Chapter 1172: Cutting off the first island chain
Iguazu Falls is the largest waterfall in South America and the widest waterfall in the world, located upstream of the confluence of the Iguazu River and the Paraná River on the border between Argentina and Brazil, about 23 kilometers away, the shape of the waterfall is horseshoe-shaped, the height is 82 meters, higher than 20 floors, the width is 4 kilometers, and the average drop reaches 75 meters.
There is only one small civilian airport in Iguazu City, and the runway is only more than 2,000 meters long, and Wu Chen's special plane cannot land directly, so a C-130 tactical transport plane was temporarily requisitioned, which is a passenger and cargo transport plane at the naval base.
For his safety, he was followed by four transport planes of the gendarmes, carrying a gendarmerie company and a Marine company combat team, and two transport planes carrying transport vehicles. Protected by a squadron of Shield Defender-1 fighter jets, they arrived at the international airport in the city of Iguaçu, where Global Hawk drones and AWACS aircraft began monitoring the area.
"It's a bit too big to make a battle, notify the reception staff of the two governments, there is no need to toss the atmosphere so tensely, people and tourists also spend money to travel and enjoy the scenery, I am no different from everyone, just secretly strengthen the vigilance." Wu Chen sat in the car and looked out of the window glass and said.
The road leading to the waterfall is full of checkpoints and checkpoints, and all passengers entering and leaving are strictly checked, which also shows that the two governments attach great importance to him, and may not be able to bear the responsibility for the accident.
This time, the governments of Argentina and Brazil have sent special reception groups to receive Wu Chen, and mobilized border guards and police to impose martial law on the entire scenic area to prevent anyone from assassinating the spiritual leader of the mercenary group.
"How is it, boss, does it feel cool to have a beautiful tour of the waterfall scenic spot?" In his tent in Brazil's national park, Eric said with a smile.
Wu Chen decided to camp in a national park in Brazil, saying that he wanted to feel the natural environment here, and the management agency of the national park did not dare to block such a request, so he set aside a piece of grassland, and the gendarmes quickly set up more than a dozen tents and connected them to the power supply and network cables.
"Uncle Shuang, I didn't spend half an hour in Argentina's national parks, and I was surrounded by security personnel, and I wanted to play the waterfall project inside, and I couldn't feel the waterfall up close, it was terrible." Wu Chen lit a Cuban cigar and said angrily.
"Boss, if there is any dangerous thing, the reception staff of the Argentine government will definitely not let you get involved, the presidents of South American countries gathered in Buenos Aires, one of the most important is to sign a military cooperation agreement with the Golden Triangle Federation, and the other is the procurement of weapons and equipment, at this time your safety is the top priority." Thompson said with a smile.
"Tell me about the situation in the Ryukyu Islands." Wu Chen held his purple sand teacup and smelled the fragrance of tea.
"The situation at the Japanese workstation is as follows, the US Government has frequently exerted pressure on the Japanese Government to keep the Kadena Air Base, but in consideration of the subsequent dangers, the base has temporarily not stationed combat troops, except for a squadron of helicopters and a squadron of transport planes for daily life, no other aircraft exist, and the ammunition from the ammunition depot has also begun to be transferred to the base in Guam."
"A few days ago, under pressure, the Japanese government dispatched police forces and self-defense forces to forcibly disperse the demonstrators, resulting in fierce clashes, with more than 20 police, self-defense forces, and people killed and more than 100 injured, and public opinion in Japan was in an uproar."
"The independent organization of the Ryukyu Islands has constantly made public speeches in various parts of Okinawa, detailing the various crimes committed by American GIs in the area, and strongly accusing the Japanese Government of using violent means to expel people who are peacefully demonstrating in order to curry favor with the US Government, resulting in casualties.
"According to Japan's official secret statistics, the incident at Kadena Air Base has become the fuse for the entire Ryukyu Islands, arousing the hatred of the local people against the US Government and expressing extreme disappointment with the Japanese Government; up to now, the proportion of people who support the complete independence of the Ryukyu Islands has jumped from 15 percent to 40 percent, and 60 percent of the people believe that the Ryukyu Islands are completely independent except for foreign affairs."
"The people of the Ryukyu Islands demanded that not only Kadena Air Base, but all U.S. military bases should be evacuated from the Ryukyu Islands, but this demand was categorically rejected by the U.S. government, and the Japanese government did not agree, and the two sides are in a state of standoff." Valia said.
"The people are always ordinary people, the family still has to live, and the stalemate will not last too long, and the Japanese government and the US government are playing this calculation at the moment, which is equivalent to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and without follow-up firepower, the water in the pot cannot boil. As long as the people don't make trouble, the US military bases will not be relocated, which is a bit troublesome. ”
"The proportion of people who want independence is less than half, and even if there is a referendum, there is no chance of winning, and Japan has ruled this place for 30 years, and the proportion of Japanese is too high, and the number of descendants of the Ryukyu Islands is too small.
"The Ryukyu Islands are very close to China and are of great strategic significance to the United States and Japan, and a simple territorial issue will certainly not yield an inch, and in the face of joint pressure from the United States and Japan, the problem will become out of control." Wu Chen shook his head and said.
Japan is a relatively resource-poor country, and it is particularly concerned about the territorial issue of the islands, and the so-called Takeshima Island and the so-called Dokdo in South Korea are still entangled until now, and the area of the Ryukyu Islands can not be compared with Dokdo?
The Golden Triangle Federation and Japan are also competing for the South Kuril Islands, but the difference is that the force value of the mercenary corps is too high, and the Japanese government calculates that it can't withstand it, so it can only keep shouting verbally, and there is no hope for a substantial return, who can take away the meat that the mercenaries eat in their mouths?
In any case, the Japanese government will not give up the Ryukyu Islands, and it is impossible for every leader to make such a decision, because he will become a sinner accused by thousands of people in Japan, and the loss of territory is a great shame for Japan.
"The most important problem is that our mercenary corps has no name to intervene in this matter at the moment, and forcibly intervening will only cause a double blow to the US government and the Japanese government. Hunter said with a frown.
