Joe Ga didn't bother arguing with 'Cobra' about the issue of 'cost'!
This old ace's skills are beyond doubt, but he doesn't have much concept of how to operate a company or manage a region.
In fact, the fighter jets Joe owns now—there aren't many countries in the world that can afford them.
Were it not for his external connections allowing him to resolve the parts issue himself, these planes couldn't even make a few trips before being grounded.
In Africa, apart from Egypt and Algeria, even South Africa couldn't afford to maintain them—let alone other African countries.
Joe has been pulling strings everywhere to create a united air force, all to share the financial pressure and spread P.B.'s influence from Central Africa outward via a unified command center.
If jet fighters hadn't extended P.B.'s operational range to nearly 1,800 kilometers and reduced response time within 1,000 kilometers to under 2 hours, Joe wouldn't have bothered scaling up the united air force at any cost.
