In fact, President Carter has wanted to call the hotline more than once and ask what Brezhnev over there thinks.

NATO and the Warsaw Pact, two powerful giant-like organizations, are constantly facing each other, and the United States and the Soviet Union are both nuclear-weapon powers, so if there is any misunderstanding, it may make terrible mistakes.

No one wants a real nuclear war, nuclear deterrence is meant to be used for deterrence, not for real use, just like a gangster fight, you move me to try, try to try, keep talking, but no one will do it, this is deterrence, really do it, and it will not repeat the topic of chickens and eggs just now.

And in order to avoid unexpected situations, the top management of the United States and the Soviet Union decided to be able to talk directly, which is the hotline.

It was a two-way telegraph circuit that ran through Washington, London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and Moscow, with the Washington-London section being connected by the world's first transatlantic telephone cable. In order to be safe, the United States and the Soviet Union also opened a backup radio communication line from Washington to Tangier (Morocco) to Moscow.

At the beginning, this kind of hotline was only a half-duplex mode, this mode, just like using a radio station, you press the intercom, then you can only speak, you can't hear the other party, if you listen to the other party, then you can't speak.

Therefore, with such equipment, the two will definitely not be able to quarrel.

In the beginning, it was just a telegram, not direct voice communication, not like a dialogue, but like reading a speech, until 71 years, with the advancement of technology, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to upgrade the military hotline system to a more advanced satellite transmission mode, by two American international communications satellites and two Soviet "Lightning-2" communication satellites to serve as information relay tasks, so that the United States and Soviet leaders to achieve real voice calls.

In the current situation, the conflict in Hokkaido is already escalating and could detonate a world war at any time, what did the Soviet leaders think? Carter was curious to know that the current crisis had reached the point of using the hotline, but now that the Soviet ambassador had arrived, President Carter still hoped that the two sides could sit down and talk until a mutually satisfactory outcome was reached.

If you can not use force, then do not use force and end this conflict peacefully and deciproquely, well, that's it.

With this in mind, President Carter met with Dobrynin.

In private, both sides are good friends, but now, the confrontation between the two countries has made President Carter's face full of majesty, and what happened recently was purely provoked by the Soviets, so he should be the first to protest, right?

Before President Carter could speak, Dobrynin spoke: "Mr. President, on behalf of Moscow, I would like to express my grave protest to you, last night, one of our troops lost its way and accidentally crossed the line of Rumo-Kushiro. They did it unintentionally, but they were bombarded indiscriminately by you, and you want to expand the conflict! This is a serious provocation against our Soviets! ”

This is the instruction of Moscow, so Dobrynin has to say this, in fact, Dobrynin is clear, what is lost, in fact, it is just an initiative, if it succeeds, it will completely occupy the whole of Hokkaido.

Unfortunately, this unit did not make good progress, and when it was about to pass through the most dangerous snowy mountains, it was actually discovered by the Americans, and the bombing made this unit in danger.

Now, many parts of the canyon have been blown up, and the armored troops are unable to move an inch, and when they run out of fuel, the troops may only have to surrender.

Of course not!

How to free this force? It was definitely not possible to rely on military force, the roads there were difficult, and it was not possible to send a second army over, so Dobrynin was simply sent over.

We were talking about the Kushiro-Rumo line, and our Soviets were about credibility, and our troops were just lost in the darkness and passed by accidentally.

We're just lost, you just keep blowing up, this is a provocation to our Soviets!

Hearing Dobrynin's words, Carter was actually confused in his brain, no, who reported to me to bomb this Soviet unit? Isn't this an expansion of the conflict?

Since they are lost, let them go.

However, of course, Carter would not have given the order to release him immediately, and if that did, he would indeed be stupid, stupid and cute, of course, in the eyes of the Soviets.

"Your landing in Hokkaido is the culprit of this incident." Carter said: "I wonder what Moscow really wants to do. Was it intended to provoke a third world war? Although we love peace, we will never compromise when war comes. ”

Carter's words were very harsh, but in Dobrynin's eyes, this is nothing at all, if you don't compromise, you should have acted a long time ago, until now, the mainland has not planned to send reinforcements, you have missed so many opportunities, you are simply stupid.

"We never wanted to fight World War III, we just wanted to take back what was rightfully ours." Dobrynin said: "At that time, it was clear that an agreement had been reached with President Roosevelt, and the island country was a defeated country, and it should have been divided and occupied, but we did not have it at that time, and we were all fooled by MacArthur!" ”

Historical events are not clear, and the 38th parallel of that year, the two sides obviously did not make it clear, or deliberately pretended to be confused, and as a result, the Americans took advantage.

"Your repeated actions have seriously angered us, and Moscow is already thinking about the worst possible situation." Dobrynin continued: "Right now, we are still working on the last chance for peace. If you stop bombing our lost army and let them return to the Kushiro-Rumoe line, then we can guarantee that we will only occupy the Kushiro-Rumo generation, and will definitely not advance half a step south, otherwise, we will prepare for a world war! ”

"How is that possible?" President Carter said: "We will not agree to this kind of territorial demand. ”

In the northern part of the Kushiro-Rumo line, the Soviets only occupied about a quarter of the territory, and the Soviets actually wanted to pass the territory? Wouldn't everyone curse if you did that?

"It looks like we can't come to any deal." Dobrynin said: "I'm so sorry, President Carter, that you are a peace-loving president, but now, in your office, World War III is about to break out." ”
