Nathan will never know that he has such a great charm. Nathan just knows that if you want to avoid the ultimate fate of the United States in the Red Soviet Union, you must integrate the entire Western world to resist the expansion of the Soviets. .
Now, the war on the Falklands is no longer just a matter of Britain. It must be observed on the situation of the entire world.
"Well, let's discuss now how many armed forces we can dispatch." said Mrs. Thatcher.
As a prime minister, it is impossible to know everything about the army clearly. Of course, he needs reports from lower-level personnel.
"Fortunately, in the past two years, we have not lost our aircraft carrier construction." Admiral John Feldhaus said: "Now, we can mobilize three aircraft carriers to participate."
If the Ark Royal has been decommissioned according to the arrangements of the previous prime minister, what else do we have
And now, there is the Royal Ark, the newly commissioned Invincible, and the Oriskani purchased from the United States. In this way, we have three aircraft carriers and can operate 80 Tomcat carrier aircraft. Here, an expedition is enough to protect the air safety of the fleet.
It’s just that the Oriskani has not yet completed its transformation, and it will take some time for those Tomcat fighters to be replaced with the latest engines, as well as the training of its own carrier-based pilots, etc., a lot of headaches. Thing!
Perhaps we should not think things so badly. What if it is an accidental episode and a large-scale war will not break out
Just thinking of this in my heart, I saw an adjutant hurried in.
"Prime Minister, let me give you a message. Just an hour ago, the Argentine army landed on the Falkland Islands and our defenders have surrendered."
what
So fast
Nathan's worries are indeed correct!
When he heard this happened, Wu Huade felt his body sway. Sure enough, what did that sentence say? When you have a premonition that things will not be so bad, how bad they will become!
The Argentines actually completed the war deployment in such a short time and landed on the Falkland Islands, making them even more passive! Even the reinforcements were too late to be sent out.
He is discussing how to increase the defending force of the Falkland Islands and how to deal with the possible situations. Who would have thought that the Argentines would do it. Is the military president responsible for this sharp knife
The Falkland Islands, the Argentines called the Malvinas Islands, are an archipelago located on the continental shelf of Patagonia in the South Atlantic. The main island is located about 500 kilometers east of the southern coast of Patagonia, South America, at 52° south latitude. The entire archipelago includes Soledad Island, Great Malvina Island and 776 small islands with a total area of 12,200 square kilometers.
Regarding the ownership of this island, there is a great controversy in history. During the colonial era of the empire, the island was first seen by the British navigator Davis on the Aspire in 1592. According to them The logic of this island should belong to them. It's that simple who finds it and who owns it.
History has passed for two hundred years. In 1816, Argentina, which declared independence from Spain, claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.
The reason is also very simple, because the Malvinas Islands are in the South Atlantic waters east of the southern tip of Argentina, only more than 500 kilometers away from Argentina, and tens of thousands of kilometers away from the United Kingdom! This is the mark left by the British colonial era and should not be recognized!
Regarding the sovereignty of islands, the two countries have experienced many consultations, and even under the mediation of the United Nations, they could not reach a consensus. And now, Argentina finally resorted to force and recovered Falkland Islands with actual force!
For Britain, this is a barbaric violation, and the Falkland Islands are a sacred and inseparable part of Britain!
"The navy immediately formulated a combat plan to complete preparations for the expedition as soon as possible." Mrs. Thatcher said: "Now, immediately connect me to the White House."
Mrs. Thatcher encountered this incident as soon as she took office. This is the time to test her ability to govern. She must not make any compromises. If she compromises slightly here, the territory will be lost. Moreover, the Soviet Union What do people think
The United States and Britain are the closest allies. Now, when she heard the news, Mrs. Thatcher immediately decided to talk to the United States on the phone as soon as possible.
Due to the time difference, I waited for more than ten minutes for this call to hear the lazy voice from over there: "I am President Carter."
"I am Mrs. Thatcher." said the Iron Lady: "The Argentines occupied our Falkland Islands. Now, I want to ask our friend the attitude of the United States."
Hearing this news, Iron Lady's face changed in an instant. In the past few years, the world is really not peaceful! The conflict in the Middle East has just ended, and the South Atlantic has begun to war again!
Britain has no other choice but to use force to solve the Falkland Islands problem! Since she is called the Iron Lady, of course Mrs. Thatcher will not compromise!
"Mr. Carter, our Falkland Islands have been brutally invaded." Mrs. Thatcher said to Reagan, "I don't know what you think?"
When he heard this news, he was awakened from his sleep, and President Carter, who is still confused now, immediately became sober: "What? Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands?"
Hearing the word aggression, Mrs. Thatcher was satisfied. This is President Carter’s attitude. However, President Carter’s name is Falkland Islands, which makes her dissatisfied. It is obviously the Falkland Islands, which must be named after us. !
President Carter's mind was spinning quickly, and Mrs. Thatcher was also waiting for these few seconds of silence.
There is no need for the United States to send troops. After all, this time it is not about the United States or NATO. It is a private territory of the United Kingdom. However, the United States can still call for something, such as a comprehensive arms embargo and economic blockade against Argentina. , To help Britain on the side, or to support some weapons and ammunition, intelligence, etc., for the United Kingdom. Everyone is in the same camp. There must be a stand for this kind of thing, right
However, Mrs. Thatcher was disappointed. For a long time, she said over there: "I will send the Secretary of State to Argentina tomorrow to make a serious protest to the Argentine President, and communicate with him to try to solve the Falklands issue peacefully."
"Fuck." Mrs. Thatcher hung up the phone.
Peaceful solution? The other party slapped you, did you pull the other party to sit down and settle it peacefully? You must return this slap first, and then talk about how to solve it!
Peace, peace, the president of peace knows how to chant peace! (End of this chapter)
