As soon as they walked in, someone immediately took them to a very elegant and secluded room. A dining table had been set up in the room. The two people sitting on the sofa got up and came out.
"You guys are very punctual. I'm glad to see you all." One of them, a tall and thin middle-aged man with sharp eyes like an eagle, extended his hand to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui also stretched out his hand, nodded and said, "Nice to meet you."
The other person was a middle-aged fat man. 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 haven't heard this kind of speech with Chinese characters for a long time. 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 Fulon from the intelligence department. I am Bordeka from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We are very much looking forward to this meeting. Although Mr. Michel could not come in person, we still I am looking forward to this meeting. What a coincidence. Colonel Furlong happens to be a China expert. I think you will have a lot to talk about."
"Yes, I like Chinese people." The middle-aged fat man said with a smile, "I have many Chinese friends, and China has always been Russia's best neighbor and strategic partner. We are like old friends."
"Since you said so, how about returning Tangnu Lianghai and Vladivostok to your old friends?" Lin Rui smiled.
Colonel Furlong¡¯s smile was a little stiff. Lin Rui was talking about Chinese territories that had been occupied by Russia in history, in order to laugh at this so-called old friend.
"This is obviously not the topic we are going to discuss today." Colonel Furlong was a little embarrassed.
Lin Rui smiled and shook his head, "That's right, so we have to get back to the point. In business, there is no need to have personal feelings with me, and there is no need to mention any old friends. In fact, just a minute ago I I don¡¯t know you yet, even if we do now, we are not friends. I think you are not very clear about the concept of private military companies. We are a commercial company. 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 development of our company, not to make friends. Because in the business world, friends like you are no more reliable than girls you can get to know for a little money in a bar. "
The fat middle-aged Colonel Fulong and the tall and thin middle-aged man were stunned for a while and looked at Lin Rui blankly.
"I am not saying this against you two, but to express our attitude. We only discuss business, regardless of personal relationships." Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Okay, now we can start talking."
"Mr. Rick, please pay attention to your attitude, we" Bordeka, a middle-aged man with eagle-like eyes, said in a deep voice, "Mr. Rick, please pay attention to your attitude."
The fat man Fulong next to him was obviously more calm than him. He raised his hand slightly to stop him from continuing. Instead, he smiled and said to Lin Rui, "Of course. In fact, I really appreciate your straightforward character."
He paused, "In fact, private military companies like yours have proven their efficiency more than once, but many people in Russia have not seen this clearly. In the context of Russia's increasingly severe national security issues, Russia should consider establishing Our own legal private military company. We came to you this time to discuss the feasibility of this situation."
Shogan said calmly, "Non-state military institutions that provide military security services on the basis of professional contracts have long existed. Even the establishment of the ancient Rus' Principality can be attributed to attracting military retainers like the Varangians. Today, in In a context where combat operations are becoming more mobile, more technologically advanced, and the political situation is constantly changing, the existence of such an organization 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 subject to many political and legal restrictions. It is therefore not surprising that private military companies are an actively developing economic sector. "
"We understand, and the higher-ups have also recognized this urgency. But we are still facing some pressure." Fatty Fulong frowned, "You know after the Chechen War, some of us still have lingering fears about the actions of mercenaries. .¡±
Lin Rui nodded, "It's 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 participate in the war. . Such companies also provide military logistics, consulting, training and other services.
I have a record here??29% of U.S. intelligence personnel and 49% of manpower budget expenditures belong to private military companies. The size of this market is approximately US$100 billion per year. By the way, your country's military spending is increasing significantly. Considering that Russia occupies nearly 27% of the international arms market, the export of in-depth products represented by private military services may form a considerable scale.
There would be huge unrealized gains in this regard, not to mention missed diplomatic opportunities and fundamental national security issues. This is also the reason why we came this time. "Lin Rui reached out and took the document Jiang An handed him and put it on the table.
"It seems that you are all well prepared." Fatty Fulong picked up the information and flipped through it, then turned to Boltjeka, "You should also explain the situation to them."
Bordeka nodded, "National security issues are particularly urgent now because Russia has directly fought with Western private military companies more than once in the Georgian war. Hundreds of instructors from private military companies serve Tbilisi. This To a large extent, this has been the reason why Russia suffered heavy military losses in the conflict. Western private military companies are also actively operating in southeastern Ukraine, which somewhat makes up 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 once criticized them. But the principle of military reciprocity determines that if one side has a decisive weapon, no matter how harmful it is, you must have it, otherwise you will not be able to have an independent future.
¡°In the 21st century, private military companies have become an increasingly popular and important force in the security field. Denying this reality may bring irreparable consequences to Russia¡¯s national defense. So we decided to develop private military companies in Russia. "
