Soviet Union 1991

Main text Chapter 902 They are back

Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu, as a candidate of the Liberal Democratic Party, was elected as Prime Minister of Japan on August 9, 1989. By the end of 1991, his career as Prime Minister ended. He experienced the peak of Japan's bubble economy, as well as the stock market and real estate. The initial stages of collapse begin. This prime minister, who has been in power for 812 days, has also become one of Japan's longest-serving prime ministers in the 1990s.

Of course, the economic difficulties of the Soviet Union also gave this confident prime minister of an economic power the hope of regaining the four northern islands. In April of this year, Gorbachev, as the first former Soviet president after World War II, visited Japan in April 1991. While Toshiki Kaifu promised to provide assistance to the former Soviet Union in its economic crisis, he also made a request to take back the four northern islands occupied by the former Soviet Union. Of course, Gorbachev refused.

Toshiki Kaifu changed his strategy because he received news from his friends in the White House that after the Soviets dismantled the army, they would attack the navy, especially the Pacific Fleet. This would be a great good thing for Japan, and they faced off against each other. If the issue of the four northern islands that has lasted for nearly half a century can be resolved in his own hands, he will also become one of the greatest prime ministers in Japanese history.

So he he he he he he he he he he he he he he urgently summoned the Director of the Japanese Defense Agency, Gen Nakatani, to analyze the possibility of taking back the four northern islands from the Soviet Union this time.

So far, Toshiki Kaifu is still optimistic about the sustainable development of Japan's economy. He believes that Japan has now become a world-class economic power, so it should actively seek the rights of a political power. If we can learn from the international events in the Soviet Union Opening a gap in China, Japan’s performance will surely impress Western countries. ?So far, Toshiki Kaifu is still optimistic about the sustainable development of Japan's economy.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you said that we want to carry out tough negotiations on the issue of the four northern islands of the Soviet Union? Isn't this a bit abrupt? After all, we have not prepared sufficient chips on this issue." Nakatani Genhi Kaifu Toshiki Be young and consider issues more carefully Be careful. If the U.S.-Japan security treaty had not restricted the display of his talents, Gen Nakatani would have been far better than the mediocre defense ministers in history. From the time he later became defense minister when he proposed the abolition of the official system, we knew that his ambitions would not be Smaller than the war criminals of our ancestors.

"Your Excellency Nakaguyuan, you must know that the Soviet Union is now on the verge of collapse. If diplomatic pressure is put on him at this time, there should be hope to take back the four northern islands from the Soviet Union. Even if they cannot take back those islands 100%, they can only take back If we take back part of it, at least we can make a big difference at the negotiation table and force the Soviet Union to retreat and compromise." Toshiki Kaifu paced back and forth, his expression extremely excited when he thought about the bear being able to eat it in his hands. For more than half a century, except for the Russo-Japanese War, Japan has not taken advantage of Russia.

Of course, Japan is still on the verge of the collapse of the economic bubble. The false prosperity did not make Toshiki Kaifu realize the precursor to the subsequent economic recession.

"Just think about it, we have been suppressed militarily by the Soviet Union for nearly a hundred years, and today we can finally use economic means to sanction these Siberian barbarians." Toshiki Kaifu became more and more excited as he talked, and he was eager to draw up a plan now Negotiate with the Soviet Union.

"How about we wait for a while, wait until the Soviets actually dismantle the Pacific Fleet, and then we can ask them for negotiation on the four northern islands." Nakatani Gen put forward a more compromise suggestion to Kaifu Toshiki, and the dying polar bear jumped up and looked back at the light. A bite out of Japan can create a shocking bloody hole.

"No, no, no, I can't wait. Now we have to deal with the Soviets. Changes will occur over time. Nakaguyuan, haven't you seen that the newly appointed Soviet President Yanayev is preparing for a new round of institutional reforms? What if The Soviet Union came out of the crisis, which meant that I Our chances of regaining the four northern islands will become slim again." Toshiki Kaifu sat on the chair again. He also had his own factors to consider. Based on direct judgment, this is the most difficult period for the Soviet Union and the Japanese. An excellent opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"I'm going to visit the Maritime Self-Defense Force in a few days. Your Excellency, Gen Nakatani, please be fully prepared and be sure to show the heroic appearance of our Self-Defense Force in front of the media's cameras." Finally, the Prime Minister added, " If the Soviets refuse to submit, we will drag the Americans into this storm. They must have just suffered a loss on the Baltic Sea issue and will not miss such a good opportunity to force the Soviet Union. "

Isn’t this just like being an American dog again? Nakatani whispered in a low voice, but it was impossible for him to say these words and he could only nod his head in a coping manner, while planning how to use the Kongo-class destroyer to show the majesty of the Japanese naval force, and not be dwarfed by the Kiev-class aircraft carrier.

"Okay, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. I will definitely make everyone look at the Maritime Self-Defense Force with admiration." Nakatani Yuan nodded seriously. Dealing with public relations issues has always been his strength.

It's just that Toshiki Kaifu forgot one thing. At its peak, the Soviet Navy was able to have four major fleets conduct war exercises in different sea areas at the same time. However, Japan's so-called Maritime Self-Defense Force was far from reaching such heights. Ninety years ago, Japan was lucky enough to bully the declining Tsarist Russia. Ninety years later, Japan was lucky enough to be no match for the declining red polar bear.

Toshiki Kaifu is also a man of his word. Within a few days, he announced an official visit to the Maritime Self-Defense Force and landed on a Kongo-class destroyer that the Japanese are proud of on a sunny day. Nakatani Yuan indeed did things beautifully in front of the media. The brand-new gray and black destroyers were displayed in front of the media. What is also eye-catching are the tall and powerful naval images carefully selected to form the airborne early warning fleet. Helicopters and -2 maritime patrol planes flew over Toshiki Kaifu's head. The neat and solemn lineup gave Toshiki Kaifu an unrealistic illusion of a powerful navy.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no aircraft carriers and U.S. troops stationed in Okinawa, Japanese reporters would almost have thought that they had returned to the level of the Imperial Navy during World War II.

Toshiki Kaifu stood on the destroyer, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. At the end of the visit, the Prime Minister gave a speech to the members of the Naval Self-Defense Force. The Prime Minister stood on a temporary podium set up on the ship's side deck, and all those sitting under the stage were naval personnel carefully arranged by Nakatani Gen.

At this time, the person in charge of the operation, Gen Nakatani, stood next to Toshiki Kaifu, smiled and asked softly, "Your Excellency, are you satisfied with the scene I arranged?"

Toshiki Kaifu, feeling the coolness of the sea breeze on the deck, replied with satisfaction, "Of course I am, Mr. Gen Nakatani, you have demonstrated the perfect image of our Self-Defense Forces in the new era very well."

Then he turned around and said with passionate emotion to the members of the Self-Defense Forces in the audience who were listening to his speech attentively, "I stand here today and look at everyone's enthusiasm and hope, and I am very pleased. We in Japan have experienced various things. Despite all kinds of suffering, we still have not forgotten to develop military strength to defend our country. Similarly, even in today's peaceful and stable areas, we still need our military control in some areas where disputes have not been resolved."

A reporter on the side interrupted Toshiki Kaifu's speech when he paused at the right time, "So, Prime Minister, will you really increase military investment in the Self-Defense Forces? Will this be seen as the re-emergence of the right wing of the militaristic state? ?”

Toshiki Kaifu said resolutely, "No, our Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force exists to maintain peace and unity, but this does not mean that we will ignore others' occupation of Japan's offshore islands for decades. We We insist on resolving these disputes through negotiation.”

Having said this, he stroked the cold hull of the destroyer and said slowly, "But this does not mean that our armed forces will sit idly by. Those countries that want to separate our sacred and indivisible territory, the Japanese Navy will Fight resolutely against them.”

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Many members of the Self-Defense Forces hope that the navy can break away from the constraints of the treaty and become a real national force. After all, every Japanese naval general has a great power dream of regaining the strength of the naval empire in World War II.

Moreover, any fool can tell which country the Japanese Prime Minister is targeting, and Toshiki Kaifu also deliberately used the name Japanese Navy instead of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. The different names indicate that the Japanese government, which has always been weak on island issues, will be prepared to retaliate this time. A tough negotiation? All of a sudden, the media took down Toshiki Kaifu's words verbatim and prepared for headlines the next day.

But everyone is wondering, will this negotiation end in vain like the previous negotiations? (To be continued.)
