Chapter 764: Iraq's Help

New ways to get more Exocet missiles! Hearing this, Galtieri's face was suddenly full of excitement: "Really? What way? ā€

"Through the Iraqi side, they now have a large number of Exocet missiles in stock. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" said Commander Aranya.

On the Iraqi side! France, due to its independent national defense policy, allows them to sell weapons at will, although the price is higher, but the political binding force is relatively small, and Iraq, during the Iran-Iraq war, obtained a large number of Exocet missiles!

Iraq's crude oil is mainly transported through pipelines, while Iran's crude oil is dependent on sea transportation, so before launching the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq purchased a large number of missiles in order to conduct a war at sea at a critical time. In history, these Exocet missiles are famous, and the famous Iran-Iraq ship battle, this missile is one of the main forces. And the most famous is that the Iraqis used a flying fish to blow up a big hole in the American Perry-class frigate Tasker.

At the same time, Iraq's carrier aircraft carrying Exocet missiles include Mirage F1, Super Hornet, etc., as well as Super Flag fighters leased from France.

And now, in Iraq's arsenal, there are still dozens of Exocet missiles in stock, but Iraq has not borrowed the super flag fighter, in history, it is 83 years, and now, Iraq does not need to fight a war at sea, the dispute has ended.

At the same time, Iraq's national defense policy has completely fallen to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet-made weapons in the country, these Exocet missiles, that is, the existence of chicken ribs, under such circumstances, it is only natural that these Exocet missiles should be sold at a high price.

Moreover, what is more important is that in the Middle East now, there is no need to look at the face of the United States, on the contrary, it is probably what they like to do more to slap the Americans in the face.

In this case, if Iraq wants to export Exocet missiles, it is also a certainty, and as long as the price is negotiated, there will be absolutely no problem.

However, the sneaking purchase of Exocet missiles from Iraq is facing another risk, that is, the Soviet Union! Everyone knows that the current Iraq is behind the Soviet Union! Iraq's actions were actually instructed by the Soviet Union! When the international arms market was searching for Exocet missiles, the Argentine arms traffickers did not think of attacking Iraq, because Argentina did not want to deal with the Soviet Union yet!

After all, Galtieri still thinks that he is a Westerner in his bones, and his values are the same as those of the West, and Galtieri rejects the Eastern world in his heart.

But now, the West has hurt him a lot, and the Falklands are Argentine, which should be recognized by the Western world. But now, Argentina has recaptured the Falklands by force, and the entire Western world has abandoned Argentina! I chose to stand with the UK! All the efforts of Argentina have come to naught, so to speak, Argentina has been abandoned by the Western world!

This hurt Galtieri very much, and now, Iraq took the initiative to come to the door to provide Argentine Exocet missiles, in fact, this is a stepping stone for the Soviets, and the Soviets are testing their own attitude!

And what choice should you make for yourself?

"Aranya, what do you think?" Galtieri asked his confidant.

Felt? What do you think? Hearing Galtieri ask, Aranya said: "President, I am a soldier, I only know that our weapons are all purchased, and now, our outsourcing has been stuck by the entire Western world, and if we want to win this war and drive out the British, we cannot give up any opportunity." ā€

Galtieri nodded: "Yes, we can't give up this opportunity, after all, we have been abandoned by the entire Western world." ā€

"The president, this arms dealer, can help us even more." "For example, he promised to pass on intelligence about the British fleet to us in real time, including satellite photos, including radar detection," Aranya said. ā€

Intelligence of the British fleet! If Argentina wants to win this battle, it will have to make many preparations, among which intelligence is quite important, and it is very important to know the real-time position of the British fleet and know their movements accurately. However, these require reconnaissance satellites, which Argentina does not yet have.

If the other party can provide it, it is helping its own side to fight!

"Good, very good!" Galtieri stood up: "What else can they offer us?" ā€

"It can provide us with two air tankers, as well as a Super Hornet helicopter that can carry sonar probes and detect submarines. In addition, they can provide an efficient construction team to renovate the airport on the Falklands, lengthen the runway and increase the number of hangars. ā€

Every project hits the nail on the head of Argentina! Now, that's what Argentina needs most! Of course, nothing else, for example, even if they can sell Argentine submarines, surface warships, Argentina will not have time to receive and train, in that case, there will be no combat effectiveness.

"Okay, these projects will be carried out immediately, and we can agree to whatever price they offer!" Galtieri said. These projects are carried out, which is definitely not a small amount, but now Argentina's focus is to win this war! What price the other party raises, you can accept it!

"Their offer is not too outrageous by 50 percent higher than the normal price, but they have an additional request." Aranya said.

Additional requests? Hearing this, Galtieri frowned: "What request?" ā€

"They want to work with us to develop the oil fields near the Falklands, and they want to hold 50 percent." "Of course, even if they don't agree to this request, they won't give up on other projects," Aranya said. ā€

Developing oil fields near the Falklands? Galtieri knew that the purpose behind this request was far-reaching, and it turned out that the Soviets were eyeing the oil fields near the Falklands!

The Argentines seized the Falklands, and the British immediately mobilized the whole country like a chrysanthemum, and launched this cross-sea war, although it is related to the lost dignity of the empire on which the sun never sets, but the waters near the Falklands contain rich oil resources, which is also one of the reasons, because the international oil prices are now high, so, oil is life!

At present, the specific proven reserves have not yet come out, and the known reserves in later generations are as high as 60 billion barrels, which is definitely not lower than the North Sea oil fields. The British, too, in order to safeguard their practical interests, have not yet pumped oil near the Falklands, but in the future, they can mine it at any time.

The Soviets, it is not enough to occupy the Middle East, they still want to occupy the Falklands oil fields?

"We'll consider this request later." "Now, let's use our dollars to buy their weapons," said Galtieri. (To be continued.) )
