Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Regardless of whether the time was right, George Young drove himself to the Prime Minister's official residence at No. 10 Downing Street. Fifteen warships were sunk. Although there were not many main warships, it was such a serious loss; it was also the first time after World War II. Even during the Falklands War, the Royal Navy had never suffered such a big loss.

The second war with Argentina was inevitable; even if the British Empire was not prepared, it must face it bravely. This time is far more difficult than in 1982. Currently, the UK only has one aircraft carrier left. Fortunately, the Falkland Islands were not lost, and the plane took off and landed without any problems. But with the loss of sea control and the incomplete control of air control, how long can the Falkland Islands be in its hands?

As long as the Argentines want to, they can send troops to seize it at any time; the British Empire is not said to be powerless to fight back, but it definitely has no chance of winning. As Defense Secretary, there has never been a more stressful time than right now. However, it is also clear that it must be tough, and the British Empire cannot be afraid of any challenge.

When she was woken up in the middle of the night, the Iron Lady looked depressed; when she heard that it was Defense Minister George Young who was visiting, she knew that things were far from simple. After getting dressed, I didn't bother with any makeup; I went directly to the living room.

George Young said without any nonsense: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, half an hour ago, Major General Thompson, commander of the Falkland Islands Garrison, made an urgent encrypted call. An unknown submarine suddenly launched an attack on the Royal Navy of the British Empire. Fifteen warships of the Royal Navy Sunk; command of the sea in South America lost."

Hearing this, Iron Lady was very excited; what does it mean to be attacked by an unknown fleet. Fifteen warships were sunk, and they didn’t even know who the enemy was. How did Major General Thompson become the commander? Isn't he too useless?

But now is not the time to consider replacing the garrison commander, but to investigate the matter clearly.

Iron Lady: "Can't we be sure that he is Argentine now?"

In the waters of the Falkland Islands, except for British warships and the Argentine Navy, no other forces were found. I can't think of any other country besides the Argentines.

George Young: "The initial judgment is that it is Argentinian, but it is really weird. Before the submarine attack, the Royal Navy found nothing. This shows that the submarine has very advanced performance and extremely concealable."

"At present, other countries in the world except the United States and the Soviet Union do not have this technology at all; even the Empire and France are included. Even the Soviet Union has difficulty in achieving this with the processing accuracy and craftsmanship of submarine propellers."

"The analysis of the garrison is very likely that the Americans are behind it, but there is no evidence. Of course, Argentina purchased some weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union, including submarines."

"Due to the sudden incident, it is still under investigation. I have ordered Major General Thompson to enter a state of combat readiness and monitor the dynamics of Argentina at all times."

The Iron Lady couldn't believe it when she heard that it was probably done by Americans. But then I thought, the Argentines must be blamed for sinking the British warship; otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the Chinese people.

Iron Lady: “Besides Argentina, I really can’t think of any other country.”

"Immediately launch full mobilization to prepare for the second expedition to the Falkland Islands. This time the Argentines must be completely defeated, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

The Prime Minister has already made a decision, and he just needs to implement it conscientiously as a subordinate.

If it hadn't been too late, the Iron Lady would have really wanted to go to Buckingham Palace. We can only wait until the morning. Even if we go now, nothing will be solved.

George Young doesn't care about that. He still needs to coordinate the various military services. After the Minister of Defense left, it suddenly occurred to him that before the soldiers and horses were moved, food and grass should be sent first, and the issue of money and food must be coordinated first.

These require assistance from the financial department, and the soldiers can just fight the war.

The British Empire has a great reputation, but its domestic economic strength is really poor. I was thinking about issuing national bonds before, but with the current situation, I don’t think anyone would agree with it. Especially after Japan announced that it would lower its diplomatic level with the United Kingdom, Asian countries would certainly not buy it.

If a surprise attack on a British warship were to be carried out by the Americans, it would be almost impossible to seek support from the United States. Besides, Reagan is about to leave office, and he is not that concerned or enthusiastic about many things.

Strong support for the UK at this time is likely to cause the Republican Party to be attacked in future elections; as a veteran politician, he will not make such a low-level mistake.

Even if the United States supports it, the intensity will not be too great; taking into account the feelings of other Latin American countries, Americans do not dare to go too far in many things.

No one else can help except yourself. As for European countries, it is already good not to hold back, but it is impossible to sincerely help the UK.

Regarding the funding issue, Iron Lady immediately thought of one person; after the Falklands War, Black Cloud Group has been sanctioned by Argentina. As long as Bao Zixuan is willing to help, whether it is funds or weapons and equipment, everything can be solved. The intelligence department had previously reported that Mr. Bao had been in Japan.

According to previous media reports, the biggest beneficiaries of the Japanese stock and property market dividends are Blackstone Fund and Black Cloud Group. The profits earned by Bao Zixuan in Japan may exceed 100 billion US dollars.

What kind of concept is this? As long as you are willing to use it to launch two Falklands Wars, it will definitely be enough.

Regardless of whether the time was right, I called the Japanese embassy directly; of course, it is more appropriate to call it a consulate now.

The British Ambassador to Japan is also packing his bags. He was among the first batch of targets to be expelled; and he was still the first in line.

Naturally, we cannot lower diplomatic relations without allowing the former ambassador to stay in Japan; otherwise, it will appear too fake and will not attract enough attention from the British. The British ambassador is in a dilemma after receiving a call from the Prime Minister.

At this time, British diplomats were under strict surveillance by the Japanese. When I visited Bao Zixuan in the past, there was no guarantee whether I would be able to meet in person; it was hard to say whether the Japanese would agree to travel.

After all, Japanese officials have made it clear that the 12 diplomats must leave within 48 hours, otherwise tough measures will be taken.

However, it is impossible not to implement the Prime Minister's order; we can only bite the bullet, and the seriousness of the situation no longer allows for any hesitation.

I learned that the British Ambassador wanted to go out and visit Bao Zixuan, the richest man in the world. The Japanese immediately became alert, wondering whether there was an ulterior secret between the two parties.

Mr. Bao has been in Japan for some time. During this period, apart from meeting old friends and going to the company, he kept a very low profile. I have never met a British person before, so I am so reminded of this period; what do British people mean?

Noboru Takeshita didn't want to get things done, and his request to meet was not too much. The request was agreed, but after 48 hours, the British diplomats had to leave Japan.

At the same time, Heiyun intelligence personnel were reporting the relevant situation to Bao Shaofu; fifteen British warships were sunk, and the losses were so great; the Iron Lady, who was not a good-tempered person, was bound to take crazy revenge.

With the current strength of the British Empire, it is not that easy to organize an expeditionary fleet. In addition, the domestic economic situation in the UK is not very ideal, and He may also want to get support from Hong Kong.

The intelligence officer said slightly excitedly: "Boss, there is news from Argentina. Half an hour ago, four submarines launched a surprise attack on British warships. Fifteen warships of the Royal Navy were sunk, and there were no casualties on the Argentine side."

Unexpectedly, the results of the war were so great, and the British were really in decline. Even if it is a surprise attack, the Royal Navy, which once ranked first in the world, cannot have no means of counterattack. It's better now that fifteen warships were directly sunk without any losses to the enemy.

This is not a war, it is an exaggeration to say it is a massacre.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said, "Didn't the British notice it?"

A British warship was sunk in the Falklands, and the whole world knew that it was the Argentines. If no relevant evidence is found, the British will be humiliated. Fifteen warships were sunk, and the Royal Navy didn't even know what the enemy was doing. Who would take it seriously in the future?

Intelligence officer: "At present, it is only speculation, and even doubts about the United States. Based on the current situation analysis, the British have identified Argentina; they will be blamed on the Argentines no matter what. The second Falklands War is inevitable."

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "The British must organize their army first. It's hard to say whether they have the ability to expedition to South America at the moment!"

"We can't help them now. The Iron Lady is not a person who can swallow her anger. The whole world is waiting to see the British Empire's joke. If we don't take action, we will lose our international reputation!"

At this time, his subordinates came in to report; the British Ambassador to Japan asked for an audience.

Knowing that it was time to come, he could not avoid it, but Bao Shaofu did not expect that the Japanese would agree to the British ambassador coming. It seems that no one wants to make things happen unless they are already included in the deportation list.

Arriving at the living room, Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "It's a great honor for Your Excellency, the Ambassador, to come to my humble residence."

You must give the face you deserve. There is no need to offend others because of small details; the gain outweighs the loss.

Although the two have never met before, Xiangjiang is still managed by British people; even if they have a little relationship, they are not strangers. Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, the British Ambassador really didn't know what to say. If this is a humble house, then his home is not much different from a doghouse.

British Ambassador: "Mr. Bao is joking. I came here to discuss urgent matters with you."

The time given by Japan is limited, and London is still waiting for news; we must seize the time. If the negotiation cannot be reached within the stipulated time, it will be difficult to explain to the Prime Minister.

I knew very well what was going on, but I still had to pretend to be nonchalant.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious. If you have anything to do, talk about it slowly. Have a cup of tea first. The sky will not fall."

Seeing that the other party was not in a hurry, the British ambassador was speechless again. It was not the Fucairah warship that was emotionally sunk, otherwise you could still be so calm.

But you can't say this even to death; if you really offend someone completely, you will definitely not be able to complete the task assigned by the Prime Minister. At this time, the British Empire is facing an unprecedented crisis. Whether it can survive it smoothly depends on how much support it can win.

The man in front of him, as the world's richest man, had just made hundreds of billions of profits in Japan; he sincerely helped, and combined with the strength of the British Empire, it was not difficult to defeat Argentina.

British Ambassador: "Just now, Argentine submarines suddenly launched a sneak attack on the Royal Navy stationed in the Falkland Islands. Fifteen warships were sunk. Your Excellency the Prime Minister's meaning is very clear: Argentina must pay the price, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan pretended to be surprised; he didn't react at all, giving the impression that he knew about it in advance. As a diplomat, the other party has a very strong ability to observe words and emotions; he must not let out a trace.

Mr. Bao said with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, you are not mistaken! With the strength of the Argentine army, how can it be possible to sink fifteen British warships?"

The British ambassador felt it was normal for the expression on the world's richest man's part. If the Prime Minister hadn't personally called to explain the situation, he wouldn't have thought it would be possible. Argentina shot down two British fighter jets two days ago, which has already caused a stir. Now it is simply incomprehensible that fifteen warships were directly sunk.

If the Argentine army's combat effectiveness had really exploded, the last Falklands War would have ended in a disastrous defeat for the British Empire.

British Ambassador: "How could such a big thing go wrong? It was the Prime Minister who personally called, hoping to get Mr. Bao's help."

The British Empire, which was all-powerful in history, had a warship bombed and wanted to fight back, so it asked a businessman for help; it sounds ridiculous. But this is the fact. Currently, only Bao Zixuan has this strength.

Set your position and don't be blindly arrogant; Bao Zixuan is still very clear-headed about this. Even after owning Fucaira, he can no longer be regarded as an ordinary businessman; but he must not expand himself and keep a low profile at all times, so that he can live longer.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said: "As a Xiangjiang native, I am still willing to assist the British as long as I can. But I am just a businessman, and I already offended the Argentinians last time. If the trouble goes too far this time, I am really worried that the other party is behind it. "

"I hope you can understand, and also take me to tell my senior sister."

The richer people are, the more they are afraid of death; there is nothing wrong with this statement. But if you think about it from another angle, what the kid in front of you said makes sense.

During the Falklands War in 1982, Heiyun Group contributed both money and effort, which directly led to Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan being sanctioned by Argentina. Until now, Heiyun products have not been sold in Argentina, which is also a big loss.

In other words, Bao Zixuan is just a businessman; Argentina is as big as a country. If you really push the other party into a hurry and use extreme measures, Bao's life will definitely not be easy.

If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being missed; once you are included in Argentina’s must-kill list, you will never have peace.

But that is Bao Zixuan's matter and has nothing to do with Britain; aren't there many bodyguards around him! It's not that easy for the Argentines to succeed. He must complete the task, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the Prime Minister.

British Ambassador: "Mr. Bao is joking, Argentina would never dare. Besides, with the protection of the British Empire, there is no need to worry about safety issues."

It is estimated that after saying this, the old boy himself did not believe it. At present, we can only focus on appeasement. Getting the world's richest man to take out the money is the real purpose of the British!
