Volume 6 The Situation of War Chapter 55 Cold Encounter
Ben suddenly launched a war, and the United States was also frustrated.
When the war broke out, it was the night of the 2nd Eastern Time. Frederick had just had supper and was listening to Leslie's state work report. The sudden arrival of Sandero disrupted the work of the president and the secretary of state.
In the next few hours, Sandero turned the Oval Study into the Office of Director Cia.
Although the US military did not participate in the war, the US reconnaissance planes stationed in South Korea rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible and began to collect electronic information from both sides of the war.
This is the strength of the US military, and its reaction speed is even higher than that of both sides in war.
Information was coming continuously, and the three Americans in the Oval Study even knew more about the battle situation than the front-line commanders of both sides!
Although Frederick, Leslie and Sandero are not soldiers, all three of them saw the problem.
The South Korean team used tactics against North Korea to deal with Japan, and the result can be imagined. Strictly speaking, the South Korean team did not make any mistakes, but they were wrongly abiding by the "dogma" of the US military. From the day of its birth, the South Korean team was a "student" of the US military, not only imitating the US military in organization, but also fully learning the US military in tactics. After the outbreak of the war, the South Korean Air Force's rapid counterattack was completely formulated against North Korea's sudden attack on the 38th parallel, rather than tactics formulated against opponents like Japan with strong air power!
Japan's tactics are very compact and flexible.
Strictly speaking, Japan also adopted the US military's air assault tactics, and air defense operations and sea strikes are exactly the same as those of the US military's local tactics. The difference is that Japan has made full use of its geographical advantages and the first two rounds of combat operations are very good in connection, even surpassing the US military.
I have to say that Japan is a better "student".
It was around 2 a.m. Eastern Time. Frederick, Leslie and Sandero breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, Frederick spoke with South Korean President Park Tae-hyun on a hotline. He said that the United States will do its best to defend South Korea's territory and sovereignty and fulfill its obligations and responsibilities in the alliance. Park Tae-hyun clearly stated that the United States must formally terminate its alliance with Japan and send troops to help South Korea regain Dokdo.
At the end of the conversation, Frederick made no statement.
The termination of alliances with Japan is nothing. Because Japan initiated a war on its own initiative and violated the US-Japan alliance treaty. The United States only needs one statement to break away from relations with Japan.
The key is to send troops to the battlefield.
When talking about defending South Korea's territory and sovereignty, Frederick hinted that Park Tae-hyun only sent troops when the recognized South Korean territory and sovereignty are invaded. Because the United States has not expressed any official attitude towards the sovereignty of Dokdo (Baoshima), the United States will not send troops to help South Korea on the Dokdo issue.
The problem is that Park Tae-hyun doesn't care about this at all.
After talking to Park Tae-hyun, Frederick asked Sandero to monitor Japan's military operations in accordance with the "committed obligation", collect battlefield information, and provide intelligence assistance to South Korea.
Leslie alone, Frederick failed to get any useful advice.
The United States can take fewer measures at this time than the Republic, to terminate the U.S.-Japan alliance, provide military assistance to South Korea, and send its fleet to the Western Pacific. Apart from these, even Leslie didn't know what could make South Korea feel better. The problem is that other actions could not satisfy South Korea's "appetite".
Due to geographical restrictions, the United States responded very "slowly".
At 16:25 Beijing time (3:25 Eastern Time), Republican Foreign Minister Huang Guowei issued a diplomatic statement, strongly condemning Japan's military operations without declaring, occupying South Korean territory, and undermining stability and peace in Northeast Asia; and strongly demanded that Japan immediately stop all military operations, withdraw its troops to the location before the outbreak of the war, and resolve disputes in a peaceful manner.
There are only two key points: one is "invasion" and the other is "before the war breaks out."
The former shows that the Republic recognizes Dokdo as South Korean territory, while the latter shows that it is not enough to just stop military operations!
After the statement was issued, Huang Guowei met with the South Korean ambassador who came to the scene.
Just half an hour later, Japanese Foreign Minister Na Ke Zhumo issued a diplomatic statement, strongly condemning China's interference in Japan's internal affairs, demanding that China abide by international principles and international order, and not point fingers at Japan's military actions to defend territorial integrity and sovereignty dignity, and not attempt to prevent Japan from regaining its lost territory.
A diplomatic statement is just a verbal battle, and it cannot explain anything.
Although the South Korean ambassador went to the Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs with beautiful hopes, Huang Guowei's reply was very disappointed.
Without alliance relations, the Republic can only give South Korea diplomatic and moral support.
No gains in diplomacy do not mean no gains in other aspects.
When the South Korean ambassador went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the intelligence counselor of the South Korean embassy and Cao Xuehua, a senior official of the Military Intelligence Bureau, secretly met at the Cathay Pacific Hotel in Beijing.
Compared with diplomatic officials, intelligence officials have a much more "candid" attitude.
Within half an hour, the two sides reached a consensus on the most important issue. South Korea shared with the Republic
The Republic provided information about Japan to mobilize and deploy Japanese aviation forces to South Korea during the war.
Compared with diplomatic promises, intelligence transactions are more realistic. Even though Zhao Rundong made the decision to provide military intelligence to South Korea, the Military Intelligence Bureau still required South Korea to exchange with equal intelligence during the actual operation. There is no free lunch in the world, and this is even more so in the intelligence community.
While conducting intelligence transactions with South Korea, Liu Xiaobin personally found the intelligence counselor of the North Korean Embassy in the Republic and asked North Korea to open an air passage to the Sea of Japan to the Republic's military aircraft, providing all conveniences for Republic intelligence personnel to set up information transfer stations and information interception centers in Kiyoto, Kimseok, Shinpu, Shinjima, Takaho and other places. The Republic will promptly provide North Korea with the progress of the war and share battlefield information with North Korea.
North Korea, which is in the "honeymoon period" with the Republic, did not refuse and agreed very readily.
South Korea did not place its hopes entirely on the Republic. After Park Tae-hyun and Frederick spoke on the hotline, they immediately arranged intelligence personnel to contact the intelligence counselor of the US Embassy (actually a spy who was Cia) and asked to obtain information related to Japan's military deployment as soon as possible.
Learning that the Republic was willing to provide military intelligence, Park Tae-hyun immediately spoke to the hotline with Cho Rundong.
The two chatted on the phone very "speculatively". Park Tae-hyun first thanked the Republic for its diplomatic support for South Korea's position and provided local diplomatic support. He hoped that the Republic could give South Korea more support; Zhao Rundong said that the Republic has always insisted on resolving all contradictions in the mainland with all neighboring countries, including territorial and territorial waters, with all neighboring countries, including South Korea, through peaceful negotiations. The Republic will support South Korea's efforts in defending its territory and territorial waters as a friendly neighbor. He hopes that South Korea can end its military operations as soon as possible and restore regional peace and stability. For this reason, the Republic will do its best to provide South Korea with assistance, including military intelligence, without interfering in other countries' internal affairs.
Obviously, there is still no free lunch in the world.
After agreeing to provide assistance to South Korea, Zhao Rundong proposed to negotiate with South Korea to resolve territorial and territorial waters disputes.
Regardless of whether Park Tae-hyun heard this or not, the Republic will not "take chestnuts from the fire" for South Korea for no reason.
After the outbreak of the war, South Korea's first round of diplomatic activities had little results.
South Korea’s experience in the diplomatic field reflects the serious problems in South Korea’s foreign policy and national strategy. Relying on the United States not only greatly reduces South Korea’s national defense strength, but also makes South Korea lack its own voice on the international stage, thus not being valued by other countries.
Perhaps, South Korea can remember this lesson.
On the morning of the 3rd, the South Korean chief representative to the United Nations first strongly condemned Japan's aggression at the UN General Assembly, and then proposed a proposal to sanction Japan to the Security Council. Although the sanctions will not have any effect, because the Security Council has imposed comprehensive sanctions on Japan on the nuclear issue, the first time South Korea has carried out diplomatic actions at the UN General Assembly and the Security Council without consultation with the United States is a major progress.
Subsequently, US President Frederick held a press conference in person at the White House to announce the termination of alliance with Japan.
Because the US-Japan Alliance Treaty clearly stipulates that Japan shall not launch foreign military operations without the consent of the United States. If Japan violates it, it will be deemed to be automatically terminated. Therefore, Frederick's decision does not need to be reviewed and approved by Congress.
Although the US president's statement is "shocking", it actually makes no sense.
As early as after Japan conducted its first underground nuclear test, the United States announced that it would temporarily stop the implementation of the alliance treaty signed with Japan, which was equivalent to shelving the alliance relations. Even if the formal termination of the alliance relations has a much greater impact, it would not be able to fundamentally stop Japan's military operations, and it would be even less likely to withdraw Japan's troops from Dokdo. Although according to South Korea, the United States' move has created conditions for launching military strikes on Japan in the future, the United States has not prepared for war at all, and it is even more impossible to launch a war against a country with nuclear weapons before understanding the situation.
Until the morning, as the Republic and the United States expressed their attitude, mainstream media from all over the world made detailed reports.
Almost all media believe that the conflict between Japan and South Korea and Dokdo is just a regional conflict with a very limited scale and limited impact. Regardless of the result, it will not have too much impact on the already turbulent situation in Northeast Asia, and will not involve the two most powerful countries in the war.
Compared with the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the East China Sea War, and the Iran War, the news media do not "value" the Japanese-South Korea conflict.
In the eyes of the news media, as long as the United States and China are not involved in the war, the conflict between Japan and South Korea will be a "child's house play" game.
For Japan, this is a good thing; for Korea, this is a bad thing!
