Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 694 A Hero Three Gangs

  Many people in later generations regarded the Falklands War as 'the afterglow of the empire on which the sun never sets'. A Falklands War revealed the weakness of Britain's military strength to the world without a doubt.

  In the 20th century, the United Kingdom, which once occupied the most colonies in the world, had basically lost all its overseas colonies except for small islands of more than 200,000 square kilometers in the mainland.

   In the Falklands War, the reason why the UK acted so fast was simply that it did not want other countries to see the weakness of the UK, and that the party headed by Margaret Thatcher was facing the next general election.

  If the British government chooses to remain silent in the Falklands War, then in the next general election, Mrs Thatcher's party will naturally not be in power.

   Therefore, both internal and external factors contributed to the British use of force against Argentina.

  Although the Falklands War caused Britain to break out an unprecedented speed of war mobilization in a short period of time, the process and results in the middle were obviously not gratifying.

  Britain was overly conservative and was beaten, but in the end it didn't even take any decent revenge. The Empire, which once fought all over the world and was invincible, showed a completely different attitude when facing the war again.

  As a later generation, Yang Chen is very aware that the UK has long been a strong outsider, a proper paper tiger,

   Of course, a dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

   The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

   Britain once looked down on it for more than a century. In the end, the United Kingdom survived the brutal wars of World War I and World War II.

   Most of the countries in Europe have been abused by Germany over and over again, leaving the UK alone, time and time again, together with European and American countries, to crush Germany again and again.

   The five words 'Empire on which the sun never sets' are not a vain name.

   In later generations, even the US imperialists, known as the global police, have not reached the heights that Britain once had. In the age of the charter king and others, everyone still has a fear of Britain.

   Knowing this, Yang Chen immediately continued: "The war is cruel, the British not only did not benefit from it, but because this war exposed its own weakness.

   Let’s think about it, the British once launched a war, didn’t they gain huge benefits after the war ended?

   However, in the Falklands War, the UK not only did not gain benefits, but instead paid huge military expenditures.

The fundamental reason why the Falklands War broke out was that the United Kingdom was not tough enough to resolve disputes, which made Argentina mistakenly believe that the United Kingdom did not dare to do anything with them and did not dare to conduct ocean-going operations.

  The Falklands War was initiated by Argentina, and the United Kingdom was a passive challenger. Although the result of the war was a victory, the British did not dare to step into the mainland of Argentina.

This shows what? It clearly shows that Britain is too weak to sustain the war.

   World wars like World War I and World War II, which lasted for several years, can never appear in Britain. The empire on which the sun never sets is already lonely, and their former colonies have become independent.

   And we have seen for ourselves that after the independence of the British colonies, Britain did not start a war for it.

   This was the case with India and Australia earlier. Now it is the turn of Xiangjiang, a small Xiangjiang. As long as the inland side is a little stronger, it is impossible for the British to launch a war that is destined to be impossible to win. "

   "You know, the inland is not easy to mess with, there is a lesson from the United States, any country in the world, as long as it is not stupid, it is impossible to take the initiative to provoke the Oriental Lion who has woken up..."

   Everyone was shocked by Yang Chen's words.

  No one thought that Yang Chen would not only make money at a young age, but even now he can see the international situation so accurately and thoroughly.

  'Evilman'

   This is the only thought in everyone's mind right now.

   These people in the world of Xiangjiang, although they can be regarded as one of the richest and most important people, but looking at the world, they are really not much.

   "A small Xiangjiang is not worth fighting for the UK. There is absolutely no way for the two sides to negotiate and compromise."

   "And I believe that the last compromise party will be the United Kingdom. Maybe the inland will pay some price for this, but compared with the return of Xiangjiang, no matter how much the price is, it is worth it."

   "We, in the end, are still the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the return of Xiangjiang is inevitable. How should you choose next? I think the uncles who are sitting here should know."

   "As for what everyone is worried about, I think the great man made everything clear when we went to the interior last time."

   "Now the inland has put everything aside and vigorously developed the economy, which has actually given us a very good opportunity. There is a market of one billion people, and there is no shortage of resources, land and people.

  The inland market is vast and has far-reaching prospects. Uncles and uncles should see it more clearly than I do. "

   "Now the inland infrastructure is very poor, and everyone is reluctant to invest, but what I want to say is that there is no free lunch in the world, and there will be returns only if you pay.

  If we don’t go now, when all the foundations are laid in the inland and the policy is further opened, have you ever thought that when we enter, the competitive pressure will…”

  …

   Yang Chen said this, nothing more than to change the views and concerns of the bigwigs present on the mainland.

  The big family of Xiangjiang in the previous life, the big consortium did not start to invest in the inland on a large scale until after the return of Xiangjiang.

   At that time, as more and more people went to the sea to do business in the inland, the Hong Kong businessmen who were more than ten years late, in the end, except for a few real estate, other industries were almost completely abused by the inland businessmen who rose later.

  Xiangjiang's huge financial wealth in the early days, except for the real estate used to raise Xiangjiang, hardly brought any substantial benefits to the inland.

  Most of the big conglomerates in Hong Kong are trapped in real estate, and they have become accustomed to the huge benefits brought by high housing prices, thus giving up those industries that require increasing innovation.

  Unfortunately, even in the real estate industry, because Hong Kong companies are too conservative, they are squeezed out of the inland market bit by bit by inland real estate developers.

   Now, whether he likes it or not, he is already a part of Hong Kong businessmen. Whether it is now or in the future, he is tightly bound with Hong Kong businessmen.

  Everyone, whether externally or internally, is both prosperous and detrimental.

   He does not hope that a group of Hong Kong businessmen will only be in the real estate industry. Only by truly entering into all walks of life and fully involved in the inland economic market can the status of Hong Kong businessmen be guaranteed in the future.

   A hero with three gangs, he doesn't think he can be so powerful that he doesn't dare to provoke anyone, especially in a place like the inland.
