Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

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

Wagner Security Company has a total number of employees of over 10,000, which is said to be quite large.

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

In addition, there are more than 2,000 security personnel responsible for domestic security operations, including the Moscow security base and the Siberian security base.

This group of personnel is only responsible for domestic business.

For example, the security work of various oil fields of Yukos Group, the security work of various gaming centers of Kitty Eagle Group, etc.

These people will not be mobilized to fight abroad.

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

In addition to these two groups of combatants, the remaining nearly 4,000 people are considered to be the logistics support department.

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

…………

Just over 4,000 combatants can be dispatched abroad. This is supposed to be a very powerful force!

You know, these are not ordinary security personnel, they are all the elites of the Da Mao Special Forces who have just retired!

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

Why does Petrov continue to expand?

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 by the international community, such as Burkina Faso where Wang Ye’s little black roommate Mumu lives, and Mauritania, Chad, Gabon, Somalia, Guinea-Bissau, etc.

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

Quite poor and backward, it was originally the sphere of influence of the French and British.

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

After all, things are different now than they were a few decades ago. We have to take into account world public opinion and not be too oppressive.

It could have been possible to use very low remuneration or even no remuneration to enslave these black guys to work as coolies to earn some money.

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

Since you can't make much money, you need to continuously invest in improving the infrastructure of those places, relieving refugees, etc., in order to "make up for" previous crimes.

Who can bear this?

Therefore, French Chicken and Daying were like dumping a hot potato, withdrawing from most of their original sphere of influence, no longer wanting to get involved with these "poor relatives".

With their withdrawal, no other big country came in.

Then these places became chaotic. Some began to learn from the so-called democracy and freedom in the West, while others started to reverse the course of history and establish monarchy.

Obviously, none are successful.

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

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

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

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

In this case, Petrov thought it would be better to make arrangements here in advance and "make friends" with as many stronger tribes as possible.

Then organize a professional exploration team to come over to look for minerals.

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, 4,000 people are not enough, so we need to recruit 3,000 people first to prepare.

Depending on the situation later, if everything goes well, we will expand again...

The private background of Wagner Security Company has highlighted its advantages on the continent of Africa.

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

As for other mercenaries or security companies coming to "grab food", 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 in a few years or more than 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 it’s no wonder.

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

It's a pity that when faced with the situation in Da Mao's country, there is nowhere to put his talents to use.

Now that I have come to Wagner Security Company, and with the support of Wang Ye, a generous boss with strong financial resources, of course I want to do something big.

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

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

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

That is to say, it is impossible to obtain truly high-precision weapons.

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

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

…………

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

Because this was no small matter, he needed to think about it again.

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

But with the receipt of those batches of warships, the company's scale expanded again. The income from the original business alone was not enough, and Wang Ye needed to invest.

Currently, Wagner Security's revenue mainly comes from two major sources.

One is the domestic security business income, including the three gaming centers of the Kitty Eagle Group and the major oil field security businesses of the Yukos Group.

Together, these can bring in about $50 million in revenue a year.

The other piece is the mining area that Burkina Faso won last year. After it was divided with Mumu's tribe, it received over 80 million US dollars last year.

After production ramps up this year, there should be around 200 million in revenue.

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

This amount is not small, but for the large-scale Wagner Company, especially after it owns several large ships, the money is not enough to spend...
