Owen's voice was not loud, but it seemed to have huge power at this moment.
Li Songci lightly covered his mouth with one hand, with horror in his eyes.
Li Jin's expression remained normal, but his heart was also filled with turmoil.
At first glance, this meeting was dominated by foreigners like Irving. Plutocrats like Solander who could influence the economic situation of Iraq could only sit at the bottom of the table.
In fact, this meeting did not leave a seat for any local Iraqi officials, which is of intriguing significance.
Doesn't this mean that the current local government officials in Iraq have long been excluded from the interest circle and have no qualifications to participate at all? Then their original status is very suspicious.
The most critical thing is that this meeting dominated by foreigners actually threatened to decide the fate of Iraq. How arrogant!
Although Iraq is only a small country, it possesses one-tenth of the world's black gold content. It can be described as an energy powerhouse. It also once boasted the strongest military force in the Middle East, as can be seen from the mercenaries scattered throughout the country.
No matter from which perspective, Iraq should not be a weak and small country.
However, this is the kind of country we are now, and now it is time to rely on a few foreigners to decide our destiny.
All this is because everything Iraq has now, except energy, was not obtained by itself, and the key to all technologies is in the hands of other countries.
Even the weapons they are proud of in their army are provided by foreign countries. Who knows if there are any backdoors installed in them. It is fine during normal times, but it will be very fatal in times of war.
This is the fate of a small country with no resources but no power!
In just a moment, Li Jin's mind went through thousands of thoughts.
"We must let China completely get rid of its dependence on other countries, whether it is technology or energy!"
Li Jin was even more determined in his original plan.
Not to mention what Li Jin and Li Song Ci thought, the meeting was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
The representatives attending the meeting politely put forward their proposals, and others also expressed their opinions.
Everything was so harmonious and civilized, as if a group of gentlemen were discussing what to eat for dinner, but the staple food they were talking about at the moment was the country of Iraq!
Act like a bandit in a polite manner!
"Fortunately, today's China is not about food, and we even have the opportunity to participate in it."
Li Jin thought to himself.
During the meeting, other representatives made suggestions and discussions, and Li Jin did not participate in the speech from beginning to end.
The fact that the Chinese representatives joined this conference was an accident in itself, something that was beyond the original plan of the conference organizers.
If it hadn't been for Li Jin's strong performance just now, which made everyone realize that China might be a x factor, even Li Jin would not have been invited.
So now Li Jin is more involved as a witness.
However, this is actually more of the personal thoughts of the conference organizers represented by Owen, and Li Jin has his own ideas.
If he just stopped here, all his previous plans would be meaningless.
At this time, a questioning voice appeared at the venue, and Li Jin became interested.
"I'm sorry, everyone, there is one thing I don't quite understand. We can indeed negotiate a protection agreement for the current forces. We also have this ability."
"But how can we ensure that the United States will not raise objections? After all, we obviously cannot invest as many troops as the United States does. We rely more on diplomatic influence."
"But at the same time, outside of open war, there is actually very little space for diplomatic influence to be manipulated."
Hearing this, Li Jin raised a smile, the main show was coming!
