A passionate speech made the truth very clear. The President, who has been struggling in the political circle for many years, does not need to say those high-sounding empty words on the conference venue.

For example, the United States of America is like a bank with strong assets and overflowing lending. It can not only use its own capital, but also use its prestige and reputation to engage creditors and debtors to fight back against the strong challenges of other economic entities; however, this alliance is not without a price. The vassal state itself is weak, but it is not a fool. If the leader cannot prove that he has the strength to win this war, then what is the need to go through fire and water for it and fight against the growing group of Eastern countries?

Whether you have strength or not, vernacular may work in the past. During the war, everything is based on fists. After the defeat of land and air power, if the U.S.navy that dominates the world is not useful, it will definitely not be a military defeat, but will shake the foundation of the United States. This is definitely not an exaggeration.

If the situation of the war fails and once conventional forces become jokes, can they still use nuclear weapons to unite people's hearts?

Of course not. Nuclear weapons that seem to destroy everything are extremely effective, but their actual combat effectiveness is extremely poor. Everyone knows that "strategic missiles on the launch frame are the most deterrent", that's what it means.

In short, the huge ship of war is moving forward. For the United States, if it wants to stabilize its position, it will inevitably require a victory that can stabilize people's hearts and boost morale.

Since looking at the world, the battle situation in the other two directions is in a stalemate, the United States neither has the ability to launch a large-scale attack in Western Europe nor the Middle East, nor can it guarantee that the land offensive will win (judging from the battle situation in the previous stage, this is simply impossible). As the main body and cornerstone of the US military's global deployment, the US Navy must shoulder this difficult responsibility and take the initiative to fight and win a battle!

This is the general trend in the world. A joint meeting of closed-door negotiations lasted for a long time before it ended.

As the commander-in-chief of the US military, he also had control over the extraordinary times during the war. In fact, just before this meeting, the third and seventh fleets under the Pacific Command had already begun to act and sent aircraft carrier battle groups to the depths of the vast ocean. He was preparing to carry out a long-sea attack operation intended to be invited to fight.

"Terror first and then report", or just walk the procedure, and when the formal resolution has not been made, u.s.navy's spearhead has already pointed at the Kamchatka Peninsula thousands of miles away, and gathered the generals and staff to discuss it. In fact, it is just a step for His Excellency the President to seek support and unify opinions. The real contest is already on the ship-based string, and a huge storm will soon be set off in the Pacific.

A storm is approaching, and facing the US military's ocean formation, the response from the other side of the ocean is also very fast.

The sky is getting brighter. Through the dark clouds all over the sky, under a vast gray sky. Near the frozen Far East coastline, close to the open sea of ​​Sakhalin Island, the continuous "crunching" sounds of fragmentation are spreading everywhere.

In the cold winter, on the sea that had just frozen, a large icebreaker that was all black and dark red below the waterline was running with all its strength, and his heavy body was moving forward. The bow of the ship hit the thick ice layer on the sea surface, rising high, and then fell down with the "click" sound of a large area of ​​thick ice cracking. Behind him, a large area of ​​floating ice was floating, with a wide waterway of floating ice, totaling more than 100 meters wide.

Since the beginning of winter, icebreakers have been sent to patrol the Tatar Strait every day, breaking the ice on the northern waterway near the port of Nikolayevsk, and unblocking the waterway continues to work, both to confuse and paralyze the Americans through satellite reconnaissance. On the other hand, in the past two days, part of the Red Navy Pacific Fleet berthed in the Soviet port will also travel from now on, using the screening of Sakhalin Island to head north, enter the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, which has not been covered by large ice, and then cross the Thousand Islands chain to enter the vast Pacific Ocean.

Just three or four days ago, after receiving important information from the KGB organization, two aircraft carrier battle groups of the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet left the port and headed deep into the ocean. The Red Empire's maritime war machines quickly started to operate. A formation composed of the 1164 missile cruiser "Tajik" was the leader. The formation of a shaped "Varyag" heavy-carrier cruiser and several escort ships quickly left the port and headed north along the dredged Tatar Strait.

The attack of the surface ship troops seemed to be huge, but it was just a small wave in the vast Far East.

Just after a secret combat meeting held in Irkutsk, the combat strategy of the Red Navy's Pacific Fleet was revised based on the results of the "battle deduction". Faced with the US Navy's ocean-going actions, a large number of combat ships, including "Tbilisi", entered the first-class combat readiness state. After receiving the order from the Fleet Command, they left the port one after another and launched deployment in the North Pacific.

Among them, the "Varyag", which was previously stationed in the Soviet port with the sister ship "Tbilisi", refueled the ship with fuel and replenished various materials before leaving first, and entered the Sea of ​​Okhotsk along the smooth route, where the escort warships arrived in Nikolayevsk were joined.

The ships that met at Okhotsk and formed a naval and air combat group with the "Varyag" were the 36th surface combat division of the Red Navy from the port of Nikolayevsk, including the 1164 missile cruiser Ukraine, the missile cruiser Tashkent and Tallinn, and the 956 missile destroyer Storm and Agility. In addition, there are the 44th anti-submarine combat brigade of the Red Navy who recently returned and dispatched again after a short rest, including four large anti-submarine ships of "Admiral Tribuz", "Marshal Saposhinkov", "Admiral Vinogradov", and "Admiral Pandeleev".

After leaving the port, we headed eastward and launched anti-submarine patrols in the planned convergence waters to welcome the heavy-carrying cruiser. The 155 oil and water supply ship "Ivan Buponov" and the fleet supply core, and the 1833 comprehensive supply ship "Berryjinhe" with a full load displacement of nearly 40,000 tons.

The surface ship lineup is strong, and the attack nuclear submarines under the sea will naturally take their place soon.

The convergence was completed in the predetermined waters, and the "Tajik" and other ships, which were responsible for the escort mission, returned one by one. The second sea and air combat group of the Red Navy organized with the "Ukraine" as its flagship, headed eastward, crossed the Kuril Islands and entered the Pacific Ocean.

Compared with the sister ship "Varyag", the situation of the "Tbilisi" is slightly more complicated.

Since its construction was relatively early, both design and use and maintenance are an exploration-like existence. The first full-deck heavy-duty cruiser of the Red Empire, the Red Empire, has been plagued by the bad state of the main engine recently. Although there is no problem in maintaining normal navigation, the output power of the crew is limited. After theoretical calculations, the maximum speed can only be maintained below twenty-four knots.

The war is imminent, and the Soviet port in the berth is obviously not in place. The Tbilisi can only carry out some maintenance work and leave the anchorage, and also head north along the Tatar Strait.

Two heavy-duty cruisers, one in front and the other behind, chose to enter the Pacific Ocean with a twisting northern waterway.

Although the relevant confidentiality work is very strict, the Americans are clear about this and do not need to conduct intelligence reconnaissance, because after the outbreak of the Far East War, with the assistance of the minion Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, several natural waterways in and out of the main home port of the Russian fleet were almost cut off.

For the Red Navy Pacific Fleet, Japan and South Korea are on both sides of the South Korean Strait, and the traffic conditions are very steep and basically a dead end.

Going further north, the Tsuga Strait and the Sogo Strait are both close to Japan's territory. They were originally under the control of the enemy. Although after the previous stage of the battle, the Hokkaido air defense hole was opened, and the surface ships of the sea also suffered enough to fire air-launched anti-ship missiles. The heavy losses of Jasdf and JMSDF have no power to fight back. The cunning Americans assigned Maritime Self-Defense Force submarines, and small ships were active in the two straits, laying a large number of mines in front and behind, almost blocking the west coast of Hokkaido.

The mines were in charge. Even if the minesweeper ship was sent to clean them up, the two waterways would not be able to pass in a short period of time. Although the Red Navy's warships could not get close, the Japanese who were forced to throw mines into their own sea were really put on one. Now, there is nothing to think about except for secretly scolding them over and over again.

Since ancient times, things like bridging have been a common means of blocking waters.

On the one hand, this behavior is that it costs less and takes effect quickly. The larger and more advanced the opponent's warships, the more afraid it is. It can achieve the intention to contain the situation at a very small cost, but it has almost no losses. But on the other hand, it is easy to throw away something like mines and difficult to catch up. It is one thing to lay it down easily during war. When the war is over, how to re-activate these important international waterways will become an extremely troublesome problem.

Of course, the Far East is fighting now. In order to block the polar bear warships in the small bay of the Sea of ​​Japan, what is it like to throw a little mine?

Once the war begins, any rules and bottom lines can be used to weigh the pros and cons.

Americans are very clear that if they really lose this comprehensive competition between the East and the West, they will be unreasonable. They will leave the Far East and retreat to the Western Hemisphere to eat and wait for death. They will let the mines go. Whoever loves to control them is not something the United States has to worry about anyway.

On the other hand, what if we can win?
