…
Wang Zhen finally figured it out, Feisal was rebellious for the first time!
Forming an armed force is actually quite simple in Iraq.
Strictly speaking, there are no troops in Iraq now.
After the overthrow of Shadamu in 2003, the Iraqi army was disbanded by the United States. The current name of the Iraqi army is the "Iraqi Security Forces", which consists of the National Guard, the police force, the anti-terrorism force, the coast guard and the air force. Currently, it generally only has light weapons.
equipment.
Because there is no clear Iraqi army and its number is scarce, there are many warlords in various places. In Baghdad, for example, there are more than thirty armed forces of various sizes.
There are even more places, large and small, countless.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Faisal to form an armed force that obeys his orders, especially when he has defected to the United States. As long as he is obedient, it is not a problem to give his armed forces the title of National Guard or police force.
Faisal quickly figured this out and became even more excited. The future was bright!
Of course, before this, it was useless for him to think about it, there was no funds and no source of weapons.
Now, if Wang Zhen can convince the US government, then nothing will be a problem, that's what Faisal thinks.
But in Wang Zhen's heart, it was Feisal who paid for it, and he asked Jin Mao to find arms channels for this guy.
The first batch of arms could not be used. "I think back then, my team had just opened, and there were only a dozen people and seven or eight guns..."
Wang Zhen was not worried about whether Golden Retriever could find arms channels. The more than 200 kilograms of bullets he brought with him when he came here were all sold to arms dealers here.
Besides, Faisal's mission is to protect people under the building. There is a high probability that the military will not object to supporting him in establishing an armed force. If so, they may be able to get another sum of money from it.
Well, you can’t use picking, this is called military cooperation!
For a long time, neither of them spoke, and it was Wang Zhen who spoke first, "Can you get some help from your hometown?"
Feisal thought for a while and nodded, "It should be no problem."
"I mean the kind of people who have held guns. The Iraqi army demobilized more than 1 million people, and a large number of people were deported to various places. It is easy to find such people for training." Wang Zhen added.
There is a reason why so many local armed forces emerged in Iraq after the war. Millions of people armed with guns and eating public food were suddenly demobilized. How can they survive?
People in the Song Dynasty knew not to do it, and they didn't know what the U.S. government thought. This was the disadvantage of having no historical background.
"That's right!" Faisal slapped his thigh excitedly, "I'll arrange for someone to go back and look for him right now!"
As he said this, he was about to grab the phone, but was stopped by Wang Zhen, "If you ask me to go back and look for you, who will they listen to?"
Faisal reacted immediately and nodded heavily, "Then let's go back."
"Don't worry, I still need the company to explain the situation." Wang Zhen said with a smile.
When these words reached Feisal's ears, they became "I want to tell the government about the situation." "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
After the discussion, Wang Zhen got up and went out.
…
"Ah? Support Faisal's establishment of armed forces?" Golden Retriever scratched his head, completely confused about the current situation.
We just took on a three-month protection mission, why did so many changes suddenly happen?
It's about dividing political donations and forming an armed force. Are you sure this is a task given by the Gujiao Building?
Not to mention golden retrievers, bayonets and shovels are not understood by many people.
Wang Zhen understood their reactions as soon as he saw them, so he explained: "The protection mission is still a month and a half away. We have encountered so many attacks now, and it will only become more and more dangerous in the future. I don't want to suddenly have fewer people in the team one day."
one person."
Wang Zhen silenced several people with just one sentence, you donkey, you are so stupid... you are so miserable!
"He has his own team. If we cooperate, it will be much easier. Besides, if you operate well, you can still make a fortune!"
"Can we still make money?" Shovel's eyes widened, with disbelief written all over his face.
In the past, his tasks were only wages and commissions. Recently, Wang Zhen has been operating various operations, extracting money from middlemen, squeezing money from drug criminals, and sharing political donations. These various incomes have given him a feeling of opening up a new world.
Instead, the task became a small task.
"Of course you can make money!" Wang Zhen chuckled, pulled up a chair and sat down, crossed his legs, put his arms on the back of the chair, raised his head high, and looked proud.
"The gentry pays to suppress the bandits... Ahem, if Faisal raises a 'legal' armed force, at least his status among the Arabs in Salahuddin Province will soar, and he will be eligible to share profits in many places.
Even if he makes a profit, his status among the more than 300 congressmen will not be the same, and more people will be willing to support him."
"We helped build his armed forces. Do you want to charge for it?"
"Besides, if you're ready to arm yourself, do you want to train? Who will you train with? Do you need to spend money?"
"Where did the early arms come from? We helped find channels. Arms, your hands are full of oil when you touch them!"
"I won't say more, it's too much!" Wang Zhen shook his head, looking a little regretful.
"Is there more?" Bayonet asked with an exaggerated expression.
"There are many people and many guns. Isn't it natural to control an oil field in Iraq?" Wang Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "Even if it is cooperation."
The expressions of the Golden Retrievers kept changing from shock to speechlessness, and from jealousy to regret.
After staying in Iraq for several years, I have seen too many such things. If an oil field wants to produce safely, there must be armed forces involved, and there is a high probability that they are local forces.
Some people say that the US military fought in Iraq because of oil. Oil breeds mold. I won’t comment on whether it is right or wrong.
But from the 2003 war until January 25, 2010, ExxonMobil and Shell signed an agreement with the Iraqi Ministry of Petroleum to jointly develop the second largest oil field, the West Qurna-1 oil field. This was the first time a consortium led by an American company
Allowed to develop Iraqi oil blocks.
What’s even more interesting is that on January 21, 2013, the US “Bloomberg Business Weekly” reported that ExxonMobil was seeking a buyer for its stake in the West Qurnai-1 oil field project, with a purchase price of up to US$50 billion.
, and the name of this buyer is PetroChina.
While Donkey was in the hospital, Wang Zhen thought he had nothing to do so he checked all kinds of messy information on the Internet. He discovered an interesting thing. After the Iraq War, bilateral trade between China and Iraq developed from 517 million U.S. dollars in 2002 before the war to after the war.
$17.5 billion at the end of 2012.
China is more or less present in a large number of oil fields in Iraq.
Why does this happen?
Because large oil companies such as the United States and the United Kingdom hate trouble very much, and Iraq's chaotic security and warlords are the biggest trouble. Once an attack occurs, the stock price will fluctuate, not to mention if an American employee dies...
Therefore, they are unwilling to touch this kind of trouble, but Huaxia Company's biggest concern has never been economic benefits.
Of course, the people who benefit the most from Iraq’s oil interests are not China, but people like Green Booker.
