Chapter 292: A Mouthful of Old Blood

A few minutes later, Admiral John Federhouse, just watching 10 "super flags" pounce on the aircraft carrier formation, could do nothing.

In fact, if there is a person with an eagle eye who can carefully identify them, it can still be seen that these 10 planes are very different - the pylons at the roots of the wings of 5 of them are already empty, and the maneuvering movements of the fuselage are also very light, and it is obvious that the missiles have been used up when they penetrated the destroyers and air defense frigates in the outer ring just now.

The Argentines flew all 12 Super Flags, two were shot down in the fierce battle, and a number of A-4 Skyhawks were killed.

However, the pilots of the Argentines were, apparently, still very heroic. They strictly followed the established tactics, and even after using up the missiles, they did not return home, but pretended to be like their comrades who were fully loaded, in order to distract the enemy's anti-aircraft fire and attention.

The more than 20 Harrier fighters that the Bretanians had already scrambled into the air also rushed to the air. In air combat, the Harrier is still very promising, and it has an advantage against the legal "Mirage 3", even if the "Mirage 3" flies much faster - the Harrier is subsonic, and the "Mirage 3" is supersonic.

Therefore, in the face of the same subsonic and heavy-duty "super military flag", the Harrier advantage is even more obvious.

But it is easy to chase and shoot down the super military flag, and it is very difficult to prevent the super military flag from launching anti-ship missiles at a distance of 50 kilometers. The five "Super Military Flags" that were still equipped with missiles, regardless of whether they could escape or not, at least those two rounds could be fired safely first.

Ten fiery dragons struck at the two Breton aircraft carriers and several personal ships that were so close to the sea that they could not intercept them at all.

"Boom Boom Boom", a total of 4 hit the target.

Admiral Federhouse only felt a shock from the ship, and the flight deck was instantly blown to pieces, and there were four or five rotating Harrier fighters on the deck that had run out of fuel and had not had time to take off, all of which were engulfed in debris and the fire of refueling trucks.

The flagship "Invincible" was lucky, only 1 hit.

The relatively old-fashioned "Hermes" has been called by 3 pieces and has been completely turned into a burning garbage heap.

However, at this time, the strong structural anti-sinking advantage of the aircraft carrier was also reflected - the reason why the previous "Sheffield" and other cutting-edge destroyers were finished so quickly was mainly because from 69 years, the Royal Navy began to emphasize the light structure and save tonnage, and felt that most of the structure of the hull was built by aluminum alloy.

At that time, the thinking was that the Soviet Union's ship-to-ship missiles were powerful enough and excessive, and that such a thing as a destroyer, no matter how much it strengthened its anti-sinking resistance, was useless, and it would definitely be killed in seconds after one shot.

However, when confronted with French-style light firepower missiles, the disadvantages of warships designed for the Soviets were immediately highlighted -- Originally, the "Exocet" was a high-explosive warhead of more than 160 kilograms, and it was a pure steel structure warship that could not sink 8,000 tons.

After being transformed into an aluminum alloy structure, the melting point of aluminum alloy is only 600 degrees, which is a full 900 degrees lower than that of alloy steel at 1500 degrees. Once the flying fish exploded, it immediately caused the aluminum of the whole ship to melt and burn, and the fire was completely out of control.

Therefore, the four destroyers of the Royal Navy were burned alive rather than sunk by blowing up the armor structure below the waterline.

However, the Royal Navy has never used an aluminum alloy structure for a super-large warship like an aircraft carrier. In addition, the aircraft carrier has many watertight compartments, and it is not ordinarily difficult to rely on structural blows to sink them.

Historically, the last of the Americans' "Essex-class" was built during World War II, and it took nearly dozens of torpedoes to blow up and sink the coral reef in 06.

Admiral Federhouse knew all these problems, so he was not afraid of the sinking of the aircraft carrier, but anxiously asked for a report:

"Is the damage under control! Hurry up and report the situation!"

"The flight deck of the ship was completely destroyed, and the remaining carrier-based aircraft on the ship were completely destroyed, and it was no longer possible to carry out take-off and landing operations. The lower deck and power compartment are in good condition. ”

"The Hermes could not be contacted, and the bridge was completely blown up, so the communication equipment may have been destroyed. ”

After a while, a communications ship said that it had received a transfer from the "Hermes" before sending a telegram to the flagship.

Even the lower compartment of the "Hermes" was blown to pieces, and even lost most of its power, almost an empty shell of a garbage heap.

"The whole fleet immediately evacuates at high speed! Let all the Harrier fighters who cannot return to the ...... Ignore the return fuel and chase the Argentines with the Super Banner! Knock out one is another! I don't care where the Argentines got the new Exocet, they only have the Super Flag to launch Exocet!"

At the end, as if he felt that such an order was too inhumane, he added: "Leave a high-speed frigate, stay in place for two hours, and salvage the pilot who ran out of fuel and parachuted when he returned home after the pursuit! and, when ensuring that the 'Hermes' could not be saved, sank the 'Hermes' with a torpedo!"

As for the crew of the "Hermes", of course, most of them were taken away at once, leaving only the damage management team and the engineer crew.

After the order to retreat was given, the "Invincible" that was still smoking drove back several nautical miles, and Admiral Federhouse remembered one thing: "Have all the rescue teams of the Sea King helicopter been recovered? Is the Duke of York okay?"

"Of course, it was inconvenient to dock on the deck, and at that time, the duke had already been sent to the armored bridge for protection. ”

Admiral Federhouse pinched a cold sweat, but fortunately the Duke was fine.

The Duke of York this time, in order to boost morale, the royal family sent to the ship's Aquaman helicopter search and rescue team as a search and rescue officer - is this also a Breton tradition, those aristocratic women are nurses to comfort the wounded, and men are to be search and rescue teams.

As long as the duke is well, if the helicopter is lost, it will be lost.

A day later, Admiral Federhouse, who had fled a long way away, finally joined up with the support fleet led by the Excellence.

Originally, he should have had 3 working aircraft carriers on hand, but now only one is slightly disabled and one is intact. There is also one that has been abandoned and sunk by itself.

Before the start of the war, the Royal Navy had only one Type 82 and eight Type 42 destroyers. As a result, the Type 82 "Bristol" was slightly crippled with one shot, and three Type 42 ships were sunk and one was injured.

Fortunately, the reinforcement fleet brought two new ones.

Now there are 5 Type 42 ships left in the country, and the admiral has 2 new and 1 remnant in his hands, and there are only 2 ships in the rear reserve.

If you don't get the Argentines done, it's going to be a big deal.

The key is, today the Argentines actually came directly to 24 "Flying Fish" in a wave of ruthlessness, how much stock do they still have?

If there are many more, even if the newly commissioned "Excellence" dares to approach the Falklands, it will be a fate.

Let's first mediate diplomatically and spy on the details.

……

"Madame Prime Minister, this is this morning's front-line battle report!

Madame Magissa only felt her brain pounding at her temples, took a deep breath, and unfolded the document sent by the Admiralty.

"Bang~" with a bang, her wrists bulged violently, obviously angry, "How dare the French! Even President Li Gen warned them!"

She immediately picked up the foreign secretary, and then urgently approached France to mediate her representations.

Two hours later, the urgent conclusions and replies came out, and the French did not admit it.

The two sides were crazy about it, not only arguing with the French and exerting a lot of pressure, but also checking the French horses.

Monaco is also feeling the pressure and can only tremble.

Fortunately, it was at this time that the Argentine side issued a statement.

"Madam Prime Minister! ”

"What? Galtieri said that he had seized a batch of counterfeit goods with incomplete formalities? How could there be a fake of the Flying Fish! What kind of country did it copy? What the hell is the anti-smuggling business!"

Another incompetent rage.

In the middle of the night, the information of all parties was summarized, and many contexts were finally sorted out.

"Some foreign companies have claimed and apologized for this non-compliant operation. The foreign manufacturer also sincerely compensated Dassault of France for its 'intellectual property infringement fees' according to the amount seized and confiscated, according to the original price of the sale price of the counterfeit goods. Dassault received $2.4 million and made a windfall. ”

That's the latest news from Mrs. Dao's desk.

The company that sells fakes gave Dassault a windfall of $2.4 million, of course, not for nothing.

That is to make the French carry their hatred, and to prove that there are foreign companies that have infringed on the rights of the French, but it has nothing to do with the third party. As long as the French forgive us, we owe nothing else.

However, the old man Dassault has always been very unaccustomed to the enemy on the other side of the strait, and he is tough enough to earn this 2.4 million revenge money.

Realizing that she couldn't do anything about it, Madame turned to a new focus: "They paid Dassault $2.4 million? That is, 30 counterfeits were seized?"

"For now, I'll make sure. The clerk immediately went to investigate further.

In the wee hours of the morning, the answer that came back after the directional negotiations was as follows: "They said that only these 30 have been seized by Galtieri so far."

At the same time, taking into account the negative effects of the past and the consistent good-neighbourly attitude towards our Brittan State, they will definitely work hard to never let the remaining goods that have not yet been seized and are already on the territory of the State of Breton be seized. They can even assure that they are willing to bear the pain of destroying these potential risks ahead of time in order to protect Brittany's interests. ”

When Madame heard this, a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

Are people willing to "take the initiative to destroy for the sake of good-neighborliness"? That must be for the lion to open his mouth and let you bear their losses!

Madame had no doubt that if she dared to say nothing in the subsequent negotiations, this batch of things that had not yet been seized by Galtieri would definitely be seized in an instant.
