Chapter 776 Imported Mirage F1

The Argentines' greatest deterrent weapon is the combination of Super Etendard and Exocet. In the last battle, this combination exerted its greatest power. A $200,000 missile destroyed a warship worth over 100 million yuan. It was simply too cost-effective!

This attack also made the French Exocet missile famous. For a time, many countries applied to France to purchase it. The French were naturally very welcoming and then doubled the price, but the buyers still did not frown.

And the British will not allow such threats to continue! For example, now, the British are not only passively retreating, leaving the attack range of the Super Etendard, but also actively landing and killing all the Argentine Super Etendard fighters!

Without a carrier aircraft, the Exocet missile cannot be launched! Argentina only has a few Super Etendard fighters!

The British people regained their confidence and believed that they would be able to win the final victory.

The sea was temporarily calm for a few days, but everyone knew that this was just a moment of calm before the storm.

Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

The atmosphere in the presidential palace was very depressing. Just now, Galtieri had been roaring for a full half hour, but his roar was useless. If his roar could kill the enemy, then he would be the most powerful infrasonic weapon in the world.

Galtieri was just venting his anger. This was the largest cruiser in his navy! Before the arrival of the aircraft carrier, this warship had always been the flagship of the Argentine Navy!

The cruiser "General Belgrano" was originally named "Phoenix City". It belongs to the Brooklyn class cruiser and was built during World War II. It has a full load displacement of 12,000 tons and is equipped with 5 triple 152mm main guns. In World War II, this warship was in the limelight. It was General MacArthur's flagship and rushed out of the port unscathed during the Pearl Harbor attack. Throughout World War II, this warship was repeatedly damaged, hit by torpedoes, eaten by shells, and even visited by Japan's Kamikaze Special Attack Force, but just like its name "Phoenix", it survived like an immortal bird. This warship has always been regarded as a very auspicious symbol. In 1950, this warship was retired and sold to Argentina by the United States for $1.2 million. Then it was modified. As it is now, the warship is equipped with anti-aircraft missiles. It is completely a modern heavy warship! .

There are thousands of people on this warship, but so far only more than 700 people have been rescued, and the rest are in danger.

How could Galtieri not be angry! Then, news came that Stanley Air Force Base was bombed and the Super Etendard was turned into scrap metal, which made Galtieri even more angry!

Damn it! Originally, he wanted to order his fighter planes to take off again and launch a retaliatory counterattack, but now? There is no weapon to fight back!

After being furious, Galtieri sat back in his seat, his eyes a little blurry. After all, he was nearly sixty years old.

"General, if we want to take revenge on the British, we need new aircraft." Seeing that Galtieri had calmed down, Navy Commander Anaya said.

The sinking of the cruiser demonstrated the weakness of the Argentine navy's anti-submarine capability. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, all the Argentine Navy's warships returned to the port and did not continue to cruise at sea, especially their own aircraft carrier, which also retreated to the port on May 25th.

This made Anaya extremely depressed. In this situation, their air force needed to be restored as soon as possible!

Although Argentina obtained the Super Hornet helicopter with the help of arms dealer Muhammad, which can also launch Exocet missiles, the British aircraft carrier formation has been far away from the Falkland Islands, and the helicopter's endurance is limited, so it is impossible to launch a strike! The arrival of this helicopter is more convenient for them to use modern sonar equipment.

We need a new carrier aircraft! If we have a Super Etendard fighter of the same model, that would be the best! But now it seems that is absolutely impossible.

"Ananya, what new aircraft do you think we need?" Galtieri said to Ananya with red eyes.

"Iraq has another fighter jet that can meet our needs, the Mirage F1. We can buy 20 of them from Iraq," Anaya said. "This aircraft is also a French aircraft, and its flight characteristics are very similar to the Super Etendard. Our pilots will be able to adapt to flying this aircraft after a short training. If it really doesn't work, even if we hire Iraqi pilots, we must restore our attack capability as soon as possible!"

Iraq! Now, the only country Argentina can rely on is Iraq! Iraq's Mirage F1 does not use the common Mirage Company's advanced structure, but the conventional fighter structure. These two fighters are from the same era, and the cockpits are almost the same, so it is not difficult to get started.

Buy Mirage F1 from Iraq! Anaya's words gave Galtieri renewed confidence. If there were really 20 Mirage F1s, there would be no suspense in this naval battle.

But... purchasing fighter jets is definitely a huge expense, which is not comparable to purchasing a few missiles in the past. Can the Argentine treasury provide so much funds to the Ministry of Defense?

"How much did the Iraqis offer?" Galtieri asked.

"Thirty million US dollars per plane, so if there are twenty planes, that would be six hundred million US dollars," Anaya said.

Thirty million dollars! Hearing this, Galtieri felt like vomiting blood. Damn, the Iraqis are too good at asking prices! Now, the latest third-generation aircraft is also this price. The normal price of these second-hand Mirage F1s is about ten million dollars. These black-hearted Middle Eastern people!

"If we don't have enough funds, the Iraqis said that their original plan would still work," Anaya continued.

The original proposal was, of course, to jointly develop the oil around the Falkland Islands. Hearing this, Galtieri clenched his fist and said, "No, we will not give away the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands that we fought for with our blood. Our treasury can still pay for the expenses this time!"

Galtieri certainly knew that the Soviet Union was behind Iraq, and there was absolutely no compromise on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands! Moreover, if they took over the Falkland Islands and jointly developed them with Western oil companies, they could restore their relationship with the Western world. Wouldn't that be better?

Deep down, Galtieri still didn't trust the East.
