King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer Chapter 1724: 1408: The Turmoil Begins

Chapter 1724: Chapter 1408: The Turmoil Begins

This Rashid, who left an extrely deep impression on Joe Ga, apart from having very bright eyes, overall looked like a local who had been in the Aqionghan mountains for many years.

But in fact, he was a ‘prince’ of the Northern Alliance, the son of a tribal leader.

Most of the Northern Alliance are of Tajik ethnicity, so his native language was heavily accented localized Tajik.

Yet, he was also an overseas student…

In the early cooperation between the Northern Alliance and Arica, tribal chiefs with a bit of status were always willing to send their children abroad.

Rashid was one of them, attending Columbia University in New York on a full scholarship.

This wasn’t particularly surprising, but what shocked Joe Ga was that this Rashid was diagnosed with ‘low-risk depression’…

Theoretically speaking, ‘low-risk depression’ is a ntal illness, which for ordinary people, can lead to a dangerous disease causing schizophrenia.

However, for so geniuses, ‘low-risk depression’ is like opening a door to a new world.

Geniuses with ‘low-risk depression’ primarily exhibit a completely self-centered focus and an exceptionally strong ability to analyze things in their youth.

In many films and TV shows, these geniuses always sneer at the ordinary people around them, thinking they are childish. This is not sothing imagined; it is a real reaction of geniuses with low-risk depression.

In reality, though, geniuses with low-risk depression, don’t even want to express ‘disdain’ in their youth because they’re too busy…

They only care about what they are interested in and are imrsed in thought.

When ordinary people see beans, they think about how to cook them better, while they think about how beans are ford, what elents are contained within, and what environnt is needed for their growth…

A single bean can lead them to thousands of questions!

Self-consciousness, creativity in thinking, and spatial combinatorial ability expand trendously…

Ordinary patients might succumb to the massive physiological and psychological pressures at this stage, leading to ntal collapse or even schizophrenia.

However, geniuses will entirely discard external influences at this stage, constructing a vast ntal world incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Such people are generally considered arrogant freaks, but in reality, these people are extrely sensitive inside. Simultaneously, because they can perceive things ordinary people cannot, their external characteristics often contradict their inner selves.

Due to excessive rational thinking and self-protective consciousness, cognitive dissonance might occur…

For instance, knowing that eating ice cream is a pleasurable and harmless thing, yet what they outwardly show is indifference or disapproval.

Small matters are simply a nuisance, but big ones can be quite troubleso!

This is what people often refer to as the genius syndro, and patients with this condition generally don’t beco villains because making money is probably the easiest thing in their eyes. Gaining benefits and pleasure through wrongdoing is considered unnecessary energy waste.

There was once a TV series called ‘Prison Break,’ and the protagonist, Scofield, had this syndro.

Joe Ga once specifically looked up information, wanting to know what exactly makes this illness so formidable!

So psychiatrists have compiled a sowhat mystical theory that ordinary people’s ability to suppress the subconscious is 7 to 10 tis that of genius syndro sufferers.

Research shows that basically all creators, such as artists and inventors, have relatively low levels of subconscious suppression.

Subconscious suppression ability is like the ‘gene lock’ in novels; ordinary people’s suppression is strong because instinct tells them that opening the subconscious will lead to collapse, whereas once opened, geniuses will awaken certain abilities.

This Rashid has the ‘genius syndro,’ and judging by the two handwritten books of law with Aqionghan characteristics, he has invested his talent in building a legal frawork…

What’s most interesting is that such geniuses are generally atheists.

Because those who wrote religious classics back then, limited by the tis, definitely did not have as extensive knowledge, and were perhaps not even as smart as these geniuses.

This sparked intense interest in Joe Ga…

Not because he wanted to study Rashid’s laws, but because he felt the laws compiled by soone like Rashid might indeed suit Kandahar’s current needs.

Because P·B is Libra, one side of the scales is the Taliban and the other is the international community.

For Joe Ga, it is most beneficial to maintain a limited balance, and Rashid could fully beco his chip to balance external pressures.

A talented judge with an Arican education background, a group of pro-European and Arican Aqionghan civilians, a team that can counterbalance the extre views of the Taliban…

In an ideal state, these three combined can easily leverage international aid for Joe Ga to implent his Kandahar plan.

As for the specifics of Rashid’s laws, Joe Ga doesn’t even want to look…

It’s not that he looks down on Rashid, but he thinks Rashid is too naive…

A country’s constitution, as the foundation of the nation, isn’t sothing a single genius can comprehend?

Within the large frawork of modern civilization, using their own traditions as the core, to consider, borrow, and integrate foreign laws.

If the ‘Genius Disease’ is really that powerful, these things can be settled.

But in reality, aside from those laws with universal values, such as laws about murder repaynt and debt settlent…

Other laws concerning organizational structure, power transitions, human rights, property rights, etc., cannot be established without many people’s lengthy discussions.

Because these are fundantally political issues!

Moreover, the Taliban is a religiously led organization, and challenging religious laws regarded as canonical is a life-threatening affair.

The appearance of this Rashid, rather than being the Taliban’s effort to break through blockade, is more of a gesture of goodwill to the outside world and a trial internally.

They tacitly consented to things previously discussed with Joe, which is why they pushed Rashid, whom they considered ‘too advanced’, to Kandahar.

Rashid is from the Northern Alliance. If he does well, and Kandahar’s functions are realized, it benefits all of Aqionghan.

But if he does anything that goes against ancestral ways leading to internal strife, the Taliban can completely deny responsibility without enduring much pressure.

Rashid is full of enthusiasm, but the truth, bluntly put, is still politics!

At this mont, Joe couldn’t help but feel so ‘sympathy’ for Rashid.

Because no matter if he does well or poorly, his ultimate fate will not be good.

If he fails, the international community will criticize him, and he becos the scapegoat.

If he succeeds, the international community will praise him, but the conservative forces within the Taliban will target him.

Looking at the genius with a serious expression before him, Joe Ga hesitated for a mont and said gently, “I will have an office prepared for you in Kandahar. The people you bring need to be divided into two teams and take turns receiving our basic training.

At minimum, they need a change of uniform and weapons; enforcing the law with AKs and RPGs is absurd.”

With that, Joe Ga patted the heavy ‘book’ in his hands and said earnestly, “I personally believe in your ability and integrity, but there are so things I can’t decide myself; they require others to confirm.

I will contact the United Nations, and soon law and order experts will co to review and train you.

Brother, I roughly understand your situation…

I don’t understand the law, but as long as your statutes support my advocacy for human rights, won’s rights, and anti-drug policies, I will fully support your work in Kandahar.”

Rashid probably didn’t expect Joe to beco so agreeable suddenly, and he paused before saying, “We will issue a notice in a week, and what you said will be implented in it…”

Joe Ga listened, then waved his hand and said with a smile, “Issuing a notice is not enough, that’s just a ans for the Taliban to undermine the governnt army’s morale. If the notice’s contents are not properly implented, your credibility will take another hit.

I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I think that aside from Kandahar, conditions in other places probably aren’t optimistic.”

Seeing Rashid, who seed a bit confused, Joe Ga smiled and said, “Geniuses are all partial learners; you’re not cut out for politics, so even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand.

Just handle the tasks before you, and it will be the best help to the Taliban!”

As Joe spoke, there was suddenly so commotion among the distant NATO soldiers watching, and then these soldiers, apparently keen to know sothing, started returning to their stations in groups…

Just as Joe was about to inquire what was happening, ‘Three Yellow Chickens’ suddenly approached him and whispered, “Boss, Arica’s evacuation has caused chaos in Kabul…

NATO personnel are in our command room, and they want you to issue a statent…”

“What do you an?”

Joe Ga frowned and thought for a few seconds, then turned to look at Rashid, who also had a slight frown. After giving him a hug, he said, ‘I’m rooting for you,’ then had soone else take over reception of these Taliban security personnel and walked into the building himself…

He had not yet reached the second-floor command room when he heard a series of exclamations from within…

Joe Ga strode in and then saw a rather shocking scene on the broadcast’s large screen…

A massive crowd surged onto the runway, chasing a C-17 taking off…

It was more like a docuntary zombie film; those people, desperate, charged for the landing gear, clinging to any part of the plane’s exterior they could for leverage, desperately trying to follow the United States Army away.

Then, when that C-17 took off, those people, like ripe fruit, fell hundreds of ters from the sky onto the airport runway, smashing into pieces like rotten fruit oozing sauce.

“FUCK, these people have gone mad…”

As Joe Ga marveled, the British Major General in Kandahar walked up to him and said solemnly, “Hu Lang, it’s ti for P.B. to take action.

NATO and Arican forces are under massive pressure, and Aqionghan civilians are starting to block soldiers outside wanting to get near Kabul.

Currently, so soldiers being evacuated are turning toward the direction of Cambul, lacking supplies and cover; you need to arrange for the air force to assist them.

At the sa ti, there’s an even more important task: evacuations from Kabul are obstructed, so you need to establish a safe corridor early, giving those desperate people a route out; otherwise, things we all don’t wish to see will happen.”
