King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Boss Joe didn't explicitly say it, but even if Donahue's political sensitivity is low, he understood...

Boss Joe has a surprisingly unique angle on solving problems!

When encountering troubles, trying to solve them shouldn't always be about finding objective reasons and then exhausting yourself on matters that you can't personally change; that can be very tiring.

Sometimes it's more beneficial to become the 'trouble' rather than facing the problem alone.

Donahue can make himself the 'trouble' because the position Boss Joe placed him in determined that fulfilling the Pentagon's consumption target would be very challenging, and thus he became the 'trouble'.

The solution to the trouble is to upgrade the equipment for the synthetic battalion he controls!

The Apache fleet is still undergoing adaptive training in Djibouti. Once the Stryker Armored Vehicle's poor performance is exposed, the Pentagon will have the opportunity to push for more military aid.

If the Stryker doesn't work, I'll give you the Bradley Fighting Vehicles.

America has them at the base in Germany. It won't take long to ship them over, and you just need to ensure they are destroyed after use!

Big Mouth Tang's sudden inspection caught everyone off guard, causing many to panic.

As a part of the military-industrial complex, General Group will definitely bear some responsibility, or else they will have severe trouble afterward.

These people not only want the war in Yemen to drag on, but they are also planning to open up new battlefields.

Because only war can make bad debts disappear!

When Donahue led the NATO coalition to Mosul, he called upon America's air force to drop thousands of bombs on Mosul.

All parties knew that those so-called precision-guided, high-power missiles were actually just old aerial bombs with a new coat of paint!

This led to the early stages of the Mosul battle, where Donahue had to use lives, particularly from the NATO forces, to fill the gaps.

Now Donahue is encountering a similar problem, only this time the main person in charge is Boss Joe, and his position has partially changed...

He is using the situation to force the Pentagon to deliver quality military aid through special funding.

General Group must cooperate and also use people like Aaron to raid Al-Qaeda to subsidize P·B's consumption here.

This kind of thing Boss Joe can't conveniently explain clearly to Donahue, but he believes Donahue already roughly understands.

Looking at the helpless expressions on the surrounding young generals, Joe Ga smiled and said, "Guys, don't put on such faces. We all actually know what's going on with the Pentagon, but it's not an individual's problem; it's a systemic issue.

Hating them is meaningless because you can't do anything about them!

Think about our brotherhood...

You might not be willing to associate with those greedy bastards at the top of the Pentagon, but the best approach isn't to distance yourself from them, but to find a way to replace them.

If one day you can wield enough power, with the help of the brotherhood, you can change part of the current situation...

You are a qualified military officer, an excellent general with commanding skills!

Your task is to exert your abilities in the right place, so everyone knows you are a true commander, that way during critical moments, you can assume greater responsibilities.

With enough accolades on you, at crucial times, whether people like you or not, they won't set obstacles for you..."

Donahue listened, nodded solemnly, and said, "Thank you, sir!

I understand everything, I'll make some adjustments to S camp and P camp...

Rebuilding on the ruins and showing it to the people of Mukalla is also part of your plan, isn't it?"

Joe Ga gave a thumbs up and smiled, saying, "That's right!

I plan to build a huge trade market on that ruin site, where there will not only be seafood trade in the future but also cheap goods and materials from overseas.

By then, a lot of job opportunities will be created, attracting people from the city to work, and building connections with locals through commodity trade...

So your current task is very important!

Whether we can take Mukalla in half a year without as much harm to civilians depends on the effectiveness of that market after its formation.

Fighting and killing are just means that can solve immediate problems but will ignite more derivative problems."

Joe Ga said, looking at the slightly confused Donahue, he laughed, "Do you know why you messed up in Vietnam, Iraq, and Aqionghan?

Because of your colonial mindset, you never thought from the perspective of what others need.

You truly don't care about the life and death of people in other countries, you just want the world to function as you need it to.

I am different. Whenever I arrive in a place, I first look at issues from the locals' perspective, so I know what they need...

Then I can find one or many common goals in it!

Buddy, we are on the same side, I can honestly tell you, I may gain a sense of achievement or honor in Yemen, perhaps even becoming idolized and worshiped.

But the material benefits we gain in people's recognition here in Yemen are actually very little for P·B now.

I have no demands on the locals of Yemen. I can, with a clear conscience, say I am here to help them!

Their lives improving allows me to gain what I want from other places!"

Donahue struggled to keep up with the jump in Boss Joe's thoughts; he smiled wryly and said, "I understand some things, but I've got more questions now.

Sir, I will follow your orders, maybe after everything is over, I'll understand what I was previously missing…"

Joe Ga liked Donahue, this somewhat rigid academic commander. He patted Donahue's arm and smiled, saying, "Buddy, your capabilities are enough!

Compared to those bastards in high positions, the only thing you might lack is an extraordinary family background.

Some things you only suddenly realize when you sit in that seat yourself, that the issues those bastards consider are completely different from the ones you used to think about, and having power really is quite thrilling...

But now, with the support of the Brotherhood, you will eventually reach that point!

When you truly succeed one day, then consider whether to join them or change them...

I promise I will definitely stand by your side!

I assure you that even in the worst-case scenario, you and your family will have a place to settle down, living a life with dignity!"

Donahue was deeply moved!

A reputable bigwig stood up and told him, I'm here to back up your life and career.

This feeling is like when a poor kid is facing a life decision, and a rich dad suddenly appears and tells him...

Kid, follow your heart, you can do whatever you want, I will definitely support you.

If you can't achieve that last billion-dollar goal, I'll give you a large flat and an Audi, and you can live an ordinary life.

There were many people present, and Donahue couldn't show his excitement openly. He reached out and shook Joe Boss's hand firmly, and said seriously, "Sir, I will remember what you said to me..."

Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "I'm just giving you some advice. How you proceed in the future depends on you...

The Brotherhood is a support group for small figures in the military, and reaching where it is today has been really difficult.

You and Maguire are the two highest-ranking members of the Brotherhood...

Minister Carter is implicated by the Aqionghan issue and will soon be kicked out of his position as Secretary of Defense.

Maguire is interested in competing for the Secretary of Defense position next year...

But I know he's different from you. Maguire is a political animal, while you are a true soldier.

The people in the Brotherhood are all soldiers, and they need someone like you to lead them!"

After speaking, Joe Ga turned in another direction, waving his hand, and said, "Some positions, once you get a taste of them, change a person.

Not become enemies, but naturally change the stance from which they consider issues.

The power in his hands will become his bargaining chip to make connections with the powerful, and he won't focus on the Brotherhood the way he did in the past...

This isn't even about character, but rather what the job requires.

After all, an officer with a background is certainly more useful than a Brotherhood member with no support...

In the future, you'll face similar choices. I just hope that by then, you can arrange a path for the Brotherhood in advance, to choose a new qualified leader for those brothers who climbed up from the bottom with no support."

The seemingly casual words of Joe Boss left Donahue dumbfounded for a long time...

Until his assistant came to find him, he finally snapped out of it...

Looking at Joe Boss joking with others not far away, Donahue nodded with a complex expression and then shook his head before turning to his assistant, and said, "Anthony, would you be willing to work at an overseas base for a while after we return this time?

I know there's a good position in the Philippines..."

Joe Ga didn't pay attention to the situation between Donahue and his assistant. After congratulating Qing Shan, he found his Talus technical support team...

He hugged the team leader Antar, then hooked Tony and Curry's necks, laughing as he said, "Great job, tomorrow let's let our No. 4 airship take off and replace No. 2.

This time I've added 12 Springblades on it, from now on you can be counted as combat power too!"

Tony happily high-fived Curry in celebration, then looked at Joe Ga and said, "Boss, can our salaries be raised a level too?

Our expenses have been quite large recently..."

Joe Ga gave Tony a sidelong glance, scoffing as he said, "Dream on. Without Thompson agreeing to sign your raise report, I won't give you an increase."

Upon hearing this, Tony sighed and said, "Boss, Thompson is like a menopausal HR right now.

I feel he's definitely unhappy about you leaving him in America, so he's not happy with us promising youths either."

Joe Ga looked at Tony with a smile and said, "So you have to work harder to make sure Thompson can't find any faults.

You will eventually become a department leader too. Imagine if your subordinates bypassed you to come directly to me for a raise, how would you feel?"

Joe Boss has an innate knack for promising things...

Tony was momentarily stunned, then exchanged a glance with Curry, and excitedly said, "Boss, the work in the command center isn't overwhelming, Owl and her operators can handle it.

Let us go ashore, we can do more there..."

Joe Ga listened and nodded with a smile, saying, "In a few days, the hospital by West Mukalla has been taken over...

By then, I'll put someone named Muto in charge there, and you can establish an electronic information station inside the hospital.

West Mukalla will be the entrance for the hirelings to come in, and you'll be responsible for providing them with some technical assistance.

I'll be there then too...

As long as you do well, there's no reason for Thompson not to sign your raise report..."

When Tony heard the boss would go ashore, he exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, can we also enter the city to fight the terrorists?"

Joe Ga gave a mysterious smile and said, "Our target isn't the terrorists, we'll be facing some enemies that are even more dangerous and thrilling..."
