I don't seem to have much reason to refuse the captain's offer.

After all, I'm here as an advisor to the British Army, so it's my job to help the SAS attack the Falklands.

On the other hand, and more importantly, as the commander of the synthetic battalion, I also want to personally participate in the battle of SAS, which is undoubtedly of great benefit to the formation of our synthetic battalion and even the special forces of our army.

The only thing I'm worried about is......

"Captain!" I asked, "May I know which warship you are on?" ”

I asked this because I knew that if I wanted to cooperate with SAS, I would have to go back to the fleet. You know, I just tried so hard to find an excuse to escape from the Sheffield, and now if I go back inexplicably, it won't be wronged.

"The Antrim!" The captain was a little strange: "Why is the colonel asking this?" ”

"Oh, nothing!" I was relieved to hear that this warship was not the Sheffield.

But it seems that this is the way it should be, and SAS is a special forces.

Special forces meant that they often had to fight on the front lines, and they also needed the fire support of some warships, which was obviously inappropriate to place them directly on Clapp's command ship.

"No problem!" Thinking about it, I nodded and said, "When are we leaving?" ”

"Thank you very much!" The captain replied, "Right now!" ”

I looked at Lin Xia, who was rolling her eyes next to me, and couldn't help but feel funny, we had just arrived on this South Island from the warship, and we were about to return to the fleet.

But it didn't take long for me to know we were wrong. Because the helicopter had only been flying for more than half an hour in the dark of night before it stopped on a warship.

So I quickly understood. In fact, the SAS broke away from the fleet and went to South Georgia for exercises on its own. At the same time, I realized that SAS was likely to run into a problem with the Falklands landing plan.

The reason is very simple: South Georgia is more than 1,300 kilometers away from the Falklands, and this more than 1,000 kilometers may be a matter of a few hours for a helicopter, but it will take more than 20 hours for a warship with a speed of 30 knots.

To put it simply, it would take a whole day to get to the Falklands right now...... This was simply unimaginable when the British army needed to launch a landing battle on the Falklands at any time, unless they encountered a thorny problem when landing on the Falklands.

"Colonel!" Just as I thoughtfully stepped out of the helicopter and onto the deck, a British officer with a stern face walked up to me, shook hands with me warmly, and said, "I'm surprised to hear that you have defeated my troops!" ”

"Your troops? Do you mean SAS? Hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at the officer in front of me.

Judging by his military rank, he should be a lieutenant colonel. When shaking hands just now, I clearly felt that there was a thick callus on his right index finger, which was obviously the result of a long-term trigger pull. Although his appearance is unremarkable, he looks like an ordinary British soldier, and you may even think that he is an "outdated" soldier from a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes...... What we mean by "outdated" refers to the fact that veterans who have reached a certain age have experience, but they will inevitably have situations that are not suitable for the battlefield, such as physical regression and slower reaction speed.

However, I obviously didn't see this in the eyes of this lieutenant colonel, but there was a faint murderous aura. Just looking at that, I have reason to believe that he has the skills to be as good as the youngsters.

The reason is that a large part of the old age depends on mentality and self-confidence, which is why some people feel that they are full of body when they are not retired, and they feel much older when they retire.

"I'm sorry!" The lieutenant colonel introduced: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Kent, the commander of the SAS unit of the task force!" ”

"It's an honor to meet you!" I secretly said that the rank of this SAS is not high. For example, this commander is only a lieutenant colonel.

However, this also seems to be in line with the establishment of special forces...... The number of special forces is small, for example, this time the SAS went out with the task force only 400 people. It is not surprising that the Supreme Commander was a lieutenant colonel. It's like our synthetic camp...... As the Supreme Commander, I'm not just a battalion commander!

But military rank doesn't seem to be very important to special forces, because as special forces, they have a transcendent status compared to ordinary troops...... Regardless of the rank, ordinary troops will be immediately convinced as soon as they see the wings and daggers on the shoulders of SAS members, and the line below "whodareswins" (brave and fearless). Just like Major Will had to whisper to a SAS lieutenant before.

"Colonel Yang Xuefeng!" Lieutenant Colonel Kent welcomed me into the cabin and said, "I heard that you fought in the war in Afghanistan against the Soviets, but I didn't know that you were also proficient in special operations!" ”

I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this, and secretly said that this Lieutenant Colonel Kent really has a good eyesight, and he sensitively knew from my table in the exercise that we had also trained in special operations, otherwise it would not be possible to estimate their every move so accurately.

At the same time, I realized that SAS might not have brought me here just to help them fight, but probably to see how much effort we had.

This should be said to be normal, first of all, as a special forces, especially if this Kent is still a lieutenant colonel, then they will be naturally sensitive to information...... Special forces, in a way, are about obtaining reliable intelligence and information and relying on that information to hit the ground running.

Secondly, Kent obviously thought that we did not have special forces in China, but now it seems that this is not the case, so as they are also special forces, of course, they want to know which of our potential competitors is better or worse than them. In this way, if they become opponents of each other on the battlefield in the future, they will also be mentally prepared.

At this time, of course, I would not be so stupid, for the sake of face or some honor, I would reveal our family background to Kent for the sake of face or some honor.

"I thought it was a compliment!" I replied with a smile: "But I am ashamed of the point of 'proficient in special operations', as we all know that China does not have special forces!" ”

"As for why we won this exercise!" I paused for a moment to remember, and then continued: "I think it's probably because of luck that we fought a lot of battles, especially in Afghanistan against the Soviet Airborne Forces, the Soviet special forces!" ”

"Hmmm! I've heard about it too! Kent nodded: "It is said that you have also fought with the Alpha forces, and they have suffered losses!" ”

"That's true!" I said: "It is precisely because we have fought with special forces that we are no strangers to things like airborne and parachute landing, and it is clear that this experience also played a role in the exercise." To put it simply, we cannot say that we are proficient in special operations, but that we know how to fight special forces! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Kent couldn't help but nod his head.

This was where my brilliance came in, and I did not simply say that it was luck in replying to his words, but that I had come up with a perfectly convincing reason to mislead Kent in this direction.

"As for being proficient in special operations," I said...... "to be honest, we have also thought about it, after all, we have fought with the special forces of the Soviet Union and know the superiority of special tactics." But because of the conditions...... You know, our helicopters and other equipment, such as communication systems, reconnaissance systems, simply do not meet the requirements of special operations.

So ......"

I spread my hands helplessly.

"I'm sorry for you!" Kent apparently believed me: "I am fully convinced that if you have these conditions, it will be enough to build a good special forces!" ”

"That's what I thought too!" My face was full of regret.

Suddenly I found myself more and more suitable to be an actor, and it seemed that it was really not easy to be a commander, because it was this position that forced me to learn to "tell the truth".

"Here's the thing!" When he walked into the bed cabin of Kent as the headquarters, Kent quickly showed his style of doing things, and he didn't even give me some rest or introduce his assistants, he went straight to the point, pointed to the map, and said, "I think you have guessed that we are having trouble landing on the Falklands." In fact, we were planning to land on the Falklands from the very beginning, but we couldn't come up with a satisfactory plan! ”

"How so?" I couldn't help but feel a little strange when I heard this.

I don't mean to pretend this, because historical knowledge tells me that the British army did not meet much resistance when they landed on the Falklands. Except, of course, that the Argentine Air Force launched another fierce attack when the British army launched a landing. As for the Argentine Army on the Falklands...... As mentioned before, 200 people were killed, hundreds were wounded, and the remaining 10,000 people all surrendered.

How can such a force still give SAS a headache?

But it's possible, first of all, SAS didn't know that this would be the case for the Argentine Army on the Falklands. In fact, no one thought of this, because at this time, the British army thought that the Argentine Navy would not go to war because the submarines and anti-submarine equipment were too backward, and the Argentine Air Force was so heroic, so it took it for granted...... The Argentine Army will not be far from it either.

So they had a headache to face the tens of thousands of Argentine troops on the Falklands, not to mention that these Argentine troops still had a firm foothold on the island and waited for work, while the British army of more than 10,000 people had to rush to the beach to land.

What's more, there are reasons why everything is difficult at the beginning, especially since the special forces have to use this 400-strong force to open up the situation on the Falklands where tens of thousands of Argentine troops are stationed. (To be continued......)
