Joe Ga was very interested in the so-called 'quid pro quo'!
Because to fully control Mukalla in Yemen, he needed assistance from naval forces.
Getting the Americans to send their Zumwalt over was just the beginning; Joe Ga had to seek more support.
Just like when navies from all over the world gathered in the Gulf of Aden, Joe Ga needed to have the big brothers send ships to intimidate the coastal cities of Yemen, reducing his pressure.
The Princess's naval escort only had four ships, suitable for fighting pirates, but wanting to blockade Yemen's extensive coastline was impossible.
Joe Ga's position on the naval escort was to escort supply ships to Mukalla while ensuring the security around the port.
This was different from Iraq; once on land, P.B. was on its own.
If they couldn't blockade the sea, giving Al-Qaeda room to maneuver, no matter how capable P.B.'s people were, they would be exhausted by endless battles.
