Chapter 775 Import Phantom F1
The biggest deterrent weapon of the Argentinians is the combination of Super Military Flag and Flying Fish. In the last battle, this pair of combinations exerted its greatest power. One ten thousand dollars in one warship worth over 100 million is simply too cost-effective!
This attack also made the French fly fish famous. For a time, many countries applied to France. The French naturally welcomed them very much, and then doubled the price, so those who still did not frown.
And the UK will not allow such threats to continue to happen! For example, now, the British not only retreated negatively and left the attack range of the super military flag, but also took the initiative to go ashore and killed all the Argentinian super military flag fighters!
Without a carrier, flying fish cannot be launched! And Argentina has only a few super military flag fighters!
The British people regained their confidence and believed that they must have the ability to win the final victory.
The sea was quiet for a few days, but everyone knew that it was just a moment before the storm came.
Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina.
The atmosphere in the presidential palace was very depressing. Just now, Galtieri had been roaring for half an hour, but his roar was useless. If his roar could kill the enemy, then he would be the most powerful infrasonic weapon in the world.
Galtier + .quu. Just vent, the largest cruiser of its own navy! Before the aircraft carrier arrived, this warship had always been the flagship of the Argentine Navy!
The cruiser "General Belgrano" was originally named "Phoenix City". It is a Brooklyn-class cruiser. It was built during World War II. It has a full load displacement of 12,000 tons and is equipped with a triple 1mm main gun mount. During World War II, this warship was very popular. It was once General MacArthur's ship, and it also rushed out of the port without any damage during the Pearl Harbor sneak attack. Throughout World War II, the warship was injured many times, hit, ate shells, and even patronized by the Japanese Kamikaze Special Attack Team, but it survived like an immortal bird like the "phoenix" of its name. This warship has always been regarded as a symbol of good luck. In 2019, the ship was retired and was given to Argentina by the United States for $10,000, and then carried out. Now, the warship is loaded with air defense, which is completely a modern heavy warship!
There are thousands of people on this warship, but so far, only more than 700 people have been rescued, and the rest are in danger.
How could this make Galtioli not angry! Then, the news that the Stanley Port Air Force Base was bombed and the super military flag turned into scrap iron made Galtioli even more angry!
Damn it! Originally, he wanted to order his fighter planes to launch a retaliatory counterattack, but now? There are no more weapons to fight back!
After being furious, Galtieri sat back in his seat, his eyes a little blurred. After all, he was already nearly sixty years old.
"General, if we want to retaliate against the British, we need a new carrier." Seeing Galtieri calm down, Navy Commander Anaya said.
The sinking of the cruiser this time shows the weakness of its navy's anti-submarine capabilities. In order not to let such a tragedy happen again, all the Argentine Navy warships returned to the port and did not continue to cruise on the sea. Especially its aircraft carrier, on May 25, also shrank to the port.
This made Anaya extremely depressed. In this case, his air power needs to be restored as soon as possible!
Although Argentina obtained the Super Hornet helicopter with the help of the arms dealer Mhamad, which can also launch flying fish, the British aircraft carrier formation has been far away from the surroundings of the Horse Island, and the helicopter's endurance is limited and it is impossible to launch a strike at all! The arrival of this helicopter is more convenient for them to use modern sonar equipment.
A new carrier is needed! If there is a Super Military Flag fighter of the same model, it would be the best! But now it seems that it is absolutely impossible.
"Anaya, what new carrier do you think you need?" Galtieri said to Anaya with red eyes.
"There is another fighter in Iraq that can meet our needs, which is the Phantom F1. We can come from Iraq." Anaya said: "This type of aircraft is also a legal aircraft, and its flight characteristics are very similar to that of the super military flag. Our pilots can adapt to the flight of this aircraft after a brief training. If it really doesn't work, even if we hire Iraqi pilots, we must restore our attack capabilities as soon as possible!"
Iraq! Now, only Iraq can rely on! Iraq’s Phantom F1 uses not the common **** structure of Phantom, but the conventional fighter aircraft structure. Both fighter aircraft are from the same era, with almost the same cockpit, so it is not difficult to get started.
From Iraqi Phantom F1! Anaya's words made Galtiri regained confidence. If there was really a Phantom F1 listed on the shelves, there would be no suspense in this naval battle.
But...fighter jets are definitely a huge expense, not comparable to those of the previous few. Can the Argentine Treasury have so much funds to the Ministry of National Defense?
"How much does the Iraqis offer?" Galtieri asked.
"If there are 30 million US dollars per aircraft, 20 aircraft, it will be 600 million US dollars." Anaya said.
Thirty million US dollars! Hearing this, Galtiri felt that he was about to vomit blood. Damn, Iraqis are too good at asking for the price! Now, the latest third-generation machine, which is this price, these second-hand Phantom F1s, have a normal price of about 10 million US dollars. These black-hearted Middle Easterners!
"If we don't have enough funds, the Iraqis say that the plan they proposed will still be effective," Anaya continued.
The original plan proposed was naturally the proposal to jointly develop oil around the island of Mahara. Hearing this, Galtiri clenched his fists: "No, we will not distribute the sovereignty of the island of Mahara that we beat with blood to others. Our treasury can also pay for this expense!"
Of course, Galtieri knew that behind Iraq was the Soviet Union, and the sovereignty of the Cambridge Island was absolutely impossible to compromise! Moreover, if you take over the Cambridge Island and join hands with the Occupy Petroleum Company to develop, you can restore your relationship with the Western world. Isn’t this better?
In his heart, Galtieri still doesn't believe in the East. (To be continued.)
