Chapter 535: Season 2 Book 21 Shadow of War 2-6-3 Volatile
January 22nd, 2024 at 09:00,
The 1st Marine division headquarters base at Midori Ward, Saitama City,
Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
The ist Marine division command line had prepared and established a
suppressing operation related to Japan’s ‘Declaration of Autonomy. However,
they were now busy with preparing, according to the new orders of the Marine
command line, to throw away all of the prior operation plans, and to establish
and prepare to go into action with a new operation plan.
Staying true to the changed operation plan, the ist Marine division didn’t show
any movents different from before. They were going about their normal
procedures as always, but so marines, naly the explosives specialty marines, were moving secretly, following the orders they had been given.
They had also gotten information from the National Intelligence Service that
Arican special forces had entered the countrya few days ago through the
Narita International Airport, and that they were deployed throughout Tokyo.
Most of the focus was around tracking these special force agents down.
Even just nmonts ago, they had gotten a call from the National Intelligence
Service that hundreds of the US Navy Seal soldiers had entered the country
through civil aircrafts and Narita International Airport.
“How many teams”
“According to the information we currently have, that would be 5 n per
team, so a total of 250 n.”
Colonel Kim Jin-wook answered quickly at the 1st Marine division commander
Major General Min Tae-hwan’s question.
“So those Arican bastards must definitely be prepared this ti,”
“It seems so. If we count the Navy Seal soldiers, the current number of
Arican special forces n deployed at Tokyo is about 1,000 n.”
Colonel Kim Jin-wook elaborated, looking into his tablet carefully.
“Mm, it’s not a problem for the Security Service to co at us with tens of
thousands, but it’s a bit worrying that there are more than 1,000 Arican
special forces soldiers.”
Major General Min Tae-hwan stroked his chin, making a worried face. It was a
sticky situation.
“I don’t think there will be much of a problem if we take care to get information
about their locations beforehand. Also, this isn’t a suppressing operation, so
wouldn’t it be okay?” It was true. If they had to, as Colonel Kim Jin-wook had said, move according
to the suppressing operation plan they had previously, they would have had to
bring over the 2nd marine division, currently in charge of defending the east,
here at Tokyo already.
But out of the entire 21nd marine division, only 2 regints were deployed at
Shikoku in place of the 5th marine division that had been dispatched to
Ukraine.
The problem here was the Arican special forces’ main task. Their goal was
to, in accordance with the ‘Declaration of Autonomy,’ cooperate with the
Security Service forces and take down the ist nmarine division deployed in
Tokyo.
In other words, even if the ist marine division did
show moventS
different from the norm, it was confird that the Security Service of Japan
and the special forces of the US would attack the ist marine division.
At this, the situation had changed to one that required excellent self defense,
as well as fighting with the Arican special forces, in order to have the
operation plan succeed.
“Commander! If there isn’t enough ti, what do you think about requesting
airborne forces from the Joint Chiefs of Staff?”
Colonel Kim Jin-wook read the Division Commander’s expression and
suggested additionally.
“Airborne forces? Even so, how can we, as the invincible marines, ask for help
from the army?”
Major General Min Tae-hwan had been an officer for more than 30 years now,
and had great pride in being a marine.
“Ha ha, I must have said too much because of your expression.”
“Was my face really like that?”
Yes sir, it was a face full of worry.” “Ha ha ha, I must have looked scared in front of you, when it’s really nothing at
all.”
Major General Min Tae-hwan joked, smiling brightly. He then gave additional
orders, as if he had made up his mind about sothing, lookirng at the screen
on the wall that was showing the developnt status of the US special forces
and the Security Service of Japan.
“The entire Spartan 3k should take care of thhe Arican special forces!”
Spartan 3K, a rapid response regint, was originally given tasks with the 2nd
marine division to spy on Japan’s Security Service that had been gathering in
Tokyo, or to fight, depending on the situation.
“Then, wouldn’t we have a shortage of the 7th regint troops that were going
to take care of Japan’s Security Service?”
The newly modified operation plan of the ist marine division was as follows. It
was to, excepting the 3rd marine regint that had moved along Hokkaido, have the 2nd marine regint, along with the explosives specialty marines, go
into given tasks in Tokyo as well as the surrounding industrial complexes
within 200km. The 7th marine regint and the 2 mobile strike squads of the
Spartan 3K would be facing off against Japan’s Security Service, which had
around 40,000 n.
In other words, Major General Min Tae-hwan was trying to, as the special
forces got larger in number, change the plan from having only one of the
Spartan 3K mobile strike squads go against the Arican special forces, to
having the entire Spartan 3K force go against the Arican special forces.
Operations Officer! In this situation, it’s better to have a shortage of troops for
facing the Japanese Security Service rather than for facing the Arican
special forces! Isn’t that so?”
“That is true, but I was wondering if it was okay to leave 1 mobile strike squad,
at least, to help out with the Japanese Security Service.”
Colonel Kim Jin-wook seed worried about facing 40,000 of the security
service with only 1 regint that was around 1,500 n, even if the Japanese
security service was an intantry force that only possessed normal personalT
firearms.
“Mm, we can decide on that part after we see how the Arican bastards move!
What do you think?”
“Yes sir, that sounds good.”
“Good! Then relay the details to subordinate units.”
“Yes, sir.
January 22nd, 2024 at 12:00 (US ti 21st at 23:00),
The Pentagon (the situation room of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters),
Arlington, Virginia, USA.
The spacious, 200 acre big situation room of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was busy
with many commanders and staff, but the atmosphere of the room was very
relaxed.
This was because they had been tense when they had gotten infornmation about
the Republic of Korea noticing their movents and mobilizing various naval
forces to the East Sea, but they had relaxed upon further confirmation with all
of the reconnaissance force that they had, when it was confird that there
were only 2 multipurpose amphibious assault ships and destroyers and
frigates, only totaling up to 12 ships.
It was a point of slight concern that the 2 multipurpose amphibious assault
ships each had 16 6th-generation CWA-11P Phoenix fighter jets, but these jets
were developed more for ground attacks than other attacks.
Furthermore, the Pacific Fleet had 300 F-35C and F-35B Lightning II fighter
jets. These fighter jets didn’t lose in terms of number or performance
compared to the opponent fighter jets.
At this, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Austin Berry, who was also
the commander of naval operations, was watching the situation personally
before doing anything else. This showed how important the Pacific Fleet’s
landing operation, related to the Declaration of Autonomy, was to the US.
Even just 3 years ago, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff hadn’t had
military power. Unlike the Republic of Korea, which had a specific operation
region, the US considered the whole world as its operating region. Because of
this, the US had Unified Force Commands deployed in each region of the world,
and the commander of the Unified Force Command of that region had all of the
commanding power for any operation of that region. But currently, as
network-based technology advanced, it beca possible to relay orders and
know the status of the operation from anywhere in the world in real ti. So,
after the 1st Northeast Asian War had ended, President Trump had given all of
the commanding power, including the comnmanding power of the Unified Force
Commands of each region, to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
“Are you really sure that the Korean naval force is only that big?”
Chairman Austin Berry asked repeatedly.
“Yes sir, when combining all of the military satellites’ data, including the Atlas
reconnaissance satellites and the satellites that pass through the skies above
those seas, there isn’t any other naval force within a radius of 50okm.”
The head of the Reconnaissance Military Command of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Captain Julian Green personally answered.
The Reconnaissance Military Command was a departnt that collected,
combined, and commanded all data of the US Army, Navy, Air Force, as well as
the Marines and the Coast Guard when there was ongoing war or when the
country was undera state of ergency.
Captain Julian Green answered in a confident tone. He was slightly annoyed at
the repeated questions of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but he
didn’t show it. Chairman Berry’s rigid expression didn’t get any softer, however. It was because continuous suspicions were wandering in his mind.
“Ha ha, Chairman! It seems your nerves are too sensitive.”
Chief of Operations Nick Rimando, who had exactly the sa na as the 3rd
fleet’s Operations Officer, Nick Rimando, interjected.
Chairman Berry got up from his seat, crossed his arms, and shook his head.
“It’s not that I don’t believe in our reconnaissance force, but recently the
Korean navy has been showing up with nurous new technologies that we
can’t even imagine. Don’t you know as well? The result of the naval warfare we
had with the Korean navy 3 years ago.”
“3 years ago? We didn’t have too much information about Korea back then, but
this ti it’s different, Chairman”
Chief of Operations Nick Rimando, much like Captain Julian Green, replied in a
confident voice. The surrounding commanders also started to agree, nodding
their heads.
“I understand. Even so, please continue to be alert and perform your job to the
fullest in the reconnaissance tasks and operations, Commander Green.”
“Yes, sir.
As Captain Green replied, nodding slightly, Chairman Austin Berry turned his
head to ask one of the Unified Force Command commanders, the Central
Command commander, Captain Kyle Scott, a question.
“Commander Scott!”
“Yes, Chairman!”
“Early morning tomorrow, when, after the Pacific Fleet carries out the landing operation, can the 5th fleet get to the operation region?”
Last week, the 5th fleet, at President Trump’s urgent orders, had sailed from
the Middle East through the Strait of Malacca, and currently, it was at the seas
previously called the South China Sea. The distance was 3,700km, a distance
that could be covered in at least 8o hours if all ships sailed at 25 knots from
Namju to Jeju-do of the Republic of Korea.
“There’s exactly 73 hours left, so ipm on the 25 at local ti.”
Captain Kyle Scott answered imdiately with a hint fronm his aide.
“73 hours… Not too bad. That’ll be when the 7th fleet will be carrying out its
operation at Dongju after the landing operation finishes.”
Chairman Austin Berry muttered as if he was reflecting on the previously
established operation plan.
“Yes sir, there won’t be any issues with getting there on ti.”
It was called the ‘Declaration of Autonomy’ operation in Japan, but the US Joint
Chiefs of Staff’s official operation na of this operation was the “Revelation
of destruction” operation.
As the na of the operation suggested, making Japan, which had beco
simply a small nation, an autonomous country was only an excuse. The actual
intention of the US was to prove to every country in the world that the US was
the one leading world order.
The US special forces deployed on the 23rd at 5am (local ti) will work
together with Japan’s security service to attack the 1st marine division of the
Republic of Korea while the Pacific Fleet carries out a landing operation on the
Kujukuri Beach of Chiba at the sa ti.
The landing operation must be finished in one day. When 6 US marine
divisions have landed within the day, the 7th fleet must sail around Japan’s
south coast and near the seas of Dongju, and attack the 2nd marine division’s
military facilities. At the sa ti, the 5th fleet that cos from the previously-called South China Sea must also sail towards the operation sea
area of the northern Korea Sea and attack Jeju-do’s military facilities.
This was the general gist of the ‘Revelation of destruction’ operation.
This was a large-scale military operation, even including the attack of the
Republic of Korea territories, that was widely different from the information
related to the ‘Declaration of Autonomy’ that the Tokyo agents of the Foreign
Intelligence Service had been able to acquire this past September..
