Chapter 794: Not Afraid of Americans
Looking at the scene on the deck, Thomas clenched his fists. Just now, with the pilot's eyes, he could almost see the helpless, frustrated and desperate look on the pilot's face when the plane turned upside down!
Although the search and rescue helicopter has taken off urgently, the most likely thing to be rescued is just a cold corpse. The plane will not float on the sea and will definitely sink.
"The Tomcat fleet is requesting to land. They are running low on fuel." The air traffic controller said to Thomas on the bridge.
"Okay, land in order." Thomas said coldly.
The Tomcat fleet was the last to land, which also meant that no more planes returned! Including the one that just failed to land, only 16 of their A-7 attack aircraft returned! 14 fighters were killed by small-caliber anti-aircraft guns! This is simply a shame for the US Navy! A huge maritime formation and an aircraft carrier costing hundreds of millions of dollars were defeated by some small-caliber anti-aircraft guns!

"It seems that we have underestimated the Argentines. What we have to face is not an Argentina armed only with our Western weapons, but an Argentina armed with Soviet weapons!"
The Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is the most common small-caliber anti-aircraft gun in the Soviet field forces. It is also the most ferocious firepower. It can be said that it was specially used by the Soviet Union to deal with Western armed helicopters. The Soviet side's attack aircraft happened to attack at ultra-low altitude and fell into their firepower circle!

"However, until the end of the battle, the Argentines did not use other weapons. It seems that the Soviet Union could not have delivered more weapons to Argentina in such a hurry. These self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are already the maximum support."
Harold shook his head. "Everyone, we are not facing the Argentines, but the Soviets, especially Andre! This guy is simply a devil! They are devils from hell! This time they took out self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to shoot our attack aircraft. Next time if we fly higher, they will definitely take out long-range missiles to shoot us. Maybe even SAM-10s!"
Thinking of how Andre had played him in his hands, Harold was still terrified. This guy was too calculating! Especially now, the Soviet aircraft carrier had not even appeared yet, but he had already dealt a heavy blow to his side!

"So what should we do?" Thomas asked.
"We cannot effectively bomb the Falkland Islands relying solely on our own strength. I suggest that we ask the White House for support. For example, we can send out strategic bombers to thoroughly bomb the Falkland Islands!" Harold said.
Like other countries, there is a strong competitive relationship between the US Navy and the Air Force. Now, Harold would rather put aside past grudges and send out the Air Force's strategic bombers to wipe out the Argentine forces on the Falkland Islands in one fell swoop. If they are all bombed to the ground, let's see how you can resist!

Although Harold wanted to ask the White House to deploy more aircraft carriers, which would show the strength of the navy, he also knew that the US military budget was extremely tight, especially now that it was not for the US to fight a war, but to help Britain. There were already strong voices of opposition in Parliament. And if more aircraft carriers were deployed, Parliament would definitely not agree. Therefore, he could only ask the Air Force for help!
If a few B-52s were sent over, the US Navy would not have to do anything else and would just have to wait to land on the Falkland Islands!
The huge US Navy, with the combined fleet of the entire European fleet, came to the South Atlantic with great momentum. All military experts were not optimistic about Argentina, but now, the first battle was shocking. The American aircraft carriers suffered a great loss in the Falkland Islands! More than a dozen aircraft were lost!
This news quickly spread all over the world. In Argentina, the panic that had once spread had disappeared. They could not only defeat the British Navy, but also the American Navy!

The Falkland Islands belong to Argentina! For the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, Argentina is willing to be the enemy of the entire Western world! Facts have proved that the West does not care about Argentina's interests at all! The Soviet Union is Argentina's good friend!
This kind of argument continued to spread in Argentina. Since it was abandoned by the entire Western world and became an enemy, the only way for Argentina to survive was to establish good relations with the Soviet Union!
In the Argentine capital, a banquet is underway to celebrate the victory.

"Mr. Muhammad, please convey my greetings to General Andre. It was his planning that enabled us to win this victory." Galtieri raised his glass and said to Muhammad.
After discussing countermeasures that day and reaching a series of agreements, Andre left, while Muhammad stayed behind to contact Argentina.
At that time, Galtieri still didn't understand something. His own fighter planes could not take off, and all the defense had to be handed over to a few self-propelled anti-aircraft guns airlifted from the Soviet Union. Was this really going to work?
Galtieri certainly knew that only fighter planes could gain air superiority, and that he should now use Mirage F1 fighter planes to fight the Americans for air superiority and have a good fight! However, his fighter planes were required to be hidden, and he had to rely on anti-aircraft guns for defense. Is this really possible?

The result surprised Galtieri greatly. As General Andre had predicted, the American fighter planes swooped down at ultra-low altitude to bomb his important bases. As a result, they ran right into the fire circle of the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns!
These self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were transported here not long ago, and for this purpose, a group of mercenaries were hired from Iraq to operate them. Although the cost was not small, the outcome was satisfactory.

"Mr. President, General Andre asked me to tell you that the current victory is only a small one, and the Americans will not accept defeat. The next battle will be even more difficult, and we must be prepared to make huge sacrifices. In fact, the Americans will not only attack the Falkland Islands, but will also send stealth fighters to bomb Argentina's capital and the presidential palace. Your safety is the most important. If something happens to you, Argentina may have to compromise." said Mhammad.
"Please rest assured, General Andre, I will learn from President Saddam's lesson. We will continue to enter and exit the presidential palace normally, but we are not inside the presidential palace. We came to the underground command center here through a secret passage. It is the safest place and can withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion." Galtieri said.

"Boom!" At this moment, the vibration caused by the explosion on the ground in the distance spread here, and the electric lights above the head shook.
