Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

   Chapter 660 Prestige resounds throughout the continent

   In the plan, Petrov explained why he wanted to continue to "expand the army".

  Wagner Security Company, the total number of existing personnel is already in the early 10s, and it is said that the scale is already quite large.

   But among them, there are only more than 4,000 "combatants" that can be dispatched.

   In addition, there are more than 2,000 security personnel in charge of domestic security operations, including the Moscow security base and the Siberia security base.

   This part of the staff is only responsible for domestic business.

   For example, the security work of each oil field of Yukos Group, the security work of each gaming center of Kitty Eagle Group, etc.

   will not mobilize these people to fight abroad.

   Only the security base on the Crimei side and the newly established Burkina Faso security base in Africa can be regarded as fighters that can move around the world.

   In addition to these two groups of fighters, the remaining nearly 4,000 people are all part of the logistics support.

   also includes the operators on those warships. Under normal circumstances, warships will not easily participate in the war, so they are not counted as combatants.

  …………

   The 4,000-odd fighters who can be dispatched abroad are already a very powerful force!

   You must know that this is no ordinary security personnel, all of them are the elites of the special forces who have just retired!

   It is a bit exaggerated to say that one enemy is a hundred, but it is absolutely easy for a combat team to fight dozens of ordinary enemies.

  Why does Petrov continue to expand?

  He explained it in the plan.

In Africa, the current situation is very chaotic, especially those small countries that have no name at all in the world, such as Burkina Faso where Wang Ye's little black roommate Mumu is located, and Mauritania, Chad, Gabon, Somalia, Guinea-Bissau, etc.

  Probably most people have never heard of the names of these countries.

   Quite poor and backward, it was originally the sphere of influence of French chickens and Great Britain.

   But in recent years, these two countries have also been slowly shrinking and withdrawing from many places.

   After all, now is not the same as it was a few decades ago. You have to be concerned about world public opinion, and you can’t be too oppressive.

   could have used extremely low pay, or even no pay, to enslave these black buddies to work as coolies to earn some money.

   But if you still want to do this now, if nothing else, just the white left virgins in Europe and the United States can scold you to the sky!

  Since they can’t make any big money, they need to constantly invest in improving the infrastructure in those places, providing relief to refugees, etc., to “make up for” previous crimes.

   Who can bear this?

   Therefore, French chicken and Dae-young quit most of their original spheres of influence like a hot potato, and they no longer want to get involved with these "poor relatives".

   With their withdrawal, no other great powers came in.

   Then these places became chaotic. Some began to learn about the so-called democracy and freedom in the West, while others reversed history and engaged in some kind of monarchy.

   Clearly, none of them are successful.

   Anyway, after the chaotic war between various tribes and warlords, it was the common people who suffered.

   It was because of the chaos that Petrov discovered a business opportunity!

   In recent years, with the advancement of exploration technology, many diamond and gold mines have been discovered in Africa one after another.

   In order to compete for these mining areas, there are scuffles all over the place. The reason why Wagner can enter Burkina Faso is not because the tribe where Mumu is located and the rival tribes are robbing the mining area.

  Since this is the case, then Petrov thinks it is better to make arrangements here in advance, and "make friends" with as many powerful tribes as possible.

   Then organize a professional exploration team to come and look for mines.

   As for how to "make friends" and how to protect one's own interests after finding a mining area, then of course, we have to rely on fists to speak.

   In this case, 4,000 people are not enough, so we will recruit 3,000 people to prepare.

  We will see the situation later, if all goes well, we will expand again...

  Wagner Security Company's private background, in the African continent, the advantages are highlighted.

   will not attract the attention of major powers, and can enter many countries legitimately and reasonably by signing commercial contracts to assist those tribes or forces in their wars.

   As for other mercenaries or security companies coming over to "grab food", then they have to measure their weight first!

   To sum up in one sentence, expand your arms and prepare for war!

   As long as Wangye’s funds can keep up and he is willing to invest in the early stage, perhaps in a few years or ten years, the reputation of Wagner Company will be resounding throughout the African continent!

   From this plan, we can also see Petrov's ambition, which is quite big.

   But that's no wonder.

   Originally, he was the commander of the special forces and was an elite colonel.

  Unfortunately, when faced with such a situation in Da Mao's country, there is nowhere for him to do his best.

   Now I have come to Wagner Security Company, and I have the support of Wang Ye, a generous and rich boss. Of course, I want to make a big deal.

   In particular, Wang Ye’s development in the political arena is becoming more and more smooth, and the Wagner Company has a semi-official background.

   At least in the procurement of weapons and equipment, there will be no restrictions.

   It is no exaggeration to say that Wagner is more sophisticated than Da Mao's regular special forces in terms of individual equipment and transport vehicles!

   In other words, it is impossible to obtain real high-end weapons.

   Of course, a security company doesn't need anything like bombs, intercontinental eggs, submarines, long-range bombers, etc...

   Therefore, under normal circumstances, the strength of the team under Petrov is not inferior to that of the regular army such as the signal flag, or even better!

  …………

   After listening to Elena's report, Wang Ye did not immediately express his position.

  Because this is no small matter, he still needs to think about it.

   Originally, the Wagner Company could almost be self-sufficient, relying on its own money to support itself, without the need for large-scale investment from Wangye.

   But with the receipt of those warships, the scale of the company has expanded again. The income from the original business is not enough, and Wangye needs to invest in it.

   Now Wagner Security has two main revenue streams.

The    piece is the domestic security business income, including the three gaming centers of the Kitty Eagle Group and the major oilfield security businesses of the Yukos Group.

   These add up to about $50 million in revenue a year.

  The other piece is the mining area that Burkina Faso won last year. After dividing it with the tribe where Mumu belongs, he got a little over 80 million dollars last year.

   After the production comes up this year, there should be an income of about 200 million.

   This is all the business income. If no new business is received, the total income this year is expected to be 250 million US dollars!

   This amount is not small, but for the huge Wagner Company, especially after owning several large ships, the money is not enough to spend...
