Chapter 578: The Variables of the Falklands War!

Xiang Rong's anger was naturally expected by Qiu Fang.

Panshi International Security Company was established by Yang Weiping for the purpose of escorting Tiangong International Group, and if even the personal safety of Yang Weiping, the founder, could not be guaranteed, it would be a big joke.

From the day Qiu Fang took over the helm of Panshi, she has been deliberately building a team of bodyguards with Yang Weiping's personal safety as the core task, and the selected members are all the elite of the elite in the Panshi mercenaries with clean backgrounds and outstanding military skills.

This personal guard unit has a total of 150 people, divided into three squadrons of 50 people, and is invisibly distributed in an area of 10 kilometers around Yang Weiping around Yang Weiping around the clock in all weathers. Even if Yang Weiping was closely protected by the guards of the Central Police Bureau after returning to China, the personal guards never left the perimeter cordon with Yang Weiping as the center.

No matter where Yang Weiping goes, this pro-guard team will secretly follow. It is precisely because of this that the FBI of North Burma led by Qiu Fang was able to grasp all kinds of clues in a timely manner and nip in the bud the assassination plot planned by the government and army of South Burma.

Of course, Yang Weiping knew that there was such a team of shadow bodyguards in Lu Dao, but he had never interfered with their actions. He cherishes his life more than anyone else.

On this visit to Burma, Yang Weiping also judged that the government and government of southern Burma would definitely not turn a blind eye. But he was still relatively relieved about the security work that Qiu Fang was personally responsible for.

Facts have also proved that Qiu Fang did eliminate all unsafe factors in time, and did not let anyone with bad intentions approach Yang Weiping within five kilometers.

It can be said that Yang Weiping's current security work is a three-layer insurance: the shadow bodyguard is on the periphery. Meng Shouzheng and Guo Shangyi are in charge of the guard group in the middle, and Yang Xinru is the most personal line of defense.

Over the years, the shadow bodyguards have dealt with many kidnapping plots against Yang Weiping by secret agents from various countries, but this is the first assassination attempt to kill Yang Weiping.

Regarding Xiang Rong's request to personally lead the team to strangle the conspirators on the South Burmese side, Qiu Fang did not answer directly, but handed over the mobile phone to Yang Weiping.

After all, she is no longer in charge of the management of the Rock, and Yang Weiping is the one who gives orders to the Rock mercenaries.

Seeing Qiu Fang handing him the phone, Yang Weiping didn't think much about it. He smiled very kindly at the microphone: "Ah Rong." Hello, long time no see, pick another day, let's get together together. ”

"Boss. You didn't come to visit us for so long. I thought you had forgotten about us!" Xiang Rong's voice looked particularly happy.

"How can I be? Ah Rong, although I haven't had time to visit you all these years, I have always been concerned about the affairs of the rock. You are all on your own now. This fully shows that my way of working as a hands-off shopkeeper is the right way!"

"Boss, your cultivation of us, brothers keep it in mind all the time. At any time, as long as you say a word, even if it is to my old head, I will never say anything!"

"What do I want your head for, I want you old brothers to continue to help me solve problems. What Qiu Fang told you just now, do you have the confidence to complete it? I don't want such a big sum of money to be taken away by other mercenary organizations. ”

"Boss, please rest assured, promise to complete the task! If there is any mistake, I will see Rong Jin!"

"I'm not going to make too much of a fuss about this, but there is one thing that needs to spread the word among international mercenary circles. I'll let those weeds and trees that want to be sent to the government army of South Burma are all soldiers!"

"Boss, the real fear is not death, but the kind of mental torture that doesn't know when the road will die!"

"That's what I mean. Okay, without further ado, I still have something to discuss with Qiu Fang, and I'm waiting for your good news. ”

"Please rest assured, boss, I Xiangrong will never let you down!"

Yang Weiping pressed the hang-up button, handed the phone back to Qiu Fang, and asked thoughtfully: "Sister Fang, how do I feel that Ah Rong is not close to me but a little in awe now?"

"Do you think we are still at the time when we were just starting out in Hong Kong!" Qiu Fang said with a smile: "Don't say it's Ah Rong, including Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and their veterans, their lives and fates have changed because of you." Which of them is now back in China, not the overseas rich that everyone envies?

Although you haven't been with them all these years, they remember your kindness and talk about your kindness all the time. As your career becomes more and more successful, your identity and status are gradually moving further and further away from them. Ah Rong has a good saying, this person, if you don't have reverence, you will get carried away. ”

Yang Weiping smoked his cigar silently, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "There are so many retired officers and soldiers in China who have been arranged to enter the rock, and none of these people are trying to win over, divide and disintegrate Tu Zhiqiang?"

"Of course there is!" Qiu Fang's beautiful eyes flashed a cold light, and he said with a sneer: "But these people with ulterior motives have sacrificed their lives for the country in different battles! At present, all the registered Rock mercenaries, no matter what country they come from, have relatives and family members who have immigrated and settled in Rock Town, Nairobi, Kenya.

Today, Panshi Town has developed into a wealthy town with a population of 300,000 and a well-developed economy. I always remember you telling me that any trust is relative! Only through effective control and restraint mechanisms can we ensure that this trust does not deteriorate. ”

It is no wonder that Chief No. 1 and Ye Chien-shiung have no reason to speak for him on the issue of whether to retain his military status, it turns out that the problem lies here. Yang Weiping suddenly realized, but also secretly sighed that Qiu Fang's reputation as "Black Widow" in the international mercenary world was really not in vain.

At the beginning, the Huaxia military vigorously supported him in placing retired officers and soldiers to be selected as the Panshi mercenaries, obviously because they had the idea of seeping sand and achieving the goal of secretly controlling the Panshi mercenaries to be used by the Huaxia government. It's a pity that their plan was resolved by Qiu Fang with cold-blooded means.

As more and more family members of Chinese retired officers and soldiers who joined the Panshi mercenaries were resettled in Panshi Town, Nairobi, Kenya, the fate of these thousands of Chinese retired soldiers was inevitably tied to Panshi.

Based on the fact that the Rock Mercenary has become his Yang Weiping's private army. Of course, it is impossible for the Huaxia military to let Yang Weiping serve in the military again, even if he is a false position, it will attract criticism.

This situation was somewhat unexpected by Yang Weiping. But since he was relieved to hand over the power of the rock to Qiu Fang, he can of course be sure that everything Qiu Fang does will only be for his benefit, and will definitely not harm him.

The fact has come true, and there is no need for him to dwell on Qiu Fang's approach now.

Extinguishing the cigar butt that was almost finished in the crystal ashtray on the coffee table, Yang Weiping deliberately changed the topic, looked at Qiu Fang and asked, "Sister Fang, have you paid attention to the current situation of the British Navy Expeditionary Fleet?"

"This was the first modern naval battle since the end of World War II. Of course, I'll have to pay close attention. Qiu Fang nodded and replied as a matter of course: "For this reason, I also specially sent a military investigation team to accompany the British army headquarters. The British military has a long history of good cooperation with them. It provided us with a lot of convenience.

The Argentine military carried out ahead of schedule the 'Rosario' plan for the recovery of the Falklands, which they had drawn up long ago, and the commander-in-chief of operations was Lieutenant General Osvaldo GarcΓ­a, commander of the Army's 5th Army and commander of the Malvinas theater. The task force consists of 1 aircraft carrier, 4 destroyers, and about 20 other ships, as well as a landing force of 4,000 people.

The 40th Amphibious Task Force landed a Marine reconnaissance team at Cape Pembroke at 0:15 on 2 April. At 6:30 a.m. on 2 April, the main force of the Afghan army landed at Ronke Bay and immediately captured the airport and port. 8:30 a.m. Seven C-130 transport planes of the Afghan army brought more than 3,000 backups. The total strength of the Afghan army on the island exceeded 4,000 people.

The British defenders on the island numbered nearly 200. Only general resistance was carried out. That is, all surrendered under the leadership of Governor Rex Hunt. There were no casualties among the British, and 4 were killed by the Argentine army. The Argentine side appointed Brigadier General Mario Benhamel Menendez as military governor of the Falklands.

On 3 April, the Afghan Navy transported about 200 landing troops to the port of Grichen Viken on the island of South Georgia. The British defenders of 22 men resisted, and all of them were captured by Ah Sheng. On 7 April, Afghanistan announced the establishment of a 'South Atlantic Warfare' that would include 200 nautical miles off the mainland of Afghanistan and 200 nautical miles around the Falklands, South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands, and appointed General Juan Arse Lombardo, commander of naval operations, as commander of the theater.

At the same time, the 60th Amphibious Formation of the Afghan Army landed in the South Island, and after a short exchange of fire, occupied the South Island, and 23 British defenders surrendered. In this way, the Afghan army occupied the entire Malvinas Islands at the cost of 7 casualties and 2 helicopters.

When the news of the Afghan army's reconquest of the Falklands reached China, the crowd was excited, and hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the square of the presidential palace on 25 May, singing the national anthem, chanting slogans, and celebrating the victory. More than a dozen political parties across the country unanimously expressed their support for the government's actions. Argentine President Galtieri's prestige was at its peak. No one thought about the government's failure to deal with the economic problem anymore, and successfully transferred the domestic economic problem to the war against Britain.

On the same day, the British Wartime Cabinet made the decision to send a task force to the Falklands, appointing Rear Admiral Sandy Woodward as commander of the task force. More than 40 ships of the Task Force carrying about 4,000 ground troops, 20 Harrier fighters and 45 helicopters of various types set sail from Portsmouth, British Britain and British Gibraltar to the South Atlantic Ocean on 5 April.

On April 7, the United Kingdom announced a total air and sea blockade of 200 nautical miles around the Falklands. On April 12, the British nuclear submarine began to blockade the Falklands as soon as they arrived. During the 13,000-kilometer voyage to the Falklands, the British troops involved in the war completed a series of preparatory work, such as formulating combat plans, marshalling battle sequences, and conducting tactical drills, and in accordance with the decree issued by the wartime parliament on 4 April, they recruited 58 civilian ships as the fleet's logistical support capacity, and at the same time quickly refitted the requisitioned civilian ships as needed. Two transport ships leased by Rock from the British Navy were also called up to participate.

On April 17, the British Wartime Cabinet proposed the principle of controlling the war in the Falklands region and not attacking Argentina proper. The United States, NATO and other countries have expressed their support for Britain and imposed an arms embargo on Argentina. At the same time, various countries also provide Britain with logistical support, communications, satellite intelligence and other conveniences. However, on the grounds of maintaining neutrality, China did not agree to Britain's request to interrupt the arms trade with Argentina.

According to the analysis and assessment of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, Argentina has been preparing for this war for a long time, and the FC-1 Thunder Dragon multi-role fighters, the Qiang-5 B2 Tengu carrier-based aircraft, the FBC-1 Flying Leopard fighter-bomber, and the supporting PL series air-to-air missiles and C802 series anti-ship missiles purchased from China are entirely likely to inflict heavy losses on the British Navy's expeditionary fleet.

The combat radius of the two fighters, the FC-1 and FBC-1 made by Huaxia, is more than 1,500 kilometers, and the Falklands theater is only 800 kilometers away from the Argentine mainland.

In addition, the Argentine army has expanded three field airfields on the Falklands, expanded the airport in Port Argentina, and built field airfields on the islands of Gusgreen and Pebul. And transferred 150 fighter planes to support the Afghan navy in combat. Both in terms of combat readiness and the sophistication of weapons, the British expeditionary fleet was at a disadvantage.

Although the British and Argentine armies have not yet engaged in a large-scale and substantive war and exchange of fire, if the British Government cannot persuade the Chinese Government to stop exporting weapons to Afghanistan, Britain will certainly be defeated once a war breaks out! This is because the strength of the Afghan Air Force is really much greater than that of the British Expeditionary Fleet, and the pilots of the Afghan Air Force have all received strict training from instructors from the United States, France, Israel, and China, and they have high skills, a fierce work style, and a very strong combat effectiveness. The decisive factor in modern naval warfare is air supremacy!"

Yang Weiping nodded with a smile and said: "The British Harrier style is against the Chinese Thunder Dragon, and the One-on-one Thunder Dragon definitely has the upper hand." If the Argentine Navy dares to fight, the strong sea-to-ground attack capability of the B2 carrier-based aircraft, coupled with the coordinated operation of the FBC-1 Flying Leopard, can easily make the British fleet fall in the sea.

However, the decisive factor in war is not only the weaponry, but also the determination and will of the commanders. If Admiral Juan Arse Lombardo of Argentina had the courage to confront the British Royal Navy and dare to let the 40th Task Force of the Argentine Navy under his command meet all of them, the British expeditionary fleet would most likely be completely destroyed. ”

Qiu Fang looked at Yang Weiping with a puzzled look in her eyes and asked, "Do you mean that Juan Asse Lombardo may not dare to let the Albanian Navy fight?"

"Because Britain has nuclear submarines!" Yang Weiping replied with a slight look in his eyes: "No one dares to guarantee whether the British government, which has been forced to be in a hurry, will use nuclear warheads." This is also the greatest confidence of the British government to dare to go on expeditionary operations. In a nuclear explosion at sea, there will not be as many concerns as on land.
