The British House of Commons held a closed-door meeting in London

According to the British political system, Parliament meets behind closed doors at the request of the Prime Minister only when the highest interests of the state and state secrets are at stake. Prior to this, the last closed-door meeting was held many years ago, on the eve of Britain's involvement in the Iraq war.

At this time, the reporters waiting at the door of the House of Commons were annoyed.

What's even more irritating is that this wait is a whole day.

It wasn't until the mouth was pointed that the doors of the House of Commons opened again.

By the time the reporters swarmed up, George had already left the House of Commons under the escort of the guards and was on his way to Buckingham Palace.

About half an hour later, a spokesman for the British royal family revealed the news of meeting the king.

Hearing the news, the reporter immediately moved to the battlefield and surrounded Buckingham Palace.

In fact, by this time, many reporters had already seen the clues.

The war has broken out, and there is no reason to waste precious time. If the situation is similar to that of the Blade years ago, that Britain is determined to defend the Falkland Islands by military action, then George should have made a war resolution in the House of Commons, and let the whole world know in an open way that Britain was determined to win; According to the British system, to think of foreign military action, it must be approved by the king, because the royal power has long been hollowed out, so the former minister only needs to go to Buckingham Palace to go through the motions; After the legal formalities and procedures are completed, the war mobilization order will be issued and a series of personnel appointments will be made. In contrast, the resolution process is markedly different; The House of Commons holds a closed-door session, indicating that there is dissent or some uncertainty about the taking of military action; George went to Buckingham Palace without announcing the news, not primarily to complete the formalities, but to quietly buy enough time for decision-making at the top.

From the standpoint of the British government, it is clear that as long as George appears in front of reporters, he has to come up with a final decision.

To fight, or not to fight?

The old point is broken, and George leaves Buckingham Palace.

When passing through the "front line" formed by reporters, George did not confide a word in front of reporters, only his secretary mentioned when he broke the siege that the prime minister would hold a press conference after the thugs.

For a day's wait, Old Downing Street became the next destination.

In fact, some have "vision." The reporter shrugged outside the prime minister's residence.

With the definite news, the major news media immediately adjusted the arrangements for the festival.

The news venue was opened, and the reporters entered the venue in an orderly manner after several strict security checks.

Old minutes later, George appeared in front of reporters and on the television screens of various homes.

At the end of the declaration, which lasted less than a minute, the British Minister did not mention the word "declaration of war", but repeatedly stressed that the United Kingdom of Great Britain would take all necessary means, including military action, to recover the Falkland Islands, to sever diplomatic relations with Argentina with immediate effect, to recall diplomatic personnel in Argentina, and to expel Argentine diplomats and repatriate Argentine nationals in Britain.

George's declaration was more or less unexpected.

Although on the morning of the same day, as soon as the news of the war broke out, some news media predicted that Britain would never declare war on Argentina, but all the news media believed that George would not be worse than Margaret Thatcher back then, and would definitely adopt an extremely tough stance and attitude to announce the dispatch of troops to the Falklands as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that George's performance disappointed the news media.

The British minister's attitude was not tough, and he did not even directly mention the matter of sending troops. Although the British Ministry of Defense subsequently announced military mobilization, the formation of a task force, the formation of an assault force, the deployment of combat aircraft to Ascension Island, the dispatch of submarines to the waters off the Falklands, and other measures, in the eyes of all news media, the British Ministry of Defense's measures are "pragmatic actions." "And not the basic policy of the United Kingdom. Accordingly, the major news media mentioned in their reports that the mild performance of the British minister would have a great impact on the combat operation to recover the Falkland Islands.

Is that really the case?

April was certainly the longest day for George.

Before arriving in the House of Commons, the latest news from the Ministry of Defence forced him to change the arrangement. The Shovel "Fast" class attack submarines, which arrived in the waters of the Falkland Islands ahead of schedule, have engaged the Argentine Navy and sank the Argentine Navy's electric submarine during the battle. What's more, it was not only the submarines of the warring sides that appeared in the warring waters, but also several unidentified submarines. Because the silence of the other side is excellent, it can only be concluded that they are several very advanced submarines. The Department of Defense has contacted the Pentagon, and the US Navy does not send submarines to the warring waters. That is, it is quite possible that those submarines that appeared in the warring waters came from the republics.

It was for this reason that George urgently contacted the Speaker of the House of Commons and the leaders of the various parties to request a closed-door meeting.

The main topic of discussion in the closed-door meeting was not whether or not to send troops to the Falklands, because on the issue of sending troops, the Cabinet and the Parliament were completely in agreement, and the key was how to send troops. Although Parliament had reservations about the declaration of war, it insisted that Britain should be taken in a strong manner to express its position and determination. George's view is completely opposite, in his view, the current international situation is very different from what it was more than half a century ago, and this conflict is completely different from the war more than half a century ago, and Britain's six:two is to recover the Falklands. We should not allow things that do not exist to be an obstacle to the ultimate goal.

The argument lasted several hours and finally ended in a mutual compromise.

George promised to send troops and promised to recover the Falklands, and the Parliament accepted the Prime Minister's request without overly ostentatious British positions.

Instead of announcing the news immediately, he immediately went to Buckingham Palace, not because he needed to buy time to resolve the internal conflicts, but because George had to ventilate with Brancheon on the other side of the ocean.

Before returning to Old Downing Street, George had two hotline calls with Brandino.

As for the United States, Britain has only one luxury, and that is not to drag Britain back.

I have to say that George is very self-aware, or knows Brandino very well.

After the Falklands dispute heated up, the United States has been secretive and has never made a stand clear, which makes George have to believe that more than half a century has passed, and the United States still has not changed much in its "Latin American policy," and as long as it involves Latin American countries, the United States will hesitate. Regardless of whether George admits it or not. He had to accept the fact that the United States would not openly support Britain in the Falklands conflict as long as the Republic did not intervene with troops.

After figuring out the situation, George no longer had a grudge against the United States.

Of course, George did not ignore the influence of the United States. To put it bluntly, it is more important for Britain to stabilize the United States than to stabilize the republic.

From George's standpoint, he has enough reason to believe that Wang Yuanqing will not do stupid things.

Argentina is not Pakistan, and the South Atlantic is not the Indian subcontinent.

Although the Republic has the most powerful army in the world and an air force comparable to that of the United States, even the Republicans admit that the Republic Navy, which is nominally the second largest in the world, is far behind the U.S. Navy. In terms of size, the Navy of the Republic is only half the size of the US Navy. In terms of independent combat capability, the Republic Navy has just entered the ranks of the "global navy", and the US Navy was a veritable global navy long before the four.

The Republic could only intervene in the South Atlantic by relying on the Navy.

Without a strong enough navy, the republic would have to stay honestly in the western Pacific and the northern Indian Ocean.

It can be seen from this that even if Argentina is defeated again, as long as Britain does not send troops to invade Argentina itself, the Republic will not intervene in the Falklands dispute.

As long as the Republic did not intervene in the Falklands dispute, Britain could defeat Argentina even if it sent a few submarines over.

That is, George was confident enough in a military victory.

Confident of winning the war, Britain certainly hoped that the United States would continue to adopt an ambiguous attitude to counteract the influence of the Republic and stabilize Latin American countries.

In George's view, the United States has the most uncertain factor.

Fortunately, Brandino was a very shrewd politician, and he had already guessed what the British prime minister thought, and adopted a policy that was in the interests of both the United States and the United Kingdom, and did not cause trouble for George.

Back at the Prime Minister's residence, George began to work on the relevant deployments.

Of course, for Blandino, who was far away on the other side of the Atlantic, Britain adopted "more restraint." is also more in line with the needs of the United States.

When the war broke out, Blandino was sleeping.

When he was woken up from his bed by his secretary, the president of the United States was not surprised, because Uranium and other intelligence agencies had long warned that the war would break out before the end of April.

In the hours that followed, Blandino received a lot of messages that gave him a clearer picture of the situation.

Relying on a powerful military reconnaissance satellite system, Blandino knew much more than George, and soon after the outbreak of the war, Blandino received a definite report that dozens of tiles were transporting the assault force, and that the tilt-rotor planes did not immediately return to Argentina, but remained in Port Stanley. In addition, while the British Prime Minister was debating with members of the House of Commons about what position to take, Brandino had already mastered the Argentine method of transporting troops to the Falklands, and knew that the Argentine army's airlift capacity was very limited.

During the phone call with George, Brandino did not forget to mention such crucial information.

I have to say that Blandino played this trick very smartly.

Telling the British Minister the information that Argentina was unable to provide sufficient combat supplies to the landing force by air would certainly make the British Minister determined to take immediate action to blockade the Falklands and ambush the transport ships of the Argentine army with submarines already deployed to the theater of operations before the task force could be dispatched. While Blandino had done Britain a great favor by doing so, it was fundamentally serving American interests, because the sooner Britain won a decisive victory, the more it would be able to force the Republic to make concessions and prevent the conflict from turning into war. In other words, if the Argentine army could be defeated before the arrival of the task force, the Republic would certainly not continue to risk supporting the Argentine military operation, but would intercede as a mediator. Because Britain had the initiative, Argentina could not take any advantage in the armistice negotiations. As long as Argentina is forced to accept a fait accompli, the conflict can end without much damage to the United States. In the long run, this conflict will certainly change Argentina's foreign policy, making Argentina disillusioned with the Republic and thus turning to the United States. As long as the United States convinces Britain not to excessively harm Argentina's interests during the armistice talks, Argentina will be able to change its mind and get rid of the unstable factors in its backyard. Of course, this is the most desirable outcome. With Blandino's political consciousness

It follows that Brandino still pursues an ambiguous policy.

Of course, the war has broken out, and the US government cannot continue to remain silent.

On the morning of the month, the White House press spokesman and the State Department press spokesman declared at a press briefing that any issue involving the interests of a country in the Americas is a problem of the United States, and the United States will never allow any force to interfere in the affairs of the Americas, let alone anything that harms the interests of the Americas. With regard to the Anglo-Argentine dispute over the islands, the United States still adheres to its consistent position and urges both sides to immediately stop military operations and resolve the dispute through peaceful negotiations. The United States is willing to provide the parties with a venue for negotiations and all necessary facilities for negotiations; The U.S. government has also called on peace-loving people around the world to resist war and call on both sides to stop military operations.

Because the whole world was watching the actions of Britain at that time, the "American Declaration" did not attract attention.

After Britain's "declaration of war," the White House reacted as quickly as possible. Once again, he expressed a euphemistic statement, that is, the United States deeply regrets the war decision made by the British Government, but the United States respects the decision made by Britain to safeguard its sovereignty and interests, and only hopes that the British authorities will treat the war more rationally, consider the root causes of the Falklands dispute more objectively, and resolve the Falklands dispute in a more effective and reasonable way.

In addition to proving the existence of the United States, the successive statements of the United States are also conveying a certain kind of forbearance to the Republic

Of course, for the republics on the other side of the world, the "sudden" start of the Falklands War also surprised the fierce people, but a more important thing quickly attracted the attention of the whole country.

After the new election law came into effect, Wang Yuanqing, who was still the head of the republic, finally came up with a timetable for the "constitutional amendment movement" after the real session of the plenary congress in the afternoon of Litian, that is, the specific content of the "constitutional amendment" was deliberated from the day of the Ming Da hand, and the plenary congress decided whether to hold a referendum before the day of the month, and if it received support, it would be on June, when the new election law came into effect, Jiao Weishan, assistant to the Yuanxi, revealed to the press when he accompanied Yuan to the plenary congress, Yuan is in the process of revising the specific content of the "constitutional amendment" and will definitely come up with a specific timetable before the end of the month.

It can be seen that under the influence of the Falklands War, the "constitutional revision movement" of the republic. Mentioned.

This also proves Pei Chengyi's judgment from one side, that is, Wang Yuanqing intends to use the Falklands War to divert the attention of Western countries, promote political reform without external interference, determine a new political system by amending the constitution, and achieve a phased victory in political reform.

Because the Falklands War broke out ahead of schedule, Wang Yuanqing launched the final offensive of political reform in advance.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to judge the attitude of the republic.

On the afternoon of the Falklands afternoon, Beijing time, just a few hours after the Falklands War broke out, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China made a statement expressing the hope that the two sides would take a more rational attitude toward the issues left over from history, end the meaningless military action as soon as possible, and settle the dispute through negotiations.

Although this statement is not long, and it is all official discourse, and does not express the position of the republic, the republic's first reaction can tell a lot.

Some British news media believe that the tepid "declaration of war" was influenced by the Republic. Although this comment does not mean to belittle the British minister, nor does it mean to criticize the British government, because in the eyes of the British media, the Republic is the culprit in the Falklands conflict, and the British government should not take a stand when the attitude of the Republic is not clear.

The situation has reached this point, which can only show that all parties have no bottom in their hearts.

For Pei Chengyi, who is in the game, the situation is not much better.

After talking with Hua Jianfeng, Pei Chengyi contacted Li Cunxun. Only then did he know that the Military Intelligence Agency had not only expected that the Argentine authorities would not take the military advisory group seriously, but had also taken relevant action long ago. To be precise, letting Hua Jianfeng come over with 3 submarines is a special arrangement of the Military Intelligence Bureau. According to Li Cunxun's deployment, Pei Chengyi must first stabilize his breath and not compromise easily, the battle situation will soon change, as long as the Argentine authorities take the initiative to ask for help, Hua Jianfeng will propose to set up a joint command. At this time, Hua Jianfeng will take proactive action, and as Argentina's top military adviser, Pei Chengyi should accept it when he sees it.

There is no need for Li Cunxun to say more, Pei Chengyi understands that it is nothing more than a black face and a red face.

It's just that Pei Chengyi was a little surprised that Li Cunxun did not command by remote control, but sent Liu Xiaobin over again, and let Liu Xiaobin be fully responsible for the affairs here. Although Li Cunxun did not say it too clearly, according to Pei Chengyi's understanding, Liu Xiaobin will not listen to his command, and he does not need to listen to Liu Xiaobin's command, both of them are the highest responsible persons, one is responsible for intelligence work, and the other is responsible for operational command, cooperating with each other and not interfering with each other.

With Li Cunxun's arrangement, Pei Chengyi is much more relieved.

You can doubt anyone's wrists, but don't doubt the means of the MIA!
