King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 909 - 820 Preparation

Baghdad...

Recently, a group of people from China have taken residence here.

A squadron of 120 soldiers, under the guise of protecting the safety of Chinese investment projects, has settled into a hotel in Baghdad.

6 P·B pilots recruited from the 'international market' have joined P·B's air force, and they have almost tirelessly begun trying their hands at operating F-16 jets.

Chris, who had always been busy with the humanitarian corridor operations, has returned to Baghdad Base, where he, in conjunction with 'Three Yellow Chickens', put the base under complete lockdown as the person in charge.

The most crucial runways and hangars were fully sealed off, now inaccessible to other groups of mercenaries.

The reason is ready at hand; P·B received intelligence that ISIS wanted to attack airport facilities, leaving their own boss isolated and without support.

Following that, P·B began a series of dizzying troop movements, and due to P·B's complex composition, these moves perplexed many.

Then, just when everyone was feeling bewildered, Cobra, Archerfish, and those old pilots called forth by hero posters, quietly appeared at the Iraqi Air Force Base.

A group of Kurdish Militia, who were the first to join P·B, donned the uniforms of the Iraqi Special Forces, and together with a contingent of the actual Iraqi Special Forces, completely sealed off the airport.

It was a literal lockdown, with a substantial supply of materials prepared inside the airport, and no one allowed to approach within a three-kilometer radius.

In fact, no one would want to approach the Iraqi Air Force Base, knowing it to be a graveyard for fighter jets, where jets that went in rarely came back out.

Only when dealing with the outside world would they use electric cars to tow the planes onto the runway for show.

But now, things are different. Little 'Andre' brought a team of ground support personnel and secretly recruited more people from Seville, sneaking into the Iraqi Air Force Base. They then remodeled several hangars to facilitate the assembly and placement of some fierce-looking Winged Dragons and a large batch of Blue Arrow Missiles by the newcomers from China.

Chris has never been so nervous as he is now...

He has been mixed up with Boss Qiao for some time and is among those who observed Qiao rise to prominence step by step.

But the situation Boss Qiao faces now is enough to send shivers down his spine...

Standing by the office window, looking far out at the noticeably emptier airport area within Baghdad Base, he spoke with a hint of worry, "Three Yellow Chickens, did Hu Lang really arrange it this way?

Do you think our operations can fool everyone else?"

'Three Yellow Chickens', sitting on the sofa with a cup of green tea, took a sip and chuckled, "Of course not...

But right now, CACI's people play deaf and dumb, and Cube Company's people are scared stiff.

Buddy, the boss is giving Cube Company a chance to 'beg for mercy' in advance—they are also 'victims'. Especially that Major General, he's been betrayed by his own partners, and if he stays in Iraq, he's sure to die.

I've leaked a bit of info to him, letting him understand his predicament, and as long he sees the slightest chance, he'll try to grasp it..."

As 'Three Yellow Chickens' took another sip of tea, he sighed contentedly and continued, "The boss is really impressive, much more than I ever imagined.

I don't know how he surmised Cube Company would face problems, but being able to hold back his wrath, exerting pressure on Cube Company with some moves while forcing them to compromise and then pulling them into our camp...

That's truly incredible!

With Cube Company's cooperation, many problems will be easily solved!"

Upon hearing this, Chris, with furrowed brows, said, "I get it, I understand Hu Lang's way of handling projects. As long as they aren't sworn enemies, he tries to bring people on board.

What I'm worried about is our air force deployment, using Cobra and Archerfish as bait at the Iraqi Air Force Base, leaving a few Chinese pilots as the main force—is this really okay?

This is Hu Lang we're talking about; his actions impact the livelihoods of millions. If anything happens to him..."

'Three Yellow Chickens' glanced at Chris, choosing not to explain to this foreigner...

Those dispatched from China are generally elites; those pilots might look young, but each is carefully selected from large squadrons.

They might not be familiar with F-16s, but the enemy doesn't have reliable air force and anti-aircraft firepower either.

If it's just about bombing, they far outperform those so-called Iraqi fighter pilots.

They might not have dropped live bombs often, but the hours they've flown and the time they've spent on simulators would thoroughly outclass pilots from many countries.

Moreover, these simulators are not just from China, but also provided by American companies!

When Liang Qiao and Xiao Qiao visited the United States Cube Company to study and attempt further improvements on unmanned airships, not only did they secure a large order for his brother, but they also brought along a dozen or so pilots disguised as company employees.

Splurging nearly a billion in one go—how could Cube Company refuse such a big client who wanted to 'play games' with their flight simulators?

This isn't money toyed with by American politicians, this is genuine company revenue!

Cubic Corporation is indeed impressive, but a billion-dollar deal like this is something they don't encounter often, perhaps only every few years,

F-16 is no state secret—Xiao Qiao is all up for playing, sure, let him play. Not just with simulators, but there's also a pair of half-donated-half-sold, ultra-classic 'F-14 Panda Fighter Jets' for their amusement.

When you've had enough fun, we'll send you two F-14 Panda jets along with a castrated simulation system, directly crashing into a ship for shipment to Liberia, and then it's up to you to find a way to bring them back to Central Africa to set up your fighter jet 4S shop.

The six that came are all experts who have played with the F-14 Panda, and have spent over a month soaking in Cube's most advanced simulators.

True, they are no match for the two old Aces, not even the experience of veteran pilots, but they have enough momentum and are more energetic.

Watching Chris's anxious look, 'Three Yellow Chickens' slightly shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it. The Cobras aren't bait; China's pilots are not worthless.

Just like you said, the boss is very important, so we're not being clever for the sake of it, but rather we're not putting all our eggs in one basket.

All the actions we've taken are to make others think we're being too clever...

The enemy surely doesn't have the capability to attack two military bases at the same time, so they will subconsciously think we are trying to be clever, and then attempt an attack.

We don't care because we're prepared on both sides...

Whichever side encounters an attack, P·B's air superiority will always be there."

After listening, Chris frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "So what we've been doing is simply dispersing the air force power?"

'Three Yellow Chickens' spread his hands, smiling, and said, "Just going through the motions. We're the absolute home team in Baghdad; we won't give them a chance for a conventional attack. Who knows what crooked ideas they might come up with?

Do you know what I admire most about the boss?"

While saying this, 'Three Yellow Chickens' looked at the clueless Chris and said, "The thing I admire most about the boss is that he always picks the right enemies and then, after establishing local superiority using the external environment, he leads the fight to a 'fair and square' path.

He rarely relies on clever tricks to win battles!

So P·B's power is all hard power; those soldiers can always perform at 100% or even exceed expectations!

How do the remaining ISIS in Iraq manage to defeat the strong with the weak?

Giving them the chance to take some advantage and then moving the final battle to Syria is the best approach.

Buddy, the air force is the main force for the time being, but not the ultimate force in the final battle."

Chris, admittedly not well-versed in military matters, said in confusion, "If not using fighter jets for the final battle, then what?"

'Three Yellow Chickens' shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Buddy, what do you think the Rabbit Squad is escorting to Syria for?

The Great Warlord Princess's warship is stationed at the Syrian port, where many formidable soldiers are now gathered..."

At this moment, even the usually slow Chris realized the issue, and said incredulously, "Hu Lang is going to cooperate with the Syrian Government?"

Saying so, Chris clapped his hands forcefully and said, "Right, when it comes to who hates ISIS the most, the Syrian Government is definitely in the top three.

FUCK, once the cooperation is established, the official Syrian channels open up...

No wonder recently almost all online media have been criticizing the Syrian Kurds, with even the Iraqi Kurds looking down on them.

SHIT, this is a gift Hu Lang is giving to the Doctor President..."

'Three Yellow Chickens', though less excited than Chris, truly admires Hu Lang...

This guy, a formal military academy graduate who spent many years in the military, is certainly top-notch in terms of tactical ability. But when it comes to strategic vision and the ability to leverage strengths against weaknesses, 'Three Yellow Chickens' thinks that boss Qiao is in a league of his own.

Of course, this has to do with P·B's scale, location, and capabilities. Being 'weak' forced boss Qiao to 'figure things out'.

But ability is ability, formidable is formidable!

'Three Yellow Chickens' acknowledges that, in terms of strategic vision and action, boss Qiao is stronger than anyone he knows!

......

At this time, Joe Ga cut off external communications for three days until he confirmed that the Doctor President of Syria had accepted his goodwill and had enthusiastically arranged a transport plane for those 'Volunteer Soldiers'. Only then did he turn on his satellite phone...

Before long, his phone rang. Joe Ga answered, listened for a few seconds, then walked towards the communications room with a smile, ready to start a video conference...

As he passed the resting T1 teams, Joe Ga said with a smile, "Are you ready?

Someone is ready to pay us big money to take down ISIS!

Go study the map; as long as we knock out the enemy's air defense missiles, I'll give each team a fighter jet for cover, letting you go on a killing spree!"

'Hellhound' is a straightforward guy, curiously asking, "Isn't this what we were planning to do anyway?"

Joe Ga, disdained by the question, waved his hand and said, "With your intelligence, I find it hard to explain to you!

Just go get ready. You, Dagger Squad, will take care of destroying the ISIS air defenses..."
