The core of North Kivu Province at this stage is the financial company; as long as the money flows normally, those warlords who have been subdued and pacified will become a stable ballast for North Kivu Province for at least a year.
They are more useful than any security police!
When Joe Ga was about to leave, he left behind 50 P·B soldiers and a group of artillery to keep the place in check.
Moreover, he signed a soldier training agreement with the Butembo Government, and the P·B soldiers left behind would help 'the big shot,' Komi, to train a relatively professional strike force.
Hold the gun steady, grip the moneybag tight, and the rest becomes much easier to handle.
Lu Jun, the rich second-generation, stayed in North Kivu Province to begin his grand venture.
A lot was needed for the Refined Industrial Park to be built, and to speed things up, Lu Jun even went shirtless, so to speak, to help the Butembo Government connect with the China Construction Company.
The faster the infrastructure projects progress, the faster the construction of his Refined Industrial Park can proceed.
Backed by Qiao's endorsement, China Construction Company quickly initiated negotiations for infrastructure projects, preparing to plan two highways totaling 300 kilometers in length, and establishing 42 schools, 3 hospitals, and 3 thermal power plants along the way.
As for the specifics of the negotiations, Joe Ga didn't plan to get involved; having the financial company's people to oversee the use of money was enough.
Joe Ga was very clear that China's overseas infrastructure projects always follow a route of low price and high added value because they invariably include some political conditions.
The simplest explanation is about building an international image while developing overseas markets.
And during the negotiations, when Joe Ga laid out a list of goods for import and export and a tariff fluctuation plan, the Butembo Government was able to gain significant advantages over China Construction Company.
France enjoys tax exemption on imports and exports among fifteen countries in Central and West Africa, and yet, they still can't beat the Chinese exports.
Once the tariff loophole is ripped open, Chinese basic goods will obliterate French products, leaving nothing but debris.
Now, France can still exert its influence to interfere with the policies of fifteen countries in Central and West Africa, holding onto the high-profit industries tightly and securing this high-profit market.
What Joe Ga was doing now was carefully pushing for Chinese goods to expand their market share in the territories he had been through, without touching France's core interests.
Keep in mind that the 'Jia Liang Trading Company' managed by Qiao Liang spends a lot of money every year; the converted goods require a significant market to be absorbed.
Liberia does not have a hundred-billion-level market, and once the Iraqi project starts, there could be a demand for goods exports worth two hundred billion. Joe Ga needs to find a place to digest those excess goods to stabilize the hearts of his allies.
And what seems to be a negligible point in tariffs will result in a massive increase in profits for goods in Congo, a country of nearly 90 million people.
It may seem like encouraging Congo's bigshots to adjust tariffs serves Joe Ga himself, but when Qiao stabilizes Africa Daddy's confidence using the bank, he actually provides a slight policy advantage and protection for Chinese goods in Congo.
That statement sounds particularly grand, but that's the reality, especially in the current stage of Congo, where Qiao holds more prestige than those so-called ambassadors.
In such circumstances, companies like China Construction Company with such a background must offer a significant discount!
Moreover, unbeknownst to Joe Ga, the fifth batch of 600 Blue Sword 7 missiles had already been shipped, and this time, no one even brought up the issue of payment.
The 'Jia Liang Trading Company' and the French Bank were two masterstrokes that firmly placed Joe Ga at the top of the interest hierarchy.
Even if he wanted to pull out now, the bigwigs from China, America, and France couldn't agree!
So when the plane carrying Joe Ga took a risk landing on the highway outside Byrdi City, not only were P·B's people restless, but many others became restless as well.
............
Nis, Kitten, Antar, and Ayu, along with a group of P·B soldiers, greeted Joe Ga as he disembarked from the plane.
The area within a 3-kilometer radius was completely under martial law; the supply convoys coming from Egypt were stopped on the highway, clueless about what was happening.
Every intersection on the east side of Byrdi City was manned by soldiers, and even residents who opened their windows out of curiosity were met with severe rebuke.
When Joe Ga got off the plane, he was taken aback by the spectacle organized by Nis.
He stepped forward to hug Nis, who looked somewhat weary in his eyes, and gave him a firm kiss on the forehead, saying, "You'll have to forgive my bit of machismo. Sitting in the rear and reading battle reports makes me uncomfortable.
You've done well, but we're in this together, right? I just want to help you, even if just getting a bit closer to cheer you on is all I can do."
Nis buried her head in Joe Ga's chest and whispered, "You shouldn't have come. Some losses should be borne by me, on your behalf."
Joe Ga laughed heartily and replied, "It's just a few deaths. What war doesn't have casualties?
If I still needed you to shoulder such losses for me, would I even be a man?"
As he spoke, Joe Ga playfully pinched 'Kitten's' cheek before grinning and saying, "How much time and money did the Americans spend in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Where have we got to from where we started?
Our troops are currently in Tubruq, going through the hardest part.
Maybe we can change our approach, instead of following the great powers in waging a war on public security."
```
"The National Army might not have manpower to work with me, but perhaps this is just my chance..."
'Kitten' really enjoyed seeing Boss Qiao's confidence. She bit Joe Ga's hand gently with her fingertips and then, with a sly wink, placed Boss Qiao's hand on Nis's behind...
"The situation in Tubruq is laid out there; you need to persuade 'Devil Bird.' She's been sleeping only four hours a day recently. Even an iron man couldn't bear that."
Joe Ga caressed Nis's face tenderly, then turned and said with a laugh to B Team and D Team members who were looking around curiously, "Guys, I'll give you three days to adjust, and then let's see just how big the gap is between you and the T1 team from the Wuchang."
As soon as Sanderson, the captain of Team B, heard this, he punched fists with Waters beside him, then nodded to 'Grey Wolf,' the captain of D Team, and said, "I've been through this too many times in Aqionghan. What about you? Are you ready?"
'Grey Wolf,' grinning, said, "My hometown Azerbaijan is near Iran and Turkey, and only about 200 kilometers from Iraq.
All the training I've gone through was to handle this kind of situation!
You ask if I'm ready?"
With that, 'Grey Wolf' looked at Joe Ga, and said with a smile, "Boss, don't be blinded by T1's reputation. Many of them haven't seen as many dead people in their lives as a child from a war-torn region has.
T1 is formidable, but there are people from places where the first sound they hear at birth is gunfire!
We, the people from such places, know better how to handle these situations than the so-called T1."
Joe Ga gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "It's good to have that confidence. Everyone get on board, let's find a place to meet.
We are not a regular army, there's no need to wage a protracted peacekeeping struggle against terrorists.
Among the thirty-six stratagems of China, there is one called 'Remove the firewood from under the pot'; I'll show you how Chinese wisdom really works!"
Upon hearing this, Sanderson excitedly said, "YE, thirty-six stratagems, I know that!
I read that book; an old pastor gave it to me, the text written with a wolf's hair brush.
It's a magical book!"
Dorian looked at Sanderson with slanted eyes and said, "Did that book teach you how to pay a little less in alimony?" Stay tuned for updates on Freewebnovel
Caught off guard, Sanderson stammered and then waved his hand, "With your wisdom, I find it hard to explain.
That book only teaches men how to wage war, not deal with women. For that, you should read another book, 'Art of War.'
I've been studying it recently, and once I've mastered it, I'll find a woman to try it on."
Dorian, upon hearing this, said in astonishment, "What on earth is 'Art of War'?"
Sanderson, with a sneaky look, said, "'Iron Shovel' has been reading that book lately, which is why he's having such a good time with the physical therapist Carmen.
I sneakily snapped photos of the content and am looking for someone to translate it.
Do you want it?"
Sanderson looked at Dorian, who seemed very interested, then shook his head with a sudden realization, saying, "No, you don't need it, haha..."
Joe Ga saw Dorian getting agitated and pulled him by the arm, whispering a few words in his ear...
"Don't listen to him. 'Iron Shovel' grew up in a place where women are scary. It's not easy for men to survive there, and mastering the 'Art of War' is pointless.
Don't be a fool like 'Iron Shovel.' If you do, love that makes you kneel at the drop of a hat will come knocking."
Dorian froze for a moment, then looked down on Sanderson, and with his broken Chinese said, "You are a fool..."
Upon hearing this, Sanderson stared with wide eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Joe Ga laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said, "Elephant is complimenting you for being eager and smart. Hurry up, let's go, we're off to the meeting..."
Seeing Boss Qiao's demeanor, Sanderson knew there was a bit of an issue...
He looked left and right, then spotted 'Sugar,' a cook wearing P·B military uniform, not too far away. He quickly walked over, grabbed him, and said, "Buddy, we're on the same side, what exactly does the 'Art of War' talk about?"
'Sugar,' not familiar with Sanderson, hesitated a bit, then said, "The 'Art of War' is a book about warfare written by someone named Sun Wu."
With that, 'Sugar,' not quite sure how to proceed, shook his head and said in Chinese, "The military is a matter of life and death, the way of survival or extinction. It must be thoroughly examined!"
Then he continued in English, "This is the pinnacle of Chinese warfare wisdom!"
Sanderson listened, frowned, and managed to learn a couple of the words but couldn't continue. He then stroked his chin and said, "Do all Chinese understand this?
Why does 'Iron Shovel' need the 'Art of War' to chase girls?"

'Sugar' shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know about that, maybe the battle between men and women is also a kind of warfare. Anyway, the loser always suffers a lot!"
Upon hearing this, Sanderson immediately thought of his own alimony and of his few troubled brothers, and he exclaimed, "Exactly, I really need to learn this!"
