The incident soon alarmed Brigadier General Clapp.

Originally, at this time, the gendarmes should not have reported Clapp to this trivial matter, but because it was related to me and the gendarmes did not know what to do, they could only report it to the brigadier general.

A few minutes later, the brigadier general walked into the bar with a few guards, and of course Lin Xia came when he heard the noise.

This made me a little embarrassed, because I didn't expect that it would alarm so many people just for a small fight, and Lin Xia looked at me and Ida with strange eyes.

"Mr. Colonel!" Clapp walked up to me and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

"It's fine!" I said, "I beg your pardon, I shot a little harder!" ”

"No, no, no!" Clapp glanced at the soldiers on the ground who were still screaming, and said, "I'm sure you've shown mercy!" ”

"Lieutenant Colonel!" With that, Clapp walked up to the stunned Baker and asked, "I heard that you are very unfriendly to my advisor, not only did you speak disrespectfully, but also did you do it?" Need an introduction? The Chinese in front of you is a colonel and my personal adviser, do you have any questions about this? ”

"General!" Baker replied with a pale face: "I didn't know he was your advisor, his military uniform ......"

"He's a captain, isn't he?" Clapp interrupted him: "You mean, a lower rank than you can be insulted at will, or even do it?" I wonder if that's how you treat your subordinates? ”

"No, General!"

"I don't think you know yet!" Clapp continued: "Standing in front of you is the Chinese who captured the Argentine submarine, and also provided many valuable builders for our fleet. I want to ask you. Lieutenant Colonel. What did you do for our fleet? Is it just drinking and insulting subordinates? ”

"Nope. Checkmate! At this time, Baker dared to say anything, and could only answer mechanically again and again.

"You should taste what it's like to be someone else's subordinate!" Saying that, Clapp waved his hand at the gendarme: "Take this corporal down and confinement for three days!" ”

"General......" Baker quickly realized that he had become a corporal, and wanted to say something, but the gendarmes didn't give him time at all, and put him out one by one.

"I'm sorry, Colonel!" Clapp shook his head and smiled bitterly at me and said, "Looks like I need to change your uniform!" But I can promise it won't happen again. ”

"It's okay!" I don't know what to say anymore.

In fact, I think it's just a small fight, so Baker can't bear to even downgrade a few levels.

"Please forgive me for having something to attend to!" Saying that, Clapp shook my hand: "See you tomorrow!" ”

"See you tomorrow!"

"Can you tell me what happened?" On the way back, Lin Xia asked with an unhappy face: "I always thought you were still in the cabin!" ”

"Nothing!" I said, "Just wanted to come out and have a drink, and then got into a fight!" ”

"That's it?"

"That's all!"

I knew in my heart that Lin Xia actually wanted to know how I could be with Ada. But I didn't feel the need to confess to her.

However, Lin Xia obviously doesn't think so.

"Battalion commander!" After thinking about it, Lin Xia said: "Before, you taught me not to be tempted by capitalism, but now I have to remind you that you should also pay attention to this!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly when I heard this, what is this, this can also be related to capitalism!

The turmoil passed quickly, and I was able to survive what should have been a boring night.

Of course, I won't let Lin Xia find out that Ada sneaked into my room in the middle of the night, otherwise she would have to go online.

But even so, when I came to the headquarters the next day, I still felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and Ida and Lin Xia seemed to be full of gunpowder, and they were a little competitive with each other or looked at each other unpleasantly.

Of course I didn't take it seriously. In fact, the situation did not allow me to pay attention to these trifles, because as soon as I walked into the command headquarters, I heard Clapp say to me sternly: "Last night one of our submarines spotted an Argentine warship!" ”

"Oh!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

"Last night" that Clapp is referring to here. That means that it has been a long time since the warship was discovered, that is, it has been tracking for a long time but has not moved.

Sure enough, I heard Clapp continue: "Argentina's anti-submarine equipment is indeed quite weak, and we tracked it for five hours and they didn't find it!" ”

"Why don't you do it?" I only care about the question: "Is it because there is no chance of sinking it?" ”

"No!" Clapp shook his head: "This warship is outside our blockade zone!" ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "You can't fight outside the blockade zone?" ”

Clapp just smiled wryly and didn't go any further.

Looking at Clapp's helpless expression, I understood that this was again the reason why the British government was not determined to fight a big war.

"General!" Thinking of this, I said, "Do you know why I won the fight I fought last night?" ”

Clapp looked at me and didn't speak.

"It's because I got the upper hand!" I said, "We have a saying in China that 'strike first, strike later', and that's what it means. If we have the upper hand, it means that it is possible to defeat an enemy who is stronger than us, and if the enemy has the upper hand...... The same is true! ”

"You're right!" Clapp replied, "But the warship is outside the blockade zone and is leaving the Falklands......"

"You have declared war on Argentina!" I said: "At this time you are already enemies, and it doesn't matter where the warship is in a state of war, what matters is that he is the enemy's warship!" ”

Clapp sighed, "But...... The British government still wants to be able to reconcile with Argentina! ”

"I know!" I said, "So you have to leave them with no room for reconciliation, otherwise the British army is likely to miss the opportunity or even be defeated in the end!" ”

"What do you mean......"

"Now is your chance!" I said, "It's more important ...... From the very beginning, we planned to fight an asymmetric war, and this asymmetric war was based on the fact that submarines were able to blockade Argentine warships with overwhelming superiority. If Argentine warships are safe as long as they are outside the blockade zone, then you also know what this will mean! ”

Clapp nodded slowly: "You're right, the task force actually has many dangers, the strictest thing is that the supply line is too long, once the Argentine government clearly realizes this, then we will not talk about forcing Argentina to reconcile, and even this war will be lost." Another point is that as soon as the time goes on, it will be winter, and the sea will be even colder and even stormy, so it is clear that there is only one way in front of us, a quick solution, and the British government does not see this! ”

With that, Clapp no longer hesitated, stood up and said to the communicator, "Order the Conqueror ......"

Needless to say, as happened in history, the Conqueror called the submarine to sink the Argentine "General Belgrano" with only three old World War II torpedoes.

Coincidentally, one of the two hit torpedoes blew up the electrical equipment on the Argentine warship, making it impossible for the Argentine sailors on the warship to call for help from friendly forces via guò.

The casualties were huge, although the Argentine side knew that the warship was likely to have been sunk...... Because they lost contact with each other, they couldn't rescue the warship because they didn't know where it was, so many Argentine sailors had to drift at sea with lifeboats.

But it was also very dangerous on the lifeboat under the cold snap, so 323 people were killed, drowned, and frozen to death in just one battle.

However, there was no way to do it, as Brigadier General Clapp had said, if we didn't do anything and drag it on, the terrible cold snap would soon defeat the British task force on the expedition.

Therefore, there is actually no intermediate state to go in the war, either you die or I die!

And those who want to go in the middle often end up miserable, just like the Argentine government and army in this war, in fact, a large part of the reason for their defeat is because they are not firm enough. (To be continued......)
