Chapter 271 Just an Excuse

"The Japanese are all useless. If our pilots were flying the fighter planes, the battle result would definitely not be like this!" Vice Admiral Jonathan Williams, commander of the Seventh Fleet, was extremely dissatisfied with the battle result and said angrily.

The failure, of course, should be attributed to the island people. The United States provided them with the most advanced fighter jets. Now even Israel is asking the United States to deliver the ordered F-15s as soon as possible. The United States did not agree and gave them to the island countries first. What is the result?

The pilots of the island country are simply rubbish. Their third-generation aircraft were defeated by the second-generation aircraft. It's a shame for the United States!

"We can't blame the pilots of the island country entirely. The Soviets used the MiG-25 and MiG-23 together, and the two aircraft complemented each other's strengths. Their long-range interception and close-range combat capabilities became stronger, so it's not surprising that they defeated the pilots of the island country." Deputy Commander Schwader said: "The problem we are facing now is not to rebuke the pilots of the island country for not working hard, but how to avenge our Major General Field-Taylor. This is a shame for our US troops stationed in Japan."

The cause of this incident was the defection of an armed helicopter of the island nation's Ground Self-Defense Force. If it had just flown away, it would have been fine, but now, it actually killed Major General Field. If there is no explanation for this matter, the US military will once again make a fool of itself in front of the people of the world.

Originally, the agreement to allow the Soviets to occupy northern Hokkaido was just a delaying tactic. As long as the powerful ground forces of the United States landed on the island and supported the island, they could command the island's self-defense forces to recover the lost territory to the north. In particular, the use of a large amount of US military equipment to arm the island's army gave them unprecedented confidence.

As for the peace agreement at that time, as for the agreement to allow the Soviet Union to occupy northern Hokkaido along the Kushiro-Rumoi line, it was just a piece of waste paper. The agreement was meant to be torn up! Anyway, the main force of the attack to the north was the island nation's Self-Defense Force, and the United States was supervising the battle from behind. After all, a direct military confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union could easily trigger World War III.

However, it was later discovered that the Soviets were capable of launching MiG-25 aircraft carriers and that their tanks could penetrate one-meter-thick armor, forcing the Americans to be cautious. Wars must be won, and fighting against a rock with an egg is no fun.

In this way, it has been delayed until now, and it is found that the Soviet MiG-25 is nonsense, which must be fooled by the strategic deception bureau called Ogarkov! As for the armor-piercing projectile that can penetrate a one-meter thick steel plate, the United States absolutely does not believe it!

In that case, what are you waiting for? This is the last excuse!

"Now, the islanders are very hostile to us." Lasfield said, "All this is the result of the Chi Army secretly fanning the flames. Last year, there were many suspicious points in the rape case of our soldiers. It may be that the Chi Army framed us behind the scenes. Obviously, the Chi Army was supported by the Soviets. Now, the Chi Army has developed into a cancer of the island country. If we don't solve the problem of the Chi Army, the island country may be destroyed."

The U.S. military stationed in the island countries have not had a good time. Many islanders believe that the U.S. military stationed here is the source of their suffering. They marched on the streets of Tokyo, demanding that the U.S. military get out, without realizing that if the U.S. military had not supported them, the Soviets would have attacked long ago!

The military stepped up its efforts to attack the Chi Army, but the effect was poor, because the Chi Army would use various channels to get into northern Hokkaido! As long as there was a loophole, they would come again.

The chi army's self-defense forces are also very good at winning over. Now, even the pilot of the helicopter has been fooled away, and he even vented his anger before leaving!

Lieutenant General Paul knew what they meant. The issue of Hokkaido could not be delayed any longer. It was because of the compromise at the beginning that the United States was in a dilemma! Now the situation in the island country is becoming more and more chaotic. There is no time to hesitate!

"What is the attitude of the island government?" asked Lieutenant General Paul.

"Their Self-Defense Forces General Shinzo Ozawa and Defense Agency Chief Hideyoshi Watanabe were both killed in today's attack. The Prime Minister has selected Shigeo Kuma as the new Defense Agency Chief. His inaugural speech was about reviving the island nation, severely cracking down on the Chi Army, and recovering lost territory!" Lasfield said, "The islanders also have to give an explanation to their citizens. They also realize that if this continues, the Chi Army's takeover will change the entire island nation."

"Okay, then I'll ask the White House." Lieutenant General Paul finally made up his mind.

If the Soviets did not plot anything and the Chi Army did not take advantage of the situation, then maintaining the status quo would undoubtedly be the best option. However, it is now clear that although the Soviets did not show up, they supported the Chi Army, and the Chi Army began to incite the people to oppose the US military presence. This will be disadvantageous to the United States.

We must cut the Gordian knot and solve all the problems! Now, in Hokkaido, the island country has mobilized eight divisions and two independent brigades of the Ground Self-Defense Force, with a total force of more than 100,000. What about the Soviets? Current intelligence shows that the Soviets still only have those five divisions, two tank divisions, two mechanized infantry divisions and one airborne division, with a total force of less than 60,000. The island country's Self-Defense Force has already replaced a large number of advanced Type 74 tanks and American-made M tanks, and is also equipped with hundreds of them. If a real fight breaks out, we are fully confident that we can drive the Soviets out!

Let's do it! As long as the Soviet tank armor-piercing shells are not so abnormal, our side will definitely be fine. After driving away the Soviets, the Chi army will lose its backing and will soon disappear!

There was no excuse before, but what about now? There is an excuse, which is to destroy the Chi Army and ask the Soviets to cooperate! If the Soviets don't cooperate, then we can only use fists to speak! The Chi Army has attacked the Self-Defense Forces one after another, and now it has even killed the highest commander of the Defense Agency. If we don't destroy the Chi Army, how can we explain to the tens of millions of people on the island country?

"Now, all we need is an excuse, and this excuse will come soon." In Kushiro, the atmosphere at the Hokkaido headquarters became highly tense.

The person who chaired the meeting was the young Andrei, the youngest general in the Soviet Union who rose to prominence like a rocket. No one would ridicule him. Everyone looked at him with admiration. Under the leadership of General Andrei, the Far East Military Region was realizing one ideal after another and exporting the red thought to the island country!
