From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 530 Big Stick and Carrot

   In fact, the more Choja tried to tell Comey not to be nervous, the more nervous he became.

If Choga was like a traditional warlord and forced Comey to be his younger brother, he might have surrendered in a simple way, but when Choga showed a kind side and gave him the 'right to decide' his own destiny At that time, he couldn't stand it anymore.

  Sometimes cranky thinking and worrying about gains and losses can destroy a person's spiritual will.

  When Comey fell into the vortex of the question of "how should I answer to keep what I have", he has completely surrendered psychologically.

Comey drank two glasses of whiskey in a row, and when his mood stabilized a bit, he looked at the relaxed Boss Joe and said hesitantly, "Sir, there are valuable mineral deposits buried in our land, and North Kivu is chaotic. The source is those mining companies and warlords..."

   Talking about it, Comey faced Choga’s half-smile eyes, took another sip of whiskey, and said nervously: “Of course, I’m also a soldier, a warlord…

  If you want to calm down North Kivu, you must first calm down the warlords, but if you want to calm down the warlords, you need the cooperation of those mining companies.

  A large part of the mining companies have never invested a penny in North Kivu Province. They are more willing to spend money to support some warlords, let them secretly mine mineral deposits, and then sell things to them...

  So if you want to control North Kivu, you need to stop those mining companies.

  If, if you want, I can..."

   After hearing this, Choga decisively waved his hand to stop Comey from speaking next.

  Komi didn't fully talk about Choga's heart, but he honestly explained the current situation in North Kivu Province.

  The mining companies here are either the former Belgian mining companies or the Walker Mining Company, who have a background and are willing to invest and are confident in making long-term profits.

  Either it is a mining company that buys mines from the Congolese government and then hires warlords to mine minerals. This is reasonable.

  The worst are actually those mining bag companies!

  They set up an office in Butembo, and then cooperated with the local warlords to provide them with weapons for them to mine mineral deposits and then buy them at a low price.

  They don't mind who actually supplies them with the minerals, the effect of this is to make the locals in North Kivu think that as long as someone has a gun, they can grab the minerals and exchange them for money, and then the seemingly never-ending chaos ensues

  Those mining companies that actually contributed to the chaos in North Kivu Province can sit comfortably in Butembo, pick and choose to buy the minerals sent by those messy warlords.

   To stabilize North Kivu, it is necessary to clean up those mining leather bag companies.

   But the reality is that the Congolese government has no good way to deal with those "white masters". Butembo's government relies on their support to survive, let alone control them.

  What Comey said is actually implying that if it is necessary to use strong means to clean up those mining leather bag companies, he can act as the vanguard.

   This is a bit of a name for Natou, because as long as he does this, it means that he has only one way to go in the future.

  Choga made great efforts to bring Comey over, of course not for the purpose of developing a mad dog, so after feeling Comey's determination, he resolutely stopped his next words.

  Seeing that the 'big shot' Comey was so nervous that he couldn't control his sweat, Choga suddenly smiled and said, "I can feel your sincerity!

  I met a man named Ngonga yesterday, he is Samuel's most powerful assistant, and then I think he is a good candidate for the new mayor of Butembo.

   However, as a rookie, his strength is too weak. I think Butembo's armed forces need to be supported by someone.

  Butembo needs a strong government to manage affairs in North Kivu!

   Mining companies are a cancer, yes, but if they can't find gangsters or warlords to cooperate with, they want to get benefits from North Kivu, they need to act according to the rules we set.

  I always feel that walking on two legs is more stable, what do you think? "

  Comey's mind is confused now, because he can probably understand what Boss Joe said, but he finds it unbelievable.

   Comey knew Ngonga and knew that Ngonga was Samuel's most capable assistant.

  Now Choga wants to push Ngonga to the position of mayor of Butembo.

  It is not difficult to understand, it is easier to support a local than to start from scratch.

  What Comey couldn't understand was that Choga seemed ready to turn Butembo's armed forces into his own hands...

  What is this for?

  P·B is the strongest force in itself, but now he seems to want to support himself, what is he trying to do?

   Comey did not understand that Choga needed P·B to exist as a 'third party' so as to maintain a detached position and position.

  Boss Joe wants a strong North Kivu provincial government that is willing to listen to his own opinions, so he can't simply treat others as puppets, but needs to enrich the government's configuration from all aspects.

  When the rules are formulated, the government needs to be able to implement the rules and policies on its own.

  When encountering unsolvable problems, they can entrust P·B to solve the problem.

  This approach not only conforms to the interests of P·B, but also conforms to the interests of the local Congolese!

   Prime Minister Minam, who has been sitting beside him without saying a word, now has a better impression of Choga.

   Jackal really lived up to its reputation!

  What he is doing now is actually what the Congolese government wants to do but is unable to do.

  But according to the current situation, it seems that after the success of the matter, the power is still in the hands of the Congolese natives, and the mutual containment of Ngonga and Comey will make this power more stable.

  The new government needs the recognition of the Congolese government. As long as Choga succeeds, the Congolese government represented by Minam will be the ultimate political beneficiary.

If North Kivu can get rid of the haze and get back on the road, even if it only pays hundreds of thousands of fiscal revenue every year, it is equivalent to reclaiming the sovereignty of a de facto independent province to the central government. This is a huge political achievement and enough for Minam Brag about a lifetime thing.

  As for Choga's influence in North Kivu, Minam and even the Congolese president don't care.

  Because they never owned these in the past, and now they are true allies with Boss Joe, and they are solid partners tied together by the shares of the mining group backed by six tantalum mines.

   What Boss Joe is doing now is to set things right. He is always thinking about the Congo, but instead minimizes the political backlash in the Congo. In the end, he actually gave himself the "most authoritative" right to speak.

   Now the only things standing in front of Boss Joe are those mining companies!

   It is impossible to kill them, because once it is done, it will inevitably lead to outside intervention, which is the last thing Choga wants to see.

  When Choga shot and killed Samuel, he was forced to speed up his actions and deal with everything quickly.

  Congo's minerals are too valuable, and Choga absolutely doesn't want to give Daddy Afika, the British, or even the Americans the opportunity to pick peaches.

  Looking at Comey, who was worried about gains and losses, Choga smiled and said: "Mr. Comey, according to my information, you have nearly 2,000 armed forces in your hands."

While speaking, Choga looked at Comey who was about to stand up in panic, smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that there should be only one legal armed force in North Kivu from now on." , that is the North Kivu Provincial Government Army.

Among the 2,000 people, I don't think there will be more than 500 people who can really get it. My idea is that if you agree, you can choose some of your people and combine them with the rest of the former Butembo government. manpower, forming a new team of 1,500 people.

   As your friend, I can provide military training for your people, and even provide weapons that a regular army should have.

  Of course, these are charges, but this part of the cost can be paid by the new Butembo government.

  I need you and Ngonga to cooperate with each other to put North Kivu on the right track and benefit all the people in North Kivu.

  Dude, winning alone is no big deal!

  There are too many interests in the mining industry chain to count, we couldn’t get them in the past, but now we can let those interests go where they should go.

  To save those civilians from hunger, disease, and death, this is what a "big man" should do! "

  Joga looked at Comey's big face, black people couldn't tell they were blushing, but the guy's trembling mouth and red eyes betrayed his mood...

   Facing the excited Comey who was a little speechless, Choga smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Dude, we all have money that we can't spend in our lifetime, if you just want to enjoy life, then leaving here is a good choice.

   If you still have the idea of ​​​​doing something in your heart, then you should follow your inner feelings.

  People in North Kivu need help, and you are the one who can! "

  Comi stood up and carefully held Choga's hand, and said with a complicated expression: "I can really? I..."

Choga shook Comey's hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "One person can't do anything, but as long as we work together, we can establish a new mining order in North Kivu that will not be exploited." .

   Then relying on this order, we can change the future here!

   As long as you can hold on, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, when people here mention 'Big Man' Comey, they will point to your bronze statue and tell curious outlanders...

   'That's our leader, he saved our lives'! "

From last night until now, Comey, who has been in a roller coaster mood, seems to have been brainwashed at the moment, looked into Choga's eyes with a little fanaticism, and said excitedly: "Sir, I don't know what I should do, you tell me…"

   Upon hearing this, Choga smiled and said, "Then welcome to join us, Commander Comey!"

   While talking, Choga looked at Comey whose lips were trembling with excitement, and said with a smile: "I need you to bring in the most elite people, our new mayor Ngonga needs a strong person to stand for him.

  P·B's position is not suitable, but you can!

  There is a helicopter waiting for you outside, you can go anytime..."

   Seeing Comey nod vigorously, turned around and wanted to go out, Choga grabbed the guy's arm, pointed at his family and said with a smile: "Dude, did you forget something?"

   Comey grinned and said: "Sir, I heard that Sangha Town is developing very well. There are free schools and hospitals there. I would like to ask you to help me arrange my family there.

  I estimate that North Kivu will not be peaceful in the next six months, and I want my wife and children to settle there..."
