Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 510 A simple surrender ceremony
The Argentines had surrendered and Major Paulson began clearing the battlefield. What made it difficult for him to accept was that 37 comrades stayed in the Falkland Islands forever this time. Of the 530 people who came from Xiangjiang and were fully equipped, only less than 400 were able to continue fighting at this time. This made the first-time leader Major Paulson, whose troops participated in the war, found it difficult to accept it for a while.
But what Major Paulson didn't know was that this record had shocked the British. No commander in the history of the British army could match this record. Even in the Empire of the Age of Discovery, no general could do a better job than him.
After cleaning the battlefield, Major Paulson came to the Afghan commander. Seeing the opponent's military rank, even as the victor, Major Paulson still saluted the military salute first to show respect. The British did a pretty good job in this area, at least maintaining aristocratic etiquette very well; Major General Menendez also returned a military salute.
Major Paulson said: "I am Major Paulson-Butt, commander of the 12th Marine Battalion of the British Empire. Please report your name, position and rank, General."
Major General Menendez did not expect that the young commander in front of him was Paulson Butt, the same Paulson Butt who captured South Georgia Island and attacked the presidential palace. However, as a general, he should behave as he should, so he said: "Major General Menendez, the supreme commander of the Malvinas Islands in Argentina; Mr. Major, I am now your prisoner. Please treat my soldiers well in accordance with the Geneva Convention on War. "
Paulson-Bute heard that this was the supreme commander of the Afghan army, so it could be said that the war was over. So he said happily, "No problem, but please write a letter of surrender so that I can treat the Afghan soldiers in accordance with the Geneva War Convention."
Major General Menendez knew that as the defeated, he had no choice, so he could only return to the headquarters to write a letter of surrender. It didn't take long to write the surrender letter, and Paulson-Butt read it carefully.
Letter of surrender:
I, Major General Menéndez, Commander of the Argentine Army, Navy and Air Force in the Falkland Islands, surrender unconditionally to Major Paulson Butt, the representative of Her Majesty's Government.
Under the provisions of this agreement, all Afghan troops stationed in the Falklands will go to the location designated by Major But to hand over their guns, ammunition, various weapons, and various tools of war designated by Major But or other British officers.
Once this agreement takes effect, in accordance with the provisions of the Geneva Convention signed in 1949, all Afghan troops will be treated honorably and obey all relevant instructions on movement and centralized accommodation.
It also applies to Argentine garrisons deployed around Port Stanley, East/West Falkland and other outer islands.
Signed: Major General Menendez, Commander of the Argentine Armed Forces
Signed: Major Paulson-Butt

Because the two-pronged war was more intense than in the previous life, the war lasted half a month longer. This is one of the main reasons why so many people have been sacrificed by Britain and Afghanistan. However, Paulson-Butt made a serious mistake, that is, he did not have the right to accept the total surrender of the Afghan army. After all, he was not the supreme commander on the battlefield. , at best, he is a commando captain.
The achievements he has made have already made people envious, and this time he has stolen the limelight from his boss. If he does not handle it well, it will cause a lot of trouble in the future. Fortunately, the situation was booming at this time, and the war had been won, so no one felt that he was taking over.
After receiving the news of the surrender of the Argentine army, the commander-in-chief of the task force, Admiral John Federhaus, immediately reported the news to the country. Although it was already late at night, the whole of Britain was boiling again. Knowing that it was Paulson Butt who led the team to capture the enemy's headquarters before winning the victory, the British people wanted to see what this legendary major looked like. Even the Queen said that this Butt Does the special major have three heads and six arms? Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?
The British army began to clean up the battlefield, although they looked down upon the Argentinian weapons and equipment. But after all, it is a weapon, and if someone disobeys orders and fires at them, it can kill people.
John Federhaus took Prince Andrew to the Falkland Islands, both wanting to know the situation as soon as possible. Prince Andrew, as a representative of the royal family, must comfort the wounded warriors of a country that nominally belongs to their family.
After Paulson-Bute saw the two men, he quickly stepped forward to salute. He had just been dazzled by the victory, even a little carried away, but now he has sobered up. In fact, many things were given to him by Heiyun employees, and Bao Zixuan was behind them, but he only took the credit. This is also an investment, and the return will definitely not be low.
John Federhaus said with a smile: "Major Paulson Boot, you once again brought surprise to the entire British Empire. You could have been promoted based on your military exploits, but the Queen and the Prime Minister called and said that you had to wait until you returned to London. Promotion together during the celebration, I believe you will become an icon of the British Empire by then."
Paulson-Butt: "It doesn't matter what honors I can get personally. Now I am mainly concerned about what the soldiers who died in the battle can get. After all, most of the soldiers are civilian children, and their families are not very wealthy. They were all brought by me from the UK. Hong Kong, and brought the Falkland Islands from Hong Kong. It can be said that we are like brothers, and now they died fighting for the country. I have an obligation to care about the future life of their families."
Hearing what Paulson Bute said, John Federhaus and Prince Andrew's views on him changed greatly. This person's future is absolutely limitless. If he can really take care of the families of the fallen soldiers, he will definitely get more love and support from soldiers.
In fact, this was the idea given to him by Heiyun employees, and they asked him to give all the rewards he received this time to the soldiers below. As long as you get the honor, you can't have all the good things done by yourself.
Prince Andrew said with a serious expression: "Please rest assured that the empire will ensure the livelihood of the families of the soldiers who died fighting for the country. When I return, I will establish a retired soldiers association to specifically solve the life problems of the families of injured and sacrificed soldiers."
Major General Menendez, the top military commander of the Falkland Islands in Argentina, has been brought over at this time. As the commander-in-chief of the task force, Admiral John Federhouse wants to communicate with him. Even if the other party has been defeated, there are still many follow-up steps. Things need to be resolved.
Paulson-Bute handed the surrender note written by Menendez to John Federhouse, and was relieved after seeing that the old man was not angry. After all, I was a little complacent before and did not correct the issue of Argentine Major General Menendez’s name on the surrender document.
John Federhaus took out a pen and signed the notary's name on the surrender document, proving that he recognized the surrender document; this made both Menendez and Paulson Butt very happy.
Menendez was because Britain truly accepted the surrender of the Argentine army, although it was not a glorious thing for Argentina. But finally there is no need to fight anymore, and the soldiers no longer have to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Paulson-Butt is because his name can be written on such an important document. This is a document that will be displayed in a military museum. Future generations will definitely be able to see his name. It can be said that this war has gained a lot. Unimaginable.
The reporters accompanying the army began to take photos. These are the best news materials. In any case, Britain has achieved victory, which is a huge encouragement to the people at home.
This time the British did not deliberately embarrass the Argentines, and the surrender ceremony was very simple. The British also understand that if they go too far, Argentina will always come to look for trouble and it will be difficult to deal with it, and it is impossible to always fight across thousands of miles. The current result is already very good.
The victory of the war was celebrated throughout the country, and the Falkland Islands still belonged to the British Empire. It has proven itself internationally and has also calmed down some colonies that were ready to move.
Argentina doesn't have much money right now, and it may not be able to get out the war reparations even if it kills them. The British Empire can only admit that it is unlucky. In fact, it can achieve its goal by making Argentina more peaceful, and they don't want to cause trouble.
When the war reaches this point, it is difficult for both sides to continue. Modern warfare is an extremely money-burning activity. In less than three months of combat, the UK has already consumed its entire military budget. It can be said that the British military may have a very difficult life in the second half of the year, and the same will be true for Argentina, or even more serious.
