King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga figured out something...

The best way to avoid being scapegoated is to make a big move to clarify your own stance, and then do everything possible to protect the Nord Stream from harm.

In the end, the Nord Stream might still be destroyed, but those people cannot create additional trouble once their strategic goals are achieved.

Because the P.B organization is different, if they try to frame P.B after P.B has already made a clear stance, it will definitely cause Europe to rebound by leveraging P.B...

This is harmful to their grand strategy!

Those old guys are top-notch masters of power play, and in some ways, they are actually quite similar to Boss Qiao...

They don't target a single issue or individual separately; they usually involve their opponents while executing their own strategies, which is much more skillful and less laborious than acting themselves.

Boss Qiao himself is a top-notch expert in this aspect, and now, realizing that these old folks operate the same way, he is even a bit delighted, because it shows that the path he has explored is actually somewhat aligned with the top level of power deceit...

Most importantly, he indirectly proved his own 'correctness', which is a huge boost to his confidence.

When new people join a company, they have to undergo some tests. When Boss Qiao stepped into the top tier of power, encountering some rejection reactions was normal.

Previously, he had missed a lot of key information, leading to a series of misjudgments and anxiety, which even caused him to become a bit insecure.

But now, it's different. By disregarding those high-level struggles and focusing the confrontation on a specific matter, there are actually solutions!

And as long as he sees the other party's intentions clearly, even allies can be readily available!

France and Germany!

These two currently are the actual leaders of the European Union. Although due to America's influence and various ideological and interest-based bindings, they sometimes seem particularly weak, no one can underestimate their determination to lead the European Union.

Joe Ga can easily pull them in on the Nord Stream issue, because it's P.B who is taking action, and Boss Qiao bears the most pressure, they only need to endorse the legitimacy of P.B's actions.

Around 8 PM, Xiao Ma arrived at The Regent's Park with his assistant and security personnel, along with a special assistant of the German Chancellor.

The atmosphere at the manor was very good in the evening because many friends had come...

The family of the Swedish Crown Princess was there, as was Carl's family, who had their royal status revoked.

Joe Ga met Xiao Ma in a reception room...

As soon as Xiao Ma sat down, the first thing he said was...

"Hu Lang, are you sure America will sabotage the Nord Stream?"

Joe Ga flipped through some items in the reception room, found a box of cigars that didn't look cheap, took one out and handed it to Xiao Ma, then spread his hands and said, "Do I need to bring over the CIA's top-secret plans for you to see?"

Saying this, Joe Ga looked at Xiao Ma's expectant face, shook his head and said, "I asked Eric, and according to America's official statement, the plan was canceled and sealed.

Not to mention that I can't get the original as evidence, even if I did, what could you do with it?"

Xiao Ma shook his head and said, "Nord Stream is critical!

But the key isn't its energy transmission capability, but its symbolic significance!

As long as Nord Stream exists, our connection with Great Russia won't be completely severed.

As long as Nord Stream exists, we always have leverage in negotiations with Great Russia."

Joe Ga understood what Xiao Ma meant; Nord Stream could actually be seen as a chip to control the supplier as the 'sole buyer'.

Because Europe is Nord Stream's only client, Great Russia doesn't even have full pricing power for its energy output.

As long as Nord Stream exists, Europe has room to maneuver...

Joe Ga looked at Xiao Ma's serious expression and said with a smile, "Even if Nord Stream is attacked, it's not an irretrievable disaster...

The seabed pipeline can be repaired if it can be built, but once Nord Stream is attacked, it means Great Russia must give up its last illusions about you and use Nord Stream to threaten you in return.

In such a situation, getting Boss Pu back to the negotiating table won't be so easy!

Look at what you've done...

When the war in Ukraine started, you kicked Great Russia out of the Swift system, clearly trying to make their economy collapse, yet you shamelessly set a price cap on Great Russia's energy.

Do they care about you? Did you limit them?

Clearly, Boss Pu also wants to negotiate, but Ukraine has been calling for negotiations every few days, only to stand them up repeatedly, using lies and tantrums to stall for time.

This approach has led to various failures on Great Russia's eastern front, and turbulence on the southern front...

Boss Pu temporarily cannot change the nature of the 'special military operation'; his best move is to increase the intensity of local wars to accumulate chips through a war of attrition.

If there are still individuals within Europe holding on to the idea that Great Russia might collapse, I urge you to abandon the fantasy.

America raises interest rates, and you follow suit, resulting in you being breached, with inflation reaching its highest levels in years.

Raising interest rates along with financial capital's large-scale migration to America, you face problems in liquidity amidst inflation.

On top of that, there's the refugee issue; how long do you think Europe can withstand this?"

With that, Joe Ga lit his cigar and said with a smile, "Who do you think will suffer the most if the Nord Stream is cut off?

Has your German counterpart made any contingency plans in this regard?

I asked Gami, and he said the German bank's investments in U.S. bonds have reached the highest level in the past decade.

Inflation and reduced liquidity happening simultaneously; in this situation, Germany's internal industrial capital cannot withstand it.

We all know that most European companies could hardly last three months without bank loans!"

Xiao Ma took a big puff of his cigar, saying helplessly, "Hu Lang, sometimes ideological issues lead the European Union to make many decisions that seem unreasonable to you.

Even if such 'unreasonableness' causes huge losses..."

Saying this, Xiao Ma coughed and said helplessly, "Let's not talk about this topic. I just want to know, how confident are you in preventing Nord Stream from being sabotaged?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "Not even half sure!

The Baltic Sea is an area I have never ventured into, and I haven't even had any dealings with any of the surrounding countries.

More importantly, once America decides to exert force, someone within NATO will definitely cooperate with them.

And I can be sure that Norway and Poland are definitely involved.

In this situation, to protect Nord Stream, you guys have to give me the highest level of authorization first...

I need to deploy unmanned airships over the Baltic Sea, while I will find a way to rent a temporary airport in Sweden...

You will have to find a way to help persuade the Swedish side and endorse my legitimacy."

Hearing this, Xiao Ma said in horror, "Do you have to make it so big?"

Joe Ga sneered and said, "If my fleet wasn't currently all in the Black Sea, I would want to dispatch ships to patrol the Baltic Sea. Now I can only temporarily buy a cargo ship to make do with.

Be psychologically prepared; if I don't make a big move this time, it won't be over!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ma worriedly said, "Previously, you told me that those people wanted to use Nord Stream to frame you; why not simply find and eliminate those with contracts for deadly strike groups?"

Saying this, Xiao Ma looked at Joe Ga with a meaningful expression, and he said helplessly, "Alright, killing those people is completely useless.

You intend to determine your own stance through a big move!

Then I think you can seek recognition from Great Russia on the issue of protecting Nord Stream."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga said in surprise, "Is that possible? Can you accept it?"

Xiao Ma helplessly said, "The external German special advisor can make limited contact with Great Russia.

Germany is a shareholder of Nord Stream; they have the qualification and position to coordinate on this issue with Great Russia.

I believe Great Russia is also willing to see P.B enter the Baltic Sea as a third party!"

Saying this, Xiao Ma sighed and said, "Ultimately, whether Nord Stream can be preserved is not important; what's important is that we avoid pushing Great Russia into a corner...

At the very least, we have to let Great Russia understand that such a situation is not what we want to see!

In any case, be careful when you go to the Baltic Sea; the current situation is very complex, and no one knows who will initiate the attack in the end.

The Emperor Goose faction within Great Russia has been very active lately, extremely dissatisfied with Boss Pu's policies; they are easy for the CIA to exploit in such circumstances."
