Chapter 209: The Great Wave of Soviet Steel
(The third update, nearly 10,000 words of the goal has been achieved, in fact, today is also the fourth watch, but this plot is compressed into three chapters)
The aircraft carrier Kuznetsov, with a displacement of 53,000 tons, is approaching Japan's Hokkaido islands, and although it is indicated that they are conducting exercises in the waters of Okhotsk, in fact they are continuing to approach Japan's waters, creating a strategic threat to them, and the Maritime Self-Defense Force is now concentrating all its forces in the waters of Tsushima, and the Maritime Self-Defense Force has done nothing on the island of Hokkaido.
In terms of strategic advantages, Kunashir, Shikotan, Seto, and Hamai were all spheres of influence of the Soviet Union, and even the Nemuro Strait was not completely in their own hands, while the Soviet fleet had a natural outlet to the Kunashir waterway. In terms of naval strength, the Soviet Union had an aircraft carrier battle group that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces could not match, but what about Japan? Why don't you get rid of the security treaty around your neck first?
The Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which is considered a behemoth in the Sea of Okhotsk, is heading in the direction of the South Kuril Islands, and adjacent to him is the aircraft carrier Varyag, which has just been launched into service.
The sky is clear, the sea is blue, and walking on the deck of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is like walking on the ground, and the waves are churning under their feet without shaking at all. The sailors of the Navy did not have the fatigue of ocean voyages, but the uncharacteristically excited. Because they are about to go to the waters of Japan to slap the monkey in the face of the archipelago nation. In the Pacific Ocean, according to Marshal Smirev, except for the American fleet. No one has yet been able to stop our great waves of steel.
The sailors of the Pacific Fleet almost instantly fell in love with the phrase the Great Wave of Steel. The same as the Army's steel torrent statement. Privately, the soldiers refer to their carrier battle group as the Iron Wave. They are a sharp blade that plunges directly into the heart of the Pacific Ocean, and any enemy in front of us is nothing more than a soft piece of tofu that can be cut by a knife at any moment.
Just like the slogan put forward by Yanayev, the Pacific Fleet is to "frighten the brute ship to run away, and the uncle will not care if it hits it." "The hegemony of small East Asian countries wants to fight with us? Is this tired? Except for the United States, you small countries that want to argue with us are all garbage, is it garbage, okay?
In this way, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group reached the South Kuril Islands all the way to the South Kuril Islands. They will conduct a live-fire exercise at sea in the sea closest to Japan. Of course, the Japanese Navy immediately dispatched naval units to be vigilant and observant, fearing that the other side would give itself a surprise attack in the name of the exercise. Of course, similar dirty things have been done in Japan's history.
However, the huge size of the Soviet fleet really surprised the Japanese Navy, and in terms of the number of ships alone, it was not comparable to Japan, and the large and small ships surrounded the aircraft carrier like a moon and a moon, like a moving sea fortress, and even there was an astonishing number of carrier-based aircraft in the sky to cover it, and it can be said that the only thing that could threaten the US Navy now was the Soviet fleet.
"Terrible fleet, terrible navy. What is even more terrifying is that such an enemy is actually next to us. A stone's throw away. This was the conclusion reached by the Japanese expert after observing the Soviet naval fleet, which reminded him of Japan's eternal nightmare at Midway, at Iwo Jima, and in the Pacific Ocean -- the US Pacific Fleet.
And now, this red nightmare is calling for the deepest fears of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, the awe of a powerful adversary after the shattered dream of a megalomaniacal national navy. It's obvious. The current Soviet Union has inherited the same sense of fear that the Americans gave to Japan, and the waves of red steel from the north are looking at the poor island nation.
On the day of the exercise, the Soviet Navy suddenly announced that a soldier had disappeared near the sea after a live-fire exercise, and although it did not and asked to enter Japanese waters to search for it, such a claim was enough to startle them.
This was the reason why the Japanese Army invaded other countries. The Japanese Navy hastily elevated Hokkaido to a pre-war mobilization emergency, and Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa also called the White House to the presidential hotline, hoping that the Soviet Union would really have a maritime conflict with Japan, and that the Pacific Fleet would quickly intervene to prevent the situation from escalating.
President Mario agreed, of course, and Washington immediately informed the Navy to send the USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group to the waters of Okhotsk, where it intercepted the approaching Soviet fleet. But halfway through the voyage, the Soviet fleet again issued a statement claiming that the lost soldiers had been found and that they would continue to conduct live-fire training in the waters off the South Kuril Islands for two days before withdrawing from the South Kuril Islands.
Although on the surface, the Soviet Union seemed to be forced to withdraw its troops from the area because of the coercion of the United States, in fact it was a cruel prank of the Pacific Fleet and the Japanese Navy. A futile long-distance attack, a frightened wait for rescue, and the previous exercises made the other side lose face, at least the strategic purpose of the Soviet Pacific Fleet has been achieved. In the future, if any of you dare to come here sideways, first ask me if the brick in the polar bear's hand will be agreed.
There is no doubt that Gen Nakatani has caused a great disaster, and even the Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa, who has always been gentle and gentle, has lost his temper with him, "This is what you call the reorganization of the Japanese army?" Even if a joint exercise fails, this time the Soviets swaggered into your house, flaunted their might to you, and even drew their knives and threatened you not to publish the sovereignty issue in the future. Is that what you want to see? ”
"It's not." Although Nakatani Gen was unwilling, in the face of the Prime Minister's accusations, he still had to bow his head and admit his mistakes.
"During World War II, you should have committed suicide long ago, Your Excellency Gen Nakatani. I have never seen a stupid director of the Self-Defense Agency like you, knowing that our military strength cannot compete with the Soviet Union, but he still has to bite the bullet, is this what you call a plan to reorganize the Japanese army? ”
Kiichi Miyazawa's words were like a sharp knife piercing Gen Nakatani's heart, he buried his head lower, this time the fault must be borne by him alone, and Japan also needs a guilty lamb.
"I hope that when this matter is resolved, you will submit your resignation to me." Kiichi Miyazawa's voice was very cold, and the fact that Gen Nakatani and the U.S. government coerced him to buy armaments was still vivid, which led to an undue deficit in Japan's finances, and there was not even enough money to deal with the economic downturn during this period.
Gen Nakatani must move from the position of director of the Self-Defense Agency and change to a **** figure to preside over the overall situation, so that Kiichi Miyazawa can take time out of the international affairs of the palace and concentrate on dealing with the overall situation of the domestic economy.
"I will submit my resignation and give an account to the cabinet." Nakatani Yuan knew that the general trend was gone, and the only thing he could do was to save a little fire for himself, so that he could have a chance to turn the tables in the future.
"Very well, you can step down. In a few days I will have to negotiate with the Soviet government, an apology for the incident, and peace talks on the four northern islands. Kiichi Miyazawa helplessly held his forehead and said, he hoped to exchange short-term compromises and concessions for the stability of Japan's surrounding environment.
As soon as he heard that Miyazawa Kiichi was going to negotiate with the Soviet Union, Nakatani Gen immediately became anxious, and he forcibly stepped forward to dissuade Miyazawa Kiichi's idea despite the Prime Minister's order, "But the Northern Islands are of great significance to us, and even related to the issue of inalienable sovereignty, if we compromise and retreat in this regard, I am afraid that the entire Japanese society will lose confidence in us, I hope you think twice, Prime Minister." ”
"Do you have a better way than peace talks?" Kiichi Miyazawa asked rhetorically with a frown, his tone was obviously impatient, "With the assistance of the Pacific Fleet, launch a naval jade smash charge and end up with the Soviet fleet?" Even if you say yes, I won't say yes, and Japanese society as a whole is unlikely to say yes. ”
"But we can use this incident to blow the wind on the side of the United States and get them to relax the restrictions of the security treaty." Gen Nakatani had been thinking about the Americans for a long time, "Especially on the issue of civilian and military unification of the Self-Defense Forces, if the top level is just an incompetent clerical official, it is impossible to have a far-sighted strategic ......."
"That's enough, Nakatani Gen, please get me out immediately." Kiichi Miyazawa, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally broke out, "From today on, I don't allow you to put forward any so-called plans to increase the strength of the Self-Defense Forces, and I don't want to hear you blow the wind in my ear, I guess it's the Prime Minister of Japan, and you're just the director of the Self-Defense Agency, if I don't see your resignation tomorrow, get out of the government building for me, it's getting better and better." ”
This is the first time that Kiichi Miyazawa has been furious, and he shocked the unreasonable Nakatani Gen, he looked straight into Nakatani's eyes, and said word by word, "Wait for the press conference to be held, and I will declare to the public that this is your mistake, and you alone will bear it, and it has nothing to do with the Japanese government." ”
"You can't do this, I'm a person who has contributed to the Japanese army, and I'm the director of the Self-Defense Agency who has done my best for the Japanese nation, and for my sake, I ask the prime minister to give me a hand." Gen Nakatani anxiously begged Kiichi Miyazawa that if all the black cauldrons were to be carried by him, then he would never have a chance to return to politics.
"Go and tell the people these things yourself."
Miyazawa turned around and put on a cold attitude, indicating that he never wanted to see this man again, and that he had more important things to do, which was to negotiate peace with the Soviet government. (To be continued.) )
