Chapter 485: Plot Blood
Moreover, the war in Afghanistan was fought too unexpectedly.
Originally, there was no movement in Afghanistan, although it was a bit unexpected to say that Amin came to power, but Afghanistan, a landlocked country, had no impact on the Soviet Union, and in comparison, Hokkaido was the most important.
However, what does it mean that Afghanistan actually took the initiative to attack and dared to cause an explosion in the Soviet embassy?
Naturally, there are people who want to provoke a war in Afghanistan! The Soviet embassy was bombed, was it all done by that Amin? Does he really have that much guts?
I don't know why, Andre always feels a little uneasy, this matter is too coincidental, any coincidence is a conspiracy.
What does it mean that we were going to do a big job in Hokkaido, but we were dragged into the quagmire of Afghanistan?
Someone must have intervened, and someone even knew about the influence of Afghanistan on the USSR and deliberately dragged the USSR in.
For some reason, Andre suddenly remembered Nathan.
This man is amazing.
The hostage incident in BS country ended in tragedy in history, and the Americans greatly lost face, and even led to the ouster of President Carter.
But now, this matter has been resolved by Nathan, who actually used Vietnam veterans to successfully rescue the hostages without making any mistakes in history.
Thinking of the things related to Nathan one by one, I can simply come to an astonishing conclusion, this Nathan is like a traverser!
It's really strange that this time and space are also very different from history.
Andrei let out a long breath that his arrival was to change the fate of the collapse of the Soviet Union in history, and he was to take the Soviet Union to occupy the whole world.
What does it mean if there is another traverser?
This plot is too bloody, right?
Andrei shook his head, no matter what comes, as long as he comes, he will reverse history!
Do your best.
Andrei left the KGB and first returned to his home, where he had not seen his lover for a long time.
Catherine, the lover who came into this world by herself.
At the same time that AndrΓ© returned home, on the other side of the world, Major General Woodward also hurried back to London.
"Let's go, you're back just in time." When he returned, he saw Admiral John Federhouse saying to him: "The Prime Minister is waiting for our debriefing." β
For the United States, it is still a time of speechlessness, because Carter is still president, but for the United States, it is much better, because Margaret Thatcher has come to power.
After she came to power, she began to carry out drastic reforms, she privatized a large number of enterprises, so that the government's finances were quickly improved, she was a very stubborn person, and she was also a very strong woman.
In times like these, such leaders are needed.
"Report what?" Maj. Gen. Woodward asked.
"Report on the strength of our navy." Admiral John Federhouse said: "You have just returned, and probably do not know that on our island of South Georgia, Argentine troops have already appeared. β
The Royal Navy's icebreaker USS Perseverance accepted the mission and immediately set sail for South Georgia to expel the Argentine merchants who had trodden the island.
Supposedly, this is a very simple mission, and although the Endurance is only an icebreaker, it is still armed, with two 20mm Erlikon cannons and two Wasp helicopters.
It took a platoon of marines to drive away the Argentines who were raising the national flag and singing the national anthem and dismantle the camp, but when they arrived, they found that the Argentine Navy's 5,000-ton "Joy Bay" had already dropped 100 soldiers to land, and the Perseverance had to turn back.
Now, the matter is completely serious.
If it was just the merchants, it was a civil society incident, but now, the Argentine army actually went up and landed on British territory, what does it mean?
At a time when the situation in Europe is complicating, the Argentines are really ready to move.
The two walked into the Prime Minister's Office and met Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with a serious face.
Margaret Hilda Thatcher, British right-wing politician and 49th British Prime Minister, took office in 1979, she was the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the longest-serving British Prime Minister since the Earl of Liverpool in the early 19th century. Known as "Thatcherism", her political philosophy and policy ideas changed the economic, social and cultural landscape of Britain both deeply and widely. She was nicknamed the "Iron Lady" by the Soviet press for her high-profile opposition to communism before and after becoming prime minister, and this nickname has even become her main symbol.
Now, not long after she took office, she is already facing a serious test.
"Woodward, you went to the United States this time and met Nathan?" When Margaret Thatcher saw Woodward coming, she asked him such an irrelevant question first.
Woodward nodded: "Yes, Prime Minister, we have been talking for a long time. β
Mrs. Thatcher did not say anything about the construction of the Navy, did not say about the imminent threat, but was so concerned about Nathan: "What are you talking about? Did you talk about our Falkland Islands? β
Mrs. Thatcher still remembers the scene at the palace dinner, how Nathan criticized the previous prime minister, and many of Nathan's views coincided with her own.
She believes that Nathan is a visionary and values Nathan's point of view.
"He said that the current conflict in our Falkland Islands is likely to deteriorate into war, and if we don't do it, we may lose the Falkland Islands forever, and if we do it, we will go on an expedition."
After a pause, Rear Admiral Woodward said: "He also said that if the war really starts, he is willing to accept my invitation to come to our Royal Navy as an instructor. β
"Great, how can he be an instructor? How about making him a Flying Wing Commander? Margaret Thatcher said, "As long as he is there, we will win!" β
The sortie of the fleet was not so easy, and the Argentines could well land on the Falkland Islands at once, leaving them little time. At present, the Ministry of War is carrying out emergency plans to increase the number of troops to the Falkland Islands, with the problem that aircraft can only transport personnel and light weapons, and heavy weapons still have to be transported by sea.
After all, it was too far away from the British, and if the Argentines did it in the next few days, they would have to watch the Argentines snatch the Falkland Islands, and they would need to snatch them back.
At this time, Margaret Thatcher did not care about her subordinates, but cared more about an American pilot.
