860 Something More Valuable (2/2)

Without a lot of small talks, Bernard explained the intention of the visit.

”The La Jonah rebels have been annihilated. When is your party prepared to withdraw from Madagascar?”

From Bernard's cautious expression, Jiang Chen wanted to laugh but instead, he took a sip of the tea.

”You can, at any time, see when you plan to end their employment.”

Seeing Jiang Chen was easy to talk to, Bernard and his assistant all sighed in relief.

At present, Celestial Trade's Foreign Corps on Madagascar totaled 3,000, and there were also more than ten armored vehicles, tanks, and other military vehicles. It was no exaggeration to say that this 3,000-strong force completely surpassed the military power of Madagascar.

With a gunpowder barrel in the country, how could he not be worried as the president?

Before arriving, Bernard wondered how he would convince Jiang Chen if he did not plan to withdraw from Madagascar. But now it seemed that these concerns were extraneous.

But were the concerns extraneous?

What he did not notice was that Jiang Chen had a faint smile on his face.

”Then, before we withdraw, let's settle your debt.”

”Debt?” Bernard muttered.

”Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

Ayesha, who had previously left the living room, brought back a document.

After roughly glancing at the cover of the document, Jiang Chen rubbed Ayesha's head with a smile. The latter closed her eyes with happiness and left the living room again contentedly.

”The employment cost of Celestial Trade, as well as the previously delivered arms to your force, and the secret agreement signed on behalf of your party by the former President who suffered an unfortunate fate. All the expenses are on here. You can go through it first.”

Whether it was reorganizing the army or running for president, the amount of money spent was not a small sum. What's more, they didn't have a choice at the time, even though Jiang Chen's side was raising the price, they could only swallow and accept.

However, Bernard's brow was twitching when he saw the 11 billion US Dollar bill.

Madagascar's GDP was only around 10 billion US Dollar a year. Where could he find the money?

With the tightening fiscal, he wished to borrow from Future Bank.

”This agreement...”

”The signature is there. If you doubt it, you can test the fingerprint on it.” Jiang Chen smiled.

”We don't have much money at all.” His words didn't come out fluent at all.

However, he couldn't dare to say he was not repaying. Debt defaults would immediately make the already deteriorating investment environment immediately drop to freezing point. If a country could easy forfeit its debt burden, it would be completely isolated by international capital.

Bernard could not help but curse at the assassinated former president. However, cursing a dead person could not solve the problem of the alive.

”I didn't ask you to pay back the money immediately.” Jiang Chen looked at Bernard, who could not articulate at the moment, then he continued, ”Moreover, I'm more interested in more valuable things you have.”
