In fact, due to Xia Yu's early warning, the British government is fully prepared in this life compared to the unbelievable after being attacked in the previous life.

For example, the British military has stored a large amount of war readiness materials at the Ascension Island base, which is 5,600 kilometers away from the Falklands, and at the South Georgia military base, which is 1,300 kilometers away from the Falklands.

It can even be said that the British military has already done countless deductions, waiting for Argentina to make a move, ready to seize this opportunity to show Britain's muscles.

Trying to give a breath of air to the UK's declining influence around the world!

So after Argentina made an announcement to the world, the British government reacted extremely quickly.

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher held a grand press conference for the first time, personally announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Argentina, and at the same time formed a wartime cabinet and issued a series of orders, without any concealment!

In the afternoon of the same day, the British Royal Navy, which no longer had large aircraft carriers, formed a task force of two small aircraft carriers, the Invincible and the Athletic, set sail from Portsmouth Harbour and rushed to the Atlantic with the anger and determination of the British people.

Four nuclear submarines at the Ascension Island base in the Atlantic Ocean also headed for the Falklands at full speed.

In addition, a number of British warships participating in NATO exercises in Gibraltar have also sailed to the theater, and this formation will rendezvous with the aircraft carrier group in the Atlantic, and after the convergence, there will be a total of 21 combat ships, 20 Sea Harrier fighters, 58 helicopters of various types, and 3,500 marines.

On 3 April, before the British troops arrived at the Falklands, the British Government issued a strong proclamation to the world, declaring the 200-nautical-mile area around the Falklands a "maritime exclusion zone" and that all Argentine warships and auxiliary vessels entering the area would be attacked.

Britain's approach of warning Argentina in advance before even arriving in the war zone was extremely arrogant and domineering, and it completely failed to take Argentina into account, which greatly stimulated Argentine President Galtieri, who was inspecting the Falklands and was hailed as a "national hero."

Galtieri also had a violent temper, directly declaring that Argentina is capable of defending the territorial integrity of the country, and any aggressor will be defeated by the heroic and invincible Argentine warriors!

In less than two days, without even fighting a war of words, the contradictions between Britain and Afghanistan broke out directly and embarked on the road of war.

The world was shocked and turned its attention to the small island in the South Atlantic.

And Xia Yu, who was watching TV at home in London, couldn't help but smile expectantly after seeing the news.

I wonder how many days it will take Britain, which is fully prepared, to defeat Argentina in this life?

......

Then the whole of British public opinion was dominated by the news of the Falklands War.

The news of Xia Yu's major newspapers, which is well prepared, is the most timely and detailed.

At first, readers didn't notice it, but for several days the news was very timely and of a higher quality than other newspapers, which caused the British people to subscribe to the relevant newspapers, and the sales of the newspapers controlled by the Bright Fund skyrocketed.

Not only in the UK, but also in other European countries, newspapers controlled by the Bright Fund are also competing for the market by using the high-quality channel news of Jiuding News Agency.

On April 5, the blockade began after the British nuclear submarine formation arrived in the theater of operations.

On April 6, the British Hunter patrol aircraft arrived in the war zone and began patrolling.

On 9 April, the vanguard of the British fleet, which had been fully rereplenished, arrived in the theater of operations.

On 15 April, the British task force entered the waters of the Falklands and deployed.

Because the Ascension Island base and the South Georgia base have always had sufficient combat readiness materials, a lot of time has been saved for material transfer and base construction.

The deployment of sufficient air tankers and sufficient fuel at the base in South Georgia also enabled British combat aircraft to sail in the airspace over the Falklands for long periods of time.

It's only thirteen days!

The British army completed the deployment of the sea and air blockade of the Falklands, which is half a world away and thousands of miles away.

This speed has shocked the eyes of all countries, and many countries have reassessed the strength of the United Kingdom.

After World War II, John Bull, whose military strength has been declining, still has such a strong ultra-long-distance projection combat capability after several decades, and the war mobilization and deployment ability shown is still so superb!

Compared with the United States, France, West Germany, island countries and other countries that are simply shocked, Argentina's shock is different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is terrifying!

The Argentine junta is under tremendous pressure, but in the face of turbulent national conditions, Galtieri has not flinched and remains strong in front of the media.

It's a pity that the British don't give Galtier a child.

On April 16, the war finally began.

At 4:30 a.m., a group of nine British strategic bombers flew to the Falklands and dropped 150 bombs weighing 1,000 pounds to carry out a comprehensive bombardment of the two airfields urgently built by Argentina on the island, as well as mines and buildings.

The military buildings on the Falklands were all destroyed, and the troops deployed on the island were also cut off from supplies, and it was only then that Galtieri, the commander and president of the engineering corps who had never been on the battlefield, came to his senses.

However, the Argentine military, which had already lost air supremacy, did not give up its struggle, and the main combat aircraft took off from a land airfield 740 kilometers from the Falklands.

However, the endurance of these Argentine fighters is not strong, and the air supremacy time in the airspace of the Falklands is less than 20 minutes, and the actual combat effect is greatly reduced.

However, fortunately, the Argentine Air Force is elite, the pilots have superb combat skills, and the standard equipment of the Argentine Air Force is also made in France, which is not weaker than the British equipment, so it was on par with the British Air Force in the first air war.

The Argentine Navy also made a large-scale sortie, rushing to the Falklands with supplies to compete with the British Navy in the seas.

And Galtieri did not forget to ask for help, he frantically called the United States, hoping to get support from the United States, but all the incoming calls did not reply.

What Galtieri didn't know was that Margaret Thatcher had already been on the phone with Ronald Reagan, and that the American Atlantic geostationary satellite was transmitting information about Argentina and the Falklands to the British fleet every day.

Margaret Thatcher received information from the battlefield and learned that Argentina was fighting the British army with legal equipment, and she immediately telegraphed the leaders of European countries who sold arms to Argentina.

Early in the morning of 17 April, France "cut off" Argentina and announced that the arms export projects that had previously signed agreements had been suspended.

Immediately afterwards, West Germany, the Netherlands and other countries also issued statements one after another, stopping all strategic equipment and material transactions with Argentina.

Argentina's stockpiles of military equipment and ammunition were facing unprecedented challenges, and Galtieri had to make a national speech complaining about the joint sanctions imposed on Argentina by developed countries, and then ordered all factories in the country to be temporarily converted into military factories to produce all military supplies and equipment, and demanded that the workers perform their duties and contribute to the country.

The Argentine nationals, who were excited about the resumption of sovereignty over the Falklands half a month ago, have finally realized the extent of the situation.

Unfortunately, at this time, the British intelligence system had begun to operate in Argentina, resulting in many riots in Argentina.

For a time, Argentina's internal and external troubles were extremely serious!

The scales of victory are tipping in favor of the British at breakneck speed!

Xia Yu, who has been learning about the latest situation in London, is very happy.

The more efficient the British army fought and the sooner the war ended, the better it was for him!

......

In the past half a month in the UK, Xia Yu has not been idle.

He took a look at his assets in the UK and made a number of adjustments to strengthen his control and influence over companies in various sectors.

In his free time, he also went to see Warwick Castle, which he had bought from the Cavendish family, and arranged the renovation and restoration work according to his own opinion.

Later, he made a special trip to the Cavendish family, visited Porter Philip Cavendis, Duke of Devonshire, and brought some Romanée Conti and Latour wines as gifts to deepen their relationship.

Of course, Duke Porter Philip Cavendish would give gifts, and there was no reason why Duke Carter Howard, Prince Philip, and Duke Ian Campbell would be left behind.

Moreover, if it is rumored that these big names like Romanée Conti and Latour wines, it will definitely greatly improve the reputation of Romanée Conti and Latour wines in the UK, and Xia Yu will make a lot of money!

PS: Excessive chapters, it's really not good to break somewhere.
