King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

After hanging up the phone, Joe Ga immediately called Chris, asking him to check on the activities of the "Glorious Society" in Central Africa and Uganda.

Long before the plan had even started, Joe Ga knew he would inevitably clash with the "Glorious Society."

Because most of the 'HLY' drug line belonged to the "Glorious Society."

This transnational crime organization had enormous power, with drugs being their largest source of income.

A drug trafficking route was like a golden path. With P·B stationed in Central Africa and looking to stay for the long term, they were bound to provoke an attack from the "Glorious Society."

However, Joe Ga couldn't imagine that a criminal organization like that could have the capability to plan a coup.

It wasn't until the following morning that Chris replied to Joe Ga with bad news…

Joe Ga had been fighting drug traffickers in Central Africa for nearly half a year, and as a result, the wholesale price of HLY in Europe had jumped by 30%. During this period, the Glorious Society had tried their luck along the route from Eastern Europe and the Red Sea to the Mediterranean but, being closely watched, they frequently faced setbacks.

The setback in the drug business had a terrifying domino effect, with the Glorious Society's territories in Europa even being challenged.

The underworld in Europa had been chaotic in recent months, and if the Glorious Society couldn't quickly open up the drug line in Africa, it might not be long before their power dwindled.

Chris wasn't a miracle worker; he couldn't uncover in such a short time what the "Glorious Society" was up to around Central Africa, but his information indirectly confirmed Joe Ga's suspicions.

Joe Ga sat in the cafeteria and digested the information provided by Chris, then asked, "I need to know who those arms dealers are and through which channels they are bringing in the arms?"

After making Joe Ga wait for a while, Chris said with a smile, "Your people sent me a photo of the smuggler. Guess what I found out?"

Listening to Chris's somewhat schadenfreude tone, Joe Ga said resignedly, "Don't tell me it's that Aaron?" Find your next adventure on empire

"Haha~"

Chris laughed and said, "You see, when you don't compete, others will come to your turf.

So, what do you think, will you change your mind? I believe, with your channels, you could push that Aaron out of Central Africa and West Africa.

That Aaron married the youngest daughter of the Mori Family of Italy and inherited their arms dealing channels. I suspect the explosion case in Tunisia was also his doing.

That guy is a greedy arms dealer, and you will eventually become enemies.

If you like, I can offer my assistance for free."

As the main executor of the downfall of the Mori Family, Joe Ga was well aware of the situation there and said incredulously, "How could the Mori Family possibly cooperate with the Glorious Society?"

Chris, unaware of Joe Ga's deeds in Italy, naturally said, "There are no eternal enemies in this world!

The losses of the Mori Family were severe, but they used the DEA and the Italian police to knock down the Glorious Society's core families in Italy, preserving their own status.

Afterwards, that Aaron negotiated with the Glorious Society; I don't know the specifics, but soon after, the Mori Family's drug channels were completely handed over, and now they primarily deal in arms.

Currently, Aaron hasn't fully penetrated the market in North Africa because although that Zaside is dead, his underlings are still struggling to maintain their power.

However, although Aaron hasn't made progress in North Africa, he has opened up new markets in Nigeria, Niger, and Mali—big markets…"

Joe Ga picked up on the regret in Chris's voice and chuckled, "I just received an arms order worth 26 million yesterday from the government forces of Mali and Niger…"

Upon hearing this, Chris exclaimed, "How could you do that? Are you in cahoots with that Aaron?

Buddy, don't play me. I've invested a lot of effort in North and West Africa. If there really is no hope for me, then I'll just bow out."

Joe Ga was amused by Chris's attitude and laughed, "Buddy, I've identified your problem; all your information sources and targets are the underworld. To call you an intelligence broker is too generous; you're actually a criminal intelligence broker.

Why can't you pay some attention to those government forces? Their demands can sometimes be very high, but they are definitely richer than those anti-government guerrillas."

After listening, Chris pondered for a moment and said, "Investing efforts on government forces isn't very valuable. Those godforsaken places change their presidents all too often, not to mention those responsible for military logistics.

Buddy, you told me you wanted to be the 'King of War'. Are you now planning to get involved in their civil wars?

If so, we can collaborate. I have lots of information on anti-government forces and terrorists."

Joe Ga fell silent for a moment, then said, "First, I need to stabilize my own base. I've spent too much effort in Central Africa, and I won't allow anyone to wreck my plans.

Keep a close watch on the Glorious Society and, while you're at it, dig into the 'God's Armed Organization' in Uganda, their background, and their recent activities. I'll handle that Aaron myself..."

"Everyone's an arms dealer, he has to give me some face!"

Chris lamented and cursed 'damn Central Africa', then agreed to Joe Ga's proposal.

As a broker, he had to get along well with people like Joe Ga, because P·B was no longer a nobody, and the company's strength was enough to get involved in the civil wars of some countries in Africa.

P·B was different from most mercenary organizations because their way of gaining benefits was diversified, and the team structure was stronger.

Once P·B decided to intervene, the benefits that could be derived would allow a broker like Chris to make a fortune.

Just as Eric had urged Joe Ga to push the Central African Government to pry into the diamond market, Eric could also integrate other interests from P·B.

It was just that in the past, Chris was caught up in the competition with Aaron, only now had he truly started to recognize Joe Ga's power, and he realized what he had missed in the past half year?

These mercantile guys all thought that Joe Ga's investments in Central Africa were foolish, but in fact, without Central Africa's 'great situation', P·B wouldn't have its current value.

Both Chris and Eric realized this point, but they still did not want to admit that they were the shortsighted ones.

After hanging up the phone, Joe Ga declined Dorian and their invitation to take a turn in the savannah, and led Dan Bao to the banana storage warehouse, picked a bunch of bananas, and sat down in a leisure area.

Then, while Joe Ga peeled bananas to distract the restless Dan Bao, he scrolled through his phone and found Aaron's number.

It was the one they had exchanged at a defense exhibition in Tunisia.

After dialing the number, Joe Ga waited for a while, only to find the call was picked up by a woman with a pleasant voice.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Aaron,"

"May I know what your business is with my boss?"

Joe Ga had no patience to deal with a mistress; he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is my phone number, you tell Aaron, Hu Lang is looking for him."

Saying this, Joe Ga hung up the phone and then embraced the restless Dan Bao, rubbing its large head...

Looking at the little guy with its nose tilted up and a mouth that seemed to be always smiling, signaling him to hurry up and peel more bananas, Joe Ga laughed heartily, yanked a few bananas, and carelessly stuffed them into Dan Bao's mouth, saying, "Kid, you need to grow up fast. Later, we will go to the savannah together, you and I, and I'll find you a plump and healthy girlfriend, haha..."

Dan Bao, as if understanding Joe Ga's words, put its front legs on Joe Ga's chair and snorted a 'roar', showing off its might before it seemed unsatisfied and then sprinted a few steps towards Ayu...

When Ayu crouched to prepare for the little guy's dash, Dan Bao, in a rather cowardly display, braked sharply 5 meters away from Ayu, slid on the ground for a few meters, then rolled and crawled back to Joe Ga's side, burying its head in his embrace, daring not to look at Ayu.

Such a cowardly performance from Dan Bao made Joe Ga sigh, pulling its ears trying to encourage it to try again when his phone rang.

Looking at a video chat link that came up on his phone, Joe Ga sighed at the caution of the other side, then called Ayu to bring a tablet computer from his room.

After entering the website, Joe Ga found himself in a chat room, the interface was very simple, and the site showed hundreds of chat rooms running.

Following the prompt, Joe Ga entered one of the chat rooms and then saw Aaron appear on the other side.

The guy was still in a wheelchair, but judging from the background, he must be in a desert area; combining this with his recent movements, he must be either in Mali or Niger.

When Aaron saw Joe Ga enter the chat room, he took a sip of his coffee and then waved with a smile, saying, "Hu Lang, we've met at the defense exhibition in Tunisia."

Then Aaron showed his coffee cup and said with a smile, "This is coffee beans from the Congo, the taste is very good. You should try some; it's quite convenient for you."

Upon hearing Aaron hinting at the location of his own company, Joe Ga nodded and replied, "I'll take your advice and send someone to purchase a batch from the Congo soon.

If you need anything, you can give me an address, and I can send you some regularly.

Because if I want the best, it will only come to my hands, and then it won't be easy for you to drink such good coffee again."

Yuri seemed not to detect the threatening tone in Joe Ga's voice; he laughed and replied, "I can try coffee from other places; I heard the ones from Central Africa are not bad either.

Buddy, we are all businessmen; monopoly is lucrative, but monopoly invites enemies.

I don't want to be your enemy; do you want to see me as one?

The government forces of Niger suddenly announced today they are stepping up their offensive and are beginning to recruit a new army; I guess they found a new weapons supplier, so I did a little investigation.

Was that you?"
