Chapter 818 Soviet Navy Visits Argentina

Using oil prices to force the US economy into a dead end was a big move that Andre had been planning for a long time. It can be said that since the attack on Iran, Andre has been planning to control the entire Middle East oil resources and then attack the US economy! In particular, when the Americans developed the myth of shale oil, Andre's confidence was further strengthened.

It would certainly not be cost-effective if the US had started to push down prices as soon as it controlled oil. Now, the US is fully developing shale oil and investing huge amounts of money. In this case, if all their shale oil companies were to suffer losses and go bankrupt, the US economy would be ruined!

When the world crude oil price is lower than the extraction price of US shale oil, let's see what the Americans will do!

Historically, such an incident happened in the Soviet Union. Under the manipulation of the United States, the Middle Eastern oil-producing countries significantly increased their production, putting the Soviet Union in a dilemma. If they did not exploit the oil, the oil workers could not be resettled and the oil wells would face the risk of being abandoned. If they exploited the oil, the Soviet Union would need to continue to subsidize the oil industry, which eventually dragged down the Soviet economy.

By the late 1980s, the Soviet Union relied almost entirely on oil exports to earn foreign exchange and then purchase food from Western Europe. As a result, the Soviet Union could no longer make money from oil, domestic supplies were in short supply, and people began to complain.

Now, the Soviet Union's industry is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards the emerging electronics industry. Various electronic products produced by the Soviet Union have already opened up the European market! The Soviet Union's dependence on oil exports has gradually decreased, and on the other hand, of course, the export of arms. So many Soviet military enterprises cannot be maintained only by state funding, but also become profitable units! The joint development of the Super Seven is an example of transformation.

However, the United States has become a country that relies on energy exports to maintain its prosperity. Under such circumstances, the destruction of the US economy is simply pleasing to the eye!

Of course, the world oil price will not drop sharply immediately. It takes time to increase oil production. The game of all parties requires countless rounds of negotiations. It will take at least a year for the production of oil-producing countries in the Middle East to double. At the same time, the world oil price will drop by more than half. By then, if the price does not exceed $50 per barrel, the United States will definitely hold on! And after another year, if it falls to $20 a barrel, I wonder how the United States will feel?

Just thinking about it makes me can’t wait!

But now is not the time to appreciate it. The Soviet Union has more important things to do, which is of course to maintain friendly exchanges with Latin American countries!

At this time, the huge Soviet aircraft carrier fleet had already entered the port of Buenos Aires, and the port was already crowded with people. Argentine friends were welcoming the arrival of the Soviet fleet!

In the past, Argentines welcomed Americans in this way. Unfortunately, the Americans threatened Argentina on its doorstep, causing nationwide resentment. Naturally, Argentines began to have a favorable impression of the Soviet Union.

Of course, this is also related to the government's deliberate guidance. In short, now, Argentines are singing and dancing!

"The Soviet warships are so beautiful!"

"Yes, that's right. I wish I could marry a Soviet sailor. I heard that the Soviet economy is pretty good. You can have whatever you want to eat!"

"Wow, that sailor is so heroic!"

When the warship entered the port, Soviet sailors dressed in festive uniforms lined up on the deck. If viewed from the air, they formed the pattern of a Soviet flag and an Argentine flag!

With the help of several tugboats, the Soviet aircraft carrier finally docked at the pier! This was the first time the Soviet aircraft carrier docked at the pier after sailing out of the Black Sea for several months! When the huge steel battleship approached the pier, although it was helped by the tugboats and slowly touched, it still caused a shock to the pier.

On the shore, Argentine Navy Commander Anaya was in high spirits. He hid his excitement and boarded the Soviet Union!

Although Argentina also has its own aircraft carriers, compared with the Soviet Union's aircraft carriers, their own aircraft carriers are just children's toys. The Soviet Union's aircraft carriers are real aircraft carriers!

Some of the fighter planes that could not fit into the hangar were piled up on one side of the deck. The entire deck looked as big as a basketball court, especially the four catapults at the bow, which were shining brightly. The bridge was huge, with countless electronic equipment piled on it.

"General Anaya, welcome aboard the Soviet Union for a visit!" On the deck, Andrei welcomed Anaya on behalf of the entire fleet.

The two hands clasped together, and Anaya said with an embarrassed expression: "General Andre, originally, our president was going to come here in person to greet you, but recently, the activities of American agents were discovered here. In order to prevent assassinations by the Americans, he can only stay in the presidential palace and wait for you."

Galtieri wanted to come and welcome them in person, but unfortunately, he was still afraid of being hit by American sniper bullets!

Andre nodded. "Let the president come here to greet us. That would be a superb reception. Everyone is welcome to visit. I will take you to the bridge."

In fact, it was not only Galtieri who was worried about sniping. Andrei was also worried about accidents, so he only showed up on the deck and then took these people into the bridge.

This is a steel fortress! Walking into the bridge, standing on it, and looking at everything around him, Anaya exclaimed: "This aircraft carrier is really good. If our Argentine economy recovers, we really want to order one from your country!"

With the continuous victory in battles, the confidence of the Argentine Navy is also constantly growing. Argentina's May 25th aircraft carrier is only a 20,000-ton light aircraft carrier that carries less than 20 aircraft. Moreover, due to limited speed and poor catapult performance, during the last attack, the wind speed in the Atlantic disappeared, resulting in their inability to launch A-4 carrier-based aircraft, which makes them feel uneasy.

With the recovery of the Falkland Islands, the Argentine Navy needs more maritime rights to protect. With the development of oil resources around the Falkland Islands, Argentina's economic situation will also improve. Therefore, Anaya really wants to build a large aircraft carrier.

Andre shook his head. "General Anaya, our aircraft carrier is expensive to build and maintain, which is not cost-effective for you. If you have a need, we can help you modify the aircraft carrier, such as increasing the power of the catapult and improving the ability to launch aircraft. We can also export our advanced MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft to you. Of course, these are all matters for the future. At this stage, the most important thing for us is how to deal with the six-carrier formation of the Americans."
