One... In the sense of the second light, the flight sent by the fart blade was not a "second backup" by the thug Tian Yiyi, but a king-sized stimulant. Before the flight arrived in Buenos Aires, the Argentine news media became excited, following the example of the Western news media, and commented on the significance of these electronic devices to Argentina's defense forces.

The fighting spirit of the whole Argentina was quickly ignited, as if it was not a few pieces of electronic equipment used to modify old equipment, but some kind of "doomsday weapon" that could make Argentina a class power overnight, and the Argentine news media and people began to discuss the feasibility of recovering the Falklands.

There's nothing wrong with boosting morale, but it's not good to overdo it.

For a country that has not experienced the test of war for more than half a century, it is normal for them to make some mistakes when conducting war propaganda.

It wasn't until April 3 that Argentine officials began to rein in the somewhat carried away news media.

I have to say. There must be some force behind the scenes pointing at the Argentine government, otherwise the Argentine government would not have been able to restrain the news media so "just right". In just a few days, the Argentine news media covered enough news without touching on the core issues. There is even reason to believe that from the very beginning, the Argentine news media reported relevant news in a planned, regular and measured manner under the guidance of a certain force.

At this point, the most unstable person is US President Bran.

After responding to Wang Yuanqing's signal through the United Kingdom, Blandino originally thought that he could take this opportunity to find out Wang Yuanqing's hole cards, but he didn't expect that the opponent would respond to the signal from the United States through Argentina and kick the ball to Blandino's feet again.

The situation is very clear. Britain was preparing for war, and Argentina was preparing for war.

More importantly, Argentina is more active, and the decision on whether to resolve the Falklands dispute through a military conflict is in Argentina's hands. In other words, before the outbreak of war, Britain could only respond passively, not take the initiative. Since Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and Argentina is not a small country in decline half a century ago, Britain is likely to lose the war before it breaks out without foreign aid. Because the EU is an organization of states. When encountering major problems, it is difficult for individual member states to reach a consensus in a relatively short period of time, so only the United States can help the United Kingdom.

That's the trouble Blandino is in.

Although as president of the United States, Branbeno did not need to listen to the news media's commentary, but he was able to obtain more accurate and detailed information than any other news media. According to the information provided by the fourth, even if the report is not entirely true, there is no problem with the basic viewpoint, and the weapons and equipment sold to Argentina are very advanced, and they are all designed and produced for the actual needs of Argentina, so there is enough reason to believe that these weapons and equipment were designed and produced for the Falklands conflict, or for the British expeditionary fleet.

If that's the case. Britain is in danger.

In order to deal with Jiang Chu's problem, Brandino also specifically consulted Du Qiwei.

In Duchway's words: the main fighter of the British expeditionary fleet is the beginning, although the performance exceeds the first four of the Indian Air Force and the Navy, and the beginning of the United States Navy equipment is almost the same, mainly for the British Navy's equipment system, some supporting equipment has been improved, such as the replacement of the millimeter electromagnetic cannon with a 10,000-millimeter aircraft gun, but the overall technical level is not essentially different from the first four, is the fifth generation fighter in the "low-grade model" performance is far inferior to the heavy air control fighters such as stationed and Xiaojiu; Although the Argentine Air Force is a standard fourth-generation fighter, and the latest improved model is only four and a half generations, but it is equipped with advanced electronic equipment, especially the electronic equipment used to improve the fifth-generation fighter. If it can be improved in other aspects, Xiao Lao's comprehensive combat effectiveness will be close to that of Xiao Da and will have the strength to suppress Yu; Based on the experience of the Indian war. When engaged with heavy air superiority fighters, the first class of medium multirole fighters has no advantages at all; The use of ugly aircraft to accept the improvement of the "class" said, Xiaoduo and other relatively advanced fighters. The Argentine Air Force would gain an advantage in the battle for air supremacy and even be able to threaten the British expeditionary fleet with a surprise attack.

I love ugliness

Brandino did not understand military affairs, but he did not doubt Dudgway's military talents.

Although Du Qiwei's judgment of the situation is not as serious as it has been rumored, after all, modern warfare is not about a few kinds of advanced equipment, but about the entire military system, and no matter how advanced the fighters equipped with the passive detection system are, in the case of a limited number and no supporting forces, they can only have an impact on the war situation at most, just like the "Class Flag" fighters that used the "Exocet" anti-ship missiles many years ago, and it is impossible to change the outcome of the war. However, Duchway did not completely ignore the influence of the Republic on arms sales to Afghanistan. In addition to the old more than 10,000 tons of various military supplies transported by the "Poseidon", the impact of "military aid" on the morale of the Argentine military and civilians should not be underestimated.

According to Duchway's analysis, the main purpose of the Republic's move is threefold: first, to ignite the confidence and fighting spirit of the whole Argentine country, so that those Argentine soldiers and civilians who had hesitated on the issue of war before would believe that with the assistance of the Republic, Argentina will be invincible and can easily recover the Falklands. The second is to solve the urgent alliance of the Argentine army, and ask for a batch of advanced ammunition, so that those Argentine soldiers who had previously opposed it believe that the Republic is not the France of the past, and will definitely not choke its neck on the issue of arms sales; Third, through this move, it conveys a message that the weapons and equipment provided by the Republic to Argentina are very limited, and at most they can only support a small local conflict, which will not affect the hegemony of the United States in the Western Hemisphere, and does not want to lead to a large-scale regional war.

Undoubtedly, Brandino made the same judgment.

Putting aside all appearances, it can be seen that the Republic has been exerting its influence to put the situation in the South Atlantic in a very delicate state, that is, the intervention of the two major powers has not made the situation clear, but has made it more ambiguous, and no one can accurately judge the final outcome.

As a brilliant politician, Blandino knows very well why Wang Yuanqing did this.

If the intervention of the major powers makes the situation clearer, both the President of the United States and the President of the Republic will speculate on more extreme policies because their national interests have been damaged, causing the situation to deteriorate rapidly, causing the two major powers to confront each other directly, and eventually causing the situation to get completely out of control, turning a local conflict that would not have had much impact on the entire world pattern into a global war that will bring devastating disasters to the entire human civilization.

From the standpoint of safeguarding the national interest, Brandino will do the same.

As a matter of fact, the United States has not directly intervened in the Anglo-Argentine dispute so far in order to avoid escalating the conflict.

The problem is that Blandino must do everything in his power to protect American interests and not let the United States be harmed by the Anglo-Argentine conflict. In other words, if the Falklands conflict hurts U.S. interests, even if Blandino can tolerate it, those congressmen who serve interest groups will not tolerate it, and will try to force the president to take action, or even find ways to replace him with a new president.

With this in mind, Brandino couldn't have it any easier.

There is no doubt that before taking action, it is necessary to understand Wang Yuanqing's bottom line, that is, the maximum degree of involvement of the two major powers in the Falklands dispute. If this issue is not understood, even if both sides try to exercise restraint, there is a high risk that the conflict will escalate driven by national interests.

In fact, such problems were not uncommon in the Cold War.

For example, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Vietnam War in which the United States participated, and the Afghanistan War in which the Soviet Union participated, the two major powers drew their hands to clear the bottom line, so as not to escalate the war due to excessive involvement of one party.

If you want to figure out Wang Yuanqing's bottom line, the most direct and clear way is to call the hotline.

Of course, calling the hotline is also the stupidest way to go.

In Blan's view, as long as the White House sends a letter to the hotline to call, Wang Yuanqing will be able to guess the US president's thoughts without waiting for the two to officially talk on the phone, thus gaining an advantage in the highest-level contacts between the two countries, so that the US president has to make the greatest concessions.

I can't get through the hotline, so I have to find a way to send the signal out.

It has to be said that the American political system has helped Branzino a lot.

On April, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill urging the federal government to play a role in the increasingly tense South Atlantic dispute, which was subsequently approved by a vote in the Senate. It was delivered to Blandino's hands two days later, waiting for the president to sign it into force.

According to the American system, the president either signs the bill or exercises the right of veto.

There is no doubt that Blandino has no reason to veto the bill, which was drafted by Congress' Foreign Affairs Committee and the National Defense Committee, let alone miss the opportunity to send a signal to China.

On the 7th, Blandino officially signed the "Foreign Affairs Act" and instructed the Pentagon to implement the bill.

The US move immediately caused a major repercussion in the international community.

Not to mention that Al Jazeera and other news media have been staring at the United States, and even deleted the relevant report and mentioned that the US president's move is a direct response to the Republic's arms sales to Argentina, an action taken by the United States in response to the Falklands dispute, and a clear signal that the United States is about to intervene in the situation in the South Atlantic.

In a certain sense, the impact of the "Foreign-Related Act" is much greater than that of the "arms sales to Afghanistan."

According to the provisions of the Act, the U.S. federal government has the right and obligation to take appropriate actions to defend U.S. interests when allies with a stake in the United States are involved in regional conflicts, such as providing military assistance to allies, including intelligence, materiel, and noncombatants, without consulting Congress.

It can be seen that in addition to the fact that the direct sending of troops to the war requires congressional approval, the president has obtained incomplete authorization for the war.

I love the ugly heart

According to this bill, the United States can justifiably provide Britain with military intelligence, weapons and equipment, ammunition and even military personnel.

In fact, the U.S. did.

Less than four hours after Blandino signed the bill, the Pentagon transferred thousands of tons of ammunition stored at three British air bases, including hundreds of long-range missiles designed to attack military bases, and hundreds of state-of-the-art aviation anti-submarine torpedoes.

It's not the end, it's the beginning.

%, ten thousand

According to some information that was later announced, using the powers granted by the "Foreign Affairs Act," Blandino signed several presidential decrees related to British aid within a few days, and provided Britain with air-to-air missiles, concave ground-attack missiles, carrier-based defense missiles, old treble cruise missiles, and toothed precision-guided bombs in the form of "slave tons of munitions, as well as a large amount of equipment used to improve the original fighter planes." Although this aid accounted for only a small part of the war consumption, for Britain, which was actively preparing for war, the "selfless help" of the United States could not only alleviate the urgent need, but also boost morale, and played a role in fueling the tense situation in the South Atlantic, and it can even be said to be the last key factor in the Falklands conflict.

Of course, Brandino has not forgotten the main purpose of the move.

In a certain sense, the practical significance of US aid to Britain is to let the Republic know that the United States will not easily give up on Britain, let alone make concessions on the South Atlantic dispute, but the United States will not unilaterally expand the conflict, let alone intensify the conflict.

%, positive

From the list of aid to Britain, it can be seen that the materials provided by the United States are more an expression of the attitude of the United States.

If it is necessary to come out of reality, the United States must first provide Britain with shipborne air defense missiles, especially long-range air defense missiles for regional air defense and anti-missile defense, as well as ship-borne energy interception systems to enhance anti-missile capabilities. Based on the size of the British Navy and its peacetime equipment, it can be calculated that the British expeditionary fleet needs to replenish at least one of the second number of anti-aircraft missiles, while the United States only provides only one-third of the demand. Other assistance is insignificant. Mouth oo air-to-air missiles do not make much sense at all, since the British Navy carrier-based fighters mainly use domestic missiles, and there are quite a few stocks of them. The four land-attack missiles were also of little significance, as the British expeditionary fleet would not need them until air supremacy was seized. Tweeter cruise missiles are even more unreliable, as they are generally carried by bombers to destroy high-value strategic targets, and are rarely used in tactical operations.

Precision-guided bombs are even more dispensable, the British Navy does not lack such ammunition, and it is difficult to use in war.

The fact that the United States did not provide Britain with the weapons and ammunition that Britain needed most is enough to show the position of the United States.

In fact, Brandino was a little too cautious in this regard.

According to the situation at that time, what Britain needed most of all was not ammunition, but equipment. According to an investigation report submitted by the British Ministry of Defense to the Prime Minister at the end of March, if an expeditionary fleet is sent to the Falkland Islands, the most important thing to do is attack submarines, aircraft carriers, large surface warships, and carrier-based fighter jets. That is, the British Ministry of Defense believes that the combat losses will not be small, if the combat losses cannot be replenished in time. It will not be possible to win in the Falklands conflict. Among these equipment, in addition to the fact that Britain participated in the development of the first equipment in China, and thus obtained a production line, attack submarines and surface warships, including aircraft carriers, could not be put into service before the outbreak of the war, even if they could be built on their own, so they could only try to get help from the United States. According to the analysis of the British Ministry of Defense in the investigation report, the United States has mothballed a number of submarines, a Kan-class aircraft carrier and a number of large surface warships, all of which can be re-commissioned within a few months, although the performance of most of the mothballed ships has lagged behind, but they can still be used by the British Navy. More importantly, the U.S. mothballed ships have the same roots and ancestors as the ships in service of the British Navy in terms of technology and design, and there are not many differences in norms, and they can be quickly mastered by the officers and men of the British Navy and form combat effectiveness.

That is, what Britain wants, in fact, is the "second-hand equipment" of the United States.

For the United States, there was no political problem in sending the mothballed ships out of the United Kingdom. In other words, it is entirely up to the president to decide whether or not to supply Britain with second-hand equipment.

It can be seen that as long as Landino holds the last "front" in the year, he will not make a fuss about second-hand equipment. The conflict will not expand.

As a matter of fact, judging from the situation at that time, as long as the United States did not sell to Britain the aircraft carrier battle groups and attack submarines that were sufficient to change the strategic balance in the South Atlantic, even if it provided Britain with more ammunition and materials, even the most advanced ammunition, the Republic would not take the initiative to expand the scale of aid with Argentina, and at most would only sell more ammunition to Argentina.

Blandino's choice not only expresses the will of the United States, but also exposes the concerns of the United States.

In April, the day before the Poseidon arrived at the port of Buenos Aires, Pei Chengyi received a call from Liu Xiaobin in the morning, asking him to get ready for the stage. At noon, the Argentine president personally invited Pei Chengyi to the general staff of the Argentine armed forces to attend a military meeting to be held in the afternoon of the same day.

This time, Pei Chengyi did not refuse.

Although Pei Chengyi did not think that the Argentine military would change its attitude towards the military advisory group in just a few days without anything else, after talking to Liu Xiaobin on the phone, Pei Chengyi had to believe that if this opportunity was missed, the military advisory group would have no point in existing.

After lunch, Ji Chengyi called Dongfang Wen and the others out.

On the way to the General Staff of the Argentine three armed forces, Pei Chengyi changed his normal situation and discussed the work of the past few days with Dongfang Wen and several other major assistants.

I love the ugly heart

Obviously, Pei Chengyi was a little nervous.

There is only one reason why the number one commander of the republic is so nervous: it is not only the transport ship "Poseidon" that is about to arrive in the Argentine capital, which is carrying a large number of munitions and supplies, but also a force that has never been exposed to the air and is powerful enough for the Argentine authorities to make war decisions.

The republic has picked up the pace, and war is coming.
