Chapter 268: Political Wrangling

This is not the first time Hafiz has cooperated with Future Technology Group, and he readily agreed.

After Cai Ruichen asked to lease 30 square kilometers of land, he agreed.

Soon, a staff member brought a detailed map.

Cai Ruichen picked up a homework pen and drew a circle on the map, just to include a corner of the mountains south of Basra.

"I want this area. It just so happens that there is no development here. There are only some small villages and simple docks along the coast, and the water depth is suitable." Cai Ruichen said as he put down his homework pen.

"I'll arrange personnel to survey this area immediately, but the people in the coastal villages still need the Future Technology Group to negotiate compensation with them," Hafiz said.

Cai Ruichen nodded, the main issue has been settled, so we have to talk about another issue.

"I wonder what Mr. President thinks about the current war in Samarra?" Cai Ruichen asked.

"I still need to thank Mr. Cai for his help." As soon as he mentioned Samarra, Hafiz's face changed a little, and he said almost gritted his teeth.

"Is Mr. President still feeling distressed about those devices?" Cai Ruichen asked.

"I feel sorry for the city that was destroyed by the convoy. I'm afraid Samarra can't see a complete wall now!" Hafiz said.

"If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come. If the Iraqi government is unable to rebuild Samarra, we are more than happy to help." Cai Ruichen said calmly.

"Oh, Mr. Cai, please explain clearly." Hafiz said.

"It's very simple. The industries in Samarra are technologies of the last century. They should have been eliminated long ago. There is no need for soldiers to die. As for the city of Samarra, it will take a lot of money to rebuild it. "

Cai Ruichen paused and said: "And we didn't destroy this city. In the battle a month ago, this city could have been directly demolished and rebuilt, and we just pushed those buildings that had not completely collapsed. a handful.

If Samarra is rebuilt in the future. Those remaining buildings still have to be blasted, but now it's even easier.

However, the money needed to rebuild Samarra is not a small sum, at least an initial cost of tens of billions of dollars is required. Add to that the rebuilding of the refinery industry, the railway station, and those industrial areas, and it will cost even more.

It is not known whether the Iraqi government intends to rebuild Samarra.

If so, I believe that our future construction company will be your best partner. "

Hafiz listened. Feeling tens of thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past his heart, he felt that politicians were already shameless and hypocritical. He didn't expect that the knowledgeable young man in front of him actually had the face of a profiteer.

He obviously destroyed Samarra, but in the end he wanted to ask for money to rebuild Samarra.

Don't say the Iraqi government has no money. Even if you have money, it is impossible to pay for such a reconstruction.

According to his idea, it is better to simply use some tents and mobile homes. The residents of Samarra should be resettled first, and the future will be discussed later.

Even if it is to rebuild Samarra, we have to wait until the price of the international crude oil market rises.

"The government doesn't have the money to complete such a construction now." Hafiz shook his head. A look of regret.

Cai Ruichen originally wanted to test the other party, but when he saw this, he could only sigh in his heart.

He had investigated Hafez and knew about Hafez's net worth. As the first internationally recognized president of the Iraqi government after Saddam Hussein, Hafez had a lot of net worth.

There are billions of dollars in deposits in Swiss banks alone, and a large amount of precious metals, including several tons of gold alone.

Moreover, he also bought a large amount of bonds in his own name in the United States, and his total assets definitely exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars.

It is said that it is difficult for the country to make money, and after only a few years as president, Hafez's net worth is richer than those international predators who have worked hard all their lives.

Now it is said that there is no money. A considerable part of Iraq's daily oil exports flows into the pockets of these vampires.

Those officials, like leeches, lay on the old man in Iraq who was dying and dying, and kept sucking his blood.

It is said that people do not destroy heaven and earth for themselves, and this sentence is fully interpreted here.

However, it doesn't matter to him for the time being. When it comes to that point in the future, he will let these people spit out everything they eat.

"That's very regrettable. After all, the battle in Samarra is not over yet, so it's too early to say that." Cai Ruichen shook his head, also with a look of regret, but his regret was completely different from that of Hafiz.

"Hasn't ISIS been stopped in Samarra by artillery fire?" Hafiz asked.

"That's only temporary. The artillery fire will stop one day, and according to intelligence, the Islamic State has assembled three brigades of elite troops, ready to support Samarra at any time."

Cai Ruichen paused, and continued: "Their real goal is not Samarra, but Baghdad."

Hafiz was not too surprised when he heard this. Obviously, they could also see the ultimate strategic goal of the Islamic State.

However, there is nothing strange about this. If they hadn't seen this, the government army would not be so concerned this time and send heavy troops to support the battle in Samarra.

If it weren't for Marin Town's participation, the current Samarra battle would still be going on.

"The government forces are capable and determined. They will not allow the armed forces of the Islamic State to cross Samarra." Hafiz said, not wanting to weaken himself in front of Cai Ruichen.

In fact, he knew very well that if the Islamic State really sent three brigades of troops to support it, then the form of Samarra would be really dangerous.

It's just that when he thought of the hospital of the Future Technology Group in Samarra and their troops, he felt relieved all of a sudden.

"This is the best way, then we can safely withdraw our troops." Cai Ruichen said with relief when his eyes lit up.

"Uh!" Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Hafiz couldn't sit still. Marin Town had been bombarding Samarra for 20 days. What's the matter with withdrawing troops at this time.

This was completely different from what was written in the script, which made him feel at a loss as to how to fight it.

"Mr. Cai was joking, the government army still needs your help very much." Hafiz, who could no longer pretend, could only lower his status, and said.

"Uh, didn't Mr. President just say that the government forces are capable and determined to resist the attack of the Islamic State?" Cai Ruichen asked with a strange look. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
