Chapter 23 Lobbyists

There is no suspense about how the press in the Republic’s “repair room” has caused any political consequences.

Relatively speaking, what is more worthy of attention is the simultaneous arms sales to Ah.

On the morning of the day of the day, Jiao Kuishan, the chief assistant to the head of the Republic, mentioned the issue of arms sales to Afghanistan in Beijing when interviewed by reporters at a press conference. Because on the morning of the same day, the head of state had transferred the arms sales case approved by the head of state to the Military Commission of the Plenary Congress. The arms sales case must first be supported by the Military Commission, and then submitted by the Military Commission to the Plenary Congress for deliberation and voting. Therefore, Jiao Weishan bluntly answered the reporter who detained the reporter, saying that the Republic's arms sales to Afghanistan did not undermine the relevant international openness and did not harm the interests of any third party. It is a normal trade activity protected by international trade norms and should not be affected by any country.

At that time, international public opinion was in an uproar.

Although the specific content of the arms sales contract will not be announced before it is officially submitted to the plenary congress for deliberation, according to reports from Western news media, Jiao Kuishan's answer has shown that the true scale of arms sales is likely to exceed the official news released before. Of course, the deletion did not forget to advocate the arguments of war and declare that Argentina's introduction of advanced weapons and equipment was making the final preparations for the war.

No one can tell how much effect the propaganda of Western news media has had.

In the past few years, every time Argentina entered weapons and equipment from the Republic, Western news media would hype it up and predicted that the war was about to break out. As a result, every prediction was undefeated. "Wolf is coming. He shouted too much. Naturally, he lost his persuasion. When "Wolf is coming, he really comes. No matter how powerful he shouts, no one believes it.

"Is the wolf really here?

Jiao Kuishan answered the reporter's question about 2 o'clock in the morning after deleting the reporter's question. At 2 a.m., Buenos Aires time, Pei Chengyi left the capital of Argentina with the Argentine army liaison officer and the Military Intelligence Bureau Fanze and headed to the Argentine general staff department located outside Mercedes.

Pei Chengyi was also a little surprised by the Argentine military's active actions.

When he received the call from Alfonso, Pei Chengyi was discussing accommodation issues with other personnel of the military advisory group that were about to arrive with Dongfangwen. Fortunately, after receiving the call from Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi expected that the Argentine military would be very active, so he spent several hours considering the relevant issues.

On the way to the Argentina General Staff, Pei Chengyi carefully sorted out the things he considered during the day.

Without guessing, Pei Chengyi knew that the Argentine army was preparing for the war. What he had to do was to play a key role at critical moments and help Argentina make up his mind.

Because she had talked with Li Cunxun a long time ago, Pei Chengyi didn't have to contact Li Cunxun specifically.

When he came to the Argentine General Staff, Pei Chengyi was invited to the conference room. When he saw the Argentine soldiers sitting and felt the atmosphere in the venue, Pei Chengyi knew that his speculation was definitely correct. The Argentine military had real differences on whether to recover the Cabernet Island through military operations. He needed a persuasive person to help them make decisions. Or provide an important basis for decision-makers to make decisions. Although Pei Chengyi did not meet the Argentine president or the Argentine government officials, he found that this was just a closed-door meeting within the army, based on his understanding of Argentina these days, he knew that Argentine President Theron was also in the General Staff, but he had not entered the conference room.

After taking the seat, Pei Chengyi decided to take a look first.

The problem is that Alfonso, who invited him, did not give him a chance to observe the situation.

General Pei is the highest military adviser invited by the president. He is not an outsider, so there is no need to worry about anything." Alfonso looked a little excited. He seemed to have quarreled with someone. "In this room, only General Pei has practical experience, and no one can deny General Pei's great achievements in the Peninsula War, Japan War and India War. The so-called authorities are confused, and bystanders are clear. Since we can't argue on key issues, you might as well listen to General Pei's opinions.

After saying that, Alfonso turned his gaze to Pei Chengyi.

Pei Chengyi also noticed that not only Alfonso was concerned about him, but other Argentine soldiers were all looking at him. What made Pei Chengyi a little amused was that Alfonso began to ask for opinions without even introducing the basic situation. To make an analogy. Even if Pei Chengyi is a miracle doctor who can cure the disease, he must prescribe the right medicine after looking, listening, asking and touching.

"Actually, we have no big differences." Tracescu saw Pei Chengyi's embarrassing situation and quickly said. "We just received the news that your head of state has approved the arms sales contract. If it is not unexpected, the contract will take effect soon. The so-called preparations are made, although we still insist on regaining the island by peaceful means, we have to consider other solutions without any choice. To be honest, we have different opinions on some issues. Please come to General Pei, mainly to listen to the opinions of the outside world. As for whether to take military action, it is not the turn of the soldiers present to decide. That is the matter of Your Excellency the President.

After hearing Tracescu's words, Pei Chengyi nodded slightly, indicating that Mercury understood what the other party meant.

Thug "General Pei, do you need relevant information?"

Pei Chengyi glanced at the Chief of Staff of the Army who was deliberately making things difficult for him and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, please come here. I mainly want to understand one thing, that is, how sure is to recover the island through military operations. Obviously, this is not a question that can be answered in one sentence. Although I can write to each simplified stream without hesitation..." Yu Xinji posted a small advertisement to Li Xin Xie Xiaojie Li's famous mouth; the score is, but as a friend of the army, I must be willing to eliminate the words and deeds of the self-corpse, so I cannot make rash actions. To figure out this problem, we must first know ourselves and the enemy. The situation of the army. I think everyone sitting is much clearer than me, and there is no need to waste my mouth. Taking this opportunity, we can discuss the situation of the opponent in detail.

Seeing Pei Chengyi heading straight to the point, most of the Argentine soldiers sitting there showed serious expressions.

"As the party at the time of the Cabernets dispute, we had to consider the military strength of Britain first." Pei Chengyi glanced at the Argentine soldiers around him and said, "My mother doubted that Britain, one of the five nuclear powers, had strategic strike forces that Argentina could not match. Of course, we don't have to worry about it, because after the London Conference, even if Britain intends to use nuclear weapons in war, it has to be concerned. More importantly, the Republic will never watch. As long as Britain and some Western countries that secretly support Britain do not want the conflict in the South Atlantic to evolve into a global war, they will not use destructive weapons in war.

Argentine soldiers all agreed with this argument.

Although Argentina has not yet joined the intensive group, according to the bilateral alliance treaty signed by the Republic and Argentina, the Republic is obliged to provide Argentina with a nuclear protection umbrella. That is to say, when Argentina is under nuclear threat, the Republic will take tit-for-tat measures. The rebellious Bashan, Bin, and the factory is less sued, Huang Xinbiao, and many small employees are more

"After all, the conflict in the Horse Islands is just a regional conflict, Pei Chengyi took a sip of tea and said, "Whether it is your country or the United Kingdom, or other countries involved, do not want to turn regional conflicts into large-scale wars. In fact, few countries are now able to bear the serious losses caused by large-scale wars. If we recognize this, we have enough reason to believe. The only thing Britain can mobilize is its conventional military force. We even have reason to believe that Britain mobilizes at most maritime and air military forces."

"I just said that we only need to consider the threat of the British Navy, Tracescu said as he looked at several army generals.

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "Ideally, we only allow the British Navy to consider the British Navy. The key issue is that even if we only consider the British Navy, we do not let the enemy be careless. In terms of scale, the British Navy is definitely among the top five in the world. If calculated based on combat strength, the British Navy is likely to be the third largest navy in the world, second only to the US Navy and the Republic Navy. Not to mention anything else, the British Navy is the fourth navy with super aircraft carriers besides the United States, the Republic and Russia. More importantly,

The British Navy has three super aircraft carriers. Although under normal circumstances, only one aircraft carrier battle group is in combat readiness, according to the information we have, the UK eliminated three medium-sized aircraft carriers in advance and built three aircraft carrier battle groups regardless of the national strength. The main reason is that the combat readiness rate of the three medium-sized aircraft carriers is not high, and the three super aircraft carriers fully consider the wartime mobilization ability in the design stage. If the information we have is not wrong, the British Navy can complete the mobilization work within one month and send out three aircraft carrier battle groups within forty-five days."

Tracescu was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth and stopped saying anything.

"In addition to aircraft carriers, the British Navy also has strong underwater power. The performance of its two-stage twelve hybrid attack submarines in service is no worse than that of the US Navy, and it has reached the world's advanced level. In addition, the British Navy also has a long-standing and tenacious Marine Corps. Although according to my estimate, as long as the Republic does not participate in the war, the United States will not participate in the war, but when the war is unfavorable to Britain, the United States is likely to provide support to Britain, including military intelligence, like half a century ago. In other words, we have to consider the influence of the United States Pei Chengyi sighed and said, "Comprehensive various factors, we must clearly realize that the ideal situation only exists in the planning, and it is impossible for ideal situations to occur in reality, so we must consider worse results.

"General Pei. Your opinion is."

Pei Chengyi glanced at Alfonso who asked the question and said, "In my opinion, no matter how hard your army is, the military operation to recover the Horse Island will not be easy. It can even be said that if your army did not fundamentally recognize the arduousness of this war, it would definitely suffer the consequences.

In this way, should we still make diplomatic efforts?”

"It is undeniable. No matter when it is, it is worth achieving its goal through diplomatic efforts.

Pei Chengyi glanced at the Argentine Army Commander and said, "The question is, should the national interests be sacrificed if diplomatic efforts fail to achieve their goals? Although as a military adviser, I have no right to overtake the matter and answer this question for everyone, as a soldier, I can tell everyone clearly that there will be no such problem in front of the Republic's soldiers, because for the Republic's soldiers, defending the national interests is their basic responsibility.

The thugs are watching the Argentine soldiers!”

Pei Chengyi smiled faintly and said, "I have said a long time ago that no matter when, I will not underestimate your army, nor do I underestimate everyone. There is no doubt that each expression has already explained the problem. Since we can only defend national interests by war, we must keep a clear mind, recognize the reality, find out the shortcomings of the enemy. Then concentrate our efforts, use the shortcomings of the enemy to defeat the enemy, and achieve the final victory."

"In General Pei's opinion, what is the shortage of the British army?"

After looking at Tresscu, Pei Chengyi and Erding said: "I don't need to answer any question at all. I believe that in the corridors where I sit, the fatal flaw of the British army heading south."

After Pei Chengyi said this, Tracescu immediately understood.

Alfonso frowned slightly and said, "Since that's the case, what good suggestions do General Pei have?"

"Suggestion?" Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "I have only one suggestion. That is, a quick battle and a quick decision. Never turn a small-scale maritime conflict that can win within a few days into a large-scale war that cannot be concluded. Don't let your country bear too much pressure on the war."

"According to General Pei's statement, we have a great chance of winning?"

Thugs: To put it another way, if I were to command your army to fight, in order to complete the combat operations as quickly as possible, after the war started, I would use assault troops to capture the island, eliminate the garrison on the island, control the main military targets, and build a defensive position.

There is no doubt that Britain will respond quickly. In one month or even half a month, the UK may also take steady measures. After all, Argentina is not Argentina in the early 1980s. The British navy hastily entered the battle and can only suffer a painful defeat. At this time, I will try my best to force the British army to set out in advance, at least to force some British combat forces to move south before making full preparations, and then try to annihilate the enemies that went south in advance. As long as it can severely damage the British navy in the battle for sea control, I want to emphasize that one key is to severely damage the enemy, rather than seize sea control. As long as this goal is achieved, victory will be just around the corner.

Although Pei Chengyi's analysis was very rough, it still made Argentine soldiers' eyes shine.

Thug "General Pei, how confident are you?"

"Sharing?" Pei Chengyi smiled faintly and said, "This is just a war idea that cannot be more rough. Without a specific plan, I will not make any predictions."

Thug "In this way, General Pei was not very sure of Argentine Army Commander Patos smiled coldly and said, "Although General Pei led his army to win two wars, I'm telling that this is not the Western Pacific, nor the North Indian Ocean, but the South Atlantic. What we have to deal with is not the two nouveau riche, but the long-standing British. In my opinion, General Pei's war idea has nothing new to say. It's just a replica of the last Cavaliers War. More importantly, General Pei ignored one of the most critical issues. Half a century ago, we were able to recapture the Cavaliers through sudden attacks because Britain did not believe in our strength at all and believed that we would never start a war. Compared with half a century ago, Britain had been preparing for the war. The defense power on the Cavaliers is stronger. Even if we can launch a sudden attack, it is unlikely that we will recapture the Cavaliers without any suspense."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and did not argue with Patos.

There is no doubt that Pattos's point of view makes Pei Chengyi a little hard to believe, because according to Pattos' statement, it is equivalent to admitting the incompetence of the Argentine Army. No matter what, Pei Chengyi would not believe that such words would be said from the mouth of the Argentine Army Commander. If Li Cunxun had not said hello a long time ago, Pattos had always been dissatisfied with the unfair treatment the Army received in the modernization of national defense, and used the promotion of the "crisis theory" to gain more funds for the Army. Otherwise, Pei Chengyi would really doubt whether Pattos was Tian Yi who obeyed the orders.

Also embarrassed were Alfonso and Tresscu.

The reason is very simple. No matter how much Alfonso and Trescu look down on the army, they cannot behave well without taking advantage. Their silent attitude also made Pei Chengyi believe that Argentine President Theron must be in a nearby room. He was observing the words and actions of everyone in the room through CCTV.

After a long silence, Pei Chengyi said: "General Patos's words do make sense. I also admit that my understanding of the South Atlantic is far less than that of the Western Pacific and the North Indian Ocean. More importantly, I am an army soldier, not a navy soldier. And I have never commanded a naval battle. It is just one thing that must be admitted, that is, on the issue of sovereignty of the Cavaliers, whether I personally or the Republic, have no conditions to support your country. We must also firmly believe that only the just side can achieve the ultimate victory. No matter when, regaining lost land is a just act."

After Pei Chengyi said this, Patos's face looked much better and the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed.

Thug "General Pei is right. We must not only believe in the justice of the war, but also be sure to win." As he said that, Trescu gave Alfonso a look.

Alfonso did not hesitate and whispered a few instructions to the officer who was beside him.

Paying attention to the actions of the two. Pei Chengyi knew. Don't think about returning to Buenos Aires before dawn. The person who held this military meeting was definitely not the Argentine soldiers, but the president who swore allegiance to allegiance to allegiance to allegiance to allegiance to allegiance to allegiance to allegiance to allegiance to the war. Of course, it was not the soldiers who actively promoted the war, but the politicians represented by Theron. Paolan Bashan, Yao Dianqing, and Shaoxia's new block, at most

If not unexpected, Theron will come forward.

Pei Chengyi still has enough reason to believe that Theron has made a decision. All he needs is a "lobbyist" who can convince soldiers to play this role for him. The highest military adviser from afar.
