King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 822 - 745: Caught in the Middle of Great Powers

Joe Ga was not aware of the situation Monica was facing, but he knew that Thompson’s words were true.

Because no one would deliberately target Monica; if something really happened to her, it must be aimed at him.

As long as he was not dead, Monica’s safety was guaranteed!

Just after Joe Ga had signed a contract with Homeland Security and the CIA, someone targeted a person of great importance to him, making him realize that his opponent had infiltrated deep within the Homeland Security and the CIA.

This situation was incredibly messed up, and he could not comprehend how even a dirty bomb crisis couldn’t temporarily unite those people.

Certain vested interests were, at such a critical moment, ready to stoop to any level to maintain their own benefits.

Joe Ga had never really understood the so-called 80/20 principle because he had been poor and was once part of the ’80’, so he did not get why.

Later, many elite public intellectuals and celebrities kept talking about the so-called ’80/20 principle’, as if it was the nature of the world.

He did not understand why at that time, but he believed it anyway, because it seemed to be the reality, so he endeavored to make himself part of the ’20’.

But gradually, Joe Ga realized that this was just some ’truth’ being instilled into the lower classes by certain people.

They were made to believe this was the truth, then the essence of exploitation within it was ignored.

And those within the ’20’ were not united as one; they were also devouring each other.

Such ’devouring’ caused a metabolism that didn’t completely block the channels of advancement, creating a false sense of prosperity.

To maintain their status and interests, these people would do a lot of unimaginable things.

National interests, people’s safety, all that is bullshit; they have to safeguard their own and their group’s interests first!

In the 1980s, America, or rather the Ansa people, had something called the ’Washington Consensus’.

It was about letting 20% of the world’s population, which is to say white people, use political, economic, ideological, military, and other means to harvest downwards, enjoying 80% of the global wealth.

Later, there came the ’Post-Washington Consensus’, but the content was largely the same.

This ’consensus’ of exploiting the whole world has still not been broken!

In the early stages, whites in Europe and America did indeed enjoy extremely high welfare benefits, but as time passed, people began to be surprised to find that the so-called ’consensus’ was deteriorating.

Financial capitalism, this alienated form of imperialism, is heartless; it began to spiral out of control.

Indeed, it’s fair, as it doesn’t spare its own people, and slowly even the youth of Europe and America found their lives getting tougher.

Then there emerged all kinds of human rights movements, with public attention being artificially shifted to these so-called more vulnerable groups, using the diversion of conflicts to delay the eruption of contradictions.

Thus Rashiri’s interest group became an important Pusher in this context!

And the Republican Party, also known as the conservatives, many people deeply detest them.

Because after the Democratic Party comes to power, the pledges they need to fulfill come at a cost, and a part of these costs will be shifted onto the interest groups represented by the Republican Party.

Thus, there’s a fierce struggle to the death between the two parties!

If everyone is just grabbing money from outside, then what’s there to dispute?

Now not only you don’t provide me benefits, but you also want to take benefits from me, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.

After saying so much, Joe Ga realized he was caught in the whirlpool of struggle between two major vested interest groups.

Moreover, it seemed like his opponents were not taking him seriously, as the means they used were outside the rules.

Joe Ga’s irritability was an attempt to reverse their thinking, to tell them...

You bastards must acknowledge my status, keep the competition within the rules, or I’ll blow things up big time. I’m a mercenary, the last thing I fear is fighting outside the rules.

Joe Ga had no choice, because Rashiri’s attitude had already indicated that compromise would not bring him any benefits.

Actually, Joe Ga himself didn’t realize how much pressure he had put on those people.

His various ways of leveraging, various auras, had already made P·B into a significant force, even becoming a political force due to joining Donald’s election contest.

Those people are very powerful, but they cannot blatantly break the rule system they have established, otherwise, future competition will become ’competing to be the worst’, which means seeing who is nastier and has no bottom line.

The worst degree of competition is physically annihilating the opponent, and no one is more familiar with these methods than mercenaries.

They have barely established and perfected the current American system, and once the major vested interest groups fall into a malignant competition, the system might collapse, a cost they cannot bear.

Rashiri was the first to break the game rules, and the huge interest group she represents did not want to bear the consequences, P·B relying on the Republican Party or even America’s national security launched a fierce counterattack.

Mr. Qiao borrowed power from Homeland Security and caught these people off guard!

Everyone knew he might take the opportunity to retaliate, but no one could come forward to tell Homeland Security not to cooperate with Joe Ga.

Because they don’t have the ability to solve the dirty bomb issue, speaking out comes with a price!

Facing the deadly ferocity of P·B, many people were nervous.

People are really going to die!

How much are these people’s lives worth?

Mercenaries need to make money, and we’ll give them money!

That’s why Monica was ’invited,’ they want to negotiate!

Unfortunately, they underestimated the psychological trauma and physical assault Joe Ga caused to Harlotte, leading the situation to spiral out of control.

Joe Ga is the real man of action; provoke him, and regardless of your intent, he’ll respond in full force.

Danny Logan was left to deal with the aftermath in the nightclub, dozens of panicked women, a score of corpses, a dozen prisoners shot in the legs, not to mention the shocking video evidence found in the gang’s office...

Danny had to cooperate with the FBI’s Lesler, keeping the New York police out, then after taking pictures and collecting evidence together with the FBI, they loaded all the evidence onto a few trucks driven by Russians.

At this time, Joe Ga threw off Danny and the FBI and, guided by a corpulent prisoner, went straight to the Russian Mafia boss’s lair.

Thompson has already sent people to Long Island to watch from the outside; the wine party there hasn’t ended yet, and that Howard, even if he’s a fool, wouldn’t harm Monica while his party is ongoing.

Although Joe Ga is very angry now, there’s still some rationality left in him!

The list of bribes and accounts stored in the gang boss’s safe can minimize the fallout after he ’loses his temper.’

The raid on the Russian Mafia boss Boris’s mansion took barely any effort.

The Jazz Squad and Team A pincered from front and back, quickly overcame a few gangsters’ defense, and then broke in...

Boris’s mistress was caught, the safe was cracked open, and all crucial evidence was swept up, later escorted back to the New Jersey Farm by armed soldiers from PB.

Joe Ga’s straightforward approach was bound to miss some details due to a lack of thoroughness.

However, that’s not important, what he got was crucial information that Boris might be the mastermind behind the ambush.

What else would a gang boss with most of his gunmen do at a Wall Street tycoon’s party?

Either they’re there to take down the host, or they’ve been sent by the host to attack someone else.

Joe Ga feels that ’someone else’ is himself, so his rage is amplified once again!

By the time he walked out of Boris’s mansion, it was already 10 p.m.

Joe Ga took out a large box from the truck, fitted the night vision goggles onto his helmet...

After trying out the night vision goggles, with a smile, Joe Ga said to the soldiers waiting for his orders, "Don’t just stand there; I don’t know if we’ll face tough resistance, but I’m used to giving my all in a fight."

He patted Spurs on the shoulder and said to the Jazz Squad, "Guys, someone hurt my people and now has kidnapped them.

I’m not one for talking sweet, I can only tell you, if it was you in trouble, my stance would be the same."

’Crow’ just nodded nonchalantly, saying in a hoarse voice, "Boss, you don’t need to tell us this, just tell us where the next stop is."

Joe Ga lifted the cover in the trunk, and handing a heavy Scorpion Backpack to Ayu, grinned and said, "We’re heading to Southampton on Long Island; Thompson tells me a gang of gunmen is there trying to ambush us.

Let’s go say hello, and then, with their heads in tow, we’ll see who’s got the guts?"

’Crow’ adored Joe Ga’s style; this usually stoic Russian cracked a smile and turned to tell his guys something, then those Russians were pumped up like they were on adrenaline...

"Ura~"

Estelle didn’t know how to concoct her ’story’ anymore, batting her eyelashes at Joe Ga who exuded a frightening aura, wanting to speak but ending up holding back...

As everyone re-armed and started to speed towards Long Island, Estelle, who had been shrinking in the back seat, carefully said to Joe Ga, "Sir, are you really sure?

The place you’re attacking is..."

Joe Ga glanced at her and said with a grin, "I haven’t decided...

But I believe they’re even less prepared!"

Seeing Estelle’s concerned face, he continued with a smile, "You should think outside the box. Do you think it’s possible that the Russian Mafia would help ISIS smuggle contraband into America?

Then I received reliable intel and struck them...

Sure, my methods were a bit rough, but the results are there, right?"

Estelle blinked and said, "Can it work like that?"

Joe Ga nodded confidently, "Of course it can. As long as there aren’t civilian casualties, why not?

Even without clues about a dirty bomb, eradicating gangs contributes to America; they should give me a medal.

I’ve been too rule-abiding in the past; I need to make myself seem scarier.

Giving others a chance to clean up after me is also a way to foster unity."

Estelle was almost swayed by Joe Ga, shaking her head vigorously, "But what about that Howard? He is..."

Joe Ga chuckled as he counted on his fingers, "He’s a Wall Street billionaire, worth 20 billion US dollars, a good friend of the Speaker of the House, with investments yielding high returns over the past decade...

So what?

He’s associated with the terrorism-linked Russian Mafia and has illegally detained an important person from PB. I have every reason to suspect he wants to interfere with our search for dirty bombs…"
