Chapter 2584 Matthew's Difficulties

"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't have any opportunities for further studies. No one will allow you to leave your work for a few years to study in China. In fact, there are many opportunities to study in life. When you go back, I will send you some books that you can take with you. Go back and see, if it doesn’t work, I can donate to Kabul University to build a library and related books.” In fact, if Jahril came to China to study, Chen Kangjie didn’t know whether anyone would object or not let him go. At least he didn't know whether Matthew would agree.

However, at least from Chen Kangjie's point of view, he is subjectively reluctant.For those who have entered the official career, especially in the country that has just experienced the war, everything is not stable. If Jahril gives up his current position and leaves, he will either not be able to return, or his career will be better in the future. Both situations exist.

One radish and one hole, this is not only the case in China, it is also the case outside.

In addition, there is another situation, that is, the biggest force in Afghanistan is not the government led by Matthew, but the United States, which has a huge military force.

The five legions stationed by the United States in five places in Afghanistan are equivalent to mastering the national defense and security of the entire country. As for the security forces formed by the new government, to be honest, they serve as a coordinating role for the US military. Their equipment and Compared with the US military, its combat effectiveness is much worse, that is, it plays a role similar to that of the police.

If Jahril openly goes to China to study, there is no guarantee that he will not be suppressed after he returns.Judging from the current situation, the US military has no plans to withdraw in a short time.As long as the U.S. military does not withdraw for a day, it will be difficult for the Afghan people to fully control their own destiny.

The United States managed to turn Albania into a wedge for them to drive into Central Asia. How could it be possible for a person who is clearly inclined to be in a high position?There is no problem for Jahril to keep his current position, but it will be difficult to go further. At this stage, it is estimated that Matthew De's death insurance may not be effective.

From a strategic point of view, if the United States has no intention of targeting China at all in its layout here, I am afraid no one will believe it.Even if the relationship between Chen Kangjie and George Bush is good, George Bush will respect the military's will to a certain extent on such issues related to the overall strategic situation.

Therefore, in the long run, it is better for Matthew not to come to China to study for the time being.After the U.S. troops withdraw, they can do whatever they want.

"Long, are you really willing to donate a library to Kabul University? Is this your promise?" Jahril looked surprised.

"It can be regarded as my promise." Chen Kangjie nodded solemnly.

"Then I will report on the phone with President Mathews tomorrow. After years of turmoil, Kabul University has been dilapidated. Although after the establishment of the new government, the enrollment of Kabul University has resumed, and many schools have also resumed construction. But to be honest, in a short time I can’t slow it down at all. It’s really hard for me to walk away now, the whole country of Ah is waiting to be rebuilt, and the reconstruction after the war has a long way to go.” Jalil was very happy, and he got a library after meeting Chen Kangjie, which shows that he The work is still very effective.

Jaliel's happiness also lies in the importance Chen Kangjie attaches to him. If it were someone else, he might not be treated like this.

"It's not easy to rebuild a country that has gone through years of war. The biggest difficulty you are facing now should be the lack of funds. Didn't the United States agree to help you rebuild?" Putting yourself in his shoes, Chen Kangjie can understand Matthew's difficulties , and also understand Jahril's mood.

"The United States invests a lot of money in Afghanistan every year, but it is difficult to benefit the people's livelihood. More than half of their military expenditures alone go to help the new government prepare security forces, military uniforms, weapons and ammunition, vehicles and equipment, etc. Money It’s all spent on this aspect. The government’s normal operating expenses are stretched, and the government has no money to invest in the construction field. The years of the theologian’s rule have not only destroyed the education and culture of the entire country as a whole, but also the national economy. The world was destroyed by it, there was almost no industry, and commercial recovery had just begun, and the infrastructure remained unchanged except for some government offices that were simply repaired." Jahril said heavily.

"So the purpose of your foreign minister's visit to China this time is to seek assistance?" Chen Kangjie nodded.

Chen Kangjie is no stranger to the current situation in A country. Don’t forget that he also has someone there, and he has contacted Jaliel more than once. Coupled with the reports of the news media, Chen Kangjie still has a grasp of the local situation to a certain extent. of.

"Yes, the new government hopes that China can help us. Although the new government has been established, in order to gain the sincere support of the people, it must help them rebuild their homes. Our schools, roads, houses, electricity, water conservancy and other various On the one hand, the facilities are seriously damaged. If these conditions are not improved, it will be difficult for people’s livelihood to be restored. If people’s livelihood cannot be improved, the government will lose the support of the people after a long time. President Matthew not only hopes to get aid and support from China, but also We plan to seek help from the European Union and other countries in Asia."

"Hehe, your President Matthew didn't forget me, so he specially put you in to find me." Chen Kangjie said with a chuckle.

Jahril nodded frankly: "That's true. Before leaving, the president specifically told me that he hoped that I could explain our difficulties after meeting you. He really hoped that you would see our friendship and give me Our new government will help within its capacity. The less money the government has, the more it relies on the Americans. Although President Matthews has a very close cooperative relationship with the Americans, it is not only because the huge US military is still stationed there, but also because of us With no money in hand, it is difficult to move an inch, and the salaries of government departments have to rely on American assistance to maintain."

"The core point is that President Matthew may still hope that the U.S. military can continue to help him maintain the regime and continue to pursue the remnants of the theologians. Perhaps your security forces now listen more to the U.S. military than to the government." Chen Kangjie It is impossible for the wisdom of man not to see even this.

"Indeed, the military expenditures are all in the hands of the Americans. Although we have tens of thousands of security forces in name, as you said, except for the presidential guard and some security forces stationed in the capital, the rest are indeed more It is to listen to the deployment of the US military. In the final analysis, the new government has no money.” As the deputy director of the President’s Office, it is impossible for Jahril to feel unfamiliar with these inside stories.

Jahleel would not be surprised that Chen Kangjie could see this. When reporting to Chen Kangjie before, Jahleel also vaguely involved it on the phone.

Objectively speaking, the new Afghan government led by Matthew is still very fragile. If it were not for the support of the US military, they might not even be able to defeat the theologians armed with extremist ideology. At this stage, the Americans may say that they are willing to withdraw their troops, Matthew Germany may not want to.If it is not done well, the U.S. military will withdraw, and Matthew's regime will collapse.

To maintain a regime, both military power and financial power are indispensable, but now Matthew lacks these two aspects. He cannot fully control the newly formed security force, and he does not have enough money and food in his hands.Otherwise, Matthew would not have sent his foreign minister to seek alms.

"How much assistance does your foreign minister plan to seek in China this time?" Chen Kangjie asked.

This question was a secret to others, but it was nothing to Chen Kangjie.

"One billion dollars, I hope to get the support of one billion dollars from the Chinese government." Jahril replied.

"cash?"

"No, it is impossible for China to give us such a large amount of cash. The minister told me that part of it should be an interest-free loan, and part should be related materials, such as food, office equipment, communication equipment, power generation equipment, etc. "

"If this is the case, then there is a high possibility that he will be satisfied." Chen Kangjie judged.

As a neighboring country, it is impossible for China to completely ignore the interests and existence of that side.And to maintain a certain degree of influence over there, support and assistance to the new government are the best means.

In any case, the new government led by Matthew De is now generally recognized by the international community as a legitimate government representing the country of Afghanistan. The top leaders of China should be happy to deal with such a government.

However, the final result made Chen Kangjie's judgment a bit biased. The central government led by Zhao Zhibang did not agree to the loan request from Algeria, and many materials were also cut off. Government buildings, while providing part of the police equipment and police training.

It has to be said that the central government’s considerations are more comprehensive. Whether it is the construction of hydropower stations, the construction of government buildings, or the training of the police, it is easy to be branded with the imprint of China, so that the local people will remember the goodness of China.

If it is to provide loans and materials, it is only useful to the government, and the common people may not know what China has done for them.You must know that the local propaganda force is very weak, not to mention the Internet, even the normal radio and TV signals, except for some big cities, it is difficult to maintain normal.

All along, even if we do good deeds, we also hope that the good deeds we do will have the desired effect, especially for the public.A hydropower station marked with the brand of China will stand there for at least 50 years, and the government buildings built will exist for at least decades. The emotional bonds formed by them will also exist and last for decades. This is a one-time Sexual material is hard to come by.

"As for me, I will give you 1000 million US dollars when you leave. President Matthew De should be in need of cash right now. However, if President Matthew De wants to reverse the difficult financial situation and economic development situation, he has to start with industrial policy That's all right." Since Matthew specifically asked Jaliel to come to him, Chen Kangjie has to express it to some extent, but he can't appear too generous, which is not conducive to the further layout in the future.
