Strictly speaking, the Falklands war has not yet reached the stage of all-round confrontation between the two armies, because the Falklands is too far from the British mainland, more than 1300km, compared with only 500km from Argentina on the South American continent.
Therefore, at the beginning of this month, after Argentina sent troops to control the Falklands, Britain had to make logistical preparations step by step, no matter how strong the response was. For example, first find an island in the vast South Atlantic and build a base.
Under such circumstances, the problem between Argentina and Britain cannot be 100% ruled out and solved by relatively gentle methods other than war.
After all, the process of Argentina's military control of the Falklands was smooth. Anyway, for this place and even the whole of America, it was foreign colonization. Symbolic resistance was enough. Soon, the British government in the Falklands announced its surrender. Even if only one British army was injured, the situation has not collapsed to the extent that it can't be cleaned up completely.
Therefore, the tension caused by the Falklands island is relatively limited. Take the Xiangjiang side, it is better to cry when it is time to cry and enjoy when it is time to enjoy. It is nothing more than following the reports from the UK and directly calling this controversial area the Falkland Islands.
Of course, sir Gao, the leader of the Gao consortium and a member of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong government, came to London to chat with friends and relax in an informal atmosphere. After meeting British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, he will certainly perform the drama of clear support. "When this war is won, all the domestic problems faced by your Excellency the prime minister, including next year's general election, will be solved."
Such a judgment is naturally not made out of nothing.
After taking office, Mrs. Thatcher faced various thorny problems, including Northern Ireland, powerful trade unions, economic stagflation, etc., especially the economic recession, which would affect the whole society. Mrs. Thatcher adopted a solution similar to President Reagan of the United States across the Atlantic, and followed a new free economy.
However, regardless of the effect, the painful period is inevitable. The economic recession in the United States is becoming more and more serious, and the United Kingdom is also not optimistic. Almost all the methods that the Zhengzhi elite can use have been used, and now they can only stand firm. Reagan is better. This presidential term is only the second year, but Mrs. Thatcher's term of prime minister is coming to an end.
There is no doubt that the Falklands war broke out at this time, giving an opportunity to transfer contradictions. As long as we win, we can achieve the effect of one handsome covering up a hundred ugly.
As a qualified statesman, Margaret Thatcher will certainly not be as blindly optimistic as Gao Xian. She knows exactly what the actual situation is in Britain, so she said calmly: "of course, I am confident that Britain will win the war, but the specific process may not be easy. After all, Britain belongs to the labor expedition, and Argentina can be called fighting at home."
If you don't show up now, it will expire in half a month or even a week.
Gao Xian naturally continued to express his optimistic views: "although Argentina is fighting at home, there are too many elements of speculation. One of the main reasons why it takes the lead in military action with such a tough attitude and is not afraid of Britain is that the economy is no longer dependent on Britain. In the past, 40% of Argentina's exports were sold to Britain, but now this figure is only 3%
"However, this kind of confidence is too one-sided. After all, Britain is a maritime overlord who has experienced the baptism of two world wars, and Argentina is just a regional power in a corner."
"In the final analysis, the driving force of this war is that the galtieri government, which has long implemented military dictatorship, has become increasingly unpopular in the country. Coupled with the fact that Argentina's economic recession has become a crisis, the inflation rate alone last year reached more than 600%, which can be called boiling public resentment. Therefore, it took a risk to use a war to transfer social contradictions."
"Whenever there is a setback in this kind of speculation, it will fall apart. Moreover, in terms of international relations, Argentina's circle of friends is not as good as Britain. Chile, which is adjacent to it in Latin American countries, has deep resentment."
"I think your Excellency the prime minister can be more close to the Chilean government in terms of governance, so as to provide military facilities that can not be ignored, such as radar detection."
"Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Argentine army can not be underestimated. For example, the flying fish anti-ship missiles purchased from France are highly lethal. Your Excellency the prime minister may wish to use diplomatic means to ask France to disclose weapon parameters in order to reduce the threat faced by the Royal Navy."
……
Zhengzhi is also a person who can't escape seven emotions and six desires. Moreover, Mrs. Thatcher has to maintain the political establishment of the "Iron Lady". In this special period of domestic and foreign troubles, it is more and more necessary to be encouraged by Sir Gao, a close friend who made friends before she became famous.
After a comprehensive conversation with Sir Gao, Mrs Thatcher was obviously in a much better mood, and then made no secret of her gratitude: "Sir Gao has traveled all over the world and had a wide range of knowledge, which has provided me with a lot of very important enlightenment."
Gao Xian said modestly, "enlightenment is out of the question. I just chat with the prime minister to help him relax."
Mrs Thatcher said happily: "Sir Gao can help too much. At present, Britain is using merchant ships to establish a logistics supply line with a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers to the South Atlantic. The more the transport capacity, the better. I hope that Gao's consortium will actively provide assistance in container ships and oil tankers."
Gao Xian's intention to prevent his business system from being expropriated by Britain is essentially to avoid unexpected changes beyond the plan. As for the initiative to provide transportation services requested by Mrs. Thatcher, it is acceptable. Besides, he can't move his mouth. There's no actual expression, isn't it?
As a result, Gao Xian said, "just in time, Peter Wei, chairman of the board of directors of Xiangjiang land, and I came to London to participate in business activities, let Xiangjiang land 'work for the country'."
Mrs Thatcher repeatedly thanked her. You know, the effect of passive recruitment and active response to the call must be different.
"Sir Gao, I have another unkind request," Mrs. Thatcher said tentatively: "You just mentioned that Chile, Argentina's neighbor, will provide special convenience if it can be brought over. I think it's very reasonable. However, although Chile has a bad relationship with Argentina, it's still in a circle in Latin America. It's hard to predict whether it can be independent. Can Sir Gao, as my personal envoy, go to preliminary contact to provide guidance for the next diplomatic and "Make room for positive contact?"
"Once again, as a special envoy..." the high chords summed up a little to make sure Chile had the value of doing its own work.
