Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudges Chapter 64 Doubts about Strategic Counterattacks
Walking Kitayama Shikawa and others, Murakami Sadamasa asked Kiryu Shunji to bring Ono Tsuka Pheasant. [Full text reading]
"Leaks are inevitable, and when I made a decision, I proposed that I could not adopt the advice of the military department." Ono Tsukasa Pheasant seems to have guessed the ending a long time ago. "During the Korean War, China was trying to create a reason to go to war against us, and it was the wise decision of the Prime Minister that prevented us from getting involved in the war and giving China no chance. Everyone knows that the basis of our confrontation with China is the ability to counterattack strategically. According to the development plan we have formulated, we will be able to have real strategic nuclear submarines and submarine-launched strategic ballistic missiles around 2030, and have a second strategic strike capability. China has been keeping an eye on our development progress and will definitely try to obtain information related to us. There are spies in our own and even in the military headquarters. Sending troops to Formosa, there are many people involved in the planning, not to mention keeping it secret, and even tracking it down is very difficult. Prime Minister, I think the most urgent task is not to identify the leakers, but to respond to the current situation. β
Murakami nodded and motioned for Ono Tsukasa to continue.
"What has happened in the past few hours is enough to prove that China has started a war against us." Ono Tsukasa paused for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, the head of Shina is preparing to declare war on us, and a press conference will be held soon to announce the relevant news." Our war with China is inevitable and may well turn into a full-scale war. What we need to do now is to define strategic objectives and operational countermeasures. β
"I have ordered the military headquarters to launch the 'Tianzihao' battle plan."
Ono Tsukasa Pheasant was startled and said, "Prime Minister, you are going to ......"
"There was no order to launch the missile, just to prepare the military department." Murakami Sadamasa let out a long breath and said, "You are right, Shina has already started a war against us, but it has not attacked our mainland for the time being, so Shina has not declared war." Ever since we developed nuclear weapons, we have been preparing for war. There are many reasons why China did not start a war with us at the beginning, such as the role played by the United States in diversion, as well as China's own preparations, and so on. Over the years, almost all of China's military construction has been directed against us. After the Peninsular War, the United States completely withdrew from the western Pacific, took the initiative to improve relations with China, and even put forward the idea of establishing a bipolar world with China, making it clear that it would not directly confront China. The attitude of the United States will certainly fuel China's determination to go to war against us, and we even have reason to believe that Congress will actively promote our war with China, because whoever wins the final victory will only be a disastrous victory, and the United States will need help after the war, and the United States will be able to take this opportunity to return to the western Pacific. Now there is nothing to doubt that the South Asian conflict must have been directed by China in order to make us make the wrong decisions and provide China with a reason to go to war against us. β
Ono Tsuka's pheasant sighed and didn't say much.
"The question now is, are we going to fight back immediately?"
"Using weapons?" Ono Tsukasa glanced at the prime minister.
Murakami nodded. said, "Before you come over." Kitayama Shikawa, Higashiki Tani Katsu, Sato Shinsai and others demanded an immediate counterattack. It shows that we are determined to fight to the death. β
"The place where the nuclear weapons were proposed was Kitayama Shikawa?"
Murakami Sadamasa sneered and said something.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Beware of Kitayama Shikawa. Ohno Tsukasa Pheasant looked very worried, "Toki Tani Katsu and Sato Shinsai and others don't have to think about it." Soldiers are not politically minded and incapable of leading Japan. Kitayama Shikawa is different. As a populist, Kitayama Shikawa has always been supported by the military. If he has any intentions. It is quite possible to turn against him. It is a threat to the Prime Minister. β
"I know that." Murakami sighed. "I just want to know. Shall we fight back? β
Ono Tsukasa frowned, bowed his head and pondered.
Carrying out a strategic counterattack is definitely not a decision that can be made casually. No matter how stupid the Japanese are, they know that even if Japan has a real strategic counterattack capability, it should not be the first to use nuclear weapons in a war. The reason is simple: as long as Japan uses nuclear weapons, China has every reason to carry out a strategic counterattack. Compared to China's nuclear arsenal, Japan's nuclear weapons are nothing at all. For Japan, nuclear weapons are a "weapon of self-defense" used to threaten a potential enemy, not an "offensive weapon" for strategic expansion. Everyone knows that China's goal is not to eliminate Japan, but to replace the United States as the world's number one power. Under these circumstances, China would not risk a nuclear attack on its homeland to go to war with Japan. It is precisely for this reason that Japan needs a real strategic counterattack capability, not a strategic strike capability.
After pondering for a long time, Ono Tsukasa raised his head and said, "Prime Minister, do we have any other choice?" β
Murakami's brow jumped a few times and looked at Tsukasa Onotsuka.
"We have lost our strategic counterattack capability, and if China wants to fight an all-out war with us, it will definitely attack our own missile bases and nuclear weapons bases after a formal declaration of war, and strive to eliminate our nuclear strike capability before the scale of the war expands." Ono Tsukasa sighed and said, "Of course, we have mobile ballistic missiles, and as long as one missile survives, it can pose a threat to China." The question is, do we have what it takes to seize air supremacy in war? If not
mobile ballistic missiles are also useless. Together with the 'state system' in China, our strategic strike capability is even more negligible. Under such circumstances, in order to completely destroy China's strategic strike capability, China will certainly strike at China's mainland with impunity. β
"What do you mean......"
"We have no other choice." Ono Tsukasa Pheasant smiled bitterly and said, "Kitayama Shikawa's words are not wrong, we must show our determination to fight to the death as soon as possible, and let Shina know that attacking our mainland will pay an unbearable price." Only in this way can we fundamentally stop the unlimited expansion of the scale of the war in China. β
"You're saying we should use nuclear weapons?"
Ono Tsukasa nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he meant.
"Do you think Zhi won't fight back?"
"It depends on whether our strategic strikes work." Ono did not shy away from this question, "Prime Minister, we have to consider two issues. If a strategic counterattack is not carried out according to the requirements of the military department, I am afraid that Kitayama Shikawa will take advantage of this to win over a group of disgruntled soldiers. For Japan, the outbreak of internal turmoil during the war would have unforeseen consequences. It is conceivable that in the event of civil unrest in the event of an outbreak of internal turmoil, China will be more than happy to send troops to occupy our country in the name of preventing nuclear proliferation. We must meet the needs of the military and convince them that the Prime Minister has the determination and will to face death as if he were at home, and that he is the worthy leader of the Japanese Empire! β
Murakami didn't speak, because Ono Tsukasa happened to talk about what he was worried about.
At present, civil strife is Japan's great enemy. As a large country with a population of more than 100 million, no foreign power has been able to completely conquer Japan. Historically, Japan has never been completely conquered by any foreign power. Murakami's first concern was that the reactionary forces in the country had to consider the influence of populists such as Kitayama Shikawa. Before discussing with Tsukasa Onozuka, Murakami Sadamasa ordered the military headquarters to launch the "Tenzi" operation plan to carry out strategic nuclear strikes in order to stabilize the military headquarters and not give Kitayama Shikawa a chance.
"The prime minister is definitely worried about whether China will carry out a strategic counterattack." It wasn't until Murakami Sadamasa turned his gaze that Ono Tsukasa said, "It is undeniable that Wang Yuanqing, the current head of state, is an out-and-out warmaker. When he was still the vice head of state, Yuan Qing advocated war against our country. After coming to power, Wang Yuanqing actively prepared for war. But there is one thing that cannot be denied, Yuan Qing is a very rational leader. Why is China making a fuss in South Asia and Taiwan? It was clear that it was to obtain a reason for war. If Wang Yuanqing was not very rational, would he have gone to such great lengths to create a casus belli? This can be shown that Wang Yuanqing will not rashly expand the scale of the war. β
"But he can't do nothing."
Ohno: The pheasant man nodded and said, "As a sane leader, Wang Yuanqing will definitely take a preemptive strike action and strive to destroy our strategic strike capability before we can react." If we launch a strategic strike in advance, Wang Yuanqing will think twice before acting. β
"Why?"
"The reason is simple, we are too close to China." Ono Tsukasa Pheasant smiled coldly and said, "Even if Shina has enough ability to destroy us, we have to consider our own losses. Among other things, if nuclear weapons were to explode in our country, the projectile dust would drift over the country itself, causing millions, if not tens of millions, of people to suffer. Unless Wang Yuanqing is a madman, he will be desperate to carry out a strategic attack on us, otherwise he will have to consider the consequences of using nuclear weapons. β
Murakami nodded, and that was exactly what he was considering.
Japan is so close to China that even the explosion of a nuclear warhead with a yield of 150,000 tons in Japan could have an impact on China. Given the proximity of the Korean Peninsula, China's leaders will have to think twice about the use of nuclear weapons.
"In fact, it is almost impossible for our nuclear warheads to fall on the Chinese mainland."
Murakami Sadamasa looked at Tsukasa Ono Tsukasa Pheasant.
"It took China six years to build the world's most complete 'national strategic defense system'. Although we do not know exactly what its specific capabilities are, there is sufficient evidence to show that the actual combat capability of China's 'National Strategic Defense System' is no worse than that of the United States' National Missile Defense System, and is even more advanced. Why didn't China declare war on us six years ago? Three years ago, why didn't China hit the Tsushima Strait? The reason is simple, at that time China did not yet have a real national strategic defense capability. It is only now that China really has the ability to intercept ballistic missiles, so it will instigate a war at this time, and even take the initiative to provoke a war. β
Murakami Sadamasa nodded slightly, and Ono Tsukasa Pheasant made a lot of sense.
Without waiting for Ono Tsukasa to continue, Shunji Kiryu came to the study and turned on the TV.
"I have just received information that the head of state of China is about to make a diplomatic statement."
"The FΓΌhrer of China?" Murakami Sadamasa immediately stood up.
Ono Tsukasa Pheasant also stood up and said, "No questions asked, it must be a declaration of war." β
Glancing at the defense secretary, Murakami Sadamasa sighed.
War is inevitable, where will Japan go? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to idian, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
