In 1982, in the context of peace and stability, several wars broke out in some parts of the world that deserved the attention of future generations.

The first was the Battle of the Falklands between Britain and Argentina.

The first to provoke the war was Argentina, which dispatched its navy to take back its own Falklands by force, and then, it attracted the frenzied retaliation of Britain, and the ocean-going fleet fought a long confrontation in the South Atlantic, with heavy casualties on both sides. And then OPEC's oil production cuts made things even worse.

However, as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the quality of the British [***] team is still much higher than that of Argentina, and the result in history is the same, Britain finally won the war and recaptured the Falklands, but, unlike history, because of the more Exocet missiles, Britain's victory was only a dismal victory, and the huge military expenditure put Britain on its back.

The defeat of Galtieri led to the downfall of his military and political axe, and the original attack on the Falklands was to divert domestic attention and increase national cohesion, and those social contradictions still exist acutely.

The newly formed civil government immediately began to criticize them, and even Galtieri was not spared and was sent to prison.

Argentina's economy, even worse.

And then there is the war of aggression launched by Israel against Lebanon. After being subjected to seven emergency resolutions of the United Nations, demanding his unconditional withdrawal of troops, and when more and more countries in the world began to denounce him, even the United States suspended its military aid to him, and the pace of Israel's offensive finally stopped.

The strategic purpose at the beginning of the war was not achieved, Arafat was not driven away, the Syrian troops were still stationed in the Bekaa Valley, and the Israeli army, which had already suffered nearly seven thousand casualties, most of them in street battles, did not receive strong assistance from the air force, and Israel's most elite air force, lost an AWACS aircraft, an electronic warfare aircraft, dozens of aircraft, including F-15 and F-16. In particular, even the Minister of Defense Salon and Deputy Chief of the General Staff Yekutir were killed in battle, and the forces of the right-wing forces were dealt a heavy blow.

In desperation, Israel withdrew from Beirut and returned to the status quo ante at the beginning of the war.

And in this war, the PLO and Syria also suffered a lot.

In contrast, the inter-stop war between Iraq and Iran has not been seen by military strategists.

Many people have studied these two wars, become professionals, and publish books to support themselves. Among them, they put forward a conclusion: In future wars, electronic technology will become another magic weapon to defeat the enemy, and the battle that took place in the Bekaa Valley profoundly illustrates such a viewpoint, and how the weaker side can rely on new tactics to achieve victory is a question worth studying.

From the point of view of different people, there are different conclusions, and from Zhang Feng's own point of view, no matter how you look at it, he is a winner this time.

In the Falklands War, he received 100 million US dollars, which is a large amount for him, at least the initial investment of the F-20 will be in place, and Britain paid a dismal price to win, and the economy was greatly affected, which is more conducive to his funds entering the United Kingdom.

The acquisition of the electronics industry, starting from the civilian use, can finally begin!

And the Argentine warships that are still held in Germany make Zhang Feng salivate, but now, he has not been able to buy them, and so far, Iraq's top priority is still to develop the air force.

In the subsequent Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Zhang Feng gained even greater benefits.

He has moved away from the pace of being only at home, and has begun to march into the Arab world, and the successful implementation of oil production cuts and embargoes has permeated his sweat and gained prestige.

And the support for the PLO, especially the record of Hades taking out the Israeli defense minister, has finally been confirmed, and Arafat has finally persevered in the predicament, and he is naturally full of gratitude to Zhang Feng.

And the other country, Syria, although it has always supported Iran and is very hostile to Iraq, but the balance in Major General Manaf's heart has begun to tilt in favor of Iraq, and with the last heavy blow to Israel's air force, Major General Manaf's status in the Syrian military has been elevated, and he has become a pivotal figure in the center of power, which is definitely a good thing for Iraq.

If you want to become a great power, not only militarily, but also politically, it is also very important. Economically, it is even more important.

Politically, it is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united, to twist the entire Arab world into a rope, and to use the oil resources in hand as a weight to compete with the great powers, and all this requires a strong military support.

Militarily, the Arab world is still very weak at present, and even if all forces are concentrated, they will not be able to defeat Israel, let alone face a superpower like the United States.

Needless to say, the Soviet Union has no future, and if it turns to the United States, then it will only become a tool used by others in the end, and in this era of social changes, how to survive and develop in the gap between the two empires is still very difficult, but if Iraq wants to rise, it can only seize such an opportunity.

At least with the Soviet Union, the United States would not have gone all out to deal with the Middle East, and in future generations, the reason why that superpower can do whatever it wants is not because it is a unipolar world?

Zhang Feng felt that he had neglected one thing, that he had always only attached importance to the military, the economy, cooperated with the United States, cooperated with France, and had a sense of intimacy with China, but he had no dealings with the Soviet Union.

You know, in this world, the Soviet Union still has a powerful and terrifying force.

In the two superpowers, using the power of the Soviet Union to resist the threat of the United States, such as this time, the arrival of the American aircraft carrier formation, if there is no confrontation with the Black Sea Fleet, I really don't know how it will end.

Perhaps, it's time for him to have a relationship with the Soviet Union, he simply admires his father too much, in history, there is no confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Mediterranean at this time, how can he be so sure that the Soviets will be dispatched? Could it be that there was an agreement between Daddy and the Soviets? Or is it just accidental?

"Your Excellency Qusay, Saudi King Khalid has passed away, and His Excellency the President has sent you to Riyadh to offer condolences." Suddenly, a secretary came in and said.

Khalid died? Zhang Feng was taken aback.
