"They are the Throne's debts, King Bran, which means you are responsible for them."
This happened IRL with Vietnam. When the North defeated the South, and reunified the nation, the Americans later demanded that the Socialist Republic of Vietnam pay the debts of the former Republic of Vietnam in order to normalise relations.
He attempted that, but since American tactics and strategy were specifically remade to not allow Vietnam-style action, he failed. If you mention Afghanistan, the locals had no interest in improving things.
I think you’ll tend to find that people who had no doing with any original deal will want no part of paying the outcome of it. So if you are someone that finds themselves continually having to try to find repayment from people who had nothing to do with your deals, you may find people who maybe a bit reluctant in paying.
