Rebirth of the Tech Madman

As long as there are patrons who are willing to provide resources to set up a stage, there will never be a shortage of people willing to join in the show, and Tang Huan is playing like this now. The net is worthy of your collection. .

Perez de Cuellar sent two accompanying observers. Tang Huan took the title of humanitarian special envoy to observe and report on the situation in conflict areas, and he was well-known for this trip. Rice was left at the UN headquarters Responsible for contacting people.

Hearing that Tang Huan and Ted Turner were going to personally go to the Falklands to deal with the detention of two war journalists, the American media immediately became overwhelmed. The generous boss was so touching.

So when Tang Huan was recruiting members of the press corps for this trip, various media outlets, including those in Europe and the United States, signed up enthusiastically, and it was almost overwhelmed.

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

Those who like to watch the excitement will naturally be tired of it. When the war situation began to heat up rapidly, both Argentina and the United Kingdom responded with an unwelcome attitude to this nondescript UN observer team. If you don’t, then you’re looking for death, don’t blame us.”

...

As early as March 19, when the first Argentines landed on South Georgia Island, set up camp and hoisted the Argentine flag, the British Navy icebreaker HMS Endurance, carrying a platoon of Royal Marines, attempted to go to the site. Demolish the camp and expel the Argentines.

But when it was learned that the Argentine Navy dispatched the 5,000-ton transport ship Xishiwan. After transporting the past 100 soldiers, the British had to return without success.

When Argentina officially attacked the Falklands on April 2. The British on the island only carried out war mobilization symbolically. He surrendered the next day.

The disadvantages of the British in the early days of the war can be said to be exposed at a glance.

Because of this, the effective war mobilization carried out by the United Kingdom subsequently attracted the attention of the world

During the whole operation, there were forty-three British merchant ships, namely ;;trade - call from trade. Serve or resupply a task force.

Container ships and tankers that provide fuel supplies, etc. A logistics line of 8,000 nautical miles from the United Kingdom to the South Atlantic Ocean was formed.

This kind of war mobilization ability, originally in the military education of Chinese universities in time and space, must be included in the analysis of battle cases, and it is a special book.

The United Kingdom named the code name of this counter-offensive military operation ; - common combat.

When its task force departed from the United Kingdom, the headline on the cover of the American Newsweek magazine was the ;; - The Empire Strikes Back, apparently using the name of the Star Wars movie released in 1980 , with a double entendre as a metaphor for the British Empire.

This kind of intriguing, as long as you distinguish it a little, you can understand the meaning of watching the excitement.

You have to save face by yourself. At this time, the patriotic enthusiasm of the British people is high, which also transfers social conflicts. The victory of the government and the army is self-evident.

mid-April. The United Kingdom completed the establishment of an offensive base on Ascension Island, a British overseas territory in the South Atlantic, and the official confrontation between the two sides of the war began.

The first step for the UK is to recover South Georgia Island and the South Sandwich Islands. This place is located in the east of the Falklands, about 1,300 kilometers away. into one,

However, this operation code-named ;paraquet - Operation Little Parrot did not go smoothly at the beginning. Due to bad weather, the first landing originally scheduled for April 21 had to be cancelled. To make matters worse, a helicopter crashed in thick fog.

On April 23, when the British army planned to continue their operations, they discovered the Argentine submarine Santa Fe, which was about to attack.

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

As a result, the Santa Fe's sneak attack failed, and instead was beaten by the opponents. The various weapons on the British helicopters, frigates, and destroyers set fire together and sank it on April 25. The Afghan army had to abandon the ship and land, and surrendered to the British army at a breakwater on South Georgia Island.

Soon, the Argentine defenders on South Georgia Island surrendered without a fight, and the British army recovered South Georgia Island.

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher immediately released the good news to the media, vividly describing it as celebration with the world.

After the battle ended, the center of firefighting naturally switched to the main battlefield, Falkland Island, which also meant that the war escalated accordingly.

You must know that before this, the Argentine military used civil aviation Boeing 707 passenger planes to track and detect the British fleet. Several of them were intercepted by Falcon fighter jets outside the blockade area, but they were not attacked.

But this restraint no longer exists.

On May 1, the British army launched a series of five air strikes by the Royal Air Force's Vulcan bombers at the airport in Port Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands.

From Widiawick Air Force Base on Ascension Island, the rear base of the British army in this war, to Falkland Island, the one-way flight distance needs more than 6,000 kilometers, and the Vulcan bomber can fly more than 4,100 kilometers at most, plus a full load of ammunition At that time, the fuselage weighed 77,000 kilograms, which required at least 4 aerial refuelings to complete the bombing mission.

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

Even though it was so hard work, the results were not ideal. It only hit the runway once, and the ground crew of the Argentine Air Force restored the runway to the standard for the C-130 transport aircraft to take off and land within 24 hours. The creation of fake craters on the Internet made Britain misjudge the results of the battle.

However, the air strike code-named Operation Black Buck also made the Argentine side deeply afraid. So the Mirage 3 fighter jets were transferred to airports in the north far away from the conflict zone to undertake air defense missions including the capital Buenos Aires. To prevent British bombers from attacking the home cities.

Also on May 1st. Argentina, which judged that the British army had landed on the Falkland Islands, launched the first large-scale attack consisting of 36 aircraft on the British army.

In fact, although the shortest distance between Falklands and Argentina is about 500 kilometers, its geographical advantage is not as great as imagined.

There are three small airports on the Falkland Islands, the longest and most complete runway is only in the capital, Port Stanley. However, the runway at Stanley Airport is still not long enough for jet fighters to take off and land.

so. The Argentine Air Force must attack from the mainland. This has seriously affected its strike range, the frequency of combat air patrols, and its ability to provide close support, and its aircraft's time in the air in the Falklands has thus been shortened.

As for the Argentine Navy, from the initial stage of the war. It was wise to decide that most ships would avoid engagements with the Royal Navy.

Therefore, in the air battle that took place in the waters surrounding the Falkland Islands, it is hard to say which side is more dominant, Argentina or the United Kingdom.

And Tang Huan and his party arrived in Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital opposite the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, on May 1, the day when the war was in full swing.

Along the way, two reporters from Hong Kong Media Asia TV became the focus. Gai is so advanced that people drool because of the equipment he carries, such as the shoulder-mounted camera among them.

Following the home video recorder, Tang Huan extended his tentacles into the professional field of TV broadcasting. One step earlier than Sony and Panasonic's vhs-m, Tang Huan launched s-vhs. Each video tape can record 4 hours of programs.

There is no doubt that this alone will give him an advantage in this news gathering operation.

Seeing such a good thing, Ted Turner was anxious at the time, pulled Tang Huan and asked directly, Why didn't you introduce such advanced equipment earlier.

It takes time to go from the R\u0026D center to the production plant. As a steady person like me, of course I can't hype up new products. Don't worry, this equipment can be used casually by CNN. , Panasonic's tricky competition, there is no need to put it on the table.

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

Another thing that everyone is interested in is the Fangyuan laptop, the spy device used by Argentina to find an excuse to imprison two CNN war correspondents.

This time I finally saw the true face of Lushan Mountain, which made the curious ones fulfill their wishes.

With so much fun hunting, the long and tense journey is not so difficult.

The ones who came to pick Tang Huan were Lu Xiaohu and Zheng Gang. They arrived in South America urgently via Europe to supervise the preparation of the super luxury ocean cruise ship Twin.

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

No way, in the past month, this word has become so popular in the world that they instinctively shouted it immediately to describe the luxurious ocean cruise ship in front of them.

Are we going to Falkanda on this big ship? Someone asked excitedly, and after getting a definite answer, he couldn't help but praise repeatedly, This operation is so happy, I thought it would be very hard, but I didn't expect First, I took a luxury private jet and flew comfortably from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, and now I want to enjoy a luxury cruise to the final destination.”

Such a joyful atmosphere infected almost everyone, but the news of the fierce air battle in the Falklands immediately made everyone serious again.

There is no mediocrity here, Tang Huan takes the stage, and other people's singing is true, but there must be a role with enough weight to appear on the stage.

The current situation is so severe that even the most luxurious material comforts cannot offset the dangers faced.

According to Tang Huan's idea, the whole team set off on the morning of May 2 after a short rest.

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

The others just watched the quarrel between the nephew and uncle without expressing their opinions.

In fact, people who can speak, including the two UN observers and Ted Turner, are secretly on the side of Han Anyuan. Red-eyed, if this is accidentally injured, there is no reason to go.

Tang Huan spoke dryly. Unbuttoning the collar of his shirt, he took a few steps back and forth irritably. Finally, he stood on a high place and said: Everyone, I think you all know the meaning of this trip, and you must have your own professional philosophy of journalism when you choose to be war reporters. Yes, the current situation is indeed dangerous, but this Can it be a reason for us to back down? Keep going, or stop moving forward. You decide!

As Tang Huan said. Since everyone has chosen to be a war correspondent, there must have been an assessment of risk tolerance.

In the original time and space, Iraq, Syria and other Middle East regions were full of gunpowder. But Western journalists are still rushing there in an endless stream. It’s nothing more than that, although there are risks in it, it also contains great benefits. To use the old Chinese saying wealth and wealth are found in danger, the mystery is fully explained.

Now these reporters were instigated by Tang Huanyi, and immediately shouted: Tang, a billionaire like you is not afraid, how can we back down. Besides, this is our job.

Then follow what I said and set off tomorrow morning. Tang Huan made a firm gesture, Of course, the necessary caution is also indispensable. Our Gemini will first announce in the UK the range of 200 nautical miles around the Falkland Islands. Observe carefully outside the no-fly zone.

In this way, under the full push of Tang Huan, the Gemini sailed from Montevideo to the war-torn Falklands on the morning of May 2.

In the middle, they even received a piece of news that Peruvian President Fernando Belande Tri proposed a peace plan, which made many reporters mutter to themselves, there will be no news to catch.

Tang Huan did not fool everyone. The Gemini is currently sailing in a non-blockade area 200 nautical miles away from the Falkland Islands, but he secretly issued an order to arrive at 55 degrees 24 minutes south latitude and 61 degrees west longitude around 6 o'clock in the afternoon. 32 points position, but would rather be late than early into the waters.

Datang, what are we doing here? Lu Xiaohu looked at the chart and asked suspiciously.

Give us a chance, and give others a chance, it depends on whether God is willing to make this happen. Tang Huan replied leisurely, holding a coffee cup.

...

The Argentine Navy's intention to avoid the British Royal Navy is a matter of helplessness and self-esteem.

In order to save face, the cruiser General Belgrano, with two escorting destroyers, the Good Rock and the Butchar, departed for patrol on April 26, and on April 29, they arrived in the area south of the Falkland Islands.

It's just that this small fleet would not have thought that even though they retreated, bad luck still came to their heads.

On April 30th, it was discovered by the British Royal Navy's nuclear-powered attack submarine HMS Conqueror. The captain of the HMS Conqueror, Lieutenant Colonel River Brown, immediately reported this information to the fleet commander, Rear Admiral Woodward.

At this time, these Argentine ships had left the 200 nautical mile blockade of the Falkland Islands announced by the United Kingdom, but it would be ridiculous to expect the enemy to be kind. The British army still regarded them as a threat and did not intend to let them go.

After Rear Admiral Woodward reported to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister consulted the cabinet. After intense debate and discussion, the cabinet agreed to sink a capital ship to severely damage the enemy's popular support 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 HMS Conqueror submarine commanded by the Royal Navy entered the attack position.

Although equipped with tiger fish torpedoes, its reliability is only 40%. So the Conqueror launched three Type 8 Type 4 torpedoes from World War II, each with an 800-pound warhead.

Two of the torpedoes hit the cruiser General Belgrano, one hit the armor belt 15 meters behind the bow, so no casualties were caused, but the other hit three-quarters of the ship's hull, resulting in wear. Exploded near the mechanical room and blasted up through the two-story dining room and entertainment room.

Although the explosion did not cause a fire, it quickly filled the ship with thick smoke and, more importantly, damaged the ship's electrical equipment, making it impossible to send out a radio distress signal.

Due to the power outage, a large amount of sea water poured into the ship through the gap created by the torpedo, but the water could not be pumped away, and the ship began to sink.

At 4:24 p.m., the captain, Captain Bonso, ordered to abandon the ship, and the crew began to escape in lifeboats.

As for the two escort ships of the cruiser General Belgrano, the Good Rock and the Bucha, they have not yet discovered the dangerous situation of the main ship, and continue westward.

The climate of the Falklands region is a cold, windy and humid maritime climate, with daily weather changes, and don't forget that the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are just opposite.

Therefore, the lifeboats that disembarked from the cruiser General Belgrano faced the severe weather of cold, strong winds and huge waves, and many lifeboats were washed away. danger of death.

Seven or eight hundred people, although lucky enough to escape the catastrophe of the war, quickly fell into pessimism and despair in this boundless ocean.

...

Adhering to the principle of safety first, the Gemini entered the target sea area two hours later than Tang Huan planned at 6:00 pm. Unknowingly, the reporters were shocked by the scene in front of them and rushed to the Deck to watch.

Tang Huan was equally astonished. Although he claimed to be well-informed with his many memories, most of them were literary plays, which had the full impact of the fighting in front of him.

With the light, you can faintly see the lifeboats dotted on the sea, and the helpless struggle of the weak life makes everyone feel the cruelty of war and the magnificence of nature.

What should we do, should we save them? Someone asked at a loss.

Nonsense, I'm the world's most benevolent person. Now that I've met them all, I can't help them. Tang Huan murmured to himself while commanding his subordinates, Maybe among the hundreds of people, there is a certain Argentine footballer. Famous relatives. (To be continued. (.))
