Chapter 0392: The Purpose of Going to the Battlefield in Danger

The model of economic development is the Asian Tigers, which covers an area of more than 600 square kilometers in Singapore, more than 1,100 square kilometers in Xiangjiang, more than 36,000 square kilometers in Baodao, and more than 99,000 square kilometers in South Korea.

The Falklands are more than 12,000 square kilometers in competition between the United Kingdom and Argentina, and its local economic development is supported by ship supplies, sheep breeding, fishing, etc., and it is not as oil exploration as it was in the original time and space decades later, so it may not be worth the small ball in English professional football in terms of economic importance.

But for the state, the account cannot be counted in that way.

Polar bears, for example, are eye-catching in their greed for land, but they can fight for future strategic interests by encircling most of the Arctic, and in the first half of the 20th century, the Falklands, located at about 52 degrees south latitude, played an important role in Britain's territorial claims to sub-Antarctic islands and part of Antarctica.

If it weren't for the quagmire in the economy, the government's budget cuts, and the considerable expense of maintaining Tsushima rule, Britain might not have been able to sit down at the negotiating table and negotiate with Argentina before.

In terms of how to deal with the former colonies, Britain has long formed a system to safeguard its subsequent interests, just like the division of India and Pakistan, Iraq and Kuwait, and even in the original time and space, a series of small actions in the process of the return of Xiangjiang have never been simple.

In the process of negotiations with Argentina, Britain will naturally not be so honest, but the Argentine military government, which is eager to divert domestic social contradictions, will have patience to consume.

You know, for a long time. Argentina is both a middle power and a regional power in Latin America. So it still has quite a lot of confidence. and the former "empire on which the sun never sets" wrestled wrists.

In addition, Argentina also occupies a geographical advantage, 500 kilometers away from the southern coast of Patagonia on the South American continent, the Falklands are located south of 52 degrees south latitude, while the British mainland is north of 50 degrees north latitude.

Thus, on 19 March, a group of Argentines landed on the island of South Georgia, which is part of the Falklands, and raised the Argentine flag. The prelude to the war was sounded.

On April 2, Argentina sent troops in large numbers, and the British government in the Falklands announced its surrender on April 4, and Argentina completely occupied the Falklands.

At the cost of both sides in this phase of the operation, one Afghan army was killed and one British soldier was wounded.

Despite previous assurances that the Falklands would remain the same way of life and cultural identity, Argentina has eagerly introduced several measures to change local customs.

These include changing the name of the Falklands' capital, Port Stanley, to Puerto Argentina, making Spanish the official language of the Falklands, and changing the rules for driving vehicles from left to right. The location of the streets has been changed, and all traffic signs have been changed to the same as in Argentina.

After the arrival of the Argentine military police on the Falklands. Residents were immediately put on file, and arrests and evictions were carried out on the basis of this "according to the map".

Frequent criticisms of the Argentine military government are priority targets, such as island resident David Colville. Covel and Bill Luxton – Bill. Laxton.

A man named Patricio Dowling – Patricio. Dowling's senior Irish-Argentine police officers often overstepped their authority, including violence, despite instructions that the islanders should be respected.

The conspicuous presence of the two CNN war correspondents on the Falklands is obvious, and you can guess with your knees what kind of reaction their coverage of this conflict provoked.

After Tang Huan figured out the reason and what happened, he clicked his mouth, and said in his heart that if he thought about it according to the survival wisdom of the little people in the original time and space, "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door and cares about the frost on the tiles of others", this matter in front of him is purely asking for trouble; But after the identity, status, and interests have changed, it really can't be divided in peace.

After careful consideration, Tang Huan called Tang Wenmao and gave him some instructions.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and with your current position, there is no need to be so hands-on." As a cousin, Tang Wenmao expressed his opinion at a critical moment, and he was not ambiguous at all.

"I have my own plans, you don't have to say more." Tang Huan waved his hand resolutely, "By the way, bring that newly hired Rice with you, she has to work." ”

Tang Wenmao sighed and walked out of the office with a helpless face, but before going out, he heard Tang Huan tell again, "Be sure to show your executive power." ”

……

After Tang Huan arrived in New York, he first met Ted. Turner.

The two did not greet each other, and the conversation went straight to the point.

"What are you going to do with those two war correspondents?" Tang Huan asked.

"What can I do, and it's so far away." Ted with a look of chagrin on his face. Turner, visibly impatient, "Fortunately, there shouldn't be any danger, but the local first-hand news sources on the Falklands are gone." ”

Speaking of which, Ted. Turner slapped the armrest of the sofa unwillingly, "This trick that was originally surprisingly successful has put the three major TV networks at a disadvantage, but I didn't expect this change to happen, it's really hell." ”

"Murdoch's News Corp. can be said to have expanded to the extreme in the newspaper field, and I think he will not let go of the TV network as a media battleground in the future."

Tang Huan looked at Ted with a smile. "When the time comes, you'll not only have to deal with the crackdown of the traditional big three TV networks, but you'll also have to deal with Murdoch's competition. I have to say, you still have a leisurely time, I'm afraid it's hard to have it again. ”

"I'm pretty laid-back?" Ted. Turner pointed to his nose and asked dejectedly.

"What, do you think my analysis is unreasonable?" Tang Huan spread his hands and asked rhetorically.

"You're always the most reasonable one." Ted. Turner stood up, paced back and forth, and finally stopped, stared at Tang Huan and said, "At the same time, you are also the one with the most means." Go ahead. Do you have any good suggestions? ”

"I said it. If you don't listen. Am I not wasting my saliva in vain? Old God Tang Huan picked up the cup on the ground and took a sip.

Ted. Turner's eyes rolled a few times, then he smiled, "I see, you say, can't I listen to your command?" ”

"Okay, I'll share my plan with you." Tang Huan coughed lightly and then spoke eloquently.

"What, you're going to give $100 million to the United Nations?" Ted. Turner stood up again in surprise.

"It is given in two years. It's still bearable. Tang Huan nodded and looked at Ted. Turner was fussing, and he couldn't help but complain secretly, "Look at what hurts you, it's not your money." Besides, this $100 million is not a drop in the bucket compared to the $1 billion you donated to the United Nations in the 1990s. ”

"I want the name of the United Nations, whether it's an observer. Humanitarian aid is a Chinese phrase. The division is famous. Tang Huan explained carefully.

"Good spirit, good handwriting." Ted after calming down. Turner exclaimed, "It's a blessing to work with such an interesting friend as you. ”

……

Tang Huan was just about to go to the United Nations headquarters in New York, and his uncle Han Anyuan, who was studying at Columbia University in New York, hurriedly came over and asked with a serious expression: "What is it worth your risk, you know, after all, it is a warring area, and there are too many uncertainties." ”

"Tang Wenmao is looking for you?" Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and did not answer the rhetorical question.

"It's all a family, and he cares about you from his cousin's point of view." Han Anyuan sat next to Tang Huan, hugged his shoulders like he did when he was a child, and continued to persuade sincerely: "Think about it, wealth, beauty, now you don't lack anything, and you are young, enjoy life, what are you doing in that kind of place where birds don't." ”

"Uncle, it's not like your style to say this kind of thing." Tang Huan affectionately punched Han Anyuan, "I don't enjoy what you said, but for me, fame and achievement are more exciting." ”

Han Anyuan stood up in annoyance, pointed at Tang Huan's nose and scolded: "You are indispensable everywhere, you kid don't you have a good life, don't you make nonsense!" ”

“nozuonodie,whyyoutry?” Tang Huan made a joke disapprovingly, but it really angered Han Anyuan, and he raised his foot and kicked this nephew who didn't listen to persuasion.

Tang Huan jumped away with agility, and just ran to the door, just when he met the assistant handing over the satellite phone, "Miss Deng called." ”

Although the call quality of this device was not complimentary, Tang Huan still heard Deng Lijun's crying voice, "Can you not go to such a dangerous place." ”

Tang Huan frowned, and said in his heart that this Tang Wenmao had really a lot of actions, and he even notified Deng Lijun, who had already gone to Paris.

Originally, according to the plan, Deng Lijun sent the $1 million that Tang Huan won because he found the Titanic, plus the $1 million that Tang Huan himself took the initiative to add, a total of $2 million, to the United Nations Children's Fund in New York, and then began to talk to PolyGram about English records.

It may be that the loss of more than 200 million US dollars in the United States in the past two years has been too big, and Polygram, which has hurt its vitality, has greatly reduced its business ability on the premise of taking the initiative to cooperate, and has not shown enough sincerity in the level of record production.

In this way, Deng Lijun, who didn't want to be a pure money-making tool for the other party, refused to cooperate.

At the same time, the album released by United America, which contains three orchestral pieces and "MyHeartWillGoOn" sung by Deng Lijun, has unhurriedly entered the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 album chart.

At present, Deng Lijun's record contract is signed with Hong Kong Polygram and Japanese Polygram, so she has no deliberate promotional plan in the United States.

Even so, the American media began to pay enthusiastic attention to the flagship singer of Chinese music.

Deng Lijun, who was familiar with dealing with such scenes, was a little overwhelmed, so she went to Paris.

This year's concert has not yet started, and Deng Lijun wants to choose a costume there, which can be regarded as avoiding the disturbance of the American media by the way.

But Deng Lijun still couldn't relax, and began to worry about Tang Huan again.

"This trip is not as serious as Tang Wenmao said, don't worry, I have my own measure. ...... obediently" Tang Huan was patient and comforted Deng Lijun.

I have to say that compared with Deng Lijun's delicate feelings, Christina is a lot rougher.

The female boat king said with a grin: "My dear, the newly built ocean cruise ship is now docked in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, and when you pass, it will sail to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, on the opposite side to wait." ”

After Tang Huan handed over the satellite phone to his subordinates, Han Anyuan sighed and said, "Since I can't persuade you, then I'll follow you too." ”

Tang Huan hesitated for a moment, and Han Anyuan immediately narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and asked, "You're not very sure, then what does it matter if I follow!" ”

"Alright, then let's go together." Tang Huan nodded stubbornly.

Han Anyuan's expression slowed down, and he asked in a low voice: "Even if we want to find the excitement of fame and achievement, we must have a clear goal, you quickly explain to me the bottom of this trip." ”

……

The United Nations, of course, could not sit idly by in the dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom, and even Peru and Switzerland were involved as third-party mediators.

On April 3, the day after Argentina sent troops to the Falklands, the United Nations Security Council passed SCR502, calling on Argentina to cease fire and withdraw its troops from the Falklands.

But to paraphrase UN Secretary-General Peres. In de Cuéllar's words, efforts for peace have not worked.

The attitude of international public opinion towards this is nothing more than dividing into those factions.

Most Latin American countries support Argentina, with the most glaring exception being Chile, which has had border clashes between the two countries since the 1970s.

Although General Pinochet of Chile and General Galtieri of Argentina were both dictators, they did not sympathize with each other.

The former feared that in the event that Argentina defeated Great Britain, it would be a serious threat to Chile in return.

As a result, Chile provided "extremely important" assistance to the United Kingdom. For example, as long as the Argentine Air Force flew together, the British fleet in the open sea would receive an early warning notice from Chile.

Only the powerful side has the capital and the confidence to play the trick of being a latecomer.

As an old democratic country, it was invaded by a military dictator, and Britain won support and favor, and most European countries fell to it.

Following Argentina's full occupation of the Falklands on 4 April, the European Community agreed on 10 April to begin trade sanctions against Argentina.

U.S. President Ronald Reagan and the U.S. administration considered that the United States was a member of the Americas, so they did not directly condemn Argentina diplomatically, and maintained the so-called neutrality in diplomacy.

However, based on the relationship between history and culture, the United States also secretly turned to Britain to provide satellite intelligence for it.

At this stage, the international situation is like this, and the United Nations is often helpless against war except to provide a place where everyone can quarrel with each other.

Thus, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Perez. De Cuellar was stunned by Tang Huan's $100 million, and secretly wondered, we professional diplomats are helpless, what are you going to do as a billionaire. (To be continued......)
