Chapter 225 Argentina
On the other side of the earth, the southern tip of South America, Argentina.
This is a vast country. In South America, except Brazil, Argentina has the largest land area. It borders the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Antarctica to the south, Chile to the west, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, and Brazil and Uruguay to the north.
The terrain here is complex, gradually low from west to east. In the west, it is mainly composed of the undulating and majestic Andes Mountains across South America, with more than 3,000 kilometers north and south. The Pampas grassland in the east and central areas is a famous agricultural and pastoral area; in the north, it is mainly the Granchaco Plain, many swamps, and forests; in the south, it is the Patagonian Plateau.
Argentina has abundant mineral resources, including oil, gas, coal, iron, silver, uranium, etc. The living standards here are relatively high in South America.
However, for some reason, the economy has been in a sluggish state since last year, and this year, the economic situation has worsened.
Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is one of the most prosperous cities in Latin America. It is located on the west bank of the La Plata River. It has beautiful scenery and a suitable climate. It is known as "Paris in South America".
Usually, there are always in and out of here, and it is very lively. Now, there is almost no entry outside the window, as if it is also facing the economic depression.
A man with gray hair but good spirits stood in front of the window of the government office building. His body was straight, wearing a military uniform, under the nose of the eagle groove, and on both sides of the raised mouth, there were two very deep wrinkles.
He is the president of Argentina, Leopoldo Fortunato, Galtieri Castelli.
Galtieri was born in the army. In 1976, a military coup occurred in Argentina. Galtieri supported the military coup and became increasingly high in the new government. Last year, Galtieri visited the United States and was regarded as an ally against the ** and was warmly received by Ronald Wilson Reagan. Because at this time, most of Latin America still belonged to the Third World and was the ** camp.
With the full support of the United States, Galtiri became the president of Argentina. However, when he was in the army, he was very competent, but as a politician, he was still short of fire. In terms of economy, Galtiri had no good countermeasures.
Since last year, Argentina's inflation rate has reached more than 600%, GDP has dropped to 11.4%, manufacturing output has dropped to 22.9%, and wage growth has only reached 19.2%. Therefore, the domestic strike storm has become increasingly serious, and the degree of dissatisfaction with the Galtieri government has become increasingly high.
How can we get rid of the negative impact of the economy? How can we get support from the people? Galtieri's eyes looked to the west.
The warm wind from the Atlantic Ocean was blowing. Galtiri sucked a cigar suddenly and leaned on the window with his hands, with determination in his eyes.
Change the current situation and unify the people's energy together, there is only one way to start a war!
Malvinas Islands, that's our Argentina!
The Island of Horse Island is located in the waters of the South Atlantic Ocean east of the southern tip of Argentina, and is only more than 200 nautical miles west of Argentina. It is 7,000 nautical miles away from the UK and across the entire Atlantic Ocean! Argentine fishermen will be expelled even if they fish in the waters near the Island of Horse Island, because the British rice flag floating above it!
Why is the Island of Falkland from Britain? It is only because the other party claimed that in 1690, the British captain Strong first discovered the pirate. He named the strait between the two main islands after the British naval official Viscount Falkland, and later became the name of the entire archipelago. In the British dictionary, this archipelago is called the Frank Islands!
Whoever discovered, owned, the former Empire of the Sun never set, seemed to have ignored it. On the land of Argentina, Argentine fishermen had already fished around the archipelago a thousand years ago, and they also ignored how to drive away the local indigenous peoples here when they arrived here.
The call for sovereignty over the island of Malaya has also become increasingly fierce in Argentina. Since 1966, Argentina has negotiated with the United Kingdom, but last year, it finally parted ways.
Since we can't talk, let's fight! Galtiel made up his mind.
The history of Argentina, rewritten from him, is the territory of Argentina!
"Annaya." Galtieri turned around and asked his naval commander-in-chief: "How is the plan going?"
If you want to attack the Cavaliers Island, the Argentine Navy will take the lead in the battle, so first of all, you know the president's plan, and the specific formulation of the action plan was completed by Annaya.
"Our plan has been improved. In July, we will enter winter here. The severe cold is the biggest enemy for the British team that is far away from the local war. Therefore, the time for our implementation is initially scheduled for September 15 this year." Annaya said.
Galtier nodded, good! The time choice is very good, especially here, which is closer to the Antarctic Circle. In winter, the climate is severely cold. The biggest threat faced by the British fleet that spans half of the earth is aura!
"At that time, the fourteen super flags and 15 flying fish missiles we ordered from France can be ordered, especially the flying fish missiles, which will be our most powerful weapon against the British fleet. Just a few years ago, the Iraqi Air Force attacked the Iranian Navy's warships and sank Iran's largest Babur-class. Although neither side made any statement, all the information confirmed that it is the flying fish missiles. We equipped this kind of missile, which will maximize our strength to fight against the opponent's formations." Annaya said.
"Flying Fish," Galtieri silently said the name, "Since Flying Fish is so useful, why don't we buy a few more?"
"Now, the production of French flying fish missiles is very limited. In addition to supplying them to their own use, they are provided to the Iraqi Arabs. They are big money, and it is said that more than 100 are ordered. Therefore, our order was postponed. Until now, three were delivered." Annaya said: "However, at that time, the British Invincible aircraft carrier will be sold to Australia as planned, and some large ships will also be retired or dismantled one after another. Therefore, the danger we face is only a few modern warships, especially the Type 42 air defense destroyer. With these flying fish, it is enough. At that time, the 4 ships and 2 frigates we purchased from West Germany will also arrive. If the British dares to come in, they will definitely be unreturned!"
A second-rate military power can never be compared with a first-rate! Galtieri thought contemptuously.
Britain's economic strength can no longer support their huge fleet, so Britain decided to retire the aircraft carrier. In this way, Britain's long-range offensive capabilities will be greatly weakened. Thinking that the aircraft carrier was dismantled into scrap iron, and Thatcherf went into the army and found that there was no suitable navy available under his command, I wonder if he would go crazy?
At the end of World War II, the British naval power ranked second in the world after the United States, with a total of 50 aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers! However, as the halo of the "Empire of the Sun" faded, the British national strength gradually diminished, and the situation of the navy was declining and gradually declined. All previous British governments have held a route to shrink overseas military power, and a large number of warships were retired, sealed or even demolished.
Especially last year, the pillar of Britain's maritime power could carry 38 fighter jets and a full load displacement of 50,000 tons was demolished. The UK only has an invincible aircraft carrier of 20,000 tons, and its ocean-going capabilities have been greatly reduced.
"At that time, our Baishao Navy will be organized into three fleets, including 2 destroyers, 2 frigates, 1 tank landing ship, 1 submarine, 1 icebreaker, and 1 supply ship to form the 40th Amphibious Special Mixed Formation, set off from Belgrano to recover the island of Casa Island, and formed the 60th Amphibious Special Mixed Formation with 1 frigate and 1 supply ship to carry 2 platoons of Marines, set off from the port of Deseado to recover the South Island, and also formed the 20th Special Mixed Formation with 1 aircraft carrier, 4 destroyers, 1 frigate and 1 oil tanker to provide combat cover. The commander-in-chief of the 5th Army of the Army and commander of the Malvinas theater. Operation code: Rosario."
In this way, almost all the vast majority of Argentina's warships were consumed, and at a lightning speed, they took over the Malvinas Islands!
Galtier opened the window, and it was already a bit stuffy outside.
As for Argentina's enthronement, you will see that your president is definitely not the weak cowards he used to be! Argentina needs a powerful president!
Later remarks believed that if Argentina could launch an attack as planned, then Argentine military dictator Galtieri would win, British Prime Minister Thatcherf would resign in military failure or lose in elections, and the British Labor Party would regain power in Britain on the 1st, and there would be no so-called Thatcherism, no revival of Britain, and there would be no Tony Blair or Gordon Brown's current life.
It’s a pity that everything cannot be started again, because Galtiri did not travel back in time.
Historical events have inevitable factors such as politics, economy, belief, and other aspects, and also have accidental sides.
At this time, the global military strategists were all focused on the powder barrel Middle East. What would happen to the war between Iraq and Iran? The conflict between Palestine and Israel is becoming increasingly fierce. In North Korea in eastern Asia, there are also reports that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons.
However, no one noticed that on March 19 of this year, 39 workers from an Argentina company came to South Georgia Island to demolish a 1-day whale processing plant.
"Alfredo, what are you in Thousand?" A worker who was demolishing the house saw the foreman who brought them, busy in front of a flagpole.
"The land here is so beautiful, the sky here is so blue, shouldn't our white spoon of national flag fly here? Why is it a rice-shaped flag?" said Alfredo.
When the workers who came here heard that this was true. This place was originally from our Argentina, why should the British flag be fluttered?
Anyway, it was demolished here, and it was only a few days since we were killed. Anyway, everyone was Argentina, so they all had an impulse.
"Yes, let's fly here!" The workers helped Alfredo, removed the British flag and hung their own flag.
From top to bottom, there are three parallel and equal horizontal rectangles from light blue, white and light blue. In the middle of the white rectangle is a "May Sun", and 32 straight and straight lines of light are distributed equidistantly along the circumference of the sun. Light blue symbolizes justice, white symbolizes faith, purity, integrity and nobility; "May Sun" symbolizes freedom and dawn. This is the national flag of Argentina.
Seeing it flying high on the flagpole, workers feel that they are working harder and more energetic.
