The first update

The ripple effects of the arms race are not limited to Japan, but also to the Korean Peninsula. Since the Hae-Taiwan crisis, North Korea has conducted frequent live-fire exercises along the South Korean border, including decapitation operations and urban warfare. And the Korean People's Army declared that they could liberate the whole of South Korea and unify the Korean Peninsula in a short time.

This is unsettling for the South Korean government.

Obviously, the slightest change in the situation in the Asia-Pacific region will affect the balance of the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and the fact that the northern regime dares to conduct such unscrupulous combat exercises shows that it is very likely that they have received military assistance from China or the Soviet Union, and this military assistance will be fatal to South Korea.

South Korean President Kim Yong-sam had to visit the United States and began to ask for help. After all, the only thing that can help you now is the beacon of hope for humanity at the far end of the Pacific Ocean.

After listening to President Kim Yong-san's account, US President Mario frowned, and there were originally three aircraft carrier battle groups already on standby in the area near the Taiwan Strait, which would immediately intervene once a conflict broke out. They don't have time to worry about friction on the Korean Peninsula right now, given that all of America's top brass is targeting the Taiwan Strait.

Mario suddenly realized that the growing gunpowder situation in North Korea was not accidental, and that it was likely that other countries were behind North Korea and supported the Kim dynasty to create a conflict, so that the United States would not be able to take care of it. He remembered the previous arms sales between the Soviet Union and Japan, so the only person who created friction in various strategic points in Asia could be the Soviet Union.

Even so, the U.S. side still can't disperse its forces, the three aircraft carrier battle groups are already the limit, and his navy still has to maintain U.S. interests in other places overseas, so President Mario can only euphemistically say no to Kim Yong-san's request.

"We have noticed that North Korea has recently conducted frequent military exercises in the country, but the United States is not likely to intervene in advance." "But we can't let our allies be threatened by communist forces, so the United States is willing to send a batch of armaments to South Korea to help the South Korean government resist the threat from the north." ”

After hearing the answer of the President of the United States, Kim Yong-sam almost fainted out of breath, American armament? Are the combat effectiveness of the American mechanic and the US military the same level? Even Kim Yong-sam came to the United States to ask for help because he was not sure about his army, and no matter how much armament he sent, he would only be an enemy!

"But President Mario, the situation on the Korean Peninsula has changed a lot from before, not because of the donation of armaments, but because we really feel the threat from the north. If this Asia-Pacific conflict is not properly resolved, the conflict on the Korean Peninsula will only intensify, not ease. If the U.S. side can't maintain order, then it won't be a matter of border conflicts. ”

Kim Yong-sam accentuated his tone, "The Korean People's Army in the north can capture Seoul within 24 hours and fall South Korea within a week. And you can only go back and clean up the mess on the Korean Peninsula after the conflict in the Straits is over. ”

First Japan, then North Korea, the Soviet Union was putting pressure on the United States on all fronts, and the purpose was naturally to force the United States to choose to abdicate on the Taiwan issue.

After the South Korean president's unproductive visit, Mario began to anxiously consult with the White House think tank about the deepening Asia-Pacific crisis that has been deduced by all sides. The United States does not want to withdraw, but it is unwilling.

As the leader of the National Security Council in the presidential office, the U.S. national adviser participated in the meeting, a secret meeting that even the U.S. State Department had been avoided, and the results of the meeting were later known to the few people present.

"It was an all-round contest in Japan, where they used all sorts of forces against the United States, including Shigenobu, the daughter of the leader of the Red Army, as a Soviet-backed force, and Soviet foreign investors who cooperated with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries began to sell their weapons on Japanese soil under the sign of joint ventures. This is information obtained by the CIA through high-altitude photography of reconnaissance satellites, in which the Korean People's Army is mobilizing its military forces, and in some military bases, there are even more tanks and armored vehicles than before, and intelligence analysts speculate that these weapons are likely to come from the countries that support him, and finally the Chinese side, and then the Soviet Union. Then five days after the arrival of these new weapons, the conflict on the border between North and South Korea began to intensify. ”

After explaining so much information to U.S. President Mario in one go, Anthony Lake began to analyze the Soviet Union's offensive methods, "It is clear that this time the Soviet Union has taken advantage of the crisis of mistrust between Japan and the United States to infiltrate Japanese politics, and we also have reason to believe that Ryutaro Hashimoto has accepted some kind of favor from the Soviet Union, which is dangerous for the unbreakable U.S.-Japan alliance." ”

"Then there is the issue of the conflict between North and South Korea, which has not changed for thousands of years, and it is not so much that the Soviet Union and China are pushing the situation in an extreme direction, but rather creating opportunities for arms sales for the Soviet Union." Anthony Lake held a pencil in his mouth and said unhurriedly, "It is not good for both sides to develop the situation in North Korea to the extreme, after all, no one wants to tear their faces and fight each other now, so I think that the Soviet Union wants to sell arms to South Korea is the last possible thing." ”

"Exacerbate the conflict and then sell arms?" Mario's tone was a little incredulous, if he really wanted to do this, wouldn't North Korea make a fuss?

"Isn't this a common tactic? President Mario, during the Iran-Iraq war, China also sold tanks to Iran and Iraq at the same time, and the Soviet Union just wanted to control the situation on the peninsula under the balance of the tip of a knife. ”

"So how should we respond to Soviet provocations?" Mario asked.

"Ignore it and solve the Haitai issue wholeheartedly." Anthony Advisor gave a solid suggestion.

"Since the Soviet Union did not intend to trigger a conflict on the Korean Peninsula, then we did not need to care about their movements, but instead kept an eye on Taiwan's every move, and we must not let them achieve reunification. As for Japan, it will endure a small loss for the time being, and when the Asia-Pacific crisis is over, it will turn around and deal with and sweep away those dissident forces. The Soviets wanted to stir up a storm in the Asia-Pacific region, but they underestimated America's ability to control. ”

Anthony's adviser said coldly, "After all, the United States controls one-third of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, and I would like to see what capital the Soviet Union has to make waves." (To be continued.) )
