Chapter 296 No Compromise

"This is a tragedy. We are actively discussing countermeasures. We, the United States, have always been very tolerant of our allies. However, we are also calling on everyone to see the situation clearly. The island country's chi army personnel have mixed into the marching crowd. They have already rushed into the Prime Minister's Office. Our troops are also trying to rescue Ohira Masayoshi and others who are detained in the Prime Minister's Office as soon as possible. The situation in the island country is so chaotic. We must maintain the stability of the island country!" President Carter stood in front of the microphone, facing the swarm of reporters, and maintained his usual attitude.

"As far as I know, the tanks rushed in first and used machine guns to shoot at the people. May I ask, according to the US-Japan Security Act, does the US military have the authority to do this?"

"Our Mr. Albert was crushed to death by a tank. Can American tank soldiers run rampant in Tokyo?"

Carter, the spokesperson, was overwhelmed by the questions that came one after another. Just as he was about to answer, he noticed an unidentified object suddenly flying towards him.

"Bang!" A shoe flew from behind and hit Carter's forehead exactly. The agents behind him rushed up and protected President Carter as he retreated.

"Hegemonism, hegemonism! Americans, get out of the island country!" The person who just threw the shoes was a reporter from the island country. Now, he was being dragged out by two agents. Even so, he was still shouting loudly, Americans, get out!

President Carter, with an embarrassed look on his face, returned to the Oval Office. Just now, he had volunteered to face the reporters. It was good for him to come back like this, at least he didn't have to answer those difficult questions.

"Major General Field of the 1st Cavalry Division was killed and was temporarily replaced by Kobe. Kobe had a history of killing Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. This time, he made a big mistake," said Defense Secretary Harold.

It's all Kobe's fault. At this time, he actually created such a sensational event! How can the United States back down? He drove a tank into the city of Tokyo and directly crushed more than a hundred people. This guy deserves to go to hell!

"In order to calm the anger of the islanders, we must bring Kobe back for questioning." Secretary of State Warren said: "In the military court, he must be sentenced to at least 20 years in prison. After this incident is settled, he can be brought out again."

Now, the islanders are angry, and the consequences are serious. The islanders, who have always been enslaved and resigned to their fate, are shouting slogans everywhere, demanding that the Americans get out. Moreover, the image of the United States around the world has instantly deteriorated.

In Europe, Britain did not say anything. Public opinion in other countries was in support of the island country. However, France, a traitor in the Western camp, actually publicly declared that the United States had made a serious mistake in the island country and that the United States was not worthy of leading the entire Western world. It also said that it was European affairs and that Europeans should make their own decisions!

Carter was very depressed. There had been no good news since he took office. The domestic economy was in a mess, and he was strategically under great pressure from the Soviet Union. Now, even his allies began to lose trust in him!

"No, I don't agree." National Security Advisor Brzezinski said: "The Tokyo incident is obviously a trap. It was the Soviet-backed Chi Army that instigated the islanders to fight against us. Now, not only can we not convict Kobe, but we must also give Kobe higher power. We must launch our military control on the island!"

All of this smells too much of conspiracy. The conflict between the U.S. troops stationed in Japan and the island nation, which had been peaceful, has intensified. It is entirely the Chi Army who is instigating it behind the scenes! Now, Kobe is using strong means to help the island government quell the rebellion. What is wrong with that?

Brzezinski's words stunned everyone. Wouldn't this provoke even more serious resistance from the island country?

"Everyone, the islanders have always had a strong slave mentality. We have occupied the island country for so many years. No matter what happens, don't the islanders listen to us obediently? This incident is a head-on confrontation between us and the island country's chi army. They want to drive us away! If we bow our heads, they will continue to incite the people to make us leave the island country! We must use strong measures! Those who were crushed to death were not ordinary people of the island country, they were chi army, the rioters! We did nothing wrong! If the islanders dare to do this again, then our tanks will continue to crush them!" Brzezinski's eyes were fanatical: "As long as the islanders know With our attitude, they will immediately calm down! Only the Chi Army is left, and they can't make any waves! Now, the main force of the Chi Army has been surrounded by us in Tokyo and the Prime Minister's Office! We will continue to launch attacks and eliminate all the backbones of the Chi Army! These voices against us will stop immediately! If we don't do this, then under the encouragement of the Chi Army, we will not be able to gain a foothold in the island country, and we will completely withdraw from the island country. At that time, our East Asian strategy will be over, and the island country controlled by the Chi Army will definitely turn to the Soviet Union, and our Hawaii will be threatened at any time!"

The islanders are a bunch of cowards, they only admire the strong! If the United States shows cowardice, then the island countries will ride on the head of the United States. At this time, there can be no compromise!

Now is an opportunity to let the islanders know that it was the United States that dropped nuclear bombs on your heads before, and it is also the United States that is crushing the rebels on the streets of Tokyo now! The United States is your ruler, and you have no other choice but to obey!

The United States wants to establish its authority, and it uses the Tokyo incident to establish its authority. Otherwise, those islanders who jump up will drive the United States out of the island country! After losing Hokkaido and then the entire island country, what will the United States have left in its East Asian strategy?

The United States has no way to retreat. Now, outside the various bases, there are constant demonstrations and conflicts. The United States no longer needs to restrain itself! If this continues, the United States will lose its ability to survive without the Soviets attacking!

"No, you can't do this, Brzezinski. You are destroying the image of the United States around the world!" Secretary of State Warren firmly disagreed with his proposal. What a joke! At this time, are you still going to use force? Do you want to cause such demonstrations in Western Europe and make the US troops become rats crossing the street?

"President, we must at least rescue the hostages in the Prime Minister's Office first." Seeing President Carter's uncertain face, as if he couldn't make up his mind, Brzezinski continued: "It seems that those guys in the Chi Army are inciting the people of the island country to re-elect the Prime Minister."
