Chapter 718: The United States Comes to Collect Debt

Idris being the president of Iraq is just the beginning, and there are those Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region to solve.

Compared with the task of occupying the entire territory of Iraq in the wasteland, although this task in this world seems easier, in fact, it is more troublesome.

But everything in the wasteland is only about strength, as long as the strength is strengthened, everything is easy to handle.

In today's Iraq, with various interests involved, it is not possible to achieve the goal by blindly crushing power alone.

It is naturally the most important thing for Idris to mention this question, but he does not know the specific inside story, nor does he know what kind of Iraq Cai Ruichen wants.

So this question is also asked.

"How many such clans are there under the current Iraqi government?" Cai Ruichen didn't answer Idris's question immediately, but asked first.

"In the whole of Iraq, only the eastern and southern areas of Baghdad still have such clan armed forces. There are several clan armed forces of different factions in almost every city, and there are nearly a hundred of them. According to the records, the number of these armed personnel increases. It seems that there are at least 70,000 to 80,000, but the actual number of armed personnel may have exceeded 150,000." Idris said.

"The 150,000 private army is a terrible number. No government will allow such a force to exist in the country, and I absolutely will not allow it. It must be resolved immediately within 15 months. These private armed forces, this matter will be handed over to Zhao Long, you just need to assist." Cai Ruichen said sternly.

This scale is a bit larger than he expected. If these private armies are not resolved, not to mention the huge troubles that are likely to be caused in the future, it is impossible to complete the next mid-level authority task.

These armed forces are all in Iraq. With the existence of these armed forces, it is impossible for the base to think that it has fully controlled Iraq.

Therefore, in any case, such problems must be resolved as soon as possible within the time limit required by the authority task.

Idris naturally didn't know the relationship inside, but he was quite excited when he heard Cai Ruichen's words.

After all, as an Iraqi, he also hopes to see a country with unified government and order, and an Iraq that develops in unity. These armed forces are also one of the main reasons for restricting this kind of development. The next one is the president, and he naturally cannot tolerate such an existence.

Even Hafiz, who is still the president, cannot tolerate such an existence, but unfortunately, Hafiz has limited ability and does not have such strength to deal with these clan armed forces, so he can only carry out relative control , leaving this trouble to the next government.

The same thing is, if it weren't for Cai Ruichen's support, even if Idris could become the president of Iraq, he would not have the strength to deal with these clan armed forces.

It's all just because the government is not strong, otherwise there would be no such troubles.

Idris has no meaning in handing over these matters to Zhao Long. After he takes office, Zhao Long will become the new Minister of Defense of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and command the armed forces throughout Iraq.

Such a task, entrusted to Zhao Long, is not only justified, but also the most suitable.

Because Idris knew very well that, in fact, for the Marin Division and the Tikrit Division, without Zhao Long nodding, he would not be able to command as a soldier.

"How are you preparing for the election?" Cai Ruichen asked immediately.

"I have made all the preparations, and no one will come to compete with me, because everyone knows that without your support, anyone who is elected as this president will not be able to play well, and with the attitude of the United States, no one will come Try running against me," Idris replied.

"No matter what, you must be fully prepared. You, the president, cannot make any mistakes." Cai Ruichen nodded. Such a result is considered normal. As for the so-called election in Iraq, it is just a farce. in control.

And in this election, the United Nations didn't bother to send a monitoring team to monitor the fairness of the selection. Idris was elected without running away.

"However, the United States also stated that during my tenure as president, part of the debts of Iraq and the United States need to be repaid." Idris said.

Cai Ruichen also knows the news that the United States has been short of money recently, and various budgets have been reduced again and again.

And the United States, which is withdrawing dollars from all over the world, will naturally have to collect debts from these debt-debt countries.

Without the support of the Iraqi government from the Future Technology Group, the United States would not even be in the mood to speak. If the Iraqi government did not come to ask for help, the Americans would be very fortunate.

With the support of Future Technology Group, the United States is not worried that the Iraqi government will run out of money, so repayment is on the table.

And the debts of Iraq and the United States are not a small number. In addition to those debts that have been mortgaged by oil, there are debts of nearly tens of billions of dollars, and these debts are not even counted as the dollars of aid.

Cai Ruichen can help the Iraqi government repay the tens of billions of dollars as long as he wants to, and even help the Iraqi government take those mortgaged oil fields from the hands of the United States into his own hands.

However, to be honest, Cai Ruichen didn't want to do this. If tens of billions of dollars were repaid to the United States, it would not be good news for Russia.

So even if he has the money to pay back, he won't do it in a short time.

However, as a condition for the United States to support Idris, such debts must also be recognized, that is to say, as long as the two countries do not turn their faces, the money must be repaid.

"This matter can be delayed as long as it is possible. After all, Iraq needs to spend more money. The money invested in infrastructure construction alone is expected to exceed 200 billion U.S. dollars a year, and the cost is still increasing year by year. Incrementally, even if the future technology group has money, it will not be able to spend more money to repay such debts." Cai Ruichen thought for a while and said.

"I know how to respond to the United States." Idris only needs Cai Ruichen's attitude. As for the rest, he knows what to do.

In fact, this is also the case. With the Iraqi government's finances, it is impossible to have the money to repay the debts of the United States.

And the debt collection in the United States is based on the fact that Future Technology Group has money, and the purpose is to let Cai Ruichen replace those debts.

At the same time, the Americans are more or less aware that if the future technology group wants to build Iraq, they may not have the money to repay such additional debts, and they just try to fight for it as much as possible.
