King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer Chapter 423 423: 408

Joe Ga watched Dorian with a face full of excitent as he greeted Nis and others, then followed Dorian to a house in Ndele Town.

Upon getting out of the car and seeing the P·B soldiers salute him with straightened waists, Joe Ga awkwardly returned the salute before entering the heavily guarded house.

As soon as he entered, he saw 'dic Officer Bird' wearing boxing gloves and punching a sandbag with an energy that looked hard to contain, causing the sandbag to sway back and forth.

Joe Ga walked over to steady the sandbag, wanting to chat with 'dic Officer Bird' about topics related to Harlotte. However, as soon as he touched the sandbag, he heard soone inside making a terrifying moan...

"Shit!"

Joe Ga, surprised, let go of his hand and said in disbelief, "What is inside this?"

'dic Officer Bird' slightly shook his head and said, "It's one of the guys who tortured years ago.

Thompson helped find so stuff. 'Elephant' and 'Rhino' captured this guy and brought him back."

As 'dic Officer Bird' supported the sandbag, he looked at Joe Ga and said, "Sir, when this guy dealt with years ago, he was many tis more brutal than this."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga nodded and said, "Then continue.

However, I think we should still differentiate ourselves from those terrorists. Being a bit brutal is okay, just don't turn it into amusent.

I do not have much experience in this area, but I always feel that 'revenge' is most satisfying at the mont when you end the other person's life. Subjecting them to prolonged torture might instead evoke terrible mories."

'dic Officer Bird' listened intently and nodded, saying, "You are right!

I've been wanting to kill this guy, but 'Pigeon' said that we should extract the arms transportation route from Libya to Central Africa from him.

Recently, soone sent four armored vehicles and over a dozen 60mm mortars from Libya to the Diamond Warlord 'Zetaka's camp.

'Pigeon' thinks this route is worth investigating..."

Joe Ga was taken aback; he hadn't expected 'Pigeon' Thompson to adapt so quickly.

The arms for 'Zetaka' were provided either by the Glorious Society or Harlotte.

Since Aaron had not inford him, it must have been Harlotte supporting Zetaka through his North African channels.

This must have happened before Joe Ga went to Arica, and clearly, Harlotte's arms channels were not as good as Aaron's, which is why he had handed over the task of finding a large quantity of arms to Aaron after receiving the Crown Prince's commission.

Thompson did not know these details, but he was sharp and knew that 'Zetaka' should not be touched for now as they were tied to the boss's work schedule.

However, that did not stop him from tracing the arms route, which could sever Zetaka's supply at any ti and also demonstrate his capabilities to his boss.

Joe Ga knew his insensitivity to intelligence; he indeed needed soone to help him integrate the intelligence resources around him to avoid always being blunt in dealing with issues.

Thompson had made progress in just a few days, making Joe Ga feel like he really had discovered an impressive figure.

Seeing 'dic Officer Bird' looking sowhat admiring Thompson, Joe Ga happily said, "There's sothing to be said in this matter; I should tell Thompson everything I know.

But it's good for you guys to check it out too. In intelligence, even if only one in a hundred pieces is useful, it's worth it."

As Joe Ga spoke, Thompson walked out of the house, smiling and saying, "Boss, all intelligence is valuable because even if you can't use it yourself, you can exchange it for other information with soone who needs it.

If you can utilize intelligence properly, its value can be continually amplified."

Joe Ga stepped forward and shook hands with Thompson...

He understood what Thompson ant; what might be a useless piece of intelligence to one person could save another's life, so how much is it worth to 'that other person'?

No one or organization is omnipotent, and amplifying the value of intelligence or using it for 'exchange,' is an important part of the seemingly impressive intelligence personnel's work.

Seeing Thompson's confident expression, Joe Ga smiled and said, "How valuable do you think an arms transportation line's intelligence could be?"

Thompson shook his head and said, "It's not about the transportation line, but the people on it.

Soone is secretly selling arms funded by France to the Libyan National Unity Governnt.

I've consulted Mr. Kaman on your plans for the near future, knowing that you want to control the direction of the inevitable coup conflict.

So I wanted to clear up which warlords might cause trouble, and their backers.

'God's Armant' is not within my capacity yet, but I can confirm that 'Zetaka' is backed by at least three forces.

Glorious Society, Diamond dealer Harlotte, and..."

Joe Ga sighed silently and said, "Is it also France?"

Thompson was taken aback, then while inviting Joe Ga into the house, he laughed and said, "If you thought of France just by guessing, then I must comnd you."

Joe Ga walked into the plainly decorated house and, sitting on the sofa, stretched and said, "Unfortunately, it wasn't a guess; it's what I heard from the soon-to-be CIA chief in charge of Africa."

Thompson, suddenly realizing, nodded his head, then suddenly his expression froze as he stared at Joe Ga, saying, "Soon to be in charge? A newcor at CIA?"

Thompson was not handso at all; he reminded Joe Ga of an older version of Sean Penn, but Joe Ga thought there was a sparkle in the eyes of this seemingly old fellow.

Because it seed like he had instantly grasped sothing significant, definitely related to the soon-to-be-in-charge Eric.

Joe Ga gave Thompson a thumbs up and nodded, saying, "That guy's na is Eric, a trusted person of a bigwig in Arica.

His original plan was to co to Africa for a golden touch, but then he discovered a leak in the handover of intelligence and realized he might be scapegoated.

It seems like you've realized sothing, can you talk about it?"

Thompson covered his mouth and nose with both hands and breathed slowly at a very unique frequency, closed his eyes, and thought for a few minutes before saying, "Boss, it might not be as simple as being scapegoated.

The French and Harlotte are sharing an arms trafficking route, which is unusual. The only explanation is that Harlotte has made a deal with the French.

It's no secret that the French suffered a big loss in Niger, and almost everyone in the industry thinks the CIA is involved.

Harlotte has deep ties with the CIA, and now he's collaborating with the French. What do you think?"

Joe Ga thought about the intelligence he had received from Aaron...

Harlotte and his network are the masterminds behind the French misfortune!

Of course, their initial goal was probably just to weaken the allies' influence in Africa while forcing the allies to commit troops in Syria.

But they probably did not anticipate that Aaron would push terrorists to attack the uranium mines.

However, that's not the key point. The key is how did Harlotte convince the French to reconcile?

Even if the French intelligence is foolish, they should be able to investigate Harlotte's identity and his connections.

There must be so deals unknown to outsiders; otherwise, these two parties would not have cooperated.

What do the French want?

Face and profit!

That poor guy Eric, probably just a stepping stone pushed forward by Harlotte and his people.

So, what is the 'profit'?

Joe Ga knew that the core interests of France lay in the dominance over the European Union and their colonies in Africa.

But he couldn't guess what this 'profit' was.

He could only be sure that it must be a very significant benefit to appease the French's anger.

But these are not important, the important thing is that once Harlotte collaborates with the French, the battle that P·B will face in the future might not be as easy as he thought.

Once the French start to intervene under the pretext of a coup in Central Africa, P·B might face restrictions and might even be attacked passively.

Thompson, seeing Joe Ga's furrowed brow, smiled and said, "Boss, the first step in a coup is to control or block the communication channels of the authorities.

The French might support a puppet, and when the current president of Central Africa encounters misfortune or is imprisoned, they will use the puppet to challenge P·B's legitimacy and restrict P·B's actions.

When Central Africa's situation deteriorates and the French intervene fully, any action by P·B could invite retaliation.

However, as long as the safety of the president of Central Africa is ensured and the current situation in the Central African Parliant is maintained, P·B's legitimacy can theoretically be protected.

But personally, I suggest you consult with the Central African Ministry of Defense to draft a new national defense security contract that can shut everyone up.

Boss, the French are not as bold as you think, and Central Africa is not worth their waging a big war; things are definitely not as severe as you imagine.

But they are cunning; they just need to drop a word to give confidence to the anti-governnt forces, and no matter whether the coup in Central Africa is successful or not, they can always find new channels and standpoints to remind the Central African governnt to respect the status of France here," said Thompson, looking at Joe Ga with a cold gaze, shaking his head and chuckling, "Boss, this is the gap between great powers and small countries.

It's just Central Africa here; whenever the French want to act, they are destined to be the winners; you can only limit how much they win."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "France only has a few uranium mines of importance in Central Africa, and there are no other significant interests.

They probably see the potential in the steel industry chain and worry about their diminished speaking power in Central Africa.

It looks like our president has been jumping around recently looking for investnts, but has sowhat neglected the face of the Supre Emperor of Africa."

Saying this, Joe Ga looked at Thompson and smiled, "Many people don't believe my business in Sangha Town is a losing business, then I'll just bring them in to work together.

We fight first, and after the Supre Emperor's temper has passed, we invite the Supre Emperor's funds to enter the scene.

They want a say?

When you invest money, you are a shareholder, and you get a say.

It's not great for P·B to monopolize everything. There always needs to be an annoying guy joining in; only then can the local guys know who the good guys really are.

Haha...

At first, when I heard that I had caught the French's attention, I was a bit nervous. Now, I actually think it's a good thing.

Speaking power, huh? France can't exactly wreak havoc in a stable Central Africa. Eventually, it all cos down to the battle of ideologies.

How can the French model overco my 'win-win cooperation' model?"
