King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1906 - 1583: Done on Purpose

Capítulo 1906: Chapter 1583: Done on Purpose

The Regent’s Park, London…

Inside the luxurious residence purchased by the Shah Crown Prince, Joe Ga met this Prince who had been humiliated by the British government, feeling utterly disgraced.

The British Royal Family’s attention to the Queen’s funeral far exceeded external expectations…

They invited leaders from all countries, except six including the Chao Nation and Venezuela, to witness the event.

This was not for collecting tributes but rather to capitalize on the occasion as a good start for the old Prince’s coronation.

They would absolutely not do something as brash as driving away the mourners…

Using the media to humiliate Prince Salman, then removing this actual ruler of the Shah from the mourning list, what kind of brainless person would come up with such a plan?

Joe Ga knew the Crown Prince was eager to leave London, so he instructed Sayyid to take his family to their place of settlement while he, accompanied by Dorian and Ayu, discreetly drove to Prince Salman’s estate.

It was clear that Prince Salman had made some preparations to attend this funeral.

The garden of the estate was meticulously arranged, and to match the atmosphere of the British state funeral, it had been carefully adorned, giving a solemn overall impression.

Looking at the setup in the garden, it was evident that Prince Salman, who arrived a few days earlier, hosted several gatherings here.

Joe Ga, led by a Shah Royal Family steward, entered the estate and from afar heard the Crown Prince furiously addressing someone.

The voice was loud and rapid, and although Joe Ga couldn’t hear clearly, he could roughly understand some short phrases.

“Make them pay…”

Joe Ga could not discern who Prince Salman intended to make pay.

But clearly, the Crown Prince had treated the trip to the Queen’s funeral as a diplomatic ice-breaking journey. Yet, the British had caused such a commotion, not only damaging his reputation but also disrupting all his plans.

Deeply entangled in a scandal involving the murder of a journalist, the Crown Prince had been targeted and continuously whipped since old Bayer took office.

The media’s pursuit of him was expected, for he indeed went too far…

Even though the assassination was dismissed, the deceased, like a certain country’s expert and professor in the East, was considered to be a Western mouthpiece.

Since the Crown Prince started consolidating power within the Shah, the man had harassed Prince Salman under the guise of ‘democracy,’ relentless in his attacks.

Given the Hell-like tempers of Middle Eastern Royal Families, killing a person or two isn’t a big deal, but the Crown Prince had a malevolent nature, and his subordinates were excessively ruthless, dissecting living people and even recording it.

Failing in the media, the Crown Prince hoped his brother, Mouthy Trump, might lend a hand, but while Trump did attempt an effort, his own position was unstable.

In the end, when old Bayer came to power, the Crown Prince was deemed a pariah!

Old Bayer’s actions were understandable, for Joe Ga had seen that during his rescue of Amina from the Shah, the Princes cleared by Prince Salman were actually cultivated by the Democratic Party.

Frankly speaking, the princes within Shah could even be considered Democratic Party assets. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Initially, Prince Salman hoped to latch onto the Democratic Party to ensure a smooth power transition at minimal cost, even assigning someone to liaise with Rashiri for sponsorship.

Yet during the election, Joe Ga, in an attempt to rescue Sayyid’s sister’s marriage, exposed the person responsible for liaison within the Shah Intelligence Agency and buried Rashiri in the ground.

To disassociate themselves, the Democrats shifted all blame onto the Shah.

They implied that the Shah Royal Family was sycophantic, unaware of how they bypassed the oversight system to funnel money into Rashiri’s campaign account.

This pushed Prince Salman’s path to power in another direction — the purging personally witnessed by Joe Ga.

Capturing the princes, killing the core few, and detaining the rest in hotels, forcing them to surrender most of their wealth and shares.

Then releasing those particularly perceptive or insignificant, crafting an image of openness, while some remain under house arrest within the Shah, unable to contact the outside world.

Since then, the Crown Prince has effectively mastered internal power within the Shah, yet due to a journalist issue, he’s been ostracized by Europe and America like a street rat.

Especially after old Bayer labeled him a ‘pariah,’ his diplomatic dealings with the West have become virtually impossible.

Old Bayer’s threats are tangible, and the Crown Prince has constantly attempted to mitigate the conflict between both sides, with the Queen’s funeral being a meticulously prepared ice-breaking journey…

Yet reality slapped him once again, making him realize the softer he acts, the more people disregard him.

Truthfully, Joe Ga’s relationship with the Crown Prince is merely average; their interactions mostly occur indirectly through Prince Dvali.

Joe Ga actually didn’t want to engage face-to-face with the Crown Prince, but the sudden upheaval by the British left Joe Ga feeling uneasy…

He couldn’t pinpoint why, but any matter related to the energy giant Shah at this stage is substantial, and he must ascertain what’s going on.

In his eyes, there was absolutely no reason to offend the Shah to death at this moment!

The Crown Prince saw Joe Ga appearing at the manor from afar, and with a stern expression, he waved his hand to dismiss his assistant, then forced a slight smile to make himself look less gloomy…

When Joe Ga approached Prince Salman, the Crown Prince opened his arms and proactively stepped forward to hug Joe Ga…

“Hu Lang, it’s great to see you, too bad your timing is off, I’m about to leave here…”

Joe Ga was not used to the overly intimate Arab etiquette; he stepped back, spread his hands, and said, “What exactly happened?”

Prince Salman listened, his face darkened, and said, “Those guys are trampling on the dignity of the Shah; sooner or later, I’ll make them pay!”

Joe Ga didn’t pay much attention to the Crown Prince’s harsh words. He looked around and noticed the attendants had retreated to a certain distance…

He extended his hand in a gesture of invitation and then proactively stepped on the lawn of the manor, smiling as he said, “Are those English people crazy?

Why do they want to humiliate you when energy prices are rising?”

Prince Salman walked alongside Joe Ga on the grass, his face darkened as he said, “They think the Shah is still a nation that will beg for mercy as long as they say a word.

For the past month, they’ve been pressuring me using the Iran issue, constantly promoting the narrative that Iran will wage war against the Shah.

Some people within the Shah are showing hesitation, but they are unaware of our relations with…”

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga realized that the Europe and America intelligence agencies were not informed about the contacts between the Shah and Iran.

Much of their energy is currently focused on Europe, so they still believe the Middle East situation is similar to the past, meaning the Shah and Iran have no communication.

Of course, the Shah and Iran have not directly communicated yet, but the multi-year efforts have established a few indirect communication channels.

Both sides are still cautiously testing the waters, and substantive contact will require reaching a certain critical point in these tests where someone leads them to sit down for discussions.

Using Iran to threaten the Shah has been an old tradition for Britain and America and Big Mouth Tang eliminated Soleimani partly to hold the Shah close, facilitating his strategic execution while maintaining political interests in the Middle East.

A common enemy and sky-high military orders allowed Big Mouth Tang during his administration to effectively alleviate his conflicts with the military-industrial complex, while uniting the Shah at his side.

Kushner, Big Mouth Tang’s son-in-law, mediated the relationships surrounding country S under such a backdrop.

Then old Bayer came to power and started to revive the big-stick policy, aiming to knock ‘disobedient’ Shah.

Prince Salman has endured repeatedly, but ultimately received only further humiliation.

These seasoned politicians, experienced in countless schemes and secret diplomacy, found their ideas misaligned with the younger generation at this node, pushing the Shah entirely towards a different direction.

In terms of hard power, Shah is indeed lacking, but if Britain and America wish to use Iran to threaten him like in the past, that’s pure nonsense.

Joe Ga suddenly realized that those seasoned politicians were on a downward slope, and increasingly fast…

Looking at the indignant Prince Salman, Joe Ga hesitated for a moment and said, “Has anyone come to talk to you?”

Prince Salman paused his steps, nodded slightly, and said, “It’s people from the Rothschild Family; they want us to kick Russia out of OPEC+…”

Joe Ga nodded slightly and said, “You surely didn’t agree…”

Prince Salman listened, angrily said, “How could I agree?

No one can tolerate these people squeezing year after year; they fundamentally don’t respect us, they just want benefits…”

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, “That’s how the world is; on the surface, it’s all about national interests, but actually…

I’m just not sure what they want after forcing you into submission…

Convincing you to increase oil production to ease oil prices?

This approach of kicking you off the condolences list is too despicable; it’s intentionally creating enmity.”

Suddenly Joe Ga realized something, looked at Prince Salman and said, “How do you plan to retaliate?”

Prince Salman paused for a moment, his expression darkened, and said, “Of course, maintain communication with Russia and uphold OPEC+ stability…”

Joe Ga shook his head slightly and said, “If I were you, I certainly wouldn’t do that…”

Prince Salman frowned and looked at Joe Ga, somewhat displeased, and said, “They humiliate me, can’t I do something?”

Joe Ga didn’t look at the angry Crown Prince; he walked slowly while shaking his head and said, “I don’t know, I just think you might have overlooked something…”
