If I were a fortune teller, then I could pinch my fingers at this time, and then pretend to be profound and say to Zhao Jingping: "Don't worry, this battle will definitely be won by Britain, so there will be no indirect impact on the United States or our country at all!" ”

It's a pity that I'm not, I'm just a soldier, so I can only think about it in my current form.

So I thought about it for a while and nodded: "This may indeed be a zài, but I think it is very unlikely." Besides, even if the United States is distracted in the direction of Argentina, it may not be relaxed on the part of the Soviet Union, and the Yankees have a lot of money! ”

"That's the way it is! But we have to think about the worst in everything! ”

Zhao Jingping's sentence made me not know how to answer, military affairs are indeed like this, no matter what it is, as long as there is a slight possibility, we must consider the worst direction, otherwise it will be a nightmare once this situation happens.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, the correspondent took the phone and reported to me: "Commander Zhang's phone ......."

Needless to say, it must have been called for the outbreak of war between Britain and Afghanistan in the Falklands.

As I expected, as soon as I picked up the phone to identify myself, Commander Zhang asked on the other end of the phone: "Falklands are fighting, do you know?!" ”

"Just knew!" I replied.

"You put aside what you're doing." Commander Zhang said: "Go back to Beijing immediately!" ”

"Yes!" I stepped up.

To be honest, I didn't want to go to this conference, because for me, a modern person who knows history, these discussions, considerations, preparations, and so on. It's all groundless.

However, it is not accurate to say that this is "unfounded". Because if you put yourself in the shoes of people in this era. Such a big event has happened in the international community, and it is still something that may affect our ally, the United States, and it is indeed necessary to pay enough attention to it.

But at this time, I didn't know what excuse to find to tell Commander Zhang and the others that they didn't need to worry about this, so I had no choice but to hand over the training work in the base to Captain Chen temporarily, and then called Zhao Jingping to set off with a few guards and communicators.

Because we had our own driver and were just in time to catch the plane to Beijing, we rushed to the Beijing base at one o'clock that night.

I originally thought that Commander Zhang should have slept by this time, so I planned to rest for one night and report to him the second time. Unexpectedly, Commander Zhang seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, when our jeep drove into the gate of the base to check the pass. The soldier on duty saluted us and said, "The commander's order, the battalion commander will go to the headquarters as soon as he returns!" ”

I couldn't help but smile wryly...... I almost forgot that Commander Zhang was an acute and night owl.

So the jeep drove to the headquarters, and sure enough, the lights in the headquarters were still bright, not only did Commander Zhang not sleep, but it seemed that some correspondents or intelligence officers were busy.

"It's coming!" Seeing me walk in, Commander Zhang just nodded slightly, still looking at Wen Jiàn in his hand.

I knew that this was the time for Commander Zhang to think, so I sat at my desk silently and drank the tea handed by the guard...... It was a car and a plane, and it was already one o'clock in the night, so I really needed some tea to refresh myself.

Unexpectedly, my move quickly attracted Commander Zhang's attention. He gave me a surprised look and pushed his glasses on his nose. said: "Why do you seem to not care at all when something so big happens?" ”

"Hmm!" That's when I realized I had made a mistake.

As a soldier, a soldier of this era, the normal state in this situation should be to be anxious to know the latest war developments, or to discuss with Commander Zhang to see what kind of preparations we should make, but I was leisurely drinking tea.

"Report to the Commander!" Fortunately, my head turned quite quickly, and I immediately stood up and replied: "It's not that I don't care, it's because I don't want to interrupt the commander's train of thought!" ”

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang nodded, then pointed to a map on the table, looked for a while, and then pointed to a location and said: "The place where the war is fought is here, the Malvinas Islands, also called the Falkland Islands!" ”

I am no stranger to this place, because I have traveled here in modern times, so I know that it is the farthest place from Beijing, that is, if you find the location of Beijing on the globe, and then make a hole to hit the opposite side...... It's pretty much Argentina.

"Because this war has just begun!" Commander Zhang said: "So we have very little information, and the initial information is that a huge British fleet has traveled 13,000 kilometers to this Malvinas Islands, while Argentina is only 500 kilometers away from this island. Britain may have an advantage in military power, but the Falklands have an absolute geographical advantage. So it's still unknown who will die in this battle! ”

"Commander!" In order to dispel Commander Zhang's worries about this matter, I said in a good direction: "I don't think we need to worry too much about this matter, this battle was fought on a small island, and it should be a local war." In other words, the possibility of expansion is very small, and the time will not be too long, and the indirect impact on the United States and us will be quite limited! ”

"You may be right!" Commander Zhang nodded and said, "In fact, we have also considered this, and we also think that this war on the other side of the world will not have a big indirect impact on us!" ”

"Then Commander, this is ......" I was a little strange when I heard this, if Commander Zhang was not as worried about the impact of the Battle of the Falklands as Zhao Jingping, then he was so anxious to come back to me to discuss something.

"The problem is the location of this Malvinas Island!" Commander Zhang said: "It is only 500 kilometers away from Argentina and more than 13,000 kilometers away from Britain, and in terms of military strength, Britain is still strong and Argentina is weak, so what do you think of from this?" ”

What comes to mind? I was even more confused when Commander Zhang asked me this, what else could I think of? Isn't it just a far away and a near!

Seeing that I didn't react for a long time, Commander Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said that you, Yang Xuefeng, are quite shrewd on big issues, why can't you react on this small issue?" Taiwan is only a little more than 100 kilometers away from us! ”

"Oh!" When I heard this, it dawned on me that it was because of this consideration.

But if you think about it, my country still has the psychology of desperately wanting to take back Taiwan in this era, and if Taiwan is to be recovered, there will definitely be Western powers involved, so it is very likely that there will be a situation like the Falklands War...... Taiwan Island and Falklands are both a group of islands, both of which are not far from the coastline of the mainland, and in terms of military strength, Britain is also strong and Argentina is weak.

In other words, this war has a good reference for us, and it is almost a real combat military exercise for us to see, so that we know where we can strengthen ourselves, or which aspect is the enemy's weak point, and so on.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help nodding secretly, secretly thinking that Jiang is really still old and spicy, this is to point out a clear way for the reform of our army! It can be said that this cannot be simulated by any military exercise, and it is a "military exercise" that is too realistic to be realistic.

Unfortunately, I am still a veteran of a few years of war, but I have no sensitivity to such a good thing.

"What are your thoughts on this?" Commander Zhang asked.

After thinking about ......it, I said: "Hearing what the commander said, I feel that we should grasp the process of this war in as much detail as possible, because it is very likely to provide a basis for the development of our army in the future, and it will enable our army reform to avoid detours and develop on the right path as soon as possible!" ”

"That's right!" Commander Zhang nodded: "Actually, this is not just a matter of Taiwan, we have many small islands in the South China Sea and the East China Sea and other small islands that have territorial disputes with neighboring countries. That is to say, now such a war is of great significance for us, for such a war...... We don't want to hear just trivial or military paraphrases from other people's mouths, but we need as comprehensive and truthful information as possible! ”

Commander Zhang meant...... "I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, this task won't fall on me again!"

But this happened unfortunately, so I guessed it correctly.

In the next second, Commander Zhang smiled and nodded: "This matter is also a coincidence, the British army considers that this Falklands Island is more than 12,000 square kilometers, and the British army will eventually land on the island to engage in a land battle with Argentina." The terrain of the Falklands is very complicated, there are many hills, rivers, and two east-west mountains on the island, and the British army is worried that the Argentine army will use these complex terrain to carry out guerrilla warfare, so it needs an expert in guerrilla warfare, and the British army basically does not have talents in this area, or there are no talents in modern warfare game warfare......"

Speaking of this, Commander Zhang looked at me with a smile and a word.

Of course, I knew what Commander Zhang meant, but I still asked suspiciously: "I haven't been in contact with these Brits, how can they find me?!" ”

"Have you forgotten the guerrilla warfare you fought in Afghanistan?" Commander Zhang said, "You forgot to work with Colonel Smith in Afghanistan? ”

"Oh!" When I heard this, I understood that it must have been a good thing that Colonel Smith had done.

You must know that Britain and the United States are hardcore allies, and at this time in history, the United States even said that as long as Britain needs it, it can lend aircraft carriers to Britain at any time, so this military information will naturally be exchanged.

Sure enough, I heard Commander Zhang say: "You are a person highly recommended by Colonel Smith, and you have also written a report on your organization of guerrillas in Afghanistan and the process of fighting, so this Briton really recognizes you!" (To be continued......)
