Chapter 747: Acting as a mediator in the Anglo-Argentine Island issue!

There are no secrets at all in the international arms market.

Because in the eyes of the arms dealers, they have always only recognized money, and they don't care about morality or immorality.

Therefore, as long as the intelligence agencies of various countries are willing to spend money, they can easily obtain all kinds of information they want from the kind of intelligence donors who are active in the international arms trade market.

According to the latest MI5 statistical report, in the past three years, the share of various light and heavy weapons and equipment and supporting ammunition manufactured in the former North Burma has become larger and larger in the international arms market.

Especially in the Middle East, OUCC manufacturing has basically replaced Huaxia manufacturing.

After the Iranian Air Force introduced foreign trade Jian-14 complete aircraft, engines, and other related parts from China, it once overwhelmed the Iraqi Air Force without any ability to parry.

Soon, however, Iraq reached a package military trade agreement with the former government of North Burma, ordering a batch of FC-1 Thunder, FBC-1 Flying Leopard, and F-10 Roc Bird, and quickly regained its air inferiority.

By the end of July 1985, with Yang Weiping's approval, the former government of North Burma had provided Iraq with a total of 120 FC-1s, 60 FBC-1s, 30 F-10s, 10,300 Tiger I medium main battle tanks, and 100 TK85 heavy main battle tanks. In addition, a large number of TK82 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, TK84 self-propelled artillery, Zhijiu general-purpose helicopters, Wuzhi-10 armed helicopters and other weapons and equipment and related supporting ammunition, the total transaction volume reached nearly 50 billion Asian dollars, which is converted into nearly 10 billion US dollars.

It was precisely because Iraq had such a large number of advanced weapons and equipment in its hands that Saddam Hussein quickly blitzed Kuwait after the armistice between Iraq and Iraq, led to the outbreak of the Gulf War, and caused the US, British, French, and other multinational coalition forces participating in the war to suffer enough in Iraq. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Unlike the blatant arms sales in the Middle East, the various types of arms and weapons exported by the Oriental Union to Argentina are much more low-key and secretive. Basically, it is all through guò different international arms traffickers who change hands. Rather than dealing directly with the Argentine government. And in terms of the total amount of transactions, it is far less than that of Iraq, which is about $1 billion.

From the standpoint of the British Government, even if your Eastern Federal Government sells only $10 in arms to the Argentinians, it will hurt the British Government and people, not to mention such a huge order with a total amount of nearly $1 billion.

Although it is said that OUEC is not to blame for the British defeat in the Falklands. Compared with the arms deal provided by China to Argentina, the billion dollars of OUCC are not enough to mention. However, it is a fact that such behavior of the Eastern Union has caused mental and physical harm to the British government, military and people.

As Yang Weiping just said, it is true that there are only eternal interests between countries. The so-called friendship pales in the face of national interests.

Mrs. Thatcher knew very well in her heart that the purpose of the Eastern Union's arms sales to Argentina was not to target Britain, but that Yang Weiping wanted to win over South American countries. A gesture of goodwill for the interests of OUCC in South America.

As far as the Latin American countries that were once European colonies are concerned, all European countries are aggressors with other intentions, and Latin America is the Latin America of Latin American countries, and any European country that attempts to invade Latin America is the common enemy of Latin American countries and peoples.

I have to say that Margaret Thatcher didn't expect that the empire on which the sun never set would be so weak that even Argentina, a third-rate country, could not be settled. So much so that England's watch in the Falklands became the laughing stock of the whole world.

It is true that China and the Eastern Union continue to send all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment to Argentina, but Margaret Thatcher knows that this is not the most important thing.

The main thing is the strong will to resist that the Argentines expressed.

That is, Huaxia and OUC do not sell arms to Argentina. There are other developed countries in this world that will sell, such as. That proud Gallic rooster.

As the French wanted to dominate the EAF plan, they were unanimously opposed by Britain and West Germany and withdrew from the EAF plan, which came to a standstill. For this reason, Margaret Thatcher had to pull down her face and ask Yang Weiping for help.

Yang Weiping promised to help at the time, but this little slippery head has not seen any actual action for so long.

He promised that whenever the person in charge of the EAF project came to Mandalay, he would take the time to discuss and come up with a practical proposal with the designers of the EAF design team. But. The chief designer of the EAF project stayed in Mandalay for almost a month, but he didn't even see Yang Weiping's people. I don't know if he is really too busy every day, or has the heart to hide from him.

The Harrier's poor performance in the Falklands War made the British government and military ruthless to develop an advanced fighter to ensure the status of the British Empire as a great power.

The Eastern Union J-15 fighter showed excellent performance in the "Jack Wieson Incident". It also strengthened Margaret Thatcher's determination to ask Führer Yang to personally guide the EAF plan.

In fact, from the very beginning, Margaret Thatcher never thought that Yang Weiping would agree to her proposal to form a joint fleet of East Britain to expedition to the Falklands. She had long understood Yang Weiping's various layouts on all continents of the world. Yang Weiping obviously would not ignore the national interests of the Eastern Union because of his personal friendship with Britain.

The reason why she wanted to throw out this mention first was that Mrs. Thatcher was waiting for Yang Weiping to refuse, and then when he felt a little sorry for the guilt and apology, she threw out the ultimate goal of EAF.

"Yang, are you really not thinking about it anymore?" Mrs. Thatcher looked very disappointed and looked at Yang Weiping with a sad look in her eyes, and asked with a sigh, "Don't you want our young men to shed less blood in the Falklands at all?"

"Ahem!" Yang Weiping clenched his fists and gagged his mouth with his fists and coughed lightly, don't turn his head and didn't dare to look at the iron lady's sad blue eyes, after a while, Fang turned his head and said apologetically: "Madam, I also very much hope that the British boys can reduce the casualties.

However, if the Eastern Union Navy and your navy form a joint fleet to bully a developing country in the third world, even if I, Yang Weiping, nod, the cabinet will not be able to get through. Look, madam, if that's not the case, let's do it another way, okay?"

"What more effective way could there be than to form a combined fleet of East Britain and Great Britain?" said Margaret Thatcher with a long sigh on her back, "Why don't you lend a batch of your Jian-15 to our navy?"

"Haha, madam, the weather in Blair is really good!" Yang Weiping said with a haha.

"But the weather in London is terrible now!" said Margaret Thatcher with a stern face.

"Perhaps, we can come forward and try to mediate the conflict between your country and Argentina. Yang Weiping didn't joke anymore, and said seriously: "I can even bring Huaxia in to act as a mediator." I think that the Argentine government should give me Yang someone this face, depending on whether your country gives it or not. ”

"How are you going to mediate?" asked Thatcher very seriously.

"I believe that it is only by bringing the Falkland Islanders, the British Government and the Argentine Government together and through consultation that it will be possible to find a solution to the Falkland Islands question and to finally settle the Falkland Islands dispute. Yang Weiping said solemnly: "War is definitely not the best means to solve problems. ”

Obviously, in order to take care of Margaret Thatcher's love and face, Yang Weiping deliberately said that the Malvinas Islands were the Falkland Islands officially called by the British.

Historically, the Anglo-Argentine Falklands War was fought by the US Government and forced the defeated Argentina to sit down at the negotiating table. In doing so, on the one hand, at the request of the British Government, the US imperialists also wanted to take this opportunity to repair US-Latin American relations, which had suffered civilian damage as a result of the Falklands War.

Now that Margaret Thatcher has taken the initiative to come to the door and wants to solve the Anglo-Argentine war, Yang Weiping will naturally not miss this opportunity to disgust and disgust the US imperialists.

In Yang Weiping's view, if Huaxia and the Eastern Union can come forward together to persuade the Argentine government to temporarily cease fire and sit down for negotiations, the possibility is quite large.

Mrs. Thatcher was silent for a moment, and after about half a minute or so, Fang raised her head, looked at Yang Weiping with a solemn expression and said: "Yang, I can give you this face, but Britain needs an advanced fighter in the true sense of the word to defend England's territorial waters and airspace!"

Yang Weiping looked deeply at the iron lady's firm and strict blue eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Damn! Dare to love this Iron Lady in front of me is waiting for my brother here!

Yang Weiping now understands that Margaret Thatcher has said so much before, and her ultimate intention is this: EAF plan!

"I thought something was going on!" Yang Weiping smiled in a good mood: "Madam, I really don't dare to guarantee the ticket if I want to talk about other things, but if I want to give you some ideas for your EAF plan, I think I still have the qualifications." ”

"You told me that not long ago. Margaret Thatcher said seriously: "However, the chief designer of the EAF project and the relevant personnel of the project team have been in Mandalay for almost a month, and I have not seen you meet them. ”

"Hehe, madam, I don't have a lot of things!" Yang Weiping raised his hand a little embarrassed and touched the short hair on his head, and said with a smile: "This stall is bigger, and there are many things." Madame is also a busy person, so it should be understandable, right?"

"I can understand you, but who understands me?" said Thatcher with a long sigh and a wry smile.

"So, ma'am, while I have a few days to go to China to visit Wèn, you can arrange that I will take the time to sit down and have a conversation with the designers of the EAF project. Yang Weiping said very seriously: "I promise you, I will let the EAF plan come up with a world-class advanced fighter!" (To be continued...... I1292
