Volume 7 The Smoke on the Peninsula Chapter 9 The Difficult Situation
After Juntani Kirihiro's report, Takano Nazhi immediately went to the Prime Minister's Office to report the situation to the village...!
He did not bring Taniki Ryohei, because this young man who shined in Bangkok was already eye-catching enough. He not only became the leader of Japan's National Intelligence Bureau, but also received and commended by the Prime Minister. He was wary of anyone who posed a threat.
When he saw Sadashi Murakami, Natsuko Takano first introduced the situation.
When North Korea was discovered to have been conducting military mobilization, Murakami called Takano Nazhi to inquire about the specific situation. On the grounds that it was under investigation, Takano Nazhi did not report to the Prime Minister immediately. It was not that Takano Nazhi didn't know what happened, but did not want to report to the Prime Minister before really grasping the situation. Last year, the convoy of South Korean President Yoo Sung-chun was attacked by a bomb on his way to Busan. Takano Nazhi was smart and patted his chest to ensure that Yoo Sung-chun was killed before receiving the exact information. As a result, it was confirmed that the ones who were killed were Yoo Sung-chun's secretary and two bodyguards. Because of a very important meeting, Yoo Sung-chun temporarily canceled his inspection work to Busan and changed the route to Seoul.
“That is, this is not a separate incident.”
Seeing the Prime Minister frowning, Takano Natsuki didn't say much.
Sadashi Murakami glanced at the sofa opposite and let Takano Natsuko sit down.
Compared with three years ago, Sadashi Murakami not only got much older, with white hair on his head, more obvious wrinkles, and obviously much haggard, and no longer as confident as before.
Faced with the difficulties in reality, Sadashi Murakami had to "down" her head.
After the Dokdo War (called Takeshima War in Japan), Japan did not gain any benefit from it except for regaining two islands.
Faced with an increasingly isolated international environment, Sadashi Murakami could only go on his own.
At that time, Sasashi Murakami placed Japan's hope of returning to the international community completely on "strategic deterrence capability". According to Sasashi Murakami's idea, as long as Japan has strategic deterrence capability and its status as a nuclear power will be recognized. The international community will accept Japan again and give Japan the status of a major power.
Murakami Sasaki's idea is not a problem. The problem is that Japan has encountered a problem of willpower that cannot be solved.
Because of the natural design defects, the development of zx-11 submarine-launched ballistic missiles will be terminated by the end of 2022. The development plan of zx-2 submarine-launched ballistic missiles is officially launched.
Going to this point, Japan encountered an insurmountable obstacle.
Under normal circumstances, any country will first develop submarine-launched ballistic missiles. At least determine the basic size and weight data of the submarine-launched ballistic missile. Then, based on this, carry out strategic nuclear submarine-launched ballistic missile ground design work. The Japanese submarine-launched ballistic missile ground design is completely the same. Before the zx-2 was launched, it used the acquisition of some "Trident" d5 submarine-launched ballistic missile ground size and weight data from the Alamos Laboratory to determine the basic data of the strategic nuclear submarine-launched ballistic missile ground. Construction of two strategic nuclear submarines was started.
"So high) far" can describe Japan's approach very appropriately.
The United States has successively developed the "Polaris" a11, a2, a3, "Sea God" c33, "Trident"| (also known as "Trident" c4), etc., with a total of 5 submarine-launched ballistic missiles, accumulated rich experience and technology, and finally developed the powerful "Trident" d5.
Is it possible that Japan wants to become fat in one go?
2 Strategic nuclear submarines were put into service before the end of 2023, but they could only carry torpedoes and submarine-launched anti-ship missiles with a range of less than 300 kilometers. They were not equipped with 8 z-11 cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads until June 2024, and have not been equipped with submarine-launched ballistic missiles so far.
Japanese missile engineers had to develop submarine-launched ballistic missiles within the already determined data range.
It is not impossible to do it, because the "Sea God" c3 and "Trident" c4 were developed with the basic determination of the launch cylinder size data. The problem is that Japan has not accumulated any technology, and has not even solved several key issues that submarine-launched ballistic missiles must face.
The first test shot of zx-2 was held in early March 2023, and by the end of September 2024, all of them failed.
For Japan, which is eager to gain "major power status", the failure of zx-2's continuous test shots will only make the prospects dimmer and dimmer.
Although Japan announced its strategic nuclear threat capability in June 2024, no country believed in Japan's statement because the ballistic missile test launch has no confidentiality. Success is success, and failure is failure. Until Japan has the first submarine-launched ballistic missile, no country will recognize Japan's identity as a nuclear power.
According to Japanese engineers' estimates, the development time of zx-2 will be extended by 3 years.
The actual situation may be even worse. In an investigation report commissioned by the government, the United States Lande mentioned that Japan's submarine-launched ballistic missile development will be more than one, and it would be a miracle to be able to obtain practical deployment capabilities before the end of 2033.
Can Japan get such plenty of time?
South Korea's local military expansion plan will be completed by June 2025 at the latest. If the situation on the Korean Peninsula is stable, Liu Zongchun is likely to point his finger at Japan and test the combat capabilities of the South Korean team by regaining Dokdo.
If you fight another Dokdo War, Japan will not win too easily and may even suffer a crushing defeat.
South Korea purchased nearly 200 advanced fighter jets and 6 E-11 large early warning aircraft from the United States from the mainland, and obtained free cruisers including the Ticonderoga class and the 6 "Alei Burke"
, 60f-15k fighter jets, 120f-16c/d fighter jets, produced several fighter jets in the mainland, including f-35k and f-32k (light fighter jets developed and specially used for exports based on the yf-32) on its own.
Over the past three years, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the air force, South Korea has sent thousands of pilots to the United States for training.
All Liu Zongchun's work is preparing for the war.
Perhaps, there is nothing scary about just one South Korea.
If South Korea takes the initiative to provoke a war, the United States will not help.
What really scares Murakami Sadashi is China across the sea.
At the end of 2022, China conducted the first practical test of the aerial laser interception system in the northwest region, verifying the effectiveness and practical prospects of the "air-based strategic defense system".
Although all intelligence agencies, including the National Intelligence Department, concluded that China could not establish a national strategic defense system that could cope with the threat of Japan's ballistic missiles in just a few years, Murakami Sadaki understood two things at this time: one is why China did not take advantage of the Dokdo War to attack Japan, and the other is that China will never continue to tolerate it.
It is precisely because of the fear of Japan's nuclear threat that China has endured it again and again in 20211 and did not take action.
If the Dokdo War breaks out again, China will definitely find ways to create reasons for joining the war, take the opportunity to win over South Korea, destroy Japan's nuclear deterrence capabilities, and achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.
The problem returns to the origin.
If Japan has real strategic deterrence capabilities, even if China gains national strategic defense capabilities, it will be because the United States, Russia and other countries are worried that Japan will adopt a "nuclear binding" policy, put pressure on China, and even threaten to start a war with China, forcing China to give up the idea of destroying Japan's nuclear power.
This shows how important the submarine-launched ballistic missiles are to Japan's national security.
North Korea suddenly mobilized its troops, and the situation on the peninsula suddenly became tense.
When the Peninsula War broke out and China sent troops, the United States would not work for South Korea. With China's full participation, it is likely to "sack halfway". Survival is threatened, and no matter whether Liu Zongchun is a "unified faction" or a "expansion faction", they will try every means to seek assistance. At that time, even if Sadashi Murakami is very rational and knows that participating in the war is not good for Japan, the soldiers led by Katsushi Tokiya will drag Japan into the war with the reasons of "taking the opportunity to enter the Korean Peninsula" and "returning to the Asian continent". As long as the Japanese army set foot on the Korean Peninsula, is there any reason China will use force against Japan?
To this point, not only South Korea but also Japan are facing the test of life and death.
This is why Sadashi Murakami was frowning.
After pondering for a while, Murakami Satoshi said, "From the current situation, North Korea's military mobilization has not only not put pressure on South Korea, but has eased the tension on the peninsula.
why is that?"
"Maybe Kim Cheolan thinks that China is plotting to overthrow the North Korean regime."
Sadashi Murakami frowned slightly, not denying Takano Nachi's statement.
There is indeed such a possibility. China is using peaceful means to "transform" North Korea. When the time is ripe, it will naturally drive away the "Kim family" and let North Korea "change the dynasty".
Seeing that Sadashi Murakami was silent again, Takano Natsuki was a little late and said with courage: "Your Excellency, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us."
“What opportunity?”
Nachi Takano was stunned and said with a thorn in his teeth, "North Korea actively alienated China, which can only make Liu Zongchun think that the time to unify North Korea is ripe. If we take this opportunity to improve relations with South Korea, take advantage of South Korea's desire to complete the mentality of unification and the United States' strategic deployment to fully restrain China, we can successfully land on the Korean Peninsula and lay the foundation for entering the Asian continent!"
Sadashi Murakami smiled coldly and did not express any opinions.
It can be said that Takano Nachi's idea represents the ideas of all soldiers, even all Japanese.
With nuclear weapons, the Japanese ambitions expanded rapidly. Little did they know that nuclear weapons were just weapons that threaten the enemy, not weapons of war. More importantly, with the development of technology, nuclear weapons not only have weaker and weaker deterrent effects, but also become the root of self-destruction!
"Prime Minister..."
"What do you think should be done?" Sadashi Murakami threw the problem outright.
"Through the United States and South Korea's contact, making concessions in the negotiations on the ownership of Dokdo, Yoo So-kum temporarily gave up his sovereignty over Dokdo and turned his finger to the north." Takano Nazhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if we are not in a hurry to land on the Korean Peninsula, we must take this opportunity to improve relations with South Korea and change the situation of the Great Japanese Empire."
Sadashi Murakami nodded slightly, affirmed Takano Natoshi's thoughts, and said: "It is indeed the case. This is an excellent opportunity for us to improve the surrounding environment. I will give me a detailed report as soon as possible and have a secret contact with the US intelligence agencies, implying that we have possessed secret intelligence related to North Korea's nuclear weapons and test South Korea's attitude through the United States."
Takano Nazhi immediately nodded and agreed.
For other arrangements, Sadashi Murakami did not tell the National Intelligence Department because Natsuko Takano didn't have much political talent.
