Chapter 765 Iraq’s Help

A new way to get more Exocet missiles! Upon hearing this news, Galtieri was immediately excited: "Really? What way?"

"Through the Iraqi side, they now have a large stockpile of Exocet missiles," Commander Anaya said.

As for Iraq! France, due to its independent defense policy, can sell weapons to them at will. Although the price is higher, the political constraints are relatively small. During the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq obtained a large number of Exocet missiles!

Iraq's crude oil is mainly transported through pipelines, while Iran's crude oil relies on sea transportation. Therefore, before launching the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq purchased a large number of missiles in order to conduct a maritime war at a critical moment. As one of the traditional importers of French weapons, Iraq purchased a lot of Exocet missiles. In history, these Exocet missiles are very famous. In the famous Iran-Iraq ship attack war, this type of missile was one of the main forces. The most famous thing is that the Iraqis used a Exocet to blow a big hole in the American Perry-class frigate Tusk. At that time, the United States suffered a loss and did not make a public statement.

At the same time, in addition to the Mirage F1, Super Hornet and other aircraft carrying Exocet missiles, Iraq also has the Super Etendard fighter leased from France.

Now, there are still dozens of Exocet missiles in Iraq's arsenal. However, Iraq has not borrowed the Super Etendard fighter. Historically, that happened in 1983. Now, Iraq does not need to fight a naval war, and the dispute is over.

At the same time, Iraq's defense policy has completely turned to the Soviet Union. The country is full of Soviet-made weapons, and these Exocet missiles are like chicken ribs. In this case, it is reasonable to sell these Exocet missiles at a high price.

What’s more important is that the Middle East now no longer needs to look at the face of the United States. On the contrary, slapping the Americans in the face is probably what they prefer to do.

In this case, it is a foregone conclusion that Iraq will export Exocet missiles. As long as the price is negotiated, there will be absolutely no problem.

However, secretly purchasing Exocet missiles from Iraq faces another risk, that is, the Soviet Union! Everyone knows that the Soviet Union is behind Iraq now! Iraq's actions were actually instructed by the Soviet Union! When searching for Exocet missiles in the international arms market, Argentine arms dealers did not think of starting in Iraq, because Argentina did not want to deal with the Soviet Union!

After all, deep down, Galtieri still considered himself a Westerner, and his values ​​were the same as those of the West. In his heart, Galtieri was repulsed by the Eastern world.

But now, the West has hurt him. The Falkland Islands belong to Argentina, which should be recognized by the Western world. But now, Argentina has taken back the Falkland Islands by force, and the entire Western world has abandoned Argentina! They chose to stand with the United Kingdom! All of Argentina's efforts have come to nothing. It can be said that Argentina has been abandoned by the Western world!

This hurt Galtieri a lot, and now, Iraq took the initiative to come to Argentina and offer to provide Exocet missiles. In fact, this was a stepping stone for the Soviets, and the Soviets were testing their attitude!

As for ourselves, what choice should we make?

"Ananya, what do you think?" Galtieri asked his trusted and beloved general.

What do you think? What do you think? Hearing Galtieri's question, Anaya said, "President, I am a soldier. I only know that our weapons are all purchased from abroad, and now our purchases have been blocked by the entire Western world. If we want to win this war and drive the British away, we cannot give up any opportunity."

Galtieri nodded: "Yes, we can't give up this opportunity. After all, we have been abandoned by the entire Western world."

"Mr. President, this arms dealer can provide us with more help," Anaya said. "For example, he promised to deliver intelligence on the British fleet to us in real time, including satellite photos and radar detection intelligence."

Intelligence of the British fleet! If Argentina wants to win this battle, it must make preparations in many aspects, among which intelligence is very important. It is very important to know the real-time position of the British fleet and their dynamics accurately. However, all of these require reconnaissance satellites, and Argentina does not have that level yet.

If the other party can provide it, then they are helping our side in the battle!

"Good, very good!" Galtieri stood up. "What else can they offer us?"

"They can provide us with two aerial refueling tankers and Super Hornet helicopters that can carry sonar probes to detect submarines. In addition, they can also provide an efficient construction team to renovate the airport on the Falkland Islands, lengthen the runway, and add hangars."

Each project hits the nail on the head for Argentina! Now, this is what Argentina needs most! Of course, nothing else will work. For example, even if they can sell submarines and surface warships to Argentina, Argentina will not have time to receive and train them, and in that case, they will have no combat effectiveness.

"Okay, these projects will be carried out immediately. We will accept any price they offer!" Galtieri said. The amount of money required to carry out these projects is definitely not a small amount, but Argentina's focus now is to win this war! No matter what price the other party raises, we can accept it!

"Their offer is only 50 percent higher than the normal price, which is not too outrageous. However, they have an additional request," Anaya said.

Additional request? Hearing this, Galtieri frowned: "What request?"

"They want to cooperate with us to develop the oil fields near the Falkland Islands, and they want to hold 50% of the shares." Anaya said: "Of course, even if we don't agree to this request, they will not give up other projects."

Develop the oil fields near the Falkland Islands? Galtieri knew that the purpose behind this request was far-reaching. It turned out that the Soviets were eyeing the oil fields near the Falkland Islands!

When the Argentines seized the Falkland Islands, the British immediately became furious and mobilized the entire country to launch this cross-sea war. Although it was related to the lost dignity of the British Empire, the rich oil resources in the waters near the Falkland Islands were also one of the reasons, because now the international oil price is high, so oil is life!

Now, the specific proven reserves have not yet been released, but the known reserves in the future are as high as 60 billion barrels, which is definitely not less than the North Sea oil fields. And the British, in order to maintain their tangible interests, although they have not yet produced oil near the Falkland Islands, they can start mining at any time in the future.

The Soviets, occupying the Middle East is not enough, they also want to occupy the Falkland Islands oil fields?

"We will consider this request later," Galtieri said. "For now, we will use our dollars to buy their weapons. We don't owe each other anything."
