Dmitri's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. His face was filled with solemnity as he frowned and asked, "The warships of Sakura Country?"
"Haha, they dare to intercept?"
The soldier said nervously, "Yes, General."
"They dispatched two Self-Defense Force destroyers, and they are now in front of our fleet."
Dmitri sneered, "Interesting, have they discovered our army's intentions?"
"General, what about us?"
At this time, the adjutant next to him asked.
He looked at the soldiers and said in a cold voice, "Contact them using the radio."
"Tell them to get out of the way immediately, or they will bear the consequences!"
"Yes, General."
The adjutant next to him watched the soldiers leave before asking, "General, what if the enemy still occupies the waterway?"
"Do we make..."
Dmitri said with a fierce look, "This is the Pacific Ocean, not the Twelve Inland Seas of Sakura Country."
"If the other side doesn't listen to our advice, just let the battleship run them over."
"Uh... Got it, General."
At this time, the faces of the surrounding officers all showed solemn expressions and they were all worried.
They also guessed that war might break out this time.
......
at the same time.
Located in the Tokyo Self-Defense Force Headquarters Office in Sakura Country.
"Nakajima-kun, are you sure everything is alright?"
"The other side is the Pacific Fleet of the Bear Country. We only sent two destroyers. Will they be eaten by them?" The office director next to him said worriedly.
Nakajima Taro smiled and said, "Don't worry."
"Army Minister Kenji Nakamura told me that this time they are just trying to intimidate us and there will be no casualties."
"If our Sakura Country doesn't send warships, how will we gain a foothold in the international arena in the future?"
Everyone in the office hesitated before saying, "I'm worried that this time the Russians will dare to come straight to us within twelve nautical miles."
"They may have already made preparations, and even if war breaks out, they will not hesitate."
Nakajima Taro frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Could it be that the anger of the Bear Country this time was caused by us in the Sakura Country?"
The office director nodded and said, "It's very likely."
"Furthermore, considering the recent turmoil in the domestic stock market, the cabinet revoked the unusual stock market transactions a few days ago."
"Maybe they are coming for the cabinet."
Nakajima Taro frowned, his face becoming serious as he asked, "Are you saying that the Russians are serious this time?"
"Even, it will be..."
“Boom…boom!”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
At this moment, a staff member walked in anxiously.
"What's up?"
The staff member said anxiously: "Minister, this is not good."
"The destroyer we sent to intercept the Pacific Fleet of the Bear Country sent a telegram saying that the Bear Country demands to give up the shipping lane, otherwise it will bear the consequences."
"What?!"
Nakajima Taro's expression changed instantly. He said in shock, "Did the Bear Country really send such a warning?"
"Yes, Minister."
"Now the two destroyer captains are asking whether they should continue to occupy the waterway."
"They are now worried that the Bear Country might actually..."
Taro Nakajima showed hesitation on his face because the Army Minister Kenji Nakamura asked him to stop the Bear Country fleet from entering the Sakura Country waters.
However, he is now in a difficult situation and cannot afford to offend either party.
Nakajima Taro hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Tell them to continue occupying the waterway."
"I just can't believe that the Bear Country dares to act so brazenly."
"This is Sakura Country, and the US Seventh Fleet is right next to us. What are we afraid of?"
The office director next to him reminded worriedly: "Minister, are you sure?"
"This is like betting on the Bear Country..."
Nakajima Taro snorted coldly: "Humph! What are you afraid of?"
"The cabinet has also requested that the Russian fleet not be allowed to enter."
"If I order a retreat now, my position will probably be replaced."
"In this situation, even if we sacrifice two destroyers, it won't matter. Compared to my position, it's nothing."
At this time, the office director was silent. It was indeed the case.
If he were to be transferred from the warship now, his position might be lost, but if something went wrong with the warship, it would at most be considered improper command.
Now it is very clear what is more important, it is just a matter of sacrificing some people.
The office director nodded and sighed, "General, I understand."
...
The other side.
Located on two destroyers dispatched to the Pacific Ocean.
At this time, the two captains looked solemnly as they looked at the documents sent from the Tokyo Self-Defense Force Headquarters.
The two looked at each other and sighed deeply.
"Kiyama-kun, what do you think?"
"Letting us continue to occupy the waterway now would be tantamount to committing suicide."
"Matsushita-kun, it's clear now."
"The Self-Defense Force headquarters in Tokyo will definitely not let us retreat."
"This is not only the Self-Defense Forces' duty to defend national security, but also about protecting the country's reputation internationally."
Kitayama Musashi fell silent and murmured, "Are we just going to accept our fate?"
"Right now..."
Matsushita Hamano quickly interrupted, "Kitayama-kun, don't give orders."
"Don't you know that there are some things you can just keep to yourself, and some things you can't say?"
