King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

The changing winds outside did not have much impact on the battle in the rainforest...

The only downside was that Boss Joe started feeling short-handed!

The guerrillas and mercenaries trapped in the rainforest couldn't receive information from the outside. When full-scale bombing destroyed their courage and morale, they began trying to escape.

These people didn't dare to gather together. By the tenth day, they completely dispersed, playing hide and seek in the jungle with T1 and the Air Force.

This group were all veterans; without a numerical advantage, they dared not come to the camp looking for trouble, so they could only hide in concealed places, hoping to wait for P·B to leave or find an opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, this group was overthinking it...

Ever since the first Super Albatross pilot crashed, 'Cobra' changed the modus operandi of the space operations.

Each shift still had 4 fighters, but there was always one flying at ultra-low altitude along the Amazon River.

Any suspicious boat became the target of this plane!

At this time, any boats attempting to approach Boss Joe's area, unless they were P·B's own, were definitely those of the Cartel Group.

To speed up the process of exterminating them, Boss Joe had no choice but to send most of his men out, leaving only 20 Anteaters around him as basic defense.

This was the part that Boss Joe and all the soldiers disliked the most!

Because this jungle hide and seek was just like alley fighting...

It not only required rich experience but also demanded constant attention because losing the initiative in the jungle often meant disaster.

Dozens of T1-level experts playing hide and seek with hundreds of old hands in the jungle, to be honest, even advanced drones were not very useful at this point.

In this situation, the best strategy was to establish a perimeter on the outskirts, encircle these people, or simply make them surrender.

Boss Joe, with his unconventional thinking, chose neither, instead informing 'Cobra' to open the airspace around the rainforest and started calling those arms companies online to send people over...

Over the past ten days, Boss Joe had experimented with various models of pistols and posted test videos online, attracting a lot of attention.

The team sent by SIG Sauer and Triple Tian Peng to Rio had already passed P·B's level 10 physical test, expressing readiness to fight at any time, constantly riding on Boss Joe's popularity...

Boss Joe wouldn't indulge them!

He informed Frester, who was in Rio, to open a VIP fitness test channel, allowing any interested company or group to participate in the test. Once their ability was confirmed, they would be flown to the Amazon.

The more daring ones could choose to parachute in during the day, while the less brave could be brought here by seaplane to participate in the final stage of the siege.

As for Boss Joe, he hoped to use the frequent takeoffs and landings of seaplanes to cover his movements.

This kind of proactive invitation to exposure was something commercial groups couldn't refuse.

Having gained much benefit from P·B, SIG Sauer's executives were determined to bind and cooperate with P·B to a certain extent.

Although they couldn't participate in the synthetic battalion project, they could sponsor individual soldier equipment.

Triple Tian Peng, this familiar company, was even trickier; they contacted Frester the moment they received the invitation and quickly reached an agreement.

Firstly, they outfitted the special forces with custom advertisement uniforms, printing company names and logos on bulletproof vests.

Then they even went as far as auctioning off ad spaces on the special forces' gear.

While SIG Sauer provided weapons, helmets, tactical vests, bulletproof plates, night vision devices, scopes, jungle knives, and various survival tools, the special forces had to prepare these separately.

These people didn't care about the special forces' feelings. They gave each special forces member a Ding Ding phone, requiring them to upload footage from helmet cameras daily, check-in on time, and display products as per 'sponsors' requirements during non-combat situations.

This group was determined to commercialize crime eradication to the end!

The special forces earned thousands just by reciting a few ad lines, and even though the battles reeked of money, it unexpectedly didn't repel anyone!

People were long accustomed to a commercialized society, and those soldiers were actually quite genuine.

The things they chose and used smoothly were basically not bad.

Because of time constraints, Triple Tian Peng only completed part of the equipment bidding.

The money wasn't much, but sponsors naturally formed alliances with them, spending money to boost the popularity of the Triple Tian Peng team online.

Making money was secondary; it was the promotion of reputations that made others green with envy!

Who knew about 'Triple Tian Peng' before?

Most people's concept of mercenaries came from movies, naturally with a psychological resistance.

But now?

People suddenly discovered that those previously scoffed-at mercenary companies actually offered friendly services like corporate security, home security, personal protection, item escorting, and so on, and the prices weren't even that high.

Especially in middle-class districts of several cities, when they saw the markings on the alarm systems next to their doors, they suddenly realized that the security patrolling daily inside their communities were actually from mercenary companies.

The so-called mercenary companies have always been around us!

This kind of reputation expansion is extremely beneficial for Triple Tian Peng.

Since the business in Iraq ended, America has entered a period of peaceful transition.

Furthermore, Big Beak Bird seems less keen on waging war, naturally causing a decline in military contracting business.

Companies in America that focus on military services naturally entered a period of stock competition, while civilian services happen to be the more profitable sector.

This level of exposure not only made Triple Tian Peng famous but also caused their civilian business to soar rapidly.

Securing a few city communities can generate millions in annual income with very low risk, it's extremely lucrative!

The elite team that Triple Tian Peng nurtures chose to parachute into the Amazon amidst much attention...

Broadcasting the parachuting process brought huge gains for Triple Tian Peng!

Previously hesitant weapons and military contracting companies could no longer sit still!

Benelli Company urgently seconded a team of 12 Leather Head from Italy...

HK Company redeployed a KSK team to cooperate with P·B in combating terrorists from Liberia...

Kalar-Snif Group rented a signal flag team from Wagner...

The three teams airlifted the squad and equipment to Rio before anyone else could react, participating in P·B's level 10 assessment under media scrutiny.

After the assessment, they rested for two days and then boarded P·B's rented seaplane to venture deep into the rainforest.

These were just teams from the three major groups, and subsequently, some smaller companies also started to trickle in.

The financial capability and connections of these small companies are relatively limited, and passing P·B's level 10 assessment became a hurdle they must overcome. If the soldiers' qualifications don't meet the standard, they don't even qualify to participate in the game.

The commercialization and media coverage of military operations gradually began to shift towards entertainment.

The previously overly bloody front-line scenes were forsaken, and the people responsible for editing the videos began to focus on showcasing the soldiers' charisma.

Some others started focusing on the recruitment camp in the Rocinha Slum in Rio de Janeiro.

Many from all over the world came rushing in, but to be honest, the personnel were complex and varied in quality.

Many self-proclaimed former soldiers who were internet celebrities came trying to gain flow, but when faced with P·B's extremely realistic assessment projects, these people, who swore that they could do it themselves, made a fool of themselves in front of the Brazilian media cameras, making people laugh out loud.

Some vomited during the weighted run, some were left with only underwear after being mugged while running in Rocinha, and all kinds of bizarre jokes made the passionate city of Rio even more lively.

During this time, Qiao took advantage of the diversion of attention to secretly board a seaplane from the central rainforest with Dorian, the medic bird, and Ronnie, spending 2 hours to reach the north of the State of Amazonas, in Roraima.

This place, because it's close to the State of Amazonas, is also a state with intertwined waterways, with relatively sparse population, apart from the capital city of Boa Vista, there's no other city that can be considered prosperous.

The plane landed on a hidden river under the cover of night and quickly approached a simple wooden dock.

'Water Ghost', who had been waiting there, signaled with a flashlight on the dock...

Qiao, in a hurry, maintained full service on the plane.

After disembarking, he said a few words to the two pilots and then followed 'Water Ghost' to get into a rundown pickup truck.

The five of them squeezed into a pickup truck driven by 'Water Ghost', disappearing into the darkness.

The road conditions in Brazil were beyond Joe Ga's imagination, and even during the dry season in the rainforest, the roads were full of potholes.

The fatigue from the initial rush was quickly jolted away.

Dorian, squeezed in the back seat with the medic bird and Ronnie, held his head that had been bumped countless times, complaining unpleasantly, "'Water Ghost', can't you find a better car?

FUCK, not only is this car broken, but I also always feel there's a weird smell..."

'Water Ghost' raised his middle finger without turning back and said, "It's hard to find a place that meets the concealment requirement; this one is decent. If you had set out a day earlier, we wouldn't be driving but paddling a boat now.

FUCK, Brazilian roads can really drive one to despair!

Believe it or not, cars that run outside long-term here all have winches installed at the front because they'll definitely need self-rescue."

Joe Ga grasped the side handle tightly, shaking his head saying, "Just how afraid of death is Anon Talan to hide in such a remote place!"

'Water Ghost', after a moment of silence, said, "Boss, you go and see for yourself!

Some people really don't deserve to live…

In my life, I've seen many ruthless people, but I've never seen such a monster...

Apart from the word 'monster', it's really hard to describe that old thing!"
