King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 966 - 867 Sudden Incident

The two parties reached an agreement, making the conversation between Boss Qiao and Jean-Pierre much more relaxed.

Having achieved his objective, a completely relaxed Pierre began complaining to Joe Ga.

As the so-called head of national security, he lacked the impressive authority and power often seen in spy movies.

In fact, nowadays, most of France Security's efforts are focused on suppressing domestic terrorism and various self-inflicted racial hatred issues.

This head of the intelligence agency is now overwhelmed by various immigration issues, public security problems, and strikes and demonstrations.

Joe Ga has no sympathy for Pierre at all; while Pierre complained with his mouth, his body was honest. If there were no benefits, this guy would have resigned long ago.

France, this colonial landlord, has been 'paying off debt' in recent years...

In order to demonstrate their amicability to the people from their colonies, as well as to fill the domestic labor shortage by absorbing immigrants to take on jobs French locals are unwilling to do, they opened colonial visas, particularly taking in many from the Muslim world.

But when you bring people in without providing a decent living environment, expecting good public security is nothing but a pipe dream.

For Pierre, the head of security, power would only be enhanced under such circumstances.

What resources can France's poor African brothers provide?

Only by getting involved in the domestic security system can they amplify their power, and the benefits well...

Joe Ga pretended not to notice Pierre's boastfully veiled complaints, shaking his head with a smile, "Minister Pierre, you still work too hard...

ISIS is on the verge of collapse, and those terrorists scattered around the world are probably not going to give up peacefully.

I keep hearing complaints from Monaco's Albert II over the phone; the security situation there is not so good.

Perhaps we can conduct a joint anti-terror exercise. The French government's finances are tight, but Albert II is very rich.

He also wants to do something to reassure the people of Monaco..."

Saying this, Joe Ga looked at Pierre, who seemed to be in deep thought, and said with a smile: "I'm a military leader, but after the war in Iraq, my Europe and America business will definitely shift towards security services.

I've long heard about the prowess of the French GIGN, let's go to Monaco for a drill.

Let Albert pay for the drill, and afterwards, he must be grateful to you.

If there is an opportunity, I am sure the Princess would be happy to send some soldiers to train with GIGN.

Monaco is a staunch ally of France, and I believe Minister Pierre wouldn't want Monaco to fight alone."

Pierre is a real old hand, and Joe Ga's proposal is another opportunity for him to expand his influence and power.

The last chemical weapons incident in Monaco led to distrust of France among the locals.

Now with Joe Ga's suggestion, GIGN can re-enter the security affairs of Monaco, and the money is even paid by Monaco itself.

If this can be arranged, Pierre's resume would get yet another significant entry.

Furthermore, once the training project starts, this kind of deployment can't just be done in Monaco due to lack of space.

Setting up a temporary base elsewhere would involve a significant amount of money in transactions.

Direct embezzlement is the most primitive method; establishing a new base, with big money passing through, can easily generate a lot of interests and bargaining chips.

Who to dispatch, who is responsible for the construction of the base, who manages the logistics of the base...

Monaco, eh, one of the wealthiest places on earth, if Albert II is willing to spare some change for sponsorship, the entire financial situation of GIGN could instantly improve.

And with an additional deployment team, a number of positions will emerge, all of which can be used for bargaining or for doling out favors.

Pierre simply can't resist such an opportunity!

Joe Ga isn't causing trouble for no reason either; he too is annoyed by Albert II, that deathly scared ghost.

This guy can't deal with his warlord wife, so he bothers the Princess's behind-the-scenes boss every other day, after all, from a logical standpoint Albert II has paid his protection money, even including his son.

Previously, when Joe Ga was in danger in Syria, 'Ferryman' left Monaco to support him, and the security forces there are currently quite feeble.

Albert II has every right to complain!

At this juncture, Boss Qiao, seizing the subtle complaints of Pierre, invited him to Monaco for an anti-terror exercise; it wouldn't waste France's finances and would allow him to demonstrate France's anti-terror capabilities and determination to the outside world, all the while helping to reclaim some influence over Monaco for France...

Where else could one find such a perfect opportunity?

Don't bother setting up your own base; I'll rent you the Italian base shared with the Sea Hound from P·B.

Pick the price for the rent, and I'll give you a substantial kickback.

Just keep a GIGN unit and logistical support staff there, securing Monaco's safety on one hand and training some skilled operatives on the other.

Isn't that perfect?

Joe Ga can't see any reason for Pierre or even the French government to refuse.

Pierre can't think of any himself...

And so, after an informal negotiation, both parties reached a mutually beneficial deal.

Monaco pays, France and P·B put on an act, and in the end, Monaco gets people, Pierre and Boss Qiao get the profits.

Actually, although GIGN is one of the top teams in the world, it is only a combat team.

By the time Joe Ga reached this stage, no matter how formidable his team was, the actual results of combat were incomparable to the gains from deals made underneath the table.

If it were not for Joe Ga's personal character, he would have bid farewell to his combat teams long ago.

However, there's a saying 'character determines destiny'. As long as someone like Joe Ga doesn't die on the battlefield, he's destined to become a legend among soldiers!

As long as you handle it well, even GIGN is not an indestructible corner!

As the two were happily chatting, Dorian, who had been sitting on the living room sofa drinking, suddenly stood up.

He shook his vibrating satellite phone at Joe Ga and said, "Boss, it's Steven, do you want to take his call?"

Joe Ga slapped Pierre on the arm and said with a smile, "We've settled our matters, I'll go take the call.

Have a few more drinks, I'll arrange for someone to take you to the Baghdad Air Force Base later. It's safer there, and convenient for you to monitor the handover of munitions."

Pierre was pleased with the outcome, he nodded with a smile and said, "Then I won't be polite, I'm actually also interested in that base. I heard that several big mercenary firms spent a lot of effort there, yet you plan to turn it into a logistics center...

I must go see for myself, haha..."

The construction of the four military bases in Iraq was one of the most valuable fixed assets Joe Ga had obtained at this stage apart from oil fields, and it was also Joe Ga's pride and joy.

Joe Ga, chuckling, urged Pierre to take a good look around and grab some local specialties on the way out, then walked over to Dorian, took the phone, and after connecting...

"Hey, Steven, what's up? I thought you'd be busy preparing for the Republican Party's victory party right now."

Ambassador Steven on the other end of the phone paused, then replied with a bitter smile, "Hu Lang, there's trouble. Rashiri's people have lost a big sum in the crude oil futures market recently.

Now they are stirring up rumors that we subcontracted Iraq's oil field extraction rights to China...

They claim China is manipulating international oil prices through terrorist attacks..."

"What the fuck~"

Joe Ga blurted out an expletive in disbelief, "Have these people no shame? Who the hell is trying to manipulate international oil prices?

The cooperation between China and America Energy Groups is just a subcontract; they are fucking working for you guys.

And they still get backstabbed?"

Steven sighed, "We know what's going on, but others don't.

We can clear up the legal issues by showing the contract, but as soon as Rashiri shouts their slogans, it creates a ripple effect.

People in America are not as clear-headed as you think. Rashiri's emails have been exposed for so long, and most people, even if they have read the emails, don't understand what Rashiri did."

Joe Ga had now calmed down a bit, frowning as he walked to the window, and spoke in a deep voice, "What the hell do they want?

With less than a week left before the final vote of the election, instead of thinking about turning the tables, they're troubling China. What are they after?"

As he spoke, Joe Ga paused, then said, "No, that's not right, they want to trouble me, because it's the cooperation between two Energy Groups, with P·B acting as the intermediary...

FUCK, these ungrateful bastards are trying to screw me over and drag Big-Mouthed Tang down with me.

I've fucking done so many good deeds before, and it's one thing for them not to be grateful, but now they want to harm me?"

Steven listened and said with a bitter smile, "Hu Lang, it's not just you, it's me and Eric too.

Can you believe it? Now I am being called a traitor by a bunch of media people, for 'selling' American oil fields to China."

Joe Ga heard this and said in disbelief, "You're just watching them mess around?

Sue them, bankrupt them, FUCK, you've been through big scenes too, show them some action."

Steven's spirits lifted a little, "That's exactly what I'm doing. The World News Network, The New York Times, CBC, I have a few targets...

I'm going to make them pay for their nonsense!"

After a moment of silence, Steven said, "Hu Lang, it's Eric who's in deeper trouble now, someone has leaked his girlfriend Anna's identity..."

Joe Ga was taken aback, asking, "What's wrong with Anna's identity?"

As he said this, Joe Ga came back to his senses, cursing, "Are these sons of bitches even human?

So what if Anna was with the Russian Security Department before?

Those people coerced Anna through Black Hand to poison Eric, and now they turn around to expose Anna's identity to frame Eric.

Shit, these sons of bitches are really fucking despicable...

But this shouldn't have much impact on Eric, right? He's already resigned from the CIA..."

Having said this, Joe Ga himself shook his head, not feeling very confident, this was just too much of a mess.

Eric was previously the head of CIA's Africa operations, and to think his girlfriend is from the Great Russian Security Department, this is a classic case of being caught red-handed, no explanation would suffice...

Steven probably could tell that Joe Ga was catching on, so he replied with a wry smile, "There's worse news..."

Joe Ga listened and said with a wry smile, "Please don't tell me Big-Mouthed Tang is connected to Russia..."

Steven seemed pretty dejected himself, letting out a sigh of despair, "Someone has exposed that Big-Mouthed Tang's company had large financial dealings with several of Russia's big companies..."

Joe Ga: "......"
