Chapter 522: 84 War Zone
The Shadow Company's camp in N'Djamena is not in the city, but in an old factory outside the city, which was a cotton factory established during the French colonial period and once played a role in the anti-fascist war, and many of the Free French military uniforms were produced here.
It's just that after independence, the factories here are finished, and the workers are still the same workers, but the management has changed, and as a result, the factories have closed down, the machines have been resold out, and now after so many years of civil war, the factories are not even the walls.
After Plomri and his men arrived in advance, they urgently purchased a full 10 kilometers of barbed wire from Europe to isolate the factory.
Later, he also asked the transport plane to send over more than 100 sets of explosion-proof wall modules, so that the factory camp could be regarded as a gate.
As for the accommodation for the personnel, it is tents, because there is nothing left in the factory building, not even the bricks on the walls.
However, it doesn't matter if the living conditions are bad, the most important thing is the poor security situation.
How complex the internal social environment of Chad is, before I came, PC knew that there are 200 ethnic groups here, and to put it mildly, the Balkans are relatively simple compared to here. Look at the book
During the French colonial period, the national contradictions were extremely acute, with many people bullying the few, and the big fists oppressing the small fists, and during the French colonial period, the contradictions were once suppressed, because the French lords came here to make money, not to collect corpses, and when France left, the national independence war began, and all ethnic groups naturally began to have revenge and revenge.
Especially now, Chad has experienced six rounds of civil war, it can be said that it is a real Tibetan army for the people, all tribes have guys in their hands, and no one obeys anyone, even if it is a nominal country, it can only be regarded as a big tribe, and it is a question of whether the decree can even be issued by N'Djamena.
Although tribal clashes try to avoid offending these uneasy Americans, N'Djamena is so big, so it is not surprising that when everyone sleeps soundly, all kinds of gunfire are heard, and sometimes even stray bullets will land in the camp.
As for the source of supplies for the camp, it can only be said that the CIA is a person, the food is airlifted from Europe by transport planes, at least it can ensure that the camp has meat and vegetables, and the power generation depends on generators, for which the camp is equipped with two high-power diesel generators, but diesel fuel cannot be obtained directly, although the United States has taken over the rich oil resources discovered by the French in Chad, but the crude oil extracted cannot be used directly, and must be sent to other processing plants, N'Djamena originally has a processing plant, But when Habré's army returned to N'Djamena, the defenders had destroyed the factory and everything in the battle.
But fortunately, the reconstruction of the factory has been put on the agenda, and in less than half a year, the Shadow Company should be able to use locally produced diesel!
This was true outside the city, let alone in the city, where N'Djamena would have come to a bloody reckoning without a single change of master, and Habré had recently entered the city, and his army had killed a thousand men that day.
Since then, there have been even more riots in and around the city, and the armed forces of various factions will fight each other if they disagree, and there will even be scenes of armed personnel of multiple factions patrolling the city at the same time.
In addition to the large number of armed factions, N'Djamena was also characterized by a large number of concentration camps and prisons, because the first thing Habré did when he took over N'Djamena was to establish a secret police force to arrest the opposition.
For this reason, the PCs of Shadow Company also gave Chad a new name called Warzone 84 according to the Japanese anime Warzone 88 of the same period!
After returning to the camp, Primri also couldn't help but find Shepard and raise his concerns.
Because according to his observations, Habré really doesn't look like some wise lord, maybe he will be overthrown one day, Shepard's business is a bit risky!
"Very well, you have your objections, so that our group can develop healthily!"
Shepard was satisfied, although he also needed the kind of subordinates who were meticulous in carrying out orders, but he also needed people who could carry out orders and think, and Primri, as the old man he brought, had such doubts, let alone the others.
"In that case, let's not sleep and call all the officers!"
Soon Shepard's tent was filled with half-naked men in big trousers, some wearing nightcaps, some holding dolls from their daughters, and Shepard was dressed in an Arabic nightgown with a North African character.
"Although this meeting was supposed to open tomorrow, I think it's unfair that I haven't slept with you yet, so let's open it tonight!"
Before Shepard could finish speaking, the boos drowned him out, and his commanders knew that the boss was really inappropriate, so they raised their middle fingers.
"But even if you scold me, the meeting that should be held still has to be held!"
Shepard began with a detailed account of the Shadow Company's business and the handling of the locals, and finally moved on to the Habré regime.
"I know some of you don't think much of Habré, and so do I, but this guy is Uncle Sam's chosen spokesperson, so his position looks shaky, but in fact, no one else can sit on it until Uncle Sam nods, so you can rest assured about this!"
"What about the government forces?"
"If you can ignore it, ignore it, we have limited capabilities, we can't help much, everyone, we are military contractors, so we have to have the professionalism of contractors, what to do and what not to do, I think you know very well that sometimes your actions are not just on behalf of individuals, but on our entire company!"
After Shepard finished speaking, the tone changed again.
"Of course, if someone really can't stand it, they can also take action, but if you want to solve the trouble later, you can solve it yourself, and if you want the company to handle it, then you are ready to take out the coffin book for me!"
Shepard's words can be regarded as setting a baseline, after all, the PCs still have a lost conscience, or rather, some local things that they can't accept if they think they have no conscience. In this way, they will also have a little more consideration before dealing with local affairs.
"And don't feel bad, I'll have to see Habré tomorrow, it's more uncomfortable than you!"
"Did you prepare a gift for that guy?"
"I'm ready, but it cost me a lot of money!"
Shepard said, pulling out a 9mm P5 gold-plated wooden butt submachine gun licensed by Knight Ordnance himself.
This is the gift he brought to Habré!
