After listening to Xiao Weiguo's words, Liu Changhe frowned slightly, slowly lowered his head, and was instantly enveloped in a heavy atmosphere of silence.
It must be admitted that Xiao Weiguo's idea was too crazy, and even somewhat unrealistic.
After all, in today's vast and complex social environment in China, attempting to create a mercenary army is simply a pipe dream and a pipe dream!
However, since Xiao Weiguo dared to put forward this idea, he must have his own plans and considerations.
Liu Changhe knew this perfectly well—Xiao Weiguo was not the kind of person who acted rashly and without thinking.
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Changhe gently shook his head and spoke in a firm yet slightly helpless tone.
“Wei Guo, what you say is certainly not without reason, but I’m afraid I can’t help you with this matter.”
Your Uncle Liu has relied on the country for most of his life, living off the rice bowl bestowed upon him by the state.
"From both a moral and rational standpoint, I would never do anything that goes against the will of the nation."
He paused briefly at this point, as if organizing his thoughts for what to say next.
Then, he changed the subject and added.
"Furthermore, even if I truly wish to help, I am powerless to assist in such a significant matter, given my position as a bureau chief in a small county. Therefore, you should stop worrying about this matter."
After careful consideration, Liu Changhe ultimately decided to resolutely refuse to offer help to Xiao Weiguo.
Firstly, he has his own principles. As the director of the Public Security Bureau, he cannot break the law for Xiao Weiguo's sake. Secondly, what he said is true. In this matter, he really can't help much.
Xiao Weiguo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, seemingly unsurprised by the situation before him.
After all, Liu Changhe's reaction was exactly what he expected, and persuading this stubborn elder was no easy task.
However, Xiao Weiguo had already made plans in mind; he did not expect to achieve success overnight.
"Uncle Liu, please don't take it personally. I didn't mean for you to do anything difficult, much less to go against your conscience or the country's wishes! I just wanted to ask you for a small favor. As for the rest, just leave it all to me."
As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo's bright eyes were fixed on Liu Changhe, as if trying to see through his gaze to understand his inner thoughts, quietly waiting for his response.
Liu Changhe frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"If it is really just a small favor, as you say, and there is no situation that violates personal principles or national interests, then you might as well tell us about it."
But let me make this clear from the start: if it goes beyond this range, then there's no point in discussing it further.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo's face immediately broke into a bright smile, and he quickly flattered him.
"Hehe, Uncle Liu is so straightforward and generous!"
He then cleared his throat and continued, "Uncle Liu, actually, I plan to register a trading company in Russia. However, this company will not be registered in my name, but in the name of a Russian citizen."
Liu Changhe turned his gaze to him, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and slowly asked.
"You mean...we want to invest in those Russians and have them set up a trading company?"
Xiao Weiguo nodded slightly in affirmation.
"That's right, but there's more to it than meets the eye. In reality, these so-called Russians can't be considered truly pure Russians."
Upon hearing this, Liu Changhe fell into deep thought, racking his brains to figure out the deeper meaning behind Xiao Weiguo's words.
Time ticked by, but he still couldn't figure it out. His brows furrowed involuntarily, and he said impatiently.
"You brat! Stop beating around the bush and beating around the bush! Just say what you mean directly! All this roundabout talk is making my head spin!"
Faced with Liu Changhe's complaints, Xiao Weiguo chuckled, a sly look on his face, and continued.
"Alright then, Uncle Liu, I'll be frank with you. Actually, I plan to send a few people over there and, through some means and channels, change their nationality to that of Russia. Then, I'll register a trading company in their names. Now you understand, right?"
After hearing his words, Liu Changhe slowly lowered his head, his brows furrowed, and he began to fall into deep thought.
Time passed by, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze, with only the occasional slight breeze breaking the silence.
After a long while, Liu Changhe suddenly raised his head as if waking from a dream, a look of sudden realization flashing in his eyes.
He stared at Xiao Weiguo and said with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Good heavens! I finally understand. So you had such a far-reaching plan. First, you used your Russian identity to create a company, and then you used this Russian company to set up a security company, which was essentially a mercenary army! Through this roundabout method, you not only successfully avoided the strict supervision and restrictions of your own government, but also cleverly extricated yourself from the many suspicions you might face. I must say, this move was extremely brilliant!"
Only now did Liu Changhe fully understand Xiao Weiguo's true intentions.
Clearly, Xiao Weiguo wanted to make money by leveraging the power of others, a classic case of using someone else's resources to lay eggs.
After all, it is well known that Russia has a relatively tolerant attitude towards private mercenaries, such as the renowned and powerful XX K mercenary group.
Its glorious achievements during its heyday were remarkable. Even the usually arrogant American Blackwater company dared not easily compete with it.
Xiao Weiguo smiled.
"Uncle Liu is right, that's exactly what I was thinking. However, the identity documents and travel qualifications of these two people need coordination from the government, especially the public security department. That's why I'm asking you for help, Uncle Liu. So, Uncle Liu, you won't refuse such a small matter, will you?"
Hearing this, Liu Changhe finally understood that Xiao Weiguo had been talking for so long just to use his connections to send two people abroad.
Regarding this, it wasn't that he couldn't help. Given his status and position, sending two people out wouldn't be a big problem. At this moment, Xiao Weiguo added.
"Uncle Liu, don't worry, the two people I sent can remain absolutely loyal to the country. No matter what nationality they change to, they will never betray the country or the people."
Perhaps fearing that Liu Changhe might be worried, Xiao Weiguo added.
