I’m really here to keep the peace

Although everyone is full of black uncles when they mention Africa, in fact, in Lubumbashi, Shepard still sees a lot of white people, as the capital of Katanga province, the city naturally has distinctive characteristics, major foreign-funded companies have offices here, and because of the influx of people, there are naturally a large number of European and American restaurants here.

The next morning, Shepard sent Plomly with a few men to the market to see what was going on, and then several returned with bad news and good news.

“The good news is that the furniture problem is solved, and the boss promised us to send it by car when we are ready!”

“What about the bad news?”

“The bad news is that our local friends don’t seem to be very kind to us!”

After talking with the owner of the furniture store, Lao Pu saw that the time was still early, and immediately prepared to take his men to the street to find a restaurant for two drinks, and then he found a house that was said to have the best reputation, but after entering, he found that in addition to the people from mining companies and oil companies, there were also a group of peers, their Belgian French friends!

“You guys got into a fight?”

“No, it was just a verbal exchange!”

Lao Pu went to consume, so he found a corner to sit down and try the local specialties, but he didn’t want to cause trouble, but an enthusiastic Belgian friend came over, first expressing concern about Plomri’s physical condition and age, and then slightly mockingly saying that you old and sick people from the United States are not suitable for this business.

“They seem to be very suitable for this!”

Shepard sneered a few times, he didn’t want to find trouble with those guys, but these guys came up first!

“Lao Pu, send a message to Mitchell, his people can send it immediately!”

“If you hadn’t asked me to keep a low profile as much as possible, those few miscellaneous legs would have been broken long ago!”

“I believe it, but we just arrived in this place, so don’t be too arrogant!”

In the following week, Shepard also met with his local counterparts several times, but this time the other party seemed very restrained, and there was no other provocation except for the yin and yang giggling on the side. And all the

members of the Shadow Company are adhering to his orders, all of them are low-key, waiting for the large army to advance, but what Shepard did not expect was that the first to find him was not those local counterparts, but the DRC’s Wehrmacht!

Jean Leso had previously told Shepard that a pig-headed colonel named Senario Papatoc Denecka in the local garrison had always eaten people and did not do personnel, this person was originally a military sergeant during the Belgian colonial period, because he stood in the right position at independence, so he was promoted, from a sergeant who could not read big words, and his only hobby was drinking and playing card fighting cocks to an officer who could not read the same big words. Later, during the warlord chaos, he was a subordinate of the warlord Chong Bo in Katanga Province, and later in the power struggle between Chong Bo and Mobutu,

Chong Bo failed and was exiled, and he was the first to turn to Mobutu, and only then rose three levels in a row, from a company commander to a regiment commander,

and he himself became the highest military chief of Katanga Province, commanding an army of 20,000.

That’s right, according to the document, the regular DRC army in Katanga province should be two regiments plus several battalions and a number of auxiliary personnel, totaling more than 20,000 people.

But such a large-scale army naturally needs a large amount of finances to support, in general, the current financial resources of the Democratic Republic of the Congo can definitely afford it, but the head of state Mobutu has a little problem!

Mobutu, known as the light of the DRC, had a nickname with several other good brothers in later generations, called the three major tyrants of Africa, but in fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that he is a tyrant, because Mobutu is not fond of indiscriminate killing, nor is he the kind of hungry ghost who keeps thousands of harems, he is just a little greedy for money.

This little greed for money is actually not greedy, that is, about 60% of the state finances, the head of state takes the lead in making money, then the people below must not learn and have a good look.

So the salary actually given by the 20,000 troops, that is, five thousand people, and this money, for Colonel Senario, is also a little less, so he waved his hand again, and the army of five thousand people was left with a little more than a thousand people, and the excess salary, he received, the excess equipment, he sold. Generally speaking, there is no intersection

between the military commanders of this garrison and the mercenaries, and there should not even be an intersection, but this guy’s people, for no reason, directly seized the furniture transport convoy that Shepard ordered from the market.

This makes Shepard can’t help it, I’ve seen a jumping face, I’ve never seen such a jumping face, is this a spanking of Uncle Black’s ass? No, it’s his face!

“Hannibal, call your guy and come with me! Lao Pu, get ready guys!

Shepard’s brain was hot, and he immediately wanted to bring someone to the door, and then he was stopped by Plomri.

“Calm down, calm down!”

“How calm is this, damn it, Lao Pu, you know me, when did we get this gas from Mexico to Yala to Brazil?”

“I know, but it’s different now! We now have about twenty brothers, and even if there is a conflict, we will not take advantage!

“I see!”

Shepard suppressed his anger and said.

“Let’s go, let’s go and see what this colonel wants to do!”

Immediately, Shepard took Hannibal and two black soldiers who were almost two meters and five meters tall and three thick, got into a jeep and killed all the way to the headquarters of the colonel Senario.

Looking at the fluttering American flag, the soldiers at the door did not dare to have the slightest difficulty, and hurriedly went to report, and then Shepard saw a guy who was one meter six meters tall and weighed absolutely three hundred pounds at the same time appeared in his line of sight wearing a military uniform.

“It’s like a wall?”

Hannibal whispered.

“It’s not so much a wall as a wall!”

“Dear American friends, welcome to Katanga, I wonder why you are here?”

The round guy waved his hands, very enthusiastic, but the golden gun on his belt and the gold ring on his finger were extremely dazzling, and even the military uniform that the guy was wearing had a row of dazzling gold stars, and on his chest there was a whole row of medals that could not be seen at all.

“This is the commander of the Shadow Corporation, Mr. John Shepard, we came to Katanga Province at the request of the United States Department of Defense to carry out a security mission to protect the interests of our enterprises, but yesterday, the Defense Forces seized a batch of our goods on the grounds that there were prohibited items, so we specially came to consult Mr. Colonel, what are the prohibited items?”

“Huh? That batch of rotten wood is yours?

The colonel looked stunned, while Shepard took off his sunglasses and added lightly.

“We have already informed the embassy, and I think it may not be long before Mr. Mobutu will also ask for a reply, so please ask the colonel to give us a reply!”
