Chapter 639: America’s Worries
Naturally, Cai Ruichen didn't need to reject Hillary's behavior of a local tyrant. After all, he also felt that if these rooms were placed here, no one would live in them once a year, which was indeed a bit of a waste.
Since Hillary is willing to pay, he is also happy to get a pocket money.
"Then I don't know what Mrs. Hillary's impression of Marin Town is?" Cai Ruichen asked, looking at the lights of Baghdad that could be seen almost from afar.
"It's hard to believe that this is in Iraq. It gives people a sense of peace." Hillary said this, paused and continued: "As for other places in Iraq, let alone talk about it, the situation is really terrible."
"It's not bad. When I came here, I always told myself to be careful when I went out. There were two times when I was really close to death. The bullet flew past my cheek." Cai Ruichen said with some emotion.
Of course, the situation at the scene was even more brutal than what he said. The first time he was in danger was when he returned to Marin Town from Baghdad and was attacked.
And the next time was a human bomb at close range. At that time, the bullet really flew past his skin. He still remembers it vividly.
Speaking of these two dangers, Cai Ruichen also had a bit of aftertaste.
"In such a place, it's not easy for anyone, and we don't know when it will be peaceful here, and our fighter jets are saved, so we are busy here every day." Hillary also said with emotion.
The United States wants to stabilize Iraq, which is only a recent decision, especially when the Syria negotiations have not progressed, and the strategic eastward shift has really left the United States at a loss.
At present, the United States no longer has the support of an aircraft carrier battle group in the Fifth Fleet, and there are no large-scale main combat ships in the naval base in Bahrain.
The only fleet that can be produced is an amphibious strike brigade. Capable of taking off and landing some Sea Harriers.
Currently. It is also almost the time when the U.S. military forces in the Middle East are the most empty, and Russia is here to stir up the situation.
The top leaders of the United States are also very depressed at the moment, after all, an aircraft carrier is undergoing major repairs. It simply cannot be done without a year or two, and the training carriers are also training skilled carrier navies.
strategically. It is also required that the U.S. Navy must maintain the combat power of three aircraft carrier battle groups in the Pacific Ocean. Only one Pacific Ocean will involve at least five aircraft carriers.
Now.
The aircraft carrier organization of the US Navy is completely insufficient. It will take two years at the earliest before spare aircraft carriers are deployed to the Middle East.
However, just a few days ago, Huaxia announced again. There will be a third carrier under construction, and a second carrier. It is also the official first aircraft carrier, which is already undergoing sea trials and joining the naval battle sequence. It won't take long.
Faced with China, where even the aircraft carrier has to start making dumplings, the United States has no confidence. If two years later, the second Ford-class aircraft carrier has not yet entered service, will there really be an aircraft carrier sent to the Middle East?
As for Russia's expansion of influence in the Middle East, the United States must also be prepared to deal with it. It is far from enough to rely on the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean.
Even when necessary, it is necessary to expand the carrier battle group of the Sixth Fleet into a dual carrier battle group.
To curb Russia's growing military presence here in Syria, otherwise Russia will also gain a foothold here in the Middle East.
In this way, it is very critical to save costs and achieve strategic goals.
In fact, the U.S. is really out of money. The U.S. dollar raises interest rates. When the U.S. dollar appreciates, all the money taken back is used for destruction. The money exceeds the printed money and cannot be used.
And this is the main purpose of Hillary coming here to meet Cai Ruichen. The United States has discovered that if it wants to maintain its strategic goals in the Middle East, it really needs a strong ally to gain a firm foothold in the Middle East.
The Iraqi government is a vicious struggle that cannot be supported, and the United States dare not support the Kurds, because the United States has already been troubled by these nationalists.
Once the Kurds, one of the four major ethnic groups in the Middle East, are helped to control the sovereignty of Iraq, a series of consequences may cause the situation in the Middle East to lose control.
After all, the United States does not believe that the Kurds will be of one mind with itself. After all, among the Kurds, there are many anti-American voices.
If it is necessary to help and fight the Islamic State, the United States will do it, but it is not necessary for the United States to go to this point to help the Kurds become independent.
Cai Ruichen is completely different. First of all, Cai Ruichen is here in the Middle East. It can be said that he is helpless, without the support of a nation, let alone a Middle Easterner.
In the final analysis, he will not be of the same mind with the Middle Easterners, and the Middle Easterners have an ancient tradition of xenophobic, and instinctively reject people like Cai Ruichen.
The Future Technology Group has also become the target of those extremists in the Middle East, which is almost the same as the situation that the United States faced in Iraq.
Under such circumstances, the best choice is definitely not those Middle Easterners, but outsiders like Cai Ruichen.
What's more, Cai Ruichen already has the ability to gain a firm foothold here in the Middle East. He does not need the United States to support him, and he has decisive power in himself.
If such an ally can be drawn in, the benefits to the United States will be maximized.
The only thing that makes Americans regret is that Cai Ruichen is not an American, after all, he is still a Chinese.
It is precisely because of this status that there have always been many voices of opposition to this decision at the top of the US government.
In the Congress, only more than half of the members really support and support Cai Ruichen, and only a quarter of them oppose it. The rest of the members are vacillating.
If it weren't for the numerous investigations conducted by the United States, it was confirmed that Cai Ruichen had never had any contact with his motherland. He had studied and grown up in the United States before he was an adult, and no one in the country supported him to study in the United States.
And all the experience in the United States, working and studying, all after detailed investigation, it was confirmed that it had nothing to do with Huaxia.
No more than half of the people in the US Congress will choose to support Cai Ruichen.
And those who objected did not doubt the results of the investigation. In fact, the results of the American investigation were all true. Cai Ruichen's so-called life and energy in the United States really had nothing to do with Huaxia.
What they worry about is that Cai Ruichen may have national sentiments, and in the end he will still choose to go with Huaxia, which is rising and challenging the status of the United States. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
