King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 745 - 685: Choose Kindness

As he watched two Black Hawk helicopters carrying the injured and prisoners fly away into the distance, escorted by two Griffins...

Joe Ga rubbed his face vigorously before looking at the group of Kurdish Militia leaders with complex expressions, he spread his hands and said, "Now it’s our turn to talk..."

Militia guide Belial, perhaps because of previous interactions with Joe, was selected as the representative. She looked anxiously at Joe Ga and said, "Sir, does your promise about the ’Safety Zone’ still stand?"

As she spoke, Belial glanced at the Kurdish civilians gathering around. With bitterness, she said, "All the men have gone to fight, leaving only the elderly and children behind. ISIS will kill them..."

Joe Ga looked around at his surroundings...

War ages people prematurely, and it also forces children to mature too soon.

The children under five were still at an age of innocence, unaware of the fear of death, their big eyes filled with curiosity about everything.

The older children, however, had a clear look of greed and a strong desire to survive in their eyes.

In the past, Joe Ga had seen children in many places block vehicles to beg for food and money, but he had never thought about why. He had simply put it down to poverty. But now, he understood a little better.

It wasn’t just because of poverty but also because of the desire to survive and greed. They wanted more than just a full stomach. The lack of material things made these children inherently greedy. They wanted more; any chance to change their lives was something they desired.

If killing someone could get them out of this godforsaken place, Joe Ga believed some of the older children would do it without hesitation.

This had little to do with good and evil. It was a result of the environment and the will to survive.

Since he was young, Joe Ga was taught to maintain a simple and hardworking lifestyle, to cultivate a strong will and a mature mindset, as this could possibly turn his life around.

Latter, Joe Ga found that most of the people who told him this owned cars and houses and never went hungry. Meanwhile, he had endured hardship to the fullest and still couldn’t manage to cover his parents’ medical expenses.

Thinking about himself, and then looking at these Kurdish children, indeed they were simple and hardworking, and their will was strong. But could they turn their lives around?

Perhaps knowing that he was going to be a father, Joe Ga now had quite a bit of patience for children.

Seeing a child dressed in adult clothes, barefoot, standing on the ground still stained with blood, looking curiously at him with big eyes, he went over and picked up the light child, using Dorian’s sleeve to wipe the little face covered in tears and snot.

As the child smiled and clung to his neck, Joe Ga reached out and took out a piece of chocolate, unwrapped it, and handed it to him. Then he looked at Belial and the Kurdish Militia behind her, saying, "My promise is still valid, but it is not unconditional."

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at the hesitant Belial. He waved his hand and said, "I don’t need you to fight for me. The only thing I ask is that you maintain good discipline and try your best to protect yourselves and keep order within."

"My condition is that the ’Safety Zone’ will not be only for the Kurdish people..."

In fact, this is hardly a condition at all, because the core essence of the ’Safety Zone’ is to offer a place to all civilians displaced by the chaos of war.

Syrians, Iraqis, people of any race or color can go to the ’Safety Zone’.

Sometimes I don’t quite understand the issues between you, but one thing I believe is universal—that for most civilians, the most important thing is to live with dignity and hope, avoiding being caught up in war.

I am not a savior. My capabilities are limited...

I can only use the way of war to help some people avoid war!

But it’s not just the Kurdish people who should benefit. Otherwise, what am I doing?"

Joe Ga’s words silenced the militia, and Belial, struggling, looked at Joe Ga and said, "Sir, you mean the ’Safety Zone’ is not just a safety zone for the Kurdish people?"

Joe Ga nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course!

This will be a Safety Zone with the Kurdish people as the main body but open to all helpless civilians seeking refuge.

When the war is over, they can return to their homelands.

The location for establishing the Safety Zone is at the border between Syria and Iraq. Don’t even mention anything about ’Kurdish land’ to me.

I acknowledge that it’s your homeland, but it is also the territory of Syria and Iraq.

I’m an outsider. I must first respect the sovereignty of these two nations before I can qualify to lead the establishment of the Safety Zone. Only when most people accept this, can my soldiers fire at the enemy with a clear conscience."

As he said this, Joe Ga looked at the group of Kurdish female soldiers with complicated expressions and some international Volunteer Soldiers who looked very excited. He shook his head and said, "You should ask those great women fighting alongside you...

I believe they walked here from Iraq and shed blood for you not because you are Kurdish, but because you were being oppressed.

I believe these brave women are here to protect life, not the political interests of the Kurdish people."

After finishing, Joe Ga carried the child a few steps, handing him over to his mother before the child could smear the chocolate on his face.

Then Joe Ga looked at the group of seemingly bewildered Kurdish female soldiers and smiled, saying, "It seems you’re having some difficulty accepting this...

I understand the plight of the Kurdish people, the demands of the Kurdish people, and the efforts of a nation struggling for independence.

"It’s quite obvious how you’ve acted in this respect, everyone can see it...

In fact, have you ever considered what you would do if you were me?

The most correct approach would be to conscript you, to have you fight for me, to use you as bargaining chips in negotiations with Syria and Iraq, and to kick you to the curb as soon as I’ve reaped enough benefits.

You should have experience with this..."

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at the faces of the Kurdish female soldiers, showing signs of sadness and anger, and said bluntly, "I have also thought about using you to accomplish great things and make a lot of money, and in the end, you might even have to thank me.

But there are people by my side who truly care about you. They are women, too. They responded immediately after receiving your plea for help.

They are all very important to me, so I thought, maybe I shouldn’t apply ’the most right choice’ to you."

I want to try, between ’right’ and ’kindness’, to choose kindness!

To help only you, ignoring the safety of others, is not ’kindness’!

If you want to avoid war...

If you want to rebuild your homes...

If you want a stable living environment...

Please choose ’kindness’ like I do!

Because only then can I advocate for you internationally. A safety zone isn’t just a place where I have planes and artillery, it needs recognition,

I once promised a group of Kurds who fled to Iraq that as long as they trust me, I would fulfill my promise.

As long as you can remain loyal to me, this ’Safety Zone’ will exist until P·B falls."

Joe Ga’s words caused a stir among those present...

Most of the Kurdish Militia rank and file were really fighting to protect their families. They had no grand ideals but were just a little unused to Qiao Boss’s rhetoric...

But the international Volunteer Soldiers were different. Just as Joe Ga said, they weren’t racists. They bled and sacrificed to protect lives or rather to protect their own kind, not just to protect the Kurds.

Their choice would be the same for anyone else in the Kurds’ situation!

Mandy, who had been rescued from the village, clapped vigorously and ran up to give a hug, then ran back and began talking nonstop with her sisters-in-arms...

As the commotion spread among the crowd, and as the eyes of the Kurdish female soldiers began to clear, Joe Ga knew he had probably won.

Now, all he had to do was to show strength and sincerity, and then he could complete the last step of his grand plan in Iraq.

In the face of Belial, whose expression gradually shifted from solemn to relaxed, Joe Ga said with a smile, "The ’Safety Zone’ that gains international recognition needs to be fought for by Princess Amina, but P·B will first use artillery to mark out a portion of the Safety Zone for you.

I’ve planned a military base at the border of Iraq. You can go to that area to temporarily escape danger.

Once I’ve gained the recognition of the Syrian Government, my soldiers will march into this region, and by then, wherever my shells can reach, that will be the extent of the Safety Zone.

You can rebuild your homes in peace, and your children can grow up in an environment that’s not too terrible..."

While speaking, Joe Ga smiled, looked at a group of Kurdish female soldiers with unprecedented seriousness, and said, "When you feel that you can take charge of safety, just tell me, and I will leave this place.

I chose ’kindness’ on this land; please don’t let ’kindness’ be disappointed!

Because a bad outcome for me is just a loss of money, but for you..."

Perhaps because Nis was pregnant, Qiao Boss really did bring all his sincerity this time.

For those who don’t even have basic safety guaranteed, ’sincerity’ is the best key.

No matter what happens in the future, a good start assures that Qiao Boss will reap huge rewards in Syria. freēnovelkiss.com

When everyone reached a consensus on the core issue, even when Belial brought up supporting their so-called Martyrs Camp leader again, he agreed without hesitation.

The Predator drone that had been circling in the sky quickly turned towards Jialan Town. After all, the Hellfire missiles were hung by MPRI company; using 3 left 5, fly over to complete the shots first as a show of sincerity.

After giving the order, Joe Ga returned to the hospital with Team B and the Jazz Squad. When he found a stool and sat down to take a rest, he suddenly realized...

"Why haven’t the people from Martyrs Camp retreated?"

Sensing something amiss, Joe Ga found Belial, who was helping to settle everyone, and said with a frown, "Two SU-25s have already performed bombing cover near Jialan Town, why hasn’t your leader retreated..."

Belial froze for a moment, then shook her head bitterly and said, "Sir, you’ll understand when you see the situation there, our leader can’t retreat..."
