"Guys, we're in big trouble. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" In the round table room of the White House, Carter's opening remarks were very helpless.

Carter estimated that he was the most aggrieved of all presidents, and the just-concluded Vietnam War made the Americans realize that they could not even conquer a small Vietnam by force, and now, the Soviet Union was so aggressive that it was on the offensive in the Cold War.

And now, the Soviets are dissatisfied with the status quo, do not want to be surrounded by the Western world as a whole, and want to seek a new position in the Cold War, and this first step is to open a gap in the Far East!

Once the Soviets gained Hokkaido and had ice-free ports in the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii and other places in the central Pacific Ocean would always be threatened by the Soviets' ocean-going fleet, just like the Pacific War in those years.

Although the Soviets did not yet have a strong naval fleet, which was a land power in the traditional sense, once the Soviets wanted to seek maritime supremacy, they could quickly build a powerful naval fleet with the help of the Soviet defense industry.

The Soviets have made an appointment with the American ambassador, and the American ambassador has already conveyed the Soviets' intentions to the White House, and now, everyone knows, the Soviets want Kushiro Port!

Although at the end of World War II, Stalin proposed a conspiracy to take Kushiro, but President Truman did not agree at all, and at that time he allowed the American army to quickly occupy the entire territory of the island country, without giving the Soviets a chance.

And now? The Soviets dared to take the initiative to launch a war of aggression and occupy the port of Kushiro in Hokkaido!

"We must not allow the Soviets to succeed in their conspiracy." Defense Secretary Harold Brown said: "If the Soviets occupy northern Hokkaido, it will directly threaten our sea power in the Pacific, and we will not be able to effectively track the Soviets' submarine forces." We will take advantage of the fact that the Soviets are not firmly on the ground and drive the Soviets into the sea! ”

Beat the dog to see the owner, and now the Soviets landed in Hokkaido. That is a declaration of war on the United States, that tough Ustinov is simply a scoundrel and a devil!

"However, we do not have a strong army in the island country, and now we can only use the air force and navy." Vice President Walter Mundell is worried. The Ground Self-Defense Force of the island nation. There is no fight at all, and the United States can provide support, but there is precisely no army!

"It's for the best." "We all underestimated the Soviets' ambitions for foreign aggression and expansion, and, in fact, directly to Hokkaido, we are not afraid of war, but if we do have ground contact with the Soviets, the scale of the war," said Secretary of State Warren Mine-Kristoff. It will be out of our control, the situation in Western Europe may get out of control, the third world war will come, and it is not in the interests of our Western world to fight a world war now, and we must control the scale of the war. ”

As secretary of state, Warren clearly sees further. Ustinov's conversation with the American ambassador was clearly a warning to the American side. Don't get involved, or it's a world war!

The United States will not watch Hokkaido being annexed, but it will not be able to start a full-scale conflict with the Soviet Union, which is quite a difficult choice!

Acquiescence in the Soviet occupation of Hokkaido? Then the position of the United States, the big brother of the Western world, will not be kept! The French will definitely be the first to stand up and accuse! Help the islanders get Hokkaido back? How many people will die in the United States will be put aside first, as long as the US Army enters the war, the scale of the war will increase.

In the Cold War. Both the United States and the Soviet Union tried to avoid direct confrontation. In the Korean War, the United States did it first, and the Soviet Union did not send troops, and in the Vietnam War, the Americans did it, and the Soviet Union did not directly send troops, and in the later Afghan War. The Soviet Union made the first move, and the United States could only support it in the back.

Now, the Soviets have done it, but the Soviets did not pick up soft persimmons and pinch, but went directly to the strongest bridgehead in East Asia!

"So how are we going to control the scale of the war?" Carter asked, although Carter had a seven-year naval career on his resume, Carter had not fought in any wars, and his main strength was political performance, not military affairs.

"Only send the navy and air force to fight, not the ground forces." Secretary of State Warren continued: "As long as we blockade the Navy and Air Force and block the logistical support of the Soviets, these first troops who landed will soon be destroyed." If we block the sea routes and air shipping, the Soviets will not have any advantage. As for the offensive on the ground, let the Ground Self-Defense Forces of the island nation carry it out on their own. ”

Warren saw very far, the army was fighting, it was logistics, the Soviets did not attack from the west and north of Hokkaido, they ran in a big circle to Kushiro Port in the Pacific Ocean to attack, although it caused suddenness, but it could not last, the Pacific Ocean was still American! As long as the U.S. Navy in the Pacific and the air force on the mainland are dispatched to block the Soviets' logistical supply lines, the Soviets will be the turtle in the urn.

As long as we can't afford a ground war, an air attack on a few planes and the death of a few pilots is not a major conflict. As a result, both sides were kept secret and did not cause an uproar.

It's the same this time.

"Yes, as long as we have the advantage in the air and at sea, the battle on land can be solved by the islanders." Secretary of Defense Brown also agreed with Warren's suggestion, in fact, the US Army just wants to enter the war, and it will take at least half a month to prepare, and it is too late now.

"Okay, then we will mobilize the navy and air force to block the back of the Soviets!" Carter said, "This time, we must not lose again!" ”

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this matter is not completely harmful, at least, Congress also intends to use the incident of the civil airliner to make the opposition parties play a trick of impeaching the president, this is American-style democracy!

And now, the Soviets have launched a war to invade the island nation! Prove that the previous practice of the American army was not wrong! At that time, the government had already sensed the ambitions of the Soviets, so it sent a passenger plane to pretend to be a reconnaissance! If you want to blame it, blame the Soviets for being so barbaric that they even beat civil airliners!

With this incident, the airliner turmoil will definitely be over! Carter was really grateful to the crazy Russians at this time.

When the discussions were over, Lieutenant General Paul, the commander of the U.S. forces in Japan in the Far East, finally received instructions from the White House to move the Navy and Air Force to strike at the Soviets' routes!

A sea and air battle is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
