Capítulo 1908: Chapter 1585: Scapegoat

Joe Ga was taken aback by Eric’s tone. He asked sowhat puzzledly, “What happened?”

Eric said heavily, “Boss, Arica has simultaneously issued a warning to both Russia and Europe, indicating that the Nord Stream Pipeline might be attacked.”

Joe Ga frowned and said, “That sounds like their style, but why are you so nervous?

Does this have anything to do with us?”

Eric paused, and with so concern said, “The Deadly Strike Group once signed an agreent with the Departnt of Defense to station a team in Sweden to train soldiers. Those people are now operating around the Baltic Sea…”

Joe Ga was suddenly startled and said, “So, those people were sent to Sweden before I repurchased the Deadly Strike Group shares…

But after Monica completed the acquisition, she didn’t discover anything during the inspection?”

Eric said solemnly, “I had soone review that contract. Strictly speaking, those people were dispatched at the sa ti as your acquisition of the Deadly Strike Group.

We knew nothing about it!

Boss, sothing is amiss. If an attack happens and those people are caught…”

Joe Ga said with a headache, “What should I do?

Arica just issued an attack warning, and I co forward to say the people in Sweden have nothing to do with ?

How is that any different from hiding silver in the ground?”

Eric’s tone was heavy as he said, “I’m trying to get soone from the Pentagon Brotherhood to contact that team. Once we locate them, we can…”

Joe Ga didn’t respond but finally understood why he had felt so uneasy during his recent visit to Arica.

At the ti, his feeling was like most people’s, as he was puzzled and unusually anxious by the White House and other departnts’ seemingly schizophrenic actions.

Because, in his view, the opponent’s tricks not only revealed their intentions but fundantally couldn’t harm P·B.

Now he finally understood, their trump card was the Nord Stream Pipeline!

By collaborating with the Deadly Strike Group to send people to Sweden, as soon as Nord Stream is bombed, if one of them steps forward to confess, Arica could use it as an excuse to demand comprehensive sanctions against P·B. Even if Boss Joe has high prestige and can persuade so people to believe him, it wouldn’t help.

Because even temporarily halting or freezing P·B’s financial operations pending investigation would cause fatal damage to P·B.

Once P·B Bank and other related funds are under investigation, Boss Joe’s entire financial capital would be consud.

If the investigation drags on, even if in the end, it’s proven that P·B is innocent, those security zones driven by P·B under the UN’s na would definitely change hands.

This is a typical political conspiracy. The facts don’t matter at all. Just entangle P·B, and leverage the bureaucratic system to dismantle P·B’s legitimacy.

According to their plot, once Nord Stream is bombed, the entire Europe would face a choice between siding with Arica or P·B?

That’s too easy a choice!

Even if everyone knows Arica’s behind it, they would still have to pin the bla on P·B.

The motive is ready-made too, P·B attacked Nord Stream to expand the diterranean Energy Company’s market share and reap huge profits…

Even Xiao Ma wouldn’t dare to say anything!

Because Arica is the head of NATO, and these European NATO allies aren’t prepared for escalating war and fully confronting Russia.

Even Russia can’t openly claim that Arica did it, because their dostic situation is currently a ss, and their warti economy hasn’t shown high efficiency yet; they also need ti.

At this ti, ‘sacrificing P·B for the greater good’ would beco politically correct!

In such tis, it would be good enough if European countries don’t add insult to injury…

This kind of tactic could only be wielded by Arica, the self-proclaid number one nation with extraterritorial jurisdiction. If it were any other country, even England, Boss Joe could get so friends to counter it, but once Arica found an excuse to fully launch, Joe Ga would stand no chance.

This isn’t a battlefield contest but political maneuvering, a classic tactic used by those old-tirs.

The truth or falsehood doesn’t matter!

P·B has many friends, but also many enemies. Once they create a high-profile issue, they could draw collective action from those worldwide envious of P·B’s profits to carve it up.

Once Joe Ga fights back, he’s proven guilty; if he doesn’t fight back, even if eventually the matter fizzles out, P·B will never return to its forr glory.

Aside from signing the contract with the Deadly Strike Group and sending people to Sweden, the entire operation was a standard Arican overt sche…

Your reputation is sared, then they leverage the investigation to freeze your financial capital, forcing your business to bankrupt or surrender.

A giant like France’s Alstom fell and was dismbered in just this way!

Finally realizing the previous situation, Joe Ga instructed Eric to find those sent to Sweden…

Then he sat down in the garden corridor, watching a group of children frolicking on the grass, and sighed deeply…

Only when deeply entangled did Joe Ga realize how truly difficult it was!

Without a national entity, P·B, established on the basis of realistic rules, faces deliberate targeting by a group of rule-makers, making it really difficult to break through.

Even those old n were undermining P·B, rely seizing the opportunity to sever the energy ties between Europe and Russia, a contract between the Pentagon and the Deadly Strike Group could lead P·B to eternal doom.

And even if everyone knows you are innocent, no one dares to stand up and speak for you.

If those people succeed, P·B will have no choice but to abandon all peripheral interests and retreat to Africa.

But then, how long can P·B, with its financial chain cut, hold out?

Currently, P·B is too massive!

In this situation, for Joe Ga to preserve P·B’s interests, he either has to sell Africa’s interests to England for protection or go all in with Russia…

Selling Africa’s interests is definitely not an option in Boss Joe’s selection, so there’s only Russia!

Only this way can P·B maintain its influence in the Middle East, providing space for the old mother to diate, and then preserving key strategic room for maneuver.

This situation makes Joe Ga very depressed; it doesn’t match his positioning for P·B, and even more, it violates what he promised those soldiers…

While Joe Ga was struggling, Karman, noticing his unusual mood, ca over and sat down beside him…

“Boss, what’s happened?”

Joe Ga was montarily shocked and said bitterly, “Soone wants to take away our ‘honor’…”

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at Karman’s cold old face and briefly explained the problem he was facing…

After listening, old Karman frowned and said, “Is that all?”

Joe Ga bitterly smiled and shook his head, saying, “Isn’t that enough?

The Pentagon has a contract in hand. Once sothing happens to Nord Stream, soone will link P·B to the Nord Stream problems.

Old pal, this isn’t a matter where having a few friends in the Pentagon or killing a few people can avoid change…

It’s a trap. Listing the Arican branch company was the worst move I’ve ever made!

If I were a businessman, I should start transferring assets now, waiting for a chance to make a coback in the future.

But can I abandon those who believe in , who follow ?

They are the core assets of P·B!”

After hearing this, old Karman glanced at Igor, who was being pinned to the ground by a few kids and getting beaten up, and a smile appeared on his old face as he said, “Boss, I actually didn’t quite understand what you were saying, but I think it’s not a bad thing for P·B to reclaim its power in Africa…

There, you are the King!”

Joe Ga bitterly smiled and shook his head, saying, “Buddy, without external financial support, Sangha Town would never have reached this point.

Our power is too strong, and it’s not apparent when dispersed across the world, but once retracted fully, France will imdiately turn against us.

I’m not afraid of them, but if France rallies the West African countries to go to war with us, is that a situation you’d want to see?

Africa is terrible, but past African wars were limited in scale. If we engage in war with people around us, the situation will be completely different…

To protect core interests, France has to keep driving those West African countries to send troops to die. Only by creating enough hatred and conflict can they prevent the West African countries from getting out of control.

Old buddy, the things we’ve done in the past were all attempts to make Africa better, not worse…”

Old Karman, after hearing this, frowned and looked at Joe Ga, saying, “So you think at critical tis, you may endure their persecution yourself?

Could those people plant the bla on you so easily?

Would people believe them so easily?”

Joe Ga helplessly shook his head and said, “The reality is, the ‘people’ you ntioned, are irrelevant in such a high-level political struggle…”

It’s the first ti old Karman saw Joe Ga show such pessimism…

The old fellow sat beside Joe Ga, slightly hunched, his eyes dimly looking at the ground, muttering sothing in an unknown language…

At this mont, Karman resembled a weary old hyena, dark and gloomy, yet exuding an intimidating wildness.

Lively Briella, having just gained an advantage over Igor, scread as Igor chased her near Boss Joe and the others…

The little girl was grabbed by her ankle in a flying tackle from Igor, falling awkwardly to the ground. Just as she was about to seek help from Boss Joe, she saw Karman, exuding a terrifying aura, and instinctively let out a scream…

Covered in grass blades, Igor noticed the situation too. He jumped up and rushed to Karman, grabbing the old man’s arm, loudly shouting, “Dragon Gecko, you’re angry. Are you going to war, take with you…”
