Joe Ga had never fully realized that his mentality was not that of a traditional arms dealer.
He also hadn't realized that it was precisely because he "wanted too little", essentially the "Lion Logic" that he had devised himself, that he had earned sufficient trust from those people.

Expanding the dish, even if it meant pulling a few more people on board, would allow him to reap more benefits.
In the past, no one in Africa could achieve it. The bastards from Congo knew it was beyond them, so they were ready to spend big money to bring in the reputable P·B company.
Politicians aren't foolish, they know the benefits of Joe Ga's approach. However, they inheriting the capitalistic tendencies from the West, doubted their own ability to achieve it because the situation could change at any time, perhaps being president today and no longer tomorrow.
