"I roughly understand what you mean. But Colonel Jonathan, this does surprise me.
In addition, I don¡¯t know whether the opportunity you mentioned is indeed an opportunity for our company, or whether it is a higher risk. "Lin Rui tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"No, no, no, Mr. Rick, listen to me. This matter is indeed an opportunity for us, if it succeeds.
It will greatly restore the reputation established by the US military in Africa. In addition, it will also serve as a strong impetus for our Africa Command to return to Africa.
But it¡¯s also a real benefit to you. This means there will be more collaboration between us. It means you will get bigger order contracts.
Our cooperative is just the beginning. You know, although the Pentagon has never given up on expanding its influence in Africa.
But the White House obviously wants to maintain the status quo and does not want to involve more military power in Africa. There are differences in this regard.
And this difference creates a huge opportunity.
On the one hand, it hopes to expand its influence in Africa, but on the other hand, it is no longer willing to invest too much manpower in Africa. This makes military companies like yours the real winners. "Jonathan said very seriously.
"I didn't really see it." Lin Rui smiled.
"Mr. Rick, there is no need to talk in circles between us. From Iraq to Afghanistan, there are countless successful examples that have proven the role of private military companies in war.
How many organizations like your company become contractors for the US military every year?
¡°As for Mr. Rick, I think you know best what kind of results these military contractors have achieved.
Mr. Rick, you understand better than anyone else that this is an opportunity. "Jonathan looked at Lin Rui.
Lin Rui nodded, "I know this is an opportunity. But I really have no preparation. Recently, we have been resting, expanding our personnel, and replenishing equipment.
Maybe we are not ready to accept such a large task. I originally thought you just wanted to get rid of a certain leader of the Somali Youth Army, or launch some revenge against the Somali Youth Army.
¡°But I really didn¡¯t expect that you were preparing for a big one. "
"So this is the opportunity. Rick, I know what you did in Western Sahara. You assisted the local armed forces in Western Sahara and destroyed the Jihadist Alliance.
You taught them a lesson. Those terrorists are afraid of you. I know that you have the ability to fight on a certain scale.
¡°And you are not the only ones fighting in Somalia. The Somali National Army will fully cooperate with you.
We will declare to the outside world that you are a special operations group of the US military stationed in Somalia. Assist the Somali National Army in eliminating terrorist organizations in Somalia. "Jonathan looked at Lin Rui.
"Let me think about it." Lin Rui nodded.
"Of course. But I still advise you not to give up this opportunity. Rick, I am your friend.
And this is a business. Since it is a business, you have to make decisions from a business perspective. "Jonathan looked at Lin Rui and smiled.
"You are becoming more and more eloquent. It seems that you are not fooling around at the Africa Command headquarters in vain." Lin Rui also smiled, took out a cigar from the cigar box and handed it to Jonathan. "Why don't you take a cigarette and rest for a while, and I'll discuss it with Mr. John."
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Rui and the actuary Jiang An came outside the office.
"Actuary, what do you think about this matter?" Lin Rui frowned.
"To be honest, I'm quite surprised. I had the same idea as you, I thought they were just going to carry out a revenge operation.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that their appetite was really big enough, and they wanted to completely wipe out the Somali Youth Army. "The actuary Jiang An sneered.
"I think this is indeed an opportunity." Lin Rui nodded, "The US Africa Command's plan to return to Africa has been planned by the military for more than ten years.
This time Nigeria took the initiative, and those military bosses started to make moves again.
Now is the time when they urgently need to flex their muscles, but the White House is pressing them hard.
This means that they will need military companies like us to play the leading role for a long time to come.
This is indeed a great opportunity for the company¡¯s development. On the other hand, we can use this relationship to open up channels for high-level officials in Somalia. "
Jiang An nodded, "I've thought about it this way before. Somalia is one of the least developed countries in the world. Due to ongoing civil war, the society and education system have collapsed for many years.
¡°However, it has an important geographical location and is the only sea route for cargo ships from various countries to enter and leave the Suez Canal.
If we can enhance our presence in Somalia and even open up channels for high-level officials in Somalia, the benefits to the company will outweigh the disadvantages.
However, although we defeated the Jihadist Alliance in the Western Sahara operation, we were actually greatly affected.
Although the newly added personnel are already in place, most of them have only received basic training. I have not experienced the baptism of actual combat.
¡°I¡¯m still a little worried about having to carry out such a large-scale operation in such a short period of time. "
Lin Rui pondered, "This is what I worry about. But opportunities are rare now, and soldiers who have not experienced war will never truly mature.
And fighting is always the most effective way for soldiers to grow up quickly. Although this operation carries high risks, it also has high rewards. "
"Then you mean to agree to them?" Actuary Jiang'an asked in a low voice.
"We can agree to them, but we have to increase the price. Although they gave us a good quotation, I believe there is still room for it." Lin Rui nodded.
"I understand. Since we are going to take risks, we must make our adventures worthwhile." Actuary Jiang An smiled.
"That's what I mean." Lin Rui patted his shoulder, and then. The two people returned to the office.
Jonathan looked at them with a cigar in his mouth, "It seems that the two of you have already discussed the result. Can you tell me your decision?"
"We intend to accept it, but we still have a dispute on the price." The actuary Maakishi shrugged.
"Don't be like this, brother, I've got a good price for you." Jonathan shook his head, "You can't have a big appetite."
"Colonel, you know our appetite." Lin Rui smiled, "You should have known this before you came to us.
Your offer does look good, but it is not enough to eradicate the entire Somali Youth Army.
Even if you look for other private military companies, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be at this price.
This will be a large-scale military operation with huge costs. You are here to ask us for help. We cannot help you and then pay for it yourself.
So give me a real price and we¡¯ll sign a decent contract. "
Jonathan put down the cigar in his hand and looked at Lin Rui with squinted eyes, "Add 20% at most."
"What we want is a 30% increase. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to help." Lin Rui shook his head.
