The European Community is on the British side, which is good news for the current United Kingdom. The United Kingdom can finally gain the advantage of Argentinian public opinion that supports Latin American countries on the basis of the Commonwealth countries.
Although there is still a little noise, and this noise comes from countries with similar systems to the Soviet Union, from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific, can the words of the enemy count?
"Anything that is anti-imperialist and anti-feudal is bullshit. Once we finish fighting this war, the so-called anti-colonial and righteous voices will all shut up."
Alan Wilson was holding a book and flipping through it nonchalantly. Then he seemed to remember something, "I heard that the Chinese history textbook will be revised this year. Order a set from me. Let's see where the historical research in the new era has come.
"
If nothing else, a new version of the illustrations should appear, which will be different from the previous textbooks. What are the specific differences? Taking the Yuan Dynasty as an example, the northern border reaches directly to the Arctic Ocean.
Of course this has nothing to do with Britain, which has no territory in the Arctic Ocean, but he estimated that the Soviets would be very interested.
Now that the main fleet has arrived at Ascension Island, the war has not officially started yet, because the task force with the guided missile battleship and Centaur aircraft carrier as its core is still halfway there.
The combat plan has been finalized. Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands must be occupied. Otherwise, the British air force will not be able to threaten the Argentine mainland. Even if Buenos Aires is a coastal city, it cannot count on Vulcan strategic bombers.
Every time they went out, they would cross half the Atlantic and drop a few tons of bombs and then come back.
If typhoons and strong winds are to pose a threat to the Argentinian mainland, these two fighter jets will be of no use unless the two islands are taken down. Unlike the original history, the United Kingdom does not have Sea Harrier fighter jets in use.
While waiting for the Tshun fleet, the Organization of American States, represented by Peruvian President Belaunde, came forward to mediate the Anglo-Afghan conflict. United Nations Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar also participated, and after General Haig, he
to mediate military conflicts between the two countries.
We have already reached this point. Even if Mrs. Thatcher agrees, he will not agree. However, it will take time for the task force to arrive. From the perspective of diplomatic etiquette, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
While paying tribute to the mediators, the squadron, with the Queen Victoria-class aircraft carrier as the main force, has set off from Ascension Island, with the goal of first seizing South Georgia Island as a base for counterattack.
When the squadron set off, the hard-core British traitor, the Secretary-General of the Cabinet in the United Kingdom and the United States, was still on the phone with Washington, "Our goal is of course to march forward with our chests proudly puffed out, and the Argentines will collapse without a fight, but
We must also come up with something real as a deterrent, otherwise the Argentines will not be afraid of us and the UK will be in a very embarrassing situation."
This statement is like 1962, when Nehru believed that as long as Indians take firm steps to express India's bravery, a certain big country will make concessions. It seems to mean the same thing.
This war does not require bluffing by the Argentines themselves. The British side has already chosen the subject to shape public opinion. It is nothing more than that Argentina under the leadership of the military government has a strong will to fight. As a country led by military leaders, Argentina has experienced hundreds of years of experience.
Having seen more battles, the whole country's morale was unprecedentedly high and it was ready for a fight to the death.
British citizens must understand that defending national interests comes at a certain price, and they cannot expect that as soon as the British Expeditionary Force arrives, the Argentines will collapse without a fight.
The tension in public opinion was completely opposite to what Alan Wilson said to the Americans at this time. The words were clear and authoritative but did not give in. But in a suggestive tone, it showed that Britain was very afraid of capsizing in the sewer.
Faced with Alan Wilson's rhetoric, Washington expressed its understanding. Just as before the Gulf War, even the United States itself did not expect to achieve an unprecedented victory. The Pentagon predicted that Britain would take back the Falklands, which was already defended by the Argentine army. How could it take four people? Countless casualties.
Looking at it this way, Britain's caution is understandable. At the same time, the Pentagon also suggested to Reagan that he might as well wait and see whether Britain, the former world hegemon, still has martial arts skills today.
This is a question that the United States has always been interested in. Is the old father still okay now? The world does not have the Suez Canal War as a reference. On the contrary, the Korean War and the Vietnam War fought by the United States have been seen by all countries in the world. It seems that there is no combat effectiveness. Too good.
As the second strongest country in Latin America, at least that is how Argentina defines itself. How far it can compete with the United Kingdom is of great interest to all walks of life in the United States.
Even the American public opinion has started a discussion on this, believing that although Britain has brought out the most powerful force after the war, it is impossible for Britain to win easily because the Argentine defenders are busy on the expedition and the Argentine defenders are waiting for work.
"Such comments count for a pound." Alan Wilson, who was homeless, puffed up his chest proudly when faced with Arnold who came out to find him, and began to fight like a man possessed by Chang Gong again. Besides, "Did your mother ask you to come home to me?"
"Well, it's not that. I just came here to see my father. Until my eldest brother comes back safely, I have to work hard for my father. Anyway, you have a place to live." Arnold shrugged and said, for example, you can pay attention to Princess Margaret's personal life. Life, this is not a problem.
"This is the first time your mother has been arguing with me for such a long time." Alan Wilson sighed quietly, patted his youngest son on the shoulder and complained, "Good son, you should be on my side. You and I are both men. "
Good boxing! Arnold was in awe, but being awe-inspiring could not change anything, "I can't let my father go back. My mother is angry now. Me standing on your side is just one more victim, so we still cherish the thought." Best wishes, my brother will come back after making great achievements and everything will be gone."
"You are really my good son." Alan Wilson smiled like a smiling tiger. He looked at Arnold with special eyes. He was really a good boy with a flexible moral bottom line. So he sacrificed his father?
Homeless supreme authority, but still lack of people to take care of him? Hepburn, for example, has a strong interest in taking in the Cabinet Secretary-General. If he hadn't been busy recently, he would have to go to Monroe and receive foreign friends every day. It's no problem living in Hepburn.
Arnold was very clear about this. His father indeed sacrificed too much for this country.
Then he asked a bright girl to drive over. Alan Wilson asked his son happily, "What's your name?"
"Elizabeth Hurley." Arnold told the truth. He also knew her from the beauty pageant. However, she did not participate in the beauty pageant. Instead, she happened to appear in the photos when he was practicing his photography skills.
As the task force approaches Latin America, the Atlantic Fleet can already begin operations, targeting South Georgia Island. South Georgia is part of the Falkland Islands and is also where the British Antarctic research base is located, so there are supply aircraft on the island.
With runways for takeoff and landing, retaking South Georgia will provide a base for land-based fighters that cannot take off and land.
South Georgia is very close to Antarctica, more than 1,000 kilometers from the Falkland Islands, and more than 2,000 kilometers from the Argentine mainland. It is both safe and can provide guarantees for subsequent operations.
There are only 200 defenders on the island. Compared with the size of the island, landing is not difficult for the British troops. The biggest difficulty is not to anger the seals on the island. The seals and walruses on the island far exceed the number of Argentine defenders.
Because the target of the main fleet was too large and dangerous from the air, the special boat squadron took on the task of landing from the sea through small landing craft.
There were anti-submarine helicopters in the air as cover, and more than 40 British soldiers landed on the island under the cover of the guns of the task force warships, and quickly launched an attack. This caught the unprepared defenders by surprise, and they became prisoners before they understood what was going on.
, this is not even a battle.
However, there are battlefields beyond the battlefield, and the war of public opinion is equally important. Alan Wilson, who received the news in London, did not care about the facts at all, and directly called the major newspapers to prove its reliability to Britain, "The Special Boat Squadron has
Fight against the Gods and capture South Georgia in one hour and twenty-two minutes. The British Empire is invincible. I hope to see such reports soon."
If the only hegemony of public opinion that has not suffered any losses cannot do this, Alan Wilson will definitely be quite disappointed. Taking South Georgia Island is extremely beneficial to Britain. At least Britain has a foothold where it can land land-based fighter jets against
There is a threat to the Falkland Islands.
For British citizens who have been receiving no news after leaving Hong Kong, even small pieces of good news can make them put aside their worries, fearing that there will be no news at all.
The news of the victory in capturing South Georgia Island came at the right time. The whole of Britain fell into a carnival. Even the poorest patriots in the East End of London would puff up their chests proudly when they heard the news that Britain had recaptured South Georgia Island.
"The British have indeed not fought for too long." U.S. Secretary of State General Haig is a soldier. How could he not know the inside story? The Pentagon also has unanimous opinions on this island-seizing operation. There is nothing worth saying, unlike
It was what the British media called a divine weapon descending from heaven.
At least for now, the U.S. military, which has prepared peanuts and melon seeds, does not feel that it is getting into the real drama, but they also admit that the British Expeditionary Force has a foothold, and the subsequent impact will still be great.
As for taking South Georgia in one hour and twenty-two minutes, that is very ridiculous. It is just a spiritual victory method. It is understandable that the United States has no need to expose Britain's internal propaganda.
President Reagan's face is inevitably disappointed. This is not the war she imagined. It has been boring so far. Is there a big drama behind it?
