Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 482: Chapter 482 Power Department_1

Wang Ye didn’t know how Misha had negotiated with his father over the phone, but upon his return, he promptly agreed to Petrov’s condition.

The only request was to send troops as soon as possible, as the tribe was barely holding on!

"It seems Burkina Faso doesn’t have a port, our ship can only dock at the port in Cote d’Ivoire, and from there we can enter your territory. Alas, this timing is too rushed, with a bit more time, I could arrange for a large transport plane, which would make it much easier to deploy troops." Petrov sighed.

Misha nodded, "That’s not a problem, our tribe is adjacent to Cote d’Ivoire, and we have good relations with some tribes there. I’ll arrange this when I go back tomorrow."

"Alright, I will first send a few people back with you to sign a formal cooperation agreement and also observe the situation. Meanwhile, I will immediately organize a team here and prepare to leave!" Petrov said decisively.

And just like that, everything was settled.

......

The news reached Moscow. Upon hearing it, Wang Ye managed only a faint smile.

The Wagner Company was indeed powerful, but hastily entering the Middle East still seemed rather risky. After all, there was a complex mix of forces and the waters were too deep there.

Wang Ye worried Petrov might not be able to handle it!

The African continent was better, the inhabitants were "simple and honest", the land was large and abundant, and there were barely any significant forces present.

Petrov’s additional condition was quite good. They could first establish their African base using this opportunity. Then, Wagner would become an local villain in Africa.

They could directly station a force there and look for various opportunities.

The staff from the Crimea base could be sent to the African base in shifts. It would be a good training opportunity!

Wang Ye had considered visiting Burkina Faso. Whether it was in this life or his previous one, he had never been to Africa.

The mysterious African plains were said to have beautiful scenery.

However, this was just a passing thought. After all his identity was different now. He was a dignitary, and he couldn’t possibly lead the fight even if he knew there was no danger.

The wise do not stand under a collapsing wall!

It would be better to wait for the war to end and the African security base to be established before finding time to visit.

After resolving Misha’s matter, along with the upcoming business deal and obtaining half the shares of the diamond mine, Wagner Security Company would have another source of funding.

Even though they might not be able to be self-sufficient, at least Wang Ye wouldn’t need to invest too much more.

In the end, Wagner Security Company had become a "weapon of violence", and also a money-guzzling beast.

Such a huge force couldn’t possibly be maintained for free; they had to make use of it!

Accepting overseas business, going beyond national borders, these had been set as goals since Petrov’s arrival.

Now, they were already moving towards these goals...

......

"Misha, when are you free these next few days? You called me last time to arrange a dinner with Korokolli from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was away on business these last few days, and just returned to Moscow yesterday. I’ve already talked to him, and he’s interested in meeting you. Find some time to sit down for dinner."

This was a call from Shao Yigu, the Director of the Security Agency, to Wang Ye.

Now, Wang Ye’s network was expanding rapidly. In the Duma, he had befriended the Speaker, Vice Speaker, and various members of the Economic Committee.

In the government, he had gotten to know Shao Yigu of the Security Agency through Gavriil’s contacts. Now, through Shao Yigu’s connections, he was about to meet the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

Networking is nurtured step by step. With Wang Ye’s high starting point, the people he could meet were indeed big shots!

The term ’Internal Affairs Ministry’ might not seem "upscale" as it sounds like a logistics department.

But that’s definitely a misunderstanding.

In Russia, there are four major power departments: The Ministry of Defense, the Security Agency, the Ministry of Interior Affairs, and the Imperial Guard.

The Ministry of Defense manages approximately 2 million land and naval forces, Sky Soldiers, strategic rocket troops, and airborne troops. In essence, it is Russia’s main national defense force.

The Security Agency is responsible for counter-espionage work and battling large-scale organized crime activities while also protecting national border security. The agency employs about 30,000 people and is an inheritor of organizations from the Former Soviet Era like Cheka, the Ministry of the Interior People’s Committee and Kergbo.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of maintaining domestic social security, combating large-scale group crimes, combating terrorists, and employs roughly 200,000 people. Essentially, it is the equivalent of a domestic Ministry of Public Security.

The Imperial Guard General Administration manages around 300,000 Imperial Guard troops and is primarily responsible for domestic anti-terrorism operations, protecting national key departments and facilities, and the security of high-level national leaders.

Among the four major power departments, Wang Ye had already met the head of one and was about to meet the head of a second.

As for the other two, there currently seem to be no connections...

...

When Vladimir received Wang Ye’s call, he was alone, idly sitting in his office.

Last time, he had offended the Director due to choosing sides!

Although he had established good relations with the Deputy Director’s faction, that hadn’t stopped the fact that the Director still had the final say in the department.

A few days ago, taking advantage of a work arrangement adjustment, Vladimir got assigned to a less demanding position, which was a covert demotion.

Even the Deputy Director who wanted to speak up for him couldn’t do anything. After all, there were only so many positions in the department, and everyone wanted those with real power.

However, Vladimir did not look down in dejection, but continued to be merry every day, seemingly unperturbed by it.

Others didn’t know why he was so optimistic, but Vladimir knew clearly.

He had clung onto a promising "lifeboat"!

A temporary downfall didn’t mean anything because Member Mikhail had promised to organize a dinner for him, where he would be introduced to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

Since Member Mikhail was confident enough to say such words, it meant he was confident about giving him a boost.

At that time, even if the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives me some favor for the sake of Member Mikhail, he will surely want to promote me!

Maybe I have a chance to directly get promoted to the position of Deputy Director!

...

"Vladimir, tomorrow evening at six, Turandot Restaurant. I’ve invited Shao Yigu and Korokolli for dinner. You should come as well."

On the phone, Wang Ye said this directly, without even asking if Vladimir had any other arrangements for tomorrow night.

Clearly, even if he had an enormous matter, he would have to be punctual for the dinner!

After all, such an opportunity might be hard to come by for most people in the Police System in a lifetime!

And now, Wang Ye had arranged it for Vladimir!
