Third-rate contractors sell force, second-rate contractors sell weapons, and first-rate contractors sell war, and under Shepard's years of operation, the Shadow Company can be regarded as a preliminary achievement of his vision back then.

However, it is still far from going further, after all, compared with after the end of the Cold War, because of the suppression of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, there were not as many wars as in later generations, so the spring of contractors is far from coming.

However, with pioneers like Shepard, contractors have sprung up in the same period, which is a lot more than in the previous life.

And the battlefield in Afghanistan has become a new blue ocean for these contractors!

Osama heeded Shepard's advice and began to systematically integrate his funded followers, and began to hire mercenaries and Western military volunteers to participate in his anti-Soviet cause.

These jobs and businesses are actually acceptable to the Shadow Company, but Shepard, who knows what kind of person Osama is, gave up his intention to continue to cooperate with the other party in depth, and instead chose to muddy the waters, so that if something happens in the future, the Shadow Company will not have to take the blame.

However, Osama did not notice Shepard's estrangement, or he did not pay attention to it at all, Shepard's words opened up a new world for him, and he had never thought of such a distant thing before.

After all, setting up an organizational structure and turning it into a legitimate resistance force is still too far away for Osama, who is still just a young and promising real estate businessman worth an unknown amount of billions.

But after listening to Shepard's advice, Osama decisively abandoned his privileged life, and then really went to ****.

There, he brought a lot of good things to the militia that he had been supporting, including purchased canned fruit and currency such as dollars and rubles.

The reason why it is ruble dollars is because the local currency of the Afghani can be used as waste paper to wipe the buttocks, and the Soviets have also made many restrictions on materials in order to control the rebels, and the goods on the market are not only scarce but also expensive, and can only be purchased on the black market.

And the black market only accepts rubles or dollars, and it is not impossible to have pounds and **** rupees, but don't think about Afghanistan!

In addition to material condolences, Osama also directly announced that he would provide pensions to the militia killed in the guerrillas in accordance with the advice of the think tank, and that he would give his family a pension that is absolutely not expensive for Afghans every year, and this money will be distributed until the family's first child grows up.

Many of the guerrilla leaders were stunned by this move, and when they reacted, they immediately surrounded Osama reverently and began to call out to Allahu Akbar!

Osama's first step was to bring together all the followers and militias he could take care of, and he had to come up with something convincing to them.

Although the same effect can be achieved in a religious direction, the slogans cannot be eaten, and the guerrillas also have family and friends, so they can fight better.

After all, the quality of the guerrillas is uneven, and you can see the 58-year-old man who is still charging into battle with an AK, and you can also meet a teenager like Ali.

Although the combination of old and young looks beautiful, the Soviets' bullets will not manage whether they are old or young, as long as they touch them, they will die.

Therefore, eliminating those old people and children is an indispensable link, but this does not mean that they should be driven out of the team, but to divide the tasks, after all, some old people have begged for a life in the mountains of Afghanistan! Without them, the team would not have been able to move an inch.

And those young people, especially teenagers in their teens, have to stay in the **** training class, many of them have been educated, so they should continue to study, and this is also for the future.

What Shepard didn't expect was that this matter also got Morgan's attention, and he also asked Shepard to send some of the younger children to the United States, where they received education and training in relevant fields!

After all, everyone is going to be good friends, that

It's okay to accept some American values! In this way, when the Soviets retreat in the future, maybe those young people who have received an American education will still be able to make a difference in the post-war country!

With the help of mercenaries and a team of think tanks, Osama's integration process went relatively smoothly, and he had time to discuss with the local sects in Afghanistan to determine the structure of the program.

Because Afghanistan is currently facing the invasion of the Soviets, the first program created by Osama is to unite the world to expel the Soviet Union, thwart the invasion, fight for independence, and defend civilization.

With such a start, the subsequent development of the program became more and more smooth, and soon Osama wrote more outlines on politics, culture, religious activities, etc., and the outline was made a copy by the think tank and passed on to Shepard and the CIA.

Perhaps because the economic and national issues at this moment are not as complex as they were after the end of the Cold War, the original version of Osama's outline did not reflect any extremism, but rather a lot of secularized concepts, so in the eyes of the CIA, this is also a very good thing, because it can greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the resistance and help them better fight against the Soviet Union.

As a result, Osama's plan was further pursued, and the CIA even joined forces with the three armed forces intelligence to help Osama continue to integrate more resistance forces and militia factions.

Subsequently, Osama also gave his brand new, not yet fully formed organization a name, called Religious Students, and an alias called ***.

Shepard didn't expect that he could become the founder of the little half of this thing, but there is nothing wrong with thinking about it, after all, in the previous life, the establishment of this organization was indispensable to the positive and negative help of the Americans.

Before Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States, it was the largest importer of scrap steel and crude oil in the United States, the 13-state colonies in North America established by the British were also anti-guest and became their fathers, and the French supported the opposition in Africa, which attracted extremist militants, not to mention Israel, which has been fighting in the Middle East for decades, and the Palestinian resistance they wanted to eliminate was originally supported by them to deal with the Palestinian regime.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Shepard supporting the public enemy in the future, otherwise there will be no enemy, where will the military budget be spent?
