King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 33: 33 Trading Conditions

Joe Ga was very pleased that Karman and Nis didn't show any displeasure or resistance.

This not only indicated that they were clear-headed but also that they were not particularly greedy people.

The vagueness of Joe Ga regarding the cost needed to handle the arms here was actually because he hadn't fully figured it out himself.

The safest method would naturally be to use the Omnipotent Toolbox to disassemble everything here, then recreate them, but that would be too time-consuming. The Omnipotent Toolbox isn't a production line; it should be reserved for more valuable tasks.

What Joe Ga wanted, however, was another way, which was to seal this secret base.

When needed, he could choose to break down the stuff here or to clamber over mountains to come in, fix the Mi-8 helicopter, and then use the aircraft to transport the goods out.

Sealing the entrance to the valley, learning to fly a helicopter, and then transporting the unnoticeable items out of the place like an ant moving house—this was the method Joe Ga had in mind.

There were still many problems to be solved here, but that's how business is. There will always be problems; solve them!

In fact, Joe Ga had a better choice, which was to inform the United Nations and then return to China.

However, he estimated he had only a few hundred thousand US Dollars, which could barely buy a house, and with the case of shooting the United Nations official hanging over his head, he would live in fear upon his return. He couldn't endure such a life for even a day.

With things having reached this point, what was there to hesitate about? Just proceed with caution!

Having confirmed the intentions of the two employees, Joe Ga breathed a sigh of relief. He then took out his phone, switched it on, and dialed the number of Boss Huang...

"Hello, Boss Huang, this is Hu Lang."

"Thank heavens you called me. I've been trying to reach you. I really had no other way. Can you help me?"

Joe Ga could tell from the anxious tone on the other end that he had found no other solution, so he said, "Boss Huang, 500 AK74s, a hundred thousand rounds of ammunition. I can have them ready within three days and deliver them to Darfur. But I have my conditions..."

Upon hearing this, Boss Huang excitedly said, "No problem, I'll agree to any conditions.

Is it the money? Don't worry; I know the going rate. I can give you three times the price, two million US Dollars, all in cash."

Joe Ga sighed upon hearing this, and then said, "Boss Huang, I am satisfied with the price, but there's something I need to tell you: I can give you the goods, but I won't be personally delivering them. Do you understand?"

Speaking of which, Joe Ga hesitated a moment before adding, "You should have heard about the warlord named 'Jindawei.' He's not only a terrorist but also a madman."

Joe Ga's words were cryptic, but the message was clear. He was informing Boss Huang that even if he delivered the goods, it was highly likely they would not release the hostages and might even take him prisoner as well.

After a long silence, Boss Huang said, "I have only one son in this life, and the children of several old friends were kidnapped with him. If I do nothing, I will never rest easy in this life.

Thank you, Hu Lang!

I accept your conditions. You give me the goods, and I will take people to make the deal. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with you."

After hearing this, Joe Ga glanced at Nis beside him, then said, "I'm sorry I can't be much help with the hostage rescue, but I might be able to find a way to eliminate Jindawei..."

Before Joe Ga could finish, Boss Huang excitedly interrupted, "I'll add another million, a million US Dollars. That's all the cash I can gather quickly, and I'll pay you upfront.

Hu Lang, I know you're a sharpshooter; if you're willing to give me a hand, upon completion, I can come up with another million US Dollars for you."

Joe Ga understood that Boss Huang wasn't optimistic about the so-called 'weapons for hostages' exchange and wanted Joe Ga's assistance.

However, Joe Ga was aware of the challenges involved in hostage rescuing. For a layman like him, the hostages' luck was more important than his own skill, because in a shootout, bullets do not discriminate.

Selling arms was a transaction with a clear exchange, but hostage rescue missions were not.

If he took the money and the hostages ended up dead, the whole situation would not look good; it could even seem somewhat fraudulent, as Joe Ga's objective was only to kill.

It was impossible for Joe Ga to be involved in the delivery, but he suggested killing Jindawei because that was his target, and Jindawei might appear during the exchange.

Secondly, he wanted to provide a bit of psychological comfort to Boss Huang, his old customer. He hadn't intended to charge him for it.

But since Boss Huang had offered it himself, Joe Ga hesitated for a moment and then said, "Here's what we'll do: Your people will handle the delivery, and I'll provide cover from the outside.

I can't guarantee anything except that 'Jindawei' will certainly die if he shows up.

But Boss Huang, I won't take your money. Let's just call it a favor between friends. If things don't work out, having 'Jindawei' as a burial companion for me and my son is good enough.

Hu Lang, I'll pay you as agreed, just do your best."

After a long silence, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "There can be no perfectly happy outcome; I can't take the money.

Boss Huang, it's better for you to spend that money hiring a few fearless experts to accompany you. There's actually a chance of success."

Ending the call, Joe Ga motioned Karman and Nis to join him. As they walked, he said, "Let's load up the supplies and make some preparations.

'Jindawei' might show up at the delivery site; we'll seize the chance to take him out and thus fulfill Nis's wish.

If possible, we might even find a way to root out 'Jindawei's' lair and take them all out in one fell swoop."

Nis looked at Joe Ga with an odd expression and asked, "Just the three of us?"

Joe Ga nodded and said, "Have you forgotten what you said yourself? As long as we see what's in the arms cache, we'll realize that defeating Jindawei is not so difficult."

Nis hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "I was talking about armed helicopters, but you said you don't know how to..."

Joe Ga grinned and said, "True, I don't know how to fly a plane, but if it's just to bomb with rockets, it seems you don't necessarily have to fly one."

Nis, who had gone through the entire war in Liberia, had seen many bizarre weapons. Seeing Joe Ga's confidence, she curiously said, "Are you thinking about mounting the rocket pods on a pickup truck?"

Joe Ga nodded with a smile and said, "In the ammunition warehouse next to the hangar, I saw plenty of Russian B-8 rocket pods, 20 shots of 80mm high-explosive rockets, enough to give those terrorists a hard time.

If that's not enough, we'll mount two of them. When we're done, we drop them neat and clean.

Actually, rockets are just oversized firecrackers. Even a child from China can handle them with ease."
