In the end, Major General Moore, the commander of the British army, issued a warning. Although there were tens of thousands of Argentine troops in Port Stanley, they were already surrounded by the British army, navy and air force. victim of.

Before the time limit for reply came, Major General Menendez, the commander of the Argentine garrison, decided to surrender to Major General Moore of the Royal Marines. A major general, two colonels of the army, a colonel of the marines, and a lieutenant colonel of the army attended the surrender ceremony, and 13,000 Argentine soldiers became prisoners of war.

The letter of surrender was immediately forwarded to London, where it was published on the headlines of the major newspapers. The entire content read, The Falklands Garrison Headquarters surrendered the letter: I, Major General Menendez, Commander of the Argentine Army, Navy and Air Force stationed in the Falklands, to the Queen of England On behalf of Major General Moore, the government surrendered unconditionally.

Under the provisions of this agreement, all the Afghan troops stationed in Falklands will go to the place designated by Major General Moore to hand over their guns, ammunition, various weapons and various tools of war designated by General Moore or other British officers.

Once this Agreement comes into force, all Afghan troops will be treated with honor and obey all instructions regarding movement and centralized accommodation in accordance with the provisions of the Geneva Convention signed in 1949.

It also applies to the Argentine garrisons deployed around Port Stanley, East/West Falkland and other outer islands.

The whole of Britain is in a state of jubilation. Since the Second World War, British citizens have become accustomed to the independence of one colony after another, and have gradually accepted the fact that Britain is no longer the master of the world. The whole country is in a state of confusion. Whether to quietly be a spectator of the international situation or to be the maker of the international order has become a question for many people.

Now that doubt is gone, even the poorest working man in London puffed out his chest with pride when the news of the surrender of the Argentine defenders of the Falkland Islands came.

Mrs. Thatcher's approval rating, which had been underestimated for a long time, has finally reached the highest point since she came to power. The crumbling foundation of her governance has finally been stabilized through this war.

"Let go, it's too intimate." Mrs. Thatcher glared at the cabinet secretary in front of her. Any uncontrollable celebration was an excuse. Don't think she couldn't see it.

"I'm sorry." Unlike the British citizens who were celebrating together, Alan Wilson let go of his hug, his face full of despair after being rejected, and he said forcefully, "That's where I am, but it's only halftime. Next It's time to show our strength, and with the Falklands back, we have a forward position."

"Is the fight really going to continue?" Mrs. Thatcher hesitated. "Some ministers believe that at this point, we have already got what we deserve."

"Does the Prime Minister think that I may be detrimental to Britain? Or does he think that the promoted ministers are loyal and reliable?" Alan Wilson asked blankly. If Mrs. Thatcher hadn't forgotten the fact that she was forced to reorganize the cabinet before, she should know Which side should be on.

"This war is only halfway through at best. In fact, the next time is the critical time for the UK to focus on showing its military power. It is also to convince citizens that the army is capable of defending the UK and let British citizens know that they are live in a strong country."

This is the real purpose of this war, not just to save Mrs. Thatcher's approval rating. As the prime minister, Mrs. Thatcher supports the continuation of the war at this time, so that Alan Wilson's idea can be realized.

Maybe it was because of the long-term firm support of the cabinet secretary-general, and maybe because she also hoped that the British Expeditionary Force would create greater victories, so Mrs. Thatcher agreed to continue the war.

Foreign Secretary Francis Pym, after recapturing the Falkland Islands, still publicly repeated the British armistice conditions, as long as the Argentine government recognized the Falkland Islands as an inalienable British territory, the war could be concluded immediately Finish.

The problem is that it is impossible for the Argentine government to admit that this is a prerequisite for the armistice proposed by the United Kingdom, so there is no way to talk about it. The United Kingdom, which has regained the Falkland Islands, immediately said that all combat forces will be concentrated in the Falkland Islands and Tierra del Fuego. , the airport previously built in the Falkland Islands came into use.

Strategic transport planes, strategic bombers, and Typhoon fighter jets transported to the Falkland Islands crowded the airport that was deserted most of the time, and the port was stationed with the Atlantic Fleet.

Whether it is to see if Britain has anything left in the bottom of the box, or whether it is trying to end the war has become the focus of discussion in the White House. So far, the whole war has been lacklustre, and there seems to be no bright spot.

In fact, this is also a true portrayal of history. This is a bullying war. The British army may have combat effectiveness, but it has not been shown, because the performance of the Argentine army is almost vulnerable.

"If the war continues, the British will attack the mainland of Argentina. Maybe there will be some changes then?"

"Britain is not good at ground warfare. Half of the troops currently deployed are soldiers recruited from colonies or former colonies. The two brigades in Malaya are still fighting in the tropics. The one brigade in Nepal does not have any adaptation problems. The rest Next is the armed forces of Rhodesia, as well as the 7th Armored Division. Once they land, the war will really enter a **** stage."

"But will the British really attack the Argentine mainland? From the experience of the Vietnam War, this is not a good idea."

The Pentagon is full of speculation about the strategic purpose of the United Kingdom. Once the battlefield is expanded to the mainland of Argentina, there may be uncontrollable developments.

But for the White House, especially Wall Street, there is a trend that is absolutely controllable, that is, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates again, and the Volcker moment led by Chairman Volcker reversed the way of raising interest rates more than expected since the 1970s. Inflation, as the United Kingdom started a war in Latin America, the unexpected interest rate hikes also started again.

Higher-than-expected interest rate hikes will lead to economic recession, but as long as the economies of other countries are worse, the United States is still the winner, Britain spends huge military expenditures, and Latin American countries are in a state of insecurity, and there will definitely be capital flight. This is seen by Wall Street is a good opportunity.

Through communication with the military, the Pentagon immediately learned that the British side was planning to end the war within a month. The expectation was very good, but the US military still had doubts about whether it could be achieved.

After a few days of calm, on July 5, the two fleets that had been repaired merged into one and gathered off the coast of Argentina. The guided missile battleship HMS Mountbatten, the largest arsenal ship in active service in the world, head For once, he showed his attack power in front of the world.

The self-contained vertical launch system is fully fired. The Seahawk cruise missiles in service after the Middle East War disappeared into the sky from the huge missile battleships. The radar positions and air defense positions on the Argentine coastline, the command and control system and the airport became hundreds of cruise missiles. main target of the attack.

With the support of the Galileo navigation system, the launched cruise missile found the target as if it had eyes. While the Admiral Mountbatten launched the cruise missile, the Vulcan Strategic Bomber Wing also appeared to add fire. Anti-radiation missiles were fired outside and joined the strike on Argentine military targets.

The important military targets along the coast of Argentina suffered heavy losses in this round of air strikes, and then it was time for the British Royal Air Force and Naval Air Force to launch Tornado fighter-bombers from three heavy aircraft carriers, and the Falkland Islands airport The Typhoon fighter jets that took off entered the field after the precise strike, and began to bombard the remaining military targets in Argentina indiscriminately.

On this day, air defense sirens resounded in the major cities of Argentina. This kind of scene has never been seen in Argentina since its inception.

But all this is just the beginning. The month-long strategic air raid has officially kicked off. It seems that the strategic bombing of Germany has reappeared. Batch after batch of British planes invaded the sacred airspace of Argentina. The country bombed indiscriminately.

Before the start of the war, the Argentine Air Force, which had been remembered by the supreme authority in London, bravely flew into the blue sky to meet the invaders who invaded their own country. The coast of Argentina became the place where the air forces of both sides fought. The Argentine Air Force should have discovered during this war that ultra-low-altitude raids can evade the navy's radar, but the United Kingdom or a certain civil servant did not give this opportunity at all.

Returning to the traditional air combat, the level of the air forces of the two countries is directly judged. After the Middle East war, because it was under the jurisdiction of the long arm of the United States, the United Kingdom re-promoted the sky flash plan. This air-to-air missile was also obtained by the Argentine Air Force. application.

The A-4 attack aircraft equipped by Argentina is an old model of the United States in the 1950s, the super flag fighter is a French product in the 1960s, and the Phantom 3 fighter is also the main French model ten years ago. Facing the British Tornado There is an obvious gap between the carrier aircraft, not to mention the baby Typhoon fighter jets of the British Royal Air Force~lightnovelpub.net~ After two days of fighting with cruise missiles and bombing by the British Royal Air Force, the third attack fleet of the Argentine Air Force , 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th fighter groups were either destroyed at military bases, or became the record of the Royal Air Force in air battles.

"Huh, the Argentine Air Force might as well use wooden propeller fighters from World War I, at least we can't lock them down."

Alan Wilson was very happy when he got the battle report that the Argentine Air Force was virtually wiped out. He didn't think it was wrong to beat up children. Happy."

With cruise missiles and strategic bombing, the Argentine Air Force became the most direct victim. Only now, Alan Wilson has finally found the feeling of the British Empire.
