Then I was talking to Clapp about the blockade of Port Stanley Airport.

The problem is actually not complicated, and in the case of the previous calculations, Argentina would definitely think that they had succeeded in deceiving the British army.

Of course, at this time, the British army was also very cooperative to stop bombing the Port Stanley airport, so it is not difficult to imagine what happened next...... Argentina would take advantage of the darkness to take off and land transport planes at Port Stanley Airport, so as to bring a steady stream of supplies to the Afghan garrison on the Falklands.

But the current British army obviously will not let the Afghan army succeed.

The blockade of the Afghan army is actually very simple, after all, the British army already knew that the Afghan army would be transported at night, and the destination was still Port Stanley, so they only needed to send a few Harriers to patrol near Port Stanley at night.

The only problem was to get this right, that is, the British army had to pretend that they had discovered the Argentine transport plane by chance and shot it down. Even deliberately let go of a few transport planes if necessary. Otherwise, it is very likely that the Afghan army will realize that the camouflage at Port Stanley Airport has been recognized.

"General!" While we were in the middle of a heated discussion, a British communications officer walked up to Clapp and reported: "A large number of Argentine fleets have been dispatched, including aircraft carriers!" ”

"Get ready to attack!" Clapp ordered, and before leaving his seat, he didn't forget to say to me, "A big battle is about to begin!" ”

I just smiled, in fact I knew it wasn't going to be a big fight as Clapp had imagined.

In this war in history, the Argentine navy and army basically did not play a role.

Army, the Afghan army, which was several times larger than the British army on the Falklands, surrendered to the British army in large numbers without much resistance; As for the Navy. That is, after a warship was sunk by a British submarine, he did not dare to come out until the end of the war.

It was the Argentine Air Force that deserved praise in this battle. They knew that their fighters were inferior to the British. Knowing that the time in the air is only four or five minutes, I know that it is very likely that I will never come back...... But one after another, without the cooperation of any naval warships, poured into the British fleet.

It is precisely because of this that some people say that the Falklands War was actually the Argentine Air Force against the British land, sea and air.

The command post was soon busy, Clapp was busy giving one command after another, all kinds of texts and orders flew around like snowflakes, and the fleet soon sailed in the direction of the Argentine fleet......

At this time, I am the only one who is free, I am just a consultant, or more precisely, a strategic consultant. As for tactical matters, such as commanding the fleet to cooperate with aircraft carriers and submarines in large-scale naval battles...... Then I don't know anything.

Of course, Lin Xia is also as free as me.

"Aren't you going to do something?" Lin Xia asked.

"Didn't you see me drinking coffee?!" I say.

Lin Xia couldn't help laughing: "Everyone else is busy, you are still in the mood to drink coffee!" ”

"You can have a drink too!" I say.

This is the benefit of being on a British warship, and you will never have to worry about running out of coffee.

"I can't drink it!" Lin Xia refused without thinking about it.

"Seriously!" Lin Xia looked at me with some curiosity: "I'm finding out more and more that you are not simple!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Those buildings you mentioned!" Lin Xia said: "You forgot that I am your translator, and I have to repeat every word you say!" ”

"Oh!" Only then did I realize that Lin Xia was referring to the countermeasures against Argentina that I thought.

"Actually, it's nothing!" I said: "In terms of strategy, this kind of thing does not know the type of troops, and it doesn't even distinguish between the times, for example, the method I just used has been used by the ancients a long time ago, what is it called......

At this point, I paused deliberately.

"If you call it a plan, you will plan it!" Lin Xia said excitedly.

"That's right, it's just a plan!" Actually, I didn't know, but I deliberately asked Lin Xia to answer to increase her sense of accomplishment. Sometimes women are like that. These things are needed to stimulate them and make them feel that the conversation is pleasant.

"Our China has dominated the world for thousands of years!" As I said this, I sighed a little: "China's backwardness is actually only a matter of the last few hundred years. It is true that we need to step up our efforts to catch up with other countries, but on the other hand, we must not lose confidence in our own countries. Because from the perspective of the whole history, ups and downs are very normal, and occasionally a few hundred years behind is just a small wave. ”

Lin Xia pondered for a while, and then nodded with shame on her face and said: "I have never looked at the problem from this point of view, and when the battalion commander said this, I felt that it was true, and now we are just in this backward hundreds of years, but it is these hundreds of years that people will have the psychology of denying China, feeling that all the things in China are inferior to others, and thinking that the things of other countries are good!" ”

"It's called being in the middle of the mountains......"

"I don't know where to go!" Lin Xia continued.

I nodded appreciatively at Lin Xia, but I accidentally found that there was something strange in Lin Xia's eyes when she looked at me, and I couldn't tell what kind of abnormality this was.

"Target found!" At this time, one of the British soldiers in the command post shouted.

This cry could not help but surprise me, as far as I know, the Argentine fleet did not have a large-scale warship battle with the British fleet, so what is the current "discovery target" about?

"They found Argentine fighters!" Lin Xia listened for a while and explained.

"Oh!" I quickly understood.

It was not the Argentine warship that was discovered, but the carrier-based aircraft that took off from the Argentine "May 25".

"It seems like there are only two!" Lin Xia said.

"Only two?" I couldn't help but feel a little funny when I heard this, isn't this looking for death?!

But then it became clear that this was actually because the Argentine side had hopes for a peaceful solution.

It should be said that the Argentine regime has not yet fully realized that they have no choice but to fight, or that they are subconsciously afraid of the British task force, so they actually hope that the Falklands issue can be resolved peacefully.

They didn't want to expand the war to the point of no return, and on the other hand, they had to respond because the British had just bombed the Falklands Port Stanley airport...... So the whole fleet was dispatched but only two fighters were sent, which was only a means to calm the people in the country and maintain the morale of the army.

One can imagine what the result will be...... The British aircraft carrier soon dispatched four Harriers to intercept it, and we in the warship did not even see the Argentine fighter before we were told that the Argentine fighter plane was shot down and the other escaped.

Of course, the British troops in the command ceremony let out a burst of cheers again, and I could only smile bitterly.

"Colonel, you don't seem to care about that!" Clapp was puzzled when he saw my expression.

"General!" I replied: "You should know that I fought in the war in Afghanistan!" ”

"Of course!" Clapp replied, "That's why Colonel Smith highly recommends you!" ”

"Then you'll know why!" I said, "If you know what I was through on the battlefield in Afghanistan!" ”

Clapp couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "These may already be pediatric for you!" ”

"Not exactly!" I said, "There are reasons why I don't feel danger, you know, on the battlefield we are always in the middle of bullets, shells, blood, corpses, all kinds of dangers, and that's what makes me nervous, excited, and ...... like this."

"I understand!" Clapp smiled, turned to look at the British soldiers who were still cheering around him, and said, "Veterans like you are exactly what we need." They will need more training and battlefield experience, maybe a little more, and they will be as calm as you! ”

The Argentine attack on the British did not end there, and a few hours later, at dark, the Argentines attacked the task force again.

This attack was still two planes, but unlike the last one, these two planes were bombers, and they were low-flying bombers.

It is clear that Argentina needs a victory to boost the morale of its people and troops, or it can also be said that the Argentine army also needs to give an account to the people.

On the surface, this attack looks no different from the last time, but in my eyes it means something completely different.

As I said before, the first time was just a symbolic dispatch of two fighters, and everyone knows that using two fighters to face the British task force with two aircraft carriers is tantamount to looking for death, and it is good luck to be able to escape back with one.

But this time...... It was clear that the Argentine Air Force was testing and wanted to know the night combat capabilities of the British Harriers.

So the bombers will be sent, low-flying bombers...... That is, this time it was actually a sneak attack, a sneak attack on British warships.

I think this exposed at least two weaknesses of Argentina: First, the lack of intelligence information, at this time, they did not even know the night combat ability of the British Harrier fighters, and had to test the lives of bombers and pilots.

Second, the Argentine fighters lacked the ability to fight at night, otherwise, it would be impossible for the two bombers to not even have a single escort fighter.

Or it can also be said that the battle during the day made the Afghan army lose confidence in its fighters, making them think that having fighter escorts is almost the same as not having them, so they only sent two bombers.

The result, of course, was another tragedy, and worse than the battle of the day: the British Harrier took off in an emergency to intercept it, and the result was to shoot down one plane and damage another. The British suffered only minor damage to one frigate. (To be continued......)
