Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Seeing the leader, Captain Hawke, playing so crazily, the wingman pilot was naturally not to be outdone. Pilots belong to the military aristocracy, and the British tradition is still well maintained; many pilots have aristocratic ancestry. We can't say that they are playboys, but they still do pranks.

The wingman pilot who had just been transferred from the mainland also wanted to play tricks on an Argentine navy. Let Captain Hawk take a good look at his skills and strength.

So he just pulled the plane down and started to dive downward; when he was approaching the warship, he suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane and flew towards the sky. It was precisely because of this action that completely angered the Argentinians. If they can tolerate this, how can they face the domestic people?

In the opinion of two British pilots, the anti-aircraft weapons on Argentine warships have a lower chance of shooting down a jet than buying a lottery ticket to win the jackpot.

But what they don't know is that the Argentine warship has Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.

Seeing the British's continued provocations, the Argentine Navy decided to launch a counterattack.

Then they took out four Stinger missile launchers, two missiles and one aircraft; with the capabilities of the Stinger missiles, the British would definitely not feel comfortable.

When the United States and the Soviet Union sold weapons to foreign armies, most of them would eliminate some high-end configurations; the weapons and equipment that buyers finally got were what everyone often calls the "monkey version." Only some basic functions are retained, and the United States and the Soviet Union generally dismantle all high-tech items. The M1A1 main battle tank, which was sold to the Middle East by the U.S. military in later generations, was beaten to pieces by extremist groups when it was first used. It also had some mechanical failures at every turn, causing Arabs to complain. Do you think the United States is crazy about making money, and is here to earn their repair fees?

There is also the Soviet Union, which is not much better than the United States; the "monkey version" T-72 tank, which is popular in the Middle East, is also beaten to pieces by RPG rocket launchers at every turn. However, the United States and the Soviet Union did not hide this. They admitted that these foreign trade weapons and equipment were indeed castrated, on the one hand to reduce costs; on the other hand, they were afraid that high-end technology would be leaked. The self-use version is generally much higher-end than the foreign trade version, and it seems to have become a self-evident rule in the international arms sales market.

If it was a castrated version of the Stinger missile, maybe the British fighter jets could still escape; but now it is a high-end product smuggled directly from the US military warehouse.

As the country with the strongest scientific and technological strength in the world, its weapons and equipment can definitely be more than 20 years ahead of other countries. Although Britain is an ally, a lot of technical information cannot be leaked to them.

In addition, U.S. weapons and equipment are not sold to everyone, and the main targets of arms sales are always those countries that are more cooperative; even allies. Of course, some small arms will fall into some uncontrolled countries, but this basically does not involve the leakage of high-tech military technology; after all, the number is very limited.

But one thing Americans can guarantee; since the Falklands War began, not a single weapon has been sold to the Argentines; not even a bullet.

Besides, the traditional purchaser of Argentina's army is the French, but because the war was directed to the United Kingdom, the Argentines no longer trust them at all.

Perhaps we can only purchase some weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. Of course, this is also a key surveillance target of the British intelligence agency.

In fact, Soviet weapons and equipment were transported to Argentina through the Black Cloud Group; but no one would have thought that Bao Zixuan would do business with the Argentines.

The Argentines have imposed sanctions on Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan for many years. The investigation report of British agents shows that there are indeed some black cloud products for sale in Argentina.

But the scale is very limited. First of all, it is expensive; Argentinians cannot meet the consumption level. Secondly, most of them are smuggled to Argentina through Brazil and are not officially authorized by Heiyun.

This is also the reason why the British feel relieved about Bao Zixuan. As long as they don't get together with Argentines, let him do everything else!

Seeing his wingman having so much fun, Captain Hawke was naturally not to be outdone. He had just been transferred from China and must have felt that his flying skills were very impressive. Let him see how big the gap is today.

Seeing Captain Hawk dive at such a low altitude, the wingman pilot's competitive spirit was instantly ignited. They are all young people, and they think that their driving skills are no worse than Captain Hawke. At the same time, they also want the Argentines to have a good look at the style of the Royal Air Force of the British Empire.

How could the Argentinian soldiers stand it when they saw two British planes and humiliated them like this?

The captain knew that shooting down a British plane at this time would inevitably cause diplomatic disputes. But they have no other choice and must defend the honor of the military.

During the Falklands War, the Argentine Navy failed to do a good job in peripheral protection; its control over the waters surrounding the Falklands was quite weak. If you have an advantage but fail to take advantage of it, you will naturally be punished.

The British army encountered almost no decent resistance when it arrived at the Falklands; it successfully blocked the waters near the Falklands. Argentina's failure to prepare for war is not the most terrible thing; what is terrible is that it did not take this established power in its eyes from the beginning; it underestimated Britain's military capabilities.

In terms of armaments, the gap between the two sides was not as big as imagined. Of course, British nuclear submarines played a great role in the war. This also allowed the world to see the power of nuclear submarines. In Argentina's naval philosophy, there is indeed no anti-submarine strategy. But Argentina also has an equipment advantage; that is their missiles. Argentina's most outstanding performance in the war was its air force.

Most of the Argentine Air Force was trained in Germany and has very good combat capabilities; most of its equipment is imported from France. Among them, the Exocet missile has become a nightmare for the British; I have to say that Argentina is so proud, but it still has some capital.

The Exocet missile embarrassed the British Navy in this war, and winning the war had a lot to do with luck. If Argentina's two Exocet missiles did not accidentally hit the wrong target, assuming that Argentina could have more Exocet missiles, it would be difficult for the British Navy to escape unscathed.

Generally speaking, the equipment of both sides has its own specialties; the British responded quickly in the early stage and was fully prepared; at best, it can only offset Argentina's favorable weather and location. It was also the main factor in the fierce fighting between the two sides before. The British side was also hindered by the supply line; however, the turning point in the war must be the internal problems of the Argentine army.

In modern warfare, coordinated operations by sea, land and air are often emphasized, especially the battle for islands; it is not a matter of a single arm, as was well proven in the Falklands War.

The Argentine Air Force sank many British warships in succession, and even the British main aircraft carrier was almost destroyed. But the problem is that the United Kingdom not only controls the main air power, but also shows its sea control and landing operations, making Argentina unable to respond.

The Argentinian navy was quickly defeated in the initial probing attack and was unable to cause any difficulties to the British navy thereafter. The most bizarre thing is the army. Argentina has more than 10,000 troops stationed on the Falklands; even though the United Kingdom tried its best, it only invested more than 3,000 troops.

However, during the war, the Argentine Army not only failed to cooperate with the Air Force; it effectively attacked the landing enemies and even surrendered inexplicably despite having an absolute numerical advantage.

The Army is basically the largest army of any country in the world. In addition, President Galtieri is the commander-in-chief of the army, so he must be taken care of.

In addition, the Army has made it clear that it is not that they are incapable of fighting; it is that the Navy cannot provide them with effective help. How can soldiers alone fight against missiles and cannons on warships?

The Air Force itself has great military exploits, but it really cannot be ignored. As a result, for a long time after the war failed, the Argentine people vented their anger on the Navy.

It was they, cowards, who did not dare to confront the British directly, which caused the war to fail and the Falklands to be taken away by the British.

It can be said that in recent years, no one among the young people in Argentina is willing to become a navy; apart from being a street rat, everyone shouts to beat him up, and his sense of existence is very low, or even non-existent.

It has been tied to cowards. If no changes are made, mentioning the Argentine Navy will only become an international laughing stock.

With his men all watching, the captain knew a decision had to be made. Then the order was given: "Launchers No. 1 and 2 are to attack the British lead aircraft. Launcher Nos. 3 and 4 are to attack the British Air Force wingmen. Launch immediately after receiving the order."

"At the same time, reload immediately. The honor and disgrace of the Navy will depend on this."

As a soldier, he naturally understood what it meant. Everyone was holding back their strength; they had long wanted to fight the British to the death.

If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, you will not only be sorry for the country, but you will also have no way to explain it to your descendants in the future.

Soon the four Stinger missiles were loaded, and the British were seen diving downward again.

The Argentine Navy immediately turned on the radar device on the missile; the operation of the Stinger missile is very simple; not to mention the regular Argentine army, even extremists with little education can master it quickly.

Captain Hawk felt something was wrong. The passive radar showed that it had been locked by the missile; but there were no other warships nearby. He was still very confident about this. There was a ship approaching; he would definitely not be able to escape the radar on the fighter jet.

What's going on? Is it an illusion?

Captain Hawke was not given too long to think before the missile was launched. Two missiles are flying towards the fighter jet, and they must be evaded at this moment.

Even though the whole body is made of metal, fighter jets are very fragile in the air. Not to mention being hit by a missile, even hitting a bird will bring great safety risks.

Captain Hawke might be able to evade it, but his wingman wouldn't have such good luck.

At this time, he was diving towards the Argentine warship, and others directly hit the muzzle of the gun; the British military plane directly hit the flying missile.

In less than two seconds, there were two explosions in the air, and the plane disintegrated in the air; the pilot did not even have a chance to escape, and it was reduced to ashes.

Seeing his wingman being blown up directly, Captain Hawk knew that there were individual anti-aircraft missiles on the Argentine warship. But now is not the time to think about why they have such advanced weapons and equipment. The top priority is to avoid missiles.

Fly upward with full afterburner and release decoys at the same time. The chance of successfully recovering from being locked by a missile is low, but no matter what, you have to try; otherwise, not only will the aircraft be blown up, but your own life may also be in danger.

In the vast sea, there is no need for the Argentine navy to come and catch you; sharks may want your name.

You must avoid missile attacks at all costs.

Although they have been exposed to Stinger missiles before and have a basic understanding of technical participation; what the British military does not know is that the Americans also have a hand in them.

The intelligence held by the British, or the Stinger missile used, is also an export version, with only about 7 layers of the most realistic combat performance.

In addition, the previous flight altitude was very low, and the Argentinians fired two more salvos. Combining various factors, a missile soon caught up with the aircraft piloted by Captain Hawke.

The right wing was directly knocked off, but fortunately it could be controlled as much as possible; but another missile quickly hit the target, and the left wing also suffered.

The missile launched this time did not know what happened, but it directly knocked off the wings of the aircraft. Even an eagle cannot fly normally after its wings are broken; let alone an airplane.

Seeing the falling plane, Captain Hawke did not hesitate; he ejected directly from the plane.

Both planes were shot down, and the soldiers on the Argentine warship cheered.

Seeing that a pilot had successfully parachuted, a recruit immediately took out his rifle and prepared to send the British to the West.

Seeing soldiers preparing to shoot at the pilot who abandoned the plane and parachuted out, the captain quickly stopped them. No joke, if you do that; Argentina's international image will only get worse.

After the fighter plane was destroyed, the pilot could only abandon the fighter plane and parachute to escape. But when the pilot is hanging on the parachute and landing slowly, he will not be attacked by the enemy. During the course of the war, there was an unwritten rule among the armies of various countries around the world; that is, once a pilot parachuted, he could no longer shoot at him.

In fact, parachutes have appeared a long time ago, but the foldable parachute was only invented during World War I; World War I was also the beginning of humans using aircraft on the battlefield. However, the world leaders during World War I were still European countries, and Britain was still an empire on which the sun never set. The British Air Force was called the Royal Air Force, and most of it was restricted by chivalry and maintained the arrogance of a gentleman.

Even if the British equipped pilots with parachutes at that time, many people were unwilling to use them; in the eyes of chivalrous pilots, they would rather die in battle than surrender. In addition, there was a big gap between the technological level at that time and now. When World War I happened, parachutes were not as advanced as they are today. The pilot does not have any automatic ejection device when using the parachute; it needs to be operated manually. Parachute operations cannot be performed until escaping the cab; therefore in using the parachute, the pilot has lost the weapon capable of causing damage to the enemy.

At the same time, international regulations stipulate that surrendered soldiers are prisoners. Once soldiers are unable to continue fighting and become unarmed civilians, they should be protected and given preferential treatment. Parachuting pilots are also treated as surrendered prisoners and deserve to be treated as prisoners.

It can also be used as an exchange for prisoners of war, etc. In short, a living parachute pilot is more valuable.

Of course, there are some countries that dare to risk the world's disapproval, but in the end their own results are not very good; even miserable can best be described as miserable.

Therefore, after the Second World War came to an end, the "prohibition of shooting parachuting pilots" was included in the Geneva Convention; parachuting pilots were regarded as surrendered prisoners. This unspoken rule also got rid of the days of no status and became a binding rule for all parties. a treaty between countries.

Even if they hated the British, they could not attack the parachuting pilots; the soldiers did not dare to make mistakes after hearing the captain's order. It can be regarded as a successful resolution of some crises, otherwise it will only aggravate the seriousness of the situation!

I've been watching the World Cup recently, so sorry! We will try our best to maintain stable updates in the future!
