Volume 3 The Storm in the East China Sea Chapter 94 The Country of Chameleons
The second round of conflict between the Sino-Japanese East China Sea dispute, known as the "Six Planet Wars", tt. Most Western European countries are from 8 to 9 pm on the 27th, and the eastern United States is from 3 pm on the 27th, so Western media have made relevant reports as fast as possible.
At 17:00 ET on the 27th, the US government, which had been silent before, revealed the latest news to the news media
News media, which are good at catching the wind and shadow, not only used the "war situation" revealed by the US government to exaggerate China's sabotage of the ceasefire agreement, completely disregarding international morality and deliberately provoked the second round of military conflicts, threatening world peace and stability, but also used subtle changes in the US government's attitude to promote the importance of the United States. The impact of the "US-Japan alliance" on the Sino-Japanese conflict has a great tendency to send troops to "save" Japan, which is on the verge of life and death.
The actual situation is not only not similar to the "voice" of the media, but also completely opposite.
Learning that China and Japan have once again had a military conflict, Roddick ended his State of the Union address early and left Congress early. He immediately canceled the election program planning meeting scheduled for the evening
After the president returned to the White House, the Secretary of State and other important aides rushed over one after another.
In just 10 minutes, the National Security Administration received satellite reconnaissance photos, confirming the information obtained by CIA. China and Japan once again broke out in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea.
Roddick couldn't believe the facts. The smart US president not only thought of the consequences, but also realized the problem.
After a brief consultation, Admiral Sallivan, chairman of the Joint Conference, revealed a news that shocked the president and other staff members: Japan obtained the combat plan outline number 1178 from the US Pacific Theater Command as a "military allies" on the 22nd.
After figuring out the main content of this combat plan, Rodick had to suspect that someone deliberately leaked intelligence to Japan.
The combat plan No. 1178 is also aimed at China, but not at the Sino-Japanese War, but another war that is likely to break out. The combat plan was first proposed by the Seventh Fleet in the early 1990s. The strike action taken by the Seventh Fleet after the outbreak of the Taiwan Strait War was the main target of the attacks. After the establishment of the Chinese Navy and Air Force Pacific Command, the plan was upgraded to a theater combat plan. Adjustments were made every 35 years based on the development of China-** forces. The combat plan was a top secret document.
Sallivan is innocent because the combat plan was not leaked from him, and he just received the news.
Rodick ordered F to intervene in the investigation and discuss countermeasures with his staff
When predicting the results of the second round of military conflict, civilian staff members do not understand the military and believe that Japan will lose or lose completely.
Operational Plan No. 1178 is based entirely on the combat capabilities of the US military and local areas, especially the strong air strike capabilities of the US military. Japan is good at "specialized defense". It lacks air strike capabilities, and it cannot be compared with the US military. If Japan launches a surprise attack according to Operational Plan No. 1178, it will not only fail to achieve the ideal effect, but will also be fully counterattacked by China.
Roddick is no exception. Not only does he hope that Japan will lose, but he hopes that Japan will lose faster, the better.
If Japan "deep strike" part of the bombing of China's local targets in accordance with the combat plan No. 1178, China will launch at least a counterattack on the same scale and even bombard Japan's local non-military strategic targets in the way it attacked India a year ago.
China will also be affected by the economic crisis, but it is much better than us. As long as China continues to implement industrial structure adjustments during the economic crisis, it will be the first to recover.”
"What's the result?"
"The result..." Eric breathed a sigh of relief, "That prophecy that the '19th century was the British century, the 20th century was the American century, and the 21st century was the Chinese century' will become a reality. China will surpass us before the end of the economic crisis and become the world's number one power in the post-economic crisis era."
Rodick nodded slightly, "So, how can we avoid such an outcome?"
Several staff members avoided the president's gaze, and Eric also avoided the problem by pushing his glasses.
"Lynch, tell me what you think." The president threw the problem directly to the Secretary of State
"I still stick to the previous point of view, and directly confronting China is not worth the cost. In addition to ensuring the victory of the general election and ensuring policy coherence, all we can do is prepare for the upcoming economic crisis."
Rodick nodded and turned his eyes to Eric "Mr. Security Consultant, what about your opinion?"
"Appropriate support for Japan will also help us to survive the economic crisis." Eric's attitude became much weaker. "Even if we consider the future, a strong Japan can become a helper to deal with China. After the economic crisis breaks out, we can still use Japanese capital and the Japanese market."
"Is this necessary to do with whether Japan defeats China?"
Eric hesitated for a moment and shook his head
"Since that's the case, why should we help Japan defeat China at all costs?" Rodick sighed and said, "As long as China does not attack Japan's mainland, we do not need to fight for Japan. One thing we should understand is that Japan depends on us, not on Japan's second round of military conflicts, which was initiated by Japan. Although we will not announce the news to the outside world in this way, we should be clear that Japan's crazy actions not only cause us a dilemma, but may also make us a shield for Japan. No matter what, Japan is our shield, and it is definitely necessary for us to take Jiji for Japan's fire to aid Japan, but it is not now."
The president's attitude is firm and his views are clear
After the argument ended, Roddick asked other officials to leave the Oval Office after leaving Lynch
"Eric is a national security consultant and has always been extreme, don't mind."
Hearing the president's "comfort", Lynch wanted to laugh a little about it when he met Eric, Rodick had not moved into the White House yet.
"I canceled the evening meeting and prepared to meet some important guests." Roddick took out the cigar in the sandalwood box. "You personally contacted well-known figures in the financial and business circles. The number should not be too large. It should be controlled within one hundred. Invited them to attend the banquet in the name of hosting representatives of the financial and business circles in the White House."
"Tonight?" Lynch immediately frowned. It was already evening now.
"Yes, now!" Roddick nodded, "The banquet starts at 10:30 pm, and those people have private jets, and even if they live on the West Coast, it's time to do so."
"I'll contact you right away"
"Remember to contact the airport and make relevant arrangements"
Leaving the White House, Lynch called the big names in the American financial business world
