Battlefield Contractor

As soon as they walked in, someone immediately led them to a very elegant and secluded room, where the dining table was already set, and the two people sitting on the sand got up and greeted them.

"A few are very punctual. I am glad to meet you." One of them was a little tall and thin, but the middle-aged man with sharp eyes stretched out his hand to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui also stretched out his hand and nodded, "Happy meeting."

The other person was a fat man with some middle-aged blessings. He smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I didn't expect that the person who came to represent the Silver Wolf this time was so young. Moreover, I have not heard of this kind of bringing China The accent is Russian. I always thought that speaking Russian with a Chinese accent would have a very special and elegant accent."

The tall and thin middle-aged man nodded and said, "This is Colonel Fulong from the intelligence department. I am Boljeka from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We look forward to this meeting very much. Although Mr. Michel did not come in person, we still I am looking forward to this meeting. This is a coincidence. It just so happens that Colonel Fulong is a Chinese expert. I think you will have a lot to talk about.

"Yes, I like Chinese." The middle-aged fat man smiled and said, "I have many Chinese friends, and China has always been our Russia's best neighbor and strategic partner. We are like old friends."

"Since you have said so, how about returning Tang Nu Lianghai and Vladivostok to your old friends?" Lin Rui smiled.

Colonel Fulong's smile was a little stiff. Lin Rui said that these were Chinese territories occupied by Russia in history, in order to mock this so-called old friend.

"This... is obviously not the topic we are going to discuss today." Colonel Fulong was a little embarrassed.

Lin Rui smiled and shook his head, "That's too right, so we still have to return to the point. In business, there is no need to have personal relationships with me, and there is no need to mention old friends. In fact, I was just a minute before. If I don’t know you yet, even if I know now, we are not friends. I think you are not too clear about the concept of private military companies. We are commercial companies. So we have partners and competitors, but we have no friends. , We don’t need friends either.

Because everything is a transaction. When we put our lives on the trading table, we are destined to have no friends anymore. We are here to hear your suggestions for the company's exhibition, not to make friends. Because for business, friends like you are no more reliable than the girls you can meet in a bar with a little money. "

The middle-aged fat Colonel Fulong and the tall and thin middle-aged man were dumbfounded, staring at Lin Rui in a daze.

"I said this by no means aimed at the two, but to show our attitude. Only talking about business, regardless of personal relationships." Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Well, now we can start talking."

Boljeka, a middle-aged man with eagle-like eyes, said solemnly, "Mr. Rick, please pay attention to your attitude, we..."

The fat Fulong beside him was obviously more calm than him, and raised his hand slightly to stop him from continuing. Instead, he smiled and said to Lin Rui, "Of course. Actually, I appreciate your straightforward character."

He paused, "Actually, private military companies like yours have proven their efficiency more than once, but many people in Russia have not seen this clearly. Against the background of increasingly severe Russian national security issues, Russia should consider establishing My own legal private military company. We are here to discuss the feasibility of this situation."

Jiangan calmly said, "On the basis of professional contracts, non-state military institutions that provide military security services have already existed. Even the establishment of the ancient Rus Principality can be attributed to the attraction of military attendants like the Varangian. In the context of increasing mobility of combat operations, increasing technological content, and constantly changing political situations, the existence of such institutions has become particularly urgent.

At the same time, more and more countries, including Russia, have to reduce their conscripts. At the same time, the use of contract soldiers is restricted by many political and legal regulations. Therefore, it is not surprising that private military companies have become an active economic field. "

"We understand, and the upper echelons have recognized such an urgency. But we still face some pressure." Fatty Fulong frowned. "You know that after the Chechen War, some of us still feel lingering about the actions of mercenaries. ."

Lin Rui nodded, "Understandable, but military companies are not the same as mercenaries. If private security companies help the police, then private military companies are helping the military. This does not necessarily mean that they need to be fully armed and directly involved in the war. This company also provides various services such as military logistics, consulting, and training.

I have a record here that 29% of the personnel and 49% of the manpower budget of the US intelligence services belong to private military companies. The size of this market is approximately 100 billion US dollars per year. By the way, your country’s military expenditures are increasing dramatically. Considering that Russia occupies nearly 27% of the international weapons market, the export of in-depth products represented by private military services may form a considerable scale.

In this regard, there will be huge unrealized gains, not to mention missed diplomatic opportunities and basic issues of national security. This is why we are here this time. "Lin Rui reached out and took the document that An hand passed him on the table.

"It seems that you are here prepared." Fat Fulong picked up the information and turned it over, then turned to Boljeka, "You can also explain the situation to them."

Boljeka nodded, "The current national security issue is particularly urgent now, because Russia has more than once directly fought with Western private military companies during the Georgian War. Hundreds of private military company instructors serve Tbilisi. This To a large extent, it became the cause of Russia's heavy military losses in the conflict. Western private military companies are still active in southeastern Ukraine, which somewhat compensates for the lack of combat power of the Ukrainian regular army.

So although we still have various views on such private military institutions, we even criticized them at one time. But the principle of military reciprocity determines that if one party has a decisive weapon, no matter what its harmfulness is criticized, you must have it, otherwise you cannot have an independent future.

In the 21st century, private military companies have become an increasingly popular force in the security field, denying that this reality may have irreversible consequences for Russian defense. So we decided to exhibit private military companies in Russia. "
