329. The war begins

The workers led by Alfre did not know that they were just flying the Argentine flag during the construction, but it attracted a great [***].

Although the British Empire has declined, a second-rate military power is also a military power, and its sovereignty must not be allowed to be violated!

Since it was after the breakdown of negotiations between the two countries that the Argentine workers raised the flag on South Georgia, the British immediately regarded this move as a planned insult, such a situation must not be allowed to happen!

In addition to the diplomatic outcry, the few hundred British soldiers stationed in the Falklands are not vegetarians.

After a brief period of deliberation, the Navy's icebreaker HMS Shinobu, carrying two helicopters and 140 soldiers, headed to the South Island to deter.

Whether they were premeditated or not, in short, this kind of behavior is a great insult to Britain, and such a thing must not be allowed to happen.

Although Argentina was very close to here, and although the British troops stationed in the Falklands were very small, all the people did not take Argentina seriously, and they did not care about the few strong objections from Argentina.

Will the Argentine army dare to come over? Those cowardly guys! Besides, Galtieri has been overwhelmed by the domestic strike issue, and it is said that the army has been dispatched to suppress it, and the domestic political situation is unstable, and he still dares to go outside? Is Galtieri that stupid?

The British soldiers just decided to arrest these uninteresting Argentines and send them back to Argentina, not expecting that their actions would deeply irritate the man on the other side of the sea.

"The British army has sent out in a vain attempt to detain our people, they are just hoisting the national flag, why can't they fly their own flag on their own land?" Galtieri said angrily.

In his eyes, the Malvinas Islands were of course theirs, and he was already unhappy because the islands were occupied by the British, and now that people were about to be detained by the other party, he felt even more unhappy.

"The problem of the Falklands is caused by the previous [***], and we must face it with a tough attitude!" Galtieri said.

"General, what do you mean?" Anaya asked.

"Operation Rosario, it can't be delayed any longer." Galtieri said.

"No, General." Anaya's colleague, Commander of Naval Operations Lombardo, said: "Our navy, which is not fully prepared, many of the bomb fuses are aging and have not been overhauled, especially the weapons ordered from various countries, which are not yet in place, and it is very hasty to launch an attack now. ”

Lombardo was also one of those involved in the core secrets.

"Shall we let our people suffer such humiliation? Arrested by the British, and then sentenced according to their laws? Galtieri's eyes were like a torch.

"General, we don't have the capacity to produce weapons, we need to import all our weapons, we have a serious shortage of ammunition reserves, and if we go on the offensive like this," Lombardo said.

"What? Isn't the Navy capable of completing the task? "Galtieri was already very dissatisfied.

Anaya pulled his own colleagues, Lombardo is very good at doing things, but he can't be a man, and he can win Galtieri's admiration, it is by his ability, but it is very irrational to contradict the general like this.

"The Navy is capable of capturing the Falklands, but it is not capable of facing the British fleet coming from the ocean." Anaya said.

"So what are you waiting for? Prepare now! Galtieri said.

"No, General!" Lombardo was going to get out of the way, and he knew what it would mean if there was a war.

"General, if the ocean-going fleet of the British comes, especially their attack nuclear submarines, our navy and air force, will simply not be able to stop them, and if there is a war, the countries impose an arms embargo on us, and the weapons we ordered from countries such as France and Germany cannot arrive, how can we confront the British navy?" Lombardo said.

"Lombardo, you're too cowardly." Galtieri didn't get angry, but smiled: "Let's watch out for the fleet of the British, that's just the worst-case scenario, will the British come from far away?" Besides, even if they come, our navy and air force will definitely be able to defeat them! Arms embargo? Absolutely impossible, you know, I have a very good relationship with US President Ronald Reagan, and the Americans will stand firmly behind us. ”

"But..."

"Nothing, get ready to go!" "Within two days," said Galtieri, "be ready to attack. ”

Another pledge from Galtieri was President Reagan's support. With the good relations between Argentina and the United States, even if there is a real war, weapons can still be shipped in the same way, but in the current situation, if you don't start to act, you may really be bombed out of power.

Galtieri is very confident in his relationship with the United States, but he has not thought about it, the relationship between the United States and him, less than two years, the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, has been hundreds of years, and even the British nuclear submarines are directly used American-made nuclear reactors!

Abadan Air Base.

This was a huge plan of attack, with the participation of three squadrons of MiG-23, three squadrons of MiG-21, two squadrons of Su-20, except for one squadron of MiG-23, one squadron of MiG-21 to provide anti-air cover, the rest, were hung with bombs.

In addition to these aircraft, there are two MiG-23s, which are very peculiar, and they carry not bombs, but a large, never-before-seen pod.

In front of the pod is a small propeller, which is what the experts have come up with.

Due to the lack of power that the fighter itself can provide, the small propeller in front is used to drive the generator that follows it, constituting a wind turbine, which is enough for the jammer behind.

However, in this way, the drag will increase, so the two MiG-23s, except for two short-range air-to-air missiles for self-defense, have no other weapons, and two more auxiliary fuel tanks are hung.

The commander-in-chief of this air raid was still the bold air combat hero Arslan.

The airport is busy and intense.

In Aladan, the 35th Panzer Division was also ready to fight, ammunition and fuel supplies had been distributed to all tanks, and the vanguard of this sortie was the Panzer Ali's Reading Armored Regiment.

Although the 35th Division was the first unit of the army, and Ali's armored regiment was at the front, Ali was not very happy, because this mission was still a feint!

Khomeini Port, even in front of him, and not allowed to attack, how boring the battle was!
