What did the Soviets want to occupy Hokkaido for? It is definitely not that they were fooled by Roosevelt and pestered by MacArthur in the first place, and they were for strategic advantage.

Hokkaido, the surrounding sea does not freeze all year round, although it is separated from Sakhalin Island by a strait, but this climate is different, the Sea of Okhotsk in the north, in winter, will freeze, but Hokkaido will not.

The four northern islands were too small to maintain the stationing of the fleet, and now, even if they acquired a small piece of Hokkaido's territory, they could deploy the Pacific Fleet on it.

Nemuro Island, in particular, is exactly forming a bosom, and deploying the fleet there is definitely a pretty good plan, ready to come out at any time, and the southern peninsula of the harbor, which can also provide air defense cover.

However, it still has many shortcomings.

If the Soviets occupied the whole of Hokkaido, just like the history of the Red Soviet Union, then Hokkaido would be safe enough, but now, just like that, the rest is still the territory of the island country, so the deployment of the Soviets is not safe, because no matter what port it is, it is within the range of the firepower on this side.

We were afraid of the Soviet Union, and why wasn't the Soviet Union afraid of our own attack? Just like the Korean Peninsula, there will never be peace in the future.

Moreover, there was a process inside the Red Soviet Union, and Nathan can now pat his chest and say that the appetite of the Soviets is definitely not filled, how can a small northeastern corner of Hokkaido satisfy the Soviets?

The war will definitely continue.

In fact, the Soviets could not even fill Hokkaido's needs, and what the Soviets wanted to occupy in the end was the entire island country, especially the island of Honshu.

The advanced industries of the island countries are all located in the Pacific Rim Industrial Belt on the island of Honshu, and although the Soviets seem to be developed now, they are far behind in precision machining technology and electronic technology.

It is not easy for the Soviets to change this situation, because the Soviet Union's own industry is of this extensive type, they cannot develop too sophisticated technology, they either import from the island countries or occupy the island countries.

The Toshiba machine tool incident in history, that is, the Soviets imported high-precision processing equipment from the island country to process the propeller, and now, the Soviets have a greater appetite and simply occupy it directly, so all kinds of technology in the island country are not all Soviet?

This was the strategy of the Soviets for the future.

Once the Soviets make up for these shortcomings, the situation of the US Navy will be even worse, and those silent nuclear submarines will be their biggest trouble.

So, this President Carter is really a second man! Thinking of this, even Nathan couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Nathan, what two points did you say?" Colonel Steve asked.

In the U.S. military, there is this tradition, military democracy, when making plans, everyone can speak freely, and once the commander has made a decision, then no one will object, and the commander's orders will be fully carried out.

And Nathan, don't look at him as a small carrier-based aircraft pilot, no one underestimates Nathan's strategic insight anymore, Nathan is simply a gift from God to the US Navy!

Let's not talk about the major events in the past, just look at the present, how much of a role did Nathan play in this war?

If it weren't for Nathan, I'm afraid all of Hokkaido would be lost!

Before you know it, everyone has taken Nathan's experience very seriously.

Now, Nathan mentioned that there are two points to pay attention to, which are the two points, you say!

In the limelight, Nathan spoke: "The first point is that we must develop long-range anti-ship missiles, and at the same time, we can also serve as a ground attack. ”

In this war, the most aggrieved thing has to say that the S-300 position against the Soviets was dealt with, and under the circumstances at that time, the US Navy could not come up with suitable long-range attack weapons, so Nathan had to use the law to make the immortal bird missile fly with the Mozue missile, which was the final solution to the problem.

Looking at later generations, the US Navy's long-range ground attack capability is quite powerful, and every time it strikes any country, the first wave must be the Tomahawk cruise missiles launched by the Navy!

The Tomahawk missile, codenamed BGM-109, is a long-range, all-weather, short-winged, subsonic cruise missile. The main characteristics are long range, low flight altitude, certain stealth ability, strong penetration ability, good damage effect, strong versatility, and can be launched from various platforms. And it is small in size and light in weight, and the ejection wing and tail are foldable for easy transportation and launch. And the use of elasticity, flexible and high survivability.

Tomahawk is famous, however, the development of this missile, it took a long time, in fact, it was not too late to carry out the project, the US Naval Aviation Command and General Dynamics launched it in 1970, began to develop it in May 1972, and made its first test flight in 1976, but it was not until 1983 that it was equipped with the troops for service.

This speed, of course, is like a snail crawling, too slow, and Nathan is definitely not satisfied.

If there is a Tomahawk, this battle will be much easier to fight, and those big guys of the S-300 will be difficult to intercept with a hundred shots against ultra-low-flying cruise missiles, as long as one of them slips through the net, it can be blown to pieces.

At the same time, in addition to the tomahawk, it is the harpoon.

If you don't have a Tomahawk or a Harpoon, the US Navy doesn't have a decent precision strike weapon for sea and land in its arsenal.

Historically, the air-launched Harpoon was in service in 79, and now it may be a few months away, but even if the Harpoon is equipped, it is still not enough.

Because there is that Andrey on the opposite side, the US Navy will face a terrible enemy, and it will also have a powerful aircraft carrier formation, and what it needs is supersonic anti-ship missiles!

Yes, it's the same type of big guy who uses ramjet engines as the Soviets, and that's the only way to do it.

Nathan has put it forward now, and the first priority is to quickly urge the military industry research and development department to quickly put the Tomahawk missile into production, get the Harpoon missile out as soon as possible, and then develop a new supersonic anti-ship missile.

At least in a few months, once it resumes, we can do a rain of missiles.

"What? Nathan, you say, we still have to engage in supersonic anti-ship missiles? That's a big guy, we don't seem to have a suitable fighter to carry it at the moment! Petro Bori said.

The Harpoon is okay, and almost all of your own attack aircraft can be mounted, but supersonic anti-ship missiles are different, and these are almost all big guys!
