After being persuaded, Ngonga was very cooperative...
The only people who could make trouble for Boss Qiao were a few die-hard subordinates of Samuel, who controlled the military and police system of 'Butembo'.
Ngonga made several calls and asked Samuel's hardcore followers to come to the rescue right away.
Then, when those people blocked the entrance of the military base with armed pickups and police cars, they encountered a premeditated counter-encirclement.
More than 500 soldiers and police officers came, only to be indiscriminately shelled by twenty 120mm mortars and blasted by antitank missiles from the Milos Armored Vehicles.
The previously smooth road was blasted into a pitted mess; there weren't bodies everywhere, but of those 500 loyal soldiers, only about a hundred survived.
It wasn't that Joe Ga was heartless; his limited forces meant he had to take the most vigorous measures to take over 'Butembo,' as any dissent could affect his strategy.
