Chapter 1998: Negotiation field

Lin Rui looked at these two people calmly, nodded and said, "It's a good idea.??"
"In fact, we have been collecting this information internally. In the 1990s, one out of every 50 soldiers in the United States came from a private military company. Now this ratio has become 1o:1. In the case of the war in Afghanistan and other individuals In military conflicts, this ratio reached 1:1. By 2008, 69% of the troops stationed in Afghanistan were mercenaries from the Pentagon.
But looking back at us, although there are already some small-scale semi-legal private military companies in Russia, more foreign companies have Russian participation, but they are not subject to Russian law. Without a legal basis, this industry cannot truly develop.
The activities of private military companies are governed by the two provisions of the Russian Federation’s Criminal Law, "Mercenary Activities" and "Formation of Illegal Armed Forces." If there is no broad room for weapons and live ammunition training, the strength of such institutions will be extremely limited. The best example is currently. At the beginning of the Syrian war, some Russian semi-legal private military companies sent people there to fight for government forces, but they did not have the right to legally own weapons and these military missions ended in failure. The Federal Security Agency therefore These companies were violently criticized, and their founders were also imprisoned in accordance with the provisions of the criminal law on "employment activities".
From this point of view, not only is there no legal basis for the development of this industry in Russia at the moment, there are still people trying to eliminate it, which has to be said to be an act of destruction. In addition, another important problem brought about by the absence of a legal private military company in Russia is the brain drain. As a military power, some top military talents are forced to wander outside of Russian law if someone realizes that their ability can make more money and do more. Including the two around you. "Fat Fulong looked at Sergey and Yelena, somewhat helplessly.
"So what do you want?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"The upper echelons want to make a big move to repeal the relevant bills to completely legalize private military companies in Russia. But we need to prove that private military companies can bring a safer environment to Russia. Some people's concerns are justified. Although it is difficult to admit , But a professional army composed of contracted soldiers and officers is also a special kind of mercenary. For them, they join the army to earn a living, not just because they are threatened by sanctions for evading military service. In this case, how much do they have? Motivation? Will it be rebellious? All issues must be considered.
The main reason for opposing private military companies is the fear of oligarchs having armed forces. People are worried that private military companies are being used to solve internal problems in certain countries, which will undoubtedly lead to very bad situations. It is also our biggest resistance at present. "Fatty Fulong frowned.
Jiang Jian smiled, "I interrupt, in fact, the world's largest private military company has more than 100,000 employees and its headquarters is in London. But so far, it has not waged war in the UK. Like the threat of nuclear war, if you think that criticism alone can keep Russia out of the way, then those who say such things are at least naive. If this kind of private military company is not legalized, Russia will lose the ability to establish private-state partnerships. Important opportunity. And this kind of opportunity will not last long. You are already behind."
Fatty Furlong shook his head and said, "What you don't know is that recently we have drafted a bill similar to the current private security law designed to legalize private military companies in Russia. With the help of local councils, we successfully The bill was submitted to the parliament for deliberation. In the context of the intensified neighbourhood crisis, we also drafted and promulgated a private military company law that must be passed in Russia, and received support from experts in the military and security fields.
These measures have energized the discussion on this topic. Subsequently, several national Duma parliamentarians expressed that they would formulate and submit their own related bills. Therefore, private military companies are likely to appear in Russia in the near future. The purpose of our meeting with you is to leverage your company's influence in the industry. Promote this result. "
"Just say what we need to do?" Lin Rui said calmly, "You know I like to be straightforward."
"We need you to publicly announce the registration of a company in Russia and help us perform a convincing mission. Use this as a starting point to attract other military companies to enter. As a reward, we will provide you with certain priorities for military outsourcing projects. Right. To ensure that you have an advantage in the competition with other companies." Fatty Fulong said solemnly.
"The conditions are good, but the Black Island military company is registered in Africa and its headquarters is also in Africa. This will not change for the time being." Lin Rui shook his head, "We can set up an office in Russia, but the whole move to Russia is not Possibly. To be honest, just as you don’t trust us, I don’t trust you enough. As for you, we can see if you have a task entrusted to us, but it depends on the company’s decision. I don’t. Pack the tickets." Lin Rui smiled.
"Are you not tempted by such a big market?" Colonel Fulong asked somewhat surprised.
"Mr. Colonel, our Black Island Military Company is not the largest company in the industry, nor is it the most powerful company in the industry. But as long as you mention it, everyone will think that we are still a first-tier company in the industry. The main reason is that we Almost once monopolized the African market, and chose to give up the monopoly advantage. We exchanged our temporary benefits for the reputation and the leading power of the mercenary alliance." Lin Rui smiled slightly, "It is good to be able to rely on the big tree of Russia. But we pay more attention to our own development."
"What do you mean?" Boljeka frowned.
"Nothing. What he meant is that once we reach such in-depth cooperation with you, it will severely limit our own development. Because you will set many restrictions on us, as the Americans did before. It is a pity that we even more I hope to maintain a high degree of independence. We can work for you, but we will never become your subordinates." Jiang An replied.
"Is there a difference?" Fat Fulong asked strangely.
"Yes, as an employer, you only need to spend money and tell us what to do, and we are responsible for the rest. You give the money, specify the goal, and we complete it. As for how to complete it, it has nothing to do with you. As your subordinates, it is different. You will intervene in everything that shouldn't. We will never allow this to happen. This is the high degree of independence I call." Lin Rui said calmly.
