Chapter 221: The conflict escalates, and the sea war is about to break out (add more to King's 860,000 reward!)
However, what we received was a resolute reply from the Russian side, "You release the people first, and then we will release them, otherwise there will be no talks." ”
The incident has developed to this extent, it can be said that it has entered a stalemate stage, and all countries in the world are paying attention. It is almost a further military deployment, plus the threat of force.
However, an incident that happened two days later instantly induced the contradictions between the two countries to take it a step further!
That is, more than 50 people forcibly landed on Kunashir Island, one of the four northern islands actually controlled by the Russian side, without the permission of the Russian side. And planted the national flag in an attempt to provoke Russia's bottom line of tolerance.
But fortunately, that night, more than 50 people were arrested by the Russian military. Otherwise, let them plant the national flag and then slip back to the book, and the face of the Russian government will be lost!
"Mr. Ma Wei, late last night, our army arrested 52 people who forcibly landed on Kunashir Island. As you estimated, they must have succeeded in smuggling with the help of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. It's good to catch it in time, otherwise it would have been bad. ”
Rear Admiral of the Russian Pacific Fleet specially called Mavi and reported a piece of good news.
"It's good if you catch someone, hard work, Mr. Major General. In fact, Ma Wei didn't know that he would be so dizzy that he would forcibly land on the island. It's just that according to the memories of his previous life, there are indeed more than 70 people who secretly landed on the four northern islands with the help of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
These people carry a large amount of satellite communication equipment, and the vast majority of them are geological exploration experts, and the purpose of coming to the island is to do espionage activities and detect what deployments the Russian army has hidden on the island. After all, when they attacked Pearl Harbor, they hid a large amount of military power on Kunashir Island.
After the 52 people who forcibly landed on the island were controlled by the Russian army, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement to the outside world, "I will be prosecuted for the crimes of smuggling, espionage and other crimes, and these 52 people are said to be themselves." They face 10 to 15 years in prison. ”
With the statement issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry, the situation between Russia and Japan has become even more severe!
Almost on the same day, Prime Minister Ichiro Kanda quickly announced to the outside world. They are saying that the Self-Defense Forces will launch a massive military exercise in the waters of Japan.
Prove to the world that he is a traditional naval power. At the same time, it also warned Russia to release the more than 60 detained citizens as soon as possible.
Things have developed to this point, and the Russian armed forces naturally cannot be idle any longer! Your traditional maritime power, Yuben, will conduct military exercises in the Hai. Then the Russian Navy, as well as the Air Force, will definitely be dispatched to start an armed confrontation.
Immediately, the Russian president ordered the Navy Headquarters, "Let your Pacific Fleet send Akula-class attack nuclear submarines, as well as Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, to the waters near Sakhalin Island to stand by." At the same time, let the ships of other fleets go to the waters of this region as soon as possible to support!"
The Akula-class attack nuclear submarines, as well as the Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, are a major backbone of the Russian Navy. The combination of these two nuclear submarines, even the 7th Fleet of the US Navy, does not dare to underestimate!
Originally, the Russian president also wanted to send the country's only conventionally powered aircraft carrier, the "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier, to the waters of the country to provide support. It's a pity that the aircraft carrier is deployed in the Northern Fleet, and it may not be able to catch up in time.
This is also the reason why the Russian president asked Mavi to help them build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. It's just some surrounding countries, it's really annoying. Constantly creating strife at sea......
"Understood, Your Excellency the President, I'll deploy it right away!" the Russian marshal said respectfully on the phone.
……
The time soon came, the day of the naval exercise. Due to the news, it was released a few days ago. Therefore, before the exercise began, many media from all over the world took helicopters and prepared to go to the sea area to follow up and report.
The conflict between Russia and Japan was big international news. For these reporters who live on the news, it is definitely like a shark smelling blood, desperately trying to rush to shoot.
Didn't let these reporters wait too long in the air. I saw the Maritime Self-Defense Force base, the Omato base. All of them were dispatched, three Kongo-class destroyers, one Hyuga-class helicopter destroyer, one Izumo-class helicopter destroyer, and dozens of Chikugo-class missile frigates and anti-submarine ships. The scale can be said to be extraordinarily grand!
The Kongo-class destroyer, equipped with Aegis combat system missiles, has a full load displacement of 9,485 tons and a speed of 30 knots, making it the largest combat ship in the world.
And the Hyuga-class helicopter destroyers, and the Izumo-class helicopter destroyers, are nominally helicopter carriers. But in fact, it is an amphibious assault ship with a direct deck.
Although it is currently only allowed to carry helicopters (it is said that it was originally a surrendered country in World War II and cannot have aircraft carriers), it can carry fixed-wing aircraft with a slight modification. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a quasi-aircraft carrier.
Moreover, the Izumo-class helicopter carrier, known as the Maritime Self-Defense Force, seriously hides its full load displacement. It is claimed to be 19,500 tons, but its volume is 248 meters long and 38 meters wide, and the floating deck is 6 meters wide. This is clearly close to catching up with a 45,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier.
There are as many as nine such quasi-aircraft carrier helicopter carriers, including those in service and those planned for new construction. That's why the Maritime Self-Defense Force has the audacity to provoke Russia and its neighbors.
Seeing such an unprecedented lineup of military exercises, the media of various countries who stayed on the helicopter to shoot turned their cameras to these behemoths at sea.
In particular, the helicopter gunships on the helicopter carriers are full of parking, which makes people look extremely difficult to mess with.
Just as reporters from all over the world frantically pressed the shutter to take pictures of this scene. I only saw that in the direction of the island country, dozens of huge P-3C anti-submarine patrol planes suddenly flew in!
These anti-submarine patrol planes were purchased from the Americans. The aircraft is equipped with a global positioning system, a search radar, an optoelectronic sensing system. It can carry up to 9 tons of Mk46/46 torpedoes, depth charges, mines, rockets, Harpoon missiles, Maverick missiles and sonar buoys.
The purpose is to deal with submarines hidden underwater.
With the hundreds of P-3C anti-submarine patrol planes bought from the Americans, it can be said that the anti-submarine capability of this book ranks second in the world.
In recent years, many experts and scholars have pointed out that "the armed forces are about to complete the transformation of their combat capability from self-defense to intervention, defense to offense, inward to outward, and inland sea to the far sea." The ambition has always been there. ”
