Chapter 1322 A small episode in the process Three
"In fact, this question is not difficult to understand, Argentina has poured out resources for the second Falklands War, and has been preparing for more than ten years, and the mercenary corps has also carried out a three-year modern military training for the troops they participated in. As for the performance in actual combat, I am the same as if I am not there, and I can use communication satellites to participate in command at any time. Wu Chen said with a smile.
This is in the country house of the Russian president, Wu Chen will certainly not come here with a large group of supermodels, his girlfriends are traveling in Mosk, he took a helicopter piloted by President Park Kim himself, and came here directly from the presidential palace.
"Of course, the Russian government welcomes teachers to participate in the development of mineral resources in the Arctic region, and our two countries have always had close relations, and Russia needs help in the face of increasingly fierce competition. But as you know, the Franz Josef Land archipelago covers an area of 160,000 square kilometers, and even as president, I would not dare to finalize such a big matter, and I need to consult with the top officials of the government and the military to give you an accurate answer. President Park Kim said with a wry smile.
This teacher has always been generous in doing things, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to buy the Franz Josef Land Islands, although the temperature there was too low for survival, and there was no one living at all, but after all, it was the territory of Russia, or a territory of more than 12,000 square kilometers, and he also felt very embarrassed.
As the president of Russia, not only can he not open up territory for his country, but after losing the South Kuril Islands, he will sell the Franz Josef Land Islands, which is a huge failure during his tenure.
But President Park Kim also understands the fact that the mercenaries are determined to enter the Arctic region, and the huge mineral resources here are very important for the future of the Golden Triangle Federation.
Russia is very lonely, strictly speaking, it seems that only the Golden Triangle Federation is a real strategic ally, and dealing with the United States is the biggest point of convergence of interests between the two countries, if the request of the Golden Triangle Federation is refused, the future situation does not seem to be very optimistic.
"Now Russia is taking every step very hard, and the prospect is full of dangers, NATO's eastward expansion may happen at any time, the United States and Western European countries are openly and covertly targeting us, think about it carefully, the Russian government does not have a strong ally in the world."
"The international organization of the Commonwealth of Independent States is a plate of scattered sand, which will not play any role in Russia, and most countries and the United States will be holding us back, and maintaining a special strategic cooperative relationship with the Golden Triangle Federation is the key to the future rise, which is beyond doubt."
"Although this request of the mercenary corps is very excessive, we also have to take into account that if there was no financial support provided by Mr. Wu Chen before, the Russian government would have collapsed long ago, everyone should remember that the painful experience of being forced to repay debts by the Paris club at that time, we needed mercenaries before, and we will need mercenaries even more in the future, and maintaining relationships is a crucial and inevitable choice!" Mr. Prime Minister said.
This was a meeting convened secretly by Mr. President, and all the people present were powerful figures of the Russian government and military, who had gone through ups and downs with President Park Kim and had come to this day together, and they were absolutely loyal subordinates and partners, and they naturally experienced the situation when the Paris Club forced the Russian government to repay its debts, and it felt like the sky was falling at that time. What if there are more nuclear weapons, and what if there are more territories?
"Without the strong support of the Golden Triangle Federation, the pace of modernization of our army will have to stop, look at the Russian Navy, which was once the second largest navy in the world, except for the aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships and missile destroyers that the mercenary corps made for us, we have not even made a single one!"
"Surface ships are the main force of the navy, and no matter how many nuclear submarines are built, it will not be a decisive factor in the development of the blue-water navy, the problem is that Russia itself has lost this ability and needs the help of the Golden Triangle Federation, at least in a short period of time, it cannot produce contradictions and destroy the hard-won good situation." said the Minister of Defense.
The military naturally wants to restore the glory of the former Soviet Union, and the most important condition is to restore strength, and if you want to achieve this goal, you can't do it without the help of mercenaries.
All countries in the world that can build 100,000-ton heavy aircraft carriers, except for the United States, are the Golden Triangle Federation, and the United States, its sworn enemy, cannot build aircraft carriers for Russia, and even Britain cannot do it.
Russia's shipyards were originally full of talents, and tens of thousands of tons of aircraft-carrying cruisers and missile cruisers could be easily built, if it were not for the rapid collapse of the former Soviet Union, they almost built nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, especially the world's leading nickel-chromium plus titanium alloy steel technology and welding technology.
However, since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, there has been too much loss of experts, engineers and high-tech jobs in various shipyards, among which the mercenary corps has the most powerful ability to dig corners, resulting in the Russian Navy itself not even being able to build warships of several thousand tons, which is simply extremely depressed, no way, the salary paid by the mercenary corps is more than ten times that of Russia.
The high-level officials of the government and the military have no opinion on this, which means that there is no aftermath of this matter, and President Park Kim will naturally not insist on his own ideas, and he seems to have thought that Wu Chen must have predicted this result before he came, otherwise he would not have said it.
"With the rise in the price of crude oil in the international market, the Russian government's finances will get better and better, and in two years, my request will definitely be rejected, and now is the best opportunity, no one can imagine that crude oil will soar from $40 to $140, and there will be no such opportunity again." Wu Chen said.
This was an inquiry from Marcas, and Wu Chen told him to immediately go to Mosk to sign a contract, and the Golden Triangle federal government wanted to buy Russia's Franz Josef Land archipelago in the Arctic region, with a total area of 16,000 square kilometers, including more than 190 islands, although they are all uninhabited desert islands, they can represent different meanings.
Since the Golden Triangle Federation has its own territory in this region, it can justifiably meddle in the development of mineral resources, which poses a certain threat to the five Nordic countries and Russia, as well as Canada and the United States.
