Sending troops to Afghanistan, Cai Ruichen did not intend to refuse, but it was impossible to agree so easily.

Cracking down on the Taliban will not affect the situation and overall situation of the entire Middle East, because after all, the Taliban forces are also the target of everyone's shouting and attacking in the Middle East countries.

"In terms of logistics, we will try our best to provide necessary assistance to Future Technology Group." Ao and Bama looked at Cai Ruichen's embarrassed look, and said a little speechlessly.

It is a well-known fact that Future Technology Group is rich, and even the US government is very envious of Future Technology Group's financial strength.

Cai Ruichen's South American itinerary only passed through three countries, and he threw out an investment of 20 billion US dollars, which is bigger than the arms of a big country.

Now Cai Ruichen looks like he is bargaining, and the businessman's face is exposed, which makes Ao and Bama quite speechless.

Sending troops to Afghanistan is not a high-intensity air raid, at most a few air strikes per day, and counting all the costs, it is less than a million dollars per day.

This kind of consumption is really a drizzle for Future Technology Group, and it is not even a dime.

However, Austria and Bama can also understand that there are various transactions between countries.

The interests of Afghanistan are not the interests of the future technology group, and it is normal for Cai Ruichen not to want to go and refuse.

"Logistics is not the main problem, mainly because it is too troublesome, and every day you have to fly long distances to Afghanistan and then fly back, which is a completely different model from the original fight against ISIS." Cai Ruichen said.

O, Bama heard this. Just as he was about to say something, Cai Ruichen continued: "I'll think about this matter again, compared to the problem of Afghanistan." Actually, I am more concerned about the Syrian issue. ”

It took him nearly three seconds to react to the change in the topic of Cai Ruichen, and he needed to consider why Cai Ruichen was suddenly involved in the Syrian issue, and asked: "Mr. Cai, does the situation in Syria have any impact on the future technology group?" ”

"Naturally, it has an impact, and I believe Mr. President knows it. We have a huge industrial area in Tartus, and a lot of goods are exported from Tartus to Europe. But Tartus is far from the town of Marin, and ground transportation has always been inconvenient due to the unstable situation in Syria.

Perhaps you should also be aware that our convoy is going to enter between Tartus. Not only the Iraqi government has to pay taxes. Entering the territory of Syria and entering Tartus requires three completely overlapping taxes.

This puts a huge cost pressure on us, and it is even more expensive if we use air transportation. At the same time, trucking, efficiency and freight are not very cost-effective.

Originally, we planned to build a high-speed railway connecting Tartus and the town of Marin after complete peace in Syria, and now the railway has been built to the border between Iraq and Syria. But because of the turmoil in Syria, we are in the project. It has been put on hold for more than a year.

I thought that the situation in Syria would soon calm down, but now it seems that peace is almost impossible without strong direct military intervention. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Ruichen paused and continued: "If the grain and commodities we import from the United States, or the goods imported from South America, can be directly unloaded at the port of Tartus, and then transported to us by high-speed rail, it will also greatly reduce the cost of transportation.

What's more, the current Basra and Iraq's second ports are all at full capacity every day, which is simply not enough to meet our import and export needs, although we have reached cooperation with Kuwait's ports, but they are also unable to meet the next needs.

In Tartus, we have built a port, which I believe is well known to Mr. President, but because of the turmoil, we have invested tens of billions of dollars to build a port, which is now like a small wharf. ”

Listening to Cai Ruichen say this, Ao and Bama's faces also began to change, but he didn't interject in a hurry, waiting for Cai Ruichen to continue.

"The interests of the future technology group in Syria have been more and more, and it has directly affected our next stage of development and involved our core interests, so in any case, the situation in Syria must be completely stabilized within half a year, no matter who is in power, Syria can no longer be chaotic."

Speaking of this, Cai Ruichen said with a serious look in his eyes: "In order to protect the core interests and the guarantee of future development, if the situation in Syria has not changed significantly within a certain period of time, then the future technology group can only directly intervene in the situation in Syria, and the direct use of force is not ruled out." ”

When Ao and Bama heard the last paragraph, they couldn't hide their surprise on their faces, and Cai Ruichen's sudden mention of the Syrian issue made him extremely shocked in his heart.

In the future, if the technology group wants to interfere in the Syrian issue, the instant thought in the minds of Austria and Bama is that Cai Ruichen is too bold.

However, he didn't make a decision in a hurry, Cai Ruichen said this in front of him, obviously with a plan and a plan.

"Direct military intervention, what kind of intervention method does Mr. Cai plan to use?" Ao and Bama asked very seriously.

"The possibility of sending ground forces is not ruled out." Cai Ruichen replied decisively.

Sending troops to Syria was an idea he had for a long time, and at this point, Cai Ruichen also communicated with Pu and Beijing.

The main purpose of coming to the United States this time is to implement this matter, otherwise, the United States will inevitably have a big opinion on the sudden dispatch of troops to Syria.

At this point, Cai Ruichen doesn't want to turn his face with the United States so soon, the most important thing is that there is no time to turn his face now.

But the Syrian problem, Cai Ruichen really wants to solve it earlier, and then arm the Syrian army as well.

Compared with the Iraqi army, the troops raised by Bashar are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they are all veritable elite soldiers, and they are also able to use modern weapons and equipment, and as long as they have enough weapons and equipment, they can form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

However, the whole thing is actually contrary to the interests of the United States in Syria.

Of course, it is impossible for Cai Ruichen to tell the United States that he sent troops to Syria to help Assad, and as for where the interests of the United States are, he will naturally choose to say in that direction. (To be continued.) )
