Pavlov sat on the sofa, looking at the Japanese Prime Minister who was still pretending to be calm. He picked up the teacup, opened the porcelain lid, took a sip, and said, "Now the whole world is probably watching Japan's reaction. Think about what kind of news will appear in your country the next day. 'Soviet fighters are approaching Japanese airspace, and the Self-Defense Forces fighters dare not intercept' or 'The Soviet Union is furious, and the Japanese Prime Minister may face resignation'?"
Japan did not dare to take action, because it was not clear whether the tyrant was really sitting on the Backfire bomber. But the Soviet Union would not stop provoking, and Prime Minister Kaifu Toshiki was destined to pay the price for his remarks a few days ago. But in Pavlov's eyes, this had a deeper political meaning. Using the United States' first minion in the Asia-Pacific region as a warning to the heavyweight opponent across the Bering Strait.
The Japanese Prime Minister took a deep breath, calmed down, and then asked, "So what outcome does Prime Minister Pavlov want to see? My fighter plane will shoot down the bomber carrying your country's top leader, and then the Soviet Union will conquer Japan and even the world? Or will Japan give in and allow the Soviet Union to trample on our sovereignty, and we will express our serious protest?"
"No, no, Mr. Kaifu Junki, we passed by the Kuril Islands just to reaffirm our sovereignty. As for the trade agreements we mentioned before, they are still valid. We have recently been reducing our troops on a large scale. The prices of tanks and armed helicopters are cheap and affordable, and there are also quantity discounts. Everything can be negotiated. Mr. Kaifu Junki, please consider it." Pavlov added, "And those weapons are not foreign trade versions, they are the essence of the original Soviet Union."
There are many countries and organizations that are eyeing the large-scale arms sales from the Soviet Union. Some of them are even illegal organizations that are not recognized by the international community, such as the Path of Glory in Peru and the notorious Escobar Group in Colombia. Because Yanayev's order to Victor Bout is that any organization can come to buy arms except the direct opponents of the Soviet Union. Of course, illegal organizations can only trade in cash on the spot. The unrestricted trade has brought Victor's talent for arms trafficking to its fullest. The amount of arms transactions completed in just a few days has reached 300 million US dollars. It is expected to break his highest record of stealing and selling arms for 2 billion US dollars after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
So Japan was given special care by the Soviet leaders, and it was not clear whether it should cry or laugh. Its economic aid ended up being arms sales to other countries. Kaifu Toshiki smiled bitterly and said, "You mean the Soviet Union provoked the armistice agreement while telling us that the Soviets came from Russia with peace? And sold second-hand arms to strengthen Japan's armed forces?"
"What else? I remember there is an organization called the Red Army in Japan. I heard that since 1979, their actions have suffered a mental blow and have entered a low ebb. Of course, they regard the Japanese government and our Soviet Union as enemies, but they are also an out-and-out extreme left-wing force. If the Soviet government puts aside its past grievances and cooperates with them in a friendly manner, what do you think will happen to Japan?"
Pavlov added another sentence that made Kaifu Toshiki's eyelids jump, "Ah, let me think about it, Japan will probably encounter terrorist attacks every day by then. But I think the worst off will be the urns in the Yasukuni Shrine, which will probably be blown to pieces by bombs."
"Does this count as a threat?" Kaifu Junshu narrowed his eyes and looked at the calm Prime Minister Pavlov with a terrifying look. But the other party was unmoved and continued to speak to himself, "Of course not, Your Excellency. We just want to tell you who the potential targets of Soviet arms sales are. For us, doing business with you and doing business with the Red Army are the same. If you don't buy, they will buy. If our relationship deteriorates, the Red Army will get more weapons subsidies, so."
Pavlov, who continued to wage psychological warfare, stretched himself and paused before saying, "Think about it yourself."
The Soviet arms sales that have abandoned ideological confrontation are like a businessman with no moral bottom line. As long as you give him enough money, he will sell you deadly weapons without any pressure. The business will not be terminated because of the Japanese government's intervention in the arms business. At most, he will not sell biological and chemical weapons to the Red Army, but will sell a few more Kalashnikov rifles and RPG shoulder-fired rockets.
Just when Kaibu Junshu was at a loss, Pavlov muttered to himself, "Oh, Bozruz Island needs to be renovated again, and the stocks of **, ** and Soman inside are running out. We have to move out a batch of old ones to accommodate the new biological and chemical weapons."
Kaifu Junshu took a deep breath and softened his tone. "Okay, I agree to your request. Let's temporarily put aside the dispute over the territory. As for the arms sales, I hope the Soviet government can give us a reasonable and favorable price. Of course, we don't want a batch of high-end weapons to fall into the hands of the enemy."
It was obvious that he was tempted and wanted to strengthen the armed forces of the Self-Defense Forces, but he insisted on pretending that Japan purchased weapons and armaments under the coercion of the Soviet Union. Pavlov gave this hypocritical prime minister a middle finger in his heart.
"Japan is a reserved little bitch. Don't expect to successfully conclude an arms deal with them. After all, there is the shadow of American imperialism behind them. They will definitely come out to disrupt things. But if the deal can be completed, that would be the best. If not, that doesn't matter. Anyway, we still have potential customers in Japan, the Red Army and the Aum Church. These people are eager to get weapons support from us." Yanaev's previous analysis and summary of Japan's current situation was very detailed.
What would happen if these two extreme terrorist organizations really overthrew the rule of the Japanese government? Yanayev has always maintained a gloating vision.
"Tell your Soviet planes to withdraw from the airspace near Hokkaido, Japan now, otherwise we will not make any deal with you." The prime minister, who had lost his confidence, also gave orders to his opponent in a humble tone. This is the world of fighting with fists.
"Of course, in fact, they are just a very ordinary patrol." Prime Minister Pavlov, whose mission had been completed, stood up and said goodbye to Kaifu Junshu. "The agreement will be signed tomorrow. I hope you can have a good sleep tonight."
The time for the show was almost up. According to the original flight plan of the Backfire bomber, it was now preparing to turn around and return to Vladivostok. As the navigator, the Backfire bomber sent a signal to the escorting Su-27 fighter. Before leaving, Yanaev didn't mind playing tricks on the two F2 fighters behind him.
At Yanayev's instruction, the Su-27 and Backfire bombers simultaneously released heat-seeking bombs called "Angels of Death" from their tails. The burning magnesium powder lit up the dark night sky like a fleeting meteor, and the flames burning in the air left a visible scratch. Just like the pure white wings of Archangel Michael, they also symbolized bloody killing.
The pilots of the two F2 fighters behind them were scared to death, thinking that the Soviet Air Force was finally going to declare war. Just as they put their hands on the cannon firing button, the enemy changed course and quietly flew into the dark world outside the Japanese airspace, leaving behind only the magnificent view of the two wings.
"Is this a show of force?" the pilot of one of the F2 fighters muttered to himself. He watched the three planes leave his sight before returning to the air force base in Hokkaido. Although the situation was finally resolved satisfactorily, everyone still felt a sense of frustration in their hearts.
On the Soviet side, Yanaev greeted the leaders of the Nakhodka Air Force Base who were worried and said that the situation had ended successfully. When they heard Yanaev say, "Operation 'The Third Wrath of Rome' was successfully completed. I repeat, Operation 'The Third Wrath of Rome' was successfully completed.", everyone in the command room cheered and clapped their hands to celebrate.
The code name for this operation was also the result of Yanaev's decision against all others. Originally, others wanted to use a code name closely related to the Soviet Union, but Yanaev insisted on using the title of the Third Rome headed by the Orthodox Church, in order to coincide with the angel's wings in the last scene.
And that wing also has a deeper metaphor in Yanaev's mind. Half of it is the holy angel's halo, and half of it is the evil devil's wings. The angel of death with the heads of sinners hanging in his hands will use blood and sword to rebuild a new empire in the darkness and decadence.
All this is just the beginning.
