While the ship collision in the North Pacific Ocean was less earth-shattering, it did make everyone around the world nervous.

The collision between the destroyer of the Navy, which was triggered by a frigate of the Russian Navy, came very suddenly, without a hint, but what happened afterwards proved that it was not an accident, but a premeditated event, at least one of the parties.

According to a report by the TV station, at the time of the incident, a fishing boat was engaged in normal fishing in international waters, but was intercepted by a frigate of the Russian Navy, and the fishing boat was asked to stop for inspection. After the fishing boat sent a signal for help, a "Takaba"-class destroyer of the Navy, which was operating near the sea area, rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, and the carrier-based helicopters of the two sides first started a fight over the fishing boat. In order to prevent the Russian Navy from hijacking the fishing boat, the destroyer took the initiative to step forward and block between the fishing boat and the frigate, and then collided.

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable.

In the official statement issued by the Russian authorities, the second half is basically consistent with the information published by the media, but as for the cause of the incident, the Russian authorities insist that the fishing boat entered Russian territorial waters and fished during the fishing ban season, violating Russian laws and should be investigated and punished.

Strictly speaking, this collision is nothing.

Over the past few decades, there have been several similar incidents a year, and most of the time, they have been reluctant, either by being released by Russia after the fishermen pay fines or resolved diplomatically. In order to avoid a direct conflict with Russia, Ben even banned ships from entering the waters near the four northern islands.

The difference is that this time the authorities did not swallow their anger.

After ramming the Russian frigate, the destroyer did not escort the fishing boat home, but was accompanied back to Sapporo by a patrol ship from the Maritime Guard Agency. Just eight hours later, the First Fleet of the Navy, that is, the former First Destroyer Group, all arrived at the area where the incident occurred. In order to support the naval fleet, the Air Force also dispatched a squadron of F-22J fighters to Hokkaido.

There is no doubt that the authorities had been prepared for this, otherwise it would not have been possible to complete the military movement in such a short period of time.

Compared to the original version, Russia's reaction is much slower. For the first twelve hours, Russia was able to use only fighter jets deployed on Sakhalin. It was not until 12 hours after the incident that a fleet of "Brave" class destroyers and a "Modern" class destroyer arrived in the area where the incident occurred and confronted the much larger and larger fleet that had completely gained the upper hand.

Mutual intransigence on both sides led to a sudden escalation of the situation.

On the surface, it is said that this has an absolute advantage. On the sea, the Russian Navy dispatched 10 warships, as well as an unknown number of conventional submarines, as well as numerous auxiliary ships, while the Russian Navy, in addition to the two destroyers dispatched, can mobilize at most one cruiser and three destroyers, and the submarines that can be used will not exceed five, and only two "Akula" class attack nuclear submarines can be advanced enough. In the air, the Air Force has deployed 12 F-22J, more than 30 F-15J, and more than 20 F-2 fighters, as well as two E-767s and four E-2Cs, in Hokkaido and northern Honshu Island, and can deploy dozens of additional fighters and support aircraft at any time. Although Russia's air force in the Far East is larger, there are less than two dozen Su-27 and Su-35 fighters and more than a dozen Tu-160 and Tu-95 strategic bombers.

It's just that everyone knows that if Ben starts a war, the chances of victory are not great.

Russia has a strategic strike force that Russia does not have, and even if the more than 10 strategic bombers do not carry nuclear bombs, their powerful ground and sea strike capabilities can still overwhelm the naval fleet. More importantly, Russia has attack nuclear submarines that it does not have, and as long as the sneak attack is successful, one "Akula" can wipe out the entire fleet.

What this has is only the preemptive and preemptive strike.

As long as Russia moves quickly and dispatches ground forces to capture the four northern islands before Russia completes its preparations for war and mobilizes and concentrates its forces, it will be able to take advantage of the advantage of defensive counterattacks to consume the small combat capability of the Russian Pacific Fleet and the Far Eastern Military District, and then force Russia to negotiate.

Of course, there must be a prerequisite for this, that is, Lao Maozi will not be angry and use nuclear warheads to solve the problem.

Unfortunately, this precondition is not true.

Less than 24 hours after the incident, the Russian president openly told Western reporters that there had been no change in Russia's national defense policy and that it would use all means to defend its territory and sovereignty in the event of an invasion. Subsequently, the President of Russia signed a presidential decree that the Far Eastern Military District was brought to combat readiness.

This is an unmistakable diplomatic signal, and a very strong diplomatic signal.

According to US news media reports, after the Russian president gave the order, four bombers carrying tactical nuclear missiles have already set off from Russia's European region and rushed to Komsomolsk to strengthen Russia's strategic strike and military deterrence in the Far East.

At this point, almost everyone thinks that they should have backed down.

You must know that in the face of Russia's superiority in strategic nuclear strikes, the conventional military force of the present is simply vulnerable, and it is impossible to achieve the desired results.

The problem is that instead of backing down, he immediately took-for-tat action.

On the second day after Russia sent more nuclear strike forces to the Far East, Ikawa Kojiro brought the navy and air force into a state of full combat readiness, and sent the Second and Third Fleets deployed on the mainland to the north, only the Fourth Fleet deployed in Okinawa was not mobilized, and the air force deployed more than 80 percent of its combat capability to Hokkaido and the northern part of Honshu Island, including all four E-767 early warning aircraft.

All of a sudden, clouds were over the North Pacific, and it seemed that war was coming.

Of course, there are still many people who believe that this conflict will not turn into a war, because the decision is not in the hands of Russia, nor is it in the hands of the capital.

Fundamentally, Russia will only use nuclear weapons as a last resort, because there are too many concerns.

No matter how tough the attitude of the Russian president is, as long as the hope of resolving the crisis through diplomacy is not dashed, he will not take the initiative to provoke a war. Taking a step back, even if war breaks out, nuclear weapons will not be used as long as the South Kuril Islands can be held by conventional means.

From the standpoint of Ben, it is not easy to decide whether to fight or not, and at least it is necessary to obtain the approval of the United States.

Although the disputed territories and territorial waters are not included in the U.S. security treaty, the United States is not obliged to fulfill the alliance treaty when there is a dispute between the United States and Russia over the four northern islands, but as an ally of the United States and the most important ally of the United States in the western Pacific region, the United States needs to be supported by the United States in any major foreign policy decision. Without the support and approval of the United States, the hope of winning a war against Russia is very slim.

From a military point of view, it is said that it needs the support of the United States even more.

Don't forget, almost all of the main equipment of this army comes from the United States, or imports key equipment from the United States. For example, among the main fighters of the Air Force, the F-22J is imported from the United States, the F-15J is a purchased production patent, and the F-2 is based on the American F-16 enlarged production. Among the warships of the Yamamoto Navy, the "Kongo" class and the "Atago" class are modeled after the "Burke" class of the United States, while the "Murayu" and "Takanami" classes use a large number of electronic equipment produced by the United States, and only a small part of them are developed and manufactured by the Akamoto.

Without the support of the United States, the combat effectiveness of the armed forces will inevitably be greatly reduced.

It can be said that the authorities must consider a possibility, that is, in order to avoid hostility with Russia, the United States has manipulated the issue of arms sales, so that the United States will not be able to replenish the issue in a timely manner. More importantly, most of the intelligence needed by the armed forces, especially strategic intelligence, has to rely on the United States, and the United States has the details of the armed forces. If the United States plays tricks in intelligence, the fate of the United States will be very tragic.

No matter how ambitious Ikawa Kojiro is, it is impossible to get rid of the United States and go it alone.

As a result, on the third day of the incident, Foreign Minister Morimoto left Tokyo and flew to Washington to seek advice from US President Norris in person.

Unfortunately, at this time, Norris simply didn't have the energy to pay attention to what was happening on the other side of the Pacific.

After completing the search and rescue work, as well as the initial screening, Norris has drafted his resignation letter. In accordance with his promise to Congress, he will resign from the presidency on the grounds of good health, and at the same time lift the state of emergency to allow society to gradually return to normal order.

At the time of the war between Russia and Russia, Norris was handing over power to the vice president.

In other words, although Norris has not left the White House, he no longer cares about national affairs, and major decisions are taken care of by the vice president, who is about to be sworn in. He did not leave the White House immediately, mainly because of some legal matters, such as the need to get the support of more than half of the ministers in the case of resignation from the presidency on health grounds, and Norris had to find ways to convince officials who had served him for more than three years.

In the face of the foreign secretary, Norris only made one request, that is, the United States does not want anything to jeopardize world peace at this time.

This is not just his request, but also the request of the US authorities.

Although there is no direct connection between the hostile relations between Russia and what happened in New York, at least there is no evidence of this, as long as war breaks out between Russia, the investigation of the attack will be affected, and the United States will even have to adjust its strategic deployment and focus on international issues.

Will the American people accept the federal axe to do so?

The answer is obviously no, for the vast majority of Americans, what happened to Russia has nothing to do with them, and finding out the real culprit behind the attack is the most important thing for the political axe to do, and it is also the thing that really has a bearing on the real interests of the Americans.

The question is, will Kojiro Ikawa do what Norris tells him to do?
