Chapter 845: Absolutely Impossible
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.
She stretched out his hand almost at the same time, and finally Guo Zhuocheng grabbed the microphone first: "Hello, I'm Guo." ”
When Guo Zhuocheng finished speaking in English, the other party happily said in Chinese: "We succeeded!" ”
Guo Zhuocheng immediately heard Luo Xi's voice, and he asked in surprise, "Are you sure?" How much? ”
Luo Xi replied: "It is not clear how much the specific results were, the Argentine fighters were driven away by the British fighters and could not go to the scene, but our men reached the skyrocketing fire." In addition, information was received from the defenders of South Georgia that the British aircraft carriers that had been anchored to the east of South Georgia had begun to retreat and were heading for the place of the accident, apparently to provide air defense for the battered task force. I'll report back to you after dawn. ”
The Belgian-flagged freighter, which had been overtaken by the task force before the war, was actually a Chinese-hired vessel with a number of foreign journalists invited by the IIC and, of course, Chinese intelligence officers. Although it was eighty nautical miles away from the task force, it did not take long to reach the scene at an even speed of eighteen nautical miles per hour. Maybe it won't be dawn for the freighter to arrive at the scene of the accident.
In the dark night, the sky-high fire can be transmitted far and wide, and the people on the ship can also find many clues with the help of binoculars.
After hanging up the phone, Guo Zhuocheng couldn't help but hug Princess Madeleine and kissed her deeply...... It took a long time for the two to separate, and Princess Madeleine asked worriedly, "Honey, are you going to leave me now?" ”
Looking at this smart and sensitive girl, Guo Zhuocheng smiled and nodded, and said, "I'm sorry, I still have a lot to do." I'll leave it to you here. ”
Princess Madeleine said plaintively, "It's okay. You've been with me for so many days, and I'm already very satisfied. ......, my dear, don't worry, I'll be able to take care of this matter. You can't go wrong buying and selling shares in an aerospace company. ”
Guo Zhuocheng lowered his head and kissed her again, and said: "If this operation is successful, Argentina will definitely immediately ask you to propose to purchase missiles, and if they acquiesce to the high price we quoted before, you will sell them to them." If they still have to bargain, you can wait a few days. When the British are willing to buy our missiles at a high price, they will presumably take the initiative to raise the price themselves. ”
Princess Madeleine asked in surprise, "The British will also offer to purchase?" ”
Guo Zhuocheng said confidently: "Of course. If only Argentina had such missiles, the war would be a one-sided war, and they could not afford to lose face unless the British asked the United States to intervene in order to win the war. So, they will definitely procure our missiles in order to completely defeat Argentina, defeating it on their own, and not with the help of the United States. ”
Princess Madeleine is not a military expert, nor is she a technical expert, she still doesn't understand for a while, but she definitely doesn't doubt Guo Zhuocheng's inference, he said that the British will take the initiative to buy Chinese weapons, then they will definitely buy them.
She asked instead: "Do we want to sell all the aerospace company shares we have tomorrow?" ”
Guo Zhuocheng knew that the purpose of her asking was just to show that she was attached, not that she really didn't understand cāo, the big policy had been determined, so why was it difficult to make a small cāo? Even if she really didn't know how to do cāo herself, her expert subordinates would be able to do it properly, without her intervention at all.
He smiled and said: "You don't care about these little things, you just stare at the YJ0 anti-ship missile." Try to control the scope of knowledge, and don't let too many people know. The British would have been annoyed if they had known that we were selling large quantities of missiles to Argentina after the embargo. ”
Princess Madeleine nodded earnestly, and then she said softly, "Congratulations, dear. ”
Guo Shucheng smiled and accepted her congratulations, feeling happy in his heart:
With the success of this attack, the fame of the YJ0 anti-ship missile came out, and the French Exocet missile could only be subordinated to the YJ0 for the rest of its life, and it will always be in its shadow.
The glory of French missiles was seized by Chinese missiles, I don't know what these French guys think in their hearts if they knew, and it is estimated that they will tear Guo Shucheng, the initiator, to pieces.
It is precisely because of the success of YJ0 that Guo Zhuocheng does not need to spend too much effort to suppress the French Exocet missile, because the two are no longer of the same level. Even if the performance of the Exocet missile will one day exceed the performance of the YJ0, it will be difficult for it to find a suitable battlefield to verify and prove that it has been tested in actual combat.
No matter how good the performance of a weapon that has not been tested in actual combat, others either don't believe it or think that the manufacturer is bragging. Besides, after China's YJ0 became famous, there were more people who purchased it, and more profits were earned, so it was more able to have funds to improve it, and it was able to use its technology to carry out advanced technology exchanges with other countries, so that its performance has always exceeded the performance of the Exocet missile.
This is not a lie, but it is entirely possible, and Guo Zhuocheng is very confident in this.
Of course, this does not mean that the Exocet missile does not have a chance to go to the battlefield, and if the European and American coalition forces attack Iraq again in the future, perhaps the opportunity for the Exocet missile will come. It's just that this opportunity is far from being as good as the current one, even if the Exocet missile really goes to the battlefield to verify its performance is really good, but people still believe in China's YJ0.
Why? Because Argentina is a weak country, they use YJ0 missiles against the world's naval powers, and they can achieve such great results because of the anti-sky performance of this anti-ship missile.
And even if the French Exocet defeated the weak Iraqi Navy, it was completely taken for granted in the eyes of everyone, and it did not show how powerful the French Exocet missiles were.
Moreover, Guo believes that after Saddam Hussein is killed by Uday, Iraq will probably not invade Kuwait, and it is very likely that it will not be besieged by Western countries, and the two Gulf Wars will not occur.
"To hell with Exocet!" Guo Zhuocheng thought happily in his heart.
With the success of the YJ0 missile, Guo Zhuocheng began to think about his grand plan in his mind.
The next day, Guo took Sun Xingguo on a plane to Iraq. Before returning home, he also wanted the operation of the oil company.
Before entering the waiting room, Luo Xi, who came in a hurry, told him a surprising news:
Argentina sank two ships and damaged one on the spot with five Chinese YJ0 missiles, turning the task force into a lone warship.
One of the sunken warships was the destroyer USS Sheffield, worth $200 million. Although the value of the "Atlantic Transporter," which was converted from a civilian steamer, was not large, only $20 million, it carried more than $300 million in cargo, and it not only carried more than 10 "Harrier" vertical take-off and landing fighters and several helicopters, but also a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and military supplies. If it weren't for the detonation of the ammunition inside, just two missiles would not have been able to send such a large transport ship to the bottom of the sea at once.
Although the frigate "Antelope" did not sink immediately, all the equipment on board was blown up, and almost all the personnel on board were killed or wounded. Because the ship had no repair value, after obtaining the consent of its superiors, the destroyer "Coventry" used two torpedoes to blow up the tilted "Antelope" into three pieces, and sank in the miserable eyes of all the officers and men.
Even if we do not count the casualties of the officers and men, the demoralization of the British Navy, the various attritions caused by the British Navy's aircraft dispatched for this purpose, and still less the losses caused by the postponement and change of the entire operation plan, the material losses of this task force alone are 600 million US dollars!
And Argentina paid only five anti-ship missiles, which was only a mere $1.2 million at the purchase price at that time! The ratio of material consumption between the two sides is as high as 500, while the ratio of soldier damage is 0:900!
After getting this information, Guo Zhuocheng was stupid and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until the airport radio said that the plane was about to stop checking tickets, and he moved forward: My God, the fruits of this battle are too big, it's a bit unbelievable.
Even Guo Zhuocheng was so dumbfounded, and it is conceivable how Argentina and Britain were shocked:
The high-ranking officials of the Argentine Army were stunned one by one, unable to believe that it was true. President Galtieri, although he was pleasantly surprised, and although he hoped for such an exciting result, he nevertheless ordered all departments to keep it secret, and strictly ordered the departments concerned to take immediate action to confirm the authenticity of this result. It was not that he did not want to announce it, but he was afraid that if it was confirmed to be false, he would be ridiculed by world public opinion and pushed down by the deceived people.
Argentina remained silent in disbelief, but the British government was so shocked by the terrible news that it almost fainted en masse. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was even more angry and personally ordered the Navy Command to give her a truthful report and a detailed explanation.
Because this matter is so embarrassing, the British side naturally kept it strictly secret and did not reveal anything to the outside world.
Although several countries received telegrams and faxes from the Belgian-flagged steamer, the newspapers did not dare to report on it, but only nervously and anxiously asked those reporters what they had arrived and whether they could confirm it with Argentina and Britain. At the same time, they themselves kept calling Argentina and Britain to inquire about the authenticity of the news.
It's not that they have a lot of professionalism, it's not that they have a lot of work ethic, it's just that the news is too sensational, it's too embarrassing for them: when will it be the turn of Britain to be bullied by a former colony like Argentina? When did the weapons of the most developed Western countries lag behind the weapons of China? How embarrassing is this?
Don't believe it! Absolutely not convinced! No way! When pigs fly!
