—————

During the battle on Diego Garcia Island, the changes in Diego Garcia Island were immediately discovered in the Pentagon of the United States.

As the core overseas base of the US military in the Indian Ocean, it is also responsible for relaying communications. Any problems will inevitably be discovered immediately.

But at the beginning, the Pentagon didn't realize that Diego Garcia was under attack, and simply thought it was just a temporary equipment problem.

But five minutes later, the communication to Diego Garcia was still silent, and the Pentagon realized that something was wrong.

Just at this time, a satellite also took pictures of the attack on Diego Garcia Island. On the satellite pictures, the entire island was shrouded in explosions and gunpowder smoke.

This made the entire Pentagon shake. Once Diego Garcia Island is captured, it will be a catastrophe for the US military.

The weapons and ammunition in the huge arsenal on the island are all important support for this war. Once these weapons and equipment are destroyed, the logistics of the US military in the next battle against the Iraqi-Syrian Federation will inevitably be greatly affected. .

This impact will be fatal when facing a high-end opponent like the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

Therefore, the high-level Pentagon immediately issued an order to the NATO combined fleet that was heading to the central Indian Ocean, requiring the fleet to support the US military on Diego Garcia Island at all costs.

All the U.S. fighter jets that originally took off from the island have also received an emergency return order, which is bound to protect the military base.

At this time, the closest to the U.S. Army Diego Garcia Island is the third and fourth escort groups of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the only Japanese force capable of landing operations is also in these two escort groups. middle.

When the Pentagon learned of this situation, it seemed to grasp the life-saving straw at once, and asked the two escort groups of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force to immediately support Diego Garcia Island.

The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, which participated in the NATO joint operations this time, dispatched two escort groups and two submarine groups, which is already half of the combat effectiveness of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

In order to strengthen the combat capability of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force,

In addition to the sea surface and the ships under its command, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's amphibious combat brigade has the most powerful No. 1 Amphibious Wing, which also followed.

Speaking of the 1st Amphibious Wing, I believe not many people know about it, but when it comes to Xiplen, the general division company in the west, many people can understand.

The Japanese Amphibious Combat Brigade was expanded from Siplen. It received a large amount of combat experience from the U.S. Marine Corps and purchased almost a full set of combat equipment from the U.S. Marine Corps. Several joint exercises have been held to improve the amphibious offensive capabilities of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

The Japanese Amphibious Combat Brigade has not been established for a long time. The truly fully capable force is also the first amphibious wing expanded from the Ship Company. It has thousands of troops and is the most elite force in Japan.

On board the quasi-aircraft carrier Kaga, the flagship of the Japanese Fourth Fleet Group, Lieutenant General Okubo, Minister of Defense Planning of the Ministry of Maritime Defense of Japan, received the order from the Pentagon and hesitated for a while.

Although the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force came out to fight with the US Navy this time, its main mission is to conduct anti-submarine operations in the Indian Ocean, and land operations on islands are not included.

Although the First Amphibious Wing already possesses combat effectiveness, the battle that even the U.S. military needs to ask for help must be no small matter.

"General, Diego Garcia Island must have been attacked by the Iraqi-Syrian Federation Marine Corps, and I'm afraid the US troops on it are already in danger. If we don't help, I'm afraid..." The chief of staff around Okubo saw his face Without hesitation, he stepped forward and said in a low voice.

In the command post of the Kaga, there is also a staff officer of the US Navy, so the two need to be extra careful when talking.

As for what he was afraid of, the chief of staff did not say anything, but how could Okubo not know.

In fact, the U.S. Navy officials in the command of the Kaga are also waiting for Japan to issue an order for the departure of the First Amphibious Wing. Of course, they are also observing Japan's response.

Although the separation of appearance and spirit is not enough, everyone has their own inner petty, let alone national strategic interests.

If it is just anti-submarine warfare at sea, then Japan will be very happy, but if the war burns to the island for landing operations, Okubo thinks that he should ask the Ministry of Defense for instructions.

It’s just that the military situation is urgent. The Pentagon of the United States has requested to send troops immediately, and has contacted the Ministry of Defense of Japan. However, whether the Ministry of Defense of Japan will agree to the attitude of the United States, Okubo himself has a question mark in his heart.

In fact, Japan and the United States themselves are very clear that the relationship between the two sides is just to use each other.

The United States needs Japan to restrict China's development, and Japan also needs to rely on the United States to strengthen its military power step by step, and use the United States to further break through the peace constitution.

It is impossible to offend the United States, but if Japan is deeply involved in this war, it will not be of much benefit to Japan.

Okubo was also very embarrassed.

In fact, Okubo also hopes to determine the international status of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces through World War I, instead of staying behind the US military.

The Iraq-Syria Federation is a very good choice, but the war situation that can cause headaches for the US military will inevitably make the Japanese soldiers pay a high price. Once the casualties are too large, he will not be able to give an explanation to the domestic base camp, let alone the Japanese people. An explanation.

After all, in the peace that lasted for more than half a century, no one wanted to restart the war, and most of the Japanese were also like this. Isn't it good to live a good life?

Not everyone is a right-winger. Once the war is lost, the blow to the confidence of the Japanese people will make the people less supportive of military development, and it will also make it more difficult to revise the subsequent peace constitution.

When Okubo was in a dilemma, a message from Tokyo made him feel relieved.

The meaning of Tokyo is very simple. Cai Ruichen is an enemy and not a friend. He hopes that the Maritime Self-Defense Force can play its own prestige and sincerely cooperate with friendly forces for mutual benefit and win-win results.

Although there was no clear order to send troops in the news, the Xuanwai voice was quite clear, and Okubo could understand it naturally.

Soon, the First Amphibious Wing received an order to set off immediately. On the decks of the Kaga and the Izumo not far away, the Osprey transport plane was towed to the take-off point on the deck... (To be continued.) Activated new url
