The wicked sue first.
All of this was provoked by the Soviets, but in Dobrynin’s mouth, it became the responsibility of the United States. Because the United States did not keep its promises, and it had not fulfilled Stalin’s promises, it will be what it is today. As a result, the Soviets only took back what they should have gotten.
However, the U.S. reaction was too strong, especially for a Soviet unit that lost its way. It actually carried out an extermination. This was to aggravate the situation and intensify the contradictions! Is to provoke the third world war!
President Carter originally insisted, but when he heard Dobrynin talk about the third world war, there seemed to be mushroom clouds in front of President Carter, and the painful cries of countless children appeared. Once a war breaks out, ordinary people will suffer, especially the American people!
How many children lost their fathers and wives lost their husbands during the Vietnam War? That war was actually a war that had nothing to do with the United States.
Now, how much does the war in Hokkaido have to do with the United States? If you want to insist on asking for all of Hokkaido, and then detonate World War III, or even turn into a nuclear war, then who should be responsible
Thinking of this, President Carter's mind began to mess up.
However, it is impossible to say that the conditions of the Soviets are promised. If the entire northern part of Hokkaido is ceded to the Soviets, then President Carter is afraid that he will be drowned by the Sponging Star of the Congress. When the war breaks out, he must bear the responsibility. If you ask for peace, you still have to be scolded, not people inside and outside.
This is simply an incomprehensible situation. President Carter looked out the window and muttered: "I can't agree to this condition. If the current area ceases fire, I can still think about it."
At present, the Soviets only occupied a small piece of the northeastern corner of Hokkaido. If there is a ceasefire now, then they can redeploy themselves to defend against the Soviets’ ground clusters, and temporarily ceasefire. This can be justified. If the Soviets insist on According to the Kushiro-Rumoi line, how can one agree
President Carter didn't know, Dobrynin, just waiting for these words.
The original plan to occupy the entire Hokkaido is no longer possible. The troops of the two divisions will soon be wiped out. Under these circumstances, does the Soviet still want to occupy the Kushiro-Rumoi line
Of course not, as long as it can keep the existing victory fruits, Moscow will laugh, and forcibly tore a bite of meat from the Americans' mouths!
Moreover, unlike before, as long as the land of Hokkaido is occupied now, then the offensive will continue in the future. Isn't it a matter of grasping it? Just find a chance!
After all, the weakest of the Soviet Union is the navy, and the most difficult thing to fight is the cross-sea landing. As long as the ceasefire is now, in a few years, the eastern part of Hokkaido can be turned into a copper wall and an iron wall! Become a bridgehead to continue the offensive.
If there is an accident in the forces of those two divisions, then this action can no longer be said to be a victory.
Therefore, Moscow is worrying about this matter, and Dobrynin has volunteered to propose a solution. Since it is not easy to fight, then hurry up and seek peace. President Carter is a pacifist and will definitely agree to follow the existing occupation. District for peace talks.
Mainly, how to negotiate is better.
If he came up and said that we would not fight, according to the current regional peace talks, then Carter would not agree. Therefore, first use the third world war to blame him, and then talk about our peace talks. As a result, he will tell the bottom line. .
That's it, everyone is happy!
"This is a bit difficult." Dobrynin said: "I need to report to Moscow to see how Moscow responds. But now, please immediately stop the attack on our lost troops crossing the border. If this The troops suffered heavy losses, and Moscow will definitely retaliate frantically."
We have to see whether Moscow agrees or not. In short, you must stop the actions on the Daxue Mountain immediately and kill our people. How can we negotiate? Can only continue to fight!
Carter ended the meeting with Dobrynin, and then proceeded to the oval-table conference room.
"Immediately stop the attack on the Soviet army in Daxueshan." After returning, Carter said to the Secretary of Defense Harold.
"What?" Harold's eyes widened when he heard Carter's words, and he couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say?"
The air force's fighter planes have carried out rounds of bombing. The news just got that the B-52 bomber is about to arrive on the scene. When the B-52 bomber completes the bombing, the Soviet army will suffer a heavy blow!
Then, one can counterattack, and even push the Soviets back into the sea!
It can be said that the attack on the Soviet army in Daxueshan should be regarded as a turning point in the defense of Hokkaido. Are the Soviets still so arrogant? Look at the heavy blow you have suffered!
But now, when the dawn of victory is about to appear, President Carter actually wants to stop the attack!
"My order, you have heard it." Carter said: "Now, I am still the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief of the three services. All American troops must obey my orders. If you do not give orders, then I will go. The lower-level troops issued the order, in short, to stop the attack, immediately, immediately!"
Carter's words made Harold's face look red and white. This weak president was really fed up.
"Okay, then I will give the order." Harold said: "When this conflict is over, I will submit my resignation!"
Harold has had enough, the weak diplomacy brought by a weak president!
President Carter doesn't like war. In his tenure, the army was simply shackled. Military expenditures were continuously reduced. The army could not develop at all. Now that there is war, how can he still want peace!
What else does this Secretary of Defense mean
They are the president, and they have to listen to their orders, but they can choose to choose!
Harold was already out of anger.
But President Carter was unmoved. He watched Harold leave and turned to his remaining staff, and continued: "Now let’s discuss the armistice agreement. I just discussed with the Soviet ambassador according to the actual occupation. A ceasefire in the area. We absolutely cannot agree to the Kushiro Rumoi line requested by the Soviets. At most, we will rule according to the current occupied area."
"What?" Harold walked to the door and stopped again. At this time, he could no longer describe his feelings with anger, he was already out of anger. (End of this chapter)
