In the end, Bao Zixuan went home alone, but what Bao Zixuan didn't know was that Austin-Dupont, a skilled driver, had been following him.

It can be said that Austin-DuPont has already spent with Bao Zixuan, and now his role is equivalent to the secretary of Bao's richest man. At least for the past few days, neither of them talked about the sports car, it just depends on who can't hold it up first.

At this time, the waters of the Malvinas Islands, which are thousands of miles away, were even more lively. The British task force and the Argentines finally met in the waters of the Falklands, and the war was about to break out.

Similar to the previous life process, the British Royal Air Force first stationed at Widiawick Air Force Base on Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean, including the **** McDonnell Ghost FGR.2 fighter-bomber and 44 Squadron Vulcan bomber, and a Victory air tanker fleet; the difference is that the Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft also stationed in the air base. Meanwhile, the Royal Navy task force arrived in Ascension waters to prepare for battle.

The Xiangjiang monster was soon assigned a combat mission to retake South Georgia. The British army's first combat mission fell on Major Paulson, who came from Xiangjiang.

In fact, this also means that they become cannon fodder. It stands to reason that the first battle must choose the most elite soldiers in order to boost morale, but the arms dealers just handed over the island capture task to the troops from Xiangjiang in order to make the Xiangjiang monster embarrassed. Their equipment and training can only be regarded as second-rate in the UK, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong.

The commander has no choice but to act according to the wishes of the domestic arms dealer, and sometimes it is troublesome to have too many interests involved. When the people in the country are still in the nest now, if the British Empire is defeated, it must not let these people go easily.

Soldiers have obeyed fame and fortune, even though they know that commanders may have bad intentions. But this is also an opportunity to prove himself, so Major Paulson is very cooperative to receive the combat mission.

Paulson took 500 British soldiers to take advantage of the night to fly to South Georgia Island in a ground-effect aircraft. This time he wanted to hit the Argentine by mistake.

After allocating the combat tasks of each team, the ground effect aircraft began to accelerate at a distance of 3 kilometers from the island. It can be said that the Xiangjiang monster has come to them before the Argentine army has fully reacted.

One is alert, and the other is hovering to let people down. The first time Argentines saw the Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft. And the most important thing is that this monster can also shoot down. The Xiangjiang monster is equipped with a thermal imaging system and an infrared night vision device, making the Argentines almost invisible.

It was a face-to-face effort, and the troops led by Major Paulson took control of the situation. Under the powerful search ability of the Xiangjiang Monster, the Argentines were either eliminated or surrendered, but it was said that they won the first battle without any effort.

In this battle, the Argentine army on South Georgia Island was completely destroyed, with a total of 305 casualties, and more than 400 people chose to surrender. With only 2 casualties on the British side, it can be said that the victory was very easy.

Major Paulson became famous in the first battle. No commander in the history of the British army can win such a disparity in casualties; it is a rare miracle in the history of world wars. His record has been filmed into various film and television works by later generations, and his domestic limelight is unparalleled for a while. However, Major Paulson knew that without the ground effect aircraft he was nothing, and the enemy was mainly killed by the ground effect aircraft. He was very honored to be able to command two ground effect aircraft.

What surprised Major Paulson even more was that his father, who had been despised all the time, called him personally, and told him to pay attention to the safety of domestic affairs. Don't worry, no one can take away the credit that belongs to him.

The British prefer the spirit of aristocracy, and the officers are generally held by nobles; this battle even took part in the battle of the Queen's second son, Prince Andrew. Now an aristocratic child has played the prestige of the British Empire in the first battle, making the domestic people very confident in the next battle.

For the first time, the high-level British army also felt the horror of the ground effect aircraft, which can be said to be a weapon for near-ground raids. It seems that the purchase order still needs to be increased. The practicality of this weapon is too strong. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is simply not worth mentioning compared with the results obtained. The military sharing between the United States and the United States has made the Americans get the news at the first time, and the investment in the research and development of ground effect aircraft has also increased accordingly.

Domestic arms dealers have begun to play tricks again, in order to prevent the ground effect aircraft from being too bright. Ask the commander to try his best not to send Xiangjiang troops out for missions in the next battle.

Commanders who are inextricably linked with domestic arms dealers can only be at the mercy of others. They clearly know that this is not good for the British Empire, but some things are beyond their control.

In this way, the troops from Xiangjiang began to rest, and the commander began to mobilize other troops to fight against the Argentines. Major Paulson is not someone who doesn't know what's good or bad. It's impossible for him to take all the credit, so he doesn't have any opinion. It was mainly because his father who was far away in London had already explained his interests to him, so he accepted everything so calmly.

The British began to meet the Argentines at sea, and by this time the battlefield had all shifted to the sea and the island. In this life, Bao Zixuan had already arranged for Valenko-Ustinov to transfer a lot of individual air-to-air missiles from the Soviet arsenal to Argentina. He had paid for the money first, but the Argentines didn't know it. This also made the Harrier fighter, which was not very reasonable in its design, bad luck, and the proportion of battle damage greatly exceeded the British army's estimate.

Basically, a squad of Argentines has an anti-aircraft missile deployed to attack British helicopters and low-altitude aircraft. The British were also a little confused at this time. After the real war broke out between the two sides, the international community has banned the supply of any weapons to the warring parties. It can be said that this is obviously biased towards the British. Basically, their weapons can be produced by themselves, but for the Argentines with a weak industrial base, the production of guns and ammunition may be sloppy, and it is impossible to produce missiles. So who brought the weapons to Argentina? The main job of MI6 is to investigate this matter.

When MI6 was unlucky recently, it was also their judgment that the Argentines would not attack the British army in the Falkland Islands. London is to provide them with intelligence and judgment to make deployments, but the intelligence has proved useless, and the Argentines have occupied the Falkland Islands, which has caused high-level officials to question their capabilities.

Now that there are so many individual air defense missiles suddenly in the hands of the Argentines, I don't know who shipped them and how many; what's the use of keeping such intelligence agencies.

I only know that the report said that it was a Soviet-made missile, and the plane was shot down. Even if MI6 did not report to the front-line commanders, they knew that the weapons were produced by the Soviets. What is the use of reporting now.

The full name of MI6 is the Sixth Bureau of British Army Intelligence, and it is also called "the world's four major intelligence agencies" together with the Soviet KGB, the US Central Intelligence Agency and Israel's Mossad . The Western intelligence community regards MI6 as the "founding father" of the world's intelligence agencies and the most efficient intelligence agency in the world. From the early days of Elizabeth's creation to the present, it and its predecessor are strictly confidential, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service, which was originally the British intelligence agency's overseas intelligence system.

Such an agency had become the laughing stock of the British Empire, at a time when all intelligence agents deployed in the Americas were actively investigating the origin of the Argentines' weapons. They did not dare to trouble the Soviets and could only find a solution on the Argentines.

If this matter can't be investigated clearly, who will take them seriously after a game is taken back, Colin Forgais, the director of MI6 who just took office, looked at the intelligence personnel below and said, "I don't care about you. In any way, we must grasp how many damned Soviet-made individual weapons are still in the hands of the Argentines. If we can't grasp the exact number, then the front-line soldiers can only try and calculate with their lives. At that time, we will be in MI6. There is really no need to exist, and I hope you can do it yourself.”

Although MI6 has mobilized all manpower, material resources and resources, and finally mastered a total of 1,000 such weapons in the hands of the Argentines, it has never been able to grasp when and how they were transported to Argentina. After all, no one will doubt it. On companies and people who have just been sanctioned by the Argentines. This has always been a puzzle for the British, and finally became an unsolved case.
