"Dozens of crew members were killed. According to the Vietnamese official who found the bodies, they were shot by bullets, and the bodies were full of holes!" Looking at the headlines on the front page of the newspaper, everyone present was stunned.
"This is complete nonsense. This is not World War II. Aircraft, especially fighter jets, are all jet aircraft. There are no machine guns on them. At worst, they are all cannons.
When hit by a 20 or even 30 mm cannon, a person is turned into powder, but there are still holes. This is obviously deceiving people, lest the world not be in chaos. "
When Mrs. M was angry, she tore the newspaper in her hand into pieces.
In movies, villains or supporting characters are often deceived for the sake of storyline, making seemingly childish mistakes.
But in the real world.
Mrs. M, the Lord of the Admiralty, and James Bond are all elites among the elites. How can they be deceived by newspapers like ordinary citizens? It is obvious at a glance that the news in the newspapers is deliberately fabricated to fan the flames.
"Sir, this news was leaked by you." Looking at the Minister of the Navy, Mrs.
"How is it possible? How could I leak the news? Moreover, the news is so false that it only deceives ordinary people." The Minister of the Navy shook his head, indicating that he did not do this.
"No matter who leaks this matter, we will be in big trouble. Once this report comes out, we will have no choice." The general in charge of intelligence reminded everyone.
"How many troops do we have now?" asked the Lord of the Admiralty.
"In order to recover the wealth lost in the HSBC vault robbery, we sent more than 30 warships to East Asia to search, but after nearly two months of searching, nothing was found.
Most of the warships have returned to the mainland for repairs. Currently, there are only one guided missile destroyer and two frigates in Southeast Asia. Such a small number of troops is definitely not enough.
As for the number of warships to be dispatched, I think it should not be less than that of XX, or even the entire army would be dispatched. "The general said.
"No less than that time in XX, which means we have to send at least two aircraft carriers and dozens of warships." The general's words made the Minister of the Navy very embarrassed.
"Yes, sir!" The general nodded firmly.
xx war!
After the news that Eagle occupied xx and captured Niu Niu Governor and soldiers reached Eagle Kingdom, it caused an uproar in various fields and the people were talking a lot.
I think this is the kind of injustice that Eagle Country has never suffered before in its history, and it must be retaliated.
So the Iron Lady, who was the Prime Minister at the time, ordered the dispatch of troops with the support of the people.
However, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets declined too much after World War II, and its naval strength was no longer what it used to be.
Even with all their efforts, they only dispatched a fleet with two aircraft carriers as the core, namely the "Sports God" and the "Invincible".
Among them, the only pure aircraft carrier is the "Invincible", and the "Sports God" has been converted into an anti-submarine aircraft carrier.
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though it was in serious decline, the Eagle Army still dispatched forty-three Royal Navy warships, twenty-two logistics ships and sixty-two requisitioned civilian merchant ships to form a task force.
Among them, in order to transport soldiers to land on the Falklands, the Eagle Army also commandeered a luxury cruise ship called the "Canberra" to carry thousands of soldiers.
】
This was the temporary fleet formed in this way. On April 5, 1982, with the whistle of the aircraft carrier, the task force consisting of 127 ships left Portsmouth Naval Port and headed for the Falklands in a mighty manner. .
After about ten days of sailing, we arrived at the Malvinas Islands in mid-April 1982, and the Battle of the Falklands officially broke out.
Fortunately, the Eagle's army is strong on the outside and weak on the outside, with only a few anti-ship missiles, otherwise...
Teach the Eagle a lesson that he has to dispatch so many warships to win, and face the more powerful Rabbit...
"The dispatch of so many warships requires the approval of the Prime Minister. I will report to him immediately. William, if the fleet is dispatched, how long will it take to reach its destination? Can ten days be enough?"
asked the Lord Admiralty.
"Ten days is too short." The general mentally estimated the distance and shook his head: "The distance is too far. Even if the fleet can take the Su Yinshi Canal to reach its destination, it will still take more than ten days to sail. In addition, many warships still need to sail. During the renovation, it will take about ten days to assemble.
Taking into account the intermediate supplies and repairs, it will take about a month to reach the destination. , said.
Compared to the Falklands, the location of this conflict was further away from the Eagle Country. Fortunately, there was the Su Yin Shi Canal, otherwise, just marching would have driven the crew crazy.
Back then, why did Tsarist Russia lose to Japan, whose national power was far inferior to its own?
The main reason was the labor expedition.
Especially the Navy!
Because of the mischief of the Eagle Kingdom, the Tsarist Russian fleet was not allowed to pass through the Suinz Canal, forcing the powerful Tsarist Russian fleet to spare a large circle of the African continent, directly turning the fat into thin, and the healthy into sick.
After arriving in East Asia, the Japanese were stupid and waited for work, and the entire army was destroyed.
With examples like Tsarist Russia in the past, the Eagle Expedition Fleet does not dare to be careless and must do logistics work well before departure.
"Mrs. M, you have one month to conduct the investigation. If we can't find the mastermind by then, we will be in trouble." The Navy Minister looked at Mrs. M and reminded him, and then left the headquarters accompanied by the general. He was ready to Go to Chinatown to report to the Prime Minister.
"I think the Carver Group is very problematic." After leaving the headquarters and looking at the familiar streets outside, Bond said, sitting in the passenger seat.
"What's the problem?" Mrs. M asked.
"I just contacted my friends in Saigon. They found the bodies of the murdered crew members three hours ago, and "Tomorrow Daily" had already delivered the newspaper to thousands of households four hours ago. This is too fast. .
What’s even more strange is that the Vietnamese did not say at all that the crew members were killed by xx. How could "Tomorrow Daily" be so sure that it was the work of xx? It is obviously abnormal. I doubt them. "
Mrs. M was his old superior, and they had known each other for more than ten years. Bond didn't need to hide anything from her, so he told her his guess.
"Do you know the Carver Group?" Mrs. M changed the subject.
"You know, the Carver Group is not only the owner of "Tomorrow Daily" but also the world's largest media group. Its boss Carver is not only the most famous media tycoon in the world, but also the second richest man, second only to Lei Weidong of Xiangjiang.
Of course it is on the surface, but behind the scenes there are too many predators, just like several major consortiums in the beautiful country, who knows how much money they have. "
"On the surface, the world's second richest man is already very powerful, especially Carver. Although he is not as rich as Lei Weidong and has more influence than Lei Weidong, except because he is white, he is more popular in Europe and America than Lei Weidong. National welcome.
And because he is a media tycoon, he can influence the discourse. "
Mrs. M said very seriously, "To put it bluntly, if Carver is willing, he can destabilize the political power of a small country through reporting.
"Have you discovered anything by talking so much?" Bond asked.
"There is news that I did not tell the Lord Admiralty and the General. When the Devonshire accident happened, those mysterious signals came from the communications satellites owned by the Carver Group.
I am going to ask you to investigate whether this incident was caused by the Carver Group.
Remember to keep it top secret. Carver and the Prime Minister are good friends. If the Prime Minister knew that I asked someone to investigate Carver, he would definitely kill me. "m laughed at himself somewhat helplessly:
"Things all happened in East Asia. I'm going to combine the two tasks of investigating Xiangjiang into one. When you go to the East, do these two things together." Mrs. M ordered.
"Okay, can I go to Xiangjiang now?" Bond asked.
"Go to Hamburg first. The Carver Group held a cocktail party in Hamburg to celebrate the launch of their new communication satellite. You can check the intelligence to determine whether the Carver Group caused the warship to deviate from the course, and how they did it.
"Leave this matter to me. I can get it done for you in just a few days. By the way, go to Xiangjiang and get Lei Weidong done." Bond made an OK gesture, indicating that everything was fine.
"I have some information to tell you." Mrs. M continued: "The Carver Group has broadcast rights in many countries around the world and controls local public opinion, but not in the mainland.
In order to enter the mainland market, the Carver Group thought of many ways. It even acquired a satellite TV station in Xiangjiang and prepared to enter the mainland under the name of Xiangjiang, but was rejected. "
"There are also things in the mainland. It seems that I have to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible." Bond said with a smile after taking the passport and new identity handed over by the female assistant.

Xiangjiang!
"The stock market has fallen again today, and it's still plummeting. It seems that there will be queues on the rooftop again. I don't know how many people have committed suicide!" Looking at the curve of the stock market on the computer screen, the direction of the plummeting three thousand feet, Lei Weidong thought in his heart A moment of silence for our bankrupt compatriots.
"It is impossible not to cause panic when such a big thing happens. The news about Gui Lao has added fuel to the fire. The situation is now more serious than it was in 1983. If there is no good news, the stock market will continue to fall."
Jian Huizhen shrugged, came to the window, and looked at the scene outside through the window.
Compared with some time ago, there were many fewer pedestrians on the street. Everyone was hiding at home and did not go out. Even if they went out on the street, they would walk in a hurry, giving people the feeling of being in a hurry, as if a dog was chasing behind them.
"Don't worry, this is a very strange incident. It's too sudden. There is probably someone behind the scenes. We just need to find them out." Lei Weidong
"Brother Dong, do you mean that Black Hand directed this incident?"
"right!"
Lei Weidong nodded and said, "I believe the higher-ups in the mainland and London have guessed it. Agents like 007 have probably been dispatched. I don't know how deep the black hand is hiding and when it will be dug out."
"If we find out the culprit, the matter will be over. Brother Dong, do you think we should invest more?" Jian Hui's eyes lit up as she thought about the house prices that had been cut in half and then discounted.
"Of course we can't let go of such a good opportunity."
The biggest benefit this crisis has brought to Lei Weidong is that he can do more with less money.
Originally, due to the economic crisis, the Hong Kong stock market fell by 40%, and house prices were nearly halved.
It's finally stabilized recently and I'm starting to slowly adjust.
Something happened again!
When "Tomorrow Daily" published the fabricated fake news.
The Hong Kong stock market and property market exploded.
The stock market fell by 30% in just one morning and barely stabilized until the afternoon.
But when London announced that it was preparing to send troops, the stock market collapsed!
In just a few days, many stocks that were originally priced at ten yuan fell by one or two yuan, which was even worse than that in 1983.
Not to mention bankrupt people.
Because so many people committed suicide, the entire police force was overwhelmed and dizzy.
Of course, there is not without good news.
Under the threat of war, the value of many industries fell to rock bottom.
A property originally priced at 10 million Hong Kong dollars can now be sold for 3 million. Even if you pay US dollars, you can get it for less than 300,000 US dollars.
If we sell it now, it will no longer be 100% profit, but more than ten times the profit, which is more profitable than selling washing powder.
"Director, Miss Yang is here." Just as Lei Weidong and Jian Huizhen were discussing how to mobilize funds to buy more properties at the lowest price, the secretary called and reported that Yang Jianhua was here.
"Sister Yang, why do you have time to come here? Such a big thing has happened. Shouldn't you be so busy right now?" He invited Yang Jianhua in and asked his secretary to get him a cup of coffee. He saw the expression on his face. A little serious, Lei Weidong started teasing.
"I came to you because the matter was too big." Lei Weidong teased. Yang Jianhua, who knew his character, was not angry. He first said hello to Jian Huizhen, and then gave Lei Weidong a pair of eyeballs.
"Do you know anything about the Devonshire?"
"Of course I know. It's such a big deal. Not to mention me, even the aunt sweeping the streets knows about it." Lei Weidong nodded and replied:
"However, Sister Yang, you have gone too far in asking me for this matter. I only have some strength in Xiangjiang, but I am far behind the country outside. My little arms and legs cannot afford to participate in the affairs of xx, so you should do something else." Please be smart!"
Knowing that Yang Jianhua did not go to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason, and even helped him count the money when he was sold out in order not to be bullied, Lei Weidong lowered his profile and kept doing the misfortune.
"Don't worry, I'll ask you to do everything within your reach."
Faced with Lei Weidong's misfortune, Yang Jianjun laughed a few times and said in a serious tone, "I'm looking for you because of the matter in Xiangjiang. The situation in Xiangjiang is a bit chaotic now and people are panicked. This is not in the interest of the country.
I hope you can stand up and stabilize people's hearts, just like during negotiations, let everyone dance and run, and the Devonshire incident will not affect the stability of Hong Kong.
Xiangjiang is still the Pearl of the Orient, so there is no need to worry about the future of Xiangjiang. "
"Sister Yang, don't worry. If you don't say anything, I will do it. Asia Television and the newspaper under my name will fully cooperate with Xinhua News Agency. I was born and raised in Xiangjiang and have feelings for this place."
"As long as you say this, I will arrange for people to connect with you and stabilize Xiangjiang as soon as possible. In addition, about..."
"Stop, Sister Yang, didn't I say that I will not participate in the xx incident, I..."
"Really? I heard that I am the special envoy of Mr. Gui..."
