Chapter 844: Concert Journey Seven
The Argentine military hierarchy was not surprised by the minister's proposal, which was a very logical choice, and if the mercenaries were willing to help Argentina against the British, then Argentina would have won the war, and there was no need to question it.
The principle of mercenary legions is not to get involved in wars between countries and countries, unless the interests of mercenary corps are touched, and it is not easy to meet this condition.
"The purpose of the mercenary corps is to make money by fighting, as long as we can afford the price, I think His Excellency Wu Chen will agree, don't let the mercenaries directly intervene in the war, and secretly use their hands and feet, the British Royal Navy will be uncomfortable, just like the kind of cruise missile that can sink a warship, until now, except for Russia, no one knows the model and data of that missile."
"For the territory of the Falklands, for the unification of the whole of Argentina, even if it costs 10 billion, 20 billion or even 30 billion dollars, it is worth it, and we spend this money with a clear conscience, this is for the country, not for ourselves!" The Chief of the General Staff said loudly.
Wu Chen did not hear the conversation of the Argentine military leadership, he has special abilities but is not a god, but in the presidential suite of the hotel, he heard similar remarks. This time, the British Minister of Defense did not come by himself, but also brought the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Navy, all of whom were powerful figures.
"Your Excellency Wu Chen, this time I took the liberty of visiting the hotel to confirm a very important news, you first see if the content on this document is true, and then we will talk." The Minister of Defense handed over a document.
"I can be sure that this is true information, the mercenary corps was indeed commissioned by the Argentine government to build aircraft carriers and missile destroyers, as well as two modern battleships, and I have just received a report from the Argentine Ministry of Defense, and your country's intelligence personnel are very good." Wu Chen roughly glanced at it twice, and knew that this was true, the key parts of the document did not have many words, and it had already been redlined.
"The mercenaries manufacture naval and air force equipment for the Argentine government, which is a purely commercial act, and the British government cannot interfere with it, but this secret act of the Argentine government is indeed doubtful, and there is an island disputed between our two countries." said the Minister of Defense.
If Argentina had announced this in an open and open manner, the British government would not necessarily have thought that it was aimed at the Falklands, and the last time it fought badly, wouldn't it have learned a lesson? However, the Argentine government secretly signed an agreement with the mercenary corps to conceal the news of the manufacture of warships, and there is a reason for this matter, not to secretly hack Britain once, and why?
"The scope of cooperation between the mercenaries and the Argentine government is only to manufacture weapons and equipment, and does not involve territorial disputes, the ownership of the Falklands is a matter between your two countries, and the mercenaries will not interfere, and we will in principle take a way of avoiding wars between countries and countries, unless it threatens our security and interests, that is another way to put it." Wu Chen shook his head and said.
Wu Chen's subtext is that the mercenary corps is to make money, not to participate in the struggle between the two countries, it is your business to fight to the death, don't involve the mercenary corps, if anyone wants to do this, it will force the mercenary corps to use force.
"The British side needs your statement that we do not want any third party to interfere in the Falklands issue. As for the purpose of this special visit to Your Excellency, I hope to ask for your help so that the pilots of the British Navy's carrier-based aircraft can go to the aircraft carrier training base in advance to learn the use of the Shield Defender-2 single-seat single-engine stealth supersonic vertical take-off and landing all-weather fighter, which can save our training time, and when the vertical take-off and landing fighter is put into service, it will immediately form combat effectiveness. Said the Chief of Staff of the Navy.
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request, because it violates the purchase agreement we signed, and according to the pilot training time regulations, your pilots will not be able to enter the training base until two years later, when the production of VTOL fighters for the British Navy begins, that is, your request is two years ahead of schedule."
"If this matter is known to other countries, it will cause damage to the reputation of the mercenary corps, and it will also make us very passive internationally, and I, as a shareholder of the mercenary corps, do not want such a situation to occur. The reason why Argentine carrier-based pilots can go to the base for training is because we have a contract for the construction of aircraft carriers, which has this provision, otherwise it is impossible to plug in halfway. Wu Chen directly refused.
"Your Excellency, the fifth-generation fighter is currently the best performing fighter in the world, and the airborne equipment and combat system are also the most advanced, we all know that the piloting difficulty of carrier-based aircraft is higher than that of road-based fighters, and the difficulty of piloting vertical take-off and landing fighters is higher than that of carrier-based aircraft, and it must go through a long period of training before it can perform its mission, and what the British Navy lacks now is time."
"If you agree to this request, you will receive the friendship of the British government and the military, which will be beneficial to the Golden Triangle Federation, which is about to hold the founding ceremony, and we will pay twice as much, even three times or four times as much, for the training of carrier-based aircraft pilots." The Chief of Staff of the Navy spoke with a slight hint of threat.
This is called coercion and inducement, Britain is a permanent member of the UN General Assembly Security Council, and has a veto on non-procedural issues, secondly, Britain is a traditional world military power, although it is declining, but it is not something that can be easily provoked, and there is also the support of the United States behind it, right?
Moreover, with the economic cooperation between the Golden Triangle Federation and European countries, with huge interests as an inducement, the EU is the world's largest economic entity, and the United Kingdom is a member of the European Union and has huge influence, and the Golden Triangle Federation should not ignore the role of the United Kingdom.
"Can I see Your Excellency's attitude as a threat to the Golden Triangle Federation and the Mercenaries?" Wu Chen said with a smile. The state interacts with the state, and he does everything he can to deceive, deceive, abduct, and deceive, but he will not be angry because of this.
"It's not a threat, it's a reminder, a reminder to be exact." said the Chief of Staff of the Navy. He was clearly rushing to the front to take the lead, and the Minister of Defense did not express his position, but he was chattering and arguing, a very conventional way of negotiating.
"In this way, since the British side thinks that it is a wrong decision to purchase the Shield Defender-2 single-seat single-engine stealth supersonic vertical take-off and landing all-weather fighter, I can cancel this order immediately, and your advance payment will be transferred to the designated account and will be received within twelve hours, do you think this way of handling is reasonable?" Wu Chen said lightly.
Damn, you can't do that! The chief of staff of the Navy was speechless for a moment, and was killed by Wu Chen's words in one fell swoop, a thousand words are not comparable to personality! The basis of your request is the purchase of fifth-generation fighters for the mercenary corps, so I simply won't play with you, it's always okay to cancel the order, right?
"The British side has no intention of canceling the order, Your Excellency misunderstood, the Chief of Staff is anxious about the future war crisis facing the United Kingdom, so the way he spoke is not considered, I can apologize to Your Excellency, but we really hope to get this opportunity, the last transaction between the aircraft carrier Invincible and a number of warships, the Navy took great care of Mr. Marcus, for which we lost hundreds of millions of dollars." Coercion and temptation can't be achieved, 0ns3v3
