Tang Dao had come a long way from his humble beginnings, and he had no intention of stopping now. He relished the moniker of "The Lord of War," even if it came with a certain notoriety. To him, it was a badge of honor, a testament to his success in the world of international arms dealing.

As he read the headline in "World People Weekly" declaring that his most significant achievement was toppling Locke Martin, a sense of satisfaction washed over him. It was a reminder of the power he wielded, the influence he had over world events, and the wealth he had amassed.

Locke Martin, a rival arms dealer of considerable renown, had once been a formidable competitor.

For Tang Dao, every fighter, every weapon, and every deal was a means to an end. His focus was on profit, influence, and achieving his objectives. He had built a vast network of contacts, navigated the treacherous waters of international politics, and exploited the chaos of conflict zones to his advantage.

He was not just an arms dealer; he was a businessman who saw opportunities where others saw only risks. He had the ability to turn strife and turmoil into lucrative deals, and he reveled in the challenge.

In the world of arms dealing, Tang Dao was a force to be reckoned with. He was a man who had risen from obscurity to become a power player on the global stage. And as long as there were conflicts, wars, and those who sought to profit from them, Tang Dao knew that his place at the top was secure.

The world might bow down to him, or it might fear him, but one thing was certain: Tang Dao was a master of his craft, and he had no intention of relinquishing his position as the Lord of War.

The Strongest Arms Dealer

Lucian and Tang Dao, after some intense negotiation, had finally reached an agreement. The arms deal was set, and Lucian agreed to purchase AK47 rifles and self-propelled artillery, specifically the 2S3 Akatsiya howitzer with a 152mm caliber.

However, Lucian was well aware that his group lacked the knowledge and expertise to operate such heavy artillery effectively. He expressed his concern to Tang Dao, who offered to provide training for a fee. The agreed rate for training was $2,000 per day.

While this might have been a steep price for training, Lucian understood the importance of knowing how to operate their newly acquired weaponry. He nodded in agreement, realizing that this investment was crucial for the security and strength of his group.

Tang Dao, always eager to do business and make money, saw an opportunity to provide training services to various armed factions in Somalia. He knew that many warlords and militias lacked proper training, and he could tap into this market to generate additional income.

After the deal was settled, Tang Dao showed Lucian the 2S3 Akatsiya howitzer. It was a formidable piece of military hardware with its 152mm caliber. Tang Dao explained its capabilities and demonstrated how to operate it. Lucian listened attentively, realizing that they had acquired a powerful weapon.

Lucian knew that the self-propelled artillery would not only bolster their defenses but also serve as a deterrent to potential adversaries. It was a game-changer for his group's position in the region.

As Tang Dao provided instructions on operating the howitzer, Lucian's group took notes and asked questions to ensure that they fully understood the equipment's capabilities and maintenance requirements.

The training sessions were intense, with the hope of making Lucian's group proficient in using the howitzer as quickly as possible. Tang Dao and his team worked diligently to transfer their knowledge, emphasizing safety protocols and effective firing techniques.

Lucian and his group, initially hesitant about the high cost of training, soon recognized its value. They knew that properly operating the 2S3 Akatsiya howitzer would give them a significant advantage in the volatile and dangerous environment of Somalia.

With the training underway, Lucian felt a growing sense of confidence in his group's ability to defend themselves and their territory effectively. He knew that the investment in training would pay off in the long run, making them a force to be reckoned with in Belle Devon and beyond.

Tang Dao, satisfied with the successful arms deal and the additional income from training services, continued to explore opportunities in the arms market in Somalia. He understood that the region's instability and ongoing conflicts presented numerous possibilities for arms sales and training.

As the days passed, Lucian's group continued their training, honing their skills with the self-propelled artillery. The sound of the howitzer firing echoed across Belle Devon, serving as a powerful reminder to potential adversaries that they were now a force to be reckoned with.

In this volatile and unpredictable region, where power and firepower often dictated outcomes, Lucian and his group had taken a significant step towards securing their future. The 2S3 Akatsiya howitzer would become a symbol of their strength and determination, a testament to their willingness to invest in their own security.

As Tang Dao and his team prepared to leave Belle Devon, they left behind a group that was more confident and capable than before. The arms dealer had not only made a profitable sale but had also contributed to strengthening a local force in their struggle for survival in Somalia's turbulent landscape.
