Chapter 332: We Protest
The Hokkaido War broke out very suddenly, and the stop was very strange, or rather, very dramatic, which surprised countless military observers.
Seeing that the war was constantly escalating, it seemed that it was about to evolve into a direct confrontation between the two major clusters of the East and the West, or even the Third World War, and as a result, it suddenly died down.
The Soviets occupied about one-sixth of Hokkaido, and they were opposed by the island's army, but neither side crossed the border.
Observers have different views on the ceasefire.
Those who yearn for peace, and think of their loved ones who died in Vietnam, are full of gratitude to President Carter. It was because of President Carter's peaceful settlement that the war did not come, and if war broke out this time, it would definitely be a world war, and they supported President Carter.
Anyway, it was just a small piece of it, and it is said that President Roosevelt promised it back then.
However, there are also many people who scoff at this.
President Carter, who is fit to be an ambassador of peace at the United Nations, but not to be president of the United States, was so weak when he should be tough that he didn't know what it meant to lose a small piece of Hokkaido's territory.
In the protection of the territory, there is no compromise, a concession means a concession, in the future, there will be a second and third time!
Moreover, with the Soviets occupying the northeastern corner of Hokkaido, they have gained an excellent port, even if they will not deploy too many warships there for fear of a sudden war blow, but a port that is ice-free has already given the Soviets too many benefits.
What's even more terrifying is that now don't look at the Soviets holding on to a corner, but as long as the Soviets are willing, they can continue to advance rapidly at any time and occupy the whole of Hokkaido!
Looking at Europe, why is the confrontation so strong? It is because the two sides are bordering on land, and the most powerful thing for the Soviets is the army, and now, the Soviets have occupied Hokkaido, so their strong army advantage can be brought into play at any time, and from now on, the island country will never be at peace, and war will break out at any time!
Because we saw this in advance, the contradictions between Secretary of Defense Harold and President Carter were irreconcilable, and they had already submitted their resignations to President Carter, and the dissatisfaction with President Carter in the military was also overflowing.
"Damn, what the hell is going on?" After returning home, the B-52 bomber landed safely with the bomb, and as he got off the plane, Captain Carory cursed.
When you have a delicious lunch in front of you, and you are ready to eat with a knife and fork, and suddenly a big hand behind you drags you away, and there is nothing left, what will be the mood at this time?
The fingers were all on the bomb knob, and as a result, they flew back, and the Soviet soldiers who tried to sneak attack the Chitose base and attack Sapporo actually escaped with their lives!
This is already a war, the Soviets want to seize all of Hokkaido, and if the Soviets were blown up at that time, they would definitely leave Hokkaido completely!
Angry, Carory kicked the wheels, and he looked at the other people with equally ugly faces.
At this point, it was already afternoon.
Nathan was on the aircraft carrier, sleeping soundly, for the past few days, he had been fighting, and he had not rested well, and today, after completing the search mission, returning to the warship, Nathan put down all his baggage, returned to his bed, and fell asleep.
It doesn't matter what kind of war he is, he will sleep well first, and then he will say, if he can't rest well, the next time he flies, I'm afraid that even landing will be a problem.
Nathan slept soundly, and in the dream, he seemed to see a smiling face again, but it was very vague, like Emily, like Jenny, and finally this face disappeared into nothingness.
"Hmph, what the hell is going on!"
"That's it, it's just a traitor, how can such a president come out!"
This voice kept echoing in his ears, and it was precisely because of this sound that the girl in his dream disappeared, and Nathan was quite angry, and his eyes slowly opened.
When he opened it, he saw that his small dormitory was full of people!
What's going on? Have you been kicked out of the dormitory for hiding women?
Nathan was still vague, just glanced at these people, and then turned his head to go back to sleep, just then, Gus below spoke: "Major Nathan, are you awake?" Something big is wrong. ”
Something is wrong? Nathan sat up all of a sudden, looking at the people below, all of whom were pilots of his 111 fighter squadron, and at this time, their eyes were full of anger.
What's the big deal? Could it be that the Soviets attacked the aircraft carrier formation and injured themselves?
I don't think so!
Nathan looked at these people strangely and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
It's not an order from your superiors, why are you gathered here to let me administer justice?
"Squadron leader, our government actually sued the Soviets for peace, divided them according to the current occupation area, and released all the Soviet troops that had been surrounded!"
It was a pilot who spoke, and his face was full of anger at this time, and we fought hard for days, in exchange for this ending?
In Vietnam, the United States was defeated and left in disgrace, it was an away game, and now, it is a home field! actually defeated, and unlike last time, this time it could have been won, but as a result, it was betrayed by the leader!
What should this make the soldiers who are fighting bloody on the front line think? What is the difference between this and betrayal?
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal." Nathan is lying down again, delaying my sleep!
"Hey, squadron leader, you've always been the main battler, this time, let's ask your superiors for instructions!"
"Yes, the other squadrons are already writing petitions."
Nathan twisted his head inside, "Do you remember the oath you took when you enlisted?" ”
It's really strange, this kind of lower-level soldiers are dissatisfied with the armistice, ask to continue fighting or something, and even have to write petitions and blood letters, it shouldn't be the style of American soldiers, soldiers don't interfere in politics, soldiers obey orders, this kind of iron law has actually begun to fade?
It can be seen that President Carter has done something so infuriating this time!
I will support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic; At the same time, I will be strong in my conviction and loyalty to the U.S. Constitution. I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and my superior commanders, provided that they are in accordance with military regulations and codes.
The oath at the time of enlistment tells American soldiers that they are the army to defend the interests of the United States, and that they are to strictly obey the orders of the president. And now, these military men are obviously dissatisfied with the president.
