Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 858: Double Happiness
"Yes, General Secretary!" Other members of the Central Presidium said yes, and they were all honest in front of Brezhnev.
In the office of Chairman Lubyanka, Serov looked at his hands, which were slightly wrinkled. Of course, this is very normal. He was also aging, and he retracted his hands and put them in his pockets. The general political commissar is still very relaxed, time is on his side, and he can clearly feel that these old men need a long rest without saying a word. Every time a job is completed, it takes longer to recuperate.
Brezhnev's body is not good at all, it can only be described as stable. Having said that, which member of the presidium of the Central Committee is not sick? Even Sierbitsky, the best-looking Dnipro gangster, would go to see Marx in an instant if he was a little inattentive and a serious illness struck.
Crack! The door of the chairman's office was gently pushed open, and the tall little Valia walked in and locked the door. With the food brought from the cafeteria in hand, the excuse is ready-made, Comrade Chairman is old, so he can't work too hard. I need someone I can trust to help.
"I've eaten every dish, and there's absolutely no problem." Little Valiya put the plate on the desk, then sat directly on the chairman's lap, her beautiful eyes blinked provocatively, her face With a warm smile.
"Oh! If we poisoned us together, it would be a big scandal..." Sheloff thanked politely. For someone like him who always has the idea of making troublesome people want to harm me, seeing through other people's psychological activities can save money. Lots of trouble.
"Where are you going to touch? Eating hands are not honest..." Little Valia giggled, still did not get down, sat on her lap and watched the man gobble it. This way of eating is very manly!
"Can you put on your underwear in public?" Shi Shiran, the chief political commissar after dinner, pulled out his damp hands and pushed the plate forward, saying with a moral commanding height. The attitude of people is absolutely unacceptable to ordinary people.
But little Valya didn't think anything was wrong, she was used to this man who wanted to love the man from below all the time on the bed. This kind of hypocrite-like complaint is even more directly regarded as not heard, and he will take it off when he wears it, so it is better not to wear it.
After a while, the girl got rid of the sticky feeling below, and left the chairman's office with the platter. The day of doing nothing was like this again, and she wiped the sticky left hand. Sheloff sighed unethically, " The world needs a little prod, like Britain threatening to use a nuclear bomb to solve the problem.”
Of course, the premise is that the UK has to lose more. Given the UK's current wealth, if it loses an aircraft carrier, it may lose its mind and issue a nuclear threat. Anyway, it was bombing Argentina. From the perspective of the Soviet Union, it would be better if it really bombed.
It's not that they didn't bring them, but the British initially included two warships "Glorious" and "Waist Knife" carrying deep-water nuclear bombs into the British fleet participating in the Battle of the Falklands. But this aroused the concern of the British War Cabinet led by Margaret Thatcher at the time, and some members of the cabinet opposed sending these nuclear weapons to the battlefield for fear of causing accidents. They advocated delaying the departure of the two ships by thirty-six hours to give the military enough time to dispose of the nuclear weapons.
However, the British government finally decided to put these nuclear weapons on two aircraft carriers. The aircraft carriers "Sports God" and "Invincible" respectively carried some nuclear bombs to the theater. A very determined war, especially when it has already been won.
The news that the flagship of the Argentine fleet was sunk by a British nuclear submarine, in addition to causing a lot of infamy to the United Kingdom, also gave other countries a feeling that it should have been like this. You know, this year is 1982, and it has only been more than 20 years since the Sun Never Set Empire sat on four oceans and controlled Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. In the eyes of people in their 40s and 50s, England could never lose to Argentina, or even deserve a loss.
Compared with the celebration of victory in the United Kingdom, Argentina is very sad and angry. In the face of this situation, General Galtieri stood in the Capitol, appeared in front of all the supporters with tears in his eyes and said, "We can't wait another hundred and fifty years, the war will continue. It's about the pride of our entire nation and nation."
The relationship between Argentina and Chile was not good, because President Allende of Chile accepted the military guidance of the Soviet Union and became a rare army power in Latin America, equipped with the ground forces of the Warsaw Pact standard, and a complete set of Soviet air defense system. Argentina took the route of strengthening its air force and used it to preemptively attack Chile.
But because Chile and Argentina are on the border, the Soviet Union may intervene in the event of a war. General Galtieri cannot control the consequences, so he took a fancy to the Falkland Islands, which is more than 10,000 kilometers away from the United Kingdom. But he also did not expect the British to quickly assemble a large army to take revenge. It's too late to regret now, he can't step back at this time, and all the consequences will be discussed after the war is over.
"The Falklands are located on the continental shelf of Argentina and in the territorial waters of Argentina. It is 600 kilometers away from Argentina and 13,000 kilometers away from the British mainland. For 150 years, entire generations of Argentines have watched the rice flag fluttering in our country. On the territory, it is like our own bedroom, where other men are sleeping." General Galtieri roared in grief, "Now that the war has begun, I will not place my hopes on any country."
The Argentine Air Force, which has always been prepared for Chile, will join the war on the Falklands. Because of Chile's pro-Soviet relationship, this Argentine Air Force is much stronger than the Argentine Air Force in the original time and space.
"Don't you say you won't put your hopes on any country?" Holding Argentina's agricultural mutual aid agreement, Serov remembered that just an hour ago, he had seen General Galtieri's statement that he was going to fight to the death. This isn't an action to fight to the death, is it?
"Argentina absolutely exported a batch of our wheat and meat products at a low price!" Foreign Minister Gromyko shrugged. "The negotiation went well beyond expectations. It was almost a competition for us. This kind of negotiation is rare."
"Don't you want the Soviet Union to express its position and deter the UK?" Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov said coldly.
"Stop dreaming, Galtieri has a lot of blood debts in his hands, we can just give them some convenience, and let us support them publicly? Just relying on these agricultural contracts?" Serov snorted and commented noncommittally.
Others also nodded. Compared with the two American doglegs who were killed thousands of miles away, they were still more concerned about the upcoming October Revolution. The signatories of the Warsaw Pact were all sure to attend. It has been less than a week, and delegations from some friendly countries have appeared in Moscow. At this time, how could they pay attention to the Falklands War?
Two days later, the Argentine Air Force reconnaissance intelligence system found the British guided missile destroyer HMS Sheffield patrolling here. "Sheffield" is known as the "Pride of the British Fleet". It is the first batch of advanced warships of the Royal British Navy to achieve centralized control of power and weapon systems. where the offensive force is.
At the same time that the Argentine Air Force's "Super Ensign" attack aircraft formation flew in, the "Sheffield" destroyer was conducting a routine satellite communication report with the London headquarters. Due to the unsatisfactory electromagnetic compatibility of the warship, the defense radar system had a certain impact on the satellite communication signal. The communication officer requested the captain to turn off the long-range air warning radar to reduce the interference to the satellite communication. For a main destroyer, the long-range warning radar is tantamount to its own eyes and ears. When it is turned off, it is equivalent to falling into a state of blindness and deafness, which is extremely dangerous. However, because the Afghan navy has been unable to counterattack, the British army has achieved absolute sea control. Therefore, the captain of the "Sheffield" is full of confidence in the maritime safety of his own ships.
The "Super Ensign" attack crew suddenly jumped to 150 meters. At the same time, the airborne radar was activated and the target was quickly locked. In the blink of an eye, two "Flying Fish" anti-ship missiles jumped out and headed straight for the Sheffield.
The Flying Fish anti-ship missile was flying fast. At ten kilometers away from the Sheffield, the missile entered the search state, and the active radar on the missile began to search and quickly captured the target. At this time, the missile quickly dropped to the height of the two-meter wave top to implement sea-skimming maneuvering flight. It was not until the "Flying Fish" missile came within a five-kilometer visual distance of the Sheffield that the crew on duty discovered the danger and urgently reported to the captain. At this time, the "flying fish" only had six seconds of flight time left from the target.
At the same time, the British Vulcan bombers that bombed the Falklands were still refueling in the air. After the last aerial refueling, the two Vulcan bombers loaded with aerial bombs and anti-radar missiles would soon arrive over the Falklands.
"The Chileans have said that although the missiles are older, they can still kill people. If it weren't for the unity of the same Latin American countries, these Soviet anti-aircraft missiles would be used against us." One of the officers who served on the border with Chile said, "The local air base has been studying how to penetrate the defense for a long time."
At this time, the destroyer Sheffield was in the southern waters of the Falklands, and the entire destroyer was already on fire. Smoke billowing from the sea can be seen for dozens of kilometers nearby. A few minutes later, the bad news reached London again. The Vulcan bomber that bombed the Falklands was shot down by a hidden anti-aircraft missile on the Falklands. In one day, two consecutive bad news came, stunned the British people who were still immersed in sinking the flagship of the Argentine Navy two days ago.
Under the tragic impact of the Sheffield destroyer and the Vulcan bomber, the United Kingdom and Argentina did not make any major moves for a while in the next few days. The initiator of the war, Galtieri, was at a loss while celebrating the victory. This war seems more difficult to end.
