We were soon flying to the surface with a helicopter.

It can be seen that Major Will is a little nervous, taking off his hat from time to time to arrange his loose hair when he is on the helicopter, and occasionally checking the buttons and armed belts of his military uniform.

In stark contrast, I had no image at all, and I hadn't even washed my face before, and if I rubbed it, I would get a little mortar smoke to blacken the powder.

Of course, along with us are Lin Xia and Xu Jianping, who are translators so they have to go with us.

I am not familiar with this Brigadier General Clapp, whom I am about to meet...... In fact, I am not familiar with any of these British generals, partly because the names of the British are more difficult to remember, and partly because these wars seem to be none of our business, so I don't bother to remember them at all.

The only British general I know of about the Falklands War is its commander, Major General Woodward, and as for this Brigadier General Clapp, he has no idea at all, and he should be a general under Woodward.

Later, after listening to Major Will's explanation, I realized that I was wrong, and I was very wrong.

"Our task force is commanded by Admiral John Federhouse!" "Under his command, the whole fleet is divided into several subfleets, for example, Rear Admiral Woodward mainly commands a subfleet of two aircraft carriers, and Commodore Clapp, who we are going to, commands a subfleet composed of other warships. ”

"Oh!" When I heard that, I understood.

It should be said that this is also normal, because the operation of this aircraft carrier can be said to be completely different from the operation of other warships, and the aircraft carrier can be said to be a protected object in close naval combat. It is mainly used to send airborne aircraft to carry out long-range strikes or to cooperate with other warships. And warships are different. Their main battlefield is on the sea.

So conceivably so. The "several subfleets" mentioned by Major Will should also include submarine subfleets, troop transport subfleets, transport and supply ship fleets, and so on.

From this point of view, it is really a bit difficult to command this task force, which has a total of more than 100 ships.

I was also a little relieved to hear these words of Major Will, I thought that this Commodore Clapp was just a small person in the British task force, but now it seems that his command of the fleet is completely not under Woodward, and it can even be said that his command is wider than that of Woodward.

I think. The reason why Woodward is more famous in history and even many people think that he is the commander of the entire fleet of the Falklands War is probably because aircraft carriers are the top priority of naval warfare, so many people take it for granted that the aircraft carrier commander is the commander-in-chief of the fleet.

And I believe that if it were at the level of Clapp, it might have been more helpful for my observations.

I made a simple comparison while the helicopter was still flying in the sky, and if I was going to see Woodward this time, then even if I managed to get his attention and get me involved in this naval battle, the result would probably be just on the aircraft carrier, and then watching those planes take off and land, and feeling how the aircraft carrier was protected by other warships, would be gone.

But it's a different story in the sub-fleet of Clapp...... Warships, too, must protect aircraft carriers and even cooperate with aircraft carriers in combat. Then it will have to cooperate with the landing of the army and the operation of submarines. In order to protect merchant ships and supply lines, it can be said that there are warships in every aspect.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but nod my head secretly, this is not in vain I took all the trouble to capture an Argentine submarine.

The helicopter flew in the air for more than half an hour before catching up with the task force...... The last time I was on the helicopter, I couldn't see anything clearly at night, but this time I looked down from the helicopter, and the dense hundreds of ships were really shocking.

"Look!" Major Will pointed to one of the warships and said, "That's our destination, the Sheffield, one of our most advanced warships!" ”

Following Major Will's gaze, a behemoth appeared in front of us, and the helicopter quickly slowed down, and then slowly stopped towards the helipad behind it.

It wasn't until I stepped out of the helicopter and walked into the cabin under the guidance of the British guards that I wondered why the name "Sheffield" was so familiar when I heard it just now.

Then it suddenly came to mind...... Isn't this the warship that was sunk by the Argentine Exocet missile?

I can't help but be surprised when I think of this: drop! Such a large warship, it seems that the displacement is more than 3,000 tons, just let a Exocet missile sink, and it is no wonder that from now on, missiles will be more and more valued by various countries.

Turning left and right in the narrow aisle, he finally climbed a few stairs to a cabin on the upper level guarded by two guards.

The two guards just looked at Major Will's papers, as for me, Chinese...... I think that at this time, my different skin color can be regarded as a document, and at this time, because of the capture of a warship, I am afraid that this fleet does not know that there are really not many British troops in our country.

So the guards quickly pushed open the door and motioned for us to enter.

It's a neat office, and like all military offices, it's full of all kinds of documents and maps, but the difference is that there is a side room in this office, and there is a beautiful female secretary in front of the typewriter crackling something.

I have to admit that this blonde female secretary is more attractive to me than this Brigadier Clapp, but I still don't want to give up this only opportunity so lightly, so I don't dare to look in and follow Major Will to the front of the office and salute with a snap.

"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" At this time, Brigadier General Clapp, who was busy writing something at his desk, raised his head: "Please forgive me for having to choose to meet you in the office, as you can see, this damn war is coming, and I have to prepare for it!" ”

"Yes General!" I say.

Even if I didn't turn my head, I could clearly feel the disappointment of Major Will standing next to me, because I knew from Brigadier General Clapp's words that the protagonist of this meeting would undoubtedly be me, and Major Will was just calling in passing.

Sure enough, after a while, Major Clapp stood up, he first walked up to Major Will and shook his hand, and said, "Major, thank you for your bravery in this war, for which I specially asked the orderlies to prepare some snacks for you, I hope you will be satisfied!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Major Will saluted and quickly withdrew from his office.

Brigadier General Clapp politely beckoned him to sit down on a chair on the side of the office and said, "First of all, I want to ...... I don't mind if I call you a colonel! ”

"Of course!" To be honest, this kind of meeting made me a little restrained, because I felt that the etiquette was too heavy, and it was not at all as natural and relaxed as when discussing with Commander Zhang.

"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the Colonel!" Brigadier General Clapp continued: "This submarine you have captured will be of great help to our fleet, and this is the time when we need intelligence. In other words, you have not only eliminated a huge underwater threat to our fleet, but also provided us with valuable information! ”

"I think this information may be able to determine whether the fleet can launch an attack on the Falklands!" I say.

I didn't want to waste my time in Clapp's thanks and kind words to me, so I deliberately brought the conversation to this war.

"Of course!" Clapp nodded: "We quickly learned the number, type and current situation of the Argentine submarines, and even we sent people to observe the captured submarine, and the conclusion was that the Argentine submarine force could not stop our attack on the Falklands!" ”

"Of course!" I say.

This is indeed the case, either because the British fleet has many anti-submarine helicopters and advanced anti-submarine equipment, or because the Argentine submarine equipment is too backward, and the Argentine submarines did not play a role in the entire Falklands War.

"But I don't think that's the only reason for the fleet to delay the attack!" I say.

"Oh!" Hearing this, Clapp couldn't help but be surprised: "Then the colonel thinks the other reasons are ......"

"French Super Flag fighters and Exocet missiles!" I didn't think about it, so I replied.

I had been prepared for this for a long time, and I knew that meeting Clapp at this time would probably be short, so I could only make a long story short and throw the bombshell at every opportunity.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard what I said, Clapp was stunned.

I can understand his appearance, but in his head he may think that China is still relatively backward and relatively closed, and in addition, I am just a battalion commander from the army who came here to guide guerrilla warfare, so it is impossible for him to know any inside information.

But this is clearly not the case.

In fact, Clapp is actually right, our country can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles at this time, internally there are various social problems caused by the collision of the market economy and the planned economy, the return of educated youth, and the large number of unemployed vagrants caused by the layoffs of the army, and the external war with the Vietnamese devils is also openly and secretly fighting with the Soviet Union, where will there be the heart to care what fighters or missiles Argentina is equipped with.

And the reason why I know this qiē is entirely because these things have been written badly on the Internet in modern times.

"Well, the colonel also knows a little about the situation in Argentina!" Clapp said.

"Indeed!" I replied, "I don't know much, though!" ”

I want to indulge in it, and I don't know much about it, but my face pretends to be unfathomable.

Brigadier General Clapp would soon think that perhaps the Chinese knew something, but were not very willing to sue the British. (To be continued......)
