Chapter 49: A Change of Heart

The Angolan government has just formed a task force in Fubo. The enthusiasm of the international gaming organization cannot be compared with the East China Sea War years ago, but in the case of active action by both warring parties, several betting organizations still opened the handicap.

Pei Chengyi doesn't have much interest in gambling, it's just that he wants to know the end result more than anyone else.

In the evening of the ugly day, Pei Chengyi found Hua Jianfeng again.

Although the Argentine fleet from Mar del Plata will not enter the war zone until the morning of the next day at the earliest, Britain has not demarcated the area of engagement as it did many years ago, and the so-called "war zone" refers to the four-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, but according to Hua Jianfeng's judgment, if the British want to give Argentina a dismount and win back the game, they should take active and decisive action and take the initiative to ambush the Argentine fleet that entered the high seas. Because the Argentine fleet would sail some distance south, reaching the sea south of the southern latitude and then turning into the open sea, the ambush was likely to start between the old point of the ugly day and the 6 minutes of the flying day.

"If tonight is fine, we'll have to think of something else."

"Do you think we'll be fine? Pei Chengyi glanced at Hua Jianfeng. His eyes returned to the electronic map in front of him, "This is the route map given to you by the Argentine military?"

"Yes. Came in the morning. ”

Pei Chengyi touched his chin. I took a closer look.

Although as an army general. Pei Chengyi doesn't know much about navigation, but he has been a staff officer for many years and has also received high-level training as a thug. There is some relevant knowledge, not nothing.

After looking at it for a while, Pei Chengyi raised his head and asked Hua Jianfeng, who was patiently waiting on the side, "What do you think?" ”

"What do you think?" Hua Jianfeng is very patient, after all, he has worked on submarines for several years, and if he is not patient, he cannot become the most outstanding submarine in the history of the Republic.

Pei Chengyi glanced at the horizontally placed projection screen. He picked up the teacup he had at hand.

"The route of the transport fleet?"

"Deliberately chose a more tortuous route. It can't be without a reason, right? ”

Thug: "You say this?" Hua Jianfeng smiled and said, "Of course there is a reason, and it is very interesting." ”

Pei Chengyi didn't interject, he didn't have much say in this regard.

Beaters "at the beginning. I also think that the Afghan army wants to reduce the risk of being ambushed. Hua Jianfeng took out a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs, and said, "On the surface, this is indeed possible, after all, most of this route is in Argentina's territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, although Britain has launched a military mobilization, and the government has vowed to recover the Falklands." But compared to the last war more than half a century ago. The attitude of the British was noticeably much softer, and it was unlikely that they would have dealt with the "General Belgrano," as they had done with the "General Belgrano." Ambush the Argentine flotilla across the border. Merely. A closer look shows that this route did not reduce the risk of an ambush, but rather helped the British submarine make the decision to ambush

What do you mean?

"The fleet goes this way. British submarines don't have to worry about choosing an ambush site. Because he didn't choose Hua Jianfeng smiled coldly and said, "Imagine if the Argentine fleet comes out of Mar del Plata." Go straight south. Enter the open sea as quickly as possible. How much trouble will British submarines have? You know, on the two routes from the mouth of the RΓ­o de la Plata to the Cape of Good Hope and the Strait of Magellan, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of ships passing every day. As long as the Argentine fleet enters the international route. With the few submarines of the British Navy, it is definitely not easy to find a fleet of only five fast freighters and three escort warships. Of course. It's not that the Argentine fleet can't be found. If you're looking for it, you'll be able to find it. The point is that Argentina sent fast cargo ships with a cruising degree of twenty-four knots, and the submarines of the British Navy could not always maintain the same degree of navigation. Other words. The thugs had to determine the whereabouts of the flotilla in advance. submarines can choose the best place for ambush. As a result, the timely determination of the course of the Argentine fleet became a top priority. According to my combat experience, as long as the Argentine fleet makes full use of the ships of other countries on international routes. It will definitely be able to approach the Falklands. ”

I love ugliness

Fighters are not needed to escort warships at all. ”

correct

"Of course not." Hua Jianfeng extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "If this happens, the best choice for the British submarine is to shrink the defensive range, adopt the tactic of waiting for the rabbit, and wait for the fleet to take the initiative to come to the door near the Falklands and even outside the port of Argentina." Although it is possible that the ambush will be besieged by the Argentine anti-submarine patrol planes after the ambush, with the performance of the British submarine, as long as it grasps the opportunity and makes full use of the complex environment around the Falklands, it will definitely be able to escape. ”

Pei Chengyi smiled. said, "Then what do you mean?"

Thugs according to my judgment. The Argentine fleet chose this tortuous route, in addition to sending cargo to the Falklands, and wanted to take the opportunity to take out the British submarines that were in the way.

Hitter: "Is this possible?" ”

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's take a look at the situation of Ah Jun, Hua Jianfeng lit the second cigarette, and it seemed that he was also energetic. "Everyone knows that Argentina must occupy the Falklands before the arrival of the British task force, that is, annihilate the British garrison on the island. Although the Afghan army has made significant progress today, the Falklands of today are not the Falklands of half a century ago. The British army suffered a loss once, and will not suffer a second loss. I am not an army general, but I am sure that if we do not send heavy equipment to the Falklands as soon as possible, the Afghan army will soon suffer. ”

Pei Chengyi smiled and said that the so-called morale of Ran Yi "" "The so-called morale can be boosted, for the Ah army, which has not been tempered for more than 50 years, it is no problem to fight smoothly all the way. If you're really in trouble. I'm afraid the problem will be big Hua Jianfeng took two puffs of cigarette and said with a smile, "We can see such a simple question, and I believe that there is no reason why the British minister who lives in the old Downing Street or the American president who lives in the White House can't see it." If I were the British minister, I would command the navy. Intercept the Argentine fleet at any cost. ”

The same for the thugs. The President of Argentina and the Chief of Staff of the Argentine Navy also understand this truth

"That's exactly the case, so the Argentine Navy wants to take advantage of this opportunity Hua Jianfeng smiled and said, "Looking at the route of the Argentine fleet, you can see that British submarines can only set up ambushes north of the Falklands, two hundred and eighty to one hundred and twenty kilometers away from the SeverdΓ©s Islands northwest of Bow Islands, which belong to the Falklands. If it is farther, it will enter the main search range of the Afghan army's shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and if it is closer. will enter shallow waters. The mother is undoubted. The Argentine army knows better than us the natural environment near the Falklands, as long as the staff officers of the Argentine Navy are not all idiots. The same conclusion should be drawn. Judging by this. The Argentine Navy wanted to take this opportunity to take out the British submariners

Pei Chengyi smiled. There was no rush to speak.

"If you think about it, you really want to kill those British submarines, let alone win a big victory, if you can take out one or two British submarines and force the British Navy to withdraw the other submarines." How much benefit can Argentina get?

What are the benefits of thugs? Pei Chengyi asked deliberately.

"Don't understand?".

%, a ganwan

Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head.

Thug: "Come on, you're really pretending to be stupid." ”

"It's not pretending to be stupid, sometimes. Listening to others say it makes it feel more real. ”

Hua Jianfeng also smiled and shook his head. "There is no doubt that as long as this victory is achieved, the Argentine authorities will be able to justifiably let us watch the show," he said. I am not overestimating the combat effectiveness of the Afghan army. Rather, it is said matter-of-factly. The ideal weapon against submarines is not anti-submarine warfare ships and anti-submarine patrols, but the submarines themselves, and if the Argentine Navy can take out British submarines, it will also have the ability to pose a lethal threat to the British task force, and even be able to take out several aircraft carriers in an ambush. At this point, with or without our help, Argentina will be able to force Britain to accept a fait accompli. ”

The question is, is this possible? ”

"Not for nothing. It's just not big. Hua Jianfeng lit the third cigarette and said. If it's up to me to deploy this battle. Surely before that, before the outbreak of war, to be exact. At least two submarines are deployed in this sea area. If possible, it would be better to deploy four submarines

"It's obvious. It's not you deploying. ”

Hua Jianfeng smiled bitterly. "Indeed, as far as I know, until the fleet leaves Mar del Plata," he said. None of the Argentine Navy has deployed submarines to the area. Perhaps this is not the case, after all, the Argentine Navy could not be unprepared for such a major campaign operation, and even if it failed to make an accurate judgment of the war situation, it should have sent submarines to the sea area after the war. It's a pity. The British Navy is not a vegetarian. Won't get into your opponent's trap without any preparation. To put it simply, this trap of the Argentine Navy is not clever. Anyone with a little brains and a little practical experience can see through it.

What's more, the performance of British submarines was very advanced, even if it was a hindsight. There are also good odds of winning

The thug "can't steal chickens, but a handful of rice."

"That's pretty much what happened

"Looks. We have to wait until dawn Pei Chengyi glanced at his watch and said. The thugs let people make a pot of strong tea. We wait patiently for the latest news. ”

I love the present heart,

"There are thugs who, in your opinion, would have done the Argentine authorities if the outcome was diametrically opposite to what the Argentine Navy had hoped?"

"It seems to me," Hua Jianfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Besides. I didn't have much contact with the Argentine authorities. The level of knowledge about the Argentine authorities is much inferior

Thug: "Let's talk about it casually, Pei Chengyi didn't mean to let Hua Jianfeng go." said, "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." I'm not much of a bureaucracy, but I've been in Argentina for so long, and I've been affected a little bit. As you said. You've only been here for a short time, you've not been infected yet, and you're a real bystander, so your opinion is more valuable. ”

Hua Jianfeng smiled, didn't argue with Pei Chengyi, thought for a while, and said: "If it's really as you said, I think the first person who can't sit still is the Argentine president." Of course, Teresescu was certainly in a hurry more than anyone, but as a military man. He doesn't have to bear the political consequences. Besides. It doesn't matter who is in power. are inseparable from the support of the military. In this way, as long as the defeat is revealed. The most urgent is definitely Theron

"It's true, and the key is, what Theron will do

Needless to say, it will definitely make trouble for us Hua Scraping smiled bitterly and said, "To put it mildly." Because we didn't actively cooperate, even if you stabbed the British in the back according to your arrangement, Theron would come to Yuan and sue us. ”

Pei Chengyi laughed, his expression was far less nervous than Hua Jianfeng.

"There's nothing to worry about, anyway, Yuan asked us to come over, and he wouldn't do anything to us

"There's really no need to worry, it's a question of whether Theron can contact Yuan." ”

When Pei Chengyi said this, Hua Jianfeng also laughed. The reason is simple. Yuan had already handed over matters related to the Falklands conflict to Li Cunxun. And Li Cunxun put Liu Yi again

The horn was dispatched. Even if Theron can contact Hu Yuanqing, it will not be Wang Sujia's turn to reprimand Pei Chengyi and others, at most, through Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi and others will take the Falklands conflict seriously. Take practical actions to solve problems for the Argentine authorities.

"How are you going to deal with it?"

"Cope?"

"Someone else is coming to the door, it must mean something, right?"

"I don't want to deal with it." Pei Chengyi let out a long breath and said, "You were right at the beginning, you really want to show your defeat." Theron would be more anxious than anyone else. However, we cannot perfunctory the Argentine president with a coping attitude. What you mentioned the other day, I thought about it carefully. I have to say you're right. After talking to Lao Li. I was thinking. If everyone has a vindictive mentality, there is no point in staying. Face the problem. It's about solving the problem. To solve the problem. You have to show sincerity. While Theron has disappointed us so far, there is reason to believe that in the face of a dismal ending. As a politician, Theron will certainly be able to make a wise choice. Neither the Argentine authorities, nor us. This is an opportunity to abandon past suspicions and cooperate sincerely, and it is also a win-win opportunity. If we hold on to the idea of coping. I'm afraid it can only make the British happy. Besides. There are hundreds of brothers on that bird who don't on the battlefield that have followed us on the battlefield, if not for Argentina, but for our warriors. ”

I love to be tamed

"So to speak. Have you figured it out? ”

% corpses

"What's not to figure out?" Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Although I am not fighting for my motherland and my compatriots, I am not here to provoke anger, let alone a group of strangers who have no grievances and no hatred." At least for the foreseeable future, our enemy is the United States, and Britain is an ally of the United States. So also our enemy. No matter what. You must not do things that relatives hate and enemies are happy, right? ”

Hua Jianfeng nodded with a smile and said, "You have such an idea, it seems that the British are going to be unlucky." ”

"I hope so."

At this time, an agent from the Military Intelligence Agency came over and handed the war report he had just received to Hua Jianfeng.

After a glance, Hua Jianfeng handed the message to Pei Chengyi. "As you expected, the outcome is diametrically opposed to what the Argentine authorities had hoped for."

Pei Chengyi's brows jumped a few times, and he read the message quickly.

Argentina time was about 2 a.m. that day. Less than an hour after the Falklands War broke out, a convoy of convoys heading from Mar del Plata to Port Argentina was ambushed by British submarines about a kilometer north of the Falklands. During the battle, the escort battleship and the armpit freighter were all sunk, and the British losses were unknown.

Not much content. But deep enough.

Because this is intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, there is no mention of the loss of the Argentine submarine.

About half an hour later. The MIA sent a second piece of information.

Argentina lost not only all surface ships, but also broken electric submarines. What's more, when the battle starts. The Afghan escort ships were attacked first. And the first to be finished is the submarine of the Afghan army. There was no indication of damage to the British submarine. In order to arouse Pei Chengyi's attention, the Military Intelligence Bureau clearly mentioned in the summary that the source is reliable, and unless the Afghan anti-submarine patrol plane can make some gains, the British Navy will fight an extremely beautiful turnaround battle and wash away the shame of being raided by the Afghan army in one fell swoop.

Is there a gain from the anti-submarine patrol opportunities of the Afghan army?

Don't bother Pei Chengyi. In Hua Jianfeng's words, when the Argentine anti-submarine patrol plane arrived, the British submarine had already fled hundreds of nautical miles away by virtue of the maximum diving degree of the approaching knot, and even if the Argentine anti-submarine patrol plane was faster, it would not be possible to find the submarine in the vast sea. What's more. To date, anti-submarine patrol aircraft have never sunk an attack submarine with the largest submarine.

Pei Chengyi can doubt others, but he will never doubt Hua Jianfeng.

It's just that Pei Chengyi didn't rush to leave, because more important things were still to come.

According to his arrangement. Hua Jianfeng had already issued a combat order to the captain of the "Sailfish"-class electric submarine that had entered the waters of the South Atlantic Ocean in advance. Although Pei Chengyi did not say it too explicitly, Hua Jianfeng did not give the same vague order to the three captains. Follow his orders. As long as the British submarines took the initiative to attack the Argentine flotilla. It was necessary to strike a fatal blow to the British submarine immediately.

Very clear battle order.

Because the British submarines did not all rush to the ambush area, the three "Sailfish" class must have reached the area of engagement.

In Hua Jianfeng's words, if you can't receive the news before dawn, you have to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

If a report of the battle is received soon, it will indicate that Operation Yellow Sparrow has won a great victory. Not only successfully ambushed the British submarine. Also sank the tank British submarine, because only in this case did the republican submarine participating in the war dare to rise to periscope depth, with laser directed communication equipment to make a good report. If information is not received until after dawn, it is an indication that things are not going well. Failed to ambush the British submarines, at least not all of them, but the Republic submarines that participated in the war did not reveal their identities, otherwise they would not have communicated with the rear in the vicinity of the warring waters. If you wait a day or two to receive the message. This would indicate that the ambush failed, but at least one of the thugs escaped with submarines. If there is no news after waiting for several days, it means that Operation Fufeng has completely failed, and all the submarines of the Republic participating in the war have been destroyed.

Pei Chengyi definitely didn't want to wait until dawn to receive the news, let alone wait for several days.
