Chapter 306: World War III (Part 2)

"Everyone, we forgot about the air force. In combat, gaining air superiority is the most important thing. And now, our various air bases have fallen into chaos due to the counterattack of the island nation's Self-Defense Forces, and our fighter planes are unable to take off to support our ground forces." Vice President Walter also maintained a cautious attitude towards going to war.

If a war really breaks out, the United States cannot afford to lose. Once it loses, the United States will lose its position as the big brother in NATO. When the time comes, Congress will investigate and President Carter will definitely have to step down. According to convention, before the new presidential election, it is the vice president who will come up to clean up the mess.

"We still have aircraft carriers! We have two aircraft carrier formations and hundreds of fighter jets outside Tokyo! These fighter jets are enough to seize air supremacy over Honshu! What's more, the Soviets are now fighting under the banner of maintaining stability on Honshu Island, and they will not necessarily engage in fierce combat with us in the air." Brzezinski said.

The bases on land have come to a standstill, and so have the aircraft carriers! Recently, the Phoenix missiles, which have been upgraded and improved, have the ability to intercept Mach 3 targets. The Soviet MiG-25 is no longer the king of the sky! Moreover, if a war really breaks out, there are still Korean troops stationed there to cooperate.

In short, the United States must fight this war. The United States must let the Soviet Union know that the United States will not give in blindly. For the island countries, the United States must intervene militarily!

"Everyone, have you ever thought that this might really trigger a world war?" Looking at his colleagues, Warren made his last effort.

"In the past, we were too afraid of starting a world war, so we let the Soviet Union constantly challenge our bottom line. The Soviets thought we would keep giving in!" Harold said, "Let's start a world war. If the Soviets want to fight, we will welcome it!"

The first person to calm down was Carter. He looked at his staff arguing, while the CIA Director Admiral Stein remained silent.

"Stan, how can you lift it?" Carter asked Stan.

"Our reconnaissance satellites have observed that the Soviet Union's ballistic missile trains have begun combat readiness maneuvers since last month, and the frequency is several times higher than before. We have also observed that all Soviet troops have canceled their vacations, and live ammunition has long been distributed to the front-line troops. Especially in the direction of East Germany, the Soviets are fully equipped and manned, and those strategic nuclear submarines in their nuclear submarine bases have long disappeared." Stan said.

Stan's voice was not loud, but every word hit these people's hearts hard. Although the information was not enough, it was enough to judge that the Soviets were ready to fight the Third World War!

Do these belligerents think the global village is not peaceful enough? Do they want to turn the Cold War into a hot war?

"During the Brezhnev era, the Soviet Union's economy developed on a large scale, and their national defense capabilities also developed to an abnormal extreme. However, Brezhnev at that time had been sleeping in the position of General Secretary and had no intention of really conflicting with us. However, the newly appointed Andropov is different. His appointment was fully supported by Defense Minister Ustinov, which shows that the two have exactly the same political opinions. We all know that Ustinov is a tough guy who has been actively promoting the Soviet Union's global strategy." Stan continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, in a short period of time, the Soviet army advanced from the Kushiro-Rumoi line to the southern part of Hokkaido. This is in the mountainous and hilly Hokkaido region. On the vast and indefensible plains of Western Europe, can our defense line stop the Soviet armored cluster?"

The rolling steel torrent has always been the nightmare of the entire Western Europe! Now, the Soviets' advance in southern Hokkaido is like a rehearsal for a large-scale attack. The combat effectiveness of those guys in Western Europe is actually not much stronger than that of the island countries!

The Third World War, maybe the Soviet Union is more likely to be started by the United States! Once the Soviets start the Third World War, they may plant the sickle and hammer flag all over Western Europe!

The Soviets, dare you start World War III? This is simply driving everyone crazy.

This is not the 1990s of later generations, when the Soviet Union collapsed and the United States became the only superpower and the village chief in the global village. In the late 1970s, the Soviet Union was aggressive and the United States was on the defensive!

The Americans were helpless. The Soviets had gone too far. Not only did they occupy half of Hokkaido, they also wanted to occupy the entire Hokkaido. Not satisfied with occupying the entire Hokkaido, they also landed on Honshu.

As for the public opinion and elections of the island countries, it's all nonsense. It must be the Soviets who are manipulating it, and the people of the island countries are confused!

Brzezinski and Harold, who had been very tough just now, calmed down at this time. Their eyes were only on the island country. The United States could not suffer any more losses in the island country. They had to fight a war to strike a blow against the arrogance of the Soviets!

However, if the Soviets had already prepared for war and really intended to launch the Third World War, a protracted war would have been of no benefit to the United States. Western Europe would have been devastated, and the United States would have been unable to survive without its little brothers.

Let alone using nuclear bombs, use a wave of powerful nuclear bombs to wipe out the entire Soviet Union! The United States has nuclear bombs, and the Soviet Union has them too! Moreover, the Soviet Union is now clearly prepared for a nuclear war. Fixed launch silos are not a threat, and those missile trains and ballistic missile nuclear submarines have already begun combat readiness duty!

Damn furry bear!

If a war really breaks out, it may give the Soviets an excuse to start World War III. No matter what the outcome is, the process is not what the United States wants to experience. If there is no war, then what if the United States has to watch the Chi military organization on the island country take control of the entire island country and force the US military to leave in disgrace? Will the United States still have the face to do that?

No matter what choice you make, it will be wrong! No matter what decision you make, you will be criticized by the people and the opposition party will use it as an excuse to criticize you!

"Mr. President, our ambassador to Iran, Sullivan, sent a secret telegram saying that Iran's regime has become extremely unstable and the Pahlavi government may fall at any time." At this moment, another piece of bad news came.

Iran! Iran, which has long been experiencing political instability, is now in a state of disarray and out of control! Iran is extremely important to the United States, as it is related to its energy security!

Carter scratched his hair vigorously with his hands, looked at the White House Chief of Staff who came to report the news, and said, "What's going on?"
