To be honest, Mark Mitchell remembered that his adventure plan in the Eastern Mediterranean was to deal with the abominable Russian "God of Death". If it weren't for some inexplicable mistakes and the action was gone, then maybe the free world could kill "Crazy Ivan" and expel the damn Russian from the Caucasus, how could he be worried about the current crisis?

The corners of his mouth raised and he looked into the distance with a sneer. The former lieutenant general was still immersed in a past memory, but Joseph Plich next to him was a little sweating.

He never expected that if he took the time to catch a fish today, he would have such unexpected gains:

"But, Mr. Mitchell,—though the plan is good, that is not a complete adventure? If the nuclear bomb-type 'Immortal Bird' is really used, it will be discovered by the Russians-"

“——Discover? So what about discovery?

Do you think I haven't considered the consequences of doing this, is it a stubborn idiot or a stubborn idiot?"

It would be fine if I didn't mention the experience at that time. Once the memories of the past are evoked, the memories that are missing due to the infiltration of consciousness will be restored little by little. The elderly lieutenant general suddenly stood up and walked back and forth on a large reef indignantly, while spitting everywhere and expressing dissatisfaction, "Use nuclear bombs to eliminate the 'death', Humph, who gave me such an unknown nickname? Using tactical nuclear weapons, I, Mark Mitchell, have this authority to detonate a nuclear bomb on the high seas. So what? Maybe the politicians in Washington will be afraid of the Russians' nuclear deterrence, but I don't agree at all!"

"Ah...Mr. Mitchell, please calm down—"

"Joseph. What comes from my anger? You should know. Is it?

Think about our navy, huh, from the "Great White Fleet" that lined up and shocked the countries, the u.s.navy, which had been in a century of glory, is now going to retreat its main force to Hawaii, or even its local base, and allow the Russians to launch an attack. If anyone could have foresaw this, then consider my decision at that time. Isn't this the most desirable response to using a resolute tactical nuclear attack to defeat the spirits of the Ivans?

It would be better if I didn’t take action at that time, but as for me, I was actually sent to a mental hospital by those bastards!

I'm mentally ill, ha, I see guys with a head sick are the most in the Capitol and the Pentagon. Of course, all these fools are not as good as the one in the White House as a result!”

“…”

Hearing the old general cursing on the reef, he smeared all over the place from Congress to the president. Even the fishing rod on one side was abandoned, Joseph Prych, who was a little stumbled, reached out and scratched his head. To be honest, he also had some complaints about the top military leaders and even the United States government agencies, but he might not be able to do anything like Mark Mitchell in front of him.

Ah, we should not talk about these things now. His plan for this trip was originally intended to get some guidance from Mitchell, rather than cursing the authorities with this elderly man!

A topic started, but ended with the old man's chatter. The deputy commander was quite tactful and did not argue with the old boss anymore.

In the afternoon, sitting on the reefs blowing by the sea breeze, fishing. As a navy general, like many colleagues, Joseph Prycher was also very puzzled by the many strategic decisions of the United States since the recent and even since the war started.

Especially now, facing Russia's massive attack in the Far East, the command of the U.S.navy Fleet in Yokosuka received the order to "hold its troops" and leave Japan, South Korea and other allies in the defense zone, regardless of the main battleships, including the CV-63 "Kitty Hawk", have all contracted to the southeast of Japan, relying on the screen guard of the Seventh Air Force to ensure safety.

According to the Seventh Fleet Command and a series of battle previews of the Pacific Command, after the Russian offensive was launched, the Seventh Fleet, the United States hegemony vanguard, should immediately enter the battle, and the Third Fleet, which was in charge of the Eastern Pacific, was ready for reinforcements, and began to counterattack when the Red Empire's spirit dissipated and its strength was weak, and launched an attack in the Far East with its superior naval and air force, thus laying a victory in one fell swoop.

Such an arrangement is definitely not a big problem from a strategic point of view.

Due to natural conditions and historical factors, the war potential in the Soviet Far East has always been very limited. In the socialist camp in the East, the naval strength of other countries is indeed lacking. As long as the Seventh Fleet cooperates to station in Japan, the South Korean and American troops withstand the first wave of attacks, at most two weeks, the strong third fleet will be able to come all the way. At that time, not to mention defending Japan, South Korea will have no problem. If the battle situation allows, u.s.navy can even launch a landing war against the Eastern camp in the Far East, which is not impossible.

In short, before the war broke out, the Uspa, which had the third and the Seventh Fleet's huge power, had such a wishful thinking.

But now, why has the situation become like this...

While worried about the Far East war, Joseph Plich did not take the initiative to mention these troubles, but instead put aside the busy military affairs, sat on the reefs on the shores of the sea breeze, and calmed down to catch their own fish.

Two hours passed in a flash, and fishing quickly ended with a great harvest.

In Hawaii, the ocean surface water temperature is above 20 degrees Celsius all year round, and active tropical fish can always move in shallow water, so it is not difficult to catch them. Carrying a bucket full of fish, completely disregarding the "fishing permit" warning sign standing next to the coast, Purrie and his entourage packed their fishing gear, they got on the car and sent Mark Mitchell back to the villa outside the country.

I just heard the old general complaining, and the deputy commander sitting in the car didn't say much, but Mitchell, who had gained a lot, seemed to have recovered. While laughing happily, he told the old subordinate next to him who had been in Hawaii for a while, who had been enduring the cold winter in Yokosuka.

Since joining the Navy, Mark Mitchell served in the Third Fleet under Uspa, and was later transferred to the Atlantic Ocean. After many promotions in the Fifth Fleet, he was later promoted to the position of commander of the fleet. His long overseas trip made the Navy lieutenant general have no time to care about family affairs. It was not until the 1991 Gulf War that he moved his family to Hawaii, which was far away on the other side of the continent. He originally planned to retire and spend his rest here. Naturally, he was much more familiar with the beautiful archipelago in this vast ocean than the latecomer Joseph Plich.

Before he knew it, Mitchell, who had been chatting for a while, became interested again, took the initiative to follow the topic just now, and told Prych about his impression of the current situation:

"Well, I've already posted the complaints.

Joseph, I know the purpose of your visit today, but in my opinion, the significance of this trip is still fishing. As for strategic matters, there are some young people with a bright mind in the Pacific Command. I feel that a marine offensive in the United States is coming soon, so you and I don’t need to worry about it here.

As for the Seventh Fleet, haha, that guy David Adams is just an activity bookcase full of military theory. Mahans_'s "Second Power" is his Bible. But what era is it now? What kind of thing like "Second Power"? What else can Britain use to deal with the Germans in the modern battlefield?

Humph, needless to say, I always speak bluntly, and Joseph, you are the same."

"Ah...Mr. Mitchell, you mean-"

"I'm not criticizing you, Joseph, I'm reminding you, ha!

Speaking of this, I want to mention the mess in the Mediterranean again. Anyway, it was a failure in the end. According to the "elites" from Indianapolis, they would definitely not recognize my nuclear attack order, but what is the ending? Did the Russians be beaten back to their hometown by us?

This is the situation in the Middle East, and the current Pacific Ocean is actually the same. The outdated naval warfare theory must be revised, such as "sea power" and "blocking and containment". The damn Ivans don't care about the sea power in the Far East, which is completely different from our United States.

Maritime power is the lifeline of the United States of America, but to the Russians, it is just an optional thing!

If the Caucasus could win together in this situation, the situation might be a little different. Now, Humph, Joseph, let me say something to you. The decision of the Pacific Command is definitely problematic.

A bunch of rigid bureaucrats are still thinking about how to fight for maritime power. It is best to block Russian ships in the breakwaters of Vladivostok. But no one thinks about what the meaning of doing this is, is it to ensure the security of Far ASEAN countries, or to ensure the maritime transportation between the United States and Japan?

To ensure transportation lines, but what can those 'banzai's' give us, and the damn Korean monkeys, the above are clearly swaying now. They want to shrink the front line and simply give up these two half-baked countries, and cannot take the face of a leader in the free world. So they are now anxious and plan to eliminate Ivan's main ships and submarines through a carefully planned maritime decisive battle so that they can continue to protect the two useless countries.
Chapter completed!
