Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In the end, Bao Zixuan went home alone, but what Bao Zixuan didn't know was that Austin Dupont, who was highly skilled in driving, had been following him. For a professional racing driver, it was easy to track the vehicle without being discovered.

It can be said that Austin-Dupont has become involved with Bao Zixuan, and his current role is equivalent to the secretary of Bao Zixuan. At least that's the case these days. Neither of them talks about the sports car. It just depends on who can't stand it first.

At this time, the waters of the Malvinas Islands, thousands of miles away, were even more lively. The British task force and the Argentinians finally met in the waters of the Falklands, and the war was about to break out.

Similar to the process in its previous life, the Royal Air Force first stationed itself at Widiawick Air Force Base on Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean, including the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.2 fighter-bombers responsible for escort and the Vulcan bombers of 44 Squadron, and a A fleet of Victory aerial tankers; the difference is that this time the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft also stationed at the air base. Meanwhile, a Royal Navy task force arrived in the waters of Ascension Island to prepare for war.

The Xiangjiang Monster was soon assigned a combat mission to recapture South Georgia Island. The British army's first combat mission fell on Major Paulson who came from Xiangjiang.

In fact, this also means that they will become cannon fodder. Logically speaking, in order to boost morale in the first battle, the most elite soldiers must be selected. However, in order to make the Xiangjiang monster look embarrassed, the arms dealer insisted on handing over the task of seizing the island to the troops from Xiangjiang. Their equipment and training can only be considered second-rate in the UK, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong.

The commander has no choice but to follow the wishes of the domestic arms dealers. Sometimes it is troublesome if there are too many interests involved. Even now, the people in the country are still in their nests. If the British Empire loses the war, they will not let these people go easily.

Soldiers have obeyed the duty of fame and fortune, even though they know that their commanders may have evil intentions. However, this was also an opportunity to prove himself, so Major Paulson cooperated very well and accepted the combat mission.

Paulson took 500 British soldiers and flew to South Georgia Island in a ground-effect aircraft at night. This time he wanted to miss the Argentinians.

After assigning the combat missions of each team, the ground-effect aircraft began to accelerate when it was still 3 kilometers away from the island. It can be said that before the Argentine army had fully reacted, the Xiangjiang monster had already arrived beside them.

One is for alerting, and the other is for hovering to release people. Argentines saw Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft for the first time. And the most important thing is that this monster can also shoot down. The Xiangjiang monster is equipped with a thermal imaging system and infrared night vision device, making the Argentinians almost invisible.

In just one face-to-face encounter, the troops led by Major Paulson took control of the situation. Under the powerful search ability of the Xiangjiang Monster, the Argentinians were either wiped out or surrendered, but they achieved a great victory in the first battle without any effort.

In this battle, the Argentine army on South Georgia Island was completely destroyed, with a total of 305 casualties, and more than 400 people chose to surrender. The British army suffered only 2 casualties, so it can be said that the victory was very easy.

Major Paulson became famous in one battle. No commander in the history of the British army could win with such a disparity in casualties; it is a rare miracle in the history of world wars. His achievements have been filmed into various film and television works for later generations, and he has been in the limelight in China for a while. However, Major Paulson knew that he was nothing without ground-effect aircraft. The enemy was mainly killed by ground-effect aircraft attacks. He felt extremely honored to be able to command two ground-effect aircraft in combat.

What surprised Major Paulson even more was that his father, who had always looked down upon him, personally called him and told him to pay attention to his safety and not to worry about domestic matters. No one could take away his credit.

The British prefer aristocratic spirit, and officers are generally held by nobles; in this battle, even the Queen's second son, Prince Andrew, participated. Now a nobleman's son showed the majesty of the British Empire in the first battle, making the people in the country very confident in the next battle.

For the first time, the top brass of the British military felt the terror of ground-effect aircraft, which can be said to be absolutely powerful weapons for near-ground assaults. It seems that we still need to increase the purchase order. This kind of weapon is too practical. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is nothing compared to the results achieved. The British-American military sharing allowed the Americans to get the news immediately, and investment in the research and development of ground-effect aircraft also increased accordingly.

Domestic arms dealers have begun to play tricks on it again, in order to prevent the ground-effect aircraft from being too eye-catching. The commander is asked to try not to send Xiangjiang troops on missions in the next battle.

Commanders who are inextricably linked to domestic arms dealers can only be manipulated by others. They know clearly that this is not good for the British Empire, but there are some things they can no longer control.

In this way, the troops coming from Xiangjiang began to rest and recuperate, and the commander began to mobilize other troops to fight against the Argentines. Major Paulson is not a person who knows good and bad things. It is impossible for him to take all the credit alone, so he has no objection. The main reason was that his father, who was far away in London, had already explained the interests to him, so he accepted everything so calmly.

The British army began to meet the Argentines at sea. At this time, the battlefield had all moved to the sea and islands. In this life, Bao Zixuan had already arranged for Valenko-Ustinov to transfer many individual missiles from the Soviet arsenal to Argentina. He had advanced all the money, but the Argentines didn't know it. This also put the Harrier fighter, whose design was not very reasonable, in bad luck, and the battle damage ratio greatly exceeded the British army's estimate.

Basically, the Argentines deploy one anti-aircraft missile per squad, specifically to attack British helicopters and low-altitude aircraft. The British were also a little confused at this time. After the war actually broke out between the two sides, the international community had banned the supply of any weapons to the warring parties. It can be said that this is obviously biased in favor of the British. They can basically produce their own weapons. However, for the Argentinians with a weak industrial base, the production of guns and ammunition may be so-so, and missiles are simply impossible to produce. So who transported the weapons to Argentina? The main job of MI6 at present is to investigate this matter.

MI6 has been in bad luck recently, and it was their judgment that the Argentines would not attack the British troops in the Falkland Islands. London provided them with intelligence and judgment to make the deployment, but it turned out that the intelligence was useless. The Argentines had occupied the Falkland Islands, which had caused senior officials to question their capabilities.

Now that the Argentines suddenly have so many individual anti-aircraft missiles in their hands, they don’t know who transported them and how many they were; what use is there for such an intelligence agency to keep them?

All I know is that the report said it was a Soviet-made missile and the plane was shot down. Even if MI6 didn't report to the frontline commanders, they still knew that the weapons were produced by the Soviets. What's the use of reporting them now?

The full name of MI6 is the British Army Intelligence Bureau Six. Together with the Soviet KGB, the US Central Intelligence Agency and the Israeli Mossad, it is known as the "four major intelligence agencies in the world". The Western intelligence community regards MI6 as the "grandfather" of the world's intelligence agencies and the most efficient intelligence agency in the world. From the early days of Elizabeth's creation to the present day, it and its predecessor, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service, originally the Overseas Intelligence System, the British intelligence agency, have been kept strictly confidential.

It was such an institution that had become the laughing stock of the British Empire, at a time when all intelligence agents deployed in the Americas were actively investigating the origins of the Argentine weapons. They did not dare to trouble the Soviets and could only find a solution on the Argentines.

If this matter cannot be investigated clearly, who will take them seriously in the future? At this time, Colin Forgues, the director of MI6 who had just taken office, looked at the intelligence officers below and said: "I don't care about you. By some means, we must grasp how many damn Soviet-produced individual weapons the Argentines still have in their hands. If we cannot grasp the exact number, then the frontline soldiers can only use their lives to try and calculate. By then, our MI6 will There is really no need to exist, I hope you can take care of yourself."

Although MI6 has mobilized all manpower, material and resources, and finally found out that there are a total of 1,000 such weapons in the hands of the Argentines, it is still unable to grasp when and how they were transported to Argentina. After all, no one will doubt it. On companies and people who have just been sanctioned by the Argentines. This has always been a puzzle for the British, and it finally became an unsolved case.
