Super military empire

Chapter 704: Nuclear Clouds Cover the Earth Again

Faced with such a result, faced with such a blow, the British cabinet headed by Margaret Thatcher, which was temporarily formed to deal with this war, lowered their heads deeply.

The Royal Navy lost not only one aircraft carrier and two destroyers, but also Prince Andrew.

More importantly, he lost the honor of the empire for hundreds of years.

Margaret Thatcher, who was hailed as the Iron Lady by the world politics, collapsed to the ground weakly after receiving this telegram!Prince Andrew is the third in line to the British throne!She and her cabinet members would never have imagined that the Invincible aircraft carrier, which had just been in service for less than two years, would sink under the protection of the most advanced destroyers and fighter groups!

How to explain to Queen Elizabeth II?

Now, the news is still blocked, and the queen has no idea that her son has been sacrificed.

The royal family will never know that the glory of the entire empire has sunk into the South Atlantic along with the Invincible aircraft carrier.

"This matter cannot be made public. Once it is made public, large-scale demonstrations will erupt without the public's knowledge..." The cabinet members were quickly called.

"It must be made public, otherwise we will be even more embarrassed. Before we can work out a countermeasure, we must stop all military operations in the South Atlantic. In particular, we must investigate clearly what weapons the Argentines used to destroy so many warships..."

The cabinet is very noisy about this matter.

The reputation of the British government collapsed in the face of this defeat in the war.

Since World War II, the glory of the empire that never sets has been receding. The once world's largest power has long been snatched away by the USSR.

Originally, the sun never set empire was the number one power in the world, and even countries such as the United States had to follow behind. Now, Britain has been maintaining its dignity, hoping not to become the younger brother following the American emperor.In such a short period of time after the Soviet Union had just shown its strength and showed its muscles, the sun never set empire hoped to be able to show the world in this war that the once world's largest power still has power that cannot be underestimated.

Weak Argentina tells the world that once the world's largest power, the Royal Navy, which once dominated the global oceans, has long been a shame!

"Enough!" As the prime minister, who still hopes to be re-elected in the upcoming general election, Thatcher did not fall before such difficulties.The iron lady was not called for nothing!"To announce the matter to the people of the whole country, all members of the cabinet apologize to the people of the whole country. Suspend all military operations in the South Atlantic and continue to maintain the blockade of the Malvinas Islands! Investigate the sources of weapons in Argentina, no matter where the anti-ship missiles come from, and do their best Sanctions...At the same time, we pay half-mast to the silent officers and soldiers of the Invincible aircraft carrier, Sheffield, and Almouth..."

"No, ma'am, if we do this, we don't have to wait until the general election, we will be ousted by the people tomorrow. This is a shame to the entire country!" The Conservative Party does not want to just step down."This matter must pass Congress! The war is authorized and approved by Congress, and it is also unanimously agreed by Congress..."

"If we don't announce it as soon as possible and don't make a response strategy, we will be even more embarrassed after foreign media reports!" Thatcher gritted his teeth.

As the leader of the Conservative Party, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, absolutely cannot fall at this time.

This is a crisis for the government, and it is also a crisis for the entire country.

"Moreover, our people have the right to know! Foreign media will not refuse to broadcast this news because of ours. Even if our allies do not, the Soviets will! Inform our allies that I hope to hold a meeting with them..." Sanctions will only be effective if the entire NATO joint action is required.

Moreover, just relying on the gang of stupid pigs in the British intelligence service will not work at all!

Soon, the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher held a live TV broadcast in her office. All the BBC and TV systems were at this moment.

"My fellow citizens, here, I want to tell you a very unfortunate news..." On the TV screen and on the radio station, this woman known as the Iron Lady, a woman supported by tens of millions of people in the UK, has an endless voice in her voice. Sadness.

"Three hours ago, the flagship of the Royal Navy Task Force, the Invincible aircraft carrier, the Sheffield, our most advanced destroyer in the British Empire, and the guided missile destroyer Almouth were sunk by the Argentine Naval Air Force..." The lady was already crying.

He choked for a few times, and after a long time, he continued to speak to the entire British people: "Rear Admiral Wuhuad, the third in line to the royal family, Prince Andrew, died together with the Invincible aircraft carrier..."

The British are crying!

This is the most humiliating thing the entire empire has encountered since World War II.

Several of the most advanced and largest warships were silent, and those who died with them were the third in line to the royal family.

Without the royal family, the British don’t know who they are loyal to...

"...After discussion, the cabinet members agreed to lower their flags at half-mast to mourn... In order to reduce casualties, through Congress authorization, we will completely stop military operations in the South Atlantic before investigating the details of the disaster... After a unanimous vote by Congress, a full sanctions against Argentina And the country that supports Argentina in launching war crimes against humanity... My fellow citizens, now is the most difficult time for our British Empire. The government needs you..."

The two-hour speech stopped all activities in the entire UK.

After the speech, large-scale demonstrations began to erupt across Britain.

The British people's parade is not against the government, nor is it asking the Thatcher government to step down, but asking the British government to continue the war, maintain the territorial integrity of the sunless empire, and safeguard the national dignity of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland...

The British intelligence service was fully mobilized.

Faced with the threat of the British government, the Argentine military government did not care at all.

Galtieri's reputation in Argentina has now reached its peak. The nationwide strikes that were originally one after another have completely dissipated after this victory, and the inflation that the government could not contain was suppressed in an instant.What's more, after the Argentine army occupied the Falklands, the two countries completely broke off diplomatic relations.

At this time, the United Nations simply cannot affect the two countries at war.

Moreover, before the war, the two countries had never negotiated accidentally.

The Chinese people began to vigorously support the government's war plan.

The two countries began to sharpen their swords and prepare for a larger war.

However, the distance between the two countries is too far away. The distance from Vidyavik to Maldives is 6,260 kilometers, and the distance to Argentina is close to 7,000 kilometers!

After losing the Invincible, the Royal Navy, which used to dominate the world by the Sun Resting Empire, only had two old aircraft carriers left. Once there were any problems, the British government would definitely not be able to afford it.

The Argentine army sank the latest British aircraft carrier and the most advanced guided-missile destroyer in the waters around the Falklands, causing an uproar in the entire world.

Especially the Soviet government, as if it felt that the world was not lively enough, Brezhnev publicly issued a statement supporting the just actions of the Galtieri government in Argentina to retake their own territory, and said that once the NATO alliance wants to intervene in the war, the Soviet Union will be The strongest backing in Argentina.

At the same time, all the Soviet republics, Cuba, North Korea and other countries expressed their support for Argentina's righteous actions against aggression and the colonial policy.He firmly supports Argentina and strongly condemns the shameless behavior of the British government.

The Soviet Union has always wanted to burn the raging fire of communism to South America. This is the back garden of the American emperor.After the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out, the Soviet forces were driven out, which made the Americans breathe a sigh of relief. Now the Soviet Union wants to intervene again. How can it be done?

Ever since, NATO began to support the United Kingdom and support the United Kingdom to remove Argentina from the earth...

The world became tense in an instant.

The Soviets just showed their strength and brightened their muscles. They have not yet made the world react. At this moment, the two camps have started to rub together again.

The most painful is the UN Secretary General Perez de Cuellar, who can't handle it now.

Continually rushing to appeal, asking the two camps to exercise restraint.

The declaration of the Soviet Union allowed the British to dispel the idea of ​​dropping mushroom bombs into Argentina.

The whole world is once again shrouded in the shadow of nuclear war.

China is most surprised by such a big event in the world.

Especially the senior Chinese military.

Because after the silence of the Invincible aircraft carrier, the China Precision Machinery Import and Export Trading Corporation received a telegram from President Galtieri, hoping that they would forward it to the Ninth People's Hospital and export one hundred 801 anti-ship missiles to Argentina.

Because of this telegram, the military leaders of the Republic knew that killing the Invincible aircraft carrier and Sheffield's missiles was the c801 anti-ship missile that China exported to Iran!

They didn't know how to get from the Iranians to Argentina.

Liu Yijiu was once again called to the capital by phone calls from military leaders in the middle of the night.

It is absolutely impossible for Liu Yijiu to not intervene in this matter.This kid has been paying attention to the situation in Argentina from the beginning, and Li Yunlong and Long Yaohua know best.

Knowing that the domestic missiles have such a powerful performance, the Republicans are happy while secretly worrying.

Happily, this war has told the world that the Chinese anti-ship missiles can overturn all British aircraft carriers.The worry is that Britain may join NATO allies to impose sanctions on China!

The situation that has finally been opened up and the results achieved in reform and opening up may be affected by the export of these missiles.
