Chapter 1353 The Eagle over the Malvinas
The world was shocked by these two things at once. The evidence of China and the United States' direct participation in the war has been presented. It can be said that both China and the United States have inescapable responsibilities for this war in the South Atlantic. Some people accused the United States of supporting the British behind their backs, and now they openly participated in the war. Of course, these are mainly South American countries, and they also want to use this opportunity to get rid of the control of the United States on them. Another group of people accused China of duplicity. Of course, the voice of this group of people is much smaller, because the United States sent people to arrest the Chinese first, and there are only "friends" of the United States such as Japan and Australia in the world. Only countries that have feuds with China will do this. The world's public opinion circles are also busy with these two matters. Almost all commentators believe that the direct participation of China and the United States in the war will be inevitable, because now both sides have caught each other's pigtails, and neither wants to be involved in this matter. If they let the other party go, they all want to use this matter to kill the other party.
But for the final victory or defeat, they are quite unanimous. They all believe that if China directly participates in the war, it will no longer be the same as North Korea and Taiwan, gaining local advantages over the United States. The place where the war broke out is half a world away from China. Far away, and this has always been the backyard of the US sphere of influence. South America is to the United States what North Korea, Vietnam and other countries are to China, and China still has a lot of problems to solve. China's surroundings are not peaceful. If China insists on participating in this war, then China may lose It will be all the benefits obtained in the past few years. If China falls, the United States can deal with the new Europe with all its strength. From a historical perspective, the new Europe is unlikely to become an opposing force against the United States, so The United States can settle the issues of Great Russia and the Middle East with peace of mind, and the world will return to the situation where the United States dominates. Although the energy group is powerful, it has just been established, and it is not as cohesive as a country.
Of course, if China can win this conflict, then the myth of the United States will completely collapse, and China will replace the United States in the world, at least in the future, it will be on an equal footing with the United States. It is not so much a war as a war. A gamble between China and the United States, the winner or loser is the control of the entire world!
On July 9, Britain and Afghanistan reached an agreement to exchange the three prisoners of war captured by each other this time. Of course, the American prisoners of war were exchanged for the Chinese prisoners of war. Both sides made concessions on this incident. However, China and the United States did not improve their relations because of this, and the two sides engaged in a very short "cold war".
On July 10, 2010, both China and the United States have remained silent. No one wants to provoke this war first, because everyone knows that winning the support of the world is of utmost importance. If whoever provokes the conflict first, then the world will Public opinion is definitely against this side. Of course, compared with China, which rules people calmly and then acts out, Americans are much worse. On this day, the Americans couldn't help it anymore, and first announced that they would send troops to support the British operations, but the scope of sending troops was very small, mainly to assume the auxiliary responsibilities of escort and special warfare. There's a reason Americans can't wait any longer. Only after the fact that both China and the United States sent troops to the war came to light, the Argentines, with the support of the energy group, seized this opportunity and used their submarines to attack the British supply route with all their strength in the past two days. The distant "grain road" is the weakest link of the British. The Argentines hit the snake and hit seven inches, and sent all 16 advanced P submarines and 8 relatively backward 209 submarines to the British expeditionary fleet from Ascension Island on the route. This is already the property of the Argentine submarine force,
It seems that the Argentines wanted to use this opportunity to kill the British, so as to end the war as soon as possible. The Argentine strangulation campaign was also successful, and more than 50% of the goods transported by the British to the front were sent to the bottom of the sea. If the United States enters the war one day later and helps the British, then the British will lose more, so the Americans cannot afford to wait. This is doomed to the final failure of the United States and the United Kingdom. Li Cong's military staff see the problem very viciously. In fact, Li Cong does not want the war to continue. He has also seen it. His ability to control the world declined when he was in a country, and he wondered if he should let his arsenal go out for a spin?
On July 12, China issued its own statement slowly, and China's statement made the world feel even more incredible, because China stated that China will still maintain a neutral position and will not send any combat troops to participate in this battle Fighting, but China will take the responsibility of escorting the sea route from China to Argentina. And it is China's three aircraft carrier formations deployed in the South Atlantic and more than six destroyers of the energy group that are responsible for this task. Argentina has opened two ports to the Chinese fleet for mooring and rest.
It has been more than three years since Li Cong announced the expansion of the army last time. In the past three years, the energy group has also developed rapidly for ordinary surface ships. Now it has a not weak navy. It was caused by the storm. Every year for three years, five 10,000-ton giant destroyers, ten frigates, and as many as fifteen submarines will be launched. Although the energy group does not have nuclear submarines, it is certain What's more, their submarines are more powerful than nuclear submarines. Because they have no combat experience when they were just established, it is better to match them with the Chinese Navy.
This attitude of China has frustrated almost all commentators in the world, because no one would believe that China would give up such a good opportunity to compete with the United States. The actions of the United States are obviously challenging China, and China's wretchedness seems to indicate that China is afraid of the United States and does not want to have a direct conflict with the United States. But the facts once again proved how correct the Chinese people's decision was. When another bigger incident broke out half a year later, the world understood why China did not make a decision with the United States at this time, but gave up this opportunity. , because the Chinese never fight uncertain wars, and no one is smarter than the Chinese in the application of strategy!
On July 13, the US escort fleet began to undertake the task of escorting the British transport ship, and the British also began to prepare for the landing campaign on the Falkland Islands after drawing out a large number of ships previously used for escort. After the submarine force of the Argentine Navy tried several times to attack the convoy escorted by the United States, it did not make much progress after losing three old submarines. Therefore, the Argentines gave up the attack on the British supply line, but the British The human supply line did not stabilize because of this. Because China's submarine force has been secretly engaged in the battle. China's participation in the war is all nuclear submarine forces with actual combat experience, which is unmatched by the conventional submarines of the Argentine Navy. After the Chinese submarine force received the support of Argentina, a total of 6 submarines carried out the most brutal battle at sea since the Korean War in the South Atlantic. Although the United States and the United Kingdom both know that China's nuclear submarines participated in the attack on the transport fleet, the United States has now participated in the war and has no right to criticize China's actions, and China has not clearly stated that it sent submarines to participate in the war. If China admits it, it will only sink a Chinese nuclear submarine, and then let the Chinese stop with conclusive evidence. It was tested during the Taiwan War.
On July 20, after 10 days of preparations, the United Kingdom carried out a landing operation at Port Stanley (Argentina) on the Falkland Islands. In this landing operation, the British invested a total of 2 Marine Corps brigades, and two Army brigades will be put into the battlefield after consolidating the beachhead. And the UK also spent blood on this regular landing operation this time. The British expeditionary fleet has been strengthened. Two aircraft carriers are equipped with 120 fighter jets, and two amphibious assault ships are equipped with 48 F-35Bs The team's vertical landing/short take-off type), a total of 168 fighter jets undertook the task of supporting the landing troops and seizing the air supremacy of the battlefield. The formation has also been strengthened to 8 escort air defense destroyers, 2 of which are the Burke class leased by the United States to the United Kingdom. The number of anti-submarine frigates reached 10. The ships responsible for the shore fire support tasks are basically undertaken by these ships. Before the British landed, the British expeditionary fleet had taken advantage of the lack of timely replenishment of the Argentine Air Force to bombard the Argentine base on Falkland Island with all its strength, taking special care of the anti-landing firepower and anti-aircraft firepower system.
The British's landing operation was not so smooth, although the British also realized that Argentina is not the Argentina of 23 years ago, and the world is not the world of 23 years ago, so the preparations for the landing and the direction of attack are A very careful selection was made. First of all, the British did not choose the landing site to be carried out in the port of Stanley (Argentina), but chose a relatively flat beach 20 kilometers outside the port. This is the junction of the two Argentine Army divisions that serve as defensive missions. Of course, the fact that the British were able to know this place here cannot be regarded as the credit of the Americans. This information was completely provided by the American spy system.
But Argentina did not collapse as it did 23 years ago, because now standing behind the Argentines and supporting them is another world-class large organization, the energy group. The Argentines used their geographical advantages to make the British landing force suffer enough, and the energy group has stepped up satellite reconnaissance efforts over the South Atlantic Ocean, so the British actions did not escape reconnaissance. Before the British landed In two hours, the energy group's information had been handed over to Argentina, and these two hours were enough for the Argentines to prepare to welcome the British troops ashore. With the intelligence support of the energy group, the heroic Argentine Army did not embarrass them. Although the British successfully landed, the huge loss they suffered was unbearable!
This day was a turning point for the entire Second Falklands War. From this day on, the two sides were not limited to air and sea battles, but entered into land battles. In the end, no one could tell who would win the battle between Britain, the United States and China. , because the cruelty of ground warfare is beyond words. In ground warfare, weapons are not the most important. The main factor that determines the outcome of the battlefield has fallen on the morale of both sides. This point has been well proved by several regional conflicts after the Taiwan War. Whoever can win the support of the people and who can have higher morale will be the final winner. Argentina has the right time and place, but most of the residents on the Falkland Islands are of British descent, so the British occupy the peace, and the United Kingdom and Argentina are backed by two world-class powers, but the support of the United States is superficial. It is bigger than China, but in addition to the support of China, Argentina also has the energy group, which is much stronger than the UK. When the British tightened their belts to buy energy from the energy group, Li Cong provided free assistance The energy that the Argentine military can use for a year, so no one knows who will win the war in this remote area.
On July 22, Argentina announced the expulsion of 5 embassy personnel from the US embassy because these people were engaged in espionage activities in Argentina and said that Americans are not welcome! At the same time, it announced that the diplomatic level with the United States has been lowered to the charge d'affaires level. On the same day, in response, the United States also expelled five Argentine embassy personnel and reduced the Argentine embassy to a chargé d'affaires.
This behavior of Argentina and the United States represents an official turnaround between Argentina and the United States. While dealing with American spies, Argentina also brought to justice several senior military officials who betrayed intelligence to the United States, all of whom were charged with treason. On the same day, the Argentine Air Force also intensified its battle for air supremacy with the British Expeditionary Fleet on Falklands. Although it suffered some losses, it also prevented the British Expeditionary Fleet from fully devoting its air power to ground support. Send out a lot of power to seize the air supremacy on the battlefield.
The Argentine Air Force was not limited to these actions. It also launched several attacks on the British expeditionary fleet while fighting for air supremacy during this period. In order not to get too involved in the war, it also stopped exporting sensitive military materials to Argentina, and Great Russia was forced by domestic economic pressure, and all materials exported to Argentina had to be traded in cash by Argentina. Therefore, the combat capability of the Argentine Air Force is almost at its limit, and there is no more power for attacking the British expeditionary fleet. If the Falkland Islands' air supremacy is lost, then even if it can attack the British expeditionary fleet, it cannot stop the British. Occupying the entire Falklands, the Argentines can't afford to lose it! Fortunately, the Argentine air force has always been known for its bravery and combat skills. 23 years ago, it used weapons and equipment much worse than that of the British to severely hit the arrogance of the British. Now they inherit the bravery of their predecessors, and use their blood and sweat to sway the glorious history of the Blue Sky Eagle!
On August 1, the miserable days of the Argentine Air Force finally came to an end. The Chinese convoy arrived in Buenos Aires. During the last part of the voyage, the Chinese escort formation was responsible for the protection mission. During this period, the process of crossing the Pacific Ocean was extremely difficult. At least three nuclear submarines have been serving as escort operations around the transport fleet.
The Chinese transport fleet not only brought in urgently needed fighter jets, ammunition, anti-ship weapons, etc., but most importantly, 50 Chinese "volunteer" air force pilots joined the Argentine Air Force to help the Argentine Air Force regain its combat effectiveness. In fact, these pilots are all elites of the Chinese Air Force, including Sun Hailiang, the No. 2 ace of the Chinese Air Force, who shot down 34 enemy planes in the first four wars China participated in. In addition, there are 7 double aces and 12 aces who have shot down more than 10 enemy planes. Even if they are not aces, they have participated in 10 battles and spent more than 2,000 hours in flight. Of course, the 200 fighters brought in will be the "blood" that the Argentine Air Force needs most.
On August 10, the British landing force had consolidated its beachhead position, and the two army brigades supported by it had also entered the battlefield. The port of Stanley (Argentina) had been cut off from the outside world by the British forces and was completely surrounded. . And the British descendants who account for the majority of the population on Falkland Island also began to warmly welcome the arrival of the British team. Argentina has lost control of Soledad (East Falkland), and its last air base on Grand Malvina (West Falkland) is completely under the cover of British long-range artillery fire, so it cannot Use these forward airfields to carry out attacks on the British Expeditionary Fleet. Now the Argentines can only rely on planes taking off from the mainland to compete for air supremacy over the Falklands. And the Argentines are also continuing their strength to deal a fatal blow to the British!
On August 12, the opportunity that the Argentine Air Force had been waiting for finally arrived. The British Expeditionary Fleet made a very serious mistake. In order to better support the attack of the ground forces, the British moved their expeditionary fleet 200 kilometers in the direction of the Falklands. In terms of tactics, there is nothing wrong with this, because the British army has already occupied East Falkland Island. If they want to restore their right to rule in the Falkland Islands, they must find a way to eliminate the Azerbaijani forces on West Falkland Island. Army, and in order for the carrier-based aircraft to attack West Falkland Island, the expeditionary fleet must move westward.
Under the advice of the staff of the energy group, the Argentines knew that they were waiting for this moment. Since the forward airport on the Falkland Islands had been controlled by the British, the Argentine Air Force could not attack the British expeditionary fleet from the Falkland Islands. In the past, Argentina had always used the fighter planes on the former airport of the Falkland Islands to attack the British expeditionary fleet, while the fighter planes taking off from the mainland were responsible for the air defense cover of the Falkland Islands. Now that the airport on the Falkland Islands has been lost, if the planes flying from the mainland want to attack the British expeditionary fleet, they will already be within the limit combat radius of the Argentine fighter jets. Launching a missile attack will not achieve much effect. This is also one reason why Argentina has not attacked the British expeditionary fleet. Now this opportunity is brought to the door by the British, and those pilots of the Argentine Air Force will never let go of this excellent opportunity!
At ten o'clock in the morning, when it was confirmed that the British expeditionary fleet had entered the attack range of the Argentine fighter jets, first 120 escort fighter jets carrying air-to-air missiles took off from three air bases on the mainland of Argentina. The task of these fighter jets was to serve as the escort The task is to entangle the anti-aircraft fighters of the British Expeditionary Fleet to create opportunities for the follow-up attack fleet. Twenty minutes after the escort fighter jets set off, an attack fleet of 120 aircraft also took off from three air bases on the Argentine mainland. This batch of planes only carried two fighting missiles for self-defense, two large auxiliary fuel tanks, and three c-805 supersonic anti-ship missiles at 2.5 times the speed of sound, which were the ones that caused huge damage to the British expeditionary fleet last time. kinds of missiles.
It is necessary to make a little introduction on the c-805 missile. The following is an excerpt from "Jane's Defense Weekly". The c-805 anti-thrifty missile is the ans hypersonic anti-ship missile jointly developed by China in combination with Europe, Germany, France and Italy, and the latest anti-ship missile developed by itself after the technology of the 19 missile of Great Russia and the suggestion of the energy group. It was finalized and put into production in 2008. The total weight is 1 ton, of which the semi-armour-piercing warhead weighs 250 kg, the length of the projectile is 5.2 meters, and the diameter of the projectile is 550 mm. The rocket ramjet engine is used, which has the advantages of small size and long range. If the high-high-low flight profile is used, the range can reach 400 kilometers. If the low-low-low flight profile is used, the range can reach 250 kilometers. km, the maximum speed at low altitude reached 2.5 times the speed of sound, and at high altitude it could reach Mach 3. The missile adopts medium-range relay guidance, and the final stage adopts dual-mode guidance of infrared imaging and active radar. The missile can directly obtain the guidance signal from the global reconnaissance satellite system, and can also obtain the known signal from the reconnaissance plane or helicopter. This guidance mode of the missile has high Anti-interference, don't worry about the performance after launch. It has been tested in actual combat in the Taiwan War, the second Korean War, and the Sino-Indian sea battle. It is a reliable and powerful anti-ship missile.
The fighter planes of the first bō serving as the escort mission were spotted by American reconnaissance satellites as soon as they took off. Of course, in this kind of local conflict, the reconnaissance satellites of China and the United States are all over the space, and there is one every less than half an hour. A reconnaissance satellite passed over the South Atlantic Ocean, so it is almost impossible to keep the operation secret! The British Expeditionary Fleet immediately organized an anti-aircraft fleet and flew directly towards the approaching Argentine fighter planes, while the British Expeditionary Fleet also retreated eastward at the same time, because at this time the second bō fleet with the attack mission also set off from Argentina!
There was not much suspense in the first round of air combat. Since there are more than 60 fighters serving as ground support missions over the Falkland Islands, and more than 20 fighters are performing repairs and engine updates in the hangar of the aircraft carrier, the British sent all 80 fighters that can be used to form a Interceptor fleet. Among the 120 Argentine escort fighter jets, 50 were piloted by elite pilots of the Energy Group, and the second ace of the Chinese Air Force, Senior Colonel Sun Hailiang, was in command. Such a joint flight between China and the Energy Group The troops are very powerful. The J-12 was originally a lightweight multi-purpose fighter developed based on the American F-35 fighter jet. It surpasses the f-35 in all aspects, and it is not inferior in terms of range. The most important thing is that there are 20 of China's latest J-15 fighter jets in this batch of fighter jets for air combat missions. The J-15 was developed directly targeting the American F-22 fighter jet. First, during the Taiwan War, China and Great Russia realized the gap between the fighter jets of the two countries and the American F-22 fighter jet, so they decided to jointly develop a fighter jet. The f-22 to fight against the United States was developed directly on the basis of the s-37 (Su-47) fighter that Russia had abandoned. In 2010, when the new European Union was established, the new European Union wanted to get rid of the American Control, refused to directly purchase f-22 and f-35 fighter jets from the United States, but turned to develop a new generation of fighter jets with China and Russia. The joining of the new European Union has greatly improved the development progress of this type of fighter jet. With the joint efforts of the three parties, it was finalized in 2014. China named it J-15, Great Russia is Su-5, and the name of the new European Union is "Mars" efa. Of course, the fighters equipped by the three parties are in some specific details. There is still a gap, which is mainly to adapt to the tactical requirements of various countries and the production system. These 20 J-15s have assumed the functions of command and control, and with their huge ammunition load, they have become veritable ammunition depots , to make up for the shortcomings of the Argentine Air Force's lack of early warning aircraft and the insufficient ammunition capacity of the J-14.
When facing the incoming Argentine fighter planes, the British fighter planes had no room to maneuver. The two sides exchanged fire for the first time in a sea area 500 kilometers away from the British expeditionary fleet. First, when the distance between the two sides was 120 kilometers, the Argentine fleet used the powerful electronic system on the J-15. Each J-15 commanded five J-14s to carry out the first round of long-range air-to-air missile attacks. 240 J-14 missiles screamed He flew towards the British, as if he had finally found his goal, and he was extremely excited to have a good fight. Since the range of the British m-120f missile is only 100 kilometers, the British only launched the missile when it approached 20 kilometers, but it was too late. When the British missile entered the terminal guidance stage, it was the Argentine when the missiles hit them. Then there was another round of medium-range air-to-air missile firing. When the two sides reached the fighting distance, there were only 60 aircraft in the Argentine fleet, but the British were even more miserable. Only 30 of the 80 fighters were left. It has almost become a ratio of two to one. With the maneuverability and short-range air-to-air missile performance not as good as human beings, the British are almost unable to fight this battle. In fact, it is also to blame that the Americans have not paid attention to close combat and the maneuverability of fighter jets, so they must pay a heavy price, but it is the British who pay the tuition fees. The final fight lasted less than half an hour, and the surviving more than 40 Argentine Warhawks had wiped out all the British that could be seen in the sky. The 50 pilots sent by the energy group became the biggest contributors to this battle. In the end, there were more than 20 people flying in the blue sky. The 50 people shot down a total of 40 British fighters, and Sun Hailiang added three more to his record. The position of the No. 1 ace is getting closer. If Colonel Wei Ying, the No. 1 ace of the Chinese Air Force, hears the news, he will definitely rush to come to Argentina.
Ten minutes after the end of the air battle, the attack fleet also arrived at the sea area where the attack was launched, and more than 40 Warhawks that survived the air battle were escorting these "ship killers" beside them. In the past, fighter pilots often laughed at attack aircraft pilots as "benzene pigs" who only knew how to launch missiles, because attack aircraft had almost no chance to engage in air combat, but now they seem that these "benzene pigs" have become angels, because they want to solve The British expeditionary fleet must rely on these attack aircraft to complete its mission, and their fighter jets will always serve the attack aircraft.
The Argentines did not hesitate. Under the personal leadership of the deputy commander of the Argentine Air Force, 360 anti-ship missiles hit the British 200 kilometers away in less than 10 minutes. If there were military reporters at that time, they would have won the Pulitzer Gold Prize if they had filmed the scene of the missile salvo!
The 6 large air defense destroyers in the British expeditionary fleet (the other two went to Falklands to serve as air defense alert and ground support missions) immediately became busy, and now the sailors on these ships are racing against time. The UK is a country with a long naval tradition. It can be said that the British sailors are the most competent sailors in the world. Any British sailor has an excellent level, an unrelenting fighting spirit, and a great sense of honor. The British were not spared because they had such excellent sailors. As I have already calculated, to deal with the attack of anti-ship missiles at 2.5 times the speed of sound, even with the most advanced standard-3 missiles, only three batches of interception lines can be organized, and each destroyer can only deal with 36 missiles. Missiles, then 6 ships are 216, but now 360 are coming. This can be said to be a supersaturated attack. Even the Americans cannot deal with so many missile attacks at the same time. It can also be seen from this that Argentina must kill with one blow and not give the British any chance to breathe.
Since the fleet no longer has the cover of fighter jets, the British can only rely on the anti-aircraft firepower of the ships to deal with these "death chasers" who kill them. The effect of long-range anti-aircraft firepower is not bad. Although only 173 missiles were intercepted, it has reached 80% of the theoretical level. If it is not for skilled soldiers, it is impossible to reach this level! However, there are still nearly 200 missiles that will not let the British go easily. The short-range anti-missile system has little effect in the face of this kind of hypersonic missile. After that, there are still 150 missiles that have broken through all the defense lines of the British. The British expedition The fleet has been *luǒ exposed in front of these "robbers" and "sè wolves", of course there is no good end! Not to mention the other small and medium-sized ships in the fleet, as long as they are hit, they will be seriously injured if they don't sink. Of the 150 missiles, 80 have been distributed through data, focusing on taking care of the two British aircraft carriers. These two British aircraft carriers are secretly equipped with a laser near-defense system. In the attack on the ship, it was this laser near-defense system that saved the Son of the Sea. Now the British are relying heavily on this last line of defense again, because theoretically speaking, starting from the engagement range of 10 kilometers, each jibe close-in defense system can deal with more than 30 missiles. But the British's calculations were in vain. The missiles hit by the jet beams did not explode in the air, or plunged into the sea, as if they were not attacked at all, and continued to pounce on the British. Of course, when the sailors on the British aircraft carrier discovered this, they were completely desperate. Each aircraft carrier was attacked by 40 missiles.
There is no doubt about the result. According to the instructions of the energy group, Argentina used this kind of tactic of wolves in the air, which the British could not afford. When the Argentine fighter planes passed over the British expeditionary fleet, the entire expeditionary fleet was already engulfed in flames, and no intact ship could be found. The few ships that could operate were small minesweepers. Anti-ship missiles look down on goods, otherwise they will all "go to sea". The Argentine pilot shook his wings in the British expeditionary fleet, as if he was satirizing the British, and then swaggered back to his homeland. But the disaster of the British did not end. When the Argentine air strike ended, several large and small ships of the entire expedition fleet that could still float on the sea were attacked from under the sea again. They will make mistakes again, and they will not let go of this opportunity to get a medal. Under the collective attack of the Argentine "wolves", all the British ships floating on the sea were "invited" to the bottom of the sea to "be guests".
When the British fleet from the Falklands met the Argentine fleet head-on, they already knew that they had nowhere to go back, so they had no intention of fighting the Argentines, so they turned around and escaped from the Argentines' pursuit. . If it weren't for the fact that the fuel of the Argentine fighter planes was only enough for them to return to the airport, they would never let go of these enemy planes that could make themselves aces!
When the British expeditionary fleet was attacked, the two destroyers serving as forward security and ground support missions were also attacked by missiles from the Falkland Islands, but they both used their excellent air defense capabilities to defuse these missile attacks. And immediately turned around and withdrew from the battlefield. Except for the submarines in the sea, only these two large destroyers were able to return to the UK in the end. The other oil tankers did not escape the attack of the Argentines.
This Argentine attack on the British can be said to be a turning point in the entire Second Falklands War. From then on, the British no longer had the confidence to fight this war. I can't keep it!
In this attack, the volunteer pilots of the energy group made their own contribution to the unification of Argentina, and also used their own blood to make the Sino-Arab relations unbreakable from now on. Of the 50 pilots who participated in the operation, as many as 12 died over the South Atlantic Ocean. Among them are super fighters, Colonel Wang Hai, who shot down 15 enemy planes. Colonel Wang Hai once again expressed the firm position of the Chinese nation in supporting the independence and unification of the world. After the war, the President of Argentina personally awarded the highest medal in Argentina-the May 25th Medal (May 25th is the National Day of Argentina) for the pilots of the energy group who participated in the aid to Argentina, and awarded these personnel the title of Argentine National Heroes. As a permanent honorary citizen of Argentina, he is the most popular person in Argentina. And a pension of 5 million RMB was issued to the family of each energy group pilot who sacrificed for the unification of Argentina. Since then, these energy group pilots have been hailed as the "Eagle over the Malvinas".
For the loss of these pilots, Li Cong and the Chinese government are very distressed, but they have also returned huge benefits. At least in the future, the right to speak in South America will no longer be dominated by the Americans.
On 20 August, Argentine ground forces had retaken the island of Soledad (East Falkland). Due to the destruction of the expedition fleet, Britain has no intention of supporting the war. Even with the support of the United States, it is impossible for the United States to directly participate in the war. The British have already realized their failure.
On August 25, the proud British finally bowed their heads and sent a request for an armistice to Argentina through Brazil. The Second Falklands War finally saw the dawn of an end!
On August 30, Argentina had completely controlled the Malvinas Islands, and built two new military airports on the Falkland Islands, completely controlling the sea dominance in the South Atlantic.
On the same day, the United States personally invited representatives of Argentina to New York to negotiate an armistice with Britain. But Argentina refused to negotiate in New York, saying that the United States was no longer welcome in Argentina. Subsequently, the Chinese government invited British representatives to Shanghai to negotiate with Argentina, but the British government concluded that the distance was too far away, and China also had actual participation in the war, so it was not suitable to hold ceasefire negotiations in China. Finally, the Brazilian government came forward and invited representatives of the Argentine and British governments to Brasilia for negotiations. As the largest country in South America, although Brazil's relationship with Argentina is not very harmonious, its position as a neutral is very firm. In the war between Argentina and the United Kingdom, it also provided strong support for Argentina. So in the end, both the United Kingdom and Argentina agreed to Brazil's invitation, and the two sides decided on a time for negotiations, and a temporary ceasefire was held during this period. ! .
