Volume 10 Reshuffle Chapter 84 Arrange the troops
When Fu Chengyi was arranging his troops. 【】Dufo, who has already arrived at the Royal Navy Command, does the same.
When he met the commander of the Royal Navy at the airport, Du Qiwei knew that the admiral was very dissatisfied with the prime minister's arrangement, and although he did not dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of the prime minister, it would certainly be easy to cause some trouble to the American generals who had come from afar.
Face this challenge. Dugway's approach is straightforward: say less and do more.
On the way to the Royal Navy Headquarters, Dudgway called the commander of the U.S. forces in Britain and sent a group of officers who were good at communication from the U.S. forces in Britain to act as liaison officers. Arriving at the Royal Navy headquarters, Dudgway's first order was for the Royal Air Force to report on its readiness.
Anyway. Duki-chan's attitude and efficiency convinced Sandra.
What's more. Dudgway got to the point.
When the task force was arranged, the Royal Navy only dispatched two carrier battle groups, which shocked the outside world. Although many people believe that because the landing fleet and transport fleet are not ready, the Royal Navy left an aircraft carrier battle group to escort it, but the actual situation is not at all, the real problem lies with the Royal Air Force, because the Royal Air Force failed to complete the modification of the Miao fighter in time, so the Royal Navy had to leave an aircraft carrier battle group behind. In addition to the three aircraft carrier battle groups, the Royal Navy has other warships, which are sufficient to cover the landing fleet and transport fleet. In addition, the surface ships of the Argentine Navy have no chance to enter the North Atlantic, and it is difficult for electric submarines to operate in the North Atlantic due to the limited endurance of electric submarines, so it is difficult to pose a threat to the landing fleet and transport fleet going south, and there is no need to arrange escort forces for the landing fleet and transport fleet. According to the Royal Navy's deployment, only long-range patrol aircraft and anti-submarine patrol aircraft need to be deployed at several military bases along the route to ensure the safety of the landing fleet and transport fleet. Round reading the most chopped chapters, choose the tear book, throw the concave Peng complete
Dudgway didn't take aim at the Royal Navy, which made Sandra feel a little better.
After waiting for the Royal Air Force's reply, Dudgway convened a senior staff meeting at the Royal Navy Command.
The situation is not optimistic at all, the second batch of the Royal Air Force has only completed half of the initial refit work, and the remaining fighters will only be able to be put on board the ship at the earliest. In other words, if there are no unexpected circumstances, the "Revenge" aircraft carrier battle group can only rise at sunrise on the old moon at the earliest.
The first topic of the meeting was whether to wait until all of them were on board. The "Revenge" just came out of Petsmouth.
To Sandra's surprise, Dudgway was not arbitrary, and he had been listening carefully to the advice of his staff officer before making a decision. To know. The meeting was attended by senior staff officers of the Royal Navy, and Dudgway brought two secretaries and assistants; And didn't bring the Pentagon's staff officers. The tear book bar is less than the concave factory, Xia is chopped, and Xia is more
In fact, the key is also in this issue
If you don't wait for the last silt fighter, the "Revenge" can be out immediately. Of course, at this time, the "Revenge" did not have much combat power, and its ability to wield it was quite limited.
"Revenge, when the horn will come out, not only depends on when we can obtain complete combat effectiveness, but also depends on our operational deployment Du Qiwei will not speak until the end." Whether or not to adjust the deployment depends on the situation on the battlefield. With the Royal Marines disarming and surrendering, the tide of battle turned in our favor. I'm not blaming the Marines, in front of a strong enemy. The Marines performed very well. What I want to say is that the Falkland Islands have fallen, and the Afghan army has taken the opportunity to send a large number of supplies to the island. These situations are completely different from the predictions made when formulating the battle plan, so we have to adjust the battle plan. ”
Sandra didn't speak, and from the moment he returned to the Royal Navy Command, he knew that this was Dudgway's dance, not his lair.
Of course, Dudgway was still very polite to him.
When it comes to the Royal Marines, Dudgway is very careful, because the Royal Marines are not an independent unit, but a branch of the Royal Navy. Other words. Blaming the Royal Marines is tantamount to blaming the Royal Navy and making Sandra unable to step down.
"The point is, I don't know how to adjust the combat deployment." Duchway glanced at the officers attending the meeting, took two puffs, and said, "Because the situation has changed, the task force has been unable to prevent the Afghan army from seizing the Falkland Islands, and there is no way to recapture the Falkland Islands before the landing fleet arrives." According to the previous deployment, the task force will patrol the waters east of the Falkland Islands and bomb the Afghan forces on the island in preparation for the landing. However, before that, we ignored a very important issue, that is, the Afghan army has made great efforts to repair the airport in Port Stanley, and it is possible to deploy reconnaissance planes and fighters on Ukraine. As a result, even if the task force is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the Argentine mainland, it will be threatened by the Argentine Air Force. More importantly, sea and air supremacy must be seized before the landing begins. The Argentine Air Force cannot be evaded, and the challenge of the Argentine Air Force must be accepted. ”
Sandra's brow jumped a few times and she looked over to Dudgway.
It was clear that Dudgway's words surprised him a little. Although Sandra has reason to believe that the Dooch Festival will adjust the deployment in the Royal Navy. After all, if Du Qiwei does nothing, what is the point of serving as the prime minister's top military adviser? But hearing the last sentence, Sandra couldn't believe her ears, Tuxin Du Shouwei meant to sensationalize and challenge Agen Kuangkong to do this. The "Revenge" must be out immediately.
"My idea is that there is no need to wait for the Royal Air Force fighters." Revenge, the aircraft carrier battle group immediately out. Duchway also glanced at Sandra and said, "First of all, I have to admit that if we challenge the Argentine Air Force, combat losses will be inevitable." When the time comes, the needs of the front-line troops must be met first. That is, to supplement the losses of the other two aircraft carrier battle groups, and the surplus fighters were provided to the "Revenge, No
"The question is. If there are only two aircraft carrier battle groups
"General Sandra, it's not two, it's three.
Sandra hesitated for a moment and said, "There are not enough fighters," Revenge, the combat effectiveness of the ship will be very limited. The effect of being able to wave is also very limited. ”
"That's true. Fighter jets are a big problem, Dudgway smiled faintly and said, "Of course, from another point of view, it's not a big problem. ”
Sandra frowned slightly, and heard the sound of Dudgway's words.
"This is a secret agreement I made with the Pentagon before I got out." Dudgway handed Sandra the folder in front of him. said, "The original has been sent to the Prime Minister's Office, and as long as the Prime Minister signs it, the agreement will take effect." According to the agreement, your country only needs to provide the cost of the modification, and you can exchange the Royal Air Force's original for the US Navy's "only the number is different, but the performance is exactly the same." Once these fighters arrive in your country, they will be adjusted by the Royal Naval Air Force and will provide the necessary assistance, such as erasing the motive and fuselage numbers. Other words. If all goes well, the fighter of the Providence, Revenge, will arrive within ten days. With the phrase "Revenge. even if the whole goes south. Ten days later at most to Ascension Island. Hence the addition to "Revenge." The fighter jets took off directly from the mainland, before reaching Ascension Island. In addition to two mid-air refuelings, it will also land on a U.S. aircraft carrier that is patrolling the waters off the Yar Islands. That is, these fighters can all land on the "Revenge, the USS." Of course, if nothing else, the fighters that will be replenished to other carrier battle groups in the future will all go to Ascension Island in the same way. ”
After listening to Dudgway, Sandra reacted.
This is the influence of Dudgway, and with him in his hand, many problems that cannot be solved by the British authorities are not a problem.
The transfer of fighter planes is only a trivial matter, and with the help of the United States, the Royal Navy does not have to rely on the Royal Air Force, nor does it have to worry about the affairs of fighter jets. That is, even if the battle with the Argentine Air Force is a war of attrition in the outright, the Royal Navy has enough capital.
Pondered for a moment. Sandra said, "So, we have to arrange revenge as soon as possible." Cobalt. "The tear book bar throws off the concave factory and tells less, and there are many in it
"I've contacted the Petsmouth base, if all goes well," Revenge. It will depart before dawn. ”
At this point, Sandra looked even more surprised.
Although it is only a very short sentence, the sentence that comes out of Dudgway has several meanings. And it's all for Sandra. One is that Duchway has crossed Sandra to give orders to the combat units of the Royal Navy; There is no doubt that Du Qiwei has such courage, but he needs the support of the British high-level, that is, the prime minister. The second is not only acquiescing to Dudgway's behavior. He also solved many problems for Dudgway, such as giving orders directly from the old Downing Street to the home port of the British Royal Navy in Watts mouth and the "Revenge" aircraft carrier battle group. The third is that Duchway will not think too much about Sandra's situation, or tell Sandra not to affect his command through this move.
Thinking about these questions, Sandra's mood was extremely low.
The mother is undoubted. Duchway is a pound. An iron-fisted soldier will never compromise with anyone, no matter who he is, as long as he poses a threat, he will be eradicated.
For Sandra. That's not a good thing, because it means he's either finished or takes a back seat.
But for the Royal Navy, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
With such a tough commander, let alone forbidden, the Royal Navy will have all the resources it needs to win the war.
Think about it this way. Sandra felt a little better.
Anyway. He was the Commander of the Royal Navy, and his duty was to serve the Royal Navy.
Next. Duchway touched on specific issues. Knowing that she had no right to speak, Sandra did not express her opinion again. Those senior staff officers of the Royal Navy were not stupid either, knowing that Duchway had succeeded in seizing power. Therefore, when discussing issues, it is either to support Duchway or to remain silent.
Merely. To Sandra's bewilderment, Duchway didn't let the task force turn.
Other words. It is likely that Duchway will wait until the "Revenge" arrives at Ascension Island before concentrating his forces on the Argentine Air Force.
Is the Dooch Gala waiting for the old days?
This is also a question that Pei Chengyi must consider.
Of course, Pei Chengyi still has a lot to consider.
It's not dawn yet. The military intelligence agency received information that the aircraft carrier "Revenge" stationed in Fluttersmouth did not have fighters on the thug's deck, and it was impossible to determine how many fighters were on board. One thing is for sure. The first in the Royal Navy Air Station is said to have fallen. Other words. It is quite possible that the "Revenge" will go to the battlefield without fighters.
Pei Chengyi didn't dare to be careless. Zhang Xiaolong was immediately contacted, asking the Military Intelligence Agency to provide more accurate information as soon as possible, and attached great importance to the US move. The tear book bar throws off the concave coffee factory and tells less, Xia Chop, Xia more
That night, Pei Chengyi also received a message that the task force had not entered the ambush circle of the "Orca"-class submarine. That is, the task force must have changed course again. In this way, not to mention a few submarines, even the Military Intelligence Agency, which has hundreds of reconnaissance satellites, cannot determine the whereabouts of the task force.
Because according to the previous route of the task force, it would reach the sea area capable of striking the Falklands on the night of the month of the mouth of the month, and the Afghan troops on the Falklands were not bombed, so that night. Not only did Patos call to inquire about the situation. Even Theron called.
The Argentine president said nothing other than to express a certain concern about whether the task force would strike at the Argentine mainland. Round reading the most chopped chapters, choose the tear book, throw the concave Peng complete
After talking to Theron on the phone, Pei Chengyi received a call from Zhang Xiaolong. The MIA is already watching the covert operations of the United States. News soon followed. More importantly, the MIA agreed to the request of the Zingentin authorities to use valuable military satellites to build a "surveillance zone" in the South Atlantic to ensure the security of Argentina itself. In other words, as long as the task force enters this strip-shaped sea area that is as wide as the Ganga Sea, it will definitely be covered by reconnaissance satellites every two hours. In Zhang Xiaolong's words, this is not the meaning of the MIA, but the meaning of the above.
No need for Zhang Xiaolong to explain. Pei Chengyi knew that Theron must have called Yuan.
Theron's move is understandable. After all, the task force has been slow to show up, not to mention the close combat aircraft on the two aircraft carriers. Hundreds of cruise missiles aboard a near-force battleship can take out all of Argentina's top figures.
Who can guarantee that the Royal Navy will not jump over the wall?
Tomorrow morning, Pei Chengyi received the latest information from the Military Intelligence Bureau.
In addition to confirming that the task force is still operating in a certain area east of the Falklands, the military intelligence agency explicitly mentioned that the United States has reached a secret agreement with Britain to provide Britain with the most important combat equipment by exchanging Royal Air Force fighter jets for US Navy fighter jets.
Pei Chengyi's speculation was confirmed, and the Royal Navy would certainly not have been so active without direct support from the United States.
However, when discussing the war situation, the views of the staff officers were not unanimous.
Long Hongen and other staff officers of the "air force" believe that it is very likely that the Royal Navy will not challenge the Argentine Air Force before the "Revenge" aircraft carrier battle group arrives in the theater of operations, because after all, there are too few carrier-based planes on the two aircraft carriers, and there are only many fighters with fierce fighters, and even if they are all used to carry out air supremacy missions, they may not be able to withstand the Argentine Air Force's all-round attack. Therefore, the Royal Navy must want to buy time through this move, such as allowing the Argentine Air Force to devote more forces to the operation of the Task Force of Soso, and so on, so as to reduce the morale and fighting spirit of the Argentine Air Force. The real battle will take place between the ugly day of the moon and the 10,000th day of the moon. When the time comes, a decisive naval and air battle will determine who is final
Family.
Hu Jing'an's representative of the "naval faction." On the contrary, the Royal Navy believes that the Royal Navy will definitely take active action, and after the task force adjusts its course, it will still be on the Falklands after all, and will send carrier-based aircraft to bomb the Afghan troops on the island and paralyze the airfield. Lay the foundation for seizing air supremacy. Until the Revenge arrives, the task force will not engage the Argentine Air Force in a decisive battle, but will try to deplete the Argentine Air Force. According to Hu, this is also an opportunity to deplete the combat strength of the Royal Navy. Although the United States began to provide fighter jets to the United Kingdom, the Republic was able to provide fighter jets to Argentina. If it can be proved that the United States provided fighter jets to Britain, the Republic can do it a little more thoroughly. The best thing to do is not to rely on intelligence agencies, but to try to increase the Royal Navy's war losses, as long as the Royal Navy's replenishment exceeds its actual capabilities, it can be proved that the United States is secretly supplying the Royal Navy with fighter jets. There is no doubt that if it turns into a war of high attrition, it will certainly not be Britain that will win.
In response to these two views, Pei Chengyi does not support either side.
It doesn't matter if the Royal Navy will come to the door to challenge, what matters is whether it has the ability to thwart the Royal Navy.
For this reason, Pei Chengyi issued a combat mobilization order in the evening of the same day, requiring all combat units, including the ground forces, to enter a combat state.
Thus. Pei Chengyi agrees with Hu Jing'an's point of view, that is, the Royal Navy will not wait for the day of the Liyue knife to act.
That same evening. The Argentine Air Force sent the first batch of eight long-range maritime patrol aircraft to the Falklands.
In fact, it was not a real patrol aircraft, but an improvement from the Argentine Air Force's executive aircraft. Retrofitting is not complicated. The main thing is to install a radar on the sea.
What makes Pei Chengyi even happier is. Because the task force was delayed in arriving, the supplies delivered to the island were much more than planned. So after the airfield was repaired, there were enough supplies to build a water dock, or to build a stronger defensive position for the ground forces on the island.
There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi chose the former.
In his opinion. If the ownership of the Falklands is really decided through ground battles, then Argentina will not be far from defeat.
Compared to defensive positions. The value of the seaplane dock is much higher.
