Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 383 Wages in arrears
After Lin Ke went out, Sean picked up his phone and dialed a number.

beep...beep...

"Hey Sean, long time no see?"

The church's unique magnetic and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone. I have to say, if you only listen to the voice, the church is still very handsome.

"Church, I need you to help me check someone."

Sean was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He was always direct and concise in his communications with the church.

"Okay, I knew you called because you had some information that I needed to check. Come on, tell me who he is?"

Church's tone seemed a little helpless, but it was true. Ever since he met Sean, whenever the other party called him, it must be because they needed his help to find something, maybe intelligence, maybe a place or a person. Of course, he did not object, because the other party asked him for help, which showed that he was still useful in this regard at least. If the other party no longer needed him in terms of intelligence, then he would really be just an unnecessary liaison to Sean. The most frightening thing for people is that they have no use.

"His name is Toregrev, he is a weapons expert, 51 years old, and he used to work at...Tupolev Design Bureau. I need to know why he quit Tupolev Design Bureau."

Sean told the other party all the information about Torregrev.

"Tupolev Design Bureau?"

Church chewed on the name carefully, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "It seems that you have picked up a treasure. Well, you don't dare to use it now because you are afraid that it will bring trouble later?"

What the church said was exactly what Sean was worried about. For now, if Sean had no choice, he could offend any country in the world, but he could not offend the Russian polar bear, because his source of troops was the Cossacks, and the Cossacks had a very deep connection with the Taxi Emperor. If this Torreglev was really poached by the Hezhesde headhunting company through some improper means, then no matter how greedy Sean was, he had to give up. For a group integrating ARMS (weapons) and PMC, a stable source of troops is absolutely the top priority. It is the guarantee of the source of force for the entire group.

If the entire RFG Group is a ship, then WPS (White Dove Security) is the escort ship. If the escort ship fails, the main ship will be exposed to enemy fire.

"Yes, you are right, Church. That's why I came to you. I need to know the reason why he resigned. Well, if someone used improper means to force him to resign, I would not use it even if he is precious to me. You know, there are too many people who want to kill me."

Sean shrugged helplessly, he was not saying this randomly, there were simply too many people in the world who wanted to kill him to count, the composition of these people was quite complicated, some were simply jealous, some were in competition with the same peers, and some were driven by interests. There were people he knew among these people, but there must be more people he didn't know. His head was still on the bounty list on the dark web, and now the bounty was more than five million US dollars. His head was very valuable, and it was not impossible that one day his employees would suddenly be short of money and cut off his head and exchange it for US dollars.

"Okay, I see. I'll get back to you shortly."

The church agreed immediately. This kind of thing was not difficult for him, as easy as breathing. Although he had not worked at the CIA for a long time and many of the previous resources were no longer available, it did not mean that his intelligence capabilities would be much worse than before. The Illuminati still had a lot of resources in the intelligence system, coupled with some of the resources he had accumulated in the past, his intelligence capabilities were not weakened, and in some aspects were even enhanced. In the past, his intelligence was strong in the Middle East, but other places were actually a bit out of reach because he was responsible for work in the Middle East in the CIA.

"Thank you, I hope it's quicker."

Sean nodded, and after they finished talking, the two chatted for a few minutes and then hung up the phone.

Next, it depends on the results of the church's investigation. If Torreglev really resigned for some reason, he would sign the person to RFG Group without hesitation. This person can definitely become a mainstay of RFG Group's weapons research and development laboratory, especially in the research and development and design of aircraft.

It turned out that the church was very efficient. In just one day, the church called back, and the first words the church said made Sean happy.

"Hey, Sean, I have good news for you."

This was the first sentence Church said after the call was connected. As for what the good news was, Sean understood it as soon as he heard it. There was hope for Torregrev!
"Really? I'm glad to hear that what you said is good news, Church, you are my lucky star!"

The other party was so fast and efficient, and brought good news, so it was natural for Sean not to be stingy with his praise.

"Hmm, thank you for thinking so. But you can use Torreglev. He left his job normally because the Tupolev Design Bureau owed him wages. Russia has a tacit attitude towards his departure. In other words, you can accept him without worry. Of course, Russia may still send people to hunt him down, so you need to do a good job of security, otherwise he may not be able to work for you."

The church said it very clearly. To put it bluntly, Russia knew that he was owed wages and was neutral about his resignation and employment in an overseas company. In other words, it absolutely did not support him, but it was not completely opposed. It was likely that someone would be sent to symbolically block him, but if they really did not have the ability to protect him, they would really kill him. It is an old tradition for Russia to hunt down top talents who betrayed the country. For example, during the period when the former Soviet Union collapsed, a large number of talents were lost from various design bureaus. The most famous one was Grochenko, the former Soviet Union's top fighter expert, senior aircraft engine engineer, and the main person in charge of the third-generation heavy fighter Su-27. At that time, the United States spent a lot of effort to dig him over.

At the beginning, because the Soviet economy had not completely collapsed, top research talents like him were treated first-classly. He lived in a mansion provided by the state, and most of his living expenses were paid by the state. He had no worries about food and clothing and lived a comfortable life. Therefore, even if the people from the United States offered sky-high salaries, they still hit a wall with him. But the United States did not give up. The advanced performance of the Su-27 made the United States a little uneasy, and if they wanted to obtain relevant data on the Su-27, Grochenko was the best choice.

Finally, they waited for the best opportunity. The Soviet Union completely collapsed and disintegrated, the domestic economy collapsed, and Russia, as the successor state, was burdened with huge foreign debts, and the domestic economy could not develop. Naturally, the treatment of personnel also plummeted. In that era, being able to eat enough and not go hungry and being able to receive a meager salary was already very good. Such a big change in life naturally also seriously affected Grochenko. Although the mansion was not taken back, no one reimbursed his living expenses, and he could only barely fill his stomach with food. Faced with such a big gap, Grochenko finally couldn't resist the sugar-coated bullets of the Beautiful Country.

The United States promised huge salary, luxury cars and mansions, and the highest level of security protection. This time Grochenko did not refuse. He decisively agreed to the conditions of the United States and handed over the relevant information of the Su-27 to the Americans. Due to the frequent contacts with the Americans, it naturally aroused the suspicion of the Taxi Emperor. The Emperor, who came from the KGB, was not an easy person to deal with. The Emperor immediately sent people to investigate him, but Grochenko was not stupid. He knew that he had too much contact with the Americans, and the Taxi Emperor would definitely be suspicious. If he had not agreed, the other party would naturally be fine, but now he had done the thing, and this matter would definitely not be concealed from the Emperor's investigation, so after handing the information to the Americans, he went directly to the United States under the name of inspection, and never returned. By the time the Taxi Emperor reacted, he had already arrived on the land of the United States.

, not only equipped with a mansion and a specially made bulletproof car, but also a top bodyguard team of 24 people. Every day, when he goes to and from get off work, there are 8 bodyguards guarding him, and no unrelated people are allowed to get close to him. This kind of treatment can be said to be quite important, not much worse than that of the president. But even so, Grochenko was still not saved. Six years after he defected, one day in 1999, he was attacked on his way to work. A sudden motorcyclist fired crazily at the bulletproof car he was riding in. The special armor-piercing bullets were not blocked by the bulletproof car. Grochenko was shot into a sieve on the spot and died miserably. The eight bodyguards responsible for guarding him could not respond even if they reacted immediately. By the time they stopped, the assassination was already over, and the two motorcyclists drove away. The whole process from the appearance of the motorcyclists to the shooting and then leaving the scene took no more than ten seconds, and the actual process of killing Grochenko took no more than three seconds.

I have to say that this approach is very much in line with the fighting nation; it is their style, and it also shows the tough and ruthless nature of the Taxi King's methods.

So what the church said about the other party being likely to carry out a symbolic hunt is probably not that simple. This only means that the other party will not be as decisive as they treated Grochenko, and strictly speaking, it cannot be said that Toregrev's joining Sean's RFG Group is treason. He did not bring relevant research materials or the like. However, Sean will still pay attention to this matter. At most, he will assign him a team of more than 20 bodyguards. He doesn't believe that if he can't be saved even like this, then it can only be said that it is destined to be so.

Since the church has said that the polar bear tacitly approved this matter, there shouldn't be a situation where the fight continues until one person dies.

"Okay, I understand. I will take this matter seriously."

Sean nodded and spoke to the church on the other end of the phone.

"Just keep it in mind. I believe you can arrange everything."

The church nodded and said nothing more. He had said everything he needed to say and helped in every way he could. There was no point in saying anything else.

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

"Tupolev Design Bureau..."

Sean was a little puzzled as to why the Tupolev Design Bureau had a problem of wage arrears. If possible, he really wanted to poach a few more talents. Talents who could work in the laboratory of a weapons design bureau like the Tupolev Design Bureau, even if they were not the top ones, were definitely high-end talents in the entire industry and were definitely worth his attention. However, reason still restrained his crazy idea.

After all, one Torregrev is enough to cause him trouble. If he digs out a few more, he will be put on Russia's blacklist even if he doesn't want to. It's hard to say what the final outcome will be.

Of course, he can only think about this kind of thing. He is not crazy yet, but he doesn't want to die.

……

After Kevin Kelly received the confirmed news from Sean, he couldn't help but clap his hands and smile. He knew that the list of information he prepared would definitely be recognized by the other party, especially the king bomb Torregrev in it. He had experience working in one of the world's top design bureaus. He didn't believe that the other party would not be tempted. Of course, the premise is that the other party can afford the corresponding salary. In Kevin's opinion, Sean can definitely afford it. He can be the CEO of this top international headhunting company. He is not a rookie. Naturally, he will understand the client's financial strength, and then provide a suitable list of information for the other party to select and review. If Sean did not have strong strength to afford the salary of such top talents, then Torregrev would not appear in the information that Sean saw.

He had done relevant investigations and understanding in advance. The RFG Group is financially strong and powerful. It not only has extraordinary influence in Mali, Africa, but also has a certain influence in the Middle East. Although the business it does is not glorious, who cares?
What the world cares about is whether you have enough financial resources and power, not whether you are honest and kind enough. Those are not plus points. Only the US dollar is the truth. Well, of course, it can also be the euro, the pound and so on.

And most importantly, he knew that RFG Group had recently participated in Venezuela's arms bidding and won an order worth nearly 100 million US dollars. This number was really enviable.

"It seems... this year's performance is due to RFG Group. This is really my lucky star..."

Kevin licked his lips. As long as all the guys mentioned in the information he sent were hired, no, not all of them, not even half of them were needed. As long as one third of them were successfully hired by RFG Group, the salary paid by their Haizhesde headhunting company would be enough to feed themselves this year.
