In my heart, if Shepard was a Chadian, he would definitely support Gukuni, because compared to Habré, Gukuni is not a little better.

It's not that Gukuni is a good guy, but because Habré's lower limit is too low, more heavyweight than Pinochet, and even more so than those similar stars in Africa, if I have to describe them in one word, it is well-dressed beasts!

After gaining a foothold with the support of the Americans and relying on the Shadow Company to strengthen the army's combat effectiveness, Habré began his rampage even more unscrupulously on his own turf.

His family began to acquire large quantities of fertile land, and instead of buying it at any fair market price, he forcibly collected it from the peasants at extremely low prices, and even used the army for it.

Imagine a picture of well-dressed moths sitting triumphantly in front of a long line of local peasants, flanked by the black muzzles and cold bayonets of the army.

Under the threat of rifles and bayonets, the peasants had to sell their subsistence land to the moths, and if they dissatisfied, they were mercilessly beaten by the army.

The peasants who lost their land had no means of subsistence, so they had to become slaves and lease land to cultivate, and the seeds, tools, pesticides, etc. they needed even needed loans to buy from the landlords who bought the land, and the prices were even more heavyweight, a 16A2 rifle from KAC sold for only 500 dollars, and a shovel cost 50 dollars.

So, in exchange for tools, these peasants almost become working machines, because they can't pay off those loans in their lifetime.

In addition, Habré also monopolized electricity, water conservancy, road administration, mining, industry and other aspects, and a large number of Chadian enterprises went bankrupt as a result, and then Habré was nationalized, in fact, handed over to his own people.

Such a rampant grabbing of wealth naturally required all kinds of resistance, but Habré had already established a secret police force to deal with the rebels.

And the weapons and ammunition purchased from the Shadow Company are also more used in this regard.

Habré's brutality was already notorious from his time at the Liberation Front, when his men tortured and killed prisoners, robbed civilians, and even did something that surprised European allies.

They kidnapped a German doctor from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), who had been on a volunteer tour of Africa for many years, but Habré's men kidnapped him and demanded a ransom, and eventually mutilated him.

Habré's actions were not only angry among the people, but also many officers in the army could not stand it, and even Idris, Habré's most confidant, thought it was excessive, but he did not dare to persuade Habré, because the latter would not be merciful, and would even throw those who said good things into prison.

He could only complain a few words in the training camp of the Shadow Company, because Habré was so busy making money that he didn't pay attention to the military training and reorganization here.

Hannibal, who listened to Déby's grumbling every day, was also interested in this famous battle hero, because his reputation was not low, and he was more peaceful and tactful.

"This person can take his place!"

During dinner with Shepard, Hannibal put forward his own idea, although the Shadow Company and Habré's well water does not interfere with the river water, and even keeps reaping a lot of benefits, but Habré's approach also makes Hannibal a little worried about the future, he doesn't want to wake up surrounded by angry Chadian people, wouldn't it be better if he changed to a *** who maintains the same position but is more merciful?

Shepard's answer is that there are pros and cons, on the one hand, the more unpopular Habré's rule is, the more he must rely on outsiders like the Shadow Company, after all, his army may betray, his men may betray, but the Shadow Company will not.

On the other hand, as Hannibal said, Habré's affairs have caused all classes of Chad to complain, and when the volcano erupts, then the Shadow Company will inevitably be affected.

But Shepard was not in favor of overthrowing Habré, at least not for now!

Because even if Habré is a scumbag, he is still Uncle Sam's appointed agent, and he is also a hero against Gaddafi in the mouth of the people, and he has a de jure advantage.

And although Idris Deby is good, the actual prestige is still not high enough, except for the army, there is no prestige among the people, and the biggest problem is that Chad is still in a state of division, Gukuni is still in the north, and Gaddafi still occupies a large area of land, so Habré can't fall, and the northern neighbor goes south, and it will be very difficult to glue together a plate of scattered sand in the south!

However, Shepard strongly agreed with Hannibal, because in fact, after Habré stepped down due to popular grievances, it was Idris-Déby who took his place.

But the current Déby is still far from reaching the level of the later generations, or the too young, too simple Tucson is broken, and it needs to be exercised!

As for Habré's problem, the current Chad is like a spring, and it is far from reaching the step of rebound, Habré continues to be arrogant, and there is still room to scrape the ground.

And the Shadow Company can take this opportunity to make a little more, and when the spring is pressed to the bottom, it will start to rebound, and it will be too late to jump back!

At that time, Shepard can also rightfully take over the industry that Habré has looted, after all, no matter what, joint ventures are better than monopolies, and the Huairou work of the Shadow Company has always been very good.

The PCs responsible for protecting the oil fields fill their cars with cheap canned fruit from Latin America and throw them to civilians on the side of the road, especially the children, and there are several high-powered ice cream machines in the camp that can make fruit-flavored ice cream for distribution, and Shepard has also reached out to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and has given them a lot of sponsorship to invite them to Chad for a free clinic.

This is not only to establish a good reputation for the Shadow Company, so that when civilians vent their anger, they will only focus on the hatred, and on the other hand, when they may be accused of colluding with Habré in the future, Shepard can also come up with all kinds of evidence to slap the other party in the face.

After all, evidence can be faked, but children can't remember, Shepard doesn't want to be detained as a warmonger in the future, after all, he really came to maintain peace!
