    Lin Rui frowned and said, "You mean, you hired them originally, but they switched sides again?"

    "Yes. We hired them because they have experience in guerrilla warfare in Africa. It is obviously very suitable to use them to provide security for our soldiers and personnel in Africa. But we did not expect that they would switch sides midway and break up with Africa.  The terrorists hooked up. Since they were responsible for the security work around the base, this made it easy for them to launch a mutiny. They killed the officers and took control of the soldiers we sent." Volchenko frowned.

    "This is very common among mercenaries, especially among those disorganized groups without frowning organization and discipline. However, as a regularly operated military company, it is rare for such a thing to happen." Lin Rui smiled.

    "The key is that this group of people is not a formally operated private military company. They just borrowed the name of Wagner Private Military Company and are themselves what you call a loose group." General Yuri shook his head and said, "The United Nations established the  In December, the "International Convention Prohibiting the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries" was ratified, strictly prohibiting the use of mercenaries on the battlefield by all signatory countries. Mercenaries are not allowed to exist under the current international legal framework. These people,  Just to avoid arousing international public opinion, we named it after a private military company."

    "And you also need the existence of these people, so you acquiesce to this fact." Lin Rui said to the point.

    Yuri sighed and said, "Yes. However, at that time we also argued that it was very inaccurate to accuse the Russian government's security contractors of being mercenaries. The contractor's security personnel had legal contracts with us.  , calling them mercenaries is a derogation. I didn¡¯t expect that there would be consequences like today. Mr. Rick, our trouble is coming."

    "It is conceivable that once such a thing is made public, it will not be a glorious thing for your military." Lin Rui nodded.

    "Not only that." General Yuri shook his head and said, "This will provide an excuse for those in the military who oppose private military companies. You have to know that the military is not the only force that supports private military companies.  Some people are very opposed to the existence of private military companies.

    ¡°More people believe that private military companies are increasingly becoming an important force in the field of international security. Their use can dilute national confrontation factors and avoid adverse effects on moral aspects, so they are quite popular.  But for these armed groups, which have considerable capabilities and are difficult for the state to completely restrain, we must also take precautions while using them.  "

    "It's understandable. Especially after something like this happened." Lin Rui nodded.

    "Both we and Mr. President believe that private military companies are an effective means, but those opponents will not agree. They will seize this matter to fight back. After all, those mercenaries who defected also wore the name of Wagner Private Military Company. If  If this matter cannot be calmed down quickly and effectively, once the matter gets serious, it will have a very negative impact on our cooperation and even lead to the banning of some private military companies." General Yuri sighed.  "I believe this is an outcome that none of us want to see."

    "I understand." Lin Rui smiled slightly, "The general is warning me."

    "A kind warning and a sincere request." General Yuri said slowly, "We need your people to settle this matter. As soon as possible, and as quietly as possible. We will also try our best to play our role in the military.  Some have the effect of curbing those forces that target private military companies. But no words can be more convincing than reality.

    ¡°If only our captured soldiers could come back alive and safe instead of being put in boxes covered with Confederate flags.  It is undoubtedly better to silence the opposing voices than if we argue endlessly.  "

    "It seems that you are here with a new mission." Lin Rui frowned.

    "Yes Rick, and you must take on this mission." Yuri said bluntly.

    "Must? Is this an order? General, I thought we were relatively equal partners, not superiors and subordinates." Lin Rui frowned.

    "I know, but you have to see the actual situation clearly. If this matter is allowed to continue to ferment, Volchenko and I will be very passive as the military's parties supporting the development of private military companies. And whether private military companies can survive in Russia  If you go on, it will become more suspenseful. This mission is not only for me, but also for yourselves." Yuri looked at Lin Rui and said.

    After a moment, he continued, "We're both suffering from a crisis of confidence, Rick. I'm not ordering you, and I'm not begging you. But your future and mine may be tied together, and both of us must have enough  Rational thinking.¡±

    "Thank you, general." Lin Rui said after being silent for a while.  "I want more details.  Regarding the Wagner Private Military Company and your military assistance operations in Niger.  "

    General Yuri winked at Volchenko. Colonel Volchenko nodded, took out a stack of information from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Rui.

    "Our military assistance operations in Niger were decided last year. The content includes selling second-hand arms to Nigeria while training their personnel, focusing on joint anti-terrorism operations. To help Niger respond to the challenges of resisting terrorists.  Attacks. As you know, in response to the threat of terrorism in Niger, Diffa Province in the southeastern part of Niger and six provinces in the western region have entered a state of emergency. Extremist organizations continue to pose a great threat in Diffa Province, and neighboring countries Libya and Mali  Terrorist organizations have posed severe challenges to the security situation in the Sahel region, which covers a large area in western Niger." Volchenko explained.

    "So, where do your people mainly conduct their activities?" Lin Rui looked at the information and asked.

    "We assisted the local government forces to establish a camp in the Sahel region. The Sahel region is a 320-480 kilometers wide area south of the Sahara Desert in Africa, spanning Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, and Burkina Faso  , Niger and other countries. In recent years, the region has been plagued by poverty, armed conflicts and natural disasters. We originally planned to help the Niger government establish a long-term military outpost camp there to deal with sudden terrorist attacks and attacks by extremists.  Expansion," Volchenko replied.

    "It's a good idea, but it's too idealistic. That area may be the most chaotic place in Niger. There are many armed factions, and various conflicts emerge in endlessly. One outpost camp and hundreds of garrison troops cannot solve so many problems." Lin Rui shook his head.  "A more prudent approach would be to provide personnel training in relatively safe areas controlled by government forces, rather than there," he said.
