Chapter 208: Flicking Again
"If the reaction armor effect is similar to that of Israel, the bulletproof capability should be increased by at least 200 mm. Of course, the actual situation may be better, and the bulletproof level may be increased by 300 to 400 mm." Major General Field said: "It seems that our 105mm armor-piercing bomb cannot penetrate the main battle tanks of the Soviets. We cannot penetrate the opponent at all unless we penetrate through the gaps in these explosive armor."
Now there is no chance. People can easily destroy their own tanks. Even if they rush up regardless of casualties, they still find that they cannot penetrate the other side!
In terms of army equipment, the Soviet Union has always had an advantage. Although the West has been catching up, it seems that the gap is gradually widening!
"Fortunately we did not start a war. If we really started another war, we will not only be unable to recover the land in northern Hokkaido, but even the southern Hokkaido will be annexed by the Soviets." Lieutenant General Paul, the commander of the US military in Japan, sighed.
Originally, as the army was constantly mobilizing to the north and with the increasing number of new tanks, the US military stationed in Japan and the island government were formulating plans for counterattack, hoping to push the invading Soviets into the sea in one go.
Although the United States agreed to the Soviet Union's occupation of northern Hokkaido at that time, it was only unilateral. The island country did not issue a statement to agree. At that time, the United States would not speak. Public opinion in the Western world once again supported the island country and drove away the Soviets. Can the Soviets still attack and launch a large-scale landing war like last time?
Now it seems that this is just wishful thinking. The Soviets are waiting for their own war. The Soviets have a great appetite and must have the ambition to annex the entire Hokkaido.
"Are the Soviets pretending to behave and deliberately performing for us?" said Colonel Rusfield, director of the Intelligence Department of the Pacific Command. All this seems too incredible. The Soviets were not conspiring, right? I remembered that the Soviet aircraft carrier was able to take off and land the MiG-25 last month, which always made Rusfield feel like he was being trapped.
"Even if the Soviets cheat, we cannot deal with it." Lieutenant General Paul said: "We have lost half of Hokkaido now, and we cannot lose the entire Hokkaido. Until we have no absolute advantage, we cannot start the war recklessly."
When the Soviets landed in Hokkaido, this strategic advantage was firmly controlled by the Soviets. The United States was passive. Now, it is more passive and launches a counterattack when the situation is unfavorable? This is a sign of Alzheimer's disease.
"Yes, our domestic tank development must continue to make great strides. It is long time since Rheinmetall 120mm tank guns were introduced. Only such artillery can gain the advantage of the Soviet 125mm tank guns. Also, our vehicle body armor must also be strengthened. Only after the depleted uranium armor is developed successfully can our tanks have sufficient advantages." Major General Field said.
When the m1 tank was developed, it considered the equipment of the 120mm tank gun and reserved enough space. However, now the United States believes that the 105mm tank gun is enough, and the development of the 120mm tank gun is not good, so it is not equipped.
We can't delay any more! Just when the United States was developing the m1 tank, Germany, which parted ways with the United States, had already created the Leopard 2 tank. The Germans simultaneously experimented with the 105mm gun and 120mm high-pressure smoothbore gun.
Now, it is time to introduce technology from Germany. Immediately replace the m1 with a 120mm tank gun to have the ability to penetrate the main armor of the Soviets head-on. Moreover, the protection ability of its own tanks must be greatly improved, which requires the latest depleted uranium armor!
Without advanced equipment, starting a war rashly will lead to abuse!
"Notify the island countries to suspend our cherry blossom plan." Lieutenant General Paul said.
The islanders named the action to regain the north the Cherry Blossom Plan. Now, the cherry blossoms have long since faded, but the action has not yet begun.

"Andre, your idea is really good!" Yazov said to Andrei at the command center of the Hokkaido Special Zone of the Far East Military Region in Kushiro City.
The news from the agents hidden by the island country's senior management was that the island country had already suppressed the plan to recover northern Hokkaido and was tirelessly developing new tanks. The Americans once treacherously abandoned the island people.
Of course, all this is thanks to Andre's reckless trick.
Homogeneous armor, one meter of penetration depth, and Andre dared to think of it! In this era, the depth of armor-piercing bombs of the Soviet Union was only three to four hundred millimeters!
Even the newly developed depleted uranium armor-piercing bomb, the new tail stable shell-piercing bomb that has not solved the process problems, has an armor-piercing depth of more than 700 mm!
There was a hollow layer in the middle of the steel block used as a target. In this way, a performance of piercing through the large iron block was performed in front of the Western reporter.
Facts have also proved that Westerners are unreliable. They just told the other party not to reveal the secrets here, and turned around and told others.
"With this experience, the American new tank will not launch large-scale military operations before it is successfully developed. We can win at least half a year of breathing time." Andre said: "In this six months, Tagil should be able to complete the improvement of our T-72. At that time, we will not be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the latest American tanks."
This is of course to buy time for the improvement of T-72. Otherwise, Andre really hopes that the Americans will inspire the islanders to provoke them, and that they will go south in one fell swoop, completely occupying the entire Hokkaido, and even attacking Tokyo!
"Yes, Andre, you have made contributions to our Far East Military Region again." Yazov said: "This time I did a great job, and we should spend the next six months safely."
"Of course not." Andre said, "The Americans and the islanders will not provoke them anymore, so we have to cause some trouble for them."
Andre's eyes were turning, and in the eyes of those who knew him, he knew that Andre had some new tricks to tease the Americans and the islanders.
Daxue Mountains in central Hokkaido.
The towering mountains and the blue sky and white clouds in the sky are set off by lush forests everywhere. Such a place is like a paradise on earth.
In the 1930s, the island country established a national park here, which has always been a tourist destination. The most tourists were in June and July. But now, there are no tourists.
