King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1857 - 1535: A Happy Accident

Joe Ga could only call it a spontaneous action, which delivered a heavy blow to the Edward Foundation!

Those accustomed to doing bad things always believe that lawless zones influenced by war are their playgrounds.

Little do they know that such a place is where Joe Ga, accustomed to war, truly feels at home.

Here, not only are there no legal constraints, but the 'rules of order' that could influence Joe Ga have significantly loosened.

The Edward Foundation may be wealthy, with many assets and influence worldwide, but they are still not on the same level as those who reshaped world order after WWII.

Strictly speaking, much of the Edward Foundation's business is actually serving those 'above the ceiling.'

'Divine beings' have no need for emotions and don't care what you do, as long as you live within the rules they have woven.

Whether you win or lose matters not to them at all!

Although Joe Ga has repeatedly leveraged political maneuvering to stir the regional situation, he has yet to reach the level of disrupting the rules.

But his influence, negotiation skills in certain regions, and most importantly, his perspective from the grassroots level have made those people feel his threat and value.

The threat lies in P·B's third-world trade network led by Jia Liang Trade and the electronic trading system exclusive to the Jia Liang Trade network that can adjust currency rules at any time...

To them, it's like a bone stuck in the throat...

Swallowing it offers no nutrition, but spitting it out would tear the throat.

Joe Ga's ability to manipulate the rules is unparalleled, and as long as he adheres to the rules, those people cannot violate the rules they set.

Otherwise, anything they do in the future might be like a boomerang hitting back on their own faces.

So, they began to pressure P·B through certain means, trying to tame Joe Ga, and then use him as a bargaining chip.

They could use P·B to balance the rules they created, ensuring that key locations related to energy and resources remain under their control.

If taming is impossible, a company like P·B must be suppressed from the perspective of political correctness, giving him no voice at all.

However, what Joe Ga did with the Warrior Space Center made them very uncomfortable!

Because standing on the human race's standpoint, achievements like moon landing, from any angle, cannot be suppressed!

And once core interests diverge, it becomes tough for those people to unite and take action against Joe Ga.

From this angle, the massive entity, Edward Foundation, is actually lagging behind P·B in its ecological niche!

Joe Ga doesn't even know exactly what the old fellow Sergey did, from when they set out to the time Joe Ga received the news—it was less than ten hours...

"What? The English want to negotiate with me? Negotiate what?"

When Joe Ga received a call from Isa from the English Intelligence Service, he had no idea what was going on...

On the other end, the English agent Isa thought Joe Ga was stalling her, and angrily said, "Hu Lang, your people have sealed off the Cecil Hotel, killed the Ukraine Intelligence Bureau personnel, and even hanged their deputy director in the hotel lobby.

Now you've trapped everyone in their rooms, wanting to inspect them one by one...

Do you know what you are doing?"

Joe Ga was taken aback after hearing this and said to Aaron's little honey, "Is it possible that the guy hanged himself?"

Isa cursed, "Yes, the guy hanged himself, but it was a fat old man wearing a P·B uniform who kicked the stool from under him and even shot him in the stomach.

Hu Lang, are you out of your mind? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The Cecil Hotel houses many European intelligence personnel, you know how much trouble searching them could cause?"

Joe Ga, a bit displeased, said, "I lost something very important..."

Isa shouted angrily, "But that doesn't mean you can storm into the hotel and have everyone undergo a search, that's fucking illegal!"

Joe Ga sneered, "I am in my own hotel, searching for my lost items, what's wrong with getting a little emotional?

I know it's illegal, why don't you call the United Nations and file a complaint against me.

I'm telling you, Jemma's kidnapping is definitely related to the intelligence agencies, I'm not sure who it involves, so everyone is a suspect.

I initially targeted the Ukraine Intelligence Bureau because today's roadside bombing was their doing.

But from what you're saying, the hotel is filled with NATO agents...

Well, great, I'll invite everyone to stay well-fed and well-rested at my hotel for a few days until I get some leads on Jemma, then I'll let you go."

Isa, in disbelief, said, "You're planning to detain NATO intelligence personnel for no reason?

Are you out of your mind?"

"Are your people still planning to come to my room and search my luggage?"

"I have evidence here of Aaron bribing Ukrainian officials, as well as your repeated arms dealings with him. Do you want to take these and make them public too?"

Joe Ga was taken aback, saying, "You're actually in the hotel too. No wonder Aaron, that bastard, seems so powerful. It turns out you've been using the NATO intelligence system to assist him...

That bastard even has a daughter who is a few years old, yet he still keeps a mistress. What a scoundrel...

Why don't you join me? I guarantee in three to five years, you'll be able to spit in that bastard's face, and he won't dare retaliate."

Isa, feeling on the verge of a breakdown, said, "Hu Lang, my current position is as a special envoy for the English Diplomatic and Federal Affairs Department. I'm carrying important intelligence material. I can't be searched, otherwise, I'll lose my position."

Joe Ga listened and, with a smile, said, "Understood, you're an official now, requiring reasonable and respectable treatment.

Lock your door and give me your room number. I'll have my people temporarily lay off your room.

Then quickly call your superior. If you want me to let you off, someone needs to give me a little incentive."

Isa was somewhat baffled by Joe Ga's logic and instinctively said, "We're on the same side... "

Joe Ga matter-of-factly replied, "I know, but your superior doesn't know that either.

No matter who they are, if they want to get you out without paying something, how can their leadership capabilities shine?"

Saying this, Joe Ga paused, then curiously asked, "Your identity is as an official in the English Diplomatic and Federal Affairs Department?

I haven't heard of America officially sending officials to Ukraine. Does this mean America plans to delegate some of Ukraine's issues to England?"

Isa was caught off guard by the question and was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm not particularly clear on specifics, but currently, NATO's main forces in Ukraine consist of America, England, Australia, and Poland.

Moreover, the current Ukrainian government is deeply dependent on America!

What exactly are you trying to say?"

Joe Ga chuckled and said, "Even if I explain, you wouldn't understand. Quickly call your superior to have them communicate with me.

I have a hunch, if you can stir up a little commotion in Ukraine, you might just get a promotion and a raise when you return..."

"What exactly are you talking about?"

Joe Ga didn't answer Isa's question. After hanging up the phone, instead of heading directly to the Cecil Hotel, he called Sergey, instructed him on a few things, and then opened his computer to review the recent economic news...

Joe Ga hadn't expected that a retaliatory raid would catch so many fish...

Maybe they're not big fish, but it doesn't matter. To protect these small fish, the organizations behind them will surely make some compromises.

Spies are not protected by the law!

Though Joe Lapo doesn't have the authority of law, with the war ongoing, laws have relaxed, and he has just survived a bomb attack, which gives him the nerve to cause a fuss in his hotel.

Most importantly, it's like he realized something, gaining clarity on the strategic intent of those 'people above the ceiling.'

This is the key to Joe Ga's game with them and his pursuit of victory!

These old foxes that shaped the post-WWII world order are true politicians...

Besides trying to extend their hegemony through war, they're also using Ukraine to draw another route for America.

Secretary of State Brin has mentioned more than once in public the intent to enact a series of reforms, having the federal government directly invest to enhance America's ability for direct market intervention. This includes not just financial markets, but also infrastructure and industrial systems.

The Federal Reserve has already begun two rounds of interest rate hikes, with immense capital flows rushing into America, causing not just allies but economies strongly tied to the US Dollar to start trembling...

Theoretically, to maximize benefits, America should lower interest rates now, prompting capital outflows to seize those rapidly devaluing assets in other countries.

But this hasn't occurred; instead, they continue to raise interest rates.

The Federal Reserve's external narrative is all about curbing inflation, but after Joe Ga's conversation with Isa, he started feeling something was off.

England's diplomatic skills have always been shrewd, primarily through negotiation, but sending Isa, someone from such a high position in their intelligence department, indicates England might have received some kind of promise...

Upon further investigation into America's capital flow, Joe Ga formed a general impression...

America is preparing...

The Secretary of State is lobbying to establish a federally led enterprise to intervene in the market; effectively, they're planning to create state-owned enterprises!

Within a capital system, the creation of state-owned enterprises is a strategy to leverage financial and policy advantages to enhance centralization during economic downturns.

It is well known that America is decentralized, with the federal government's power primarily reflected in its control over the global supply chain, international finance, and transnational capital management.

The White House wants to strengthen centralization, ostensibly for domestic issues, and likely to update infrastructure and restart industrialization.

This is quite intriguing...
