I want to be a warlord

Chapter 334 John: I Know Someone
Ais Ais, also known as the country of Iraq, has three major forces on the Iraqi side, concentrated in Nineveh Province and Mosul.

The reason why they are all concentrated here is because the oil resources are the most abundant here.

This is also the reason why its offensive direction has always been in Erbil and Kirkuk. These two places not only produce huge amounts of oil, but are also the only remaining industrial cities in Iraq.

Of course, that's what happens in this industry...

Jonah is just one of them.

But now, Jonah has jumped out of this cage, feeling a little bit like a dragon in a changing situation!
This made the other two terrorist forces Khorsabad and Nimruz very uncomfortable.

After all, the first to Baghdad is king.

There is also another layer of meaning in this. If you can enter Baghdad first, you must be the most powerful.

Although the current Jonah faction has not entered Baghdad, if this continues, who knows what it will develop into.

There is no hurry for the other two major forces.

Urgent, then there must be action. Baghdad has just calmed down for a while, and the situation in the northern Erbil defense line has changed suddenly. The two terrorist factions have suddenly increased their attack on the Erbil defense line.

In other words, why are terrorists driving away as soon as they charge in other cities, but they are blocked when they arrive in Erbil?

what's the difference?
The reason is that Erbil is all Kurds!

The Kurds and Ais are both Sunnis. It seems that there is no contradiction, and they should be allies, but the problem is that Ais wants to build an Iraqi country, and the Kurds also want to build a country.

With such a large piece of land, there is no other way, let's fight!
Therefore, the Kurds became the first main force to stop Aisisi.

Along Iraq and northern Syria, the Kurds are fighting with Ais Ais.

For Jonah, this is good news. Originally, because of their siege of Baghdad, the Iraqi government increased the price of mercenaries, which led to a large number of mercenaries pouring into Baghdad to prepare to fight terrorists.

But now that the war in Erbil is tense, the Kurds have also raised their prices. Such a roll on both sides has caused many mercenaries to leave Baghdad again.

This relieved a lot of the pressure on Jonah's side.

……

Baghdad, the US embassy, ​​Secretary of State John Kerry invited all important US figures in Baghdad.

Among them is Wang Zhen's old friend, the head of the CIA, John Gaskell.

It also includes people from the military, the commander in Iraq, the major general and division commander, Alvin Bevin.

At the beginning of the meeting, John Kerry began to complain, "The stupidity of the Iraqis has exceeded my imagination..."

"The solution is given to them. Build a water pipeline from Lake Ruzazai to connect the three provincial capitals of Karbala, Shira, and Najaf to stabilize the three major cities. But when I asked them when they will be able to build it, They actually told me, one month!"

"Oh my God!" John Kerry held his head, his face full of lovelessness, "One month, how did they say that, so what's the point of doing it, go water those mummy corpses!"

"Sir, if you spend more time in Iraq, then you know that they have tried their best. I was surprised to hear that it was a month, because this is beyond my understanding of their work efficiency." John said with a smile .

"Is this Africa?" John Kerry rubbed his head.

"No, it takes a year in Africa, and it may not be completed." John added.

John Kerry was speechless, incomprehensible, and shocked.

"Guys, you know this place better, can you tell me how to get this done in the shortest possible time?" John Kerry sighed, "I don't want to stay in this damn place for a day."

The office fell into silence, and no one spoke.

If you want to say who has the strongest construction ability in Iraq, everyone is, including John Kerry himself. It was just a performance before!
However, this answer, he wants other people to say it. After all, it is shameful to ask the Chinese for help in the troubles of the Americans.

Moreover, it would be a waste of time to deal with specific incidents, and he didn't want to be stuck here.

The American ambassador looked at John and Alvin Bevin, smiled and closed his mouth.

Alvin Bevin and John looked at each other, and John sighed.

Damn it, it finally fell to him.

In the matter of Hardy Sai, John stepped in and complied with the regulations, but it was a bit offending.

Now, it's time for him to pay back.

"Ahem, I have someone to recommend." John said softly.

"Is, a, person?" John Kerry blinked, "Not a company?"

"At present, there are several companies in Iraq that are capable of constructing such projects in a short period of time, but we have not had much contact with them. It may be too late to negotiate now." John said.

Kerry nodded. This means that even the United States has to pay attention to public relations.

"Did the person you mentioned engage in any big project?" Kerry didn't ask who it was, it didn't matter.

"Hadi Sai's base is the construction project he undertook." When John said, he turned his head slightly.

Kerry's expression was a little stiff, and it took him a long time to ask: "Chinese company? American military base?"

"Yes, Hujian Group, Huashide Power Station is built by them, the level must be no problem."

Kerry took a deep look at John, then at the other two, "Okay, let's go."

Abroad is not domestic after all, understand.

Turning around, he took out a contract from his briefcase and handed it to John, "You can handle this."

Obviously, Kerry has long been prepared.

"That's not necessary. I think it's better to find a company in the United States to contract and explain to the country. Here, let them sign the contract in private." John pushed the contract back.

Kerry frowned, looked at the other two, saw them nodding to him with a smile, and then smiled and took back the contract.

No matter who he finds to sign this contract, the other party has to thank him well, of course Kerry is happy.

Not to mention, these people who work abroad are a bit out of bounds, but they still know the rules.

After thinking about it, Kerry said again: "Since this gentleman is so capable, then there is another project."

"In any case, the river must flow back. It is not only a water problem, but also related to the ecological balance and environmental protection downstream. Therefore, the river must be dredged as soon as possible."

"Do you think they can do this?" Kerry looked at John.

John nodded without hesitation.

Huaguo has been contracting projects in Iraq since 1979, and has undertaken many projects, such as roads, bridges, agricultural irrigation facilities, dams, chemical plants, and textile factories.

In order to prove that the war with Iran would not affect the economy, Silly Damu found Huaguo in 80 and built the Mosul Dam.

In recent years, due to the relationship with the United States, it has been difficult for Huaguo to receive first-hand construction projects from Iraq, but the subcontractor is still Huaguo.

Yes, what Wang Zhen broke through was just the military-civilian boundary. In fact, the folks have been playing like this for a long time.

For example, for the river dredging, the project evaluation given by experts is a huge workload. No matter what company you contract, you have to transport machinery from the United States, and there are a lot of technical talents. Regardless of the time, the cost is daunting.

But after winning the contract, it is another matter to outsource it to the Chinese.

The Chinese don't have any machinery here, and people are abundant and cheap...

If you subcontract, you earn more than doing it yourself, why not subcontract?

Just like in the 90s, since the ones we bought were cheap and easy to use, why should we spend more money and develop worse products?
It is better to rent than build...

"I'll talk to him. It's not about the engineering, it's about the price..." John said with a smile.

"Don't worry about that." Kerry reciprocated, giving John a reassuring look.

Several people looked at each other and laughed.

You see, this is not your own person.

……

More than two hours later, John's helicopter landed on the playground at the Balwanai base.

"Water pipeline, this is very simple." Wang Zhen said with a smile: "I just mentioned to the Hujian Group that they will help me build a water pipeline and a water plant, let alone out of humanity. In the spirit of humanitarian rescue, there is no need to ask about this matter, I agreed for them."

This kind of project is of great significance, and it is very suitable to be included in the promotional materials. For Lao Liu and the others, the consideration is not how much money they make, but political achievements!
He was sure that Old Liu would definitely agree.

"However, you know how dangerous it is over there now, we can't let people contribute and make money, right?"

"240 kilometers of main pipeline, 160 kilometers of sub-pipelines, a total of 400 kilometers, the price is 1.2 million US dollars." John said.

Wang Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and raised his hand to pick out his ears. He felt that he might have heard wrong.

The price given by Mr. Liu of Hujian Group was 100 million RMB per kilometer, with steel pipes on the ground, including segmental booster pump stations.

2 times the difference!

"1.2 million, yes, I'll take it!" Wang Zhen waved his hand.

"Dude, it's the total contract price." John pressed Wang Zhen's hand dumbfoundingly.

"You're kidding me, with 1.2 million you can find someone to do this project in the United States!" Wang Zhen shook his hand violently.

"So..." John spread his hands, "After all, it was Iraq who paid the money, and their funds are limited."

"Is Iraq rich?"

"Ahem, the United States paid in advance."

"(ˉ▽￣～)Cut~~" Wang Zhen curled his lips, "Say it straight, how much will it cost me?"

"7%." John gestured with his finger.

He, the major general, and the ambassador share [-]%, the Secretary of State gets [-]%, and the subcontractor company gets [-]%.

Wang Zhen frowned and thought for a while. He didn't know the specific cost, 100 million. I guess the price that Lao Liu gave him was not very profitable, and he had to take risks, [-]%, and he could only get half of it at most.

Half, $600 million, tears, less money.

Of course, that's what he said, but in fact, he has to contribute. It's so dangerous there, why should he send 200 people to protect the construction safety?

Although it is a militia, it is also trained by myself!

"By the way, do you have any news over there? How is the situation in the south? I heard that there is chaos." Wang Zhen asked after finishing the business.

"That's not important, what's important is the next thing, and there's a project..."
