King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 943 - 848: The Truth of the World_2

The audience quieted down for a moment, then erupted into huge applause...

There was no need for Boss Joe to direct it, the applause was all for those soldiers.

Had those volunteer soldiers from NATO member nations ever received such a treatment?

Pantos of the Greek 'Spartans' subconsciously puffed up his chest, trying hard to pretend to be one of the P·B soldiers to share in the glory...

Noticing that his comrades around him had similar reactions, Pantos turned his head to look at his comrades next to him and said with a smile, "If Boss Hu Lang gives me a salary now, I would switch sides immediately...

I guess many people are thinking this way!"

Pantos' comrade looked at the frontline of the permanent five T1, he nodded forcefully and said: "Actually, we are no less than them, we can also find good jobs...

Joe Ga purposely waited a while, letting the soldiers fully enjoy the enthusiasm from the locals, then he gently tapped the microphone, smiling as he said: "I take your applause as praise for us...

My guys are the best, most honorable soldiers in the world, they deserve your praise!

So I can't help but make a selfish request...

I ask you not to forget the sacrifices these 'strangers' have made for you.

They stood up from the darkness, walking through blood and fire with swords.

They believe that there is still hope in this world, they believe that a soldier's honor is the most valuable thing.

So they fight for you, bleed for you, sacrifice for you...

They think you are worth it, so I ask you not to let them down!"

Saying this, Joe Ga glanced at the excited soldiers, and then suddenly shouted loudly, "I don't care what other armies are like, I only know that P·B soldiers deserve respect!

They bring hope to you, never let them return home disappointed!"

"Whoosh..."

The immense noise and applause rose again, as people paid high respect to these soldiers.

'Gratitude' is one of the cheapest things in the world, but 'honor' is indeed one of the most expensive things in the world, and it cannot be bought with money!

Boss Joe is a born leader of soldiers; he knows what matters most to soldiers once life settles down!

Joe Ga, standing on the stage, saw 'Sharp Knife Squad's' excitement so strong that it seemed smoke could burst from their heads...

The guy, dancing and wanting to share his excitement with those around him, was held down by the embarrassed 'Hellhound'.

Joe Ga laughed heartily and looked again at the crowd below...

"We have won, the safe zone is no longer merely nominal!

I know many of you are just passers-by in the safe zone, but that's fine, the very purpose of establishing this place was to provide a safe haven for those displaced by war.

I am not Syrian, not Iraqi, not Middle Eastern...

But my love is an MSL, and she has convinced me that MSLs are not as conservative as the outside world portrays, many of you are willing to embrace the world while adhering to your doctrines.

I am honored that I responded to the call of Princess Amina to come here!"

Saying this, Joe Ga glanced at the orderly Martyrs Camp, smiling, he said: "I am honored to have witnessed the most passionate side of this world!

Ladies of the Martyrs Camp make me believe that there truly are brave individuals in the world who, for their beliefs and lives, step up to fight the demons."

Then Joe Ga pointed at the formations of volunteer soldiers, saying, "Look at them, they are volunteer soldiers, they brought their own weapons to fight for you here.

They have proven to me that there is some sort of justice in this world.

This justice causes many to pick up arms and come here, then to embrace you and show you that you are not alone.

The safe zone is just a narrow area; Princess Amina has pleaded everywhere, only to create a small opening for you, but please believe that there is light in this world.

Sorrow and despair are not the mainstream of the world; when you are mired in the quagmire of war, there will always be people willing to lend a hand..."

Seeing the mood of the people below gradually sinking, Joe Ga said with a smile: "Look around you...

Here are Syrians, Berbers, Assyrians, Kurds, Turks.

You are gathered here because a group of Kurdish female soldiers have sent out a call for help.

I don't understand the conflicts among you, nor do I care...

From the very first day the safe zone was established, I've told everyone that this place is a shelter for all who suffer from the war.

Look around you...

Actually, the expectation of all people in despair is consistent, to live and then to strive to live with dignity!

I won't ask you to love everyone around you, but I want you to understand that we are all sufferers and helping each other through the hard times is most important.

Your life is hard enough, why not embrace a bit of warmth?"

After Joe Ga finished speaking, the clearly divided ethnic groups in the audience seemed to loosen up a bit...

He said with a smile, "P·B is a military contracting company, we earn our bread with guns, but we equally aspire for peace!

Fighting is for victory, but the smile after the victory is where true value lies!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have won!

So starting now, please keep smiling, because you are safe!

You can be the guests of the safe zone, and leave when your hometowns stabilize.

You can be builders of the safe zone, working with your hands, earning salaries and simultaneously making the safe zone prosper more.

You can be residents of the safe zone, as long as you can tolerate others' beliefs and habits, you can stay here, supporting yourselves and your families through work.

You can further be our partners, joining us in persevering forward, upholding a peaceful sky for all war sufferers.

You can have many identities, but not that of a refugee!

Refugee is a derogatory term, imposing this word upon you is the greatest injustice!

It's not your fault. Why should you bear all this?

All of us should live uprightly and with dignity!

If anyone tries to trample this dignity, tell me, I'll smash those bastards' mouths and teach them to maintain respect!"

As Joe Ga noticed a somewhat bewildered crowd below the stage, he could sense their lack of confidence and fear, so he smiled and said, "I read a passage in a book once...

When you find yourself in a difficult situation, remember one thing, to bravely get through every dark night, for then there will be daylight.

So no matter how tough it is, remember to stand tall and brave, and face all this mess!"

Seeing the crowd's attention being engaged, Joe Ga pointed towards the children at the front of the crowd with a solemn expression and said, "Life is hard, especially for you!

Many of you have lost family members, friends, lovers...

But you are alive, and as long as you are alive, there is hope!

Your lives have been destroyed by war, years of war must have ruined countless families who didn't even have a chance to get here.

Destruction is much easier than construction, and I believe you feel it more deeply than I do.

I don't mean to evoke your terrible memories, I just want to say…

Don't be defeated by a war that was not your fault!

Because once you fall, once you get accustomed to this situation, it will be incredibly hard to pick up life again.

You haven't done anything wrong, don't give up hope for the future because of the traumas of war."

As Joe Ga pointed towards the crowd below, he spoke earnestly, "I originally came here just to respond to Princess Amina's call, but then my conscience wouldn't allow me to stand idly by, and my buddies found a sense of honor here.

P·B people are like lions, we are combative, but we are never greedy!

I need you to trust me, as long as I can feel your trust, then before all of P·B falls, the safe zone will be your haven!

Tell me, do you trust me?"
