Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The Iron Lady can be regarded as a ruthless person. If she didn't have courage, she wouldn't be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The UK is a constitutional monarchy, and the royal family has no real power; the country is managed by the Prime Minister and Parliament. Of course, Britain does not prioritize women, and the Queen is the best proof. But becoming a female prime minister requires much more hard work than a man.

Moreover, Mrs. Thatcher was the first female prime minister in British history. You must know that the British Empire was ranked first in the world at that time. It was from her that many female prime ministers and presidents appeared in the world. It is definitely a pioneer. characters.

At this time, the British Empire's control over Hong Kong was much worse than it was in 1982; the wealthy Chinese businessmen did not care about the British thoughts and feelings at all. This is especially true for Bao Zixuan. Although there is still a lot of investment in Xiangjiang, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Fucaira is the core.

Looking at how much treasury bonds purchased by the rich local businessmen in the UK is more of an excuse; but it also reflects from the side that it currently does not want to completely separate from the British Empire.

The return of Hong Kong is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change this; but that will still take a few years, and it is still managed by the British Empire. As long as you want to cause trouble for the Heiyun Group, you can still do it. Of course, I didn't dare to be too blatant, but I was disgusted by the richest man; there was still no problem at all.

Bao Zixuan has already stated that the UK cannot do things too harshly or push the other side too hard. If the world's richest man were really provoked and secretly helped Argentina, it would be almost impossible for the British Empire to end with dignity.

Argentina is too close to the Falkland Islands; the British Empire needed to sail thousands of miles, and the opponent's air force could completely cover the entire sea area.

Argentina’s population is not that small, but its economy and technology are lacking. But these two things are exactly what Bao Zixuan lacks most. As long as both parties cooperate and take advantage of geographical advantages, Britain can only end in failure.

If you want local wealthy British people and families to buy national debt, the royal family must show an attitude; it will definitely require the Queen's intervention.

The Iron Lady, who had been thinking in the car, soon arrived at Buckingham Palace.

I learned that the Prime Minister was coming to see me, and it was so early; there must be an emergency. The Queen of England put down her breakfast and went directly to the drawing room.

The two are already very familiar with each other, which saves them a lot of red tape.

The Iron Lady said directly: "Your Majesty, within 6 hours, the Empire stationed troops in the Falkland Islands and was attacked by the Argentine submarine force. Fifteen of our warships were sunk."

The Queen of England was also surprised to hear that the losses were so heavy. I also served in the army during World War II, and after becoming the queen, I learned some military-related knowledge. Combined with the last Falklands War, there was a gap in strength between Britain and Argentina; the last time a fighter jet was shot down by the Argentine army, it was considered impossible. How come it now directly sunk the Royal Navy warships that the British Empire was proud of; and fifteen ships at a time.

Even though the Falkland Islands garrison uses old warships, their strength is far superior to that of the Argentines.

When did the Argentine army possess such terrifying combat effectiveness? Is there any unknown secret here?

The Queen said very seriously: "Mrs. Thatcher, are you sure that the Royal Navy was attacked by the Argentine army. It is really incredible when the other party had such terrifying combat power."

Doubt is normal, even in recent times; the combat effectiveness shown by the Argentines is much stronger than that in 1982. But it was impossible for them to sink fifteen warships at once.

Even though the status of the Air Force is becoming more and more important, the Navy is still the most difficult branch to form combat effectiveness; it requires background and many high-quality talents to maximize the performance of weapons and equipment. There are many great military powers in the world, but not many great naval powers.

The British Empire was able to dominate the world as an island nation for hundreds of years because of the power of the Royal Navy. However, apart from some old warships, the Argentine Navy really can't think of any useful weapons and equipment.

It is already very good to train not to be sunk, but how can you have the strength to sink a British warship?

The Iron Lady thought for a while and said: "The report of Major General Thompson, commander of the eradication garrison, did not find out which country was responsible. However, based on the analysis of the Royal Navy's comprehensive strength, if it is other forces, it can be discovered immediately that there is no possibility of a successful sneak attack. "

"Intelligence shows that the Argentine Navy has ordered a batch of submarines from the Soviet Union. In addition, the empire's military garrison in the Falkland Islands is average and they are all old warships. It is understandable that they were attacked by a sneak attack."

In fact, recently, the Queen also wanted to have a good chat with the Iron Lady. The shooting down of fighter jets and the seizure of Japanese merchant ships are not trivial matters. Although the royal family has no de facto power, it can serve as the nominal head of state; it still hopes to make some contributions to the country.

The British and Japanese royal families have a good relationship with each other; naturally they do not want conflicts to arise. Directly lowering the diplomatic level is something that neither royal family wants to see.

Of course, the Queen of the United Kingdom also knows that she should not participate in the decisions of the Prime Minister and Parliament; but I believe that her opinions can still play a certain role.

Queen: "Now that it is confirmed, just implement it according to the plan; no matter what the decision is, the royal family will fully support it."

"Although the British Empire is no longer what it used to be, its majesty still does not allow provocation. Especially Argentina is not a very strong country. It can even be said to be a very weak country."

"What's the matter with Japan? But we can't make enemies everywhere."

From the moment the Queen called her Mrs. Thatcher, she knew she had something on her mind; now that she mentioned Japan, she naturally knew what was going on.

The Iron Lady thought for a moment and said: "According to intelligence, Japan smuggled a large amount of weapons and equipment to Argentina. It's just that the Japanese are very clever; they deliberately used the New City cargo ship as a cover, making the empire somewhat unprepared."

"But your Majesty can rest assured that the matter with the Argentines has been dealt with; I will properly resolve the relationship with Japan."

The Queen is such a smart person, of course she knew what the Iron Lady was thinking, so she didn't say anything more.

The current top priority is to deal with the Argentines. Only by completely defeating them and defeating them can the long-term peace and stability of the Falkland Islands be ensured.

The Queen smiled and said: "What do you need from the royal family?"

At the critical moment, we must not let go of the chain; we must set an example, otherwise we will not convince the people.

Iron Lady: "Although the domestic economic situation has improved in recent years, the military expenditure required for an expedition thousands of miles away is a big expense; we must be fully prepared. In addition, in recent years, the Argentineans have added a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, we The Party must not succumb to others; otherwise it will be irresponsible to the soldiers on the front line."

"It plans to issue 30 billion pounds of national debt to meet the needs of fighting Argentina."

During the Falklands War in 1982, war bonds were mainly issued in Xiangjiang; but now Xiangjiang businessmen will not pay attention to you at all, and they will only buy a few tokens at most; even if it is a great face.

Even if Xiangjiang's economy is developing, the area is limited after all; the population is only so large, and it is impossible to see the fat sheep being harvested. If it goes too far, not only Xiangjiang merchants will object; China mainland will not agree either. At this moment, they are about to fight the Argentines, and the diplomatic level with Japan has also been lowered; if there is a conflict with China.

The British Empire at its peak probably didn't have to worry; now, forget it!

30 billion pounds is not a small amount at any time, let alone this is still the 1980s. From ancient times to the present, war has been the most expensive activity; without funds, it is impossible to survive. This is what the saying goes, as soon as the cannon goes off, gold is ten thousand taels.

If you can't get it from Xiangjiang, you can only find a way from the UK; as for other Commonwealth countries, there is basically no chance!

The Queen is nominally the head of dozens of countries, but it has more of a symbolic meaning; if something happens to the UK, it has nothing to do with them. When the Iron Lady comes over and it becomes inevitable to send troops to Argentina, it is natural that the royal family needs to come forward to coordinate some things.

Many British aristocrats and super-rich families still recognize the royal family very much. The main thing is that the interests are consistent and need to be safeguarded together.

The Queen smiled and said: "How much needs the royal family to solve."

At this critical moment, the British royal family will never back down; of course, they will not dare to back down.

Iron Lady: "Before coming here, I had someone contact Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group."

"This time, Black Cloud Group and Blackstone Fund took advantage of the dividends from the Japanese stock market and property market to earn more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. Of course, now is no different than in 1982, when Hong Kong is about to return to mainland China; the other party also owns Fucaira."

"But as long as the British Empire manages Hong Kong for a day, he will sell it to save face. He did not say clearly how many national debts he would buy, but he said that it would definitely not be less than what any aristocrat or big family in the UK would buy."

"The meaning is obvious. Look at the attitude of the British family. If there is no domestic support, how can we let outsiders contribute."

The Queen is also a straightforward person and said directly to the butler: "We will hold a dinner party tomorrow night and compile a list."

The housekeeper was also stunned, but quickly reacted. In fact, it is normal to think about it. The Falkland Islands are already such an emergency, so they naturally need efficiency. If time didn't allow it, maybe the banquet would be held tonight.

With the royal family having such an attitude, the Iron Lady felt much more at ease; at this moment, the entire British Empire must share the same hatred; otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat the powerful enemy.

There was a trip to Parliament later, and the British Empire was about to enter a state of war; preparations needed to be made.

As for the Presidential Palace in Brinos Aires, Argentina, it is a different story at the moment.

The Director of the Intelligence Division said very excitedly: "Your Excellency, the four submarines ordered from the Soviet Union have successfully completed their mission. A total of fifteen British warships, large and small, were sunk, and our side suffered losses on May Day."

Alphonse couldn't believe her ears when she heard that the first dispatch had achieved fruitful results. Was it because the Argentine Navy was too weak or the Soviet submarines were too strong? Is the British Royal Navy nothing more than that?

Alfonsin thought for a moment and said, "Is the news accurate?"

Suspicion is normal. Even though the British stationed on the Falklands are all old warships, the result of dispatching four submarines and sinking fifteen other warships is still a bit exaggerated.

The director of the intelligence department said very seriously: "It has been confirmed that there is absolutely no exaggeration."

Although the submarines were operated by Soviet mercenaries, there were our intelligence personnel on each submarine; they saw British warships being sunk with their own eyes. And news came from two radar stations that fifteen British warships had disappeared from the radar.

See it with your own eyes, and with radar assistance, the results can be confirmed.

Alphonse smiled and said: "Very good, the navy fought beautifully this time; come back to celebrate for them. But now is not the time to be happy, we must be prepared for the British counterattack."

Having learned from Galtieri's mistakes, we dare not take it lightly. The British are not easy to mess with. Even if their overall strength declines, they are still far above Argentina.

Director of the Intelligence Division: "Don't worry, President, the intelligence department has already taken action; any disturbance on the Falklands will be known immediately. At the same time, the military is also ready. As long as the British dare to attack the Argentine mainland, they will be allowed to do so." There is no return.”

"At present, the main force of British troops stationed in the Falklands has been eliminated, and there is no way to launch a counterattack; but with the character of the British, they will definitely retaliate. War is inevitable, and we must be fully prepared."

He had not made up his mind before whether to go to war with the British, but there was no turning back. Now it was useless to think about anything else but to actively prepare for war; he did not want to make the same mistake again.

Alfonsin: "What is the situation in the military? Is there a specific combat plan?"

Shooting down two British fighter jets and sinking fifteen warships has allowed the Argentine army to regain its confidence. Otherwise, don't talk about a battle plan. I probably wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Director of the Intelligence Division: "Based on the Soviet consultant's plan analysis, we should not directly capture the Falklands at this moment."

"Based on the current strength of the Argentine military, it should focus on sneak attacks; take them by surprise and attack them unprepared; in order to achieve the desired results. If we stick to the Falklands, we will not be able to defend them at all without sea and air control."

"Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the British occupy the Falklands; then they will be the ones who can't let go."

"As long as the navy and air force can defeat the British Expeditionary Fleet, then the garrison on the Falklands is nothing to worry about."

Not capturing the Falklands now would be equivalent to providing a forward airport to the British; but as the Soviet adviser said, Argentina's strength is really difficult to defend.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the British occupy it for a while; as long as they destroy the expedition fleet that came to support, nothing else matters.

This is not the suggestion of Soviet advisers, everything is controlled by the richest man Bao behind the scenes. With the character of the British, two fighter jets were shot down and fifteen warships were sunk; they would definitely not give up and would naturally teach the Argentines a lesson. And the intensity of the blow will definitely be greater than last time.

Although they took advantage in the early stage, when the British came to their doorstep, Argentina would launch a counterattack even if they were weak. With the Falklands as a forward base, Britain will definitely send more fighter jets over. It will then turn into a war of attrition. With the current strength of the British Empire, it will be difficult to bear.

But facing the Argentinians, we must persist even if we grit our teeth. After all, the help of the United States is limited. When the Black Cloud Group is found again, the British will agree to any conditions they want to put forward. This is the purpose of Bao richest man.

I'm very sorry, I feel very uncomfortable after being exposed to the sun in the past few days; the highest temperature is over 40, and even now I am still a little dizzy and have not completely recovered! But everyone can rest assured that as long as there are no accidents, they will be updated!
