Chapter 50 Secretly Fighting
...There are not only Pei Chengyi and Hua Jianfeng who are paying attention to the Agen yacht transport fleet, but also reporters from major news media in Zhouchen.
As early as the afternoon of the 22nd, some news media made bold predictions, claiming that the Argentine fleet would be ambushed by British submarines between the night of the Ugly Day and the early morning of the Nairi. Some news media with special sources also came up with a "route map." They concluded that the Argentine fleet would not be able to see the rising sun in Nairi. On the same day, several international gambling agencies opened a handicap against the winning rates of the Argentine fleet and British submarines.

Although no news media has pierced the last layer of window paper, the whole world knows that the British Empire, which lost all its face two days ago, will definitely not be ruthless. The British Royal Navy must seize the opportunity to win back a city and will never let the Argentine fleet reach its destination. Similarly, the powerful Argentine Navy is definitely not to be outdone and will continue to work hard to defeat the arrogance of the British Royal Navy in one fell swoop.
A fierce battle is inevitable. The situation is confusing.
Until the dawn illuminated the city of London, the British government did not release any news. What is a bit surprising is that the Argentine government, which had been active before, also remained silent.
Because the time zone in the UK is 4 hours earlier than the Malay Island, and it was still early in the morning in the UK when it was dawn, so the reporter was a little patient. After all, the battle on the Malay Island has not ended yet.
Until the old London time passed, the British government still did not release any news.
Now, thugs from all over the world have been a little impatient. Although according to the regular submarine tactics, after the British submarine intercepted the Argentine fleet, they will not immediately issue a battle report, and will first leave the combat waters, and will only issue a battle report after confirming that they have escaped the enemy's anti-submarine power. However, reconnaissance and surveillance methods are different now. Not to mention anything else, hundreds of military satellites in space are by no means a decoration. Even if the UK is no longer the Sun-Down Empire a hundred years ago, it is impossible to build an independent military reconnaissance satellite system, it is not difficult to use its close relationship with the United States to figure out what happened in the Southern Atlantic. The British government has been reluctant to announce the news, indicating that there will be no good news.
The problem is that the Argentine government, thousands of miles away, has not released any relevant news.
It seemed as if there was no war breaking out at all.
My love experiences
But there is no airtight wall in the world.
It was less than noon in London time, and the "Latest Battle Situation" was the first to report: at around 6 o'clock in London time, at the southern latitude. The thugs turned toward the Port of Stanley nearby and were ambushed by submarines. The battle lasted only a few minutes, and the Argentine fleet with whip escort warships and Shanxi fast cargo ships were wiped out. There were signs that at least the Argentine submarines were sunk in the battle.
Unfortunately, the deleted report did not mention the losses of the British Navy.
However, there was more accurate news before waiting.
London time fell to the point of the day. A British local TV station called Bi reported a "shocking news: After ambushing the Argentine fleet, the Royal Navy attack submarine was attacked by an unidentified submarine. It lost contact with the base one after another.
As soon as this news came out, the world was immediately in an uproar.
You should know that this short report contains too much information that is enough to change the fate of many people.
First of all, it is "unidentified submarine". You should know that in previous reports, various news media have clearly defined the nature of the military power mentioned in the reports and have never used ambiguous words. For example, the Argentine fleet is "Argentine fleet" rather than "the "self-discipline behavior of the news community in a certain country's fleet. On the one hand, it shows that the parties do not want to expand the conflict, and on the other hand, it also shows that the news media needs to be restrained. Mu Yong doubts it, rather than using "unidentified submarines". That is not Argentina.
The submarine is a submarine of another country. Although it is impossible to determine which country's submarine is based on the reports. But this is why the audience in front of the TV has huge room for imagination. Perhaps for the audience in other countries, this only gives a few more topics to talk about after dinner, but for the British audience, it is related to whether they should continue to believe in the government. If the British no longer trust the government, not only will the coalition government led by George face an unprecedented crisis of trust, but British society will also face the test of turmoil.
The second is "sneak attack". The word "sneak attack" is not complicated, but it is not easy to understand. In war, "sneak attack" is generally used during the outbreak of war. One side initiates a war by surprise, such as the Japanese joint fleet attacks Pearl Harbor during World War II, and the Argentine assault troops attack Stanley Port. Because after the outbreak of the war, both sides of the war have entered a state of war and are wary of the other side. Therefore, "sneak attack" cannot be used to describe the other side's military action. Even if they launch an unexpected attack, they should use the words "ambush assault." From this, it can be seen that it is better to use "sneak attack" than to describe the other side's military action.
The word "attack" is in harmony with the "unidentified submarine" in front of it. From another perspective, the "sneak attack" of the thug often means the most despicable and obscene war behavior. It is often considered a sign of participation in the war. In other words, no matter which country Bi is alluding to, it means that the country has participated in the war after using "sneak attack". Although it is the government's business and the behavior of Bi has violated the professional ethics of the news media, for the British, when they have just suffered a tragic blow, they need an object to vent, which is easily misled by news reports.
Finally, there is "lost contact with the base one after another."
This passage, we should look at the "back of the well" part... It is "the person who lost contact with the base is easy to understand. Even in the eyes of the most optimistic people, there are only two possible opportunities for submarines to lose contact with the base. One is that they are carrying out a mission and are inconvenient to contact. The other is that they have been sunk and cannot contact. Because the British submarine has completed the mission, the latter situation is the greatest possibility. The key is "sequence". It indicates that at least a thug has contacted the base and reported the relevant situation. Then it lost contact with the base because of a sudden attack. In other words, when reporting the relevant news, the Royal Navy has received the war report, but the British government has not disclosed the relevant news in a timely manner. The British government's behavior is to say lighter, to be conserving state secrets, to be heavy, to be blinded by the public.
Based on the three points mentioned above, it is not difficult for British audiences to draw conclusions.
The British government had long known that third-party submarines were involved in the war, and had long known that the Royal Navy's submarines were attacked. However, it did not release the relevant news in time and even did not disclose the combat process.
For Ren Zhou, a voter with independent opinions, he would conclude that the British government wanted to make big things smaller and small things smaller. In a way that harms the interests of the country and the nation, he would avoid losing power due to major war losses.
Compare the mouth"
Of course, a little secret was revealed in the report, that is, there are female submarines that have activities near the island of Horse.
No matter what, it has caused a huge wave of news than this report.
Just minutes later, the sister agency of the TV station in Birmingham, was mainly responsible for the security seizure of domestic intelligence. The general manager, editor-in-chief of the news program, host of the program, and reporters who provided news content were arrested one after another.
My love for Lier
Around the old London time, the British Foreign Office took the lead in issuing a statement, and then various government departments stood up one after another.
It has to be said that in the face of emergencies, the British government responded very quickly.
The investigation results released by Genqiu several days later were that the independent journalist who provided the news had been bribed by a certain country's intelligence agency. In order to achieve the ulterior motive, the intelligence agency of a certain country tried to deceive British audiences through false reports, causing social unrest, and preventing the UK from concentrating its efforts to resist foreign enemies. Because the main person in charge of Bi was not aware of it, there was no evidence to directly participate in the conspiracy, so 6 had transferred Bi's personnel to the judicial agency. The local procuratorate and the local court would punish him in accordance with relevant laws.
I'm afraid the truth is the clearest.
According to the relevant content mentioned by the Military Intelligence Agency in the post-war summary report, the news reported actually has nothing to do with any intelligence agency. The Military Intelligence Agency did not create news in the UK, nor did it go to the UK to make trouble. The intelligence agencies in Argentina do not have the ability at all, while other capable intelligence agencies are watching the fun. A more reliable judgment is that the news comes from a senior official of the British Ministry of Defense. More importantly, the report is likely to be handled by the British Ministry of Defense and 6. The purpose is to use this incident to make the British people believe. The British government did not conceal anything British enemies were trying to destroy the UK. After the incident, it is certain that the rapid response made by various British government departments and the lighter sentiment received by the main responsible person is sure of it. This is indeed a conspiracy, but it was a conspiracy written, directed and performed by the British government to deceive the British people.
Of course, this is nothing strange. It can even be said that the British government has done a very civilized job this time.
You should know that in the early century, in order to achieve the goal of fully encircling the republic, the United States did not hesitate to blow up the two largest skyscrapers in its country, and used the lives of more than 0 Americans to create a reason for war to send troops to Afghanistan. Subsequently, in order to control international oil prices, under the command of the United States, British intelligence agencies blew up several subway cars and signed a military order to send troops to Iraq with the blood of the British.
It is indeed a very profitable thing to unite thousands of people by just one news storm.
In fact, the British government achieved its goal.
After this incident, British audiences will be careful about the reports of other news organizations. It seems that all negative news reports are to destroy the UK. Mom Yong doubted that this "epidemic prevention needle" greatly enhanced the "addiction system" that resists foreign influences, and also made tens of millions of British people lose their independent judgment ability. In a certain aspect, trusting the government is a choice made by the British people without other choices. In other words, even if some British people are still skeptical about the government, when the information from various channels is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of information from various channels, the British have no better choice, and can only bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich who encounters natural enemies.
When London was in a turmoil, Pei Chengyi was on his way to the Argentina Presidential Palace.
When he received the call, Pei Chengyi was still with Hua Jianfeng. Because Theron did not invite Lieutenant General, Hua Jianfeng did not go with Pei Chengyi.
After watching Bi's news reports, Pei Chengyi had to admire the British's "political wisdom"
The thug is false news based on facts." The British government used extremely clever means to establish a perfect logical cycle. Simply put, if it proves that Bi's report is true, the British government will at most not go with the flow and unite the domestic people with the slogan of "jointing foreign enemies together"; if it proves that Bi's report is not true, the British government can counterattack. It puts all the blame on the TV station, and then uses the slogan of "fighting the enemy's secret subversion" to make the UK
There is no doubt that no matter what the result occurs, the British government is the final winner.
Of course, from Pei Chengyi's standpoint, we have to consider the impact of this "emergency".
Bi pierced the window paper at this time, indicating that the British government was operating behind the scenes. That is to say, the British government conveyed some kind of information through Bi.
The battle on the Southern Atlantic Ocean has ended, and the report of the comparison is not distorted. After successfully ambushing the Argentine fleet, the female British submarine was sneaked by three "Saidfish Class electric submarines. The "Agile". Before launching a counterattack, the "Fast" class was sunk, and the heavy anti-submarine torpedo fired by the "Saidfish" class was sunk. The "Fast" class used its speed to avoid the first round of attacks, and then launched a counterattack on the "Saidfish Class". Although the performance of the "Fast. Class exceeded that of the "Saidfish Class," the "Fast" class failed to fully utilize its performance after being raided. In the subsequent battles, the "Fast" class and the two "Saidfish" class were successively sunk. The only ones who left the battlefield alive were the thugs, the "Saidfish" class electric submarines.
Although Pei Chengyi was not a naval soldier, he could not imagine the combat process of the submarines, according to the news sent by the Republic's Navy Submarine Command, the thugs released a communication float and reported the combat situation to the British Royal Navy. More importantly, at that time, at least one of the "Saidfish.class electric submarines had sailed faster than the straits. In other words, the British submarines were likely to identify the identity of the opponent. However, the Submarine Command also mentioned in the battle report that the Argentine Navy's "Saidfish" strong concave submarine could also break through the straits under overload. During the trial sailing, it was impossible for the British Royal Navy to conclude that the Republic had sent submarines to participate in the war.
Based on Bi's reports, we cannot guess the intentions of the British government.
In other words, the Royal Navy did receive the "Quick Class" war report, and learned that there were unidentified submarines in the war waters, but it was impossible to be sure whether they were submarines from the Republic, and even the specific number was not known.
In this case, the British government released the wind and wanted to see the other party's reaction.
Pei Chengyi felt humble after figuring this out.
Of course, what he should consider most is not how to respond to the British government. That was the matter between the Argentine government and the Military Intelligence Agency. After receiving a call from the Argentine Presidential Palace, Pei Chengyi knew that the Argentine president's confidence had sank into the cold South Atlantic with the fleet. The cruel facts not only eliminated Theron's arrogant mentality, but also made him realize the future. For the Argentine president at this time, the most needed was confidence. Pei Chengyi had enough reason to believe that before contacting him, Theron must have been on the phone with Li Cunxun or Liu Xiaobin.
No matter how stubborn Theron is, for the sake of personal and family interests, his noble head must be lowered.
However, the pressure on Pei Chengyi's shoulders is not light.
Although according to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the fast freighter with a displacement of only a few thousand tons only carries two battalions of heavy equipment and about thugs Tian Qu tons of combat supplies, the Argentine Army has at least 4 armored battalions and 7 mechatronic battalions. There is no shortage of heavy equipment, but Pei Chengyi must consider another issue, that is, the British Navy is likely to dispatch the second batch of attack submarines as fast as possible. Perhaps the second batch of attack submarines has been on the way south, within a few days
It will arrive. In this way, even if the Argentine Navy adjusts its transportation plan and uses small fast ships to transport heavy equipment and combat supplies to the Cambridge Island, it will take several days to organize transportation forces, and it will be difficult to send reinforcements to the Cambridge Island before the British submarine is redeployed. Because the "Saidfish" class electric submarine has been lost, it is difficult to compete with the British submarines when there are only one remaining, so the Argentine Navy must rely on its own power to resist the enemy and defeat the British Navy.
There is really no way to fight this battle.
From a certain perspective, this is also a test for Pei Chengyi. You should know that before that, Pei Chengyi had never commanded combat operations in adversity. Even in the relatively difficult Peninsula War, the Republic also had an absolute advantage in the overall situation. It was only at a disadvantage in tactics and battles at some point.
The most direct way to change the strategic balance is to apply for reinforcements in China.
”, Orange King
There is no doubt that this request is very unrealistic. According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, even if Li Cunxun agreed to his request, Xiang Yinghui, who was still in the position of Chief of Staff, also actively cooperated. In order to avoid being involved in the war, the Republic's Navy sent at most several submarines as last time, and would not take action again, and at most searching for British submarines for the Argentine Navy. In other words, the Republic's Navy can provide very limited support.
Whether Pei Chengyi is willing or not, he must admit that he can only rely on the existing strength to win the war.
Pei Chengyi didn't rush to think about how to fight, after all, a person's ability is very limited.
For Pei Chengyi, the most urgent task is to rebuild the confidence of the Argentine president and to believe that temporary failure will not have much impact on the situation, and the advantage is still in the hands of Argentina. As long as you seize the next opportunity and give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Argentine army, victory will still belong to Argentina.
Speaking of this issue, Pei Chengyi was much more relaxed.
After being in Argentina for so long, Pei Chengyi did the most is to boost morale in Argentina and make the Argentine president have hope for the future.
