Chapter 857: I'm in good health
"Two enemies, fight them to death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info or that sentence, what do they ask us for? Then it's all well said. General Galtieri gave him all the information he wanted, telling him that Britain was using all its strength to wage war, and as long as it withstood this wave of attacks, Britain could not conjure up a second Royal Navy out of thin air. "The General Political Commissar has always spoken standing and speaking without backache, and now he can only give some moral support to the Argentine, if he has not forgotten the words of the last left-wing government in Argentina.
What else can I do now? Serov thought for a while, because the relationship between Argentina and Chile was very poor, so the imaginary enemy of the Argentine Air Force was also Chile, so in the Falklands War, the Argentine Air Force was slightly less red than the Army and Navy. But the strong ones are also limited, because Argentina once wanted to raid Chile, so the Argentine Air Force specially practiced bombing on the ground.
This is when the Battle of the Falklands appeared, the ultra-low-altitude penetration of Argentine Air Force pilots, which was originally prepared for Chile.
Also for this reason, the Soviet Union specially manufactured a batch of anti-aircraft missiles against Argentina, and now it seems that this batch of anti-aircraft missiles will not be used by Chile in a short time, but before the official start of the war, there were indeed two sets of SAM missile launchers on the Falklands. That's right, the oldest Soviet anti-aircraft missile, the Sam-2 type. Sent to Argentina by President Allende.
The SAM-2 anti-aircraft missile is now more embarrassing among the weapons sold by the USSR, and even the countries of the Middle East are not easily fooled. It stands to reason that there should be little use in the face of Britain, but it is also necessary to see who the opponent is, if it is a British-made Vulcan bomber in the fifties, Comrade Sam can fight for another twenty years.
It is impossible to defeat an industrial country by giving weapons to an agricultural country, Serov is not ready to complete this Zenith mission, he just wants to take advantage of the fact that Britain is not paying attention, and get a little advantage, that's all.
"Where is the Red Navy!" Serov, who was interrupted and patted on the back, did not get angry, but asked with interest.
"Four hundred nautical miles east of the British Royal Navy, there are twelve Backfire bombers protecting our air base in Angola!" Servanov, head of the General Affairs Department, said that this information was in his mind.
Four hundred nautical miles was a relatively safe position, and the range of the Granite heavy anti-ship missiles carried by the Red Navy was not enough to threaten the British Royal Navy, and the Harrier fighters of the British Royal Navy were also not able to pose a threat to the Soviet Red Navy. However, even so, the United States was still afraid that the Soviet Union would be agitated and launch an attack to fish in troubled waters, so nearly 100 nautical miles northwest of the Soviet Red Navy, there was still an American aircraft carrier fleet monitoring the situation of the Red Navy.
That was the ultimate range of the Red Navy's Granite heavy anti-ship missiles, and although the U.S. Navy didn't know about it, it stayed there for safety, and at the same time showed enough respect for the Angolan Backfire bomber group, and the anti-aircraft radar was always working to complete its own task of monitoring the Soviet Red Navy.
The British Royal Navy is one of the protagonists of this war, but now that this war has just begun, the US Navy and the Soviet Red Navy have begun to steal the show, and the two global navies staring at each other hundreds of nautical miles have overshadowed the British Royal Navy.
The confrontation between the Soviet Red Navy and the US Navy in the South Atlantic caused tremendous repercussions in Latin American countries. Pro-Soviet governments in Cuba, Chile, Nicaragua and Grenada protested one after another. In most Latin American countries, the pro-American forces certainly have the upper hand, but the Latin American economy is not at all associated with success, so the socialist movement is also strong, even if the Soviet Union is not at all enthusiastic about the revolutionary struggle in Latin America. There are still a few small pro-Soviet states in Latin America, and now these small countries are beginning to come out and show their worth.
The United States supports Britain but not the American countries, which has made these small Latin American countries very dissatisfied, but now they are instigated by Cuba and Chile, and the anti-American wave has further erupted, making the United States very passive for a while. The US Navy's surveillance of the Soviet Red Navy was meant to help Britain, and now the anti-American wave that has broken out has embarrassed the US government.
But there can be no retreat, Britain and Argentina are more important, even if they wait for economic aid to Latin America after the war to quell the anti-American wave, they must not retreat now. In front of the White House, Reagan stressed to the ministers that the Soviet Red Navy could not be allowed to approach the waters of the British Expeditionary Force and Argentina. What are you afraid of being scolded, hasn't the Soviet Union been scolded by the United States for decades, and people are not developing very well now.
Moscow was somewhat cool in October, the tentative assault between Britain and Argentina was over, and it is not known when it would begin, and real battles would begin. The British should also be content, there are only two navies in the world watching the battle, and B1 and Tu-95 keep appearing in the sky every day, what a face-saving thing.
As soon as Britain recaptured the island, it was ready to expand its gains even further, and would make any opponent think the worst before facing one of the world's oldest navies and the still powerful British navy; In the early stages of the campaign, the Argentine Navy wisely decided to avoid clashes with the Royal Navy's surface and submarine battle groups. However, the paradox is that the Azerbaijani Navy cannot avoid war or hang up the anti-war card to avoid being harmed by the dignity of the nation.
Lieutenant Commander Reave Brown, Captain of the Conquistador, immediately reported this timely information to Rear Admiral Woodward, the Commander of the Fleet; When the Argentine ships left the 200-nautical-mile blockade of the Falklands declared by the British, the British still had no intention of letting them go and saw them as a threat. Sinking a capital ship is a major blow to the enemy's morale.
At the Cabinet meeting, Margaret Thatcher emphasized this significance, "You should be able to understand the desolation of the whole British Empire when the Hood sank, and the great sense of revenge when the Bismarck was sunk by us." The sinking of a giant emblematic ship of the Argentine Navy helped to break the will of the Argentines to resist. ”
"Moreover, the Soviet Red Navy and the U.S. Navy are facing each other not far from the combat zone, and the Royal Navy should prove its combat capability, on the one hand, to reassure our allies, and on the other hand, to deter the Soviet Red Navy. Today, the British Royal Navy can still conduct expeditions, and it can also dominate the whole world. A hint of pride flashed in Margaret Thatcher's eyes, "Napoleon did not defeat us, Hitler did not defeat us, and we will never lose to a second-rate country." ”
These words made all the cabinet members applaud uncontrollably, and in the hearts of many people, Margaret Thatcher was even more responsible than them, and with the unanimous consent of the cabinet, Margaret Thatcher authorized the nuclear submarine Conqueror to attack.
"The British contingent has an absolute advantage, and the Argentines still have no confidence in the face of the British." In the sky above the two-hundred-nautical-mile blockade zone, a Soviet Tu-95 strategic bomber leisurely patrolled. The British declared that any ships and aircraft entering the two-hundred-nautical-mile blockade zone would be sunk.
Of course, the pilots of the Tu-95 strategic bombers knew about this matter, but there were exceptions to everything, for the British, the two countries with big fists were exceptions, at the beginning of the Soviet aircraft entered the blockade area, the British Royal Navy also carried out vigilance, and expulsion actions, and then stopped paying attention, the Soviet Union would not pay attention to the British move at all, the world is so realistic.
The Tu-95 strategic bomber turned around for a while and then began to return, the Soviet Union had an air base in Angola, which was much more convenient than the British, but it could not be in the sky over the Falklands at any time.
On the edge of the two-hundred-nautical-mile blockade zone, there was also the Soviet ocean-going monitoring fleet, no, the ocean-going fishing fleet. The fishing needs of the Soviet people need to be solved, and in line with the principle that no one can come to our waters, except for the principle that our territorial waters are on the high seas, it is normal for the Soviet fleet to exist in the waters of the South Atlantic.
"What does it have to do with me whether I sink or not?" Holding this telegram from Angola to the Rubyanka, Serov suddenly found the name of an Argentine warship, and instantly knew that this was the Argentine ship that was killed by the British Royal Navy in history, but the General Political Commissar had no fluctuation in his heart and even wanted to laugh, as if he had not seen it, and was not ready to remind the Argentines.
The South Atlantic in October has absolutely nothing to do with warmth, not to mention that it's not far from Antarctica. In the afternoon, night had fallen, but it was the same for the Conqueror nuclear submarine lurking in the deep sea.
Suddenly, the captain was shocked in his heart, and a telegram from the cabinet had arrived at the nuclear submarine "General Belgrano", ordering them to sink the cruiser "General Belgrano", and the nuclear submarine "General Belgrano" quickly launched a pursuit. Just as the flagship of the Argentine Navy was about to return to port, the nuclear submarine Conqueror launched a torpedo attack.
The Tiger torpedo rushed towards the Afghan cruiser at a rate of fire of 80 kilometers per hour, and the mother ship transmitted the homing data to the torpedo's computer through the wire, and the torpedo automatically corrected its course until it approached its final range, and the sonar and magnetic guide devices of the mine body itself automatically took effect and accurately hit the main engine room under the port side of the Argentine ship.
In an instant, the cruiser "General Belgrano" made a huge vibration, water poured into the cabin from a huge hole in a circle of twelve meters, and the warship quickly tilted and sank, accompanied by a spreading fire. A large explosion could occur at any time on the entire cruiser.
When the news came, the whole world was shocked, because the place where the cruiser "General Belgrano" was sunk was outside the area of engagement demarcated by the British Royal Navy, and the Soviet Union did not need to be used as a-stirring stick, and more than a dozen countries in Latin America jointly protested.
"Regarding the October Revolution Festival, of course, my personal opinion is to participate, so don't persuade me, I'm in good health!" Brezhnev said indifferently, "Get ready to celebrate, for the sake of our great Motherland." ”
