From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 841 Clear greed

  People who basically pay attention to the Syrian war are all interested in the artillery used by P·B.

  Lao Mei is no exception!

  In order to take Mosul in the short term, NATO's army needs a strong cover.

  What's better than a proven cannon?

  The artillery cover provided by P·B for the mercenaries at the Mosul base has become a topic that people in the industry talk about.

   Expensive!

   But well worth it!

   Now that Lao Mei wants to end by himself, they will definitely not let P·B cover their military operations, which does not meet the media needs of this battle.

  But it is not realistic for them to mobilize enough heavy weapons such as artillery and armored vehicles in a short period of time.

   They only have two months in total, and it is impossible to transport enough heavy firepower to satisfy 5,000 people.

  So someone came up with a 'genius idea'!

  The Pentagon repurchased the Black Hawk helicopters, Bradley armored vehicles and artillery in the Syrian US military base that had been delivered to P·B at the purchase price at the time.

  When Qiaojia saw this plan, he almost laughed out loud!

  A land combat large-caliber howitzer costs 3 million US dollars, and a shell costs 100,000 US dollars.

  Ten used third-hand artillery will cost 30 million US dollars, plus the remaining 100 rounds of shells, it will cost 40 million or more.

  In addition to the 20 million Black Hawks that are standard for the U.S. military, Lao Mei bought back 4 at one time...

  Boss Joe always wanted to discuss with Iraq after the war and sell them those weapons at a low price, but now Lao Mei rushed to buy them back at the price of first-hand goods.

   This is no different from pulling Boss Joe's hand and reaching into his own pocket to grab money.

   If this kind of thing can be explained, then what Eric revealed to him is too amazing.

   Repurchasing some artillery is just the beginning. The old US wants to rent the Baghdad Air Force Base as a transit, and use transport planes to send personnel and equipment to Iraq.

   And Laomei never wanted to take away the things brought over. After this battle is over, all the things they brought will be disposed of in situ.

  In the past, there have always been some companies that have been following Laomei’s **** all year round to suffer losses.

  Now Eric tells Boss Joe that P·B can eat these things for the price of a comminuted fracture.

  Although there are not too many powerful gadgets, most of them are armed Hummers and armored vehicles.

   But the price is too low, just sign a contract that does not proliferate weapons at will, and then lease the runway of Baghdad Air Force Base to them for free.

   Then giving $3 million to an unnamed man while giving the 'Heinz Brotherhood of Debt' **** some favors...

  Between these many discounts, Boss Qiao really couldn't figure out how much money he earned?

  He felt very exciting!

   Having poached the corners of the U.S. military to such an extent, Boss Joe felt that there was not much room for improvement in terms of greed.

  Although the money has not been received yet, Choga has fully realized the power of the American military-industrial complex and military interest groups.

   No wonder they love to fight so much!

   It's really a golden ten thousand taels!

  This time P·B took advantage of the position and ate a big bite of fat.

  But where is the level of fighting in Mosul?

  At this stage, the largest battlefield in the world is in Afghanistan. How much money are these people going to make there?

  Thinking about what I have done so many things, on the issue of war, P·B is actually only in the downstream of the interest chain...

  Choga is particularly thankful that he insisted on the win-win route, and did not hang P·B to death on the road to making quick money as a military contracting company.

  Now he has not only reaped huge profits, but also made many friends.

  And the number of 'revenues' and 'friends' will increase with time.

   As for those mercenary company concerns...

  After the U.S. military officially intervened in the war, these mercenaries could only play side drums and do dirty work.

  The business in Iraq was paid for by the US from the beginning to the end. Now that the funder’s father has spoken, there is no room for others to talk nonsense.

  Actually, those members of the mercenary group are not worried about being marginalized...

   It’s all about taking money to fight the war. They took the money and the battle was not over. Now the military has suddenly changed its attitude. They need to find out about Boss Joe’s attitude...

   Once P·B decides to withdraw, these mercenary groups will pay liquidated damages without hesitation, and then turn to the south together to find work around the oil fields there.

  Because in the current form of Iraq, once P·B withdraws, it will hang out with the US military and starve at least nine meals in three days.

  Business is business!

  Boss Joe doesn't need to hide his movements from his business partners...

  He decisively called the Mosul base to let them start operations in advance.

  The Mosul base must be vacated and handed over to the US military and NATO troops.

  Everyone moved back to the Gayala base 40 kilometers away, and then waited for the US military to show its might.

   Qiaojia didn't know what kind of changes would be caused by one of his orders...

   What he didn't expect was that the mercenary group chose to retreat when they received the order, and even the Iraqi government forces and Kurds around Mosul also retreated to the Gayara base.

  This avalanche-like 'retreat' brought the areas of Mosul that had been captured back under ISIS control.

  A large number of evacuated mercenaries made the Marine Corps reconnaissance troops who arrived in Mosul earlier revealed like a group of chickens.

  The left-behind P.B. logistics personnel and Kurdish auxiliary soldiers are okay, but those marines and Delta people are too collapsed in the face of Isis's endless harassment.

  So calls for help kept coming into the Pentagon, and some decent officials who wanted to verify the weird project collectively shut up.

  Everything must make way for life and war, which is why corruption in the US military is always invincible.

   It's a fait accompli, what else can you do?

  Don’t blame the public, but if you have the courage to investigate thoroughly, are you capable of facing the anger of so many front-line officers?

  Facing the front-line soldiers calling for help, the first wave of bombing began before the battle in the safe zone was completely over...

  As soon as Qiaojia got the news, he realized that it was an old and beautiful person who was rubbing his traffic.

  Faced with the media’s doubts about ‘why they couldn’t solve Isis’, they chose the simplest and rude way to declare their capabilities.

  The Qatar TV station in the safe zone immediately wanted to interview Boss Joe...

  Middle Eastern people abhor this type of barbaric bombing, and Lao Mei has stepped on the psychological bottom line of Middle Eastern people this time.

   It is necessary to know that there are still a large number of civilians in the city of Mosul, and the historical value of Mosul, a famous city through the ages, is unparalleled.

  In order to ease the pressure of domestic public opinion, the old US chose to use the front-line staff's call for help as an excuse to choose brutal bombing.

  Whether anyone killed Isis is unknown, but the casualties of civilians and the destruction of cities are really there.

  Choga did not accept any interviews, but began to urge people around the safe zone to speed up. He had to rush to Mosul to control the situation.

  According to Lao Mei’s approach, Mosul will definitely be reduced to ruins…

  It's okay for a city to be destroyed, and rebuilding is a big business.

  But P·B needs to survive around Mosul for a long time in the future. Boss Joe must maintain influence in Mosul in order to use the northern oil field as a bargaining chip to mediate with Turkey.

  Isis in Syria has been beaten and disabled, but the Syrian opposition supported by Turkey still exists, and the opposition they support is bent on killing the Kurds.

  The safe zone is dominated by the Kurds. Without ISIS as the common enemy, the conflict between the Kurds, the opposition interim government and Turkey will become more intense in the future.

  Boss Joe needs a bargaining chip if he wants to negotiate with this mad dog in Turkey.

   They are at war with the Syrian Kurdish armed forces. Boss Joe can ignore them, but they must promise not to harass the safe zone.

  Choga is not afraid of the opposition in Syria, the Kurds also represent the opposition...

   Qiaojia felt that this kind of battle was meaningless!

  Negotiation is the best way!

  The oil fields, refineries and oil pipelines within the radius of Mosul are the best bargaining chips.

  So Boss Joe can't let things in Mosul develop to the worst.

   Bombing is fine, but the evacuation of civilians needs to keep up.

  Even if other people don't pay for this matter, Boss Qiao will do it himself!

   Not only for the reputation of P·B and his own conscience, but also for the relative stability around Mosul in the future, and to reduce the security costs of transportation and trade as much as possible.

   This is very important for Boss Joe, because he needs to reduce the cost of materials and goods in order to complete the smooth dumping.

   If there is less hatred in Mosul's eyes in the future, his money will be easier to earn.

  With one less terrorist and one more ordinary person around Mosul, Boss Joe will earn more money with one more client.

  Joga rested in the safety zone for nearly half a month, and waited until all the P.B. personnel were withdrawn. He held a press conference under the witness of dozens of Middle Eastern media and European and American media...

  The United Nations sent several representatives as witnesses, and they were also accompanied by representatives of the Syrian government, representatives of the Iraqi government, and representatives of Iran...

  This is just an official representative. Others include the economic advisor of Prince Hamandan of Dubai, the assistant of Prince Al Thani of Qatar, and the financial advisor of Prince Takhnoni of Abu Dhabi.

  In addition to these representatives from the Middle East, Princess Emina took a huge risk to fly to Iraq on a transport plane, and then rushed to a safe area by helicopter.

   This is like a beggar’s version of the Middle East Peace Conference, which naturally makes everyone focus on the small place of the safe zone...
