King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

```

This guy must be tired of the warlords in Baida and Tulemaise, as he's looking to use somewhat gentler methods to kick them out of the game.

Logically, with the price at 5 US Dollars per barrel and Tubruq's current average daily export volume nearing 200,000 barrels, the funds are slightly less than what is need to hire the steady-style P.B. to fight a security battle, but it's enough for him to afford hiring Wagner or another major mercenary corps for a bloody purge.

When this guy says he doesn't want to fight a war, he probably means it. He's planning to cater to Europe and America's demand by establishing a law enforcement system, in an attempt to shed the military government image and give confidence to the civilians under his control.

Most importantly, as long as the law enforcement system works, he could replicate the model elsewhere, gradually reducing the influence of the warlords.

You warlords are nominally under the command of the National Army. Now that the boss is spending money on building a police force, thus reducing your security burdens, you have no reason to object.

Even if you want to turn hostile, I would then have a legitimate excuse to kill you!

That's why he needs Joe Ga, because P.B. generally doesn't work with warlords. Once boss Qiao nods, the law enforcement path will be clean.

As long as Baida and Tulemaise fall, the National Army's core territory will be completely under control.

With a high-quality highway running directly from Benghazi to Egypt, it not only facilitates the transport of materials sent by boss Qiao, but it could also pry open the door to border trade between Liberia and Egypt…

Haftar says he wants to develop the economy, and he's not just talking. Once the northeast is unified under his control, they would be able to attract foreign investors to place their bets in an almost virgin coastal market.

The geographical location here is excellent, with Benghazi and Tubruq owning two of the best deepwater ports.

Liberia's exports are not limited to oil; they also have natural gas and minerals. As long as Haftar puts in the effort, it's possible for Benghazi and Tubruq to flourish again.

Haftar is essentially spending 350 million US Dollars per year to commission P.B. to create a law enforcement system.

In essence, it's still about fighting; only the name and the uniforms have changed. It's akin to Joe Ga carrying out operations under the DEA badge in America.

It's a good thing, but it's good for Liberia and Haftar, not for boss Qiao, who doesn't agree with it.

The reason P.B. is in its current situation is because it has a unique stance. Apart from fighting against al-Qaeda, Joe Ga hasn't harmed anyone else's interests.

And by controlling the oil pipeline export terminal, it's like controlling the cash inflow of Liberia. With a massive influx of materials, few genuinely dislike P.B.

After all, P.B. is an outsider, and as per the contract, boss Qiao will eventually pull out.

The current daily export volume of 200,000 barrels is because the central part of Liberia remains relatively stable, with the warlords knowing they need to protect the hen that lays the golden eggs.

Boss Qiao now controls the pipeline export terminal, so those central figures must give him face.

But once boss Qiao cooperates with Haftar on a soft purge, if the central figures rally against Haftar's pressure and then cut off the crude oil supply to negotiate with boss Qiao, whom will boss Qiao cooperate with?

Everything can be discussed, but P.B.'s position is absolutely untouchable.

Because the moment it changes, P.B. would fall into endless political strife, and even senseless wars.

Haftar is dreaming if he thinks he can drag P.B. into the mud for just 350 million US Dollars a year.

Boss Qiao is like the chef who invites guests to a meal—you can't expect to pay a little money for boss Qiao to poison the people at the table, can you?

Would P.B.'s business still be viable in the future?

However, continuing like this isn't a solution either. Joe Ga can't be expected to personally help the National Army take down Baida and Tulemaise—without the support from America, England, and France, it's a bottomless pit.

Thinking of all the things he has to deal with and facing these troublesome matters, Joe Ga shook his head in frustration and said, "P.B. can't help you create so-called law enforcement systems, but P.B. can create two police model units in Tubruq and Byrdi.

You announce the legality of the two city governments, still giving the money to me, and I'll establish the police systems in Tubruq and Byrdi.

As long as you can gain the political upper hand, the rest will naturally follow, sending people to be trained. I can help train enough manpower for you."

Looking at the slightly disappointed Haftar, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "Buddy, P.B. is not a savior. People approve of me because I manage to look after most people's interests.

If my stance changes, those who are anxious to protect themselves may do something foolish.

Liberia belongs to the Liberians!

You are the boss of the National Army; building a police force should be done by yourselves.

All I can do is make a good start, the rest is still up to you!

Of course, if the law enforcement system is set up, I will go city to city to fight against the terrorists in Baida and Tulemaise who menace Tubruq.

I won't occupy those places, and there will be no conflict with the warlords. As long as the National Army approves, nobody can complain about my actions.

I want to help you, but only if it doesn't affect my stance!"

After listening, a disappointed Haftar said, "Hu Lang, are you really not considering it? If it's a matter of price, we can still negotiate…"

From Joe Ga's perspective, Haftar is a leader with ambition.
