King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 197 The Little Guy Has Great Power



Joe Ga's thinking had undergone a 180-degree transformation, altering both his perspective and his approach to problem-solving.

Initially filled with deadly intent, he came here determined to reclaim the gold that belonged to him, ready to slaughter anyone who stood in his way.

However, once the "governor and conception vessels" had been cleared, the same issues could be handled more smoothly, expanding the profits and sharing the spoils with allies.

After all, the only ones doomed were the Belgium United Mining Group, and who cared about their fate when it was their own insiders exposing them?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Joe Ga even took the time to craft a timeline, plotting out how Boykin and Braune had harbored evil thoughts due to uneven shares of the spoils and how their collaboration with terrorists had solidified their malicious intents.

There was no need to risk attacking the heavily guarded warehouse. A few men could follow De Bruyne inside, carry out the gold, and then casually throw a couple of grenades at night to make it look good and retreat.

Next, the Congo Defense Forces would fiercely battle Boykin, eventually breaking the enemy lines and receiving honors.

The Foreign Legion, arriving later as witnesses, would discover leaders of terrorists wanted by NATO, including heads of Boko Haram.

Most importantly, they confirmed the involvement of a warlord from southern Liberia, which procured for their own defense department a bargaining chip to meddle in Liberia, earning them accolades as well.

If those Frenchmen knew what was good for them, they'd negotiate with the Congolese to tweak the timeline forward, mention in the report that they too had fired shots there, and the known terrorists' heads would be sufficient for some members of the Foreign Legion to receive medals and hefty cash rewards.

In any case, this detachment of the Foreign Legion would become key witnesses, nailing Boykin and Braune to the pillar of shame.

Seizing the opportunity, the Congo Government could tighten its grip on the Belgium United Mining Company, ruthlessly extorting them.

If a few European human rights leaders were provoked to speak out, well, there was much to be exploited.

Kevin De Bruyne would become a hero celebrated for exposing evil, a persona highly favored in Europe and America. Even if he couldn't find work later, he could live comfortably off the profits from a memoir.

In the end, Joe Ga non-violently acquired what he wanted, pleasing everyone involved.

A "righteous" industrial chain emerged from the body of the Belgium United Mining Group, nourishing many.

And those nourished would hasten to finalize the matter and even inscribe it in history, securing their fame while the real mover, Joe Ga, effectively became invisible.

Having reached this understanding, Joe Ga called Eric, instructing him to short Belgium United Mining Company's stock—an opportunity to make big money.

Anyone in the industry, familiar with a securities firm, could easily borrow a large amount of United Mining's stock, sell it for cash, and wait. When United Mining's stock hit rock bottom, they could buy it back and return it, pocketing the price difference as the profit from the short sale.

According to Eric, United Mining wasn't as large as one might think; investing $50 million could indeed double the investment, earning clean money.

This was the "influence never loses rule": once you wield significant influence somewhere, you don't necessarily have to pilfer from the poor. Stay connected through empire

With the right channels and opportunities, you could gain even larger profits elsewhere. Where else could be more thrilling than the stock market?

With this information, Eric would be stirred into action, and soon negative news about United Mining would spread through Europe and America. Should United Mining attempt an investigation, they would face immense external pressure.

For such a large corporation, the best course of action at such times is to amputate decisively because allowing the negative news to spread would cause far greater losses in the financial markets than whatever they were losing in Africa.

With the Belgium Royal Family having shares in the listed company, if the stock became worthless, would the King really pay out of his pocket to support them?

This is the essence of uniting all possible alliances!

When making moves, don't just think of yourself. Don't waste the benefits you can't reap on your own; always remember to let your allies and even strangers take their share.

When you are satisfied, your allies are happy, and strangers owe you favors, similar situations in the future will be met with understanding and cooperation!

Use one breakthrough point to leverage a group of stakeholders against another group of stakeholders.

Compared to the sheer thrill of gunfire, this too is "power"—but a power of far greater influence!

It's hard for a loner to mix well, but when Joe Ga built a figurative firewall with others sharing common interests, even if someone initiated an investigation, it would eventually fizzle out, as the firewall would protect him as well as itself.

Declaring his so-called secret agent status in the restaurant wasn't just a random act.

The Congo Defense Ministry could claim any time that they had such a secret department and had long been monitoring Yakoma's situation.

As for why it was a Chinese person—it must be a little distortion in the restaurant's surveillance footage.

What? The footage is gone?

Oh, then it must be our special agent. He's just a bit paler, and the restaurant staff were too nervous at the time and might have seen wrong.
