Chapter 494: Into the Arms of the Soviet Union

"The Americans have completely abandoned us." In the Argentine capital, Galtieri listened to his men, his eyes full of anger, he was the best friend of the United States in South America, Britain was the best friend of the Americans in Europe, and at worst, the two should not help each other.

However, he absolutely did not expect that the Americans would support the British in this way.

On the diplomatic front, the Americans have harshly criticized Argentina and at the same time called on the whole of Europe to impose an arms embargo, which would be very constrained for a country that hardly has any military industrial strength at home.

"France has stopped the contract with our Super Flag fighters, and we will not get these fighters, as well as the supporting Exocet missiles, until the Falklands issue is over." At this moment, the commander of the navy beside him said.

Seeing that the British might really come over, they were in a hurry, after all, although they didn't believe that the British really dared to go on an expedition, but after all, they had to be prepared.

Now, they realized that they didn't even have a decent weapon at hand.

Historically, the British Navy suffered a lot of losses, almost all of which were killed by Exocet missiles, which in turn were carried by the super-military flagship carrier aircraft.

Argentina's planes and missiles were purchased in 1981, and now, they have not had time to buy them, they originally saw the opportunity, the British were not guarded, and simply took action to settle the dispute, who would have thought that the British would dare to really come?

Without anti-ship missiles, do they rely on bombs? That would be too ineffective.

Just then, suddenly, someone from outside came in and reported: "President, there are a few Soviets who want to see you. ”

Soviets? Hearing this, Galtieri was very surprised.

The relationship between Argentina and the Soviets is not good, in international affairs, Argentina listens to the United States and firmly follows the United States, that is, it causes chaos for the Soviets, and now, the Soviets are actually coming?

Galtieri's heart was very strange, but at such a time, it was not convenient for him to give the order to evict the guest.

"Invite them in." Galtieri said.

Soon, people from outside came in.

The Soviet ambassador to Argentina, Kritkov, the military attache, Grefich, and several others he did not recognize.

"Mr. President, we heard that you have been abandoned by the United States." Kritchkov came up and said this, which of course made Galtieri angry.

However, he has no way to deny that, yes, the Americans are all open internationally, and they want to defend Britain with all their might, of course, they want to abandon Argentina, which is simply too infuriating.

"The British Navy is about to go on an expedition, and with the level of your army, we think it will not be easy to defeat the British Navy." At this moment, a young man on the other side spoke.

"What do you mean by that?" Galtieri's face darkened.

"The British have three aircraft carriers, can carry 80 Tomcat carrier-based aircraft, can build a defense zone of at least 200 kilometers, Argentina's current fighters, it is impossible to even get close to them within 200 kilometers, how can the Argentine Navy repel the British Navy?" The young man continued.

This young man, Andrey, came to Argentina after receiving Andropov's arrangement, he knew that it would not be easy to convince Argentina, and it would not be easy to draw them into his camp, but he had to try.

Although these words are ugly, it is necessary to make the other side accept the reality that Argentina has been abandoned by the United States, and only the Soviet Union can save Argentina. "As long as you want, we can export weapons to you, which are certainly more advanced than the Super Flag and Exocet missiles, so that you have the ability to attack British aircraft carrier formations at a long distance." Andrei continued.

History has changed a lot, who would have thought that the British would actually search for three aircraft carriers, and they can all be equipped with Tomcat carrier-based aircraft, Argentina wants to win, it is much more difficult than in history, and if there is no help from the Soviet Union, it is even more unthinkable.

"Why should I trust you?" Galtieri asked suddenly.

If he accepts military aid from the other side, then there is no doubt that his own national policy needs to be fully tilted towards the Soviet Union, and he cannot accept it psychologically, although he has been abandoned by the United States, he does not want to throw himself into the arms of the Soviet Union, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is in the twilight.

Hearing the other party's words, Andrei knew that he had already been moved, and now, as long as he explained another thing, the other party would throw himself into the arms of the Soviet Union with all his heart.

"Argentina's economy is in trouble, inflation is up to 600 percent, which means that the country's economy has collapsed, the government has gone bankrupt, do you know why?" Andrei abruptly changed the subject.

The reason why Argentina launched this war is that, in addition to the just right external environmental conditions, another key point is that Argentina has serious domestic inflation, and the economy is about to collapse, so it can only rely on waging a war to divert the attention of the domestic people.

They did it so successfully, and the people immediately felt that they could accept it, and they had a sense of national pride.

So, what is the reason for their economic problems?

"Argentina was once one of the richest countries in Latin America, with its abundant agricultural and mineral natural resources, rich in cereals and beef, which were exported in large quantities all over the world. But now, the country is on the verge of a dead end, and all of this is caused by Washington. Andrei said.

As soon as Andre said this, the other party was stunned: "What? It's all caused by Washington? ”

Andrei smiled: "Of course, otherwise, how could Argentina's economy collapse now?" Do you really think that the United States will be kind enough to help your economy? ”

"If you're willing to listen, let me give you a brief overview of how the Americans actually shear their sheep in Latin America." Andrei said.

How did Argentina and other South American countries go to economic collapse?

It's all thanks to the "Washington Way." The "Washington Way" is one of the ways on which American capital shears sheep.

After the seventies of the twentieth century, the United States was in the "backyard of the United States" in the South American countries of Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, and Argentina...... and other countries, sending a large number of economic and financial experts to some countries in Latin America with a certain degree of economic strength to agitate and change the original conservative and stable nationalist economic development mode of the countries there, and many Latin American countries, under the instigation and direct guidance of US experts, have vigorously pursued the development policy of "neo-liberal economy"; including the complete privatization of the economy in mineral resources and industries that are the lifeblood of the national economy, imitating the economic development model of the United States, and comprehensively and thoroughly opening up finance and the economy. to adapt to the development of so-called economic globalization.

This model of economic development, in a word, was privatization and liberalization, which at that time was called the "Washington Way".

With regard to governments that refuse to cooperate, the US government has adopted various means, such as public opinion smearing, economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, assassinations of key figures, military strikes, and coups, to change governments and prop up obedient puppet regimes. Forcing Latin American countries to follow the Washington path.

At that time, the liberal and democratic features of the United States had not yet been widely recognized, the people of the world still lacked immunity, and the clamor of the United States still had some incitement.
