The main parts of the United States in island countries are the Air Force and Navy. After the first day of battle, the Navy and Air Force lost a lot. The United States' equipment advantages were not reflected, and the exchange ratio between the two sides was similar.
Now, if the army is mobilized, the conflict in Hokkaido will be even more powerful, and it is not guaranteed that this is the Soviets' trick, which attempts to launch a new world war!
At that time, the European battlefield will be in chaos. Can the European army block the rolling torrent of the Soviet Union at this time?
Can't scale up!
The US team has just been freed from the quagmire of Vietnam and cannot fall into a new quagmire! The United States is not ready for a new world war at all!
Now is not the later generations. The Soviet Union collapsed and the United States dominated the world with one-polar dominance. If you have nothing to do, just repair the disobedient minions. The global village must follow the will of the United States. At this time, it was the time when the United States was weak and the Soviet Union was strong! Although it was only a few years since the Soviet Union declined, it was the most difficult time for the United States to endure. Unfortunately, Carter caught up.
Carter was extremely depressed at this time. He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see the 311 civil aviation passenger plane storm. Now, the situation is as he hoped, and the public's sight has indeed left the 311 air crash. However, a bigger problem has been placed in front of Carter. Whether it is to fight or not, it is not good for the United States!
At this time, his think tanks were obviously divided into two factions. The tough hope was to solve the problem through military means, and there were also concerns that more people 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 free food!" Harold said: "We will never be afraid of war!"
"But we can't stand the tossing of a new world war now! The Soviets have recovered from World War II! Moreover, we all have huge nuclear weapons, and once wars really happen, even nuclear wars are devastating blows for us! Our country has never been a battlefield in World War II, but what about now?" Brzezinski said.
The United States was the only profitable country in World War II. The war did not break out on the United States, and the wealth of the whole world flowed to the United States.
However, if there is a conflict with the Soviet Union now, the war may affect the United States.
We can't continue to expand the scale of the war!
"I also feel that we can't expand the scale of the war anymore, otherwise there will be dangers in Europe," said Admiral Fitner, Director of the CIA.
"It is precisely because the Soviets grasped our weakness that they were fearless! I don't believe that the Soviets really dared to launch a world war! Our inaction now will only lead to the Soviets eating the entire Hokkaido!" General Harold raised his voice.
"Report, the latest war report, an armored soldier of the Soviets attacked Otaru, and now Otaru Port has been occupied by the Soviets." Just as the two sides were constantly arguing, a news made everyone shut up.
Damn it! Are the people from the island nations all the best? How come they can't stop the Soviets? The first batch of Soviets landed in, and only a few people actually made them drive straight into the entire island nation, Hokkaido?
Moreover, now the Soviets have actually occupied the port Otaru!
Otaru, a small harbor town on the west side of Hokkaido, discovered coal in Sapporo in 1873, and as a coal export port, Otaru, has since become a prosperous commercial city. In addition to being an external commercial port, Otaru is also the most important fishing distribution center in Hokkaido and an industrial city. The most important processing industry is glass.
Due to geographical location, the trade with Russia was once relatively prosperous.
Now that Otaru Port was occupied by the Soviets, the situation immediately worsened completely, because the Soviets no longer needed to circle the Guohou Island circle. After occupying Otaru Port, the Soviets could transport a large number of people and equipment directly from the coastal harbor on the opposite side! 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 circle the Japanese Sea to stop the Soviet fleet, and the Soviet fleet must have set off at this time!
This battle cannot be fought! Unless the United States mobilizes its army from the country and fights a big fight with the Soviets in the Hokkaido area of the island country, it will not be enough for the Soviets to get stuck in the gaps in the island country's self-defense force!
Damn it! The Soviets were trying to occupy the entire Hokkaido! After occupying Hokkaido, they obtained the unfreezing port, and they could leave the Pacific Ocean at any time, threatening the United States' hegemony in the Pacific!
"Mr. President, solving our problems is no longer a military aspect. We need to meet with the Soviet ambassador urgently and strive to solve the problems with diplomatic means." Vice President Walter said.
Diplomatic means! If you can beat it, fight it, and if you can't beat it, it's a universal truth! Now, the United States is out of reach and lacks enough ways to deal with the deterioration of the situation in Hokkaido, and now it can only rely on diplomatic means. It's so painful. At this time, the United States really does not have enough courage to fight the Soviet Union for a full-scale war. Moreover, the island countries that are losing are not the United States, not NATO ally, but just servants.
"Okay, let me meet with the Soviet ambassador immediately." President Carter said.
During the Cold War, both sides had nuclear weapons. If there were any misunderstandings, it might lead to the outbreak of the world war. Therefore, the senior executives of the United States and the Soviet Union had direct calls, namely the hotline.
This is a two-way telegraph circuit, which runs through Washington, London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and Moscow. The Washington-London section communications rely on the world's first transatlantic telephone cable to connect. In order to ensure insurance, the United States and the Soviet Union have also opened a backup radio communication line from Washington-Tangel (Morocco)-Moscow.
Although it was just a telegram and could not communicate directly, after all, it was a channel for direct calls to prevent misunderstandings from both sides and causing war. However, the call at that time was too unpleasant and did not look like a conversation at all, but just like reading a speech. Until 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 international communication satellites and two Soviet "Lightning-2" communication satellites to take on the information transfer mission, so that the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union achieved real voice calls.
Now, according to the crisis level, it has reached the point of using a hotline. However, President Carter still hopes to communicate with the Soviet ambassador first before he can decide how to negotiate with the Soviet General Secretary next.
