British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1577: 1 hour 22 minutes

The European Community is on the side of the United Kingdom, which is good news for the current United Kingdom. The United Kingdom can finally gain the advantage of Argentina's public opinion that supports Latin American countries on the basis of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Although there are still a few noises, these noises come from countries with a system similar to the Soviet Union, from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, but can the words of the enemy count?

"Anti-imperialist and anti-feudalism are all farts. When we finish this war, the so-called anti-colonial righteous voices will obediently shut up."

Alan Wilson flipped through a book in his hand, and then seemed to think of something, "I heard that Chinese history textbooks will be revised this year, order me a set. Let's see how far the historical research in the new era has come. "

If there is no accident, it should be that the new version of the picture should appear, which will be different from the previous textbook. What is the specific difference, probably taking the Yuan Dynasty as an example, the northern border directly reaches the Arctic Ocean.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the UK, and the UK 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, because the task force with the guided missile battleship and the centaur aircraft carrier as its core is still halfway.

The battle plan has been finalized, and Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands must be occupied. Otherwise, the British air force will not be able to threaten the mainland of Argentina. Even if Buenos Aires is a coastal city, Vulcan strategic bombers cannot be counted on. Every time they dispatched, they dropped several tons of bombs across half of the Atlantic Ocean and returned.

If you want typhoons and strong winds to pose a threat to the Argentine mainland, these two fighters will not be useful unless the two islands are taken down. Unlike the original history, Britain does not have Sea Harrier fighters in its hands.

While waiting for the Tesun fleet, the Organization of American States, represented by Peruvian President Belaunde, came forward to mediate the Anglo-Arab conflict. The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Perez de Cuellar, also joined in. Mediation in military conflicts between countries.

It has come to 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 already set off from Ascension Island, with the goal of capturing 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, "Of course our purpose is to march forward proudly, and the Argentines will collapse without fighting, but We must also show something real as a deterrent, otherwise the Argentines will not be afraid of us, and Britain will be in a very embarrassing situation."

This kind of argument is like in 1962, Nehru believed that as long as Indians took a firm step to express India's bravery, a certain power would back down. Seems to mean almost the same thing.

There is no need for the Argentines to bluff in this war. The UK 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 the military leadership, Argentina has experienced I have seen many battles, and the morale of the whole country is unprecedentedly high, and I am ready to fight to the death.

British citizens must understand that there is a price to pay for defending national interests, and the Argentines cannot be expected to collapse without a fight as soon as the British Expeditionary Force arrives.

The tension in public opinion is completely opposite to what Alan Wilson said to the Americans at this time. There is no authority in what he said, and he did not admit his cowardice, but he hinted that Britain is very afraid of the gutter capsized.

Facing Alan Wilson's rhetoric, Washington expressed its understanding. Just as before the Gulf War, even the United States did not expect to achieve an unprecedented victory. The Pentagon predicted that the United Kingdom would take back the Falkland Islands, which had been defended by the Argentine army. number of casualties.

Looking at it this way, Britain's caution is understandable. At the same time, the Pentagon also suggested to Reagan that it might as well wait and see, to see if Britain, the former world hegemon, still has martial arts today?

This is a question that the United States has always been interested in. Is the old father still able to do it now? This 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, and it seems that their combat effectiveness is not good enough.

Argentina is the second strongest in Latin America, at least that's how Argentina defines itself. How far it can compete with the United Kingdom is still of great interest to all walks of life in the United States.

Even American public opinion started a discussion on this, thinking that although the United Kingdom has brought out the most powerful force after the war, it is impossible for the United Kingdom to win easily because of the expedition and the Argentine defenders waiting for work.

"Such remarks are counted one by one, and they are all collected in pounds." Alan Wilson, who was homeless, faced Arnold who came out to find him, proudly puffed up his chest, and began to be like a prince again, decisively winning a thousand miles away Besides, "Did your mother ask you to come and find me to go home?"

"Uh, it's not. I came to see my father by myself. Before the eldest brother comes back safely, I still have to work **** my father. You have a place to live anyway." Arnold shrugged and said, for example, you can pay attention to Princess Margaret's personal Life is not a problem.

"It's the first time your mother has been arguing with me for such a long time." Alan Wilson sighed quietly, patted his younger son on the shoulder and complained, "My good son, you should be on my side. You and I are both men. "

Good boxing! Arnold was in awe, but awe could not change anything, "I can't let my father go back, and now my mother is angry, I am just one more victim by standing on your side, so we still have good wishes , Brother came back after making meritorious deeds, and everything is gone."

"You are really my good son." Alan Wilson smiled like a smiling tiger. He looked at Arnold differently. He was really a good boy with a flexible moral bottom line. So he sacrificed his father?

The supreme authority who is homeless, still needs someone to take him in? Hepburn, for example, has a strong interest in taking in the secretary-general of the cabinet. If he hadn't been busy recently, he would have to go to Monroe's place to receive foreign friends, so it would be no problem to live in Hepburn every day.

Arnold has a clear heart about this, and his father has indeed sacrificed too much for this country.

Then he called a bright girl to drive the car over, and Alan Wilson asked his son very pleased, "What's your name?"

"Elizabeth Hurley." Arnold told the truth, and also met from the beauty pageant, but she didn't participate in the beauty pageant, but 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 start operations. The target is on South Georgia Island. South Georgia Island is part of the Falkland Islands and is also where the British Antarctic scientific research base is located, so there are supply aircraft on the island. A runway for takeoff and landing, taking back South Georgia would provide a base for land-based fighters that can't take off and land.

South Georgia Island is very close to Antarctica, more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Falkland Islands, and more than 2,000 kilometers away from the mainland of Argentina. It is safe and can provide guarantees for subsequent operations.

There are only 200 defenders on the island. Compared to the size of the island, landing is not difficult for the British army. The biggest difficulty is not to anger the seals on the island. The number of seals and walruses on the island far exceeds the number of Argentine defenders. Because the target of the main fleet is too big, and it is more dangerous from the air, the special boat squadron shoulders the mission of landing, and lands from the sea through small landing craft.

There were anti-submarine helicopters in the air as cover, and more than forty British soldiers went to the island under the cover of the naval guns of the task force warships, and quickly launched an attack. This caught the unprepared defenders by surprise, and they became prisoners without understanding what was going on. This was not even a battle.

But there are battlefields beyond the battlefield, and the war of public opinion is just as important~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson, who received the news in London, didn't care what the facts were, and directly called the major newspapers to prove his reliability to the UK , "The special boat squadron won the battle and took South Georgia Island in one hour and twenty-two minutes. The British Empire is invincible. I hope to see such reports soon."

If the only public opinion hegemony that has not suffered the slightest loss cannot do this, Alan Wilson will definitely be quite disappointed. Taking South Georgia Island is extremely beneficial to the UK. At least the UK has a foothold that allows land-based fighters to land. The Falkland Islands are threatened.

For the British citizens who have been unable to hear any news after leaving the port, even a small piece of good news can make them let go of their worries, even if there is no news at all.

The news of the victory in capturing South Georgia Island came at the right time, and the whole of Britain fell into a carnival. Even the poorest patriots in the East End of London would proudly puff up their chests when they heard the news that Britain had captured South Georgia Island.

"It's true that the British haven't fought wars for too long." The US Secretary of State, General Haig, was a soldier, so how could he not know the inside story? It's what the British media call "Soldiers from Heaven".

At least for now, the U.S. military, which has prepared peanuts and melon seeds, has not yet felt that it has entered the drama, but they also admit that the British Expeditionary Force has a foothold, and the follow-up impact is still great.

As for taking South Georgia Island in one hour and twenty-two minutes, it is very ridiculous, but it is just a way of spiritual victory. It is understandable that the United States does not need to expose the British internal propaganda.

The disappointment on President Reagan's face is unavoidable. This is not the war she envisioned. So far it has been described as boring. Could it be that the big drama is coming later?
