Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 660 Prestige resounds throughout the continent
In the plan, Petrov explained why he continued to "expand the army."

Wagner Security Company has a total of over [-] employees, which is said to be quite large.

But among them, there are only a total of more than [-] "combatants" that can be dispatched abroad.

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

These personnel are only responsible for domestic business.

For example, the security work of various oil fields of the Yukos Group, the security work of each gaming center of the Kitty Hawk Group, etc.

These people will not be mobilized to fight abroad.

Only the security base in Crimea and the newly established Burkina Faso security base in Africa can be regarded as fighters who can move around the world.

Except for these two parts of combatants, the remaining nearly 4000 people are all part of the logistics support.

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

…………

Combatants who can be dispatched abroad in the early [-]s are supposed to be a very powerful force!

You know, these are not ordinary security personnel, they are all the elite of the newly retired Da Mao Special Forces!

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

Why did Petrov continue to expand the scale?

This is how he explained it in the plan.

In Africa, the current situation is very chaotic, especially those small countries that cannot be named internationally, just like Burkina Faso, where Wang Ye’s little black roommate Mu Mu lives. Somalia, Guinea-Bissau, etc.

Most people may not have heard of the names of these countries.

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

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

After all, it is different now than it was a few decades ago. One should be wary of world public opinion and not be too oppressive.

Originally, with very low pay, or even no pay, these black buddies could be enslaved to work as coolies to earn some money.

But if you still want to do this now, among other things, the white left saints in Europe and the United States can scold you to the sky!

Since they can't make much money, they need to continue to invest in improving the infrastructure of those places, providing relief to refugees and so on, in order to "make up" for previous crimes.

Who can bear this.

Therefore, like a hot potato, Faji and Daying withdrew from most of their original sphere of influence, and did not want to mess with these "poor relatives" any more.

With their withdrawal, no other great powers entered.

Then these places became chaotic. Some began to learn from the so-called democracy and freedom in the West, while others turned back the wheel of history and set up a monarchy.

Obviously, there is no kind of success.

Anyway, after various tribes and warlords fought in chaos, it was the common people who suffered.

It was because of the chaos that Petrov discovered the business opportunity!
Over the years, with the advancement of exploration technology, many diamond mines and gold mines have been discovered in Africa one after another.

In order to compete for these mining areas, various places are fighting again. The reason why Wagner was able to enter Burkina Faso is because Mumu's tribe and the hostile tribe are robbing the mining areas.

If 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 prospecting team to look for ore.

As for how to "make friends" and how to protect one's own interests after finding the mining area, of course it depends on fists.

In this case, 3000 people is not enough to see, and [-] people are recruited first.

It will look at the situation in the later stage, if everything goes well, it will expand again...

The private background of Wagner Security Company, in this continent of Africa, has highlighted its advantages.

It will not attract the attention of big countries, and it can legitimately and reasonably enter many countries by signing commercial contracts, and assist those tribes or forces in their conquests.

As for other mercenaries or security companies coming to "grab food and eat", then they have to weigh their own weight first!
To sum it up in one sentence, expand the army and prepare for war!
As long as Wang Ye's funds can keep up and he is willing to invest in the early stage, maybe a few years or ten years later, the reputation of Wagner Company will resound throughout the entire 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 he was an elite colonel.

It's a pity that encountering the situation in Da Mao's country, there is nowhere to display his abilities.

Now that he came to Wagner Security Company, with the support of Wang Ye, a generous boss with strong financial resources, of course he wanted to do something big.

In particular, Wang Ye's development in the political arena is getting smoother and smoother, and the Wagner Company still has a semi-official background.

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

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

That is to say, it is impossible to obtain real high-tech weapons.

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

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the strength of Petrov's team is not inferior to regular troops such as signal flags, or even surpassed!
…………

After listening to Yi Lianna's report, Wang Ye did not express his opinion immediately.

Because this is not a small matter, he still needs to think about it again.

Originally, Wagner Company was almost self-sufficient, relying on its own money to support itself, and there was no need for Wang Ye to invest on a large scale.

But with the reception of those warships, the company expanded again. It was not enough to rely on the income from the original business alone, and Wang Ye needed to invest in it.

Now Wagner Security Company's income mainly has two major chunks.

One 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 $5000 million a year in revenue.

The other one is the mining area that Burkina Faso won last year. After being divided with Mu Mu's tribe, he got a little over 8000 million US dollars last year.

After the production comes up this year, there should be an income of about [-] million yuan.

This is all the business income. If there is no new business received, the estimated total income this year will be [-] 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...
