Chapter 1180: Chapter 1031: Firing, the Enemy is Coming

The Cartel Group is a cancer left behind after the death of Colombia’s legendary big drug lord.

This gang is still confronting the Colombian government forces, and although many rounds of negotiations have taken place, only a part of them have ostensibly been pacified by the government.

In fact, they still control almost 40% of Colombia’s drug raw material transactions, along with 30% of the drug trafficking share.

Generally speaking, in their territory, the government forces can’t beat them, so they not only have sufficient manpower but also plenty of heavy weapons.

The causes of Colombian drug lords are varied, but the fundamental issue lies with farmers as the bottom layer of society, whose interests cannot be secured.

Farmers and capitalist system landlords are two distinct professions!

The cost of farming is too high; seeds, fertilizers, harvesting, sales, all these elements are controlled by large companies. If one link goes wrong, farmers under the capitalist system face instant bankruptcy, followed by land annexation.

Bankrupt farmers want to survive; wouldn’t they have to go to the mountains to harvest coca leaves?

Joe Ga is considered widely knowledgeable, and the best country he has seen globally resolving farmers’ issues is the Island Nation.

No matter how others criticize those responsible for agriculture in the Island Nation, they have indeed allowed Island Nation farmers to enjoy relatively fair economic benefits and social status.

Of course, the price is limiting the import of foreign agricultural products, causing domestic agricultural product prices in the Island Nation to be relatively high.

But the income of the industrialized urban population is not low either.

In Joe’s view, this is a reasonable national wealth redistribution.

Unfortunately, Mother cannot achieve this; too many agricultural people, too little farmland, urban incomes not meeting the standard, international grain prices too cheap…

Urbanites, who built their fortunes on cheap labor, cannot bear the enormous changes in the ‘vegetable basket.’

They cannot erect trade barriers like the Island Nation does, dividing agricultural and livestock products into different grades, then using promotion and marketing means making their people proud of eating their own products.

This is the painful period that a country established on human resources is bound to go through, and farmers have made significant concessions to benefit the nation’s development.

As a return, those non-tradable lands are the last line Mother holds for farmers.

Maybe in twenty, thirty years, this situation might improve…

Maybe the new generation can find better ways to resolve the issue…

Maybe Mother can find a way to break through in the giant transformative future…

Population, land, employment, industrialization, financialization, globalization…

All these complex issues and contradictions are concentrated on a land of 9.6 million square kilometers with an extremely complicated terrain and climate not particularly abundant in resources…

Frankly, being able to maintain social stability is already an unbelievably miraculous achievement!

Jia Liang trade is the only thing Joe Ga can do and recognizes as right!

Other things he doesn’t comprehend, as his vision is limited.

He only knows that the saying ‘truth is only within the range of a cannon’ is always right!

“Bang”

Joe Ga put a 120mm mortar shell into the tube, then moved ‘Kitten’ away a bit, turned his back to the tube, and yanked the fuse…

After the shock wave, Joe ran behind ‘Kitten,’ looking at the tablet in her hands…

After a few seconds of flight, the shell exploded 200 meters from the target on the riverbank.

Seeing the other side’s expression through the screen isn’t possible, but one can sense the panic…

Over a dozen people were surrounding the guerrilla mythical weapon, the 107 rocket launcher, discussing when a modified airburst shell exploded…

Though far from them, the massive explosion scared them, and they rolled and crawled to escape into the jungle on both sides.

These are experienced guerrillas who know too well the first mortar is just a test fire; if they don’t run, more shells will rain on them…

Their predictions were not wrong!

Joe’s first shot missed significantly, but he quickly adjusted and reported the accurate firing vector, while Dorian swiftly followed, operating another mortar nearby…

“Bang”

“Bang”

Two new bombshells were launched…

Joe Ga and Dorian were in no mood to wait, loading more shells and firing again…

“Bang”

“Bang”

Four deadly airburst shells exploded 10 meters above the ground, and giant black smoke swiftly engulfed the drug dealers’ army along the coast…

Several drug gunmen who hadn’t managed to disembark were torn to pieces by fragments in the explosion.

“Hit, reload two more rounds, sink the enemy’s ship…”

‘Kitten’ looking at the screen exclaimed excitedly, running to Joe and Dorian, clapping their hands, and shouting, “Nicely done!”

Joe Ga didn’t quite enjoy this beyond-visual-range strike, but seeing ‘Kitten’ cheer so enthusiastically, he was happy to exert some effort.

Joe Ga shouted ‘reload’ to Dorian, then dug from the ammo box and found two rounds of high-explosive grenades…

“Boom”

“Boom”

“Boom”

“Boom”

Two rounds of four high-explosive grenades were fired again…

A few seconds later, ‘Kitten’ laughed and shouted, “Hit one round, the ship didn’t sink, but there should be no survivors…”

This time Joe Ga didn’t heed ‘Kitten’s directives; he was seeking two ‘Incendiary Shells’ in the ammo box…

“Bang”

“Bang”

Only one of the two incendiary shells landed on the ship, and a fire swiftly spread.

Soon after, there was a violent explosion inside the cabin; what exactly exploded is unclear, but one side of the hull was blown apart…

This fishing vessel, over thirty meters long, struggled for a while, then began slowly sinking…

After confirming the battle result, Joe smirked and hugged ‘Kitten,’ saying, “I knew it, I’m the best even in gunnery…”

Seeing Joe Ga’s smug expression made ‘Kitten’ laugh; she glanced Joe up and down, putting her hand on his chest with a smile, saying, “I think you’ve got room for improvement…”

Joe Ga looked into ‘Kitten’s eyes and clicked his tongue, saying, “Are we talking about the same thing?”

‘Kitten’ shrugged, saying, “If you think so, then sure…”

Joe Ga was taken aback and, slightly annoyed, pinched ‘Kitten’ on the bottom, saying, “Babe, you surely misunderstood me, but you’re pregnant now, so I won’t prove it to you.”

‘Kitten’s pregnancy wasn’t just her belly getting bigger; it was the main thing restoring her confidence and enthusiasm.

Nis had never deliberately suppressed Kitten, yet she always felt inferior to Nis, and Igor’s birth only intensified this feeling.

Now, the appearance of a small life completely relieved Kitten’s internal pressure, as her enthusiasm wholly returned.

Facing Joe’s wandering hand, ‘Kitten’ wrapped her arms around his neck, chuckling, saying, “Alright, fifteen-minute Mister, I look forward to your future performance…”

Joe Ga watched Dorian holding a shell with both hands like it was the world’s most precious thing, diligently wiping every speck of dirt from its surface…

If not for his trembling shoulders betraying him, this guy definitely seemed like a ‘shell guru’ dedicated wholly to his passion, ignoring everything else…

“FUCK, how did it become fifteen minutes; it’s clearly half an hour…”

With that, Joe glared at Dorian, saying, “Elephant, if I hear any bad rumors about me, you know what’s coming…”

Dorian innocently spread his hands and said, “Boss, what if it wasn’t me who said it…”

Joe Ga flipped him the middle finger, saying, “I’d beat you up anyway…”

Dorian sighed, putting his hands up, saying, “Actually, I only heard about the 30-minute stuff, nothing else really…”

Joe Ga nodded approvingly, then pinched the laughing ‘Kitten’s cheek, pulling her aside and whispering, “At least 20 minutes, you can’t shortchange me on this.

Be obedient, and it’s 30 minutes in the future; Boss will get you a bag…”

‘Kitten’ saw Joe’s helpless look and laughed, sitting on the ground…

A bright smile naturally had a sunlit aura, causing Joe to lose focus for a few seconds…

As he wondered whether he should take advantage again, Tony shouted loudly in the communicator, “Attention everyone, more ships have landed…

Four speedboats, 30 people, 8 kilometers upstream, looking at the gear, they should be mercenaries!”

Upon hearing this, Joe gave up on using mortar strikes, made a threatening gesture to ‘Kitten,’ then pressed the communicator saying, “Have Winged Dragon expand the search range, more enemies must have entered the jungle.

Guys, take turns resting; I reckon we’ll face a tough fight soon…”
