※After scrubbing the car window, I saw a reporter outside the embassy. Pei Chengyi realized the importance of Hurricane Trouble. Fortunately, the car drove directly into the embassy, ​​and the reporter did not notice the passengers in the car.

"Have you read General Alfonso's personal profile?"

Before getting off the car, Dongfang Wen suddenly asked, which made Pei Chengyi a little confused.

"I'm afraid you will forget." Dongfang Wen smiled and said, "His father was flying the "Sky Eagle" during the Battle of the Horse Island, and the attack plane sank the British Navy's "Liang Sheep, the frigate, and is an Argentina national hero.

Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head. How could he forget such an important thing?

The British-Ama War, which took place in the South Atlantic in the old year, was the largest maritime war since World War II, and another war with very different strengths. Although the United States did not participate directly during the war, Argentina received the Soviet intelligence support of the "Super Military Flag" and used the "Flying Fish" anti-ship missile to sink the "Atlantic Transporter" to obtain the Soviet satellite reconnaissance intelligence, and regarded the "Atlantic Transporter" as the British navy's flight thug, but in all aspects, Argentina was not the opponent of Britain. After the war broke out, under the influence of Britain, Western countries established

That is, to impose a military embargo on Argentina, and even tore up the contract to prevent advanced weapons and equipment from flowing into Argentina, France detained a batch of "Flying Fish" missiles that should have been delivered to the Argentine Air Force. In such an extreme situation, the Argentine Air Force still created a miracle that was not big or small, sinking several British warships, including the "Sheffield" destroyer, the "Coventry" destroyer, and the "Leiyang" frigate. In addition to using "Flying Fish and Anti-ship missiles to sink the "Sheffield", the other results were obtained by four Skyhawk attack aircraft using four-pound non-guided aviation bombs.

It is indeed a rare miracle to be able to sink British warships armed to their teeth with "World War II bombs".

Cervantes and Alfonso created such a miracle. In the operation to attack the "Antelope", the bomb dropped by the four attack aircraft he flew directly hit the "Antelope", making great contributions to the final blow of the "Antelope". The brave pilot also sacrificed his life for the country in this war. At that time, Cervantes Alfonso, the current chief of staff of the Argentine Air Force, was still a baby in his swagger.

Although I can only know my father from the photos, the "father's ideal" had a great impact on Alfonso.

Wu Nian is enough to change a lot of things.

When Pei Chengyi saw Alfonso, he knew that the Argentine Air Force Chief of Staff would not return empty-handed.

"General Pei, please sit down."

Although Alfonso's Chinese is not fluent, his polite attitude still surprised Pei Chengyi a little.

"I heard that General Pei likes to smoke, this is what I have from

"Chief of Staff, I have quit smoking." Pei Chengyi quickly raised his hand and blocked the cigarette he handed over.

"Did you quit?"

Pei Chengyi nodded with a smile and said, "I started quitting a few days ago."

"This is also very good. Smoking will cause cancer." Alfonso handed the cigarette to the secretary next to him and sent the secretary away.

Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and nodded to Dongfang Wen, who was sitting next to him.

Although when talking to Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi wanted to let Dongfang Wen stay in China and take charge of the equipment office on his behalf. After all, this was one of the ways to promote Dongfang Wen, after careful consideration, Pei Chengyi decided to bring Dongfang Wen with him. First, he needed Dongfang Wen as an assistant. Second, the equipment office was not only a clear water yamen, but also easily offend people. No one dared to treat Pei Chengyi, but it did not mean that he would take Dongfang Wen seriously.

"General Pei, do you know the purpose of our visit this time?" When there were only two people left in the room, Alfonso had no worries. "To be honest, he was communicating with the army in name, but in fact he had something to ask for. More than 20 years ago, when the head of state of Kiyou of your country visited Buenos Aires, he promised to help us solve the Cabernet problem. It is undeniable that over the years, your country has made great efforts and given us great help. However, things went against our wishes. Our efforts for peace were not valued and respected, and were even regarded as a manifestation of weakness. Although I do not know your country's culture, I have heard a saying from your country, that is, "If you can't bear it, you don't need to endure it anymore. Now, we have no choice but to solve the problems that should have been solved half a century ago in the most reluctant way."

When listening to Alfonso's words, Pei Chengyi nodded occasionally and expressed his agreement with the other party's point of view.

Because Alfonso's Chinese is not very good and Pei Chengyi doesn't know Latin, so after Alfonso said, Pei Chengyi waited for a while and confirmed that the other party had finished speaking, he said, "General Alfonso, I have nothing to hide. I just want to know one thing, are the rumors outside true or false?

"Rumor?" Alfonso frowned slightly and said, "Are you talking about rare minerals?"

Pei Chengyi smiled slightly and said, "Of course not."

Alfonso was stunned for a moment and said, "General Pei is asking if we are preparing to start a war with Britain?"

Pei Chengyi smiled but said nothing, saying that this is the question he wanted to ask.

"This is the fundamental purpose of our trip." Alfonso knew that Pei Chengyi knew more than him, so he did not talk much, saying, "Although over the past 20 years, with the help of your country, our country has established the most complete national defense industrial system in the Latin American region, as the third one": Pan. Our national defense capabilities are still not enough to recover the occupied territories. The ability to fight a large-scale war with a powerful developed country. We hope that the most trustworthy and reliable friends can provide the greatest help, not only material assistance, but also various helps including military intelligence and military command."

Alfonso kept paying attention to Pei Chengyi's expression, but he did not get any answer.

He seemed not to adapt to Alfonso's somewhat difficult-to-mouth Chinese. After a while, Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Your Excellency General is very pertinent. Although I don't have any intention of looking down on your country and your army, in my opinion, with the strength of your country, especially your army, I am afraid that you will not consider regaining the Horse Island within twenty years."

Alfonso's facial muscles twitched several times. Although he didn't speak Chinese well, he could understand it.

"We have to admit that the rapid development that has lasted for more than 20 years has greatly enhanced your country's comprehensive national strength and greatly improved your army's modernization. However, we must admit that the world is constantly developing and changing, your country is progressing, and other countries are also progressing. Just as the current ordinary controllable fusion nuclear power plants were almost a fantasy half a century ago, the combat effectiveness of modern troops is far beyond the imagination of half a century ago."

"General Pei, what do you mean by that

"There is no insult or underestimation. I just want to understand it." Pei Chengyi raised a finger and said, "Your country, what I mean is your country from top to bottom, from president to civilians, and from your army, from the most ordinary soldiers to the chief of staff of the three armies to recover the Ma Island. How much is the quiet price to be paid for the recovery of the Ma Island?"

A Fangshu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Pei Chengyi did not rush to speak, but waited patiently for the other party's reply, while carefully observing the other party's expression.

"This catty, the problem should be divided into two aspects." Afangsuo sighed and said, "There is no problem with the army. From the chief of staff of the three armies to the general soldiers, the fighting spirit and morale of ordinary soldiers are very high. The people's thoughts and emotions are relatively complicated, and I am a soldier, so I don't know much about it.

Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head, saying, "God General, do you think the soldiers of your country exist alone?"

Alfonso frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what Pei Chengyi said.

"Soldiers are also humans, and they have relatives and friends. If even their relatives and friends do not support them, why should soldiers charge and sacrifice their blood?" Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "Although I am not a military adviser of your country, as a friend thug, I can remind the general that if the military and civilians cannot be united, no matter how high the morale of your army is, it is best to think twice before acting.

Now, Afangsuo understood what Pei Chengyi meant, but his expression told Pei Chengyi that the problem was not simple.

After hesitating for a while, Alfonso said: "General Pei, you are very reasonable. Although as soldiers, we should not discuss these things, it is related to the final success or failure of the war. I hope General Pei will not have any prejudice and provide us with more help."

"I don't dare to take help. I think your country should try to make the current hot news."

"Hot news?" Alfonso did not react.

"Pei Chengyi sighed secretly. Seeing Alfonso's stunning understanding, he said, "Everyone knows the value of rare minerals. More importantly, everyone knows that the reserves of rare minerals in the world are very limited, and it is very likely to be exhausted within fifty to seventy years. Over the years, our country, the United States, the European Union, Russia, and even Brazil have accelerated the speed of space exploration and even proposed plans to land on Mars. In name, for scientific exploration, but in fact, it is to find more resources. Mars is a little far away, but within twenty years, the first lunar colony will be in progress.

If human civilization is built in a manner, it will enter the era of space colonization. No one can say exactly what direction will human civilization develop, but one thing is clear, that is, in the foreseeable future, even within several centuries, the earth will remain the only home of mankind, and the resources on the earth will be the cornerstone of the development of human civilization. Imagine that if you have a rare mineral that can be developed for decades or even hundreds of years, your country will become a resource power overnight. If your country can become Saudi Arabia in the last century, what reason does your people have not supported the government's war actions?"

Inspired by Pei Chengyi, Alfonso understood and his expression improved a lot.

“Of course, in my opinion, the most important thing is military preparation

"General Pei, what you mean,"

Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter what, the military operation to recover the Horse Island is very limited, and it cannot evolve into a full-scale war, or even a large-scale regional war.

“That is, there is no need for a large-scale mobilization?”

"Of course not. The war is not about military strength, but about the comprehensive strength of the country." Pei Chengyi glanced at Alfonso and said, "If your country did not have the courage to burn its boats, or did not give the enemy a reflection of a battle against the water, the enemy would be more aggressive and would never make any concessions. Half a century ago, your country still lost the Battle of the Horse Island War with all the right time, place, and people. In addition to the gap in comprehensive national strength, it also has a lot of laughter with the idea of ​​war. Of course, being mentally prepared does not mean taking practical actions. Overwhelming the opponent in momentum and waiting for half of the factory Suzhu victory. I believe. Such a simple truth. General Pavilion, let the public not understand.

Alfonso smiled bitterly and looked as if he was humble and taught.

"From the protection of your country's national interests, I think that no matter what your country's ultimate goal is, you must base yourself on a quick battle and you must never fall into a protracted war. Pei Chengyi seemed a little worried about Alfonso's thinking speed, so every paragraph always stops for a while. "We are not prophets, but we can make bold predictions about the future. We have a saying, "Onsighters are clear." As bystanders, maybe I can see it more clearly."

Alfonso nodded quickly and waited for Pei Chengyi to continue talking.

"First of all, we have to make the boldest prediction, that is, the war breaks out within the year. No matter how the war progresses, there are only three possible results in the end. One is that your country will win a great victory, the other is that both sides will be evenly matched and eventually compromise, and the third is that your country will lose a big loss. For your country, the three results are three different futures. In other words, your country must strive for the first result at all costs, and at least you must get the second result, and you must never have the third result."

“Without the support of the Republic, we.

"God of General, we are now discussing purely military issues, so don't get involved with other things for the time being." Pei Chengyi pressed his hands and said, "The aid agreement between countries is the business of politicians. We are soldiers, so we don't need to consider it, and it's best not to consider it."

"General Pei is right. If we want to get the first result, what should we do?

Pei Chengyi smiled slightly and said, "First of all, we must do the mobilization work I mentioned earlier and try our best to win the support of the people, especially the families of soldiers. After doing this, we must make military preparations as soon as possible. Of course, it must be comprehensive and thorough military preparations, rather than military preparations in a certain aspect. In addition to seeking support from the outside world, it is mainly the mobilization and preparations of your country."

While Pei Chengyi was pausing, Alfonso said, "General Pei, what would you do if it was up to you to decide?"

"Me?" Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head, saying, "This is not a good assumption, but as a friend, let me decide. First of all, you have to prepare for logistics support. There is no doubt that modern war is a high-intensity war. In the stage of fighting for the initiative of war, that is, the early stage of the war, the investment will be very amazing. In the previous local wars, the consumption rate of materials in the early stage of the war was more than five times the average consumption rate. Then you have to formulate a combat plan, to be precise, a strategic war plan. Without a practical war plan, no matter how powerful the army is, it is impossible to achieve the final victory, at least it is impossible.

The greatest victory is achieved at the lowest cost. During this period, we must do a good job of deception, especially intelligence, activities and deception; we must not only make the enemy think that your army is ready to fight with the enemy, but also make the enemy think that your country will not choose war rashly and still strive to resolve disputes in a peaceful way. Finally, we must take practical actions, that is, based on your army's actual capabilities, formulate detailed combat strategies and launch military operations at the right time to win the fastest speed. If everything develops in an ideal state, according to my experience, your army can even recover the horse island without any blood, and let the enemy directly give up the idea of ​​competing with your army."

Alfonso was stunned for a moment, then controlled his joyful expression.

"Of course, the ideal state only exists in the ideal, and there is no ideal situation in reality Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Even if you encounter troubles of this and that, as long as the situation is still under control, I believe that your army is more than 80% sure to win the final victory, and it is the most brilliant military victory in your country's history."

"Above 80% sure?" Alfonso could no longer hold back his inner joy.

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "This is just my speculation. As for what exactly, I dare not make any guarantee."

As for this, it is impossible for Alfonso to not understand what Pei Chengyi means. In other words, Pei Chengyi is not an Argentine, nor an Argentine soldier. The most important thing is that there is no soldier like Pei Chengyi, so Pei Chengyi cannot make a guarantee. From another perspective, Pei Chengyi sent a clear signal to Alfonso that Argentina lacks a military commander with rich experience.

Alfonso heard Pei Chengyi's meaning, so he naturally would not give up the opportunity to send an invitation.

Speaking of this, the talks were much simpler. Although Pei Chengyi did not agree immediately after Alfonso officially sent the invitation on the grounds that it was necessary to consider it, it was only a matter of time for Pei Chengyi to go to Argentina. Simply put, Alfonso would send the news back, and then the Argentine government and even the Argentine president would come forward in person to invite Pei Chengyi to serve as Argentina's military adviser. As long as the government of the Republic was approved, Pei Chengyi could go to Buenos Aires as a military adviser like he did when he went to Islamabad.

Inviting Pei Chengyi is only one of the purposes of Alfonso's visit to the Republic.

With both sides' intentions clear, Alfonso had no more concerns. Not only did he tell Argentina's war plan together," he also raised many questions, especially the construction of military power. In Alfonso's view, Pei Chengyi was not only the "God of Military Affairs of the Republic." He was also the "savior of Argentina."
