Chapter 462: The Decision of the Iron Lady

That paper agreement will expire in fifteen years!
The Iron Lady sighed softly.
Xiangjiang, a rich place where gold and silver flows, the country has maintained its rule for 84 years, how can it easily give up? That would be tantamount to cutting off another piece of flesh from the sick body in Britain!
Wait a minute, this victory over the Maldives fully proved that the British Tigers are in the old glory. Compared with its own navy, China's weak air and sea power is simply not worth mentioning.
I think back then, those pioneering ancestors in their own family inherited the Anglo-Saxon tradition of living toward the sea, using huge ships and cannons to forcibly pluck the pearl from the ancient empire of the East!
Now, although the ancient empire of the East has changed its owner, the difference in strength between the two sides has not decreased much!
At least, Britain can send a fleet of destroyers with two aircraft carriers as the core at one time. What does China have?
Oh, they seem to have a large number of so-called "Yellowwater Battleships!" with a displacement of less than 500 tons!
Although China relied on the status of the victorious nation in World War II to reluctantly retain its seat in the United Nations five permanent members, but the quality of the five permanent members, haha, it would be different.
Of course, Huaxia also has a big killer at home, but as long as there is no national war, he would not dare to use it easily, right?
Besides, compared to the big killer, their own goods are not bad!
Do they really dare to escalate a regional dispute into a national war for a small island?
What's more, to the north of China, there is an aggressive giant bear. The armored torrent of ten thousand units may make the leaders of China sleep with one eye open; there is also a monkey controlled by the giant bear in the southwest. Constantly harassing; Indy to the west is also brooding about the defeat in the 1960s, with constant small movements.
Could it be that he really dared to erect another powerful enemy like Britain on the southern sea?
Replaced by anyone, facing such an environment, will hesitate?
Therefore, at this moment, it should be the best time to solve the Xiangjiang problem!
The wandering eyes of the Iron Lady became firm again. History brought this opportunity to her eyes. If you grasp it well, Britain will surely rise again, and she will become the greatest prime minister of the empire after Churchill, not one!
She clenched her fists and said to herself secretly: "Marguerite, come on, you can!"
She picked up the phone on the table.
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs? This is Margaret Thatcher. Yes, I need you to meet with the Huaxia Ambassador. Yes, as soon as possible, the content is to arrange an official visit to China. Time? I think it can’t be too late. In September of this year... well, yes, and how many visitors from Hong Kong we invited to the ceremony this time? Arrange a time and I need to meet and chat with them."
...
Stanley Hooker is the chief engineer of the "Ro-Ro" company. Of course he was invited to participate in this triumphal ceremony with the title of knight, and his position is still quite high.
The reason is that the military has a high evaluation of the Sea Harrier fighter, one of the heroes who won this battle.
The "Sea Harrier" is the world’s first turbofan jet-powered fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing fighter "Harrier" naval development model. In the Falklands Battle, the "Sea Harrier" demonstrated extraordinary combat power. 21 Air Force fighters were shot down in the air battle, and their own losses turned out to be "0"!
As for the 10 "Sea Harriers" that were destroyed during the Occupy Central, all of them were the result of the ground air defense artillery fire of the Afghan Army.
0:21, such a high air combat loss ratio is really an excellent record worthy of a special book, and it has won the title of "Black Devil" by its opponent, the Air Force. The reason for achieving such a record is that Praising the bravery and decisiveness of the British pilots is obviously inseparable from the excellent performance of the "Sea Harrier".
The "Sea Harrier" is just a high subsonic fighter plane, and it does not have the ability to fly at supersonic speeds. Compared with the Gallic "Phantom" and "Super Banner" supersonic fighters equipped by the Air Force, it seems like At a disadvantage, the advanced radar and electronic systems equipped on the Sea Harrier and the metric AIM-9L Sidewinder close-range air combat missile are far ahead of their opponents. This is also the cost for the Sea Harrier to win in air combat.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Stanley Hook, only one thing is related to him-the "Pegasus" engine developed and produced by "Ro-Ro" equipped on the "Sea Harrier" aircraft!
This engine, which was developed in 1954 and was not officially delivered until 1968, is indeed an epoch-making masterpiece in human history!
It is the first dual-rotor engine that uses two rotors to rotate in opposite directions. The benefits of this are obvious. It eliminates gyro torque and significantly improves the stability during hovering and transitional flight.
The most important thing is that it adopts a thrust reversal scheme with a rotatable exhaust nozzle. An engine can be used to provide both lift and thrust. It is this ability that makes the "Sea Harrier" unique in the world. Special ability-vertical take-off and landing.
It is precisely because of this "Pegasus" engine and this "Sea Harrier" fighter that the Royal British Navy, which is struggling with funding, does not need to spend huge sums of money to develop and equip steam catapults and blocking cables to fight against the "anti-submarine cruiser" The banner was concealed by many members of Congress, and the "Invincible" aircraft carrier developed by defrauding funds eventually had fixed-wing fighters available.
You know, the British Navy launched the aircraft carrier, the struggle has been so tragic that the then chief of staff who supported the construction of the aircraft carrier, General Al Mountbatten, was forced to step down.
However, even so, on February 22, 1966, the "CVA-01" aircraft carrier construction plan was ruthlessly rejected by Congress. On the same day, all members of the Royal British Naval Staff collectively submitted their resignations and bid farewell in this tragic and tragic way. The Royal Navy gradually fell out of favor.
Therefore, when the "Invincible", wearing an "anti-submarine cruiser" skin, finally entered service, and under the blessing of the "Sea Harrier", it transformed into a real light aircraft carrier, and after it shined in this "Famosa War" Sir Hook was grateful to the military, especially the Royal Navy, the greatest hero of this battle. He deserves his name and deserves it.
Hook was very happy today, not only because he was praised by the military, but also because a big deal was about to fall.
The United States noticed the excellent performance of the "Sea Harrier" in this "Battle of Falklands", and finally decided to purchase 108 "Sea Harrier" and "AV8A" fighters in the early stage, and cooperate with the manufacturer of the fighters. "British Aerospace" and the engine producer "Ro-Ro" have conducted in-depth cooperation to develop "AV8B".
Moreover, at the reception held after today’s triumphant welcome party, he has already met with the representative of Pratt & Whitney, and the other party made it clear that he wants to purchase a patent for the
Pegasus
engine and cooperate in the development of a more powerful model. .
For the "Luo-Luo" company, which is struggling to survive under the loss line, this is really a help in the snow!
Sir Hook walked back to the five-star hotel where he was staying while humming a little song happily. He took out the key and was about to open the door. The corner of his eye flirted, but he found that he was walking at one end of the corridor. A familiar figure.
He suddenly turned around in surprise, and yelled: "Wu, why are you here?"
