Chapter 766 Strait of Gibraltar (Additional Chapter 1)
"Mr. Muhammad, I'm very sorry, our president does not agree with the joint development of oil fields." After returning to his office, Anaya said to the arms dealer who had become his acquaintance on the sofa beside him.
"It doesn't matter. I think General Galtieri will be interested in it in the future. After all, Argentina only has experience in extracting oil on land. It doesn't have any technology to explore and extract oil from the sea. We will definitely have a pleasant cooperation." Muhammad said. Although he had no beard on his face, he still had a unique Middle Eastern face. His tall, curved nose was his best physical feature.
"Then when will the weapons we need, such as Exocet missiles, be delivered?" Anaya said, "We must plan in secret. After all, the Western world, led by the United States, has imposed joint sanctions on us. If they knew we were getting them from a third country, they would definitely intercept them midway."
"Please rest assured, as long as you pay the money, the Exocet missiles can be delivered to your arsenal within one day. The others may take a little longer, but they can still be delivered within two days." Muhammad said: "Even if the Americans impose joint sanctions, they will never dare to intercept Soviet transport planes."
In fact, the Exocet missiles had been shipped here a long time ago and had been stored in a small warehouse on the coast of Argentina. It can be said that when Muhammad came to Argentina as a Middle Eastern businessman two years ago, all this began to be planned. He used various relationships to bribe Argentine officials and finally made friends with Anaya. Although he has the most common name for Middle Eastern people, Muhammad's real identity is a KGB agent.

Now, Muhammad has great respect for the Moscow high-level, the person in charge of the South American plan. The other party was able to predict that Argentina and Britain would have a war, and Argentina would need a large number of Exocet missiles! When Muhammad met his acquaintance Anaya and assured him that he could get Exocet missiles, the other party's eyes lit up! Of course, this requires the other party's trust. Without the preparation of the past two years, he would not be able to establish a relationship with Anaya. Even if he had Exocet, there would be no buyers to contact.
Thinking of this, he admired his superior even more. As for the oil exploration rights of the Falkland Islands, his superior must have a solution. This first time, of course, was just a reminder to the other party so that the other party could be mentally prepared. After that, step by step, the other party would have to slowly agree to his demands, because they would eventually have no way out!
With Muhammad's level, he only knew that it was an instruction from his superiors. He didn't know that the real planner of this incident was General Andrei, who was famous throughout the Soviet Union and the world!
At this time, Andre was leading a huge fleet across the Strait of Gibraltar and preparing to enter the Atlantic Ocean.

The Strait of Gibraltar is located between the southernmost part of the Iberian Peninsula in Spain and the northwest corner of Africa. The northern shore is the British colony of Gibraltar, and the southern shore is Morocco. It is an important gateway connecting the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. It is also one of the most important straits in the world.
Now, the Soviet aircraft carrier fleet is sailing here in a swagger. Looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, Andrei's face is filled with a certain greedy desire.
"This is the gateway to and from the Mediterranean. Although our power is not strong enough now, we must control this place in our hands in the future," said Andre.

The aircraft carrier captain Victor on the side was already able to accept Andre's remarks, because when he came out of the Black Sea Strait, Andre made a bold statement: "We will solve the problems here within ten years. The entire Black Sea Strait is the gateway to the Black Sea. We must control it in our hands."
Of course, Andre's wishes are not limited to these. In addition to the Black Sea Strait, Andre is also very interested in the Strait of Gibraltar, a key place that guards the gateway to the entire Mediterranean.

Whoever controls the ocean controls the world! To control the ocean, of course, one must control the key nodes.
The Strait of Gibraltar originally belonged to Spain. In 1704, Britain conquered Gibraltar during the Spanish-American War. Spain had no choice but to cede Gibraltar to Britain forever in the Treaty of Utrecht signed in 1713. After the British occupied Gibraltar, they built a military fortress here to control the traffic in the Strait.
The British Empire had so many colonies in the past. It was through colonies that they planted their flags in every corner of the world. Moreover, in later generations, this was also the only colony in Europe. Spain never gave up its claim to regain the sovereignty of Gibraltar. It has had dialogues and negotiations with the British government many times, hoping to resolve the status of Gibraltar. However, the votes of the local government and residents of Gibraltar showed that they did not want to return to Spain. They were willing to maintain the status quo, that is, to live an independent life under the protection of the United Kingdom.
If the Soviet Union wants to seize this place, it has to use appropriate means. Relying solely on force cannot really conquer the world. Just like the mustache decades ago, it is not good to be a warmongerer. You have to drive your own warships to reason with others! Just like now.

"After we leave the Strait of Gibraltar, we will enter the Atlantic Ocean." Victor said, "We will be about 200 nautical miles away from the British fleet."
In the past few days, the Soviet Union launched several satellites again and adjusted the orbits of some satellites in orbit. In this way, there are satellites monitoring the whereabouts of the British fleet almost every moment.
The Soviet and British fleets set out at almost the same time, and the route taken by the Soviet warships was actually longer than that of the British fleet, far more than 200 nautical miles. However, there were many civilian ships mixed in the British fleet, and their speed was not fast, with an average speed of about ten knots, which was also the normal cruising speed of warships. The Soviet fleet, on the other hand, maintained a high speed of more than twenty knots. Burning some oil was nothing, as the Soviet Union now had plenty of low-cost fuel.
"After passing the Strait of Gibraltar, take off two fighter jets and say hello to the British," said Andre.

If the British were quiet, they could still maintain an attitude of non-interference. After all, Andre was also very kind and didn't want to cause trouble. However, in the Mediterranean, the British sent land-based Tornado fighters to greet us. Of course, we were not polite either, and gave the British a greeting gift in the Atlantic!
