Chapter 784: Combined Fleet
Britain, how could it be a failure! Although Britain no longer has the demeanor of the empire on which the sun never sets, Britain is still a second-rate power after all! A second-rate power is also a strong country! For example, many of Britain's weapons are developed by itself, and they are considered very advanced in the entire NATO system. Pen? Interesting?

Britain's 105 mm rifled gun is the standard configuration of the entire NATO, Britain took the lead in realizing gas turbines for ship power, and Britain took the lead in developing vertical take-off and landing fighters. If it weren't for the weakening of Britain's national power, Britain would have been able to become a first-class power at any time!
And what about Argentina? There is almost no ability to produce weapons on its own, and all weapons need to be imported, so what kind of power is such a country? For example, they introduced advanced Exocet missiles, but if France refused to export them, they were blinded.
Now, the British naval fleet has failed, and this defeat has caused an uproar throughout NATO, while at the same time, British Prime Minister Iron Lady, and US President Ronald Reagan have a two-hour transatlantic telephone call.
The content of the call is not known to outsiders, but after the call, a high-level meeting was held throughout Western Europe, and when the eight-hour meeting was over, the first decision reached at this meeting was to impose 100% tariffs on goods from the Berlin Wall!
Collect customs duties! When the electronic products from East Germany wantonly occupied the entire Western European market, the electronic product companies in Western Europe entered a desperate situation in an instant, and the products they produced could not be sold at all, even if the price was lowered to the point of losing money, few people cared, because the performance of their electronic products was not as good as that of Eastern Europe!
This is what drives them the most crazy!
In the beginning, the GDR opened only one Brandenburg Gate, but after that, it became the most densely populated area in all of Europe, and some people had to wait in line for two days to pass through it!
In order not to affect traffic, the East German side continued to open new passages, and up to now, there are five passages in the entire Berlin metropolitan area, and at the same time, a total of 20 passages have been opened on the long dividing line between the two Germanys, which has greatly facilitated the exchanges between the two German peoples.
As a result, West Germans came with money to buy electronic products in East Germany, and then got them back to sell, which is already the most common phenomenon, even if they buy it back at retail prices, they can make a lot of money in Western Europe!
But today, these second-class dealers suddenly found that this business could not be continued.
"What? Do I have to pay taxes on these things? This is what I bought back for my wife! My wife said that she had to buy this brand, or she wouldn't let me enter the house. A young European shouted to the West German police checking his bags.
In the past, it was very convenient to travel between the passages, but today, there are several times more West German police on this side of the passages than before, and they have even begun to check the luggage of all the people who come by! The electronics inside were turned out, and then, with the invoice, the traveler was asked to file a tax return.
"Your wife, do you want five Walkmans and two PCs?" The policeman said to him with a blank face.
"Yes, I have to bring it to my wife's colleague, she has already praised Haikou, I have to do it." The European said.
"Okay, as long as you pay the customs duty of 16,000 marks, you can pass it." The police said.
"Why don't you grab the money!" This European, who was actually a second-class dealer, finally got angry and said to the people behind him: "Everyone said live, let's buy something from our own doorstep, do we still have to pay tariffs?" Where does this come from? ”
"Yes, yes!" Most of the people in the back were also second-class dealers, and they became restless together.
"Let's go our own way, go our own!" The second-way dealer shouted while seizing the opportunity, picked up his bag, and was about to run: "Quick, rush together!" Or you have to pay taxes! ”
Everyone cheered up and rushed over, the police blew their sirens, and the riot police were already behind, spreading a new encirclement! I had expected this scene for a long time!
This kind of scene appeared at the entrances of various passages, and the way for the dealers to make a fortune was cut off. At some passages, riots were sparked, and even a second-lane dealer was trampled to death by someone who snatched the exit.
"After the opening of the Berlin Wall, the East Germans, instigated by certain conspirators, maliciously dumped electronics on our whole of Western Europe, and they tried in vain to blow our economy in this way, which we absolutely will not allow!" In the afternoon of the same day, the US Secretary of State, after attending a new round of meetings of the NATO bloc, made a public speech: "Therefore, we have formulated this tariff policy, which is our economic policy for the whole of Western Europe, and it is related to the normal development of our enterprises, and we ask the citizens of all countries to understand our policy, which is a premeditated means of destroying our economy in the East, we have survived under high oil prices, and we cannot fall in this round of electronic dumping!" At the same time, we have set up a special department to investigate the e-dumping case in East Germany and, if necessary, we will initiate legal proceedings to file claims against East Germany. ”
Electronic dumping case! Speaking of which, there is no limit to hooliganism! Up to now, the electronics manufacturers of East Germany have not opened a single sales store in the West at all, and the Western Europeans themselves are the masters!
"At the same time, we have also passed a new resolution to organize a multinational joint fleet, with our aircraft carrier USS America as the core, to go to the Falklands! I hope that the Argentine side will take the initiative to surrender, give up the occupation of the Falklands, and return to the negotiating table! The Falklands are British territory, which is recognized by our entire Western world, and I hope Argentina does not challenge the bottom line of our Western world, we are one! We have the power to thwart any conspiracy! ”
The United States will send an aircraft carrier group, together with some warships from other European countries, to help Britain recover the Falklands, and the entire Western world will unite together to help Britain! This news quickly spread all over the world!
Originally, Germany's tariff policy was already big news, but no one thought that after this news, the United States would be able to throw out such more explosive news! Will the Europeans help Britain fight the war and recover the Falklands? How is this possible? Europeans are not monolithic!
All along, it was the Americans who wanted to fight somewhere, pulling Britain and other European brothers, but this time? It was the United States that helped the British! It was the Americans who mobilized all of Europe to help the British fight the Falklands! Is the United States taking the wrong medicine? Or itchy hands without fighting? (To be continued.) )
