Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Controlling the Situation_1

After Moomoo left, Petrov sat alone in the office, smoking a cigarette and mulling it over.

He lit five or six in a row, the whole office engulfed in smoke as if a fire had broken out.

He wondered if this was a good opportunity!

Wagner Security Company, according to the plan, was looking to expand heavily into the African "market".

Burkina Faso was the first foothold, as well as the company’s "headquarters" in Africa.

So, "supporting" a head of state whose interests align with their own was indeed necessary.

It would also provide more convenience for the company in the future.

Think about it, if you’re on someone else’s turf and the top leader dislikes you and makes things difficult for you, then what kind of development can there be?

Petrov had done his homework on Kombore.

He even considered establishing a connection with him, and offering benefits, in order to gain Kombore’s support and approval.

However, in the end, Petrov abandoned that plan.

Because he had no respect for Kombore, finding him unreliable!

Because of this, Petrov even pondered over whether he should relocate the security base to a place that was more convenient and promised a better future.

But today’s visit from Moomoo provided him with a new train of thought.

If Kombore was not the right fit and didn’t meet his expectations, then could he perhaps...

After pondering for a while, Petrov looked at the time and placed a call to Wang Ye.

......

Wang Ye was having lunch with Angelina when his phone started ringing.

He glanced at the caller ID, then smiled at Angelina, saying: "Please continue eating. I have to take this call. It’s Petrov from Wagner."

Angelina was familiar with Petrov and obviously knew about Wagner Company.

She smiled and nodded, signaling to Wang Ye that business comes first.

Without trying to hide it from Angelina, Wang Ye immediately answered the call.

On the other end of the line, Petrov succinctly outlined the situation and his own thoughts.

He finally asked: "Boss, this is a good opportunity. I think our company should step in and guide the development of the situation. If we miss this chance, it might be hard to encounter another."

Wang Ye furrowed his eyebrows, for Petrov’s plan was quite "ruthless"!

Here was Petrov’s plan. Wagner Security Company would support Moomoo’s tribe in participating in the "coup d’etat".

And it would be deep involvement. They would send a commander to lead, and when necessary, even put combat teams on the frontline as "mercenaries"!

Then, at the moment the coup was nearing success, the commander leading the uprising would be "assassinated" or mysteriously die on the streets!

By then, the old ruler, Kombore, would have been ousted.

And the new leadership had not been elected, and with the lack of a leader, it would be a case of too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

Whoever stands to gain the biggest piece of the "cake" and become the new successor, naturally depends on who has the strongest power and the hardest gun!

The Moomoo Tribe, which possesses five hundred elite soldiers equipped with modern weapons and backed by thousands of professional "mercenaries", would undoubtedly stand out!

If they managed to prop up Moomoo, who had a great relationship with Wagner Company, wouldn’t Wagner Company then be swimming in success in Burkina Faso?

......

There was no doubt in Wang Ye’s mind regarding the execution skills of Petrov and the Wagner team, nor did he worry about them failing to complete the task.

What he was mainly considering now was the inevitable international outcry that the incident would ignite.

Whether the attention of the Major Powers would be drawn to Wagner Security Company, which had played a key role in all this.

And then expose Wagner Company’s real strength, as well as the secrets behind it...

One must remember that Africa at this time was still within the traditional sphere of influence of several powerful European nations.

Places like France, Britain, and Spain were the ones who had once divided the entire African continent among themselves.

Although they have basically returned the power to each country now, their influence remains great and they even have military bases in some areas.

While Wagner Company is strong, it also depends on who they are being compared with.

If they really crossed paths with the regular armies of France or Britain, should they fight or not?

While pondering, he asked slowly: "Will this cause a huge impact? Have any foreign forces gotten involved so far?"

Wang Ye wanted to be clear whether this coup was the result of "internal struggles" within Burkina Faso or if some Major Powers were also involved, initiating a proxy war or so-called color revolution.

However, it seemed that this was unlikely to be a color revolution, and the United States was too lazy to get involved in Africa.

There isn’t any oil here...

And this is a military coup d’etat!

It’s a rather violent method and not very popular among the western powers, so presumably, no country is involved.

As expected, Petrov responded straightforwardly: "Based on the information we have so far, it’s just a straightforward internal coup. No other forces are involved. Of course, if we intervene, that would be considered a foreign force."

Wang Ye felt slightly relieved. He understood that in a place like Africa, a company like Wagner would find it too inefficient to adopt a gentle approach for growth.

It must take some decisive and even aggressive measures to quickly turn the situation around.

As Petrov said, this was indeed a good opportunity!

He wasn’t indecisive. After thinking it over, he made a firm decision: "Okay! Act according to the situation and try not to expose our company as much as possible. You can adopt other methods. "

As for Moomoo, you should also communicate clearly with him.

Many people, suddenly ascending to high positions, may change their attitudes.

I don’t want him to become a wolf in sheep’s clothing, turning against Wagner in the future.

He needs to understand that if Wagner can help him ascend to that position, we can also easily strip him of it!"

Petrov understood, and laughed in reply.

"I understand. You don’t have to worry, boss. After Moomoo takes office, his personal guards will all be our men.

Moreover, our company has plenty of professionals, so it won’t be difficult to gain control of a place like Burkina Faso."

After ending the call, Wang Ye shook his head lightly, feeling a bit sentimental.

Could he now, with just a few casual words, decide the fate of a country?!

When he first "came back", his biggest dream was only to secure a place among the elites. He wished to never again worry about a lack of money, to not have to struggle day after day, nor be left disadvantaged or forced to back down...
