"We will not give up Hokkaido. If the Soviets get the territory north of Liumoi-Kushiro, they will get the Pacific Ocean's outlet!" said General Harold, Minister of Defense: "The Pacific Ocean is ours, and we must block the Soviet Union's exports!"

After meeting with the Soviet ambassador, Warren returned to the roundtable room, and everyone was still here. After hearing the conditions conveyed by Warren, Harold disagreed first.●⌒

"Then we must be prepared for a big battle. We must help the islanders to regain Hokkaido, mobilize at least 100,000 troops to go to Hokkaido." Admiral Stan Fitner, the director of the CIA, spoke.

An army of 100,000 people! After the United States withdrew from Vietnam, there was no large-scale military mobilization. It was really difficult to gather an army of 100,000 people in haste. Moreover, it had to be transported thousands of miles to the island country! The personnel, plus equipment, will definitely not work without two or three months.

"Why so many?" President Carter asked.

"Because we have the latest information again," said Admiral Stein Fitner. "The Soviets have transported their two army reorganization divisions to Otaru in Vladivostok. Once they land in Otaru, the Soviet troops in Hokkaido will have more than six divisions, with a total force of more than 80,000! If we want to solve the Soviets militarily, we must use more military forces, and 100,000 people are still a minority. Once the Soviets continue to increase their troops, we must continue to increase their troops."

The Soviets had to continue to invest their troops! Moreover, Otaru fell into the hands of the Soviets, and the Soviets would increase their troops at any time!

"The army of the island country is inactive. The latest battle report is that the 7th Division of the island country is launching an attack on Kushiro. At dawn, a tank regiment was reimbursed. The Soviet T-72 tanks were very powerful." Vice President Walter followed: "Now, the four divisions deployed by the island country in Hokkaido, the 2nd and 7th Divisions are already at a disadvantage in Kushiro. The 2nd Division is still guarding Asahikawa, while the 11th Division dares not be dispatched in Sapporo to defend their Sapporo. The island people are mobilizing new divisions from the local area. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the island country army will definitely not be able to stop the invasion of the Soviets. We must make a quick decision. If the Soviets completely occupy Hokkaido, our negotiations will go bankrupt."

At this time, the Soviets had not occupied the entire Hokkaido and there was room for negotiation. It would be too late to negotiate after the Soviets occupied the entire Hokkaido and then negotiate again.

Because of the Hokkaido incident, we went to war with the Soviet Union? It is not the time for the Cuban missile crisis in the 1960s. The United States has just stepped out of the quagmire of the Vietnam War and is trapped in a new world war?

Be cautious. Be cautious!

The vice president's words meant that he also agreed with the negotiations.

"Brzezinski, what do you think?" Carter asked to the person next to him.

As an assistant to national security affairs, Brzezinski has always disagreed with the fact that there was too much conflict in the Far East. Now everyone understands that it is not easy to mess with. It does not follow the rules of the game! This drama is too big, how can it end now?

"I think our center of gravity has always been Europe." Brzezinski said: "Europe has important industrial and defense potential in our Western world. It is the center of gravity of our entire Western world. Now, we are under too much pressure in the West. We are facing the rolling armor torrent of the Soviets at any time. The Soviets are always thinking about putting their flags into the entire Western Europe. Now, the Soviets are actually going to attack the Far East. For us, this may be an opportunity. If Hokkaido is divided, the Soviets will think about occupying the entire island country at any time, and they will transfer part of their military focus to the Far East.

, In this way, our pressure in Western Europe will be much less. Therefore, this matter is not necessarily all bad. Our strategic focus is always in Europe. Island countries are not worth our use of a large number of troops to fight for some territory for them. Anyway, Hokkaido does not have any important industry. Moreover, there are still some in the island countries that do not welcome us. It would be better to let the island people feel the personal threat. And, most importantly, if we really want to go to war with the Soviet Union, it needs to be authorized by Congress. You should also know that except for arms dealers, no one else wants us to fight with the Soviets."

The island country belongs to the Western capitalist world camp. Some people are actually dissatisfied with the United States and believe that the United States symbolizes imperialism and sin, which is simply too much! Now, let them feel that the real sin is the Soviet Union! The Soviets will invade the island country at any time, and the United States will protect the island country.

Moreover, Congress! It has launched a large-scale support for island countries and launched a war that has direct contact with the Soviet Union. It is not just the current air and maritime support. It requires the authorization of Congress to send more than 100,000 troops. The Vietnam War just ended made most of the Americans hate war, and this proposal could not be passed in Congress.

Brzezinski said many reasons. In fact, these reasons have some truth, but the most important thing is that the United States is really not suitable to fall into a full-scale war with the Soviet Union at this time.

The United States and the Soviet Union are fighting for hegemony, both sides are fighting openly and secretly, but at critical moments, there is always a retreat. Otherwise, the destruction of mankind will come. Now, this retreating role will be played by the Americans.

"Okay, Warren, you go and meet with the Soviet ambassador and let him convey our opinions to Moscow. If the Soviets are willing to end the dispute now, we can sit down and discuss the ownership of the region north of Kushiro. If Moscow still insists on doing its own thing, it means challenging the bottom line of our entire Western world!" President Carter said: "Harold, immediately draw our local air force to go to the island base! At critical moments, we will not be afraid to enter the war! Target the aircraft carrier battle group of our Pacific Fleet and go to the island waters!"

Carter said this, as if he had agreed to the plan proposed by the Soviets, which was simply too embarrassing! The United States once again compromised with the evil Soviet Union, but there was no choice.

Carter did not personally meet with the Soviet ambassador and asked the Secretary of State to be the microphone. At the same time, the United States must be prepared. If the Soviet Union really insists on its own, it will also mean the beginning of World War III!

Brezhnev, this old guy, is getting older and more courageous? He really calculated that the United States will not enter a state of war? Damn it!

Looking at the dim lights outside, after a few hours, Carter felt a little hungry, and then he remembered that he had not eaten since the morning. He turned his head and looked at his think tanks. Harold's old face was drooping, and Warren's face was not good-looking. Brzezinski breathed a sigh of relief.

Alas, I encountered so many things as soon as I entered the White House! Every thing is testing my abilities, but I always seem to be inadequate. The news came out that the opposition party didn't know how to criticize me.
Chapter completed!
