King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1843 - 1523:
Capítulo 1843: Chapter 1523:
Joe Ga didn’t expect the cause of Jemma’s kidnapping to be a group of ‘shadowy figures’ trapped in Mariupol, and then a bunch of corrupt bastards took risks to stay alive.
This matter is quite absurd, seemingly reasonable, but everywhere it reveals malice towards Joe Ga and P·B.
Just after he announced spending heavily to buy Odessa Port, and continuously acquiring properties in Odessa, intending to establish a safe zone with UN support to ensure global food security while setting up a refuge route abroad.
The UN representative Jemma Alexander was then kidnapped by Russia’s Fifth Intelligence Bureau, and strangely ‘rescued’ by the AS camp to Mariupol.
This is definitely not a meticulously planned conspiracy but a result of adapting randomly according to the circumstances on the spot.
This world is just like a ramshackle troupe, far less meticulously planned, most are spontaneous responses to situations.
Russia’s Fifth Intelligence Bureau wanted to defect, approached NATO intelligence people, and those people conveniently found them a ‘suitable’ target.
If they simply wanted the UN to get involved, it didn’t necessarily have to be Jemma; kidnapping some staff, or a wave of civilians repeatedly posting online for rescue, could achieve the same purpose.
But those people chose Jemma, a key figure entwined with interests…
Can those so-called ‘shadowy figures’ trapped in Mariupol be as important as Jemma?
It’s impossible!
Russia spread rumors online claiming a NATO army lieutenant general was trapped in Mariupol to rally morale and gain political leverage. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
But industry insiders know high-level figures of this caliber would never personally be on the frontline fighting.
Trapped in Mariupol are just the unlucky ones who stayed in the south to help train and couldn’t evacuate in time when war broke out…
Over 400 regular troops disguised as mercenaries, plus some officers serving as observers, at most some intelligence personnel and business brokers, etc.
Risking abducting Jemma is really not as effective as bribing Russia’s front-line officers to have them let things slip a bit.
Those people still chose risk under such circumstances, because First Intelligence Bureau is a scapegoat, and they want to use the relationship between Jemma and Joe Ga to drag P·B in.
No matter whether Joe Ga chooses to follow the current political correctness to attack Russia, or goes against the trend to attack AS camp, P·B would lose the advantage it painstakingly built early on and be forced to take sides in this chaotic and inevitably divisive era.
Once taking sides, no matter which side, more than half of autonomy would be immediately lost.
Joe Ga again felt someone wants to push him into the Russia-west war situation.
Such things are hard to prevent; it’s like Joe Ga routinely messing with Glorious Society, casually dragging them down when encountered.
The goal wasn’t achieved, there’s no loss; if succeeded, everyone would be happy.
When Joe Ga discovered the enemy using his routine tactics against him, he felt amused yet understood.
These people understood him very deeply, likely past encounters, maybe even clashes.
Thinking of the current situation, even someone as calm as Joe Ga couldn’t help but sigh…
These people are really cunning!
Because even if their purpose is exposed, Joe Ga couldn’t turn against them…
Under the current propaganda offensive, pushing P·B, a uniquely positioned private military company, into Ukraine to participate in their war of liberation is absolutely politically correct in Europe and America.
It’s giving you face, giving you money-making contracts, giving you the opportunity to continue expanding influence…
In the European and American background, viewed from any angle, it’s for your own good!
If you don’t accept their goodwill, you’ll face more similar tactics later; if you still want to bite back, it’s being ungrateful, and they could find a reason to let you suffer along with Russia!
This is within the rules!
Joe Ga still doesn’t know yet that after these people push P·B into Ukraine, eventually they aim to make P·B a scapegoat in the Baltic Sea.
So he himself is puzzled, thinking these people just want to force P·B to take sides, shake its international advantage, and try to control P·B.
He couldn’t find the key point to form a closed logical loop, making it difficult to find targeted people for effective counterattack.
Joe Ga’s best countermeasure now is to rescue Jemma, then find evidence, skip over Fifth Intelligence Bureau as a scapegoat, and pull out NATO intelligence people to eliminate them.
But he feels this is still not enough; that persistent feeling of something missing and a thorn in the flesh makes him very uncomfortable.
While Joe Ga thinks, Aaron is patiently waiting…
This big shot of the gray world knows well Jemma’s importance to P·B…
Early on, it was Jemma utilizing the International Red Cross to support Joe Ga in establishing the medical system in Sangha Town, then helping build a complete medical personnel training system.
P·B’s humanitarian channel will definitely be accompanied by Jemma-led UN humanitarian aid system, later even developed into UN humanitarian materials outsourced to Jia Liang Trade, personnel safety contracted to P·B.
Leaving aside the profit here, the eco-friendly packaging industry chain for humanitarian materials on Crete provides tens of thousands of jobs.
Jemma also tried her best in the UN to cooperate with P·B in actually controlling several safe zones.
It’s not an exaggeration to say Jemma and the charitable force she represents developed along with P·B and occupied a crucial position within.
Hearing Joe Ga sigh repeatedly over the phone, Aaron patiently waited for more than ten minutes, then said, “I can have my people look into the situation in the south, maybe obtain some intelligence from NATO’s intelligence division.
You should also put some effort into intelligence, targeting Jemma will definitely aim to trip you up, and those looking to trip you are likely in America or England.
I’ll let Isa inquire at the military intelligence office, you also get your Pentagon brothers moving.
The most critical thing now is to first get Jemma out…”
Joe Ga sighed, said, “The people from the Edward Foundation kidnapped Eric, they want to negotiate with me, and they said they can resolve Jemma’s issue…”
Aaron pondered for a moment after hearing this, then said, “The people from Edward Foundation want a full-blown war with you!
What did you do?”
Aaron’s understanding of Edward Foundation far exceeds that of Joe Ga, knowing instantly Joe Ga is headed for a full-scale battle with Edward Foundation…
Joe Ga said somewhat moodily, “When attacking assassins from Ladder of Light, I encountered an acquaintance who got some accounts from the Kaufman Family, and I learned some horrifying news from him…
The people from Edward Foundation are very concerned about these accounts!”
Aaron snorted, said, “Aha, Hu Lang, you’ve hit Edward Foundation’s vital spot!
The Kaufman Family is responsible for Edward Foundation’s public fund flows, and those fund directions have always been confidential…
I’ve been investigating, but always lose clues at some key person.
The confidentiality and awareness of those people are very strong; it’s proof those fund directions are significant and cannot be revealed.
Haha, Hu Lang, you’re in trouble!
Negotiation is just an excuse for delay, maybe even a trap!
Hu Lang, once Edward Foundation decides to fight you to the finish, they’re off-the-rule players, will utilize measures you can imagine and even beyond imagination.
You’re in trouble!”
Joe Ga, not too pleased, said, “I know my situation very well, I just want to hear your opinion, do you think Edward Foundation has the capability to interfere in Jemma’s kidnapping case?
Their intentions clearly differ from the interest groups wanting to push me into Ukraine.
Do you think they can persuade those people to release Jemma?”
Aaron paused in silence for a while, then said, “Among the shadowy figures trapped in Mariupol, some individuals are important, they are high-levels from the Lake Belga Foundation.
You should understand, if Edward Foundation can persuade those people to change the established plan, then you’re really in danger!
Because only your death constitutes ‘greater interest’!
And this is not merely persuading those people to achieve, they also have to persuade Russia to open a passage…”
Saying this, Aaron suddenly paused, said, “Something’s not right…
Wait for me a few hours, I have to make some calls to verify information…”
