Five days later, in Santiago, the capital of Chile, Drake, as one of the members of the British delegation, looked at the satisfied nods and happy smiles of the Chinese opposite, and couldn't help but feel inexplicable bitterness in his heart.

However, in just a few days, the grim domestic and foreign situation forced the British Thatcher government to make substantial concessions, which cannot but be said to be a great irony.

That's right, it is like a clown performing on the stage, and the audience is none other than the Chinese who meet him every day, when he was still passionate, but now he thinks about it is extremely ridiculous and humiliating, the original careful planning is like a slap in the face, it seems to hit the enemy, but it turned out to be unreservedly pumped in his face, and the careful calculation before was like a stone raised high, wanting to throw it on the Chinese, but in the end it was all smashed on his feet.

"I really want to be like that Phillips guy and just walk away!"

Thinking of his original partner Phillips, Drake's heart couldn't help but feel a little envious, because he set off for London after getting the news, and people who didn't know it thought that No. 10 Downing Street had summoned the young consultant, only Drake knew in his heart,

Phillips was ashamed to see those Chinese colleagues again, especially since he had said before: "I will use a camera to record the embarrassing appearance of Chinese", and now it is indeed a proverb, but the record is no longer these Englishmen who always carry the gentlemanly style. It's the Chinese who are incredibly smart

"Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake?"

Just when Drake was stunned, the head of MI6 sitting next to him, who was also the chief representative of the negotiations with China, Lord Artskin, made a few soft calls. Let Drake completely break free from his own thoughts:

"Mister"

"Look at this!"

Lord Arteskin didn't wait for his subordinates to finish speaking, he frowned and nodded at the note that had been pushed in front of Drake, which read in a few English words:

"Sir, please be careful!"

Drake only glanced at it, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his white face, how could he not know that this aristocratic boss had a strong atmosphere. What could be done about the displeasure he had just expressed, and he had offered to return to London, but Lord Arteskin had not agreed. In the end, it can only make the Chinese on the opposite side see the joke.

Although he thought so in his heart, he could not show it in front of Lord Arteskin, so he could only sit upright and concentrate. It's just that his movements are very unnatural. Seeing this, Lord Arteskin couldn't help frowning slightly. can achieve the position of the head of MI6, Lord Arteskin also has a pair of spicy eyes, how can he not see what Drake is thinking.

If it weren't for the fact that Drake was an old MI6 veteran who he had single-handedly raised, and that he lacked a reliable assistant by his side who understood China's thinking, Lord Arteskin really didn't want his subordinates who had always been optimistic about him to be embarrassed here.

A few days ago. After receiving the news that the "Athletic God" had suffered a heavy blow, the entire wartime cabinet felt as if it had been hit by a thunderbolt from the sky. Everyone was at a loss, and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sat in her seat with blank eyes, and it was not until ten minutes later that she shouted sadly:

"How so?"

It was not only Margaret Thatcher who was asking the same question, but all the members of the wartime cabinet were equally amazed and puzzled, but they knew that it was no longer a matter of dwelling on the tactical aspects of the attack on the British fleet, but about how to end a war that could no longer be lost!

You must know that since the start of the war, although the British army has achieved a series of victories on the ground battlefield, but in the vast sea and air battles, it has been losing one after another, suffering heavy losses, and the British today is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and every warship is incomparably precious, and it simply cannot withstand such serious attrition.

Moreover, as the casualties continue to rise, the anti-war consciousness of the domestic people has also risen, coupled with the radical privatization reforms implemented by Margaret Thatcher since she came to power, and the attacks and constraints of opposition parties such as the Labor Party, the Thatcher government has reached the brink of danger.

I thought that the Argentine Air Force would take advantage of the fact that the Argentine Air Force had suffered heavy losses and was unable to fight again in a short period of time to carry out a quick battle and take the Falklands in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, the Argentine Air Force struck a thunderous blow and not only blew the destroyers "Glamorgan" and "Exeter" into hulls, but even the aircraft carrier "Athletic God," which was heavily protected.

In the face of such a result, the entire British wartime cabinet, including Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, felt that starting this war was an extremely wrong decision, but it was absolutely impossible to end the war like this, because once this happened, the end of the huge cost but the disastrous defeat would instantly destroy the Thatcher government.

Many politicians who are now calling for wind and rain in London will also end their glorious political lives and spend the rest of their lives with heavy infamy, no one will do this, and no one dares to do this, and because of this, there is only one way left, that is, to try to end the war calmly and decently without suffering new losses.

To this end, the members of the wartime cabinet discussed various plans, and in the end, it was the plan of the head of MI6, Lord Arteskin, which was unanimously approved by the wartime cabinet, that is, to seek a breakthrough in the line of China, after all, China, as the supplier of Argentine anti-ship missiles, knows a lot about Argentine missile attack capabilities.

If a breakthrough can be sought, it will be an incomparably huge boost to the war, not to mention that China's supply of anti-ship missiles to Argentina is secret, and the Chinese government's handling of this is also quite low-key, even if the previous private contacts between China and Britain were not pleasant, and the Chinese government did not hype up this issue, which reserved a room for maneuver and a cornerstone of sincerity for both sides

It's just that what Lord Arteskin didn't expect was that he was the one who proposed the plan. In the end, he also became the executor of the plan, and it should be said that he did not want to be the spokesperson for this concession, not only did he have a bad reputation. And it is very likely to be sneered at by the other party, but there is no way, who made him the head of MI6.

This kind of private high-level secret negotiation is only the most suitable for him, so he came to San Diego hard, so he is very strict with Drake, that is, he is afraid that the Chinese who have the upper hand on the opposite side will seize a little bit of fur to make a fuss. In a word, in the case of asking for others, you can only humbly bow your head

"Mr. Lord. We are very satisfied with the information you provided!"

At this moment, sitting opposite Lord Arteskin was a slender old man with slight temples, but his eyes were like lightning. The old man is no one else. It was Liu Haotian, director of the Third Bureau of the General Staff, who was ordered to conduct high-level negotiations with Lord Esteskin this time, at this time he put down the microfilm provided by Lord Etekin in his hand and nodded with a satisfied smile:

"I very much appreciate the support of your government, these technologies are what we need, the world is not at peace now, the Soviet Union's 'Seven Hour Nuclear War' exercise a few days ago made us feel very heavy. I guess it's the same in your country, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu!"

Lord Artskin smiled in response. He had a good impression of Liu Haotian in front of him, but he didn't relax his guard in his heart, who knows if Liu Haotian, who is amiable on the surface, is a means to confuse the enemy, because according to Drake, they have suffered a lot of such secret losses from Lu Jiadong, and Lu Jiadong, who gave the entire British delegation a headache, sat next to Liu Haotian, which could not help but make Lord Arteskin vigilant:

"We, the Government of the United Kingdom, are also concerned about this!"

"I think that's the case!" Liu Haotian nodded: "So we still have common interests in this regard!"

Lord Arteskin didn't know what Liu Haotian was going to say, so he just smiled and said, "That's right, Margaret Thatcher also said that China is an ally of the West and a friend of the United Kingdom."

"But I don't know why, how can your country be so cautious with its allies and friends?

"This"

Lord Arteskin frowned, not knowing what to say for a while, and at this time, Lu Jiadong picked up a few microfilms in front of him and said:

"Mr. Lord, if I'm not mistaken, the information on the aero engine provided by your country should be an improved version of the 'Spey', and the information on the towed sonar is also an old model from ten years ago, as for the information on the combat system, how do you look like the production instructions of the L118 light howitzer!"

"Me"

Lord Arteskin did not expect that the Chinese would see through the cat on the film in such a short period of time, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, but before he could explain, Liu Haotian preemptively said:

"In fact, we also regard the UK as a friend, and now our country is fully developing its economy, and many large-scale projects need to import equipment and raw materials, and the UK has a strong complementarity with us in many aspects!"

As he spoke, Liu Haotian sighed helplessly: "Alas, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Mr. Lord about the bidding for nuclear power plants, the import of polyethylene supporting equipment, and the introduction of textile, shipbuilding and other equipment, but it is a pity."

Liu Haotian didn't wait to finish speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, and at this time, Lord Eskin, whose eyes had already shone, hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted:

"Wait, Mr. Liu, it was my negligence, I'm sorry, it was my assistant who took the wrong information"

When Liu Haotian heard this, he and Lu Jiadong glanced at each other, and both of them smiled meaningfully (to be continued. )
