Red Soviet Union

The Malvinas Islands, known to the British as the Falkland Islands, are an archipelago located on the Patagonian continental shelf in the South Atlantic Ocean. The main island is located about 500 kilometers east of the southern coast of Patagonia, South America, at about 52° south latitude. The entire archipelago includes Soledad Island, Gran Malvina Island and 776 small islands, with a total area of ​​12,200 square kilometers.

There has been a lot of controversy in history about the ownership of this island. In the colonial era of the empire on which the sun never sets, this island was first seen by the British navigator Davis on the Desire in 1592. According to their According to the logic, this island should belong to them.

Two hundred years of history have passed, and in 1816, Argentina, which declared independence from Spain, claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

The reason is also very simple, because the Malvinas Islands are located in the South Atlantic waters east of the southern tip of Argentina, only more than 500 kilometers away from Argentina, and tens of thousands of kilometers away from the United Kingdom! This is the imprint left by the British colonial era and should not be recognized!

Regarding the sovereignty of the island, the two countries have undergone many negotiations, and even under the mediation of the United Nations, they could not reach a consensus. And now, Argentina has finally resorted to force to take back the Falkland Islands with actual force!

And for the UK, this is a barbaric violation, the Falkland Islands are a sacred and inseparable part of the UK!

Hearing this news, Iron Lady's expression changed instantly. The world has been really not peaceful for the past few years! The conflict in the Middle East has just ended, and war has begun in the South Atlantic again!

Britain has no other choice, it must use force to resolve the Falklands issue! Since she is known as the Iron Lady, of course Mrs Thatcher will not compromise!

Mr. President Reagan, our Falkland Islands have been brutally invaded. Mrs. Thatcher said to Reagan, What do you think?

Britain is the best friend of the United States. At the same time, Argentina is also the best friend of the United States in South America. Not long before Reagan left the United States, he had received Argentine President Galtieri. Therefore, the UK's decision-making now depends first on the attitude of the Americans!

I am also shocked by this matter. Argentina actually used force to resolve the Falklands conflict. Our attitude in the United States is firmly opposed. Reagan said: We have decided to impose a comprehensive arms embargo and economic blockade on Argentina. Until the Falklands incident is resolved. At the same time, we, the entire Western world, must unite to deal with this challenge to NATO.”

When he heard the news, in an instant, Reagan was overjoyed. The Argentines grasped the timing of the troubles really well! Now, I am having a hard time worrying about the oil issue in the Middle East, the domestic political situation is also unstable, and all the news media are adding fuel to the flames. If I can't handle the diversified oil settlement system this time, I will greatly lose the domestic people support.

Well, this happened! Argentina seized the Falklands by force, and then Britain will use force to regain it! The eyes of the whole world will be on the South Atlantic Ocean, and this crisis on our side will be passed safely! Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity, it happened to reunite NATO countries and establish the prestige of the United States. NATO countries contributed money and efforts to help Britain win this war!

As for Argentina, that Galtieri mentioned the Falklands when he met with me last time. At that time, I didn’t agree to it at all, and in order to take care of Galtieri’s feelings, Reagan didn’t object. Now, it seems that that The guy misunderstood what he meant and took his attitude as the default!

Between the United Kingdom and Argentina, the United States is of course obliged to choose to support the United Kingdom! This is an opportunity to unite the western world!

Thank you for your support. Mrs. Thatcher said: Sorry, we need to hold an urgent cabinet meeting.

With the attitude of the United States, the United Kingdom has become more determined to use force. Now, Mrs. Thatcher needs to hold an emergency meeting.

Consult. Quickly dispatch troops to recover the Falklands!

After World War II, Britain has declined sharply. However, if only this is the case, it is considered that Britain dare not fight, and Argentina is too complacent! Even if the United Kingdom is in decline, it is not comparable to a third-rate country like Argentina!

Now, it is April of 1982, and the weather in Moscow is already very warm. In the Kremlin, at the ZHJ meeting held by Andrei, he told the participants about the cooperation with Chengfei to develop a special Foreign trade aircraft, providing reports to countries such as Egypt and Pakistan.

General Andre, according to your idea, if we cooperate with China's Chengfei, will China's Chengfei learn our technology secretly, and then have the ability to develop new fighters? Usti Nove asked.

In many respects, Ustinov agrees with Andre's proposition, but now, cooperating with Huaxia to produce a fighter, will it give Huaxia the ability to develop its own fighter? After all, although the relationship with Huaxia is friendly now, we still have to guard against Huaxia.

Yes, General Andre, if this project can be completed, will it rob us of the export market for fighter jets? Another person asked.

I have already thought about these problems. Andre said: Theoretically, we are cooperating with Chengfei to develop it, because Chengfei has no experience, and the main investor, Egypt, wants to improve the performance of the fighter. Therefore, the original small-scale revision plan on the basis of the J-7 was abolished, and a redesign was required. In order to raise more funds and share the development risks, Pakistan was brought in. Now, this project mainly It’s still up to us to do it. Many designs must be done by us. Even if Cheng Fei follows him, he can’t learn too much knowledge, because I already have a suitable plan, which is a complete imitation of the American F- 16.

Copycat American F-16!

How to quickly and effectively complete the design of new light fighters? How can we save labor costs, avoid risks, and get this fighter out as soon as possible? On the return flight, Andre thought it over carefully, and still felt that copycats were the easiest!

Now, there are already American-made ones in the research institutes of the Soviet Union, and just last year, there was another F-16! This is a fighter plane left by the United States at Prince Sultan Air Force Base near Riyadh. When it retreated, it was still repairing at the base, but the airport was captured by the Iraqi army and the plane was seized! (To be continued.)
