Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 685 The end of the war

  The debt crisis has led to an increase in domestic inflation in Argentina, followed by a direct impact of currency devaluation.

  Money is worthless, prices have risen, and ten yuan can only buy things that used to be five yuan.

  The devaluation of the Argentine currency is naturally a bad thing for the Argentine people and the country, but it is a good thing for the financial giants.

  Argentina is a large country with a population of nearly 50 million, and it has been independent for such a long time, from the eighteenth century to the twentieth century, with a gap of more than 200 years.

  You must know that Argentina is quite rich in domestic resources. During World War I and World War II, just selling resources was enough for them to accumulate a lot of money.

Although Argentina is as deep in debt as other Latin American countries, the camel is bigger than horses. After all, Argentina is one of the old big countries in South America, and it is also a developed country. Than.

   While the atmosphere in Argentina is high, uh, yes, the atmosphere is high.

  Contrary to what everyone thought, the Falklands War broke out. Not only did the Argentine people not worry, but they were extremely excited, as if they had been beaten with blood.

The full name of the Malvinas Islands, also known as the Falkland Islands, is located on the Atlantic Ocean close to the South American continent. .

  Ma Island is mostly mountains and hills, and the plain area is not large, but the marine resources here are very rich, and the minerals are mainly iron, aluminum, silver, coal, oil and so on.

  In 1975, the information provided by a British scientific expedition showed that the Falklands' 200 billion barrels of oil reserves and a large amount of oil and natural gas are higher than the North Sea Oilfield, the largest oil and gas field in Europe.

   There is a saying, 'There are many people who are popular right and wrong'.

   Actually, this land is the same.

Especially after the first oil crisis, the price of oil in the world has risen, and all the sheep in the Middle East have taken this to wrap up. The 200 billion barrels of oil reserves are stored in front of their own homes. If this place belongs to the United Kingdom, it does not matter Yes, but Falklands used to belong to his own home, and was later robbed.

  Can you tell me, can the Argentine people be happy?

   If a politician is in power, in order to take into account the overall situation, it is okay to endure it.

   No matter how the world changes, it is always a big deal. Compromise is one of the essential skills of politicians, and all politicians are good at this.

  Although the United Kingdom is not as big as before, it is no longer the empire where the sun never sets, but the camels are bigger than horses, and no matter how weak they are, their ancestors are richer than ever. Internationally, they are still strong.

  One of the five permanent members of the United Nations. He holds high-end nuclear weapons and weapons. Most people are not good at pouting at others.

   Compromise is a necessary skill for politicians, but definitely not for soldiers.

  The Argentine military government believed that it had occupied the Falkland Islands, and the United Kingdom was so far away that it was impossible to fight in the ocean.

   Of course, even if you come, it will be fine. There is a war at your doorstep, and the United Kingdom is so far away, you are afraid of a hammer.

Argentina is cheering for the retake of the Falklands from top to bottom, and the atmosphere is unprecedentedly high. The domestic stock market and the British stock market plummeted on the contrary. After occupying the Falklands, Argentina's stocks rose across the board, especially in the energy sector, which could not be stopped. .

  After the oil crisis, oil and natural gas are synonymous with the dollar. With 200 billion barrels of oil, any debt crisis is not a problem at all.

   Now all eyes in Argentina are on the Falkland Islands and on the UK. If you don't take the opportunity to make a big fortune, it will be easy to strike.

   Of course, this kind of big fishing must not be done too much, let alone too conspicuous, it must be covered by financial giants.

   For this reason, Yang Chen deliberately found two American banks, Citi and ****, and it was not that he had not thought about doing nothing but finding a British bank that cooperated with them directly.

   But thinking that the Argentine military government was so cunning, he gave up the idea of ​​​​cooperating with the British bank, and instead cooperated with Citi and ****, two great American banks.

   For cooperation with Yang Chen, the two banks have no hesitation. Goldman Sachs is doing the listing work for Yang Chen's game company in full swing.

  Yang Chen's game company makes more money, others don't know it, financial giants like Citigroup and **** can't be ignorant.

   Therefore, they were not at all surprised that Yang Chen was not optimistic about Argentina, and was going to **** a tube of blood on the other side.

   Not only cooperated, but also went into battle in person, ready to cut meat directly on Argentina, Uncle Sam played a hooligan, that really can’t be stopped by anyone.

   Both sides are arranged, Yang Chen is also happy to relax, after dealing with Australia's affairs, he will return to Xiangjiang to pretend to be dead.

  Different from procrastinating and bullshitting in the past, the United Kingdom unexpectedly united for a while after hearing that the Falklands were occupied by Argentina.

   Not only declared war on Argentina for the first time, but also reacted immediately, gathering warships across the country to form an ocean-going fleet, heading directly towards the Falklands.

   Faster than ever.

Throughout April and May, the international Tsushima dispute was divided into three types of attitudes. One was that the European and American countries supported the United Kingdom, the other was that the third world supported Argentina, and the other was that they didn’t express their opinions, just stood by and watched. .

  The first two types of countries both support the countries they identify with in different ways. Those who stand on the side of Argentina are naturally South American countries, while European and American countries basically stand on the side of the United Kingdom.

   For the United States, a Falklands island is not worth its care at all. The strategic focus of the United States is to contain the development of the Soviet Union, and European countries are the most important allies to contain the Soviet Union.

   Therefore, the United States has always stood with the United Kingdom.

   At the end of May, seeing that it was impossible for Britain and Afghanistan to stop the war, the United States suspended the export of all military materials to Argentina, banned the issuance of military sales licenses to Argentina, and suspended commercial credit companies from providing guarantees to Argentina.

   At the same time, France, the strategic partner of the United States, also deliberately delayed the delivery of military weapons to Argentina. The attitude of the two powers, the United States and France, surprised and indignant Argentina.

   lost the support of the United States and France, and the polar bears who opposed the United States were too far away to give support, so the entire battle was the same as the previous life.

   In mid-June, the Anglo-Ama Islands War, which lasted for more than 70 days, came to an end.

At the cost of less than 300 dead, less than 800 wounded, less than 100 captured, and a total of more than 1,000 casualties, the United Kingdom wounded and killed less than 2,000 Argentines and captured more than 10,000 people. , won the final victory of the war.
