These changes in the British army after World War II are full of sad tears, and the dignified empire where the sun never sets is actually mixed into what it is now, and the senior generals feel ashamed.

Let's take the present as an example, it is also an old industrial country in Europe and a developed country with a GDP of more than $1 trillion, and its military spending has been cut year after year, and the number of civilian personnel has not been reduced, but there is a serious shortage of personnel in combat positions.

It is embarrassing enough to say that the Royal Navy sold the conventionally powered aircraft carrier Invincible, five Type 22 frigates USS Coventrie, HMS Burseer, HMS Courage, HMS London and HMS Sheffield, four Type 42 destroyers HMS Birmingham, USS Newcastle, HMS Glasgow, and HMS Cardiff, and three Type 23 frigates USS Norfolk, USS Krafton, and USS Marporo to the mercenary corps for $50 million, in order to reduce expenses and exchange funds to make up for the financial deficiencies.

"I understand what you mean that in order to defend the interests and security of the United Kingdom, it is necessary to increase military spending, and in fact I personally agree with this proposal, but unfortunately, most parliamentarians do not see it that way, and think that keeping it at 2 per cent is enough, and I can't do anything about it."

"If my guess is correct, you must have been well prepared to provoke this topic, and hopefully this is a reason that will convince me of the majority of the councillors." Mr. Prime Minister, of course, does not think that today is just a rehash of the same old tune, that there is no point.

"We are waiting for a top-secret piece of information from MI6, obtained from the Argentine Ministry of Defense, which, according to the agents on the mission, has threatened the interests of the United Kingdom, oh, here comes the people!" The Minister of Defense said, looking at the door of the conference room.

MI6 is actually the abbreviation of the Sixth Intelligence Bureau of the British Army, formerly known as MI6, and later expanded into the Intelligence Bureau, and the KGB of the former Soviet Union, the CIA of the United States, and the Mossad of Israel, known as the world's four major intelligence agencies.

According to this information, the Argentine Navy ordered a 56,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier with a single-ship island through deck with steam catapults from the shipyards of the mercenary regiment, powered by two large steam turbine engines, twin-shaft twin-propeller propulsion, and 24 Shield Guardian 1 carrier-based aircraft. Together with the newly ordered Shield Defender-2 carrier-based aircraft and vertical take-off and landing fighters, the strength of the Navy will get a big leap.

Two 36,000-ton battleships, with conventional power drive, have quadruple 406 mm naval guns and missile vertical launch systems in the front, missile vertical launch systems and helicopter decks in the rear, Kashtan artillery integrated short-range defense system and triple torpedo launch systems on both sides, and helicopter hangars below.

The four 6,000-ton missile destroyers have four eight-pack general-purpose missile vertical launch systems in the front and rear, capable of launching 64 cruise missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-ship missiles, and each has a triple-mounted torpedo launch system on both sides, in addition to the Kashtan projectile and artillery integrated short-range defense system, and four US Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines are scheduled to be leased.

The Argentine Air Force has ordered 24 Shield Defender-1 road-based fighters, 10 Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, and 20 An-70 tactical transport planes from the Haidongqing International Aerospace Group, and is preparing to purchase 72 Shield Defender-2 single-seat twin-engine supersonic stealth all-weather multi-role roadbed fighters from the Mercenary Corps.

"You have indeed found the best reason this time, Argentina's active expansion of the navy and air force will definitely be detrimental to the Falklands, which means that Britain may usher in another war, and the matter of increasing military spending cannot be delayed! I will communicate with the MPs in advance on this matter, and as long as their minds are still in their right minds, they will definitely agree. The prime minister said.

"At present, the naval elite secretly sent by Argentina is following the mercenary regiment naval fleet for internship, and by the way, they are also familiar with their new warships, in fact, two missile destroyers have been built, but they have not been publicly delivered to the Argentine Navy, and the construction of aircraft carriers has also begun at the Cam Ranh Bay Naval Shipyard, and carrier-based aircraft pilots are trained at the aircraft carrier training base in Ukolan, including pilots of the Air Force, and we are running out of time." said the Chief of Staff of the Navy.

The mercenary corps is no less capable of shipbuilding than the United States, and has ten large shipyards, three of which can manufacture aircraft carriers, and as the number of ships increases, the technology will become more sophisticated, and the speed will become faster and faster.

The British government cannot blame mercenaries for this matter, Argentina has such qualifications, as long as it can afford the price, the military industry of the mercenaries does not refuse customers, and similarly, the British Navy has also ordered 120 single-seat, single-engine stealth supersonic vertical take-off and landing all-weather fighters.

"The VTOL model in the fifth generation fighter, the mercenary corps received too many orders, a total of more than six hundred, according to the time of signing the agreement, it will take almost two years to build the first batch of twenty-four for us, thirty-six for the third year, thirty-six for the fourth, and twenty-four for the fifth."

"During this period, the aircraft carriers Ark Royal and Radiance also need to undergo large-scale modernization, and the current equipment is too backward to match the cutting-edge electronics of the fifth-generation fighters, which means that for at least four to five years, we will not be able to go to sea to fight, lose the protection and strike of carrier-based aircraft, and it will be difficult for the fleet to resist the attack of the Argentine army." The Minister of Defense made a judgment on the current situation.

The Invincible-class aircraft carrier belongs to the light aircraft carrier, which belongs to the product of twenty years ago, the British Navy is underfunded and has no money for upgrades and modifications, and after the purchase of the world's most advanced fifth-generation fighters, the performance of electronic equipment is too far behind, and a major operation must be undertaken.

"Two proposals, one is to buy strategic bombers from the US government, Argentina has ten Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, which is a big threat to us, only American B-1B strategic bombers can protect the security of the Falklands, and we can use the airfields in the British Virgin Islands as a front line for bombing the Argentine army."

"Second, Wu Chen, the third largest shareholder of the mercenary corps, is in London right now, and we can negotiate with him to let our pilots get in touch with vertical take-off and landing fighter operations in advance, and go to the amphibious assault ships of the mercenary corps for internship, so as to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and it is worth giving more money." said the Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

"I agree with that, you can get in touch with this legend, but fortunately it's not the vampire of Marcus this time, otherwise the spending will make the Chancellor feel distressed." The Prime Minister had a headache when he thought of Marcas, who had come to buy a warship last time.

Don't look at the age of the goods, but the heart and means are much more powerful than senior politicians, and the bargaining is particularly ruthless, those modern warships sold by the British have simply become broken copper and iron in his mouth that no one wants for nothing, he also has that capital, the mercenary corps navy uses Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, and Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, Nima, is this comparable?

A whole bunch of reasons poured down and smashed down the chief of staff of the Navy, really sold it for a cabbage price, almost crooked the nose of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and in another country, these warships could be sold for two or three times the price.
