"The enemy has launched missiles!" Elbert's blood surged, shouting at the integrated noise-reducing headset on the flight helmet.
"Left full rudder! Go ahead at full speed! Release interference!"
Major General Sandy, who was commanding the battle on the "Invincible", made the right choice at the first time. Four Olympus TM3B gas turbines maximized the output power. The total power of up to 72.5 megawatts drives the ship. The 20,000-ton giant ship turned sharply on the sea, and rows of jamming bombs were launched into the air and spread out around the aircraft carrier, forming a cloud of aluminum foil in order to disrupt the seeker of the Flying Fish missile. The line of sight, while the radar operator watched nervously on the screen to track the trajectory of the incoming missile.
"It worked!"
The radar operator excitedly punched the display console in front of him. In front of him, one of the light spots had disappeared, apparently falling into the vast sea, while the other was flying on the starboard side of the "Invincible". In the past, the signal characteristics are gradually weakening.
The crisis has passed, and cheers erupted in the command room. Major General Sandy wiped his forehead involuntarily. Although he had just acted calmly and calmly, in fact, there was a cold sweat deep in his heart.
However, after a while, the cheers stopped abruptly.
On the radar operator's screen, the fading light spot suddenly turned a small bend and went straight to another huge light spot.
"Who is there?" Sandy asked loudly.
The staff quickly gave the answer: "Reporter, that is the'Atlantic Carrier' ro-ro ship."
"Contact them immediately, let them maneuver and release interference immediately!"
However, it is too late, and this ship, which is temporarily converted from a civilian container freighter, has almost no weapons that can be used for defense. Therefore, tragedy is doomed.
With the sound of a huge explosion, the "Atlantic Carrier" became another victim buried under the "Flying Fish" missile. It sank along with it. There were also four "supports" that were on board the ship. Three of the "Nugan" heavy helicopters, a squadron of "Wessex" support helicopters, and a large number of other military supplies.
However, the nightmare of the Royal British Navy did not stop there.
On this day, the Argentine Air Force carried out the largest dispatch in the history of the army. The heroic Argentina Air Force officers did their best to dispatch more than 200 sorties throughout the day. The Royal British Navy paid a heavy price for this. Thanks The second class 42 destroyer "Coventry" of the same class of the "Field" was also sent to the bottom of the sea and became the funerary of the "Atlantic Carrier". At the same time, another destroyer and two frigates were seriously damaged. Had to withdraw from the battle, and there were even rumors that a certain aircraft carrier was shot and injured.
This time the loss was so great that the capital market’s reaction was even more intense than when the Sheffield sank not long ago. Almost everyone was skeptical about whether Britain could continue this war, and there were even rumors that Britain had already Begin to discuss the possibility of peace with Argentina in private.
It was still the tavern, and the three people, but at this meeting, everyone had excited smiles on their faces.
The fruits of victory are so sweet that they can't help but smile from the heart.
Guo Zhaode smiled and reported: "I tell you the good news. As of today's close, the pound has fallen to 1:1.32 against the US dollar. Our nominal profit has reached 40%. In other words, the current contract profit on our hands is close to 2200. Ten thousand U.S. dollars."
"I have earned so much!" Yu Pengxia sighed, "The speed of making money is really too fast. I would have invested more if I knew it." It is indeed too fast. I want him to accumulate money. After a few decades, I barely made up a million dollars, but only a few days? In a month or so, his assets have increased by nearly 2 million!
"Hehe, I don't know who was crying and shouting to quit not long ago." Guo Zhaode joked.
This person is also in a great mood recently. Without him, he has made a fortune! According to the agreement of the three people in advance, as a trader, he won't be counted as a trader. If he makes a profit, he will get 5% of the total profit. After calculating it, he will have 1 million dollars to enter his pocket immediately. Can he be unhappy?
"Hey, hey, you don't slap someone in the face, you don't swear, you have to keep your morals, don't you know?" Yu Pengxia responded with a blushing face.
"It's alright, I actually had a cold sweat in my heart at the beginning. It's normal for Pengxia to think that way, but fortunately, we all persevered in the end." Tan Zhenhua played round the game.
This is why everyone likes Tan Zhenhua. He is the one who can grit his teeth and persist in the most difficult time. It is him who does not brag about himself when he is successful. At a young age, he can have this kind of temperament, and he can't help him. Get close.
"Then, what do we do next? Hold the short contract and continue to wait for the pound to fall? Looking at this momentum, Argentina is playing quite well, and it is really possible that the British can not support it. They shouldn't be so small. An island far away from the country puts all its navy in, right?"
"No, early tomorrow morning, Zhaode, you will close all the short contracts in your hand, and then buy pounds."
"Ah? Why? Zhenhua, do you think the bottom of the'V' reversal has reached the bottom? But now that the A Army has such a strong momentum, it shouldn't show its defeat so quickly, right?"
"Even if it doesn't reach the end, it won't last for a few days, because Argentina will run out of ammunition and can't move her."
"What? How? Why?"
Tan Zhenhua sighed and said: "The Afghan army played very well some time ago, especially the air force, which caused great losses to Britain. It also effectively prevented the British army's attempts to expand the results after landing, and it also severely damaged its navy one after another. , It's a pity, this can only be temporary."
After waiting for Yu and Guo Erwei to continue to ask questions, he then explained: "The reason why the AAF can achieve such brilliant results is inseparable from its excellent pilots and good weapons and equipment. Let me talk about the pilots. Their current pilots are all accepted. They have received formal and strict training in the United States or Gaul, so their skills and tactics are very high. However, with the further development of the war, their air force aircraft have been continuously shot down and the pilots have suffered great losses. It’s really hard to say about its combat power, this is one of them."
"Speaking of equipment, Argentina ordered 14 Super Army Flag fighters and 9 Flying Fish missiles from Gaul. It is these two weapons that caused Britain to suffer. But I estimated it. The flying fish that sank the Atlantic Carrier is probably their last inventory. Without the weapon in hand, how do you let them fight? This is the second."
"If you don't have a missile, you can buy it from Gaul? I heard that the price of a flying fish is only 300,000 US dollars. For a country, isn't this amount of money?" Guo Zhaode asked puzzledly.
"Haha, Zhao De, you only know one thing and don't know the other, Argentina is willing to buy again, but Gaul will not sell it."
"Why? I heard that the arms business is the most profitable. Isn't it possible that Gaul has money and doesn't make it?" Guo Zhaode was even more confused.
"Because, whether it is Britain, Gaul, or even the United States, these Western powers, don’t think they fight to the death and life, but when facing outsiders, they are in the same group. There are rare occasions when they will vent their anger with one nostril. Britain will not let Gaul sell the'flying fish', won't Gaul stop selling it!"
"So, Zhenhua, what do you mean, Argentina's resistance will end here?"
"Yes, the Argentine Air Force lacking ammunition has lost the ability to resist. The attack on May 25 can be regarded as the last swan song of the Argentina Air Force. Compared with the brave air force, its army is simply a model of fighting the five scum. Therefore, Britain, which has consolidated its beachhead position, will enter the rhythm, and they will be fully victorious."
"Okay, I understand how to do it." Guo Zhaode nodded and replied. This time, he did not question Tan Zhenhua's judgment.
The three people in the small bar reached a plan for the next operation. At the same time, in the towering building on the side of Victoria Harbour, Li Jiacheng was asking: "Zhe Kai, you know that you are all wrong this time. Where is it?"
