As long as there are financial backers who are willing to provide resources to set up the stage, there is never a shortage of people who are willing to support and perform. Tang Huan is playing this way now.

Perez de Quelialyar sent two followers, Tang Huan, with the title of humanitarian envoy to observe and report the situation in the conflict areas, was considered a famous division for this trip, while Rice was left at the United Nations Headquarters to be responsible for the contact person.

When I heard that Tang Huan and Ted Turner were going to the battle frontline of Horse Island in person to deal with the issue of two war correspondents being detained, the American media was instantly excited. What a righteous boss, it was so touching.

So when Tang Huan recruited members of the press team for this tour, various media including Europe and the United States actively signed up, which was a big hit.

When Silicon Valley One was about to take off at the New York Airport and rushed to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, hundreds of reporters stood at the apron to see him off, and all mainstream media in Europe and the United States conducted a live broadcast on the entire process.

Some people like to watch the fun, but some are naturally frustrated. As the war situation began to heat up rapidly, Argentina and the United Kingdom both discomfort the inappropriate United Nations Observation Mission, just said clearly, "If you are injured by accident, you are seeking death by yourself. Don't blame us."

...

As early as March 19, when the first Argentinians landed on South Georgia Island, established camps and raised the Argentine flag, the British Navy Perseverance icebreaker carried a platoon of the Royal Marines to try to go there to demolish the camps and expel the Argentines.

But when the Argentine Navy was informed that the 5,000-ton transport ship, the Hice Bay, transported 100 soldiers, the British had to return without success.

When Argentina officially attacked the Cambridge Island on April 2, the British on the island only mobilized the war symbolically and surrendered the next day.

The British were beyond the reach of their disadvantages in the early days of the war. They were exposed at a glance.

Because of this, the effective war mobilization that Britain subsequently carried out was noticed by the world

During the entire operation, forty-three British merchant ships, namely "shipstainenfromtrade" - "self-trade recruitment", served or resupply to the task force.

Container ships and tankers that provide fuel supplies and other materials formed an 8,000-nautical-mile logistics line from the UK to the South Atlantic Ocean.

This kind of war mobilization ability is originally in the military education of Chinese universities in time and space. It is necessary to write a lot in the analysis of war cases.

The British codenamed the counterattack military operation "operation corporate" - "joint combat". When its task force set off from Britain, the cover of the American Newsweek magazine "Theempirest Day Kesback" - "Empire Counterattack". It obviously used the name of the Star Wars movie released in 1980, and compared the British Empire with a pun.

This kind of intriguing thing is that with a little discernment, you can understand the meaning of watching the fun.

Face has to be made by oneself. At this time, the British were in high patriotism and also diverted social conflicts. The victory of the government and the army was self-evident.

In mid-April, the British completed the establishment of the offensive base in Ascension Island, the British overseas territory of the South Atlantic. The formal confrontation between the two sides of the war began.

The first step in the UK is to recover South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. This place is located in the east of the Cavaliers Island, with a distance of about 1,300 kilometers. The former has an area of ​​about 3,500 square kilometers and the latter has an area of ​​about 300 square kilometers. It is almost integrated with the Cavaliers Island in geopolis.

However, this operation codenamed "operationparaquet" - "Little Parrot Operation" was not smooth in the early stage. Due to the bad weather, the first landing was originally scheduled to be on April 21, and it had to be cancelled. What's even more unlucky is that a helicopter crashed in thick fog.

On April 23, when the British army was planning to continue operations, they discovered the Argentine submarine San Fe that was intended to attack.

It has to be said that the Santa Fe was reckless. It did not collect enough information before the operation, and did not expect that it actually encountered a British fleet.

As a result, the Santa Fe failed to attack and was beaten by the opponent. The British helicopters, frigates, and various weapons on the destroyer gathered fire together and sank them on April 25. The Argentina had to abandon the ship and landed and surrendered to the British army on a breakwater on South Georgia Island.

Soon, the Argentine defenders on South Georgia surrendered without fighting, and the British army then recovered South Georgia.

Prime Minister Thatcher immediately sent good news to the media, vividly describing it as "celebrating with the world."

After the battle, the firefighting center will naturally switch to the main battlefield of Horse Island, which also means that the war will escalate.

You should know that before this, the Argentine military used civil aviation Boeing 707 passenger plane to track and reconnaise the British fleet, and several times were intercepted by Falcon fighters outside the blockade area, but were not attacked.

But this restraint no longer exists.

On May 1, the British army launched a five-time raid of the Royal Air Force's Vulcan bomber group at the airport in Port Stanley, the capital of the Island.

From the Widyawick Air Force Base on Ascension Island, the British rear base of the war, to the Cambridge Island, the one-way flight distance is more than 6,000 kilometers, while the Vulcan bomber can fly up to 4,100 kilometers. In addition, the fuselage weighs 77,000 kilograms when fully loaded with ammunition, resulting in at least 4 aerial refueling required to complete the bombing mission.

In this way, the British army set the longest-distance bombing record in history, which took 16 hours to raid and had a round trip of more than 12,500 kilometers.

Even though it was so hard, the results were not ideal. The Argentine Air Force ground crew returned the runway to the standard that can be used for C-130 transport aircraft to take off and land within 24 hours, and even used sand and paint to create fake craters on the runway and the ground, causing the UK to misjudgment the results.

However, this air strike code-named "Black Buck Operation" also made Argentina deeply afraid, so he transferred the Phantom 3 fighter to an airport far from the conflict zone in the north to undertake air defense missions including the capital Buenos Aires to prevent British bombers from launching attacks on local cities.

On May 1st, Argentina, which judged that the British army had landed on the Cabernet Island, launched the first large-scale attack of 36 aircraft on the British army.

In fact, although the closest distance from Argentina is about 500 kilometers, its geographical advantage is not as great as imagined.

The Island of Horse Island has three small airports, with the longest and most complete runway only in the capital Port Stanley. However, the runway length of the Stanley Airport is still not enough to allow jet fighter jets to take off and land.

Therefore, the Argentine Air Force must take off from its homeland to attack, which seriously affects its strike range, frequency of combat air patrols, and ability to provide close contact support. The air stagnation time of its aircraft on the Cambridge Island has been shortened.

As for the Argentine Navy, it was wise to decide from the very beginning of the war that most ships avoided confrontation with the Royal Navy.

Therefore, it is hard to say which side is more dominant in the air battles around the island of Falkland.

On May 1st, when the war was in full swing, Tang Huan and his group arrived in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, opposite Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

Along the way, two reporters from Hong Kong Huanya TV became the focus because of the equipment they carried. They were so advanced that they made people drool, such as the shoulder-mounted cameras.

Following the home video recorder, Tang Huan extended his tentacles into the professional field of television broadcasting, one step ahead of Sony's betacam and Panasonic's vhs-m, and launched S-VHS, which can record 4 hours of programs per box of videotapes.

There is no doubt that this alone can gain an advantage in this news interview.

Seeing such a good thing, Ted Turner was anxious at the time and pulled Tang Huanzhi to ask, "Why don't you introduce such advanced equipment earlier?"

"It also takes time from a R&D center to a production factory. Of course, I am a steady person, of course I can't hype new products randomly. Don't worry, this device can be used at will." Tang Huan explained with a haha ​​that there is no need to put it on the table for those competitions with Sony and Panasonic.

With Tang Huan's clear guarantee, Ted Turner gave up in disappointment.

Another thing that everyone is interested in is the "spy equipment" of two war correspondents from Cable Television News Network - Fangyuan laptop.

This time I finally saw the true face of Mount Lu, which made the curious people fulfill their wishes.

With so much fun in hunting, the long and tense journey is not that difficult to get over.

The people who came to pick up Tang Huan were Lu Xiaohu and Zheng Gang. They arrived in South America urgently through Europe to urge the preparations of the super luxury ocean-going cruise ship "Temini".

When everyone saw such a luxurious sea city, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Titanic!"

There is no way, in the past month, this word has become so popular in the world that they instinctively shouted it out as soon as possible to describe the luxurious ocean cruise ship in front of them.

"Are we going to Ma Island on this big ship?" Someone asked excitedly. After receiving a confirmed reply, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This operation was so happy. I thought it would be very hard, but I didn't expect that I would take a luxury private plane and comfortably flew from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere. Now I have to enjoy the luxury cruise to my final destination."

Such a joyful atmosphere almost infected everyone, but the news of a fierce air battle in the Cabernet Island area that came immediately made everyone feel serious again.

There is no mediocre talent here, and Tang Huan sets up the stage, so it is true that others sing operas, but they also need to have a strong role to appear.

The current situation is so serious that no matter how luxurious the material enjoyment is, it cannot offset the dangers faced.

According to Tang Huan's idea, the entire team took a break and set off on the morning of May 2.

But Han Anyuan clearly opposed his nephew's decision, believing that it was too dangerous.

The others just watched the nephew and uncle arguing and did not express their opinions.

In fact, those who can speak, including the two UN observers and Ted Turner, all stood secretly on Han Anyuan's side. After all, Argentina and the United Kingdom did not like their team, and now both sides are already jealous. If they are injured by accident, there is no place to deal with them.

Tang Huan, who was dry-mouthed, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and walked back and forth a few steps back and forth a little annoyed. Finally, he stood at a high place and said, "Everyone. I think you know the meaning of this trip. And you chose to be a war correspondent, and you must also have the journalism professional philosophy you insist on. Yes, the current situation is indeed dangerous, but can this be a reason for us to retreat? Or hold on or keep going, you decide!"

As Tang Huan said, since everyone chooses to be a war correspondent, there must be a risk tolerance assessment.

Originally, in time and space, there was constant smoke of gunpowder in the Middle East, such as Iraq and Syria, but Western journalists were still rushing there in a steady stream. It was nothing more than that there were risks, but they also contained great benefits. With the old saying of China, "Looking for wealth and honor in danger", it fully expressed the mystery.

Now that these reporters were instigated by Tang Huan, they immediately shouted: "Tang, you are not afraid of billionaires like you. How could we retreat? Besides, this is our job."

"Then let me follow what I said and set off tomorrow morning." Tang Huan made a firm gesture, "Of course, necessary caution is indispensable. Our Gemini will first observe carefully outside the restricted area of ​​200 nautical miles around the British Announcement of the Malay Island."

In this way, with Tang Huan's full push, the Gemini sailed from Montevideo to the war-torn Island on the morning of May 2.

Midway through, they even received a news, and Peruvian President Fernando Berland Terry proposed another peace plan, which made many reporters murmur, "There will be no news to catch."

Tang Huan did not fool everyone. The Gemini is currently sailing in a non-blocking area 200 nautical miles away from the Cambodia Island. However, he secretly issued an order and arrived at the 55 degrees and 24 minutes south latitude and 61 degrees and 32 minutes west longitude, but he would rather go to the sea area later than enter early.

"Dang Dynasty, what are we doing here?" Lu Xiaohu looked at the chart and asked in confusion.

"Give us a chance and others a chance, it depends on whether God is willing to give this fate." Tang Huan answered leisurely with a coffee cup.

...

It is a helpless and self-esteem that the Argentine Navy intends to avoid the British Royal Navy.

In order to save face, the cruiser General Belgrano, with two escorted destroyers - the Hoshi and the Butcha, left the port to patrol on April 26, and on April 29, they arrived at the area south of the Cabernet Island.

However, this small fleet would not have thought that even if they retreated, bad luck would still come to their heads.

On April 30, he was discovered by the Royal Navy nuclear-powered attack submarine Conqueror. Captain Lieutenant Colonel Reif Brown immediately reported the information to the fleet commander Major General Woodward.

At this time, these Argentine ships had left the 200-nautical mile blockade of the British island of Falkland, but it was ridiculous to expect the enemy to be kind, and the British army still regarded it as a threat and did not intend to let them go.

After Major General Woodward reported to British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher, the Prime Minister consulted the cabinet. After fierce debate and discussion, the cabinet agreed to sink a main ship to severely sank the enemy's people's hearts and morale. Therefore, the Prime Minister authorized the Conqueror to launch an attack.

When this series of procedures was completed, at 3:57 pm on May 2, the Conqueror submarine commanded by the Royal Navy entered the attack position.

Although equipped with tiger torpedoes, their reliability is only 40%. So the Conqueror fired three World War II-era Type 8 torpedoes with 800 pounds each.

Two of the torpedoes hit the cruiser General Belgrano, one hit the armored belt 15 meters behind the bow, so there was no casualties, but the other hit three-quarters of the hull, which penetrated into the near mechanical room and exploded, and blasted upwards through the two floors of the restaurant and entertainment room.

Although the explosion did not cause a fire, it quickly filled the ship with thick smoke. What's more serious is that it damaged the power equipment on the ship, making it unable to send a radio call for help.

Due to the power interruption, a large amount of sea water poured into the ship from the gap caused by torpedoes, but it was unable to pump the water away, and the ship began to sink immediately.

At 4:24 pm, Captain Navy Colonel Bonso ordered the abandonment of the ship, so the crew began to escape on a lifeboat.

As for the two escort ships of the General Belgrano cruiser - Haoshi and Bucha, the main ship has not yet discovered the dangerous situation and continue to travel westward.

The climate in the Horse Island area is a cold, windy and humid marine climate, with variable daily weather. Don’t forget that the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are just the opposite.

Therefore, many of the lifeboats that came down from the cruiser General Belgrano were washed away in the face of the cold, strong winds and huge waves. As the sky gradually darkened, they still had to face the danger of being frozen to death.

Although the number of people of seven or eight hundred escaped the disaster of war by luck, they quickly fell into pessimism and despair in this vast ocean.

...

Adhering to the principle of "safety first", the Gemini was two hours later than Tang Huan's planned 6 o'clock in the evening. When they entered the target sea area, the reporters were shocked by the scene in front of them and rushed to the deck to watch.

Tang Huan was also very surprised. Although he was known for his knowledge with many memories, most of them were literary dramas, which had the impact of the martial arts fighting in front of him.

With the light, you can vaguely see the lifeboats on the sea. The powerless struggle of the weak life makes everyone feel the cruelty of war and the majesty of nature.

"What should we do? Do we want to save them?" someone asked at a loss.

"Nonsense, I am a super charitable man in the world. Since I have met you, can you still be killed and not saved?" Tang Huan muttered to his heart while commanding the headquarters, "Maybe there is a relative of an Argentine football celebrity among these hundreds of people."
