"At 13:37 p.m. on May 4, the latest British warship 'Sheffield' was sunk by the Argentine Air Force in the waters north of the Malvinas Islands, and it is not yet known the casualties of the 268 crew members on board"

"The reporter learned from an Argentine military source who did not want to be named that Argentina sank the Sheffield with a high-performance anti-ship missile, but the military source did not disclose more valuable information about the specific model of the missile."

"When a reporter asked the Argentine military spokesman about the specific process of sinking the 'Sheffield', the spokesman only gave an intriguing word, that is, hearty!"

"There has been no official statement from the British government and military yet, but there are all indications that the British government is clearly not prepared to lose a $200 million warship"

"At a time when the world thought Argentina was about to raise its hand and surrender, he gave the world a huge shock in an extremely amazing way, and at the same time declared that Argentina still has enough chips in its hands to make Britain pay a terrible price"

In less than a day, the news of the sinking of the British "Sheffield" by the Argentine Air Force spread throughout the world, and immediately set off a frenzy of public opinion around the world. Call him the Latin American Napoleon who rebelled against the British colonizers.

The American "Time Magazine" even designated Galtieri as the cover character of the May issue, with a huge avatar and a wolf-like Argentine Air Force fighter. The small print under the subheading is even more meaningful:

"The Galtieri Sky Cavalry that tore apart the Iron Curtain of the British fleet!"

As for those experts, scholars, and media commentators, they publish all kinds of comments in newspapers with a seemingly professional perspective, and they sit in the studios of television stations, talk loudly, point out the country, and intersect here, but the various military and intelligence agencies are much more professional. While collecting as many details of the battle as possible, they are also drawing lessons from it and applying them to the construction of their own navy and air force.

However, in this wave of public opinion frenzy that rises wave after wave. The British media, which was originally very active, seemed to have disappeared from the earth, showing a state of unity, and the spokesmen of the government and the military did not have the arrogance of the previous days. All of them are disgraced. When I saw the media reporters, I couldn't wait to walk around, and I really couldn't hide from it, so I could only prevaricate with "no comment", but compared with the collective silence of Britain's appearance, the wartime cabinet meeting with countless mysterious halos had already quarreled about the merits and demerits of this war:

"I think this defeat is entirely the result of Woodward's inexperience, his blind advance!" said Admiral Lewin, a member of the British wartime cabinet, First Sea Lord and Chief of Staff of the Royal Navy, with a fierce opening statement.

Since Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher rejected his candidacy. With the young admiral Woodward, Field Marshal Lein was very unhappy. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Margaret Thatcher went so far as to give Woodward the arbitrary power to ignore the Royal Navy Staff.

This kind of unscrupulous disregard completely made Marshal Lein's dissatisfaction reach its peak, and he had long wanted to pull Woodward, a loyal follower of Margaret Thatcher, off the horse, but at that time, Woodward had won several naval and air battles in succession, and he was in the limelight, let alone pulling down the horse, and it was already a great blessing to be able to ensure that his power would not be further expanded.

At a time when Marshal Lein had nothing to do about it, the sinking of the "Sheffield" gave him a golden opportunity, so in several successive wartime cabinet meetings, Marshal Lein directly put the main responsibility for the sinking of the "Sheffield" on the head of Major General Woodward.

As a result, he quarreled with Lord Carrington, the British Foreign Secretary who was also a staunch supporter of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and a staunch supporter of Major General Woodward.

Now, after several recesses of the wartime cabinet meeting, Marshal Lein has changed his usual lengthy opening remarks and cut straight to the point, vowing to beat the arrogance of Woodward, a young man:

"It turns out that his ability is simply not capable of commanding such a large fleet, if he could be more cautious, there would not be the tragedy of 'Sheffield', it is war, not a child's house, 'Sheffield' is a warship of more than 200 million dollars, not a toy that can be discarded at will, gentlemen, I don't think you want to see the United Kingdom disgraced because of the recklessness of young people!"

"Mr. Marshal, I think what an irrational act to put all the blame on the front-line commander for a failure!" said Marshal Lewyn, who had just finished speaking, and Lord Carrington, the Foreign Secretary, retorted:

"What's more, Major General Woodward has done a good enough job to surprise South Georgia and encircle and annihilate the 'Super Banner' fleet, all of which show his wise and brave side, and more importantly, his unconventional and enterprising will, which is exactly what our British army lacks the most now."

"Mr. Lord, are you saying that those of us who came out of the smoke of the second station are outdated?"

"I didn't mean it, but the marshal couldn't help it if he understood it like this!"

"You"

"That's it!"

Seeing that Luin and Carrington were about to quarrel again, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who was sitting in the central seat, couldn't help but look at her and let out a loud shout, which made the tense Carrington and Carrington suddenly quiet down, and Mrs. Thatcher had the usual toughness and recklessness of the Iron Lady on her face.

But she is very helpless in her heart, now she can still control the situation, but once the war on the front line is not effective, not to mention the Labour Party in Parliament, which is already ready to move, even the Conservative Party will have irreparable divisions, Lein is the best example, is it not to unite the party first?

Just when Mrs. Thatcher weighed the pros and cons in her heart and thought about the next wording, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked gently, and then the confidential secretary of the Prime Minister's office handed over an important piece of information that had just been received to Mrs. Thatcher, and then received it, only glanced at it, and her expression became a little crying and laughing, and then according to the procedure, she asked the secretary to distribute the photocopies to the members of the wartime cabinet, and then handed the original copy of the information in her hand to Lord Atkins, who was in charge of MI6 next to her:

"Mr. Lord, this is the first camera sent by Drake, I don't know if you know it in advance!"

At this time, Lord Atkins was so angry that his face turned blue, because he had no idea in advance, let alone that he would be so bold to directly pass him and submit information to the Prime Minister, so that the previous feelings of defense were suddenly gone:

"Madam, I vouch for my personality, this is the first time I've seen this information, I don't know what this Drake thinks, and I'll definitely investigate when I go back."

"What do you think, of course, to make up for it!" Before Lord Atkins could finish speaking, Marshal Lein interrupted the head of MI6 with a smile with the photocopy, and then threw the photocopy in his hand on the table like garbage, and said disdainfully:

"It's just that this guy is really too meritorious and earnest, and he even said that the missile that Argentina sank the 'Sheffield' was provided by China, I really don't know how his head grows, if China can make such a missile, is it still China?

"Yes!" Lord Carrington rarely agreed with Luin's opinion, and nodded approvingly: "Obviously it is the French 'Exocet' anti-ship missile, although we shot down three 'Super Military Flags' and caused them to suffer heavy losses, we still underestimated the Argentine's repair ability and determination to resist!"

"Therefore, I said that Woodward is still too young and not cautious enough, knowing that Argentina still has the 'Super Flag' and 'Exocet' missiles in its hands, and he has to send 'Sheffield' to guard alone."

"Things can't be generalized"

As he spoke, Luin and Carrington rose up again, and the information that Drake had passed on at great risk was just thrown into the trash as waste paper

However, the quarrel between the two did not last long, because Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who had weighed it all over, had already made a decision, and because of this, after more than ten hours of wartime cabinet meetings that lasted more than ten hours, several interruptions, finally reached a resolution, and Marshal Lein finally left 10 Downing Street with a satisfied smile (to be continued). )
