Chapter 269: Samarra Sovereignty
Hafez's face was even more embarrassed, and he regretted a little why he had just slapped his swollen face and became fat.
Now, if you can't get off the stage for a while, do you have to admit with a shy face that without the help of the Future Technology Group, with the current strength of the government army, it is simply impossible to stop the ISIS forces that continue to increase their troops.
As for the fact that the Islamic State has increased its troops in Samarra, Hafez actually knows about it.
"The government forces are also really asking for the assistance of the Future Technology Group, and if the Future Technology Group can help us defend against the attack of the Islamic State, then everything is easy to say."
Hafez doesn't have time to worry about his own face at the moment, after all, what matters to his political career is the most important thing.
However, after saying this, he also woke up to some extent, Cai Ruichen's trip seemed to be about the lease of the shipyard.
But it was clear that the fighting in Samarra was the main problem with him when he came to Baghdad to meet him.
As soon as he thought of this, he regretted it a little, he was too anxious and fooled.
"Since Mr. President has spoken, then I will naturally not refuse, what we want is very simple, that is, Samarra's right to rebuild." Cai Ruichen didn't continue to talk about it, and said directly.
"But Mr. Cai, the government's finances are tight and it is not able to rebuild Samarra." Hafez, who originally thought that Cai Ruichen was going to open his mouth, heard Cai Ruichen play the same old tune, and he couldn't grasp the real purpose of the other party.
"The government doesn't have the money, but we do, so does President Hafez think that the general hospital we built in Samarra was put there to get moldy? If Samarra does not rebuild. Then we will lose even more. Cai Ruichen said.
"And you're going to pay for reconstruction?"
Hafez's eyes lit up first. But it soon calmed down. Although Cai Ruichen said something that made him feel excited, he knew better that things could never be so simple, and then asked, "Are there any conditions?" ”
"There are no outsiders here, and I don't hide it from Mr. President, it does have a purpose."
After weighing it in his heart for a moment, Cai Ruichen said directly: "I need the city of Samarra to promote the development of Future Technology Group, if Mr. President acquiesces to the absolute control we have over Samarra." Then we will have an obligation to help government forces resist and crush the momentum of ISIS's southward movement. ”
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Hafez instinctively wanted to refuse directly, but after hearing the latter words, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.
kept weighing the pros and cons of this matter in his heart, if it was really as Cai Ruichen said, it would be a good deal.
Now Samarra has nothing but ruins, and the government is incapable of rebuilding a city.
Even if it is not given to the Islamic State, nor to the Future Technology Group, it is in the hands of government forces that there is nothing in ruins. It's worthless at all.
The most frustrating thing is that the government has to arrange for more than 200,000 refugees in Samarra. Every day's money expenditure is indispensable.
All in all, even if the government forces recaptured Samarra, it would only be a loss-making deal.
The strategic goal that can be achieved is nothing more than to stop the southward movement of the Islamic State.
And in such a battle, the casualties of the troops are not a small number, and the military expenditure will be very large.
If the Future Technology Group is launched, the government can also save a lot of money and expenditure, which seems to be very beneficial.
It is also in the Iraqi government's interest to give Samarra to Future Technology Group than to fall into the hands of ISIS.
So all things considered, the Iraqi government did make money.
However, for a country and a government, this is not the case.
The development momentum of the future technology group is too strong, and Hafez is also worried that one day, the tiger will be raised.
Today gave Samarra to Future Technology Group, but what about tomorrow?
He doesn't have to think about this either, after all, no one can say anything bad about the future.
In particular, the combat effectiveness that erupted from the armed forces in Marin Town also made the whole world dare not underestimate it.
Cai Ruichen, who was next to him, saw the hesitation on Hafez's face, and also saw the other party's inner struggle at the moment, so he continued: "If the government can agree to my request, then in the future, no matter what, the future technology group will support the government, from a private point of view, we will support Mr. President, you are the worthy leader of Iraq." ”
Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, the scale in Hafez's heart began to lean towards the Future Technology Group again.
The interests of the country are far less important to Hafez than his own.
With the support of Future Technology Group, Hafez feels that he can really sit in the position of Iraqi president for longer.
Cai Ruichen, who observed Hafez's face, continued to take strong medicine: "In the future, if the Kurdish forces plan to establish an independent state, the future technology group will definitely stand with the government, resolutely resist, and at the appropriate time, it will also take the initiative to recover the cities occupied by the Islamic State in the north." ”
"That's it." Hearing Cai Ruichen's promise, Hafez's heart, all his worries disappeared.
Political trade-offs and deals are inherently a comparison of the size of interests.
Originally, he was already inclined to hand over Samarra, who was tasteless and discarded, to Future Technology Group, but now after hearing the promise behind him, he had no worries.
"Mr. Cai, if you can really think about what you said, then it is not a problem to give Samarra to Future Technology Group, after all, the government really does not have the ability to fund the reconstruction of Samarra, if you have such ability and determination, I believe that more than 200,000 residents of Samarra will be grateful to Mr. Cai." Hafez didn't directly agree, but said pointedly.
As a politician, all he has to think about is maximizing the benefits, and the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Samarra into the surrounding cities has put a burden on the government.
If the future technology group can solve these troubles by the way, it will naturally be the best.
Cai Ruichen didn't understand Hafez's inner little ninety-nine, and said: "The resettlement of the residents of Samarra is also our responsibility that cannot be postponed, please rest assured, Mr. President." ”
He didn't intend to give up on those refugees, knowing that those who were uprooted by the war were the future population base, so even if Hafez didn't say it, he would bring it up.
Now that Hafez is speaking, then he will be giving the government more face.
As soon as he heard Cai Ruichen's words, the smile on Hafez's face became even stronger.
Soon, the two sides agreed on two things, and immediately signed some cooperation documents.
Although there is no record of Samarra's sovereignty in black and white, there is a video and audio recording as the final evidence, and there is no fear that both sides will regret it. (To be continued.) )
