In the morning, the Chinese and Arab heads of state formally signed the China-Arab Economic Strategic Cooperation Agreement and reached a new trade settlement agreement. The US dollar will no longer be used as the foreign trade settlement currency. In the afternoon, the Chinese economic and trade delegation signed a letter of intent for economic and trade cooperation worth 750 pesos and about 200 US dollars with Argentine enterprises. In the evening, Argentine President Salas held a banquet to entertain Ji Youguo.

The next morning, the Argentina Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense jointly announced that Argentina will purchase weapons and equipment from China

Although the Argentine government and the Republic have long given "vaccines" to the media through various channels, once the news was announced, it still attracted the attention and speculation of many media.

After the "Far Island War" twenty-three years ago, the United States and European countries no longer sold advanced weapons to Argentina.

Until now, the main equipment of the Argentine army was still in the 1970s, and even in the 1960s. Take the Argentine Air Force as the main force. The A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft, which acted as the main force, was a carrier-based attack aircraft developed by the United States in the mid-1950s. It once participated in the "Far Island War" and created a brilliant example of the destroyer of the British Navy "Coventry". Its aircraft age is not only older than the pilots, but also much older than many Argentine Air Force generals. Its slightly decent age, although the "Super Army Flag" attack aircraft imported from France had a very dazzling performance in the "Flying Fish" anti-ship missile, it sank the "Sheffield" destroyer with "Flying Fish" anti-ship missiles and almost killed the "Invincible" aircraft carrier, but due to the lack of spare parts and supporting ammunition, it has almost become a decoration.

As a South American country in a corner, Argentina is not under great military threat. It is separated from Chile to the west by the Andes Mountains, Bolivia to the north and Paraguay to the north are small landlocked countries, Uruguay to the east have no strong army, and Brazil in the northeast has no ambition to expand

Argentina's only aim is to expand its armaments: to recover the Malvinas Islands

A few years ago, a European oil exploration company discovered a giant oil field with a reserve of billions of tons in the waters near the island of Malaya. Including undisclosed oil fields, the total potential exploitation can reach tens of billions of tons and the total resource value is tens of billions of dollars.

From then on, the issue of the ownership of the Equestria Island has once again become the focus of the world

Over the past few years, Argentina declared its sovereignty over the Malvinas through various peaceful means and diplomatic channels, but did not achieve much effect. Argentina also made efforts in military construction, but it was only because it had nowhere to purchase advanced weapons and equipment, but had no ability to develop it on its own, so it had to give up its efforts several times.

The Fourth India-Pakistan War gives Argentina hope

The actual combat is to prove the best way to equip Chinese weapons in the best way to equip Chinese weapons in the battlefield Pakistani army will equip Russian weapons in the battlefield. The Chinese Air Force destroyed the Indian capital air defense network in just two hours. The Chinese special mixed fleet annihilated the western Indian fleet in one fell swoop to prove the advanced performance of China's weapons; if two Indian aircraft carriers are sunk, it is also Chinese submarines, which can prove that Chinese weapons are not only advanced than Russian weapons or even no less than US and European weapons.

According to Western media reports, in mid-August, the Argentine Ministry of Defense secret procurement team arrived in Beijing

At first, China was still hesitant. After all, Argentina purchased weapons and equipment, especially the navy and air force weapons and equipment, the main purpose of the land was to recover the island of Horse Island. The island of Horse Island is the British overseas territory. China's selling weapons to Argentina will not only offend the UK, but also have a negative impact on China-EU relations.

It was not until the end of September that the situation changed significantly

The United Kingdom's attitude changed significantly when discussing the issue of the United Nations Security Council adding two permanent members.

China immediately actively responded to the "provocative" behavior of Britain

According to Western media reports, it was Ji Youguo who decided to provide weapons and equipment to Argentina.

In early October, the Argentine government revealed the first news of purchasing arms from China. In the next month, the outside world has been paying attention to this incident. Although the latest news did not mention specific procurement projects, it is generally estimated that Argentina will focus on purchasing naval and air force equipment, and the total procurement amount will not be less than US$150.

According to the "authoritative" news released by n, Argentina will produce 48 from China equipped with composite batteries and superconducting motors, conventional submarines with underwater endurance capacity of more than 28 days | large frigates with regional air defense capabilities and anti-submarine combat capabilities, 12 to 20 equipped with long-range anti-ship missiles and short-range air defense missiles, and missile speedboats with maximum speed of more than 40 knots; 6 to 8 equipped with solid-state electronic scanning phased array radar, "Air Guard 200 early warning aircraft with air detection range of more than 350 meters, 812 oil carrying capacity reaches 25~: 120150 J-10 fighter with sea strike capability, 240300c-803 fired anti-ship missiles, as well as a large number of supporting weapons, ammunition and airborne electronic equipment

If the news released by n is true, Argentina's large-scale procurement of arms is intended |:;

Because there is no procurement of army equipment, Argentina's purpose of expanding its arms is definitely not to deal with neighboring countries, nor is it to solve the problem of Brazil's leadership.

question

After completing the expansion, Argentina will have the most powerful air force and the most powerful submarine force in South America.

However, the outside world generally believes that the news released by n is not true

If Argentina wants to solve the Cabernet Island problem through force, in addition to having a strong air force and a submarine force with strong deterrence, it must also have sufficient military delivery capabilities to send the troops to Cabernet Island and complete the combat operations of occupying Cabernet Island.

The delivery of troops is nothing more than two methods: sea and air transport and relies on several old C-130 transport aircraft and several landing ships that are difficult to even leave the port. It is difficult for Argentina to deliver combat forces to the Cambodia Island. The outside world generally believes that Argentina either relies on enhanced armed forces to force Britain to make concessions in negotiations, or conducts a second round of arms expansion to enhance its troop delivery capabilities, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the Cambodia Island problem in the short term.

With relatively large-scale procurement contracts, the outside world is more concerned about how Argentina pays for procurement fees.

With Argentina's military budget of less than $3 billion a year, it will take five years to afford such a large number of weapons and equipment even if the fiscal budget is not a problem, Argentina's foreign exchange reserves are not enough to cover the procurement costs.

According to common speculation from the outside world, Argentina is likely to buy arms from China by bartering.

Because Argentina's financial resources are limited, it is generally believed that Argentina will not continue to expand its military facilities in the short term. In the next five to ten years, it will be difficult for Argentina to resolve the dispute between the Cabernet Island through military means.

In any case, the UK immediately responded strongly to China's sale of arms to Argentina.

Less than two hours after the Argentine government announced the news, the British Prime Minister declared in an interview with reporters: China's actions seriously undermine Sino-UK relations, and the UK will take necessary measures to respond to China's reckless actions.

Immediately, the British Secretary of Defense proposed to build a third "Queen Elizabeth" class aircraft carrier in the House of Commons.

A few days later, the UK rejected the proposal to lift the military ban on China at the EU meeting.

Subsequently, the British Foreign Ministry approved the leaders of the ** and ** who visited everywhere to attend the "World Human Rights Conference"

The Republican government immediately issued a strong statement on this, protesting the UK's commitment to undermining "One China" and providing support and asylum to terrorist and separatist organizations. The Republican government recalled the ambassador to the UK.

For a moment, the relationship between the Republic and Britain fell to the bottom

While major news media were looking forward to the Argentine government releasing the procurement list as soon as possible and paying close attention to Sino-UK relations, Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin also completed the "training" and went to "Sanjian Manor" as an employee of "Hua'an Security Company" to officially take on the task of protecting Yanbo and his family.

The two special forces soldiers felt indescribable about this mission

Although they have carried out rescue and search and rescue missions in the past and successfully rescued several pilots in the Fourth India-Pakistan War, as professional soldiers, their training is mainly about "killing people", rather than "rescuing people", and they have not received formal training to "protect people".

What makes the two more annoyed is that they must "pretend to be deaf and dumb" and try not to communicate with others.

The only thing that made the two feel relieved was that Li Cunxun did not let them "leave empty-handed". Liu Xiaobin not only obtained the gun certificate issued by the US government, but also obtained two USB45 guns produced by the German HK company.

On the 5th morning, the two entered the "Sanjian Manor" and became Yanbo's personal bodyguard.

After lunch, Yanbo asked someone to prepare a private jet

"You guys go to Los Angeles with me"

Kang Xiaoting nodded immediately. Without Yanbo's instructions, they would follow him to Los Angeles.

It was only a ten-minute drive from "Sanjian Manor" to LaGuardia Airport. Seeing the cl-2010 business plane worth more than 20 million US dollars, Su Mingjin showed a slightly envious look.

"Dad, you're late"

"I can't do anything about traffic jams on the road."

Seeing the beauty who came towards me, not only had a hot body, beautiful appearance, but also had a very elegant temperament, Su Mingjin's eyes suddenly became straight.

Kang Xiaoting quickly hit his partner and followed Yanbo's pace

"Dad, you are never late." Mu Hua glanced at the two people following his father, "Who are they?"

"The bodyguard I just hired" Yan Bo smiled faintly, "Get on the plane, let's talk about it on the road."

"Dad, why did you ask me to go to Los Angeles?"

"You will know when you arrive." Yanbo got on the plane first

After Mu Hua got on the plane, Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin boarded the plane one after another. Both realized that their protection mission would be added, that is Yanbo's only daughter.

Su Mingjin was a little excited, but Kang Xiaoting was a little worried

Protecting big guys is not a hassle, but protecting a spoiled and seemingly rude daughter is not an easy thing

damn it*
