King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 687 - 650: Taking Precautions

Joe Ga and Aaron's conversation lasted nearly four hours...

After nightfall, Aaron departed from the Baghdad Air Force Base in an unassuming sedan.

Joe Ga obtained all the satellite codes for the 'Stinger' missiles sold by Aaron, effectively grabbing the mercenaries by the tail.

The most pressing matter now facing Joe Ga was undoubtedly the MiG-21.

This outdated jet fighter had been phased out, but if it really took to the skies, Joe Ga's two Griffin-1 fighters would not be enough to contend with it.

It's not a level playing field; an obsolete jet fighter can still dominate propeller fighters and helicopters in the sky.

Furthermore, given the enemy's possession of dozens of Stinger Missiles, Joe Ga could not risk sending the Griffin-1s and the small antelopes into the air.

Currently, Joe Ga didn't know what weapons the MiG-21 was fitted with.

Could his "Avenger Air Defense System" handle it if moved into position?

If the enemy was using Cluster Bombs, things could get dicey without NATO forces intervening.

This situation made Joe Ga, who was accustomed to having air superiority, feel out of his element...

The first thing Joe Ga had to do now was pinpoint the location of the Armenian mercenaries, attempt to destroy their secret airfield, and then turn around to ambush the awaiting ISIS members.

The chances were slim that the mercenaries and the fighter jet would be together, but any hope was worth pursuing.

As for the "Arctic Fox Mercenaries" and the "armored group," Joe Ga felt they could be dealt with according to the situation; they weren't the priority targets.

As long as someone kept an eye on their location and the special forces confirmed the targets on the ground, the Predator drone brought by MPRI would give them a show.

These people still thought P·B was some small-time mercenary company, seriously underestimating Boss Joe!

In modern warfare, as long as the system is comprehensive, even if every single enemy soldier in Iraq were as formidable as Rambo, they couldn't dictate the course of the war.

Having figured out his course of action, Joe Ga went to the command center of the air force base.

The "command center," after a complete overhaul by Cubic Corporation, had been fully digitalized.

Cubic even brought in four radar systems to lease to the coalition forces, installed within four military bases to guard against air raids.

The lease alone for these four radar systems was 12 million dollars, not to mention renting Cubic's private satellites, unifying command and communication systems, digital conversion of military bases...

This company took away 150 million US dollars in one go from that 800 million!

Also, because MPRI brought in a drone command system, they paid 4 million dollars to Cubic for satellite rental and equipment installation fees.

And with the dragging on of the war, this cost would continue to rise.

This is the display of technical dominance, leaving no room for others to even haggle.

If it were up to Boss Joe to spend the money, he definitely wouldn't be willing.

Even if he truly wanted a logistics system, he'd seek bids from Chinese coding companies instead of extravagantly building a poor man's version of the U.S. Army's digital command chain.

When Joe Ga walked into the command center, everyone inside began to 'pretend to be busy' subconsciously.

With all sorts of advanced equipment and all kinds of incomprehensible gadgets and technical jargon, Boss Joe felt a bit dizzy.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no insignias on the uniforms here, anyone walking in would suspect this was a United State Army command center.

But in reality, the highest command here was Steven, an outsider, with technical personnel and intelligence staff from CACI who would filter all military intelligence and then let him make decisions.

Afterward, those sweet-voiced girls would convey orders to the mercenaries, and if conditions allowed, the command center would even provide a bit of external support, like drone reinforcements...

Having made the rounds in the command center, Joe Ga found Richie Barton, who was enjoying coffee with a hostage Major General from MPRI, and pulled the always-relaxed old man aside.

Joe Ga handed him a note filled with codes and whispered, "Find the location of these items through confidential channels, I don't want too many people to know."

Richie Barton looked at the note with codes in his hand, frowned, and said, "Stinger missile satellite codes? Where did you get these from?"

Joe Ga didn't answer Richie Barton but shrugged significantly with implied meaning...

Richie Barton, the old hand, understood instantly; he nodded and said, "I'll arrange it. My people can bypass the United State Army's military satellite and use civilian satellites to track the missiles' locations."

Looking at Joe Ga, Richie Barton asked, "Hu Lang, is war about to break out?"

Joe Ga smiled and nodded, saying, "The frontline has been fighting for almost two months now; I can't always hunker down in Baghdad.

The funding from NATO has arrived, but Steven is afraid to go to Mosul. Without a commanding officer to control the situation, there's always a disconnect in cooperation between the mercenary company and the Iraqi Government forces.

So, it has to be me!

But before I go, I need to eliminate any potential problems at the rear.

I've received intelligence that the enemy has a MiG-21, and I need to find it and take it down first. Then my air force and artillery can provide paid cover for everyone."
