Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 1401: Chapter 1100: All Agents_2

His statement is still somewhat understated; if we were only talking about conventional warfare, let alone a weak country like Georgia, even the regular forces of Russia might not be a match for Wagner!

Of course, modern warfare is multi-dimensional, requiring system-wide coordination. Relying solely on the combat effectiveness of soldiers is certainly not enough, so Shao Yigu isn’t worried about Wagner surpassing the strength of regular troops, which is obviously impossible.

With Shao Yigu’s endorsement, everyone was reassured and no longer questioned Wagner’s combat capabilities.

However, Grezlov raised another issue, which was that in conflicts like this one, Georgia had deployed a force of over 20,000. That’s not small scale at all. Even if Wagner has the strength to defeat Georgia, they would surely have to pay a hefty price. The costs of weaponry, ammunition, and compensation can only be imagined—a colossal figure!

Who is going to foot this bill...

Relying on an impoverished place like South Ossetia is clearly out of the question, so would a commercial security company like Wagner be willing to accept such a job?

This is indeed a very realistic concern that must be addressed first.

Otherwise, wouldn’t Wang Ye end up being the "sucker"?

As Grezlov said, should this conflict truly escalate, the number of casualties would likely be substantial. Even if Wagner managed to overpower Georgia, they could not avoid losses and ammunition depletion.

The expenditures from a conflict of this scale would be significant, easily amounting to "billions of US dollars."

Wang Ye, of course, could not possibly pay out of his own pocket.

Thus, upon hearing Grezlov’s concern, Wang Ye immediately nodded and responded:

"Yes, this issue must be resolved.

My opinion is that we should bear this cost. After all, if this conflict concludes successfully according to my plan, then we reap the benefits. We definitely cannot benefit without contributing.

Since we cannot deploy troops, let’s pay instead. This money can also come from the Collective Security Organization.

It can be considered as our country’s contribution to the regional security issue.

This way, other member states will have more faith in us, believing that joining this organization can indeed protect their territorial integrity.

Once faced with security issues, we, as the leading big brother, are truly willing to contribute both financially and effortfully!"

Regarding Wang Ye’s proposal, everyone nodded in agreement, finding it reasonable and appropriate.

Seeing the consensus, my father-in-law did not hesitate to make the final decision.

He spoke seriously, "Ladies and gentlemen, since we have reached a unanimous decision on how to handle this conflict, we must act swiftly to carry out the plan.

I announce that the operation will be led by the Director of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Permanent Secretary-General of the Collective Security Organization, Mikhail. Domestic military personnel are only responsible for providing assistance and intelligence support, and should not intervene in the local conflict unless the situation changes.

Other departments must fully cooperate with Mikhail’s work, with no instances of non-cooperation or acting contrary to orders allowed. Otherwise, they will not be let off lightly!"

When he referred to Wang Ye, he mentioned only those two titles and avoided mentioning other positions, clarifying that Russia would not openly intervene in the conflict this time, but instead allow Wang Ye to take action through the platform of the Collective Security Organization.

Of course, this was part of Wang Ye’s plan.

Since the force behind Georgia is not openly engaging, merely inciting Georgia the "proxy" to act, Russia will also not enter the fray directly, retaliating through "proxies" instead, with even more flexible and varied tactics, securing the "moral high ground."

Thus, to the discerning eye, this conflict is essentially a proxy war between Russia and the forces behind Georgia!

The contest is not over South Ossetia per se but involves the discourse of the entire Eastern Europe, even the fate of Russia itself...

Fortunately, Wang Ye had made preparations in advance and skillfully defused the opponent’s offensive, otherwise Russia would have suffered some loss.

...

After receiving authorization from the Kremlin, Wang Ye immediately started to work on-site, and everyone got busy under his command.

Although it was under the name of the Collective Security Organization, it was still necessary for Shao Yigu to step in and communicate and coordinate with South Ossetia.

Of course, it was much simpler with Wagner; it was just a phone call for Wang Ye.

As for why Wagner, originally supposed to be mainly active in Africa, suddenly moved to the Caucasian region, it was all part of Wang Ye’s preparedness.

A few days ago, after learning about the movements in Georgia, Wang Ye began to think about how to resolve this crisis.

After much deliberation, he felt it was better not to let Russia’s regular army take direct action, because it’s useless to think you are in the right by yourself, others can smear you with their powerful media control capabilities, and can also impose sanctions on you through various economic and financial means!

Unless you are determined to cut off economic, business, and diplomatic ties with those developed countries, you must swallow your grievances.

When you are less powerful, you can only keep a low profile and focus on development.

So he thought of resolving this "deadlock" through Wagner, as it is well known that Wagner is a commercial security company; they provide security services as long as you pay!

Why couldn’t South Ossetia become a client of Wagner...

In this way, Wagner could also hone and showcase its overall strength through this head-to-head conflict, directly defeating the regular army of a small country.

In the future, when similar regional conflicts occur, some countries will think of this approach, and Wagner’s opportunities will become more numerous, killing two birds with one stone.

So, he gave Wagner a secret order to deploy their troops and station them in the Caucasus region in advance, so they could intervene at the first sign of conflict.

...

Wang Ye methodically issued several orders.

First: Instruct Shao Yigu to immediately contact South Ossetia and have them engage Wagner for protection work. As for South Ossetia’s own army, just maintaining public order would suffice.

Second: Notify Wagner to be ready for combat immediately; the combat objective is to drive all Georgian troops out of South Ossetia but not to enter Georgian territory.

Moreover, during the battle, strive to eliminate as many enemies as possible to weaken the opponent’s military strength!

This is easy to understand; Wang Ye wanted to use this conflict to intimidate Georgia to the point of no return, so that they would never dare to have similar ideas again!

This is also a warning to the countries around and the powers behind Georgia!

In the future, no short-sighted small country should dare to act as a "proxy" and provoke conflict, because that would come at a heavy price!

In fact, Wagner only brought about 8,000 combat personnel this time, far fewer than the Georgian troops, but their equipment was far more advanced—just the newly received batch of fighter jets was enough to hang the Georgian air force out to dry!

As for armored vehicles, heavy armed helicopters, these were several times more than the Georgian troops.

Once Georgia’s air power is eliminated, the remaining ground forces are basically like lambs waiting for slaughter, without the ability to fight back!

Wang Ye was curious to see if the power behind Georgia would really dare to step in?

If they really got involved, then it would give Russia’s regular army a reason to intervene; the elites from the North Caucasus Military Region had been eager to try.

Stekhov had already sent a secret telegram to Wang Ye, wanting to lead his troops to strike Georgia hard, but Wang Ye suppressed it, advising him to stay calm...
