Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

"What do you think?" Yang Chen looked at the Chartered Ship King with a puzzled expression, deliberately pretending that he didn't understand.

The Chartered Ship King smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tell me, you kid. You are not afraid that the new governor will see you unhappy and secretly trip you up. I know that you have invested a lot in Australia this time, so you are not afraid of your previous efforts. , is it all in vain?"

"He doesn't dare." Yang Chen curled his lips and said.

With one sentence from Yang Chen, all the bosses present were stunned. What is domineering sideways leaking? That dismissive expression made Charter King and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

They are not nouveau riche who don't know anything. Many of them started from scratch and made it to where they are today. Sitting here, it can be said that none of them is a simple person.

They could hear the confidence hidden in Yang Chen's tone, and they could also feel that what he said was not a joke.

The reason why they couldn't believe it was because of Yang Chen's confidence.

Reminiscent of a year ago, Yang Chen was still a student who had just dropped out of school, and now, in the blink of an eye, he surpassed most of them present.

This feeling, how should I put it.

Seeing Yang Chen, they felt that they were getting old from the bottom of their hearts.

This was an out-and-out blow to the Chinese bosses present.

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

This guy Yang Chen is getting more and more perverted. Not only did he hit a lot of second-generation wealthy children of the same generation as him, but now even old guys like them have been severely hit.

Feeling that the surrounding atmosphere was not right, Yang Chen grinned awkwardly. What he just said was not arrogant, but subconsciously blurted out.

Don't look at Youde as the governor of Xiangjiang, but compared with Shen Congee and HSBC, he is still a little bit worse.

Xiangjiang lost a governor, nothing special, without him, Youde, and others, Xiangjiang will turn around as it should.

But if Xiangjiang loses Shen Porridge and HSBC Bank, then Xiangjiang's economy will almost be over.

It is not an easy task for Xiangjiang to develop from a small fishing village into one of the best metropolises in Asia. As one of the two banknote-issuing banks in Xiangjiang, HSBC Bank is one of the two banknote-issuing banks, and the interest groups behind it are not something a small governor can handle.

Right now, the interests of Yang Chen and HSBC are the same.

Once Youde infringes on his interests, it is tantamount to infringing on the interests of HSBC.

Infringe on the interests of HSBC Bank, so the forces behind HSBC Bank, as long as they make a slight move, can definitely take off the tiger's skin on the other party's body.

"cough cough"

"Uncles, in fact, you don't need to worry about our new governor's three fires on us."

As soon as Yang Chen's words came out, everyone immediately turned their heads to look at him, none of them spoke, and waited quietly for the next sentence.

"There are two reasons why I say this. First, we represent most of the power of Xiangjiang Huazi. Once the new governor puts the fire on us, Xiangjiang Huazi will inevitably be in chaos.

You must know that Xiangjiang is already chaotic enough. In such a sensitive period, no one dares to attack us. Not to mention that the upper echelon of the UK does not allow it, even the inland side will not watch us have an accident. .

Second, the reason is even simpler. The attitude of the inland side has become more and more obvious now. The British don't think they just won a battle, but this victory was actually a fluke.

If it weren't for the full support of European and American countries, it would be impossible for Britain to end the war in such a short period of time, and through this war, they have actually exposed many problems.

In the face of Argentina's provocation, although Britain won the war, it did not punish Argentina who took the initiative to provoke the war. The British did not even enter the Argentine mainland with a shell or a plane. "

"This shows what?"

"There is only one reason, and that is that the British don't want to fight at all, and they don't want to fall into the quagmire of World War I and World War II again. They have been scared by the two world wars."

"Xiangjiang is different from the Falklands. The Falklands are more than 500 kilometers away from the mainland of Argentina. As long as the British solve the Argentine navy and overwhelm Argentina at sea, then Argentina will have no room to fight back."

"But everyone, look at Xiangjiang, how far is Xiangjiang from the inland?"

"Just across the river"

"Although the strength of the inland navy is not as strong as that of the United Kingdom, the strength of the army is recognized by the world. With such a short distance, as long as the inland is willing, Xiangjiang can be regained overnight."

"The British don't have the strength, let alone the courage to say no to the inland areas. Hong Kong's return is a matter of time. Even if the British won the Falklands War, the inland side will never let go."

"Even, I can guarantee that the inland side will become more tough in the future, because through the Falklands War, I believe that the inland side has also seen something about the British situation."

"The Falklands War was a war with no winners. Although the British won and recaptured the Falklands, the loser, Argentina, did not give up its sovereignty over the Falklands.

In other words, the British won the war, but did not get any real benefits in the middle. "

Chapter 697 One Hero Three Gangs

Many people in later generations regard the Falklands War as the "afterglow of the empire on which the sun never sets". A Falklands War undoubtedly exposed the weakness of Britain's military strength to the world.

In the 10,000th century, the United Kingdom, which once occupied the most colonies in the world, has basically lost all its overseas colonies of the Empire on which the sun never sets, except for a small island of [-]+ square kilometers in the mainland.

During the Falklands War, the reason why Britain moved so quickly was that it did not want other countries to see Britain's weakness, and the party headed by Mrs Thatcher was facing the next general election.

If the British government chose to remain silent during the Falklands War, it is naturally impossible for Mrs Thatcher's party to be in power in the next general election.

Therefore, whether it is internal or external factors, they all contributed to Britain's use of force against Argentina.

Although the Falklands War brought about an unprecedented speed of war mobilization in the UK in a short period of time, the process and results in the middle were obviously not satisfactory.

The UK was overly conservative and was beaten, but in the end it didn't even have a decent revenge. The empire that once fought against the sun never sets, and when it faced the war again, its attitude was completely different.

As a descendant, Yang Chen is very clear that Britain is already a strong outsider, a proper paper tiger,

Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

The United Kingdom has been proud of it for more than a century. In the brutal wars of World War I and World War II, Britain survived in the end.

Most countries in Europe have been abused by Germany over and over again, but the United Kingdom has stayed out of the matter, and has united with European and American countries again and again to suppress Germany time and time again.

The words "the empire on which the sun never sets" are not in vain.

In later generations, even the United States, known as the global police, has not reached the heights of the United Kingdom.In the era of Chartered Ship King and others, everyone is still in awe of Britain.

Knowing this, Yang Chen immediately continued: "The war is cruel, not only did the British not benefit from it, but it exposed its own weakness because of this war.

You may wish to think about it, the British once launched a war. Didn't they gain huge benefits after the war ended?

However, in the Falklands War, Britain not only failed to gain benefits, but instead paid huge military expenditures.

The fundamental reason why the Falklands War broke out was that Britain was not tough enough in resolving disputes, which made Argentina mistakenly believe that Britain did not dare to do anything to them and did not dare to conduct ocean-going operations.

The Falklands War was initiated by Argentina, and Britain was passive. Although the result of the war was victory, the British dared not even set foot in Argentina.

This shows what?Obviously it shows that Britain is too weak to support the continuation of the war.
