Chapter 1776: Network Collection Operation 13

It affects the government's credibility and shows that it wants to announce the true facts to the people; what the Japanese mean is that it is clearly to embarrass the US military garrison.

As the president of the United States, he must stop all this; otherwise he would be irresponsible to the country and the military. He obviously has the ability to help him, but chooses to stand by and watch. The military knows that it will definitely have opinions on him as president; not to mention how perfect his governing resume is.

, but it is still remarkable; I don’t want any stain to appear at the end of the administration.

But sometimes we still have to take care of the Japanese people's emotions. Such a powerful explosion will make people uncomfortable in any country where it happens.

Reagan thought for a moment and said: "I don't know what the Ambassador means. The United States stationed troops in Japan to defend against the Soviet Union and to ensure Japan's national security. The two countries themselves are strategic partners. Please don't make anything that will hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy.

things."

The meaning is obvious. There are no US troops stationed; the Soviet Union has already taken action against Japan. Can there still be peace on the island?

If Noboru Takeshita had not called to introduce the Soviet situation, perhaps the Japanese ambassador would still have been blinded, but now he really would not take the old man seriously.

How can a country with internal chaos have the energy and strength to invade. Besides, even if the Soviet Union makes a big move, it will definitely start in Europe; the Soviet navy is not enough to guarantee large-scale landing operations.

On the surface, the Soviet Navy was quite powerful at its peak, much more powerful than the Russian Navy in later generations. The Soviet Navy reached its peak between 1980 and 1991 before its disintegration. At this time, the Soviet Navy's strength was, compared to

It is not much inferior to the U.S. Navy, especially its submarine force, which far exceeds that of the United States.

At present, the Soviet Navy has a total of 240 nuclear submarines, including 61 ballistic missile nuclear submarines, 59 cruise missile nuclear submarines, 60 attack nuclear submarines, and 60 conventional submarines. During the same period, the US Navy had 192 submarines, including 59 strategic submarines.

missile nuclear submarines, 1 cruise missile nuclear submarine, and 132 attack nuclear submarines.

It can be seen that in terms of the number of nuclear-powered submarines, the Soviet Union is able to stabilize the pressure on the United States.

But it is limited to this. Other combat ships are much inferior to those of the United States. Although the Soviet Navy also has several aircraft carriers, it is more appropriate to call them aircraft-carrying cruisers. Their performance is not very advanced, and all of them are ski jumps.

Take off; combat capability and level are very limited.

With the strength of Japan as a country, it is definitely not a rival to the Soviet Union; but there is China next to it, forming a stable and peaceful region.

With the reduction of the U.S. military garrison, the extra funds can be used for the construction of its own army. It is better to have it yourself than to have it for your father and mother. Especially in the military field, it is even more important.

Japanese Ambassador: "It is true that the U.S. military garrison protects Japan; but the current international situation is not that complicated, and the Far East is relatively stable."

"In addition, this time we must give an explanation to the people, otherwise it will not be justified at all."

"So what we mean is to reduce the US garrison from the existing 35,000 to 17,500. The strength of US soldiers is enough to cope with various crises."

"At the same time, Japan can also order weapons and equipment from your country. As long as it is any weapon and equipment that the United States allows to sell, it can spend a lot of money to buy it."

"Withdrawing part of the troops also means to release goodwill; let neighboring countries see that Japan and the United States do not have great ambitions. Your Excellency, the President, should know that given the current situation of the Soviet Union and the personality of the leader, he will not make crazy moves

.”

The Japanese really dare to think of directly reducing the size of the garrison by half; it is obvious that they will not give face.

However, a large arms order has been issued. It is estimated that the major domestic military industry giants will definitely not remain indifferent after learning about it. However, this opening must not be opened, otherwise other countries will rush to follow suit. If the United States wants to maintain its global rapid strike capability, it will become

Very difficult.

Since the 1960s, France has not allowed the United States to station troops; it has directly withdrawn from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, believing that its own capabilities are sufficient to deal with various crises. The United States was very passive at that time; assuming that Japan, which is richer than France, does the same, the future will not be good.

Good at controlling the situation.

He didn't retire in a few days, but he couldn't leave a mess to his successor. If that were the case, his historical status would certainly not be that high.

Reagan believed that his performance in all aspects during his administration was perfect; with the introduction of Star Wars, the Soviet Union was almost brought down. It can be said that things that Eisenhower, Nixon, etc. failed to do will be completed in his hands. Perhaps not during his presidential term.

But the people will definitely think that it is all his fault.

The victory of World War II and the surrender of Germany and Japan; although it happened during the Truman period, the world will regard it as Roosevelt's contribution. The same is true for the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Historians will objectively attribute it to Reagan's contribution.

At this moment, the Japanese actually want to reduce the size of the US military garrison. Isn't this causing trouble for themselves?

Reagan said with a serious expression: "The security treaty between the United States and Japan has long been signed. How can it be easily changed? National credibility is very important, and the Soviets can do anything. Once a landing operation is carried out in Japan, with the current size of Japan's army,

Can you handle it?"

The Japan-U.S. Security Treaty is a military alliance treaty signed between Japan and the United States at the U.S. Army's Sixth Army Headquarters in San Francisco on September 8, 1951. This treaty not only constitutes the legal basis for Japan's subordination to the United States, but also allows the United States to almost control Japan.

Unlimited establishment, expansion and use of military bases.

It is definitely the Sword of Damocles over the heads of the Japanese; it allows the United States to take control of Japan at any time.

In fact, most Japanese people are opposed to this treaty. No one wants to hand over their country's security to foreign soldiers. If a war breaks out, American soldiers will never be able to count on them. Maybe they are the fastest group of people.

From 1959 to 1960, the Japanese people conducted 23 national unified actions to oppose the revision of the Japan-US Security Treaty. As a result, Eisenhower was forced to cancel his plan to visit Japan, and Nobusuke Kishi was forced to step down. The number of people participating in each unified action was small.

It can range from several million to tens of millions. The scale of the struggle, its duration, and the breadth of participating classes are unprecedented in Japanese history.

But what is very suspicious is that after it expired in 1970, the Japanese government notified the U.S. government and announced that the treaty would be automatically extended.

Perhaps the situation forced Japan to make compromises.

Although there are no plans to terminate the Japan-US security treaty at this moment, the signal is already very clear; no one can do everything at once, and reducing the troop garrison is enough to illustrate the problem.

Moreover, given Japan's current strength and surrounding political environment, it should not dare to break up with the United States.

Although he never actually went to the battlefield, Reagan also participated in World War II; of course he knew the character of the Japanese. He felt that his wings had slowly hardened and he began to not pay attention to the United States.

But then again, it is true that the US military is not authentic this time. There is no good place to experiment with new missiles. I will find a desert or no-man's land. Wait until the technology is stable and go to other countries. How will it end now? I am about to retire.

Reagan; didn't want to offend too many people.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with safeguarding the interests of the United States, but you must also consider the rest of your life and the descendants of your family. If you really offend everyone, your life will become miserable in your later years, but your family will definitely not enjoy the good harvest.

At the same time, we should not push the Japanese too hard. It can be said that the scale is very difficult to grasp. We only brought up the Japan-US Security Treaty as a last resort, just to see what the Japanese's attitude is first.

Japanese Ambassador: "Your Excellency, what the President said does make sense. Originally, Japan did not want to reduce the scale of its military presence. But if it does not do so, the people will not agree at all."

"Although Japan's economy has developed rapidly in the past few years, this year's economy is not optimistic. Your Excellency the President should have heard this. The people themselves are not very satisfied with the government. The accidental bombing incident cannot have a result; it will inevitably lead to excessive behavior."

"Of course, it would be a different matter if President Reagan went to Japan in person; it would definitely be a good comfort to the people. The Japanese people are very interested in the life and deeds of His Excellency the President, and they admire him very much."

Reagan was such a smart person, he immediately understood what he meant; how could he still visit Japan when he retired in a few days?

The most important thing at the moment is a smooth handover. As the president of the United States, he holds too many secrets and naturally has to hand them over to the next one. If something happens during this period, it will be extremely detrimental to the stability of the country.

Even though he knew it was impossible to visit Japan, he still invited him to Japan. At the same time, he mentioned his life story. Without even thinking about it, he knew that he must be invited to give lectures and publish his memoirs.

This is the main way for the US president to make money after he leaves office, otherwise he will starve to death just relying on his pension. Even though Reagan was born in Hollywood, he has not acted for many years. After becoming the US president, he also announced the end of his acting career;

Even if he returns to Hollywood, at his current age, he will not be able to attract any audience.

In order to win the support of actors, I offended all the major Hollywood film companies. After losing the rights, it is already very good not to step on you, how can I still give you a high salary?

Japan's economy has been developing at a rapid pace for more than 30 years. Even if there are some problems this year, the foundation is still there. The income from speeches and book publishing will definitely not be low, and Reagan was very moved.

Reagan thought for a moment and said: "As the president of the United States, of course he is aware of Japan's difficulties; the people do need to be comforted, and there must be no anti-American sentiment."

"However, withdrawing half of the garrison at once will be very stressful. We can control the scale to a quarter, so that everyone will have an explanation."

It is very rare for Americans to make concessions, but they dare not make excessive demands.

Moreover, the previous bottom line of Prime Minister Takeshita Nobu was 5,000 people, and now the goal has been exceeded.

The Japanese ambassador smiled and said: "Don't make it too difficult for the President, everything will be done according to your wishes!"

It can be regarded as a happy situation. In fact, Reagan is not only considering retirement; as the president of the United States, he is not so selfish. Indeed, as the Japanese ambassador said, an explanation must be given to the Japanese people; the current main task is to bring down the Soviet Union; this must not happen

A little mistake.

Once the Japanese lead to the Soviet Union, they will inevitably regain their health; then all previous efforts will be in vain. Reagan cannot afford such losses, and the United States does not dare to take risks.

After the Japanese ambassador to the United States left the White House, Reagan asked his secretary to call Secretary of Defense Weinberg. Since he had decided to withdraw some troops from Japan, he had to get things done quickly.

The president and defense minister at this time simply cannot afford to delay it; they will be sorry to wait until they leave office; the things they promised may very well be invalidated.

Although he didn't know what the president asked him to do, as a subordinate, he had to be on call at any time. At this time, Weinberg was also thinking, hadn't the Japanese matter already been decided? Could it be that he had changed his mind.

Reagan didn't waste any time and said directly: "Secretary Weinberg, the Japanese ambassador has just arrived; regarding the explosion of the U.S. military base in Japan, the public has developed anti-American sentiments."

"At present, our top priority is to defeat the Soviet Union, and other things can be put aside."

"In order to take care of the sentiments of the Japanese, the size of the garrison must be further reduced."

"Didn't we have a plan before to send a group of people from China to replace the officers and soldiers who are about to retire?"

"Retired officers and soldiers should just come back directly. Don't transfer soldiers from the mainland to Japan. Transferring all personnel to Alaska will always put the Soviets under pressure."

As the Secretary of Defense promoted by Reagan, he must obey orders; besides, as long as Reagan is in power, he will be the supreme commander-in-chief of the U.S. military.

After the Japanese ambassador reported to Noboru Takeshita, major Japanese media soon began to announce the cause of the explosion.

After hearing that it was caused by the Americans testing new missiles, the surrounding people immediately quit and asked the US troops to withdraw and not stay in Japan.

Of course, we also knew that the Americans would not agree; but they had to escalate the matter and put pressure on the United States. In fact, it was Takeshita Noboru who was behind the move and indirectly supported Reagan's troop withdrawal order.

In just two days, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that it had reached an agreement with Japan. After retired officers and soldiers return to the United States, they will no longer send troops to Japan this time.

Equivalent to the size of the US military garrison in Japan, the number has been reduced by 8,000. I did not expect that the Americans would give in, and the Japanese people were not stupid. They knew that it would not be good for everyone to continue the quarrel, so the matter was temporarily brought to an end.

As for the U.S. Department of Defense's announcement that it would send an additional infantry brigade to Alaska, it immediately aroused alarm among the Soviets.

Because in Lao Maozi's view, the Soviet Union deliberately reduced the size of its troops stationed in Japan; while appeasing Japan, it could also express goodwill to China. But the increase in troops in Alaska is obviously not to defend Canada, and the purpose is self-evident.

The Soviet Ministry of Defense quickly responded by dispatching an armored division directly from East Germany and heading to the Far East. This time, we must not show weakness, let alone allow the Americans to compete.

The Soviets had a simple idea: to reduce the number of troops stationed in Europe; this would reassure neighboring countries to some extent, and it could also be considered a release of goodwill.

The happiest person is undoubtedly the Orb Maxley team. Before, they were worried that people transferred from China would thoroughly investigate the matter; now it seems that there is no need to worry. What if they retire directly? They have already made enough money anyway!
