British Civil Servants Chapter 1553 President Reagan
Alan Wilson has been going to the Ministry of Defense more frequently in the past few days and asked Maxkins to come up with a plan for a full-scale war with Argentina. This surprised Maxkins, "Argentina and the United Kingdom have a good relationship."
"Yes, yes, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense to draw up war plans for various countries." Alan Wilson answered lightly, "If it cannot do this, it does not mean that the British defense
Does the department lack professionalism?"
The truth is this. When Makins was thinking this, Alan Wilson added, "Of course, there is no need for Minister Francis to know about this matter. He is more suitable to visit allies and talk about military trade, such as improving the brigade."
A large-scale air defense system is quite suitable for him."
In the first half of the year, British Defense Secretary Francis Pym visited China, focusing on discussions on military trade cooperation. The bulk of this was the comprehensive modernization and modification of China's guided missile destroyers and the installation of the British "Sea Darby" medium-range air defense missile system.
Alan Wilson is not so forgetful. The Soviet Navy’s priority in building its navy is anti-ship. The Soviet Union’s allied navies are all very good at anti-ship. Even the Soviet Red Navy is like this. But what about other aspects? I can only say that
Everyone who understands understands.
Who allowed the Soviet Red Navy to be used to die together in the Soviet combat system? After severely damaging the enemy's navy, it used the Soviet Union's world-leading ground weapons to sweep across the Eurasian continent.
If we compare Argentina with a certain big country, the current level of modernization of the Argentine Navy is still a little more advanced than that of the People's Navy, but in a fight, the Argentine Navy will definitely be eaten alive.
After all, the hundreds of submarines of a certain great power during the Cold War are not just decorations. Normally, the surface fleet must have an advantage over the underwater fleet, but it also depends on what kind of surface fleet it is. The Royal Navy has an advantage over the Third Reich Navy.
Let the Royal Navy face the German wolves with ten destroyers, and the wolves will only tear the Royal Navy into pieces.
At the level of quantity, the Argentine Navy is still far behind the People's Navy. This gap cannot be widened by more advanced weapons.
"What is the goal of the battle plan?" Maxins didn't know that Alan Wilson was comparing the differences between imaginary enemies and asked what the goal of the battle plan was.
"Just? Let's take the capture of Buenos Aires as the goal." Alan Wilson was a little unconfident when faced with this question, but he immediately shook his teeth and answered, "What about? Of course we want to capture the enemy's capital.
The capital of Argentina is a coastal city, and if a war breaks out, it will be destroyed."
Ignoring Makins' stunned expression, Alan Wilson put his hands in his trouser pockets and left, comparing whether Argentina was a suitable opponent. Simply put, whether Argentina was in the comfort zone of the United Kingdom. On the surface, Argentina and the United Kingdom gave others
The impression left was about the same. The navy and air force were strong, but the army was a little weaker.
But the United Kingdom is not actually a country that people think of as lagging behind the Army. The United Kingdom plays a direct role in facing the ground power of the Warsaw Pact in Europe and undertakes important defensive tasks.
The Lain Army is a heavily armored corps. The US troops stationed in Germany are only the flanks of the Warsaw Pact. As for the French army, let alone the rear area.
It is definitely a mistake to think that the British Army is just a soy sauce. Alan Wilson even believed that if you want to fight well, you must create a combat plan with the British Army as the core of the attack.
"Can it be fought with the effect of the Gulf War?" Alan Wilson asked in his office. He definitely wanted to fight the war with the appearance of losing face, instead of going all the way to lose face.
The historical Falklands War did not give people the impression that it was a shame as described on the Chinese Internet. In fact, after Argentina's defeat, Britain did have a good reputation. After all, Britain was a victorious country and Argentina was a defeated country.
Not to mention the adjective "even though it was an honor to lose", it is also true that Britain did not win beautifully.
What Alan Wilson hoped for was a performance as stunning as the Gulf War, and he would definitely not accept an outcome like the Falklands War. The Rhine Army Group stationed in Germany must be pulled in if necessary.
When the British Foreign Secretary visited Argentina, Alan Wilson secretly began to collect Argentina's military intelligence. MI6 received an order to find out all the information about the Argentine army within a year and assess Argentina's military strength.
.
On this day, the Foreign Secretary, Peter Alexander Carrington, formally proposed the British proposal to the military government in the Argentine capital. The sovereignty of the Falkland Islands could belong to Argentina, but it should be leased to the United Kingdom free of charge.
At that time, Britain will hand over sovereignty to Argentina, but Argentina will keep his proposal secret.
This made the generals of the military government overjoyed and asked if the British government really thought so.
Carrington replied that the United States also wanted this to happen. Britain no longer had interests in the Americas. For the sake of relations with the United States, it should withdraw gracefully from American affairs. This was something that should have been done long ago.
Ranwen
It is Britain's pursuit to hand over the entire Atlantic to its allies so that Britain can concentrate on dealing with Asian issues. Carrington also lost no time in proposing disarmament and reducing the size of the Royal Navy. The current heavy military burden and the government's
Cost-saving policies are incompatible.
Carrington's visit can be regarded as a milestone in Anglo-Argentinian relations in recent years, but I wonder if Carrington's name will be discredited in Argentina in a few years.
But you can't say that the Foreign Secretary is lying, because even Carrington himself believed that this was what the British government meant, and that was what Mrs. Thatcher ordered him to do.
Before leaving, Carrington also said that the Argentine military government was an important force in containing pro-Soviet forces in America, and that Britain had a high opinion of the Argentine army, etc.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is this the battle plan formulated by the Ministry of Defense?" Alan Wilson held the battle plan with the ink still wet, and asked whether the Ministry of Defense was eating dry food.
, and then made his previous suggestions more concrete, "I hope to formulate a combat plan around low casualty standards. The combat plan is more imaginative."
After Magins went home, Alan Wilson held a meeting with the head of MI6 to discuss the specific role of Argentine democrats. This model of military government is not good to hear, and there have always been very broad opponents, even if Argentina is the representative.
The Latin American and American military governments are professionals in this regard and cannot ignore the existence of such opponents.
This kind of democrat is very suitable as a volunteer to defend the Falklands. Only by making good use of this kind of opposition can the Argentine military government make illogical decisions. Military governments are not only found in Argentina, but also in South Korea.
"We have been advising President Carter to overthrow the Chun Doo-hwan government, but in the end we have not succeeded. We hope there will be another good news this year."
After the Gwangju incident, Alan Wilson clearly suggested that Chun Doo-hwan should be removed from office, and he first set an example by asking the colonial government of Malaya to initiate sanctions against South Korea, and roped in Myanmar, Thailand, Bangladesh, and the Republic of Kalimantan to follow suit.
.
Although Britain is still a colonial empire so far and has no reason to do this, the world is like this. Britain can do this, but South Korea cannot do this.
Alan Wilson has always been concerned about Japan and South Korea in East Asia. Currently, Japan has become a very powerful opponent by virtue of its huge population, at least compared to Malaya's huge population.
But South Korea's development speed will definitely be affected. On the one hand, the United States has not strangled Japan's neck and opened the market to allow South Korea to check and balance Japan. On the other hand, South Korea's early accumulation, such as going to the Middle East to make the first pot of gold, has
He was blocked.
The situation of South Korea at this time is much worse than that of the same period in history. Alan Wilson is not trying to do anything to South Korea, but it is also difficult for the UK now. If he wants to reasonably and legally exclude South Korea, a nascent country's industrial products, he must pay close attention to Gwangju.
Only in this way can we take the moral high ground and impose sanctions on South Korea.
The effect is also very significant. At the previous European Community meeting, Mrs. Thatcher’s proposal to reduce Britain’s membership dues was dismissed as air. However, the proposal to sanction South Korea and prevent Korean industrial products from entering the European Community countries was still ignored.
Passed successfully.
In this way, before the U.S. election begins, the United Kingdom has settled the matter. Otherwise, if Reagan, a president who does not care about morality, comes to power, the Gwangju incident will not be important. If he wants to protect the market in Europe, there will be no excuse.
Now that the resolution on sanctions has been proposed, if you want to withdraw it, you need the European Community to study it first, and it is normal to study it for several years.
After assigning the task of contacting the Argentine opposition, Alan Wilson came home from get off work and watched soap operas at Monroe's place. Monroe praised herself, "I used to be more feminine than the heroine here, but by the way, you never seem to be." Watch my movie."
"I don't watch Vivian's movie either. If there is anything to watch, I'm not the leading actor." Alan Wilson curled his lips and said, "Seeing you guys falling in love on the screen makes me very sick."
"You must be the leading actor, right?" Monroe pursed her lips and chuckled, winking at the man, "Why don't you take out the private collection version and see how strong your physique was ten years ago."
"Asking knowingly." Alan Wilson said tacitly, ready to appreciate the private collection edition that would ruin his reputation.
This day was also the date of the US election. A listless Alan Wilson went to work and showed up at No. 10 Downing Street energetically, listening to the news that Reagan had become the new president of the United States.
"It seems that Sir has known about it for a long time." Mrs. Thatcher said when she saw the Cabinet Secretary's lack of interest.
"What do you know? Oh!" Alan Wilson replied listlessly, "Of course, Ronald is my friend and we have always kept in touch. From a personal perspective, I want to congratulate him."
