Chapter 290 Super High

Alaska, across the Bering Strait, faces the Soviet Union's Far East. Historically, this place was originally Russian land. Unfortunately, because it was difficult to manage, it was sold to the United States at a low price and has since become an enclave of the United States.

Alaska is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so fishing is a natural choice. It can be said to be the top fishing state in the United States, and its fishing output accounts for more than half of the total output in the United States. Many tourists come here to taste the seafood here, such as pink salmon, white cod and super-large "king crabs".

The administrators of the state of Alaska are also aware of the importance of protecting the environment. Since Alaska officially became a state of the United States, the state constitution has included provisions for the protection of fish: "The utilization and development of fish must be carried out in accordance with the principle of sustainable development and the growth of fish must be maintained." Alaska has established more than 40 marine protected areas, 31 of which prohibit any commercial fishing or the use of deep-sea fishing gear.

Moreover, since the 1970s, the "limited access" policy has been implemented, which limits the issuance of fishing licenses. It also stipulates that the period for catching salmon is only 3 months, and large fishing tools such as trawls are prohibited. This greatly limits the catch, and overfishing has never occurred. In this era, Alaska's practices are quite advanced and effectively guarantee fishery resources.

However, for fishermen, fishing for only a few months each year is definitely not worth the investment in fishing boats. Therefore, fishermen in Alaska often venture into the deep ocean to fish. Fishing is not allowed in the waters near Alaska, but there must be no restrictions in the deep Pacific, right?

In order to protect themselves, they always went fishing in the deep sea in the form of a fleet. This time, following a stream of fish, they came to the southern Kuril Islands. Just as they cast their fishing nets and caught a large number of sea fish and were cheering, the storm came.

Fishing boats cannot compare with warships. The waves sank a fishing boat and several fishing boats were damaged. When they were struggling on the sea, finally, rescuers came!

As a military supported by taxpayers, it must serve taxpayers! Since the US aircraft carrier fleet found its own fishing boats in danger, it had to stop and launch helicopters to help search and rescue the fishermen who fell into the water, and also took the fishermen on the damaged fishing boats to the aircraft carriers for temporary placement.

What about the Soviet fleet? The E-2 early warning aircraft searched for several hours but found nothing.

The US Navy worked in vain. They didn't know that the Soviet Union was just fooling them, just pretending when the satellite passed by, and the Soviets had no intention of repeating the same trick!

Only a fool would go so far and take such a big circle to land. Without naval escort, the casualties of landing in Tokyo Bay would be something the Soviet Union could not afford!

Standing on the land of Hakodate, Andre felt complicated at this moment.

The entire Hokkaido has been hoisted with the sickle and hammer flags, and we have occupied the entire Hokkaido!

Only less than 10,000 troops of the island nation in Hokkaido escaped, and the rest were either killed or captured!

At the final stage, the Soviet air force was dispatched to block the islanders' escape. Seeing that escape was hopeless, most of the islanders chose to surrender.

The Soviet army's ability to quickly advance to the southern part of Hokkaido and occupy Hakodate was inseparable from the help of the Chi Army. Over the past six months, the Chi Army has Chined many of the residents here. The residents had no aversion or resistance to the arrival of the Soviet army. Some even provided assistance to the Soviet Union, guiding them on the route and helping them chase the fleeing army.

Just like that, after three days of fierce fighting, on April 13, 1978, the Soviets had occupied the entire Hokkaido! This was a victory worth celebrating!

It was the islanders who took the initiative to initiate the war, and it was also the islanders who ultimately suffered the fate of failure!

However, the battle is not over yet, and Andre's appetite is for the entire island country!

Next, it was time for the Chi Army to play a greater role! Andre had high hopes for this.

Yokota Air Base.

"Damn, are these Japanese people's brains filled with water?" Major General Kobe, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, couldn't help but think angrily as he looked at the road ahead being surrounded by Japanese people who were preventing their tanks from passing.

The Soviets have occupied the entire Hokkaido! However, the news from the Seventh Fleet at sea disappointed them. After careful searching, they confirmed that there was no sign of the Soviet fleet attacking from the sea. The US satellites also scanned the entire sea area and confirmed the news.

We were fooled by the Soviets again! The huge naval force did nothing except saving an Alaskan fishing fleet!

The Seventh Fleet was returning quickly. At the same time, the First Cavalry Division stationed at Yokota Base also needed to move north. Since the Soviets had no plan to attack from the sea, they would definitely cross the sea from Hakodate! The shortest part of the Tsugaru Strait is only 18 kilometers! If the Soviets landed across the sea, the island nation's frightened Ground Self-Defense Force would not be able to defend it at all!

Therefore, the combat mission of the 1st Cavalry Division changed from defending Tokyo Bay and providing the first round of counterattacks when the Soviets attacked, to heading north to help the island nation's Ground Self-Defense Force defend the southern part of the Tsugaru Strait and prevent the Soviets from landing across the sea!

They were urgently pulled out of the military camp, but were stopped by the Japanese before they had walked two kilometers, which made Major General Kobe extremely angry.

"Hey, get out of the way, you nasty guys!" At the front of the team was a US military jeep leading the way, followed by M1 tanks carried by tractors.

The American soldier was very angry. Holding the M16 rifle in his hand, he shouted at the Japanese people surrounding him.

"No, you can't pass. You violated our road regulations." These islanders had white cloths tied on their heads. They angrily said to the Americans here: "Your vehicles are overweight and cannot be driven on our roads!"

There are regulations in the island country. Even their own Type 74 tanks, when transported by trailers, must be transported with the turret removed because they are overweight and separated by two trailers! And now, the American M1 tanks exceed the road regulations! The island country's self-defense forces often drive tanks directly, and are not subject to the local government's bullying!
