King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 970 - 870: The Enemy from Within

Chapter 970 -870: The Enemy from Within

Joe Ga stepped off the plane at a private airport in New Jersey…

As he disembarked, he spotted several black SUVs parked by the side of the runway.

Steven, Eric, Thompson, Monica, and Kitten were already waiting there…

At the moment Boss Joe appeared, Monica, under Kitten’s scornful gaze, took the initiative to hook onto Boss Joe’s arm and greeted him with an enthusiastic kiss.

Kitten, feeling annoyed, walked over and punched Boss Joe’s arm, only to be caught and playfully bitten by him.

This spirited girl was not used to such situations; she wiped the saliva off her face with disgust, then found Grace, teasing the wrinkly little baby with a laugh, and whispered something that made Grace break into a radiant smile.

Joe Ga exchanged pleasantries with Steven and the others, then climbed into an extended limousine under Thompson’s guidance.

Then the men all got in together, and the convoy set off towards Manhattan.

Joe Ga stretched his body on the exaggerated seat, then took a sip of the whiskey Eric had handed him, and said, “Alright, out with it, how much bad news is there?

I can handle it!”

Eric knew he had messed up some things again, he helplessly said, “Sorry boss, because of Anna’s incident…”

Joe Ga waved his hand and said, “It’s none of your business, you didn’t do anything wrong in this matter.

I don’t know if you really love that Anna, but you’ve shown true Knight spirit, and I’m glad my partner isn’t one of those bastards driven solely by profit.

I’m happier to see you choose emotion over interest because I am that kind of person myself.”

As he spoke, Joe Ga patted Eric’s arm and said with a smile, “I trust you. We’ve been through the crap in Liberia, and I’ve always felt I could trust you.

You didn’t disappoint me, on the contrary, you did much better than I imagined.”

Eric was stunned for a moment, then downed the whiskey in his glass…

He rubbed his cheek forcefully then looked at Joe Ga and said seriously, “Boss, you can continue to trust me!

I won’t make any more mistakes!”

Joe Ga laughed heartily and said, “How can a person never make mistakes?

The point of falling down is to learn how not to fall as hard the next time.”

Seeing Eric so moved that he was at a loss for words, Steven shook his head helplessly and said, “Hu Lang, the current media situation is very unfavorable for us.

Congress has initiated an energy trade investigation at this time, intending to thoroughly examine our business in Iraq.

A black activist group suddenly received a significant amount of funding and legal support, and they filed a lawsuit in the New York court yesterday.

The FBI will investigate the New Jersey Branch of P·B, re-examine the last New Jersey raid, and then submit the findings to the court.

Hu Lang, we all know this is just a farce, but the media doesn’t care.

They’ve become smart now, no longer attacking my private life, but turning to our cooperation as a breakthrough point.

Our business isn’t afraid of scrutiny, but if we let the negative news ferment, overshadowing Rashiri’s negative news, it will impact Big Mouth Tang to a certain extent.”

After Steven finished, Thompson took out a stack of clippings and handed them to Joe Ga, laughing, “Boss, you need to take a look at these, P·B is currently facing a lot of controversy.

Some people are trying to reverse the impression we previously established, wanting to erase P·B’s contributions in Iraq, and some even do not hesitate to attack Princess Amina, sensationalizing your scandal with Princess Charlene…”

With that, Thompson nodded towards the direction of the windshield and said with a smile, “These people even won’t spare Grace Reed, Tom Reed has stated publicly several times that he would punch you in the face, and now Rashiri’s side is actively approaching Tom Reed…

They want to make your stance clear, and try to portray you as a bastard, a villain, a racist…”

After listening, Joe Ga shook his head and chuckled, “Wow, I’m simply incredible.

America’s Energy Group has completely lost control over the media, don’t you have your own media?”

Steven spread his hands helplessly and said, “Fox News Network is on our side, and there are many local newspapers too.

Over the past decade, the establishment has consolidated media resources, creating political correctness, they are trying to dissolve internal conflicts through the export of ideology while expanding their influence.

The European Union gobbles it up because they need to bridge their internal national issues through the establishment and dissemination of Bai Zuo thinking.

It’s this very tide that has allowed media power to fully develop.

America has specially designed constitutional amendments for these people, giving the media enough rights.”

With that, Steven looked at Joe Ga with a somewhat helpless expression, “Hu Lang, we are in trouble!

Big Mouth Tang has played out his hand, and I’m not in a good position to step in, so we can only count on you now.”

After hearing this, Joe Ga pointed to his own nose and said, “Count on me?

“I’ve already agreed to meet with Tom Reed, what else do you want from me?”

Steven reached into a bag and handed a document to Joe Ga, saying, “Big Mouth Tom held a meet-and-greet on Broadway today, and we want you to stand by him.

P·B saved New York, and people have much more patience with you than with us.

After Manhattan, we’ve got to rush to Oregon State.

That old bastard Tom Reed blacklisted Big Mouth Tom’s calls at a critical moment; without you, Big Mouth Tom’s last stop is definitely going to flop.”

Joe Ga took the document, glanced at it, and shook his head with a wry smile, “Even my speech has been prepared for me, I never thought I’d see the day as a mercenary.

Maybe I need a secretary who doesn’t like wearing clothes in bed and can manage my zipper well.”

Steven knew Joe Ga was hinting at the Reeds’ peculiar habits and he shook his head with a smile, saying, “Hu Lang, your speech in the Syrian Secure Zone is still on YouTube, being watched over and over.

Believe me, America loves this stuff.”

As he spoke, Steven pointed to the speech in Joe Ga’s hand and said, “I had Big Mouth Tom’s assistant team draft this; I made sure to have the script tailored to your personality and tone.

It’s getting a bit late now, I suggest you take a good look at it so you get the gist, and there will be a teleprompter at the venue.”

“Big Mouth Tom is very anxious right now; he urgently needs a win, but honestly, his popularity in New York is really terrible.”

Without much concern, Joe Ga flipped through the speech and then nodded slightly, “Steven, you know what, I’ve never worried about the media, nor those so-called lawsuits.

Whatever they say, it cannot erase the things done by the people of P·B.

The only thing I’m really worried about now is Rashiri and his people’s last counterattack.

When they start to distort facts, it means they can’t afford to lose.

At the last moment, they definitely wouldn’t dare to touch Big Mouth Tom since he’s surrounded by special service agents, but for us…

Buddy, don’t get complacent, you’ve got to be careful.

If anything happens to you, what we did in Iraq could be rewritten at any time.”

Back home, Steven really hadn’t cared much about his own security until Joe Ga’s words threw him for a loop, after which he nodded slightly and said, “I understand, I’ll increase the number of bodyguards for myself.”

Joe Ga shook his head and said, “No, let my New Jersey Branch send someone for you, and the same goes for Eric.

You guys are important to me. It’s the final stretch; I can accept everyone making mistakes, but I can’t accept any accidents happening to you.

This is a fight for the highest power in America and even on Earth; the winner takes a lot…”

Being an experienced politician, Steven immediately caught the implication in Joe Ga’s words and said in disbelief, “Are you implying that someone from Big Mouth Tom’s side has betrayed us?”

Joe Ga nodded slightly and said, “Look at the targets, Eric, you, me, but Alicia from the Justice Department wasn’t targeted…

Strictly speaking, we are not the core strength of Big Mouth Tom’s team, but the interest groups we represent are going to grab the most benefits.

Big Mouth Tom is someone who can be President; he should know the principle of joint success.

A presidency only lasts for four years; he can’t afford to betray us, otherwise, the cost would be too high for him.

But if someone offers more chips, and if the people around him want to grab a bigger share, that’s a different story…”

Steven paused for a moment, then nodded and said, “It does seem a bit off; Rashiri and their counterattack came across as too hurried, not like it was well-planned…

Who do you think it could be?”

Joe Ga sighed and said, “Steven, don’t forget who you are, you’re supposed to be the next Secretary of State, but what about now?

I’m not clear on the rest, but as we all know, the White House Cabinet positions are too important.

Secretary of State, Attorney General, Secretary of Defense, White House Chief of Staff, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Commerce.

Each position is vital, each representing huge interests.

I don’t think that many political elites are truly loyal to Big Mouth Tom; his circle has attracted many opportunists who would do anything for a profit.

You need to pay attention to their moves; otherwise, your Secretary of State position might fly out the window.

I’m also counting on your occasional support on Africa’s affairs, so you’d better be careful.”

Listening to this, Steven massaged his swelling temples and said, “Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the House of Representatives.

And New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani; there was talk about him eyeing the Attorney General position before, additionally, he’s close with Jared, Ica’s husband.

Shit, I never even thought of that before, no wonder the media coverage about me is so one-sided…”
