From arms dealer to king of war

In fact, the more Chogha asked Comey to calm down, the more nervous he became.

If Choga was like a traditional warlord and forced Comey to be his younger brother, he might have simply surrendered, but when Choga showed a kind side and put the 'decision-making power' of his own destiny into his hands, At that time, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Sometimes random thoughts and worries about gains and losses can destroy a person's spiritual will.

When Comey fell into the vortex of the question "How should I answer to preserve what I have?", he had completely surrendered psychologically.

Comey drank two glasses of whiskey in a row. After his mood stabilized a little, he looked at Boss Qiao who was resting and said hesitantly: "Sir, there are very valuable mineral deposits buried in our land. North Kivu is in chaos. The source is those mining companies and warlords..."

As he spoke, Comey faced Qiao Jia's half-smiling eyes, took another sip of whiskey, and then said nervously: "Of course, I am also a soldier, a warlord...

If you want to calm down North Kivu, you must first calm down the warlords, but if you want to calm down the warlords, you need the cooperation of those mining companies.

A large part of the mining companies have not invested a penny at all in North Kivu. They are more willing to spend money to support some warlords, let them secretly mine mineral deposits, and then sell the things to them...

So if you want to control North Kivu, you need to stop those mining companies.

If, if you need, I can..."

After hearing this, Qiao Jia decisively waved his hand to stop Comey's next words.

Komi did not fully speak to Choga's heart, but he honestly explained the current situation in North Kivu.

The mining companies here are either big brains with backgrounds like the former Belgian Mining Company or Walker Mining Company that are willing to invest and are confident of making long-term profits.

Either it is a mining company that buys mines from the Congolese government and then hires warlords to mine the minerals. This is reasonable.

The worst ones are actually those mining companies! !

They established an office in Butembo, and then cooperated with local warlords, providing them with weapons to mine mineral deposits and then purchasing them at low prices.

They don't care who provides them with minerals. The consequence of this is that the locals in North Kivu feel that as long as someone has a gun, they can seize the minerals and exchange them for money, and then seemingly never-ending chaos ensues.

The mining companies that are actually driving the chaos in North Kivu can sit quietly in Butembo and pick and choose the minerals sent by the chaotic warlords.

If North Kivu is to be stabilized, it is necessary to clean up those mining companies.

But the reality is that the Congolese government has no good way to deal with those "white masters". Butembo's government relies on their support to exist, let alone controlling them.

Comey's words actually imply that if necessary, strong measures can be used to clean out those mining companies, and he can serve as a vanguard.

This is a bit like accepting a certificate of investment, because as long as he does this, it means that he has only one way to go in the future.

Qiao Jia worked hard to get Comey over, of course not to develop a mad dog, so after feeling Comey's determination, he decisively stopped what he said next.

Seeing the 'big shot' Comey being so nervous that he couldn't control his sweat, Qiao Jia suddenly smiled and said: "I feel your sincerity!

Yesterday I met a man named Ngonga, who is Samuel's most effective assistant, and I think he is a good candidate for the new mayor of Butembo.

However, as a newcomer, his strength is too weak. I think Butembo's armed strength needs to be supported by one person.

Butembo needs a strong government to manage the affairs of North Kivu!

It's true that mining companies are a cancer, but if they can't find gangs or warlords to cooperate with, and they want to get benefits from North Kivu, they need to act in accordance with the rules we have set.

I always feel that walking on two legs is more stable, what do you think? "

Comey's mind is confused now, because he can probably understand what Boss Joe said, but he finds it incredible.

Comey knew Ngonga and knew that Ngonga was Samuel's most capable assistant.

Now Joga wants to push Ngonga to the position of mayor of Butembo.

It is not difficult to understand that it is easier to support a local than to start all over again.

What Comey couldn't understand was that Choga seemed ready to hand over Butembo's armed forces to him...

What is this for?

P·B himself is the strongest force, but now he seems to be supporting himself. What is he trying to do?

Comey did not understand that Choga needed P·B to exist as a ‘third party’ in order to maintain his detached status and stance.

Boss Qiao wants a strong North Kivu provincial government that is willing to listen to his own opinions, so he cannot simply treat others as puppets, but needs to enrich the government's configuration from all aspects.

When the rules are formulated, the government needs to be able to implement the rules and policies on its own.

When they encounter an unsolvable problem, they can entrust P·B to solve the problem.

This approach is in line with the interests of P·B and the local interests of Congo!

Prime Minister Minam, who had been sitting next to him silently, now has a deeper impression of Choga.

Jackal really deserves his reputation!

What he is doing now is actually something that the Congolese government wants to do but is unable to accomplish.

But according to the current situation, it seems that after the success of the matter, power will still be in the hands of the local Congolese, and the mutual restraint between Ngonga and Komi will make this power more stable.

The new government needs recognition from the Congolese government. As long as Choga succeeds, the Congolese government represented by Minam will be the ultimate political beneficiary.

If North Kivu can get rid of the gloom and get back on the road, even if it only turns over a few hundred thousand in fiscal revenue every year, it will be equivalent to returning the sovereignty of a de facto independent province to the central government. This is a huge political achievement and is enough for Minam Something to brag about for a lifetime.

As for Choga's influence in North Kivu, Minam and even the Congolese president don't care.

Because they never owned these in the past, and now they are true allies with Boss Qiao, and they are solid partners tied together by the shares of the mining group backed by six tantalum mines.

What Boss Qiao is doing now is to put things right out of chaos. He always thinks about Congo, but instead minimizes the political backlash in Congo, and finally gives himself the 'most authoritative' right to speak.

The only thing standing in front of Boss Qiao now are those mining companies!

It is impossible to kill them, because once you do so, it will inevitably attract outside intervention, which is what Qiao Jia least wants to see.

When Qiao Jia shot Samuel, he was forced to speed up his actions and deal with everything quickly.

The minerals in the Congo are so valuable that Joga never wants to give Big Daddy Afika or the British or even the Americans a chance to pick peaches.

Looking at Comey who was worrying about gains and losses, Choga smiled and said: "Mr. Comey, according to my intelligence, you have nearly 2,000 armed forces in your hands."

As he spoke, Choga looked at Komi who was panicking and wanted to stand up. He smiled and waved his hands and said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that North Kivu should only have one legal armed force in the future. , that is the North Kivu provincial government army.

Among those 2,000 people, I estimate that there will be no more than 500 people who can really get something done. My idea is that if you agree, you can select some of your people and then combine them with the remaining ones from the former Butembo government. manpower to form a new team of 1,500 people.

As your friend, I can provide military training for your people and even provide weapons that a regular army should have.

Of course, these are all charged, but these costs can be paid by the new Butembo government.

I need you and Ngonga to cooperate with each other to put North Kivu on the right track and at the same time benefit all the people in North Kivu.

Man, winning alone is no big deal!

There are too many benefits in the mining industry chain to be counted. In the past, we could not get them. Now we can let those benefits go where they should go.

Save those civilians from hunger, disease, and death. This is what the 'big man' should do! "

Qiao Jia looked at Comey's big face. You couldn't tell a black man was blushing, but the guy's trembling mouth corners and red eyes betrayed his mood...

Facing Comey who was a little speechless with excitement, Choga smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "Man, we all have money that we can't spend in a lifetime. If you just want to enjoy yourself, then leaving here is a good choice.

If you still have the idea in your heart to do something, then you should follow your inner feelings.

The people of North Kivu need help, and you are the one who can help them! "

Comey stood up and carefully held Qiao Jia's hand, and said with a complicated expression: "Can I really do this? I..."

Choga held Komi's hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "One person can't do anything, but as long as we work together, we can establish a new mining order for North Kivu that is not exploitative. .

Then relying on this set of order, we can change the future here!

As long as you can persist, maybe in ten years, maybe in twenty years, when people here mention "Big Shot" Comey, they will point to your bronze statue and tell those curious outsiders...

‘That’s our leader, he saved our lives’! "

Comey, whose mood has been on a roller coaster since last night, seemed to have been brainwashed. He looked into Qiao Jia's eyes with a little fanaticism and said excitedly: "Sir, I don't know what I should do. you tell me……"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia smiled and said: "Then welcome to join us, Commander Komi!"

As he spoke, Joga looked at Komi, whose lips were trembling with excitement, and he smiled and said: "I need you to bring over the most elite people. Our new mayor Ngonga needs a strong person to stand up for him.

P·B’s position is not appropriate, but you can!

There is a helicopter waiting for you outside, you can leave at any time..."

Seeing Comey nodding vigorously and turning around to walk out, Joga grabbed the guy's arm, pointed at his family and said funnyly: "Brother, have you forgotten something?"

Comey grinned after hearing this and said: "Sir, I heard that Sangha Town is developing very well. There are free schools and hospitals there. I would like to ask you to help me place my family there.

I estimate that North Kivu will not be peaceful in the next six months, and I want my wife and children to settle there..."
