755 -691: Adding Trouble
Joe Ga neither returned to Mosul nor went to Baghdad…
Baghdad must have been in total chaos at the time, with that guy Steven constantly leaking to the media.
The verbal battles must have been a mess, and Joe Ga didn’t want to confront such a situation directly.
The information Aaron provided him was very timely, and Joe Ga decided to wait until ISIS’s retaliation began and the situation became clear before going back.
Only then could everyone really sit down for a serious talk…
After all, everyone was still allies; this was just a mess created by some politicians for their own interests, with Turkey being the scapegoat pushed forward to take the blame.
Originally, that old lady Rashiri must have had a way to make Turkey comply, such as proclaiming in front of the media that it was a bombing error, which would be an indirect apology to ISIS.
Then she would provide compensation to Turkey behind the scenes, even if it was just a way to slightly slow down Turkey’s inflation rate, that would be enough to satisfy the Turkish people.
But not anymore, ISIS lost too much, Turkey lost too much, the Kurdish people lost too much, and America’s SEALs and hostages also suffered significant losses.
All parties were very dissatisfied with their own plight.
Joe Ga didn’t think that the old woman would have the ability to balance the interests of these parties, especially since she had betrayed the Kurdish allies.
Such treachery would definitely make her pay a price.
Joe Ga, who realized that the enemy would bury him, did the first thing by allowing the hostages to call their families to report they were safe, then he chartered a plane, took a few media reporters, and flew to New York with great fanfare.
You, the American Department of Defense, refuse to acknowledge the identity of “Hellhound”?
No problem, if you don’t recognize them, I do, and P·B doesn’t mind adding one more grudge against ISIS.
P·B Military Contracting Company completed an extreme hostage rescue operation, preventing them from becoming the main characters in a terrorist’s video.
During the rescue, due to some technical reasons, P·B had a misunderstanding with Turkey and thus hijacked their fighter jets.
Joe Ga doesn’t lie; he presents the truth with a realistic attitude, laying out what he did for everyone to review.
Concerning issues like “silencing,” Joe Ga also has no evidence; he won’t make reckless comments.
However, the hostages who experienced the situation firsthand are not so easy to talk to.
I’m taking risks to serve America as assigned by the company, and you turn around and try to sell us off? fгeewebnovёl.com
How could that be right?
Those capable of dealing with ISIS were all cunning individuals; they were well aware that if they couldn’t force Halliburton and the old lady to admit their mistakes, their personal safety would not be guaranteed.
Usually, they had no say, but in this critical election period, as long as they were willing to speak up, there would naturally be members of the Republican Party coming out to voice support for them.
This was a direct and open strategy.
Joe Ga adopted the attitude of a pure lotus flower, pretending not to know about Halliburton and the old lady behind the scenes, and with a facade of striving for peace, justice, beauty, and selfless dedication, he attracted a wave of praise and sympathy.
Joe Ga’s actions in Iraq corresponded with Princess Amina in New York.
With their tacit cooperation, not only did they occupy a vast amount of media space, but they also put the old lady in an extremely awkward position.
In normal crisis management, the simplest method is to divert attention…
The old lady quickly started to fully assist Princess Amina in gaining a voice once she realized something was amiss, hoping to use the princess’s halo to occupy media resources while clearing her own negative situation.
But within a few days, she found that Princess Amina was actually in cahoots with Hu Lang, and all her efforts were seen by those media who liked conspiracy theories as an indirect compensation to P·B to shut them up.
Then, true to form, Hu Lang did close his mouth and hid in the ‘Safety Zone,’ refusing to see anyone.
When Princess Amina faced media questions, she kept emphasizing the importance of the ‘Safety Zone,’ but she never mentioned the old lady who had greatly helped her.
The undisguised loathing and grievance in her eyes made the old lady’s situation even worse.
Joe Ga, hiding in the ‘Safety Zone,’ laughed his head off…
The situation was mostly within his expectations!
And with Aaron’s early warning, America’s new secret military budget began to be discussed, and the mercenary groups became even more diligent.
No one expected that the unluckiest in the game would be Halliburton, which had no presence at all…
The first thing the returning hostages did when they got home was to sue Halliburton, demanding an astronomical sum of damages.
Joe Ga didn’t know how that nine-digit sum for emotional distress was calculated, but it didn’t stop him from having Eric introduce them to a lawyer.
During this election period, it was inconvenient for friends at the Department of Justice to take sides, but they were still willing to stand up for vulnerable groups and seek justice—and these kinds of lawsuits could be quite profitable, with 50% of the compensation going to the lawyer as a fee.
Moreover, as the lawsuit was exposed by the media, a scandal officially entered the public’s view.
While America’s mishaps drew everyone’s attention, Turkey experienced two terrorist attacks.
Istanbul International Airport was hit by a premeditated armed attack, killing 47 people and injuring over two hundred.
Then, before Turkey had even issued a statement of condemnation, their central Red Crescent Square in Ankara was attacked once more, resulting in 37 deaths and over a hundred injuries.
To everyone’s surprise, the Red Crescent Square attack was not carried out by ISIS, but by an extremist group calling themselves ‘Eagles of Kurdistan.’
These individuals, armed with automatic weapons and bombs, charged into the city center and engaged in fierce gunfire with local military police.
Incredibly, they managed to escape amid the Turkish military police’s encirclement.
They didn’t even need ISIS to take the blame; they came forward the day after the attack, declaring it was a response to the Turkish bombardment of Kurdish people, and they planned to escalate their actions further.
Then, it seemed as though ISIS felt outdone by the Kurdish militants; copying their tactics, they carried out another explosion in Ankara, causing 50 deaths and 300 injuries.
In the span of three days, there were three terrorist attacks, and shockingly, they were carried out by two sworn enemies, ISIS and the Kurdish militants.
This nearly drove the Turkish people insane, as if they had become the public enemy of the world.
Being bombed was one thing, but the fact that nobody spoke for them made it worse, especially when America, once a pioneer in anti-terrorism, remained conspicuously silent this time.
The entire NATO seemed to ignore the plight of the Turkish people, acting as if they had a contagious disease, and it was as if they were about to say, “Don’t get near me.”
By then, Turkey already knew that ISIS had dirty bombs, so they didn’t dare launch a significant offensive against them.
When they wanted to retaliate with another airstrike against the Kurdish people, the traditionally feeble Iraqi Government surprisingly issued a warning…
“Iraq is a sovereign state.
If Turkey chooses to invade Iraq again, we will not hesitate to shoot down their fighter jets and will take equivalent retaliatory measures.
We do not rule out the possibility of cutting off the oil pipeline between Iraq and Turkey, and we will submit a request to the United Nations Security Council to impose sanctions on Turkey.”
The Iraqi Prime Minister organized a media briefing at an Iraqi military airport, with a backdrop of several F-16 fighter jets being towed out of the hangars.
Never in his life had the Prime Minister been so firm, and the internal rift within America provided him with unprecedented leverage.
Steven, eager for stability in the South, gave him significant political support in exchange for his public declaration to protect the Kurdish people.
At this juncture not only were the Turkish people confused, but so were the Kurdish people.
In the past, because of their own stance, nobody was willing to protect them.
Now the Iraqi Government suddenly stood up to confront Turkey for their sake, leaving the Kurdish people quite unaccustomed to this support.
As a result, the Kurdish people faced internal divisions, with the Kurdistan Democratic Party, which has always advocated for Kurdish autonomy, unexpectedly supplanting the Freedom Party of Kurdistan, which advocates for independence, and started aligning unexpectedly with the Iraqi Government.
Nobody expected that Turkey, rabid like a mad dog, would inadvertently foster unity within Iraq.
What was more unexpected was that the person behind all these events was none other than P.B.
Qiao, hiding in the ‘Safety Zone’ at the border.
Interests, oh interests…
Steven, eager to achieve his own grand accomplishments, heeded Qiao’s advice and persuaded the Iraqi Prime Minister to speak up for the Kurdish people.
This not only aligned with America’s anti-terrorism interests but also with the overall interests of Iraq.
The perennially isolated Kurdish people received support from their ‘motherland’ and even if they were ungrateful at heart, they had to be moved for a while.
Together with Princess Amina’s lobbying at the United Nations, and the media’s extensive coverage, the ‘Safety Zone’ was finally established after 15 days of United Nations deliberation.
This was an area spanning approximately 200 square kilometers across the borders of Iraq and Syria.
The Iraqi Government representative applauded vigorously at the conference, declaring it a humanitarian victory, while the unfortunate Syrian representative muttered a few words and, after whispering with the Russian delegate, reluctantly accepted a UN-managed so-called ‘Safety Zone’ appearing on their soil.
But that was not the end.
Princess Amina not only realized the vision of the ‘Safety Zone’ but also secured a security contract worth 60 million US dollars and military assistance worth 20 million for P.B.
Because the ‘Safety Zone’ needed a military presence, and no country’s military was willing to go there at the time.
Hence, the United Nations simply capitalized on Princess Amina’s momentum, raising nearly 200 million dollars, and then officially hired P.B.
with 60 million to serve as the security force.
For Joe Ga at this point, money really wasn’t important, the name provided by the United Nations was what mattered most.
