Chapter 1553 President Reagan

Allen Wilson has been running to the Department of Defense diligently the past few days, and has asked Makins to bring out a plan for a full-scale war with Argentina, which surprised Makins, “Argentina and Britain are on good terms.”

“Not bad is good, to a variety of different countries to list a war plan, originally is the Ministry of Defense’s share of the work.” Alan Wilson replied gently, “Failing to do that, doesn’t that show that the British Ministry of Defense is lacking in professionalism?”

The reasoning was such a truth, while Makins was thinking so, Allen Wilson then added, “Of course, there is no need for Minister Francis to know about this, he is more suited to visit allies and talk about military trade, for example, improving the Brigade-level air defense system, which is quite suitable for him.”

That is, in the first half of the year, the British Secretary of Defense Francis Pym visited China, focusing on military trade cooperation, the big head is the Chinese guided missile destroyer will be fully modernized, retrofitted with British “Javelin” medium-range air defense missile system.

Allen Wilson is not so forgetful, the Soviet Navy’s construction of the idea of the first heavy anti-ship, the Soviet Union’s allies in the anti-ship Navy are loud and clear, even the Soviet Union Red Navy is so, but in other areas? Let’s just say that those who know what they’re talking about know what they’re talking about.

Who let the Soviet Red Navy in the Soviet combat system, is used for the same thing it, heavy damage to the enemy’s navy after the use of the Soviet Union in the world’s premier ground armed, sweeping the Eurasian continent.

If you compare Argentina and a big country, the current modernization of the Argentine Navy, than the People’s Navy is still a little more advanced, but the fight is definitely the Argentine Navy was swallowed alive.

After all, a big country in the cold war period of hundreds of submarines is not a setup, normal surface fleet on the underwater fleet must occupy the advantage, but also have to be divided into what kind of surface fleet, the Royal Navy facing the Third Reich Navy that is to occupy the advantage, so that the Royal Navy with ten destroyers to face the German wolves, the wolves will only be the Royal Navy torn to shreds.

In the number of this level, the Argentine Navy is still too far from the People’s Navy, this is not a little more advanced weapons can open the gap.

“What are the objectives of the battle plan?” Makins, unaware that Alan Wilson was comparing the differences between the hypothetical enemies, inquired as to what the objective of the operational plan was going to be.

“Just? Let’s aim for the capture of Buenos Aires.” Allen Wilson was a little unsure for a moment in the face of this question, but immediately answered with a shake of his teeth, “What about play? To capture the enemy’s capital, of course; the Argentine capital is a coastal city, and if we go to war we’ll have to fight it down.”

Ignoring Makins’ dumbfounded expression, Alan Wilson left with his hands in his pants pockets, comparing whether Argentina is a suitable opponent, simply put, Argentina is not in the middle of Britain’s comfort zone, Argentina and the United Kingdom on the surface of the impression left by other people is about the same, the strength of the navy and the air force can be, the land forces pulled down a little.

But Britain is not actually the country where people have the impression that the army is dragging its feet, Britain in Europe is the role of the direct face of the Warsaw Pact ground forces, taking on the important task of defense.

Army Group Laing was a heavily armored corps. The US Army in Germany was just the flank of the Warsaw Pact, not to mention the French Army, which stayed in the big rear.

It would be an absolute mistake to think of the British Army as a punching bag, and Allen Wilson even felt that if he wanted to fight well, he had to build a battle plan with the British Army as the centerpiece of the attack.

“Can it be fought with the effect of the Gulf War?” Allen Wilson inside his office than than chatter, he definitely want to fight the war as to be long face, rather than miles to lose face.

History of the war on the island of Ma, the impression is not like the Chinese Internet said disgrace, in fact, after the defeat of Argentina, Britain does have quite a card, after all, Britain is the victor, Argentina, a defeated country, do not mention the kind of modifiers despite the defeat, but the British win is not beautiful is also true.

Alan Wilson hope is to appear the Gulf War kind of, technology shocked four performance, certainly can not accept the outcome of the war on the island of Man like that. The Rheinland Group in Germany must be pulled up if necessary.

In the British Foreign Secretary visited Argentina at the time, Alan Wilson secretly began to collect Argentine military intelligence, MI6 received orders to be within a year to figure out the Argentine army’s intelligence, to assess the military strength of Argentina.

On this day, the Foreign Secretary is Peter Alexander Carrington in the Argentine capital, formally put forward to the military government of the British side of the proposal, the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands can be vested in Argentina, but should be leased to the United Kingdom free of charge, in the appropriate time the United Kingdom will be handed over to the Argentine sovereignty, but the Argentine side of the confidentiality of this proposal to him.

This delighted the generals of the junta, who pressed the question whether the British government really thought so.

Carrington, for his part, replied that the U.S. wanted this to happen as well, that Britain had long since run out of interests in the Americas, and was in a position to withdraw gracefully from the affairs of the Americas in the light of its relations with the U.S., which it should have done a long time ago.

Handing over the entire Atlantic Ocean to an ally is the pursuit of the United Kingdom, so that Britain can concentrate on the Asian problem, and Carrington also lost no time to propose to carry out disarmament, the size of the Royal Navy to be reduced, the current heavy military burden, and the government wants to economize on the policy of the incompatibility of expenditure.

Carrington this visit, can be called a milestone in recent years of Anglo-Argentine relations, just do not know a few years later, Carrington’s name in Argentina will be a reputation.

But you can’t say that the Foreign Secretary is lying, because even Carrington himself, believes that this is what the British government means, and that’s what Margaret Thatcher instructed him to do.

In parting, Carrington also said that the Argentine junta was an important force in containing pro-Soviet forces in the Americas and that Britain had a high opinion of the Argentine army, among other things.

“This is the battle plan drawn up by the Ministry of Defense?” Alan Wilson held up the battle plan with ink still wet, his face all over whether or not the Ministry of Defense was on a dry run, and then fleshed out his earlier suggestion a bit, “I would like to see a battle plan built around low casualty standards. The battle plan is a little more imaginative.”

Leaving Makins to fight his way home, Alan Wilson then sought a meeting with the heads of MI6 to discuss specific roles regarding Argentine democrats, a model of military government that was not pleasant to listen to, and had always had a very wide range of detractors, and even if the military governments of Latin America, as represented by Argentina, were considered to be professionals in this area, they could not ignore the existence of such detractors.

This kind of democrats would be perfect as volunteers for the defense of the Isle of Man, and only by making good use of this kind of opposition can the Argentine military government make illogical decisions, and the military government is not only found in Argentina, but also in South Korea.

“We have been advising President Carter to overthrow the Chun Doo-hwan government, but in the end it didn’t work out, so I hope this year is another good news.”

After the Gwangju incident, Allen Wilson clearly suggested that Chun Doo-hwan should be pulled out of power, and first set the example by getting the colonial government of Malaya to initiate sanctions against South Korea, pulling in Burma and Thailand, Bangladesh, and the Republic of Kalimantan to follow suit.

While Britain is still a colonial empire so far and has no reason to do so, the world is such that Britain can do so and Korea cannot.

Alan Wilson has always been concerned about Japan and Korea in East Asia, and currently Japan is still a very strong rival with its huge population, at least relative to the huge population of Malaya.

But the speed of development of South Korea, is certainly affected, on the one hand, the United States has not yet pinched Japan’s neck, open market for South Korea to counterbalance Japan, on the other hand, South Korea’s early accumulation, such as going to the Middle East to get the first bucket of gold of the road are blocked for him.

At this time, South Korea’s situation is much worse than the same period in history, Allen Wilson is not to do anything about South Korea, just now the United Kingdom is also difficult, want to reasonably and legally exclude South Korea as a fledgling national industrial products, you must pay close attention to the incident of Gwangju in order to occupy the moral high ground on South Korea to impose sanctions.

The effect is also very significant, in the previous EC meeting, Mrs. Thatcher advocated the reduction of the British contribution to the issue was treated as air, but the proposal to sanction South Korea, not to allow South Korean industrial products into the EC countries, or successfully passed.

In this way the UK still made things a foregone conclusion before the US election started, otherwise the Gwangju incident would not have mattered when Reagan, a president who did not care about morality or not, came to power. In wanting to protect the market on the European side, there was a lack of excuses.

Now that the resolution on sanctions has been tabled, trying to withdraw it would require the EC to study it first for a couple of years.

Putting the task of contacting the Argentine opposition down, Allen Wilson came home from work and watched the soap opera at Monroe’s place, where Monroe complimented herself, “I used to be more womanly than the heroine in this, but then again, it seems like you never watch my movies.”

“I don’t watch Vivian’s movies either, what’s there to watch, it’s not like I’m the leading man.” Alan Wilson bristled, “Watching you guys fall in love on screen makes me sick.”

“It has to be you in the male lead right.” Monroe pursed her lips and smiled softly, winking at the man, “Why don’t you bring out the private collection and see how strong and fit you were ten years ago.”

“Knowingly.” Alan Wilson had a heartfelt tone, ready to enjoy the private collection edition that would be enough to get him killed.

It was also the date of the U.S. election, and a listless Alan Wilson went to work, bracing himself to show up at Ten Downing Street and listen to the news that Reagan was the new President of the United States.

“It seems Sir has known for some time.” Mrs. Thatcher said as she took one look at the Cabinet Secretary’s lack of interest.

“Known about what? Oh!” Alan Wilson replied listlessly, “Of course, Ronald is a friend of mine and we have kept in touch. On a personal note I want to congratulate him.”
