Chapter 1569 Downplaying
The Falkland Islands Administrator, Rex Hunt, having been instructed by London, immediately released the Argentines who had trespassed on the islands and allowed the men to return to Argentina.
At the same time, through Foreign Secretary Carrington and the U.S. Secretary of State Hague to contact, conveyed the Caltri military government, the United Kingdom hopes to downplay the handling of this matter of mentality, “territorial disputes can be talked about, there is nothing that can not be talked about, the two countries should be a peaceful solution to the territorial disputes, the United Kingdom has always been on the Argentine junta to defend the position of the free world to be supported. ”
General Galtieri, who saw the landing on the Falklands as a nuisance, was relieved to meet the American ambassador and gratefully said, “Argentina is very grateful for the role of the United States in the defense of the rights of the Americas.”
“Of course!” The U.S. Ambassador to Argentina was a bit surprised, but the other party was full of gratitude, so he replied painfully, “It’s something the U.S. has always done.”
When Galtieri visited the United States, President Reagan was quite impressed with him and praised the Argentine military government for doing a good job in opposing the Soviet Union, and Reagan’s national security adviser, Richard, also considered Galtieri to be an “outstanding general,” which increased Galtieri’s prestige in Argentina.
A conversation between Reagan and Reagan, the Secretary of the Treasury and the President of the United States of America, was taking place in Washington, D.C. Reagan’s actions since coming to power were clear, and the problems were the same as those faced by Margaret Thatcher, which was not a good situation, with the only good news possibly being the official release of the hostages held by Iran.
President Reagan is preparing to travel to the Federal Republic of Germany to join the appointed special envoy, former President Jimmy Carter, to bring the Americans held back home.
“The rate hike is definitely going to take place, and this trip to Europe to work out an outcome with the British side.” The Secretary of the Treasury spoke up, “As for the Argentine issue, we’ll have to see what Britain thinks as well.”
President Reagan agreed, “If we raise interest rates, it will inevitably drain the liquidity of the dollar, and we’ll need someone to pick up the slack, and it’s very uncomfortable that the UK has maintained its resistance to the sterling area.”
Many problems, which Reagan didn’t feel were problems when he was governor, but felt were problems when he became president, the old European monetary cut-off consisting of Britain, France and Germany is still considered strong.
But now that the Soviet Union a Western eight-one thrown out, Reagan felt it was better to be kind to our European allies.
“Now we should pacify Argentina first, and the Secretary of State should show understanding for Argentina’s behavior while watching the British reaction.”
In Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, hundreds of thousands of patriots took to the streets as a way of supporting their heroes, who bravely boarded the island to raise Argentina’s Protect the Isle of Man organization.
The hero in the middle of the float, everywhere he passed was filled with flowers and applause, today all Argentines can talk, can be patriotic, through this act to pay tribute to the national heroes of their own mouths, the Argentine media is also filled with blind optimism, Buenos Aires newspapers and magazines are full of reports on the “heroic acts of the Argentine heroes “The British Foreign Office spoke of the incident.
The British Foreign Office is talking about downplaying the matter, a civil organization to attract attention to the move, while the British ambassador to Argentina once again reiterated that Britain and Argentina are allies of the United States, such an island for the two countries is in the tiny but the issue of the British have said that we can talk about it.
Argentina and the United States were currently in a honeymoon period, with Argentina being a key supporter of the United States in Latin America, and Argentina was also providing military advisers and camps to support the anti-Soviet forces in Nicaragua along with the CIA to make sure that the pro-Soviet government in Nicaragua was unable to gain a foothold.
Nothing happened for the next few days, it was as if this boarding had never happened, this was for other countries, Argentina as a country could not pretend it hadn’t happened. On the contrary the Argentine patriots tested out Britain’s bottom line, and this pressure of public opinion to which Britain would not react would be put on Galtieri.
The only thing that happened in Britain is that Alan Wilson went to attend the Albert’s promotion, although it is in line with the provisions of the normal promotion, Alan Wilson is still serious about the Ministry of Defense Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Defense Makins asked, “You will not be because I’m the Secretary General of the Cabinet, so to get out of the right, to know that the army as a collective is different from the other departments, you can not engage in these nepotistic relationships. ”
“There is absolutely no such thing, Colonel Albert’s promotion is completely in order and has nothing to do with the Cabinet Secretary.” Makins righteously assured that the army was an impartial place, how could it be influenced by the Cabinet Secretary? The civil service and the army are two systems.
But to say was it influenced by some retired, currently living, Field Marshal and important member of the Royal Family, that wasn’t impossible, but it definitely had nothing to do with Whitehall.
“Oh, that’s fine.” Alan Wilson’s face written all over business finally revealed a smile, “Since it’s Albert’s own ability, it can’t be intentionally suppressed just because I’m the Cabinet Secretary, in fact I’m very much against certain parents sacrificing their own children just for the sake of their own fame and glory, it’s not fair to the children either.”
Makins stood in awe, he absolutely believed that the supreme authority was speaking from his heart when he said this, this kind of selling fame and reputation crookedness through sacrifice and suppression in exchange for fame and reputation is to be absolutely banned.
The current and former presidents of the United States, will personally appear in Frankfurt, Germany, to pick up the released American hostages, while hoping that Margaret Thatcher will also make a trip to witness this moment.
Alan Wilson knows that there must be something else, there may be the Falkland Islands content, but he still suggested that Mrs. Thatcher to go to a trip, this kind of surface work should be from not stingy is right.
Alan Wilson also took out an American bestseller, Japan First: Implications for the United States as part of professional image management to make the American side look the other way.
With his promotion completed Allen Wilson went home with his good oldest son who was only a step away from being a General, and it was obvious that Albert was still very happy to be back, this time in addition to the promotion thing, there was also the matter of sending his wife Sofia back to live at Hawksin Manor.
“Time is such a silent thing.” Alan Wilson was very sentimental, “I didn’t realize that I was going to be a grandfather, and for a moment I wasn’t mentally prepared.”
In fact, the Supreme Authority wanted to say that according to age, it wasn’t Albert’s turn, except that he didn’t know the situation behind the Iron Curtain, and he didn’t know what was happening to Alexeyev right now.
“Prepare yourself well, don’t think the world is calm.” Alan Wilson instructed the good Dahl, should be on the British military power, probably seven heavy carrier battle groups, twenty-eight nuclear submarines, one hundred strategic bombers, more than two hundred strategic transport planes, five hundred Typhoon fighters, eight hundred Tiger helicopter gunships, and the basis of the Galileo navigation that is shared with France, and think about how to fight a war.
“Fight with who? I thought you said we couldn’t beat the Soviet Union, Father.” Colonel Albert paused at that, “Don’t tell me it’s going to be against Argentina?”
“With the Soviet Union I’d just say twelve hundred nukes.” Alan Wilson nuzzled, “So it’s definitely not with the USSR, we’re actually on pretty good terms with the USSR.”
Alan Wilson firmly want to go to Frankfurt with Margaret Thatcher, the reason is that he is really afraid of Margaret Thatcher a performance of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, to agree to the United States should not be agreed to the requirements of the last time, the last time directly almost sold the Kingdom of Iraq, the reason why it is a little bit worse, because the King of Iraq is also persuaded by the United States, so is a little bit worse.
On this point, the female Prime Minister is not to be trusted, and at the moment the British economy is stable, and this stability means that the number of unemployed people does not continue to rise, and the fact that it doesn’t is good news.
Appearing at the U.S. military base in Frankfurt, in addition to Reagan and the eponymous Secretary of the Treasury, there was also former President Jimmy Carter, who came as a special envoy this time with Reagan. Carter that was really simply coming over to pick up the hostages and bring them home, but everyone else had another agenda.
Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan asked Alan Wilson, “What exactly is the British view on the territorial dispute with Argentina.”
“Open-minded for the moment.” Alan Wilson, holding the American bestseller Japan First: Implications for the United States, replied with a smile, “The problem is the economy, and I’m sure the Secretary of the Treasury agrees with that, and it’s a common problem facing you and me, you and us, the United States and the United Kingdom. This problem is always going to be solved. The United Kingdom has some experience, for example, in raising interest rates, and the United States is in a better position than the United Kingdom to do so, and I believe that good results can be achieved.”
“The question of raising interest rates is one on which we agree.” Donald Reagan stared at the bestseller in the other’s hands and mused, “Simply raising interest rates may not be enough, there are some tie-ins that are more effective.”
The two men conversed like a mute riddle, and eventually Alan Wilson took the initiative to open his mouth and asked what the attitude of the United States was regarding the dispute between Britain and Argentina.
Donald Reagan answered directly, blood is thicker than water, the special relationship between Britain and the United States, but still hope for a peaceful solution.
“In fact, if the two countries are fighting, for the interest rate hike to recover the dollar is favorable, right.” Alan Wilson lowered his voice, “but what is good for me? The United States can help Britain to solve the economic problems? Can you exempt the share of automobile imports, to know that the war is very scary, before the fight are feeling confident, the fight is not so much.”
“Honorable Sir, Britain and the United States are one and the same, the United States will also provide some conditions to win.” Donald Reagan sighed in his heart, fortunately in the United Kingdom there is still a special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States for many years spokesman, can provide cover for the United States of America’s interest rate hike, “the responsibility for starting the war, certainly can not fall on the head of the United Kingdom, as for the other issues, the Mountbatten Group has always been a friend of Wall Street.”
