Vol 3 Chapter 718: US Debt Collection

Idris’ being the president of Iraq is just the beginning, and the Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region have to settle.
Compared with the task of the wasteland occupying the entire territory of Iraq, although this task in the present world seems easier, in fact, it is more troublesome.
And everything in the wasteland is all about strength, only strength is needed, everything is easy to handle.
In the current Iraq, various interests are involved, and the goal cannot be achieved by blindly crushing by strength.
Idris said this question is naturally the most critical, but he does not know the specific internal situation, nor does he know what kind of Iraq Cai Ruichen wants.
That's why this question is asked.
"How many clan armed forces are there under the current Iraqi government?" Cai Ruichen did not immediately answer Idris's question, but asked first.
"In the entire Iraqi territory, only the eastern and southern regions of Baghdad still have such clan armed forces. Almost every city has several clan armed forces of different factions. There are nearly 100 large and small. According to records, the number of these armed personnel has increased. Get up, there are at least seven to eighty thousand, but the actual armed personnel may have exceeded 150,000." Idris said.
"One hundred and fifty thousand private army, this is a terrible number. No government will allow this power to exist in the country, and I will absolutely not allow it. It must be resolved immediately within 15 months. These private weapons, this matter will be handed over to Zhao Long, you only need assistance." Cai Ruichen said sternly.
This scale is a little larger than he expected. If these private troops are not resolved, let alone the huge troubles that are likely to cause in the future, the next intermediate-level missions will be impossible to complete.
These armed forces are all in Iraq. With the presence of these armed forces, it is impossible for the base to believe that it has fully controlled Iraq.
Therefore, in any case, such problems must be resolved as soon as possible within the requirements of the authority tasks.
Idris naturally didn't know the relationship inside, but when he heard Cai Ruichen's words, he was also quite excited.
After all, as an Iraqi, he also hopes to see a unified government, an Iraq that is united and developed. These armed forces are also one of the main reasons restricting this development. Next is the president, and naturally he cannot tolerate such an existence.
Even Hafez, who is still the president, cannot tolerate such an existence, but unfortunately, Hafez has limited ability and does not have the ability to deal with these clan armed forces. He can only exercise relative control. , Leaving this trouble to the next government.
The same is that if it were not for Cai Ruichen's support, even if Idris could become the president of Iraq, he would not have the strength to resolve these clans.
Everything is just because the government is not strong, otherwise there is such a trouble.
It doesn't make any sense for Idris to leave these things 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 appropriate.
Because Idris himself knew very well, in fact, for Division Marin and Division Tikrit, he would not be able to command without Zhao Long nodding his head.
"How are the preparations for the election?" Cai Ruichen asked immediately.
"Everything is ready and no one will come to compete with me, because everyone knows that without your support, no one can be elected as this president, plus the attitude of the United States, no one will come. Try to run with me." Idris replied.
"No matter what, you must be fully prepared. You, the president, can't make any mistakes." Cai Ruichen nodded. Such a result is normal. As for the so-called election in Iraq, it is just a farce, everything is all. In control.
Moreover, in this election, the United Nations did not bother to send a monitoring team to monitor the fairness of the selection. Idris was elected.
"However, the United States has also stated that during my presidency, 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 running tight recently, and various fiscal budgets have been reduced.
And the United States, which is returning the US dollar around the world, will naturally also have to collect debts from these debtor countries.
Without the support of the Mirae Technology Group, the United States would not even have the heart to speak. If the Iraqi government does not come to ask for help, the Americans would be very lucky.
With the support of the Future Technology Group, the United States is not worried that the Iraqi government will run out of money, so paying back is on the table.
The debts of Iraq and the United States are not a small number. In addition to the debts that have been mortgaged with oil, there are debts of nearly tens of billions of dollars. These debts are not even considered as aid dollars.
With tens of billions of dollars, Cai Ruichen can help the Iraqi government to repay it at any time as long as he wants to, and even help the Iraqi government get those mortgaged oil fields 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 it back, he won't do it in a short time.
However, as a condition of supporting Idris, the United States must also recognize such debts. In other words, the money must be repaid as long as the two countries do not turn their faces.
"This matter can be delayed. After all, Iraq is a waste of money and needs to spend more money. The money invested in infrastructure construction alone is expected to exceed 200 billion US dollars a year, and the cost is still year by year. Increasingly, even if the Future Technology Group has money, it will not be unable 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 to get Cai Ruichen's attitude, as for the rest, he knows how to do it.
In fact, this is also true. With the Iraqi government's finances, it is impossible to have money to repay the debts of the United States.
The US debt collection is based on the wealth of the Future Technology Group, and the purpose is to allow Cai Ruichen to replace those debts.
At the same time, the Americans know to some extent that if the technology group wants to build Iraq in the future, they may not have the money to repay such additional debts. They just try their best.
