British civil servant

So far, this war was caused by the deliberate provocation of the Argentine military government, the first attack, and the repeated refusal of the UK to resolve the dispute peacefully. Of course, the UK is the one that won the victory. , graphite bombs, anti-radiation missiles, aircraft carriers, guided missile battleships, nuclear submarines, typhoons, gusts, or Vulcans, the UK has used all available weapons.

Any country with eyes can see that Britain's victory is undisputed. In fact, before the landing operation, the British government has received obvious and increasingly tough pressure from the United States, but Allen Wilson took the route of his wife and used the contacts established with Reagan's wife Nancy to buy some time for Britain.

Now even the Argentine Presidential Palace has been occupied, and the video of the Rosa Palace raising the Union Jack flag has been spread all over the world. It is meaningless to continue the fight. It is impossible for the UK to occupy the entire territory of Argentina and sublimate it to the limit of the empire on which the sun never sets. The peak of the nineteenth century, so the armistice has become an issue on the table.

When Allen Wilson and Washington were performing, and they were in the United Kingdom, another winner happily agreed to the Ministry of Defense's truce proposal. Mrs. Thatcher was also the winner of this war.

The victory undoubtedly gave Mrs. Thatcher a shot in the arm and had an immeasurable impact on her political career. Just as the failure of the war would ruin the political future of the "Iron Lady", the victory of the war Indeed cemented her hold on the Conservative Party and rule of the country.

Mrs. Thatcher, who couldn't wait to give a national speech, could not help being elated under the halo of victory, threatening that "this country has the determination to accomplish whatever it thinks must be done, and is capable of accomplishing what it thinks is right." .

"We are no longer a weakening nation, we have a renewed confidence in our ability to address economic difficulties. That confidence has been tested and proven invincible on battlefields thousands of miles away."

Otherwise, the faces of politicians can change at will. Before the war started, Mrs. Thatcher's actions were all about ceding the Falkland Islands to Argentina.

"Britain, despite its unquestionable victories and defense of sacred territory, is still willing to give peace a chance. Britain will cease fighting in 48 hours and withdraw its troops from Buenos Aires. This is by no means cowardly , the result is obvious, we are working for peace, but we also have the strength to defend peace."

While Mrs. Thatcher was in high spirits, Henderson, the British ambassador to the United States, was expressing his sincere gratitude to the White House in accordance with Alan Wilson's instructions. The help from the United States cannot be overstated.

But what exactly does it help?It seems that Britain's weapons in this war are all its own. The supreme authority can't think of any way to use the United States. He thinks that the United States should thank him. There is this war and the Fokker that still exists in the future. With regard to the issue of the Orlando Islands, the U.S. has repeatedly talked about the insecurity of Latin America, and at the same time continues to raise interest rates, the explosion of debt problems in Latin America will be more immediate.

Still homeless, he could only temporarily live in Hepburn, listening to Hepburn lamenting the truce and saying, "Then let's celebrate, how about taking you on a rocket."

The first thousand and 580 chapters and six harvests are great

Before the break, Alan Wilson even wondered whether the respected Mr. Maradona would use a hand of God to avenge Britain.

Although this is a spiritual atomic bomb, after I get excited, it can't hurt Britain at all, and it can only bring out Argentina's sorrow even more.

What is certain is that the relationship between the UK and Argentina will not improve in the future. Historically, the UK strictly controlled the scope of the war to the Falkland Islands, and it has not been able to resolve the grievances. What's more, this time the Argentine capital has been breached and the presidential palace has been upgraded The Mi Ziqi was raised.

Even if this kind of hatred is not permanent, Argentina will never forget it within 100 years, and diplomatic relations with Argentina can be abandoned in the future.

For other countries, this war will become a model for research, especially compared with the Iran-Iraq War that was carried out at the same time. Didn't Britain fight this battle quickly and neatly?

Although the final number of casualties has not been reported, it is definitely optimistic as far as the current situation is concerned.

This time the British expedition has won a complete victory. From the report of the occupation of the Argentine Presidential Palace, the British public opinion has been intoxicated. The war of the new era, air-ground warfare, various vocabulary and praises emerge in endlessly, which can be compared with Compared with the lobster soldiers of the empire on which the sun never sets.

This must have an impact on other countries. Allen Wilson remembers that the design of the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber of a certain big country was not cut because of the resolute implementation of this war.

Argentina itself will not only face heavy war losses, but also have a debt of 120 billion US dollars that will expire at the end of the year. Alan Wilson remembers that Argentina once stubbornly learned from the Soviet Union's bad debts, but it was soon miserable by Wall Street. The international community is very realistic. Even if it is a debt, it must be supported by national strength.

If the United States wants to do something now, it must be a good opportunity. The Federal Reserve has already done so, blowing up Argentina's debts and creating panic that spread to the entire Latin American country.

Latin American countries are generally superstitious about mainstream economists' high reliance on external capital inflows to drive their own economic development, debts are repaid, and industrial policies rely on external funds to promote export-oriented industrialization. As a result, the entire Latin American region is in a position of Debt-backed economy, where the entire country floats on top of huge foreign debt.

The chain reaction triggered by Argentina's debt crisis will lead Latin American countries into devastating debt distress.

No matter whether it is Mexico or Brazil, neither of them will be able to escape this time. The US dollar settlement in the entire Americas exceeds 90.00%.

Even the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Geoffrey Howe, received a call from Mexico, hoping to provide financial assistance. Jeffrey Howe rejected Mexico's request on the grounds that Britain is also in a bad economy.

Not to mention that the British economy is really not good now, even if there is no problem, it cannot agree. The settlement share of the US dollar in the entire Americas is not to say [-]%. You can't do this, even though you just finished a war, don't think that you are really back to the era of the empire on which the sun never sets.

Now Britain can do nothing but withdraw its troops. As for the war dividend, it depends on future operations, not immediately.

During the phone call between Mrs. Thatcher and Reagan, she also confirmed that the news that the troops would be withdrawn immediately was true, and thanked the United States for its kind assistance in this war.

Alan Wilson, who was entering the prime minister's office, was disapproving when he heard this kind of thanks. Mrs. Thatcher could only pretend that she didn't see it. After the call with Reagan was over, she said, "Why did you come in without notification? I'm on the phone with the President of the United States."

"It's not such an important person." Alan Wilson pouted, "Thank him? From the request of the Mexican Ministry of Finance, we know that the Americans should thank us. I think Mexico will ask the United States for help soon, and then follow the The United States requires asset restructuring, and Latin American countries have no choice but to fall into debt crisis.”

"Even if that's the case, you can't say that." Mrs. Thatcher wanted to show her demeanor as a strong woman, and her current approval rate was quite high.

As if foreseeing Mrs. Thatcher's thoughts, Alan Wilson kept talking about the debt situation in Latin America, "Sell the country's high-quality state-owned assets to the Americans, and the debt crisis will be eased. And your privatization this time Almost, state-owned assets will be sold out sooner or later, but it is not a problem to beat this time.”

Clearly speaking of Latin America, it actually means that Margaret Thatcher's privatization policy is not more advanced than that of Latin American countries in terms of operation, and they all belong to the same level of operation.

Regardless of whether Mexico kneels first or Brazil kneels first, Britain’s benefits are definitely not as great as those of the United States, but Britain’s gains must also exist. First of all, such a long-distance expedition consumes so much ammunition. The consumption of the British armed forces must be In addition, British military enterprises can get a new batch of orders.

Alan Wilson can't quantify the level of military industry in the UK compared with the UK in memory, but it is definitely much stronger. The military has proven its worth. Reducing military spending was not in Mrs. Thatcher's plan. This time it has to be Increase military investment.

"The confrontation of the miners' union can be put on the agenda, but it is still necessary to step up preparations so as not to affect the smooth operation of British society." Alan Wilson is just a suggestion, which is not mixed with personal prejudice.

He has long wanted to dig out this money-losing industry, and still engage in local mining on the conditions of the UK?

Two days later, Britain officially began to withdraw its troops. At the same time, it released more than [-] prisoners of war and left Buenos Aires as a winner. , beat Argentina, which considers itself the second strongest in Latin America, to be helpless. Compared with the Iran-Iraq War, which has reached a stalemate, it can be described as a strong contrast.

Military observers from various countries have drawn the largest amount of traffic from this war to prove that they are not self-sufficient.

The U.S. Navy highly respects landing operations. For landing operations, especially large-span transoceanic landing operations, there will inevitably be a process of transporting troops and equipment from ship to shore.

There is only a larger dock in the main hull, air-cushion landing craft, high-speed landing craft, amphibious combat and transport vehicles, and a large landing ship that can load a certain number of helicopters or vertical take-off and landing fighters on the deck.

In order to complete the rapid, mobile and effective transport of landing troops and equipment ashore, provide necessary fire support to the landing troops, and at the same time undertake certain self-defense tasks.

The British Navy used a variety of ship types, including helicopter amphibious assault ships, general-purpose amphibious assault ships, dock landing ships, landing support ships, modified transport landing ships, and tank landing ships, which brought great difficulties to the organization and command of landing operations. .

From this point of view, simplifying the ship type, using one ship for multiple purposes, and balancing loading will be the inevitable result of the development of large amphibious warships.

The U.S. Navy has come up with the observation results of the three-dimensional landing. Naturally, the U.S. Air Force cannot lag behind. It expresses its approval of the concept of air-ground integration advocated by the United Kingdom, and hopes to officially promulgate and confirm it in the "Operational Outline". Although the Army has harvested the final fruits, But it has not been included in the category of experience summary by the United States.

If Alan Wilson knew the understanding of the United States, he would definitely think that Americans also discriminate against the Army without the Royal Army?It is unreasonable that such a cognition of feudal legacy still exists.

In Moscow, which is farther away from the battlefield, two old soldiers are also discussing this war. The Soviet Chief of Staff Ogarkov confronted his deputy, General Akhromeyev, about the accuracy of the practice of the British Expeditionary Force this time. The strike concept is highly respected, "I didn't expect the British to walk ahead of us and the Americans this time. There is no doubt that the British had an absolute advantage throughout the war, and the Argentines could not touch the British. Just Like armies from two eras."

"Chief of the General Staff, I agree with you very much, but the difficulty is a bit too high." General Akhromeyev smiled wryly, "As the most powerful military force in the world, it is very difficult to reform, and Not all comrades can understand, in the eyes of many comrades, we don’t need to make any changes, we can also defeat any enemy.”

"But such a war is very clumsy, and the burden on the country is too great." Marshal Ogarkov replied meaningfully, "We always have to do a little work, even if it is only a small-scale reform. In fact, the British The military force used this time is not very large in our eyes."

"The KGB transferred the contradictions in Afghanistan to Pakistan. The contradictions in Afghanistan are already great. If war is inevitable, Afghanistan should be used as a testing ground. It is not impossible for us to accumulate experience for information warfare." General Akhromeyev Suggested.

"It's better not to fight. I'm not optimistic about Comrade Andropov's department, but if the conflict cannot be resolved, we can only help Afghanistan as much as possible." Marshal Ogarkov shook his head, "I don't think Afghanistan is capable of defeating Pakistan's capabilities, although India may help contain it."

While the friendly nations were amazed, the British Expeditionary Force also began to withdraw from the Falkland Islands. The task force departing from Malaya will leave from the Atlantic Ocean this time, enter the Indian Ocean through the Cape of Good Hope and return to its home port. As for the Atlantic Fleet, it will return directly to the mainland. At this time, the whole of Britain is looking forward to it, hoping that the war heroes will come back soon, flowers, applause and honor will be the mainstream, and no one will be stingy about this.

While preparing for the welcome ceremony on the British side, the finance ministers of the United States and Mexico embraced each other warmly. Donald Reagan said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. He will definitely help Mexico overcome the foreign exchange shortage, but Mexico must accept debt restructuring.

Chapter 580 Seven Visits to China and Celebrations

Mexico must divest its non-performing assets and obtain a price-earnings ratio recognized by the World Bank. Of course, Donald Reagan meant that such non-performing but very important assets should be handed over to reliable people, such as Americans. Of course, this is not all, but it is still necessary step by step.

You can't swallow Mexico alive in one go. It's not because you're afraid of reaching the end, but because you want to continue to exhaust the resources.

After all, Mexico is not the only country that is troubled by debt, but also Brazil, Colombia, not to mention Argentina, the current protagonist of the Americas. There is no rush to come one by one.

On August 20th, the United States and Mexico officially announced several terms of the World Bank's economic assistance to Mexico. Mexico, a neighboring country that has established a stable political structure since the revolution in the [-]s, finally bowed to the United States. .

This is just the beginning. Mexico, a regional power that has developed well after the revolution, will gradually become what people think it is in the 21st century, starting from bowing its head to the United States this time.

This is an initial victory for the Americans. Donald Reagan still has plenty of time to use Mexico as a breakthrough point, waiting for Latin American countries to come to him one by one for help.

Alan Wilson, who is homeless, can only congratulate the United States. He is on the phone with David who is in Xiangjiang, talking about the inspection results of Swedish entrepreneurs in a big country.

"Lovisa is still optimistic about this country. He thinks this country is very vibrant, but he has no confidence in fighting against Coca-Cola." David complained with the supreme authority, "The Swedes still have a little bit of confidence in American companies. It’s a kind of blind understanding, not to mention daring to compete. It’s actually a lack of self-confidence.”

"Coca-Cola, it's moving very quickly." Alan Wilson smiled and said, "So the decision is correct. You can see that American companies can move quickly. I didn't see Reagan say no."

Coca-Cola had already built a factory in Imperial City in April last year, and the bottling plant finally settled in an old factory building of Beijing Roast Duck Factory, a subsidiary of COFCO Corporation in Wulidian, Beijing.In order to ensure water quality, Coca-Cola provided the Beijing plant with a reverse osmosis water purification system, which is the most advanced water treatment equipment in the world, and only a few countries have this technology.

It can be seen from this that although Reagan picked Carter's nose and eyes after he came to power, he was still very considerate in specific matters and did not waste time at all.

David’s phone call was obviously to ask his father in London if there was any way. Alan Wilson thought for a while, “This is a country that strictly prohibits drugs. In Chinese, taking drugs is taking drugs, and there is no compromise word for drug dependence. I remember cocaine was one of the ingredients in the early formula of Coca-Cola."

"Framing rumors?" David already understood what his father meant, but he didn't feel very sure. "That was all decades ago."

"The people behind the bamboo screen don't know what happened decades ago. If you want to come up with a widespread and easy-to-spread method of saliva, knowing that the people think that Coca-Cola has something to do with cocaine, the US explanation is nothing, an imperialist Can the final fortress be credited?" Alan Wilson tried to persuade, "You tell Lovisa, don't save this kind of marketing fee."

"Then we will carry out this work from the imperial capital." David said this and immediately heard his father's stop, "Don't do any small actions from other people's capitals. People are all similar, the difference is that they have strong law enforcement capabilities. Let me think about it, spread from the northeast. Don’t ask why, just do it.”

It makes sense to teach my elders to do this. First of all, there is not much difference between the accent of the Northeast dialect and the accent of the imperial capital. Now it is not a society with advanced information. In some places where the information is blocked, the difference between the accent of the Northeast dialect and the accent of the imperial capital cannot be distinguished. , Alan Wilson is very sure of this.

Another point is that the current situation in the Northeast should be very good. Simply put, the economic level is very good. After all, it is the only large geographical unit in a large country that can barely be self-sufficient.

For example, at this time, the forestry hospital of the Forestry Bureau in his hometown should still be at the second-class standard, but it seems that after a few decades, it will fall to the second-class standard.

The economy in a large geographical area is good, and there will definitely be a large flow of people, which is conducive to the spread of folk speeches. The Northeast dialect has little internal difference, and it can also spread to the whole country along with the railway.

If it can create the effect of the Chundu ham sausage rumors, Coca-Cola will be dead. Even if the effect is mediocre, Fanta can be guaranteed to have an advantage.

At the end of this topic, David discussed with his father about the division of talent attraction. When science and engineering talents and medical talents came, the supreme authority let him pay attention to them.

"Of course, we don't refuse any talents in science. As for senior medical doctors, you have to understand our strengths and weaknesses. Simply put, as the world's No.1 most populous country, in what ways do their doctors surpass ours? Certainly not in terms of equipment, our equipment is much more advanced than theirs. A large population means more patients, and as doctors, their clinical experience must far exceed that of our doctors, especially surgeons."

Alan Wilson talked eloquently, "It's not like our doctors, who don't even have the chance to have surgery a few times a year. This kind of doctor will be given standard treatment when they come, and they must not be treated differently. The capable will go up and the mediocre will go down. The doctors on Ontology dared to talk nonsense and told them to leave, I really thought I was irreplaceable."

"Clinical experience is not something that can be taught in schools. Those who come to China should be respected, and it is their turn to make irresponsible remarks."

David took notes with the microphone in between, and then said, "I will send the required documents back to London, but there is still no clue about semiconductor talents, especially lithography machines."

"Don't rush, try again when the time is right, be patient now."

Alan Wilson understands in his heart that it is nothing more than that the investment in semiconductors has not stopped. It doesn't matter. He has a lot of patience. When he needs patience, he will come to talk. Aspirations always need a platform.

"Don't be afraid to cooperate with them. In fact, based on my understanding of them, when they first propose cooperation, it is often with the greatest sincerity, which really forces the other party to be unable to cooperate. As long as there is a way to survive, they will not accept it." Back to the grass. We still have advantages, and building a beautiful homeland in Xiangjiang requires the efforts of both countries. By the way, have you communicated about patents?"

"As my father said, they have no knowledge of patents. We have talked through public and private channels. They attach great importance to it. We thank us for reminding us. At the same time, we express our gratitude to Britain for its role in the Sino-Yin war."

"Call directly when you encounter confusion, but it's best to be able to solve it yourself. By the way, the Prime Minister is about to visit China, and you and the ambassador should respond flexibly." Alan Wilson finally revealed the news of Mrs. Thatcher's upcoming visit to China , Let Xiangjiang also prepare.

For well-known reasons, Alan Wilson could not go with the Prime Minister, but he was not at ease with this so-called Iron Lady, so this task was entrusted to Hao Daer.

Before leaving, Mrs. Thatcher still expressed regret that the oriental experts could not go, and said sourly, "Of course I can understand that the Secretary-General is busy with personal feelings. But do you really think that you can't fight for the Xiangjiang issue?" .”

"If a certain safe distance can be opened, such as the Falkland Islands, I would like to fight for it myself. The distance of a barbed wire fence will definitely not work." Alan Wilson snorted, yin and yang said, "But as long as there is a way, British India continues to exist today, and since British India does not exist, there is really no other way.”

When Mrs. Thatcher achieved a diplomatic achievement that was similar to history and did not need to be described in words, Alan Wilson could finally have an open and honest talk with the richest woman, in a simple but not simple house.

"Stop beating, it's wrong." The richest woman who was pushed on the sofa, her hair messy and tearful, turned her head and begged for mercy, "I won't dare in the future, my butt hurts."

"Oh, I know it hurts now." Alan Wilson shook his numb palm, and said lightly, "Sometimes I really don't want you to experience a complete family life. After all, she is also my wife, But if you are always so easy to talk, sometimes you will be taken seriously, such as this time."

"The ass is swollen. If I knew I was going to be beaten, I would..." Looking at the slap with seven eyes, Pamela Mountbatten showed a flexible attitude, "I like your masculinity."

Arnold always felt that the atmosphere was unusual when he came home today, so he took an opportunity to ask, "Father, don't you think mother is a little strange today."

"Maybe I'm tired. At this age, you should pay attention to rest." Alan Wilson shook his arms and said serious nonsense, "When two people get along, they must understand each other. The means are not important."

The British Expeditionary Force came back later than Mrs Thatcher’s visit to China. After a relaxed and long journey, the ships of the British Atlantic Fleet returned to the country one after another, and received a heroic grand and warm welcome on the pier.

Prime Minister Thatcher, who stubbornly defended the interests of the British Empire, will naturally attend the grand occasion. As for yesterday's biggest border conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the past two years, it will also be discussed after the welcoming ceremony.

Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten, after frank communication, their relationship has returned to normal. Naturally, they attended the welcome ceremony together and waited for Colonel Albert to appear.

The grand celebrations in London have begun, a scene rarely seen in the past two years. The grand parade and military parade have become the talk of the people. Mrs. Thatcher said happily in her speech: "Now, the people have re-established Confidence and pride. All doubts and worries melted away."

The first thousand and 580 eight chapters of the needs of the big dog

Relying on the prestige of defeating Latin America's second-largest powerhouse, Mrs. Thatcher's speech at this time was very in line with the tastes of British citizens, which naturally aroused bursts of applause. Alan Wilson also applauded to cater, but Pamela Mountbatten standing next to her was very upset. Knowing her husband, this kind of body movement is... perfunctory, "Everyone is so happy, you should be happy too."

"What's there to be happy about? The problem still exists." Alan Wilson said indifferently, "What do you want me to do? Hold your chest up proudly? There are too many British citizens holding their chests out recently. It's always like this If it goes on, the cost of filming in the hospital should go up.”

This answer made Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but smile, and said with a funny smile, "It's not as funny as what you said? But how can you say that it also erected the majesty of a military power."

"In fact, it is not erected. You should also know that the Prime Minister's visit to China has just ended." Alan Wilson recognized Mrs. Thatcher's work attitude in taking time out of her busy schedule to visit China, but the results were not satisfactory. So recognized, but no wrestling, which is better than in history.

Of course, Mrs. Thatcher still talked about some issues that Alan Wilson absolutely didn't want to talk about, such as how to maintain Britain's influence in Asia.This is nonsense. In the past, Hong Kong was the only one left in Britain, but now it is different. Isn’t Malaya more able to prove the influence of Britain in Asia than Hong Kong?

"Who is the main opponent?" Pamela Mountbatten knew that things were not that simple, otherwise her husband would not have focused on this matter.

"The main opponent is actually the military, which is normal. When it comes to territorial issues, the military of any country will not show the attitude of let's give up. But I hope the military just talks casually, otherwise the prime minister will act A woman cannot be judged by reason sometimes."

Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "See if Marshal Mountbatten can solve this problem. Let the military make less inappropriate remarks, which is good for everyone."

No matter how you say it, the matter has not reached the point where it must be resolved. There are still 20 years left, and the UK can still do quite a lot.If the two countries cooperate happily, Alan Wilson is even willing to come forward and endorse this. Money is not everything, but for him, souls can be sold.

In some conversations, Alan Wilson has also heard Mrs. Thatcher's whimsy, which is so whimsical that China and Britain can govern together. However, any major country that pays attention to the evolution of the Falkland Islands issue will not agree to this approach, because For a long time, Britain has said the same to Argentina.

Anyway, in his opinion, Malaya is thousands of times more important than Xiangjiang, not only because of Pamela Mountbatten, whose wife has the status of Queen of Sarawak.

Taken separately, Singapore is more important than Xiangjiang. Singapore can take care of the Strait of Malacca, but what about Xiangjiang?

I don't know if being next to the Pearl River estuary is an advantage, but the Yangtze River estuary is the place with the best geographical conditions in a big country, not to mention the huge gap in resources and area.

But let the prime minister be happy first. For Allen Wilson, the greatest news is of course the safe return of Albert. Maybe it can be done, that's my own son.

If there is an accident, let alone whether Pamela Mountbatten will forgive him so easily, even Alan Wilson himself will consider taking out the tactical nuclear weapons stored in Malaya and trying them on the Argentines. Try the effect.

Finding a chance to let it go is a dream he has been hiding deep in his heart for a long time. Now this dream has not been completely shattered. In case the Soviet Union fails, he can find an opportunity to realize his dream in the Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal.

Giving a hug to his good son who returned in triumph, Alan Wilson smiled from the bottom of his heart and lowered his voice, "If you can't be a general, no one in Britain is qualified to be a general."
