Chapter 641: Not a Simple Woman
The United States has a very complex network of interests in Iraq, and the CIA has been operating in Iraq for more than a decade.
After the Gulf War, Britain and France supported the independence of the Kurdish security zone in the north, and also hoped that the Kurds would overthrow the then Saddam Hussein's government.
As a result, the Kurds took action and carried out armed resistance, but because of the inaction of Britain and France, they were naturally suppressed by the Saddam government.
It also caused tens of millions of Kurds to flee to Syria and Turkey at that time, and finally in order to allow these people to return, the United Nations designated the northern region of Iraq as a safe zone, and the Iraqi government's troops and fighter jets were not allowed to approach.
There are still American fighter jets and British fighter jets patrolling here, and later, Saddam Hussein was killed by the British and American forces, and there is still no room for the Iraqi government to intervene in the Kurdish settlements in the north.
In other parts of Iraq, the intelligence network and chain of interests that the United States has in Iraq are probably not clear to even Hillary.
A lot of it is something that the CIA's top brass is doing in the shadows, because that thing often represents wealth.
Tsai now needs a stable Iraqi government, and Hillary Clinton needs a stable Iraq, which will help the United States move eastward in its long-term plans.
Now Cai Ruichen has formed an alliance with the United States, and the United States has a strong ally in the Middle East.
As for Iraq, what the United States needs is chaos in the Middle East as a whole, not that the entire Middle East is like a pot of porridge.
In response to Cai Ruichen's tentative proposal, Hillary Clinton did not make a decision immediately, or such a decision. It's not like she's just going to be in charge.
But. From their own interests. Hillary Clinton wants to see Iraq stabilized, but this stability needs to be seen to see where it goes.
As a matter of fact, an Iraq that is completely stable and peaceful is not what the United States wants to see, and the United States needs relative stability.
Unless it is very certain that Iraq has become a stable military ally of the United States in the Middle East, a sharp knife that can be firmly grasped by the United States.
It has the ability to completely eliminate all extremist groups in Iraq. Make Iraq the staunchest supporter of the United States in the Middle East, and then assist the United States in containing Russia's development in the Middle East, containing Iran's development strategy, while also undermining the strategic plan to restart the Silk Road.
In order to accomplish these tasks, it is actually very difficult to achieve it by relying on the allies of the United States and NATO alone.
The Israelis are not really of the same mind as the United States, and both Saudi Arabia and Egypt are beyond their reach.
Even if Saudi Arabia's relations with Syria and Iran are bad, they still fall short of the standards that the United States needs.
In terms of strength, Cai Ruichen is undoubtedly the best choice. But after all, he is also a Chinese, and Americans are not absolutely sure. can bind Cai Ruichen for a lifetime, and raising tigers for trouble is definitely not unfounded.
If such a big tiger is allowed to grow up, it will inevitably repeat the picture of the Saddam era, and it will definitely be much more difficult to deal with Iraq, which is supported by various high-tech industries, than it is to deal with Saddam, who was only supported by a few hundred thousand National Guards.
Hillary Clinton weighed it in her heart for a long time, but still did not give an answer immediately, but said to Cai Ruichen: "I also hope to see a peaceful and stable Iraq, as far as Dr. Cai's current thinking is concerned, it is very worthy of careful consultation between the two sides, and I believe that a result that is satisfactory to both sides." ”
There was no direct answer, but Hillary's answer was almost an answer to Cai Ruichen.
She did not refuse this proposal, but the specific way to do it requires careful consultation between the two parties.
To put it simply, I, the United States, agreed to your proposal and supported Idris as the new leader of the Iraqi government, so what good is it for me to be the United States?
And are the agreements signed between the Iraqi government and the United States still valid?
The Iraqi government owes the United States a high foreign debt, and what should Idris do when he comes to power?
The main thing is, what are the political leanings of Idris and what are his thoughts about the rest of the Middle East and Russia, as well as about China?
If we don't figure these things out, or implement various terms and agreements, how can the United States give a concrete answer right away?
This kind of answer is already what Cai Ruichen wants, and he didn't think that Hillary would give him a clear answer immediately.
If you can talk about it, it's half the story.
Judging from Hillary's reaction, the United States is really disappointed with the current Iraqi government.
If it weren't for the fact that Turkey and the Middle East in general were taken into account, the United States could have supported the Kurds.
It's just that now there is a better option, and the Kurds are naturally put aside by the US government.
Supporting a new Iraqi regime with Future Technologies is not a bad thing for the United States at the moment, but it will have a lot of benefits.
At least one thing is that the United States does not have to worry that the Iraqi government will run out of money to pay it back, and the future Iraq will not need the United States to take care of it from time to time.
Even if it can't build a second Saudi Arabia in the future, but if it creates a second Israel, the United States will not suffer at all in its long-term strategy in the Middle East.
Next, Cai Ruichen and Hillary Clinton chatted about the world.
Originally, Hillary Clinton wanted to ask Cai Ruichen's views on the situation in the Middle East and also on the international situation.
But Cai Ruichen answered very simply, he is not a politician, but a scientific researcher, not an observer of international politics, he does not care about the outside form, and if it were not for the unstable situation in Iraq and the environment he needs, he would not have asked about the situation in Iraq.
Through the front or side, Cai Ruichen also tried to give Hillary the impression that I have no ambition, as for whether Hillary will believe it, Cai Ruichen will further prove it in future actions.
In the next few years, Cai Ruichen must also maintain such an image in the United States, otherwise an ambitious Chinese has a place in the Middle East, and also has huge influence and strength, and the United States will inevitably feel uneasy in its heart.
In terms of psychology, Cai Ruichen also strives to have no language and superficial flaws.
You must know that the woman in front of her is not so simple, any clues may allow her to catch the true thoughts she wants to cover up in her heart. (To be continued.) )
