Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

After Xia Yu and Elena left, Prince Philip packed up and returned to London. He met his wife and Margaret Thatcher successively, and told them about his meeting with Xia Yu.

The opinions of the two were very unified. Margaret Thatcher came forward to meet Xia Yu on behalf of the government. The stability of Xiangjiang can be discussed, but the premise is that the news of Xia Yu must be guaranteed to play a huge role in the United Kingdom.

The next day at ten o'clock in the morning.

Xia Yu arrived at 10 Downing Street and met Margaret Thatcher, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and Prince Philip, whom he had just seen yesterday, in the prime minister's luxurious drawing room.

The superficial work of politicians has always been done well, and the atmosphere of meeting is very friendly.

After a simple greeting, Margaret Thatcher sat on the main seat, asked Xia Yu to sit on the sofa on the left, and Prince Philip sat on the sofa on the right.

According to the division of labor agreed yesterday, today Prince Philip is mainly listening in, and the negotiation is dominated by Margaret Thatcher.

Due to the urgency of time and the serious issue of war.

Therefore, Margaret Thatcher did not chat too much with Xia Yu, and went straight to the topic.

She looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said, "Mr. Xia, Prince Philip told me the general information yesterday. After deliberation, we have reached a preliminary opinion."

Xia Yu's eyes narrowed, he looked straight at her, and his attention was highly concentrated.

Margaret Thatcher continued: "The stability of Hong Kong can be negotiated, but only if your news is of great help to the UK."

"I represent the government and Prince Philip represents the royal family and is responsible for this commitment!"

"Of course it's fine!"

Xia Yu suddenly smiled and nodded.

Now that the Prime Minister and Prince Philip have put the stability of Hong Kong on the negotiating table, the last worry in his heart is gone.

His confidence grows stronger!

"Then please tell us the details you know."

Margaret Thatcher said immediately.

Xia Yu smiled and said: "This is a long story, but I just prepared in advance and wrote the relevant information in the notebook, please wait!"

After speaking, Xia Yu opened the briefcase he brought, and under the attention of Margaret Thatcher and Prince Philip, he took out a notebook, and then solemnly handed it to Margaret Thatcher .

The latter immediately took the notebook and opened it, and Prince Philip also leaned over to look at it together.

The above information was handwritten by Xia Yuchun, and the printer was useless.

Fortunately, his handwriting is very beautiful, and there is no obstacle to browsing.

Both Margaret Thatcher and Prince Philip looked in disbelief when they saw an obvious country name.

Argentina!

Could it be Argentina?

How did they have the guts?

It's just a waste of time!

Margaret Thatcher wanted to throw the notebook out of her hand for a moment, but considering that Xia Yu used it as a bargaining chip to negotiate, it was impossible for Xia Yu to fool them, so she kept her patience and kept looking down.

But with constant browsing, her mentality gradually changed.

Seeing that the faces of Margaret Thatcher and Prince Philip became more dignified and cold, Xia Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up the coffee and drank it leisurely.

At the same time, his mind once again deduced a simulation of how to negotiate later.

After a long time, Margaret Thatcher and Prince Philip finally read all the information in the notebook, and their faces were very solemn.

"Argentine Provisional Military Government!"

Margaret Thatcher's eyes flashed with a gloom as she thought of all the circumstances in her mind about Argentina's provisional military government.

If someone told her before that Argentina dared to provoke Britain and start a war against Britain, she would never believe it.

Although Argentina is now a big country in South America, and the influence of the United Kingdom is also weakening, it is not an Argentina that can be provocative!

Furthermore,

Nor has she been briefed on the attitude and instability of the Argentine junta as reported below.

And to be honest, the territorial conflicts between the United Kingdom and Argentina are mainly concentrated in the Malvinas Islands.

With the continuous loss of overseas colonies after World War II, Britain's attitude towards overseas colonies has changed.

In the past two decades, the British government has analyzed the Malvinas Islands, which are isolated in a corner of the South Atlantic Ocean, many times. This is a heavy burden, and giving up is the best choice.

It’s just that because of the lack of resources on the archipelago, and most of the residents are British, they have neither independent capital nor want to become Argentine, so it has been unresolved, and even the British government has repeatedly persuaded the residents of the island to accept Argentina. get away.

Especially in the past ten years, the British government has been actively negotiating with Argentina in an attempt to properly resolve the Falklands issue, and has also signed a number of agreements. To Argentina, even after Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979, he further mentioned the new plan of returning the sovereignty of the Falklands to Argentina and gradually transferring administrative power.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that Argentina is waiting to receive the Falklands!

One wants it, and the other wants to give it. The negotiation has been going on for nearly 20 years, and the result will be seen soon.

So after seeing Argentina at first, Margaret Thatcher would feel very absurd, unless Argentina is out of her mind and will take the initiative to start a war.

But after reading Xia Yu's information and analysis, Margaret Thatcher is now dubious.

She is somewhat convinced that the risk of war exists, and it is not small.

Because "foreign wars can transfer internal conflicts" has been tested by history, and this is a mistake that dictators in the past will make!

It is really possible for the stupid big men with full brains and muscles in the Argentine military government to do unreasonable things.

The domestic situation in Argentina is already out of control, not to mention the military government that has hardly shown its ability to govern the country for decades, and the British government may not be able to reverse it.

After all, the situation in the UK is not too light compared to Argentina. Even so, the UK is still struggling in the quagmire.

According to the information written in Xia Yu's notebook, the internal contradictions in Argentina are now very sharp. The data shows that in the past six months, Argentina's inflation rate has exceeded 500%, and its GDP has been three consecutive quarters. Down more than 10 percent year-on-year, manufacturing output has fallen by more than 20 percent, while worker wages have not risen by more than 20 percent.

The trade union, which has more and more supporters in Argentina, has launched a long-term general strike, and the government is spurned and hated by the people.

The Chairman of the Argentine Military Council and the Army Commander-in-chief, Opoldo Fortunato Galtieri, was incompetent and incompetent. He had been relying on a high-pressure situation to barely maintain his rule. Now that there are rising domestic opposition in Argentina, Galtieri is in urgent need of political achievements to prove the military. The timeliness of the government proves that it can change the country!

The solution is to take back the Falklands with a tough hand and become an Argentine national hero.

...

After a long time, Margaret Thatcher put the notebook on the table, her face returned to calm, she looked at Xia Yu quietly, and said slowly: "Mr. Xia, I have read the information, but this information is full of uncertainty. ."

"And most importantly, Argentina will never be our opponent, we will not lose!"

Margaret Thatcher said the last sentence with sonorous force, as if to tell a given fact.

Negotiations have officially begun!

Xia Yu smiled lightly and said calmly, "Ms. Margaret, although the British army has not fought a war for 20 years, the strength of the United Kingdom is unquestionable. I believe that on a global scale, Argentina is absolutely Not an adversary for Britain."

"But the Falklands are next to Argentina, half the world for the UK, and the supply lines and troop transport lines are too long."

"I believe that before seeing my information, no one will believe that Argentina wants to take back the Falklands by force. For example, if you have not received such information, you can see that the following people do not take this matter at all. It's all about it."

"In this case, can the troops stationed on the Falklands be able to resist the Argentine army?"

"Once the Argentine government succeeds in retaking the Falkland Islands, Britain's prestige will take a heavy blow."

"With the information I have now, as long as the United Kingdom is prepared in advance, it will be able to teach the Argentine military government a complete lesson, and will definitely be able to achieve a comprehensive victory, whether it is for you or for the United Kingdom, it will be a huge victory. ."

"Factually speaking, the value of this intelligence is enormous."

Margaret Thatcher's eyes flickered, and she was moved.

She has been in office for so long, because of the privatization reform, the unemployment rate has soared, and her approval rating has been declining.

And her diplomatic achievements have not been much. If she can show her tough foreign policy by beating Argentina, it can definitely improve the trend of temporarily stopping the decline of British influence, and can also give herself a greater support rate...

only……

The stability of Xiangjiang is also a relatively important direction for her diplomacy. The geographical position of Xiangjiang in Asia is also very important, and she still does not want to give up.

Profit must be maximized!

After thinking about it, she looked at Xia Yu sharply and asked, "But Mr. Xia, none of this happened. This information contains too many speculations. When do you think the Argentine military government will act?"

Xia Yu pretended to think for a moment, and said with certainty: "According to the current situation in Argentina, Galtieri can't hold on for too long. He can only hold on for more than half a year at most."

Margaret Thatcher frowned over the weekend and asked questioningly: "So maybe in April next year, Galtieri will act, what if he doesn't?"

Facing Margaret Thatcher's aggressive attitude, the smile on Xia Yu's face gradually disappeared, he sat up straight, and said solemnly: "He will definitely act, this is the only way for him to maintain his rule, If he doesn't, he'll just be kicked out."

"As a dictator, he has a high probability of doing so."

Margaret Thatcher took a bite and retorted: "But none of this has happened yet, and it may not even happen."

"So if you want to use this intelligence as a bargaining chip, it's not enough."

Prince Philip also said with a drink: "Mr. Xia, the Prime Minister is right. The value of your intelligence cannot be directly reflected, and it is full of uncertainty."

Margaret Thatcher looked regretful, and her tone was full of regret and helplessness: "Unfortunately, it is difficult for us to agree to your conditions."

Xia Yu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Margaret, first of all, I would like to state one more thing. The British government has the right and obligation to manage and develop Hong Kong. Even if Argentina won't make any outrageous actions, the United Kingdom has the obligation to let it go. Hong Kong is back to prosperity."

Seeing that Margaret Thatcher's face was a little ugly, Xia Yu's tone softened and said slowly: "Of course, what you said makes sense, then we can choose a compromise!"
