Chapter 44: Backfire Over the Thousand Islands (Part II)
(Correcting the error, I checked the information, it turns out that the Japanese version of the F16 is actually their F2 fighter, which can be said to be the Japanese version of the F16, but the prototype will not be completed until 95, and the F16 in the previous chapter will all be changed to F15.) )
Pavlov sat on the sofa, looked at the Japanese prime minister who was still pretending to be calm, picked up the teacup and opened the porcelain lid, took a sip slowly, and said, "Now I guess the whole world is watching Japan's reaction, think about what kind of news will appear in your country the next day." "Soviet fighters are approaching Japan's airspace strongly, and Self-Defense Force fighters dare not intercept them" or "The Soviets are angry, and the Japanese prime minister is afraid of resigning"? ”
Japan did not dare to make a move, because he did not know whether the tyrant was really sitting on top of the backfire bomber. But the USSR was not going to stop provoking either, and Prime Minister Toshiki Kaibe was doomed to pay for his statements the other day. But there is also a deeper political connotation in Pavlov's eyes, and it is also a silent warning to the heavyweight opponent on the other side of the Bering Strait.
The Japanese Prime Minister took a deep breath and calmed down before asking, "So what kind of ending does Pavlov want to see?" Will my fighter jet probably be shot down by the bomber of the supreme leader of your country, and then start the mode of Soviet conquest of Japan, and even the conquest of the world? Or did Japan give in and allow the Soviet Union to trample on the sovereignty of our country, and our side expressed serious protests? ”
"No, no, Your Excellency Toshiki Umibe, we are passing through the Kuril Islands just to reaffirm our sovereignty issue, as for the trade agreements we said before are still valid, we have recently been in a large-scale reduction of troops, tanks and helicopter gunships and the like are cheap and affordable, and there are also quantity discounts, everything is negotiable, or Your Excellency Toshiki Umibe will think about it." Pavlov added at the end, "And those weapons are not foreign trade versions, they are the essence of the original Soviet Union." ”
There are no longer a few countries and organizations that are concerned about this large-scale arms sale by the Soviet Union, and some of them are even illegal groups of organizations that are not recognized by the international community, such as the Peruvian Shining Path, and the notorious Colombian Escobar group. Because Yanayev gave Viktor Bout an order that except for the direct opponents of the Soviets, any organization could buy arms, of course, illegal organizations could only trade in cash on the spot, and the unrestricted trade brought Viktor's talent for arms trafficking into full play, and the amount of arms transactions reached 300 million US dollars in just a few days. It is expected to break his record of $2 billion in arms stolen after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Therefore, Japan received special attention from the Soviet leadership, and I don't know whether to cry or laugh. In the end, his own economic aid turned into arms sales to other countries, and Toshiki Umibe smiled bitterly, "You mean that the Soviet Union was provoking the armistice agreement while telling us that the Soviets came from Russia with peace?" By the way, sell second-hand arms to strengthen the Japanese armed forces? ”
"Or else? I remembered that there was another organization in Japan called the Red Army, and I heard that since 1979 their actions have been mentally discouraged and have turned into a low ebb. Of course, they regard the Japanese government and the Soviet Union as enemies, but they are out-and-out ultra-leftist forces, and if the Soviet government settles its old suspicions with them and cooperates amicably, what do you think will happen to Japan? ”
Pavlov added another sentence that made Toshiki Umibe's eyelids jump, "Ah, I think about it, I'm afraid that Japan will be attacked every day by then." But I think the most unlucky thing may be the ashes altars in the Yasukuni Shrine, which should be blown up by the bombs. ”
"Are you a threat?" Toshiki Umibe narrowed his eyes and looked at the calm Prime Minister Pavlov with a terrifying look. But the other party was unmoved, and continued to say to himself, "Of course not, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." We just want to tell you who the potential targets of the Soviet arms sales are, for us, doing business with you is the same as doing business with the Red Army, if you don't buy it, he will buy it. The relationship between you and me has deteriorated, and the Red Army will get more weapons subsidies, so. ”
Pavlov, who continued to attack psychological warfare, stretched his waist and paused deliberately before saying, "Think about it yourself." ”
Abandoning the ideological confrontation, the Soviet arms sales are like a businessman with no moral bottom line, as long as he gives enough funds, he will sell lethal weapons to you without pressure, and will not be terminated because of the Japanese government's involvement in the arms business, the big deal is not to sell biological and chemical weapons to the Red Army, sell a few more Kalashnikov rifles and RPG shoulder-fired rockets.
Just when Toshiki Umibe was at a loss, Pavlov muttered to himself again, "Oh, Pozruz Island is going to be renovated again, and the **,** and Soman's inventory inside are going to be in an emergency, and we have to move out a batch of old ones to accommodate the new biological and chemical weapons." ”
Toshiki Umibe took a deep breath of cold air and softened his tone, "Okay, I agree to your request." On the issue of national territory, the controversy will be abandoned for the time being, and as for the issue of arms sales, I hope that the Soviet government will come up with a reasonable preferential price. True, we also do not want a batch of high-end weapons to fall into the hands of the enemy. ”
Apparently he was moved and wanted to strengthen the armed forces of the Self-Defense Forces, but he had to show that Japan was coerced by the Soviet Union to buy weapons and armaments, and Pavlov gave the hypocritical prime minister a middle finger in his heart.
"Japan is a reserved little Bichi, don't expect to be able to successfully conclude an arms deal with them, after all, there is a shadow of US imperialism behind them, they will definitely come out to stir up the situation, but if you can complete the deal, it would be better, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, anyway, we still have potential customers in Japan, the Red Army and the Aum Church. These people wish they could get weapons from us. Yanayev had analyzed and summarized the current situation in Japan in the past.
What if these two extremist terrorist groups really overthrew the Japanese government? Yanayev has also maintained a vision of schadenfreude.
"Let your Soviet planes evacuate the airspace near Hokkaido, Japan, now, or we won't make a deal with you." The prime minister, who has no confidence, is also humble when he orders his opponent, and this is the world of fist fighting.
"Of course, in fact they were just a normal patrol." Prime Minister Pavlov, whose mission has been completed, got up and said goodbye to Toshiki Kaibe, "If the agreement is signed, it will be signed tomorrow, and I hope Your Excellency can have a good night's sleep tonight." ”
The time for the show is almost up, according to the original sailing plan of the Backfire bomber, it is now ready to turn around and return to Vladivostok, as the pilot Backfire bomber sent a signal to the escort Su-27 fighters, before leaving, Yanayev did not care at all about playing with the two F2 fighters behind him.
At Yanayev's command, the Su-27 and Backfire bombers simultaneously released a thermal decoyant called the "Angel of Death" in the tail, and the burning magnesium powder lit up the dark night sky like a fleeting meteor, and the flames burning in mid-air brought a scratch visible to the naked eye. Just like the pure white wings of Archangel Michael, they also symbolize bloody killing.
The pilots of the two F2 fighters behind them were half frightened, thinking that the Soviet Air Force was finally about to declare war, but just as they put their hands on the cannon launch button, the other side changed course and quietly burrowed into the dark world outside Japanese airspace. Only the magnificent landscape of the wings remains.
"Is this a show of power with us?" The pilot of one of the F2 fighters muttered to himself, watching the three planes out of view before returning to the air base in Hokkaido. Although the situation was finally resolved satisfactorily, everyone always felt that there was a suffocating energy in their hearts.
On the Soviet side, Yanayev greeted the heart-wrenching leaders of the Nakhodka airbase and said that the situation was a happy end. When they heard Yanayev himself say, "Operation 'Wrath of the Third Rome' was successfully completed, repeated, Operation 'Wrath of the Third Rome' was successfully completed." Everyone in the command room cheered loudly and clapped their hands in celebration.
The code name for this operation was also the result of Yanayev's rejection of public opinion, others wanted to use a code name closely related to the Soviet Union, but Yanayev insisted on using the title of Third Rome led by the Orthodox Church, in order to make the angel wings of the last scene coincide.
And that wing also has a deeper metaphor in Yanayev's heart, half divine angelic aura, half evil demon wings, the angel of death with the head of the wicked in his hand, who will use blood and sword to re-establish a new empire in the darkness.
All this is just the beginning.
