King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 577 - 555: Major Event

Joe Ga watched Aaron smile as he terminated the communication and knew that his guess wasn't completely accurate.

Aaron had already provided a lot of information, and Joe Ga had no right to demand that he disclose all the intelligence.

Moreover, Aaron had already given enough hints!

Because for the current P·B, Madeline was just a hostile sniper, not a significant figure—if encountered, simply kill her on the spot; if not, it didn't really matter.

Joe Ga wasn't one for needless mystification, nor was he going to guess whether Aaron was playing some psychological game with him…

Mr. Joe considered problems from a different angle than most—he liked to think from the perspectives of others.

He felt that if he were Aaron, then avoiding talking about Madeline would be because she was important, and because he didn't want P·B to get entangled in the matter.

Not wanting P·B to get involved certainly wasn't about worrying for Mr. Joe's safety, but rather about fearing that P·B's involvement would affect his future actions.

Joe Ga had long guessed that the missing uranium material would eventually become Aaron's bargaining chip.

But now Aaron said that ISIS had already sent the dirty bomb to Europe…

Revealing such a critical bargaining chip was almost the same as directly asking Mr. Joe to report it.

Protecting the interests of Europeans was not Aaron's style.

So, the only plausible reason he wanted Joe Ga to report it was that the uranium used in the dirty bomb wasn't all there was—there was more, and that was Aaron's real target.

Moreover, Joe Ga was now certain that this other part of the uranium could be processed into a much more powerful weapon.

Aaron could only enhance his place in the arms dealer ranks by eradicating ISIS's leverage with the dirty bomb and might also gain access to more information.

This guy probably already knew what ISIS intended to do but likely didn't know exactly how they would proceed, using Mr. Joe's exposé as a means likely intended to stir the snake out of its hole.

If that Basavich had a connection to the dirty bomb, then could Madeline, whom Aaron purposefully ignored, be associated with the remaining uranium?

Speaking with someone like Aaron was genuinely mentally taxing; when the guy started speaking in circles, if you couldn't keep up, you'd end up being manipulated.

There's no shame in that—a mature person can't expect honesty from others when core interests are involved, as it not only shows naivety but is also impolite.

Joe Ga confirmed that Aaron bore no ill will towards him, just like he had once used power to pressure Aaron into collaborating with him.

They weren't really competitiors in the same race; competition wasn't even the right word. Where their interests occasionally overlapped, they were able to silently cooperate, ensuring mutual benefits for all involved.

Joe Ga was entirely forthright with Aaron because there was nothing in his actions that needed to be hidden.

And Aaron had even entrusted his wife to Joe Ga!

This was an understanding that could only be grasped and not conveyed in words!

Now, Madeline might be tied to Aaron's core interests, so he was reluctant to elaborate, only circumlocutively making his stance clear.

Having understood Aaron's hints, Joe Ga was now considering whether or not to give this guy a push.

Seeing Aaron's attitude, it was clear that he was resolved to be the fisherman, utterly indifferent to the involvement of intelligence agencies from the British Isles, France, or even America.

The fact that Madeline was connected to the dirty bomb made her a target that must be captured alive.

Joe Ga estimated that whether Madeline escaped or was captured by the intelligence agencies, Aaron, this bastard, would find a way to connect with her.

This guy's strongest suit was indeed going with the flow to achieve his goals.

Sometimes, Joe Ga even felt like this guy was a 'twin' of his own.

However, while he chose to walk under the sun, Aaron opted to walk a tightrope in the shadows.

They both excelled at leveraging enormous interests from a single entry point.

But while Joe Ga liked to involve many people to share the difficulties and benefits, Aaron was always alone.

Aaron was definitely not a good person, but Joe Ga thought that, regardless of what ISIS intended to do with the uranium, it was better off in Aaron's hands than in those terrorists'.

Although Joe Ga was still unclear about Madeline's identity after talking to Aaron, he had more or less figured out the situation and understood why the British were so anxious.

Aaron provided the news of the dirty bomb and told Joe Ga to ask the French for a favor, which almost amounted to telling him that there was at least one dirty bomb in France.

Just look at a map to see that heading north from Tubruq leads to Greece, with Italy in the northwest direction.

If you pass through the strait between Tunisia and Balmoral and continue northwest for two days, you would reach the extensive coastline of France.

Sending the dirty bomb to Greece makes no sense; the government of that wretched place had once gone bankrupt and begged for aid, certainly not a good target for threats, as their politicians lack sufficient influence.

Heading north through Greece to Albania, North Macedonia, or Kosovo isn't feasible either; these unstable places aren't suited for transporting such an important weapon through such a dangerous route.

Thus, the best choice is to go through Italy, either crossing into NATO's core nation, Germany, by land or reaching Balmoral, a stronghold of Africa Daddy, by sea.

Joe Ga felt that anyone with a bit of intelligence wouldn't put all their eggs in one basket.

The three dirty bombs should be transported separately; Germany and France are good targets.

As for the remaining 'lucky one', Joe Ga couldn't yet determine.

The most likely was the British Isles; since they were already onboard, taking a detour through the Strait of Gibraltar heading north would allow direct access to the British Isles—having cared for Germany and France, there was no reason to spare England.

Joe Ga didn't know if his guesses were correct, but these matters had nothing to do with him.

Frankly, a few dirty bombs couldn't scare Boss Joe; such things only had deterrence power in developed cities.

The explosion wouldn't kill many people, but the radioactive materials sprayed by the explosion would create a large area unfit for human habitation.

Imagine a dirty bomb exploding in the central region of Paris or the central area of the British Isles; multimillion-dollar properties would instantly become worthless rubbish, with tens or even hundreds of thousands of people homeless needing resettlement—that scene...

In Joe Ga's eyes, any place in Europe where real estate prices were below 10,000 US Dollars didn't even deserve to be bombed.

It must be near a landmark building or a financial business center to create the greatest threat.

Terrorists would definitely not choose an unknown small town as their target, because when the losses are acceptable, the governments of big countries do not negotiate with terrorists.

In Central Africa, such an unlucky place, a dirty bomb explosion wouldn't cause too much damage; at worst, just find a new place to start over. How much can building houses cost?

Having thought through everything while sitting alone in a room, Joe Ga stepped out the door while pressing the communicator to contact Tony...

"Hey, Tony, find a way to leak the information to that France observer.

France is our ally too; I need them to know the identity of that Basavich bomber and Madeline, the English spy."

The communicator on the other end startled Tony for a moment before he excitedly said, "Yes sir!

Boss, does this count as fieldwork?

Thompson said that the salary for field agents starts at level 10, and I'm only at level 8..."

Joe Ga was amused by Tony's tone and cheerfully said, "You have to ask your chief Thompson about that, but if you pull this task off and poach a few technicians from the CIA, I'll talk to Thompson..."

"Yes sir!!

Don't worry, boss, I know a few of them; we graduated from the training center together, I'm sure I can convince them."

As he spoke, Tony lowered his voice and whispered, "Boss, their spirits have always been low, supposedly stuck in some bigwig's affair, some of the girls cry out of fear every day.

I think they're kind of in the same boat as I was..."

Hearing Tony's hint, Joe Ga jokingly cursed, "I had nothing to do with that, nor did I ever coerce you guys, did I?"

"That you didn't!"

"Then that's settled. I'm such a generous boss; if you're not following me, who will you follow?

Get moving now, I'll handle the people from England; you need to get the French mobilized quickly.

Whether or not I can get some benefits from them depends on you."

Tony was a smart guy. His own boss alone had difficulty handling the British, but with the French involved and not being on the same page as the British, there was room for negotiation.

Tony did not realize that his boss wanted to use his mouth to alert the French, then have France Security come to them, ultimately scoring a huge favor.

Regardless of the final outcome, the role of the good guy had to be played by P.B., and it had to be done with much fanfare; no one could sneak around about it.

After hanging up the communicator, the clear-headed Joe Ga again confirmed the condition of two wounded officers with the Devil Bird, and after receiving an optimistic response, he slowly headed upstairs, loudly calling Old Niu to prepare dinner...

Seeing the SAS squad cornered by Ayu and still in full armor, Joe Ga approached as if he just noticed them, frowned, patted Ayu on the arm, and said, "How can you treat our friends like this?"

Addressing 'Knight', Joe Ga said, "Sorry, I was a bit busy just now. Are you here to support? Too bad you're a bit late..."

'Knight' stood up looking gloomy and saluted before saying, "Sir, let's not beat around the bush. I have orders to capture two fugitives.

Sir, we are comrades; I would like to ask you..."

Joe Ga gestured to stop 'Knight' from continuing and then said with a smile, "Even if action is to be taken, it has to be at night. The bomber Basavich has already been taken down by Devil Bird, leaving only Madeline Parker.

They say she's a super spy trained by your intelligence service, charging into a terrorist-controlled zone in broad daylight is no different from suicide.

Wait here, and after dinner, we'll go in; we've already marked a potential hideout. We'll cover for you when you move in."

'Knight' really didn't expect Joe Ga to be so easy to talk to. After a pause, he looked at Joe Ga and said, "Sir, I truly appreciate your understanding!"

Joe Ga waved nonchalantly and replied, "Your thanks are a bit premature, but I certainly deserve them..."
