"The Americans completely abandoned us." In the Argentine capital, Galtieri's eyes were full of anger as he listened to the words of his men. He is the best friend of the United States in South America, and the United Kingdom is the best American in Europe. Friends, in the worst case, it should be that the two are not helping each other.
However, he never expected that the Americans would actually support the British in this way.
The Americans severely criticized Argentina in terms of diplomacy. At the same time, they also called on all of Europe to impose an arms embargo. For a country with almost no domestic military strength, Argentina would be greatly restricted.
"France has stopped its contract with our super ensign fighters. We will not get this batch of fighters and supporting flying fish missiles until the Falklands issue ends." At this moment, the navy commander next to us said.
Seeing that the British might really come over, they are anxious. After all, although they don't believe that the British really dare to take the lead, they have to be prepared after all.
Now they realized that they didn't even have a decent weapon at hand.
In history, the British navy suffered a lot of losses, almost all of them were killed by the flying fish missiles, and the flying fish missiles were carried by the flagship aircraft of the Super Army.
The Argentine planes and missiles were purchased in 1981, but now, they have not had time to buy them. They had originally spotted the opportunity. The British did not take precautions and simply settled the dispute. Who would have thought that the United Kingdom How dare people actually come
Without anti-ship missiles, do they rely on bombs? That effect is too bad.
At this moment, someone from outside suddenly came in and reported: "President, there are a few Soviets asking for a meeting."
Soviets? Hearing this, Galtieri was very strange.
The relationship between Argentina and the Soviets is not good. In international affairs, Argentina always believes in the United States, and firmly follows the United States, which is adding chaos to the Soviets. Now, the Soviets are actually here
Galtieri's heart is very strange, but at this time, it is not convenient for him to issue an eviction order.
"Invite them in," Galtieri said.
Soon people from outside came in.
The Soviet ambassador to Argentina Krichkov, military attache Glevich, and several others he did not know.
"Mr. President, we heard that you have been abandoned by the United States." Krichkov came up and said like this, which of course made Galtieri angry.
However, he still has no way to deny it. That's right, the Americans have made it public internationally. They want to defend Britain with all their strength, and of course they want to abandon Argentina. This is simply too angry.
"The British navy is about to expedition. With your military level, we think it will not be easy to defeat the British navy." At this moment, a young guy on the other side spoke.
"What do you mean by that?" Galtieri's face was dark.
"The British have three aircraft carriers, can carry 80 Tomcat carrier aircraft, and can build a defense zone of at least 200 kilometers. Argentina’s current fighters cannot even get close to them within 200 kilometers. How can the Argentine Navy repel them? British Navy?" The young man continued.
This young man, Andrei, came to Argentina after receiving Andropov’s arrangement. He knew that it was not easy to persuade Argentina and wanted to draw them to his own camp. It is not easy, but he must try.
These words are ugly, but the other party must accept this reality. Argentina was abandoned by the United States. Only the Soviet Union can save Argentina. "As long as you are willing, we can export to you weapons, which are definitely more advanced than the Super Banner and Flying Fish missiles, so that you have the ability to attack British aircraft carrier formations at long distances." Andre continued.
History has changed a lot. Who would have thought that the British would have collected three aircraft carriers, and they can also be equipped with Tomcat carrier aircraft. Argentina wants to win, it is much more difficult than in history, if not The Soviet Union’s help is even more difficult to even think about.
"Why should I believe you?" Galtieri asked suddenly.
If he accepts military assistance from the other side, then there is no doubt that his country’s national policy needs to be fully surrendered to the Soviet Union. He cannot accept it psychologically. Even though he has been abandoned by the United States, he does not want to fall into the arms of the Soviet Union. He is definitely not. The kind of people who are going around.
Hearing what the other party said, Andrei knew that he had been tempted, and now, as long as he clarified one other thing, the other party would fall into the arms of the Soviet Union with all his heart.
"Argentina's economy is in trouble, and inflation is as high as 600%. This means that the country's economy has collapsed and the government has gone bankrupt. Do you know why this is?" Andre suddenly changed the subject.
The reason why Argentina launched this war, in addition to the right external environmental conditions, another important point is Argentina’s severe domestic inflation and the economy is about to collapse. The only way to divert the attention of the domestic people is by launching a war outside. Up.
They were very successful, and the people immediately felt that they could accept it, and they had a sense of national pride.
So, what are the reasons for their economic problems
"Argentina is rich in agriculture, mineral natural resources, rich in grains and beef, and exported to all parts of the world. It used to be one of the richest countries in Latin America. But now, this country is on the verge of a dead end. It was caused by Washington," Andre said.
When Andre said this, the other party was taken aback: "What? It was caused by Washington?"
Andre smiled: "Of course, otherwise, how could Argentina's economy collapse now? Do you really think that the United States will help your economic development well?"
"If you are willing to listen, let me briefly introduce you to the key points of how Americans cut wool in Latin America," Andre said.
How did Argentina and South American countries lead to economic collapse
All thanks to the "Washington Way". The "Washington Road" is a way for American capital to shear wool.
After the 1970s in the twentieth century, the United States sent a large number of economic and financial experts to countries such as Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Argentina and other countries in the "backyard of the United States" in South America, to some of Latin America with certain economic strength. The country encourages and changes the country’s original conservative and stable nationalist economic development mode. Many Latin American countries have vigorously promoted the development policy of the "neoliberal economy" under the agitation and direct guidance of experts in the United States, including mineral resources and The lifeblood industries of the national economy are fully privatized, imitating the economic development model of the United States, and fully opening up finance and economy in order to adapt to the so-called economic globalization.
This economic development model, in a nutshell, is privatization and liberalization, which was called the "Washington Road" at that time.
For governments that are unwilling to cooperate, the U.S. government adopts various methods such as public disinformation, economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, assassinations of key figures, military strikes, and coups to change the government and foster an obedient puppet regime. Forcing Latin American countries to follow the Washington road.
At that time, the liberal and democratic face of the United States had not been universally recognized, the people of the world still lacked immunity, and the uproar of the United States was still very inciting. Coupled with all-round political pressure, Latin American countries would just listen to it. Therefore, it embarked on the path indicated by the United States—Washington Road. (End of this chapter)
