As the most important ally of the United States, it has a pivotal position and value in the global strategic layout of the United States. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

During the Cold War, in order to deal with the Soviet Union, the United States built two strategic lines of defense in the western Pacific, which are commonly known as the first island chain and the second island chain. On these two strategic lines of defense, the Ben was the starting point in the north, facing the powerful military forces deployed by the Soviet Union in the Far East. Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has made major adjustments to its global strategy, and the importance of the surname has not been reduced in the slightest, but has been strengthened. In the eyes of the United States, it is not only a forward base for controlling the western Pacific region, but also an important bargaining chip for containing the rising continent.

No matter what the United States wants to do in the Western Pacific, it has to rely on this forward base.

In order to prevent the United States from launching a military attack on North Korea and triggering the Second Korean War, it is necessary to make a fuss about the United States so that the United States cannot use the military bases in the country.

This is also Li Tingxuan's main purpose for finding Liu Wei.

"What can I do?" Liu Wei didn't dwell on it and went straight to the point.

"It should be what we can do." Li Tingxuan smiled and said, "The key is not in us, but in myself, and all we can do is to knock on the side." ”

"Side-knocking?" Liu Wei looked at Li Tingxuan with a little disbelief.

"Ikawa Kojiro is the spokesman of the militarist clique and the leader of the Shinshomoto forces. Although Ikawa Kojiro made concessions on the territorial dispute with Russia and temporarily compromised with the United States, everyone knows that if this opportunity is missed and dragged on for three to five years, the chances of winning will become even more slim. ”

"In other words, Kojiro Ikawa still wants to use force."

"It's not him, it's the militarist clique behind him."

Liu Wei frowned, waiting for Li Tingxuan to continue.

"In terms of overall strategy, Ikawa Kojiro has a very clear understanding that without the support of the United States, he will either lose to Russia, accept a less than satisfactory result, or quickly embark on the road of militarism. These three situations are not ideal for Yuben. Before it developed and grew, it could not do without the protection of the United States, and a less than satisfactory result could not be explained to the people, and quickly embarking on the road of militarism would only speed up the demise of the company. At present, we must compromise with the United States on major strategic issues. ”

"We have to continue to be a pawn of the United States."

"So to speak, but Kojiro Ishikawa must have thought that the United States would soon be involved in the next war, and it would either use force against Iran or take North Korea at the knife." Li Tingxuan paused slightly, and then said, "If it is the former, it will benefit from it." As the strategic focus of the United States shifts westward and concentrates on the Gulf region, it will assume important strategic tasks in the western Pacific region as an ally, thereby gaining a higher status in the US-China alliance and even replacing the United States as the hegemon in the western Pacific region. ”

"What about the latter?"

"Obviously, Ben is going to be dragged down. As long as the United States puts its strategic focus on the western Pacific, it will certainly strengthen its military presence in the region, and it will be very difficult for the United States to get rid of its control. When necessary, the United States will even intervene in its internal affairs and wipe out the militarist clique in its infancy. More importantly, if we continue to follow the steps of the United States on the DPRK issue, we will irretrievably stand on the opposite side of our country and Russia, thus losing the strategic opportunity to recover the four northern islands, and even having to be completely strategically passive for a long time. There is no doubt that against two major powers at the same time, there is no chance of victory. ”

"According to what you say, Ben's purpose is the same as ours, and he will try to prevent the United States from using force in North Korea."

"It's pretty much the same, but Ikawa Kojiro's options are very limited. To a large extent, to make a fuss about the four northern islands, is to make the United States abandon the idea of waging war in the western Pacific. ”

Hearing this, Liu Wei understood.

As a politician, Kojiro Ikawa must have seen the far-reaching impact of the Manhattan attacks and realized that the United States was likely to attack North Korea in order to regain its strength. Although doing so would make the United States hostile to the mainland, and even Russia would be implicated, as long as the United States can produce evidence that can be put on the table to prove that North Korea planned the Manhattan attack, the mainland and Russia will not risk a full-scale war with the United States and stand behind North Korea. In fact, it is not difficult for the U.S. intelligence agencies to produce a convincing piece of evidence, or a justification for a war.

Strategically, the United States has many reasons to target North Korea rather than Iran.

In the Gulf region, since the Gulf War in the early 90s, the United States has spent two decades consolidating its strategic position in the region, and all countries in the region are allies of the United States, except for Iran, which is not very obedient, Syria, which is in turmoil, and Yemen, which is controlled by terrorist groups. Although attacking Iran can eliminate the last hidden danger, strengthen US control, and restrain other Gulf countries at the same time, the strategic benefits obtained from this will not be proportional to the investment, and the benefits to the United States will not be great. What's more, Norris has been trying to improve relations with Islamic countries since taking office, and a declaration of war on Iran on "trumped-up" charges would inevitably undo all of Norris's diplomatic efforts in the previous three years. From the standpoint of its allies, it will be difficult for the United States to attack Iran at this time unless it can produce enough evidence to convince all its allies. Without the support of its allies, especially those in Europe, it would be difficult for the United States to win this war in a short period of time and at a small enough cost.

Relatively speaking, North Korea is much simpler.

In the war in the Western Pacific, the United States will not count on its allies in Europe, even the United Kingdom, and it is unlikely that they will join the "coalition" led by the United States, as it did a few decades ago. In this region, the United States needs only two allies, of which South Korea, with reunification as its great cause, will not break away from the American chariot. The rest is only the book. As long as it can get the support of the United States, it will have enough capital to start a war. Although Ikawa Kojiro was reluctant to get involved in the war, North Korea posed a real threat to the company, especially the hundreds of ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland of the country, as well as the nuclear warheads that could be attached to the missiles, putting the safety of the company in jeopardy. As long as the United States promises to provide security guarantees for the DPRK and wage war on the pretext of eliminating the DPRK's large-scale strategic retaliatory capability, it will be difficult for the US to stay out of the situation.

With the support of its allies, all the United States needs to do is keep the two major powers with close ties to North Korea on hold.

In this regard, the United States can use many means, such as creating irrefutable evidence to hold North Korea accountable for the attack on Manhattan.

Ikawa Kojiro realized this, so he created a Russian-Russian conflict before the United States took action.

As long as it says that it cannot get out of the four northern islands and is on the brink of war with Russia, the United States will have to be wary and will not rush to start a war.

The problem is that Kojiro Ikawa has not done it thoroughly enough, at least the United States has not allowed relations between Russia to continue to deteriorate.

Obviously, this has not been done thoroughly enough.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei understood.

"How's it going, figured it out?"

"The leadership is not in the hands of Ikawa Kojiro?"

"This kind of major event is definitely not something that one person can decide." Li Tingxuan sighed and said, "From the perspective of Ikawa Kojiro, you can find that whether he wants it or not, the result cannot be changed, and all he can do is to start from a position of himself and strive for the most favorable result." ”

"What is the most favorable outcome?"

"The most favorable outcome for Ben."

Liu Wei frowned, as if he still didn't understand what Li Tingxuan meant.

"Kojiro Ikawa took the initiative to visit Washington, met with Cronin three times, and completed one of his most important diplomatic activities when he agreed to the request of the United States and returned to Tokyo with a gift."

"Another secret agreement with the United States?"

"Of course not, didn't you expect?"

Liu Wei thought for a while, and then figured it out.

"Kojiro Ikawa did this, firstly, to reassure the United States, and secondly, to let Russia relax its vigilance. Now it seems that these two goals have been achieved. After his promise, the United States will not look at the Western Pacific, and Russia has lifted the combat readiness of its army. If there is to be a war, now is the best time. ”

"The problem is, if this is really done, the U.S. alliance will come to an end. Even from the point of view of personal interests, Ikawa Kojiro did not get any benefit. ”

"Then we can only believe that Kojiro Ikawa is a selfless person."

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean, I would have risked offending the United States to start a war, and in the end, Ikawa Kojiro would be held responsible?" ”

"Is there a better way?"

"Looks like there's really no better way."

"Ikawa Kojiro will definitely be finished, maybe it will be very miserable, but it is not a bad thing for us to take this step."

"In that case, what are we doing with our hearts?"

"No matter how secret things are, there are traces to be found, aren't they?"

"You mean ......"

"Even if the little devils launch a surprise attack, they must be deployed in advance, and it is difficult to achieve strict secrecy in large-scale military operations. Don't forget, there are hundreds of Yankee spy satellites in space, and the United States still has troops stationed in the country. As long as it is found that there is an abnormal behavior, the United States will intervene. Judging from the current situation, even if Ikawa Kojiro has the full support of the militarist clique, it will be difficult to compete with the United States, and it is even more impossible for him to recapture the four northern islands under the resolute obstruction of the United States. As long as the United States is determined to stabilize its roots, it will even secretly help Russia and let Lao Maozi teach the little devils a lesson. Only in this way will the extremely inflated confidence of the United States return to the bosom of the United States and become the cornerstone of the United States' launching of the Korean War. ”

"You mean, to help Yuben start a war?"

"Hoodwink the United States and let the raw rice be cooked into rice. As long as the fight starts, regardless of the outcome, the United States will not be able to use force against North Korea for at least the next few years. ”

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully, and understood what Li Tingxuan meant.
