Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 382

The four Asian Tigers, which are models of economic development, cover an area of ​​more than 600 square kilometers in Singapore, more than 1100 square kilometers in Hong Kong, more than 36000 square kilometers in Treasure Island, and more than 99000 square kilometers in South Korea.

The Falklands, which the United Kingdom and Argentina are competing for, is more than 12000 square kilometers. Its local economic development relies on ship supplies, sheep breeding, fishing, etc., and it is not like the exploration of oil decades later in the original time and space, so now In terms of economic importance, it may not be equal to the small ball in the British professional football game.

But as far as the country is concerned, the account cannot be calculated that way.

For example, polar bears are astonishingly greedy for land, but they can gain future strategic interests by relying on the advantage of encircling most of the North Pole; and in the first 20 years of the 50th century, the British claimed territorial rights over the sub-Antarctic islands and part of Antarctica Among them, Falkland Island, located at about 52 degrees south latitude, played an important role.

If it weren't for the fact that the economy is mired in a quagmire, the government is facing budget cuts, and maintaining the rule of Tsushima requires considerable expenditure, Britain may not have sat at the negotiating table to negotiate with Argentina before.

In terms of how to deal with the former colonies, Britain has long formed a system to safeguard its own follow-up interests, just like dividing India and Pakistan, Iraq and Kuwait, and even in the original time and space, a series of small actions in the process of Hong Kong's return have never been seen before. Simple too.

In the process of negotiating with Argentina, Britain will naturally not be so honest, but the Argentine military government, which is eager to transfer domestic social conflicts, has no patience to wear it down.

You know, for a long time, Argentina has been a middle-level power and a regional power in Latin America, so it still has considerable confidence to break the wrist with the former "Empire on which the sun never sets".

In addition, Argentina also occupies a geographical advantage. The Falkland Islands, 500 kilometers away from the southern coast of Patagonia, the South American continent, is located south of 52 degrees south latitude, while the British mainland is north of 50 degrees north latitude, which is beyond the reach of the other side.

In this way, on March 3, a group of Argentines landed on South Georgia Island, which belongs to the Falklands, and raised the Argentine flag, sounding the prelude to war.

On April 4, Argentina sent troops on a large scale, and the British government in the Falklands announced its surrender on April 2, and Argentina completely occupied the Falklands.

In this phase of the military operation, the price paid by both sides was that one person from the Afghan army was killed and one person from the British army was injured.

Despite previous assurances that the way of life and cultural identity of the people of the Falkland Islands will remain unchanged, Argentina has rushed to implement several measures to change local customs.

These include changing the name of "Port Stanley", the capital of the Falkland Islands, to "Port Argentina", making Spanish the official language of the Falkland Islands, changing the driving rules of vehicles from left to right, and changing the location of streets. All traffic signs have been changed to be the same as those in Argentina.

After the Argentine military police arrived in the Falklands, they immediately included the residents in their files, and based on this, they arrested and deported them "according to the map".

People who often criticize the Argentine military government are priority targets for arrest, such as island residents David Colville and Bill Luxton.

An Irish-Argentinian senior police officer named Patricio Dowling often overstepped his authority, including violence, despite instructions to respect the islanders.

The attention of the two CNN war correspondents in the Falkland Islands is obvious. You can guess with your knees what kind of reaction their reports on this conflict will provoke.

After Tang Huan figured out the reason and the process, he clicked his lips and said to himself that if he thought about it according to his common people's survival wisdom of "everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles" in the original time and space. Well, this matter in front of me is purely asking for trouble; but after the identity, status, and interests have changed, I really can't settle down.

After careful consideration, Tang Huan called Tang Wenmao to give instructions.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. With your current status, there is absolutely no need to do it yourself." As a cousin, Tang Wenmao expressed his opinions at critical moments without ambiguity at all.

"I have my own plan, you don't need to say more." Tang Huan waved his hand resolutely, "By the way, bring that newly hired Rice with her, she has to work."

Tang Wenmao sighed, and walked out of the office helplessly, only to hear Tang Huan remind him before leaving, "You must show your execution power."

……

After Tang Huan arrived in New York, he first met Ted Turner waiting there.

The two did not exchange pleasantries, and the conversation went straight to the point.

"What are you going to do with those two war reporters?" Tang Huan asked.

"What can I do, and it's still so far away." Ted Turner, who was full of frustration, was obviously a little impatient, "Fortunately, there should be no danger, but the local first-hand The news source is gone."

Speaking of this, Ted Turner patted the armrest of the sofa unwillingly, "This trick that was originally a surprise win has already put the three major TV networks at a disadvantage. I didn't expect this accident to happen. What a hell."

"Murdoch's News Corporation can be said to have expanded to the extreme in the newspaper industry. I think he will not let go of the TV network, which is a must for the media."

Tang Huan looked at Ted Turner with a half-smile, "At that time, you will not only have to face the pressure from the three traditional TV networks, but also have to deal with the competition from Murdoch. I have to say, you are quite leisurely now. Time, I am afraid it will be difficult to come back.”

"Am I quite leisurely now?" Ted Turner pointed at his nose and asked depressingly.

"What, do you think my analysis is unreasonable?" Tang Huan spread his hands and asked the same question.

"You are always the most reasonable one." Ted Turner stood up, paced back and forth, finally stopped, stared at Tang Huan and said: "At the same time, you are also the most reasonable one. Tell me, you Any good suggestions?"

"I told you, if you don't listen, I'm wasting my saliva." Tang Huan took a sip from his cup on the ground.

Ted Turner rolled his eyes a few times, then laughed, "I understand, just tell me. Isn't it okay for me to obey your command?"

"Okay then, let me share my plan with you." Tang Huan said after coughing lightly.

"What, you want to donate [-] million US dollars to the United Nations?" Ted Turner stood up again in surprise.

"It's still bearable if we give it in two years." Tang Huan nodded. Seeing Ted Turner making a fuss, he couldn't help but secretly complain, "Look, it's not your money that makes you feel bad. Besides, Well, this US$1990 million pales in comparison to the US$10 billion you donated to the United Nations in the [-]s in the original time and space."

"What I want is the name given by the United Nations, whether it is an observer or humanitarian aid. In Chinese terms, it means that teachers are famous." Tang Huan explained carefully.

"Very bold, good writing." After calming down, Ted Turner praised: "It is really a blessing to be able to cooperate with such an interesting friend like you."

……

Tang Huangang was going to the United Nations headquarters in New York. His uncle Han Anyuan, who was studying at Columbia University in New York, hurried over and asked with a serious expression, "Is there anything worth taking such a risk for you? You know, it's a war zone after all. There are too many uncertainties."

"Did Tang Wenmao look for you?" Tang Huan raised his brows and asked without answering.

"It's all a family. He cares about you from the perspective of a cousin." Han Anyuan sat next to Tang Huan, hugged his shoulders as he did when he was a child, and continued to persuade him sincerely: "Think about it, wealth, beauty, now You don’t need anything, and you are still young, you should enjoy your life, what are you going to do in such a place where the birds don’t shit.”

"Uncle, it's not your style to say such things." Tang Huan punched Han Anyuan affectionately, "I enjoy what you said, but for me, fame and achievements are more exciting."

Han Anyuan stood up angrily, pointed at Tang Huan's nose and reprimanded: "You can't do without you, you kid, you just want to live a good life, what a fool!"

"No zuo no die, why you try?" Tang Huan joked disapprovingly, but Han Anyuan was really annoyed, kicking the nephew who didn't listen.

Tang Huan quickly jumped away. Just as he ran to the door, an assistant handed over a satellite phone, "Miss Deng is calling."

Although the call quality of this device cannot be complimented, Tang Huan still heard Deng Lijun's crying voice, "Can you please stop going to such a dangerous place?"

Tang Huan frowned and thought to himself that this Tang Wenmao was so active that he even notified Deng Lijun who had already gone to Paris.

Originally, according to the plan, Deng Lijun sent the US$100 million Tang Huan won for finding the Titanic, plus the US$100 million Tang Huan added on his own initiative, for a total of US$200 million to the United Nations Children's Fund in New York, and began to work with the United Nations Children's Fund in New York. PolyGram talks about English records.

Perhaps the loss of more than 2 million U.S. dollars in the United States in the past two years was too great a blow. Polygram, which hurt its vitality, even under the premise of actively proposing cooperation, its business ability was greatly reduced, and it did not show enough in the level of record production. sincerity.

In this way, Deng Lijun, who did not want to be a purely money-making tool for the other party, refused to cooperate.

At the same time, the album released by United Artists, which includes three orchestral pieces and "My Heart Will Go On" sung by Deng Lijun, has slowly entered the top ten of the US Billboard [-] album list.

Currently, Deng Lijun's record contract is signed with Hong Kong Polygram and Japan Polygram, therefore, she has no deliberate promotion plan in the United States.

Even so, the American media began to pay enthusiastic attention to this flagship singer of Chinese music.

Deng Lijun, who was familiar with such scenes, was a little overwhelmed, so she went to Paris.

This year's concert hasn't started yet, so Deng Lijun wants to choose her clothes there, which can be regarded as a way to avoid the disturbance of the American media.

But Deng Lijun still couldn't relax, and began to worry about Tang Huan again.

"This itinerary is not as serious as Tang Wenmao said, don't worry, I have my own measure. Be good..." Tang Huan comforted Deng Lijun patiently.

It has to be said that compared to Deng Lijun's delicate feelings, Christina is much careless.

The female ship queen said carelessly: "Honey, the newly built ocean cruise ship has now parked in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. When you pass by, it will sail to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Ya wait."

After Tang Huan handed over the satellite phone to his subordinates, Han Anyuan sighed and said, "Since I can't persuade you, then I will follow you."

Tang Huan hesitated for a moment, and Han Anyuan immediately stared at the situation and asked, "Aren't you sure, then what does it matter if I follow!"

"Okay, then let's go together." Tang Huan bit the bullet and nodded.

Han Anyuan's expression slowed down, and he asked in a low voice: "Even if we are looking for the stimulation of fame and achievement, we must have a clear goal. Please tell me the details of this trip."

……

Regarding the dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom, the United Nations certainly cannot sit idly by, and even Peru and Switzerland participated as third-party mediators.

On April 4, the day after Argentina sent troops to the Falklands Islands, the United Nations Security Council passed resolution SCR3, calling on Argentina to cease fire and withdraw its troops from the Falklands Islands.

But to paraphrase UN Secretary-General Pérez de Cuellar, efforts for peace have not worked.

The attitude of international public opinion on this is nothing more than divided into those factions.

Most Latin American countries support Argentina, with the most glaring exception being Chile, because border conflicts have broken out between the two countries since the 1970s.

Although Chile's General Pinochet and Argentina's Galtieri were both dictators, they did not share the same sympathy.

The former worried that if Argentina defeated the British, it would seriously threaten Chile in turn.

Therefore, Chile provided "extremely important" assistance to the UK.For example, as long as the Argentine Air Force takes off, the British fleet in the open sea will receive an early warning notification from Chile.

Only a powerful party has the capital and confidence to strike from behind.

As an old democratic country, it was invaded by a military dictator. The United Kingdom gained support and favor, and most European countries turned to it.

After Argentina fully occupied the Falklands on April 4, the European Community agreed on April 4 to begin imposing trade sanctions on Argentina.

U.S. President Reagan and the U.S. government took into account that the United States is a member of the American countries, so they did not directly condemn Argentina diplomatically, and maintained the so-called diplomatic neutrality.

However, based on historical and cultural relations, the United States also secretly turned to the United Kingdom to provide it with satellite intelligence.

The current international situation is like this, and the United Nations, apart from providing a place for everyone to quarrel with each other, is often helpless against wars.

Therefore, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Perez de Cuellar, was stunned by Tang Huan's [-] million US dollars, and secretly wondered that we professional diplomats are helpless, and you, a billionaire, can do nothing. What a buzz.
