Yang Dongxu's memory was correct. Although the US troops arrived in Arabia, they did not directly take action. Iraq still attacked Kuwait while arguing with the United Nations and warned the outside world not to interfere.
The United States looked at it and said, "I've already sent troops and you're still so arrogant. That's not okay." So we began to gather young people from all over the world to rush to the Middle East, and the Middle East began to become more lively.
After an in-depth talk with his godfather Zhou Yiren, Yang Dongxu still couldn't think of a way to persuade Zhou Yiren to suggest that the country wait until the war is over to support Kuwait's construction in exchange for oil.
Time soon came to the end of August, just when Yang Dongxu was scratching his head every day how to convince himself to be his grandfather, something happened to the Big Brother in the north again, and Azerbaijan, one of the member states of the Soviet Union, declared independence. This caused the world, which is paying attention to the war in the Middle East, to tilt its eyes slightly towards this polar bear.
"Are you planning on him? But such a strong-armed president is a bit difficult to get along with." Yang Dongxu, who was also looking north, rubbed his chin.
After clarifying the strategic significance of oil several times, he still could not convince himself. Yang Dongxu had basically given up on the possibility of the country holding on to exchange foreign exchange for oil.
But oil must not be given up, so he once again set his sights on the big brother who is currently facing internal and external troubles. The Soviet Union not only has a large territory, but is also a super energy power.
Although the economy in later generations is not good, it is still the largest energy exporter in Europe, with abundant oil and natural gas, which makes people jealous. But getting oil from this polar bear is no easier than getting it from the Middle East, especially when thinking about the great emperor Yang Dongxu in later generations, I have a headache.
Of course, in addition to the great emperor, there is another main reason why Yang Dongxu chose Kuwait instead of Russia in later generations, and that is the geographical location of the two countries.
Russia and China are neighboring countries, and both are big countries. As the saying goes, there is no room for others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch. Even if Russia's economy is so depressed in future generations, China's technological blockade against China will still be in the position of the eldest brother and the second brother with the United States.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States focused on China, fearing the rise of a new rival. Russia's purpose is simpler. The two are too close. As China becomes stronger, the pressure on them will definitely double.
Therefore, even if Yang Dongxu obtains some oil fields now, the Russian government will never let him exploit oil so easily after the Soviet Union completely collapses.
So now taking oil fields from the Soviet Union is almost like throwing away money in vain. But now he has no better choice except the Soviet Union. The country is currently short of foreign exchange and is also a crude oil exporter.
When oil exporters became a major oil importer, the United States basically took care of the Middle East. Then they started targeting China, and it was almost impossible to get the oil fields.
Just when Yang Dongxu was planning how to get some exploitable oil fields, Ivan appeared in Yanjing again, and this time it was not only Ivan, but also Toi.
Yang Dongxu was not surprised by Ivan's arrival. After all, although Ivan was now a civil servant of the Soviet government, it was only a temporary position. His main job was to be a scholar, but Toy was different. He was an active soldier.
The way Ivan came to China was still for academic exchange, but as for who he met during the academic exchange, that was not what Yang Dongxu needed to care about. On the contrary, Toy did not follow his uncle, but came directly to Yang Dongxu.
Of course, he couldn't just come to the courtyard to visit. Instead, the two of them contacted and made an appointment at a restaurant not far from the Soviet Embassy.
"What are you..." Yang Dongxu was surprised when he saw that the originally tough Tuoyi was wearing a sling with his arms hanging around his neck. His face and expression looked like he was recovering from a serious illness and was weak.
"I was injured during the mission. I have retired." Troy glanced at his injured arm and smiled.
Yang Dongxu nodded without asking any further questions.
After sitting down, Tuoyi signaled Yang Dongxu to order something, but he didn't refuse. Anyway, both of them are carnivores. As long as it's meat, there's no taboo. As for the patient who can't eat spicy food, Tuoyi probably doesn't have the same stomach. Care about this.
"You may have to change your place over there." While eating, Troy said as if chatting with a friend.
"Are you so anxious?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
That's why Yang Dongxu didn't go to Hong Kong to see the movies that were scheduled to be released there. In addition to his godfather letting him stay in Yanjing so that he could talk easily at any time, the unrest with Big Brother in the north was also an important factor.
Especially after Du Suo talked to him on the phone, Yang Dongxu couldn't leave and had to stay in Yanjing and stare north. However, Du Suo called yesterday and said that it might take a few months to wait, but today Tuoyi came directly and told him to change places. Obviously something big had happened, otherwise Tuoyi would not have come here in person.
"The struggle above is getting more and more intense. In addition, many member states seem to be thinking about independence. The more chaotic the situation, the more the military is favored, so some things are a bit difficult to handle." Toy pondered and said.
Yang Dongxu slowed down his eating movements. Some high-level officials in the Soviet Union obviously realized what was happening and were preparing for the worst, so they began to rectify the troops. Although the Blade Security Company rents a training ground, everything looks very legal. But at this sensitive time, an armed force that is not controlled by the government will obviously become the target of attention and even attack.
"How much longer can we delay?" Yang Dongxu asked after a while.
"It is best if you can leave the current camp within half a month, or even leave the entire Soviet Union. I have retired. In times of chaos, anything can happen. If you leave now, I can make arrangements for you. If it is later... ..."
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Yang Dongxu cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
The current Blade Security Company has nearly 500 members, 80% of whom stay in the country to provide regular security work, and 20% undergo military training like special forces in Russia under the protection of Toy.
These people being trained are undoubtedly wolves, and they are all still full of wild nature. Therefore, it is impossible to transfer back to the country, otherwise even if they do not cause trouble for Yang Dongxu in the country, as time goes by and their wildness disappears, these people will be useless.
At the same time, if these people want to maintain a strong combat effectiveness, weapons and equipment are definitely indispensable. But if Yang Dongxu returns to China with weapons and equipment, he doesn't want to die. So Yang Dongxu also had a headache how to arrange this group of people.
"You can go to the Middle East or Africa. The Middle East is very messy right now and you people won't get any ideas if you throw them in. There are many similar security companies in Africa. It doesn't matter if there is one more."
"Where are the logistics supplies?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Well...I'm a little helpless." Troy smiled awkwardly.
It's easy to pack hundreds of people into any place, but logistical supplies are a big problem. After all, these people definitely need to eat, drink and relieve themselves. Without proper logistical arrangements, something will definitely happen.
"Is there any channel?" Yang Dongxu put down the knife and fork in his hand and leaned on the back of the chair.
"If you accept some employment tasks, the logistics and other things will naturally belong to the employer. And with all due respect, training alone is useless. Only in actual combat can you become a true elite."
"I understand this, otherwise why would I like veterans who have been on the battlefield so much?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
His original intention of establishing the Blade Security Company was not to be a mercenary leader, but to protect his company's overseas business in the future.
"I don't understand what you think. If you are opposed to war employment, you can definitely do security work. After all, you are a security company, right? Opening such a large security company just to protect yourself, don't you feel a little bit Wasted?"
"This..." Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling that he had been a bit over the top.
Although he had never thought of becoming a mercenary leader, it was undeniable that he kept so many veterans who had been on the battlefield and made them continue to undergo rigorous military training. In addition to allowing them to maintain the strongest combat effectiveness, Yang Dongxu also The violent factor is at work in his heart. After all, war is a man's nature.
Troy's words made him sober up. He did not allow those veterans to accept employment tasks because he was afraid of being defined as warmongers, and would be blacklisted by many countries, and might even live under surveillance.
But veterans who have been on the battlefield seem to be not only mercenaries who can kill people, but can also do security work for people, just like the bodyguards around him. Besides, Sharp Blade Security Company was originally in this business.
"Do you have channels for this?" Security work is much more difficult than being a mercenary.
After all, those who can afford bodyguards must be rich people, and what rich people care about most is their own lives. It is impossible for them to let people of unknown origin approach them and become their personal bodyguards.
Therefore, if a security company wants to get this job, it needs a very reputable guarantor. Otherwise, it can only manage its own reputation bit by bit, and finally exchange credibility for trust in order to have business.
"The Soviet Union is in chaos and now many rich people are hiring bodyguards. Blade Security Company was registered in the Soviet Union through formal channels. In some cases, it is okay to hold a gun, and at this time they are paying high prices." Toy said.
A group of violent men who are not soldiers will attract attention if they gather in a military camp, but if they break up and work as bodyguards, even if everyone knows how many people there are in the security company, they will not feel too much of a threat.
"Change it." Yang Dongxu shook his head.
Although there is no information about the large-scale chaos or even civil war after the collapse of the Soviet Union. But a superpower collapsed like this. It would be absolute nonsense to say that there was no bloodshed.
And in the chaos, the rich are undoubtedly the ones who attract the most firepower. Besides, there is no official involvement behind the rich man? Therefore, no matter how high the price is, Yang Dongxu does not want to fall into such a vortex.
"Then you can only go to the Middle East or Europe. The Middle East is very chaotic and dangerous now, but the price is definitely not low. There is not much danger in Europe, but after all, it is your first time to do the security business, so the price is low Don’t tell me, and you can only start from a young age." Troy thought for a moment and said.
"The Middle East, but we have to stagger the war zones and only accept security employment, not war employment."
"Okay, I'll get back in touch and give you an answer as soon as possible." Troy nodded.
"Is there anything else?" Yang Dongxu asked, seeing that Tuoyi was hesitant to speak after agreeing.
