Ben suddenly started the war, and the United States was also in a hurry.

When the war broke out, it was the night of the 2nd Eastern Time. Frederick had just eaten dinner and was listening to Leslie's report on the work of state when the sudden arrival of Sandro disrupted the work of the president and the secretary of state.

Over the next few hours, Sandro turned the oval den into the CIA director's office.

Although the US military did not participate in the war, the US reconnaissance planes stationed in South Korea rushed to the vicinity of the battlefield as soon as possible and began to collect electronic information on both sides of the war.

This is where the US military is so strong, reacting even faster than the warring parties.

The information kept coming, and the 3 Americans in the oval study knew even more about the battle situation than the front-line commanders of the warring sides!

Although Frederick, Leslie and Sandro are not soldiers, all three see that something is wrong.

The South Korean ** team used the tactics of dealing with North Korea against Japan, and the result can be imagined. Strictly speaking, the ROK ** team did not make a mistake, but what was wrong was that it strictly adhered to the "dogma" of the US military. From the day it was born, the South Korean ** team has been a "student" of the US military, not only imitating the US military in terms of formation, but also completely learning from the US military in terms of tactics. After the outbreak of the war, the rapid counterattack of the South Korean Air Force was formulated entirely in response to the sudden attack of the DPRK on the 38th parallel, not against an opponent with strong air power such as Japan!

Japan's tactics were very compact and very flexible.

Strictly speaking, Japan also adopts the US military's air assault tactics, and its air defense operations and naval strikes are exactly the same as the US military's ground tactics. The difference is that Japan has made full use of its geographical advantages, and the cohesion of the first two rounds of combat operations is very good, even surpassing that of the US military.

I have to say. Japan is a better "student".

By about 2 a.m. ET. Frederick, Leslie and Sandro breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently. Frederick spoke to South Korean President Park Tae-hyun on a hotline. He said that the United States will make every effort to defend the territory and sovereignty of the Republic of Korea and fulfill its obligations and responsibilities as an alliance. Park Tae-hyun made it clear. The United States must formally dissolve its alliance with Japan. Send troops to help South Korea retake Dokdo.

Talking about the end. Frederick didn't say anything.

The dissolution of the alliance with Japan is nothing. Because Japan took the initiative to start the war. Violated the U.S.-Japan alliance treaty. The United States only needs one statement. You will be able to get rid of relations with Japan.

The key is the issue of sending troops to the battlefield.

When it comes to defending South Korea's territory and sovereignty, Frederick hints that Park Tae-hyun will only send troops when the recognized territory and sovereignty of South Korea are invaded. Because the United States has not expressed any official position on the sovereignty of Dokdo (Takeshima), the United States will not send troops to help South Korea on the Dokdo issue.

The problem is that Park Tae-hyun doesn't care about this at all.

After the phone call with Park Taehyun, Frederick asked Sandro to monitor Japan's military operations, collect battlefield information, and provide intelligence assistance to South Korea in accordance with his "promised obligations."

Leaving Leslie alone, Frederick was not able to get any useful advice.

The United States was able to do even less than the Republic at this time, dismantling the U.S.-Japan alliance, providing military assistance to South Korea, and sending fleets to the western Pacific. Other than that, even Leslie didn't know what to do to make South Korea "feel better". The problem is that other actions than sending troops into the war will not satisfy the "appetite" of South Korea.

Due to geographical restrictions, the United States has been very "sluggish" in reacting.

At 16:25 Beijing time (3:25 EST in the United States), the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China Huang Guowei issued a diplomatic statement, strongly condemning Japan's military action under the "no declaration" to invade South Korean territory and undermine stability and peace in Northeast Asia. Japan is strongly urged to immediately cease all military operations, withdraw its troops to the locations before the outbreak of the war, and resolve the dispute by peaceful means.

There are only two key points, one is "encroachment", and the other is "before the outbreak of war".

The former indicates that the republic recognizes Dokdo as South Korean territory, and the latter indicates that it is not enough to simply stop military operations!

After the statement, Huang Guowei met with the South Korean ambassador who came on his own initiative.

Just half an hour later, Japanese Foreign Minister Nako Chikumo issued a diplomatic statement, strongly condemning China's interference in Japan's internal affairs, demanding that China abide by international principles and international order, and refrain from pointing fingers at Japan's military action to defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty and dignity, still less from vainly trying to prevent Japan's reasonable demands to regain lost territory.

Diplomatic statements are a war of words, and they don't say anything.

Although the South Korean ambassador went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic with good hopes, the reply given by Huang Guowei disappointed the South Korean ambassador very much.

In the absence of an alliance, the Republic can only give diplomatic and moral support to South Korea.

Just because there is no gain in diplomacy does not mean that there is no gain in other areas.

When the South Korean ambassador went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the intelligence counselor of the South Korean embassy and Cao Xuehua, a senior official of the Military Intelligence Agency, met secretly at the Guotai Hotel in Beijing.

The attitude of intelligence officers is much more "candid" than that of diplomats.

Within half an hour, the two sides reached a consensus on the most important issue. South Korea shares with the republic

Japan's intelligence, while the Republic of Korea provided South Korea with information on the movement and deployment of Japanese air forces during the war.

Intelligence deals are more realistic than diplomatic promises. Even though Cho Yun-dong made the decision to provide military intelligence to South Korea, in practice, the military intelligence agency still asked South Korea to exchange reciprocal information. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and even more so in the intelligence community.

At the same time as conducting intelligence transactions with the ROK, Liu Xiaobin personally approached the intelligence counselor of the DPRK Embassy in the Republic and demanded that the DPRK open an air passage to the Sea of Japan for the military planes of the Republic of China, so as to provide all convenience for the intelligence personnel of the Republic to set up information transfer stations and information interception centers in Chongjin, Kimje, Sinpo, Iongdo, Goseong, and other places. To this end, the Republic will provide the DPRK with timely information on the progress of the war and share battlefield information with the DPRK.

North Korea, which is in the "honeymoon period" with the republic, did not refuse, and readily agreed.

South Korea did not place its hopes entirely on the republic, and after calling the hotline with Frederick, Park Tae-hyun immediately arranged for intelligence officers to contact the intelligence counselor of the U.S. Embassy (who was actually a CIA spy) to obtain information on the Japanese military deployment as soon as possible.

Upon learning that the Republic was willing to provide military information, Park Tae-hyun immediately called a hotline with Cho Yun-dong.

The two chatted very "speculatively" on the phone, and Park Tae-hyun first thanked the Republic for its diplomatic support for South Korea's position and diplomatic support, hoping that the Republic could give more support to South Korea; Cho Yun-dong said that the Republic of Korea has always adhered to the principle of peaceful negotiations with all its neighbors, including the ROK, in resolving all contradictions in the interior, including territorial and territorial sea disputes, and that the Republic will support the ROK's efforts in defending its territory and territorial waters as a friendly neighbor, and hopes that the ROK will end its military operations as soon as possible and restore regional peace and stability.

Obviously, there is still no such thing as a free lunch.

After promising to provide help to South Korea, Zhao Rundong very "tactfully" proposed to negotiate with South Korea to resolve territorial and territorial disputes.

Regardless of whether Park Tae-hyun heard this meaning or not, the Republic will not "take the chestnut in the fire" for South Korea for no reason.

After the outbreak of the war, the first round of South Korean diplomacy was not very fruitful.

South Korea's experience in the diplomatic arena is a very direct reflection of South Korea's serious problems in foreign policy and national strategy. Blindly relying on the United States has not only greatly reduced South Korea's national defense strength, but also caused South Korea to lack its own voice in the international arena and thus not be taken seriously by other countries.

Perhaps, South Korea will be able to remember this lesson.

On the morning of 3 July, the ROK's chief representative to the United Nations first strongly condemned Japan's aggression at the UN General Assembly, and then submitted a proposal to the Security Council to impose sanctions on Japan. Although the sanctions will not have any effect, as the Security Council has already imposed comprehensive sanctions on Japan on the nuclear issue, South Korea's diplomatic action at the UN General Assembly and the Security Council for the first time without consulting the United States is a major step forward.

Subsequently, US President Frederick personally held a press conference at the White House to announce the dissolution of the alliance with Japan.

Because the US-Japan alliance treaty clearly stipulates that Japan may not launch foreign military operations without the consent of the United States, and if Japan violates it, it will be deemed to have automatically dissolved the alliance, so Frederick's decision does not need to be reviewed and approved by the Congress.

Although the statement of the President of the United States was "shocking", it actually did not mean anything.

As early as after Japan conducted its first underground nuclear test, the United States announced that it would temporarily suspend the implementation of the alliance treaty signed with Japan, which was tantamount to shelving the alliance. Even if the impact of a formal dissolution of the alliance is much greater, it will not be able to fundamentally stop Japan's military action, let alone cause Japan to withdraw its troops from Dokdo. Although, according to South Korea, this move by the United States has created conditions for launching a military attack on Japan in the future, the United States is not prepared for war at all, and it is still less likely that it will launch a war against a country that possesses nuclear weapons before it finds out the situation.

By the morning, as the Republic and the United States had made their attitudes clear, the mainstream media in various countries around the world had made detailed reports.

Almost all the media believe that the Dokdo conflict between Japan and South Korea is only a regional local conflict with a very limited scale and limited impact, and regardless of the outcome, it will not have much impact on the already very volatile situation in Northeast Asia, let alone involve the two most powerful countries in the war.

Compared with the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the East China Sea War, and the Iran War, the news media did not "value" the conflict between Japan and South Korea.

In the eyes of the news media, as long as the United States and China do not get involved in the war, the conflict between Japan and South Korea is a "child's play" game.

For Japan, this is a good thing; It's a bad thing for South Korea!

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
