King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga settled the captured SAS and then took a look at the Congo officials who had been in class...

He found that even Kabila was engrossed. Standing at the door, he gave Minam a thumbs-up to show his appreciation, then turned around and left the hotel with his men.

The team prepared by the English to handle the aftermath had already arrived. The body of the hanged British Ambassador could not be delayed too long, or it would start to stink.

Claverley wasn't in a hurry at this point. After making a phone call, he chatted with Boss Qiao along the way.

They didn't discuss any important matters, just threw out topics that interested Boss Qiao, then expanded and delved deeper into them.

This guy was a diplomatic expert with a unique understanding of international affairs, which not only benefited Boss Qiao greatly but also made him grow fonder of him.

The old chap had the style of a traditional English gentleman and a sense of humor, making it easy to feel close to him.

It's a typical emotional strategy!

Joe Ga didn't know what Claverley wanted from him, but he enjoyed interacting with such an interesting old chap.

Talking with him not only revealed many unknown things but also various entertaining gossip and secrets.

Until their vehicle arrived at the entrance of the British Embassy, Claverley suddenly said, "Hu Lang, integrating the Congo's industries will shake France's interests. Are you ready?"

Joe Ga, just about to get out of the car, was taken aback and said, "I'm a staunch ally of France, they are also shareholders of the soon-to-be-established Joint Air Force.

What should I prepare for?"

Claverley gave a slight nod and said, "I understand! The tensions in Syria were deliberately created by you, so you are so confident..."

Joe Ga frowned upon hearing this and said, "That's slander, France and I are good friends."

Claverley shook his head and said, "But you stirred up such a big mess in the Congo, so that might not be the case!

You need to be a bit careful!"

Looking at him, Claverley said, "Your actions in Niger and Mali are too large, you should restrain yourself.

The 'Red Moon Dune Plan' is France's largest geopolitical investment in Africa in the past decade, you shouldn't steal their thunder."

The average person would interpret this as a warning from Claverley, but Joe Ga paused and then looked at Claverley in surprise, saying, "The Jihadist organizations in North Africa are developing quickly, keeping the French busy...

Someone just doesn't want to make things easy for France, right?"

Claverley shook his head and said, "Don't look at me like that, it's not us, we've already left the European Union...

We're overwhelmed with our own troubles now and have no time to worry about the French!"

Joe Ga saw the helpless expression on Claverley's face and laughed heartily, saying, "I talked to Cameron, that guy said the dumbest thing he ever did was believe the English had intelligence, haha...

You left the EU and even dragged Ireland and Scotland along.

Without EU subsidies and trade benefits, those two countries are having a tough time, I have a hunch they'll eventually hold a referendum to leave England.

I'm waiting to watch that show, haha..."

Claverley sighed helplessly, shook his head awkwardly, and said, "It's indeed a problem, but not unsolvable.

Think about yourself instead!

P·B Bank may bear a French label, but it's not under control, you'll sooner or later clash with them.

Hu Lang, are you interested in investing in a bank in England?

Though London isn't as prestigious as it used to be, it's still Europe's financial hub and the world's largest non-ferrous metal trading center...

Smart people don't put all their eggs in one basket, right?"

Joe Ga, hearing this, didn't hurry to get out of the car but instead crossed his arms and contemplated for a moment...

The strategy to tie up France through Syria was his plan...

This wasn't surprising; it would only be surprising if it ended up pointing back to Boss Qiao.

The ongoing 'wars' between the Syrian Government Forces and the Kurdish are politically motivated, aimed at satisfying French political demands.

This is an open strategy; if Syria and the Kurdish want to steadily share oil interests, they have to do this. If they're too cozy, many will feel unsettled.

Claverley suddenly pointing out that this was Boss Qiao's idea seemed a bit provocative, but it had more of a forewarning intent.

This is also an open strategy, and there surely will be follow-up information...

Claverley made an offer...

If you start a bank here, we'll be on the same team. Of course, I'll inform you of news in advance, maybe even offer help.

This is an indirect approach, as long as P·B establishes or acquires a British bank, England can easily get involved in Congo's integration business through its influence over the bank.

The Congo is vast, besides North Kivu Province and South Kivu Province, there are other areas with industries worth investing in.

Claverley sees the potential for appreciating assets in Congo, using an alternative method to attract Boss Qiao, facilitating the entry of British capital to buy low.

Joe Ga didn't really understand the complexities of the banking industry, but he knew that the primary settlement currency of P·B Bank is the euro.
