Chapter 1111: The World Needs P·B
Joe Ga stood next to a Milos Armored Vehicle, watching a group of workers slowly enclosing the vacant factory area he was in with barbed wire.
More than 300 trucks slowly drove into the factory, and soon soldiers pushed mobile conveyors to quickly unload the goods from the trucks.
The factory area, which spans hundreds of hectares, still requires time to be fully enclosed, and the internal buildings such as warehouses need repairs and extensions, so the materials are temporarily piled up in the open-air grounds.
The Yemen region has little rain, so there is no immediate concern of problems from storing the materials outdoors.
Years of war have left the local people here struggling to survive, and in such an environment, the factory has ceased operations; anything useful inside was taken away...
From machinery to streetlights, even the wires in the walls were stripped out...
Joe Ga wasn't bothered by the poor environment here, as a blank canvas is easier to paint on anyway.
Watching the fierce factions of Taizz meet outside the factory in a tense standoff, Joe Ga nonchalantly shook his head and spoke into the radio, "Let them send representatives…"
Joe Ga would never admit it, but the fact that he couldn't stay idle in Mukalla is what drove him to find work…
No one knows when it started, but "the boss doesn't go into battle" became a catchphrase circulating in Mukalla!
Those commercial mercenaries responsible for infiltrating the city to combat terrorists were so eager to take on tasks on the Ding Ding System, fearing Joe Ga might steal the spotlight, that Joe Ga couldn't find any opportunities at all…
Now Joe Ga, let alone being near the city limits of Mukalla, was rejected even when trying to stay with the synthesis camp for a couple of days.
He went to the northern air force base, hoping to hitch a ride on the gun trucks of Battalion N for some field action against terrorists, but within half a day received a call from Xie Changgui of Northern Industries…
This guy, with utmost humility, begged Joe Ga to spare Battalion N and go mess with other synthesis camps instead…
It's not that this guy was daring, but because he's a sponsor representative, when he speaks, Joe Ga doesn't curse.
Also, once Joe Ga boarded, the South American soldiers unfamiliar with him suddenly didn't know what to do.
Not only those South American soldiers, but the command center was also bewildered…
Then Battalion N, during a siege against a cross-border force, behaved like a headless chicken.
The command center repeatedly encouraged the gunners to fire at the enemy from a kilometer away, the outcome of which Joe Ga wasn't clear, but all the shells were used up.
Seeing that Joe Ga's vehicle had run out of ammunition, the people in the command center of the Bathtub immediately called in the artillery, using a few precise rounds to send the enemy packing, and then urged Battalion N to return to the defensive line.
This became meaningless…
The battles around Mukalla had already been fully underway, and Joe Ga's intervention only added to the chaos, so he simply arranged work for himself.
Besides his own restless urge to move around, Joe Ga's temporary departure from Mukalla had another significant reason…
Ever since the secure zone announced it would hand over the Israeli prisoners to the Syrian Government, the Israelis had begun to act frantically.
In the past few days, not only have some suspicious persons appeared near the Syrian Secure Zone, but in Djibouti, there are people too…
This put the political initiative into the hands of the Syrian Government, making the Israelis extremely nervous!
Most don't know that there is a severe territorial dispute between Syria and Israel.
The Golan Heights, occupied by Israel, is Syrian territory; they claim this area is crucial to Israel's national security, so they have consistently refused to return it, establishing numerous Jewish settlements there.
Syria is indeed terribly weak, but that doesn't mean they are willing to acknowledge the loss of territory.
Their civil war is one matter, but having territory occupied by Israel is a different concept.
Now Joe Ga has handed political leverage to the Syrian Government. When the Doctor-President faced media questions, he first sternly condemned Israel's lawlessness, then reiterated Syria's ownership of the Golan Heights, and stated they would legally punish those brutes invading Syrian territory…
This made Israel extremely uncomfortable!
They couldn't engage Syria in a war of words over this because the Golan Heights is Syrian territory!
But if they don't respond, they'll face Syria exploiting those prisoners to continuously slap them in the face. The more media attention, the louder the slap.
If such things can't be kept low-key, with the current politically correct trends in Europe and America, public opinion may become overwhelmingly one-sided.
So they made two preparations: the operation to rescue the prisoners and the effort to lobby Joe Ga were undertaken simultaneously…
A United States Congress special advisor named Brin flew to Djibouti, and by the time he arrived, the Zumwalt had gone silent, no longer responding to the commands from the headquarters.
This situation made many people nervous, especially unsettling Joe Ga…
The Zumwalt was very useful, but when it stopped listening to orders and began acting strangely, Joe Ga felt as if a gun was being pointed at his head…
He knew the Zumwalt wouldn't dare fire at him, but some things couldn't be gambled on, so he simply led the team away from the Mukalla range.
That guy named Brin wanted to talk to Joe Ga, but such a demonstrative approach infuriated Joe Ga.
