On the newly repaired runway of the Falklands, five fighter jets were parked, and the pilots were already sitting in the cockpit quietly waiting for the take-off order from the tower.

The five aircraft here are "Skyhawk" attack aircraft, a feint group of aircraft to attract the attention of the British army.

When the Argentine Air Force was dispatched, a British naval task force consisting of two modern destroyers, a frigate and a large transport ship was sailing in a southwesterly direction four hundred nautical miles from the Falklands.

About eighty nautical miles behind them, a Belgian-flagged freighter was moving at normal speed. It was overtaken by this fast fleet, and the distance between the two sides continued to widen.

The commander of this task force was the captain of the destroyer "Sheffield", and the captain of the ship, Samuel Salt, temporarily assumed the position. Their mission was twofold, one was to escort the Atlantic Transport, which was laden with military supplies, to its destination safely, and the other was to support the British attack on South Georgia. Because the Argentine defenders fought stubbornly and defended well, the British army carried out several joint attacks by land, sea and air, but still did not take this forward base.

Because it was night, for the sake of safety, the ships of the task force were separated by some distance, among which the destroyer "Coventry" was in front, the frigate "Antelope" was second, the transport ship "Atlantic Transporter" was third, and the destroyer "Sheffield" was broken.

In the command room cabin, Task Force Commander and Captain of the destroyer USS Sheffield asked his deputy, "Did the pesky fly in front drive it away?" ”

The adjutant smiled, "Gone." I have to say that the Argentine Air Force is still quite bold. Dare to fly to our side to reconnoitre. ”

Salter smirked sarcastically and said, "It's just a clown." While our vanguard was attacking South Georgia, we flew here. However, they only dare to draw a circle a hundred kilometers away from us. If he hadn't moved fast and escaped early, he would have shot down our ship-to-air missiles long ago. These guys are just like their presidents, they are adventurers and idealists, huh! To dare to go against my British Empire is really crazy to see God. ”

The deputy nodded. After a while, he said, "To be honest, it's okay not to want this place on the Falklands. Even India can be abandoned, this place is ......, I really don't have anything to attract us, it's really useless. ”

"It's not a question of whether it's useful, it's a question of humiliation for a country," Salter said. We can give it to them, but they can't come and grab it. When will it be the turn of these small countries to bully our British Empire? If we, the government, our military just swallowed it. I really don't dare to face the taxpayers. Don't forget, the British Empire is the world's most powerful maritime power, at least once was. At this, he scolded hatefully, "Damn Hitler, damn Yankee." If not them. The navy of our British Empire will always be number one. ”

Several people had obviously heard Salter's nagging many times, and they didn't think so. The chief of staff next to him said: "We really need a war, no matter who ends up on this Falklands." ”

Salter said resolutely: "The Falklands must be ours!" ”

At this time, the communications officer came in and reported loudly: "Call from London, according to my intelligence officer in Chile. Argentina has just dispatched five warplanes to the Falklands. ”

Salter frowned and asked, "Five planes?" Isn't that the night training they do every night? Is this also worth telling us? As long as their air force can take off and land at night, can it still launch an attack on the Royal Navy of our British Empire? ”

The Communications Officer replied, "They have crossed the distance of the previous night training. ”

Salter glanced at the communications officer and ordered: "Order the destroyer 'Coventry' to turn on the 956R long-range air-to-sea search radar, and ten minutes later turn on the 992Q medium-range air-to-sea search radar." Ordered the USS Antelope frigate to turn on the Type 909 fire control radar. The destroyer HMS Sheffield turns on the 956R long-range air search radar. ”

"Yes!" The communications officer immediately turned around and went to the communications room to issue orders.

The deputy asked: "Commander, is it necessary to turn on so many radars?" I really don't believe what they can do to us. Not to mention them, except for the United States. There really is no country whose military can pose a threat to our fleet. ”

Salter looked at the dark night sky and said, "It's better to be cautious." Didn't the French say that their Exocet missiles can deliver precision strikes against warships from a distance of 100 kilometers. ”

The chief of staff said with a smile: "Your Excellency's orders, I'm afraid William of the 'Antelope' frigate is very unhappy, but he wants to personally use anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down a few Argentine planes." ”

Salter said dissatisfiedly: "French aerospace companies may not have such good intentions. In case China's anti-ship missiles have the same range as their Exocet missiles, we will be killing ourselves by letting enemy planes in, no! For the safety of the fleet, we must not risk anything. To test the performance of Chinese missiles. Let the French go to China themselves to buy missile launches. ”

The chief of staff replied earnestly: "I understand. ”

He knew that Sarter's words were reasonable, because these warships were not aircraft carriers, and they could not establish a safe defensive circle by fighters at night, and could only rely on the "Sea Javelin" ship-to-air missiles on the warships to provide protection. However, the maximum range of this missile is only 70 kilometers, and the minimum range is 4.5 kilometers, although the reaction time is short, and it only takes about 13 seconds from the discovery of the target to the launch, but if the Chinese missile can really be launched from 100 kilometers away, then they will be beyond the reach of the whip, and can only deal with it close to the range of machine gun defense.

Although French experts have repeatedly assured that the range of China's anti-ship missiles will certainly not exceed 70 kilometers, since the current range of their Aerospace Exocet missiles is less than 80 kilometers, Salter prefers to take conservative measures.

"As for those bastards on the USS Antelope, ignore them," Salter said. When this task force is disbanded, he can fight as much as he wants. But now that they are under my command, they will have to listen to me. I must ensure the safety of the entire fleet, and I must ensure the safe delivery of this military material to its destination. ”

The deputy said: "Commander, how do I feel that those French are bragging?" If they really have such powerful anti-aircraft missiles, then should we apply to the command to buy a batch of ......"

"You won't be able to buy a batch in this war, it's too late," Salter said. I don't believe that this war will last long, and we will have to thank God that the kind of army in Argentina can hold out for two weeks. It's hard to be excited about fighting such a small country, but it's better to have a war than no war at all, and it's definitely better than staying at home every day.

I hope the intelligence of these French is correct, to be honest, I also do not believe that the anti-ship missiles made by the Chinese have such high performance. However, this is the early stage of the war, and we must not be careless until Argentina is knocked unconscious, we must be careful and careful, we must not become advertising actors for Chinese anti-ship missiles. When the unlucky one among us has tasted the Chinese's anti-ship missiles and knows the performance of their anti-ship missiles, then we will put Argentine planes into our defense circle, and I will use our anti-aircraft missiles to make them into roast chickens. ”

"Hahaha......" several officers laughed happily.

The chief of staff said with a smile: "We have enough 'Sea Javelin' ship-to-air missiles to shoot down all Argentine aircraft." ”

At this time, the communications officer came in again and reported: "Report, an unknown plane was discovered, and a radar scan was carried out on our fleet at a distance of 100 kilometers, but it retreated after five minutes. ”

Salter said angrily: "Pay attention to the surveillance, and next time, immediately take off the helicopter and launch an anti-aircraft missile to shoot it down!" ”

Helicopters are dangerous to take off and land at night, and it's hard for helicopters to hit fixed-wing aircraft, but Sarter really doesn't want to be stared at, and the British air-to-air missiles are so good that they can drive it away even if they can't shoot down that pesky fly.

"Yes!" The Communications Officer replied aloud.

The chief of staff muttered: "The Argentine Air Force is still reconnoitring so late. Tonight was a bit unusual. ”

……

While both Argentina and Britain are on edge, Guo and Princess Madeleine are debating how to further suppress the shares of the French aerospace company.

Because some time ago, the aerospace company allowed its company's stock to fall and ignored it, trying to buy the bottom after the fact that China's missiles did nothing was proven, so the IIC company did not continue to sell the stocks that had been established some time ago, and there were still many stocks of the aerospace company in hand, and they were ready to wait for the stock price to rise or rebound before selling. Now Guo Zhuocheng will not do this, he wants to make good use of this opportunity, and let the French steal chickens and rice.

Princess Madeleine said: "Guo, are you really sure that Argentina's attack will be successful this time? ”

Guo Shucheng smiled: "Of course. This time, our YJ0 will definitely surprise the UK and the world. ”

She smiled and said, "Then let's buy more short contracts for aerospace companies in the futures market, right?" ”

Guo Shucheng shook his head and said, "Enough is enough." If we buy too much, the big financial dollars may be eyeing us. If they come up with tens of billions of dollars to bet on us, we will only lose. It is an established company, and it is possible that the stock price will fall sharply temporarily, and it is a bit unrealistic to want it to fall too much. Besides, our IIC company has to live in the financial market for a few more years, and there is no need to offend them too much. ”
