Chapter 507: The Invisible Storm

Compared with the spring flowers in the northern hemisphere, the wind and sunshine are beautiful, the southern hemisphere at this time is in the turn of autumn and winter, and the cold air from Antarctica continues to invade the South American continent, causing the entire South American continent to be in a sad feeling of autumn wind, especially the southernmost point of South America, Argentina's Tierra del Fuego, because of its proximity to Antarctica, so this feeling is even stronger

Lu Jiadong and Xu Yuanchao had just stepped out of the cabin, and a gust of cold wind blew in front of them, which made both of them shrink their necks in unison, but fortunately, they had prepared enough thick clothes in advance, so they didn't feel anything after getting used to it a little

"Haha~~ Hello, Mr. Lu, welcome to the beautiful Rio Grande!" Just walked down the suspension ladder, General Messi's aide-de-camp, Air Force Captain Riquelme, wearing a brand-new Argentine Air Force uniform, walked over quickly to Lu Jiadong, with a warm smile unique to Argentines, stretched out his hand to Lu Jiadong, and greeted him:

"We thought you would be a few days late, but we didn't expect to be here so soon!"

"It's not too fast!" Lu Jiadong also stretched out his hand and shook it with Riquelme's outstretched hand: "If it hadn't been delayed in New York for two days, it would have arrived a long time ago!"

"I didn't expect the British Parliament to unanimously pass a motion to declare war, and the United States, tracing back to the source or protecting the Anglo-Saxons like them, hey~~~ It's a pity that Mr. Blomberg can't come, but fortunately, the arms he promised arrived safely before the 5th, which can be regarded as a solution to our urgent need in Argentina.

But then again, if it weren't for Mr. Lu, you were right at the time. We can't do things so well, so you're not just General Messi and my friend. He is also a friend of the entire Argentine people, for whom General Messi has applied for President Galtieri to award you the Order of Free and Friendship of Argentina in recognition of your outstanding contribution to Argentina, Mr. Lu."

Riquelme is extremely talkative, and when he meets Lu Jiadong, he is even more eloquent, recalling the scene in Frankfurt for a while, and then switching to the origin of the Argentine Order of Freedom and Friendship. One moment he regretted that Blomberg could not come for some reason, and the other he began to criticize the Western countries led by Britain.

It's like a stream-of-consciousness novel of Latin American magical realism, and at first glance it doesn't sound like it's anything he's trying to say. Xu Yuanchao, who arrived with Lu Jiadong, and Hu Qinghua, Song Xiaoxu and others who came to the airport to pick up the airport were all a little drowsy, but Lu Jiadong, who witnessed everything, was able to understand the meaning of Riquelme's painting. That's what he did in Frankfurt, Germany. Especially for the French counterattack, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude.

You must know that the bombing of Schindler's Café on April 3 caused an uproar in Europe and even the entire Western world because of the injury of Consul General Nil Wool and the hype of the relevant media. The extremely weird setting, as well as the unspeakable behind-the-scenes secrets. As a result, Britain, France, and Germany soon fell into a fruitless Rashomon.

On the surface, the media of the three countries are clearly divided and criticize each other; in private, the governments of the three countries are fighting with each other and constantly talking about each other; secretly the intelligence agencies are kidnapping, threatening, and retaliating; as a result, the situation in which Europe is united in the context of the Falklands War has been completely shattered by a sudden Schindler's Café bombing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Jiadong and others quickly got out, and according to the pre-agreed plan, Messi returned to Argentina to receive equipment, while Lu Jiadong and Blomberg went to Haifa, Israel, to be responsible for dispatching personnel and weapons and equipment destined for Argentina.

As well as 20 C801 anti-ship missiles and a large number of supporting equipment and related technicians, they successively departed from China, stopped in Tehran, Iran, and came to Haifa, Israel, and from there, took a plane contracted by Blomberg in advance to Rio Grande in Argentina.

For two whole days, Blomberg flew more than 40 sorties in a row with seven Boeing 707 planes contracted and supported by Argentina, and transported most of the scheduled equipment and personnel to Argentina; just when everyone thought that Britain, France, and Germany would have to deal with the bombing for a while longer, news came from London, England, on April 5, that the Thatcher government, in order to deal with the Falklands war with all its might, made major concessions to France and Germany on the Schindler's Café bombing, in exchange for the support of France and Germany for Britain.

On the afternoon of the same day, the British Parliament passed the Thatcher government's resolution to "send a fleet to the South Atlantic to recover lost territory," thus completing the final legal procedures and formally declaring war on Argentina

Two days later, as agreed in advance, the French and German governments announced an arms embargo on Argentina at the same time, and at the same time, the United States also announced that mediation had failed, adopted a policy of neutrality, but secretly adopted a policy of supporting Britain, and issued a strict order again to the United States-owned arms companies not to sell any weapons and equipment to Argentina, but on April 8 transferred 100 AIM-9L "Sidewinder" air-to-air missiles to the United Kingdom

It was at this time that the last plane to Argentina that Lu Jiadong and Blomberg took arrived in New York, ready to stop here and then fly to Argentina, but the plane had already landed, and Blomberg and Lu Jiadong were taken away by people sent by Senator Charlie Wilson.

It didn't take long for the FBI of the United States, which rushed to the plane, to conduct an extremely detailed inspection of the plane, but fortunately, the plane was just a simple passenger plane, and the FBI did not find any signs of the transportation of weapons and equipment, so after two days of temporary detention, it was released from the customs, but this time. Blomberg received an unusually harsh warning that he could no longer travel to Argentina no matter what, so it could only be Lu Jiadong with his so-called assistant Xu Yuanchao. Board again and embark on the journey

"Mr. Lu, I think it is the first time you have come to Tierra del Fuego, let me tell you, the seafood here is very unique, and the dishes cooked are absolutely untasteable anywhere else in the world."

Riquelme still expresses his gratitude in his unique South American stream-of-consciousness style, and if it weren't for Lu Jiadong's scheme. And with just the right opportunity, Argentina will never be able to fill its arsenal cleaner than its face in a short period of time. Because of this, Lu Jiadong has also become one of the very few foreigners admired by Riquelme.

It's just that Lu Jiadong saw something something wrong from Riquelme's words and demeanor, especially Riquelme's eyes that glanced at him from time to time. There is always a kind of inexplicable regret and helplessness. Although Riquelme blamed Blomberg's failure to come, Lu Jiadong always felt that it was not as simple as Riquelme said:

"Is General Messi in Buenos Aires or in Rio Grande?"

Hearing Lu Jiadong suddenly ask about General Messi, Riquelme suddenly became vigilant, but the vigilance in his eyes was replaced by a brighter and more enthusiastic smile in the blink of an eye:

"Do you have something to do with the general?"

Although Riquelme's vigilance was fleeting, it still did not escape Lu Jiadong's sharp and shrewd eyes, but Lu Jiadong was obviously more experienced than Riquelme, and he did not show the slightest performance at all, but continued casually:

"Yes. I am asking to meet General Messi, after all, the C801 anti-ship missile is equipped with your country's 'Super Military Flag' attack aircraft. There's a lot to do, so I really need General Messi to give me some of the necessary help!"

"Oh, ahem, that's it!" Riquelme is obviously a person who is not very good at hiding, hearing Lu Jiadong's words, the words that had been gushing before suddenly became hesitant, although he used a cough to cover it up, but still exposed the panic in his heart:

"Ahem, the weather has changed too drastically recently, which makes me a little uncomfortable!" Riquelme continued his performance: "I will convey your request to General Messi as soon as possible, but the general has been very busy recently, so he may not meet you at the first time!"

"I know, thank you" Lu Jiadong didn't say anything, just nodded politely, and then opened the car door, just as he raised his leg to get into the car, Lu Jiadong suddenly turned his head and said apologetically to Riquelme:

"Oh, let my colleague take me the rest of the way!"

"Okay, just come to me if you need anything!" Riquelme replied, then closed the car door for Lu Jiadong

"Qinghua, what's going on these days? How do I look at Riquelme weirdly, it's completely different from what I saw in Frankfurt, and I always feel like I'm avoiding me!"

When the car drove out of Riquelme's line of sight, Lu Jiadong quickly straightened up and asked Hu Qinghua, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and Hu Qinghua turned his head, with a helpless sad look, and sighed long:

"Hey~~ Speaking of which, our missiles are still a little unsuitable, difficult to match with the Argentine aircraft, there is no solution until now, and now the Argentines who are about to fight have gradually lost trust in us, to be honest, Jiadong, compared to Frankfurt, the storm in the South Atlantic is not small, and it is an invisible storm that cannot be seen or touched"

The invisible storm in Hu Qinghua's mouth refers to the brewing above the heads of Chinese military workers, but in the conference room of the Rio Grande Air Base, the relentless storm has begun to erupt, and it is none other than Lieutenant General Messi, director of the General Directorate of Armament of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Argentina (to be continued). )
