The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

George Wharton held talks with British Prime Minister Blair.

George Walton said at a joint press conference after the talks that Blair was his good friend and a clear-minded strategic thinker.

George Walton said he and Blair discussed Iraq, Persia, Afghanistan, the Middle East and peace issues, and the two had "common positions" on many issues.

In his speech, Blair stressed the importance of the Anglo-American alliance. He said that Britain will continue to be a firm and loyal ally of the United States on counter-terrorism, Iraq, Afghanistan and other issues, and the two countries should maintain cooperation on issues such as counter-terrorism, energy, climate change and Africa.

Everyone knows that Blair's visit to the United States this time is his last official visit to the United States. Because Blair strongly supported the United States in launching the Iraq War, his reputation in the UK plummeted and he was finally forced to announce his resignation next month under pressure.

One of the most important purposes of Blair's visit to the United States this time is to seek US support on the Falkland Islands.

When reporters asked George Wharton what his position was on the Falkland Islands, George Wharton said that war could not solve any problems and that the Falkland Islands issue should be resolved through political consultations between Argentina and the United Kingdom and through dialogue.

At the same time, George Wharton emphasized the importance of the US-UK alliance and sternly warned Argentina not to use force to unilaterally resolve the Falkland Islands issue.

Obviously, George Wharton gave Blair face when he came to the United States in person.

Compared to Britain, Argentina is insignificant.

This is the most direct and severe statement the United States has made on the Falkland Islands issue so far.

After the news came out, it caused an uproar in Argentina!
Argentine people took to the streets to protest against the Americans' favoritism towards Britain and their interference in Argentina's internal affairs.

Armando Mayora severely criticized the Americans, saying, "The Falkland Islands belong to Argentina. Argentina has sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. Argentina will definitely take back the Falkland Islands, even at the cost of a war."

Countries in the South American Union have spoken out, condemning the United States for interfering in other countries' internal affairs and trampling on their sovereignty.

The Union of South America is an alliance of sovereign states established in accordance with the Cuzco Declaration. It has only been established for a few years and has 12 member states and 2 observer states to date. The headquarters of the alliance is located in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, while the Bank of South America is located in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.

12 member countries, including the three Andean Community member countries of Bolivia, Colombia and Peru, the five Southern Common Market member countries of Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Venezuela, as well as Ecuador, Chile, Guyana and Suriname!

They are all South American countries!

The South American Union is to learn from the European Union and establish a free trade zone covering South America. The short-term goal is to abolish tariffs on non-sensitive goods and sensitive goods by 2014 and 2019 respectively. The medium-term goal is to establish an economic integration of South America like the European Union by 2030, and then achieve economic, political and military integration of South America by 2050!

整个南美洲联盟，是一个拥有3.61亿人口、面积1760多万平方公里和国内生产总值突破1万多亿美元、2000亿美元的出口总额、3000亿美元的外债、800万平方公里的森林面积及其占世界总量27%的淡水的地区性组织，其综合能力居世界第5位。

Venezuela and Colombia, as the middle forces, have expressed their support for Argentina.

In recent years, Venezuela and Colombia have always emphasized that South America is the South America of South Americans, not the backyard of Americans! Therefore, when the economy is relatively good, Venezuela and Colombia have been promoting the establishment of the South American Union. After the establishment of the South American Union, Venezuela and Colombia have also been promoting the development of the South American Union.

Not only do Venezuela and Colombia have relatively good economic development, but they have also nationalized oil, natural gas, minerals, railways, and ports, allowing Venezuela and Colombia to have more money to spend on people's livelihood and national defense construction.

Venezuela and Colombia have carried out a series of social reforms, which have also affected South America. Other South American countries are following suit and are carrying out nationalization even in the face of pressure from the United States.

When Chavez was interviewed by the media, he resolutely stated: "Once the Second Falklands War breaks out and the United States sends troops to help Britain, Venezuela will send troops south to help Argentina. The sovereignty of a country cannot be violated!"

Colombia also made similar remarks, saying that it would send troops south to help Argentina maintain its sovereignty, independence and integrity.

The war of words caused by the Falkland Islands has divided the two camps into two camps, which are constantly speaking out against each other.

At this time, Liu Tao was participating in the testing of a weapon.

This weapon is the Dongfeng-17!

The Dongfeng missile is China's truly domestically produced ballistic missile. So far, China has developed three generations of strategic missiles.

第一代战略导弹共6个类型，分别是：东风-1、东风-2、东风-3、东风-4、东风-5、巨浪-1；第二代战略导弹是：东风-21、东风-25、东风-31、东风-41、东风-2以及一个型号的中程巡航导弹；第三代战略导弹主要是在核弹头上的改进。

The Dongfeng missile is also known as the Dongfeng series of missiles because of its wide variety and models. This series of missiles has become the trump card weapon in China's national defense and is a sharp spear!

China needs both a solid shield and a sharp spear.

Only in this way can we deter jackals, tigers and leopards.

Since the imitation of China's first ballistic missile, the Dongfeng-1958 missile, in April 4 and the successful test launch in November 1960, China's strategic missiles have achieved considerable development. The Dongfeng missile family has always been the solid foundation of China's national defense force and has made great contributions to China's peace and tranquility.

So far, China has only exported the Dongfeng-3 to Saudi Arabia. Apart from that, it has never exported any strategic missiles!
The DF-17 is a conventional missile and a new generation of medium-range and short-range conventional missile weapons. Together with other members of the DF- missile family, it forms an equipment system with connected ranges, complementary capabilities, high and low matching, and flexible use. It has the characteristics of all-weather, independent of support, and strong penetration and defense, and can carry out precision strikes on medium-range and short-range targets.

The Dongfeng-17 missile is one of China's two hypersonic missiles. It is a hypersonic gliding missile. Its hypersonic gliding technology makes it as elusive as a "ghost" during flight.

This technology not only reduces the probability of being intercepted by the enemy, but also enables the missile to have extremely high penetration capability.

Its stealth design and precision guidance system make it even more powerful when performing missions. (End of this chapter)
