Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Strength to Destroy a Country_1

"Sevastopol is actually a larger city than Simferopol!

There’s also an airport here, so Wang Ye and his group flew directly on a private jet, making a short trip to their destination.

Similarly, Petrov had already arranged a convoy waiting on the airport apron.

Of course, this convoy was a bit lower spec, all of them were camouflaged Land Cruisers.

Also, there was no red carpet laying this time, nor were there large groups of journalists waiting here.

There were just a bunch of big guys...

Oh, you can’t call them big guys, Petrov brought people from the security company, and these people were retired, so you can only say they were former big guys.

However, the few followers that Wang Ye brought, also led by Anton Xie Liaosha, were all robust...

After the plane parked properly, Wang Ye walked down the gangway briskly.

Petrov and others stood straight there, as soon as they saw Wang Ye descend, they saluted him neatly with a ’snap’.

Wang Ye returned a salute while walking.

"Hello, Boss!" Petrov greeted.

"Hello, everyone, let’s go to the base directly. I heard on the phone that this base is huge, I am quite curious." Wang Ye smiled.

Everyone here is their own, so naturally there’s no need to beat around the bush.

Petrov nodded, extending his hand to open the car door for Wang Ye.

Everyone got in the car, started it, left the airport, and sped off towards the base.

...

On the way, Petrov simply introduced the situation of the base to Wang Ye.

"Our security base is relatively close to the Black Sea Fleet Command, I know quite a few people there, and in case of any accidents, it’s good to have their support.

Also, Mr. Meshkov takes good care of us, through his coordination, we obtained a plot of land nearly four square kilometers.

I’ve cordoned off this land, and the area is enough to use..."

He had reported these things to Wang Ye earlier, but that was last year, after several months of intense construction, the security base has undergone drastic changes!

But taking up four square kilometers, it’s much, much larger than the base in the suburbs of Moscow!

To put it plainly, this is a gigantic security base, and the real headquarters of the Wagner Security Company!

After speeding for about half an hour, they arrived at the front gate of the security base.

A simple, large black iron gate, with a guard post on each side, and two fully armed gatekeepers standing there. Seeing the company’s convoy coming, they opened the base gate for the convoy to enter.

The periphery of the base is all open wasteland, with no forests or buildings, this is to prevent any "enemies" from lurking next to the base.

A straight main road from the base gate leads directly to the heart of the base, but there’s a forest in the middle blocking the view.

From a distant view, there are several buildings which aren’t very tall standing in the forest, which are the office and residential buildings of the base.

Through the car window, Wang Ye could already see a lot of armored cars roaring and running around on a large flat piece of land in the base, and groups of fully armed base personnel were conducting various drills.

He turned to Petrov and asked, "Are equipment and personnel all in place? Is it two thousand here?"

Petrov nodded, and answered seriously: "Yes, this base alone has two thousand active combat personnel, and this number does not include non-enlisted base logistical service personnel. If we add them all up, there are more than two and a half thousand people. In addition, the several warships we purchased are also about to be delivered, so I’ve been recruiting retired navy personnel recently, and I expect another five or six hundred people..."

It looks like before long, this base will exceed three thousand people!

Wang Ye’s first reaction was to calculate in his head how much money would be needed each year to maintain the normal operation of this base...

Originally, he didn’t plan on expanding Wagner Security Company so quickly, because there was no place to use it!

However, he was ’trapped’ by Gavriil and Shao Yigu, two old foxes. They recommended him a ’fierce fighter,’ and then sold him various kinds of weapons which were usually hard to buy.

On an impulse, Wang Ye scaled up the company to such a large scale...

One can imagine, that just relying on the business contract of the Yukos Group, the annual security fee of a thousand or so million U.S. dollars, would definitely not be enough to support such a large security company.

The main issue is his security company isn’t the same as other companies.

Not only does it need to feed so many people, it also needs to feed a ton of heavy equipment, even tens of thousands ton warships!

These BTR-80 armored cars, armed helicopters, tens of thousand tons cruisers and the like, are all money eaters.

Moreover, Wang Ye now controls the United Aviation Group, and can purchase fighter planes at a price close to cost.

You can imagine, whether it’s to indirectly ’subsidize’ the United Aviation Group, or to enhance the Wagner Security Company’s combat power, Wang Ye will purchase a batch of fighter planes.

That’s another huge expense!

He needs to figure out a way to expand Wagner Company’s business...

...

Under Petrov’s command, the convoy did not stop directly under the office building, but made a round trip around the base first.

This allowed Wang Ye to get a general understanding of the base.

Inside the base, there’s even a makeshift airport!

Of course, this airport is too rudimentary, currently it can only support helicopters taking off and landing.

But according to Petrov’s intentions, he plans to build it into a real military airport!

"Have the Mi-8 helicopters we purchased all arrived?" Wang Ye asked casually.

Petrov nodded and said, "They all have. The price was very good, we initially purchased seventy helicopters, ten are stationed at the Moscow base, ten at the Siberian base. The remaining fifty are all here. There, they are stored underneath that row of steel structures."

Truthfully speaking, after the warships we purchased are in place, just considering the armed forces at this base, it should surpass nearly half the countries in the world...

You need to understand that in many countries, they don’t even have a few serious armed helicopters.

Let alone tens of thousands of tons of cruisers...

This Wagner Security Company of Wang Ye, although it doesn’t have much fame in the world yet, undoubtedly, it already has the power to ’destroy nations’!

...

Wang Ye is actually quite interested in those steel beasts, the BTR-80 armored cars. 8X8 has a strong cross-terrain ability. In the future, a few can be used when going hunting in the Siberian wilderness.

This thing is much stronger than a Land Cruiser, it can both carry people and transport supplies.

Fittingly, there’s also a security base in Siberia, there must be BTR-80 armored cars there.

His old classmate, Zhang Xiaoxi, mentioned that she would be coming to play during the summer holidays, he can show her around at that time...
