Joe Ga's communication with Gami was unknown to the outside world…
Originally, Joe Ga should have personally intervened, applying both carrot and stick to make those warlords submit and faithfully follow the path he had laid out for them.
But now, under Gami's advice, Joe Ga had decided to let more professional people handle these issues.
A relatively mild loan contract…
An unimpeded channel for importing mining equipment…
A set of not overly harsh mine management standards…

Those 'kidnapped' warlords even felt like they were dreaming!
Although they needed to have their funds monitored until the debts were repaid, what of it?
Now, by signing, they could legitimately become owners of a mine and freely engage in mining and trading.
Even in the worst-case scenario, they would just go bankrupt, since the money was all borrowed, what loss could they have?
The transfer fee for 142 mining properties sent Ngonga's blood pressure through the roof.
Nearly 150 million euros in transfer fees suddenly enriched the Butembo Government.
Although this money was still in the accounts of P.B. Financial Company, Ngonga now had the confidence to try initiating some infrastructure projects.
At this time, personnel from China Construction Corporation approached voluntarily, stating that if P.B. would guarantee for Butembo Government, they could provide funds in advance to enter North Kivu and start large-scale infrastructure projects.
I know your funds are insufficient, no worries, such projects cannot be completed in just a year or two. As long as P.B. is willing to guarantee, I believe in your payment capabilities.
Would Joe Ga be willing to guarantee?
Not to mention the loan processing fees, guarantees could also extract a service fee.
Then Joe Ga found that not a dime of that money had moved, it all sat in his account.
However, the financial statements showed that with every fund transfer, the financial company took a commission, and his own financial company earned a lot of money.
Someone in the company even suggested trying to establish a connection with China Construction Corporation, providing them with project loans if necessary…
This was truly eating from both ends, earning from both sides, making everyone happy!
Joe Ga could swear he had never thought it through so much, but in the end, he also had to admire his own 'far-sightedness.'
By leaving the technical tasks to the professionals, and having Old Karman assist from the sidelines, those warlords easily gave in with gratitude.
After acting respectably for three days, Joe Ga realized his role as a mascot was rather useless, so he went with Prince Saiyide to Virunga National Park, over 100 kilometers away.
The 'hunting guide company's' business had never stopped, and Sayyid's enthusiasm for the hunting company was boundless.
Virunga National Park, being a natural world heritage site, could not be missed.
It was Joe Ga's first time in one area seeing 'grasslands,' 'swamps,' 'volcanoes,' 'snowy mountains,' 'jungles'...
The abundance of animals here was incredible!
Had he not come here, Joe Ga would have never known that birds from Siberia flew here to winter.
Without seeing it firsthand, one could hardly believe the strength of the mountain gorillas was not exaggerated.
Though these big fellas had somewhat shorter legs and not much capital, when it came to strength, they were certainly top-notch.
The guided tour in Virunga National Park, armed with guns, escorted a group of big shots around the park for a week, finally allowing Prince Sayyid to find a plot of land he was satisfied with.
Located on the savannah, near marshes, and backed by snowy mountains, this prime location, along with Virunga National Park's annual hunting quota, was available for just two million US dollars.
The price was so low that even Prince Sayyid found it unbelievable!
He wrote a check to acquire the needed land and quota for the 'Hunting Company,' and then, due to an incident, his trip came to an abrupt end.
Ambassador Steven and Prince Alesani, who had joined the excursion, unfortunately contracted malaria. Joe Ga had no choice but to escort them to the airport so they could leave Africa immediately and fly directly to Dubai for treatment.
And just like it was planned, as soon as Ambassador Steven left Africa, the business negotiations in Sangha Town finally concluded.
Africa Daddy secured several major foundational projects, maintaining his presence.
Meanwhile, Sangha Town retained all its core industries, not slowing down its progress despite external disruptions.
The Foreign Legion left in Central Africa moved to the former peacekeeping camp in Benghazi.
This was not the end yet, as it seemed that France, determined to cement Qiao Boss's status as a 'friend,' dispatched two French SAS units into Liberia to assist the renowned Devil Bird in attacking the terrorist base in Tubruq.
To say Tubruq terrorists were anxious would be an understatement...
With several Tier 1 special forces units lurking, searching, and targeting in the city, Devil Bird conducted precise bombings every few days, driving the terrorists completely underground.
Under the continuous assault and the call from Byrdi City, the urban population of Tubruq finally triggered a massive refugee crisis.
When the population of Tubruq reached a critically low number, the impatient Wagner Mercenaries, Seville Paratroopers, and newly arrived Tuareg soldiers began to make their move...
Declaring the occupation of a city was not difficult, but Devil Bird chose to methodically cleanse it.
In order for Qiao Boss to take over a 'clean' city, Nis ordered the artillery and air force to cover those three units, taking the city one building at a time, vowing to eliminate all the base terrorists.
Joe Ga was not on the battlefield, but the data sent from the front lines was enough to understand the incredible severity of the urban combat in Tubruq.
The terrorist organization had less than 600 people, yet they fiercely hindered P·B's advance in Tubruq.
Casualties occurred almost daily, not only among the Wagner mercenaries and Seville paratroopers, but also among the Tier 1 teams. One of the most aggressive French SAS squads even had to withdraw from their fighting sequence due to encountering a suicide bomber.
It wasn't that Nis was unwilling to commit resources—as a matter of fact, China's third batch of discounted Blue Sword 7 missiles had been fully deployed, and the fourth batch was reportedly on its way, with even bigger discounts.
However, the dense buildings and complex terrain of Tubruq still limited the effectiveness of these advanced weapons.
Instead, the terrorists' crude IEDs, suicide bombers, car bombs, and snipers in urban warfare caused significant losses for P·B's men.
This is what makes modern warfare both brutal and awkward...
Even the most capable troops could be injured or killed by enemy rocket fire in urban combat.
It wasn't that P·B didn't have the capacity to level Tubruq with heavy bombings, but doing so would be hugely costly!
As time passed, Joe Ga, far away in North Kivu, could feel Nis growing more and more impatient.
Seeing the increasingly large casualty numbers on the war reports, Joe Ga could no longer sit still...
I've been feeling unwell these past few days, managing to persevere despite a fever, but the cough is simply unbearable.
A continuous week of coughing, totally sleepless nights, my mind feels as if covered by a veil, making it hard to clear my thoughts or focus on anything.
Less than ten thousand words, please forgive me!
