Moscow. russia.

“Moganome, heavily armed with American weapons, hit the salt-watering acid, and it’s blocking it better than I thought it would.”

“That’s right. I guess this is…”

“Mao Zedong, he must have provoked war on purpose.”

“Even though we were not actually running a military government, Mao Zedong’s actions were clearly an insult to our Russian Empire. You must intervene!”

“It has been less than a year since the war ended. A new war has already begun…”

“Yugoslavia down there has invaded Albania, and they’re slamming all of western Greece claiming loot, no bastards, and anyway, just because the end of the treaty is over doesn’t mean all the wars are over! During the last great war, when did all the wars end with one agreement to end the war?”

“It is a different story for us to intervene. It would be better to provide supplies and equipment…”

“Actually, they don’t really need supplies and equipment. Saltstone Mountain is located in one of China’s most advanced industrial zones. They just don’t have enough elite troops.”

“How about air support?”

In fact, the problem in Asia is just that the United States put a spoon on it, and there was no such blasphemy in Europe or Europe.

Hungary ripped off territories from Romania. Romania asked us to intervene… But what stops them from being pretty?

Moreover, when the Hungarian Queen accompanied the prime minister to the Kremlin and demanded the price of the blood of the Hungarians shed on the southern front, there was nothing to be said, and he told him to do it himself.

And he really knew how to drive a chariot and plunder Romanian territory. it’s been 3 months

Yugoslavia then demanded Western Greece, claiming that they also bled in the Mediterranean, and with the position that I could neither officially acknowledge nor condemn, withdrew the Russian troops from Greece to the east of Thessalonica.

So Yugoslavia, who had taken over the military government, attacked this time to annex Albania. I’ll turn really.

In the end, I ordered the transfer of military power to Bulgaria, which had been involved in the war for the rest of Greece, to no avail. Yeah, I’ll have to give my allies the loot. The original loyalty needs to come back at a price for loyalty to be maintained well. If you don’t do that, you’ll become a jerk, and if you do it well, you’ll become America.

But the Yugo cubs seem to cross the line a bit too hard.

In any case, it is not for me and the Russian Empire to know whether or not to fight fiercely for a little bit of land in the Balkans.

But if the US intervenes, the story is different.

‘I don’t know what America’s intentions are. Do you seriously want to play a game with us, or is it just that some forces are running rampant, or do you just want to do business properly?’

maybe it’s all

‘So we also need to look at the liver first.’

If the US throws gloves at us, we can answer with a gun and a knife. But if that’s not the case, there’s no need to go to war.

“Rather than all-out military intervention, support military supplies, instead, the military administration period is filled as specified in the agreement. If you step back, you can give the wrong message, and if you are attacked, repulse them mercilessly, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs the U.S. government.”

“What do you say?”

“If this is an unfortunate accident that occurred due to issues such as border disputes, internal disputes, and interpretation of the text of the agreement, which are the official positions of the US government, I would not intervene.”

In other words, limiting battles only within conflict zones is a guarantee that the Russian military will not move.

“Whether it is South China or the U.S. military, if we move beyond that, we will intervene.”

April 12, 1944. Guangdong Province. US base.

The history of the United States Air Force is very short.

Originally, it existed as a communication squadron, but it was upgraded to the Army Air Department, further reorganized into a land carrier, and now the Air Force Department was established.

However, it has not yet achieved full independence of the Air Force.

But what does that matter, now they call themselves the Air Force.

This is especially true because it is a fact that the Air Force will be officially separated sooner or later.

In any case, the US military is greatly expanding its air force.

And they were sent to South China.

The Russian Empire wrapped it up well as a diplomatic investigation and delivered it, but if I tell you to dismantle it, the Russian military will not care whether the US forces enter or Mao Zedong goes rampant, but except for territorial disputed areas, if the ground forces cross the demarcation line, Russia will start from then on. A warning that the military will intervene in earnest.

Yes. is a ground force.

Even the US military pouring bombs to give the war an advantage is barely within the Russian military’s tolerance. Assuming that the bomb doesn’t cross the Russian border or hit the Aman Qing dynasty.

Therefore, the US military deployed a number of bombers in the region of the Laurel Warlords in South China and started bombing, and the Salt Warlords in response to this, sent down a heavily armed special operation team to carry out strikes in various ways.

Naturally, they did not leave any evidence that they were behind the scenes, but as anyone can see, the troops deployed by the Salt Gye Warlords are engaged in guerrilla warfare against the Laurel Warlords, so they have to respond.

However, they focused their blows against the Laurel Warlords, and within them, the Mao Zedong faction, at least not directly against the Americans.

So far.

“Hey, Peter!”

“ok?”

“Let’s take turns.”

Tom took a thick cigar to his lips.

“uh? Did you smoke a cigar?”

“It’s from Havana.”

“Hey… f*ck, where did you come from?”

“I got it.”

“The envious child.”

Peter picked up the assault rifle he had put down.

The U.S. military adopted the M14, which is an automated FN M1938, and gave priority to the troops stationed in South China.

However, the problem was that there was not enough carbines or anything, there was hardly any battle with the enemy on the ground throughout the war in the first place, and there was no way the army and marines would take away all the guns they had.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Army Air Corps, which paid attention to the AKM, a standard rifle for the Russian Army, submitted a request to procure base-defense weapons, and fortunately it was passed. However, the existing equipment and ammunition must be compatible, and the number of introductions was limited with one introduction.

And the US ordered about 5,000 AKMs using carbine bullets, which were used by the US military, from the Kalashnov Arsenal, which is a legally general company in Russia, but de facto state-owned arsenal. It was difficult to reject an order that had already been put in knowing that it would be rejected- even a proposal for the AKM to the U.S. Army’s new standard rifle business under the pretext of promoting friendship between the two countries, and in the end, a supply contract was signed.

And they were all assigned to the US Air Force Military Police in the direction of the Laurel Warlords.

Separately, the US military’s vigilance posture was quite loose. It is natural. Even if the unit right next to you is attacked, you can see that the enemies are slowly evading the base where the Stars and Stripes are mounted.

The only thing they should be wary of were thieves and beggars looking for supplies. People who turned into thieves while begging, I shot and killed them several times.

The axis of being proudly receiving flowers even if it was prostitution was to be modest. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the sentries stand because of them.

Even that was pretty rare these days.

But such negligence can lead to a crisis.

-puck!

“uh?”

One of the guards looked down at his own chest, oblivious to the pain that stabbed in his chest. blood was dripping

-puck! puck!

The guards collapsed in the subsequent fire. Shortly thereafter, a soldier who had not been seen by the sniper tried to shout.

“saliva…….”

And a flying arrow sealed his mouth.

The American soldiers who had their necks pierced died on the spot, and men in black appeared in their place.

“Hide the body.”

“All right.”

Shortly thereafter, a series of explosions shook the base.

“Tell me again.”

Huey Long asked with a firm expression on his face.

“Were you attacked? Americans?”

“That’s right.”

“What’s behind it?”

“I sneaked in and installed a bomb on an aircraft that was parked, then detonated it and fled. Soldiers on the hunt killed some during the engagement, but looking at the bodies and equipment, they appear to be locals.”

“If you’re a local, you mean Chinese?”

“That’s right. The equipment was made in Germany. Considering that a lot of German-made weapons are released in China, and that there is a lot of equipment manufactured in China, it is not surprising.”

“Could it be Spetsnaz?”

“Low, actually… After this incident, we checked the status of each unit.”

Long’s expression hardened at McNair’s words.

“How was it?”

“…it was disastrous. It is a miracle that this has not happened before. The morale of the troops was terrible, and even crimes against the people were taking place regularly. The vigilance was weak, and prostitutes came and went even inside the unit. The discipline is not at the normal level.”

“……”

“It’s not that I don’t understand. Sir, we have waged war.”

Although he did not go to Europe, the battle in South America after Canada, and the struggle in the Pacific, were never weak.

No, it was a fierce and dense fight that made me feel like I was crazy. In South America, blind haters of the United States poisoned wells and buried mines near US bases.

In the Pacific, they were not afraid of death and resisted by hiding on the island full of ship-breakers rather than being caught. Most of them were the most elite who had experienced long battles in China.

During the amphibious assault on the Japanese mainland, civilians were dragged out with bombs tied to their bodies and forced to run at the Americans. And the Americans saw it all clearly.

Even the corpses of civilians who were forced to commit suicide, I wanted to go home beyond all that.

But he was called up as an occupation force, and now he is fighting the Chinese again. It’s not an all-out war, it’s an order to pour bombs over the Chinese people’s heads, but anti-aircraft artillery fires and interceptors approach. There are also aircraft that have been shot down.

It is clear that there are American soldiers who died in ground wars as well.

The war is over, the Axis powers are on their knees.

Why the hell does the war go on? Why does a comrade who was waiting for the day he could go home, who said that he would propose to his lover when he returned, throws a grenade?

“Opium is widespread in China. There are not many cases where poppies were brought into the unit, and the pilots were drunk. Everyone is going crazy, sir.”

What’s worse than wandering aimlessly in a dark, dark tunnel, in a dark, dark tunnel where you can’t see anything and no hope to end realizing that you do

The war is over, and the revenge is over. All the enemy nations that dared to pull out the nose of the United States were defeated.

But why do they still have to fight those who have nothing to do with it? There is no promise of when this war will end again.

Most importantly, they are supporting Mao Zedong. And the main source of military funds for Mao Zedong is the poppy.

In such an environment where drugs are all within reach, do you think soldiers who are under extreme stress will not touch drugs?

No one there saw the soldiers as such stalwarts.

“Sir, if we want our soldiers to stop taking drugs, we must immediately press Mao to stop poppy production, but Mao would rather cut our hands. Without poppies they can’t get money, and the soldiers are unmotivated. They want to go home and find no meaning to fight. More than anything else, that is the biggest problem.”

“……Then what are we going to do?”

“A total withdrawal is the surest way.”

“No, no.”

Huey Long buried his face in the desk.

“I understand the pathetic situation of the military now, I don’t even understand why this is happening, but do you know that there are only one or two people pushing my back right now? Do you know how many dollars the Wilgar and Detroit traders put in their back pockets? Even if I withdraw the troops, they will be put back in at this time next year.”

“Then what will you do?”

“Until now, we have only had the Air Force and some army troops, let’s increase our troops. Let’s send in a large force at once and wipe out all the troublesome parts and leave it out.”

“The deployment of large-scale troops will certainly provoke Russia.”

“Yeah, but what if Russia doesn’t leave the room to worry about it.”

“Yes?”
