It was indeed exciting to shoot down the British plane, but how to end it was a difficult problem. As a mid-level officer, I had some knowledge of the situation in Argentina at this time. Although a lot of weapons and equipment were smuggled from abroad, including two radars;

And the Stinger individual anti-aircraft missile just used.

But compared with the United Kingdom, the overall strength is still far behind. The Falklands War has defeated Argentina; many soldiers, including him, did not have the courage to continue fighting; but today four Stinger missiles gave this Argentinian

The captain is confident.

American weapons and equipment are really useful. With them, the British want to gain air supremacy; it is basically impossible.

As for sea control, it was not a big problem since it was so close to his doorstep! At the same time, he knew that the navy had purchased many submarines from the Soviet Union.

The idea of ​​​​the Argentine military leaders is very simple. Since the surface ships cannot compare with the British, and the British submarines caused a lot of trouble to the Argentine army last time, they will directly purchase submarines. Even if they cannot defeat the opponent, they can still make sneak attacks from time to time.

It is better than having all the ships docked in the port, so as to avoid people calling them cowards.

After the weapons and equipment smuggled from Japan in the recent period, and the nationwide efforts to purchase some large-scale equipment from the Soviet Union; as long as the British do not use nuclear weapons, it is still unclear who will win.

But these are not things he needs to consider. The top priority is to report the relevant situation to the country.

Let him kill or behead him, but as long as he does it correctly, he will instantly become a national hero in Argentina. Even if the president wants to punish him, he must consider the impact.

Captain Hawke was lucky, there was a British submarine patrolling nearby.

Although the distance was relatively far, it had just avoided in the direction of the Falklands; coupled with the influence of the wind direction, it had already flown out of Argentine territorial waters. After receiving the news that a fighter jet had been shot down by the Argentine navy, the British submarine wanted to fight back directly.

But considering that this place is too close to the home port of the Argentine Navy, if you are not careful, you will never come back.

And the superior's order to the submarine was to pick up the parachuting pilot and make specific arrangements after understanding the situation.

At this time, the British did not dare to make mistakes. The current situation was very unfavorable to the British Empire. Almost all intelligence forces were placed in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union; the Argentines were able to shoot down fighter jets on warships; things were really weird.

If it was an air-to-air missile or a ground-based anti-aircraft missile that shot down the fighter plane, it wouldn't be so stressful. After all, the previous Falklands War has proven that the opponent does have this strength. But it is a bit unbelievable that it can be directly shot down by a warship; could it be that the Argentine Navy

Already equipped with high-performance anti-aircraft missiles, the problem must be taken seriously.

Through the positioning system on the pilot's body, the submarine quickly picked him up; the distance to the Falkland Islands is not very far, and there have been too many cargo ships coming to Argentina recently; the patrol frequency is naturally much higher than before.

The island itself is not very big, and the number of troops stationed there is not large. The naval soldiers on the submarine are no strangers to Captain Hawke. Seeing this proud man in heaven, he is so embarrassed; for a moment, I really don’t know what to say.

Okay. As a pilot, abandoning a plane and parachuting is not a glorious thing; already very frustrated, the submariner did not continue to add insult to injury.

The submarine headed towards the Falklands. As for the Argentine warship, it chose to return to its home port. A small boat produced before World War II really did not have the courage to fight against a modern submarine.

After the Argentine intelligence chief received the information, he couldn't believe his eyes. Only four Stinger missiles shot down two British fighter planes. When did the navy become so brave? The Argentine flag was already flying over the Falklands.

Such a major incident must be reported to Alfonsin; it is beyond the scope of authority.

In recent days, the relationship between the two has become closer. They go on business trips with their boss, which can increase their relationship a lot.

Alphonse smiled and said, "Is there any good news?"

His expression was solemn, but not anxious. This meant that something good was very likely. Could it be that the military was starting to get closer to him.

With the recent period of arms smuggling, the top military officials are very satisfied with the president; in addition, it has been proved countless times before that soldiers are not suitable for politics.

After Alfonsín became president, he tried his best to purchase weapons and equipment from abroad. This shows that he is very serious and at least wants to build a strong Argentina. In this case, there is no reason to oppose him. As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but to prevent others

The human heart must never be empty. As the head of the intelligence department of the Presidential Palace, it is natural that he must monitor every move of the military at all times.

The reason why Argentina has transformed from a developed country to a developing country, and the people's living standards have plummeted, has a lot to do with the political instability.

It's always a coup, and it wouldn't be any better in any country.

Therefore, Alfonsin instinctively believed that the news came from inside the army; and it was good news that would help him continue to serve as president.

The second term is about to end. If the military does not support it, then sorry, the presidency will definitely not be able to continue. However, we must attach great importance to it and absolutely cannot make any mistakes.

As a confidant, of course he knows what President Alfonsin means; but this matter is not a bad thing for this boss.

The director of the Intelligence Division said very seriously: "Just half an hour ago, one of our patrol boats was provoked by the British troops on the opposite side during a routine patrol in our own waters."

"Under desperate circumstances, naval officers fired four Stinger missiles and shot down two British fighter jets."

As the president, I have seen many big scenes; but the news of four Stinger missiles shooting down two British fighter jets was really too exciting; I really didn't react for a while.

The prime minister is capable of sailing, and Alfonsin, as the president of a country, is naturally not that far behind, so he quickly adjusted and said directly: "Is the news confirmed?"

I can't help but worry about what kind of character the British are; I still understand it very well. I want to take an extra three points regardless of the reason. At this moment, the fighter jet is shot down; how can I just let it go?

Once the news is confirmed, you must think of countermeasures; there is no room for hesitation.

At present, Alfonsín does not want to go to war with the British, and victory is easy to claim; but if the war fails, he must bear the responsibility. Such a tough figure like Galtieri will be ousted in the same way.

Besides, with Argentina's military strength, even if the British Empire is in decline, it is still not enough. However, it must be prepared and through smuggling, it already has the power to fight a war. No one knows how long the war will last; at this moment, it is necessary to actively contact the Soviets.

France can't count on it, and the Japanese can be filtered out directly. In the past, there was no problem with small fights for profit. Now that they are directly fighting the British, Japan will never dare to export any weapons and equipment to Argentina.

Even if the British feelings are not taken into account, the American attitude must be considered; Japan does not have the capital to challenge the United States.

The director of the intelligence department said very seriously: "It has been confirmed; not only the warship sent back the news, but two radar stations also successfully detected that a British fighter plane crashed into the sea."

"I don't know what method the Japanese used to transport the US military version of the Stinger missile; the overall performance is 30% higher than the foreign trade version; I guess the British did not expect that we are equipped with the latest single missile in the world.

anti-aircraft missiles."

"The ship is just a small warship produced in Germany before World War II. Its air defense can only rely on a few anti-aircraft machine guns. It is still effective against piston aircraft, but it is not enough in front of jet aircraft."

"It is probably because the British pilots were careless that we seized the opportunity. But we have to admit that the navy has already emerged from the haze of the last war; when it saw the invading enemy, it dared to resolutely fight back."

Not only did the warships send the message, but two radar stations also received confirmation; this shows that the navy did not exaggerate and pretend to be rewarded.

The British have suffered a huge loss, so how can they let it go? At this moment, they must stand on the commanding heights of public opinion. Only in this way can the crisis be resolved.

It is not an easy task for a mute British person to be unable to explain the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.

Alfonsín thought for a moment and said: "Since it is in Argentine territorial waters, the British fighter jets can be defined as aggression, or an act that provokes Argentina's sovereignty."

"Act as quickly as possible to inform the rest of the world before the British do. At the same time, we purchase weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. I don't want to be Galtieri."

As the director of intelligence, of course he understood what the president wanted to express. In less than five minutes, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced to the world through a clear telegram that two British fighter jets had invaded Argentina and been shot down.

At the same time, the incident was reported to the United Nations, hoping to stand up for justice.

It can be said that this move is very beautiful, giving people a sense of preconception! As the defender of the Falklands Islands closest to the Argentine mainland, since the fighter jet was shot down, it immediately increased the monitoring of Argentina. Unexpectedly, the other party actually broke out directly.

, there is no cover-up; although I don’t understand what it means, I must report it to the commander truthfully.

Major General Thompson was very angry. Two third-generation fighter jets were a huge loss to the British Empire, which was not wealthy. Moreover, there were only a few in the Falklands. The Argentines were really ruthless.

But I also knew that now was not the time to be angry. The submarine had already received Captain Hawke. It was better to ask what the situation was before we could take countermeasures.

The incompetence of one general will exhaust the three armies. He must master all the information before making decisions, otherwise he will be irresponsible to the country and soldiers.

At this time, the codebreakers rushed over to report: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a clear telegram, condemning our fighter planes for invading Argentine airspace. At the same time, it was announced that two fighter planes had been shot down. The purpose is self-evident."

As a staff member of the Telecommunications Department, you must always be vigilant. You must be informed of any orders at home and news from the surrounding areas as soon as possible. This is true in any country's military.

Argentina wanted to strike first, but Captain Hawke had not returned yet; the specific details were not very clear.

Major General Thompson: "Didn't you say that Captain Hawke has been received? How long will it take to reach the headquarters?"

The translator seemed to have been prepared for this, and replied directly: "It will take half an hour to arrive at the dock, and it will take at least an hour to get to the headquarters."

Major General Thompson thought for a moment and said: "Let's go to the dock and figure out what's going on as quickly as possible."

The Argentine is clearly generating electricity, so London will naturally know about it; he must give an explanation to Downing Street, otherwise the people will never let him go.

Major General Thompson arranged for a driver to take him to the dock, and at the same time ordered the Falklands garrison to enter a state of combat readiness.

It is still unclear what the Argentinians meant; but the loss of the two fighter jets must not be in vain.

Compared with the loss of two fighter jets, Major General Thompson was more interested in what weapons the Argentine army used to shoot down its own fighter jets.

Although advanced fighter jets cannot be fully produced, as long as the British Empire wants to buy them, no country dares to refuse.

Europe emphasizes overall unified deployment, and the UK has huge advantages in the aviation field; Rolls-Royce is a typical representative. Many aircraft engines are provided by the UK.

The two parties are in mutual exchange and can also play a role in restricting each other.

It is true that fighter jets are expensive, but there is no problem in adding some. But we must first understand the specific strength of Argentina, otherwise no matter how many aircraft there are, there will not be enough to fill it.

After getting off the submarine, he found that the commander of the base, Major General Thompson, was waiting for him; Captain Hawke knew that he could not escape what was coming. As the lead pilot, he failed to achieve any results. He was beaten by the enemy and was forced to abandon the plane and parachute, which also caused the wingman pilot to parachute.

Death in battle. No matter in which country, the crime is not small.

After this incident, you can declare that your military career is over; there is nothing you can do if you don't want to give in. No one can let yourself down.

In an office in the military port, Major General Thompson said directly: "What is the specific situation? Please report it in detail."

"Just half an hour ago, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement of condemnation. It claimed that it was invaded by two British Air Force fighter jets and was directly shot down."

It's a bit like the evildoer complains first, but the Argentinian has nothing wrong with what he said.

It was indeed in Argentinian airspace, so there was no problem at all in calling it an invasion. But they opened fire when they came up without even saying hello; it was not in line with international practice.

Under normal circumstances, if another country's aircraft is found to be invading the airspace, it will first give a warning and ask the other country to evacuate. If it refuses to comply, force can be used to solve the problem.

It was better for the Argentine army to attack directly; they did not give any face, and they really did not take the British Empire into consideration.

In fact, they don’t even think about the relationship between the two countries; humans are very interesting animals, and in most cases they don’t look for reasons within themselves. It’s obvious that they don’t understand the rules, and instead ask the hostile country to reason with you. According to this

Logically speaking, a country that is not strong will be bullied and will never get ahead.

When the commander asks a direct question, he must answer truthfully; he specifically states that the Argentinians have clearly sent the message, and it is estimated that it has spread throughout the world by this time.

Maybe it's a kind of protection, Captain Hawke still understands this very well!
