Chapter 289: Super High
Alaska, across the Bering Strait, opposite the extreme east of the Soviet Union, historically, this was originally Russian land, but unfortunately because of poor management, it was sold to the United States at a low price, and since then it has become an enclave of the United States.

Alaska is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it is natural to fish, and it can be said that it is the first fishing state in the United States, accounting for more than half of the total production of the United States. Many tourists come here to taste the seafood here, such as pink salmon, fine white cod and oversized "king crab".
Alaska's managers are also aware of the importance of protecting the environment, and since Alaska officially became a state in the United States, the state constitution has included the protection of fish: "The use and development of fish must be carried out in accordance with the principle of sustainable development, and the growth of fish must be maintained." "Alaska has established more than 40 marine protected areas, 31 of which prohibit any commercial fishing or the use of deep-sea fishing gear.
Moreover, since the 70s, a policy of "limited access to fishing" has been introduced, i.e. the issuance of fishing licences has been restricted. In addition, the salmon can only be caught for three months, and the use of large fishing tools such as trawling is prohibited, which greatly limits the catch and there has never been overfishing. In this era, Alaska's practices were quite advanced, effectively ensuring fishery resources.
However, for fishermen, fishing for a few months a year is definitely not cost-effective compared to the investment in fishing boats. Therefore, fishermen in Alaska often venture into the depths of the ocean to fish, and the waters near Alaska cannot be fished, and there is no limit to the depths of the Pacific Ocean, right?
In order to protect themselves, when they fished in the ocean, they did it in the form of a fleet, and this time, following a stream of fish, they came all the way to the southern part of the Kuril Islands, and just when they cast their nets and caught a large number of marine fish, they were cheering, and the storm came.
Fishing boats can't compare to warships, the waves sink one fishing boat, several fishing boats are injured, they are struggling at sea, finally, help comes!
As an army raised by taxpayers, it must serve taxpayers! Now that it was discovered that its own fishing boat was in danger, the US aircraft carrier group had no choice but to stop and take off helicopters to help search and rescue the fishermen who had fallen into the water.
And what about the fleet of the Soviets? The E-2 AWACS aircraft searched for several hours, but still found nothing.
The US Navy is busy in vain. They don't know that these are all Soviet tricks on them, but when the satellites are passing by, they are pretending, and the Soviets have no intention of repeating the old tricks at all!
Only if the brain is dizzy, will go around so far and go in a big circle to land, without the escort of the navy, if you want to land in Tokyo Bay, the casualties will definitely not be affordable by the Soviet Union!
Standing on the land of Hakodate, Andrei had mixed feelings at this time.
The whole of Hokkaido has been planted with the banner of a sickle and a hammer, and you have occupied the whole of Hokkaido!
The army of the island nation in Hokkaido only fled back with less than 10,000 people, and the rest were either killed or captured!
In the final stage, the Soviet aviation was dispatched to intercept the escape of the islanders, and seeing that there was no hope of escape, most of the islanders chose to surrender.
The Soviet army was able to quickly advance to the south of Hokkaido, until the occupation of Hakodate, and the help of the Chi army was inseparable, in the past six months, the Chi army has chirified many residents here, and the residents did not have any aversion to the arrival of the Soviet army, did not resist, and some even provided help to the Soviet Union, giving them guidance on the route and helping them to chase down the fleeing army.
And just like that, after three days of fierce fighting, on April 13 of '78, the Soviets had already occupied all of Hokkaido! This is a victory to celebrate!
It was the islanders who took the initiative to start the war, and it was the islanders who finally bore the fate of defeat!
It's just that the battle is not over yet, Andrei's appetite, but the entire island country!
Now, it's time for the Chi Army to play a bigger role! Andrei had great hopes for this.
Yokota base.
"Damn, are the heads of these island people watered?" Major General Kobe, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, couldn't help but think angrily when he saw that the road in front of him was surrounded by islanders and did not let his tanks pass.
The Soviets have already taken all of Hokkaido! The Seventh Fleet at sea, on the other hand, disappointed them with the news, and after careful searching, it was confirmed that the Soviets had no signs of a fleet attacking from the sea, and American satellites also scanned the entire sea area to confirm the news.
Fooled by the Soviets again! A huge naval force that did nothing but save an Alaskan fishing fleet!
The Seventh Fleet was rapidly returning home, and at the same time, the 1st Cavalry Division, stationed at the Yokota base, also needed to move and move north. Since the Soviets had no plans to attack from the sea, the Soviets would definitely cross the sea from Hakodate! The shortest part of the Tsugaru Strait is only eighteen kilometers! If the Soviets landed across the sea, they would not be able to hold it at all by relying on the terrified Ground Self-Defense Forces of the island country!
Therefore, the combat mission of the 1st Cavalry Division, from defending Tokyo Bay and providing the first round of counterattack missions in the event of a surprise attack by the Soviets, has become a mission to the north to help the Ground Self-Defense Force of the island nation hold the southern part of the Tsugaru Strait and prevent the Soviets from landing across the sea!
Urgently pulled out of the barracks, and before he had walked two kilometers, he was stopped by the islanders, which made Major General Bryant extremely angry.
"Hey, get out of the way, you nasty guys!" At the head of the line was a U.S. jeep driving the road, followed by M1 tanks carried by tractors.
The American GI was furious, his M16 rifle in his hand, and shouted at the islanders surrounding him.
"No, you can't pass, you're violating our road laws." The islanders, all with strips of white cloth tied around their heads, said indignantly to the Americans here: "Your vehicles are overweight and can't drive on our roads!" ”
There are domestic regulations in the island country, and even their own Type 74 tanks, when they use trailers for transportation, because they are overweight, they must unload the turret and use two trailers separately to be able to transport! And now, the M1 tanks of the Americans, even more than the highway regulations! And the self-defense forces of the island countries often run directly in tanks, and they are not subject to the anger of the local government! (To be continued.) )
