If they want to attack the Falkland Islands, the Argentine Navy will take the lead in the battle. Therefore, first of all, we need to know the president's plan, and the specific formulation of the action plan is completed by Anaya.
"Our plan has been perfected. After July, we will enter winter here. The severe cold is the biggest enemy for the British army fighting far from home. Therefore, our implementation time is initially set for September this year. 7th." Anaya said.
Galtieri nodded, yes!The choice of time is very good, especially since this place is relatively close to the Antarctic Circle. In winter, the climate is extremely cold, and the biggest threat to the British fleet, which has come across half the world, is the weather!
"At that time, the fourteen Super Emblems and 15 Exocet missiles we ordered from France will be ready to order, especially the Exocet missiles, which will be our most powerful weapon against the British fleet. Just a year ago, the Iraqi Air Force attacked The warships of the Iranian Navy were sunk, and Iran’s largest Babur class was sunk. Although neither side has made a statement, all the information confirms that it was the Exocet missile. We are equipped with this missile, which will maximize our resistance to the other side. The strength of the formation." Anaya said.
"Flying fish," Galtieri said silently, "Since flying fish are so useful, why don't we buy a few more?"
"Right now, the production of Exocet missiles in France is very limited. Apart from supplying them for their own use, they are supplying them to Iraq in Arabia. They are big spenders. It is said that they have ordered more than 100 missiles. Therefore, our order has been postponed until now. Only three have been delivered." Anaya said: "However, by then, the British aircraft carrier Invincible will be sold to Australia as planned, and some large ships will also be decommissioned or dismantled one after another. Therefore, the danger we face is only Then a few modern warships, especially Type 42 air defense destroyers, with these flying fishes are enough. At that time, the 4 ships and 2 frigates we purchased from West Germany will also arrive. If the British dare Come, let them come and go!"
A second-rate military power will never be able to compare with a first-rate military power!Galtieri thought contemptuously.
The economic strength of the United Kingdom can no longer support their huge fleet. Therefore, the United Kingdom has decided to retire the aircraft carrier. In this case, the United Kingdom's long-range offensive capabilities will be greatly weakened.Thinking of the aircraft carrier being dismantled into scrap iron, and then Margaret Thatcher found out that there is no navy available, would she be crazy?
At the end of World War II, the British naval power was second only to the United States in the world, with a total of 50 aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers!However, as the aura of "the empire on which the sun never sets" faded, the national power of the United Kingdom gradually weakened, and the situation of the navy also declined day by day.Successive British governments have adopted a policy of shrinking overseas military power, and a large number of warships have been decommissioned, sealed up or even demolished.
Especially last year, the "Ark Royal" aircraft carrier, the backbone of Britain's sea power, which can carry 38 fighters and has a full load displacement of 5 tons, was demolished. Only the [-]-ton invincible aircraft carrier remained in the UK, and its ocean-going capabilities have already been greatly improved. reduce.
"At that time, our navy will be organized into three fleets, consisting of 2 destroyers, 2 frigates, 1 tank landing ship, 1 submarine, 1 icebreaker, and 1 supply ship carrying 2 battalions of marines. The 40th amphibious task force set off from Belgrano to recover the Falkland Islands, and formed the 1th amphibious task force with 1 frigate and 2 supply ship carrying 60 platoons of marines, and set off from Port Deseado to recover South Island also formed the 1th Task Force with 4 aircraft carrier, 1 destroyers, 1 frigate, and 20 oil tanker to provide cover for the battle. The commander-in-chief of the operation is the commander of the 5th Army of the Army and the commander of the Malvinas theater. Valdo? Lieutenant General Garcia. Operation code name: Rosario."
In this way, most of Argentina's warships were almost exhausted, and the Malvinas Islands were taken with lightning speed!
Galtieri opened the window, and it was already a bit stuffy outside.
People of Argentina, you will see that your president is definitely not the weak and cowardly ones!Argentina needs a strong president!
Later generations believed that if Argentina could launch an attack according to the original plan, then the Argentine military dictator Galtieri would win, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would resign in a military defeat or lose the election. Will it regain power in the UK, there will be no so-called Thatcherism, there will be no revival of the UK, and there will be no Tony?Blair or Gordon?Brown today.
It's a pity that everything can't be repeated, because Galtieri didn't travel back.
Historical events have political, economic, belief, and other inevitable factors, as well as accidental aspects.
At this time, the eyes of military strategists around the world are all focused on the powder keg-like Middle East. What will happen to the war between Iraq and Iran, while the conflict between Palestine and Israel is intensifying. In East Asia, North Korea is also reported to be secretly developing nuclear weapons.
However, no one noticed that on March 3 of this year, 19 workers from an Argentine company came to South Georgia Island to dismantle an old whale processing factory.
"Alfredo, what are you doing?" A worker who was demolishing the house was busy in front of a flagpole when he saw the foreman who brought them here.
"The land here is so beautiful, the sky here is so blue, shouldn't our national flag be flying here? Why is it the Union Jack?" Alfredo said.
When the workers who came heard it, it was indeed the case. This place belongs to us in Argentina. Why do we let the British flag fly?
Anyway, it was demolishing here. Anyway, it only took a few days. Anyway, everyone is Argentine, and they all have the urge.
"Yes, let our flag fly here!" The workers helped Alfredo, took down the British flag, and hung up their own flag.
From top to bottom, there are three parallel and equal horizontal rectangles of light blue, white, and light blue. In the middle of the white rectangle is a round of "the sun of May".Light blue symbolizes justice, white symbolizes faith, purity, integrity and nobility; "May sun" symbolizes freedom and dawn.This is the flag of Argentina.
Seeing it flying high on the flagpole, the workers feel that they are working more vigorously.
Chapter 326 Investigation
Chapter 326 Investigation
"Last time in the combat headquarters, you showed disrespect to our great spiritual leader Khomeini, is there such a thing?" a person asked in a cold voice.
"I have always supported our great spiritual leader Khomeini. In my room, there is a portrait of Khomeini. Besides, if I really disrespected Khomeini, then at the beginning, I would have Soldiers will not be ordered to refuse to accept orders from Pavilli's government," Hashmian said.
"Hmph! Don't think that you are credited with standing on our side during the revolution, so why are there so many people who are disloyal to the spiritual leader among your soldiers?" Tah then asked .
What infidelity?My soldiers are all slandered!Hashmian suddenly came up with an impulse: "Tah, don't slander, I didn't disrespect our spiritual leader last time, I just couldn't see what you did. You brought the soldiers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards. With permission, you broke into the headquarters, do you think you can come and leave whenever you want?" Hashmian asked.
"Our Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shoulders the heavy responsibility of finding traitors in the army and maintaining Khomeini's prestige. We can conduct surprise searches in all places as long as we think it is necessary." Tah said.
"Do you dare to search the most disrespectful place to Khomeini?" Hashemian asked.
"Of course I dare. I am willing to go anywhere for a great leader," Tah said.
"Then go to Abadan, there are people who are disrespectful to the great leader, you go and catch them all, and interrogate them publicly!"
"You!" Tah was angry.
"Okay, Tah, stop talking." Another person stopped Tah.
Hashmian sneered in his heart. In fact, although most of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards are arrogant, they are not ambiguous when fighting. People like Tah who only know how to fight in the nest are also scum in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards.
"Lieutenant General Hashemian, I heard that you strongly opposed our young soldiers' participation in the war in the army, so that their enthusiasm for participating in the war was frustrated. Is there such a thing?" asked another person.
This question hit Hashmi'an's weakness. He was able to rise to the position of lieutenant general in the army. He naturally had some experience and knew certain things, so he couldn't speak nonsense.
Although in his heart, Hashmian hated this kind of behavior extremely, and Hashmian was not sure where his soul could go, but he knew that if a bullet hit the young soldier, he would be finished.
And teenagers are the future of the motherland. If you send all the teenagers to the battlefield now, then, after ten years, Iran will collapse.
However, this policy was agreed by the great spiritual leader Khomeini, and he still dared not complain too much in front of the investigation team.
"Also, you are very disgusted with our mullahs (clergy) entering the army?"
"No, this is definitely a rumor." Hashmian is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of being dismissed or arrested, but he knows that he must not fall down at this time.
"I agree very much with the guidance of the great spiritual leader. I very much welcome the mullahs to join our army, and I also welcome the young soldiers to break through the enemy lines for us. These are all rumors." Hashmian felt a little disgusted , when did you become this kind of person?
Finally, the day of hearing the news was over, and Hashmian walked out of the house. Outside, the sky was already full of stars.
Although Hashemian was investigated, it was just an ordinary investigation. He could hear the news and summon witnesses. However, Hashemian was not dismissed, and he could not be prevented from exercising his power, let alone tortured. extract a confession.
It is precisely because of this that although Hashemian has been under investigation, he still insists on his work.
"General." The adjutant came over.
"How is it?" Hashemian asked.
"Recently, there have been abnormalities on the defense line controlled by Iraq," the adjutant said.
abnormal situation?This adjutant is an old subordinate of Hashmian, and he has also studied in the United States, and his military quality is very good.
"Our personnel took a risky investigation and discovered that their oil transport vehicles were transporting oil day and night, and ammunition supply vehicles were also transporting. Everything shows that the Iraqis are planning a large-scale military operation." said the adjutant.
Hashemian's face suddenly changed.
The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.When training in the United States, it is very emphasized that supplies will determine the final outcome of the war.If Hashemian were to command the Battle of the Susangilde Swamp, he would definitely not make the low-level mistake of not being able to keep up with supplies.
After several battles, it proved that the commander of the Southern Military Region of Iraq is a very clever person. Since the opponent is raising supplies, it is imperative to launch a large-scale offensive.
This is also the question that Hashmian is most worried about.
If in a few months, the rainy season enters, it will not be conducive to the maneuvering of the opponent's armored forces. For the defensive side, it will be very advantageous, but now, it is the most suitable time for the enemy.
