Zhi's question was Buyouno's question After receiving the information sent by Four, Blandino immediately called Dudgway over. The views of the two are completely identical. This is a message deliberately released by the Military Intelligence Agency, not to warn the United States and Britain, but to make the United States and Britain prepared and not to make a fuss about what will happen next. At Dugway's suggestion, Blandino asked four to put this "very important piece of information." The two did not ignore the more important question, that is, what kind of response the British authorities would take after receiving this information.

For Blandino and Duchway, the most important issue is not the question.

There was more than one piece of information sent by the fourth, but there was also another piece of information that was not transmitted, namely, a few days earlier, an important person of the Military Intelligence Agency had gone to the Falklands, stayed in the Falklands for two days, and then stayed for half a day after returning to Argentina, and then got up and returned to the Republic.

In the beginning. Brandino thinks it's also a trick on the part of the MIA.

Fortunately, Du Qiwei was not so careless, and after reading the intelligence, he immediately concluded that this was not a deliberate release of information by the Military Intelligence Agency, but intelligence in the real sense.

Blandino can ignore anyone's opinion, but he doesn't ignore Dudgway's view.

To know. Blade years, except for a very few politicians. The only American who could guess the strategic intentions of the republic was Duchway. What's more, Dudgway was not a born politician, but an out-and-out military man. To be able to have a vision comparable to that of a politician is enough to prove Dudgway's ability.

Following Dugway's suggestion, Branpenau called Four on the spot and asked Four to provide more detailed information

It didn't take long for the uranium to be sent "more detailed information, because the intelligence source is very unique, and it can only be confirmed that it is among the personnel who accompanied the MIA bigwigs to the Falklands." It is quite possible that there are several geologists, that is, the Military Intelligence Agency is very interested in the rare metal deposits of the Falklands, and as for the specifics, the four are still investigating.

No more information is needed, these are sufficient.

This time, without the help of Duchway, Brandino would be able to understand the meaning of this piece of information.

What's more, both Brandino and Duchway have very rich associative abilities.

The question is. After thinking about it, the two didn't come up with a name.

The Republic sent mercenaries to help Argentina seize Stanley Airport. Then the MIA bigwig went to the Falklands with a group of geologists and maybe took some samples with them, and then the MIA used the phrase "no declaration." to tell the adversary that the Republic has sent military forces to the theater of operations, and to declare that the Republic will not allow Argentina to be defeated. The Argentine authorities were also very active, immediately stating that they would follow in the footsteps of the Republic by sending another increase in troops to the Falklands.

What does all this mean?

Isn't the standard company's exploration report right, there are really incredible reserves of rare metals on the Falklands?

Hide?

While Blandino and Duchway share a lot of things in common, they have very different views on the subject.

In Bran's view, if the Falklands are really "treasury." "There is absolutely no reason for the republic to "gain an inch". With his understanding of Wang Yuanqing, he can't give up Falklands no matter what. And the republic does not have the ability to intervene in the South Atlantic, and must concentrate on solving domestic problems, and under the influence of several major factors, such as the need for the country to recuperate and recuperate, it will definitely adopt the "post-system". way, never ostentatious. According to Blandino's estimate, with Wang Yuanqing's ability, it is easy to secretly help Argentina win. Of course, there must be a precondition for this to happen, that is, Wang Yuanqing must not prematurely fade out of the political arena of the republic, and at least stay in Yuan's position for a few more months, so as to have an impact on political reform. The problem is that if the Falklands really have rare metal deposits on the Falklands that are worth sending troops to the republic, the impact of Wang Yuanqing's stay in the Yuan Mansion for a few more months will have on the republic. It is certainly far inferior to another war, and it is a war with little chance of winning.

In order to prove his point, Blandino also stood in Wang Yuanqing's position.

With a more advanced theory of the geological formation of rare metal ores, the geologists of the Republic must have conducted a long-term study of the Falklands with the relevant data published by Western countries, and determined that there are amazing reserves of rare metal deposits on the Falklands. Because it was related to the fundamental interests of the country, Wang Yuanqing did not listen to the words of the geologists one-sidedly, but grasped them with both hands, allowing the military intelligence bureau and other intelligence agencies to collect more information while strengthening his control over Argentina. As the investigation deepened, the military intelligence bureau successively obtained some relatively reliable information, which gradually proved the judgment of geologists. During this period, Wang Yuanqing also used various ways to encourage Argentina's determination to fight, and finally made a commitment to Theron at the London summit. The next thing is obvious, taking advantage of the opportunity to sell arms to Argentina, Wang Yuanqing first sent Pei Chengyi over to help Argentina integrate national defense and military forces, and even helped Argentina plan a military operation to recover the Falklands. After successfully landing on the Falklands, the director or deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau personally took geologists to confirm the situation, but Wang Yuanqing was greatly disappointed. The judgment of geologists is wrong, and there are no rare metal deposits on the Falklands that are worth impressing, or even worthwhile, mining. The question is. The republic is already trapped in it. Returning hastily, even if Argentina is not defeated, it will part ways with the republic; Keep up the stick. Even if Argentina wins, it won't gain much. None of them. The Falklands have become chicken ribs. In order to drop this piece of chicken ribs. And it is a piece of chicken that is justifiable, Wang Yuanqing does not direct a good show by himself, and the ultimate goal is only one, that is, to let the opponent treat this piece of chicken ribs as a treasure, and then fight for it desperately. Although the Republic will not let go immediately, as long as the United States and Britain are desperate, the Republic will have a reason to let go, and it is a reason to be supported by the international community and convincing Argentina.

It can be said that Blandino is convinced that his judgment is not wrong.

There is only one reason why he is so determined: Wang Yuanqing is definitely the best director in the political arena, and the good drama directed by him has already wiped out Japan, devastated India, and embarrassed the United States. The next target is the UK, and the results will certainly not be far behind.

While Brandino is assertive, Dudgway is not the kind of politician who goes with the flow.

When the president was stubborn, Duchway did not budge.

In Dudgway's view, the Falklands are indeed "treasury" republics, and instead of maneuvering, they have adopted the trick of "trying to cover up". Although just as the United States cannot confront the Republic in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, and cannot challenge the hegemony of the Republic in Southeast Asia and South Asia, the Republic is not capable of confronting the United States in the South Atlantic Ocean or challenging the hegemony of the United States in Latin America, it does not mean that the Republic is incapable of intervening in the Falklands conflict and changing the outcome of the Falklands conflict. The reason is simple. The Falklands conflict is just a conflict, out of American interests. Conflict must not be allowed to turn into war. Restricted by special geographical factors, the Falklands conflict was a naval battle similar to the East China Sea War, in which the air force and navy were mainly used to compete for air and sea supremacy over the Falklands, and victory was achieved by striking at the other side's military strength and making the other side lose the ability to intervene militarily, and neither of the belligerents would attack the other side's homeland. In such a case, the Republic, in addition to providing Argentina with military assistance, including intelligence, equipment, technology and personnel, may also be declared "without declaration. In this case, the submarine with hidden whereabouts plays an extremely crucial role in the war. To know. The Republic has the most advanced attack submarines in the world, as well as the largest and most combat-ready underwater fleet in the world. Because the third military reform involves institutional issues, replacing the "military region system" with the "theater system," the establishment of the republican ** force is rather chaotic, and even if a few submarines are lost in the secret intervention operation, as long as the aftermath can be handled well, it will not cause too much trouble.

Duchway did not conduct a comprehensive analysis of the situation, as Blanche did. But his logic is clearer.

In Dugway's view, there is one thing that Brandino cannot deny in any way, that is, all the actions of the Republic against the Falklands conflict are carried out through intelligence agencies and unofficial forms, and the official authorities of the Republic have never intervened, or even commented much on the Falklands conflict. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the basis of Du Qiwei's argument is not important, but if you think about it carefully, you can see that this point just negates the basis of Blandino's argument, that is, what happened was not directed by Wang Yuanqing behind the scenes, and the real director is likely to be Li Cunxun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, or Pei Chengyi, a military adviser to Afghanistan. No matter who it is, as long as it is not Wang Yuanqing's thug Blandino's argument is not valid, and his conclusion is not valid?

The problem is that Dugway's argument is not without loopholes, but with an irreparable loophole that cannot be proven in any way that the Falklands are a staggering deposit of rare metals. It is for this reason that, while insisting on his own opinion, Dugway does not emphasize whether the Falklands have enough resources to change the fate of mankind. Rather, it emphasized the impact of the Falklands dispute on the international situation, that is, the serious consequences of Britain's loss of the Falklands.

I have to admit it. After more than a decade in Washington, D.C., Dudgway learned a lot. In the old years, Dudgway would certainly "reason" with the president in the purest military way. ”

Purely logically. Duchway did take advantage of the dagger. In fact, aside from the scarce resources that may exist, the United States cannot allow Britain to be the first domino to fall from the perspective of strategic significance and strategic impact alone. In other words, the United States can lose Japan, it can keep a low profile of India, and it can even lose the Philippines, but it cannot afford to lose Britain, let alone afford the chain reaction of losing Britain.

As national security adviser, Mr. Dudgway would not be so stupid as to fight the president to the death.

After Blandino understood, Duchway stopped insisting on thugs and waited for the president to make a move

Plan.

On the other hand, Brando's is also the most "enlightened" president of the United States in recent years.

Affirming that Dugway's judgment was more reasonable, Brandino not only did not continue to insist on his opinion, but also fully adopted Dugway's suggestion, that is, to pull the "sounding balloon" released by the Republic without allowing the situation to deteriorate. "Expressing the national will of the United States and affirming the national interests of the United States. Downto the specifics. It was to engage more frequently with the British, to provide the British with a higher level of assistance, and to make limited military preparations.

It was at this time. British Prime Minister George went into action.

Bran did not miss this opportunity, and while ordering the ambassador to Britain and the highest military representative to Britain to express the most sincere friendship and the strongest relationship to Britain in the form of an audience with the British king, he arranged for the secretary to go to the airport to meet the British envoy, and more importantly, let Dudgway have full authority to handle military affairs in place of the president.

Because the Minister of Defense was recommended by Du Qiwei, Du Qiwei is the owner of the Five-Self Building.

Of course, Dudgway will not stay in Washington to command American troops

That evening, when Blandino met with the special envoy at the White House, Blandino's permission was obtained. Dudgway flew to Pensalaco, located in the southern part of the United States, northwest Florida, where the headquarters of the United States Marine Corps is located. It is also home to the U.S. Atlantic Theater Command, and is home to the Fourth Fleet Command, which began to command all U.S. forces in the Western Hemisphere as the president's specially appointed military commander.

I have to admit it. Dudgway does have the guts.

Although in the eyes of some insiders, one of the most critical reasons why Duchway is so active, in addition to fulfilling his duties, is that he has been ashamed.

You know, Dudgway has only been defeated once, and only to one person.

To put it mildly, the disastrous defeat in the Korean War made Duchway "suddenly have an epiphany" and realize that it was not the US soldiers on the battlefield who could lead the United States to victory, but the American politicians in Washington. It was this realization that made Du Qiwei decide to "abandon Rong and follow the text." "Spent one-sixth of his life in precious time to complete the turnaround from America's best soldier. Transform into America's most astute politician. From a personal standpoint, to make such a difficult effort, Duchway had only one goal, and that was to overcome that line. The opponent who once made him lose to a mess, whether as a soldier or as a politician, only by defeating that opponent can prove that all these years of hard work have not been in vain.

But when you look at it, you can see that Du Qiwei is by no means the kind of politician who can give up everything for personal interests, but a soldier with great ideals and an indomitable will.

Perhaps no one believes that after becoming a national security adviser, Du Qiwei still carries a handful of ... Lead a.

For this gun, Dudgway also had a big fight with the White House Secret Service, and in the end, it was Bran who forced Ran to come forward and revise the rules and regulations of the Secret Service in the name of the president, so that Dudgway could sit in the Oval Office of the White House with a gun as a civilian to discuss national affairs with the president. This catty. A small gesture can prove that Du Qiwei is not only a soldier, but also a soldier with a strong sense of crisis. What's more, this sense of crisis has nothing to do with him personally. Rather, it is his sense of crisis for the country and the future of the nation. It is not difficult to see what Du Qiwei did after he became the president's special military adviser, and this military man with a distinctive personality is not only a hawk with great political acumen and a sense of struggle, but also has been unremittingly defending the national interests of the United States. Understand this. It should be known that Duchway is definitely not a "politician with a gun" but an out-and-out "iron-fisted politician".

No doubt. Dudgway would never encourage the president to intervene in the Falklands conflict for the sake of personal vendettas.

In fact, Dudgway never agitated the president to intervene in the conflict.

I have to admit it. Du Qiwei's first concern is Pei Chengyi, not that there is a way to defeat Pei Chengyi. It's about what kind of variables this general, who has never failed, will bring to the Bow Island conflict.

It's a pity. Dudgway was not an intelligence officer and did not know much about intelligence work.

When he had to figure out Pei's place in the Falklands conflict, intelligence agencies, including uranium, were unable to provide him with much help.

Of course, Dudgway is not an idiot.

After the outbreak of war. With the annihilation of the Argentine fleet north of the Falklands, Du Qiwei once doubted whether it was Pei Chengyi who was commanding the Argentine army, and therefore suspected that Pei Chengyi was not too strong, which made the Argentine authorities have some concerns, so they did not dare to let him command the Argentine army to fight. The problem is that there is no intelligence to prove that Dudgway's guess is correct. What's more, intelligence soon confirmed that a British submarine that had ambushed the Argentine convoy was missing in the warring waters. Although there is still no evidence that it was the Republic's submarine that sank the British submarine, Du Qiwei has enough reason to believe that it is very likely that Pei Chengyi deliberately used it to deal with the British submarine's combat operation, that is, the delivery of supplies was fake, and the killing of the British submarine was real. When the Argentine authorities once again announced in a high-profile manner that they would send troops and supplies to Mau, Du Qiwei immediately concluded that this was Pei Chengyi's arrangement, and in addition to testing Britain's confidence to determine whether there were still British submarines in the waters off the Falklands, the main purpose was to paralyze the British authorities and start sending troops and supplies to the Falklands.

After a toss. Du Qiwei was also not sure about Pei Chengyi's individual position.

In this case. Du Qiwei had to plan for the worst, that is, it was Pei Chengyi who commanded the Afghan army to fight, and Pei Chengyi had the full support of the Military Intelligence Agency and the General Staff. Most of the combat operations were deployed by Pei Chengyi.

If that's the case. Durnianway would have to pray for the British task force.

Although Pei Chengyi is not a naval general, no one doubts his ability. More importantly, Pei Chengyi has no shortage of staff officers who are proficient in naval warfare, and it is even possible to get higher-level support. Don't say anything else. It has been confirmed that after Lin Xiaolei went to take charge of the work of the General Staff, it was not Hua Jianfeng, who was most likely to be the commander of the Navy, who remained at the Navy Command, but Rear Admiral Yang Jinjie, chief of staff of the Naval Aviation. In other words, Lieutenant General Hua Jianfeng has not appeared in public for a long time, and the place where he is most likely to appear is Argentina.

All indications point to a much worse situation in the South Atlantic than imagined.

Duchway did not dare to be careless, because he knew that this conflict would determine not only the future of the United States, but also his future.
