Chapter 532: Sinking the opponent's large warship

"Even with the participation of the Soviets, we are confident that we will win." Just then, a voice came from beside me.

Woodward is coming.

Woodward saw that Nathan was stunned here, and knew that he was thinking about things, maybe this attack made Nathan a little discouraged, right?

Nathan glanced at Woodward, didn't speak, just turned his head, and continued to look at the water around him, watching the penguins frolicking on the island, perhaps, they are the real owners here, right?

"Nathan, we can't wait for this aircraft carrier to be repaired, we must land in the Falkland Islands as soon as possible." Woodward continued to Nathan.

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Nathan's face.

This is also forced by the Soviets, this time the Soviets used Tu-22M bombers and flew halfway around the world to bomb, what about next time? And what tricks will the Soviets play?

Therefore, the side cannot wait any longer, and must take advantage of the victory to pursue and land on the Falkland Islands as soon as possible to complete the task of recovering the territory.

However, the situation is very different from history, with the help of the Soviets, the Argentines built an air base on the Falkland Islands, and their attack aircraft could take off directly from the islands.

Although there is no combination of Super Flag and Exocet, it is just an ordinary A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft and other aircraft groups, but the number is also huge, just relying on the main force of the formation composed of two aircraft carriers, Ark Royal and Invincible, carrying dozens of Tomcat fighters, can it complete the task?

If your own aircraft carrier is repaired and joins the formation, it will be unbreakable.

However, Nathan did not speak, this was originally a difficult problem, this difficult problem, he could not find the answer, Woodward was the commander-in-chief of this formation, it was up to him to choose.

"It's going to take about a week for us to fix it." "During this week, you have to be mindful," Nathan said. ”

Woodward nodded: "We have captured South Georgia here, our victory bombers can take off from here, as long as we have a refueling in the air, we can fly to the Falkland Islands to bomb, we plan to carry out a sneak attack and blow up all the air bases on the island." ”

Preemptively, the planes in their base pose a great threat to their own side, so they should blow them up first.

"They still have a navy, and they will also pose a threat to us, so we have asked London to sink the largest cruiser of the Argentine Navy first, so that the Argentine Navy will be a rat trap and stay in the port and dare not come out! At the same time, it is also a revenge for Argentina, who dared to collude with the Soviets to attack our aircraft carriers, and also made them pay! ”

Consider that in later generations, Argentina was reduced to the miserable situation of having only propeller fighters, and in the eighties, the Argentine Navy was incomparably powerful.

In addition to the aircraft carrier May 25, the Argentine Navy also has a 10,000-ton cruiser.

The Belgrano, formerly known as the "Phoenix", is a Brooklyn-class cruiser, launched in 1938, with a standard displacement of 10,000 tons, a full load displacement of 12,403 tons, equipped with 5 triple 152 mm guns, 3 seaplanes, and a speed of 30 knots.

This cruiser is famous, played a major role in the terrible World War II, was General MacArthur's ship, and was unscathed in the Pearl Harbor attack.

It was born and died, experienced many risks, was torpedoed, eaten cannonballs, and was even patronized by the kamikaze of the island nation, but like the "phoenix" in its name, it survived like an immortal bird.

After the end of World War II, the warship was decommissioned in 1950 and then sold by the United States to Argentina for one million dollars, a total of only $5 million including the cost of refitting.

When the ship joined the Argentine Navy, it immediately gave them a 10,000-ton supership, which Argentina initially named the October Victory and soon changed its name to the General Belgrano.

Since then, the Argentine Navy has modernized the General Belgrano twice, adding "Sea Cat" anti-aircraft missiles, etc., after all, many of the equipment of the old ships during World War II are no longer useful.

After all, this is the pride of the Argentine Navy, and as long as this warship is sunk, it can greatly damage Argentina's self-confidence, and at the same time, it can also strengthen its own confidence.

The UK has a lot of experience.

In World War II, the sinking of the Hood greatly damaged Britain's confidence, so no matter how much the British Navy paid, it had to sink the Bismarck to save confidence.

As soon as the Yamato of the island country came out, it was sunk, which was to seriously damage their confidence.

Only if the Argentine navy and air force are paralyzed can a military operation to land in the Falkland Islands be carried out, this is a premise, so it is necessary to sink the main warship of the Argentine Navy, either this cruiser or that aircraft carrier!

"Soviets, there will definitely be a new conspiracy, general, you must be more careful." Facing the confident Major General Woodward, Nathan couldn't say much, and could only remind the other party to be careful again.

Last time, I was careless, and I ended up with a big loss, and if I hadn't slipped and fell, I would have been killed along with everyone else. Especially, when Nathan knew about the relationship between himself and Andre, Nathan always had an ominous premonition that the war in this time and space would definitely not be played according to any of the scripts he knew!

The sinking of the cruiser General Belgrano was the historical Falklands War, so could there be other accidents? Because of the intervention of the Soviets, everything became confusing.

Even Nathan, who has always been full of confidence, has little confidence now.

"Okay, got it, Nathan, don't have too many shadows, in war, it's normal to lose once, as long as we get up and keep fighting, victory will definitely be ours."

Woodward left Nathan's side and returned to his flagship, and soon one by one, the warships of the British Navy, after a brief repair, began to set sail again.

"Nathan, you've been on your minds lately." There was another voice in my ears.

Nathan knew that it was Emily who came, and that he had been with Emily every day for all this time, and Nathan had become accustomed to it.

Emily knows a lot about Nathan.

"Is there anything new on the Soviets' side?" Nathan asked.

Emily shook her head: "Didn't see their bombers continue to sortie, as for the rest, you know, our intelligence system, it is difficult to penetrate the upper echelons of the Soviet Union." ”

The KGB is the most powerful intelligence agency, and with Andropov, the intelligence chief, it is very difficult for the other side to obtain information.

Soviets, will they give up?
