Chapter 866: Operation Scarecrow One
For this scarecrow-class deterrent operation, the Single-Crown Bay Naval Base can be said to be a nest of people, with surface ships including the USS Washington nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the USS Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, two Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, two Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ships, four Virginia-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers, one Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser, four Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, six Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, eight Spruance-class missile destroyers, and six Perry-class frigates.
On the nuclear submarine side, eight Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, four Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines, one Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, and ten Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines were dispatched to form a two-aircraft carrier battle group and enter Japan's territorial waters in a mighty manner.
The Air Force dispatched two squadrons of B-52 strategic bombers, two squadrons of Tu-95 strategic bombers, two squadrons of F-15 fighters and two squadrons of F-16 fighters, as well as four squadrons of Longbow Apache helicopter gunships, to toss back and forth around the coast of Japan, not including the long-range firepower of the ground forces, which frightened many residents of the seaside and had to urgently move to the interior.
"Your Excellency Marcas, the fleet of the naval base you have chosen to capture the island has now entered Japan's territorial waters, and strategic bombers and fighters have also entered Japan's airspace, which is a definite act of aggression against Japan, which has triggered strong social unrest, caused panic and huge economic losses to Japan, and I need a reasonable explanation!" Prime Minister Tie said with a blushing face, his voice trembling a little.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the mercenary regiment's strategic transport aircraft was attacked by the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, resulting in the death of more than 100 generals and colonel-level officers, it is clear that you were the first to provoke the mercenary regiment, and it is normal for us to react like this, if we do not get a satisfactory answer, the mercenary regiment will do whatever it takes to avenge the death of our comrades-in-arms!" Marcus said confidently.
"The Japanese Ministry of Defense is confident that it will protect its country from any threat, Your Excellency Marcas, the mercenaries must stop their wrongdoings and immediately withdraw from Japan's territorial waters and airspace, otherwise, they will inevitably be counterattacked by us!" The Minister of Defense said angrily.
"At least now our nuclear submarine is still floating on the water, I advise you, Your Excellency, it is more practical to pray that your anti-aircraft missiles will not be launched by mistake again, and it will not be an accident if there is a second similar situation!"
"By the way, the mercenary army's newest arsenal ship and 10,000-ton destroyer are already on their way, one arsenal ship can carry five hundred missiles, and you can calculate for yourself whether Japan can withstand the bombardment of two thousand five hundred missiles!" Marcus doesn't eat this!
The Federal Government of the Golden Triangle is going to war with the Japanese Government! In a very short period of time, this news spread all over the world, causing a great sensation, and news media reporters who were not afraid of death rushed to Japan one after another to cover the news, and this was a good opportunity to make a splash.
Japan was the most directly threatened by war, and a large number of wealthy businessmen in the country began to fly abroad, wherever they went, but they did not want to stay in Japan. The airport was chaotic in a short period of time, air tickets could not be bought after a hundredfold increase, major enterprises began to take holidays, residents stayed at home and did not dare to go out, the streets became deserted, many city residents ran to the countryside, and the first to be bombed must have been the city.
What happened at Yokosuka Naval Base could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of intelligence officers from various countries, and the fact that the mercenary corps was making a big move to send such a luxurious naval and air force lineup can explain a lot of suspicions.
First of all, there is no doubt that the wrecked plane must have belonged to the mercenaries, otherwise the American warship would have caught fire, and the mercenaries would have no reason to enter a state of imminent war with the Japanese government. Secondly, there must be something remarkable or important on this plane that makes the mercenary corps not hesitate to fight.
"The mercenary corps is too bullying, and they want 30 billion dollars in compensation when they open their mouths, thinking that the Japanese government's foreign exchange reserves are blowing in the wind?" The Minister of Finance grinned in distress, and his eyes were red when he looked at the Minister of Defense, an amount equivalent to one-thirteenth of Japan's foreign exchange reserves.
"That's better than the United States constantly squeezing Japan's wealth, the three warships that Yokosuka was hit by the wreckage of the plane and caught fire, according to our experts, the cruiser and destroyer did not suffer fatal damage, even the amphibious command ship of the Blue Ridge, which can also be re-entered into service through the maintenance of the original repair, and the United States actually wants us double the compensation, and a victim also needs a pension of two million dollars, and the Americans are all made of gold?" The Foreign Secretary looked disdainful.
As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy, and Japan is a dependent country to the United States, accepting the protection of the US government, and then using its own economy to transfuse blood for the United States.
"In the final analysis, it is our navy itself that has made a mistake, otherwise there would not have been such a situation, at least the mercenary corps is more credible and will not blackmail us repeatedly with this matter. According to the information of the United States, these killed generals and colonels are all elite commanders who have been in actual combat for a long time, and no amount of money can make up for this shortcoming! ”
"The reason why the mercenary corps wants so much money is not casually, we actually know the specific reason, that is, the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo some time ago, I am afraid that the military operation of the mercenary corps is the most important factor." said the Chief Cabinet Secretary.
The mercenary regiment was attacked by the multinational army on the battlefield of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with more than 22,000 casualties and the two main divisions losing their combat effectiveness, which has never happened in the history of the mercenary corps, and the driving force behind the multinational force is the Japanese government secretly manipulated, although there are very few people sent, but the apportionable military expenditure is very high, the mercenary corps is not a fool, of course, it can find out what is going on afterwards, and asking for this money is also compensation for that war.
"I'll talk about this later, the situation is urgent at the moment, the Self-Defense Forces are the cornerstone of Japan's security, if the mercenaries start a war against us, without the support of the American army, can you give me a definite answer, can you protect Japan's security?" The Prime Minister asked.
"Your Excellency, without the support of the U.S. government and the participation of the U.S. military stationed in Japan, with our current military strength, we cannot compete head-on with the mercenary corps, and the fleet and strategic bomber formations we are facing now can turn most of Japan's cities into ruins within 24 hours, and that is an unbearable blow!" The Minister of Defense said helplessly.
"Although the stationing of US troops in Japan has played a certain role in sheltering, it has also slowed down the opportunity for us to independently develop weapons and equipment, and in the long run, it is very unfavorable to Japan's national defense construction. I think in the future, we still have to take the road of our own research and development, so as not to be dragged down by the United States! Said the Chief of Staff of the Self-Defense Forces Unified Staff.
