Section 1351 Second Falklands War
On June 1, Egypt, Syria, and Israel, the three countries directly participating in the war, signed the "Middle East Peace Treaty" in Shanghai, announcing the official end of the Fifth Middle East War. The Palestinian Interim Government and Israel signed the "Palestinian-Israeli Agreement on Peace and Territorial Partition," and the two sides began to formally carry out the work of establishing relations between the two sides in the Palestinian areas. The Energy Group signed the China-Israel Security Assurance Treaty with Israel, and the Energy Group began to formally assume Israel's nuclear security responsibilities, and Israel began to destroy nuclear weapons under the supervision of China, the United States, Russia, and Europe. Israel has signed the "Middle East Non-Nuclear Treaty" with all Arab countries, and the nuclear monitoring team composed of China, the United States, Russia, and Europe has officially begun to carry out nuclear monitoring tasks in Middle East countries.
On June 2, the Middle East Peace Treaty officially entered into force, and the war in the Middle East finally ended, ushering in more than 10 years of peace, and the world was freed from the nuclear crisis. In fact, it is China that has the biggest profits, just sending a negotiation team to obtain the biggest rights in the region, although it is only for the name of the energy group, but Li Cong must have given them a lot of benefits.
The impact of the Fifth Middle East War on the world pattern is far-reaching, first of all, the United States has lost its dominant position in the Middle East, the United States no longer has a military base in the Middle East, and the United States' erroneous policy in the Middle East has led to the fact that no Middle Eastern country regards the United States as a friend. The biggest impact is that the energy group officially entered the Middle East, becoming the country with the largest influence in the Middle East, the energy group's neutral peace policy in the Middle East has been unanimously praised, and the military power of the energy group has also taken this opportunity to officially have its own position in the Middle East. Moreover, the energy group's method of resolving national conflicts has also been well received, laying the foundation for the energy group to achieve more support and diplomatic results in the country in the future, and any regional conflict in the future, if you want to find a mediator, the first consideration is already the energy group, not the United States, and the energy group has slowly begun to replace the United States in the world.
On May 25, before the ceasefire negotiations in the Middle East were over, the war in the South Atlantic added another spark to this unquiet world. As they had done 23 years earlier, the Argentine clandestine forces captured the British-occupied Malvinas (Fuklands) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands with the fastest possible speed.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, four hours after Argentina seized the Malvinas Islands, Britain announced that it would not sit idly by and watch its overseas territory being invaded, and on the same day, the new British Prime Minister Sampson announced that Britain would organize a task force to go to the South Atlantic to recapture the occupied Fukland Islands and its affiliated islands. The Second Falklands War officially broke out.
Anglo-Afghan disputed territory. Abbreviated as Falklands. It is located at 51°4o'-53°oo' south latitude and 57°4o'-62°oo' west longitude, in the South Atlantic waters east of the southern tip of Argentina, and more than 5oo kilometers away from Argentina in the west. It is about 48o km northeast of the southern tip of South America, and about the same distance from the Strait of Magellan (Straitofmage11an east). The whole territory is composed of two main islands, Soledad (East Falkland) and Great Malvina (West Falkland), and more than 2oo small islands. The coast is tortuous and the terrain is complex, and the archipelago is dominated by two east-west mountain ranges in the north, with the highest peak reaching 7o5 meters. The island is hilly, with short, gentle rivers. The climate is cold and humid, with an average annual temperature of 5.6C. The average annual precipitation is 625 mm, and the rain and snow weather is as high as about 25o days a year.
In 1592, the English navigator John Davis aboard the Aspiration was probably the first to see the Falkland Islands. But the Dutchman Wilde (Seba1dde) first established a settlement on East Falkland in 1764. The British were the first to settle in West Falkland in 1765, but were expelled by the Spaniards in 177o, who bought all the property rights of the French settlement around 1767. After threatening war, the British restored their outpost on West Falkland Island in 1771 and withdrew from the island in 1774 for economic reasons, but did not abandon their claim to sovereignty. The Spanish settlement in East Falkland (which it called Soledad [So1edadis1and] remained until 11 years.
Argentina, which declared its secession from Spain in 16, claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands in 182o. In 1831, the USS Lexington destroyed the Argentine settlement on East Falkland Island in retaliation for illegally detaining three American vessels hunting seals in the area. In early 1833, the British expelled the remaining Argentine officials from the island without firing a single shot. In 1841 the British appointed a civilian lieutenant governor to the island, and by 1885 a British community of about 1,8oo people was self-sufficient. Falkland became a British colony in 1892. Argentina has consistently opposed the British occupation of the islands.
After the Second World War, the question of Falkland's sovereignty was transferred to the United Nations. In 1964, the United Nations Committee on Decolonization debated the question of the ownership of the archipelago. Argentina claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands on the basis of the papal royal decree of 1493 (as amended by the Treaty of Tordesi11as of 1494) (on the basis of which Spain and Portugal had divided the New University of Singapore.6 and on the grounds of succession to Spain, the islands' proximity to South America, and the need to end their colonial status, etc.). Britain claimed sovereignty over the islands on the basis of its "open, continuous, de facto possession, occupation and administration" of the islands since 1833 and its determination to apply the principle of self-determination recognized by the Charter of the United Nations to the Falkland Islanders. Britain claimed that leaving the lives of the Falkland Islanders against their will to Argentine rule was by no means an end to the colonial position, but the creation of a new colony.
In 1965, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution inviting Britain and Afghanistan to hold talks to find a peaceful solution to the dispute. This protracted discussion continued into February 1982, shortly thereafter when the Argentine military junta invaded the Falkland Islands on 2 April 1982, which led to the Falkland Islands War (fa1k1andis1anar. 1o weeks later, the war ended, and Argentine troops surrendered to the British at Stanley, who forcibly reoccupied the islands. The British continued to have troops on the islands and imposed military zones and fishing reserves, the latter extending a considerable distance from the shore. It has a population of about 2,379.
In 1982, a war broke out between Britain and Argentina over the ownership of the Malvinas (Fukland) Islands. At that time, Britain was supported by American intelligence, while Argentina was blockaded by Western countries, and although the Argentines fought valiantly and severely damaged the British task force from afar, the overall strength gap finally lost the war, which led to domestic turmoil. Now that the Argentines have been lying on their backs for more than 2o years, and have been preparing for more than 2o years, can the Argentines win the Second Falklands War?
On May 3o, the British task force was formed, the main force was the two British aircraft carriers "Children of the Sea" and "Blue Ocean", and the escort missions were four 45-class air defense destroyers, four 24-class anti-submarine frigates, and three latest attack nuclear submarines. The forces responsible for the recapture of the Falklands were two brigades of the 6th Combat Squadron of the British Navy, which were carried by two large amphibious assault ships and three transport ships. The formation also has 2 large integrated supply ships responsible for the fleet's ocean-going supply tasks. King Charles of England personally went to Pontsymouth Harbour to see off the task force. After leaving Pontesmouth, the British task force rushed to the South Atlantic in a murderous manner, bearing the honor of Britain's naval power for hundreds of years.
On May 31, the President of the United States announced that the United States would not intervene in the Anglo-Afghan war and would remain neutral. On the same day, the new European Union, Great Russia, and China all announced that they would remain neutral. The energy group is not the same as them, because Li Cong knows that the relationship between the group and Argentina can be said to be very good, and he used to plan to go under the Skull and Bones Society, but now he has the opportunity to let it go, and he also knows that even if he declares neutrality, the Americans will not believe it, and they are as hypocritical as you?
This is the same as 23 years ago, although the United States has maintained its neutrality on the surface, but the relationship between the United States and Britain is now extraordinary, and the United States can only be regarded as an ally in Europe. The United States, which is an Anglo-Saxon country with Britain, will not fail to help Britain. However, South America has always been the backyard of the United States, and Argentina's important position in South America is obvious, so it is impossible for the United States to risk offending all South American countries to openly support Britain.
The United States wants to use the trick 23 years ago to help Britain secretly, so that Britain can win this war, and by the way, strike at South America and gradually become the leading power. The United States cannot but be ruthless in this move, but will the current shape of the world allow the United States to succeed in its scheme? In the past 23 years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the world, and the United States is no longer the dominant power in the world, and now there are many countries that can contain every move of the United States. Therefore, the new European Union, Great Russia and China will not let go of this opportunity to strike a hard blow to the dominance of the United States in South America, and there is one of the biggest differences is that the energy group announced that it would support Argentina, although the Lechel family on the British side discussed with Li Cong for a long time, but Li Cong finally decided to support Argentina, because he saw that no matter how he helped Britain, Britain would follow the Americans.
During the First Falklands War 23 years ago, Europe was still under the control of the United States, so it followed in the footsteps of the United States and imposed a military embargo on Argentina. At that time, France originally sold Exocet missiles to Argentina, but in the end they were detained in France and not delivered to Argentina, and Argentina only used 5 Exocet missiles in its hands to sink a large destroyer and a large troop carrier in the British fleet. Now Europe is no longer under the control of the United States and has become the world's leading pole, and the Europeans are also full of anger, and they will never let go of this opportunity for the United States to continue to be weakened. Although the new European Union has ostensibly expressed neutrality, both Germany and France have said that they will continue to cooperate militarily with Argentina and have sold Argentina the latest anti-ship weapons.
Twenty-three years ago, the Soviet Union was already on the side of Argentina. Of course, there is no white pie in the sky, and the Soviet Union helped Argentina at that time to fight the United States, but it backfired, and in the end, the help of the Soviets did not allow Argentina to win. But now that Great Russia has basically recovered to the level of the former Soviet Union, Great Russia will not miss this opportunity, and Russia has been fed up with the bullying of the United States in terms of nuclear arms reduction, anti-ballistic missile treaty, economic aid, and competition for spheres of influence. On May 26, Great Russia said that it could sell the most advanced fighter planes to Argentina and that it could train pilots for Argentina.
In 1982, when China had only entered the reform and opening up, and it was inseparably fighting with Vietnam, China was not in the mood or ability to intervene in the distant South Atlantic, but the courageous actions of the Argentines created good conditions for China to successfully recover Hong Kong. Margaret Thatcher, the British minister at that time, took advantage of the fact that she had won the Falklands War, and when she visited China, she explicitly said that she was discussing the issue of Hong Kong with China, but in fact she did not want to return Hong Kong. But the great leader made Thatcher understand that China is not Argentina, Hong Kong is not the Falklands, and a country as small as Argentina can cause great damage to the British expeditionary fleet, and Hong Kong, which is close at hand, China is absolutely capable of taking it back, whether by force or negotiation.
And now China, on the surface, is not as good as the United States and the new European Union in terms of economy, not as good as the United States and Great Russia in terms of the number of nuclear weapons, and not as good as India in terms of population (in 2o13, India's population surpassed China), but China's comprehensive national strength cannot be underestimated, although the economic scale is only 6o% of the United States China's comprehensive national strength is already the third in the world, ranking behind the United States and the new European Union, and the gap is very slight. China has always supported regional ethnic movements, so in the Second Falklands War, although China clearly said that it remained neutral, no one would doubt that China would use its greatest strength to support Argentina. In the Taiwan War, the Second Korean War, the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, and the Fifth Middle East War, the relationship between China and the United States can be said to have reached the point where it will do everything except go to war.
On May 24, Argentina reached a secret agreement with China (this was declassified two years later, after the world situation had already been decided), China will send submarine forces to escort Argentina's transport fleet to China, and China will provide Argentina with fighter planes and ammunition, and as early as a year ago, two groups of more than 5oo Argentine pilots have gone to China to begin training to adapt to China's weapons system. And China does not sell weapons to Argentina in the form of cash during the war, Argentina can buy them in the form of loans, and China can choose to use this part of the funds to buy Argentine iron ore, rubber, crops, etc. In order to facilitate the movement of Chinese naval submarines, Argentina has secretly opened two underground submarine caves for Chinese nuclear submarines to be stationed. Of course, at the most important time, China will send fighters to Argentina in the form of volunteers, including pilots, submarine officers and soldiers, special forces, etc., China has become the most important force to support Argentina, and has become a force to compete with the United States and support Britain!
The energy group also turned a blind eye to China's bypassing of its own agreement with Argentina, sweet cooperation can never always exist, the last Middle East war when China was unable to pull away, so everything is its own, this time you have to take what you want, but the energy group has used 30 billion US dollars in arms in exchange for the right to station troops in Argentina, no matter what the war goes, the energy group's military headquarters extends to South America is a fact.
On June 1, the British expeditionary fleet had arrived in British Gibraltar, where after a day's rest, would set off for Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic, Ascension Island has always been the British advance base in the Atlantic, 23 years ago in the Falklands War, the British task force began the war journey after the last replenishment, and then, British long-range bombers also took off directly from here to bomb Argentine Harbor on the Argentine-occupied island of Malvinas.
On the same day, the US Government announced that the United States would send a task force with two aircraft carriers as the core to pay goodwill visits to four South American countries, including Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Peru. Now everyone knows that the visit of the US fleet is obviously to cheer up the British, and it is also to make other South American countries be honest and not to try to help Argentina in this war, and at the same time to show that they are still dominant in South America. The focus of world public opinion is on this imminent war in the South Atlantic, and everyone knows that this is a proxy war between the United States and China, the new European Union, and Great Russia.
On 2 June, China announced that, at the invitation of the Argentine military, China would send a task force with two aircraft carriers Yue Fei and Han Signal as the core to pay a goodwill visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, China will not terminate its cooperation with Argentina, the signed contracts will continue to be implemented, and it intends to expand bilateral trade with Argentina. The most concerned thing is that along with the Chinese fleet, there are also 4 "New Song" class AIP conventional submarines ready to be delivered to Argentina, which is the latest conventional submarine developed by China on the German 214 and the French Squid class, and its performance is among the best in the world, but the Chinese Navy is mainly equipped with nuclear submarines in order to adapt to the new strategic exhibition, so it is not equipped with this kind of submarine, and the purpose of production is to export. The first to order is Argentina, Argentina spent 2.4o billion to buy 12 ships in one breath, and the unit price of 2o yuan is quite cheap (from the world economic crisis, China's foreign trade will be settled in RMB, breaking the era of the US dollar, and now the world's main currencies are the US dollar, the new euro, the new ruble, and the four yuan), and this time it will be delivered is the second batch of four, the first batch of four ships have been delivered 1 year ago, and the formation of combat effectiveness, the second batch of four ships of the plan was delivered 1 year later, but the advent of the war, the delivery degree was advanced, of course, the price is correspondingly more。 The third batch of four ships was originally planned to be built in Argentina with technology provided by China, but now the outbreak of the Second Falklands War finally changed to be built in China. The pilots of these four submarines are all Argentine crews who have completed training in China and are ready to go into battle, but what everyone does not know is that the captains of these four submarines are all Chinese, because the Argentine Navy cannot train so many qualified captains to command these weapons of naval warfare.
China's blatant dispatch of a task force to the South Atlantic at this time immediately caused a small storm in the world. Since the Taiwan War and the Second Korean War, the United States has repeatedly opposed China in international affairs, and China has never found a chance to fight back. However, senior analysts believe that the possibility of a direct confrontation between China and the United States in the South Atlantic is quite small, because the United States' influence in South America is deep-rooted, and if China dares to challenge the United States here, just as the United States challenges China in Southeast Asia and the Korean Peninsula, the Chinese will not be stupid enough to go to a war in the hands of the other side. However, the fact that the Chinese and American fleets are coming to catch up with this excitement at this time is still attracting the attention of the world, and everyone wants to see what role China and the United States play in this Anglo-Afghan conflict. And several major world casinos have won or lost the Anglo-Afghan war, the previous wars, it can be said that there is nothing to bet on, either the disparity in power, or the situation is too unclear, or the sudden change in the situation, are not easy to predict, and this Anglo-Afghan war, both sides have several of the world's most powerful countries or groups of countries behind the support, and basically a naval war, so it is easy to bet.
The South American branch of the military department of the energy group directly announced that more than 200 aircraft would be deployed in Argentina, and the navy, four newly developed arsenal ships also arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a visit.
The arsenal ship, also known as the powerful ship, is a large surface ship program proposed by the energy group in the formulation of the 21st century warship (SC-21) plan, the future arsenal ship can implement fire support for ground operations with powerful firepower, air defense and as an anti-missile weapon launch platform, carry a large number of missile weapons, and have extremely strong strike capabilities against 6, sea and air, and is a "missile arsenal" floating on the sea surface, known as "the first ship in the 21st century".
The arsenal is 244 meters long, with a displacement of 119oo tons, 5oo missiles for vertical launch, can be equipped with a variety of missiles, can be air-to-sea and ground-to-ground, and other weapons and equipment on the ship include: two 155-millimeter naval guns and 24oo advanced guided artillery shells, anti-missile systems, two carrier-based helicopters, a UAV, two remote-controlled mine killers, two unmanned submarines, a certain number of torpedoes, communication sonar, communication systems and combat command systems. The hull is a double-hull structure with a small superstructure. During the operation, the hull is only 1.5 meters above the water to minimize the reflection of radar waves. The arsenal ship only needs 2o crews, but it needs to be accompanied by a supply ship in order to reload the vertical launch system in time, the arsenal ship of the energy group can shoot a hundred missiles of various kinds in one minute, it can be said that it is definitely a floating powder keg at sea, the combat effectiveness of four arsenal ships is definitely better than that of two aircraft carrier groups, and thousands of missiles can be released in five minutes, can the aircraft carrier group resist it?
On 6 June, the British expeditionary fleet arrived at Ascension Island at a voyage of up to 22 knots, which was the maximum the fleet could achieve because of the slow transports. The British task force will have a day's rest here before embarking on its final journey.
The U.S. task force has also arrived in the Mid-Atlantic Ocean north of Brazil and is heading towards Rio de Janeiro, where the fleet has conducted numerous anti-submarine and anti-aircraft exercises along the way. Analysts believe that this is a demonstration of the United States' powerful naval and air supremacy to indicate that if necessary, the United States will directly intervene to add to the end of the war.
The Chinese task force also left the Ryukyu Naval Base in Ryukyu Province (formerly Okinawa, now all changed to the former name of the Ryukyus), and more than 2o ships galloped in the Pacific Ocean. But due to distance, the Chinese fleet will arrive in the South Atlantic at least 1o days later than the American fleet.
On June 7, the British expeditionary fleet left Ascension Island and headed south with anti-submarine teams.
The British expeditionary fleet had barely left Ascension Island for less than 2oo nautical miles, and was now under surveillance by submarines of unknown nationality, and the frigate on anti-submarine duty immediately pounced in the direction of the current submarine, but did not achieve any results. Britain has not announced what kind of submarine it is. But analysts came to the conclusion that it was definitely not a conventional submarine, because when the British anti-submarine frigate arrived, the submarine had already fled, and if it was a conventional submarine, it would never outrun the frigate, so it could only be a nuclear submarine. But Argentina does not have nuclear submarines! The identity of the nuclear submarine that first threatened the British expeditionary fleet has become a suspense. It was only learned from the later declassified text that this was a French Barracuda-class nuclear submarine, which was carrying out a conventional cruise mission in the Atlantic Ocean at that time, and when he was now in the British expeditionary fleet, he did a tentative attack exercise, and left the position himself after obtaining the number of the British expeditionary fleet, so the British did not claw it, but the British also knew from the analysis of sonar that this was a French submarine, so they did not pursue it further, but secretly protested to the French government, Britain did not want to offend the new European Union at this time!
On 1o June, the British expeditionary fleet arrived in the sea 8oo km east of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands and 12oo km from the Argentine mainland. At 4 p.m., British carrier-based aircraft carried out an airstrike on the port of Argentina (Stanley) on the island of Soledar (East Falkland). At the same time, the British government declared that 2oo kilometers around the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) were an area of engagement, and asked ships of various countries to make a detour, and that the British government would not be held responsible for any accidental injury or misfire in this area. The Second Anglo-Argentine Falklands War officially began. However, Li Cong then announced that he would not recognize the area of engagement, and that if his transport ships were attacked, the arsenal ships in Argentina would not be idle, and at the same time, several destroyers of the energy group began to leave their newly trimmed bases in India and sail to their new bases in Argentina in South America.
Since Argentina did not have a strong navy, the Argentine Navy did not go to sea to directly confront the British Expeditionary Fleet, and the task of defending the Falklands fell to the Argentine Air Force and the 6th Army. Prior to this, the Argentine 6th Army had deployed three divisions with a total of 50,000 troops on the Falklands, and two squadrons of air force fighters were deployed in the airstrip of Port Argentina. The main object of the first round of strikes by the British was the air defense facilities in the port of Argentina, already the air base. But it didn't have much effect. The following passage is an excerpt from an AFP report.
Although the British expeditionary fleet invested huge forces to deal with the air base in the Argentine port that could pose a threat to it, and there were as many as 4o sorties of fighters bombing the Argentine port, but under the fierce counterattack of the Argentines, the British still did not cause much damage to the Argentine port at the cost of the loss of as many as 1o fighters, and the 12 F-12B sold by China to Argentina from the Argentine port (China's own model is the J-14B, which still needs to be manufactured by the energy group at present, and should be able to be manufactured by itself in a year) counterattacked the British expeditionary fleetThe British managed to get rid of the attack of anti-ship missiles fired by these fighters with great difficulty, but they still paid the price of serious damage to one frigate. The Argentines ended the counterattack with no hope of attacking. If the Argentines had had more fighters to attack the British expeditionary fleet, the situation for the British would not have been so bad.
On June 11, at 2 a.m., a British special forces attacked South Georgia. As they had done 23 years earlier, the British hoped to seize a forward base by taking control of South Georgia. But will the current situation make it so easy for the British?
Twenty-three years ago, there was only one squad of Argentine soldiers stationed in South Georgia, and this time the Argentines learned the lessons of the last war and arranged a battalion of defensive forces on South Georgia, and it was the elite unit of the Navy's 6th Combat Unit. It later became known from the declassified information that the strength of this battalion included at least one squad of snipers of the energy group. The battle began at 2 a.m., and when the special forces of the British Special Air Service arrived in transport helicopters with pride, they thought there would be little resistance, because 2o minutes earlier there were already naval ships coming to shell them. They also thought that this operation, like the one 23 years ago, was just a battlefield "exercise." But their calculations were completely wrong, and they were greeted by a fierce fire. The 1o helicopters on the transport mission were shot down 3 before they could reach 6, two of them exploded in the air, and none of the people on board were spared, while the other one finally landed, but was immediately captured by the waiting Argentine special forces. The four helicopter gunships that served as firefighters were the focus of attention, and they were hit in the air and exploded almost immediately. The British plan failed completely, not only did not occupy South Georgia, but lost more than 1oo elite special forces, and the first British prisoner was born here, and at the end of the whole battle, only one transport helicopter escaped the battlefield with wounds, and of course, failed to drop the special forces above. The other 9 were either destroyed or captured. The shape of the battlefield can be said to be one-sided. Some of the British special forces who had already landed on the battlefield showed out the su zhì that they should have as a warrior and put up stubborn resistance. However, under the merciless blows of snipers of unknown origin, these special forces felt as if they had returned to the Korean battlefield 6 years ago, and those who were not eliminated in the end lost the will to resist and surrendered!
The actions of the British can be said to be unfavorable, first the expeditionary fleet was attacked, the loss of a frigate, so that the fleet's anti-submarine network was overlooked, only temporarily replaced by air defense destroyers, and since Argentina did not attack nuclear submarines, this problem is not obvious. But the loss of more than 1oo elite special forces on the island of South Georgia made the commander-in-chief of the British expeditionary force very painful. This is nearly half of the property of the British Special Air Service, and it is definitely not cheaper to train an excellent special forces than a pilot. These people were originally intended to be used in Stanley (Argentina) Port, but now they have lost money on South Georgia, and even if the country urgently sends new special forces, it will not be able to launch a ground offensive in the near future. This clearly exposes the drawbacks of the United Kingdom, which has come from thousands of miles away.
On 13 June, the British had already launched two consecutive days of attacks on Argentine ground targets in the port of Stanley (Argentina) and on the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), but the results were not significant. Britain's form of warfare, which completely uses the navy and does not receive the strong support of the air force, will not work at all if it encounters a country that is not weak, and Argentina will no longer be at the mercy of the British 23 years later.
The British expeditionary fleet has only two aircraft carriers, of which the Son of the Ocean is the first of a new aircraft carrier commissioned in 2oo7, with a standard displacement of 60,000 tons, carrying 4O F-35 fighters, 4 AWACS aircraft, and 6 helicopters. And in wartime, it is possible to increase the number of -35 aircraft on board to more than 55 aircraft. The Blue Ocean is the Son of the Sea's Zimei ship. This time, the British expeditionary fleet carried a total of 12O F-35 fighters. Although it has reached the level of 15o% in peacetime, it is already very difficult to seize air supremacy over the Falklands with these 12o fighters alone, which is already very difficult after the Argentine Air Force has greatly strengthened its strength.
On 14 June, the British Expeditionary Fleet had moved to the sea 7oo kilometers from the Falklands, in order to intensify the air attack on the Falklands, and the British Expeditionary Fleet's lost fighters were also replenished through the emergency deployment of the Falklands. 2o More than 35 F-35 fighters arrived at the expeditionary fleet after transferring to Ascension Island. Britain began a new round of air strikes.
At 2 p.m., the Argentine Ministry of Defense stated that the Argentine Navy's submarines had sunk two large ships of the British expeditionary fleet, but did not specify what type. The news announced by Argentina immediately caused a worldwide sensation, the British expeditionary fleet has as many as 8 anti-submarine ships, and its anti-submarine helicopters are also as many as 3o or more, and there are at least two of Britain's latest attack nuclear submarines in the sea carrying out anti-submarine missions, Argentina is very good at using these news to boost their morale, what they need is to have a piece of news, who did it is not what they think, anyway, the energy group will support itself, on the same day George, who is known for being tough? Siruyt ascended to the presidency of Argentina, and Li Cong was personally present, after all, this was the only precedent for all the political departments to send their own members to the presidency first.
