"Then..." It is obvious that Brigadier General Krapp did not intend to let me go like this... Of course, this is also what I hoped.
At this time, Brigadier General Krapp was obviously in a state of state... In other words, everything he did just for socializing was just for socializing. For a submarine like me who captured a submarine worth 200 million US dollars, and who was also a consultant from China, he
The fleet commander said he would like to thank him personally.
However, everyone could see that Clap was very busy at this time. This was of course. As the main force in attacking the island of Mahara, he must consider it.
Of course there are many aspects of the plan. So from the beginning, Brigadier General Clap planned to meet me for a short time. Thank you verbally and then give me some rewards or something.
But now the situation is obviously different.
Clap handed me a cigar, and after lit it, he said slowly: "Why did the Colonel think that the Super Military Flag would be a threat to us?"
"The reason is very simple!" I said: "According to the information we have, Argentina has five super flag fighters, right? Moreover, these five super flag fighters are equipped with one flying fish missile, and the total number is five. I don't know.
Is the information we have wrong?”
A little surprise appeared in Clap's eyes again.
I know why he was surprised. You must know that this information is extremely important and strictly confidential for both Argentina and the United Kingdom. It can even be said that it had just happened not long ago... France was originally going to sell 14 Super Flag Fighter jets to Argentina.
, even under delivery, but the embargo was immediately imposed as soon as the war in the Falklands broke out.
It is precisely because of this that there are not many thirds who know about this. China, which is relatively closed to information and intelligence, can even know the number of fighter jets and missiles that have been delivered. Of course, this will make Clap feel
Surprised.
"Your intelligence is very accurate!" Clap nodded: "We obtained this intelligence from France, and I don't know if your country's intelligence is..."
"Of course we have our own source of information!" I said.
Another meaning of this answer is that this is a state secret, but in fact, this is not a state secret at all, but my own secret... I know this from modern information.
"Well!" Seeing me saying this, Clap was naturally embarrassed to ask questions. He changed the subject and said, "But we don't think these fighters can stop our attack! We know that these fighters do have superior performance, but
The problem is that Argentina has just obtained these fighter jets. They do not have pilots who are proficient in mastering the super military flags. On the other hand, they have too few super military flags. There are only five... This does not pose too much threat to us!
The Harrier fighter can handle it."
I was stunned when I heard this. The words that Brigadier General Krapp seemed to have always focused on the "Super Military Flag" fighter jet.
If it is just a fighter plane, it is indeed as Krapp said. The five fighter planes and the pilots who have just completed training have no experience, the role they can play in the battlefield is very limited in any case.
But the problem is that these five fighter jets are also equipped with "Flying Fish" air-ship missiles, which is the weapon of warships.
But after thinking about it, I quickly realized that Clap did not realize the danger of the missile at this time. In fact, it was not only that Clap did not realize this, but even the UK and even the whole world did not realize a small one.
Missiles will pose a fatal threat to warships and even aircraft carriers with displacement of thousands of tons.
And this point is precisely proved that the British naval battle was sunk by the sinking of the main transport ships of the British army, the Sheffield and the Atlantic Transporter.
The military experts suddenly realized... It turned out that small missiles could create miracles of sinking large warships.
"The problem is the Feiyu missile!" I added: "The flag fighter jets of the class can launch missiles from a long distance. This kind of missile will pose a great threat to the fleet, even the Sheffield ship we are in!"
Upon hearing this, Brigadier General Clap couldn't help laughing: "Comrade Colonel, I don't think you know what equipment this Sheffield carries. Don't worry, it can deal with any threats from Argentina, and I want to
What we mean is... this warship has never been defeated!"
I couldn't help but smile helplessly. When I heard these words from Krapp, I knew that nothing else would be useless.
I have to admit that I made a mistake, that is, I always think about problems from my own perspective, but I never thought that I was a modern person. Some things are common sense to me, such as the flying fish missile can sink. Thank you
The Field, even can sink an aircraft carrier. But the problem is that people of this era do not understand, and it should be said that they do not understand or believe it before they are "learned".
So sometimes I feel that I am actually very stupid. I have encountered this situation several times before, but now I still make this mistake.
"If this is the case, I will be relieved!" I said: "But General, I hope you can remember what I said today. Never underestimate the threat of the Feiyu missile. It can even determine the success or failure of the entire war.
!”
The fact I am talking about is that in history, Argentina aimed these five flying fish missiles at British aircraft carriers... You should know that there are only two British aircraft carriers, and each aircraft carrier can only carry more than ten Harrier fighters.
As we all know, naval warfare is mainly about seizing air supremacy, and the British special-mixed fleet mainly relies on these Harrier fighters to seize air supremacy and gain the initiative in the entire war.
Of course, if the Harrier fighter is in modern times, it would not be enough, but in this era, it is especially used to deal with the old fighter jets of Argentina World War II era, which can be regarded as advanced, so two aircraft carriers were placed on twenty.
The capture of air supremacy by Yu Harrier is not a problem for the British army.
but……
What if Argentina could sink an aircraft carrier?
That means that the British Air Force's main force is reduced by half at once, and it is even impossible to rotate or effectively dispatch... If there are two aircraft carriers, more than a dozen Harrier aircraft can be guaranteed to participate in the air if necessary.
When this batch of Harrier is exhausted or needs to return to the ship to replenish ammunition, another aircraft carrier's Harrier takes off to fill the gap.
But if there is only one aircraft carrier, it means that at most five or six Harrier aircraft can be used at the same time. Otherwise, if all of them are dispatched in batches, there will be a gap in air supremacy, giving the Argentine Air Force an opportunity to take advantage of it.
, the six "Harrier" are obviously not enough to control air superiority.
This is the real threat faced by the British fleet in history from the flying fish missile. Simply put, as long as a flying fish missile successfully sank an aircraft carrier... Then the British special mixed fleet will be finished, do you want to suffer
If there are even more heavy losses, go home!
But it is obvious that Clap in front of him has not noticed this danger at all.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel depressed. It seemed that the plan to stay on the boat this time was ruined.
"To be honest!" Brigadier General Clap changed the subject and said, "I was surprised that you can have such accurate information. Please rest assured that Colonel, we will consider every possible factor for this war, including those who travel thousands of miles away.
As the advisory group of guerrilla warfare, the facts have proved that we are right and you have given us great help.
The same is true for the threat of Feiyu missiles. Thanks to the Colonel for his advice, I will convey your suggestions to the relevant parts!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and thought to myself that this conversation was likely to end like this.
But what I didn't expect was that Clap said immediately: "In addition, I want to know what your country thinks about this battle, that is,... if you are asked to fight this battle, you
What will be done?"
At this time, I was actually absent-minded.
The reason is that I miscalculated and lost this time, which is the only chance. The frustration in it is conceivable.
But this cannot be said to have lost this opportunity. What I said just now is to remind Clap to pay attention to the threat of flying fish, which is actually setting the foreshadowing for the future.
That's what I think... Now I'll say it out first, and then when the Flying Fish Missile really sinks the Sheffield, which claims to be able to face any threat, then Clap will remember what I said
It's right.
At that time, it depends on whether Clap is an enlightened general.
Otherwise, he would not only not ask me to return to the fleet to provide him with more advice, but he might also be angry because he did not care about my warning before, which eventually caused serious losses to the fleet.
Isn’t there such an incident in history?
A certain adviser warned Yuan Shao that he could not do this, otherwise he would do whatever he wanted. If Yuan Shao didn't listen, the result would be really what he wanted!
Not only did Yuan Shao not value this strategist, he sent someone to kill him!
Of course, I believe Clap would not do such a thing, at most he would just do nothing coldly.
In other words, in the end, I am very likely to stay on that deserted island!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and answered Clap listlessly: "We have no suggestions for this war, but in my personal opinion... just fight an asymmetric war!"
"Asymmetric war?" Krapp was stunned when he heard this: "What is an asymmetric war?"
I was stunned when I heard this, and I thought to myself that there was no such thing as "asymmetric war" at this time! (To be continued...)
