Among the crowds of farewell family members in the military port, many epic stories are bound to happen. Even if they didn't happen, I believe the major newspapers in the UK will make up them.

The New York Times in the United States referred to the Royal Navy departing from Portsmouth as the Empire Strikes Back, and matched the newly released Star Wars movie with the British action linkage.

Of course, that will happen in the future. In addition to the various types of warships coming out of the military port, the reason why many citizens are attracted is the concert of the Queen band. The Queen band also embodies the great quality that I can talk about my patriotism With the long hair of the world's unified aesthetics in the 1980s, the military song of the British Expeditionary Force was the finale of this concert.

This has to mention the secretary general of the cabinet who knows the most about music. He slightly innovated the supreme authority of the song of the warrior, and the handed down classics he created are very suitable for the atmosphere at this time. The song of the warrior is inherently bullying, both from a musical and lyric perspective.

The military song of the British Expeditionary Force is played not only in the mainland, but also in Xiangjiang and Penang. The two centaur aircraft carriers, which are based in Penang and Xiangjiang respectively, are in an embarrassing situation in today's Royal Navy, and the tonnage is unbearable. It is very useful, but the construction time of the Centaur aircraft carrier was after the Eagle-class aircraft carrier, and the maintenance was not bad, so it was changed to a helicopter carrier early.

The assembled task force will take the ocean-going merchant ships to Perth to join the only British guided-missile battleship stationed here, HMS Mountbatten, for supplies via New Zealand. At the same time, the New Zealand government has sent supplies to the UK in The Pitcairn Islands in the South Pacific, the closest to Latin America, helped the task force complete its final preparations before arriving in Latin America.

A task force consisting of a guided missile battleship and two helicopter carriers will march from the South Pacific. Not knowing the strategic purpose and considering military secrets, it should also be concealed from the top fleet.

On April 20th and 21st, the two fleets announced by the United Kingdom to recapture the Falkland Islands have already set off. The two fleets have a total of three heavy aircraft carriers, two helicopter carriers, and one guided missile battleship. 12 nuclear submarines, 22 Type 82 destroyers and Type 42 frigates, plus auxiliary ships and ocean-going merchant ships, more than 200 ships.

The tonnage of warships alone has exceeded 700,000 tons. It can be said that even when the Bismarck was besieged, the Royal Navy never put up such a big battle.

The Belfast strategic transport plane flew over the Mediterranean from Europe and landed in the capital of the Rhodesian royal territory, which disturbed the tranquility over Africa and reminded the already independent African countries that the suzerain country is not far away. If you want to, it is not Can't come back, isn't it coming back now?

The Mountbatten Group broke through the oil scams that caused Ethiopia and Somalia early on. The world did not give Brezhnev the opportunity to show the strength of the Soviet Union and play strategic airlifts.

Now this opportunity has fallen into the hands of the United Kingdom, and Rhodesia is quite lively now. In addition to the strategic transport planes flying from Europe and their modified tankers, the twelve Vulcan strategic bombers flying from Australia and Malaya, After passing through Mauritius and the Sultanate of Zanzibar, it landed in the royal territory.

Accompanied by her son-in-law who had arrived earlier, Grace was familiar with the Rhodesian Royal Armored Brigade, which had just been established and merged with the British garrison. Originally, Grace was not optimistic about this war. All of his war experience was in infantry combat, and he almost died in the hands of Tito.

Therefore, I am very pessimistic about a battlefield 13,000 kilometers away from the British mainland, which is still in a combat area between the vast sea. But seeing so many strategic transport planes and strategic bombers landing, I immediately felt that it was not impossible to fight.

Seeing that his father-in-law had been convinced by the truth, Albert said, "Although these two large aircrafts are not very new technologies, they have been improving since they came out. The appearance has not changed much, but they are not the same as they were thirty years ago. The same is true, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Vulcan strategic bomber to take off from Australia and arrive here after one stop."

The Figure 22 bomber and the Figure 22 Backfire bomber have similar names, but they have long since become two completely different bombers. It is the same for the Vulcan strategic bomber. The sequence of the British Air Force no longer exists. The Warrior bomber has been changed to the Warrior electronic reconnaissance aircraft after the 1970s.

"We don't have a strong defense industry here. We are all facing the guerrillas. It's okay to make some mine-resistant armored vehicles, but others seem to be ignorant." Grace paused when he said this, "But I believe that your father I will definitely let you come here after thinking it over, he is a man who needs to use a magnifying glass to look at him after stripping him naked."

Seeing his father-in-law's indignation, the embarrassment flashed across Albert's face. Although he was not born at that time, was it? It is also heard.

"Father said that when the army landed in Argentina, there should be no worthwhile targets left in Argentina."

Albert also showed his honesty in front of his father-in-law, "Buenos Aires is a coastal city, and there will be no environment that would plunge Britain into a quagmire. My father said that if Argentina is smart enough, it should be before the main fleet enters the south." Hurry up and deliver supplies while in the Atlantic."

"How do you say, doesn't that make the defenders more prepared?" Grace asked a little incomprehensibly, "This will make the war longer. After all, the British Expeditionary Force is far away."

"I don't know, but it is said that I hope the expeditionary force will capture the supplies of the Argentine defenders." Albert also shook his head. How weak must the Argentine defenders be to make this idea a reality?

Britain has formed a fleet that only the United States and the Soviet Union can resist. Naturally, it is impossible not to be noticed. While the United Kingdom is stepping up its troop movement and convening armed assemblies in overseas territories, countries that are running for peace are also holding their own scripts. .

Let’s not talk about whether you can interfere, you must express your position. For this reason, international forces have dispatched one after another to call for a peaceful settlement of the dispute between Britain and Afghanistan.

A big country’s appeal for peace, the Soviet Union’s violent attacks, and Europe’s Germany and France attach importance to friendship with the United Kingdom. Alan Wilson is still trying his best to mobilize the diplomatic support of the Commonwealth countries to the United Kingdom. Australia and New Zealand are not difficult in this regard. Australia Even willing to send troops, but was rejected by Britain.

The difficulty is that countries that are already independent and have no traditional ties with the UK, such as the Commonwealth of Nations, still have a powerful country. Don’t count on it. They have a better relationship with the Soviet Union. Can they jump out? Slamming Britain counts as victory.

With the arrival of the strategic bomber formation in Rhodesia, the African countries of the Commonwealth gradually expressed their support for the United Kingdom. Together with the understanding of the European countries for the United Kingdom, at the diplomatic level, the British voice finally overwhelmed the solidarity of the Latin American countries for Argentina.

How could it be possible for a country that exerts diplomatic influence to lack the United States? The United States, which is an ally of the United Kingdom and the United States in a "special relationship" and a member of the Organization of American States with Argentina, took the lead in taking action.

The U.S. was taken aback by the sudden movement by the U.K., with a large fleet, strategic bombers, and strategic transport planes. It also deployed troops in overseas territories, and even recruited mercenaries in Nepal. Now Washington wants it very much. I know, to what extent does the UK want to achieve, and what is the ultimate goal?

From the outside world, Secretary of State General Haig spent the first few weeks of the crisis shuttling non-stop between London and Buenos Aires, trying to broker a compromise between the two sides. When I was in London, the most frequently asked questions were what is the UK going to do and what is its strategic purpose? Why was the ace unit stationed in the De Laine Army deployed?

Alan Wilson reiterated his support for the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and then complained, "For the prime minister, the approval rating is already in jeopardy. This war is the last chance. Britain can only win but not lose. Once the war is defeated, the consequences of the entire The United Kingdom cannot bear it. But the objective conditions are here, the battlefield is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mainland, how dare we be careless? General Haig, you used to be the commander of the US military in Europe, you should understand~lightnovelpub.net~If Europe In the event of a fight, the United States also needs to respond with all its strength."

"Objectively, it is indeed very difficult." General Haig admitted that this distance is not something that ordinary countries can bear, but is the power assembled by Britain too big?

"Argentina has 200,000 armed forces at the doorstep, how about less than 100,000 expeditionary troops?" Alan Wilson looked cautious, and it was indeed less than 100,000 expeditionary troops, which was more than 90,000 people, except for the Seventh Armored Division In addition, there are two brigades from Malaya, one brigade from Rhodesia, and mercenaries recruited from Nepal.

Having said that, General Haig will still come up with a mediation plan. All the Afghan troops will withdraw from the Falkland Islands, and the British task force will berth in waters a thousand miles away from the Falkland Islands. Against the will of the British residents on the island, the British and Arab sides resumed negotiations on the sovereignty of the Falklands within the next five years.

This plan was naturally rejected by Mrs. Thatcher, "The Falkland Islands are indeed far away from the UK, and Czechoslovakia was also far away from the UK back then."

"General Haig, Washington has shown the utmost sincerity for a peaceful settlement. We are grateful for this, but there is no other way now." Alan Wilson reconciled, "British preparations are to win, but Absolutely not an inch of land in Argentina."

On May 15, the British Royal Air Force began to station at Widiawick Air Force Base on Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean, including the escorting Tornado fighter-bombers, Vulcan strategic bombers and tankers. The departing main fleet arrived at Ascension Island.

On the same day, the United Kingdom announced that the area around the Falkland Islands was a war zone, and at almost the same time as the United Kingdom's statement, the news came that an interim meeting of the European Community announced sanctions against Argentina.
