※Wait for Dongfang Wen to introduce the situation. Pei Chengyi took the cigarettes that had been prepared a long time ago

Although he never objected to others smoking, because he quit smoking, a group of his subordinates formed a habit. That is, without explicit permission, never smoke in front of Pei Chengyi. The problem is that Pei Chengyi can't always say, "Please smoke everyone" or "Everyone smoke casually", so he will prepare a pack of cigarettes for every meeting, and taking out cigarettes is to let everyone feel free, and it has become an unwritten rule over time.

"The situation has been made clear." Pei Chengyi glanced at everyone and said, "Before discussing specific tactics, I want to emphasize one more point. Before the meeting, I contacted the Military Intelligence Agency, and if all went well, within two days the Military Intelligence Agency would spread the news that the Republic was sending submarines to the South Atlantic. In other words, there are great variables in this combat operation, and in addition to the fact that British submarines will be more cautious, it is very likely to attract the secret intervention of the United States. We have to be prepared. When making a battle plan, you have to take into account all kinds of unexpected situations that may arise. ”

"There is not very much chance that the United States will be directly involved."

Hearing Hua Jianfeng suddenly speak, Pei Chengyi turned his gaze.

"The point is. Will the CIA reveal anything related to "batscales." No.? ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and asked, "Is this important?"

"Obviously. Very important. Hua Jianfeng let out a long breath and said, "It can be said that the information that is in charge of the bat is top-secret information, and it can even be said that what we know is the information that has been processed. ”

"Lao Hua. You wouldn't be an outsider too, would you? ”

Hua Jianfeng glanced at Dongfang and said with a smile: "What do you say? ”

Dongfang Wen didn't say anything, Hua Jianfeng's answer was enough.

"Let's put it this way, as I understand it, the General Staff is willing to send the "manta whales, and in addition to the fact that there is no better choice, it also has a lot to do with the Military Intelligence Agency. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In fact;" Manta trivia. Very similar to the Swordfish, it was an attack submarine of a highly experimental nature. ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and listened carefully.

Because the existence of the "Swordfish" is no longer a secret, as the relevant information is gradually declassified, Hua Jianfeng, who is the captain of the "Swordfish", is also famous. To be precise, it is because of Hua Jianfeng's sudden emergence in the navy that the "Swordfish" has attracted much attention. Although the Republic has never admitted that the "Swordfish" sank the nuclear submarine and aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy in the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, in the information that has been made public, the Government of the Republic has disguised the important role of the "Swordfish" in the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War and the East China Sea War.

The other officers also knew about these things, so when Hua Jianfeng mentioned the "Swordfish", they all concentrated their attention.

"Ten years ago, we were in trouble with the United States." Hua Jianfeng lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "Although the normal temperature guide technology has greatly improved the performance of the submarine, especially the wide application of advanced power technologies such as composite batteries and guide motors, so that the performance of the submarine has reached a height that can not be imagined in the past, but the propulsion technology closely related to the performance of the submarine has not made substantial progress, or the application of room temperature guide technology is not thorough. ”

"Cuttlefish, it's just a simple test submarine, right?"

"Yes, that's exactly what happened, that's why the status of the cuttlefish, the number is very important." You must know that almost all of the most famous submarines in the history of modern submarines are simply test submarines, such as the "Big Mackerel" of the US Navy. Number. Hua Jianfeng glanced at Yang Shaoyong, who was asking, and then said, "Actually, it's beating cuttlefish." Previously, we had already used magnetohydrodynamic propulsion on the "Orca," class attack submarines, otherwise we would not have used the "Flounder" type. It's just that the magnetofluid propulsion device used in the "killer whale" stage is still in the experimental stage and can only be used at low cruising. And the trouble-free continuous group will not take more than 100 hours. There is no doubt that such a propulsion system is not at all practical. In order to get a full-fledged magnetohydrodynamic propulsion device as soon as possible. The Navy built the "Cuttlefish, No. ”

"We're certainly not the only ones who are interested in new propulsion technologies."

"That's exactly what the United States is more interested in than we are." Hua Jianfeng smiled and said, "As we all know. After entering the electric era, the performance of our submarines has surpassed that of American submarines, and our country is greatly ahead in many related technologies, such as composite batteries, conductive motors, high-strength alloys, etc. The United States has an advantage only in traditional fields such as electronics, fluid mechanics, hydroacoustics, etc. Although we have not had a large-scale naval conflict with the United States, our submarines have repeatedly fought with American submarines in the unknown deep sea. What's more. Until now, we have an undefeated record in the contest with American submarines. For the United States, the only way to turn the tide is to make breakthroughs in key technologies that can have a decisive impact on submarine performance, and to put them into practical use before we do. You believe that Britain, which is not even in the top 10 in terms of comprehensive national strength, has the ability to take the lead in building a smart fluid-propelled submarine

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

Hua Jianfeng extinguished the cigarette butt, smiled coldly, and said: "Don't say that the people in the Military Intelligence Agency don't believe it, when I first saw the news, I concluded that the United States was quietly helping Britain, or that the shrewd Americans came up with some unreliable technology and asked the British government to spend tens of billions to buy a lesson for the U.S. Navy." Not to mention anything else, "Soon, the class has been in service for several years, and the U.S. Navy has not built a submarine, indicating that the U.S. and Britain's end-to-end fluid deference technology is not enough to be completed." Back at the submarine base, we'll be able to know "Quick." level of specifics. Judging by the current situation. "Quick. There must be a lot of problems with the level, otherwise it would not be on par with the "Sailfish, level" who has lagged behind for more than ten years in the battle. ”

"According to you. The U.S. Navy is definitely watching our progress. ”

"That's true, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it so seriously." Hua Jianfeng lit the second cigarette and said to Pei Chengyi. "As early as the war in India, the United States tried every means to spy on" killer whales. The war was just the way the war unfolded as everyone expected, and the war ended before the U.S. intelligence agencies could take action. Relatively speaking, the US Navy is more concerned about the situation of the "cuttlefish, the USS." It's a pity that for so many years, "cuttlefish." The captain is looking forward to the Bohai Bay, even if he goes to other seas. It is also a call from front to back, and it will not act alone, so it will not give the US Navy any chance. Imagine if we knew that we put the most advanced "bats." Even if the whole family is not mobilized, the US Navy will send several of the most advanced submarines over. ”

After hearing Hua Jianfeng's words, several officers showed shocked looks.

"In other words, if we don't get it right, we'll have to fight the U.S. Navy." Hua Jianfeng glanced at Pei Chengyi and said. "Although this kind of back-and-forth contest is not unusual, even before we were born, the submarines of the US Navy competed with the last adversary in the depths of the ocean for decades, but this time is different, and the South Atlantic is not another sea area, if there is no Falklands conflict, we will make a mess here. Nothing too much trouble either. The problem now is that if you make too much trouble, the consequences are hard to imagine. ”

"We have concerns. The United States will also have concerns. Pei Chengyi put down the teacup and said, "It is undeniable that Lao Hua's analysis is reasonable, if it is really going to make a big fuss, we will all be unable to eat and walk around." The point is that the U.S. Navy will not be ignorant of the seriousness. What's more, when revealing relevant information, the military intelligence bureau will definitely have some concerns. ”

"What do you mean?" Hua Jianfeng made a gesture.

"If it's just two countries fighting over a desert island, is it necessary for us to send troops to the South Atlantic?" Pei Chengyi glanced at Hua Jianfeng and said, "In other words, when the Military Intelligence Bureau revealed that we sent submarines into the South Atlantic, it had to come up with a convincing reason." If it was ten years ago, or ten years later, maybe you don't need much of a reason. But now there has to be a good reason. Domestic reform is at a critical juncture, with the general election delayed, military reform fraught with difficulties, and the need to feed more than a billion Indians. These problems have limited the hands and feet of the republic, as well as our foreign policy. In other words, if the South Atlantic does not have a vital interest in the future of the nation, there is no reason for us to send the most advanced, if not the only submarine in the world. ”

Hua Jianfeng nodded slightly and said, "In this way, there is a harvest on the Falklands."

"It's really rewarding. But I don't know how. Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "This is not the most critical issue, it does not matter whether there is a gain or not, the important thing is that the Military Intelligence Agency will definitely release the relevant news to convince American decision-makers that the Republic will not give up Argentina easily." ”

"The question is, will it turn conflict into war?"

"It depends on how the United States chooses." Pei Chengyi let out a long breath. Said. "That's not something we should think about. Since the General Staff sent a submarine over, it shows that the above is very sure of this. ”

"Perhaps, this is a test of the United States." Dongfang Wen interjected.

Pei Chengyi smiled. said: "Don't talk about that, back to our topic." Judging by the current situation, "the manta whale will arrive in the early morning of the 27th, that is, we will have to arrange combat operations against the British submarine accordingly." As I told Theresescu, dealing with the British submarines was a secondary task, and the main task was to get reinforcements and war supplies to the island within two days. How's the talk going on in Patos, Oriental?

"What can I do?" Dongfang Wen smiled bitterly and said, "It's been a busy day, and I haven't even seen others." In the words of Adjutant Patos, if we were able to send reinforcements and war supplies as promised, they would guarantee to annihilate the remnants of the British army on the island by thirty days.

Hua Jianfeng sneered. "What guarantee does Patos have?" ”

"There's no need to compete with the Argentine Army." Pei Chengyi didn't talk to Hua Jianfeng and said, "According to my judgment." Even if we had sent the supplies and troops to the Falklands according to the calculations, it would have been difficult for the Afghan army to occupy the Falklands before the 30th, so we had to be prepared for the most likely scenario, that is, the Afghan army would not capture the entire Falklands in time, and the British task force would arrive in early May as planned. We must solve the problem for the Afghan army before then. ”

"Then you'll have to rely on that mercenary army from Huaan."

Pei Chengyi nodded at Yang Shaoyong and said, "This is one of them, and before that, we must convince Ah Jun, that is, we have to prove our strength."

"That is, to treat the secondary task as the main task?" Hua Jianfeng immediately heard what Pei Chengyi meant.

"The annihilation of British submarines is important, but not very important, and the task is still what I said at the beginning, and the sea route must be opened as soon as possible." Pei Chengyi let out a long breath and said, "Although in the long run, if you can take out a few British submarines at this time, and they are the most advanced submarines of the British Navy, then" Otter; The battle will be much easier, but weeping is not our war, the republicans and the direct involvement, the forces that can be deployed by us are very limited, if we put hope in a submarine, I am afraid we will all regret it. ”

Hua Jianfeng frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Pei Chengyi's opinion.

"In any case, we have made the most of all the advantages." When it comes to combat operations, Pei Chengyi never takes too much care of other people's feelings. "My idea is to make full use of the favorable conditions of our network Liu intervening in the Afghan army's operations, that is, the British authorities are not clear about the situation and think that it is the Afghan generals who are in charge of the operation. Specifically, it is to adopt the old method, still send a fleet of ships to the Falklands to transport troops and supplies, of course, eggs cannot be packed in one basket, and at the same time, according to our previous ideas, use a large number of fast ships to transport troops and materials to the Falklands, especially the vital heavy equipment. As long as the troops and supplies can be sent to the island, regardless of the performance of the Afghan army, it will not have much impact on the outcome. ”

"Then we'll have to reroute."

Pei Chengyi nodded, and said to Hua Jianfeng: "You are solely responsible for shipping work and anti-submarine warfare, and Dongfang Wen will provide assistance."

Hua Jianfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Although in his opinion, there is no need for Dongfang Wen to participate in naval combat operations, but according to Pei Chengyi's meaning. Dongfang Wen's main job was not to participate in naval battles, but to take charge of shipping work for Hua Jianfeng, especially in consultation with the Argentine authorities.

"Yang Shaoyong, you prepare as soon as possible." Pei Chengyi turned his gaze to the army major, "After the meeting, you will take the transport plane of the Argentine army to the port of Argentina, find Colonel Yan Ruilin, report my name directly, and tell him." The MIA has given me full authority to deal with military operations related to the Falklands dispute. ”

"Straight to the point?"

"Yes, there is no need to be polite, he is arranged by the Military Intelligence Agency in the Huaan Legion." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "After you get it, your first job is to confirm the specific abilities of the legion members, especially how many people can skillfully operate the heavy weapons and equipment of the Afghan army, remember to give me a detailed report as soon as possible." ”

"No problem, then what?.

"Then we will wait for the next instruction, and in the meantime, try to fight with the people of the corps for a long time, if it doesn't work, we still have to count on those hundreds of mercenaries."

Yang Shaoyong nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Long Hongen, you also prepare, and go to the Argentine Air Force Command after dawn."

"What are you doing over there? The lieutenant colonel of the Air Force clearly did not react.

"Keep an eye on Alfonso and report to me on his situation in a timely manner." Pei Chengyi smiled. "Of course, the official capacity is the coordinator of the Military Advisory Group, and the main job is to assist the Argentine Air Force in directing aviation anti-submarine warfare operations." If Alfonso causes you trouble, you can bear with it, and if you can't, call me. ”

Long Hongen smiled bitterly. Not too wordy.

"Hu Jing'an, your task is to assist Dongfang Wen in handling shipping work Pei Chengyi paused a little and said, "The key to shipping work is secrecy and deception, to put it simply. The convoy was a decoy used against British submarines, and it was not important whether they could lure British submarines over, but it was important to ensure that the small ships carrying important supplies could reach the port of Argentina safely, and there must be no mistakes. I'll contact the MIA as soon as possible and ask them to send a few knowledgeable experts over, but you'll have to take care of the main work yourself. ”

Hu Jing'an nodded and agreed.

"Dongfang Wen, remember to tell the other officers that from now on, I will directly arrange the work." Pei Chengyi glanced at everyone and said, "In the future, I will hold video conference calls from time to time to deploy and adjust work arrangements." Or what I told you on the first day. Although this is not our war, we must be worthy of the high salary and be a military adviser who respects professional ethics. If there are no other problems, this is the end of today's meeting, so let's go and prepare. ”

After the meeting ended, Hua Jianfeng deliberately slowed down by half a beat, and after the others went out, he closed the door of the lounge.

"Anything else?"

"Are you really sure you're going to take out those British submarines?"

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly. said with a smile: "Lao Hua, you are the commander of the submarine, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't know what the inside of the submarine is like." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, aren't you afraid that Ji Ge is too beautiful, and the reality is too cruel?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but I can't do nothing because I'm afraid, right?" Pei Chengyi let out a long sigh and said, "The choice of whether to fight or not is not in our hands, and the British are not stupid, we should be able to see the clues, what I bet on is whether the British are rational enough." Of course, the odds are still very high, and in any case, it is impossible for a country that can dominate the world for a hundred years and rely on sea power not to know the powerful relationship. Spell out those submarines, what is left of the British Navy? Just figure this out. You can tacitly take what you need. ”

Hua Jianfeng frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that everything that should be taken into account has been taken into account by you." ”

"Let's hope so, but plans can never catch up with change, and we have to be careful."

"Then I won't be verbose, and I'll contact you when I have something."

"Something's in touch."

Seeing Hua Jianfeng away, Pei Chengyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. If you could take into account all the possible scenarios, you wouldn't be facing this mess.
