King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer -
Chapter 1159 - 1012: The Undercover Beside the Prince
When Boss Joe arrived at the so-called hangar, he discovered that the so-called hangar was actually a boathouse.
A Russian-made Sea Bear was parked in the boathouse, alongside a few small speedboats.
Sayyid really knew how to have fun; the Sea Bear model seaplane had excellent handling performance and also looked good, making it perfect for taking thrill-seeking tourists on a tour of the Amazon.
This prince, with his peculiar obsession for green, wasn't just saying he wanted to push the resort's business deeper into the Amazon.
This kind of long-range seaplane was the link that could carry guests to the heart of the rainforest.
By the time Joe Ga and his group arrived, the staff had already refueled the Sea Bear and dragged the plane onto the water outside the hangar, securing it at the edge of a wooden dock.
Joe Ga habitually stuffed a few boxes into the plane's modest cargo hold.
Then he settled into the cockpit, scanning the structure of the plane, confirming everything was in order before signaling Dorian, Doctor Bird, and Tony to board the plane.
Once everyone was seated in the slightly cramped cabin, he immediately started the aircraft's engine.
The plane was indeed very easy to fly; the floats on the wings balanced the weight of the two wings while also providing a certain degree of buoyancy to the plane.
Compared to those seaplanes that have floats installed on their undercarriage, the Sea Bear was undoubtedly far safer for takeoffs and landings, even better than most land-based planes.
Joe Ga steered the plane onto a relatively straight water lane, then waved to Nis on the dock, pushed the throttle to accelerate about 600 meters, and then pulled on the control stick forcefully to let the plane ascend into the sky.
The Sea Bear glided very steadily, and its speed was slow, with a stall speed of only 240 kilometers per hour, which was slow enough for Boss Joe and his group to observe the ground environment carefully from the air.
Joe Ga piloted the aircraft up to an altitude of 3000 meters, then, under Tony's guidance, flew west.
After flying for about an hour and a half, Joe Ga and his group crossed approximately 400 kilometers, reaching roughly near the calculated crash site of the aircraft by Tony.
"Boss, it should be around here..."
Upon hearing what Tony said, Joe Ga pushed the control stick to lower the plane's altitude.
When they reached about 600 meters in altitude, he levelled off and started circling to search from the air.
Some thin mists formed above the rainforest during the dry season, affecting their visibility to a certain degree, forcing Boss Joe to lower the altitude again until reaching about 400 meters from the ground, where the visibility was finally good.
Tony, sitting in the co-pilot seat, attached a camera with a suction cup mount to the window, then opened a laptop and tapped for a while, saying: "Boss, maintain this speed; if there are indeed survivors on the plane and they know how to help themselves, this device should detect a heat signal."
Joe Ga nodded slightly, maintaining the plane's circling stance...
"Elephant, if someone wanted to target those Middle Eastern princes, who do you think would be the most likely?"
Dorian, upon hearing this, spread his hands and said, "There could be plenty: Al-Qaeda, Israel, America, or any individual or country that doesn't want to see Shah and Qatar maintain relations...
But Boss, aren't you overthinking it a bit?
Those princes are no fools, their bodyguards may not be great fighters, but their loyalty shouldn't be an issue.
Unless someone was deliberately watching them, no one should know they were meeting in Manaus.
Moreover, how could those plotting against Shah and Qatar just happen to know the Colombian drug dealers?"
After listening, Joe Ga nodded slightly, suppressing his inner doubts, then turned to look at the dense rainforest below, saying, "I hope those people's luck is better, and that they can hold on until we find them."
Tony, on the side, doubtfully said, "Boss, do you really think those people have any chance of survival?"
Joe Ga hesitated for a moment, then said, "As long as the pilot isn't too bad, a plane like the Senas can still make a forced landing.
If luck is on their side, the people on the plane still have a chance of survival!"
As he spoke, Joe Ga patted the window beside him, saying, "This is why I like propeller planes, this is what real flying is.
Compared to the excitement of a fighter jet, even without power, this kind of plane has a chance to land safely with its wings.
It's unbelievable, but when I first took Devil Bird and Dragon Gecko to Egypt to learn flying, it wasn't just for the convenience of shipping arms; actually, I wanted to be a flight guide at the Ad-Damazin Resort at that time.
The first plane I ever repaired and piloted was a Senas, and I'm very familiar with it.
I used to dream about flying a plane to hunt giraffes one day; it must be thrilling."
Tony could never have imagined that this boss, who could decide the fate of some countries, had such a past...
Curious, he asked, "Boss, how did you even manage that at the start?"
Joe Ga was momentarily stunned and said, "Manage what?"
Tony, a bit excited, said, "In Central Africa, in Sangha Town, how did you manage that..."
Joe Ga, suddenly understanding, nodded and said, "It wasn't that hard, really. Devil Bird brought a massive dowry, Dragon Gecko gave me courage.
Then one day, I suddenly understood some truths, and slowly I walked to what I've achieved today.
It's not too difficult; I just have better luck than most people."
Saying this, Joe Ga gave a thumbs up pointing behind him, smilingly said, "For example, I met Elephant, met King Kong, then met Sanderson and the others...
"Maybe I'm just lucky, and everyone gives me face, that's how I made it!"
Tony listened, shook his head a bit in disbelief, and said, "Boss, now many people in the intelligence community are studying you, and they've reached many strange conclusions.
Every time I ask Thompson, he looks at me like I'm a fool.
Boss, do you have some kind of secret?
I'm considered a loyal employee now, right? Can you tell me?
I really want to learn, to know how to earn everyone's respect."
Joe Ga paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "All successful people have one thing in common, and that's luck!
Without it, no matter how strong your abilities are, it's useless!
But if you insist on me telling you, I can only say the secret is 'persistence'!
Persist in respecting everyone's habits, persist in sharing benefits, persist in believing in honor and camaraderie...
Persist in what you want to hold on to, don't be swayed by the chaotic information from the outside..."
Tony listened, smacked his lips, and repeated the word 'persistence' several times. Just as he was about to say something, the radio suddenly crackled with intermittent calls...
"Boss, some...trouble at the resort..."
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga immediately pulled the control lever to begin ascending...
Thanks to the Talus terminal, Joe Ga could maintain communication with the resort when at high altitudes.
But once they descended, ground obstacles and curvature would disrupt the connection.
When the Sea Bear climbed to 2000 meters, the radio transmission became clear...
Joe Ga picked up the radio and said, "What happened? Are you guys okay?"
On the other end, Antar cheered and then said, "Boss, it's Shah Dewali's bodyguard.
The guy whose ear was cut off by Balu suddenly attacked Prince Alesani of Qatar with a pistol.
Luckily, 'Spider' was nearby to take him down before he got a second shot.
Alesani was slightly injured but quite shaken..."
Antar hesitated and said, "Boss, Alesani's people are confronting Shah's men, the situation is very tense.
You know the temperament of these royal family members, it would be best to come back quickly; the Devil Bird might not be able to control the situation."
Joe Ga listened and immediately flipped the control lever, turning around while saying, "Get the Anteater to separate them, and as soon as 'Kitten' arrives, disarm those Middle Easterners completely.
We'll take over the resort's security completely...
Damn it, someone wants to cause a complete fallout between Shah and Qatar, and they know me well, so they acted when I was away.
If that Shah bastard was provoking on purpose before, it shows they were testing us.
Dewali couldn't be behind this, his subordinates have issues, and it's certainly not just one person.
Everyone, stay calm, and control the situation!
Whoever makes a move is the enemy, let the Anteater take them down."
Joe Ga pushed the throttle to accelerate, but unexpectedly he felt a problem with the aircraft's power...
As he frowned and was about to scan for issues, Dorian in the backseat suddenly yelled, "Boss, there's a problem with the engines..."
Joe Ga was startled and turned to look, seeing black smoke coming from the two engines on the wings...
This time Joe Ga finally understood...
"FUCK, someone tampered with the airplane fuel..."
Joe Ga pushed the throttle to the max, but the aircraft's power just wouldn't come up, so he started descending to find a suitable waterway while picking up the radio and saying, "Owl, my plane has encountered some problems, and I need to make an emergency landing on the water.
Tell everyone not to panic and start checking the hangar's surveillance, detain and interrogate whoever refueled the plane.
These people bypassed several layers of security checks; they've definitely been undercover around Dewali for more than just a day or two."
As soon as Joe Ga finished speaking, Antar exclaimed and said, "Boss, how could this happen?"
Joe Ga sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know..."
Watching the water surface getting closer, Joe Ga loudly signaled everyone to hold tight and shouted, "From now on, remind me to disarm their bodyguards when dealing with these princes.
FUCK, I fucking hate these unfathomable feelings..."
