King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Hamandan didn't need to go into too much detail. With Joe Ga's political sensitivity, he instinctively sensed something wrong as soon as this lunatic's words came out.

The Arab Royal Family reflecting on women's empowerment and corruption issues sounds reasonable.

But hearing it from a prince is as absurd as a capitalist lecturing workers on the breaches of labor law in a 996 work schedule!

Whenever the Arab Royal Family talks about this topic, they're trying to gain the support of the international community.

But what would prompt these big shots to do such a thing?

Dubai is a very small emirate. Their sudden display of this stance must mean they're feeling external pressure, and it certainly has to do with the Royal Family.

Tahnoon from Abu Dhabi is at the resort, showing no abnormalities, which means the UAE itself doesn't have major issues.

Hamandan mentioned Princess Amina and is interested in making a documentary film about her...

Thinking about Princess Amina's late husband, Joe Ga could guess something!

There's going to be turbulence in the Shah Royal Family, though Joe Ga doesn't know the specifics, but royal turbulence can set off a chain reaction.

After internal regime changes, the new authorities will definitely put on a facade of embracing the world, trying their best not to give external powers the opportunity to intervene.

Looking at it this way, the key reason for Shah's huge spending to hire P.B. to go to Yemen has been found!

They cannot spare attention on Yemen during this stage!

That Prince Salman personally placed on the throne of the Crown Prince by the old King Salman has always been a controversial figure. It was he who forcefully intervened in the Yemen war and consistently stated that he would not withdraw from Yemen.

Unfortunately, Shah's army is either too weak, or the Shah is not united, with people deliberately dragging it down, causing the war to make no progress.

None of this surprises Joe Ga because many in the Shah Royal Family have deep ties with the American Military-Industrial Complex, and it's no secret that some Shah members have connections with Al-Qaeda.

They fight a bit, drag a bit, then it's buying and buying.

As a result, the military-industrial complex makes a fortune, the royals seek external support, and organizations like Al-Qaeda, stemming from extremist factions, can never be completely eliminated.

It now seems that to clear obstacles for Prince Salman thoroughly before he dies, the old king will take action within this year.

No matter how Joe Ga views himself, when he forms a coalition and prepares to enter Yemen, it will indirectly affect the Shah's situation.

Because he is taking part of the pressure off Shah, the major battle will also divert attention.

As long as the old king's actions are swift and severe enough, most problems can be solved at once.

Hamandan did not come to P.B. to discuss business, but to observe the situation.

Prince Dvali is likely a member of Prince Salman's camp, and the Dubai Royal Family is not in a position to make a public statement, so they simply sent Crown Prince Hamandan.

Abu Dhabi's Tahnoon and Qatar's Al Sani have not left, insisting on mingling with Dvali, probably for the same reason.

This is the GCC expressing a stance through a less noticeable channel, even Qatar, which has a bad relationship with Shah, is no exception.

This suggests that there has long been dissatisfaction within the GCC with the internal issues of the Shah Royal Family.

Joe Ga never had time to pay attention to the Shah Royal Family's movements. Any action they take would be a secret, only becoming known if successful.

However, he understands the core logic of changes in the Shah Royal Family!

A group of royal members relying on the American Government and the military-industrial complex have become a cumbersome existence.

When American energy groups made it clear they wanted to promote shale oil and gas extraction domestically to increase employment while competing with Middle Eastern tycoons in the international market, the foundation for cooperation shook.

Shah definitely wouldn't dare to touch the US Dollar payment system, but they can act against their internal members.

Killing a royal member would mean billions of dollars, and it also consolidates power, which seems totally doable.

First, unify their forces, sort out domestic factions, then grab leadership in OPEC+ through leverage, and then wrestle with America on energy projects.

With unique geographical and energy price advantages, use political maneuvering to ensure the Middle East's position internationally.

The new forces represented by Prince Salman have very clear thinking. They used Eric's Middle East visit as an opportunity to throw out a $100 billion carrot to stabilize America.

Then they tentatively introduced reform proposals on women's empowerment and corruption...

These are all preliminary moves before a major purge!

Loosening restrictions on women is to portray an open image while seeking some support from international society.

And once the anti-corruption banner is raised, no matter which prince the knife falls on, it becomes reasonable.

This is a typical political combo, and those with unclean slates who suffer just got what they deserve!

But judging by Hamandan's stance, this time the Shah's royal turmoil will be very bloody.

Once the internal strife within the Shah Royal Family starts, the situation in Yemen will change, and P·B will face increased pressure.

Joe Ga's mind was racing, and within a few minutes, he had figured everything out...

He wasn't clear on the specific details, nor was he interested in knowing, but once he sorted out the core logic, he let out a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "80 billion is a bit too little, 18 billion US Dollars sounds like a more reasonable figure..."

As he spoke, Joe Ga snapped back to reality, looked at Hamandan, who had a look as if he'd seen a ghost, and laughed heartily as he hugged this political novice, saying with a smile, "Buddy, thank you for bringing me good news."

Saying so, Joe Ga looked disdainfully at Sayyid, who was at a loss, and said, "Don't hang out with Tahnoon and the others anymore, those guys never treated you as a brother..."

Sayyid finally realized something at this point, he flashed a bitter smile at the embarrassed Hamandan, then spread his hands at Joe Ga, saying, "As a prince who doesn't meddle in politics, I reap the benefits, so I also have to accept the disadvantages.

I think the current situation is just fine. Look at Hamandan, politics really isn't a good gig."

Joe Ga liked Sayyid's outlook; after all, when you can't spend all your money, being a business-minded prince is indeed quite enjoyable!

He bumped fists with Sayyid, then suddenly looked at Hamandan with a sly smile and said, "I heard Prince Salman is a reformist, and the cinemas in the Shah Kingdom were his doing.

Interested in directly investing in a movie, with the most authentic scenes and the biggest stars? How about we shoot a film titled 'Saving Princess Amina'.

Aren't you all concerned about women's empowerment issues? This is a great opportunity..."

Saying this, Joe Ga excitedly rubbed his chin and said, "You bastards want to manipulate public sentiment with topical issues...

No problem, that's a good thing!

After all, if a bunch of princes are dead, any slight improvement in the girls' situation is a blessing.

I'll take the lead and initiate the project, you all handle the investment. The scale of your investment represents your determination to change things.

By the time the movie is released, you all are responsible for the massive promotion and distribution. As long as the Middle Eastern box office reaches 2 billion US Dollars, you all can step up to meet public demand and relax the restrictions on women.

At that time, conservatives will surely jump out, but with the momentum on your side, you can conveniently announce a crackdown on corruption.

FUCK, I'm truly a genius!

It's May now, with the right professionals, a gunfight movie could be wrapped up in three months.

Start the hype in June, premiere in September, explode in October, and Prince Salman can make his move in November.

Hamandan, now this is your idea!

Hurry and negotiate with Dvali and the others, if the investment is below 500 million US Dollars, I'll ensure this movie is never made!"

Hamandan, hearing this, blinked and, after digesting the information, excitedly stood up and said, "Let me take Sayyid's role, it'd be best if Princess Amina finally lands in Central Africa on my private plane..."

Saying this, Hamandan shrugged helplessly at Sayyid, then looked at Joe Ga excitedly and said, "Hu Lang, this is a genius idea, count me in for sure, I'll be the producer!

No no no, you're the producer, I'll be the co-producer!

We'll hire the hottest stars, the most professional team, and create the biggest spectacle, with Dubai as the filming location.

Together, we'll make a film that can be remembered in Middle Eastern history!"

Saying this, Hamandan slapped his forehead hard and said to Joe Ga, "Hu Lang, my father originally wanted to collaborate with you to implement aid for a group of Rohingya refugees in the Myanmar Store, where a humanitarian disaster is currently occurring.

But it seems there's no need for that now, I'll arrange for some supplies to be sent to the refugee camps in Bangladesh, we'll focus on the movie instead..."

Joe Ga was stunned to hear this, then waved his hand and said, "You're funding it, I'll arrange for the supplies.

When the time comes, send a representative from Dubai, and I'll ensure you get enough exposure."

Saying this, Joe Ga chuckled and shook his head, looking at Hamandan said, "The Rohingya have a terrible reputation, their separatist forces are a headache for the Myanmar Store government.

That Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi is called the Southeast Asian Mandela by some European and American media, yet she can't placate the Rohingya; if you interfere, you may not gain any advantage."

Hamandan said helplessly, "There's no choice, currently there's nowhere in the world where we can easily intervene, the Rohingya, after all, are MSL..."

Joe Ga sneered and shook his head, "The Rohingya issue is a sin created by the English, and you don't dare to criticize England, meddling in such inconsequential matters is pointless."

Saying this, Joe Ga was momentarily stunned, then looked at Hamandan and said, "FUCK, I heard you came over from England...

Do you know an old man named Claverley?"

This time it was Hamandan's turn to be stunned, he instinctively said, "Mr. Claverley is the Queen's political advisor..."

Saying this, Hamandan looked at Joe Ga, who had a face of realization, and lamented, "Hu Lang, look beyond but don't speak out, we're still good friends!"
