Chapter 31 Arms Sales

On the month and on, the Military Commission of the Guocang Unit will be submitted to the public for review by Xiao Fanxun's "Deliberation of the Four No. 5 arms trade review documents"... Because according to the Delegate Review Law passed in the Year of the Kick-year, in order to ensure the transparency of the legislative process, in addition to the special approval of the head of state, all proposals and proposals submitted to the plenary congress for review must be published to the public within the time of submission. Therefore, after the Military Commission submitted the "No. 5 document" to the plenary congress for review, there is no secret to the sale of arms to Afghanistan.

There is no doubt that no one doubts the news released at this time.

It was not until this time that the details of the Republic's arms sales to Afghanistan were released to the public.

What made the Western news media, who had previously predicted that Argentina would spend hundreds of billions of yuan to purchase a large number of advanced weapons and equipment from the Republic was that the total scale of the arms sales was indeed only tens of billions of yuan, mainly involving the maintenance and maintenance of old weapons and equipment, as well as the ammunition consumed a lot during practices and exercises. The cost of purchasing new weapons and equipment was less than 100 million yuan, and most of them were used to purchase individual weapons. Argentina did not purchase advanced combat platforms from the Republic.

Although some Western media claimed that the Military Commission announced not a real arms sales contract, and the real arms sales contract has been handled secretly in accordance with the requirements of the head of the Republic and will be voted secretly at the plenary congress, according to international management and the Republic's usual practice of selling arms in recent years. Because advanced weapons and equipment are designed to have a large amount of confidentiality technology, when it comes to arms sales issues, whether it is the Military Commission or the Head of Republic, they will not conceal the content of the contract at will. They will not easily sell advanced weapons and equipment. In other words, the announced arms sales contract is indeed a real arms sales contract and there is no suspicion of fraud.

If this is the case, the problem will be complicated.

In other words, Argentina's lack of large-scale procurement of advanced weapons shows that Argentina is likely not to take extreme action on the issue of sovereignty in the island of Cambodia.

On the same day, major news media conducted key reports and comprehensive analysis on this.

As before, Al Jazeera has maintained a relatively "restrained" stance, and while being worried about the situation in the South Atlantic, it is cautiously optimistic about the turning point on the Internet. According to the commentator invited by Al Jazeera, if this military purchase operation declares that the continuous defense modernization construction will officially end. Argentina's basic national strategy changes, then the highly tense situation in the South Atlantic is likely to undergo a fundamental change. Although the hope of resolving the Cabernet dispute through a peaceful means is still very slim. However, in the foreseeable future, Argentina will not provoke conflicts, nor will it engage in military adventures without any chance of victory.

From this comment, it can be seen that Al Jazeera remains neutral.

Compared with Al Jazeera, Western news media have no neutrality.

Before the news was announced, the news program was adjusted just now, and the cause and consequences of the "Argentine military purchase case" were sorted out from beginning to end in the form of key reports. The former assistant secretary of state responsible for Latin America and retired officers covering Latin America were also hired to comment on the problems caused by the "army purchase case" and the situation in the Cabernet Island that has continued to heat up in recent years.

It must be admitted that news is "made".

Regardless of the facts, it is impossible to grasp the truth within a few hours, because according to the exact information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Communist Party of China could not understand Argentina's strategic intentions until the war broke out. It was precisely because of this. It was not until a few hours after the war broke out that the British Prime Minister who lived in the old Downing Street had believed that the war had broken out. The war warning issued before this was not groundless.

Without knowing the truth, any comment is creating news.

According to the deleted report, Argentina did not purchase advanced weapons and equipment on a large scale, not because it gave up the modernization of national defense. It did not slow down the speed of replacement, but because Argentina is preparing for the war and purchased weapons and ammunition with the expenses originally used to purchase advanced weapons and equipment. To prove this view, a large amount of data was just cited in the report, for example, in Argentina's military purchase contract, nearly one-third of the funds were used to purchase ammunition. In addition, billions of yuan were related to ammunition maintenance. Although in other words, there is no direct evidence that Argentina purchased a large amount of advanced ammunition, the signed ammunition procurement agreements involved very mature. Ammunition with huge potential for improvement, and more importantly, almost all of these ammunitions are

It can be produced and assembled in Argentina. That is to say, Argentina is likely to buy an improved model, and after the outbreak of the war, it requires the Republic to provide technical assistance as a quasi-ally, and as a quasi-ally, it is possible that the British mainland will provide technical assistance to achieve localization at the fastest speed. Because the British land is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the South Atlantic, even if it reacts at the fastest speed, the expeditionary fleet will take tens of days to reach the waters of the Island of the Island. Therefore, during this period, Argentina is likely to use the signed agreement to produce a batch of advanced ammunition that can pose a fatal threat to the British Expeditionary Fleet. According to the estimate, if the General Assembly of the Republic immediately reviews the arms sale and passes it at one time, Argentina will obtain the first batch of ammunition before the key. It can launch a military operation as soon as possible before the clear down.

My love experiences

There is no doubt that Gang's prediction was very bold.

Because Kung has always had a close relationship with the Four, and the Four's ability is obvious, the report has had a great impact on the news media in the UK and even Europe. More importantly, the deletion of the

, the first to do the divination. Therefore, its argument became the weather vane of Western public opinion. Subsequently, Western news media quoted "news materials".

Excluding ideological influence, the one-sided attitude of Western news media can explain the problem to a large extent.

In other words, Argentina's military purchases are indeed a bit thug and exposed.

The analysis has been made before. According to the long-term plan of Argentina's national defense modernization construction and the objective laws of weapon and equipment renewal, if Argentina wants to maintain its existing military strength, it must purchase advanced weapons and equipment on a large scale within the year to replace the early stage of national defense modernization construction. That is, a large number of weapons and equipment purchased from the Republic around the year of the knife. Although according to the rules of equipment replacement, if the overall military strength is not improved, the army can be reduced within an appropriate range, thereby reducing the procurement quantity and controlling military expenditure. But even so, because Argentina's equipment is huge, it is necessary to purchase enough new equipment. More importantly, the service life of weapons and equipment is generally twenty years, and after life extension improvement, it can continue to be used until the old year. In this way, even if the existing weapons and equipment are extended, it is necessary to be purchased.

For the treatment of life, Argentina will also start to purchase new weapons and equipment on a large scale from the New Year. If Argentina intends to buy enough advanced weapons and equipment and wants to lower the price, it is not uncommon to negotiate military purchases in advance in the New Year. In other words, perhaps Argentina’s request to purchase small old fighter jets at this time will not be agreed by the Republic. If Argentina does not apply at this time, it will definitely be rejected after the New Year. In other words, if the clams are not requested in advance, they will be agreed upon after the New Year. Of course, in the words of Western news media, there is no need to involve too many equipment life extension contracts in this military purchase, so Argentina either watches that its military strength is reduced by more than half within the year, or signs a military purchase contract with the Republic again in the near future, and it is a large contract with a scale of over 100 billion.

According to this, Argentina is indeed preparing to launch a war.

Unlike the news media, after the Republic announced the relevant news, the United Kingdom, as one of the parties, did not respond too strongly.

Needless to say, even if Yingmu responds strongly, it will not be effective.

In the six years, when the Republic sold advanced weapons and equipment to Argentina for the first time, the United Kingdom responded extremely strongly! The result was still unable to prevent the Republic's weapons from flowing into Argentina.

In the following year, whenever the Republic sells weapons and equipment to Argentina, the British government will take action, and the protests will naturally become lower and lower. Although British political parties regard the Cambridge issue as the main political card and criticize the cowardly style of previous governments on arms sales in the general election. However, after they come to power, they will adopt the same strategy, that is, do not blame the Republic too much, so as not to lose his worries. It can be said that in British politics, as long as things related to the Republic's arms sales to Afghanistan are political minefields, except for opposition parties outside the minefield, they can use them without any worries, while the ruling party in the minefield can only be cautious. It can even be said that the British regime has changed frequently over the years, and the prime ministers of the three major political parties enter and exit the old Downing Street like a revolving lantern, which is very funny with the Republic's arms sales to Afghanistan.

Know, ten thousand

The British government is silent, which does not mean that nothing is done.

In the afternoon of London time, less than two hours after the Republic announced its official news, the British ambassador to the United States personally visited the US Secretary of State. The British Prime Minister then summoned the US ambassador to the United Kingdom. The commander of the US European theater commander and the British commander-in-chief of the NATO group were in contact a little later, exchanged military intelligence they had, and discussed the impact of the Republic's arms sales operations.

What Britain and the United States need to exchange is more than intelligence.

My love experiences

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency to Pei Chengyi, the British Prime Minister and the US President spoke on a hotline. In addition to discussing the situation in the South Atlantic, it also agreed to hold an interview at the SAT Group summit held on March 19 to discuss the bilateral positions of the two countries on the Cambridge Island issue.

In other words, the UK has sent a request to the United States.

Although there is no evidence that the United States will publicly respond to the British call for help, there is enough reason to believe that the United States will not sit idly by. In other words, if the leaders of Britain and the United States reach an agreement at the STO Group summit that Argentina is preparing for the war, the United States will take active and decisive actions to provide Britain with the best of its ability, such as providing Britain with a batch of weapons and equipment before the war breaks out, helping Britain collect intelligence, taking targeted diplomatic actions in advance, creating international public opinion, etc.

There is no doubt how the situation will develop. It is not the United Kingdom that has the decisive influence, but the United States.

In fact, it is the superpower that affects the situation in the South Atlantic.

To put it bluntly, the tense situation in the South Atlantic was fabricated by the Republic and the United States. In the words of a certain American tabloid, the Republic announced the list of arms sales to Afghanistan at this time, not to obtain approval as soon as possible, because according to the content of the list of arms sales, it is not necessary to even conduct too much discussion to pass in the vote. Instead, it wants to use this to test the confidence of the United States, or to draw the attention of the United States, provide a basis for the next actions, and provide assistance to the domestic reform of the Republic.

Regardless of whether this analysis is accurate or not, the problem has been handed over to the United States.

Not to mention those shrewd American politicians, even Pei Chengyi saw the intention of this move at home. Because he knew more than the editors of American tabloids, Pei Chengyi saw much more. In his opinion, the Military Commission had just said that at the Yue Nai Shuo, Sun Zhaobi and others had just given the arms sales contract to the Cangti Congress for deliberation. The main thing is to strive to handle this arms sales operation before Wang Yuanqing left office, fulfill Wang Yuanqing's promise, and safeguard the relationship between the Republic and Argentina to the greatest extent; the second is to use this to attract international public opinion and help cool down the domestic situation; the third is to open up the situation for the next government so that the transformation of the Republic's political structure will not be subject to too much international pressure. To achieve these three goals, one prerequisite is to delete and wait for the predictions of Western news media to become facts.

In other words, in Pei Chengyi's view, the war is about to break out.

Even Pei Chengyi believes that war is inevitable, so the Argentine authorities will naturally not be more optimistic.

On March 19, Theron held a plenary meeting of Argentina's military and political affairs.

, Ten thousand

Although Pei Chengyi was not qualified to attend such a high-level meeting, and he was not even qualified to attend, the Military Intelligence Bureau did not make him an outsider and provided relevant information very promptly.

According to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, Theron clarified Argentina's basic strategy at this meeting.

In Liu Xiaobin's words on the phone, the problem of war or not lies with Theron, but with some senior officials, including the Foreign Minister and the Finance Minister, firmly oppose the recovery of the Ma Island through military operations.

Although Theron has been working hard to unify internal opinions in recent months and even replaced several officials for this purpose, only when interests cannot be completely unified can the reorganization of the cabinet be unified. There is no doubt that whether it is considered from the domestic issues in Argentina or from external factors, what Argentina needs most at this time is internal stability. Reorganization of the cabinet can only cause political turmoil and cannot play a role in uniting force.

Of course, the situation is not as bad as expected.

Because Britain has taken action and is working hard to gain support from the United States and Hungary. Government officials who oppose military action are not opposed to strengthening national defense construction and seeking support from the Republic. In this way, the Republic has the opportunity to intervene in the internal situation in Argentina.

The next day, Liu Xiaobin contacted Pei Chengyi and asked the military advisory group to play its due role.

There is no need for Liu Xiaobin to remind you. Pei Chengyi knows what role the military advisory group should play. However, the role of the military advisory group is quite limited, and to have a key impact, diplomatic actions must be taken. It can even be said that only appropriate diplomatic actions can make those Argentine officials who oppose the war "change their minds."

Without Pei Chengyi's concern, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already begun to take action.

On March 2018, the Ambassador of the Republic of China to Afghanistan held a formal meeting with the Argentine Foreign Minister.

During the meeting, in addition to exchanging diplomatic notes, the Argentine Foreign Minister proposed to hold ministerial consultations as soon as possible. The Ambassador of the Republic responded on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, saying that at the right time, higher-level consultations will be held with Argentina to exchange basic views on the situation in the South Atlantic.

Relatively speaking, actions without exposure are even more important.

Just as diplomats from both sides were exchanging opinions, the agents of the Military Intelligence Agency exchanged intelligence with Argentine agents in a bar in Buenos Foots according to Liu Xiaobin's arrangement. Although Argentina is a quasi-ally of the Republic, the two sides had long signed an "intelligence exchange agreement." However, in terms of important intelligence related to national interests, it is not "shared." It is impossible to open each other, and they can only exchange according to actual needs when necessary.

This time, the information exchanged was "actually needed".

What information was exchanged? Pei Chengyi was not clear, and Liu Xiaobin would not tell him. One thing is certain, Liu Xiaobin had long assured Pei Chengyi that the Argentine authorities would soon increase their attention to the military advisory group and take a key step in military decision-making. Based on this, Pei Chengyi had enough reason to believe that the Military Intelligence Bureau disclosed the information that triggered the Cambodian crisis and became the focus of the interests of both sides to the Argentine authorities. In other words, what the Military Intelligence Bureau sent out was the information about the rare metal deposits of the Cambodian Islands. And it must be the false information emitted by the four through private channels.

Report.

If this is true, there will be no suspense in the war.

It can be said that at this point, some senior government officials such as the Foreign Minister and Finance Minister still oppose military actions. It is not that they are worried that Argentina will not win in military actions, but that they feel that the return of war cannot compensate for the losses of war. If they can change their ideas and make them believe that there are enough valuable resources on the island of Cabernets to compensate for the losses of war and even change the fate of Argentina, as long as they are Argentine politicians, even real pacifists, they will change their original position on major issues that concern the fate of the country.

I love ugly

Since there is no more suspense, Pei Chengyi has also accelerated the preparations.

On March thug, Pei Chengyi held another plenary meeting of the advisory group. After introducing the new situation, he made new arrangements for the work of the advisory group.

It can be said that Pei Chengyi is racing against time and must come up with a small battle plan that can convince the Argentine authorities as soon as possible.

March thug On the 2nd, the attitude of the Argentine authorities changed significantly.
