The moment the Russian aircraft carrier battle group appeared, the situation on the battlefield started turning against Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force.
However, the nightmare was just beginning!
In addition to the aircraft carrier battle group, the Russian Pacific Fleet had also preemptively deployed Akula-class attack submarines and Oscar-class cruise missile submarines at a depth of 400 meters. At this very moment, they joined the battle!
And their numbers were far greater than the two submarines the Japanese forces had detected. In reality, there were a total of seven submarines, all hidden in the deep sea, making them nearly impossible to detect, even with sonar buoys or sonar arrays.
"Vice Admiral Kazuo Itada! Our radar has just detected seven Russian attack submarines in the nearby waters! Their torpedo tubes are already locked onto our fleet!"
Compared to the arrival of the aircraft carrier battle group, the sudden appearance of seven attack submarines, like ghosts in the deep sea, sent a chill down the spine of Japan's naval officers.
These Russian fourth-generation cruise missile submarines were armed with 3M-45 Granit (SS-N-19 Shipwreck) anti-ship missiles. If equipped with nuclear warheads, their warheads had a nuclear depth charge yield of 200 kilotons, with a maximum explosive power equivalent to 10,000 tons of TNT!
"Get me on the phone with the Prime Minister immediately! This is an emergency!" Vice Admiral Itada's face turned pale as he stared at the radar screen. If this were an actual battlefield, their entire fleet of 30 warships would have already been wiped out by the Russian forces.
"Vice Admiral! The Prime Minister's line is busy—we can't get through!" the anxious deputy commander reported.
Originally, Japan had planned to flex its naval might in this exercise, showcasing its military strength to South Korea, North Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and other neighboring countries—proving that Japan was the dominant military power in Asia.
However, the exercise had not even officially begun before they suffered setback after setback. This was not only a military failure but also a national embarrassment—a humiliation that would surely invite ridicule from the entire world.
"Keep calling!" Vice Admiral Itada had lost all composure. Sweat dripped from his forehead as panic set in.
He could only hope that the Prime Minister would order the immediate cancellation of the naval exercise before their entire fleet was annihilated.
Fortunately, three minutes later, the Prime Minister's office finally issued an order to the Maritime Self-Defense Force: All warships must immediately return to base.
Within ten minutes, the once-arrogant fleet of 30 Japanese warships turned tail and fled in disgrace.
To celebrate this victory, Captain Pavel of the Russian fleet gave a special order—to fire a dozen naval artillery shells in the direction of the retreating Japanese fleet, marking the official conclusion of Russia's own "military exercise."
The contrast was striking:
While Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force abruptly halted its exercise, the Russian Pacific Fleet fired a triumphant salute to signify their undisputed victory.
After the battle, three Russian fishing boats casually entered the area and began collecting dead marine life—after all, they couldn't let these creatures die in vain.
In a way, even these sea creatures could be considered "heroes" of the battle.

### Meanwhile, in the Kremlin…
At that moment, a call came through for Mavi.
"Mr. Mavi! We have major news for you!"
"Just now, the Japanese Prime Minister ordered the Maritime Self-Defense Force to withdraw from the naval exercise!"
"Moreover, the Japanese government has requested negotiations, hoping we will withdraw the four Tu-95 strategic bombers circling the Japanese archipelago. Judging by their tone, they seem to be backing down. They are even considering releasing the detained Russian citizens—your men."
The female secretary on the phone spoke in an elegant, pleasant voice.
Hearing this great news, Mavi—who had been anxiously waiting at home—let out a sigh of relief.
"Really? That's fantastic! Thank you!" Mavi responded excitedly.
Although this whole conflict had started because his subordinates were accidentally caught up in the Russo-Japanese Kuril Islands dispute, he still felt the need to express his gratitude.
At that moment, Mavi made a decision in his heart:
Once his men were safely returned, he would donate a large sum of money to support the Russian Pacific Fleet, the Northern Fleet, and the other four naval fleets—a gesture of appreciation for their help.
"You're welcome, Mr. Mavi. This is simply our duty! And we truly appreciate everything you have done for Russia!" the female secretary added.
Her words reflected the Russian government's high regard for Mavi.
Because of his significant contributions over the past year, the Russian government was willing to go to great lengths to help him. It wasn't just about national pride—it was also about repaying a favor.
"Thank you!"
Through this Russo-Japanese standoff, Mavi deeply understood one thing—having a powerful nation behind you is invaluable.
If this had happened in South Korea, the South Korean government would have been completely helpless, scrambling to seek assistance.
But Russia? Russia never backs down.
If Japan wanted a fight, Russia was more than ready to take them on.
After all, they weren't even afraid of the United States—why would they fear Japan?

### A Victory Without Fighting—A Triumph That Shocked the World
The news of the Russian Pacific Fleet and the Northern Fleet's victory over Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force spread like wildfire across the globe.
In Russia, nearly every television station interrupted its programming to broadcast this major news:
"Breaking News! At 4:55 PM today, the Russian Pacific Fleet, in coordination with the Northern Fleet, successfully countered Japan's naval provocation—defending Russia's status as a global military power!"
The female news anchor, filled with emotion, announced the victory with unparalleled enthusiasm.
This was the kind of news that filled Russian citizens with pride and united the nation. Even those who were usually serious and reserved couldn't contain their excitement.
Across Russia, fists were clenched, cheers erupted, and people celebrated this incredible victory.
But it wasn't just Russian citizens who felt elated—Russia's allies, including Ukraine and China, also sent congratulatory messages upon hearing the news.
On military forums in Ukraine and China, countless military enthusiasts started heated discussions about the intensity of the Russo-Japanese naval showdown.
"I heard from my journalist friend that the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force deployed 30 warships, including three Kongō-class destroyers, one Hyūga-class helicopter destroyer, one Izumo-class helicopter destroyer, sixteen Chikugo-class missile frigates, and nine anti-submarine ships."
"Originally, their fleet outnumbered Russia's Pacific Fleet three to one! But Japan never expected Russia to have seven nuclear-powered submarines lying in wait at a depth of 400 meters."
"When the Northern Fleet's carrier battle group arrived, they launched a three-way encirclement, scaring the Japanese fleet into a full retreat!"
This battle, though bloodless, resonated deeply with military enthusiasts around the world.
After a week of negotiations, the Japanese government ultimately decided to release the 18 detained Russian citizens—Mavi's bodyguards.
