Salenko was the boss of the Wagner Mercenaries in Central Africa. Before joining Wagner, he had been a lieutenant in the Russian Army.
Salenko had no idea how he ended up in Liberia.
When the President of Central Africa heard that P·B was up to something big in Liberia, he got as excited as if he had taken a stimulant and gathered a batch of supplies in Capital Bangui, then under the guise of escorting these supplies, dispatched the Wagner Mercenaries stationed in Bangui along with all their baggage straight to Liberia.
Salenko found it strange, as if in the blink of an eye, he seemed, perhaps, likely sold out to P·B.
The security contract that Wagner had with the Central African Government got sold off to P·B for a low price.
Two hundred tough Wagner Mercenaries, like players traded mid-season in the NBA, still had jobs, but their workplace and boss had changed.
Salenko felt deeply insulted; in fact, he wanted to leave as soon as he got off the plane.
