Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 661

Combatants plus non-combatants are calculated as [-].

The average monthly salary is [-] knives per person (the wages of support staff are relatively low), and the salary alone is [-] million a year.

The procurement of equipment and warships is not counted. These are Wang Ye's one-time investments. If the personnel do not expand in a short period of time, there is no need for large-scale procurement of equipment.

But maintenance is also a considerable expense. Maintenance of armored infantry vehicles, warships, helicopters, etc. is not cheap.

In addition, the daily food, clothing, housing and transportation of so many people, the refueling of vehicles and planes, and the consumption of ammunition for daily training, etc.

Not too much, two hundred million is estimated to be barely enough.

This is higher than the salary of personnel, but it is normal, after all, it is an armed force.

It is impossible to calculate according to the expenses of ordinary companies.

The biggest expense of an ordinary company may be personnel salaries, but security companies are different.

This is still the expenditure when there is no battle. If there is a battle or even casualties, the expenditure will rise further!
Anyway, conservatively speaking, the current Wagner Security Company has a hard expenditure of US$[-] million a year.

The income is 7000 million, the expenditure is [-] million, and the funding gap is [-] million US dollars.

Of course, this money is nothing to Wang Ye, he can easily take it out.

But the problem is, you can't let Wang Ye pay for it every year, so what's the use of raising so many people and purchasing so many weapons and equipment.

This is an issue that Petrov needs to take seriously.

So, he is also anxious.

With the size of the Wagner Company, it is impossible to make small troubles. Even if they take over the security business of a few oil fields and minerals, it will only be a small profit and will not solve a big problem.

If you want to do it, do it big!

After several months of investigation and deliberation, Petrov came up with this plan.

Continue to expand and "occupy" Africa!
Of course, this "occupation" is not a literal meaning, and the Wagner Company does not dare to make too much noise.

Otherwise, the eyes of several big countries will turn over and pay attention to the situation here, then the situation will be bad.

What he has to do is to build several security bases in several key locations in Africa.

Sign a cooperative development agreement with the local government or large tribes to develop local resources together.

Act in the name of doing business.

If there are any resources in the local area, then look for them slowly. If there are no diamond mines, then look for gold mines. If there are no gold mines, then look for metal mines, iron ore, copper mines, etc. .

If you really don't have any, then build coffee bean plantations, tobacco plantations, rubber plantations, etc., it's okay...

Anyway, human resources on the African continent are ridiculously cheap. After all, human resources are also resources!
Maybe some people will say, if we want to engage in these things, we can just talk about it in the name of an investment company. Why do we need such a powerful armed force?

Those who say this are too naive.

In this magical land of Africa, those who fight civil wars twice in three days, those who just came to power today, may be overthrown tomorrow.

In other words, the local tribes simply don't care about your legal procedures, what state authorization, and they will rob you if they say they want to rob you, and they won't try to reason with you at all.

In this case, only if you have enough force to protect yourself and deter the opponent, can you make your "business" stable.

Think about it, you develop a gold mine, and all the managers are dispatched there, wearing white shirts and tight trousers, and speaking in a gentle manner.

The local Xiaohei saw it, and it was simply a pity for God not to snatch you.

But what if your gold mine is full of burly men holding submachine guns, wearing camouflage uniforms when they come in and out, with guys with bulging waists, armored infantry vehicles come and go around a few times from time to time, and heavy machine guns on the commanding heights...

No matter how stupid Xiao Hei is, he wouldn't dare to take a step closer to the gold mine!

Therefore, this is also an investment, or the safest investment!
…………

Originally, Wagner Security Company had a funding gap of 7000 million US dollars this year. If it expanded by another [-] fighters.

Then there are at least a thousand non-combatants, that is, logistical support.

A total of 4000 people, with a salary of 5000 million US dollars a year, plus daily expenses, it will cost almost [-] million...

It is necessary to purchase corresponding weapons and equipment, not counting heavy equipment.

Just guns and ammunition, transport vehicles, etc., at least a one-time investment of 5000 million.

That means the funding gap for this year will reach [-] million US dollars!

Conservative estimate...

Of course, if Petrov's side goes well and can "find" a few gold mines and diamond mines, this funding problem can be solved.

Therefore, whether to take this step depends on what Wang Ye thinks.

…………

Wang Ye really didn't want to do such a big thing when he first set up Wagner Security Company...

Thinking about getting an armed force under your own control, some things are more convenient to do.

But now, like a snowball, in the hands of Petrov, a special operations division is almost created...

To be honest, if such a force is put into Africa, it is really gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas!
There is absolutely no power to contend with!
After Petrov took the Wagner Company and slowly expanded it, the territory he controlled became larger and stronger, and his influence became stronger and stronger.

Maybe, in the future, I will be called an invisible African emperor...

Thinking of this, Wang Ye was still a little excited.

Isn't it just one or two billion dollars, I voted for it myself!

With a swipe of his pen, he signed his name on Petrov's plan, Mikhail!

This means that the Wagner Security Company's Siberia base and Crimea base will be lively again.

Because the recruitment points are generally located in these two places.

Outside the gate of the base, there is a long queue again, and they are all the kind of strong and sturdy men, most people look at it with trepidation...

…………

After the plan was approved, Wang Ye remembered something, and he told Elena: "When you call Petrov later, ask him, why didn't you believe the thing about fighting pirates that you said last time? I can spare a few days for the next few days, and I plan to go for a ride in the sea on a warship, and it would be the best if I can meet pirates."

With a sharp weapon in his body, he will kill himself!
This sentence is indeed quite reasonable.

After the delivery of those big ships, Wang Ye always wanted to take a warship to sea and fire a few shots to test the strength of these big ships!
Of course, it is meaningless to shoot into the empty sea, and it is impossible to attack normal merchant ships and civilian ships.

Then playing pirates has become the best choice.

Not only is this thing not illegal, but it is also killing harm for the people...
