British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 1569: desalination

Rex Hunt, the Falkland Islands chief executive, was instructed by London to release the Argentines who had trespassed on the islands and return them to Argentina.

At the same time, through the contact of Foreign Secretary Carrington and US Secretary of State Haig, to convey the Galtieri military government, the United Kingdom hopes to play down the mentality of handling this matter, "territorial disputes can be discussed, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, the two countries should be peaceful. In resolving territorial disputes, the UK has always supported Argentina's military junta's position to defend the free world."

General Galtieri, who regarded the landing in the Falkland Islands as a problem, heaved a sigh of relief when he met the American ambassador and said gratefully, "Argentina is very grateful for the role of the United States in defending the rights and interests of the Americas."

"Of course!" The American ambassador to Argentina was a little strange, but the other party was full of gratitude, so he answered happily, "This is what the United States has been doing."

Before Galtieri visited the United States, US President Ronald Reagan had a good impression of him and praised the Argentine military government for its good anti-Soviet efforts. Reagan's national security adviser Richard also thought Galtieri was an "excellent general". , which greatly increased Galtieri's prestige in Argentina.

At this time, a dialogue between Reagan and Reagan is taking place in Washington. The two people in the dialogue are the Secretary of the Treasury and the President of the United States of America. After Reagan took office, the operation is clear, and the problem is the same as that faced by Mrs. Thatcher. The situation is not very good, and the only good news may be that the Iranian side officially released the hostages held in its hands.

President Reagan is preparing to travel to the Federal Republic of Germany with his appointed special envoy, former President Jimmy Carter, to bring the detained Americans back home.

"The interest rate hike must be carried out. This time, I will go to Europe and discuss a result with the UK side." The Minister of Finance said, "As for the Argentine issue, we also need to see what the UK thinks."

President Reagan agreed. "A rate hike will inevitably drain the dollar's liquidity. We need someone to take over. The UK has been maintaining resistance in the sterling area, which is very uncomfortable."

Many problems, Reagan didn't think it was a problem when he was governor, but he thought it was a problem when he became president. The currency separation composed of Britain, France and Germany in old Europe is still powerful.

But now that the Soviet Union is thrown out of the West, Reagan felt that he should treat European allies kindly.

"Now we should appease Argentina first, and the secretary of state should understand Argentina's behavior while watching the British response."

In Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, hundreds of thousands of patriots took to the streets to support their heroes and bravely boarded the Falklands to raise the Argentine Falklands Protection Organization.

The hero in the middle of the float is full of flowers and applause everywhere. Today, all Argentines can talk and be patriotic. Through this move, they pay tribute to the national hero they call themselves. The Argentine media is also full of blind optimism. , Buenos Aires newspapers and magazines swept up the "heroes of the Argentine hero".

The British Foreign Office said that it was downplaying the matter, a move that attracted attention from a civil organization. At the same time, the British ambassador to Argentina reiterated that both the United Kingdom and Argentina are allies of the United States, and such an island is insignificant to the two countries. The problem, the UK has said it can be discussed.

At present, Argentina and the United States are in the honeymoon period. Argentina is an important supporter of the United States in Latin America. Argentina also provides military advisers and camps, and supports the anti-Soviet forces in Nicaragua together with the CIA to ensure that the pro-Soviet government in Nicaragua cannot stand firm. heel.

Nothing happened in the next few days, as if this island landing incident did not happen. For other countries, it is impossible for Argentina to pretend that it did not happen. On the contrary, the Argentine patriots have tested the bottom line of the United Kingdom, and this public opinion pressure that the United Kingdom will not respond will be added to Galtieri.

The only thing that happened in the UK was that Alan Wilson went to participate in Albert's promotion. Although it was a normal promotion according to regulations, Alan Wilson seriously asked Markins, the Permanent Secretary of Defense, "You won't be because of I'm the secretary general of the cabinet, so let's do it, you must know that the army is different from other departments, and you can't engage in these nepotisms."

"There is absolutely no such thing. The promotion of Colonel Albert is completely in line with the regulations and has nothing to do with the cabinet secretary." Markins justly assured that the military is a just place, how could it be ruled by the cabinet secretary? influences? Civil servants and the military are two systems.

However, it is not impossible to say that he was affected by a retired but still living marshal and an important member of the royal family, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Whitehall.

"Oh, that's good." Alan Wilson finally showed a smile on his business-filled face, "Since it's Albert's own ability, he can't deliberately suppress me just because I'm the cabinet secretary. In fact, I'm very It is also unfair to children to oppose some parents sacrificing their children for their own reputation."

Markins was in awe. He absolutely believed that when the supreme authority said this, it was from the heart. This kind of reputation and reputation gained through sacrifice and suppression must be absolutely prohibited.

The current and former presidents of the United States will appear in person in Frankfurt, Germany, to pick up the released American hostages, and hope that Margaret Thatcher will also come to witness this moment.

Alan Wilson knew that there must be something else, maybe the Falkland Islands, but he still suggested that Mrs Thatcher make a trip. This kind of superficial work should never be stingy.

Alan Wilson also took out an American bestseller, "Japan First: Implications for America" ​​as part of professional image management, which made the American side look at itself differently.

Alan Wilson, who was promoted, went home with his eldest son who was only one step away from the general. It was obvious that Albert was very happy. In addition to the promotion, he also sent his wife Sophia back to Hoxon Manor. living thing.

"Time is such a silent thing." Alan Wilson was very sentimental, "I didn't expect to be a grandfather, and I wasn't mentally prepared for a while."

In fact, the supreme authority wants to say that according to his age, it is not Albert's turn, but he does not understand the situation behind the Iron Curtain, and he does not know the current situation of Alexeyev.

"Prepare well, don't think the world will be calm." Alan Wilson instructed his eldest son, the British military strength should be about seven heavy aircraft carrier battle groups, twenty-eight nuclear submarines, and one hundred strategic bombers. More than 200 strategic transport aircraft, 500 Typhoon fighter jets, 800 Tiger armed helicopters, and the basis of Galileo navigation shared by France, think about how to fight a war.

"Who to fight? Father, didn't you say we can't fight the Soviet Union?" Colonel Albert paused as he said this. "Don't tell me you're going to fight Argentina?"

"With the Soviet Union, I will directly say 1,200 nuclear bombs." Alan Wilson Nunu said, "So it is definitely not with the Soviet Union. Our relationship with the Soviet Union is actually quite good."

Alan Wilson was determined to go to Frankfurt with Margaret Thatcher because he was really afraid that Margaret Thatcher would show the special relationship between Britain and the United States and agree to a request that the United States should not agree to. Last time, he almost sold the Kingdom of Iraq directly. So it was close, because the king of Iraq was also persuaded by the United States, so it was close.

At this point, the female prime minister is unbelievable. At present, the British economy is stable. This stability means that the unemployed population has not continued to rise. If it does not rise, it is good news.

In addition to Reagan and the Secretary of the Treasury of the same name, former President Carter, who appeared at the US military base in Frankfurt, came with Reagan as the special envoy this time. Katna was really simply here to pick up the hostages back home, but everyone else had other goals.

Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan asked Alan Wilson, "What exactly does the UK think about the territorial dispute with Argentina."

"For now, we are open-minded." Alan Wilson answered with a smile while holding the American best-selling book "Japan First: Revelation to the United States~www.wuxiaspot.com~", "The problem is the economy, and I believe the Secretary of the Treasury agrees with this. One point, this is a common problem faced by you and me, you and us, the United States and the United Kingdom. This problem always has to be solved. The United Kingdom has some experience, such as raising interest rates. The conditions in the United States are better than those in the United Kingdom. I believe it can be achieved. good effect."

"On the issue of raising interest rates, we have the same view." Donald Reagan pondered staring at the best-selling book in the other's hand, "Raising interest rates alone may not be enough, and some cooperation is more effective."

The two had a dialogue like a riddle, and finally Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask about the dispute between the United Kingdom and Argentina, and what the United States' attitude was.

Donald Reagan answered bluntly, blood is thicker than water, the special relationship between Britain and the United States, but still hope to solve the problem peacefully.

"Actually, if the two countries fight, it will be beneficial for raising interest rates to recover the dollar." Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "But what is it good for me? Can the United States help the United Kingdom solve its economic problems? Can it be exempted from car imports? Share, you must know that war is very scary, and you feel full of confidence before the fight, but it’s not like that when you fight.”

"Dear Sir, the United Kingdom and the United States are one, and the United States will also provide some conditions for victory." Donald Reagan sighed in his heart. Fortunately, there is a spokesman for the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States for many years in the United Kingdom, who can provide cover for the United States to raise interest rates. "The responsibility for starting the war will certainly not fall on the UK. As for other issues, the Mountbatten Group has always been a friend of Wall Street."
