Chapter 776: Move a small horse to watch
Argentina, in terms of South America, may be considered a rich country, but the war is a bottomless pit, the war has just begun, Argentina is already in the stage of being stretched thin when buying arms everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, even so, even if he gritted his teeth, Galtieri did not want to hand over the sovereignty of the Falklands to others, let alone hand over the power of oil exploitation to the Eastern world, so he still tightened his belt and decided to use precious foreign exchange to buy these Mirage F1 fighters.
After all, if Argentina wants to win this sea and air war, fighters capable of launching Exocet missiles are a must! Now it seems that there is no other option than to buy this batch of Mirage F1s from Iraq. At the same time, in order to become proficient as soon as possible, it is necessary to hire ground staff and pilots from others with high salaries, which require more costs.
Receiving an affirmative answer from Galtieri's mouth, Aranya made another appointment with Mhamad.
"Mr. Mhammad, we have decided to purchase this batch of 20 Mirage fighters at your price, and we hope that you can deliver them as soon as possible." Aranya said to Mhammad.
"Rest assured, we have always been very punctual in doing business, as long as you transfer the money to our agreed account, loaded with the transport plane of the Mirage F1, you can take off from Iraq and deliver the goods on the same day." "I'm very happy that our cooperation is going well," Mhammad said. ”
"However, the oil exploitation rights you proposed, I'm sorry, our president, is still not interested." Aranya said.
"It's okay." "As long as you can pay the final payment, we don't care how you pay it," Mhammad said. Moreover, our current cooperation is already very good, this is a little bit of our heart, please smile. ”
As he spoke, Mhammad took out a bank card from his pocket, which is a bank card issued by a Swiss bank, which can be paid at any time.
Aranya naturally took it: "This is also for us Argentina, and I wish our friendship to last forever." ”
There is no cat that does not stick to meat, and bribing the president directly is the most stupid way, and bribing the people around the other party is the most effective. Moreover, you don't want to embarrass the other party, and both sides are beneficial.
Iraq's Mirage F1 was already intended to be eliminated. After maintaining friendly relations with the Soviet Union, Iraq has decided to eliminate its own non-Soviet-made weapons and replace them with Soviet weapons, and, for various reasons, the asking price of the accessories for the Mirage F1 given by France to Iraq is quite high, so it is also a good plan to simply sell it to Argentina now!
$30 million a plane! This is higher than the purchase price in Iraq at the beginning! Being able to sell these fighters at this price, Aranya has of course made his own contribution, so he deserves a share of the profits.
At this time, Andre, who had been wandering on the ocean for half a month, was also happy to crack his mouth when he received the news.
In this arms trafficking, the Soviet Union played the role of a second-class dealer, that Mhammad was not an Iraqi at all, he was an agent of the KGB, no way, who let Iraq have so many legal equipment? It's time to be eliminated anyway.
Exocet missiles, are they awesome? Compared to the Sunburn missile? That's what kids do.
Therefore, after the introduction of Soviet-made weapons, Iraq's original legal weapons should have been phased out, and now, it is just right to deal with the rags for Iraq, the Mirage F1, and it would be good to give Iraq four million dollars a plane, and the remaining profits will go into the pockets of the Soviets, and as the initiator of this project, Andrei's Turkestan Military District, of course, will have to share a large share!
"Make every effort to help the Argentine air force, master the operation of these fighters as soon as possible, the ground crew can also support them, and the pilots can also be mercenaries and earn pocket money." Andre said: "Now, the rest of our time, let's move a small Mazha and watch them fight in the sea and air!" ”
"General Andrey, aren't we going to do something?" Victor asked Andrei. Now, quietly hiding in this sea area, watching the battle between the Argentines and the British, is it really just a spectator?
"Of course not." "Our electronic jamming pods, optimized for the British's Sea Javelin air defense system, can be sold to Argentina, no, lent to the Argentines and help them fit on their planes," Andrei said. ”
The last time they flew over the British fleet, they obtained the electronic parameters of the British air defense system, and then the electronics experts on the USS Soviet's aircraft carrier optimized their own jamming pods for these electronic parameters. And now, it's time for these interference pods to make a meritorious contribution!
If the Soviet Union's own planes ran over to interfere, it would be a bit unreasonable, and this kind of thing should be left to the Argentines themselves!
After three days of calm, a tragic sea and air battle finally began!
The main force of the Argentine navy is still cowering in the port, but the Argentine naval aviation and the Argentine air force are almost all out of the nest.
The sea area where the British fleet is located is far beyond the combat radius of Argentina's land-based air forces, so fighters taking off from Argentina must be refueled in the air before they can reach them.
The first to take off was the Argentine Air Force's air tankers, in fact, they did not have many tankers, but recently obtained several KC-130 air tankers from Iraq, which can greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient number of air tankers.
Almost at the moment when these air tankers took off, the Chilean ground radar unit on one side had already discovered the unusual movement of the Argentine air force on this side, so the early warning signal was transmitted to the British sea formation.
The entire formation has entered a state of imminent battle, and in the past few days, the British have also held back their strength, as long as in this air battle, they will thwart the Argentine attack, let them realize that they cannot attack the British formation again, and at the same time greatly hit the Argentine air power and lay a solid foundation for landing on the Falklands!
One after another, the air defense destroyers, sailing in the outer layer of the formation, one after another Sea Javelin anti-aircraft missiles, pointing straight to the sky, one after another, Sea Harriers, mounted on Sidewinder missiles, ready to take off from the deck of the aircraft carrier at any time!
The Great War is about to begin! (To be continued.) )
