King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 62: 62: All Three Views Shattered

Joe Ga always held a sense of awe towards "passports," a matter related to officialdom.

But after chatting with the middleman named "Belotti," Joe Ga's entire worldview shattered.

Although he wasn't very detailed in his explanations, Joe Ga, as a person of sound intelligence, pieced together a grey industry chain based on reality and online information.

In Europa, particularly in Western Europe, there is a highly developed industry known as the "rescue industry."

Due to excellent welfare, Western European societies have derived a series of charitable aid industries, with Germany, burdened with the heaviest moral obligation, being the foremost.

Can you believe that there are governments that allocate tens or hundreds of billions every year to subcontract to companies below them for charitable aid?

Why do the nationals of various Europa countries resist refugees, yet various human rights organizations and feminist groups shout out loudly, insisting on their protection and care arguing that not doing so is a disregard for and trampling of human rights?

Even when the massive influx of refugees leads to deteriorating public security and assaults on women, they still stand by their views.

Among them, indeed, some genuinely wish to help the refugees out of kindness, but there are also some scumbags, and these scumbags usually wield more power.

Because spitting costs nothing but fame is valuable, the higher their prestige, the greater the chance their associated companies will win government charity tenders.

Compared to the general public harassed by refugees, they live in upscale communities and naturally won't encounter trouble.

You think they're doing charity when in fact they're conducting business.

Of course, the scumbags are only a part of it, there are also truly kind people with the world in their hearts, but they have nothing to do with that grey industry.

And within this vast industry, a grey area has emerged.

Organizing smuggling, claiming aid fraudulently, and even staging protests for money, not to mention the business of refugee identity passports.

Belotti's business is not very high-end; he can utilize his charitable channels to assist some "persecuted people" to settle in Europa, and of course, help someone like Muto, the "Hope of Africa," find his dreams in Italy.

For someone like Joe Ga, it's the simplest case for Belotti.

As long as Joe is willing to spend 300,000 euros, any country in Europa such as Malta, Greece, Andorra, or Portugal, can provide him with a "real passport" at any time.

Moreover, he doesn't have to go there in person, or even verify his current identity information; just a photo is needed, and the passport and procedures will be mailed to him, ready to use upon receipt.

If he finds that too expensive, he could opt for the refugee application route.

For just 150,000 euros, Belotti could help him jump the queue, and within three months, he could receive the green card he needs; all he has to do then is take an oath, this includes countries like Germany, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

Joe Ga immediately understood after listening; by spending the 150,000 euros, he would be taking the spot of a refugee who had been waiting for a long time, and since it was all done behind closed doors, it would be legally reasonable, with no one to take up the refugee's cause.

This is the refugee business, complicated beyond words!

This truly exemplifies the adage: the inexperienced find it impossible, the experienced find it easy!

In Joe Ga's eyes, what seemed exceptionally prestigious, was just a business to this Belotti.

This situation was rather favorable for Joe Ga, as he needed to register with his passport every time he stayed in a hotel, which was actually very unsafe for someone in his line of work.

Having a new passport, and being able to travel without a visa or obtain a visa-on-arrival, would make things extremely convenient.

You have to admit, Europe and America are indeed powerful in some aspects, and the conveniences that come with that are very real.

After listening to Belotti's spiel, Joe Ga asked with a hint of curiosity, "Could you get passports from England, America, France?"

Belotti hesitated on the other end of the phone and said, "A real passport with a fake identity is no problem, but of course it's not as safe as going through the official channels. Although the price is low, if customs catches on, you're in for trouble.

"Actually, I recommend you get a Greek passport. I can handle all the procedures for you, and you could have the new passport in your hands within a month."

Joe Ga already had a rough idea in his mind but still asked out of curiosity, "What do you mean by a real passport with a fake identity?"

Belotti seemed quite willing to spill the beans. He laughed and said, "That means using your photo to replace those of missing persons. It requires some technical means and a few complex operations. While the cost isn't high, I can't control the risks since it's not my own channel.

"I personally suggest you go with Greece. If you don't like Greece, I can recommend the refugee route. That way, I could help you apply for a green card from Germany or even Sweden."

After hearing all this, Joe Ga shook his head in amazement. Actually, with 300,000, it wouldn't be hard to immigrate by regular means, even to America.

Belotti was a typical vampire who played both ends against the middle: he collected money first by organizing smuggling, then made more by assisting refugees, and earned yet another pile from identity trading.

Joe Ga could tell that, in fact, Belotti preferred him to take the 150,000 refugee application route, where he could make more money. It was only because Joe Ga's tone and the content of what he expressed showed his own repulsion that Belotti then turned to promote the Greek project.

Actually, a bit of research online would show that Chinese intermediaries had a Greek property purchase residency project for 250,000 euros, and the house would still be your own, which is much cheaper than what he offered.

But at this point, Joe Ga had already made up his mind; having an extra passport was too important for him.

Yet, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked on the phone, "Why do I feel like you don't care at all about other people knowing what you're doing?"

"Isn't it good to be known by more people who need it?"

"Is it good?"

"So what if they know? What can those jealous of my achievements do to me?

"I am the savior of refugees, I serve the rights of humans and women. Any attack on me is a challenge to human rights.

"Any recording or video not authorized by me cannot be used as evidence in court, because I work in troubled countries for human rights, and inevitably, I sometimes say things just for show.

"Sayram and I are old acquaintances, so I didn't hold anything back from you.

"Even if you are a person with a strong sense of justice, you should be looking for the 'masterminds' not someone like me, a mere salesman."

Joe Ga nodded thoughtfully and said, "What you say sounds right, but also somehow not quite right. However, it's none of my business.

"I need to discuss it with my people, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

Belotti chuckled and said, "300,000 euros is no small sum; it indeed requires some time to think over, and you'd better choose a nice-sounding name for yourself.

"I await your decision and am always at your service!"

Joe Ga hung up the phone, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a shake of his head and a wry smile, "We really do need this service, and although I feel it's a bit expensive, it has its advantages.

"What do you guys think?"
