Section 1351 The Second Falklands War

Chapter 1351 The 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 armies of both sides have begun to retreat. China, the United States, Russia, and Europe

The military also began to enter the jurisdiction to carry out peace and supervision tasks. The Palestinian interim government and Israel signed the "Palestinian-Israeli Peace and Territorial Division Agreement". Both parties began to formally conduct government relations in the Palestinian area, and peacekeeping forces from China and Europe also entered.

In the Palestinian area, the work of maintaining local stability began. The energy group signed the (China-Israel Security Assurance Treaty) with Israel. The energy group began to formally assume the responsibility for Israel's nuclear security, and Israel also began to work under the supervision of China, the United States, Russia, and Europe.

Destroy nuclear weapons. Israel signed the (Middle East Nuclear-Free Treaty) with all Arab countries, and the nuclear monitoring team composed of China, the United States, Russia, and Europe officially began to carry out nuclear monitoring tasks in various countries in the Middle East.

On June 2, the Middle East Peace Treaty officially came into effect. 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, the one with the greatest profit is China.

After sending a negotiation team, they obtained the greatest rights in this area. Although they were only a name for the energy group, Li Cong must have brought them a lot of benefits.

The fifth Middle East War has had a profound impact on the world structure. First of all, the United States has lost its dominance in the Middle East. The United States no longer has a military base in the Middle East. Moreover, the United States’ wrong policies in the Middle East have led to no

Every country in the Middle East regards the United States as a friend. The biggest impact is that the energy group officially entered the Middle East and became the country with the greatest influence in the Middle East. The energy group’s neutral peace policy in the Middle East has been unanimously praised.

The energy group's military force also took this opportunity to officially establish its own position in the Middle East. Moreover, the energy group's method of resolving national conflicts was also well received, laying the foundation for the energy group to gain more support and diplomatic results in the country in the future.

In any future regional conflict, if a mediator is to be found, the first thing to consider is the energy group, not the United States. From then on, the energy group began to slowly replace the United States' position in the world.

On May 25, when the ceasefire negotiations in the Middle East were not yet over, the war in the South Atlantic added another spark to this unstable world. Argentina's secret forces captured the area as quickly as they did 23 years ago.

The Malvinas (Falklands) Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands were occupied by the British.

At 8 a.m., four hours after Argentina captured the Malvinas Islands, the United Kingdom announced that it would not sit idly by and allow its overseas territories to be occupied. On the same day, the new British Prime Minister Sampson announced that the United Kingdom would form a task force to sail to South Africa.

Atlantic Ocean, retaking the occupied Falkland Islands and its affiliated islands. The Second Falkland Islands War officially broke out.

The British-Arab disputed territory, referred to as the Falkland Islands, is located at 51°40′-53°00′ south latitude and 57°40′-62°00′ west longitude. It is located in the South Atlantic waters east of the southern tip of Argentina and more than 500 kilometers west of Argentina.

. About 480 kilometers northeast of the southern tip of South America, about the same distance east of the Strait of Magellan. The entire territory consists of two main islands: Soledad (East Falkland) and Malvina (West Falkland).

It consists of more than 200 small islands. The coast is tortuous and the terrain is complex. The archipelago is dominated by two east-west mountain ranges in the north, with the highest peak reaching 705 meters. The island is hilly, with short and slow rivers. The climate is cold and humid, with an average annual temperature of 5.6 degrees Celsius.

.The average annual precipitation is 625 mm, and there are about 250 days of rain and snow in a year.

The British navigator John Davis on the HMS Desire in 1592 may have been the first person to see the Falkland Islands. But the Dutchman Sebalddewww.jtxsk.comtoinedebougainville first sighted the East Falkland Islands in 1764.

Establish a settlement. The British were the first settlers in West Falkland Island in 1765, but were expelled by the Spanish in 1770. The Spanish bought all the property rights of the French settlement around 1767. The British fought in the Israel War

After being threatened, Spain restored its outpost on West Falkland Island in 1771, and withdrew from the island in 1774 for economic reasons, but did not give up its claim to sovereignty. Spain maintained an outpost on East Falkland Island (which it called the

The island remained a settlement of Soledad Island until 1811.

Argentina, which declared independence from Spain in 1816, claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands in 1820. In 1831, the USS Lexington destroyed Argentine settlements on East Falkland Island in retaliation for them.

Three American ships hunting seals in the area were illegally detained. In early 1833, the British expelled the remaining Argentine officials from the island without firing a shot. In 1841, the British assigned a civilian lieutenant governor to the island. By 1885, there was only one

The British community of about 1,800 people has become self-sufficient. Falkland Island became an official British colony in 1892. Argentina has always opposed British occupation of the islands.

After World War II, the issue of sovereignty over the Falkland Islands was transferred to the United Nations. In 1964, the United Nations Decolonization Committee debated the issue of the ownership of the islands. Argentina relied on the 1493 Papal Bull (later approved by the 1494 "

The Treaty of Tordesillas (treatyoftordesillas) was revised based on this (Spain and Portugal had divided the New World among themselves based on this, and claimed to have control over Fokker on the grounds of inheriting Spain, the proximity of the archipelago to South America, the need to end their colonial status, etc.

The United Kingdom claims sovereignty over the Falkland Islands on the basis of its "open, continuous and effective possession, occupation and administration" of the Islands since 1833 and its determination to apply the principle of self-determination recognized by the United Nations Charter to the Falkland Islanders.

Sovereignty. Britain claimed that surrendering the lives and property of the Falkland Islanders to the rule of Argentina against their will was by no means the end of colonial status, but the establishment of a new colony.

In 1965, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution inviting Britain and Argentina to hold talks to find a peaceful solution to the dispute. This protracted discussion was still going on in February 1982, and shortly thereafter the Argentine military government invaded on April 2, 1982.

The Falkland Islands war broke out. Ten weeks later, the war ended. Argentinian troops surrendered to the British army in Stanley, and the British army forcibly reoccupied the islands. The British continued to station troops on the islands.

It also imposed a military zone and a fishing reserve, the latter extending a considerable distance from the shore. The population is approximately 2,379.

In 1982, a war broke out between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the ownership of the Malvinas (Falklands) Islands. At that time, the United Kingdom received intelligence support from the United States, while Argentina was blocked by Western countries. Although the Argentinians were brave

The battle severely damaged the British task force that came from afar, but due to the gap in overall strength, the war was finally lost, and it triggered domestic unrest. Now the Argentines have been working hard for more than 20 years, and they are also making preparations

After more than 20 years, can the Argentines win the second Falklands War?

On May 30, 2015, the British task force was formed. The main force was the two British aircraft carriers "Son of the Sea" and "Blue Ocean". The escort missions were 4 level 45 air defense destroyers and 4 level 24 anti-submarine ships.

Frigates, 3 latest attack nuclear submarines. The forces responsible for retaking the Falklands are two brigades of the British Marine Corps, which are carried by 2 large amphibious assault ships and 3 transport ships. The formation also has 2 large comprehensive supply ships.

Responsible for the fleet's ocean-going supply mission. King Charles of the United Kingdom personally went to Portsmouth Port to hold a farewell ceremony for the departure of the task force. After the British task force left Portsmouth, they rushed towards the South Atlantic with murderous intent.

It has shouldered the honor of being 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 maintain a neutral status. On the same day, the New European Union, Great Russia, and China all announced that they would remain neutral. The energy group did not follow them because Li Cong knew that the group

The internal relationship with Argentina can be said to be very good. In the past, he planned to commit suicide under the Skull and Bones Society. Now that he has the opportunity, he cannot let it pass. He also knows that even if he declares neutrality, the Americans will not believe it.

Same hypocrisy? It’s no longer necessary. We are very powerful and we directly announced that we would intervene.

This is just like 23 years ago. Although the United States maintains neutrality on the surface, the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is extraordinary. The only ally the United States can consider in Europe is the United Kingdom. Both the United States and the United Kingdom are Anglo-Saxons.

The United States will not help Britain. But South America has always been the backyard of the United States, and Argentina's important position in South America is obvious, so the United States cannot risk offending all South American countries to come to the country.

They support the United Kingdom. If it were any other country, the United States would appease it, but Argentina? They will not forget how many troubles Argentina has made with the help of Li Er in the past few years.

The United States wants to use the same trick it did 23 years ago to help Britain secretly, so that Britain can win this war, and at the same time combat the trend of South America gradually developing into a counter-independence force. This move of the United States cannot but be said to be ruthless, but

Will the current world situation allow the United States to succeed? The world has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past 23 years. The United States is no longer the world's dominant power. There are now many countries that can contain every move of the United States. Therefore, the New European Alliance, Great Russia and

China will not let go of this opportunity to severely damage the dominance of the United States in South America. Moreover, the biggest difference is that the energy group announced that it will support Argentina. Although the Letcher family in the UK is not like Li Cong

After a long discussion, Li Cong finally decided to support Argentina because he could see 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 the footsteps of the United States and imposed a military embargo on Argentina. At that time, France originally sold Exocet missiles to Argentina.

It was detained in France and was not delivered to Argentina. However, Argentina only used the 5 Exocet missiles in its hands to sink a large destroyer and a large troop carrier in the British fleet. If Argentina had more Exocet missiles in its hands at that time,

Maybe history will be rewritten. Now Europe is no longer under the control of the United States and has become a pole of world power. Moreover, Europeans are also very angry and will never let this go and let the United States continue to be weakened.

Opportunity. Although the new European Union expressed neutrality on the surface, Germany and France both expressed that they would continue military cooperation with Argentina and sold Argentina the latest anti-ship weapons.

23 years ago, the Soviet Union had already stood on Argentina's side. Of course, there is no free pie in the sky. The Soviet Union helped Argentina at that time to attack the United States, but it backfired. In the end, the Soviet Union's help did not allow Argentina to win.

.But now Great Russia has basically returned to the level of the former Soviet Union, so Great Russia will not miss this opportunity. Russia has had enough in terms of nuclear weapons reduction, anti-ballistic missile treaty, economic assistance, and competition for spheres of influence.

The Great Russians will never let this opportunity to avenge the bullying of the United States slip away. On May 26, Great Russia stated that it could sell the most advanced fighter jets to Argentina and provide Argentina with

Training pilots.

In 1982, China had just entered into reform and opening up, and it was at an inextricable war with Vietnam. China was not in the mood, nor had the ability, to intervene in matters in the distant South Atlantic. However, the brave actions of the Argentinians served China well.

The successful recovery of Hong Kong created good conditions. The then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher took advantage of the aftermath of winning the Falklands War to visit China. She said 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

But it made Thatcher understand that China is not Argentina, and Hong Kong is not the Falklands. A country as small as Argentina can cause huge harm to the British expedition fleet, and China is absolutely capable of taking back Hong Kong, which is just around the corner.

Whether by force or negotiation.

On the surface, today's China is not as good as the United States and the New European Union economically, 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 2013, India's population was

(exceeding China), but no one can underestimate China’s comprehensive national strength. Although the economic scale is only about 60% of that of the United States, there is still huge room for RMB appreciation. No one can ignore this. China’s comprehensive national strength

It is already third in the world, behind the United States and the New European Union, and the gap is very small. If the speed continues, it will surpass the United States economically within 10 years, and will definitely become the country with the most powerful comprehensive national power within 20 years. And China

It has always supported the regional nationalist movements, so in the outbreak of the second Falklands War, although China clearly stated that it would remain neutral, no one would doubt that China would use its greatest strength to support Argentina.

During the Taiwan War, the Second Korean War, the Fourth India-Pakistan War, and the Fifth Middle East War, the relationship between China and the United States can be said to have reached the point where they would do anything short of direct war.

Can China let go of such a good opportunity to entangle the United States? On May 24, Argentina reached a secret agreement with China (this was only declassified 20 years later, after the world situation had been settled)

), China will dispatch submarine forces to escort Argentina’s transport fleet to China, and China will provide Argentina with fighter aircraft and ammunition. As early as a year ago, two batches of more than 500 Argentine pilots came to China to begin training to adapt to

China's weapon systems. China did not sell weapons to Argentina in the form of cash during the war. Argentina could purchase them in the form of loans, and China could choose to use this part of the funds to purchase Argentina's iron ore, rubber, crops, etc. For convenience

Regarding the actions of Chinese naval submarines, Argentina has secretly opened two underground submarine caverns for Chinese nuclear submarines to be stationed. Of course, at the most important time, China will send combat personnel to Argentina on a voluntary basis, including pilots, submarine officers and soldiers, special forces, etc., China

It has become the most important force supporting Argentina and a force that rivals the United States in supporting the United Kingdom!

The energy group also turned a blind eye to China's bypassing of its separate agreement with Argentina. Sweet cooperation can never last forever. During the last Middle East war, China couldn't get away, so everything was

My own, I have to get whatever I want this time. However, the Energy Group has used more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in arms in exchange for the right to station troops in Argentina. No matter how far the war goes, the Energy Group’s military headquarters will reach out.

South America is a fact.

On June 1, the British expeditionary fleet has arrived in British Gibraltar. After a day of rest here, it will set off for Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Ascension Island has always been the British forward base in the Atlantic. 23 years ago

During the Falklands War, the British task force began its war journey here after its last replenishment. Later, British long-range bombers took off directly from here to attack the Argentine-occupied Malvinas Islands.

The port was bombed.

On the same day, the U.S. government announced that the United States would send a task force with two aircraft carriers as the core to conduct goodwill visits to four South American countries, including Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Peru. Now everyone knows that the visit of this U.S. fleet will obviously

It is here to cheer up the British, and also to tell other South American countries to be honest and not to try to help Argentina in this war. At the same time, it also wants to show that it is still dominant in South America. The focus of world public opinion has fallen on this

Regarding the war that is about to break out in the South Atlantic, everyone knows that this is a proxy war between the United States and China, the New European Alliance, and Great Russia.

On June 2, China announced that at the invitation of the Argentine military, China would dispatch a task force with the two aircraft carriers Yue Fei and Han Xian as the core to pay a goodwill visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina. China will not

All cooperation with Argentina will be terminated. The signed contracts will continue to be implemented, and the bilateral trade volume with Argentina is intended to be expanded. The most concerning thing is that along with the Chinese fleet, there are 4 "Xin Song" class AIPs ready to be delivered to Argentina.

Conventional submarines are the latest conventional submarines developed by China on the German 214 and the French Squid class. Their performance is among the best in the world. However, in order to adapt to the development of the new strategy, the Chinese Navy is mainly equipped with nuclear submarines, so it is not

This kind of submarine is not equipped, and the purpose of production is for export. The first place to place an order was Argentina. Argentina spent 24 billion to buy 12 submarines in one go. The unit price of 20 yuan is quite cheap (after the world economic crisis, China’s

Foreign trade is settled in RMB, breaking the era of the US dollar. Now the main currencies in the world are the US dollar, the new euro, the new ruble, and the renminbi. What will be delivered this time is the second batch of four ships. The first

The first batch of four ships has been delivered a year ago and has formed combat effectiveness. The second batch of four ships was planned to be delivered a year later. However, the advent of the war has accelerated the delivery speed. Of course, the price will be correspondingly higher.

So much so. The fourth batch of four submarines was originally planned to be manufactured in Argentina, with technology provided by China. However, with the outbreak of the second Falklands War, it was finally changed to be manufactured in China. The pilots of these four submarines are all experienced

The Argentine sailors who have completed training in China are ready to go into battle at any time, 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 sailors.

The captain is responsible for commanding these weapons of naval warfare.

China blatantly dispatched a task force to the South Atlantic at this time, which immediately caused a major turmoil in the world. The grudges between China and the United States can be said to be long-standing. Since the Taiwan War and the Second Korean War, the United States has repeatedly

In confronting China in international affairs, China has never found an opportunity to fight back. Now the opportunity has come. Many people think that China and the United States will have a big fight in the South Atlantic. However, senior analysts believe that China and the United States will fight in the South Atlantic.

The possibility of a direct confrontation in the Atlantic is quite small, because the United States' power in South America is deeply rooted. If China dares to challenge the United States here, just like the United States challenges China in Southeast Asia and the Korean Peninsula, the Chinese will not

They would be stupid enough to start a war in which the weather, geography, and people are all in the hands of the other side. But the fact that the Chinese and American fleets are coming to join the excitement at this time still attracts the attention of the world. Everyone wants to see China and the United States.

What role does it play in this Anglo-Afghan conflict? Moreover, several major world casinos have placed odds on the outcome of the Anglo-Afghan war. It can be said that there was nothing to bet on in the previous wars. Either the power disparity was too great, or the

The situation is too unclear, or the situation will change suddenly, and it is difficult to predict. However, this Anglo-Afghan war is backed by several of the most powerful countries or groups of countries in the world, and it is basically a naval battle, so it is

It's easy to place a bet.

The Energy Group will not withdraw from such a grand event. The South American branch of the Energy Group's military headquarters directly announced that more than two hundred aircraft will be deployed in Argentina. As for the Navy, more than four newly developed arsenal ships have also arrived in Buenos, Argentina.

Ellis pays a visit.

The arsenal ship, also known as the powerful ship, is a large surface ship plan proposed by the Energy Group when formulating the 21st century warship (sc-21) plan. The future arsenal ship can use powerful firepower to carry out fire support, air defense and ground combat.

As a launch platform for anti-missile weapons, it carries a large number of missile weapons and has extremely strong strike capabilities against land, sea and air. It is a "missile arsenal" floating on the sea and is known as the "first ship of the 21st century."

The arsenal is 244 meters long, with a displacement of 11,900 tons. It has 500 vertically launched missiles and can be equipped with a variety of missiles, which can target air, sea and ground. Other weapons and equipment on the ship include: two 155 mm naval guns and 2,400 advanced rounds.

Guided artillery shells, anti-missile systems, two ship-based helicopters, one drone, two remote-controlled mine extinguishers, two unmanned submarines, a certain number of torpedoes, communication sonar, communication systems and combat command systems, etc.

The hull has a double-shell structure and the superstructure is very small. During combat, the height of the hull above the water is only 1.5 meters to minimize the reflection of radar waves. The arsenal ship only has a crew of 20, but it needs a supply ship to accompany it.

By reloading the vertical launch system in time, the Energy Group's arsenal ship can launch more than a hundred missiles of various types in one minute. It can be said that it is definitely a floating sea powder keg. The combat effectiveness of four arsenal ships is definitely more than that of two aircraft carriers.

The aircraft carrier group can release thousands of missiles within five minutes. Can the aircraft carrier group resist it?

On June 6, the British Expeditionary Fleet arrived at Ascension Island at a speed of up to 22 knots. Due to the slow transport ships, this was the maximum speed the entire fleet could achieve. The British task force will conduct a day's operation here.

Recuperate before embarking on the final journey.

The U.S. task force has also arrived in the Mid-Atlantic in northern Brazil and is heading towards Rio de Janeiro. Along the way, the fleet has conducted many anti-submarine and air defense exercises. Analysts believe that this is the United States demonstrating its powerful sea control.

Air force was used to express that the United States would speed up the end of the war through direct intervention when necessary.

China's task force also left the Ryukyu Naval Base in Ryukyu Province (formerly Okinawa, now all renamed to the former Ryukyu Island), and more than 20 ships galloped majestically in the Pacific. However, due to the distance, China's

The fleet will arrive in the South Atlantic at least 10 days later than the U.S. fleet.

On June 7, the British Expeditionary Fleet left Ascension Island and headed south with an anti-submarine force. The preparations for the war were over. Now it was time to see how the soldiers on both sides could contribute to their motherland.

Less than 200 nautical miles away from Ascension Island, the British Expeditionary Fleet discovered that it was being monitored by a submarine of unknown nationality. The frigate responsible for anti-submarine missions immediately rushed in the direction of the discovered submarine, but did not achieve any results. The British did not announce it.

What kind of submarine was discovered? But analysts concluded that it was definitely not a conventional submarine, because when the British anti-submarine frigate arrived, it was discovered that the submarine had escaped. If it were a conventional submarine, it would never be able to escape the frigate, so

It can 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. From later declassified documents, we learned that it was a French Barracuda-class nuclear submarine. At that time

He was performing a routine patrol mission in the Atlantic Ocean. When he discovered the British Expeditionary Fleet, he conducted an exploratory attack exercise. After obtaining the data of the British Expeditionary Fleet, he left his position, so the British did not capture it.

, but the British also knew from the sonar analysis that it was a French submarine, so they did not pursue it any further. They just secretly protested to the French government. The British did not want to offend the new European Union at this time!

On June 10, the British Expeditionary Fleet arrived in the waters 800 kilometers east of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands and 1,200 kilometers away from the Argentine mainland. At 4 p.m., British carrier-based aircraft launched an attack on Soledad (East Falkland)

The first round of air strikes was carried out on the Argentine (Stanley) Port on the island. At the same time, the British government declared that the 200 kilometers around the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) was a war zone, requiring ships from all countries to detour and stay within this area.

, the British government will not assume any responsibility for any incident of accidental damage and accidental attack. The second Anglo-Afghan Falklands War officially started. However, Li Cong then announced that he would not recognize the war zone. If his transport ship was attacked, he would be in Argentina.

The arsenal ship will not be idle. At the same time, several destroyers of the Energy Group began to leave the newly pruned base in India and headed for the new base in Argentina, South America.

Since Argentina does not have strong naval strength, except for dispatching submarine units, the Argentine Navy did not go to sea to directly confront the British expeditionary fleet. The task of defending the Falklands fell on the Argentine Air Force and Army. Prior to this, Argentina

The Army has deployed three divisions with a total of 50,000 troops on the Falklands, and deployed two air force fighter squadrons at the airstrip in the Argentine Port. The main target of the British first round of strikes was the air defense in the Argentine Port.

facilities, including air force bases. But it has not achieved much results. The following paragraph is excerpted from a report by Agence France-Presse.

Although the British Expeditionary Fleet invested a huge amount of force to deal with the air base in the Argentine port that posed a threat to it, and as many as 40 fighter planes bombed the Argentine port, but under the fierce counterattack of the Argentinians, the British paid a heavy price

Despite the loss of up to 10 fighter planes, it still did not cause much damage to the Argentine port. The 12 F-12Bs sold by China to Argentina that took off from the Argentine port (China’s own model is the J-14B, are still

It needs to be manufactured by the energy group, and it should be able to be manufactured by itself in a year) to fight back against the British expeditionary fleet. The British tried their best to get rid of the anti-ship missile attacks launched by these fighters, but they still paid a lot of effort.

The cost of serious damage to a frigate. The Argentinean ended its counterattack when the attack was hopeless. If the Argentinian could have more fighters to participate in the attack on the British Expeditionary Fleet, then the British situation would not be so bad.

On June 11, at 2 o'clock in the morning, a British special forces sneak attack on South Georgia Island. Just like 23 years ago, the British hoped to seize a forward base by controlling South Georgia Island. But the current situation will make

Is it so easy for the British to succeed?

23 years ago, there was only one squad of Argentine soldiers stationed on South Georgia Island. This time, the Argentines learned from the lessons of the last war and arranged a defensive battalion on South Georgia Island, which was an elite unit of the Marine Corps. Afterwards,

From the declassified information, we learned that this battalion included at least one squad of snipers from the Energy Group. The battle started at 2 o'clock in the morning. The special forces of the British Special Air Service boarded a transport helicopter with arrogance and arrogance.

When they arrived, they thought they would not encounter much resistance, because a navy ship had come to shell it 20 minutes ago. They also thought that this operation was just a battlefield "exercise" like the one 23 years ago.

That's all. But their calculations were completely wrong, and they were greeted by fierce firepower. Three of the 10 helicopters responsible for transportation were shot down before they landed. Two of them exploded in the air, and no one on board was spared.

The other one finally landed, but was immediately captured by the waiting Argentine special forces. The four armed helicopters serving as fire staff were the focus of attention, and they were hit and exploded almost immediately. The British

The plan failed completely. Not only did they fail to capture South Georgia Island, but they lost more than 100 elite special forces. The British's first prisoner was also born here. At the end of the entire battle, only one transport helicopter took him.

They were injured and fled the battlefield. Of course, they were unable to drop the special forces on them. The other 9 were either destroyed or captured. The situation on the battlefield can be said to be one-sided. Some of the British special forces who had landed on the battlefield showed their ability as a warrior.

They had certain qualities and put up a tenacious resistance. However, under the ruthless attacks of snipers of unknown origin, these special forces felt as if they had returned to the Korean battlefield 6 years ago. Those who were not eliminated in the end lost their resistance.

Will, surrender everything!

The British action can be said to have started badly. First, the expeditionary fleet was attacked and a frigate was lost, which caused some omissions in the fleet's anti-submarine network. They could only be temporarily replaced by air defense destroyers. Since Argentina did not attack nuclear submarines, this

The problem is not obvious yet. But the loss of more than 100 elite special forces on South Georgia Island made the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force very sad. This is nearly half of the British Special Air Service's family property. To train a

Excellent special forces are definitely not cheaper than pilots. These people were originally intended to be used in the Port of Stanley (Argentina), but now they have suffered unexpected losses on South Georgia Island. Even if the country urgently dispatches new special forces, they will not be able to use them.

It is impossible to launch a ground offensive in the near future. This clearly exposes the shortcomings of the British coming from thousands of miles away.

On June 13, the British carried out two consecutive days of attacks on Argentine ground targets in Port Stanley (Argentina) and the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), but the results were not obvious. The British

A form of warfare that solely utilizes the navy and does not receive strong support from the air force is completely unfeasible if it encounters a country that is not weak in strength. 23 years later, Argentina is no longer a target of the British.

The British Expeditionary Fleet has only two aircraft carriers. The Son of the Sea is the first of the new aircraft carriers commissioned in 2007. It has a standard displacement of 60,000 tons and carries 40 F-35 fighter jets, 4 early warning aircraft, and 6 helicopters.

In wartime, the number of F-35s carried can be increased to more than 55. The Blue Ocean is the sister ship of the Son of the Ocean. This time the British expeditionary fleet carried a total of 120 F-35 fighter jets. Although it has reached 150% of the usual number

level, but just using these 120 fighter jets to seize the air supremacy over the Falklands is already very difficult after the Argentine Air Force has greatly strengthened its strength.

On June 14, the British Expeditionary Fleet had maneuvered to the sea 700 kilometers away from the Falklands. This was to increase the intensity of air strikes on the Falklands. The lost fighter jets of the British Expeditionary Fleet were also replenished through domestic emergency deployment.

More than 20 F-35 fighter jets arrived at the expedition fleet after passing through Ascension Island. Britain began a new round of air strikes.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Argentine Ministry of Defense issued a statement that the Argentine Navy's submarine sank two large ships of the British Expeditionary Fleet, but did not specify what model they were. The news announced by Argentina immediately caused a worldwide sensation, and the British

The expeditionary fleet has more than 8 anti-submarine ships and more than 30 anti-submarine helicopters. There are also at least two of Britain's latest attack nuclear submarines performing anti-submarine missions in the sea. Argentina will use this news to encourage

For their own morale, what they need is a piece of news. Who did it is not what they think. Anyway, the energy group will support them. On the same day, George Siluit, who is known for his toughness, became the president of Argentina.

Li Cong was present in person to take the seat. After all, this was the only precedent among all the political departments that sent his own members to the president first.
