Chapter 1312: Chapter 1133: Together, We

The United Nations is also putting effort into the Green Great Wall project, having signed a contract with P.B. for a total of just $500,000.

P.B. will protect a group of volunteers from China, as well as accompanying humanitarian supplies, as they enter the Sahel Region to spread the UN’s care.

Then something even more surprising to Joe Ga happened: without his knowledge, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Sudan had already signed onto the African Union agreement.

Moreover, these West African countries have also signed a declaration that allows P.B.’s armed forces to legally enter their countries.

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Joe Ga’s forehead, as France hadn’t received any information about such a major development. For the first time, he felt that France had lost control over West Africa…

After repeatedly reviewing a few contracts, Joe Ga looked at Boss Qiao with a frown, and said, “Hu Lang, what do you mean by this?

You should know what West Africa means to us…”

With a smile on his face, Qiao Ga looked at Joe Ga and said, “Sir, of course I know!

The majority of France’s uranium comes from Niger…

Mali produces gold and oil, but multiple coups have caused Mali to lose France’s trust; it even started introducing Wagner to counter France’s influence.

If you all cannot stabilize Mali, the overflow of resistance in Mali will affect other countries around it that are also dissatisfied with France.

For instance, Burkina Faso and Chad, which have been purchasing Turkish equipment in recent years.

Moreover, Erdogan has been trying to extend Turkish influence deeper into Senegal, Niger, and Mali. The current political atmosphere in West Africa is very unfavorable for you, yet you are powerless against them.

Of course, I also provide ammunition supplies to Niger and Mali, but those are small businesses with little impact on the situation.

The African CFA Franc and the so-called free trade rights exclusive to France are the core of France’s control over Africa. Once these two points are shaken, France will completely lose control over Africa.

Without Africa’s support, the immigrants France has accepted in the past few decades will become a huge burden, while surplus agricultural and industrial products, having lost dumping grounds, will end up rotting in warehouses.

Farmers will go bankrupt, factories will close, unemployment will rise, and financial turmoil will ensue…

Your mere attempt to cut fuel subsidies led to the Yellow Vests organizing street protests. If the above scenarios occur, France’s situation will only get worse!

A great nation might thus begin to decline rapidly!”

Stunned by Boss Qiao’s description of the future, Joe Ga sat up straight and said gravely as he looked into Qiao Ga’s eyes, “I will not let this happen…”

Qiao Ga placed his cigar on the edge of the ashtray, sat up straight, and said as he looked into Joe Ga’s eyes, “What can you do?

You cannot control Russia expanding its influence there, nor can you control Turkey.

Greece is your traditional ally. We all know how difficult Greece has had it in recent years. Yet, you ask Greece to hold off Turkey while turning a blind eye when Turkey tries to bully Greece.”

Joe Ga and Boss Qiao locked eyes for a dozen seconds, and eventually, he conceded with resignation, averting his gaze as he said, “Hu Lang, what exactly do you want?”

Qiao Ga smiled and tapped the documents on the coffee table, saying, “Sir, I have no intention of offending France. I think you should take a closer look at these contracts…

The reason P.B. could obtain these contracts along with so much support is not because we are so formidable, but because these endeavors are charitable and the right thing to do!

Assassinations, organizing coups, stationing troops will not change your image, nor will they shake Mali’s resolve to break free from your control.

But charity can!

Sir, France inputs enormous funds annually into Africa for aid, but how much of that money truly improves the livelihoods?

The Western colonial method of controlling elites is outdated!

Now, you have the opportunity to make a change…

Mr. President, join the Green Great Wall project so that both the African people and the people of the world can see France’s sense of responsibility…

Let’s create a Green Great Wall together to stop the desert from advancing southward…

Let’s create jobs together to accommodate those impoverished people without means…

Let’s leave our names together in Africa’s history!

You will be one of France’s greatest presidents, and I will be known to everyone as the ‘Good Man Hu Lang’…”

Joe Ga instinctively rubbed his sweaty palms, looking at Qiao Ga as if he were a ghost………
