Chapter 1235 A hunk descends from the sky! ?

There is no such thing as a free lunch!

Armando Mayora is very clear about this.

You have to pay for what you want.

It's just a matter of how much you pay!

If you trade with Europe and the United States, the price you pay is huge, even something Argentina cannot afford.

Although it also costs a lot to trade with China, it is a price Argentina can afford.

Armando Mayora is very ambitious. He wants to lead Argentina to achieve leapfrog development and make Argentina a strong country in South America.

As a marginal area of ​​geopolitics, all countries in South America are often subconsciously ignored.

However, South America is huge and rich in resources. It should not be like this. Even as a resource-rich country, it can live a good life.

Argentina is the second largest country in Latin America after Brazil in terms of area. Its land area reaches 2.7804 million square kilometers, ranking eighth in the world. Except for the southern part, which is in the cold zone, most of Argentina is in the temperate and subtropical zones. The annual average temperature is 21.6℃ in the north and 6.3℃ in the south, which is very suitable for growing crops, raising cattle and sheep. Coupled with rich mineral resources, Argentina does not have to live like it is now.

The reason is naturally that there are Europeans and Americans, especially Americans, who are sucking blood from Argentina.

After Armando Mayora came to power, the first action he took was to nationalize oil and natural gas to increase Argentina's national income. The government can only invest in infrastructure if it has money.

In this regard, China has provided the world with a classic template for government investment in infrastructure.

Armando Mayora also wants to nationalize more areas, but he knows that if the scope of nationalization is expanded, it will inevitably arouse greater contradictions. Now he will nationalize oil and natural gas first, and wait for one or two years before nationalizing other areas.

The fate of Argentina should be in the hands of Argentines, not by Europeans and Americans.

When they arrived in Beijing, the foreign affairs department personally went to the station to welcome the Argentine delegation, giving Argentina enough courtesy, and also expressed China's attention to Argentina.

The Argentine delegation will stay in Beijing for three days, and the two sides will exchange views in many fields.

The two sides signed a joint statement and a cooperation agreement. In the joint statement, both sides expressed their willingness to continue to promote cooperation between the two sides, in the spirit of win-win cooperation and common development, share development, and oppose violence, especially violence and hegemony of extremist organizations.

Then the two sides signed cooperation agreements in many fields such as economy, trade, education, culture, and military.

Panshan Group Headquarters.

Liu Tao got the order from the Argentine military.

For the army, 100 Type 80 main battle tanks, 50 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 100 Type 81 medium tanks, 200 Type 81 light tanks, 200 Type 81 amphibious tanks, 150 other self-propelled rocket launchers, self-propelled howitzers, and corresponding artillery shells. 10 million wooden-handled grenades, 500 Type 78 heavy sniper rifles, 500 sets of "Vanguard" missile launchers and 10 missiles per set.

For the navy, 10 Type 022 missile boats, 10 Type 022A torpedo boats, 4 Type 054 frigates, and 2 Type 052 destroyers are equipped with corresponding shells, missiles, and torpedoes.

For the air force, 40 J-7 modified fighters, 40 J-8 modified fighters, 10 J-13 fighters, 10 J-10 fighters, and 5 J-11 fighters.

For the air defense force, 10 sets of "Aegis-0" air defense missile systems and 5 sets of "Aegis-1" air defense missile systems were purchased.

Including training fees, the total order is US$10.5 billion, equivalent to RMB 42 billion.

Argentina does not have that much money to pay, but uses loans to pay.

This time, the Argentine delegation received a loan of up to RMB 100 billion from China.

Nearly half of it is used to purchase weapons and equipment.

Liu Tao looked at the order with a thoughtful look.

It seems that Armando Mayora is determined to take back the Falkland Islands by force.

I am afraid that when the Argentine army is trained, it will be the time for Armando Mayora to take back the Falkland Islands by force.

Although this order is valuable, Liu Tao has no pressure to pay.

Let alone the two-year delivery period, even if it is delivered this year, he has no pressure.

Now Panshan Group has already been very large in terms of these production capacities.

"Armando Mayora is a man who dares to make deals!" Liu Tao said secretly.

Argentina got a loan of 100 billion yuan, naturally it would not be without any cost.

But Armando Mayora dared to make a deal, which requires great courage.

Liu Tao naturally has a deep impression of the Falkland Islands. After all, he was deeply impressed by the Falklands War.

Back then, he was deeply involved in the Falklands War.

Now Armando Mayora is determined to take back the Falkland Islands, which will obviously cause another wave of disturbance.

It is hard to say whether the second Falklands War will break out. It may happen or it may not!

But Armando Mayora is much more courageous than the previous Argentine leaders.

Dare to gamble!

This time, Argentina paid some price and obtained an interest-free loan of 100 billion yuan, but that is not all.

As early as a week ago, Argentina sold 200 tons of gold.

You know, in recent years, central banks of various countries have been increasing their holdings of gold to resist the risk of depreciation of the US dollar and ensure the stability of their own currencies through various means.

It forced the United States not to devalue the dollar, so that the whole world would pay for it.

Argentina sold 200 tons of gold, which was a big deal and would cost a price.

But if Armando Mayora could realize his plan, then it was clear that these costs were affordable for Argentina.

The investment of hundreds of billions of dollars would boost Argentina's economy.

And the cost reaction would be at least three or four years later.

Even if it was successfully completed, the cost reaction might not exist.

After all, with the improvement of railways, roads, and shipping, the increase in exports, and the development of the economy, Argentina's tax revenue would increase and it would be able to repay debts on time, so these debts would not be a big deal.

In addition, if Argentina really took back the Falkland Islands at that time, there was no doubt that Armando Mayora's prestige would rise to another level.

Compared with Venezuela and Colombia, Argentina's policies were much softer, showing hostility to Britain, but not to the United States. In this case, it would not be deliberately made difficult by the United States, after all, the United States did not want to push Argentina to the opposite side.

It can be said that Armando Mayora has both a tough side and a soft side. He is not mindless and makes enemies everywhere. Moreover, as a military man, he is not only thinking about strengthening the military, but also thinking about developing the economy.

In fact, the focus is still on developing the Argentine economy.

Liu Tao looked thoughtful. Could it be that Armando Mayora is a man sent from the sky in Argentina! ? (End of this chapter)
