Lin Rui looked at the two people calmly and nodded, "It's a good idea.??"

"In fact, we have been collecting this information internally. In the 9o years of the last century, 1 out of every 5o servicemen in the United States came from a private military company, and now this ratio has become 1o: 1. In individual military conflicts, such as the war in Afghanistan, the ratio is 1:1. By 2oo8, 69% of the troops stationed in Afghanistan were Pentagon mercenaries.

But on the other hand, while there are already some small, semi-legal private military companies in Russia, there are many more foreign companies that are not governed by Russian law. Without a legal basis, the industry cannot really develop.

The activities of private military companies are governed by the provisions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Mercenary activities" and "Formation of illegal armed forces", and the strength of such institutions will be extremely limited if there is no wide scope for the possession of weapons and training with live ammunition. The FSB has criticized the companies at the beginning of the war in Syria, where some of Russia's semi-legal private military companies sent people to fight for government forces, but their lack of legal possession of weapons led to the failure of these military missions, and the FSB criticized them and imprisoned their founders under the criminal law of "mercenary activities".

In this way, not only is there no legal basis for this industry in Russia at the moment, but there are also people who are trying to eradicate it, which has to be said to be an act of sabotage. In addition, another important problem posed by the absence of legal private military companies in Russia is the brain drain. As a military power, some of the top military talent has been forced to wander outside of Russian law if anyone realizes that they are capable of making more money and doing bigger things. Including the two around you. The fat man Fulong looked at Sergey and Yelena, and said helplessly.

"So what do you want?" Lin Rui looked at him.

"The top wants to make a big move, repeal the relevant bill, and make private military companies completely legal in Russia. But we need to prove that private military companies can bring a safer environment to Russia. Some people's concerns are also justified. Although it is difficult to admit, the professional army, which consists of contract soldiers and officers, is also a special kind of mercenary army, for whom they serve in the army to earn a living, and not only because they are threatened with sanctions for evading military service. In this case, how much motivation they have, and whether they will defect, are all questions that must be considered.

The main argument against private military companies was the fear that the oligarchs would be armed. There are fears that private military companies are being used to solve the internal problems of certain countries, which will undoubtedly lead to a very bad situation. It's also our biggest resistance at the moment. The fat man Fulong frowned.

Shogishi smiled, "Let me interrupt, in fact, the largest private military company in the world, with more than 100,000 employees, is headquartered in London. But so far, it has not waged war in Britain. Like the threat of nuclear war, it would be at least naïve to think that criticism alone will keep Russia out of the matter. If such private military companies are not legalized, Russia will lose an important opportunity to establish a private-state partnership. And this opportunity will not last long, you are already behind. ”

Fat Fulong shook his head and said, "What you don't know is that we have recently drafted a bill aimed at legalizing private military companies in Russia, similar to the current private security law. With the help of local councils, we were able to successfully bring the bill to Parliament for consideration. Against the backdrop of the intensifying crisis in the neighborhood, we have also drafted and disseminated a ****** on the need to adopt a law on private military companies in Russia, with the support of experts in the military and security fields.

These initiatives have enlivened the discussion on this topic, and a number of State Duma groups have since indicated that they will develop and submit their own bills. Therefore, it is likely that private military companies will appear in Russia in the near future. And the purpose of our meeting with you is to leverage your company's influence in the industry. Drive this outcome. ”

"Tell me what you need us to do?" Lin Rui said calmly, "You know I like to get straight to the point. ”

"We need you to publicly announce the registration of a company in Russia and help us carry out a convincing mission. Use this as a starting point to attract other military companies to enter. In return, we will provide you with certain priorities for military outsourcing projects. to ensure that you are in an advantageous position in competition with other companies. The fat man Fulong said in a deep voice.

"The conditions are good, but the Black Island Military Company is registered in Africa, and its headquarters are also in Africa. Nothing will change for the time being. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "We can set up an office in Russia, but it is impossible to move to Russia in its entirety." To tell you the truth, while you don't trust us, I don't trust you enough. As for what you said about giving us a task, we can also take a look, but whether we accept it or not depends on the company's decision, and I don't pack a ticket. Lin Rui smiled.

"Are you not tempted by such a large market?" said Colonel Fulong, with some surprise.

"Mr. Colonel, our Black Island Military Company is not the largest company in the industry, nor is it the most wealthy company in the industry. But as long as you mention it, everyone will think that we are still a first-line company in the industry. The main reason for this is that we almost monopolized the African market for a time, and then chose to give up the monopoly advantage, and we traded temporary benefits for reputation and the dominant power of the mercenary alliance. Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Although it is good to be able to support the big tree of Russia, we pay more attention to our own exhibition." ”

"What do you mean?" said Borgeka with a frown.

"It's nothing, he means that once we reach such a deep cooperation with you, it will severely limit our own exhibition. Because you're going to put a lot of restrictions on us, that's what the Americans did before. Unfortunately, we prefer to maintain a high level of independence. We can work for you, but we will never become your men. Shogishi replied.

"Does it make a difference?" said the fat man Fulong, a little strangely.

"Yes, as an employer, you just have to spend money and tell us what to do, and we'll take care of the rest. You give money, set goals, and we do it, and it has nothing to do with you. As your subordinates, you will meddle in everything you shouldn't. We will never allow this to happen. That's what I mean by a high degree of independence. Lin Rui said calmly.
