Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 311 >

All US military forces are geared towards nuclear warfare.

Therefore, the organization of the US military was different from that of the Korean army.

“Uh… So, what do you call a combat team?”

“The basic organization of the Korean army is one artillery regiment in three regiments per division, or one artillery brigade in three brigades by attaching one more artillery battalion to each regiment if it is strengthened. Direct division is separate. Any problem?”

“It’s not like that in the United States. It is the view of the Pentagon that the existing division-brigade-regiment-battalion-company method is too inefficient in the event of a nuclear war.”

“Is that so?”

“We organize our divisional regiments into five combat groups, each of which consists of five rifle companies and other support units. It is a lighter organization than the existing infantry units.”

“Ummm…but that’s a United States organization, isn’t it? It is said that the U.S. military, which has nuclear weapons, has nuclear weapons deployed in company units.

“It is a violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The Russian Empire will not stand still as soon as nuclear weapons are supplied abroad.”

According to the treaty, even the deployment of foreign troops stationed with nuclear weapons is prohibited. Of course, there is an exception when an expeditionary force is formed for the purpose of war rather than stationing, but the expeditionary force was formed by Korea and the US military advisory group, so the US military did not bring nuclear weapons.

“Once the Japanese will not use nuclear weapons, the existing organization of the South Korean military will be effective enough.”

The formation of the US military naturally assumes a situation in which tactical nukes are exploding in all directions during the war with Russia. It is highly likely that the Russian-style organization that assumes local or conventional warfare is more appropriate.

“We were only trained with the XM51, but the controls are probably similar.”

total chaos.

There were even skits, such as the absurd situation that the US military advisors did not know how to control their own tanks.

Of course, the driving method of the American tanks was quite intuitive, so it was easy to control them after putting their heads together for a while.

However, the operation of the tram was only a brief, and Koreans soon realized it.

Without nuclear weapons, the US military was in such a miserable state that it was difficult to do anything.

***

“It was built on a budget barely approved by the US Congress, and it will probably be the only armored vehicle in the US military.”

“You just call it a train?”

When I asked the question with a grin, Irina answered lightly.

“They aren’t tanks, so what should I do?”

T51, or M51.

It wasn’t in the original history, but I’ve seen this absurd thing in the 21st century.

The oval hull that looked like a flying saucer, the inclined armor, and the turret that must have been copied by referring to Russian heavy tanks….

The most unusual thing is the four-line orbit.

“The most important thing is that we do not use oil.”

“Nuclear Propulsion.”

Just like Dokdo is a medicine if used well, there is a rumor that a small amount of radiation is good for the body, and even though I made a public announcement about the harm of radiation, it is the United States of America.

I was told there was no problem if I met the radiation standards within the allowable limits. It also means that there is nothing good about it.

“This tank was created to replace Davy Crockett. Considering its overall use, it is closer to the multi-purpose self-propelled artillery used in our empire. It is armed with a 170mm main gun and one M2 heavy machine gun.”

Davy Crockett, nuclear-launched recoilless gun.

So… This bastard shoots micro-nuclear shells from a tank gun. You can also use regular bullets.

Our self-propelled howitzer can be used both as an anti-tank self-propelled howitzer and as a regular self-propelled howitzer, which means that he can fire both direct and howitzer fire.

In general, combining a self-propelled artillery and a tank is highly likely to result in an impossible product, but that one uses nuclear shells, so it will be pretty much anything.

“If you look at the main gun, it is a threat to our T-45 tank, even if it is loaded with normal shells, not nuclear warheads.”

“It would be the same if we brought the newest T-45B, not the T-45.”

that’s natural The only difference between the two tanks is that the gun caliber has been upgraded from a 100mm smoothbore gun to a 135mm smoothbore gun, and the engine has been changed. No, even if you bring an M1 Abrams, you can’t stand the 175mm.

“Isn’t it more expensive? over 100 tons? weight?”

“I’m not going there. First of all, there is a limit weight of the crane… It must be about 70 tons. Because of this, it is speculated that a new suspension that is supposed to be a deformation of the torsion bar is used, and according to the information shared by the Stasi, Porsche sold a new external suspension to the US military. I couldn’t stop it from passing. and…..”

“There must be a number of predictable problems, the parts that would have been compromised for the main gun, and if it was compromised in consideration of the nuclear war situation, it would probably be on the defensive side. You must be using gloves,

‘crazy.’

All I can say about this new weapon is this.

He, I think I heard a similar weapon somewhere, shooting a nuclear shell at heavy armor equipped with an atomic engine… I don’t remember well, but I think I picked it up in a previous life to say that it was in some kind of creation.

‘But did it actually happen, damn it.’

“No, it’s possible to miniaturize a nuclear reactor like that… it’s possible, damn it.”

Right now, we’re going to mount a nuclear reactor on the satellite and launch it. Of course, even if it is not at that level, it is possible to supply power with RTG (Nuclear Power Battery) enough.

But if the tank is destroyed, radioactivity will spread. When you think about it… Americans are already thinking, ‘By the time our tank is destroyed, bombs rain and mushroom clouds will rise all over the world. ‘ I guess it’s kind of like this mentality. It’s a bone

In fact, if these guys continue to create a suitable mercenary nation in this way to engage in proxy warfare, it is a possible story. They only intervene in an all-out war where nuclear war is inevitable, and push one or two suitable countries as a bait with economic or military support to make them a bullet hole and wage war.

The money will go out, but you won’t have to be questioned by Congress for the increasing number of casualties.

‘That’s why the PMCs are so popular in Afghanistan, this, hopefully, by the 21st century, there may be really huge mercenary organizations that will overthrow even the countries that appear in movies.’

Now, the situation of the Republic of Korea, which is the first target of the mercenary nation, is being reported to us in real time.

“Americans are pouring various aids to Korea. From rifles to tanks to aircraft to ships.”

Wouldn’t that alone make it a world-class military power? Even though it was concluded that it was useless in my country, the quantity of Americans made even me sweat.

Although we were the first to start producing nuclear weapons, there is a good chance that they have outnumbered us in the number of warheads we have.

Of course, in terms of power, I don’t know. It’s been years since we developed the hydrogen bomb. However, it is presumed that Americans have secured hydrogen bomb technology, but have not put it to practical use.

Assuming Americans are carrying atomic bombs while we’ve deployed hydrogen bombs, the total explosive power could be greater than ours.

‘It doesn’t mean anything.’

It’s a natural procedure for the whole world to get f*cked the moment a nuclear explodes anyway, but I wondered if it would be meaningful to compete for explosive power.

Both us and you have the ability to ensure mutually assured destruction. It is also wiser not to go to war.

“How about the blue side? Are you over?”

“Yes that’s right. I think we can suppress it now.”

“It should be removed.”

With that one word, I sentenced the current Qing regime to death.

“What do you do after you push it?”

“Well? Shall we give it to Korea?”

Of course it’s a joke. Qing territories encompassed all of Hebei, Jiangsu and Shandong, including Beijing and Tianjin. Korea does not have the ability to maintain.

It’s not difficult if you want to see Korea fall apart.

“The population is too large for us to absorb. It is realistic to just keep the contract and hand it over to North China. The country is also confused.”

“right.”

I smiled bitterly.

“Contact Yan Shishan, and you can absorb the blue.”

“All right.”

There is no reason for us to intervene. Yan Shishan will take care of it.

In fact, Qing existed only nominally, and most of them maintained a lifestyle closer to that of North China.

“Now, if that happens, it will be a confrontation between Yan Shishan and Mao Zedong on the border of the Yangtze River, and Qing will be sorted out like that…. It is not for us to know what happens to India and Indochina, and Arabia is doing well. Leaving it behind, is it West Japan?”

“The US will take care of that. In Indochina, the British and French and Korean troops were dispatched to western Japan, so wouldn’t it be better to pay more attention to India? At least in terms of refugee issues.”

“I’m a refugee, so Hong Kong is uproar about that?”

“Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan were all like that. Even in Ryukyu and the Philippines, boat people poured in. Anyway, that’s China and this is India. The bloodshed in India is serious.”

“Indian refugees are first pumped in Afghanistan and Persia, so we don’t have to get our hands dirty.”

Refugees are not escaping from Afghanistan, but rather ‘to Afghanistan’.

“In fact, it is questionable how many people will be able to forcibly break through a mountain range like that by increasing patrols to the north of Afghanistan and entering Central Asia.”

India is truly a confined space. It’s all mountains, and that’s one of the reasons we laughed at the possibility of an invasion of India during the Great Game.

The only options you have are to cross the Bay of Bengal and go to Indochina – even though it is a formidable hell – to Sri Lanka, which is right across the sea, or to go to Arabia by boat.

“Americans have almost given up on setting foot in Eurasia so far, but there is no guarantee that they will continue to do so. So, the military power of the United States… Even if you don’t know the navy, weakening the army will have to be done at the risk of life and death. Because there is no law that states that we and the United States must fight only through nuclear war.”

“It’s like a proxy war.”

“Yeah, when Americans come to their senses, they will realize that not all wars will lead to nuclear war, but if they do, they will not admit it, because restarting weapons means ending isolationism.”

Stop isolationism.

This means that the deal between Russia and the United States will be broken.

The trade between Russia and the United States was simple.

The United States will take Oceania to secure the Pacific Ocean, the Azores, Ireland and Iceland to secure the Atlantic Ocean, and East Japan and India to serve as a buffer zone to protect Russia’s mainland and establish a kind of neutral zone. .

The United States withdraws its hands from South China, and the British and French empires that are trying to create a gray zone come together to collapse and then take over the mainland to Russia and Indochina to the United States as their sphere of influence.

All of North America and South America including Greenland, Antarctica, etc. are taken care of by the United States, and Russia has all of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. However, Madagascar and Sri Lanka are territories of the United States.

The British Empire wanted to widen the gray zone, but the United States and Russia believed that the gray zone was sufficient to prevent a head-on clash between the two countries. It would be unacceptable for not only great powers but also regional powers with the potential to grow into great powers into the gray zone.

According to this deal, there is no need for the United States to raise an army. Who are you going to fight with by raising an army? South America, where the military was disbanded and became a de facto colony of the United States? Greenland or Iceland, where few people live? Oceania, where things aren’t that different from South America? Madagascar?

We should not send troops to India, which is a buffer zone, and if it is Indochina, there is a reason to station a ground force, but we have to deal with the British and French Empire, which is holding on to not let it go.

In fact, the Army is not even more necessary as the US side is planning to support the colonial liberation movement and then incorporate independent Indochina into the sphere of economic influence.

The Navy doesn’t really need to make a huge qualitative improvement either. In the first place, our navy is so lame, isn’t it?

Of course, there is a saying that ten guns can’t stop a thief in terms of quantity, so it can be expanded, but if you want to improve it qualitatively, the council will say, ‘So, who are you going to fight with while spending money on it? Is our power already enough to rank second in the world?’ The sound is bound to come out of nowhere.

Yes, that’s exactly what the weapon systems that were ahead of their time in the original history, like the F-22 and the Seawolf, heard it.

As long as it has the capability of nuclear retaliation, there is no need to recklessly increase the military unless isolationism is lifted and the agreement with the Russian Empire is broken.

Although it is a two-sided agreement, the fact of the agreement itself will be known to the whole world. The level of the agreement and the specific method are only confidential, but even a US senator cannot know that confidentiality.

Therefore, the current pitiful situation of the US Army also paradoxically meant that the US was practicing its side agreement with us well.

“Which do you think will be more binding on the United States, breaking the agreement with us or withdrawing isolationism?”

“Breaking agreements is turning us into enemies, but to reverse isolationism, we have to turn the people into enemies.”

“Yes, if you fight with a foreign country, you can say that it is enough to win, but if you turn the people into enemies, you have to stop your political life. I can, so I made it difficult under international law to start a war.”
