King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

After getting a satisfactory response from Lao Niu, Joe Ga made his way to the command room.

Ever since Tony started following Boss Joe and taking lessons from Thompson, he's really livened up.

Now every member of the CIA team of five was leading five assistants each, strutting around with considerable swagger wherever they went.

When Joe Ga entered the command room, he heard laughter inside...

Curious, he glanced at Xiao Hei Curry, who laughed so hard that coffee spewed from his nose. Joe Ga cleared his throat and asked, "What happened? Tell me about it..."

The atmosphere at P·B was always great, quite relaxed except for important occasions.

As soon as Tony saw the boss come in, he got up and saluted in a somewhat awkward military fashion, then said with a laugh, "Boss, you've got to see this. Those French blue helmets are hilarious.

Less than 5 kilometers into the jungle, 34 of those guys are out of combat without a fight. Just now, one guy who was faking his injury got thrown back in by Colonel Kongde using a chopper, haha..."

With that, Tony played a video clip...

A French blue helmet with wet pants was clinging to the helicopter rail, struggling and yelling, "I don't want to go down..."

Then two foreigners kicked him out, ignored his kicking and screaming, and physically dragged him into the jungle to join the search team.

Joe Ga also couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Can't be serious, how come even with blue helmets, it's not this bad, right?

700 people surrounding a few dozen, and they're freaked out like this?"

Hearing this, Tony gave a weird look and said, "It's the guerrilla squad from the Liberation Front that tried to ambush your house.

They were running circles around the foreigners in the jungle. Then they ambushed the blue helmets, killed a few of them and chopped off the limbs of some wounded soldiers.

Those blue helmets were terrified!"

Joe Ga paused for a moment then said, "So you're telling me that the Liberation Front's guerrilla squad is quite formidable?"

Tony nodded seriously and said, "We don't know precisely, but seeing the Frenchies constantly calling for helicopter support, it's clear they aren't having a good time.

Mainly those blue helmets are so bad, they're not just dragging down the foreign soldiers, but they're also creating a mess."

After listening, Joe Ga looked around and asked, "Where's Thompson?"

Tony pointed to a compartment on the inner side of the command center and said, "Thompson would definitely be video calling his wife and children at this time. Do you need me to call him?"

After thinking it over, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "Nevermind, tell me, what do you think will happen if those foreigners encounter the Ghosts mercenary group?"

After some thought, Tony shook his head and said, "I think they might not do too well. We've now completely blocked the Ghosts' water evacuation routes, trapping them in an area of about 20 square kilometers.

If those foreigners are smart enough to focus on attrition, they could wear the Ghosts down, but if they insist on a direct confrontation, I expect a lot of them will die."

Saying this, Tony shook his head disdainfully, "The main problem is that those blue helmets are just too bad. Otherwise, 700 people could have overwhelmed the Ghosts.

Actually, if it were our guys, those guerrillas would have been wiped out by now."

After listening, Joe Ga couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, saying, "Don't underestimate them. Who knows? They might just need some time to adapt. They were pretty formidable when they messed up in Bangassou!"

With that, Joe Ga activated the communicator and said, "Dragon Gecko, how many Jungle Ghosts are at the base?"

Dragon Gecko paused for a moment then said, "80. Didn't you say you wanted them to receive modern technology weapons training? The Jungle Ghosts have started rotating.

We've left only 20 people at the gold mine. There are 80 soldiers in need of concentrated training."

Joe Ga slapped his forehead in realization. This was what he had told Karman to do, and he himself had forgotten about it.

This rotation would continue for the long term in the future, enabling the Xiao Hei's, trained by the old Seville veterans, to receive real jungle training while the Jungle Ghosts could get trained with modern weaponry.

Thinking about the enormous pressure the Jungle Ghosts were already under, and now that they finally got a chance to 'rest,' Joe Ga laughed and said, "Then find two old soldiers to get 20 people ready to be on standby. I have a feeling the French will ask for help.

I'm going to Liberia tomorrow; I'd better go over this in advance to avoid confusion at the time."

Taken aback, Karman asked, "You're going to Liberia? Which part of Liberia?"

"Benghazi!"

"Wait for me..."

It hadn't been a few minutes since Karman had ended the call when he arrived at the command center. He found Joe Ga with a frown and said, "Why go to Benghazi?"

Upon hearing that, Joe Ga replied with some surprise, "What's the matter? Why do you look a bit tense?"

Karman replied with a furrowed brow, "Because Benghazi is dangerous. It's not a jungle; we don't have an overwhelming advantage there."

Joe Ga shook his head and said, "I have some business and need to consult with someone. It has to be me who goes.

But the place I need to visit is on the outskirts of Benghazi; there shouldn't be too much danger."

As he said this, Joe Ga curiously asked Karman, "You've been to Benghazi?"

Karman stated matter-of-factly, "Few regular mercenaries in Africa haven't been to Liberia.

I've been to Benghazi once, but that was before the Libyan coup.

If you must go, we need to bring all our equipment and personnel.

We've clashed with ISIS and Boko Haram. P·B is marked by all the holy war organizations, making Benghazi a city filled with hostility towards us."

Joe Ga hadn't considered this, and he stroked his chin, saying, "Then we'll just keep a low profile; shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

We have almost 50 people in Benghazi now..."

Karman was the sort of person who genuinely wished Joe Ga a long life, but he knew he couldn't prevent his boss from doing business.

After some thought, he said, "Let's call back Devil Bird and the others, including 'Medic Officer Bird'."

As Karman was speaking, Thompson appeared from nowhere and shook his head, "Jack Heinz has surrendered; I need 'Medic Officer Bird' to watch him."

Unfazed, Thompson locked eyes with Karman and said, "The boss's safety is important. Have Team B move with you; 'Hemostatic Forceps' is also an excellent medic."

Joe Ga glanced at the dissatisfied Karman, shook his head, and said, "Too many people make us a bigger target, not better. If 'Medic Officer Bird' is busy, that's fine; having Team A's people will be enough.

If I actually run into trouble, I can get help from CIA agents."

Hearing this, Thompson frowned and asked, "That Eric Bent?"

Joe Ga nodded and said, "That's him. He's now the CIA's chief in Africa. If I really run into trouble, he can mobilize all of CIA's resources to help me."

Upon hearing this, Thompson shook his head and said, "P·B won't have any political issues in Benghazi. We do the security for the CIA. If you really have trouble, what can he do to help you?"

Thompson glanced at Karman and hesitated before saying, "I'm not particularly worried about your safety, but as the boss of P·B, you can't travel without a safety plan."

Joe Ga looked at Karman, who nodded in agreement, and he sighed helplessly...

He felt it wasn't necessary; P·B had plenty of personnel in Benghazi. However, both men meant well, and as the boss, he needed to respect their opinions.

After a long time, Thompson said, "Manpower isn't really a big deal; you guys are strong fighters.

However, establishing an evacuation plan in advance is essential...

The 'Mediterranean Smuggling Bible' is with me. I can make early contact with a ship for pick-up, stationed outside the Benghazi port on the sea.

At the same time, I can reach out to old friends to open a passage for you in Egypt.

That way, if there's trouble, you'll know which direction to retreat."

As he spoke, Thompson glanced at the slightly nodding Karman, then hesitated and said, "I can keep Jack Heinz locked up a few more days, and have 'Medic Officer Bird' go on the mission with you. Having a medic with you would give us some peace of mind."

Seeing Karman and Thompson apparently coming to an agreement with just a look, Joe Ga said helplessly, "Guys, I'm not a child. Don't act so alarmed, as if I'm really heading into battle...

I'm going to negotiate a business deal, a big deal!!"
