Chapter 908: Observing the Ship II
For a G20 member like Argentina, the third-largest economic entity in Latin America, billions of dollars is not a terrible number, and although you have some economic problems, you can still do it by gritting your teeth and compressing expenses.
But the minister was also very touched by Marcas's proposal, saying that if part of the cost could be paid for with minerals and agricultural products, it would indeed put much less financial pressure on the government, so that the military could receive more allocation.
In the mercenary corps, Marcas, a loyal admirer, is definitely the one who understands Wu Chen's mind the most, and his suggestion is not made casually, it is completely based on long-term strategic considerations, and he wants to win over Argentina as a customer and upgrade the relationship to a strategic partner.
First of all, as it stands, Africa is a fundamental part of the mercenary grand strategy, and for this it is again at all costs. In order to achieve this goal, food is a very critical link, to win the hearts of the people, we must first let the people have enough to eat, most countries in Africa have a food shortage, even if there is more food, it is not too much.
Argentina is a world-renowned food producer and exporter, and has the conditions for long-term cooperation, and the mercenary corps needs this kind of supplier who can provide low-cost food in large quantities. There is also meat, Argentina's beef is world-famous, mercenaries and the Golden Triangle Federation, the consumption of beef is quite terrifying.
Secondly, while the African strategy is being carried out, Wu Chen's second step strategy is South America, or Latin America, and now, Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina have military bases, which also represents the cooperation between the two sides, from the economic to the military.
Gradual and gradual encroachment is the current means of response, and if they want to confront a superpower like the United States, mercenaries need more strategic space. The reason for the political and military intervention in Mexico, the establishment of military bases and the appropriation of resources, is to create a direct threat in the future when it turns against the United States, and the same is true of Cuba's naval bases.
Isolating the United States is the best way to weaken the strength of the other side, and when the European independent defense system is established, and the power of the Golden Triangle Federal Organization for International Cooperation covers Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania, it is estimated that the only allies of the United States in the world are South Korea, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
"The Federal Government of the Golden Triangle firmly supports the reasonable actions of the Argentine Government to recover the territory of the Falklands, and we are friendly countries and partners with Argentina, and I approve the sale of sophisticated weapons and equipment to Argentina, and the order is drawn up in accordance with the request of Mr. Minister, and the payment is made in half in kind and half in cash."
"After the parade is over, you will come forward to sign a contract with the Argentine government on behalf of Haidongqing International Aerospace Group, and the production department will start work as soon as possible, and the Argentine military pilots can also go to the training base in advance to start learning." Wu Chen naturally agreed very happily to such a thing.
The value of a new type of equipment can only be reflected after actual combat testing, after all, anything will happen on the battlefield, and the performance of the Unicorn-1 heavy transport helicopter is very well tested, mainly because of the durability and reliability of mechanical and electronic equipment, as well as the ability to adapt to a variety of environments.
However, for fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters, Wu Chen would like to see the actual performance in the Falklands War, which has special significance for the aviation research and development department. If Britain is determined to defend the Falklands, the Royal Navy will definitely send attack nuclear submarines, and he has no idea whether the simplified version sold to Argentina will be capable of anti-submarine missions.
Why sell a simplified version? At the beginning, the design and development department used the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine and Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine of the United States, and the Russian Akula-class attack nuclear submarine, Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarine, Boreas-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine and Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine.
If you don't adopt a simplified version, then the enemy can find and destroy the nuclear submarines of the mercenary regiment by buying these two anti-submarine aircraft, which is simply a joke, and the way to train his opponent for himself is something that Wu Chen will never do. Therefore, when it was first designed, there were two versions, one was an internal version for personal use, and the other was a simplified version for external sales.
But even if it is a simplified version, at present, it is much more technologically advanced than the American P-3C fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft, and under certain conditions, some nuclear submarines of the mercenary corps can also be found, and Wu Chen does not feel that his conscience is unbearable.
"My dear, will Argentina and Britain start a second war on the Falklands?" Diana asked curiously to Wu Chen, who had just finished answering the phone. Now forty years old, she now looks like a thirty-year-old mature young woman, noble, elegant and bright, beautiful that people dare not look at it directly.
"The British Empire has never been able to let go of the face of the empire on which the sun never sets, and it is typical to have a swollen face and become fat, so Tsushima is very important, and it is one of the few overseas territories. Argentina is also determined to win Tsushima, and there are all kinds of indications that the government and military have devoted all their strength to preparing for the recovery of the Falklands, and have procured more than $20 billion in weapons and equipment from our hands alone. Wu Chen smiled and said.
reversed Diana's fate and allowed this kind-hearted beautiful woman to do what she liked according to her own ideas, which was one of the effects of Wu Chen's soul traveling through time and space.
Whether it is in the Golden Triangle Federation or in many African countries, the people have special respect and affection for her, and she has been awarded the honorary title of Charity Ambassador and the Humanitarian Award by the United Nations General Assembly.
With the cooperation of mercenaries, the Golden Triangle Federal Government Charity Relief Agency, which she chairs, has delivered food, daily necessities and medicines to many poor families in Africa, and has also personally visited these chaotic and dangerous places to visit the poor who are living in dire straits, and she is truly willing to help others.
Although this institution costs hundreds of millions of dollars or even billions of dollars every year, Wu Chen has always supported her as always, and Diana has won great honors for the Golden Triangle Federation and the mercenary corps.
"Xiao Guoqing is very beautiful, and seeing him now, I also remember what happened a long time ago." Diana gently hugged Wu Chen's waist, leaned her head on his chest, and listened to the strong and powerful heartbeat.
"If you want your two children, go back to see them, or let them come to the Golden Triangle City to live for a few days, Hunter will come forward to arrange for you, no matter how proud the British royal family is, this face must be given, how can there be a reason not to let a mother see her children?" Wu Chen said confidently.
