Chapter 25: Towards War

; However, there is no "legend" that the strength of the brick can not be underestimated, and one of the prestigious Western intelligence agencies has a long history. [No pop-up novel network] also has good strength. Citations to the beginning of the century. The intelligence provided by the United States to attack Afghanistan and Iraq was "a great credit." Because of the close relationship with the four. You can get a lot of special information. It is also heavily influenced by the United States.

There is no secret that Argentina is actively preparing for the war.

Pei Chengyi has just come out of Beijing. Before arriving in Buenos Aires, information was received. A war alert was immediately issued to the British government. Later, Mason 3 received the support provided by the four, and learned that the Argentine authorities had officially hired Pei Chengyi as the top military adviser. Although this piece of information does not tell the story, because for twenty years. Argentina has always hired military advisers from the Republic, but in Qu's view, Pei Chengyi's trip to Argentina could not be clearer as a signal of war. You know, in the past 2o years, Argentina has hired either retired generals or ordinary officers, and has never hired active generals. has not invited a "general" like Cheng Yi

Because Pei Chengyi has never participated in the modernization of the armed forces, and his most outstanding talent is the ability to command operations, for the purpose of national defense modernization, Argentina has no reason to spend a huge amount of money to hire Pei Chengyi as a military adviser. All indications are that Argentina is preparing for war, and Pei Chengyi's real identity is not a military adviser, but a "war adviser." There is even reason to believe that if the war breaks out, it will definitely not be the Argentine generals who will command the Argentine army, but Pei Chengyi.

With preconceived notions. Naturally, there is a shift in the overlook of intelligence.

Seemingly. The transition of power in the republic is not a major issue at all. I have always thought that it is the same as Tian's point of view. Wang Yuanqing will definitely not fight a battle that he is not sure of. Although the "Constitutional Amendment Movement. It looks difficult, but with all the advantages in hand, it is only a matter of time before Wang Yuanqing wins the final victory. What's more, no matter how much effort a foreign intelligence agency like Masonry 3 makes. None of them can have an impact on the political situation in the republic. Neither the thugs nor the others will gain anything. There is no reason to pay in vain.

In fact, more attention has been paid to the Republic's arms sales contracts to Afghanistan.

Although there is enough evidence to prove that when attending the London conference. Wang Yuanqing had private contact with Theron and made a promise to a certain extent, but it was difficult to sleep. After more than a few months of hard work. It is still not clear what kind of promise Concubine Wang Yuan made

It seems that it is not the Seys who decide the situation in the South Atlantic. It's Wang Yuanqing.

To be precise, Wang's commitment will have a decisive impact on Theron's decision-making.

It wasn't until 10,000 days that there was a little harvest. Let people. I am very dissatisfied. The intelligence turned out to be coming from public sources.

At noon on the same day, a member of the Military Committee of the Plenary Assembly of the Republic mentioned in an interview with reporters that the Military Committee was in the process of examining and approving the arms sales contract submitted by the Yuan Government because it involved a number of secrecy regulations. Therefore, the examination and approval work will last for several days, and it can only be submitted to the plenary congress at the beginning of next year at the earliest. Since the main task of this plenary session is to complete the election of the general government, the consideration of other bills will be postponed until the end of March. In other words, the arms sales contract to Afghanistan can only be approved by the end of March at the earliest.

There is no doubt that this receiver reveals a lot of important information.

First, the arms sales contract is unlikely to enter into force before the end of March. According to the most optimistic estimates. The weapons and equipment involved in the contract will be shipped at Langdi, that is, immediately after the contract officially enters into force. Argentina can only be reached as soon as mid-tomorrow. With the previous dressing degree of the Afghan army. At the earliest, combat effectiveness can only be formed by the end of June. That is, if Argentina intends to start a war after getting the purchased weapons and equipment. It will also have to wait until the second half of the year.

The second is that there is a high risk that arms sales contracts will be curtailed. Although Argentina is one of the most important allies of the Republic, in order to prevent advanced technology from falling into the hands of potential enemy countries, the Republic has long established strict technology export regulations and imposed strict restrictions on the export of various advanced technologies, including military technology. In other words, whenever it comes to advanced technology that is prohibited for export, arms sales contracts are either rejected or curtailed.

Finally, the scale of the arms sales contract must be very staggering, if it is only the official announcement of Argentina, this time the main procurement of spare parts. There won't be too many secrecy regulations, and there won't even be strict approval by the military committee. More importantly, the secrecy regulations must be advanced weapons and equipment. Instead of selling spare parts for weapons and equipment. That is, Argentina has procured a large number of advanced weapons and equipment!

After reaching these three conclusions, a war alert was again issued to the Downing Street thug O that night.

According to the predictions, if the republic completes the transition of power smoothly. The deliberations related to the general elections were completed within a month, and Argentina was to launch a surprise attack in July, invading the Falkland Mountains; Argentina will postpone military action if there are difficulties in the transition of power in the Republic, or if other factors affect the arms trade, but there is a very high possibility that war will start within the year. On the basis of this prediction, Chi put forward a proposal that while actively preparing for war, it should influence the Republic's arms sales to Afghanistan through effective actions. prevent Argentina from acquiring more advanced weaponry; If war cannot be avoided, efforts should be concentrated on gathering war-related intelligence. Strive to master the battle plan of the Afghan army.

Because it is

one"; "Hua Xiaoling's information was reported, so there was no mention of the specific actor

It can be said that "the worries are not groundless.

As is customary, foreign arms sales are not worth secrecy. Although it was a special period, there have been similar situations in the past, such as the sale of a batch of weapons and equipment to Iran at the beginning of the following year, and there was no such strict secrecy at that time. What is more worthy of attention is that this is a "big change" rather than a "small change". While the general election was the main topic of discussion, Wang Yuanqing still did not forget the arms sales to Afghanistan, which is enough to prove the importance of arms sales and also to prove the huge and powerful relationship behind the arms sales.

From the standpoint, there is enough reason to believe that the republic is creating a war.

I have to admit that the intelligence services are genuine believers in conspiracy theories. There are few tenant drying factories in Bashan, new readers, and many employees

Presumably. Wang Yuanqing's promotion of arms sales to Afghanistan at this time has an ulterior secret. Because the whole world is paying attention to the general election of the republic, especially after Wang Yuanqing threw out the "constitutional amendment", all the news media believe that the republic will concentrate on resolving domestic contradictions for a long time, so it is unable to play a greater role in the international community, let alone create trouble for its opponents. The main purpose of Wang Yuanqing's actions was to reduce the vigilance of his opponents and make them think that the Republic was not a threat. At this time, arms sales to Argentina can be regarded as a "defensive measure", that is, to minimize the impact of domestic contradictions on foreign policy, so that many allies will not be implicated.

If you really think so. That would be a big mistake.

Regardless of whether the republic is in the "post-Wang Yuanqing era." In adjusting the basic strategy, will we concentrate our efforts on resolving domestic contradictions? Wang Yuanqing has every reason to create a more ideal external environment for the republic. Although Britain is not the United States, and Britain has never pursued a policy of opposition to the Republic, Britain is an ally of the United States. In the absence of a direct confrontation between the Republic and the United States, it is undoubtedly the best option to contain the United States by striking at its allies. Other words. Wang Yuanqing had enough reason to cause trouble for Britain.

Following this logic, Wang Yuanqing's promotion of arms sales to Argentina at this time is to use the general election of the republic to make the outside world ignore this arms trade, which is enough to change the strategic balance of the South Atlantic, and encourage Argentina to start a war.

Judging by the clarity, Wang Yuanqing had almost no concerns when making a decision. In other words, if Argentina wins in a future war. Because Wang Yuanqing approved the arms sales contract, he will become a hero worshiped by Argentines; If Argentina loses the war, he will not have to take responsibility because he is already out of office by then. Although there is reason to believe that Wang Yuanqing will not leave an uncontrollable mess for the next government, "Wang also has reason to believe that before leaving office, Wang Yuanqing will definitely make relevant arrangements." In other words, the Republic had enough determination and perseverance to support Argentina in winning the war.

It can be seen from this that arms sales to Afghanistan are an earth-shattering conspiracy by Wang Yuanqing himself.

Of course, it must be recognized that the focus of the republic remains at home, not on the South Atlantic at the other end of the region.

Beijing time flies in the morning. The Plenum began its deliberations on the "Constitutional Amendments." Grass.

In accordance with the relevant provisions, the period of review. Each delegate has a minute to elaborate on his or her point of view, and only needs to sign a joint name to propose amendments. If everything is done according to the rules, the whole process of deliberation will be very long, not to mention that it will take days, even months of discussion is normal.

The problem is that it can't drag on for months.

After the discussion began, Wang Yuanqing, in his capacity as head of the central group, proposed the establishment of a "Constitutional Amendment Committee," which would have full authority to preside over the deliberation of the draft "Constitutional Amendment," and that all deputies should have the right to submit a motion for amendment to the committee and express their views through the committee. In addition, the committee is responsible for soliciting public opinions.

While the draft "Constitutional Amendment" is very important, other matters cannot be delayed.

After voting, the plenary session adopted Wang Yuanqing's proposal, and Gu Weimin, Yan Jingyu, Ye Zhisheng, and others jointly submitted the "List of Members of the Constitutional Amendment Committee." In the afternoon of the same day, with the standard approval of the plenary congress, the "Constitutional Amendment Committee" was composed of Wang Yuanqing as chairman, Gu Weimin and Yan Jingyu as vice chairmen, and other pseudonymous representatives. Officially

Before adjourning the session, Wang Yuanqing submitted a new draft law, the Amendment to the Election Law.

This move is not surprising, since amending the electoral law is a precondition for amending the constitution by referendum

Because it was too late, at the suggestion of Gu Weimin, the "Amendment to the Election Law" began to be deliberated on the morning of the next day.

As in previous days, the official press of the Republic gave a comprehensive and detailed report on the proceedings of the day's meetings in the evening. This book comes to the book bar to look at the tenant pay, and the members collect the fu

The "constitutional amendment movement" was the beginning, and there was no other way for the republic to move forward but to move on.

It was also on this day that Terrón signed a presidential decree on the number of thugs, in addition to a series of military appointments, and also appointed Pei Chengyi as an "adviser on the construction of Argentine defense forces". Compared with the "Supreme Military Advisor", the most important feature of the new title is that Pei Chengyi not only has the right to give opinions and suggestions to the Argentine military, but will also participate in the construction of the Argentine army as a paramilitary. In other words, Bae Chengyi will be in the capacity of a "special presidential envoy". Gain real power provided by Theron. Although according to Theron's arrangement, Pei Chengyi still cannot play in the construction of Argentina's national defense forces like the generals of the Argentine army

“;“ As long as Theron does not object, Pei Chengyi has the right to make adjustments to the construction of the Afghan army. Other words. Bae Chengyi is exercising the power of the Argentine president, not the Argentine military.

There is no doubt that this arrangement is not trivial.

In terms of evaluation, we can doubt the combat effectiveness of the Argentine army, and we must not doubt Pei Chengyi's military talent.

For the Argentine army, what is needed is a "general" like Pei Chengyi. ”

In the words of Sky TV's comments when reporting the news: the appointment of the Argentine president paved the way for Pei Chengyi to command the Argentine army to fight; As Pei Chengyi plays a more prominent role in the Argentine army, Argentina's enthusiasm for the war will be greatly encouraged, so that Argentina will make a major strategic decision that is enough to change the regional situation and drag hundreds of millions of people in the two countries into the abyss of war.

Of course. Information that is not made public is more important than information that is publicly available.

After accepting the appointment of the Argentine president, Pei Chengyi received a call from Li Cunxun, and the military intelligence agency had received a request from the Argentine intelligence service and was actively contacting the veterans. Although subject to conditions. Li Cunxun didn't say too much detail on the phone, and he didn't mean to accuse Pei Chengyi, but according to what he meant, Argentina's recruitment of mercenaries in the Republic would definitely cause trouble, so Pei Chengyi had to make relevant preparations. The MIA will provide the necessary assistance.

What kind of trouble is, Pei Chengyi knows very well in his heart.

Although there is no international law that restricts the country of origin of mercenaries, only the rights of mercenaries. That is, mercenaries do not enjoy the rights provided for in the openness of war. But in the struggle of the great powers. In order to avoid exacerbating the conflict, mercenaries are still rarely involved. Among other things, during the war in India, although the United States provided assistance to India to the best of its ability. It even sent a small military advisory group to assist the Indian army in the war, but the United States did not send mercenaries to the battlefield like the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, and the Iran war. The reason is simple. Provide military assistance. It belongs to normal exchanges between countries, just like the republic can justifiably send Pei Chengyi to Argentina, while sending mercenaries is an "unkind" behavior, which is out of the category of competition between countries. It's like using weapons of mass destruction in war. If the republic breaks the unwritten rules, the adversary can retaliate with the same measures, the situation will get out of control, and local conflicts may turn into regional wars.

Merely. Pei Chengyi has not yet had the energy to think about this issue.

In his opinion. Because the Falklands War has great peculiarities. The proportion of ground combat is not large, mainly air combat and sea combat, so the impact of mercenaries on the war will not be too great, and it is unlikely to change the basic attitude of the warring parties. More importantly, for Britain to win, it must first defeat Argentina in the air and at sea, and then it will be the turn to counterattack the Falklands. Due to the limitations of the mode of engagement, it was difficult for the Argentine air force and navy to obtain mercenaries, and even if mercenaries participated in air and sea battles, they would not leave much control for the opponent, so it was difficult for Britain to obtain conclusive evidence of mercenaries participating in the war. In this way, even if Britain is convinced that there are republicans participating in the fighting, as long as the British government does not want to expand the scale of the conflict, it will not rashly take targeted action.

For Pei Chengyi, the top priority is to complete the Argentine president's instructions.

As a "double advisor Pei Chengyi weekly" extra. Up to 10,000 pesos of milk is about 10,000 yuan. The so-called taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Even if he is in professional ethics, Pei Chengyi should do something practical for Argentina and help Theron solve practical problems.

For Argentina at this time, what is most needed is good soldiers.

No doubt. For the republic. The most important thing is to have excellent soldiers.

What's more, a large number of veterans need jobs, and jobs they are familiar with.

is the so-called Ran Yu hitting the apple cover. One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer.

In Pei Chengyi's opinion. Helping Argentina recruit a few hundred mercenaries from the Republic is not a big deal at all, as long as it is not overkill.

Of course. Pei Chengyi still thinks about the problem too simply.

As he originally thought. It is only necessary to recruit a group of "commandos", that is, retired servicemen of the Airborne Forces, to form a battalion-sized air assault force to carry out the most critical assault missions for the Afghan army when the war breaks out. The problem is that the military intelligence agency in charge of this matter thinks a little seriously and thinks that the state of the Argentine army is too bad, so Pei Chengyi will think of recruiting mercenaries. What's more. The thug who specifically handled this matter "Huaan Company." That is, the security company where Kang Xiaoting is the boss intends to make a lot of money in Argentina.

No doubt. Without Pei's control, the situation is quietly changing.

Lang Dao Day. Kang Xiaoting arrived in Buenos Aires to fight. Consultant supervisor involved in the negotiation of security assistance contracts.

Although Pei Chengyi did not have much personal relationship with Kang Xiaoting, after receiving the news, he still decided to meet Kang Xiaoting alone. In any case, everyone serves Argentina and can be considered "comrades". It's better to get in touch sooner rather than to clean up the mess later.

As a matter of fact. There is no need for Pei Chengyi to worry about it, someone has already arranged these things for him.

That same evening. A person Pei Chengyi didn't want to see disrupted his normal routine. Until this time. Pei Chengyi realized that the situation was not in his control at all.
