King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 938 - 844: The Great Victory
Chapter 938 -844: The Great Victory
The live broadcast from Qatar TV and the subsequent war edits posted online by Wallace have created a media tsunami around the world.
Owner Qiao and his men defended a small village for a week, and as an insider, Wallace’s edited video fully reflected the hardship of the past week.
Gunfire, bullets, explosions, smoke, injuries, exhaustion…
Everyone in the village was overextending their energy and life, with medics by the end having to inject themselves with stimulants to maintain their high-intensity work.
If that were all, people would only think that P·B’s boss led his men to complete a successful strategy.
People would only think that he used himself as bait to cripple the ISIS terrorists in Syria, securing a relatively peaceful environment for the northeast of Syria.
Good, right?
Very good?
Meaningful?
Meaningful!
But for those who have not felt the pain personally, this is just an exhilarating battle; some even think that boss Qiao is showing off, feeling it was unnecessary.
People have long been accustomed to the form of war dominated by America, the small-scale, low-intensity security battles, which is what many people in Europe and America consider a ‘real war’.
Now suddenly a private company has led a high-intensity annihilation battle in a hotspot, solving a problem that NATO has not solved in nearly ten years…
People naturally are not used to this, and then they question, especially those who consider themselves clear-headed.
Wallace, as an embedded journalist, didn’t return to the battlefield after entering the safety zone.
Because he knew that this was just the beginning…
The media wave stirred up by the victory had just started, the slight questioning voices didn’t even have time to ferment, when America broke out with earth-shattering news…
At the press conference, General Maguire expressed jubilantly…
“Thank God!
America has passed through the most difficult moment of this century!
We have successfully thwarted a carefully planned terrorist attack by ISIS.
The dirty bombs ISIS smuggled into America are no longer a problem; New York is no longer in danger.
We can comfortably sit back at our desks, turn our attention to the Middle East, and figure out how to completely eliminate ISIS, this cancer of the world, so we can all enjoy a stable and peaceful environment.
Thank God!
Thanks to the assistance of Attorney General Alicia, the help of DEA, and to the brave New York detectives…
Lastly, I want to thank P·B; their boss Risked his life to hold back the main force of ISIS and provided us with bargaining chips for negotiation.
I am even more grateful for the P·B soldiers, as the terrorists were ready to detonate the dirty bomb at ‘Freedom Tower’, they delivered bullets into the bodies of those terrorists.
It was they who saved Manhattan…
I thank them!
They turned a tragedy into a great victory!
I know Hu Lang is still fighting in Syria, but it doesn’t matter, we will soon be there…
This time we will uproot ISIS completely!
We will let them know that the justice of this world cannot be defeated!
God bless America!”
General Maguire’s press conference was like a bomb dropped onto a placid lake…
When the White House was in chaos over a nuclear weapon that was nearly trafficked…
When American political circles and media were a mess, everyone attacking and shirking responsibility from each other…
Only now did everyone realize that a sword of Damocles had always hung over their heads.
After the whole truth became apparent, people began to rethink…
Oh, so there was a reason for everything!
Only at this time did people realize that when America’s aircraft carriers were idle in the Persian Gulf, when the United State Army in Syria dared not move, it was the company P·B that was on the forefront of the fight against ISIS.
The mercenary battle with ISIS had been going on for half a year.
In the most dangerous final stages, P·B’s boss Hu Lang, to cooperate with the CIA’s counter-terrorism operations, bore the betrayal of the Pentagon and placed himself in the most dangerous position, then attracted all the fire.
At this point, when America looks back at the victory boss Qiao achieved in Syria, it no longer feels the victory is unrelated to them.
Simple praise turned into excited, almost incoherent gratitude, along with complaints about the White House and the Pentagon.
From beginning to end, the White House didn’t seem to have taken any effective action in people’s view.
Major General Maguire clearly pointed out that the ones who finally solved the problem were also P·B’s people…
This does not make sense, so the public directed their inquiries towards the White House staff.
The White House staff encountered embarrassing questions at the press conference…
This president, who was mentally and physically exhausted by the counterattack of the military-industrial complex, hesitated for nearly a minute and finally, pinching his nose, said…
“I am proud of what the company P·B has done!
God bless America!”
As this career-ending brother was speaking, he declared with a serious expression…
“We will work together with our allies to launch a deadly strike against ISIS!
We want to restore stability in Iraq, we have a big nation’s responsibilities to fulfill!”
No sooner had the brother finished his speech, waiting for applause, a reporter from a New York media outlet raised his hand and called out loudly, “Sir, do you have anything you want to say to Hu Lang?
We have the most powerful military in the world, but for some time, we’ve allowed P·B to fight alone in Syria.
We all know that P·B has achieved a pivotal victory…
But we want to know, why is it P·B, why is it a private military contracting company?
We’ve been pouring vast amounts of money into that region since the Iraq War began.
Soldiers have died there, taxpayers’ money has been spent there…
Why?
Why do we, having the most powerful military in the world, proved powerless against ISIS in the past, allowing them to grow to their current strength?
Sir, is there really no problem with our foreign policy?” freeweɓnøvel.com
The brother realized instantly that this was a reporter from his own side…
The question was loaded with implication, it was an opportunity to stab the military-industrial complex in the back.
Taking advantage of this moment with tremendous viewership, pinning the blame on the military-industrial complex could help the Democratic establishment gain an advantageous position in the political struggle.
This guy pretended to be troubled, waved to dismiss the press officer who wanted to interject, then after a moment of silence, he said with a heavy tone, “We do indeed have the strongest military in the world, but any action we take must be accountable to our own citizens and allies…
You asked me, why we didn’t do as well as P·B?
I can tell you, we have many internal issues, as you know…
There are people who wanted to sell a nuclear bomb to terrorists!
Go see the battlefields in Iraq and Syria, there are a lot of ‘Stinger’ missiles there, which pose a huge threat to us.
Some people are not satisfied with trafficking dangerous weapons, they’re also manipulating the course of wars.
I must thank P·B. It’s because of them we’ve temporarily stepped out of the mire to re-examine our problems.
But this does not mean that everything we’ve done in the past was wrong. We must acknowledge that the flexibility of private military companies surpassed our own military.
I must admit that Hu Lang is an excellent man, but don’t forget, he is a contractor, he works for us, and most of the weapons he uses are provided by us.
Dirty bombs restricted the United State Army’s combat, but that doesn’t mean we lack courage!
Now that the dirty bomb crisis is resolved, I ask you to wait patiently for a while…
You will see again how our team shreds the enemy!”
The brother nearly implied that P·B used extreme methods in the war.
He had been doing well slinging mud at the military-industrial complex, but this guy’s covert move added insult to injury, and made him lose many of the positive impressions he had just regained.
Wallace’s war videos are still online, and it’s widely acknowledged that Qiao’s manpower is pitifully scarce.
As the besieged party, using any means to counterattack is only natural.
More importantly, as things stand, everything Qiao has done was not for himself.
No matter how much money he collected, he has completed the mission beyond expectations.
The dirty bomb was found, ISIS’s Syrian forces were decimated…
What else do you want?
As soon as the brother finished speaking, he realized there was a problem with what he said, but since the words were out, he couldn’t change them, and could only leave the scene amidst the barrage of questions from reporters, appearing slightly embarrassed.
This guy now had too many things to mediate, of course starting with firing the White House office assistant, the one who made him miss General Maguire’s crucial phone call…
General Maguire was once considered his man, even being made a scapegoat, Maguire has never shown much resistance.
Pushing such a loyal man to take desperate measures, joining forces with the Department of Justice, DEA, New York Police to take action, he succeeded without uttering a bad word about the White House.
And such a person was turned away by everyone when he sought help.
In the eyes of some political animals in the White House and Capitol Hill, national security is far less important than their political interests!
The brother walked into his office, sat in his chair and tiredly rubbed his temples, then picked up the phone and after dialing said, “Send Aaron to contact those people, we need to achieve a result in the shortest possible time.
We need their cooperation, so we can regain the public’s trust!”
“………..”
“FUCK, don’t be so naïve!
We need a result that can be justified, not to tear apart the whole of America!
Do I have to write in my memoirs that it was a terrorist named Hafali who caused all this?”
“………..”
“Yes, immediately, right now, get Aaron to act, find a suitable prison for those captured guys to be locked up…”
“………..”
“I don’t fucking know what to do with them, you’re the fucking responsible one, or you can go and ask them yourself to see what they’ll say…”
