Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

In 2000, a British scientific investigation team provided information showing that the Falklands had [-] billion barrels of oil reserves and a large amount of oil and natural gas, which was higher than the North Sea oil field, the largest oil and gas field in Europe.

There is a saying, 'there are many people who are popular right and wrong'.

In fact, the land is the same.

Especially after the first oil crisis, the price of oil in the world has risen, and the shepherds in the Middle East have taken advantage of it to make a show of it. 2000 billion barrels of oil reserves are stored at their doorstep. If this place is British, it’s fine. , but Ma Dao used to belong to his own family, but was snatched away later.

Tell me, can the Argentine people be happy?

If a politician is in power, in order to take into account the overall situation, it is fine to bear it.

No matter how the world changes, it is always right. Compromise is one of the necessary skills for politicians, and all politicians are good at it.

Although Britain is not as good as it used to be, it is no longer the empire where the sun never sets, showing off its power everywhere, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how weak the people are, the ancestors are richer at least, and it is still strong in the international arena.

One of the five permanent members of the United Nations, holding high-end and high-end nuclear weapons, it is not easy for ordinary people to pout their ass.

Compromise is a necessary skill for politicians, but it is definitely not a necessary skill for soldiers.

The Argentine military government thought it had occupied the Falklands, and Britain was so far away that it was impossible to fight in the ocean.

Of course, it’s okay even if you come. There is a war at our doorstep, and Britain is so far away, so I’m afraid of being hammered.

Argentina is cheering for the recapture of the Falklands from top to bottom, and the atmosphere is unprecedentedly high. The domestic stock market plummeted just the opposite of the British stock market. After occupying the Falklands, Argentine stocks rose across the board, especially the energy sector, which could not be stopped .

After the oil crisis, oil and natural gas are synonymous with the US dollar. With 2000 billion barrels of oil, a debt crisis is not a problem at all.

Now all eyes in Argentina are focused on the Falklands and the UK. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to make a big fortune, lightning strikes will be light.

Of course, this kind of big fishing must not be done too much, let alone be too eye-catching, it must be covered by financial giants.

For this reason, Yang Chen deliberately found two American banks, Citigroup and Hong Kong. It's not like he didn't think about doing one thing without doing two things, and directly looking for the British bank that he has cooperation with.

However, thinking of how tricky the Argentine military government is, they gave up the idea of ​​cooperating with British banks and turned to cooperating with Citigroup and Hong Kong, two awesome American banks.

Regarding the cooperation with Yang Chen, the two banks have nothing to hesitate. Goldman Sachs is busy doing listing work for Yang Chen's game company.

Others don't know how much money Yang Chen's game company makes. It's impossible for financial giants like Citigroup and Hong Kong to not know.

Therefore, they were not surprised at all that Yang Chen was not optimistic about Argentina and was about to suck a tube of blood from the other party.

Not only did they cooperate, but they also went into battle in person, preparing to cut Argentina directly. No one can stop Uncle Sam from being a hooligan.

Arrangements were made on both sides, and Yang Chen was happy to be at leisure. After dealing with the affairs in Australia, he returned to Xiangjiang and pretended to be dead.

Different from the procrastination and nonsense in the past, after hearing that the Falkland Islands were occupied by Argentina, the United Kingdom unexpectedly united for a while.

Not only did they immediately declare war on Argentina, but they also responded immediately by gathering warships from all over the country to form an ocean-going fleet and heading directly towards the Falklands.

Faster than ever.

Throughout April and May, the international dispute over the Falkland Islands was divided into three types of attitudes, one was that European and American countries supported the United Kingdom, the other was that the third world supported Argentina, and the other was not expressing their stance, just watching with cold eyes and being a melon-eating spectator .

The first two types of countries support the countries they identify with in different ways. Those who stand on the side of Argentina are naturally South American countries, and European and American countries basically stand on the side of the United Kingdom.

For the United States, a Falkland Island is not worthy of its concern at all. The strategic focus of the United States is to contain the development of the Soviet Union, and European countries are the most important allies to contain the Soviet Union.

Therefore, the United States has always stood with the United Kingdom.

At the end of May, seeing that it was impossible for Britain and Afghanistan to stop the war, the United States suspended all exports of military materials to Argentina, prohibited the issuance of military sales licenses to Argentina, and suspended the commercial credit company from providing guarantees to Argentina.

At the same time, the strategic partner of the United States, France, also deliberately delayed the delivery of military weapons to Argentina. The attitude of the two powerful countries, the United States and France, surprised and indignated Argentina.

Losing the support of the United States and France, and the polar bears opposing the United States are too far away to give support, so the whole battle is no different from the previous life.

In mid-June, the Anglo-Amazon War, which lasted more than 70 days, came to an end.

The British won the war with less than 300 dead, less than 800 wounded, and less than 100 captured. At the cost of a total of more than 2000 casualties, less than [-] were wounded and killed in Argentina, and more than [-] were captured. The last victory.

Chapter 689 Invitation to the New Governor

In the car to the Peninsula Hotel

In the back seat of the car, Yang Chen and Xue Yufei were invited by the new governor of Xiangjiang to attend the celebration banquet at the Peninsula Hotel.

The victory of the Falklands War undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to Britain, a gradually declining empire on which the sun never sets.

Regardless of how countries in the world evaluate this war, the British are quite satisfied with the victory of this war anyway.

Before declaring war, Britain had already delineated the scope of the war on the land of the Falkland Islands. For the mainland of Argentina, Britain did not even invest a single shell or plane.

After destroying the Argentine naval fleet, without the support of European and American countries, Britain is already invincible.

It can be said that this war was completely over after the British captured the Falklands.

The United Kingdom will celebrate again, the Commonwealth States will celebrate again, and the developed countries in Europe and America will celebrate again, and Xiangjiang will also celebrate.

Initiated by Governor Youde, who just took office in May, invited Hong Kong's political and business circles and celebrities to a banquet to celebrate the victory of the British war.

For the new Governor Youde, Yang Chen is not cold at all, compared to the former Governor MacLehose, this guy is here to make trouble for Xiangjiang.

Of course, he was not the only one, and the next few governors after him were all the same.

The issue of Xiangjiang's ownership has been resolved, and returning to the interior is unavoidable. If the unhappy British people don't do something, they will obviously be sorry for the hooligan labels they have attached to them.

Even though this person didn't hold back any good intentions, Yang Chen was not afraid of him. With the actions he made before the battle this time, the British senior management obviously had a good impression of him.

Even Mrs. Thatcher personally called and invited him to the banquet celebrating the victory of the war.

Facing Mrs. Thatcher's invitation, Yang Chen directly rejected it without even thinking about it. The reason, of course, was that his game company was about to go public and he couldn't spare time.

If he hadn't known that polar bears would fall in a few years, and that peaceful development would be the main theme of the future, he would have wanted to make the British stumble.

However, although he avoided Mrs. Thatcher's invitation, it was unavoidable, let alone indifferent, that the new Governor-General called to invite him so close at hand.

Although Youde is far from the level of Prince Charles and Mrs. Thatcher, but his family is at least a governor, and Xiangjiang's parent officer in the next few years.

There is a saying, "The county magistrate is not as good as the current one."

Next, the matter of emigrating to North Australia, with the amount of emigration that Yang Chen intends to emigrate, if there is no cooperation from Youde in the middle, it is really not easy to handle.

It will not be difficult for Xiangjiang people to immigrate to Australia, but if they immigrate directly from the inland to Australia, it will definitely not be easy.

Therefore, if Yang Chen wants to immigrate to Australia on a large scale, he must change the identity of the immigrants recruited from the inland in Xiangjiang to enter.

"Yu Fei, everything that needs to be arranged here has been arranged, right? The game company will go public at the end of the month, so you have to go to America with me."

"It's all been arranged. I'm going to hand over the game company's affairs to Manager Li. He has no problem at all in terms of ability."
