MTLNOVEL Chapter 1097: Upholding Honor
No one on the Bath Tub expected that despite Joe Ga's immense advantage, he stopped after taking the dock and the airport...
A group of mercenaries decked out in designer gear were driven to the dock area...
They temporarily had no attack missions but served as security for the dock's slum, assisting the Lion Squad in registering the population and distributing supplies.
A group of Lion Squad soldiers who looked fierce were actually doing the world's most compassionate work...
They appeared intimidating, but as long as you confirmed that there were no weapons in your home, they would provide supplies that the locals hadn't seen in years.
They patiently waited for the slum dwellers to pack their belongings, and even helped set up temporary tents for them when they took too long...
This wasn't just because of the boss's orders; it was more because they once had nothing themselves.
The sense of honor is the most addictive thing; once soldiers get used to collective honor, they start unconsciously applying it to all their actions in life.
The Lion Squad soldiers, who had climbed up from the bottom, cherished what they now had more than anyone.
Although they were accustomed to life and death, under the influence of the P·B group, they gradually developed their own 'corporate culture'!
This perseverance, found in the midst of humility, gave birth to a loyalty and courage that transcended human nature.
They dared to fight the world, yet they could bow their heads to the poor!
When a group of P·B cooks came ashore, the atmosphere at the entire dock started to move toward more harmony.
After all, the Lion Squad were still soldiers; they hadn't undergone systematic public engagement training. The orders from the boss and their spontaneous actions always lacked systemic organization.
However, when Solon and the veteran squad leaders arrived, their loud voices and crude yet kind-hearted gestures quickly stabilized the somewhat restless atmosphere.
Compared to the P·B soldiers, the designer-clad mercenaries seemed extremely awkward because they couldn't adapt or didn't understand.
Kindness moves people!
These top experts supported by major companies were not the type to value money over life like wild dogs of war.
They might not be able to do what the P·B soldiers did, yet they were still willing to lend a hand to the dock slum.
Unfortunately, their bosses and sponsors wouldn't allow it...
Some quick-witted ones would arrange for people to stage photoshoots of mercenaries helping the poor and post them online...
However, this kind of thing couldn't stand up to comparison; it didn't fool the keen-eyed netizens, nor did it sit well with the mercenaries posed for the photos.
A sense of honor can spread among people too...
They found it embarrassing!
A large number of mercenaries preferred to fight rather than engage in such bullshit!
Often, they didn't mind lending a hand in the slum, helping the poor do something in exchange for a thank you.
But those capitalists ruined it all!
From landing operations to bringing the dock slum under control, Joe Ga took a total of 40 days.
The synthetic battalion landed, logistics moved in, the temporary base at the dock area was established, and the slum changed fundamentally...
In just forty days, Boss Joe taught everyone on the Bath Tub a lesson!
The logistics capabilities honed in Liberia, Iraq, and Syria left everyone awed!
P·B soldiers, right under everyone's noses, managed to integrate the entire slum using all sorts of improvisational methods.
The food was communal meals; they didn't have much but relied on being rich in flavor!
The houses were prefab, simple structures, though they wouldn't last long, yet they were new and indeed neat and pretty.
The clothes were secondhand goods procured from China...
They set up regional bus lines with seized trucks; although the safety was debatable, at least they were free!
More than a thousand marginalized people from Mukalla were forcibly integrated into P·B's orbit, with some starting to work for P·B.
Joe Ga had his own rhythm. Having made an excellent initial strike, he wouldn't blindly continue but would, step by step, press down on Al-Qaeda's hold on Mukalla by reinforcing the foundation.
However, while Joe Ga wasn't anxious, others were starting to get nervous...
The Northern Camp and Yugoyinbot Camp were sent to the back to assist the Special Operations Team in defending the air force airport...
The two general camps were placed east of Mukalla, cutting off its connection with the eastern city.
The camps from France and Italy were stationed to the west, serving the same purpose.
Cutting off Mukalla's connections with the outside world, as P·B established a foothold, they slowly wore down the internal terrorists' will to resist.
It was supposed to be a good thing!
But P·B's Lion Squad and the cook team, with their simple operations, showcased to the world P·B's core secret...
They turned war into everyday life!
Once upon a time, war meant death and destruction, but after the first day, the war that the outside world saw had changed...
It was more humane!
The dominant CEO Ahtu became famous, as a video of him coldly tearing down houses was circulated online, yet he was still thanked by several grandmothers...
A video of a cook wielding a large ladle, cursing while filling the bowls of the poor, and then urging them to quickly find work also went viral...
