I’m really here to keep the peace

Although Katanga is a sparsely populated place, some news does not take long to get out, such as when Shepard’s shadow company raised its flag of the castle of spades in the mercenary camp with great fanfare, and the mining enterprises throughout Katanga Province knew that the place was changing.

“French, it’s too pulling!” The

British who hid in the city and watched hated iron and steel, and they also looked forward to the destruction of both sides, so that BHP could change the previous overlord contract with the Shadow Company, but they did not expect that the French lost so completely, and the camp was occupied! However, several of the

BHP are also very perceptive, and at the first time the shadow company won, they organized several trucks to send condolences with canned fruits and vegetables to the mercenaries, and then when they returned, they did not forget to pull a cart of arms and ammunition to arm their company guards, as for weapons and ammunition, it must have been given by French friends for free.

No way, a considerable number of the French are using weapons such as MAS49 and Mat49, although there are also a lot of fal, but the legal weapons are simply not compatible with the logistics of the shadow company, and it is naturally unpolite to send Shepard, and those fals he retains some of the good quality to use as spare weapons for his own people, and the bad ones are all lost to black mercenaries. In addition,

Schapierd also has to thank François for his gratuitous assistance, the French mercenaries are equipped with almost a dozen heavy machine guns, in addition to four heavyweight water-cooled M1921, there are also two M2 old godmothers, in fact, the former is also an old godmother, but the early old godmother of the water-cooled model, and the other two are air-cooled M2 models, the air-cooled model was directly taken and reinstalled on the machine gun turret of the M20 armored vehicle, and the water-cooled one, It was thrown into the warehouse by Shepard to be sent back to China for auction by collectors.

In addition, there are several trucks, jeeps, two military radios, a hundred military sleeping bags, dozens of sets of ammunition hangers, and a number of medical supplies including bandages hemostatic powder, it can be said that the things obtained by the Shadow Company are urgently needed at present, which greatly alleviates the demand gap of the Shadow Company.

As for the funds that were knocked out, they were not so important to Shepard, after all, money could not be converted into materials immediately.

In addition, Shepard unceremoniously ransacked François’s private storage, and the other party’s treasured red wine, jewelry, and even a dozen books became his things.

But these are actually not important, because everything after that is the most important!

After leaving most of the men in the valley to continue holding prisoners, Shepard returned to the camp with his core team, because François’s former customers were all waiting for Shepard in the camp.

As a major mining province, Katanga Province produces countless amounts of various minerals from all over the world every year, and such a rich fat meat will naturally be surrounded by wolves, and everyone wants to bite. After several years of competition and games, there are

still dozens of enterprises of different sizes that can stay here, their mining areas are all over the province, the terrain is complex and inconvenient, coupled with the weak local law enforcement force, the inaction of the government army, so the car bandits are rampant, these people have been entrenched here for many years, and have turned roadblocks and looting into their official work, whether it is a humanitarian aid convoy from the United Nations, or a civilian convoy, as long as there is a chance. These guys will rush up and take a bite.

And mining companies are naturally also big fat sheep in their eyes, after all, they are all mine bosses, how can they be bad money? But the mine boss also has a temper, if you rob me once or twice, I should support the construction of Africa, but you rob me every day, so I will find someone to you!

And when there is demand, there is naturally a market, François’s mercenaries have operated here for many years, once monopolizing the security work of all mining companies, and even earning millions a year, but now, these fat differences have nothing to do with him. The

heads of these mining companies came to find Shepard, naturally they also came to escort the convoy and protect their property, although the mercenaries were gone, but their business had to continue, especially in East Asia, the demand for minerals in recent years has skyrocketed year after year, production cannot be stopped for a moment, and the transportation is even full, and it cannot be delayed at all.

Shepard had previously given these guys a much more reasonable offer than François, but for various reasons, these companies still chose François, but now François is obviously unable to rely on, and they want their fleet to survive hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of bad transportation lines, then they can only count on the Shadow Company.

Facing many people in charge with eager eyes, Shepard immediately smiled, saying that the previous quotation was a little problematic!

“What’s the problem, we think it’s very good, the price is fair, cheap and affordable!”

“Yes, the problem is because the price is fair, cheap and affordable!”

Shepard nodded, then admitted very directly.

So many responsible persons suddenly tightened their hearts.

“That, Mr. Shepard, you didn’t say that when you made an offer earlier!”

“Times have changed, everyone, look at this part of Africa, dirty, broken and backward, warlords fight tribal vendettas every day, there is peer competition, prices rise three times a day, brothers live very hard!”

And as Shepard said this, the OH6 helicopter full of two huge ice cream buckets flew over everyone’s heads, and the camp burst into cheers.

“So, you can be blunt, how much is it going to rise?”

“Well, combined with prices and the per capita income of locals, as well as the trend of international oil prices, I want to rise by 20%!”

“But what you said has nothing to do with the offer!”

“Yes, and didn’t you say before that you want to break François’s monopoly on the industry and reduce the burden on everyone?”

The people in charge immediately wailed, although the twenty percent increase was still affordable compared to the price of the French, but still had to make them pay more, which was more uncomfortable than taking their lives.

“Yes, I didn’t break the monopoly before, but now it’s broken, it’s my turn to monopolize, shouldn’t I have the final say on the price?”

Shepard lifted Erlang’s legs unhurriedly and sat down in his chair.

Now don’t talk about Katanga, the DRC currently has few opponents who can be compared with the Shadow Company, since a de facto monopoly has been achieved, then Shepard does not slaughter fat sheep fiercely, then it is impossible to say!

“Doing business, not monopoly can be called business? That’s doing charity! ”
