China News Service, June 29. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), a few days ago, an anonymous public found a secret document from the British Ministry of Defense at a bus station in Kent, England.

This nearly 50-page document not only revealed that the actions of the British destroyer "Defender" in the Black Sea waters were carefully planned decisions, but also involved highly sensitive suggestions on British military operations in Afghanistan.

　　According to reports, these documents were discovered the day before the "Defender" incident.

　　On the 23rd, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the destroyer of the British Navy "Defender" crossed the Russian border during its activities in the northwestern Black Sea that day. Russia denounced the United Kingdom for not passing the border as a "routine" and was forced to fire warnings to stop its violation of the border. Drive it away.

　　The British Ministry of Defense subsequently denied that the warship was fired and expelled by Russia in the Black Sea, and stated that the ship was "passing through Ukrainian territorial waters harmlessly in accordance with international law."

　　The document found in Kent confirmed that the passage of the disputed area was a carefully planned decision by the British government to show support for Ukraine, although the move may be risky.

　　According to the report, some of the contents in the document are related to the Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer. The British Ministry of Defense described the mission as "passing through Ukrainian territorial waters harmlessly." During the operation, the weapons were covered and the ship-borne helicopters were put back into the hangar .

The document explained that this was done because Russia might respond violently when carrying out the mission.

　　The document also revealed that British officials had prejudged which route would be adopted and what potential reactions would be triggered by Russia.

　　Documents show that British officials have previously known that the "Guardian" sailing route may cause Russia to react; but if the British ship is diverted, it may be interpreted by Moscow as "British afraid/fleeing."

Another part of the document states that the last voyage route taken by the "defenders" "provides an opportunity to interact with the Ukrainian government...within the Ukrainian territorial waters recognized by the United Kingdom."

　　Even when they were drawing up a military action plan, they also anticipated disputes over different reports of the incident.

　　The document also pointed out that "we have a strong and legal rhetoric"-the presence of reporters (from the BBC and the Daily Mail) on the destroyer "provides an option for independent verification of the actions of the Defender." .

　　Jonathan Bill, a reporter from the BBC, was on the "Defender" at the time.

He once reported that the Russian side issued a hostile warning via radio, and the crew of the "Defender" also prepared for a possible conflict.

　　However, the content of this classified document goes far beyond that.

In addition to the "Guardian" incident, the document also involved a number of sensitive diplomatic and military content such as the United States and Afghanistan.

　　In a document labeled "Only Viewed by British Intelligence Officers", it outlines highly sensitive recommendations for British military operations in Afghanistan.

　　The document mentioned that the United States requested assistance from the United Kingdom in relation to the withdrawal of troops stationed in Afghanistan. It also discussed whether to retain British special forces in Afghanistan once the withdrawal is completed.

　　In addition, the document warned that any subsequent presence of the United Kingdom in Afghanistan is assessed as vulnerable to attack, so "the option of complete withdrawal still exists."

　　Due to the high sensitivity of the document, the BBC did not report details that could endanger the safety of the British and other personnel in Afghanistan.

　　On the other hand, the documents found also included a briefing on the 21st Anglo-U.S. Defense Dialogue Meeting, and observations on the first few months of U.S. President Biden’s tenure.

　　The BBC pointed out that a missing document covers such a wide and important area, and it is very rare. Therefore, it is a serious and embarrassing incident for the British Ministry of Defense.

　　John Healy of the British Labor Party said he was surprised that the documents could be released from the Ministry of Defense.

He hopes that the British Secretary of Defense Wallace will quickly complete the investigation and report to the House of Commons this week to assure the public that no military action is threatened.
