Chapter 170： There's no way to fight

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, the day with the most benefits. In addition to gift bags and school bags, this "515 Red Packet Crazy Flip" must be watched. There is no reason not to grab red packets. Set the alarm clock.

The main US forces in the island countries are the air force and the navy. After the first day of battle, the navy and air force lost a lot. The US equipment advantage has not been reflected, and the exchange ratio between the two sides is similar.

Now, if the army is mobilized again, the conflict in Hokkaido will be even more severe, and it is not allowed that this is a trick of the Soviets, and the Soviets are trying to start a new world war!

At that time, the European battlefield will also be a complete mess. Can the European army at this time block the rolling torrent of Soviet armor?

Can't scale up!

Team USA has just been freed from the quagmire in Vietnam, and can no longer fall into a new quagmire! America is simply not ready for a new world war!

Now is not the future. The Soviet Union disintegrates, and the United States dominates the world unipolarly. If you have nothing to do, you can fix the disobedient. The global village must follow the will of the United States. At this time, it is the time when the United States is weak and the Soviet Union is strong! Although it was only a few years before the fall of the Soviet Union, these few years were the most difficult time for the United States. Unfortunately, Carter caught up.

At this time, Carter was extremely depressed. He originally thought that by taking this opportunity, the 311 civil aviation incident would pass. Now, the situation is as he hoped, and the public's attention has indeed left the 311 air disaster. The problem has already been placed in front of Carter. Whether it is to fight or not to fight, it is not good for the United States!

At this time, his think tanks were obviously divided into two factions. The tough ones hoped to solve the problem by military, and there were more people who had more concerns and did not want to continue to expand the scale of the war.

"Now is the time to test us. Our army is not raised by taxpayers to eat rice!" Harold said: "We will never fear war!"

"But we can't afford a new world war right now! The Soviets have recovered from WWII! And. We all have huge nuclear weapons, and if there is a war, even a nuclear war, for us It was a devastating blow! In World War II, our country has never been a battlefield, but now?" Brzezinski said.

The United States was the only beneficiary of World War II, the war did not break out on the American soil, and the world's wealth went to the United States.

but. Now if there is a conflict with the Soviet Union, the war may spread to the United States.

We cannot continue to expand the scale of the war!

"I also feel that we can't expand the scale of the war any more, otherwise, there will be dangers on the European side," said Admiral Fettner, director of the CIA.

"It is precisely because the Soviets have seized our weakness that they will have no fear! I don't believe that the Soviets really dare to start a world war! If we do nothing now, the Soviets will only eat the entire Hokkaido!" General Harold Volume up.

"Report, the latest battle report, an armored force of the Soviets. Attacked Otaru, and now, the port of Otaru has been occupied by the Soviets." Just as the two sides were arguing, a message made everyone shut up.

Damn it! Are islanders all ****? How can you stop the Soviets? The first batch of people who landed in the Soviet Union, just a few people, actually let them drive straight in and traverse the entire island country of Hokkaido?

And, now, the Soviets actually occupied the port of Otaru!

Otaru, a seaport town on the west side of Hokkaido. After coal was discovered in Sapporo in 1873, Otaru, a coal export port, has since become a prosperous commercial city due to its role as the outer port of Sapporo. Otaru is not only a foreign business port. It is also the main fishing distribution center in Hokkaido, and it is also an industrial city. The main processing industry is glass.

Due to its geographical location, trade with Russia was prosperous here.

Now, Otaru Port was occupied by the Soviets, which immediately made the situation completely worse. Because, the Soviets no longer need to go around the country's back island and occupied the port of Otaru. The Soviets can transport a large number of personnel and equipment directly from the opposite Primorsky Krai! At this time, the Seventh Fleet of the US military stationed in Japan was still in the Pacific Ocean, and it was even more impossible to go around the Sea of ​​Japan to stop the Soviet fleet, and the Soviet fleet must have already set off at this time!

This battle can't be fought! Unless the United States mobilizes the army from home and fights with the Soviets in the Hokkaido region of the island country, relying on the island country's Self-Defense Forces is not enough for the Soviets to plug their teeth!

Damn it! The Soviets are going to occupy the entire Hokkaido rhythm! Occupied Hokkaido, obtained an ice-free port, and could leave the Pacific at any time, threatening the hegemony of the United States in the Pacific!

"Mr. President, the solution to our problem is no longer a military one. We need to urgently meet with the Soviet ambassador and try to solve the problem diplomatically," said Vice President Walter.

Diplomacy! If you can beat it, fight it, if you can't beat it, just be reasonable. This is the universal truth! Now, the United States is beyond its reach and lacks sufficient responses to the deterioration of the situation in Hokkaido, and now it can only hope for diplomacy. It really hurts. At this time, the United States really does not have enough courage to start a full-scale war with the Soviet Union. Moreover, the loss is the island country. UUkanshu is not the United States, not a NATO ally, just a servant country only.

"Okay, give me an appointment to meet the Soviet ambassador immediately." President Carter said.

During the Cold War, both sides had nuclear weapons. If there is any misunderstanding, it might lead to the outbreak of a world war. Therefore, the high-level officials of the United States and the Soviet Union have a direct communication channel, that is, a hotline.

This is a two-way telegraph circuit that runs through Washington, London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and Moscow, with the Washington-London section of communication connected by the world's first transatlantic telephone cable. In order to seek insurance, the United States and the Soviet Union also opened up another Washington-Tangier (Morocco)-Moscow backup radio communication line.

Although it was just a telegram, not a direct voice communication, after all, this is a channel for direct communication to prevent the two sides from misunderstanding and causing a war. However, the communication at that time was so unpleasant that it was not like a conversation at all, it was just like reading a speech. In 1971, with the advancement of technology, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to upgrade the military hotline system to a more advanced satellite transmission mode, with two American intel satellites and two Soviet "Lightning-2" communication satellites serving as information transfer tasks. , so that the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union achieved a real voice call.

Now, according to the crisis level of the situation, it has reached the point of using the hotline. However, President Carter still hopes to communicate with the Soviet ambassador first, and then he can decide how to negotiate with the general secretary of the Soviet Union next.
