Chapter 521: Tyrant

The Shadow Company was able to get an offer from Habré, the current president of Chad, naturally because of the CIA, after all, where tens of millions of funds are spent every year, it is better to find someone who knows the roots.

The Shadow Company's political stance is firm and reliable, and its fighters are either American Star-Spangled or staunch allies of freedom, and it has outstanding business capabilities and a good reputation, so it naturally becomes a priority.

As for the CIA's interest in Habré, there is naturally an important reason, because that *** Gaddafi in Libya, north of Chad, is a solid ally of the Soviet Union in Africa, and he is the philosophical brother of the Soviet Union and Brezhnev.

When it comes to the Warsaw Pact and NATO in later generations, it is inevitable to criticize the Soviet Union for how it oppresses its younger brother, but objectively speaking, the Soviet Union takes great care of its allies in its own camp when it should be taken care of, but there are really few junior brothers who are competitive, and they can be regarded as the mainstay, and there is even only one East Germany, as for anything else, there is nothing to say.

At the beginning of his rise to power through a coup d'état, Gaddafi had a good relationship with the Americans, and he said that he would respect the rights of foreign companies and protect the property of foreign companies, so Britain and the United States also invested in some industries in Libya and helped build a lot of infrastructure.

Then, with a twist of his ass, Gaddafi announced the return of the US air base, the abolition of the cooperation agreement between the two sides, and the withdrawal of the US stake in the local oil company.

At this time, Gaddafi already had very close friendly relations with the Soviet Union, so the United States could not do anything about Gaddafi's turn of face and disapproval!

The close cooperation between Libya and the Soviet Union was deeply appreciated by Brezhnev, because compared to other younger brothers who wanted the Soviet Union to bleed at every turn, Libya would instead give the Soviet Union a big mouthful of blood, because of the rich oil resources, so Gaddafi did not even bargain for arms in the Soviet Union, he bought whatever he liked, whether it was used or not, anyway, there was money!

It is precisely for this reason that the Soviet Union attaches great importance to Libya, an important node on the Mediterranean coast, because it is an important link in the Soviet strategic offensive to break NATO's blockade of the Mediterranean.

Therefore, containing Gaddafi is equivalent to containing the Soviet Union, not to mention that the rich oil resources in southern Chad have now become in the pocket of the United States, so the United States will unswervingly support Habré to the end, both public and private.

When Shepard's special C130 landed in N'Djamena, it was late at night, and Plumri, who had arrived here in advance, was waiting in a machine-gun pickup.

"You look like right now!"

"Because this place is a!"

Primri gave Shepard a warm hug, then introduced the personnel who had appeared with him at the humble airport.

This includes several CIA agents Shepard had met before, but they all looked haggard!

"Why, this girl is so hot, the brothers are squeezed dry?"

"Mr. Shepard, don't be kidding!"

The agents shook their heads with wry smiles, and then hugged him into the car.

"The airport over there at the camp hasn't been repaired yet, so let's take a car, by the way, a word of caution, don't be surprised what you see when you go out!"

After getting into the car, Primri didn't forget to remind Shepard.

"Don't be surprised, I know exactly who Habré is!"

Shepard leaned on the backrest, Chad was no better than Colombia, and the car that came to pick him up was not a limousine, but a pickup truck with bulletproof steel plates, and there were no big-breasted beauties and good wine in the car, only heavily armed PCs and agents.

After receiving Shepard, the convoy immediately started, and a group of seven vehicles drove out of the gate of the airport lined with bunkers.

As the capital of Chad during the colonial period, N'Djamena was also the focus of French construction in the past, and the colonists built infrastructure here, with electricity and water, but it was not until the convoy took to the streets that Shepard really understood what it meant to return to the pre-liberation period.

As Chad's largest city and an important industrial centre, N'Djamena is dark at night, with no lights on the streets or roadsides, let alone pedestrians, and occasionally a few dim lights that dim as the motorcade passes.

Not to mention the roads, which were built during the colonial period in just two decades now, are dilapidated and have not even been maintained by successive governments, giving Shepard the feeling of returning to the mud of rural Colombia.

As we got closer to the center of the city, there were figures on the streets, but they were armed government soldiers patrolling between looting, and as the convoy passed, several soldiers were beating a man who had just been dragged out of the house, while his wife and children were crying helplessly.

In addition to the scene of the robbery, there were occasionally several unattended corpses lying on the streets, which, judging by the dust, had been left for many days.

Shepard didn't meddle in his affairs, there was too much suffering in this land to be saved!

In addition to the scene of the robbery, there are occasional traces of light rising into the air throughout the night sky of N'Djamena, which are caused by street fires.

However, whether it was the scene of the robbery or the scene of the fire, everyone tacitly did not offend the murderous convoy, and even when passing by the scene of the fire, the locals who were burning stopped shooting, and waited until the convoy passed by and continued to fight.

Dead and lifeless, this was N'Djamena's first impression of Shepard, a city that had its moments of brilliance in the past, but now, if it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of people living in the rows of buildings, Shepard would have really thought that this was a dead place!

And the reason why N'Djamena has become like this is naturally deeply related to the civil war that has been going on for more than a decade, but it is also indispensable to the efforts of the current master of the country, that is, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, President Habré of Chad.

Because he spent countless efforts to finally overthrow a tyrant, he is also a tyrant!

N'Djamena was his first testing ground for the Reign of Terror!

"Get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow we'll see that Commander Habré!"

Shepard, who had come to N'Djamena, naturally needed to meet this tyrant as well, after all, he was the nominal employer of the Shadow Company!
