If you want to ask the Chadian official, who is close, the official answer is naturally French, and the Chadian army is close to whom, the official answer is naturally France, but in fact, Idris's descendants are closer to Shepard's mercenaries.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the Shadow Company undertook the task of training the Chadian army, and even secretly gave the Chadians a bias in the joint exercises conducted by Chad and France, and all the standard light weapons of the Chadian army were purchased from the Shadow Company, and the Shadow Company actually participated in the combat missions of the Chadian army.

Therefore, in terms of preference, a considerable part of the Chadian military still prefers the Americans a little, but only a little, not much.

On the one hand, they hate the French in the past colonial years and the various elbows and controls in Chad, but on the other hand, because of the territorial conflict, they have to rely on the French, because the United States will not send ground troops to intervene, so that the Shadow Company can appear, it is already the bottom line.

Therefore, the colonel was in tears, not really moved by the support of the French, but this guy was acting innocently.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Libyans are plotting a big wave on the other side of the Line of Control, and in the past few days they have been constantly carrying out aerial reconnaissance and fixed-point bombing, and in just two or three days, they have made more than 20 sorties, and the key bombing target is Fada.

Although the Chadian army still has a large number of anti-tank missiles and some long-range artillery, it will definitely not be able to stop the all-out attack of the Libyans.

If this one French battalion is on the front line, then the French air force is bound to strike a thunderous blow at the Libyans in this area.

That's why the colonel will welcome the arrival of the French so warmly, as long as he can make these guys squat with him, let alone treat the French as a father, even if he wants to kneel down and lock the French, the colonel can do it.

As for the Shadow Company, according to Shepard's requirement that he only fights with the wind, once the Libyans break through the defensive line, then they will not hesitate to abandon the Chadians and run away, about this, Hannibal also clearly informed the colonel, who also expressed his understanding, after all, mercenaries are mercenaries, unless the Chadian government offers a high price enough to buy their deaths, otherwise, they will not stay!

In the face of the colonel's warm reception, the French only felt awkward, after all, he was not actually here to be a savior, he just came to see the situation, how could they be allowed to fight the main force?

But Major Duvalier underestimated the Chadians, or rather the Shadow Company behind them, for they had already prepared a great gift for the French when they arrived in Fada.

At the beginning, this gift was hundreds of Chadian grandmothers and aunts, who wore local costumes that they were usually reluctant to wear, and only wore them during the New Year's holidays, and then greeted the arrival of the French soldiers on the roadside.

When the French soldiers in the vab armored car saw so many grandmothers and grandmothers standing on the side of the road, they were simply stupid, because this is the enthusiasm of the black grandmothers.

They stopped the French convoy, and then they were about to enthusiastically send food, drink, flowers, and fragrant kisses to the heavenly soldiers.

At that time, an old lady in her seventies even climbed into a French wheeled chariot with the help of others, and then gave the commander of the turret with half of his body exposed to give a gentle French kiss.

The French commander was so frightened that he almost pulled out his pistol.

These old ladies naturally can't be spontaneous, in fact, they are all hired by the Chadian army, specially to play the role of extras to welcome the heavenly soldiers, as long as they come to be actors, each of them can receive a free twenty catties of hot noodles.

These 20 catties of flatbread are not a small amount for Chadian civilians, a family of three can save some food, enough to not go hungry for a week, not to mention that in addition to 20 catties of flatbread, there are free blankets and plastic buckets to receive.

Therefore, there was an endless stream of applicants, and there were even a large number of little girls to participate, and out of consideration for the fighting power of the French, the young girls were finally expelled, and Shepard did not believe that the heavenly soldiers could still deal with the average age of the gang

The old lady of thirteen started.

And the fellow is welcome, this is just an appetizer, and the Shadow Company has also prepared a big meal, that is, a vote of Western journalist friends.

These Western friends have been witnessing the Libyan invasion in the Fada region since the beginning, and they have taken many photos and written reports about the total annihilation of the Libyan armored forces, and these journalist friends have witnessed the hard fighting of the Chadian army and the intensity of the war.

And now, with the arrival of the French, the reporters naturally put the focus of their reporting on these French soldiers.

Journalists have heard a lot of rumors about the French in the Chadian army, such as that everything will be fine as long as the French attack, so their judgment of the French combat effectiveness has naturally been affected.

And after witnessing the scene of the warm welcome of the French *** team from the villagers, they also began to write about the Chadians seeing the French soldiers as saviors.

There is no reason for the French to stop such positive reporting, so it is easy for journalists to send their reports and photos to their headquarters.

And this is actually a kind of killing, because those overwhelming reports let Europeans know how the French team defends justice in Africa, so it will also form a mental steel mark in their minds, so that they can understand that the French can solve the problem if they go.

This means that they will feel that the French will not retreat, but will only plow and sweep away the Libyans.

This is tantamount to cutting off the retreat of the French, and if they choose to retreat in the subsequent battle, then it will naturally be reported by the reporters again, which means the destruction of the magnificent image created before.

Then it will also be a blow to the majesty of France.

Therefore, whether it is military or political, the farther the news of the arrival of the French is disseminated, the more uncomfortable it will be for the French to be roasted on the fire.

In this way, when the Libyans began to attack, the French could only squat in the trenches on the front line, and even they had to squat further forward than the Chadians, otherwise they would not be sorry for the expectations of those fellows, after all, when they came, the fellows took out all the eggs at the bottom of the box and worked for the army!
