After Ryohei Tani's report, Nachi Takano immediately went to the Prime Minister's Office and reported the situation to the village.!!

He didn't bring Ryohei Taniki with him, because this young man who shined in Bangkok was already eye-catching enough, not only became a leader in Japan's National Intelligence Agency, but was also received and commended by the prime minister. Anyone who poses a threat, Nachi Takano is wary.

Seeing Sadamasa Murakami, Nachi Takano first introduced the situation.

Finding out that North Korea was making military moves, Murakami Sadamasa called Nachi Takano and asked about the specific situation. Citing an ongoing investigation, Nachi Takano did not immediately report to the prime minister. It's not that Nachi Takano doesn't know what's going on, it's that he doesn't want to report to the prime minister until he really gets hold of the situation. Last year, when South Korean President Yoo Jong-chun's motorcade was bombed on his way to Busan, Takano Nachi pretended to be clever and patted his chest to ensure that Yoo Jong-chun had been killed before receiving accurate information. It turned out that it was Yanagi's secretary and two bodyguards who were killed, and because of a very important meeting, Yanagi Zongchun temporarily canceled his inspection work in Busan and returned to Seoul instead.

"That is, this is not a separate incident."

Seeing that the prime minister was frowning, Takano Nachi didn't say much.

Murakami glanced at the sofa across from him and sat down Nachi Takano.

Compared with three years ago, Murakami is not only much older, with gray hair on his head and more obvious wrinkles, but also significantly haggard and no longer as confident as before.

In the face of practical difficulties, Murakami had to "bow his head".

After the Dokdo War (known in Japan as the Takeshima War), Japan did not gain anything from it except for the recovery of 2 islands.

In the face of an increasingly isolated international environment. Murakami Sadamasa can only go down.

Then. Murakami has pinned his hopes for Japan's return to the international community entirely on "strategic deterrence capability." According to Murakami's thoughts. As long as Japan has a strategic deterrent capability. The status of a nuclear power is recognized. The international community will once again accept Japan. Grant Japan the status of a great power.

There is no problem with Murakami's thoughts. The problem is that Japan has encountered a problem that cannot be solved by willpower.

Because inherently there are design flaws. Therefore, the development of the ZX-11 SLBM was terminated at the end of 2022. The ZX-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile development program was officially launched.

Got to this point. Japan has encountered insurmountable obstacles.

Normally. Any country is the first to develop SLBMs. At a minimum, the basic dimensions and weight data of SLBMs should be determined. And then build on that. Carry out the ground design work of strategic nuclear submarines. Japan's approach is completely different. The ZX-2 is not yet on board. The basic data on the ground of strategic nuclear submarines were determined by using the ground size and weight data of some of the Trident D5 submarine-launched ballistic missiles obtained from the Alamos laboratory. Construction of 2 strategic nuclear submarines began.

"So high" is a very apt description of Japan's approach.

The United States has successively developed the "Polaris" A11, A2, and A3, the "Poseidon" C33, and the "Trident" (also known as the "Trident" C4), a total of five submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and has accumulated rich experience and technology before finally developing the powerful "Trident" D5.

Is it possible that Japan wants to become fat in one sitting?

2 strategic nuclear submarines have been commissioned before the end of 2023, but they can only carry torpedoes and submarine-launched anti-ship missiles with a range of less than 300 kilometers, and until June 2024, they were equipped with 8 Z-11 cruise missiles with nuclear warheads, and they have not been equipped with submarine-launched ballistic missiles so far.

Japanese missile engineers had to develop SLBMs within the already established data range.

It is not impossible to do this, because the "Poseidon" C3 and "Trident" C4 were developed under the condition that the size data of the launch canister is basically determined. The problem is that Japan does not have any technological accumulation and does not even solve several key problems that SLBMs have to face.

The first test launch of the ZX-2 took place in early March 2023, and by the end of September 2024, all of them failed.

For Japan, which is anxious to obtain the status of a "great power", the successive test launches of the ZX-2 can only make the prospects more and more bleak.

Although Japan announced in June 2024 that it has a strategic nuclear threat capability, no country believes Japan's statement, because there is no secrecy in the ballistic missile test launch, success is success, failure is failure, and no country will recognize Japan's status as a nuclear power until Japan has its first SLBM.

According to the estimates of Japanese engineers, the development time of ZX-2 ~ will be extended by 3 years.

The reality may be even worse, the US Rand Corporation mentioned in a government-commissioned investigation report that Japan's SLBM development work will be more than 1 long, and it is a miracle that it can obtain combat deployment capability by the end of 2033.

Will Japan be able to get so much time?

South Korea's military expansion plan will be completed by June 2025 at the latest, and if the situation on the Korean Peninsula stabilizes, Yoo Jong-chun is likely to point the finger at Japan and test the combat capability of the South Korean army by recovering Dokdo.

If the Dokdo War is fought again, Japan will not win too easily, and will even suffer a crushing defeat.

South Korea purchased nearly 200 advanced fighter jets and six E-11 large early warning aircraft from the United States, including the 72F-22K, and obtained free cruisers including the Ticonderoga-class cruiser and the 6 Arleigh Burke

, 60F-15K fighters, and 120F-16C/D fighters, Dabei has produced many fighters in the mainland, including the F-35K and F-32K (light fighters developed by Boeing on the basis of the YF-32 and specially used for export on the basis of Boeing).

Over the past three years, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Air Force, South Korea has sent more than 1,000 pilots to the United States for training.

All of Liu Zongjun's work is to prepare for war.

Perhaps, there is nothing terrible about South Korea alone.

If South Korea takes the initiative to provoke a war, the United States will not come to the rescue.

What really scared Murakami was China across the sea.

At the end of 2022, China conducted the first combat test of the airborne laser interception system in the northwest region, which verified the effectiveness and actual combat prospects of the "air-based strategic defense system".

Although all intelligence agencies, including the National Intelligence Service, concluded that China could not build a national strategic defense system sufficient to deal with the Japanese ballistic missile threat in just a few years, Murakami understood two things at this time: first, why China did not take advantage of the Dokdo War to attack Japan, and second, China would never continue to tolerate it.

It was precisely because of the fear of Japan's nuclear threat that China endured again and again in 20211 and did not intervene.

If the Dokdo War breaks out again, China will certainly try by all means to create a casus bellido and take the opportunity to win over South Korea and destroy Japan's ground-based nuclear deterrent capability, so as to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.

The problem is back to square one.

If Japan has a real strategic deterrent capability, even if China acquires a national strategic defense capability, the United States, Russia, and other countries will put pressure on China because they are worried that Japan will adopt a policy of "nuclear binding," and even threaten to go to war with China, forcing China to abandon the idea of destroying Japan's nuclear forces.

This shows how great the significance of SLBMs is to Japan's national security.

The DPRK suddenly mobilized its troops, and the situation on the peninsula suddenly became tense.

When the Korean War breaks out and China sends troops, the United States will not die for South Korea, and it is very likely that it will "give up halfway" if China is fully involved. Survival is threatened, and no matter whether Liu Zongchun is a "unification faction" or an "expansionist", he will find ways to seek assistance. At that time, even if Murakami Sadamasa was very sensible and knew that it would not be beneficial for Japan to participate in the war, the soldiers led by Katsu Toji Tani would drag Japan into the war on the grounds of "taking the opportunity to enter the Korean Peninsula" and "returning to the Asian continent". As long as the Japanese army sets foot on the Korean Peninsula, there is no reason for China to use force against Japan.

At this point, it is not only South Korea that faces the test of life and death, but also Japan.

This is the reason why Murakami Sadamasa is worried.

After pondering for a while, Murakami Sadamasa spoke: "Judging from the current situation, the military mobilization of the DPRK has not only not exerted pressure on the ROK, but has eased the tension on the peninsula.

Why is that? ”

"Maybe Kim thinks that Shina is plotting to overthrow the North Korean regime."

Murakami Sadamasa frowned slightly, not denying Nachi's statement.

There is indeed such a possibility, China is using peaceful means to "transform" North Korea, and when the time is ripe, it will naturally drive out the "Kim family" and let North Korea "change the dynasty".

Seeing that Murakami Sadamasa was silent again, Takano Nachi was late for a moment, and said boldly: "Your Excellency, this is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"What chance?"

Takano Nachi was stunned for a moment, and said stubbornly: "North Korea takes the initiative to alienate China, which can only make Liu Zongchun think that the time is ripe for the reunification of Korea." If we take this opportunity to improve relations with the ROK and take advantage of the ROK's desire to complete reunification and the United States' strategic plan to contain China with all its might, we will be able to successfully land on the Korean Peninsula and lay the foundation for our advance into the Asian continent! ”

Murakami Sadamasa smiled coldly and did not express any opinions.

It can be said that Nachi Takano's ideas represent the thoughts of all soldiers, and indeed all Japanese.

Possessing nuclear weapons, the ambitions of the Japanese swelled rapidly. As everyone knows, nuclear weapons are only weapons that threaten the enemy, not weapons of war. More importantly, with the development of technology, nuclear weapons will not only become weaker and weaker in deterrence, but will also become the bane of self-destruction!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister......"

"What do you think should be done?" Murakami Sadamasa threw the question out directly.

"By contacting South Korea through the United States and making concessions in negotiations on the ownership of Dokdo, Yoo Jong-chun temporarily gave up his claim to Dokdo and turned the spearhead to the north." Takano Nachi hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if we are not in a hurry to land on the Korean Peninsula, we should take this opportunity to improve relations with South Korea and change the situation of the Great Japanese Empire." ”

Murakami Sadamasa nodded slightly, affirming Takano's thoughts, and said, "Indeed, this is a great opportunity for us to improve the surrounding environment. Give me a detailed report as soon as possible, and make secret contacts with U.S. intelligence agencies, suggesting that we have secret information related to North Korea's nuclear weapons, and test South Korea's attitude through the United States. ”

Takano Nachi immediately nodded in agreement.

Other arrangements, Murakami Sadamasa did not tell the director of the National Intelligence Agency, because Nachi Takano did not have much political talent.

Damn it**
