Chapter 1329: Naval Battle VI

"The anti-ship missiles just now are so fierce that they probably frightened the Royal Navy, look, within a range of 500 kilometers, their radar can clearly detect us, but they don't come to conduct air combat, it's just too embarrassing, we are equipped with air-to-air missiles this time, and we can't launch an attack on the mixed fleet, it's really depressing." The fighter squadron of the Argentine Air Force had no choice but to circle around the aircraft carrier.

"Pay attention, you idiots are getting closer and closer to the mixed fleet, I really don't know how the dead word is written, the destroyers and frigates of the other side have slowly formed a battle formation, beware of being shot down by someone's anti-aircraft missiles, I won't buy you a corpse!" The chief of operations of the Argentine Air Force Command looked at the drone screen and scolded the pilots.

The chief of staff of the Royal Navy, looking at the video footage transmitted back by the US Air Force, almost fainted in distress, in just a few minutes, the Royal Navy lost five warships, he didn't have to guess, the Argentine strategic bomber flew back does not mean that the mission is over, but to refuel and reload and fly back to the battlefield again, this process is only a few hours at most.

The situation of the mixed fleet is very bad, it is really not capable of resisting saturation anti-ship missile attacks, the surrounding destroyers and frigates, the launch distance of anti-aircraft missiles is too close, and the speed of Sea Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighters is too low, in such a situation, will the next round of saturation missile attacks threaten the safety of aircraft carriers?

"My mood is as sad and anxious as yours, in fact, we have lost the second Falklands War, if we don't end the war immediately, these two aircraft carriers will definitely be sunk, but bad things are not necessarily not good things, our government is too greedy for comfort, and has been doing everything possible to reduce the military budget, so that they do not feel threatened, and will suffer greater losses in the future." The Chief of the National Defense Staff said coldly.

The way of thinking of the government and the military is absolutely different, and the government's bigwigs think about how to stimulate economic development and people's livelihood, so that they can be recognized by the voters, continue to hold the power of the country, and reduce the military establishment and military spending, which is one of the important links, otherwise where will there be so much money to implement the plan?

And the big men of the army thought about how to add modern and sophisticated weapons and equipment, improve their overall combat effectiveness, and restore the status and influence of the British Empire at that time, even if it was worth making some sacrifices for this strategic goal.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the current situation is very critical, none of us thought that the Argentine army, with the help of mercenaries, has degenerated to such a terrifying level, and if it continues like this, the last mixed fleet of the Royal Navy may sink forever at the bottom of the Atlantic!" The Chief of Staff of the Navy came to the Prime Minister's Office and said.

"Secretary Donald of the United States also called me and complained that our preparations were too bad, the Argentine navy, land and air force are equipped with the cutting-edge weapons of mercenary regiments, and tens of billions of dollars have been invested in front and back, but the United Kingdom, knowing that the opponent is actively preparing for war, seems to be doing nothing, and still uses those old-fashioned equipment from the Cold War to deal with it, which is simply murdering the lives of officers and soldiers!"

"Although the former Soviet Union lagged behind in aircraft carriers, its anti-ship missile manufacturing technology was the most advanced in the world, and the US Navy has also admitted that even the Aegis combat system could not completely withstand the attack of the former Soviet Union's anti-ship missiles, and our two aircraft carriers are now very dangerous." said the Minister of Defense.

The performance of the British Royal Navy is so poor that governments and militaries around the world feel incredible, and there is also a strong interest in Russian anti-ship missiles. After all, in everyone's eyes, the anti-ship missiles used by the Argentine Air Force were procured from Russia, and no one knew that this was an improved version made by mercenaries.

"In order to protect the British sea and safeguard the interests of the United Kingdom, we must save these two aircraft carriers, and if we lose the aircraft carrier, the Royal Navy will completely lose the ability of the blue-water navy, and can only announce its withdrawal from the sequence of naval powers." said the Chief of the Defense Staff.

However, as the prime minister, he has more things to think about, and he has been unable to make this decision for a long time. It is one thing to lose the Falklands War, and the military shares some of the pressure, but when it comes to negotiating a compromise with the Argentine government, the pressure is all on the government's side.

Fools know that the Argentine government will inevitably take back an inch of the Falklands, perhaps with South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and even the occupied Ascension Island, and the winner will decide the outcome, and the loser will have no room for bargaining.

But the war will not leave him time, after refueling and reloading, the strategic bomber formation flew to the vicinity of the mixed fleet again, where there was a tragic battle, twenty-four Shield Defender-2 road-based fighters, aimed at the mixed fleet to launch anti-ship missiles, and then with the escort Sea Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighters engaged in an unequal air battle.

One is the dignified American standard fourth-generation fighter Russian standard fifth-generation fighter, the other is the Russian standard third-generation fighter, the combat result is no suspense, the Shield Defender-2 road-based multi-role fighter uses the American AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missile, the maximum range is 110 kilometers, the Sea Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter uses the Sidewinder air-to-air missile, the range is only 18.5 kilometers, this is not looking for death?

"Look, the two British aircraft carriers were all hit, all of them were fire and smoke, this scene is too miserable, such a powerful anti-ship missile, this is also a great threat to our US Navy!" The U.S. Secretary of the Navy stood up directly and pointed to the screen on the monitor and said.

The Excellence and the Ark Royal are now miserable, the huge explosion directly tore the hull of the ship, and it is estimated that it will soon sink to the bottom of the sea, seeing that there is no possibility of rescue, the captain has already ordered the ship to be abandoned.

After the loss of the aircraft carrier, this naval battle, which lasted for more than ten hours, ended, and of course, the Falklands War was also over, and the defeat of the British side was decided. It is definitely a shame for the British Royal Navy to fight like this, but who stipulates that the balance of victory must be tilted in favor of Britain?

Who did the good deeds? Of course, it was the nuclear submarine formation that lurked underwater!

The mixed fleet was tossed by the air force and was incapable of anti-submarine, and the nuclear submarine naturally launched an attack smoothly, but in line with the principle of not wasting, only four P-1000 volcanic anti-ship missiles and four Thunderbolt-1 hypersonic cruise missiles were used in this attack, don't underestimate these anti-ship missiles, if they are sold, one is worth at least 30 million dollars, and most countries have no place to buy them with money, because they can't buy them!
