The meeting had already dispersed, and Andrei looked at the smiling Lieutenant General Konstantin, wondering what else was going on to leave him behind?

"Andrey, you did a good job this time, you broke the morale of the Americans, and your photo of the aircraft carrier flying over the Americans has now appeared in the Pravda newspaper in Moscow, and it is the front page headline again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMarshal Ustinov is quite satisfied, if it weren't for the fact that you received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for the first time too recently, you would have been going to award you the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for the second time. It's just that you are a little reckless in doing this, and if you are really hit by an American missile, our Far Eastern Military District will lose a good regiment commander. Lieutenant General Konstantin said.

"In the service of the Soviets." "At the time I was thinking only about fighting the arrogance of the Americans, and now that I think about it, it was a bit dangerous, but if I had to choose again, I would still do it, and I will never regret it," Andrei said. ”

"Andrei, you are still young, and a great future awaits you." Lieutenant General Konstantin said: "Marshal Ustinov did not mistake you, he asked me to take care of you. ”

"Thank you, General." Andrei said that at this time, his heart was warm, although Andrei knew that Ustinov liked tough Soviet soldiers like him, but this concern still moved Andrei very much.

"Andrey, after returning to the troops, do your combat readiness, the improved R-40 missiles have been sent to the base, you must prepare for the mount of the new missiles." Lieutenant Konstantin continued.

Improved R-40!

The biggest disadvantage of the R-40 is that the range is too close, especially the model of the infrared seeker, and the real effective range is only more than twenty kilometers! So, the Soviets continued to develop, adopting a new and improved ******, which brought the effective range of this missile to fifty kilometers, and the model designation R-40D.

Hearing the words of Lieutenant General Konstantin, Andrei suddenly remembered the newly reinforced 592 regiment, and then thought of it with the present, what happened? Is it really going to fight the Americans?

That's the best! Hit the arrogance of the Americans hard! However, in the Cold War, there did not seem to be such an incident, the United States and the Soviet Union did not break out any large-scale military conflict, after all, if the two giants really fought each other, it would mean that the cold war would become a hot war, and even a nuclear war would break out, causing the destruction of the earth.

Although Andrei came to the conclusion that a nuclear war would not break out, it was based on the knowledge of later generations. If they are really in a hurry, both sides will definitely dare to do anything.

"Yes." Andrei replied that he knew that the lieutenant general had reminded him enough, and there was no need for him to continue asking.

To fight, or not to fight? How large-scale is the fight? What kind of strategic posture do you need to get?

These questions are not for Andrei to consider, at this time, in the Kremlin, a large group of people are discussing such issues that determine national affairs.

"For 200 years, we have been trying to open up the Pacific Ocean, and after the end of World War II, we tried to occupy the northeast of China and establish a base for the Pacific Fleet in Dalian, China. At that time, for some reason, none of this became a reality. In fact, at that time, we were all taking a detour, and the most suitable outlet for us to the sea was not in China at all, but in the island country! As long as we occupy Hokkaido, we will be able to get the exit of the Pacific Ocean! "The Minister of Defense, Marshal Ustinov, was at this time enthusiastically trying to convince the other high-ranking officials in front of him.

Get access to the Pacific Ocean! Although the Soviets had already acquired Vladivostok, it was not an ice-free port, and there were several months of ice every winter, which was not suitable for the Navy as a base, and the Pacific Fleet in the Soviet Far East would not have chosen it as its base if it were not for the short Admiral Liba.

Similarly, Sakhalin and other places were also excluded, and Stalin at that time tried to ask Huaxia for the port of Dalian, so what was the use? Just look at the map, even if you have the port of Dalian as a base, you will still be blocked by the Americans in the coastal waters, and you won't be able to get out at all!

If you want to get out, you need to get a more suitable base to advance, and now, from any point of view, Hokkaido is the most suitable!

Due to the fear of the Soviet Union attacking Hokkaido, the island country did not build Hokkaido, and now the population there is only a few million, and in Hokkaido, the city of Kushiro on the Pacific coast happens to be used as a port, and the Akkeshi Bay, 30 kilometers northeast of Kushiro City, overlooks the Pacific Ocean like Tokyo Bay of the island country, and it happens to be the base of the Soviet Union's Pacific Fleet, plus the nuclear submarine base on the Kamchatka Peninsula, forming horns with each other, and they can go out of the Pacific Ocean at any time to compete with the Americans for hegemony in the Pacific Ocean!

For the Soviet Union, this was also an important step to break the current strategic situation.

As for Kunashir Island and Setoki Island, the strategic depth is too shallow for permanent naval bases.

"What's more, it should have been ours in the first place, and during World War II, the island nation was also one of the fascists, so it should be punished enough! The island countries should have been divided and occupied, just like Germany, but now, we are just taking back what belongs to us. Ustinov continued, and he began to turn over old accounts again.

Only when a weak country has no diplomacy can a big country have the right to speak in the world pattern. On August 15, 45, U.S. President Harry S. Truman contacted the Soviet Union to negotiate the acceptance of the distribution of the countries after the surrender of the island nation, that is, the distribution of the areas actually occupied by each country. Among them, the USSR allocated Manchuria, the Korean Peninsula north of the 38th parallel and South Sakhalin, but the Kuril Islands were not included. Stalin, on the other hand, believed that the area obtained by the island countries by surrendering to the Soviet Union should be based on the "Yalta Agreement" to obtain all the islands of the Kuril Islands, and he proposed a new request to acquire the northern half of Hokkaido, including the northern half of Hokkaido, which included the connection between Kushiro City and Rumoe City, which was also a retaliation for the island countries to send troops to Siberia.

Both Liumeng and Kushiro have a large port, and at the same time, there are abundant coal and iron ore resources. Among them, Rumoe is the port of Otaru and Wakkanai on the coast of Hokkaido. From here, you can head west directly to the Liaodong Peninsula. The Soviet Union was rich in oil energy, but poor in coal. At the same time, Hokkaido, which is warmer than Siberia, has abundant agricultural and fishery resources, mainly dairy farmers, which were important to the Soviet Union.

Having got here, it is possible not only to make the Sea of Okhotsk an inland sea of the USSR, but also to realize the port of Kushiro, which has been constantly dreamed of in the open ocean since the days of the Russian Empire, from which submarine forces can be sent directly into the Pacific Ocean!

As a result, then US President Harry S. Truman bargained and agreed to the Soviet occupation of the entire Kuril Islands, but refused to allow the Soviet Union to occupy the northern part of Hokkaido. And in order not to let the Soviet Union succeed, the Americans quickly landed on the island country and took the lead in occupying it.

The USSR lost Hokkaido, lost the ability to counterbalance the Pacific Ocean with the Americans, and now, it's time to correct this mistake!
