On the TV, Nathan asked aggressively, President Carter, do you think you can get your wish by doing this? Can't you see that the Soviets have already sharpened their knives and are waiting to lift them up to slaughter?

The interview had aired, and President Carter was now sitting in front of the television, watching Nathan's questioning with a blank face.

"Mr. Nathan, are you so sure that the Soviets will take advantage of the situation to stir up another dispute?" James asked.

Nathan shook his head, "Of course I'm not sure, I'm not a prophet. If I'm sure, I'll go and warn the girl in advance to protect herself. ”

Nathan is not a prophet, he can make it clear, and his analysis now is only the worst-case scenario.

"Of course, I hope that this is all my own wild speculation, that the Soviets are still harmless like a little rabbit, as long as they live at the mouth of the Pacific Ocean, they will be there quietly watching the situation unfold, and even the Soviets will be forced by our President Carter to hand over those two Soviet workers to the local government to serve their sentences in the prisons of the island nation."

Nathan's words were more like a mockery.

"I'm just making the worst-case analysis based on our current situation." "No matter what's going on, we're going to try to be for the better, but we're always ready for the worst," Nathan said. If you are not prepared for this, then please do not play with fire. ”

The interview with Nathan was not long, less than ten minutes before and after, but it had already begun to be broadcast by various major television companies in prime time, and now Carter, looking at Nathan's last words, seemed to be an old politician.

Hum.

Looking at the TV turned off, President Carter couldn't help but let out a snort: "He just feels that this crisis has been resolved by us, and he is just dissatisfied in his heart, and he wants to stir up everyone's emotions and continue to publicize the merits of their Vietnam veterans. ”

President Carter's heart is clear, he is playing tricks, Soviets, willing to start war again?

True, the Soviets were careless in their last actions, but since they were already at peace, how could the Soviets have the courage to provoke a war? Just with those old guys?

If the Soviet Union dares to continue to provoke, as long as it cuts off their grain exports and see how the Soviets spend their lives, it will be early for the next autumn.

President Carter was confident.

"Mr. President, I would like to remind you." At this moment, Clay spoke: "We have investigated, Nathan does not make predictions easily, but almost all of the predictions he has made before have come true, he said that he is not a prophet, but, in the eyes of many of us, he is simply like a brilliant prophet. ”

Nathan has created countless myths, such as he piloted a fighter plane to fly over Sakhalin Island at a low altitude, only to discover the Soviets' hidden troops, such as the Soviets might land from eastern Hokkaido, and so on, and each time, he did not miss it.

There are no prophets in this world, it is all the result of a specific analysis and synthesis of various situations in reality, and then, plus a little bit of luck, and this Nathan, luck has never been missed.

It can be said that Nathan's prediction this time is still very probable.

Will the Soviets take advantage of this incident to make a big fuss? Although those two Soviet workers committed crimes, they did not commit crimes to death, and if someone harmed them, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be a big problem!

"Really? That is, the Soviets really wanted to make a big move in Hokkaido? President Carter looked at Clayter and said, "What do you think we should do?" ”

"Mr. President, we can't wait any longer, we need to transport our heavy troops to the island." "Only our M1 tanks can stand up to the Soviets' armored flood, and their tank forces will tear through the island's fragile defense at any moment," Clater said. ”

When the Hokkaido War began, the United States began to plan the transfer of the main army forces, but President Carter did not agree.

The Vietnam War scared President Carter, what if it was still a swamp? The United States can not continue to make senseless sacrifices, only the navy and air force, even if they confront each other, the main ground war, let the island countries fight.

However, the main battle tanks of the islanders are all Type 74, how can they confront the tanks of the Soviets? Even the United States, with only the latest M1 tanks, will do.

Since the 60s, the United States began to develop a main battle tank with new technology, hoping to break away from the basic design of the previous M-46/47/48 Patton series tanks in one fell swoop, but the process was not smooth and full of twists and turns.

Initially, the United States launched the T-95 in 1958, but due to immature technology and many problems, it died quickly, so it had to continue to use the technology of the M-48 to develop an improved version of the Patton: the M-60, a tall tank that was heavily equipped and became the main second-generation tank in the West.

Later, the United States began to jointly develop a general-purpose tank with Germany, but in the end, the two sides continued to have various filthy quarrels and finally parted ways.

The Germans created the Leopard-2 tank themselves, while the U.S. Army began the development of a new generation of the XM1 main battle tank in 1971, and in 1973 it was developed by Chrysler Munitions and General Motors, and a prototype was launched in 1976. After evaluation tests, which were won by Chrysler's design, this was the prototype of the M1 tank.

However, it was still GM in later generations, because Chrysler sold its military division to GM in 1982.

In late 1976, the American XM1 prototype and the German Leopard 2AV prototype were tested together at the Aberdeen tank test site in the United States.

In fact, you know with your toes that the Leopard 2 tank is here to play soy sauce, how could the United States be cheeky to purchase German tanks.

The M1 was officially unveiled in 1978, and in 1979 the first model was produced in 110 units.

Now, the most elite first armored division in the United States has been replaced with the M1 main battle tank, although this tank is still a 105 mm tank gun, it seems that the barrel is a little thin, but the use of the latest American research and development of armor-piercing shells, penetrating the Soviet tank is not a problem, and the Chobham armor used is quite thick, which can be said to be the most advanced tank.

Only they were able to withstand the attack of the Soviets' tank clusters.

Now, Clayter hopes the president will agree to his plan.

But, without a doubt, the president shook his head: "No." ”

Of course not, how much will it cost?
