… The Bureau of Prosperity really intervened. Things are much simpler

On the day of April rising, accompanied by Hua Jianfeng, Pei Chengyi first met Teresescu face to face.

Although the chief of staff of the Argentine Navy was still reluctant to obey Pei Chengyi's command, hoping to maintain the original relationship and only restore Pei Chengyi's adviser status, in the case of Theron's direct intervention, he had already lost for a while, and was unable to turn the tide of the war, Teresescu, who could only compromise, handed over the command of the navy after Pei Chengyi promised not to interfere in the personnel arrangements of the Argentine Navy.

After getting rid of the navy, Pei Chengyi made persistent efforts and aimed the spearhead at the Cha army.

In the eyes of many people, Alfonso has a weak foundation in the Albanian army, and his background is far inferior to that of Patos and Teresescu. In this case. Alfonso will definitely follow the general trend and take the initiative to cooperate with Pei Chengyi. In fact, the problem is far from that simple. Because whether or not we can recover the Falklands depends on whether or not we can gain air supremacy, the Air Force has received the most attention in the modernization of national defense, and the struggle for the control of the Air Force has also been the most intense. Alfonso's ability to overcome many competitors and become chief of staff of the Air Force in his early years has a lot to do with the way he receives people, in addition to his excellent service record. Let's put it simply. Of the three Argentine service commanders, Alfonso was the most tactful and the most able to play with his wrists.

On the evening of the sun, Pei Chengyi found Alfonso.

Unlike when facing Teresescu, Pei Chengyi not only did not bring Huajian to fight, but also did not show Alfonso as soon as he came up. In fact, as early as a few months ago, when he first met Alfonso, Pei Chengyi knew. This lieutenant general of the Argentine Air Force is not simple. As Pei Chengyi expected, Alfonso not only took the initiative to consult Pei Chengyi, but also offered to obey Pei Chengyi's command. It's just that these are all tactics to retreat into advance, and their ultimate goal is not to hand over command. When it comes to specific issues. Alfonso used excuses that had been prepared long ago, such as language barriers, unfamiliarity with the situation, backward basic conditions, etc., to try his best to create obstacles and make Pei Chengyi retreat.

A few days ago, Alfonso's tricks were sure to have had an effect.

The problem now is that even if Pei Chengyi wants to make concessions, he can't do so, because it was not his idea to take over the command of the Afghan army, but a secret agreement reached between Theron and the Military Intelligence Agency, that is, under the condition that Pei Chengyi is given absolute military command, the Military Intelligence Agency will provide absolute guarantees for the interests of the Theron family. In order to make Theron absolutely reassured, Liu Xiaobin also brought a "letter of guarantee" with legal efficiency signed by Yuanqing, the head of the country, which shows that the Military Intelligence Bureau has made a desperate bet and no longer cares too much about the consequences. Theron has no other choice, after reaching a secret agreement, he and Pei Chengyi are already in a symbiotic relationship of both losses and prosperity.

With the absolute support of the Argentine president, Alfonso can cause a little trouble at best.

After getting rid of the lieutenant general of the Argentine Air Force, Pei Chengyi did not directly face Patos, but left the task of dealing with the commander of the Argentine Army to his assistant Dongfang Wen.

In the early morning of 10,000 July, Pei Chengyi held the first joint meeting at the Argentine Navy Command.

Although Cerron agreed to provide a special office space for the Joint Command, Pei Chengyi felt that it was completely unnecessary and chose the Argentine Navy Command instead.

This choice is to take care of Hua Jianfeng, after all, among the soldiers of the Republic to Afghanistan, Hua Jianfeng's military rank and authority are only lower than Pei Chengyi; Second, the Argentine Navy Command has a more complete infrastructure, with several sets of advanced communication equipment covering various frequency bands; Third, the Falklands dispute is based on naval warfare, and the combat operations of the Navy are very crucial. In the end, Pei Chengyi didn't want to have anything to do with Alfonso. Because in addition to getting the commander of the Argentine Army and obtaining the qualifications to be in charge of the General Staff, in addition to choosing the naval command, you can only choose the air force command.

Because Patos was very dissatisfied with Pei Chengyi's takeover of the commander of the Afghan army, he only sent a major adjutant to observe.

Facing Teresescu, Alfonso, and many old officers of the Argentine army, navy and air force, Pei Chengyi did not feel pressure, and did not even take them seriously, because there were still dozens of officers of the advisory group in the conference room, as well as many old military intelligence agency personnel who followed Hua Jiafeng.

In fact, even Hua Jianfeng did not pay attention to his Argentine counterparts.

"Although no definite intelligence has been obtained, our concerns have largely been confirmed that at least four British submarines did not return to the military port in preparation for the expedition in accordance with the mobilization order issued by the British Ministry of Defence. That is, it is quite possible that these four submarines have already gone south and even reached the warring seas. "The briefing was given by an intelligence analyst sent by the Military Intelligence Agency." The specific four submarines are uncertain for the time being because the British Navy has tightly sealed the news and processed the distinguishable features of the submarines before entering the port. Only one thing is certain, that is, all "fast, class attack submarines, and possibly even all improved versions of the second batch." ”

"How reliable is the whisper?"

"It won't be less than eighty." Intelligence analysts seem to have felt that the answers were not accurate enough. "Because over the years, especially in recent years, the Russian Navy's submarine strength has greatly improved, combat readiness patrols have become more frequent, and an average of two to three attack submarines are sent to the North Atlantic every month, so from five years ago, the British Navy has strengthened the combat readiness of its submarine forces and increased the coverage of strategic submarines." According to the information we have obtained, the navy of a limited country has adopted a more flexible tactic, that is, two strategic patrol areas in the Atlantic Ocean, and one attack submarine to carry out anti-submarine escort missions in each sea area, instead of equipping strategic submarines on patrol with escort submarines. As a result, the burden on attacking submarine units will be greatly reduced, and the duty rate of submarine units will be effectively guaranteed. Because it takes at least a week, or even half a month, to adjust the strategic patrol, we have enough reason to believe that at least two attack submarines are carrying out strategic escort missions, and the six "astute, class attack submarines" are returning to port, so we conclude that the four that are heading south are the "fast, class, and possibly four second-batch types." ”

Pei Chengyi nodded, indicating that he understood what the intelligence analyst meant.

Although Pei Chengyi does not care much about the grievances between Britain and Russia, according to the popular international saying. Since the Republic made public the details of its strategic nuclear arsenal, the United States has reached a secret agreement with Great Britain that the United States Navy will use its submarine forces against the Republic and only against Russia, while Britain will concentrate its forces on Russia. To this end, the United States has not only pledged to share the most advanced submarine technology with the United Kingdom. Also in various ways support the British in the construction of more submarines. Although the credibility of such rumors is not high. There is also no evidence. No one can even say the exact source, but in reality, it may be true. Without the assistance of the United States, would it have been possible for Britain to be the first to build attack submarines with "magnetohydropropulsion devices" ahead of other Western countries? What's more, before that, Britain once reduced the number of attack submarines to 6, and at most times, the number of attack submarines in Britain increased to thugs. To know. During this period, the British Navy also built three aircraft carriers and dozens of large surface warships, and even if the annual public military spending is not high, without the secret financial support provided by the United States, with Britain's national strength, it is simply impossible to maintain a navy that is the third largest in the world. There is even reason to believe that the shrewd British have joined the United States in arming the entire navy with the funds provided by the United States for the development of submarines.

Of course, that's all a stretch.

According to international rumors, Britain benefited greatly from the secret agreement before the milk year, because before that, the weakened polar bear, except for the occasional flap of its teeth and claws, at most symbolically sent a few old-fashioned bombers and a few battered submarines to the North Atlantic to show its presence, not only could not pose a threat to the United States and Britain, but also did not threaten the United States and Britain.

It was only after the Year of the Blade that the good days of the British came to an end. With the end of the Great Depression, the global economy began to recover strongly, the demand for resources in the world has increased greatly, and several major economies have adjusted their economic structures with the help of the recovery momentum of the post-Great Depression era. As a regional power with a tradition of expansion, stimulated by economic recovery. Russia's great power ambitions have exploded again. According to incomplete statistics, only in the first year of the blade era, the British Navy had to "get in close contact" with the Russian Navy's nuclear submarines many times a month, and almost every two days staged a thrilling "underwater Hollywood blockbuster". Britain spends far more on military expenses each year than it receives from the United States, and it has long since outweighed its losses, including collateral losses.

How to reduce military spending has become the focus of the British Redefense Department in recent years.

According to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency. If it were not for the fact that military spending could not make ends meet, the British Navy would purchase the third batch of "fast" class attack submarines in the field fiscal year. Although there is no evidence that the "fast" class of the third batch is a significant improvement over the first two batches, there is enough reason to believe that through the experience accumulated in previous years. The UK has mastered more "magnetofluid propulsion technology." "It is quite possible that in the third batch" quickly. The stage is equipped with a more advanced cruise propulsion system, which increases the maximum cruising degree of the submarine to the force joint, or even above. As a result, precisely because military spending is too small, and the navy has been focused on downsizing, it has to replace the "fast" level procurement plan thugs with the "smart" class of improved calculations.

While thinking, Pei Chengyi looked at Hua Jianfeng.

"There's a question that I haven't figured out."

Teresescu suddenly spoke, and Hua Jianfeng could only burst into tears, waiting for the Argentine Navy Chief of Staff to finish speaking.

"If Tuizawa is not wrong, at the beginning he mentioned that he could not determine the identity of the four submarines, but in the end, he concluded that they were four "fast, class attack submarines, and it was also thought that there may be four second-batch submarines." Isn't that inconsistency? After speaking, Teresescu deliberately glanced at Pei Chengyi.

Faced with the question of the chief of staff of the Argentine Navy, Pei Chengyi secretly smiled bitterly and turned his attention to the intelligence analyst.

The intelligence analyst did not rush to speak, but cast an inquiring glance at Hua Jianfeng.

Hua Jianfeng thought about it for a moment before nodding slightly.

Getting the Vice Admiral's Ken, the intelligence analyst did not hesitate any longer and pulled up a few pictures from the computer. "This is a photo taken by our reconnaissance satellite, on the left is the" fast , class attack submarine, on the right is "astute, class attack submarine, it can be seen that the appearance characteristics of the two are very obvious, the difference is also very obvious, even the average military enthusiast can recognize the two types of submarines. ”

"If the British Navy wants to hide the truth, don't be hungry and pretend to be a brother, the senior soldier sitting next to Theresescu."

"Camouflage is certain, but camouflage is camouflage, and fake is fake." The intelligence analyst was not stumped, and took out a few more photos, "This is also taken by a reconnaissance satellite, but it is not a visible photo, the left is infrared phasing, the middle is radar phasing, and the right is polarization spectrum. It is undeniable that camouflage can wield a deceptive effect, but in modern scouts, no camouflage can be flawless, and a fake is a fake, and it can never be true

"One means won't work, but several will always work, right?

"Theoretically, there is such a possibility, but"

"It's better to leave such technical issues to the technical staff to argue." Hua Jianfeng knocked on the table, stopped the intelligence analyst who was a little excited, and said to Teresescu, "If you are interested, we can provide all the information, including the original reconnaissance photos." Anyway, we have to admit it. So far, four British submarines have not been in our surveillance range. According to the information previously available, it is likely that the four submarines will have left the port in early April. That is, these four submarines could appear near the Falklands at any time. ”

"General Zhaohua's words, the purpose of our operation this time is to annihilate these four submarines?" Theresescu didn't dwell on the problem at the beginning, but with Hua Jianfeng.

Hua Jianfeng shook his head with a smile, leaving the opportunity to speak to Pei Chengyi.

"Admiral Tresescu, no matter how you look at it, your navy is not a navy whose main task is anti-submarine, and there is no need for us to get along with a few British submarines. To be honest, even if the four British submarines rushed over, they would not be able to provide much support to the defenders on the island. Pei Chengyi smiled and said. There is no doubt that whether or not we can control the sea will be the key to determining the outcome of this war, but at present. Our task is not to compete with a few British submarines for sea supremacy, but how to make the most of the sea supremacy in our hands

"General Pei, you mean, we already have the power to control the sea?"

Pei Chengyi smiled and nodded, not arguing with Teresescu, after all, he was not in the navy.

"Admiral Tresescu, I understand your thoughts very well, as an admiral from the submarine force, I do not want to underestimate the position of submarines in the navy, but we must admit that there is a crucial issue, that is, submarines, from the moment of their birth, are not weapons used to gain sea supremacy, but weapons to destroy sea supremacy.

Hua Jianfeng is the absolute authority of naval warfare and submarine warfare, and theoretical matters should naturally be resolved by him. "If you want to explain it in detail. We have to start with the essence of "sea power", which allows us to talk about it for a few days and nights. Of course, I am sure that General Tresescu, as the most outstanding representative of the Argentine Navy, will not fail to understand the truth

Obviously, seeing Pei Chengyi's attitude was very tactful, Hua Jianfeng was also much more polite.

was said by Hua Jianfeng, even if Teresescu still wanted to cause some trouble, there was no reason. Obviously, if he continued to dwell on the question of the beginning, whether he could say the reason or not, he would be very ignorant. As Chief of Staff of the Argentine Navy, Theresescu certainly could not behave too far in front of a group of his subordinates, as well as officers of the Air Force and Army, to make others think that he was an uneducated and reckless man. What's more, Pei Chengyi and Hua Jianfeng's tones were very tactful, giving him enough face.

"In fact, before the arrival of the British task force, sea supremacy was in our hands, and British submarines could only pose a threat to the sea supremacy in our possession at best, making it impossible for us to effectively use sea supremacy." Pei Chengyi pulled the topic back. "The ultimate goal of this combat operation is not to take out many British submarines, but to move to the Falklands to deliver reinforcements to the Army Assault Force and to fight for the surface combat operation to be completed before the weather changes. Of course, war is the most difficult thing to predict, so we must be prepared for all possible scenarios, and if necessary, we will look for it in battle. Or create opportunities to strike at the British Navy. ”

"How sure is General Pei that he will complete the combat mission?"

"I can't talk about it, I just know. We have no second choice, let alone a way out, Pei Chengyi glanced at Theresescu. "Although the war has only been going on for 120 hours so far, the situation is already very clear with the formation of a task force and mobilization for local wars by the British. The fact that we have provoked a war does not mean that it will be able to end it, at least so far there is no indication that it will end as we wish. It is up to us to decide when to end the war, there is no point in speculating on the outcome of the war, all we can do is to devote all our strength to overcoming every obstacle that comes our way, towards final victory

At this point, even Teresescu was excited.

I have to say that Pei Chengyi is very good at encouraging people's hearts.

In fact, Theresescu is not the biggest trouble.

When he picked up the teacup, Pei Chengyi glanced at Alfonso, who had not spoken. Like a statue, Alfonso, who sat without saying a word for hours, is even more worthy of caution.
