Chapter 3: The Anglo-Afghan War

Argentina, the second largest country in South America, has been at peace with Britain since the Falklands War in 1982, and the Falklands have been under British control because of the British victory in the war.

On a certain day, dozens of British ships, including the guided-missile destroyer USS York, the cruiser Clyde, the frigate INS Defender, the USS Scott, as well as ocean exploration ships and giant supply ships, entered the waters off the Falklands. The Argentine government announced to the world the blockade of the waters around the Falklands, and its president affirmed to the world that Argentina would defend its territory to the death against invasion by outsiders. At the same time, Argentine naval warships entered the same waters and began a naval confrontation with the British forces, and the Argentine air force patrolled the airspace with 10 sorties a day to warn the British troops to withdraw from the waters of the Falklands.

At this time, the entire Latin American country issued a statement strongly supporting Argentina and accusing Britain of imperialist aggression, as did neighboring Brazil and Uruguay.

A gunshot at noon one day opened the prelude to the war between the two countries, Argentina dispatched a total of more than 10,000 troops to seize the beachhead of the Falklands with the support of naval artillery, although the British troops stationed on the Falklands were less than 1,000 men, but with excellent workmanship, they resisted wave after wave of attacks, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. A day later, Argentina occupied the Falklands, and the two ** ships in the Falklands began to bombard each other, and when the two British aircraft carrier fleets arrived, the sea area was already full of smoke, and the warships of both sides had been wiped out, and the British government was angry, and all the carrier-based aircraft were dispatched to begin a devastating blow to the Argentine naval and air forces, and at the same time sent troops to recapture the Falklands.

The old empire finally got the better of the arts, the Argentine navy was wiped out, the air force was crippled, and the Argentine government was thrown into chaos.

One night, after receiving a mysterious telegram, the President of Afghanistan immediately convened an emergency military meeting and passed a resolution at dawn to requisition civilian ships to transport soldiers and retake the Falklands. At noon the next day, the British aircraft carrier fleet was attacked, and in less than an hour, the British fleet disappeared from the sea. In the evening of the same day, 20,000 Argentine soldiers landed on the Falklands.

On the morning of the next day, Britain announced its defeat, causing a global uproar, and the disappearance of the two aircraft carrier fleets was expected to cause Britain to lose most of its naval strength, and it would take more than five years to recover.

Although Argentina won, the price paid was also enormous. It took an astronomical sum of money to rebuild the Navy and Air Force, and at this time, a special guest came to the Argentine presidential palace: the left minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

When the Argentine government army was defeated, the Ryukyu Kingdom extended a helping hand to help them eliminate the British Navy, rebuild the Argentine Navy and Air Force, and provide a loan of 10 billion US dollars, provided that the resources of the Argentine coastal continental shelf, including the resources of the Falklands Sea, were exclusively developed by the Ryukyu Kingdom. At the same time, it has reached cooperation in economic projects with an annual trade volume of more than 100 billion Ryukyu won.

There are nearly 30 billion tons of oil reserves in the Falklands off the coast, which is equivalent to the Persian Gulf, and if you add the oil reserves on the continental shelf off the eastern coast of South America, the total amount is staggering. The Kingdom of the Ryukyus controlled the region's oil extraction, the equivalent of controlling the global economy, not including the resources of the adjacent Antarctica region.

The secret talks between the two countries were fruitful, and the Argentine government won the war on the surface, got oil, and although it suffered a little, it was for the Argentine economy to achieve steady growth for decades.

A month after the Anglo-Afghan war, the Argentine Navy regained its lost military power by purchasing eight missile destroyers, ten frigates, twenty patrol boats, and a hundred Raptor fighters comparable to the American F-15 from the Kingdom of the Ryukyus. It's a pity that what they don't know is that these warships are all rebuilt from the wreckage of warships during the war between Britain and Afghanistan, and if they have the money, even two British aircraft carriers can be bought.

After a secret deal, the Kingdom of the Ryukyus sold all the large and small warships that were remanufactured in their hands through the Argentine military, and at the same time let the Argentine government come forward and cooperate with the governments of Brazil and Uruguay to jointly develop the continental shelf resources on the eastern coast of South America.

In this way, the Ryukyu Kingdom took its first steps in South America.

In China, the desalination plant built in Shanghai has been vigorously publicized and reported by the media and the government, and the coastal countries of the world, especially the coastal desert countries, have come to inspect one after another. At this time, I was in Beijing discussing matters with the President and the Prime Minister.

"Mowgli, the news report of the Shanghai factory has surprised the whole world."

"Yes, several coastal provinces and cities have called and sent letters, hoping that the central government will do a favor and build factories to them."

"Let's look at the map first."

I pointed with a pencil to the coastal provinces: "Two factories in Zhejiang are about to operate, and after operation, the power supply in the region will be greatly eased, Shandong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan, I will personally go to the site to investigate, the most serious at the moment is the Bohai Sea, if the status quo is not changed in five years, the Bohai Sea will become the Dead Sea." ”

"What feasible approach do you have for Bohai governance?"

"This is a big project, you see, the pollution of the Bohai Sea comes from coastal enterprises, as well as the Liao River, the Yellow River, and the Haihe River.

"Good! But I want to ask one thing, there is no sand and dust weather in Beijing this year, did you do it? The chair asked.

"Also, I heard from the military that there are more unknown buildings in the desert." The Prime Minister said.

"Well, let's go to the scene and have a look, and we have to explain when we can." I said.

"Okay!"

A helicopter silently rose into the sky from Zhongnanhai and flew northeast・・・・・・
