As soon as they walked in, they were immediately taken to a very elegant and secluded room, in which the dining table had been set, and two men sitting on the sand got up and greeted them.

"They were very punctual, so it's a pleasure to meet you. One of them, a middle-aged man who was a little tall and thin, but his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, stretched out his hand to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui also stretched out his hand and nodded, "Fortunately." ”

The other person was a fat man who was a little middle-aged, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I really didn't expect that the person who came on behalf of the silver wolf this time would be so young." Moreover, I have not heard this Russian with a Chinese accent for a long time. I always thought that speaking Russian with a Chinese accent would have a very special and elegant tone. ”

The tall and thin middle-aged man nodded, "This is Colonel Fulong of the intelligence department." I'm Borjeka from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We are very much looking forward to this meeting, and although Mr. Michel was not able to come in person, we are still looking forward to it. It's such a coincidence, and it just so happens that this Colonel Fulong is a China expert, and I think you'll have a lot to talk about. ”

"Yes, I like the Chinese. The middle-aged fat man said with a smile, "I have many Chinese friends, and China has always been our best neighbor and strategic partner of Russia." We were like old friends. ”

"Since you've said so, how about returning Donnu Lianghai and Vladivostok to your old friends?" Lin Rui smiled.

Colonel Fulong's smile was a little stiff, and Lin Rui said that these were all Chinese territories that had been invaded by Russia in history, in order to mock this so-called old friend.

"This ...... Obviously not what we're going to talk about today. "Colonel Fulong was a little embarrassed.

Lin Rui shook his head with a smile, "That's so right, so we still have to go back to the point." In business, there is no need to have personal feelings with me, and there is no need to mention any old friends. In fact, I didn't know you just a minute ago, and even now, we're not friends. I don't think you know too much about the concept of a private military company, we are a commercial company. So we have partners and competitors, but we don't have friends, and we don't need friends.

Because everything is a transaction. When we put our lives on the table, we are doomed to have no friends again. We're here to hear your advice about our exhibition, not to make friends. Because for business, friends like you are no more reliable than the girls you can meet in a bar for a little money. ”

The middle-aged fat Colonel Fulong and the tall and thin middle-aged man were stunned for a while, looking at Lin Rui in a daze.

"I am not saying this to the two of you, but to show our attitude. Only talk about business, not personal relations. Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Okay, now we can start talking." ”

Bordeka, a middle-aged man with eyes like falcons, said in a deep voice, "Mr. Rick, please pay attention to your attitude, we ......"

The fat man beside him, Fulong, was obviously more composed than him, and raised his hand slightly to prevent him from continuing. Instead, he smiled and said to Lin Rui, "Of course." Actually, I appreciate your straightforward personality. ”

He paused, "In fact, private military companies like yours have proven their efficiency more than once, but many people in Russia have not seen this clearly. Against the backdrop of increasingly serious national security problems in Russia, Russia should consider setting up its own legitimate private military company. We are here to discuss the feasibility of such a scenario. ”

"On the basis of professional contracts, non-state military institutions that provide military security services have long existed, and even the creation of the ancient Rus' principality can be attributed to the attraction of such military attendants as the Varangians. Today, the existence of such institutions has become especially urgent in the context of increasingly mobile combat operations, higher and more scientific and technological content, and a changing political situation.

At the same time, more and more countries, including Russia, have had to cut their conscripts. At the same time, the use of contract soldiers is subject to a number of political and legal constraints. Therefore, it is not surprising that private military companies have become an active economic sector. ”

"We understand, and even the upper echelons have recognized the urgency. But we still face some pressure. "You know that after the war in Chechnya, there are still some of us who are apprehensive about the actions of mercenaries. ”

Lin Rui nodded, "It's understandable, but a military company is not the same as a mercenary." If private security companies help the police, then private military companies help the military. This does not necessarily mean that they need to be fully armed and go directly to the war. Such companies also provide a variety of services such as military logistics, consulting, training, etc.

I have a record here that 29% of the personnel and 49% of the budget expenditure of manpower in the US intelligence services belong to private military companies. The size of this market is about $1ooo billion per year. By the way, your country's military spending is growing significantly. Taking into account Russia's share of almost 27% in the international arms market, the export of deep products, represented by private military services, may form a considerable scale.

In this regard, there will be enormous unrealized gains, not to mention missed diplomatic opportunities and fundamental issues of national security. That's why we're here this time. Lin Rui reached out and took the document handed to him by Kian and put it on the table.

"Looks like you're coming prepared. The fat man Fulong picked up the information and flipped through it, then turned to Bordeka, "You can also explain the situation to them." ”

Borteka nodded, "The issue of national security is particularly urgent right now, as Russia has been directly engaged with Western private military companies more than once in the Georgian war. Hundreds of instructors from private military companies serve in Tbilisi. This largely became the reason for the heavy military losses suffered by the Russian side in the conflict. Western private military companies are also actively operating in the south-east of Ukraine, which more or less compensates for the lack of combat strength of the Ukrainian regular army.

So although we still have various opinions about such private military institutions, and even blamed them at one time. But the principle of military reciprocity dictates that if one side has a decisive weapon, you must possess it, no matter how harmful it may be, or you will not be able to have an independent future.

And in the 21st century, private military companies have become an increasingly important force in the field of security, and denying this reality could have irreparable consequences for Russia's defense. That's why we decided to show private military companies on Russian soil. ”
