In fact, due to Xia Yu’s early warning, the British government is fully prepared in this life compared with the incredible after being attacked in the previous life.
For example, the British military has stored a large amount of war equipment at the base of Ascension Island, which is 5,600 kilometers away from Falkland Islands, and the military base on South Georgia Island, which is 1,300 kilometers away from Falkland Islands.
It can even be said that the British military has done countless deductions a long time ago, waiting for Argentina to take action, ready to seize this opportunity to show off British muscles.
Trying to give a sigh of relief to the United Kingdom, which is declining in global influence!
So after Argentina issued an announcement to the world, the British government responded extremely quickly.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher held a grand press conference for the first time, personally announcing the severance of diplomatic relations with Argentina, at the same time forming a wartime cabinet, and issued a series of orders without any cover!
In the afternoon, the Royal Navy, which had no large aircraft carriers, formed two small aircraft carriers Invincible and Competitive God to form a task force. They set sail from Portsmouth, carrying the anger and determination of the British people. To the Atlantic.
Four nuclear submarines at the base of Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean also sailed towards Falklands at full speed.
In addition, many British warships participating in NATO exercises in Gibraltar also sailed to the theater. This formation will rendezvous with the aircraft carrier formation in the Atlantic Ocean. After the convergence, there are 21 combat ships, 20 Sea Harrier fighters, and 58 Helicopters of various types, 3,500 Marines.
On April 3, before the British troops arrived on the Falklands, the British government made a strong announcement to the world, declaring the two hundred nautical miles around Falklands to be a "maritime restricted zone." All Afghan warships and auxiliary ships entering the area All ships will be attacked.
The British army’s approach of warning Argentina in advance before arriving in the war zone is undoubtedly extremely arrogant and domineering, and completely ignores Argentina. This greatly stimulated the inspection on the Falklands and was praised as a “national hero”. "The Argentine President Galtieri.
Galtieri is also a violent temper. He directly claimed that Argentina is capable of defending the national territorial integrity and sovereignty, and any invaders will be defeated by heroic Argentine fighters!
In less than two days, the contradiction between Britain and Afghanistan broke out without even fighting, and embarked on the road of war.
The whole world was shocked and cast their sights on the small island in the South Atlantic.
And Xia Yu, who was watching TV at his home in London, couldn't help smiling expectantly after seeing the news.
I don’t know how many days will it take for Britain, which is fully prepared, to defeat Argentina in this life?
……
Then the entire British public opinion was dominated by the news of the Falklands War.
The news from the major newspapers under Xia Yu, which are well prepared, is the most timely and detailed.
The readers didn't notice it at first, but the news was very timely for several days and the quality was higher than that of other newspapers. This caused British people to subscribe to relevant newspapers, which caused the sales of newspapers controlled by the Bright Fund to increase sharply.
Not only the United Kingdom, but in other European countries, newspapers controlled by the Bright Fund also use the high-quality news channels of Jiuding News Agency to compete for the market.
On April 5, the British nuclear submarine formation began to implement a blockade after arriving in the theater.
On April 6, the British fan-hunting patrol aircraft arrived in the theater and began patrolling.
On April 9, the vanguard of the British fleet, which had been fully supplied, arrived in the theater.
On April 15, the British Task Force entered the waters of the Falkland Islands and deployed.
Because the Ascension Island base and the South Georgia Island base have always had sufficient combat preparation materials, a lot of material transfer and base construction time have been saved.
Sufficient aerial tankers and sufficient fuel deployed at the South Georgia base also enable British combat aircraft to navigate the Falklands airspace for a long time.
only thirteen days!
The British army completed the deployment of a sea and air blockade on the Falkland Islands, which is half the earth and thousands of miles away.
This speed shocked the eyes of all countries, and many countries reassessed the strength of Britain.
After the Second World War, John Bull, whose military strength has been declining, still has such a strong ultra-long-distance projectile combat capability after decades, and the displayed war mobilization and deployment capabilities are so superb!
Compared with countries such as the United States, France, West Germany, and island countries, which are simply shocked, Argentina’s shock is different. It can be said to be shocked!
The Argentine military government is facing tremendous pressure, but in the face of the turbulent national conditions, Galtieri has not flinched and remains strong in front of the media.
It's a pity that the British army didn't give Galte an inside.
On April 16, the war finally started.
The nine British strategic bombers flew over the island at 4:30 in the morning and dropped 150 bombs weighing a thousand pounds, and carried out a comprehensive attack on the two airports constructed by Argentina on the island as well as mine explosions and buildings. During the bombing, all the buildings were blown up. When the morning sun hit the island, the satellite photographed only ruins.
The military buildings on the island were all destroyed, and the troops deployed on the island were also cut off. Galtieri, the commander of engineers and the president who had never been on the battlefield, woke up.
But the Argentine military, which has lost its air superiority, did not give up the struggle. The main combat aircraft took off from the land airport 740 kilometers away from the Falklands.
But these fighters in Argentina do not have strong endurance. They have less than 20 minutes of air control in the airspace of Falklands, and the actual combat effect is greatly reduced.
But fortunately, the Argentine Air Force is all elite, and its pilots have superb combat skills, and the Argentine Air Force’s standard equipment is also made in France, not weaker than the British equipment, so it even fought with the British Air Force during the First Sky War.
And the Argentine Navy also deployed on a large scale, rushing to the Falkland Islands with supplies, and competing with the British Navy in the sea.
And Galtieri did not forget to ask for help. He called the United States frantically, hoping to get support from the United States, but there was no response from all the calls.
What Galtieri didn't know was that Margaret Thatcher had already telephoned Ronald Reagan, and the American Atlantic geostationary satellite sent intelligence about Argentina and Falklands to the British fleet every day.
Margaret Thatcher received the intelligence sent back from the battlefield and learned that Argentina relied on legal equipment to fight the British army. She immediately energized the leaders of European countries who sold arms to Argentina.
On the early morning of April 17, France "cut off cooking" with Argentina, announcing that the arms export project for which the agreement had been signed had been suspended.
Then West Germany, the Netherlands and other countries also issued statements to stop all strategic equipment and material transactions with Argentina.
Argentina’s military equipment and ammunition reserves are facing unprecedented challenges. Galtieri had to make a national speech, accusing developed countries of the joint sanctions against Argentina, and then ordered all factories across the country to be temporarily converted into military factories to produce all military Materials and equipment require workers to perform their duties and contribute to the country.
The Argentine national who was excited about taking back the sovereignty of Falkland Islands half a month ago finally realized how bad the situation was this time.
It is a pity that the British intelligence system has already begun to be manipulated in Argentina, causing many riots in Argentina.
For a time, Argentina's internal and external troubles were extremely serious!
The scales of victory are tilting toward the British side at an extremely fast speed!
Xia Yu, who has been learning about the latest situation in London, is very happy The more efficient the British military is, the faster the war ends, the more beneficial it will be to him!
……
During this half a month in the UK, Xia Yu has not been idle either.
He sorted out his assets in the UK and made many adjustments to strengthen his control and influence on companies in various fields.
In his free time, he also went to see the Warwick Castle bought from the Cavendish family, and arranged renovation and repair work according to his own opinions.
Afterwards, he made a special trip to the Cavendish family and visited Porter Philip Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire. He also brought some Romani Conti and Latour wines as gifts, taking this opportunity Deepen the relationship with each other.
Of course, gifts will be given to Duke Porter Philip Cavendish. It is unreasonable that Duke Carter Howard, Prince Philip and Duke Ian Campbell will fall. In the face of friendship, a few precious wines are nothing.
Besides, if it is reported that these big people like Romani Conti and Latour wines, it can definitely greatly enhance the reputation of Romani Conti and Latour wines in the UK. Xia Yu will also make a lot of money!
PS: It’s really hard to break after one chapter.
