Tokyo Detective

Chapter 418 The Death of Naoki Hanyu
"hiss"

Many people gasped in shock. America also condemned the Youth Salvation Society, classifying it as a terrorist organization. They were surprised that the other side had even managed to acquire power armor.

Even America doesn't have a proper powered armor, so where would a mere terrorist get powered armor? Is this even the real world?

Moreover, this armor is different from the Thor 1 which is currently being assembled, or the armor used to assassinate the president some time ago. Could it be that it was developed by Japan?

Just then, Samsung Lieutenant General Mike Anser suddenly spoke up.

"Tell the Japanese Ministry of Defense that because there is a potential threat to the base, we can take responsibility for dealing with terrorist organizations, as a perk of the protection fees they pay every year."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and the chief of staff hurriedly asked.

"Commander, logically speaking, we shouldn't interfere since this happened inland. What are your thoughts?"

"Don't you think it's strange that powered armor appears on Japanese soil? If Japan really developed its own powered armor, it might make it more difficult for us to station troops in Japan in the future. Moreover, I don't think Congress would want to see a new type of powered armor."

Upon hearing this, the chief of staff hesitated for two seconds.

"That makes sense. Our government doesn't want the weapons Japan independently develops to be too powerful. Are we going to send in the army to make arrests now?"

"No, it's hard to say about the combat effectiveness of powered armor. Besides sending out Marines, we can use Mk45 naval guns for precision strikes."

The chief of staff was dumbfounded. Using a destroyer's Mk45 naval gun to shoot at Japan's territory? That's too outrageous!

"McAnser said again in a deep voice."

"Do you think you can completely control powered armor with just the Marine Corps? I learned from high-ranking military officials that such powered armor costs more than main battle tanks, and the individual combat capability of a soldier is comparable to that of an armored assault team. Do you want those tough guys to be killed or injured? Besides, as long as we get permission from the Japanese Ministry of Defense, the responsibility is not on my side."

"This...this isn't good. No matter the reason, attacking Japan is going too far and will cause a lot of trouble."

Michael Anser didn't care. He was terminally ill and the Pentagon would fire him in six months at most. He had no family left and didn't care about anything. He just wanted to repay his boss for his kindness.

"I am the commander. I will take responsibility for any incidents. Please execute this order immediately."

"I think it would be better to talk to the Pentagon first."

"Are you disobeying my orders, Chief of Staff?"

Faced with his superior's fierce gaze, the chief of staff cowered.

"Yes."

Thus, America's Third Fleet began to move, and the Marine Corps, which had been idle for decades, finally experienced actual combat on Japanese soil for the first time.

As for why MacAnser issued these orders, it was because he saw Naoki Hanyu. This man was someone his superior had specifically instructed him to kill and take the body if given the chance.

This is the opportunity we've been waiting for.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Defense Minister, who had recently knelt down again, received more bad news.

"What? Those guys from the Youth Salvation Association brazenly attacked the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry's house?"

"Yes, according to the latest intelligence, the criminals also have power armor and are currently fighting with Naoki Hanyu. The battle is fierce and evenly matched."

Kitada Shinji was taken aback. He actually had connections with that guy?
Why is Naoki Hanyu there?

"Not long ago, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries applied to the Cabinet to appoint Naoki Hanyu as his bodyguard, and you were there at the time."

"correct."

Shinji Kitada was indeed present at the time, but he couldn't concentrate on listening because he was about to perform a second dogeza (a traditional Japanese prostration ceremony). He never expected that the man known as the strongest dragon in Japan would fight with the power armor again.

"Arrange for the police to evacuate the surrounding residents, and then have the defense forces stationed at Yokosuka Port take action. This time, we must not let those extremists escape."

"Yes."

Just then, the messenger brought unexpected news.

"Minister, the America Command at Yokosuka Port has sent a message saying that attacks by extremist groups have affected port security and they hope that we will allow them to intervene."

"The American army?" Kitada Shinji hesitated, but the staff officer next to him, who usually had a good relationship with the commander of the American garrison, spoke up for him.

"America's army is only 3 kilometers away, while the defense force is 11 kilometers away. I'm afraid those thugs will escape. You know, Yokosuka Port has a lot of people living there."

"."

Kitada Shinji was having a fierce internal struggle. Logically, he shouldn't let America's army get involved, since this was his homeland and the people would definitely object.

But if America doesn't get involved, and those extremists run away again after causing trouble, should I perform a third dogeza (a deep bowing ritual)?
Former Tanaka Juzo also ended his political career after his third dogeza (a type of Buddhist prayer). Even though he is now serving as the president of an agricultural company, his political career will probably be over after his third dogeza.

Ultimately, Shinji Kitada made his decision.

"We replied that the Ministry of Defense had given permission and asked them not to cause civilian casualties."

"Yes."

On the other hand, when the Ministry of Defense's reply reached McAnser's ears, the three-star lieutenant general couldn't help but smile.

"Fire immediately."

"Yes."

As the home of the American Navy, Ichome Port currently houses several warships, including three Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers (DDG-65, 69, and 118) and one amphibious command ship.

The most terrifying thing is the behemoth in the port, the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, which is 332 meters long and has a displacement of 97,000 tons, which is more than all other warships combined. Because it is on combat duty, four F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets are parked on its deck.

At this moment, alarms sounded throughout the port. Some people were at a loss, but they still rushed back to their posts. Only those guys who were still playing outside remained.

A crew member on the aircraft carrier deck quickly noticed an incredible scene: two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers not far away had begun to rotate their guns, and the muzzles were pointed at the city.

"Hey, what's going on? Has the Japanese rebelled?"

Although the staff member didn't understand what was going on and knew he shouldn't have done what he was doing, he couldn't help but take out his phone and film the scene. Damn it, I couldn't resist taking a picture.

A few seconds later, spectacular flames suddenly erupted from the two main guns of the two warships, and two shells were fired at the target.

The staff were dumbfounded.

"They actually dared to fire the cannon."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Naoki Hanyu and his avatar, who were about to finish, froze as they sensed a deadly danger approaching at high speed.

Without hesitation, the two cooperated by smashing the road surface and diving into the sewer. The next second, a terrifying explosion engulfed the surrounding space, not only overturning the entire concrete ground but also blasting out two large craters.

The explosion not only buried the two people fighting, but also affected the remaining security personnel. Three people were killed instantly, and the rest suffered various injuries. Even the small dog mansion was damaged, with its glass and some structures shattered, and cracks appearing, turning it into a dangerous building.

"Help, help."

The scene was filled with wails, and the one directly hit by the naval guns probably had no chance of survival. Vice Admiral Michel Annse, who was three stars away, also thought so when he received the reply. Mission accomplished, at most a few unlucky souls were affected, wasn't that perfect?

Michael Anser's understanding is correct if the target is an ordinary person, but Naoki Hanyu is not an ordinary person.

At the bottom of the crater, Naoki Hanyu lay there in a pitiful state. At the last moment, he managed to retract his power armor into his spatial dimension and used his avatar as a shield.

But he died anyway; two naval gunshots would have killed him no matter what.

Fortunately, he has a skill he hasn't used in a long time, an A-level skill called Death Resistance, with a cooldown of half a month.

The skull, which had been completely disfigured and was now just a bone, was rapidly regaining its facial features. Other parts of the body were also recovering flesh and blood, and the broken bones, blood vessels, and nerves that had been evaporated were all rapidly regenerating.

In just 10 seconds, Naoki Hanyu went from being reduced to a gruesome state with only bones and a few fragments of internal organs to normal, but his expression was extremely ferocious, as his first death filled him with immense shock and rage.

"You all deserve to die, you all deserve to die."

He was clearly acting, and then suddenly he was killed by two cannonballs, physically obliterating him completely. Who could tolerate that?

Soon an American Marine Corps unit arrived to recover the spoils.
