Chapter 1351 The Second Falklands War

On June 1, Egypt, Syria, and Israel, the three countries directly participating in the war, signed the "Middle East Peace Treaty" in Shanghai, announcing the official end of the fifth Middle East War. The armies of both sides have begun to retreat. China, the United States, Russia, and Europe

The military also began to enter the jurisdiction to carry out peace and supervision tasks. The Palestinian interim government and Israel signed the "Palestinian-Israeli Peace and Territorial Division Agreement". Both parties began to formally conduct government relations in the Palestinian area, and peacekeeping forces from China and Europe also entered.

In the Palestinian area, the work of maintaining local stability began. The energy group signed the (China-Israel Security Assurance Treaty) with Israel. The energy group began to formally assume the responsibility for Israel's nuclear security, and Israel also began to work under the supervision of China, the United States, Russia, and Europe.

Destroy nuclear weapons. Israel signed the (Middle East Nuclear-Free Treaty) with all Arab countries, and the nuclear monitoring team composed of China, the United States, Russia, and Europe officially began to carry out nuclear monitoring tasks in various countries in the Middle East.

On June 2, the Middle East Peace Treaty officially came into effect. The war in the Middle East finally ended, ushering in more than 10 years of peace, and the world was freed from the nuclear crisis. In fact, the one with the greatest profit is China.

After sending a negotiation team, they obtained the greatest rights in this area. Although they were only a name for the energy group, Li Cong must have brought them a lot of benefits.

The fifth Middle East War has had a profound impact on the world structure. First of all, the United States has lost its dominance in the Middle East. The United States no longer has a military base in the Middle East. Moreover, the United States’ wrong policies in the Middle East have led to no

Every country in the Middle East regards the United States as a friend. The biggest impact is that the energy group officially entered the Middle East and became the country with the greatest influence in the Middle East. The energy group’s neutral peace policy in the Middle East has been unanimously praised.

The energy group's military force also took this opportunity to officially establish its own position in the Middle East. Moreover, the energy group's method of resolving national conflicts was also well received, laying the foundation for the energy group to gain more support and diplomatic results in the country in the future.

In any future regional conflict, if a mediator is to be found, the first thing to consider is the energy group, not the United States. From then on, the energy group began to slowly replace the United States' position in the world.

On May 25, when the ceasefire negotiations in the Middle East were not yet over, the war in the South Atlantic added another spark to this unstable world. Argentina's secret forces captured the area as quickly as they did 23 years ago.

The Malvinas (Falklands) Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands were occupied by the British.

At 8 a.m., four hours after Argentina captured the Malvinas Islands, the United Kingdom announced that it would not sit idly by and allow its overseas territories to be occupied. On the same day, the new British Prime Minister Sampson announced that the United Kingdom would form a task force to sail to South Africa.

Atlantic Ocean, retaking the occupied Falkland Islands and its affiliated islands. The Second Falkland Islands War officially broke out.

The British-Arab disputed territory, referred to as the Falkland Islands, is located at 51°40′-53°00′ south latitude and 57°40′-62°00′ west longitude. It is located in the South Atlantic waters east of the southern tip of Argentina and more than 500 kilometers west of Argentina.

. About 480 kilometers northeast of the southern tip of South America, about the same distance east of the Strait of Magellan. The entire territory consists of two main islands: Soledad (East Falkland) and Malvina (West Falkland).

It consists of more than 200 small islands. The coast is tortuous and the terrain is complex. The archipelago is dominated by two east-west mountain ranges in the north, with the highest peak reaching 705 meters. The island is hilly, with short and slow rivers. The climate is cold and humid, with an average annual temperature of 5.6 degrees Celsius.

.The average annual precipitation is 625 mm, and there are about 250 days of rain and snow in a year.

The British navigator John Davis on the HMS Desire in 1592 may have been the first person to see the Falkland Islands. But the Dutchman Sebalddewww.jtxsk.comtoinedebougainville first sighted the East Falkland Islands in 1764.

Establish a settlement. The British were the first settlers in West Falkland Island in 1765, but were expelled by the Spanish in 1770. The Spanish bought all the property rights of the French settlement around 1767. The British fought in the Israel War

After being threatened, Spain restored its outpost on West Falkland Island in 1771, and withdrew from the island in 1774 for economic reasons, but did not give up its claim to sovereignty. Spain maintained an outpost on East Falkland Island (which it called the

The island remained a settlement of Soledad Island until 1811.

Argentina, which declared independence from Spain in 1816, claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands in 1820. In 1831, the USS Lexington destroyed Argentine settlements on East Falkland Island in retaliation for them.

Three American ships hunting seals in the area were illegally detained. In early 1833, the British expelled the remaining Argentine officials from the island without firing a shot. In 1841, the British assigned a civilian lieutenant governor to the island. By 1885, there was only one

The British community of about 1,800 people has become self-sufficient. Falkland Island became an official British colony in 1892. Argentina has always opposed British occupation of the islands.

After World War II, the issue of sovereignty over the Falkland Islands was transferred to the United Nations. In 1964, the United Nations Decolonization Committee debated the issue of the ownership of the islands. Argentina relied on the 1493 Papal Bull (later approved by the 1494 "

The Treaty of Tordesillas (treatyoftordesillas) was revised based on this (Spain and Portugal had divided the New World among themselves based on this, and claimed to have control over Fokker on the grounds of inheriting Spain, the proximity of the archipelago to South America, the need to end their colonial status, etc.

The United Kingdom claims sovereignty over the Falkland Islands on the basis of its "open, continuous and effective possession, occupation and administration" of the Islands since 1833 and its determination to apply the principle of self-determination recognized by the United Nations Charter to the Falkland Islanders.

Sovereignty. Britain claimed that surrendering the lives and property of the Falkland Islanders to the rule of Argentina against their will was by no means the end of colonial status, but the establishment of a new colony.

In 1965, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution inviting Britain and Argentina to hold talks to find a peaceful solution to the dispute. This protracted discussion was still going on in February 1982, and shortly thereafter the Argentine military government invaded on April 2, 1982.

The Falkland Islands war broke out. Ten weeks later, the war ended. Argentinian troops surrendered to the British army in Stanley, and the British army forcibly reoccupied the islands. The British continued to station troops on the islands.

It also imposed a military zone and a fishing reserve, the latter extending a considerable distance from the shore. The population is approximately 2,379.

In 1982, a war broke out between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the ownership of the Malvinas (Falklands) Islands. At that time, the United Kingdom received intelligence support from the United States, while Argentina was blocked by Western countries. Although the Argentinians were brave

The battle severely damaged the British task force that came from afar, but due to the gap in overall strength, the war was finally lost, and it triggered domestic unrest. Now the Argentines have been working hard for more than 20 years, and they are also making preparations

After more than 20 years, can the Argentines win the second Falklands War?

On May 30, 2015, the British task force was formed. The main force was the two British aircraft carriers "Son of the Sea" and "Blue Ocean". The escort missions were 4 level 45 air defense destroyers and 4 level 24 anti-submarine ships.

Frigates, 3 latest attack nuclear submarines. The forces responsible for retaking the Falklands are two brigades of the British Marine Corps, which are carried by 2 large amphibious assault ships and 3 transport ships. The formation also has 2 large comprehensive supply ships.

Responsible for the fleet's ocean-going supply mission. King Charles of the United Kingdom personally went to Portsmouth Port to hold a farewell ceremony for the departure of the task force. After the British task force left Portsmouth, they rushed towards the South Atlantic with murderous intent.

It has shouldered the honor of being Britain's naval power for hundreds of years.

On May 31, the President of the United States announced that the United States would not intervene in the Anglo-Afghan War and would maintain a neutral status. On the same day, the New European Union, Great Russia, and China all announced that they would remain neutral. The energy group did not follow them because Li Cong knew that the group

The internal relationship with Argentina can be said to be very good. In the past, he planned to commit suicide under the Skull and Bones Society. Now that he has the opportunity, he cannot let it pass. He also knows that even if he declares neutrality, the Americans will not believe it.

Same hypocrisy? It’s no longer necessary. We are very powerful and we directly announced that we would intervene.

This is just like 23 years ago. Although the United States maintains neutrality on the surface, the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is extraordinary. The only ally the United States can consider in Europe is the United Kingdom. Both the United States and the United Kingdom are Anglo-Saxons.

The United States will not help Britain. But South America has always been the backyard of the United States, and Argentina's important position in South America is obvious, so the United States cannot risk offending all South American countries to come to the country.

They support the United Kingdom. If it were any other country, the United States would appease it, but Argentina? They will not forget how many troubles Argentina has made with the help of Li Er in the past few years.

The United States wants to use the same trick it did 23 years ago to help Britain secretly, so that Britain can win this war, and at the same time combat the trend of South America gradually developing into a counter-independence force. This move of the United States cannot but be said to be ruthless, but

Will the current world situation allow the United States to succeed? The world has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past 23 years. The United States is no longer the world's dominant power. There are now many countries that can contain every move of the United States. Therefore, the New European Alliance, Great Russia and

China will not let go of this opportunity to severely damage the dominance of the United States in South America. Moreover, the biggest difference is that the energy group announced that it will support Argentina. Although the Letcher family in the UK is not like Li Cong

After a long discussion, Li Cong finally decided to support Argentina because he could see that no matter how he helped Britain, Britain would follow the Americans.

During the first Falklands War 23 years ago, Europe was still under the control of the United States, so it followed the footsteps of the United States and imposed a military embargo on Argentina. At that time, France originally sold Exocet missiles to Argentina.

It was detained in France and was not delivered to Argentina. However, Argentina only used the 5 Exocet missiles in its hands to sink a large destroyer and a large troop carrier in the British fleet. If Argentina had more Exocet missiles in its hands at that time,

Maybe history will be rewritten. Now Europe is no longer under the control of the United States and has become a pole of world power. Moreover, Europeans are also very angry and will never let this go and let the United States continue to be weakened.

Opportunity. Although the new European Union expressed neutrality on the surface, Germany and France both expressed that they would continue military cooperation with Argentina and sold Argentina the latest anti-ship weapons.

23 years ago, the Soviet Union had already stood on Argentina's side. Of course, there is no free pie in the sky. The Soviet Union helped Argentina at that time to attack the United States, but it backfired. In the end, the Soviet Union's help did not allow Argentina to win.

.But now Great Russia has basically returned to the level of the former Soviet Union, so Great Russia will not miss this opportunity. Russia has had enough in terms of nuclear weapons reduction, anti-ballistic missile treaty, economic assistance, and competition for spheres of influence.

The Great Russians will never let this opportunity to avenge the bullying of the United States slip away. On May 26, Great Russia stated that it could sell the most advanced fighter jets to Argentina and provide Argentina with

Training pilots.

In 1982, China had just entered into reform and opening up, and it was at an inextricable war with Vietnam. China was not in the mood, nor had the ability, to intervene in matters in the distant South Atlantic. However, the brave actions of the Argentinians served China well.

The successful recovery of Hong Kong created good conditions. The then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher took advantage of the aftermath of winning the Falklands War to visit China. She said she was discussing the issue of Hong Kong with China, but in fact she did not want to return Hong Kong. But the great leader

But it made Thatcher understand that China is not Argentina, and Hong Kong is not the Falklands. A country as small as Argentina can cause huge harm to the British expedition fleet, and China is absolutely capable of taking back Hong Kong, which is just around the corner.

Whether by force or negotiation.

On the surface, today's China is not as good as the United States and the New European Union economically, not as good as the United States and Great Russia in terms of the number of nuclear weapons, and not as good as India in terms of population (in 2013, India's population was

(exceeding China), but no one can underestimate China’s comprehensive national strength. Although the economic scale is only about 60% of that of the United States, there is still huge room for RMB appreciation. No one can ignore this. China’s comprehensive national strength

It is already third in the world, behind the United States and the New European Union, and the gap is very small. If the speed continues, it will surpass the United States economically within 10 years, and will definitely become the country with the most powerful comprehensive national power within 20 years. And China

It has always supported the regional nationalist movements, so in the outbreak of the second Falklands War, although China clearly stated that it would remain neutral, no one would doubt that China would use its greatest strength to support Argentina.

During the Taiwan War, the Second Korean War, the Fourth India-Pakistan War, and the Fifth Middle East War, the relationship between China and the United States can be said to have reached the point where they would do anything short of direct war.

Can China let go of such a good opportunity to entangle the United States? On May 24, Argentina reached a secret agreement with China (this was only declassified 20 years later, after the world situation had been settled)

), China will dispatch submarine forces to escort Argentina’s transport fleet to China, and China will provide Argentina with fighter aircraft and ammunition. As early as a year ago, two batches of more than 500 Argentine pilots came to China to begin training to adapt to

China's weapon systems. China did not sell weapons to Argentina in the form of cash during the war. Argentina could purchase them in the form of loans, and China could choose to use this part of the funds to purchase Argentina's iron ore, rubber, crops, etc. For convenience

Regarding the actions of Chinese naval submarines, Argentina has secretly opened two underground submarine caverns for Chinese nuclear submarines to be stationed. Of course, at the most important time, China will send combat personnel to Argentina on a voluntary basis, including pilots, submarine officers and soldiers, special forces, etc., China

It has become the most important force supporting Argentina and a force that rivals the United States in supporting the United Kingdom!

The energy group also turned a blind eye to China's bypassing of its separate agreement with Argentina. Sweet cooperation can never last forever. During the last Middle East war, China couldn't get away, so everything was

My own, I have to get whatever I want this time. However, the Energy Group has used more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in arms in exchange for the right to station troops in Argentina. No matter how far the war goes, the Energy Group’s military headquarters will reach out.

South America is a fact.

On June 1, the British expeditionary fleet has arrived in British Gibraltar. After a day of rest here, it will set off for Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Ascension Island has always been the British forward base in the Atlantic. 23 years ago

During the Falklands War, the British task force began its war journey here after its last replenishment. Later, British long-range bombers took off directly from here to attack the Argentine-occupied Malvinas Islands.

The port was bombed.

On the same day, the U.S. government announced that the United States would send a task force with two aircraft carriers as the core to conduct goodwill visits to four South American countries, including Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Peru. Now everyone knows that the visit of this U.S. fleet will obviously

It is here to cheer up the British, and also to tell other South American countries to be honest and not to try to help Argentina in this war. At the same time, it also wants to show that it is still dominant in South America. The focus of world public opinion has fallen on this

Regarding the war that is about to break out in the South Atlantic, everyone knows that this is a proxy war between the United States and China, the New European Alliance, and Great Russia.

On June 2, China announced that at the invitation of the Argentine military, China would dispatch a task force with the two aircraft carriers Yue Fei and Han Xian as the core to pay a goodwill visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina. China will not

All cooperation with Argentina will be terminated. The signed contracts will continue to be implemented, and the bilateral trade volume with Argentina is intended to be expanded. The most concerning thing is that along with the Chinese fleet, there are 4 "Xin Song" class AIPs ready to be delivered to Argentina.

Conventional submarines are the latest conventional submarines developed by China on the German 214 and the French Squid class. Their performance is among the best in the world. However, in order to adapt to the development of the new strategy, the Chinese Navy is mainly equipped with nuclear submarines, so it is not

This kind of submarine is not equipped, and the purpose of production is for export. The first place to place an order was Argentina. Argentina spent 24 billion to buy 12 submarines in one go. The unit price of 20 yuan is quite cheap (after the world economic crisis, China’s

Foreign trade is settled in RMB, breaking the era of the US dollar. Now the main currencies in the world are the US dollar, the new euro, the new ruble, and the renminbi. What will be delivered this time is the second batch of four ships. The first

The first batch of four ships has been delivered a year ago and has formed combat effectiveness. The second batch of four ships was planned to be delivered a year later. However, the advent of the war has accelerated the delivery speed. Of course, the price will be correspondingly higher.

So much so. The fourth batch of four submarines was originally planned to be manufactured in Argentina, with technology provided by China. However, with the outbreak of the second Falklands War, it was finally changed to be manufactured in China. The pilots of these four submarines are all experienced
