Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth
Chapter 1795: Raid
Seeing that things have gradually gone beyond expectations, Bao Shoufang really doesn't know what to say. He never thought that he had such ability to turn several countries upside down. But things have already happened, so we must face it bravely;
Finding the entry point and how to maximize benefits are issues that need to be considered.
It is inevitable that Britain and Argentina will break out again. Perhaps other countries in the world except Britain hope that the two countries will go to war. Of course, that includes Argentina. Without war, it is impossible for the British to return the Falklands. And Argentina
Fang Xin needs domestic support, and the Falklands is the only entry point.
Whether you want to continue to stay in Japan must be decided as soon as possible. At this time, the identity of Xiangjiang people is still a little embarrassing. Fortunately, Japan has not completely included Xiangjiang in the British sphere of influence; it itself belongs to China, and it will be in less than ten years.
Return; Britain's influence is getting weaker and weaker. In addition, Hong Kong and Japan have frequent trade exchanges, even larger than the trade volume between Britain and Japan. Sanctions on Britain may not matter, but sanctions on Hong Kong; ban all trade between Japan and Hong Kong; Japan
Also have to bear huge losses.
The Japanese have made their goal clear from the beginning, targeting only the British Isles and ignoring the rest. If they really impose sanctions on Hong Kong, they will ignore the other side's counterattack; China will never stand idly by.
It will even cause a chain reaction; other Commonwealth countries will definitely have ideas; even if they unite to deal with Japan, even if they are strong, they will not be able to withstand it.
Even to a certain extent, Japan wants to win over Xiangjiang; as long as it disgusts the British, it can do anything.
The Black Cloud intelligence officer said very seriously: "Boss, Argentina has sent back news that all Soviet weapons and equipment have arrived safely. President Alfonsin is ready to take the next step."
"Although he was the first democratically elected president of Argentina, during Alfonsin's administration, the entire country's economic situation was very bad; the unemployment rate remained high, and it was difficult to guarantee the basic livelihood of the people."
"The support rate has been declining. If no measures are taken, he will definitely not be elected in the next election. In addition, the British are also very tough and require Argentina to compensate for huge economic losses and hand over the soldiers who shot down British fighter jets to the British."
Regarding the situation in Argentina, Mr. Bao knew the situation best; he just didn't expect the British to dare to think about it. You know, they violated Argentine airspace and deserved to be shot down.
Of course, due to strength, it is not impossible to compensate for economic losses; as long as the people of the country are not informed, it will not cause any identity trouble. The Argentine soldiers who shot down the plane can be handed over to the British; it is really too much.
As a soldier, if an enemy plane invades the country's airspace and fails to open fire, it is simply a crime. It can be said that there is nothing wrong at all. Shooting down two fighter jets is definitely a huge credit; it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a national hero.
If Alfonsin, the president, is really to hand over meritorious ministers to the British, then he has really reached the end. It is hard to say whether he will be blackmailed by the military when he goes out.
It will even cause a chain reaction. The hero who shot down the enemy plane will be directly handed over to the enemy. Who else will dare to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future. In case of an incompetent president, the more enemies are killed, the greater the credit; it may be
The more dangerous it is.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Even if Alfonsin is a coward, there is no way he will agree to the British conditions! And he will use this as an opportunity to force the British to take action first. Pay close attention to the situation in Argentina and provide assistance if necessary."
The boss's intention is very obvious, that is, he wants Argentina and Britain to go to war directly. With clear instructions, it will be easy to handle, and there is no need to worry about the rest.
The four submarines sold by the Soviet Union to Argentina were all directly allocated from Fucaira's purchase share. Many submarine instructors received the salary of the richest man.
Although the Argentine Navy also has submarines, it will take some time to quickly form combat effectiveness.
Bao Zixuan did not want both sides to be ready. The British Empire still had too much work to do; if Argentina wanted to win, suddenness was very important.
In accordance with the presidential order, the four submarines began sailing towards the Falklands waters; the two high-performance radars at the rear had already clearly positioned the British warships. After finding their targets, they could directly enter combat status.
The Japanese five-axis CNC machine tools helped the Soviets a lot. In addition, the British warships were too old and the equipment was very backward; naturally they could not find submarines.
While Alphonse was still hesitating, the soldiers on the submarine paid no attention to that; they fired torpedoes directly at the British warship without leaving any room for action.
At close range, attack unsuspecting warships; combined with the powerful performance of Soviet torpedoes. In less than a minute, four British warships attacked the northwest.
It can be said that it was sunk without any preparation.
The sudden blow caught the British off guard. They were very familiar with the Argentine Navy, and the submarine force was dispatched. They could get the news as soon as possible. Now there was no sound at all, only the explosion of one's own warships was heard.
However, in the Falklands waters, except for the Argentines, other countries simply did not have the strength or motivation to actively attack the British army.
Are the Argentines crazy, or did they not get enough of the last beating?
The previous shooting down of a British fighter jet had already made the British Empire very angry; but there was still a step up for both sides. After all, it was a British military plane that invaded Argentine airspace.
Directly attacking British warships silently and causing huge losses is tantamount to an act of war and is the most shameful undeclared war in the world.
No matter how Britain retaliates, it is excusable.
The Argentine submarine, which had taken advantage of it, did not stop there; it soon launched a second round of attacks. The British had only 20 warships of various sizes in the Falklands waters.
It was just three salvos, but no larger British warships were seen on the sea. To describe it as heavy losses may not be enough to explain what the Royal Navy went through.
This directly resulted in the Royal Navy being unable to blockade Argentina in the Falklands waters.
It is not very accurate to say that there are no big ships on the sea. The Argentinians did not take action on the Japanese cargo ship Shinjo. In the future, we still need to obtain support from Japan, and we cannot lose a big deal for a small amount.
Seeing British Royal Navy soldiers scrambling to board the cargo ship Metropolis, the Argentine Navy was reluctant, but for the sake of the overall situation, it had no choice but to retreat.
Seeing the British Royal Navy in such a state of decline, the Japanese sailors were both happy and worried. They were happy to see the enemy being unlucky, even if they did not do it themselves, it was very relieved.
The worry was because the next person to be sunk was probably them. Fortunately, the worry did not last long, and the sea soon returned to calm.
Of course, this is not accurate. The British warships have been sinking, but they have not heard the sound of another attack, indicating that they will not attack them. If they had not seen the British next to them, the Japanese crew would have cheered at this time.
Major General Thompson, the top commander of the British forces in the Falklands, was awakened by the urgent ringing of the phone. Although he was reluctant, he still answered the phone. Recently, the commander of the Falklands garrison has been busy.
First, a British fighter jet was shot down, and they had to report and ask for instructions at home. Two fighter jets were shot down, and it was the fault of the weak Argentine army. There were many people in London who were dissatisfied with him.
Before I could take a breath, I suffered another big stumble on a Japanese merchant ship. It was obvious that the intelligence provided by MI6 was wrong, but now it was better; it actually directly caused the reputation of the Royal Navy to be damaged.
If this matter cannot be handled properly, hundreds of years of honor will be destroyed in one day, and he will be a sinner for the ages. As a result, he has been communicating with London on these two matters in recent days; there have also been many meetings within the Falkland Islands Garrison.
The meeting has only one purpose, how to solve it properly.
Before discussing the reason, the British Empire's warships in the Falkland Islands were attacked by unknown submarines and almost all were wiped out. After hearing the news, Major General Thompson almost fainted; fortunately, he was in good health, otherwise he would not have been able to carry it.
live.
He came to the duty room and said directly: "Report the situation in detail and what is going on."
Major General Thompson couldn't help but be anxious. The first two things had not settled yet; now another bigger thing happened, which did not want him to land smoothly. Returning to the UK in this current state would definitely not bring good results.
The officer on duty replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, just now, we received distress telegrams from multiple warships, all saying they were attacked by submarines. According to reports from surviving warships, the Empire's Falkland Islands garrison lost 15 warships in half an hour.
;It is also the fifteen largest ship."
"At present, the largest warship of the Imperial Navy in the Falkland Islands has a displacement of only 800 tons, and it has lost sea control."
800 tons sounds like a lot, but that's on land; according to the world's naval evaluation standards, anything less than 10,000 tons cannot be called a main battleship. This is not the era of sailing battleships 200 years ago. A warship with a displacement of 800 tons is almost nothing.
combat effectiveness.
After all, he is a general, and he must not lose his composure in front of his subordinates. Rear Admiral Thompson, who quickly reacted, said with a serious expression: "Is it a sneak attack by the Argentine Navy?"
It didn't take much thinking to know that it must have been done by Argentines; but the staff on duty did not report it and could only confirm it.
The officers on duty also looked embarrassed. They just received news that the warship was attacked; they did not know which country was responsible.
But when the commander-in-chief asks, he must answer.
The officer on duty thought for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is still unclear which country is responsible for this. The enemy used submarines to attack, but the Argentine submarines cannot escape our surveillance at all."
"Even if the Argentines purchase a new type of submarine, it will take a long time to achieve combat effectiveness. In the nearby waters, it is simply impossible for other countries except the Argentines."
"Although the British Empire has declined, it is still one of the world's powerful countries. Attacking our warships is tantamount to a declaration of war; unless you are a madman, no one is willing to do something stupid."
"There are also countries that are far away from each other and have more flowers; it is simply not possible, and of course that includes the United States and the Soviet Union."
"When four places are attacked at the same time, at least four submarines are needed; and they are the submarines with the most superior performance. The sonar unit on one ship is negligent, and the Royal Navy cannot possibly be negligent."
"Currently, the only countries that can produce this type of submarine are the United States and the Soviet Union; even with the technical reserves of the British Empire, it cannot be completed."
The level of the staff on duty is definitely not low; in the event of an emergency, they have to make decisions as quickly as possible. At the same time, they are also very familiar with the military equipment of various countries.
Only the Soviet Union and the United States can produce it. Do the Americans really want to draw Britain into the second war with Argentina?
As a senior general, a lot of domestic information will be shared with him. No country will hide anything from the garrison commander. The garrison commander must know where and who the enemy may come from.
The Americans have been thinking about the Falkland Islands for more than a day or two. However, due to human sentiments and the need to unite the United Kingdom against the Soviet Union, they naturally will not go too far. But if the British Empire cannot defend it and invites the US military to garrison, then
That's a different matter.
Rear Admiral Thompson said with a serious expression: "I want to know now whether it was done by the Argentines; as for everything else, it is not important. 15 warships were sunk, and you don't even know who the enemy is; don't you think it's sad!"
The officers on duty also looked aggrieved. The Argentine army was the most likely. However, there was no conclusive evidence and we could not be completely sure by just guessing. Besides, Argentina did not take the initiative to admit it. Could it be that a British warship was sunk in South America? All Argentine heads would be counted.
There is no such truth in the world.
Judging from the posture, the commander had already acquiesced, and he had no reason to refute.
Person on duty: "Although there is no direct evidence, it is basically certain. The speed of the submarine is very slow. If other countries' submarines come, the Royal Navy has already discovered it; there is no chance of a sneak attack at all!"
It was bombed so badly, and it was said that it could detect the enemy; I don't know if it gave the British navy courage.
The officer on duty had already given the answer, and Major General Thompson picked up the phone; the matter had to be reported to London.
Although George Young also appeared in the recording, the impression given is still very positive. At least he does not like to use dirty tricks and will try his best to maintain the honor of the Royal Navy. But there are fewer and fewer people like him in the UK
; Otherwise, frame-up and frame-up will not happen.
When I received the call from the commander of the Falkland Islands garrison, he was also confused; he even couldn't believe it at all.
There was no clear explanation for the downing of two fighter jets last time, and the Argentines went to war without declaring it. This was a complete lack of regard for the British Empire, and the harshest blow must be dealt.
At present, the United Kingdom has lost sea control over the Falkland Islands, and the Argentine air force is not weak in combat effectiveness; relying solely on the Falkland Islands garrison has no chance of winning.
We had no choice but to order Major General Thompson to enter a state of combat readiness and not to act rashly; he would report to the Prime Minister immediately.
The war with the Argentines is inevitable, but you still need to respect the Iron Lady; requesting instructions and reporting are procedures that you must follow as a subordinate!
