Chapter 118 The problem of Hokkaido

The meeting had dispersed, and Andre looked at Lieutenant General Constantine who was smiling, wondering what else would be left to keep him?

"Andre, you did a good job this time, which hit the morale of the Americans. Your photo of the aircraft carrier flying over the Americans has now appeared in Moscow's Prater of Truth, and it is another front page headline. "Martino Marshal Ustinov is quite satisfied. If it weren't for the time when you first received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union too close, you would have planned to award you the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for the second time. But you are a bit reckless in doing so. If you are really hit by American missiles, our Far East Military Region will lose an excellent regiment commander." Lieutenant General Constantine said.

"Serve the Soviets." Andre said: "At that time, I was just thinking about fighting the arrogance of the Americans. Now, it was indeed a bit dangerous at that time, but if I had to choose again, I would still do this, and I would never regret it."

"Andre, you are still young and have a bright future waiting for you." Lieutenant General Konstantin said: "Marson Ustinov has not misread you, he asked me to take care of you."

"Thank you, General." Andrei said. At this time, his heart was warm. Although Andrei knew that Ustinov liked a tough Soviet soldier like him, this concern still touched Andrei.

"Andre, after returning to the army, we will be ready for combat. The improved R-4O missile has been placed at the base. You must prepare for the new missile. "Lieutenant General Constantine continued.

Improved r-4o!

The biggest disadvantage of r-4o is that the range is too close, especially the infrared seeker model, with the real effective range of only more than 20 kilometers! Therefore, the Soviets continued to drive and adopted new improvements, which made the effective range of this missile reach fifty kilometers, and the model was called r-4od.

Hearing Lieutenant General Constantine's words, Andre immediately remembered the newly added 592nd Regiment, and then he thought about it now. What's going on? Is it really going to fight with the Americans?

This is the best! Strike the Americans' arrogance! However, in the Cold War, there seems to be no such incident. The United States and the Soviet Union have not had any large-scale military conflicts. After all, if the two giants really fight, it means that the Cold War will become a hot war, and even a nuclear war will break out, causing the destruction of the earth.

Although Andrei made the conclusion that a nuclear war would not break out, it was based on the knowledge of later generations. If he was really in a hurry, both sides would definitely dare to use anything.

"Yes." Andre replied, knowing that the Lieutenant General had reminded him enough, and there was no need for him to continue asking.

Fight or not? How large a scale of fight? What kind of strategic situation do you need to obtain?

These issues were not considered by Andre. At this time, in the Kremlin, a large group of people were discussing such issues that determine national affairs.

"For two hundred years, we have been trying to open up the Pacific Ocean's estuary. After the end of World War II, we tried to occupy the northeast of China and establish the base of the Pacific Fleet in Dalian, China. At that time, for some reasons, these did not become a reality. In fact, we were all taking detours at that time. The most suitable estuary for us was not in China at all, but in the island country! As long as we occupied Hokkaido, we could directly obtain the Pacific Ocean exit! "Marrior Ustinov, Minister of Defense, was trying to convince other senior officials in front of us at this time.

Obtain the Pacific Ocean’s estuary! Although the Soviet Union has obtained Vladivostok, it is not a frozen port. There is a few months of freezing period every winter, and it is not suitable for the navy as a base. If it weren’t for the short man, the Pacific Fleet in the Soviet Far East would not have chosen to be here as its base.

Similarly, Sakhalin Island and other places were also excluded. At that time, Stalin tried to ask China for Dalian Port, so what's the use? Just look at the map. Even if Dalian Port is used as a base, it will still be blocked offshore by Americans and cannot get out at all!

If you want to go out, you need to get a more suitable forward base. Now, no matter from which perspective, Hokkaido is the most suitable!

Because of concerns that the Soviet Union attacked Hokkaido, the island countries did not build Hokkaido much, and the population there is only a few million. On Hokkaido, Kushiro City on the Pacific coast is just a port. The 30-kilometer northeast of Kushiro City overlooks the Pacific Ocean like Tokyo Bay, the island country's Tokyo Bay, which is exactly the base of the Soviet Pacific Fleet. In addition, the nuclear submarine base of the Kamchatka Peninsula, forms horns and can go out of the Pacific Ocean at any time and compete with the Americans for hegemony in the Pacific!

For the Soviet Union, this was also an important step to break the current strategic situation.

As for Guohou Island and Zecha Island, the strategic depth is too shallow and is not suitable as a permanent naval base.

"What's more, it should be ours. During World War II, the island country was also one of the fascists, so it should have received enough punishment! The island country should have been divided and occupied like Germany. Now, we are just taking back what belongs to us." Ustinov continued, and he began to make up for the old accounts again.

Only when weak countries have no diplomacy can big countries have the right to speak in the world. On August 15, 1945, US President Truman contacted the Soviet Union to discuss the allocation of the countries after the island countries surrender, that is, the distribution of areas actually occupied by the countries. Among them, the Soviet Union was allocated to Manchuria, the Korean Peninsula and South Sakhalin Island north of the 38th north latitude, but the Kuril Islands were not included. Stalin believed that the areas obtained by the island countries surrendered to the Soviet Union should obtain all the islands of the Kuril Islands based on the secret agreement of the Yalta Agreement. In addition, he proposed a new requirement to obtain the northern half of Hokkaido, including Kushiro City and Liumo City, which was also a revenge on the island countries to send troops to Siberia.

Rumo and Kushiro both have a big port, and there are rich coal and iron ore resources here. Rumo is the port of Otaru, the coast of Hokkaido. From here, you can go directly to the Liaodong Peninsula to the west. The Soviet Union was rich in oil energy, but coal was poor. At the same time, Hokkaido, which is warmer than Siberia, has rich agricultural and fishery resources centered on french farmers, which is very important to the Soviet Union.

After getting this, not only can the Sea of ​​Okhotsk be the inland sea of ​​the Soviet Union, but it can also realize that since the era of the Russian Empire, I have been dreaming of having a freezing port in Kushiro Port in foreign countries, and from here you can directly send submarine troops into the Pacific!

As a result, at that time, US President Truman bargained and agreed to the Soviet Union to occupy all areas of the Kuril Islands, but refused to occupy the northern part of Hokkaido. In order to prevent the Soviet Union from succeeding, the Americans, Shendeng, took the lead in occupying the island countries.

The Soviet Union lost Hokkaido and the ability to check and balance the Americans in the Pacific. Now, it's time to correct this mistake!
