King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 709 - 662: The Surrendering Accountant
Joe Ga was baffled by Thompson, pointing to his nose and said curiously, "Me? I haven't paid attention to Jack Heinz's news for a long time!"
Thompson rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Boss, everything is connected.
You should have your friend Steven ask his colleagues at the State Department.
The intelligence officer from Chris had brought us too much information, and I haven't sorted it all out completely.
I didn't care before, but I checked just now, and based on NATO's troop movements these past couple of days, America seems to be making some deal with Turkey."
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga frowned and said, "What does this have to do with me?
What does it have to do with 'Accountant' coming to me?"
Thompson said smilingly, "Jack Heinz is on a plane to Iraq right now, 'Iceman' said the Pentagon has approached him...
Sir, NATO wouldn't dare to start a war with ISIS until they've located the three dirty bombs.
But if they allow ISIS to post online videos of them killing Halliburton employees, it will eventually raise public suspicion, because compromising with ISIS is not America's style.
At first, I thought they would approach those mercenary groups to send people into Syria, but now I know they seem not to trust mercenary outfits, so they're recruiting what they consider to be good hands, and Jack Heinz is one of them.
It's simply unrealistic to save people and cross the border without support, so Jack Heinz will enter Syria for reconnaissance and then guide air strikes..."
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga frowned and said, "Where are they getting..."
Joe Ga slapped his forehead and said, "The Turks...
Shit, America must have made an agreement with the Turks, turning a blind eye to their attacks on the Kurds, and then letting Turkey perform a large-scale air raid with their big heads.
The place was originally Kurdish territory, so if it gets bombed, they can say it was a mistake...
FUCK, this time it's not just ISIS that's going to be unlucky, the Kurds are too!"
Thompson nodded and said, "In theory, yes, because apart from the Turks, no one else has any reason to fight over that area."
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga rubbed his temples hard and said, "So, you're saying Jack Heinz has abandoned pursuing Harlotte to accept a suicide mission.
'Mistaken bombing' can only happen once; even if he luckily survives the bombardment, he would face an ISIS siege in a foreign land.
'Accountant' suddenly appearing means he wants to use 'the tarnish list' as a bargaining chip to seek my help, to find a slight chance of survival for Jack Heinz!"
With a frown, Joe Ga said, "'Accountant' holds a lot of dirt on the big shots in the army; why didn't he simply figure out a way to make Jack Heinz pull out of the mission?"
............
"Because Jack is a stubborn man who sees honor as his life...
When people approach him using national security and the lives of compatriots as justification, he simply can't refuse!
And he's in agony. 'Smoker' and 'Syringe''s fate in Sangha Town has made him break down several times; I think he's longed for death already!"
In the interrogation room, 'Long Legs', wearing only underwear and tied to a chair with restraining straps, looked at Joe Ga with extreme helplessness and said, "Sir, could you untie me and let me go to the restroom?
I've already wet the seat cushion, and you definitely don't want to see a worse situation happen."
Joe Ga wouldn't listen to this guy's nonsense. He scoffed and said, "'Smoker' and 'Syringe' are now serving their sentence under Central African law, and it was Jack Heinz who took them there.
They got what they deserved!
But indeed, Jack Heinz should feel guilty because he pulled two retired soldiers from their peaceful lives into a brutal battlefield, causing them to lose their futures...
I gave Jack the chance to off that bastard Harlotte to atone for Smoker and Syringe, but that guy was no good…"
'Long Legs' shifted his buttocks uncomfortably and then looked at Joe Ga with a strange expression and said, "Sir, Jack was just blinded by hatred...
Don't forget, you killed Jack's father and several uncles, leaving the Heinz Family with only Jack.
Sir, Jack didn't kill any innocent person in Central Africa; in fact, they were always on the receiving end of the assaults; he has already been punished enough!"
Joe Ga laughed scornfully and shook his head, "They wanted to attack my gold mine where all the people are innocent.
It's even more embarrassing to commit a crime and fail to beat the opponent!
And attempted acts of terrorism are still crimes!
Mr. 'Accountant', don't you find that especially ironic?
In New York, I was the good guy, working for the DEA, and his dead old man was the bad one, working for the Glorious Society.
I was the soldier; he was the bandit. Wasn't it righteous of me to take him down?
When Jack came for revenge, I accepted without a word; now that you've all lost, you're coming to me talking about honor, right and wrong, innocence, isn't that a bit shameless?"
'Long Legs' said helplessly, "Sir, I am merely honestly explaining Jack's situation. You have a psychologist who has been following him; you should understand him better than I do.
No one in this world is perfect, and Jack is no exception!
Sir, 'Accountant' has obligations towards the Heinz Family!
To be honest, I've been sick of this job for a long time...
Because of this 'Accountant' job, I had to give up long-distance running to join the army, and then when I got used to it, I had to retire from the Marine Corps and come back home to take over this damned job.
I hate this job because it has taken my life from me!
But I can't stand by and watch the last Heinz go meet his death...
The Heinz and Hoyl families have been interdependent partners for generations.
My ancestors made a promise to keep secrets for the Heinz Family and enjoyed decades of provision.
"I can't just watch Jack walk into certain death!"
After hearing this, Joe Ga stroked his chin and looked at 'Long Legs', saying, "When you were undercover at P·B, Jack was still hunting down Harlotte.
Tell me, if it hadn't been for Jack's situation, what would you have wanted to do while undercover at P·B?"
'Long Legs' replied sullenly, "To avoid Thompson, that bastard's manhunt, and at the same time, find a chance to rescue 'Smoker' and 'Needle'."
As he spoke, 'Long Legs' cautiously glanced at Karman behind Joe Ga and lowered his head, saying, "If possible, I wanted to find some leverage to end this lopsided war!"
Joe Ga looked at 'Long Legs' coldly and asked, "Like what?"
'Long Legs' looked up at Joe Ga, trying to appear braver, but the pain in his stomach made it hard to concentrate...
"I checked all the information available about P·B, but when I arrived in Tubruq, I found everything in those documents was true.
I have to admit, I was disappointed!
Sir, can you let me visit the restroom first, and then could I get a different stool?
I know what Thompson wants, and I can give it to you, but in return, I want to ask you to help Jack.
He's not perfect, but he doesn't deserve to die!"
The straightforward nature of 'Long Legs' response pleased Joe Ga, who turned and nodded at Dorian, saying, "Take this 'Accountant' to the restroom..."
Dorian stepped forward and cut the zip ties on 'Long Legs' with a dagger, then said with disdain, "You don't look anything like a tough guy..."
'Long Legs', clutching his stomach, stood up and walked with difficulty toward the door, saying, "Buddy, even a tough guy crapping on a stool isn't a good look.
I've surrendered, and we are not enemies, so why make it so unpleasant?"
Joe Ga watched 'Long Legs' leave and turned to Karman, saying, "Do you think we can trust what he's saying?"
Karman shrugged indifferently, "He's the one who should be worried!"
Hearing this, Joe Ga laughed heartily and said, "That's true. P·B is the enemy of ISIS, they don't care about pulling off another job.
And Sice we don't have to risk our own guys, who cares? The priority is to get the dirt from 'Long Legs' first.
Eric has returned to America now, we have big things to do, we need as much power as possible.
The Haliburton Company is connected to that old witch Rashiri, which gives us a great opportunity to add to her troubles..."
Joe Ga spoke cryptically, but in reality, he wanted to use the election to get Thompson and Eric to consolidate the people on the 'blacklist'.
In the past, Joe Ga simply wanted to do a favor for those burdened with 'Heinz Family debts.'
Now the situation was different, the American election was a great opportunity to display strength and create benefits.
You do someone a favor, then pull them aboard to share the spoils together, this was the fastest way to consolidate a network of interests.
Don't worry about the future for now, first, unite everyone.
Once they get used to the power and convenience of unity, the rest will be easy.
Everyone for everyone, a splendid motto for any organization, right?
Americans love their fraternities. Eric definitely can handle this...
Karman, who didn't understand politics shook his head slightly and said, "I don't get all that, I just worry you'll get bogged down here.
Boss, Africa is your foundation; you shouldn't neglect it!"
Joe Ga was amused by Karman's bouts of homesickness...
The old guy was worried that as the business grew, the boss would forsake Central Africa and shift his attention elsewhere, hence he often issued reminders.
Joe Ga didn't bother explaining; he thought it was actually quite good that the old man was rediscovering his passion—it was beneficial for him and for Boss Qiao.
How could Joe Ga possibly abandon Central Africa and Sangha Town!
Eric had a classic assessment of P·B: without those cheap soldiers who cost almost nothing, P·B simply couldn't sustain itself.
This statement wasn't entirely accurate at the current stage, but it hit at the core of Joe Ga's philosophy.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
Because he was someone who believed in a sense of honor and conviction, with his current strength, only Central Africa could provide that kind of manpower, meeting P·B's expansion needs.
The special forces were excellent, but their sense of honor also required accompanying wealth.
Joe Ga was not stingy with money, but he felt that hired mercenaries always lacked zeal...
He didn't have time to 'nurture' the upcoming teams as he had done with Teams B, C, D, and E.
So, even when short on personnel, P·B's recruitment remained very restrained; Boss Qiao even began to try outsourcing part of the work.
All Boss Qiao was doing was waiting for the young P·B soldiers from Sangha Town to grow up; then they would bring the best returns to P·B.
That was their homeland, and P·B was one with Sangha Town!
The sense of happiness that came with rapid change would form a kind of conviction in the minds of those young men during training.
They would become the protectors of the good life in Sangha Town!
With such a spiritual foundation and through more professional training, they would become excellent and loyal soldiers!
Joe Ga had no aspirations like the Kurds to build a nation; he simply wanted an unbreakable base, a place where he could fully relax and rest with peace of mind.
Only Sangha Town could provide that!
There, Joe was the true king without a crown!
