USSR 1991

Especially in front of the USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group that has just entered service, Japan looks even more pitiful.Even the King Kong-class guided missile destroyer seems to be a green foil for the USS Washington.Colonel David Rothman of the aircraft carrier Washington stood on the deck with a cup of coffee and chatted with the executive director, Colonel Daniel.

"The weather in Japan is pleasant. If it weren't for this emergency that canceled my vacation, I could still enjoy a few more days of beach, sunshine and beer bars in Hawaii." Colonel Rothman complained to Daniel.As the commanders of the Washington aircraft carrier together, as friends, they almost talked about everything.

"It's not just those neurotic high-level officials in Washington DC, it's just a small Japanese island country, why care about their lives so much." Daniel shouted at Rothman.At this time, a carrier-based aircraft took off on the deck, and the loud noise drowned Daniel's words in the sound waves.

"I didn't hear what you just said." Rothman gestured to Daniel, motioning him to repeat it.

Daniel had to get close to Rothman's ear and shouted loudly, "I said we don't care about the life and death of these Japanese at all, they are just a pawn of the United States, but this group of hateful Japanese monkeys messed up my life." Holidays, it also makes me feel really bad."

After the plane took off, the deck returned to calm. After listening to Daniel's story, Rothman shook his head and denied his statement, "But Japan's four northern islands are very important to us. If they can regain control of the four northern islands, we will There is an opportunity to form a defensive island chain, trapping part of the Soviet military forces in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk."

"The current Sea of ​​Okhotsk is simply a back garden swimming pool of the Soviet Navy. If the island chain plan is successful, then all the Soviet military bases along the coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk will become meaningless garbage. This is why China The reason why the government is trying its best to encourage the Soviet Union and Japan to dispute on the issue of the four northern islands.”

"The Russians occupying the four northern islands can use them as a springboard to cut into Japan, or even into the Pacific Ocean. Once the four northern islands have established and formed a mature military base, I think the Japanese government will be even more restless."

"Even if the Japanese did not take back the four northern islands in the end, it still caused a long-term sense of oppression to the Soviets, making them always vigilant that the disputed waters in the south must be resolved, and it could be regarded as a hidden danger for the Pacific Fleet. "With regard to the sea area issue between Japan and Russia, Captain Rothman has done a lot.Because after that, the USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group will be stationed in the Japanese waters for a long time, responsible for monitoring the situation in the Asia-Pacific.

After listening to what Rothman said, Daniel was a little silent. This also means that from now on, there will be more and more Japan-Russia conflicts involving the USS Washington in the waters of Japan. This also means that in the Asia-Pacific region, Washington is also holding back I am determined to compete with the Soviet Union and compete with each other.

"Okay, it's time for our Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to sail to the designated sea area." Rothman threw the paper cup into the sea, turned and walked towards the bridge.The USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group has sailed to the designated sea area. They specially selected Tsushima Island as the location for the island seizure exercise, also to mock the Soviets. Your Imperial Russian Navy was defeated in this place.

Under the escort of the cruiser Normandy, the destroyer Brisk, the destroyer Cannon, and the destroyer Simpson, the Washington aircraft carrier battle group was like an unscrupulous maritime overlord, heading for the designated sea area.And the neat carrier-based aircraft was waiting to take off, and the aircraft carrier aimed its naval guns at the designated target.

The main content of this exercise is to assume that Japan will retake the designated islands, and the US carrier-based aircraft will provide air cover to attack the enemy's ground military forces.After prior intelligence and reconnaissance, Japan first used artillery to destroy ground air defense weapons, and then the U.S. military dispatched fighter jets to attack ground targets with air-to-ground shells.

After cleaning up, the landing ships began to enter the field. Under the cover of barrage and powerful firepower, the Type 74 main battle tanks began to land on the beach at the risk of enemy artillery fire. Members of the Self-Defense Forces quickly controlled the coastal area and established a A series of fortifications, the Self-Defense Forces in the 90s still had a certain combat effectiveness. They quickly broke into the enemy's strategic locations during the exercise, and adopted paratrooper airdrops to attack the enemy's rear, rioting the enemy's military base and occupying the communication command post. Has reached the point of winning the opportunity.

However, US military observers shook their heads regretfully at the performance of the Self-Defense Forces. What they discussed in private was that Japanese tactics were too rigid, not to mention that those were targets that stood still and waited for your artillery to shoot, and the time it took It is also far more than the US military.

After picking and choosing for a long time, the observation experts finally came to the conclusion that Japan's Self-Defense Forces do have combat effectiveness, but they may not be able to play at the same level in the face of countries such as South Korea or North Korea.But in the face of the Soviet Union, which has rich experience in previous wars, it can only be beaten.

Of course, after hearing such an answer, the first person who was upset was Nakatani Yuan. Even if the exercise was not over, he accused the military observation experts of the US military, "I don't think what everyone here said is the evaluation of preparation. In recent years, the size of the Self-Defense Force has not expanded, but this does not mean that we have not trained a high-level naval self-defense force."

"We are not denying the achievements of the Self-Defense Forces, Mr. Nakatani. We are just saying that there is still a gap between you and the Soviet Navy." One of the intelligence experts explained to Nakatani, "The Soviet Navy is currently the only one in the world. Second to the US fleet, although their aircraft carrier battle group has only formed a real combat capability in the past few years, but this does not mean that it is not a team with amazing combat effectiveness. In fact, it is also since the British Royal Navy Another strong opponent, the rapid development of the Soviet Navy over the past few decades has also allowed them to change from the initial saturation strike tactics to the same aircraft carrier battle group attack as the United States. Their armed forces are getting closer and closer to our level."

The observation experts neither boasted nor exaggerated their lines. Over the past year, the Varyag’s launching and commissioning, and the overtime construction of the Ulyanovsk all illustrate a problem. The Soviet Union has never given up on the construction of sea troops. It is actively competing with the United States for hegemony in the Pacific Ocean.It is not easy for a country with supremacy of land power to have such a thinking.

"But don't forget that the Japanese navy was a unit that could compete with the US military in the Pacific War!" Gen Nakatani, who felt humiliated, said angrily, and even did not hesitate to provoke the taboo topic between the United States and Japan. Discussion of the Pacific War.Sure enough, the American experts also had an awkward silent nose, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

And Zhong Guyuan walked out of the observation room directly, leaving a group of US military experts in the combat command room.But just as he stepped out of the door, a fiery figure ran towards him. He walked up to Zhongguyuan and handed Zhongguyuan a document out of breath.

"The Soviet Union, they held a joint military exercise in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and dispatched two aircraft carriers, one is the Varyag just launched, and the other is a Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier seconded from the Northern Fleet .”

"You mean that the Soviet Union dispatched two aircraft carriers, and one of them is the Varyag just launched?" The corner of Zhong Guyuan's mouth twitched. He thought that the Soviet Union's retaliation would hold exercises in the waters of the four northern islands, but he didn't expect it to be just It's just the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

"But there is another piece of news. After the Soviet fighter jets took off from the Okhotsk sea area, they approached the Japanese sea area several times. We sent fighter jets to intercept them urgently. But just now, we received another piece of information."

"What information?" Zhongguyuan raised his eyebrows, he thought that the other party would say that the Soviet Navy made a fuss again, but who knew what the next words would make Zhongguyuan's heart go cold for a moment.

"The Soviet Air Force dispatched a series of strategic bombers, which are approaching Japan's mainland waters, and there is no intention of stopping."

Chapter 2 Dangerous Misfire

Obviously, Japan, which didn't take the Soviet Union's warning seriously, didn't expect its own price to come so quickly. When they thought that the Soviet Pacific Fleet was just playing around in the Okhotsk waters, Horna's stuck In the air force base, the Tu95 strategic bomber slowly took off and circled towards the sea of ​​Japan.

The target of the Soviet Tu95 strategic bomber is the US-Japan joint fleet conducting exercises near Tsushima Island, because Tsushima Island is located in the Korean Strait and just above a special location. The Soviet Union’s move is to warn the Japan-US Combined Fleet. I'm here to spoil the scene, if you have the ability, try to touch a hair on me?

Almost when Japan was prepared to travel around Japan by Soviet strategic bombers, the Soviet Union made a statement to the foreign minister, "Our Figure 95 strategic bomber flying over the Japanese sea is a normal part of the Sea of ​​​​Okhotsk exercise. I hope the Japanese government will not It caused panic. The two Tu-95 strategic bombers flying to Japan each carried a 20-ton TNT-equivalent nuclear warhead. I also hope that the Japanese government will not cause panic. We only came here with nuclear weapons, and we hope that joint exercises are going on in the sea area The carrier-based aircraft of the U.S. and Japanese fleets should not target our bombers, otherwise the consequences of a nuclear bomb detonation will be disastrous."

This is definitely a blatant slap in the face from the Soviet Union. When others are conducting strategic exercises, you drive a bomber carrying a nuclear warhead into someone’s home swaggeringly, and tell the other party that I am just friendly to dismantle your platform, and there is no other malice.This kind of supercilious courage means that only the Soviet Union dares to do such a thing.

U.S. Secretary of State Igor Berg issued an urgent statement on the Soviet Union, severely condemning the Soviet government’s move as a challenge to the peaceful environment in the Asia-Pacific region and exacerbating tension. He hoped that both sides could exercise restraint and urged them to return to the negotiating table to resolve the issue.The threat of using nuclear weapons is unwise and incorrect.And it does not rule out that the United States will not take emergency measures against the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group.In the last emergency measure, even Igorberg said that he had no confidence. After all, you tried to intercept it with a carrier-based aircraft?I am afraid that all the fleets in the Tsushima Sea area will become underwater scrap iron.

So what happened in the North Korean sea area can be said to be the most incredible thing since the second half of the 18th century. When the F-[-] fleet was conducting exercises over the sea area, a strategic bomber that did not belong to its side suddenly appeared, and The red star logo on the bomber's tail is conspicuous and eye-catching.

Why did Soviet strategic bombers appear in the exercise area?Almost all drivers carry a strong question mark.At this time, the command and war room of the tower was also tense. They had just received news from Washington, and they could not disturb the Tu-95 strategic bomber anyway, because the other side carried two nuclear warheads that were enough to kill the USS Washington and other frigates. .

"Unidentified Soviet bombers, please pay attention, this is Japanese airspace, warning, this is Japanese airspace, please evacuate quickly, repeat, please evacuate quickly, otherwise we will take decisive measures." The captain of the F-18 fighter formation is facing the strategy Bombers exert pressure, and for them, the Tu-95 is too huge, with four huge propellers that look like a real NATO violent Soviet-style monster code-named Dire Bear.

The pilot of the Tu-95 strategic bomber also replied to the American F-18 fighter formation in the same English, his tone full of sarcasm, "Here is the pilot of the Soviet Tu-95 strategic bomber. We are performing routine tasks. Repeat, we are here. Carry out routine missions. American pilots please do not act rashly, we carry two nuclear warheads, repeat, we carry two nuclear warheads over the Tsushima Strait."

"What should we do to command the war room?" For a while, the American F-18 fighter jets didn't know how to show their favor. Officers and soldiers are not yet ready to die for the country, at least not yet.

"Don't act rashly in the F-18 fighter formation. Escort them away. We can't afford the price of going to war." The helpless Colonel Rossman replied, even he himself didn't expect to suffer a dark loss in the waters of his allies. What's more, I didn't expect that the strategic bombers of the Soviet Union would swagger into the sea area of ​​the exercise, and then swagger away in full view.

In fact, this move by the Soviet Union was also a risky move. If the Minister of Foreign Affairs hadn’t announced in advance that the Tu-95 strategic bombers would take a trip around the island, the unidentified U.S. carrier-based aircraft would have shot them down with missiles.If the U.S. military does this, it will be great, but the Self-Defense Force ships on the Japanese sea, including aircraft carrier battle groups, will also become ruins of history.

"Fuck him, it's really annoying." Rothman slammed the walkie-talkie on the table and replied angrily.This was the first time he had the urge to beat up the Soviets. The Soviet fighter planes were as disturbing as a buzzing fly flying in front of his eyes. The most important thing was that he couldn't knock down the fly.

"Should the exercise continue, sir?" Someone asked anxiously.

This is the question in everyone's mind. The exercise, which was about halfway through, was disrupted by Soviet bombers, and all actions were temporarily delayed, so that some troops who had just landed on the beach were unable to wait for their arrival. Under the cover of artillery fire, everyone waited for Rothman's order.

"Temporarily suspend the exercise, and wait until the Tu95 is completely out of this sea area before proceeding." Rothman said while holding his forehead. He didn't want anything to go wrong on such a critical occasion. The fuse of the war?He didn't even dare to think about the crime of destroying mankind.

But the Figure 95 strategic bombers did not stop there. They circled around Tsushima Island. The Russian navy lost to the Japanese navy here, and this time they also used the same method to hit each other in the face. Aren’t you In Tsushima, we are also demonstrating in the same place as you.

The F-18 fighter jets closely following the strategic bombers also had a huge headache. These crazy Mr. Ivans had no intention of retreating, and if this delay continued, it would be tantamount to embarrassing Japan and the U.S. Navy in front of the whole world.

"Get ready to come back, pilots, the US imperialist navy is already trembling under your intimidation." Yanayev also gave command orders at the Nakhodka Air Force Base, and this time the operation was personally supervised by him Yes, after all, such a risky demonstration, even Yanayev did not do such a thing before crossing the Soviet Union.

What's more, the Moscow side keeps calling, explaining to Yanayev that the presidential hotline is about to be blown up, and they have to explain over and over again that the general secretary is not in the Kremlin now.And Yanayev obviously told the Americans with his actions, let you be nervous.

"Received, we are going to return." After completing the demonstration flight, the strategic bomber turned around and prepared to fly back to the air force base thinking about Hona's card. After seeing this move, the American fighter pilot finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the tense confrontation is over." Hearing that the Soviet bombers had gone away, Colonel Rothman finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was temporarily relieved, but he had no intention of continuing the next military exercise. .So a US-Japan joint military exercise targeting the four northern islands of the Soviet Union was about to end in such an anticlimactic manner.

The one who couldn't accept this result the most was Yuan Nakatani, the director of the Security Agency. When he learned that the Soviet strategic bombers swaggered into the Japanese sea area, swaggered around the exercise sea area a few times and flew out, his mood almost collapsed.I almost blurted out the red deer in the navy.

Toshio Murakami, the commander-in-chief of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, apologized to Nakatani in a hurry. He said that it was not that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces did not dare to fight back, but that their strength was too weak. The Air Force did not dare to act on its own.

Of course, Toshio Murakami’s defense seemed to Nakatani Yuan to be shirking responsibility, and he accused unceremoniously, “Hearing your weak tone, you must be a navy. You have to be ashamed, do you understand?”

"Yes." Seeing Gen Nakatani getting angry, Toshio Murakami hurriedly apologized to him. In fact, the unlucky head of the Maritime Self-Defense Force had nowhere to vent his anger. What cannot be tolerated is the inaction of the United States at the last moment, and the intention to terminate the exercise after a hasty show.

"In the final analysis, our military strength is too weak." Nakatani shook his head, and the feeling of loss spread in his heart again. Japan has no aircraft carrier, no strong air force, and even the number of people is limited due to the restrictions of the security treaty. within a certain range.But the ambition to conquer the world has never stopped in the hearts of these right-wing officers.

In Yanayev’s words, some dogs just don’t want to eat shit and insist on eating shark’s fin. Since he has such a backbone, he can just press his head and force-feed shit.

"Abolishing civilian rule will be a long struggle." Nakatani sighed, and just as he was about to let Murakami Toshio leave, a sudden phone call hit the ambitious Self-Defense Force officer again.

The Soviet Pacific Fleet did not conduct exercises in the Sea of ​​​​Okhotsk, but is approaching the four northern islands, and will soon be adjacent to the Japanese island of Hokkaido!

Chapter 2 Is the Soviet Steel Giant Wave

The Kuznetsov aircraft carrier with a displacement of up to [-] tons is approaching the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Although it shows that they are conducting exercises in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, they are actually continuing to approach the waters of Japan. It poses a strategic threat, approaching the current Maritime Self-Defense Force, but it concentrates all its forces in the Tsushima Sea area. As for the Maritime Self-Defense Force, it has done nothing in Hokkaido Island.

In terms of strategic advantages, the Soviet Union's sphere of influence, including Kokugo, Shikotan, Etoro, and Habamai Island, even the Nemuro Strait is not completely in its own hands, but the Soviet fleet has a natural outlet to the sea. .Speaking of naval strength, the Soviet Union has an aircraft carrier battle group that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces cannot match, but what about Japan?How about you get rid of the security treaty locked around your neck first?
