SECTION 1572 SOUTH AMERICA(1/2)
At the end of World War II, the U.S. Army had 89 divisions and more than 6 million men; the Navy had 10,759 ships of various types, with a total tonnage of 13.82 million tons, and a total strength of 3.85 million, including 500,000 Marines; at the same time, in 1947
On September 18, the Department of the Air Force was officially established, marking the establishment of another new service, the Air Force, alongside the Army and Navy. Neither of the two world wars affected the United States, and coupled with the large amount of arms trade during the war, the U.S. economy and
The military strength expanded sharply due to the stimulation of the war, and the size of the military ranked first in the world. At the end of World War II, the U.S. Army had 89 divisions and more than 6 million people; the Navy had 10,759 ships of various types, with a total tonnage of 13.82 million tons, and a total strength of
3.85 million, including 500,000 Marines; this was the time when the US military was the most powerful in history. At that time, the US military did not unify the entire world. Can the current energy group do it? Although this data energy group has long surpassed it,
Now that countries all over the world are developing, it will be very easy for Americans to restore everything they had at that time.
"Mr. Stark, the Chinese nation has done many glorious things in history. You may say that I am immersed in the past history or that I am vain, but you must admit that my motherland can do things that others cannot.
The things we are doing are still like this now. You don’t believe that we can complete it, but I am going to show you that we can complete this series of things. Let’s see.” After Li Cong finished speaking, he knew that he would continue to stay.
There is nothing interesting anymore. I was about to leave. At this time, a beautiful blonde girl came. Li Cong looked a little familiar, but I didn’t know who this woman was. She came out pushing a dining cart, but Li Cong dared
I'm sure such a woman cannot be a waiter. If that were the case, the Skull and Bones Society would be too full of people.
"Why are you getting ready to leave? Li Cong, do you remember me? I'm Catherine's sister. Sit down, it's not time to leave yet. I just prepared some things. Our family should sit down and eat together.
Yes, I only found out yesterday that you were going to meet. If possible, I really want Catherine to come back and we can chat together." The beautiful blonde said. If she is Catherine's sister, she must be at least in her thirties now.
But it seemed that this woman was only in her twenties. Li Cong now had an impression in his mind that this was Catherine's half-sister. This woman had never done anything big in her life, but Catherine's father liked her back then.
Chatting with her, Li Cong also felt that this woman's affinity was very good. Even if he took one look at that smile, he would not forget it for a long time. Miter has always been a jealous person. As long as something threatening appeared around Li Cong
You can feel it immediately, but at this moment it seems that the person opposite is an angel.
"Hello, Mrs. Elena, if you don't speak, I will definitely go over and ask her if you have a mother named Elena. More than ten years have passed, and you still haven't changed at all. No, it should be
There have been changes, you have become more attractive than before." Li Cong said with a smile. He was telling the truth. Anyway, there are free words, so it is normal to say a few more nice words.
"Haha, speaking of which, the people in our family are not so sweet-mouthed. Catherine and Yoselin are so lucky to be praised by such words every day. They should live a good life, Mr. Li, come and try my craftsmanship
How about it." Elena said with a smile, as if the person in front of him was not their biggest enemy, but a member of their family, and the atmosphere today seemed to be that of a family gathering.
Li Cong glanced at Stark who was shaking with anger. He knew that staying here was not a good thing, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Elena, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't disturb you.
I will definitely visit you another day, another day, and I hope I can still eat your cooking." After Li Cong finished speaking, he took Miter and strode out without giving Elena a chance to save her. He knew very clearly that if
If you continue to stay, there may be some embarrassing problems for you. This woman will definitely play the family card. This is not what she is good at, and she really has no intention of treating them as relatives in the city. Back then, she had an affair with the Skull and Bones Society.
It is a last resort to have a relationship. Even if I owe them, I have allowed them to do their best over the years. Now it is time to meet on the battlefield.
Seeing Li Cong's actions, the woman's face looked a little ugly. He had already extended a warm invitation. In fact, he also knew that this battle would definitely break out. He couldn't influence it as a woman, but he himself
He just wants to delay it for a while, but his brother is still a little out of control. Maybe Li Cong just wants you to say this. If you say it, the responsibility of provoking the war will no longer be in his hands.
Now, looking at the forces on both sides, it can be seen that the energy group is coming to rule the entire world as the largest force. If he is not prepared, he will not be able to tell his plan in front of an outsider. Elena is helpless
She shook her head. As a woman of the Yeke family, she had fulfilled her responsibilities, and the rest was beyond her control.
After returning to the base, Li Cong looked at everything busy outside. This moment finally came. Li Cong looked at his watch. Maybe the war would start from this moment on. He was not prepared at the beginning, so
The scale of the war is better to start small. Li Cong looked at the map and it will definitely start in Argentina. Starting from the base at his feet, he has invested a lot in this base. The various defenses on the periphery are also
It's definitely not what it seems on the surface. If the Americans can't show their true abilities, they probably won't be able to do it.
The largest military base in South America, code-named qwwe, has been established for more than ten years. It is a base jointly used by the army and air force. It can also be said to be a fortress. It covers an area of 102 square kilometers and is similar to a county-level city in China.
It is almost the same. It has been said to the outside world that two brigades of the Air Force, 350 aircraft and 100,000 army soldiers are stationed here. But the real situation is not like this. Everything here is the same on the surface, but you have to be careful.
If you observe it, you can find that the Army soldiers training in the open space every day are different on two days. The aircraft here plus the underground hangar have at least 700 combat aircraft, and the Army also has more than 100,000 people from time to time.
, but a reorganized division of 245,000 people. Recently, an African mercenary division-level unit of 122,000 people came over. The African mercenaries are the most powerful mercenaries in the energy group. They are also the largest number of mercenaries in the regular army.
, most of the troops of the African Legion were transformed from them. In addition, there are 50,000 local Argentine mercenaries here. Only they know how powerful these people are. Li Cong has never
Counted on them.
Now there are two extremes within the Argentine government and the army. Those who rely on energy groups are mainly economic forces. They are not very good in the army, so Li Cong has no hope for them. In South America,
It is not cost-effective to launch an economic offensive. The group's properties in this area have not been disposed of in recent times. If there is a quarrel, the losses will be considerable. Moreover, the group has a very good reputation in South America. If it rashly launches an economic war
If you do, you may not be able to reap the benefits. The Skull and Bones Society also knows this, so both sides have a tacit agreement to focus their struggle on military matters.
The Republic of Argentina (Spanish: republicaargentina) is a federal republic located in southern South America. It borders Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil and other countries, and faces the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast. It is the second largest country in Latin America and the eighth largest in the world.
The country's capital is Buenos Aires. Argentina and the United Kingdom have a sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands, which is currently under British control. At the same time, Argentina also claims land sovereignty of 1 million square kilometers on the Antarctic continent. Argentina benefits from
Rich in natural resources, a highly educated population, an export-oriented agricultural sector, and a diverse industrial base, the country has historically had a large middle class relative to other Latin American countries, but it has gradually shrunk after a series of economic crises.
.
In Spanish, the words "Argentina" and "La Plata" have the same meaning, both meaning "silver". In 1527, after Spanish explorer Sebastian Cavuoto led an expedition to the South American continent,
It went upstream from a wide river mouth and penetrated deep into the interior. The explorers found that the local Indians were wearing many silver ornaments and thought that the area was rich in silver, so they named the river La Plata River.
The area was called the La Plata District. The Spanish colonial rulers later changed the La Plata District into a province. On July 9, 1816, the La Plata Province declared independence and officially named the country Argentina. Argentina
The word originates from Latin, which not only refers to silver in a specific sense, but also means "currency" and "wealth". Although this vast land does not produce silver, it does have fertile soil, lush grasslands, and a good climate.
, which made Argentina the "granary and meat bank of the world", with wealth rolling in. Therefore, it is most appropriate to call this country "Argentina".
Argentina's population has grown rapidly. In 1850, the population was only 1.1 million, in 1900, 4.673 million, in 1930, 0.0,000, in 2000, more than 37.8 million, in 2010, 40 million. Now it has a population of 195 million. The main ethnic groups are Europeans and
Indians, of which 97% are white, are mostly of Italian and Spanish descent. It is the country with the highest proportion of whites in South America. The urban population accounts for four-fifths. Mixed-race people, Indians and other races account for 3
%. With such a large population, it can be seen that it is very difficult for energy groups to develop mercenaries here. Most of this country still does not recognize energy groups. Normally, they just think that energy groups are very good and have brought them
job opportunities, but territorially they still identify with the Skull and Bones Society, after all, they are all of the same race.
With an area of 2,780,400 square kilometers and a coastline of more than 4,000 kilometers, it is the second largest country in Latin America (a collective name for other American countries except the United States and Canada), second only to Brazil. It is located in the southeast of South America, bounded by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and Antarctica in the south.
Facing each other across the sea, it borders Chile to the west, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, and Brazil and Uruguay to the northeast. The terrain gradually becomes lower and flatter from west to east. The west is a mountainous area dominated by the rolling, majestic Andes.
It is more than 3,000 kilometers from north to south, accounting for about 30% of the country's area; the Pampas in the east and middle are famous agricultural and pastoral areas; the north is mainly the Gran Chaco plain, swampy, and forest; the south is the Patagonian Plateau.
The main mountain ranges include the Ojos de Salado Mountains, the Mexican Mountains, and the Aconcagua Mountains with an altitude of 6,964 meters, which is the highest peak in South America. The Paraná River has a total length of 4,700 kilometers and is the second longest mountain in South America.
Big river. The main lakes are Lake Chiquita, Lake Argentina and Lake Viedma. From the map, Li Cong’s qwwe base is located exactly in the middle of Argentina. It can be said that if this place is not conquered, Li Cong will probably
Starting from this center and slowly spreading to the surrounding areas, this is something unimaginable.
The northern part has a humid subtropical climate. The central part has a subtropical and tropical desert climate. The southern part has a temperate continental climate. The average annual temperature in most areas is between 1623°C. There is abundant precipitation in the northeast, around 1.000 mm, and 250 mm in the northwest and south;
There is more rain in summer. The Parana de la Plata River has a total length of 5,580 kilometers and is the second largest river system in South America. Its main tributaries include the Paraguay River, the Uruguay River and other international boundary rivers. There are many glacial valleys and moraine lakes in the southern Andes. It is famous.
The Humahuaca Canyon was once the channel through which the ancient Inca culture was introduced to Argentina, and is known as the "Inca Road". Argentina is rich in mineral resources, mainly coal, iron and silver. It has relatively rich hydraulic resources. The forest area accounts for
It covers an area of 22% of the country. It is rich in coastal fishery resources and is a world-famous exporter of agricultural and animal husbandry products. Especially for the export of beef and mutton, the energy group’s hotel group has always been their largest customer. It is precisely because of the energy group’s purchases.
The local herdsmen have such a good relationship with the energy group. They are the main group of more than 50,000 mercenaries. Others are not very interested in the energy group, but they are also interested in the Americans.
It's not that good, it's just that they have been in contact with the Americans for a longer time than the energy groups. In fact, these people prefer them to be with Spain and Portugal, but Europa is not very willing to accept them at this time.
The current total military strength is 373,000. The paramilitary force is 231,240. In addition, there are 505,000 reserve forces. Afghanistan is one of the countries with the lowest military expenditure in South America. Military expenditure in 2040 will be 5.5 billion US dollars, accounting for 10% of the GDP.
of 1.07%, lower than the South American average of 1.74%. It has no overseas bases or troops. If a war breaks out, Argentina can immediately mobilize 500,000 troops. It is estimated that the energy group can influence 10% of these 500,000 troops.
Thirty is not bad. It is not easy to develop your own people in the enemy's territory, but the Investigation Department has done an investigation. If a huge war really breaks out here, with the help of the Americans,
Argentina has no problem forming an army of five million men.
Afghanistan and the United States have traditionally had friendly relations. Successive Afghan governments have placed the development of relations with the United States at an important position in their foreign policy. After the outbreak of the economic crisis in Afghanistan in 2001, relations between the United States and Afghanistan became somewhat alienated. After the Kirchner government came to power, it continued to strengthen relations with Venezuela and other left-wing countries.
Relations between the two countries have been relatively cold. Since the Cristina administration came to power, it has attached great importance to improving relations with the United States. In 2011, the presidents of the two countries successfully met at the Cannes Summit of the G20 leaders. Relations between the two countries continued to ease. In 2030, the previous prime minister announced that he would join the
They entered the North American trade circle, which brought their relationship with the Americans to a honeymoon period that continues to this day.
The EU is Afghanistan's main economic and trade partner and traditional export market for agricultural and animal husbandry products. Afghanistan and Western Europe share common cultural origins, religious beliefs and blood ties. Successive governments have attached great importance to traditional relations with Europe and actively promoted cooperation between Mercosur and the EU.
The two major groups established a political and economic alliance to eventually achieve trade liberalization. The EU supports Afghanistan in debt negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, but requires Afghanistan to respect the legitimate rights and interests of international private creditors and resolve the issue of Afghanistan's debt arrears to the "Paris Club" as soon as possible
In May 2010, President Cristina attended the 6th EU-Latin American Summit held in Madrid, Spain. Since 2011, relations between Afghanistan and the United Kingdom have tightened over the sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands. Later, Skull and Bones mediated the dispute, but it could not be resolved.
The contradiction has become resolvable. In short, the Americans hope that Argentina will become the front line against the encroachment of energy groups, and the Argentine people's hesitation has also become a major boost to them. The current domestic situation is very unfavorable to energy groups.
Transportation is the most developed among Latin American countries. Roads, railways, aviation and shipping are all centered on the capital and radiate outwards, forming a fan-shaped transportation network. Domestic transportation is mainly land transportation, and 90% of foreign trade goods are transported by water. Above
In the 1990s, the Afghan government privatized all transportation service industries.
Railway: The total length is 34,059 kilometers, the longest in Latin America. However, the railway department has been poorly managed for a long time, suffering losses year after year. Coupled with the lack of investment, many equipment and two-thirds of the lines are aging, and most of the sections have been out of service. Since 2003, the Afghan government has stepped up efforts to
Increased investment in infrastructure construction such as railways. Plans to build and renovate many railway lines. In 2008, a total of 450 million passengers and 10,000 tons of cargo were transported. After joining the North American trade circle, the Americans and the government worked together to transport a large number of Argentina’s
The railway has been renovated and is now 90% operational. It was a considerable transportation force during the war.
The capital Buenos Aires is the first South American city to build a subway. It has a developed subway network with a total of 6 lines and a total length of 50 kilometers, carrying an average of more than 150,000 passengers per day.
Highways: The total mileage exceeds 500,000 kilometers. The total length of national highways in 2008 was 88.38%. The central government spent 6.009 billion pesos on road infrastructure construction that year, a year-on-year increase of 40.12%. In 2008, national highways
122 million vehicles passed through the toll station, charging 210 million pesos. The number of new cars was 615,200. Its energy group produced 252,200 cars and imported 363,000 cars. In 2010, it produced 716,500 cars. A year-on-year increase of 39.7
%. There are currently two huge ports built on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. According to the information obtained by the Energy Group, this part is prepared to receive large-scale entry of foreign troops during wartime. The Energy Group only controls two ports on the coast of Argentina.
As a small port, it is currently not feasible at all. If a war breaks out, we will have to rely on powerful air force.
There are 38 seaports and 25 inland ports in the country. In 2008, the port throughput was 157 million tons. Important ports include Buenos Aires Port, Blanca Port and Rosario Port. Paraguay-Parana River Channel
It is Afghanistan’s main inland waterway, with a total length of 3,302 kilometers.
Air transportation: There are 58 airports in the country, 23 of which are international airports. There are daily flights to provincial capitals, major cities and important tourist spots. There are 26 international routes. In 2008, the passenger volume of domestic routes was 5.818 million, and the cargo volume was 11,763 tons;
The passenger volume of international routes is 9.287 million, and the cargo volume is 294,591 tons. The capital Ezeiza International Airport is the largest airport in the country. Aerolineas Argentinas is the largest airline in Argentina. It was acquired by a Spanish company in 1991 and was acquired by a Spanish company in 2008.
