Chapter 243: Toy Comes to Beijing
Yang Dongxu's memory is not wrong, although the US troops arrived in Arabia, they did not directly take action, and Iraq still attacked Kuwait while arguing with the United Nations, and warned the outside world not to interfere.
As soon as the United States looks, I have sent troops, and you are still hanging like this, this is not good. So he began to gather the little brothers from all directions to rush to the Middle East, and the Middle East began to become more lively.
After having a deep talk with his godfather Zhou Yiren, Yang Dongxu still couldn't think of a way to persuade Zhou Yiren to suggest that the country wait for the end of the war to support the construction of Kuwait in exchange for oil.
The time soon came to the end of August, and when Yang Dongxu was scratching his head every day how to convince himself to be a godfather, Big Brother in the north had an accident again, and Azerbaijan, one of the member states of the Soviet Union, declared independence. This has tilted the eyes of the world concerned about the war in the Middle East slightly towards this polar bear.
"Do you want to make up your mind about him? But what kind of iron-fisted president is a bit difficult to get along with. Yang Dongxu, who also looked at the north, rubbed his chin.
After making it clear several times about the strategic significance of oil, he still couldn't convince himself to be a grandfather, and Yang Dongxu was basically dead set on the possibility of the country holding the foreign exchange for oil.
But oil certainly can't give up, so he once again set his sights on Big Brother, who is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. The USSR could not help but have a large territory and an energy superpower.
In later generations, although the economy was not good, he was still the largest energy exporter in Europe, and people were jealous of the abundance of oil and natural gas. But it is not easier to get oil from the hands of this polar bear than from the Middle East, especially when I think of the emperor Yang Dongxu in the future, I have a headache.
Of course, in addition to that emperor, there is another point that is the main reason why Yang Dongxu chose Kuwait instead of later Russia, and that is the geographical location of the two countries.
Russia and China are neighbors, and both are great powers. As the saying goes, it is better to sleep on the side of the couch, and in later generations, even if the Russian economy is so depressed, the technological blockade of China is still in the position of the eldest brother and second brother with the United States.
The collapse of the Soviet Union and the United States set its sights on China, fearing the rise of a new adversary. And Russia's purpose is simpler, the two are too close, China is strong, and they will definitely be under double pressure.
Therefore, even if Yang Dongxu gets some oil fields now, the Russian government will never let him exploit oil so easily after the complete collapse of the Soviet Union.
So now taking oil fields from the USSR is about the same as throwing money at nothing. But now he has no better choice than the Soviet Union, which is currently short of foreign exchange and is also an exporter of crude oil.
When oil exports became a big oil importer, the Middle East was basically cleaned up by the United States. Then they started targeting China, and it was almost impossible to get oil fields.
Just when Yang Dongxu was calculating how to get some oil fields that could be exploited, Ivan appeared in Yanjing again, and this time it was not only Ivan, but also Toy.
Yang Dongxu was not surprised by Ivan's arrival, after all, although Ivan is now a civil servant of the Soviet government, it is only a temporary post, and his main job is a scholar, but Toy is different, this is an active soldier.
Ivan's way of coming to China is still academic exchanges, but as for who he met for academic exchanges, it is not something that Yang Dongxu needs to care about, but Toy did not follow his uncle, but came directly to Yang Dongxu.
Of course, he couldn't just come to visit the big quadrangle in a daze, but the two of them contacted about a restaurant not far from the Soviet embassy.
"...... are you" Seeing that Toy, who was originally tough, actually wore a suspender with his arm hanging around his neck, his face and expression looked like he was weak from a serious illness, and Yang Dongxu was surprised.
"I was injured in the line of duty, and I have retired. Toy glanced at his injured arm and smiled.
Yang Dongxu nodded and didn't ask anything deeply.
After sitting down, Toy motioned to Yang Dongxu to order food, and he didn't refuse, anyway, both of them are carnivores, as long as it's meat, there is nothing taboo, as for the patient can't eat spicy food or anything, it is estimated that Toy's stomach doesn't care about this thing.
"You might have to change places over there. As he ate, Toy spoke as if he were chatting with a friend.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
It's just that Hong Kong movies have been arranged to be released, and Yang Dongxu didn't go to Hong Kong to see it, in addition to his godfather letting him stay in Yanjing so that he can talk at any time, the big brother in the north is not peaceful is also one of the important factors.
Especially after Du Suo talked to him on the phone, Yang Dongxu couldn't leave anymore and needed to stay in Yanjing and stare at the north. But yesterday Du Suo called and said that maybe he could delay it for a few months, but today Toy came directly to tell him to change places, obviously something big happened, otherwise Toy would not have come over in person.
"The struggle above is getting more and more intense, and many member states seem to be thinking about independence, and the more chaotic it is, the more the army is favored, so some things are a little difficult to handle. Toy said with a deep sigh.
Yang Dongxu slowed down the action of eating, and some high-ranking Soviet officials obviously realized what was preparing for the worst, so they began to reorganize the troops. Although the Blade Security Company is a training ground rented out for money, everything seems to be very legitimate. But at this sensitive time, an armed force that is not controlled by the government will obviously become the target of attention and even attack.
"How long can it be delayed?" Yang Dongxu asked after half a sound.
"It's best if you can leave your current camp and even the entire Soviet Union within half a month. I'm retired, anything can happen in times of chaos, I can still arrange for you to go now, and ...... later"
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Yang Dongxu cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
At present, there are nearly 500 members of the Blade Security Company, of which 80% stay in China to provide regular security work, and 20% are under the protection of Toy to conduct military training like special forces in Russia.
The people who trained them were undoubtedly wolves, and they were all wild now. Therefore, it is impossible to transfer back to China, otherwise even if they don't cause trouble for Yang Dongxu in China, after a long time, the wildness will be gone, and these people will be wasted.
At the same time, if these people want to maintain strong combat effectiveness, then weapons and equipment must be indispensable. But if he returns to China with weapons and equipment, Yang Dongxu doesn't want to die. So how to arrange this group of people, Yang Dongxu also has a bit of a headache.
"You can go to the Middle East, or go to Africa, the Middle East is very messy right now, and it won't cause any idea at all if you throw those people into it, there are many similar security companies in Africa now, and it doesn't matter if there is one more. ”
"What about logistics supplies?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"This ...... I'm a little powerless. Toy smiled awkwardly.
It's easy for hundreds of people to go anywhere, but logistical supply is a big problem. After all, these people definitely need to eat, drink, and Lazar, and without proper logistics arrangements, something will definitely happen.
"Is there any channel?" Yang Dongxu put down the knife and fork in his hand and leaned back on the chair.
"If you take on some employment assignments, the logistics are naturally the employer's. And IMHO training alone is useless, real combat can play a real elite. ”
"I understand this, otherwise why would I like veterans who have been on the battlefield so much. Yang Dongxu frowned.
The original intention of establishing the Blade Security Company was not to be a mercenary leader, but to prepare to escort his company's overseas business in the future.
"I don't understand what you think, but if you are rejecting war merchandise, you can do security work. After all, you're a security company, don't you? Don't you feel a bit wasteful to open such a big security company just to protect yourself?"
"This ......" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he had been a little bit of a bull before.
Although he didn't want to be a mercenary leader, it is undeniable that he left so many veterans who had been on the battlefield to come down, and let them continue to undergo harsh military training, in addition to allowing them to maintain their strongest combat effectiveness, but also because of the violent factor in Yang Dongxu's heart, after all, war is a man's nature.
Toy's words sobered him up that he didn't let those veterans accept the hiring assignment because he was afraid of being defined as warmongers, so he would be blacklisted by many countries, and maybe even live under surveillance.
But the veteran who has been on the battlefield seems to be not only a mercenary who can kill people, but also a security officer, just like these bodyguards around him. Besides, Blade Security was originally in this business.
"Do you have access to this?" Security is much more difficult than being a mercenary.
After all, those who can afford to hire bodyguards must be rich people, and rich people care most about their own lives. It is impossible for them to let unknown people come close to them and become personal bodyguards.
Therefore, a security company needs a very reputable guarantor if it wants to eat this bowl of rice, otherwise it can only manage its own reputation little by little, and finally exchange its reputation for trust in order to have a business.
"The Soviet Union is very chaotic, now many rich people are hiring bodyguards, and the Blade Security Company is registered in the Soviet Union through formal channels, and in some cases it is okay to hold a gun, and at this time they are selling high prices. Toy said.
A group of violent people who are not soldiers will gather in the barracks to be noticed, but if they are dispersed to be bodyguards, even if everyone knows how many people there are in this security company, they will not feel too threatened.
"Another one. Yang Dongxu shook his head.
Although there is no information in memory of the large-scale chaos after the collapse of the USSR, and even the emergence of a civil war. But a superpower collapsed like this, and it would be absolutely to say that there was no bloodshed.
And in the chaos, the rich man is undoubtedly the most attractive existence, and there is no official involvement behind the rich man, so no matter how high the price is, Yang Dongxu does not want to fall into such a whirlpool.
"That has to go to the Middle East, or Europe. The Middle East is in chaos right now, and the danger is great, but the price is certainly not low. There isn't much danger in Europe, but you're in the security business for the first time, so the price is low, and you can only start small. Toy thought for a moment and said.
"The Middle East, but we have to stagger the war zone, and only accept security hires, not war hires. ”
"Okay, I'll get back in touch and get back to you as soon as possible. Thoy nodded.
"Is there anything else?" Seeing that Toy wanted to speak again after agreeing, Yang Dongxu asked.
