Chapter Eighty-Six: The Escort Regiment
In the original time and space, Iraq has never been peaceful since the Yankees intervened until 2016, when Zhao Zejun traveled through, and there was a war every day.
Therefore, it is generally believed that the most needed thing in the local area is weapons.
In fact, the last thing Iraq lacks is weapons. There is no need to mention that the Iraqi government army is all armed with Americans, and it is all American-style equipment; of course, whether or not they can fight a war is two different things, and the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi government army is also a word of map.
The Yankee army is so rich that its weapons are regularly reloaded, and every time they go to fight in a place, they discard a large number of so-called 'aging' weapons before leaving. Part of the reason is that the Yankees are too rich, and part of the reason is that the 'American characteristics' caused by the arms dealers in the United States secretly exert their efforts to influence the decision-making of the government and the military.
Nicolas Cage has a movie called "Lord of War", in which there is a scene that reflects this phenomenon more realistically: in a war-torn country in Africa, after the withdrawal of US troops, there are mountains of munitions left, mainly semi-automatic rifles, and the male protagonist bribes the quartermaster to buy tons of arms at the price of scrap iron and sell them to other poor warlords in exchange for diamonds to make a fortune.
This kind of thing also exists in Iraq, and even 'bribe' quartermasters are not wanted, and the Yankees have left too many weapons, some of which are equipped with government troops, and some of which are thrown directly into warehouses for backup.
As for high-tech weapons and long-range strike weapons, Iraq is of course lacking. The big countries in the world are all clear in their hearts, and it is okay for those neuropaths in the Middle East to give guns and artillery, and let them do their own things, but they must not be allowed to have truly modern and powerful long-range strike weapons.
After Sun Hua arrived, the Iraqi Ministry of Commerce received him warmly, and when he opened his mouth, he did not talk about business, but asked if he wanted to buy guns, which could provide arms for investors at a very cheap price......
Sun Hua and Ouyang Jing asked Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao rolled his eyes, let's talk about this later.
What the Iraqi government really lacks right now is money, or rather, investment. It takes money to sustain the government, to spend on the military, to pacify the tribes, and at the same time, to invest in foreign companies: whether it can make money or not, foreign investment means that Iraq can reconnect with the outside world, show itself to the world, and re-enter the global market.
Those who dare to invest in Iraq have a certain amount of influence in their respective countries, and these enterprises can not only provide tax revenue, but also have an impact on Iraq on the international stage......
In short, as Zhao Zejun judged, for businessmen, especially big investors, Iraq is too welcome.
Among the world's investment businessmen, although Chinese businessmen are not the richest, they are the best choice, saying that China has a relatively strong influence in overseas war-torn areas, is not a lie, the reason is very simple, China upholds the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, respect for religious beliefs, these years in the world, only planting trees, not digging pits, almost no enemies.
Not to mention that the rebels are terrorists like IS, no matter how ferocious they are, they are not stupid after all, and they have no territorial or religious demands on China, so why bother to offend this big country in the East? Except for a very small number of extremists, the vast majority of the so-called rebels and government forces in the world will not take the initiative to cause this trouble.
The anti-American sentiment of the Iraqi people is very serious, and the impression of the Chinese is not bad. If you change an investor, for example, if the Yankees go to Iraq to open a factory, it is estimated that it will take two bombs in three days.
Another good thing is that Chinese businessmen are generous. This time Sun Hua and Ouyang Jing went, and the 'activity funds' approved by Zhao Zejun for Ouyang Jing were five million US dollars, which could be added if it was not enough.
There's not a lot of money, and it's enough to deal with the poor people in Iraq.
As soon as Sun Hua arrived in Iraq, he settled in the 'guest house' of the Iraqi presidential palace. However, it is said that the environment is not as good as the small hotels in the domestic county, and the sheets are not even changed, which is dirty.
Now it has entered the site selection stage. Zhao Zejun's meaning is to choose near the capital, and choose the safest area according to the memories of later generations. However, the specific operation is still better known to Sun Hua and Ouyang Jing, who are in Iraq, and it is inconvenient for Zhao Zejun to interfere too much.
The two were leading a team to investigate, and the presidential palace sent a company of soldiers to accompany them to protect them.
At every turn, hundreds of armed men with guns rushed forward and back, and the scene was quite shocking.
Zhao Zejun thought about it, and had an idea, notified Sun Hua and Ouyang Jing, and told the Iraqi government that this investment, in order to thank the Iraqi government for its support, we will build a military camp for the other party free of charge...... It's about the size of a main infantry regiment.
Sun Hua didn't react at first, but Ouyang Jing suddenly understood what Zhao Zejun really meant: this future small military camp is naturally around the future factory area.
The Iraqi government army will not fight again, in the safe area, there is a regiment of regular troops guarding the side, the factory will not encounter a major security problem no matter what, when the time comes, the more than a dozen regiments and battalion-level Iraqi soldiers, these 2,000 people, is the Iraqi escort of the Zezi system!
The abacus sounded.
Just this afternoon, the Iraqi side gave a response: very grateful for the support of entrepreneurs from the mainland, a reinforced mountain regiment with an artillery battalion will be transferred to the future barracks. Privately, the other party promised that the group would provide protection and the necessary 'market development work' for the future factory.
Ouyang Jing was a little shocked, and followed Zhao Zejun to mix, and the grade was really different immediately. In the past, in Canada, Shunyuan was nothing more than a regional association, and it was only a few days before he came to Iraq and directly controlled other government forces?
There is no way, the environment is different, the way is different, and it should be adapted to local conditions.
The Iraq negotiations were smooth sailing, Zhao Zejun was in a good mood, and was thinking about when he would go to see it himself, when he heard Liu Yan on the side exclaim slightly: "Mr. Zhao, look!"
Following her fingers, she saw that not far above the sea, there was a floor larger than the Noah, and there was probably a three-story large yacht of fifty or sixty meters.
On the deck of the yacht, a group of men and women wearing bikinis and shorts can hear the fierce music from the opposite yacht from the sea from far away, and it seems that they are having a party.
"What are they going to do?" Zhao Zejun saw the direction of the ship clearly, and his face sank instantly.
The boat on the opposite side sang and danced, and the handsome guys and beauties were lively and ruthless, but Liu Yan pointed to the boat and 'exclaimed', not because of this.
Zhao Zejun's face was ugly, and it wasn't because of the other party's music that he was noisy.
The two ships are so close that they are already close to the danger range!
