King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer Chapter 1727: 1411: Golden Crescent

Chapter 1727: Chapter 1411: Golden Crescent

The town of ‘Zaranj’ at the westernmost point of Aqionghan…

As the town in Balochistan Province closest to Iran, it is not dominated by either Aqionghan or Iranians, but by the local Pashtuns and Balochistan people.

This was the starting point in the 1990s for the CIA to popularize poppy cultivation techniques, and it is also the core region of the Golden Crescent drug economy.

Refining heroin requires not only raw opium but also a series of chemical substances…

High-yield drought-resistant genetically modified poppy seeds, fertilizers, processing materials, these are all things Aqionghan itself lacks.

Out of the 30 million people in Aqionghan, about a tenth rely on the heroin industrial chain for their livelihood, most of whom are farrs.

However, farrs can never access the largest dividends of the industrial chain. The raw opium they cultivate and extract, when sold to warlords, can at most ensure they make a living.

Heroin refining is the key profit-making stage for tribes warlords who have mastered the ‘industrial process,’ but they can only be considered upstream sellers.

Drug dealers from all over the world, disguised as investors, take away the two most risky and high-margin sectors: ‘transportation’ and ‘wholesale,’ followed by the drug distribution terminals in various countries.

Qiao Boss wants to solve Aqionghan’s drug problem, which is practically impossible, just like he never ntions going to xico to wage war against the drug dealers there.

However, being unable to solve the drug problem does not an one cannot find a breakthrough from those drug lord warlords.

Farrs cannot be moved, but if the drug lords die, the opium planted by farrs cannot be sold, as long as the water conservancy projects and land policies can just slightly keep up, they can easily be persuaded to plant more labor-intensive grains and vegetables.

‘Drug prohibition’ is the most important banner for P·B, and Qiao Boss must achieve impressive results when he arrives.

The United Nations has a relatively rigorous standard for assessing ‘performance,’ which may be sowhat different from what most Chinese imagine…

As the ‘bottom line,’ the United Nations looks not only at whether people’s basic survival rights have been safeguarded, but not simply restrained drug prohibition.

It’s not enough to ban poppy cultivation; you must also give those farrs a livelihood.

Otherwise, the world may see fewer addicts, fewer victims in the drug circulation, but the instability caused by farrs not having enough to eat may result in more severe consequences.

Qiao Boss wants to minimize damage while establishing a strong anti-drug image for P·B, so he cannot target the easiest ‘source,’ but must hamr at those tribal warlords and middlen.

To minimize the local farrs’ resistance, Qiao Liang has already engaged in nurous negotiations and talks with the Taliban, achieving substantial progress.

As ntioned before, as long as the Taliban can understand, ‘drug prohibition’ for them is a political sword that can intimidate regional militants.

But right now, they have not completely grasped the situation…

Moreover, according to the information relayed by Qiao Liang, although the Taliban have understood the benefits and are willing to act according to the vision painted by Qiao Liang, they have shown a sowhat extre attitude, causing concern even for Qiao Liang, a Chinese person who views drugs as taboo…

Therefore, for P·B’s first action, Qiao Boss resolutely excluded the willing-to-participate Taliban ard forces…

Musa Suleiman has been in Aqionghan for a month, and for a long ti, he stayed inside the border of Pakistan, communicating with people on the drug chain through the internet and phone.

This guy is a typical hero; even when beaten by Qiao Boss in Italy and lost all his assets, and owed huge debts.

But when he returned to the Golden Crescent with $200 million in cash, this ‘Glorious Society’ big shot quickly regrouped, not only was he not eliminated by his creditors, but he regained their trust, using the $200 million to leverage a bigger drug project, preparing to orchestrate a super deal involving over 200 tons of heroin.

Earl Lavey, as the observer and liaison accompanying Musa Suleiman, was sitting in a mud-brick house at the ti, flipping through a list while watching Musa Suleiman sitting on a shabby sofa sipping red tea…

“Putting the eting place in ‘Zaranj’ is not a good idea, this is the territory of ‘Waris,’ and people are too complex, not eting our boss’s requirents.”

Musa glanced at Earl Lavey and the Golden Eagle Squad mbers stationed at the door from Ukraine, he slightly shook his head and said: “What your boss pursues is the shock of the first strike. After the Taliban bow to your boss, a show of force is not all he pursues…

Right now, Aqionghan is very chaotic internally, the Taliban are striving to unify most tribes to form a temporary governnt.

Now, whoever has the most cash in hand can gain the upper hand in Aqionghan’s political contest for the foreseeable future.”

Saying that, Musa slightly shook his head and said: “Actually, I never thought things would go so smoothly…

The sudden changes made these tribal warlords eager to get rid of their heroin inventory, and because those middlen retreated to Pakistan to observe the situation, it gave the opportunity.

Fifteen tribal warlords, 300 tons of drugs, plus over ten international drug lords waiting at the Pakistan border…

If you take them down, basically you’ve removed the backbone of the Golden Crescent drug industrial chain, making it very easy for your boss to proceed with whatever he wants next.”

Earl Lavey listened, smiling at the seemingly in-control Musa, shaking his head and saying: “You seem more concerned than my boss, which inevitably makes skeptical.

Theoretically speaking, these drug dealers must be alive for you to play a bigger role here, and thus seek a chance to survive…”

Musa listened, took a sip of red tea, then sat cross-legged on the sofa, saying with a complex expression, “I don’t want to waste ti in Aqionghan, because I can play a bigger role if I go to Europe.

Hu Lang spared my family, and if he wants to die, I will accept it.

But he underestimated the scale of the ‘Glorious Society’, and also underestimated the power represented by the organizations that make up the ‘Glorious Society’.

I owe many people inside the ‘Glorious Society’ a lot of money; as long as these people are not completely dead, my family can never be fully at peace, even with Hu Lang’s promise.

I must let these people know that I am still alive, and then one by one, I’ll clean them up.

This is a dangerous and complex job, so I will have lots of ti…”

As he said this, Musa looked at Earl Lavey, smiling as he said, “We might need to spend a long ti together…”

Earl Lavey looked at Musa, who seed like a puritan, and shook his head with resistance, saying, “NO, I won’t stay by your side forever.

I ca here because I am very familiar with the Middle East’s situation, and my goal is to take over the business here after the boss leaves.”

Musa was stunned for a mont, then suddenly grinned, saying, “You’re worried that PB’s anti-drug efforts here are too successful, making it impossible for your abilities to be fully demonstrated, so you’re behaving unhappily…”

As he said this, Musa looked at the calmly nodding Earl Lavey and shook his head incredulously, saying, “I’ve heard of Hu Lang’s habits with intelligence directors, but I really didn’t expect that you, as a forr CIA regional director, would have such unprofessional thoughts…

What’s the benefit of being the regional head in Aqionghan?

Aside from drug trafficking, there’s almost no place to make money here…

Even if Hu Lang is willing to delegate power, if it’s a place where you can’t make money, what can you gain?”

Earl Lavey shook his head with a smile, saying, “Everything you see from now is the biggest gain…

No need to disguise, no need to convince myself to do dirty work…

I can openly express my ambitions and do those things I dared not think of in the past.”

As he said this, Earl Lavey looked at the indifferent Musa and sneered, saying, “You will never understand…

All those who earn big money through cri are the sa; all business in their eyes is rely transactions, and all they care about is profit.

The cost within the cri chain is too low for you all!

I’ve seen many drug dealers, and you have a common point; you all claim to be forced into it…

In reality, I know very well that within the legal frawork, your abilities might not even match a street vendor.

You can’t handle things within rules, yet are complacent, thinking that your ability is superior after getting rich through drug trafficking, believing you can dictate others’ fate.

You might not know what my surna ‘Lavey’ represents, the Lavey family rose as real underground tycoons after World War II, once controlled more than a thousand hospitals in Europe and Arica, and earned money annually that you, as a drug lord, can’t even imagine.

Such a family was completely uprooted by my boss by challenging the ‘rules’…

Only the ignorant would dream of living happily outside the rules, truly capable people have always been challenging and creating rules within the frawork…

You are the ignorant one, and my boss is the one who challenges and creates rules!

My boss established new orders in many places, and within this ‘new order’ lies wealth beyond your imagination.”

As he said this, Earl Lavey pointed at dozens of black suitcases piled up in the room and sneered, saying, “People like you only want those green papers, and the power converted from those green papers…

Hence, you can never be a match for our boss because everyone is pursuing different things.”

After hearing this, Musa suddenly sighed long and said, “You keep trying to hit my confidence.

Why?

Is there sothing I’m not doing right?”

Earl Lavey sneered and nodded, saying, “You’ve made the scene too big…

Do you really think our boss can’t see what you’re up to?”
