King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer Chapter 1532 - Capítulo 1532: 1244: Advisor
Capítulo 1532: Chapter 1244: Advisor
Joe Ga particularly understands Lao Du’s situation and knows exactly what a person like him would face when he retires and returns ho.
Being a colonel is not a prestigious position; once you transfer to the local governnt, you get demoted and can’t even beco the chief of a police station.
Moreover, people with ‘issues’ like this attract a lot of attention and are then sent to a place where they can be safely put aside from everyone else.
For soone who’s experienced thrills, such a life becos unbearable day by day!
Mr. Tong saw that Joe Ga and Lao Du suddenly stopped talking, and he laughed and said, “That’s why I’m dragging the old squad leader here…
Don’t be fooled, he’s my squad leader, but he’s actually a few years younger than .
Back in our Sharpshooter Company, the squad leader was quite a figure!
Later I got shot, beca a deserter, and waited many years for him to return from the front lines, but then everyone said he’d gone mad.
We don’t understand, and our voices aren’t as loud as theirs; whatever they say goes…
But now that we’re at this age, who knows how long we have left to live? If we don’t get to live the life we want, then our lives would have been for nothing.”
As Mr. Tong spoke, he looked at Joe Ga and said, “Xiao Qiao, I plan to stay here for a while longer this ti. I want the squad leader to stay too.
Let him hang around the camp; even sweeping the grounds would make him feel comfortable…
Keeping him cooped up at ho, I bet his old bones won’t last much longer!”
There’s no way Joe Ga would let soone like Lao Du sweep the grounds. This is a formidable man who’s been around the Southwest for ten years, soone on the sa level as those old monsters from the Anteater gang.
Besides, he’s a colonel, a real frontline commander who grew from the front lines!
Judging by his deanor, retiring back then was probably unpleasant, either due to being too aggressive or because he was outpaced and eliminated…
But Joe doesn’t care about that; if the old man wants to have fun, why not seize the opportunity and try…
If it doesn’t work out, letting the old man ntor the newcors can’t be bad. China’s veteran soldiers, no doubt, have top-notch energy and sense of honor!
Watching Lao Du, who was drinking in silence, Joe Ga said seriously, “What’s the problem with that?
My company is a private military contracting company, not a formal army!
If the old man wants to have so fun, I have no objections. Stay as long as you like, but let’s give it a try first…
Don’t get wrong, old man, I’m not doubting you. There’s a pilot in my company who’s almost 80 and still capable of taking down enemy jets.
Age is not the primary criterion for , but I need to know what kind of work you can handle.
Here’s the plan: we’ll finish this drink, head to the shooting range for so practice, and tomorrow morning, I’ll have a company ready for you to work with for a while, then test your skills in a competition…
If you win, you can na your terms, and I promise I won’t say a word against it!”
Lao Du, upon hearing this, looked up at Joe Ga and said, “You trust that much?”
Joe Ga tapped his temple with his finger and said, “Old man, others might not understand your instincts, but I do!
So people need excitent in their bones!
If I weren’t like this, I should have gone ho and enjoyed life long ago!
You might have missed the right ti, but starting again in your sixties isn’t too late!”
Lao Du listened, suddenly pushed his glass away, and said, “With the shooting range coming up, I won’t drink anymore; give a bowl of lamb soup.
Damn, getting old, getting old, and this still stirs up a bit!”
Joe Ga laughed and waved for three bowls of lamb soup, and the three of them quickly ate so pancakes and briskly left the tavern…
Joe Ga’s house had a shooting range. As he walked to the foot of the mountain, he rembered that he’d forgotten Kitten and his son…
Embarrassed, he ran back and, amid complaints from Grandma Yuan, took over Igor, who was covered with gifts from their eting, and led Kitten and the kids ho…
Grandma Yuan chased to the door and loudly asked, “Where are Old Tong and Lao Du?”
Already a dozen ters ahead, Joe Ga turned back and shouted, “Don’t worry, the two old n are fine!
You all enjoy yourselves; I’ll cover all expenses, and I’ll bring them back to you in a few days!”
Kitten rarely saw Joe Ga in such a mood and curiously asked, “Why are you so happy?”
Joe Ga gave a disdainful push on Tong Tong, who was eavesdropping, then laughed and said, “Old man Tong brought an impressive old guy.
Old man Tong is a sharpshooter who can hit a moving target 200 ters away without using a scope, and the other old guy has a condition similar to mine. I bet he’s even more amazing.”
Kitten listened, looked at the two elderly people standing at the mountain road’s entrance, and curiously said, “200 ters isn’t that great!”
Joe Ga scoffed and said, “You’ll see soon enough, but under the sa conditions, I definitely can’t beat him.”
It was the first ti Kitten had seen Joe Ga express humility about his marksmanship, and she linked her arm with his, saying, “Then I’ll try too…”
Joe Ga looked down at Kitten’s big belly, smacking his lips, and said, “Then find a small caliber gun to play with; the offspring of the old Joe family can adapt to gunfire.”
Kitten nodded happily because Joe Ga used to indulge Nis in the sa way…
In a good mood, Kitten walked a little faster…
When they reached the intersection, Kitten noticed that Kasu, who had been following them, was stopped by the disabled guard. She hesitated for a mont and said to Kasu, “I’ll ask them to arrange a place for you to stay. You should stay here. In a while, I’ll remind him about your situation…”
Kasu waved his hand and said, “No need, I’ll just camp nearby. Our people can’t afford to stay in hotels; I can’t be the exception…”
Joe Ga heard Kitten’s sigh. He turned his head to glance at Kasu with his pig-headed look and said in a deep voice, “You refuse the kindness offered to you and instead want to ask for more aid for you. Are you schizophrenic or just trying to play the pitiable card?”
Then Joe Ga said to the guard, Nkunku, “Arrange a place for them to stay, so people won’t think Sangha Town is discriminating against these Rohingya…”
With that, Joe Ga ignored Kasu and joined two old n to walk toward the mountain…
On the way, the curious Lao Du asked about Kasu’s background. Upon hearing she was a Rohingya wanting Boss Joe’s help to request aid from the United Nations…
The old man was a bit taken aback and then chuckled, saying, “It’s just that the governnt of that broken place, Myanmar Store, is too useless, they can’t even properly address the Rohingya issue.
A simple matter becos such a hassle that everything is in turmoil inside and out!”
Joe Ga laughed and replied, “Yeah, that’s true. That broken place, the governnt forces only bully unard civilians.
These Rohingya are no pushovers, but we can’t control these matters. I just felt sorry seeing those elderly and kids going hungry, so I agreed to help find so aid avenues.”
Lao Du gave Joe a deep look and said, “It’s the right thing to do, but we should still be careful. That area south of our hotown has beco quite notorious!”
Joe Ga nonchalantly said, “I’m easygoing, just sending so supplies ahead, and then hoping to mine so jade stones.
Once I have the support of these Rohingya, the Myanmar Store governnt will take seriously. This way, the mining in northern Myanmar Store, at least, will have a safe transport line.
That wretched place has nothing else; just those stones are worth my effort!”
Lao Du hesitated a bit and said, “Be cautious when heading to northern Myanmar Store; the situation there is quite complicated.
Since the Golden Triangle’s drugs were eliminated, people’s attitudes have changed. The locals there are actually fine, but those warlords, though appearing submissive, are actually worthless!
They dare do anything for money!”
Joe Ga paused for a mont and curiously asked, “Old man, have you been to Myanmar Store?”
Lao Du hesitated for a mont and said, “After I retired in ’98, I stayed with the Southwest police for a few years. After causing so trouble, I was transferred back to the Capital City and then ended up in the Ministry of Public Security’s logistics, reading newspapers…
Back then, the bastards in the Golden Triangle were rampant, and many narcotics officers in the Southwest died every year!
The kong River operation knocked down a few leaders, and it’s gotten slightly better over these years, though only the visible planted areas have decreased; many core locations remain.
Moreover, human greed doesn’t change; as long as the warlords are around and they want to maintain power, they’ll desperately seek money…
In that rotten place, to make big money, you have to take crooked paths…
th is replacing HLY in the Golden Triangle region, and those warlord leaders set up so scam zones, luring a group of Chinese there to call and scam dostic people.”
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga curiously looked at Lao Du and said, “Old man, weren’t you in logistics? How do you know so much?”
Old Tong laughed and said, “Your Grandpa Du was once a prominent figure in the Southwest police world. If not for so mistakes, how could he have been relegated to logistics, reading newspapers?
Listening for updates from his old unit is perfectly normal for him, right?
This old fellow used to go twice a year in earlier tis to check on the youngsters there. Later, as old comrades retired or left, he finally settled down.
See, he’s so bored at ho he doesn’t want to live!”
Joe Ga laughed heartily and said, “Well, you ca to the right place here. There’s nothing else here but plenty of excitent.
If the old man is physically fit, taking people to fight the drug dealers is not impossible!
We don’t have such rules here, and any drug dealer caught by gets executed on the spot…”
Lao Du nodded slightly and said, “Recently, a batch of people returned to China. When I t so during a reunion with comrades, their intense looks were just right!
It’s a pity I ca a bit late, otherwise mingling with those youngsters would have been thrilling!”
The more Joe Ga looked at Lao Du, the more he felt they were of the sa temper, both having the sa vice, making it easy for Joe to sense Lao Du’s inner thoughts when he spoke…
Here was an old wolf that couldn’t rest, best at fighting wars, yet ended up being pulled back for guard duty until retirent…
Whatever mistake he made, Joe Ga didn’t even need to ask to guess the rough idea; if he were sent to the Southwest narcotics division, forget making mistakes, he’d break the sky!
Seeing Lao Du’s face full of regret, Joe Ga suddenly said, “Old man, if you can lead the P.B. company to place in the competition, how about I invite you as a consultant when I head to Myanmar Store?
I have so connections with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Cri, and can get a drug enforcent badge to bring heavy weaponry into northern Myanmar Store.
The China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia joint anti-drug action center is in Chiang Mai, Thailand, also known as the ‘Fifth District’.
If the old man has acquaintances, we can ask if there’s any business for us, and let you show your might at the sa ti.”
Lao Du’s eyes widened with disbelief and said, “Is this possible?”
Joe Ga laughed and said, “Old man, not to brag, but even if you tie up all the troops in Myanmar Store, they can’t match P.B.
This ti, I want to secure a big mine for sure, and those warlords wouldn’t just obediently comply.
I can’t make a move against them, but I can definitely get the legal paperwork to go after the drug dealers…
Caught in the act, they will surely understand!
