Mashima is 250 nautical miles from strait of magellan, a key waterway between the South Atlantic and the South Pacific, 276 nautical miles from the Argentine mainland and 7,000 nautical miles from the British mainland. It has a cold climate, swampy islands and poor biological resources, but its strategic position is extremely important. It is not only the only way to communicate the traffic between the two oceans in the southern hemisphere, but also many harbors formed by the long and tortuous coastline constitute the most important base of Britain in the South Atlantic. During the two world wars, the British navy used this base to control the sea power in the South Atlantic. In recent years, Tsushima Island has become a frontier base for developing Antarctica, and its position is even more important. Coupled with the discovery of submarine oil in 1980s, the sovereignty dispute among Britain, Afghan and Tsushima Island became more and more fierce.
Speaking of the sovereignty dispute between Britain and Tsushima Island, it is long-standing, long and complicated. 1592, British john davis discovered the island, but Portuguese Gomez thought it was 1520. 1690, John Strong, an Englishman, discovered the strait between the East and West Islands and named it the Falkland Strait, so he named the islands the Falkland Islands. /kloc-At the beginning of the 8th century, a large number of French people came to the island one after another, which was called the malloy Islands and later transformed into the Spanish Malvinas Islands. 1764, the French established a settlement in the East Island, 1765, the British established a settlement in the West Island. 1766, Spain bought the East Island from France for 250,000 pounds. 1770, Spain sent troops to occupy the West Island. 18 16, Argentina declared its independence and claimed to inherit the sovereignty of Spanish Tsushima Island. Britain occupied the West Island in 1832 and the East Island in the following year. Since then, there have been many negotiations on the sovereignty of Britain, Tsushima Island and Afghanistan.
1982 in February, the negotiations between the two sides broke down again in new york. Argentina began to prepare for the recovery of the Falklands by force and formulated an action plan codenamed "Rosario".
1982 March19, 39 workers from an Argentine company came to the south island to dismantle an old whale processing factory, and the workers raised the Argentine flag on the island. Britain immediately protested strongly. On March 24th, the British navy icebreaker Patience, with two helicopters and 140 soldiers, went to the South Island for deterrence.
On March 26th, Argentine President Galtie ordered the implementation of the "Rosario" plan ahead of schedule. Two destroyers, two frigates, 1 tank landing ship, 1 submarine, 1 icebreaker and 1 supply ship formed the 40th amphibious task force, and set out from belgrano to recover the Falklands. 1 The supply ship and two platoons of marines formed the 60th amphibious task force formation, set out from Desai Addo Port to recover the South Island, and also formed the 20th task force formation with 1 aircraft carrier, four destroyers, 1 frigate and 1 tanker to provide campaign cover. The commander-in-chief of the operation is Lieutenant General osvaldo Garcí a, commander of the 5th Army and commander of the Malvinas Theater.
On April 10, the 40th amphibious formation arrived in Tsushima Island. At midnight, the reconnaissance team of Albanian Marine Corps landed at Cape pembroke. The next morning, the frogmen landed at York Beach. At 6: 30, the main force of the Afghan army landed in Longke Bay and immediately occupied the airport and port. At 8: 30, seven C- 130 transport planes of the Afghan army transported more than 3,000 reserve troops, bringing the total strength of the Afghan army on the island to 4,000. At nine o'clock, the British Governor of the Falklands led 1, 8 1 officers and men to surrender. The Afghan army occupied the Falklands, established an administrative organization, and appointed Brigadier General menendez as the military chief of Falklands.
The news that Afghan troops recaptured Falklands reached China, and the crowd was very excited. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the "May Square" in front of the presidential palace, singing the national anthem and shouting slogans to celebrate the victory. More than a dozen political parties across the country unanimously expressed their support for the government's actions. President galtieri's prestige has reached its peak.
After learning that the Falklands were occupied by Argentina, Britain immediately announced that it had broken diplomatic relations with Argentina, established a wartime cabinet with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as the highest decision-making body, and formulated a multi-pronged strategic policy of politics, diplomacy and economy backed by force, forcing Albania to withdraw its troops. If Argentina does not give in, it will take back the island by force.
