King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1802 - 1482: Debate
Capítulo 1802: Chapter 1482: Debate
Joe Ga thought for a long time and decided to reveal his unease to everyone present…
Those seated were the core members of the group. If any of them faced an issue, the biggest loss wouldn’t necessarily be for Boss Joe, but for the others in the group.
This is because Boss Joe had once expressed that P.B’s business in America could be abandoned!
If someone among these people had issues, an informant might not gain excessive returns, and they would also face the group’s fiercest backlash.
It’s important to know that this is a new group formed under a violent company like P.B, and the most crucial feature of such a group is that their ultimate means would be extremely violent and uncontrollable.
When the cost of betrayal is raised to a certain level, ‘trust’ naturally comes.
Although some of Steven’s words made Boss Joe dubious, it wasn’t directed at Steven but rather a concern that this guy might be swayed by someone with intentions.
Earlier, Joe Ga thought about it for a long time and felt that he should be a bit more honest…
Watching everyone patiently waiting for him, Joe Ga declined the champagne offered by Monica, picked up a bottle of beer, gestured, and took a big gulp…
“I’m not sure if my feelings are correct, but I’ve decided to prepare for the worst!”
Joe Ga looked at everyone whose expressions had dramatically changed and waved his hand, saying, “Don’t worry, it’s not the kind of worst-case scenario you are imagining.
But instead, I lack the patience to bicker over non-core projects with others.
So I will negotiate with those people…
The IPO of ‘Deadly Strike Group’ was mishandled, and I can cover all of those people’s losses.
Whether it’s buying back all the shares or providing them with some compensation, I’m willing…
As long as I can resolve this problem once and for all.
The problem with ‘Deadly Strike Group’ is like an anchor hanging on the ship; if it’s not severed cleanly, those people can always use this ‘anchor’ to hold back our big ship.
Separating P.B from the ‘Deadly Strike Group’ helps me make cleaner decisions.”
Alicia frowned and looked at Boss Joe, saying, “Hu Lang, the current market value of the ‘Deadly Strike Group’ is about $500 to $550 million.
Those people have paid a big price and simultaneously concealed the actual relationship between this company and P.B from the public, which is why they managed to maintain this stock price.
This is also one of the reasons why they haven’t loudly caused trouble for Monica…
Whether you want to buy back or provide compensation to completely sever ties with them, it requires a huge price, along with some legal risks.”
Joe Ga said somewhat helplessly: “Precisely because of the reasons you mentioned, I must resolve matters with them cleanly…
Because I don’t want to get dragged into the big whirlpool of Ukraine!
Neither going to Sweden nor Ukraine is part of my plan.
There’s currently a force outside trying to push P.B into the quagmire, and ‘Deadly Strike Group’ will definitely become their focus of effort.
Initially, they don’t even need P.B’s people to actually go in; as long as outsiders believe P.B is involved, it will bring me significant trouble!”
Steven said with some confusion, “Why?
The war in Ukraine might drag on like you said, but we all believe the outcome is no suspense.
Hu Lang, you’re a true politician, you should know very well that rowing along the historical tide can bring the most benefits to everyone.
I can understand you don’t want to meddle in energy issues, but what about inside Ukraine?
It’s a super treasure trove right now, and once P.B can become a decisive force in the situation, you could gain enormous profits from it.
In fact, you’ve already made arrangements; Aqionghan’s arms profits are your evidence of involvement…
You can’t get out of this!”
Joe Ga shook his head and said, “No, I have never conducted any form of transaction with the official side of Ukraine…
The arms buyers in Aqionghan are arms agents from various NATO countries.
They buy those arms from me and they use NATO countries’ internal aid accounts, and the final arms destination has nothing to do with me.
I know what’s there, and I might know more than you do…
But I still don’t feel qualified to navigate between two superpowers, it’s impossible, and it makes no sense…
Money is what I need the least right now!
Going to Ukraine to establish influence through war is genuinely too low-yield for P.B!
I don’t oppose utilizing your own means to make money, using our network to make money, and I can even let Gami support you to some extent, using more convenient financial methods to earn vast profits rapidly.
But my only request is that when you make money, don’t include P.B as one of your chips.”
Steven, hearing this, nodded slightly disappointed, saying, “Hu Lang, we are not simply after money, and this is something you should be most clear about.
We need to continually prove our ability to lead the team to strive for interests!
This is our most important task at this stage, otherwise, we might miss many opportunities in the midterm elections this November!
There are over four hundred seats in Congress; the seats we currently have are not enough to ensure our interests and safety.
We need to prove our ability to ‘win’ to attract more allies!
Moreover, have you considered that with the connection between P·B and the United Nations, you can’t completely extricate yourself.
Think of Gami, think of Aqionghan, these are not places you want to go…
As long as they want, they can use methods to pass a UN resolution, using humanitarianism as a bargaining chip to push P·B in.”
Steven glanced at Joe Ga, who was slightly frowning, and sighed, “Hu Lang, I don’t understand why you are so resistant to Ukraine, but maybe you should reconsider.”
Joe Ga listened, took a swig of beer, and shook his head, “Steven, buddy, all your thoughts right now are based on one foundation…
You think Russia will lose!
Everyone thinks Russia will lose!
Through sanctions on those oligarchs, the people inside Russia are panicking!
Through isolating Russia, it falls into a political deadlock…
You think the White House has a lot of cards to play, so Russia is doomed this time!” 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Then Joe Ga shook his head heavily and said, “Guys, you have to admit, I’m the one who has experienced the most wars around the world in recent years!
I have been winning continuously!
So I understand better than any of you what war is!
War is a ‘catalyst’; it completely changes a country’s political ecosystem!
The greater the political pressure exerted by the White House, the more united Russia will become internally due to the pressure.
Most oligarchs from the Silavik Group have their core interests in Russia; they won’t give in without a fight!
And I can responsibly say, the more people die in Russia, the more frenzied the internal atmosphere will become, making Boss Putin’s political position unshakable.
Right now the media guidance is fundamentally flawed, as if NATO’s conventional military aid arrives in Ukraine, that’s when Russia will surrender…
I tell you, the easier the media propaganda is now, the stronger the backlash will be then.”
Maguire, who had been silent on the side, frowned and said, “Isn’t it that serious…
NATO special forces started operating in the East half a year ago, accompanied by a large number of elite mercenaries from around the world.
Although they haven’t directly participated in the siege of the Eastern militias, they have been providing side assistance.
Progress there has always been smooth!
Hu Lang, according to the accurate intelligence I’ve received, the military reform inside Russia has caused a series of problems, significantly reducing their army’s combat effectiveness.
Once they decide to dispatch troops to Ukraine, they will be condemned worldwide…
I don’t see any chance of them winning in Ukraine under such pressure…
You might not be clear about how much manpower and resources NATO has committed, now Ukraine has a significant advantage in equipment, intelligence, logistics, and even personnel quality.”
Joe Ga laughed angrily at Maguire’s confidence…
“Since you have the upper hand, why do you still need to force Russia to intervene by shelling civilians to incorporate Ukraine into NATO through propaganda?”
Joe Ga waved his hand, gesturing for Maguire not to speak and said sarcastically, “Russia is bad, but you’re turning a blind eye to the worse Ukraine.
Does everyone think that as soon as NATO’s Heavenly Troops arrive, all problems will be solved?
Have you all gone stupid fighting police actions?
Ukraine has no air advantage, and Russia isn’t Liberia that you can block their airspace at will…
You tell me, in the last twenty years, has America won any ground war without air support above a scale of hundreds?
Brother, SEALs are formidable, Delta Force is professional too…
But based on my experience, no matter how powerful the special forces are, on a large scale battlefield where both sides have fierce artillery, their role won’t be much stronger than paratroopers.
Look at Ukraine’s soldiers, they don’t even have complete weaponry, ammunition, and bulletproof vests. Are you expecting those mercenaries who can only win easy battles to tackle hard nuts?
As far as I know, the mercenaries appearing in the East are all subcontracted down through layers, there 80% of the mercenaries can only get a monthly salary of 500 US Dollars, even the wartime daily salary hasn’t exceeded 1000 bucks.
Do you expect them to win?”
Major General Maguire was stunned for a moment and said, “Impossible, right? The intelligence I got doesn’t seem like that…”
Joe Ga listened, sighed deeply and said, “Buddy, you should have been isolated from the core circle and trapped in an information bubble.
I am more worried now…”
Eric pulled the still-wanting-to-speak Maguire aside and said solemnly, “Respecting the boss’s intuition and ability is key to getting us where we are today.
The boss has always been a winner, a winner shouldn’t be questioned…”
Eric looked at Joe Ga and said, “Boss, what exactly are you planning to do?
What do we need to do?
If something happens beyond our expectations, how should we respond?”
