The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The British were mobilizing for war and forming and training an expeditionary force.

Argentina was also not idle. Supplies, weapons and ammunition were continuously transported to the Falkland Islands to build a defense line, create coastal defense artillery, deploy shore-based anti-ship missiles, build more airports, and mobilize aircraft with the intention of turning the Falkland Islands into an unsinkable super aircraft carrier.

Argentina naturally knew about the British actions.

Back then, during the Falklands War, Argentina was actually not prepared to fight a war with Britain, and was not even mentally prepared to fight a war with Britain.

But Armando Mayora is different. He is a military man and began making preparations as early as when he was in charge of Argentina. The war of words over the Falkland Islands lasted for several years, which was all preparation for war.

In recent years, Argentina has strengthened its military construction and is also preparing for war.

In addition to the economic crisis, another reason for choosing to take back the Falkland Islands now is that Argentina's military strength has been greatly strengthened.

Military strength is Armando Mayora's confidence.

Even if Britain purchased a large amount of arms and formed an expeditionary force with great fanfare, it was thousands of miles away from Argentina. How many points of Britain's ten points of effort could it use on Argentina?
As for Argentina, all its efforts can be put into the Falkland Islands!

Since taking the Falkland Islands by force, Armando Mayora's approval rating has hit a new high in the polls.

The whole of Argentina was greatly encouraged, and Britain's war mobilization only further angered Argentina instead of making Argentina afraid, terrified, and make concessions.

The focus in Argentina is no longer on the previous financial and economic crises, or the government's rescue measures, but on the Falkland Islands and preparations for another fight with the British.

This is outsourcing the conflict!

The most common means of shifting conflicts outward is to provoke external conflicts!

Argentina is using it, and so is the UK!

Armando Mayora used the Falkland Islands to divert Argentina's internal conflicts, and Britain also used this as a means to divert conflicts after making up its mind.

Originally, the British people were very resentful of the government's rescue measures, but with the Falklands incident, everyone in Britain wanted to teach Argentina a lesson again, and no one was paying attention to economic issues anymore.

Both sides are rubbing their fists and the war of words is escalating.

At this time, Liu Tao was attending the Panshan Sports Team Commendation Conference.

Now the sports system of Panshan Group has been built quite well. Every company under Panshan Group has a sports team, each with its own strengths.

Panshan Sports Team is now almost equivalent to the headquarters team, and it gathers the strongest people in the entire Panshan Group's sports system.

At the same time, it is also the largest source of talents for the Chinese national team.

There are a large number of national players in the Panshan Sports Team.

Just the Panshan Sports Team, the number of athletes, coaches, medical staff, etc. has already exceeded a thousand.

In addition to the athletes who won gold, silver and bronze medals in the Beijing Olympics, this commendation conference also included well-known coaches, team doctors, and others.

A strong sports country does not rely solely on athletes, but on the entire sports system.

This system is improving in all aspects, and the entire sport is improving!
Standing in the center is Liu Jingming, who helped the Chinese men's basketball team win a precious gold medal with a buzzer-beating shot in the Olympic finals this year. As the two heroes, Liu Jingming and Yao Ming are both in the center, Liu Jingming to the left of Liu Tao and Yao Ming to the right of Liu Tao.

Also in the C position are Liu Qingan, Liu Yingqing, Liu Manhua, Guo Jingjing, Zhang Jike and others.

There were 30 athletes who won gold medals!
The location for group photos is very particular.

The gold medal winners and the higher the gold content of the medals, the closer they are to the middle, and the closer they are to Liu Tao. At the commendation conference, it seems that all the awards are a red certificate, but not all are the same, there are still grades.

The material rewards obtained at different levels are also very different.

The highest level, in addition to a reward of 500 million RMB, also received a most luxurious Huaxia car.

As for the lowest level, the reward is 100 million RMB plus a Huaxia car worth 30 RMB.

Athletes have different pasts, and recognition of coaches, team doctors, etc. is also divided into different levels.

There should be both spiritual rewards and material rewards.

After the group photo, everyone visited the Panshan Museum together. This is also a museum unique to the Panshan Group. In addition to some precious cultural relics, the main thing it tells about the past of the Panshan Group.

The Panshan Group Sports System is also an important part of the Panshan Group. There is also a special area for the Panshan Group Sports System. Those who can enter the museum and be admired by everyone are gold medalists in various events, famous coaches, outstanding medical staff, etc.

To be recorded in history is what the Chinese people have always pursued.

This also lets athletes, coaches and others know that through hard work they can go down in history and be admired by others.

Of course, those who can become excellent athletes may not necessarily become excellent coaches after retirement. These are very different fields.

Just like volleyball, the creator of the women's volleyball spirit and the only athlete who truly transformed into a top coach was Lang Ping.

The same is true in other areas.

Liu Tao and everyone else entered the museum, which recorded every detail of Panshan Group and narrated the past of Panshan Group.

For example, Wang Tiezhu led everyone and established the third-line factory "Panshan Machinery Factory" through hard work. The representative figure here is Wang Tiezhu, the founder of Panshan Machinery Factory and the first factory director.

Since 1978, Liu Tao's name has run through the 30-year history of Panshan Group. Behind every model of guns, tank models, etc., there is Liu Tao's name.

Of course, the changes in personnel in every group photo of the Party Committee meeting also represent the development of Panshan Group.

The camp is made of iron and the soldiers are flowing water.

Even the leadership of Panshan Group has been changing. The only one who has remained in the past 30 years is Liu Tao, who has always been in the C position.

Looking at the group photos of the Party Group meetings, scenes flashed involuntarily through Liu Tao's mind.

Some of these colleagues have retired and are enjoying their retirement life, while some have passed away.

Of course, there are also some colleagues who continue to shine in various fields.

There were also some colleagues who lost their ideals, betrayed their beliefs, and ended up in jail.

Everyone sees a different scenery.

Just like Liu Jingming, he saw himself as a young swimmer, winning gold medals one after another, and finally won the first gold medal in the Chinese swimming event in the Olympics, making history and becoming famous throughout the country and even the world. Unfortunately, due to growth barriers, he was too tall to continue to be an athlete, so he was forced to actively transform into a basketball player. Then in the history of the basketball team, he saw the growth process of the past ten years, making progress every year, and then creating milestones step by step.

Yao Ming sat in the chair, he saw himself as a young man with a green face and high spirits, but now there is a high probability that his career is almost over.

Do you regret it?
No regrets!
The athlete's career is over, but his new life has just begun! (End of this chapter)
