Chapter 647: We still abstain
It was supposed to be a new year, and it was less than ten days after Christmas, and just when the British were still in a festive atmosphere, the coalition forces on the expedition to Iraq came with such bad news, which is not necessarily a good thing.
John Major, the new prime minister of the Conservative Party, is a terrible face, and quickly convened a cabinet meeting as soon as he received the news, obviously the new prime minister who only took office in November last year, and now he should be full of ambition, but now he has a confused look, and his frowning brows give people a sense of the loess plateau-like ravines, only the eyes in his eyes still exude the appearance of the leader of a world power at this time.
I glanced up and down at everyone in the conference room, and made sure that everyone who should have come had come, and there was no more one who should not have come, which was: "Not long after receiving the news, our naval fleet on an expedition to Iraq has been subjected to a shameful sneak attack by Iraq, so I must tell you the bad news that the aircraft carrier Ark Royal has sunk!" â
Bad news is bad news after all, as soon as it was announced, a cabinet minister almost cowered under the table in fright, and the British aircraft carrier was sunk, which was worth it. The country is not about to have a falling out, and when he thinks of the parades on the streets, the Minister of Defense can only wipe his sweat again.
Immediately afterwards, the results of the investigation from Britain's powerful intelligence network were put on the table: "This is all the information we have gathered now, not only our Britain, but also the American fleet has also been attacked in large numbers, they have lost two frigates, and one destroyer, cruiser, and aircraft carrier each were injured, and the attack was launched by Iraq's J-74 multi-role fighters, and the weapons used were C-801 anti-ship missiles that they purchased from Huaxia." â
At the mention of the serious damage to the American fleet, the whole conference room breathed a sigh of relief, although the British bulls did not want to admit that the American Navy was more than a little stronger than the British Navy, but now they were extremely happy: even the more powerful American Navy had suffered heavy losses, and the British Navy would not be too embarrassed to lose the battle now.
"Well, we still have a problem, that is, the J-74 fighter purchased by Iraq, which uses the Blue Fox radar that we sold to Huaxia in 83 to manufacture related technologies, and it is precisely because of the powerful sea attack capability of this radar that we are now in a passive situation, so we must solve this problem now!"
The Minister of Defense naturally thought of this for the first time, and it seems that he wants to divert everyone's attention to this aspect, which is really a good calculation.
However, these things still depend on the final decision of the prime minister, and John Major does not plan to focus on guiding the people to vent their anger to China, after all, it will also involve many military companies in Britain that sold technology in the past.
Moreover, now that things have happened, it is also not in the interests of Britain to make relations with China more rigid in order to reduce domestic pressure.
I also had a little contempt for the Minister of Defense who I had just promoted, but I don't know if I felt that I didn't know anyone, but he explained with a kind look on his face: "Forget it, if we want to divert the anger of the domestic people, we have many ways, and we can't make it more stiff to make the already not good relationship with Huaxia." â
"The experience of the Falklands naval battle has taught us that adequate preparation is essential to win the war, and even now that this has happened, it is all the more obvious that we should make up for it. Immediately contact Huaxia and ask them to provide information about the C-801 missiles used by Iraq, so that our remaining fleet in the waters of the Persian Gulf can be safe. â
The person who is worthy of becoming the prime minister chose a decision that was more favorable to Britain after weighing the pros and cons at the first time, but this brings us to another question, will the Republic announce the performance of the trump card meritorious weapon in its hand? This seems like a question worth considering
Not to mention the follow-up reaction of the British side, but the United States is now furious, once upon a time the navy with strong rice grains suffered such a great humiliation, even the Soviet Navy did not reach this height, and little Iraq dared to be so presumptuous, and it really turned the sky upside down.
Bush certainly couldn't swallow this breath, when he rushed to the United Nations, demanded that all the co-members be gathered, and slapped the table and demanded that the multinational force be authorized to start an attack on Iraq immediately.
"Iraq's behavior is very dangerous, attacking the US naval fleet is a naked declaration of war against the United States, and now I once again ask for a joint authorization for the multinational force to launch an attack, otherwise I will order the US ** team to launch a separate attack on Iraq in the name of the US president!"
Which one of you sitting here is not a well-informed person, the representative of the republic to the United Nations must also know what good things Iraq has done this time, and he really feels secretly refreshed in his heart, but this time the matter also involves the republic, and the republic, which originally did not have much sense of zĂ i in the United Nations, now has to stand up after all.
"We regret the attack launched by Iraq and express our gratitude to the United States and Britain that have been damaged this time."
Just this tone, how familiar it feels, I don't know how many times it has said it, isn't there a new line, anyway, this incident is not trivial, do you look down on me for the British Emperor when you speak without changing a word?
"Rabbit, shut up, this time it is because you have sold a large number of military weapons to Iraq, especially a large number of anti-ship missiles, that we have suffered huge losses, and now you must make a statement, you can no longer abstain from voting on this multinational attack on Iraq. It's really infuriating! â
The U.S. imperialists haven't slapped the table yet, but the angry British Niu Niu took the lead in smashing the bench, I don't know if this is a code? Anyway, the atmosphere of the scene has changed with a brush, but I don't know if there is really an ambush outside, in case this Britain is really crazy, it is not worth it.
For a while, the ambassadors of the other members of the Security Council were all staring at the side of the Republic, not to mention the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and even the Soviet Union, which had always been at odds with NATO countries, nodded and watched the follow-up developments, and four of the five hooligans were staring at it, not to mention the other ten non-permanent members.
Seeing that the situation is like this, and considering that the losses of the United States and Britain are so heavy this time, I also know that this time I can't escape.
As the representative of the Republic to the United Nations and the first Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, at this time, I can only do my best to ensure some of the final bottom line interests, and some interests that cannot be won can only be counted! This is also something that can't be helped, the limelight of J-74 this time is too big.
"Well, we believe that the United Nations can appropriately authorize the multinational force to intervene in the issue of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, but we still do not say anything about the multinational force's attack on Iraqi mainland, and we still abstain!"
