Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Chapter 499 The ability of ground effect aircraft

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 that of Bao Zixuan's secretary. At least this is the case these days. Neither of them talks about sports cars. It depends on who can't hold on 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, as well as a

Victory aerial tanker fleet; the difference is that this time the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft also stationed at the air base. At the same time, the 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. It stands to reason that 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

The training and training in the UK can only be regarded as second-rate, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong.

The commander has no choice but to act according to the wishes of domestic arms dealers. Sometimes it is troublesome if there are too many interests involved. People in the country are still in the nest at all times now. If the British Empire loses the war, they must not let these people go easily.

Soldiers have obeyed fame and fortune as their bounden duty. Although they knew that the commander might have bad intentions, this was also an opportunity to prove themselves, 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 the Xiangjiang monster had already arrived beside them before the Argentine army had fully reacted.

One is on alert, and the other is hovering to release people. It was the first time for Argentinians to see the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft. 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.

This leaves the Argentinians with almost no escape.

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

win.

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 only suffered 2 casualties. It can be said that the victory was very easy.

Major Paulson became famous in one battle. There has never been a commander in the history of the British army who could win with such a huge disparity in casualties. It is a rare miracle in the history of world wars. His achievements were even photographed by later generations.

Various film and television works have been popular in China for a while. However, Major Paulson knew that he was nothing without ground-effect aircraft. The enemy mainly died under the attack of ground-effect aircraft. He felt proud of being able to command two ground-effect aircraft in combat.

Very honored.

What surprised Major Paulson even more was that his father, who had always looked down on 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 the credit that belonged to him.

The British prefer aristocratic spirit, and military officers are generally held by aristocrats; even the Queen's second son, Prince Andrew, participated in this battle. Now a son of an aristocrat has demonstrated the majesty of the British Empire in the first battle, making the domestic people more aware of the upcoming battle.

Very confident.

For the first time, the top brass of the British Army felt the horror of ground-effect aircraft. It can be said that they are definitely a weapon for near-ground raids. It seems that they still need to increase purchase orders. This kind of weapon is too practical. Although the price is a bit expensive, but

Compared with the results achieved, it is nothing to mention. The sharing of British and American military forces 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 began to play tricks on it again. In order not to make the ground effect aircraft too conspicuous, they asked the commander 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 evil. He cannot take all the credit, so he has no objections.

.Mainly because his father in London had already explained the interest relationship with him, so he accepted everything so calmly.

The British army began to encounter the Argentinians at sea. At this time, the battlefield had all moved to the sea and the island. In this generation, Bao Zixuan had already arranged for Valenko-Ustinov to transfer many individual anti-aircraft missiles from the Soviet arsenal to the

Argentina, he had advanced all the money, but the Argentines didn't know it. This also brought great misfortune to the Harrier fighter, which itself was not very rational in design, and the battle damage ratio greatly exceeded the British army's estimate.

Basically, the Argentinians deploy one anti-aircraft missile in one 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 has banned the provision of any weapons to the warring parties. It can be said that this

It 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.

Recently, MI6 has been unlucky. 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 the facts proved that the intelligence was useless. The Argentines

The Falkland Islands have been occupied, which has caused senior officials to question their capabilities.

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

I only know that the report said it was a Soviet-made missile and that the planes were shot down. Even if MI6 did not report it to the frontline commanders, they still knew that the weapons were produced by the Soviets. What is the use of reporting 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 also known as the "four major intelligence agencies in the world". The Western intelligence community regards MI6 as the world's intelligence agency.

The "founder" of the Secret Intelligence Service is also the most efficient intelligence agency in the world. From the early days of Elizabeth's creation to the present, it and its predecessor, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service, have been kept strictly confidential. It was originally the overseas intelligence system of the British intelligence agency.

It was such an organization that had become the laughing stock of the British Empire. At this time, all intelligence personnel deployed in the Americas were actively investigating the source of the Argentine weapons. They did not dare to trouble the Soviets and could only find solutions on the Argentines.

If this matter cannot be investigated clearly, who will take them seriously after regaining the situation? 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.

We must use some method to 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 grasped 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 the companies and people who had just been sanctioned by the Argentines. This has always been a puzzling point for the British, and it finally became an unsolved case.
