"Maybe what you said makes sense, but now we can't change this. So there is no need to discuss it." General Yuri shook his head.

"I think it is necessary." Lin Rui slowly said, "General, I can ask, why did you choose me to take this task."

"Because of your knowledge of Africa, and because you are the most professional private military company I have ever seen. I trust you enough." General Yuri nodded.

Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Very good, so based on the above points. I think that after the matter is settled, we will take over all the business of Wagner Private Military Company in Africa. You have no opinion, right? After all, you too. Having said that, we know Africa very well, and I am a person worthy of your trust."

"Are you negotiating terms with me?" General Yuri was a little angry.

"Yes, this is the difference between us and these mercenaries, General. We like to put the conditions in the clear, and we write into the contract after they have negotiated, instead of doing little tricks behind their backs. They have no faith. Speaking of armed gangsters, and we are legitimate businessmen who honor contracts and keep promises.” Lin Rui said slowly, “So before accepting this task, I hope to get your face-to-face commitment. Apart from the task pay, After the mission is successful, we will take over all the business of Wagner Private Military Company."

"General, this..." Volchenko looked at General Yuri.

General Yuri took a deep breath and said, "Well, you are not only a businessman, but also a businessman who understands timing. I can agree to your request. But the premise is that you help me get this done as soon as possible."

Lin Rui nodded, "Very well, I also look forward to our future cooperation. Colonel Volchenko, please continue to introduce the situation about the task now."

Volchenko looked at General Yuri and continued, "Our intelligence organization pointed out that the planners of this mutiny should be the notorious Maghreb terrorist organization in the area. They bought the mercenaries, And used them to carry out this mutiny as a response to Niger’s commitment to counter-terrorism. We currently have more than 60 personnel trapped, including more than 20 non-combatants. It was confirmed that one of our major officers, Has been executed by this group of terrorists, and others have been taken hostage."

"The Maghreb organization." Lin Rui nodded, "They are a terrorist organization in Algeria and they often operate in Niger."

"According to our investigation, at the beginning of its establishment, the organization had about 300 members, and its main activities were in some jungles, mountains and border areas with complex terrain, specializing in attacking government forces and police; weapons and equipment mainly included assault rifles, landmines and home-made bombs. The source of funds is mainly through the smuggling of cars, cigarettes, drugs and criminal activities such as extortion against some business owners and civilians.

In September 2006, the organization formally formed an alliance with the notorious Al Qaeda. Since then, the organization has continuously expanded its strength, absorbed a large number of local members, and became the backbone of Al-Qaida in the Maghreb region of Northwest Africa, and has launched a series of terrorist attacks. In 2007, the organization was estimated to have more than 500 members.

After the fall of the Gaddafi regime in Libya, the Tuagre tribe armed forces who had fought together with Gaddafi's men returned to northern Mali and merged with the local *** armed forces to fight against the Malian government forces. The conflict between the armed forces in northern Mali and the government in the south led to the 12-year military coup in Mali. The Malian government forces were defeated and evacuated from the north. The northern armed forces took advantage of the coup to expand their territory again.

They run terrorist training camps in northern Niger, relying on hostage-taking, poaching of wild animals, and smuggling to make money. At present, their number has reached several thousand. According to estimates by our intelligence organization, hundreds of children aged 12 and up have joined this extremist armed army. "Volchenko nodded.

"And Niger's regular army has only 5,300 troops." General Yuri frowned. "The help they can give is quite limited, so these militants are a very difficult group of guys."

"Then where are your people detained?" Lin Rui frowned, "We have a precise goal to implement the rescue plan."

"We have delineated a small area in a small town on the border between Niger and Mali, Algeria and other countries. That place is very dangerous. The US and Niger troops were there when they patrolled the southwestern area of ​​Niger last year. The attack resulted in the death of 4 US soldiers and 2 injuries. The specific situation is still under investigation and I believe there will be results soon." Volchenko explained.

Lin Rui nodded, "Then what kind of assistance will we get in the action?"

"The Niger military has promised to fully support this operation. Although I am not sure if these people are useful, they are better than none. And they will provide corresponding equipment and transportation." Volchenko said, "As for intelligence. , We can achieve complete and timely sharing."

Lin Rui nodded, "It means we have to go to a small town full of terrorists to complete a rescue mission with extremely limited support."

"Yes. But we will let a small team of the signal flag respond after you complete the rescue." General Yuri looked at him.

Lin Rui stood up and said, "Very good, this can effectively reduce the casualties of the Russian army. But I am not surprised by this arrangement, after all, we are doing this. We took this task, and the remuneration is still the old rules. I will arrange related matters. Two people, no more."

After General Yuri and Volchenko left, Jiang An frowned, "This thing seems a bit tricky, what are you going to do?"

"What else can we do? Yuri has already made it clear. If this matter is not handled well, it will cause great resistance to our further development in Russia, and even our current situation will be difficult to maintain. After all. The development of private military companies here is different from that in countries such as Britain and the United States. In Russia, there are inherent obstacles in many aspects, and the military's attitude is not uniform.

However, if we can resolve this crisis, we can take advantage of the opportunity to take over the share that originally belonged to Wagner's private military company. Although it cannot yet become Russia's largest private military company, it is at least decisive. "Lin Yin said.

"Yes, if this is the case, it is really good for our future development. Moreover, it is time for the people we recruited in Russia to go to Africa to try. After all, really good soldiers are not trained, but in The battlefield was fumbled. Only by seeing enough blood can you become the best fighter." Jiang An nodded.
