Alan Wilson, who was off work, only revealed the news to his wife who had returned home while having dinner, "As a general, Galtieri really doesn't take Britain's military power seriously?"
After hearing his wife's words, Alan Wilson was silent for a moment and said, "Perhaps, this outstanding general with an engineering background thinks that the difficulty of the project is beneficial to Argentina. But the greater possibility is that he believes in the promises given by the United States. After all, in America,
The majesty of the Americans is still believable.”
In the original time and space, the vague policies of the United States could make Galtieri think wildly, not to mention that in this world, the United States once promised the United Kingdom in Frankfurt that it would give Argentina enough hints.
Pamela Mountbatten could not understand this matter, but if she did not understand, she would not care. She directly asked, "Since Argentina relies on the United States, what is the bottom line of the Americans?"
"Teaching Argentina a small lesson is what Washington is most willing to see. But fighting at this intensity will not be of much use to Britain. Once it enters a state of war, it must produce a beautiful result. Expanding the scale of the war may be
The pressure from the United States is nothing more than..."
Alan Wilson filled his stomach, blew on the hot soup in the bowl, and after taking a sip, he said, "To put it simply, Argentina must become the target of Britain's heavy attack this time."
Pamela Mountbatten was still thinking, and the words of the head of the family directly made the richest woman furious, "I have always been opposed to Albert joining the army. Now that this has happened, what can I do?"
"There is no way? Are you going to send my son to the battlefield?" Pamela Mountbatten changed her face directly. The couple rushed into combat mode before the British like cockfighting, which was rare in decades. She fiercely accused, "How can there be no way?
?Which troops to send is not a matter of your words? Besides, there are not many ways to keep the children in the country."
"The method you are talking about, do you mean the stupid method of failing to pass the physical examination report? Or do you have to fake physical defects? You have become a colonel, and now you have defects. How did you join the army before?" Alan Wilson did not want to be with his wife
They argue, but slow down their tone and try their best to convince the richest woman that everything is under control.
But this time it doesn't seem to work. Pamela Mountbatten firmly opposed being PUA on the issue of her son's safety, "As long as I am here, you can never use your son's life to gain fame and reputation."
"What does it mean to seek fame and reputation? There is such a thing as patriotism in this world, and if you want to enjoy superhuman treatment and have no risks at all, how can such a good thing be possible?"
Alan Wilson was furious. Not only did he not change his mind, he went a step further and said, "Not only does Albert have to go to the battlefield, but also your friends who usually surround you, the children of dukes and counts, I will take care of them one by one."
If we find them, not a single one will escape in this war."
"War kills people, and anyone who steps on the battlefield will be in danger. During World War I, the British upper class had a deep understanding of this." Pamela Mountbatten said with a look of dissatisfaction.
"That was someone else's war, not a war planned by me. Look at it, I dare not say zero casualties, but there will definitely not be a large number of casualties. The gap between Latin American countries like Argentina and countries like us at the forefront of the Cold War is huge.
In terms of location, regardless of the number of people, the third largest army in the world is the Federal Republic of Germany."
Alan Wilson has made up his mind, no matter what Pamela Mountbatten says, it will be useless, even if he sleeps on the sofa today!
The supreme authority slept on the sofa all night and went straight to work without changing her attitude. This time, nothing the richest woman said was of any use. When she arrived in Whitehall, Ellen Wilson sent a message to Albert, who had only been back in Thailand for two months.
The next step was to go to No. 10 Downing Street to report on the situation in Argentina. It was already April 1. Mrs. Thatcher learned about the movements of the Argentine Navy and said directly, "Why didn't you report yesterday?"
"There is no reason to inform us of Argentina's movements. Can't we still let the Argentine navy leave the port? So it is probably a false alarm. Furthermore, after repeated weighing, there is no need to react now, even if the Argentine soldiers
Before landing on the island, we also need to look at the domestic trends in Argentina to judge what kind of response we should make. Otherwise, what if the Argentinians run away just after we finalize the combat plan? The political benefits are not big, especially
It's for you, Margaret."
"But? Will the opposition parties use this to cause trouble?" Mrs. Thatcher was rarely confident. After all, it was a major event that could lead to a war between two countries. The Iron Lady even ignored the title of Cabinet Secretary.
"According to the speed of the ship, it is nothing more than one day. It is normal to not respond in time. We cannot expect any country to be able to provide early warning to all parts of the world. Of course, this is not possible in Europe. If such a response speed is achieved in Europe, there will be
It’s a big deal.”
Alan Wilson objected to any substantive British response during the voyage. Not only should they wait until the Argentines landed, but they should also first see what changes would happen in Argentina after the landing. If hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to protest
If Galtieri expresses his loyalty, then it will be stable.
With this public opinion, it can be ensured that Galtieri will not dare to slap himself in the face and sell out the inherent territory he has already obtained, and the British side can prepare calmly.
"Is this okay?" Mrs. Thatcher hesitated, while Alan Wilson said that he would provide firm support behind her at all times. The best way is to remain unchanged in the face of changes.
"Anyway, based on the comparison of military strength between Britain and Argentina, I have the advantage." Alan Wilson's face was full of sincerity. He knew that the Iron Lady was under great pressure at this time and needed him.
The only thing worthy of attention in the Argentine military is the air force. The air force is the most modern and combat-capable force among Argentina's military forces. Its pilots are of high quality and its overall strength is second only to Brazil in Latin America.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Argentina’s main equipment includes: seventeen Mirage 3 interceptors; thirty-seven "Dagger" fighter-bombers purchased from Israel; forty-five
A-4B/C Skyhawk attack aircraft; ten old Canberra bombers.
The famous Super Etendard attack aircraft actually belongs to the Argentine Navy. The performance of this attack aircraft is mediocre, mainly because of the miracles created by the Argentine pilots. There is nothing praiseworthy about this attack aircraft itself. Of course, the French Exocet
Missiles should naturally be taken seriously.
In the current United Kingdom, only the head of Whitehall and the cabinet know about Argentina's trends and have started discussions. Not only does Mrs. Thatcher, the prime minister, not only have a low support rate, but she has even been looked down upon for a long time. Only Galtieri has been affected by the economic disadvantages.
Is the economy affected? The Iron Lady is also affected.
Of course Alan Wilson has ways to deal with the problem of unemployed people, but once immigration reaches an economic upswing, the working population has already left. Britain cannot conjure people out of thin air. It will take time for them to grow up in this life, so he cannot help the Prime Minister.
Increase the support rate by eliminating the unemployed population.
This war was also what he was looking forward to, but the two had different expectations for the war. Alan Wilson said more directly, "Deploy the 7th Armored Division from the Rhine Army when necessary."
The British 7th Armored Division, nicknamed the Desert Rats, is a famous British armored force during World War II. Due to its outstanding performance in the North African Campaign, it has always existed in this world and has not followed the old path of divisions being converted into brigades. It is still in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Once we encounter a land battle within the country, we will of course have to pull out this ace unit.
This was different from what Mrs. Thatcher had expected, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "How far do you want to fight the war and still mobilize the British troops stationed in Germany?"
"Why can't we gather 100,000 British Expeditionary Forces?" Alan Wilson said to himself, "I also want to know if the British army can still fight so many years since the World War. But don't worry, there will be other troops to supplement it.
All local troops will not be used. We must let the Argentines know that distance is not a problem. It is okay to expect the United States to create a good diplomatic environment, but in the end we have to fight the war ourselves, and Americans cannot be relied on."
The UK must be prepared to fight independently, rather than relying on NATO to jointly resist the Warsaw Pact. If it can be proven that the UK can independently launch a war and win, at least the UK can prove that it can be proud of any country it faces.
Hold out your chest, open your mouth, or have a special relationship between Britain and the United States.
After this conversation, Mrs. Thatcher was at least superficially convinced that nothing would happen today.
In the distant South Atlantic Ocean, Argentina's troop transports are heading towards the inherent territory they cherish. The purpose of this landing force is to use superior force to overwhelm and surround the few troops stationed on the Falklands. The amphibious landing force consists of 3,000 people.
The few Royal Marines and local police forced him to surrender to reduce unnecessary casualties.
After the occupation is successful, the prisoners of war and residents on the island should be expelled; the occupying troops should complete their withdrawal to their original garrison within 48 hours.
On April 2, Argentinian soldiers landed on the Falkland Islands. The landing soldiers exceeded the British immigrants in the entire archipelago. Faced with this situation, Chief Executive Rex Hunt showed a flexible moral bottom line and directly declared surrender. The reason was:
"Eighteen hundred civilians can hardly argue with hundreds of thousands of troops backed by a huge navy."
The Argentines immediately raised a huge Argentine flag on the island to show that the owner of the islands had changed. Many soldiers burst into tears, proud of being able to participate in this just cause.
When the news reached Buenos Aires, the capital, every patriotic Argentinian stood up proudly, and eleven opposition parties and trade unions announced their support for the just act of national hero Galtieri.
Citizens of Buenos Aires filled the streets to pay tribute to the great General Galtieri, and the celebrations spread to all parts of Argentina.
