November 24, 2023 05:00 (23:00 Russian time),
Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia.
Later that night, while sitting on a big cowhide sofa in the middle of the lounge, President Putin exhaled the Cuban cigar-rette smoke.
Whew~
As white smoke billowed into the air and dispersed in all directions, President Putin appeared to be in agony, leaving some serious decision behind.
“All military preparations have been completed. Furthermore, the military mutual protection treaty with New China has the potential to broaden the battlefield and disperse the South Korean military’s power. And the United States has pledged to support Russia politically and militarily; we will never have another chance like this. Among a slew of other cards with which we could rock Korea.”
President Putin while muttering to himself he organized his thoughts one by one after that he picked up the phone on the glass table to see if the preparations were completed. Then he pressed button one.
After a while, someone answered the phone, and the rough man’s voice could be heard.
-Yes, Mr. President!
Mikhail Ivanov, the Defense Minister, was the one who answered the phone.
“Proceed as planned.”
<ul>
Yes, I got it.
</ul>
President Putin, who gave a brief and clear order, hung up the phone and exhaled the cigar-rette smoke.
Whew~
A smile spread around President Putin’s mouth as white smoke spread through the air.

November 24, 2023 07:00 (Russian local time 07:00),
150km east of Vladivostok in Russia’s Primorsky district.
At 05:00 local time, all of the Pacific Fleet’s watercraft anchored at the Vladivostok naval base set sail, while the 16th Strategic Waters Squadron stood anti-submarine guard in nearby maritime waters and nuclear submarines of the 10th Atomic Division were on standby.
For three years, Russia spent 300 trillion won a year on defense thanks to its brilliant economic development, and it heavily invested in the Far East fleet to secure a position among the four forces in the Pacific Ocean.
Prior to the Northeast Asian War, the Far Eastern Fleet, which boasted powerful punches to the point where military experts say its strength alone would not be defeated by Japan’s three convoys, was now born with more powerful and frightening power as it modernized with cutting-edge equipment.
At the same time as re-entry, all three Kirov-class cruisers, which were first launched through modernization and outfitted with 200 supersonic anti-ship missiles and 100 hypersonic anti-ship missiles per ship, were assigned to the Far East fleet.
Furthermore, the S-500 Triumpatter anti-aircraft defense radar was developed as a ship-based phase array radar, and four of the eight newly-dried 21st-century rear-class vessels were deployed to the Far East fleet.
When the first ship, the Lieder cruiser, was launched in 2019, the Russian Navy boasted to the world that it was better than the US Navy’s Isis radar.
Except for these three powerful Kirov-class cruisers, four Lider-class cruisers, and one Slava-class cruiser, a single fleet would consist of four Sobremeni-class destroyers, four Woodaloy-class destroyers, ten patrol ships responsible for coastal boundaries, and six landing ships.
There were also 20 modernized or newly constructed SSBN nuclear submarines and 10 conventional SSN submarines. The Far East fleet was literally a force equal to or greater than the naval power of most countries.
All of the Far East fleet’s watercrafts, which are a single fleet with a massive scale, left Vladivostok’s military port and were now sailing at high speed across the southeast coast at 150 kilometers east of the sea.
“Will the Korean fleet block our way?”
The commander of the Far East Fleet, Admiral Valerie Karpin, who boarded the ADMIRAL Lazarev (CG-181) ship with Captain Marat Izmilov, asked the question. The Far East Fleet had been sailing through the dark waves since early in the morning.
“Wouldn’t that be the case? Isn’t this operation established on the premise of engaging the Korean fleet?”
“Hu-hu, yes, it was....”
Admiral Valerie Carpin clapped his tongue and blurted the end of his speech in response to Captain Marat Izmilov’s comment.
” Admiral, are you worried because of this operation?”
Admiral Valerie Carpin only shook his head slightly when asked by the captain. He didn’t want to appear weak as an admiral in front of his subordinates in this situation where a massive naval battle could take place. However, instead of simply responding, he shook his head because he could not look down on the Korean navy as they were able to defeat not only China, but also Japan and the US Navy previously.
“Isn’t the power of our Far East fleet different now than it was before, Admiral? Perhaps we can destroy the entire Korean Navy.”
Captain Marat Izmilov stated confidently. Perhaps Admiral Valerie Carpin didn’t want to discourage him, so he got up from his chair, straightening his hat.
“I’ll be in my room for a while. If you get any additional information regarding the Korean fleet, please report it immediately.”
The captain saluted the admiral as he stepped off the bridge.
“Yes, sir. Please have a rest.”

CC Bunker Aerospace Force Control Center in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Space Patrol Agency Apollo 11).
In the past two hours, operators have been busy in the control room of Apollo 11, which is in charge of Russia’s Siberia district.
“The Far East fleet’s award-winning ships are all sailing! I believe they are going to Hokkaido.”
Lieutenant Colonel Na Tae-il, the commander of duty and operation control, called and delivered the report to Colonel Yoo Sang-rok, the chief of control, who rushed to work.
“Are you certain?”
On his way to work, he asked back while looking at the large screen in the center of the front seat in the control room.
“Yes, it sailed from Vladivostok on a northeasterly course. And the expected route analysis identifies it as Ishikari.”
“Ishikari? Isn’t it the closest port city to Sapporo?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I don’t think it’s just training. What about the fleet size?”
Colonel Yoo Sang-rok, bit his lower lip and asked more questions because he had an uneasy feeling. Lt. Col. Na Tae-il, who was preparing ahead of time, sent an autograph to the lieutenant operator next to him. As a result, information on all of the suspicious ships in the Far East fleet appeared one by one on the first screen.
“It’s unusual to have seven combat cruisers weighing more than 10,000 tons, eight destroyers weighing 7,000 tons, six landing ships, and three military support ships... It’s not just training or a show of force, as expected. Do you think they’ll land in Hokkaido?”
Colonel Yoo Sang-rok swiped sweat from his brow with his sleeve as he scanned every piece of information on the screen with his eyes carefully.
“Rather than a suspicious submarine, the problem is it appears to be a Russian submarine.”
“Yes! There were 20 nuclear submarines that always operated alongside the Far East fleet....”
“Did you make a report to the boss?”
“Yes, I contacted the controller and reported it to the integration center right away.”
“Well, then, we should look into the submarine’s power.”
“Yes, two Ares patrol satellites are urgently deployed.”
“All right! Then we’ll just have to keep an eye on that suspicious Far East fleet.”
While discussions were taking place in the control room, the Far East fleet’s water ships continued to march toward Ishikari, Hokkaido, at a steady pace.

B2 bunker in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea (the situation room of the Joint Command Control Center).
After receiving the report from overseas reconnaissance bureau director Yoo Dong-hoon, each military commander arrived at the B2 bunker joint command control center early in the morning to monitor the situation in the operation room.
Each county’s information was linked and displayed in real time on all screens in the operation room. Among them, screen 1 depicted the suspicious nature of the Far East Fleet, which was captured in real time by combining data from Apollo 11.
Even though in the recent years, the Far East fleet has conducted several large-scale exercises. All of the commanders gathered in the operation room wore worried and ominous expressions, as if they weren’t feeling well today.
However, the Joint Chiefs of Staff had long been prepared to defend the Far Eastern Fleet’s invasion of Hokkaido in the event of an emergency.
The 7th Air Force, anchored in Hakodate Port, headed north to form a first line of defense by blocking the Far Eastern Fleet’s route, while the 1st Fleet departed to attack the Far Eastern Fleet’s rear.
If the defense line failed, the 3rd Marine Mechanization Division, which is in charge of the entire Hokkaido region, was tasked with dealing with ground or airborne forces as soon as they landed.
The 7th Air Force departed from Hakodate Port and sailed to Seojin across Hokkaido as soon as the basic Hokkaido defense plan was established.
“I don’t feel very good today,”
“Chairman, too? I have bad thoughts as well.”
Vice Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Kim Yong-hyun, who was watching various screens together with him, responded.
“You were feeling the same way, Bay One, If the Far East fleet ventures beyond their territorial waters toward Hokkaido, the 7th Air Force should launch an immediate blocking operation!”
“Yes, sir.”
Lieutenant General Yang Min-choon, who was waiting for the vice Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff’s instructions, replied.
“Can the 1st Fleet proceed with the existing plan without a hitch?”
“Yes, you can call a destroyer squadron from the fleet’s east coast of security operations into action. The rest of the patrol ships and military support ships are sailing from Pohang right now.”
Lieutenant General Yang Min-choon answered the question without hesitation.
“what about the troops stationed in Hokkaido?”
Lieutenant General Yang Min-chun responded to the question as well, after sending an autograph to the operator in charge of screen number 2.
“Please take a look at the second screen. The 12th Mechanized Brigade of the 3rd Marine Corps Division is currently stationed in Sapporo, Hokkaido. In addition, the 11th Panzer Brigade, which is stationed in Chitose, is preparing to relocate.”
“What about the rest?”
“The division headquarters and the 10th Panzer Brigade in Hakodate have been told to be ready to move at any time.”
“Good! Now, the 12th Brigade of the Satporeu should be stationed at the expected landing point, and the 11th Brigade should also heading to Satporeu to support them.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Did you find the submarine from the Russian Far East fleet?”
After completing his instructions, Vice-Marshal Shin Sung-yong turned his attention to the Russian submarine, which is the most concerning issue this time.
“two patrol the current Ares moon northeast region with a fine-tooth comb, but there is no submarine to track yet.”
“Well, Isn’t there a fleet of 20 nuclear submarines?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“in charge of patrolling the west and south toward the northeast by sea to move the two Ares moons Also, fly all of the Navy’s current maritime patrol aircraft!”
At that time, Chief of Naval Operations General Lee Ki-hyung, presented his opinion.
“Isn’t that a bit much? The Far East fleet is still operating within its territorial waters. It may result in a military misunderstanding in which Russia overreacts. Beside ....”
“What’s wrong with being careful in war?”
Vice-Marshal Shin Sung-yong interrupted Lee Ki- hyung’s speech with a chastising tone.
“Ha ha, yes, but I’m saying this because I’ve been through a lot of this type of training.”
“I understand what you’re saying, and I’ll keep it in mind. Finally, what is the current status of our submarines?”
“Yes, the 11th Submarine Fleet’s four Hocula submarines and the 92nd Submarine Fleet’s five submarines are on anti-submarine alert.”
“All the rest of the 11th submarine fleet.”
“Yes, sir.”
