British capital, London.
"This is to start a war against us, Britain. We have no other way except to fight." The iron lady's voice is not high, but the meaning of every word is extremely profound.
"The Soviet side has already made a speech. They are not responsible for the submarine that suddenly attacked. They thought it was our fiction. The entire battle was initiated by the Argentine Navy and Air Force. Because our losses were too great, they found an excuse. That's it." Admiral John said: "They tried to cover up their ugly crimes, but they couldn't cover up."
Major General Wuhuad died in battle. At the last minute, he sank into the cold ocean with the Royal Ark. Although he was dead, he was attacked by Soviet supersonic anti-ship missiles. Everyone who survived. I remember.
In particular, the E-2 early warning aircraft clearly detected the launch of a large number of anti-ship missiles at the time. In addition to the Soviets who have this ability, is there anyone else
The British Navy has been beaten and disabled. This time it has caused tens of thousands of casualties. Originally, they had taken South Georgia Island. Everyone expected their triumph. But now, no one has reported this hope. The remaining fleet, no It is possible to complete the task of regaining Falkland Islands.
Has Britain failed
In this sense, it was a failure. However, Britain is absolutely unwilling to fail in such a way.
"The Soviets used anti-ship missiles to sneak attacks on our fleet, causing the deaths of tens of thousands of our officers and soldiers, and causing dozens of warships and ships to be sunk. This is a complete act of war, just like Pearl Harbor, without declaring war on us. , It launched a shameful sneak attack on us!" The Iron Lady's voice increased: "We must retaliate, we must declare war on the Soviet Union!"
The Iron Lady is extremely hostile to the Soviet Union. Her title of Iron Lady was derived from her hatred of the Soviet Union. Now, she said so, nothing less than an earthquake.
When the news of the fleet being defeated came, the entire cabinet was quite panicked. For them, it was the worst news, and it even meant the downfall of the cabinet and the British government.
Now, the iron lady mentioned a word, war.
In this case, does the UK have any other options? Only war!
Did the Soviets dared to attack Britain, thinking that Britain could not fight back
"Prime Minister, what do you think?" a cabinet member asked.
"Using our nuclear submarine to launch a strike against the Soviet Union!" Just after the words of the Iron Lady, the entire cabinet fell silent again, and no one spoke.
The words of Iron Lady carried a chill.
Nuclear submarines, of course, are ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Launching a strike against the Soviets is to launch a nuclear bomb attack. This is the only counterattack method for the United Kingdom.
These nuclear submarines are all aimed at Moscow. If they dare to launch a nuclear bomb attack on Moscow, then the whole world will fall into the shadow of a terrible nuclear war.
Nuclear deterrence means maintaining deterrence. It is not about launching a real nuclear strike. Perhaps the United States and the Soviet Union can also preemptively. In the first wave of attacks, they would kill the Soviets’ nuclear forces and strive to survive the nuclear war, but , Other countries simply do not have this ability.
The United States has a sufficient number of ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Using these ballistic missile nuclear submarines, the US Navy can destroy most of the Soviet Union's cities and strategic locations at any time. Even if some of the US Navy’s ballistic missile nuclear submarines were destroyed by the Soviet Union, they could still maintain their strategic deterrence capabilities.
Britain has long lost this confidence. Britain's goal is only to make a certain degree of contribution to NATO's nuclear deterrent. Once the war breaks out, as long as Britain still has a ballistic missile nuclear submarine, it can cause huge damage to the Soviet Union's Moscow.
The British Royal Navy’s strategic guiding ideology allows it to maintain its strategic nuclear deterrent force in a state where only one ballistic missile nuclear submarine is deployed on combat patrols. After repeated consultations, they finally started the construction of four determination-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines.
It was originally planned to order five ships, but the construction of the fifth ship was cancelled by the Labor Government at the time.
These nuclear submarines belong to the first generation of ballistic missile nuclear submarines. The technology is British. However, the nuclear bombs above are directly purchased from the North Star of the United States. The British feel that their development is not cost-effective, so it is enough to buy the Americans Up.
Now, Britain has reached a dangerous juncture. Their navy was destroyed by anti-ship missiles launched by the Soviets. Therefore, Britain must retaliate. The target of their retaliation is definitely not Argentina, but the Soviets behind it!
Since the Soviets dared to destroy their fleet, is there any way for Britain to retreat
"We have no way to retreat." Iron Lady said: "As long as we take a step back, it is an abyss. We can only move forward and forward, so that there will be hope!"
The people present still did not recall from the horror. The Iron Lady continued: "Our target of attack is not Moscow, but the Soviets’ Northern Fleet Base. We have lost as many warships as they are. They don’t admit that they fired missiles to destroy it, so we don’t admit it either!"
The Iron Lady has already thought that Britain cannot retreat. If Britain takes a step back and bears this breath, then the entire British faith will collapse. If you attack Moscow, it will put the world in an endless situation. It is better to attack their naval fleet first. If the Soviets dare to challenge London, then they will bomb Moscow again!
Can the UK refund
"We were not afraid of the military occupation of all of Europe, because we had a strong navy and we had a logistical supply line, but now we in Britain have lost the backbone of our country, and we must make the enemy pay the same price!"
"However, the nuclear key to our Polaris missile is in the hands of the Americans." Admiral John said.
Britain’s only nuclear power lies in the hands of the navy, and the only nuclear power of the navy is these Polaris missiles. These missiles are bought directly from the United States. Although they are kept in submarines, they are constantly patrolling. , The nuclear key is in the hands of the Americans. They cannot use nuclear weapons without the consent of the United States, and now President Carter has not gone out. It is absolutely impossible to get him to agree to launch a nuclear strike by himself.
"Really?" Iron Lady said: "I think this is not a problem at all. Please don't embarrass me with such a question."
That's just an authorization. The British Navy has been in charge of nuclear bombs for so many years, hasn't it found a way to avoid authorization? Sure, this is not a problem at all.
After the launch, Britain will never admit it! (End of this chapter)
