The British task force will have to come out of Watts Mouth sooner or later, so Pei Chengyi doesn't care. [Full text reading]

Sunrise in the evening. Bae Chengyi returned to the Argentine Navy Command.

Dozens of agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau were busy all day, and finally cleared a few rooms for the military advisory group led by Pei Chengyi that could be used with peace of mind, and built confidential communication equipment.

After dinner, Pei Chengyi went to the conference room. let the communications staff contact Hua Jianfeng, Dongfang Wen, Hu Jingan and others.

"How are the preparations for the fleet progressing?" Pei Chengyi first threw the question to Dongfang Wen, who was in Mar del Plata.

"Nothing has gone well, the last bulk carrier will arrive in four hours, and the loading will be completed before dawn. All the best. The flotilla will leave port tomorrow morning

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and said, "Is there anything that doesn't go well?"

On the screen, Dongfang Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Overall, there is no big problem, the main thing is that the port's throughput capacity is limited, and the loading work may not be completed on time." ”

"Limited throughput capacity?. Pei Chengyi sneered and said, "Have you ever looked for a liaison officer from the Argentine Navy?" ”

I've looked for it. We are discussing.

"Keep an eye on that side. I'll contact the Chief of Staff of the Argentine Navy later. In any case, the flotilla must anchor tomorrow morning. It must not be delayed until tomorrow afternoon

Thug: "I do my best. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded towards Dongfang Wen. Turning his gaze to Hu Jing'an, he said, "How is the situation over there?"

The thugs "are actively organizing speedboats, and already eleven speedboats have arrived." A dozen or so speedboats are expected to arrive by tomorrow evening

"Only so much?"

Thugs "There are only so many. ”

Pei Chengyi let out a long sigh. There was no rush to speak.

Sending Hu Jing'an to Rio Gallegos to form a "speedboat fleet" has long been decided, and there is no way to do it. Or rather, Pei Chengyi doesn't trust the Argentine Navy very much. According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, Argentina has hundreds of speedboats with a displacement between summons and thugs, all of which can be used to transport combat personnel and bulk supplies, and most of them can be used to transport heavy equipment and complete supplies after simple modifications. Because the degree of these speedboats is above the Tianjie, and some even have passed the Naijie, as long as these speedboats can be requisitioned, the shipping problem can be solved.

At the beginning, Pei Chengyi did not want to meddle in Argentina's internal affairs, and only went to the Argentine Navy to put pressure on him, hoping to complete the mobilization work as soon as possible. It was not until he received the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau that Pei Chengyi changed his mind and decided to use the power of life and death given by Theron to personally take charge of the mobilization work. and sent Hu Jing'an over. In fact, the Argentine Navy made the wrong choice from the very beginning. The problem is not the navy, but the navy's inability to use Argentina's national strength without scruples like Pei Chengyi. To put it simply, the speedboats that Pei Chengyi is eyeing belong to the people in power in Argentina, and they only hum the luxury yachts that only powerful and powerful people can afford to play with thugs, and they want to requisition yachts from these big people, not to mention that the chief of staff of the Argentine Navy does not have the guts, and even Theron has to think twice. Let Pei Chengyi do it. It's not a question of which big guy to offend, first of all, Pei Chengyi doesn't need to worry about offending which big guy, and secondly, no big guy is willing to offend Pei Chengyi's mouth Standing in Theron's position, Pei Chengyi came forward. No matter what the trouble is, the blame can be put on Pei Chengyi, and after the war is over, the president will come forward to solve the problem.

Pei Chengyi is not stupid, and he can see Therlon's thoughts at a glance.

It is precisely like this, after getting the power granted by Theron, Pei Chengyi has no reason to be polite.

Tug: "I asked the MIA to provide more accurate information as soon as possible, what else do you need from there?" ”

"The main thing is that there are not enough people, and there is not much convincing."

"Persuasion?. Pei Chengshu frowned slightly, and then laughed. said, "In that case." I'll ask the MIA to send someone over and help you out

"It's better to be prepared

"It's a matter for the MIA. They will be prepared, Pei Chengyi paused slightly. Turnaround said. In any case, the thugs must prepare thirty speedboats tomorrow evening to send the first batch of fighters and supplies. If you can't get enough speedboats, let the prepared speedboats go out in time

Thug "No problem, I'll deal with it quickly."

Pei Chengyi nodded and turned his gaze to Yang Shaoyong on the other screen.

"The situation is even worse than we expected, Yang Shaoyong can be regarded as Pei Chengyi's old subordinate, and he doesn't have anything to worry about. Say it directly. "When I arrived at the Falklands, I spent several hours visiting all levels of combat units of the Afghan army. As we feared, because of the lack of heavy weapons and ammunition, the Afghan officers and soldiers were not in a hurry to attack, and did not even want to engage the British in the port area. While there is no indication that the Afghan army is losing the will to fight, we must consider the consequences of the continued deterioration of the situation, namely, whether the Afghan army will lose its fighting spirit because of the high number of combat casualties. ”

Hitters: "Casualties are not the key. Pei Chengyi reminded Yang Shaoyong.

"It's true, casualties are not the key, hopefully even more." Yang Shaoyong smiled bitterly and said, "According to my understanding, whether or not Argentina Port can be captured in time is related to the success or failure of the entire ground combat operation. Objectively speaking. The Argentine army must occupy Port Argentina as soon as possible. Otherwise, as the weather changes, it will be difficult for the Afghan army to gain a foothold on the island

Have you contacted Colonel Ruilin? ”

"Got in touch. I talked to him about it just now. Yang Shaoyong knew what Pei Chengyi was going to ask and said, "The situation of the regiment is ideal, the officers and soldiers are very high, and the living conditions are much better than those of the Albanian army, but according to the agreement." Jiebing's combat operation to attack the port area. As long as the Argentine authorities negotiated with Huaan, the corps could participate in the battle at any time. ”

"Not for the time being, in the words of Leap Ruilin, it would be nice to be able to send more fresh food."

Pei Chengyi smiled and said: "Supply is not a problem, relevant arrangements have been made." See Shining Boltin again. You remember to tell him that the legion should adjust its mentality as soon as possible, although this is not a war for the Republic, but it is also a war that the Republic cannot afford to lose. After the arrival of reinforcements, the Afghan army will storm the port area. We will urge the Argentine authorities to sign a new contract with Huaan. In any case, the main task of the Occupy Harbor Corps before the end of the month was to assist the Afghan army and ensure that the infrastructure in the port was not damaged by the British. ”

Thug: "I'll tell Scarlet Lin. Let them be ready as soon as possible

"You have to keep an eye on the Afghan army."

Yang Shaoyong nodded. I agreed.

Pei Chengyi took a sip of tea and turned his gaze to Long Hongen.

The thugs recommended the Genting Air Force has promised to cooperate fully with us and act according to our orders. Long Hongen smiled bitterly and said. Just can't be overly optimistic. We need shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft units stationed in other places, and if the Afghan army wants to do something, there is an opportunity. ”

"This is not the key, the main thing is that we have to use the aviation anti-submarine forces of the Zagentine Air Force.

"I think it's better to send people to the bases

Pei Chengyi pondered for a while and said: I will make arrangements for the thugs, your task is to keep an eye on the chief of staff of the Argentine Air Force. Keep an eye on his every move and keep a record of what he says and does. If we really want to tear our faces, we have to be prepared. If you can't produce evidence, no matter how beautiful it is, it's useless

"In that case, I would advise to speak to the Argentine authorities as soon as possible

"I know what to do, you just have to do your own thing." ”

Long Hongen knew Pei Chengyi's temper and didn't say anything more.

Pei Chengyi also knew what Long Hongen was worried about, but he didn't have a better solution.

Argentina's military establishment is very unique, and according to the relevant regulations, all fixed-wing combat aircraft belong to the Air Force. On the surface, this arrangement is correct, but in fact, it has had a great impact on Argentina's national defense. Not to mention anything else, because there is no clear distinction between the air force and naval aviation, the Argentine Navy has so far no intention of importing or building aircraft carriers. In fact, many years ago, the Argentine Navy proposed to introduce or design from abroad. Ji Ge, who is building aircraft carriers in China, "also hopes to take this opportunity to clear the line with the Air Force, first to form naval aviation on the basis of shore-based anti-submarine aviation, and then to form carrier-based aviation, so as to weaken the influence of the Air Force." Although this is a very good calculation, with Argentina's national strength, even if it is capable of maintaining a light aircraft carrier battle group. It doesn't make much sense either. In order to safeguard its national interests, Argentina needs at least a medium-sized aircraft carrier battle group, and Argentina's domestic resources are not enough to support a medium-sized aircraft carrier battle group, but the Argentine Navy's motive is not to build an aircraft carrier battle group, but to obtain real naval fighters, especially shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

After many years of repeated success, the Argentine Navy still failed to outcompete the Air Force.

Although Argentina only has the old anti-submarine patrol aircraft that are imported from the Republic, they are used as carrier aircraft by small thugs, and are specially aimed at "multi-purpose anti-submarine patrol aircraft" such as Argentina, which have a long coastline and vast territorial waters to guard, and cannot afford to buy expensive large anti-submarine patrol aircraft. "Officially numbered for the mouth" in the old years. It has sold many anti-submarine patrol planes in many countries, including Argentina and Chile, and has become the most popular anti-submarine patrol aircraft in the international market. In particular, the capacity to operate in the South Atlantic is not strong in terms of size or strength. But in specific cases. This anti-submarine patrol aircraft can play a very important role. Don't say anything else. The British Navy did not follow the trend of the times, and did not equip its submarines with submarine-launched anti-aircraft missiles like many third-world countries due to the limitations of detection, tracking, and guidance technology, and the submarine-launched anti-aircraft missiles have not performed amazingly on the battlefield so far, let alone achieved convincing results, so the naval powers, including the Republic and the United States, have not rushed to promote them. It is even more discouraged to have a direct confrontation with the anti-submarine forces of aviation in battle. Other words. In the face of anti-submarine patrol aircraft, the ideal option for a submarine is not to counterattack, but to hide its whereabouts. In order to avoid anti-submarine patrol aircraft, any submarine commander will have some concerns when making tactical decisions, such as occupying ambush positions, withdrawing from combat areas, and maneuvering and standby. As long as we make rational use of anti-submarine patrol planes, we will be able to play a key role at critical times.

To take advantage of Argentine anti-submarine patrol aircraft. It is necessary to deal with the chief of staff of the Argentine Air Force, Alfonso.

Pei Chengyi has already asked Long Hongen to hold Theron's "Presidential Order." went to the Argentine Air Force Command and personally called Alfonso, although the Argentine Air Force Chief of Staff did not embarrass Pei Chengyi, but it does not mean that a small lieutenant colonel officer will be called for wind and rain in the Argentine Air Force Command.

I thought about it for a while. Pei Chengyi knows. This matter must be implemented more urgently.

After letting the staff officer next to him make key notes, Pei Chengyi turned his gaze to the last participant.

"In the afternoon, I received the latest information from the Military Intelligence Agency, and the British submarine did not follow the task force out of China, Jianfeng lit a cigarette and said." It is a pity that Lie: Eryun could not be sure that the British submarine would go according to my proposal, and Jun: Eryun was connected to the Russian intelligence department and proposed to exchange the information of Russian interest for the deployment of British naval submarines, but nothing was gained

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Hua Jianfeng meant.

Although the republic has the second largest navy in the world and the most powerful underwater fleet. However, due to geographical conditions, the Republic seldom sent submarines to the Atlantic, especially the North Atlantic, and only sent thug submarines to the North Atlantic shortly after the end of the Indian War, that is, at the beginning of the year, and its main task was not combat readiness patrols. Instead, they use special equipment to map the seabed and find suitable submarines, so as to help send submarines to the North Atlantic on regular combat readiness patrol missions in the future.

Influenced by this, the republic has some kind of secret relationship with Russia.

To put it simply, the Republic exchanges information on U.S. submarine deployments in the Pacific for information on U.S. submarine deployments in the Atlantic Ocean, which Russia has. Although Britain is not involved, according to the agreement between the two sides, Britain's strategic forces are linked to the United States, so Russia will also provide information on the activities of British strategic submarines on time, and as compensation, the Republic will provide information on the deployment of underwater forces of the US allies in the Asia-Pacific region.

Thug "According to my judgment, the British submarine has long been in the area of engagement. Perhaps already in a hurry to see the ambush sea. Unlike the last engagement. British submarines will definitely not use the simplest ambush tactics, and it is quite possible to take the initiative

What do you mean by "thug"? Pei Chengyi interjected and asked.

"It also went to the "no-sail zone" set by the British, and intercepted the Argentine fleet in the waters outside it

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, and motioned for Hua Jianfeng to continue.

"Although this will make Britain backtrack, but compared to a few submarines and the final victory. It wasn't anything at all, Hua Jianfeng smiled coldly and said, "Don't forget." The British Navy had already lost four submarines in previous battles, and although the Argentine Navy also lost four submarines, the main enemy of the British Navy was not the Argentine Navy. Not even those submarines of the Argentine Navy.

If I had been in command of the British submarines, I would have been more proactive. Never play according to the rules. In only eight submarines can be mobilized. With two more strategic submarines left to cover, the British Navy had no choice but to intercept the Argentine convoy while ensuring the safety of the submarines as much as possible

"In other words, the British Navy's task is to keep a few submarines going south?"

Hitters" without a doubt. In the event of further losses, the anti-perimeter of the task force will be vulnerable. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly and said: "In this way, the most important thing to care about is not whether the fleet can reach the Falklands, but whether the British submarine will arrive as scheduled."

Hitter: "Come is bound to come." It's just that it may not be according to our ideas Hua Jianfeng smiled and said, "The news has been revealed, and the British Navy has to estimate the exact time when the manta whale arrived in the South Atlantic, in addition to assessing the reliability of the intelligence." As long as the British Navy does not take the bragged cowhide seriously. Realistically facing the huge gap between the "fast, class" and the "manta whale", you will be very sensible and avoid fighting the "bats" before the arrival of the task force, at least not the "bats". The surprise attack of the number

Pei Chengyi smiled and said: "The problem is that the British Navy must not allow the convoy to reach the Argentine port

"It is true, the British authorities are well aware of the situation in the Falklands, and even more aware of the importance of replenishing troops and supplies. ”

"In that case, the British authorities will have to find a way to resolve this contradiction."

Thug: "You mean, Hua Jianfeng didn't continue to express his opinion.

The British submarine will definitely make a move, at least to the best Pei Chengyi paused for a while and said, "In order to reduce the combat risk of the submarine force, the British authorities will try to distract us and make us make wrong judgments in addition to trying to verify the reliability of the information." ”

Hua Jianfeng nodded, indicating that he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

"Intelligence secrecy is a matter for the Military Intelligence Agency, and we don't have much to laugh at Pei Chengyi sighed and said, "I have decided that it is very likely that the British authorities will follow the practice of the last war and send long-range fighters to bomb the Afghan troops on the Falklands before the arrival of the task force and in the name of complying with the demands of the people." The key is the political significance of this move. ”

Hua Jianfeng pondered for a while and said, "There is indeed such a possibility, and if the British authorities want to do this, they have to hurry up, instead of waiting until the eve of the arrival of the task force to take action." Hatchet man.

"So we have to be careful

Thug: "The key is not us. Rather, it is the Argentine authorities. Hua Jianfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "It is very likely that Britain will use this to influence the Argentine authorities, hoping to make the Argentine authorities make a wrong judgment in order to relieve the pressure on the defenders of the Falklands and reduce the pressure on the British government."

"Looks like we've got one thing in mind

"What are you going to do with it?"

"In a sense. The British authorities have helped us a lot by doing so, haven't they?

Hua Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi has taken into account all the possible things. And countermeasures have been prepared for a long time.
