King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 310 Turning Point

Joe Ga, having heard the explanation, immediately realized that it was Jemma who had prompted Alexander to help.

This beautiful doctor carried a heavy responsibility; it wasn't an exaggeration to say whether her career soared in the latter half of her life depended on this charity endeavor in Central Africa.

She needed to coordinate not just various relationships, but also their interests.

With $20 million in medical supplies and $40 million in funds, if used well, whether she planned to grow in the medical field or shift to politics, this would be an extremely dazzling fortune.

Her technical abilities, organizational skills, overall planning, coordination, and political acumen, including her kindness, would all be reflected in the charity work in Central Africa.

Now that the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, if Joe Ga was dissatisfied, Jemma's venture into Central Africa would turn into a farce.

Joe Ga, as someone who approved of Jemma's methods and was in fact the actual beneficiary, could not possibly use the situation as a bargaining chip, even making veiled implications was not acceptable, after Alexander had expressed his goodwill thoroughly.

To do so would not only be despised by others, but even if he obtained what he wanted from Alexander, he would have offended him deeply.

Joe Ga looked at Jemma and said, "Jemma, your parents love you very much; your family must be incredibly happy!"

Then Joe Ga spread his hands towards Alexander and said, "Sir, helping Jemma is because she is my friend, and also because what she's doing in Central Africa is true charity.

Even if we miss a good opportunity this time, it's okay; our agreement still stands, and I can assure you of Jemma's safety in Central Africa.

Furthermore, I am willing to forego the $5 million commission. I'd like to ask you to convert that money into medical supplies and send it to Jemma's hands.

There are too many eyes on her; she needs a bit of extra resources to handle things smoothly.

As for the international contracting qualifications, I think I can take it slow. I believe in my abilities and sincerity, so I will always have opportunities."

To be honest, William Alexander was very upset about the trouble Joe Ga had caused in New York because it disrupted his plans and even led to a very unpleasant fallout with an old friend, a kind of 'unpleasantness' that could affect a series of his endeavors.

He put up with coaxing Joe Ga, indeed because of Jemma, since they had no other options at the moment.

He could pay mercenaries, but mercenaries could only ensure Jemma's safety; without Joe Ga's approval, Jemma would face great resistance in doing anything in Central Africa.

Joe Ga's current status in Central Africa made it imperative for the Alexander Couple to have him on their team to escort and protect their daughter!

Alexander expressed his difficulties as tactfully as possible, but he didn't expect Joe Ga to be more generous than he had imagined, speaking and acting with immense grace and always considering Jemma.

This caught Alexander somewhat off guard. He had imagined many reactions from Joe Ga—turning hostile, pleading, threatening...

But he never expected that Joe Ga would promise to ensure Jemma's safety without getting anything in return and even voluntarily give up the $5 million commission in exchange for providing Jemma with more comfortable resources.

Of course, for someone like Alexander, he would not be completely reassured letting Jemma be with Joe Ga without locking Joe Ga down in America and finalizing a formal contract.

But now, Joe Ga's conduct was indeed a pleasant and comfortable surprise for him.

Looking at Joe Ga's smile, Alexander was momentarily stunned, then shook his head, smiling at his wife, and said, "I think we should not let the goodwill of a young man go to waste."

Alicia looked at Joe Ga with an admiring gaze and said, "You should listen to William's so-called 'different approach'. Being too eager to show your bottom line will lead to losses elsewhere."

Joe Ga laughed heartily and said carelessly, "Jemma and I are friends; friends cannot be used as chips.

And I don't think you would let me suffer losses. Honestly, you are the most action-driven parents I have ever seen.

I should note your actions in a notebook, so when I have children of my own someday, I hope I can also help them realize their desires while giving them a push in their careers."

Alicia, almost sixty, was delighted upon hearing this and grabbed Joe Ga's hand, saying, "You agree with my point of view, right?

William always complains that I like to meddle in Jemma's life, but we both know it's for Jemma's good."

Joe Ga didn't know what Alicia's point of view was, but he still nodded decisively and said, "I can feel that Jemma is happy working in Central Africa; she needs your support and understanding, of course, you have done much more!

I bet as long as you aren't planning on making Jemma break up with TC, she'll be happy."

As soon as Alicia heard the name TC, she reflexively rolled her eyes and then, under Jemma's reproachful gaze, raised her hands in surrender, "OK, I admit TC is a decent man…"

Continuing, Alicia made a disapproving face at Joe Ga, then laughed and said, "William's 'different approach' will take a long time before you can get the military contracting qualifications.

However, I received some not very good news about you an hour ago, so I got in touch with a few old friends. After asking for their opinions, I think we can look at the problem from a different angle."

Joe Ga then completely relaxed, pulled his chair closer to Alicia, took a sip of coffee, and said with a smile, "I believe what I need more right now is legal assistance."

"I swear, none of this was my intention, I was always just defending myself, I was forced into it..."

Alicia looked at Joe Ga with a 'I am so wronged' face, she smiled and glanced at her watch, then said, "So, since William couldn't resolve your problem, I'll help you think of a solution.

First, you need to tell me what exactly you have done..."

Joe Ga looked into Alicia's smiling eyes, smacked his lips, and earnestly said, "I was summoned by two officers, and just as I was about to reach the police station, I encountered a premeditated ambush by gunmen..."

Alicia waved her hand and said, "Is there a possibility that those two officers were in cahoots with the gunmen and they deliberately led you into a trap?

If I were you, I would request the internal affairs department of the New York police to intervene..."

Joe Ga looked at Alicia with amazement and said admiringly, "I can't believe I didn't think of that. It must be the good image of New York police that influenced my judgment, so I overlooked the fact that bad guys could be anywhere."

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at Alicia who was smiling and gesturing for him to continue. After thinking for a while, he said, "After I escaped from the site of the ambush in New York, I drove around a few times to shake off anyone who might be following me, and finally, I received a message to come here...

I heard that an Armenian gang in Yonkers actually snatched a heart from a hospital that was meant to save a child, God bless, in the end, a kind-hearted person gave the heart to the child's father."

Alicia listened, nodded solemnly, and said, "OK, you can tell the truth to anyone who asks you, and for any accusations without substantial evidence, you can let your lawyer respond."

Alicia looked at Joe Ga, who had a 'I knew it' expression, and lightly smacked his arm with a smile, admonishingly saying, "You actually took it seriously?

God teaches us not to lie, especially unnecessary lies!

You're an international military contractor working with the DEA to fight Armenian drug trafficking gangs; you're assisting the DEA in cleaning up drug trade in New York."

Alicia's twist was somewhat unexpected, Joe Ga blinked incredulously and said, "So, I'm actually with the DEA?"

Alicia patted Joe Ga's hand and said with a smile, "To be precise, you are a military contractor working with the DEA.

The DEA has always been short-staffed. When they enforce the law in other parts of the world, they often face the trouble of being understaffed, so they look for reliable military companies to collaborate with."

Joe Ga hesitated for a moment and said, "What if, and I'm just saying what if, there's something questionable about my company's qualifications, is my collaboration with the DEA still legal in America?"

Alicia frowned and said, "How could there be any problem?

You're a legal military contractor, and the day before yesterday, you signed an agreement with the DEA to help them fight against the Glorious Society's influence within America.

Even if the FBI has objections and the agreement is sent to the Department of Justice for review, it would still take a week to get a response..."

Joe Ga immediately understood her point, this was to prepare some paperwork quickly to shut everyone up.

As long as the company is in America with DEA backing and the Department of Justice's endorsement, the international military contracting qualification is essentially secured.

The only inconvenience would be in securing large contracts from the American military without going through the Pentagon.

But Joe Ga didn't care about that, he only needed legal qualification to become a legitimate arms procurement merchant.

To Joe Ga, this was like a gun license. Previously, P·B could only procure from Yuginebert Company, but with this qualification, he could legally buy from any arms company in the world and engage in legal arms trade activities.

As for to whom he would eventually sell... well...

Joe Ga never imagined that salvation could come in such a roundabout way. Following Alicia's suggestion, he was actually 'enforcing the law' today. If DEA agents jump out, they might even receive credit since there were indeed large amounts of drugs there.

Although the destruction was a flaw, but in such intense combat, who would think of that?

Were we supposed to save the drugs from a fire in the hail of bullets?

With that in mind, Joe Ga took out his phone, opened the email Chris had sent him, and moved closer to Alicia, laughing and saying, "Could you help me take a look? I'm just about to 'change' the company's name. Please give me your opinion."

Alicia saw that the email contained information and rough prices of military companies, she patted the well-prepared Joe Ga and after carefully browsing, she pointed to a company from New Jersey called 'D·P Lethal Strike' and said, "This name isn't bad, it's close to P·B's Powerful Strike but with more impact."

Joe Ga, understanding perfectly, smiled and said, "OK, I got it!"

Alicia saw that Joe Ga really understood and said with a smile, "Later, a DEA supervisor will come to see you, you need to work out the details of your task with him.

Of course, as a DEA collaborator, you'll sometimes need to take necessary responsibility. You okay with that?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said with a smile, "What's the problem in fighting drug traffickers? After all, the DEA pays as well, right?"

Alicia rolled her eyes and then picked up her phone to have a look. She stood up and said, "You sit tight here and don't go out, the DEA person is on their way..."
