King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe had now reached the essence of war...

When facing a sniper, if you can blast the enemy, don't waste bullets.

With drone guidance and convenient software calculations, Joe and his team weren't great gunners, but they could compensate for the lack of quality with quantity.

'Thump thump thump...'

After a few minutes of adjustment, the mortar launched a series of shells at a rooftop 300 meters away.

"Boom boom boom..."

The falling, exploding shells destroyed the rooftop's concrete slab, causing partial collapse...

As the building collapsed in the distance, Joe Ga rushed out, grabbing Ren Liang's drag strap on his back and pulling him to safety.

The SVD used 7.62 mm machine gun bullets, and seeing Ren Liang's pallor, although the bulletproof vest stopped the bullet, the impact was still very uncomfortable for him.

He patted the guy's shoulder hard, saying, "Not bad, I guess it's your first time in battle, your professionalism is solid, and you're quite lucky."

Indeed, it was Ren Liang's first time in real combat, and hearing Joe's 'comfort', he nervously retched, then immediately wiped his mouth, trying to stand up...

"I'm fine, I just got a bit carried away!"

Joe Ga listened and shook his head, saying, "No, you did well just now, flawless apart from getting shot, and it's not your fault.

Sit and catch your breath, it's no shame to be nervous, those who can adjust are real men."

As he spoke, Joe Ga pressed down on Ren Liang's shoulder, smiled, and asked, "You see the situation, do you still want to stick with me in Africa?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Liang nodded emphatically, saying, "Yes!!"

Joe Ga smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm really not one of Rabbit's people, I'm just a mercenary, and you need to be clear on that.

Working with me pays well, but I suggest you ask your family for their thoughts.

If they don't agree, you can help me find some cook soldiers, and I'll set you up with a temporary job, no problem making a few hundred thousand in 4 to 6 months.

I'm really a mercenary, I'm not joking with you!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Liang clung tightly to his HK417, still nodding firmly, saying, "I'm in, I joined the army to carry a gun, to carry a gun to fight. I couldn't find a good fit in the service, so I wanted to try making it on my own out here.

Don't worry boss, there's only my younger brother in my family, now in college, graduating next year.

He lives his own life, and I make my own decisions!"

Joe Ga, upon hearing about Ren Liang's family situation, instantly found a sense of empathy with the guy...

He pulled out a cigarette, put it in Ren Liang's mouth, lit it for him to take a drag to relieve the stress, then smiled and said, "I also have only one younger brother left, but my brother has done well, not only getting a good girlfriend but also finding his dream."

Taking a strong drag of the cigarette, Ren Liang curiously asked Joe Ga, "Boss, what's your brother's dream?"

Joe Ga shrugged, responded, "Farming!"

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at Ren Liang's curious expression, laughed, and said, "I'm serious!

But I told him to take it slow, first help me manage some things to save up enough money to start farming."

Ren Liang nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's better than my brother, who just wants to marry a rich woman and skip 30 years of struggle. I seriously want to wring his neck when I see him."

Joe Ga paused, then laughed heartily, saying, "Being able to marry a wealthy woman is also a skill, that guy is interesting.

What's his name, and where does he study? I'll tell my brother to stay away from him, haha..."

At this, Ren Liang laughed, then suddenly realized that the nervous tension he had felt just moments ago had vanished. It was then he realized that Joe Ga's seemingly pointless chatter was actually helping him ease his nerves.

After all, killing someone for the first time, and having been shot, Ren Liang didn't want to admit it, but he knew his hands trembled and his legs were weak.

Feeling his legs steady, Ren Liang, with a grimace, stood up using the wall, plucked a deformed bullet from his vest and pocketed it, then looking at Joe Ga said, "Boss, don't worry about me, I can manage on my own."

After appraising Ren Liang briefly to make sure he was okay, Joe Ga smiled and said, "Leave the outside to others, you maintain some order in the market, and show off a bit."

As Joe Ga spoke, more gunfire erupted from the National Army's side, a disturbance occurred far off at their positions, and several pickup trucks charged toward the enemy's location.

Such scenes are the most distressing, with everyone mixed in one city, soldiers, terrorists, mercenaries, civilians, thugs mingled together, unable to discern who is friend and who is foe, anyone might shoot you from a few hundred meters away.

Only the National Army and P·B had uniforms, otherwise they might shoot each other on sight.

At that moment, being trapped in the city was very dangerous, so Joe Ga pressed his communicator and said, "Medic Officer Bird, how much longer?"

On the other end of the communicator, 'Medic Officer Bird' replied, "Another 40 minutes, I need to stabilize a few of the severely wounded."

"Then we must get the seriously injured to a regular hospital within 24 hours, or else they won't survive."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga decisively dialed Li Weiguo...

"Old Li, we have seriously injured people here. My people can only save their lives temporarily; they need to undergo surgery again within 24 hours."

Li Weiguo on the other end of the phone paused, then said anxiously, "Is it that serious? How long will it take us to reach the Egypt border?"

Joe Ga picked up the electronic map to check and said, "We can take the coastal highway to the border town of Byrdi, approximately 450 kilometers in total. If all goes well, about 8 hours.

You need to have the people in Egypt prepared. It would be best if you could find a helicopter to transport the injured to a major hospital; otherwise, missing limbs will be inevitable."

As soon as Old Li heard this, he immediately said, "I'll contact the Egyptian embassy. When will you set out?"

Joe Ga glanced at the market inside and said, "We'll meet on the road in an hour."

You always have to believe in the workers' ability to endure hardships and adapt...

Three trucks, with all the luggage placed in one, miraculously left space for seating.

The rest of the people squeezed into the two empty trucks, also leaving space for the injured, everyone sitting with knees embraced, huddled closely together without any complaints, only longing to return home.

Once everything was ready, Joe Ga watched as Karman and his team retreated from the buildings at the front junction. He then turned to the slightly bewildered Ren Liang and asked, "Can you drive?"

After receiving a positive response, Joe Ga nodded and said, "Come up with a nickname for yourself, then take that truck. You're in charge of driving."

Ren Liang paused, then grinned and said, "I'm good at making 'Sugar'. My comrades used to call me 'Sugar'."

Joe Ga smiled and nodded, giving him a push and saying, "Then I'll have to try your specialty later, go."

Saying this, Joe Ga ran over to the armored vehicle driven by Dorian, pulled open the back seat and squeezed next to Ayu who was manning the machine gun inside the vehicle. He stretched his hand out of the window to vigorously pat the door several times, shouting, "Move out, move out, don't fall behind."

.........

The convoy burst out of the small town of Ebidar in a very aggressive manner, then joined the long-waiting team, allowing most of the workers to board the other three waiting trucks, before the convoy headed north onto the coastal highway of Libya.

During the war, the highway was a vital battleground.

The terrorists lacked the capability to launch air strikes, so they engaged in repeated tug-of-wars with the National Army at various checkpoints.

Rabbit's embassy proved reliable; the Libyan National Army gave special favor this time, allowing the convoy to pass as soon as they saw it.

As for those terrorists setting up roadblocks, it only took a few anti-tank missiles fired from a distance followed by a round of mortar bombs, then the convoy's machine guns unleashed their full firepower, crushing over the terrorists like a steel hedgehog.

There were no tactics involved, just a simple principle: if your gear can't match mine, I'm steamrolling right over you.

Anxious to save lives, Joe Ga pushed the convoy to move fast. They passed several cities and always opted to detour whenever possible.

Still, it took the convoy a complete 9 hours to reach the border town of Byrdi.

It's only 15 kilometers away from Salum, the northwesternmost city of Egypt.

They were already beyond the control of the National Army, and the city had descended into total chaos.

Whether it was caused by rioters or terrorists, Joe Ga could no longer tell.

Many families trying to flee to Egypt clogged the highway, forcing the convoy to slow to a crawl.

Fortunately, due to years of war, there were not many vehicles belonging to the Libyan populace, so there was no widespread traffic jam.

However, when Joe Ga's vehicle was only a kilometer away from the border checkpoint, he received unexpected news that it had been taken over by terrorists.

The sporadic gunfire and the commotion of the crowd did not stop the organized advance of the refugee queue.

The chaotic scene turned into a mess, as the crowd surged towards the Egyptian border, only to be met with warning shots. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Just as Joe Ga was preparing to lead his men to eliminate the terrorists and then escort the workers across the border, Old Li suddenly called him...

"Hu Lang, our people are negotiating with the terrorists. They're asking us to fly the national flag and bring the people over."

Joe Ga paused. He knew the injured couldn't wait any longer, so he decisively directed the convoy off the highway, then called all the workers to start disembarking.

"Form a defense circle, artillery be ready to cover us, Eric, keep your men quiet..."

Saying this, Joe Ga addressed the workers grabbing their luggage, shouting, "Take your luggage, hold your passports and the red flag in your hands…

Follow me!!

Let's go home!!"
