Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Before the facts are clear, we really don't dare to let the Japanese enter the military base. But Japan's requirements are not too excessive, and a compromise must be adopted.

Reagan thought for a moment and said: "Prime Minister Takeshita Nobori, the current situation is unknown; it is still dangerous to enter the military base at this time. The Japanese side does not understand the situation and will wait until the hidden dangers are eliminated; your personnel are entering so that no accident will occur."

On the surface, it does seem to be for the sake of Japan, but this is just an excuse; and there is a deliberate concealment of meaning in it. What does Reagan mean? Does the United States really have ulterior secrets inside Japanese military bases?

The United States has deployed nuclear or biological weapons in Japan; otherwise they have nothing to hide.

Noboru Takeshita: "President Reagan, I must explain to the people; if we cannot report it in time, it will cause panic."

This is absolutely true. After all, the residents around the US military base are already flooding the police station with calls. The explosion was so powerful that all the glass in the surrounding buildings was shattered. Not only does it involve compensation issues, people are also worried about whether there will be nuclear radiation, as well as biochemical pollution.

As Prime Minister, if you cannot properly resolve this matter and satisfy the people, then why should people support you?

At this time, Reagan had no idea. As president, he had many things to manage. How could he know the situation of the military warehouses at the US military bases in Japan?

The Japanese have a very clear purpose. They want to enter and see if it is as described; if it is really a tactical nuclear weapon explosion, the surrounding people must be evacuated.

Once the Americans deliberately conceal it, it will be their own people who will suffer. The serious consequences of the Soviet Union's Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion are still affecting nearby residents.

Reagan thought for a moment and said: "In principle, I have no objection to Japan's entry, but I need to communicate with the garrison headquarters first; I hope you can understand."

The arms are destined to be unable to twist the thighs, but being able to achieve this effect is already very good. Takeshita Noboru didn't dare to have too many extravagant expectations. I just want to have the consciousness of my younger brother.

After hanging up the phone, Reagan answered the phone at the garrison headquarters; this was rare in American history; he did not notify the Department of Defense, which was suspected of overstepping the command.

But I can't care about that much at this time, I have to understand the situation clearly; the Japanese are still waiting for news, and it's not good to wait too long.

Lieutenant General Dunlop didn't expect that as soon as he put down the phone number of the Secretary of Defense, a call came from the White House's encrypted phone number. It’s a blessing, not a curse, but it’s a curse that cannot be avoided; the president’s call must be answered.

Even though Reagan is about to leave office, he is still the president of the country and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces; he has the power to deal with any military officer.

Of course, Defense Secretary Weinberg's phone call just now gave him a certain amount of confidence. By stating that no investigation team will be dispatched domestically, it has already acquiesced to the inference of technical experts. In other words, everything is left to the base to handle.

As long as no one is sent over, there will be no problem; there is no airtight wall in the world, and we are worried that there will be loopholes in some places.

Lieutenant General Dunlop stood in front of the phone and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Vice Admiral Dunlop of the Navy is reporting to you!"

Even if Reagan isn't around, show that you are around; it's important to feel respected.

Reagan was still very satisfied, at least with the general's attitude; he couldn't find anything wrong with it. But things still need to be clarified, at least to be aware of it! So he said directly: "Lieutenant General Dunlop, there was an accidental bombing of a Japanese base. Defense Minister Weinberg reported to me. Japanese Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita just called me, hoping to allow Japanese personnel to enter the military base; to check the relevant situation. "

"The main reason is that I am worried about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological and chemical weapons by the U.S. military; as the president, I should have the right to know the truth of the matter, and I hope you can tell the truth."

"Did the military use tactical nuclear weapons or biological and chemical weapons during this exercise? The current international situation is very delicate and the Japanese cannot be squeezed too hard."

The last sentence is a bit redundant. Soldiers should not be involved in politics.

But as a lieutenant general, he is already a senior military commander; especially as the commander-in-chief of overseas military bases, he must consider more.

Dunlop replied directly: "Your Excellency, with the honor of a soldier, I guarantee that I will never use any prohibited weapons. Currently, there are only two tactical nuclear weapons in the Japanese base, both of which are stored in a warehouse 100 meters underground to meet emergency needs. No. No one can use it unless authorized by the White House."

"As for biological and chemical weapons, they are stored separately; confidentiality measures are very strict. The reason why this time was so powerful was because the largest conventional weapons warehouse in the base exploded."

"There are not only a large number of weapons and equipment inside the warehouse, but also more than 2,000 tons of high-explosive military explosives; so it is not surprising that it was considered an explosion of a small tactical nuclear weapon."

As long as it is not tactical nuclear weapons or biological and chemical weapons, Japan will also have an explanation. As a World War II veteran, I can vouch for my military honor and show that what I say is true and that no doubt is allowed.

Reagan said with a smile: "I feel relieved if you say that. Please tell me about the specific losses; and whether it is convenient for the Japanese to enter."

Although Weinberg just gave a report, it is not first-hand information after all, so there will inevitably be omissions. It is necessary to understand the actual situation clearly before making the next decision.

Dunlop didn't like the Japanese in his heart. During World War II, the old boy mainly followed MacArthur to fight in the Pacific Theater. As a second lieutenant officer, I have seen the ferocity of the Japanese; many comrades died beside me, and I still remember it fresh to this day.

But as the president said, if the Japanese are not allowed in, it will inevitably cause conflicts between the two countries. How can we say that the explosion occurred on someone else's territory?

Lieutenant General Dunlop thought for a moment and said: "There is no problem in letting the Japanese in. After all, it is just an explosion of conventional weapons; there is no need to hide it. But it is limited to the place where the explosion occurred. It is not very convenient in other places; there are too many advanced weapons and equipment, and it is related to American Military Secrets.”

"As for the losses, the weapons warehouse was razed to the ground and two officers died. Many windows in the base were shattered and some people were scratched. The injuries were not very serious. There is no feedback yet, but based on the estimated explosion yield, there must be some in the surrounding area. The glass of many civilian buildings was shattered, and we may be asked to compensate."

The loss was within control, and as for compensation for a few pieces of glass, it wasn't a big deal. As for the loss of weapons warehouses, it may be a good thing for arms dealers; I believe the American people will understand. Even if you don't understand it, you can still turn it to the positive side and there won't be any problem.

Weinberg has been asked to comfort the families of the victims, and there are only two of them; if the compensation is higher, they can cope with it. From the moment they entered the military camp, the family should have expected this day to happen.

Reagan: "You have to investigate the compensation matter clearly; try to appease the Japanese."

"As for entering the military base, arrange for a warm reception; I believe in your ability to do things!"

The president's intention is very clear: more compensation can be given; the Japanese who have suffered losses must be satisfied and cannot cause trouble. At the same time, entering the military base is limited to viewing the explosion area; others are not allowed.

Lieutenant General Dunlop replied directly: "No problem, I will make arrangements right away."

After hanging up the phone with the military base, Reagan called Japanese Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita and stated that Japan would be allowed to enter the military base in principle. At the same time, the garrison headquarters has been ordered to compensate the local people for all losses.

Hearing this, Takeshita Noboru felt very uncomfortable; what does it mean to be allowed to enter in principle? However, it is very rare for Americans to make such a big concession, and their strength does not allow Japan to be too willful. It is not easy to take the initiative to compensate; it is better to accept it as soon as possible!

When Reagan was on the phone with Takeshita Noboru, the head of the Japanese intelligence department had already arrived at the gate of the military base. They wanted to enter to check the situation, but the guards said nothing and would not allow it. Just kidding about US military bases, the Japanese can enter them if they want.

Even if this is Japanese territory, no Japanese has the right to enter without orders from the White House and the Department of Defense. Of course, they were indeed at fault this time, saying that they had investigated the matter thoroughly and would report it to Japan.

It's obviously bullying, and there's no pretense at all. But seeing the American soldiers with live ammunition, the head of the Japanese intelligence department really didn't dare to break in.

Strength is one thing, the most important thing is to make Americans anxious; but it can do anything. It is very rare for these uncles not to cause trouble. If they provoke them, there will be no good results.

Learning that the Japanese had arrived at the gate of the base and were still wearing radiation-proof suits; Dunlop knew that perhaps the Japanese had never believed them.

People are like this. After something happens, they rarely look for the cause within themselves, and always think that it is the other party's problem. He also didn't think about it. The explosion yield was so large that it was normal for the Japanese to suspect that it was a tactical nuclear weapon. You must know that Japan has actually experienced two atomic bombs, so it is naturally more nervous than other countries.

The presidents all agreed to allow the Japanese to enter the military base, and Lieutenant General Dunlop immediately issued an order; the Japanese were allowed to enter, but the number could not exceed ten people.

At the same time, Colonel Orb Maisley was ordered to be responsible for the reception. He did not want to see the Japanese.

After receiving the order, the guards immediately let them go. Aub Maxley brought the Japanese directly to the scene.

In Colonel Maxley's mind, the Japanese should not come; but since the president has issued orders, he must obey them. Family scandals should not be publicized. An accidental bombing would be a shame for the US military.

Seeing that the military warehouse was in ruins and there was a large pit ten meters deep on the ground, you knew how powerful the explosion was. They took out the testing equipment and found no radiation or biochemical pollution; the Japanese were relieved.

The head of Japanese intelligence thought for a moment and said: "Colonel Maxley, I want to know why the accidental bombing occurred."

Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita had just called him and said that Reagan said it was caused by testing a new type of missile; anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing this. The experiment of new missiles is not in the United States, but comes to Japan. I really think that the Japanese are easy to bully.

But now is not the time to get angry. Even if you want to get angry, you must learn to control it. The Americans still want to take three points without any reason. If they are really pushed into a hurry, something might happen again.

Aub-Maisley: "The main reason is that the performance of the new missile is not particularly stable, which led to the tragedy. At present, I have the authorization to introduce so much. I hope you can understand."

He said he wanted the other party to understand, but his attitude didn't show it at all; his tone was arrogant. The meaning is obvious, don't keep asking; there are some things you shouldn't know, so as not to cause trouble for each other.

The head of the Japanese intelligence department thought for a while and said: "Colonel Maxley, the missile has unstable performance; why should it be tested in Japan? I hope you can give a suitable reason from the United States."

His subordinates were all looking at him, and this time it was indeed a Japanese man.

Another key point is that as an investigator who goes deep into the US military base, it is natural to inform the public about the relevant situation. To put it bluntly, it was the unstable performance of the new missile tested by the United States that led to the explosion, and the people were bound to cause an uproar.

If the country is experimenting with new weapons and it causes serious consequences, the people may still be able to accept it. The experiment is successful and the country becomes strong; it is also to protect their security.

But now the Americans are testing missiles, not in the United States; instead, they are testing missiles in Japan. Isn't this obviously bullying people, and can even be said to be disrespectful of human life!

I didn't expect that the person in front of me didn't know what was good or bad, so there was nothing to be polite about.

Orb Maxley said coldly: "The new missiles tested are mainly to defend against the Soviet Union; and they were developed based on Japan's climate conditions, so they naturally have to be tested in Japan."

Colonel Maxley is the only one who can tell lies so grandly. The Japanese didn't feel uncomfortable hearing the question, they even felt nauseous.

In order to defend against the Soviet Union, they developed weapons based on Japan's climate conditions; they really thought they were fools. The Soviet Union is now in decline, so there is no need to take precautions; it is difficult to continue to exist as a country.

Weapons research and development does need to consider climate issues, but as the fourth largest country in the world, the United States cannot even find a suitable experimental site and has to come to Japan. Isn’t this lying with open eyes?

But seeing the cold eyes of the American colonel in front of him, the head of the Japanese intelligence agency could only choose to retreat.

They need to organize the language well so as not to offend Americans; they also need to satisfy the domestic people. Being a civil servant in Japan is really much more difficult than imagined!

Aub-Maisley directly rejected Japan's request to check other places in the past. What an international joke. It is already very rare for you to see the explosion site, so don't push it too far.

Seeing that the other party showed no mercy at all, the Japanese once again chose to give in; they directly left the US military base in Japan.

Although things were not done perfectly, one thing is certain; it was not an explosion of small tactical nuclear weapons or biological and chemical weapons. You can report to the Prime Minister and have an explanation to the people!
