Tokyo Detective

Chapter 497 YMCA VS Revitalization Association

Mamoru Yamamoto is a member of the right-wing Japan Restoration Party, the third largest party in Japan, which has a strong presence in the Kinki region (especially Osaka). The party holds 23 seats in the House of Representatives and 31 seats in the House of Councillors, for a total of 54 seats.

It can be said that apart from the right wing within the two parties that take turns serving as chairpersons, it is the stronghold of the right wing in the entire country. Even the current far-right emerging party, the Republic of Korea Party, can only be called a younger brother in front of the Japan Reform Party.

This cabinet formation is quite different from the past. Normally, the ruling party would not consider forming a cabinet with a right-wing party, but this time the right-wing voices within the ruling party (the Justice and People's Party) are too strong, so the two parties have to discuss the idea of ​​forming a new party.

If the two parties do eventually unite to form a two- or three-party government, it would prove that Japan is rapidly shifting to the right. Since World War II, the ruling party has never formed a government with the right wing.

Speaking of the fact that right-wing parties have been able to develop at an above-average rate in recent years, we should thank Naoki Hanyu for stirring up trouble. Only when there is domestic turmoil will society turn to the right so quickly, and it is either an economic problem or something else.

Mamoru Yamamoto, a member of parliament, is also a representative of the far right in the Japan Innovation Party, and his political platform is very similar to that of most far-right groups.

They use the slogan "Japanese First" to emphasize the exclusion of foreign nationals and restrict immigration and foreign workers.

They have a clear anti-globalization stance and oppose the mysterious Eastern superpower. Among their supporters, there are even extreme remarks against neighboring countries, such as calling for America to drop nuclear bombs.

They advocate nativism and economic protectionism, and oppose the traditional policies of the Liberal Democratic Party.

Claiming that if elected, he would drive away all of America's military bases, and saying that America's control over Japan was too severe, is very similar to the YMCA's claims.

The frequent release of Japanese films about World War II in theaters in recent months has been seen as an attempt to whitewash Japan's aggression during the war. This is fueled by the Japan Restoration Party and even has deep ties with several shady religions operating in Japan.

Therefore, the Restoration Party is the perfect target for Naoki Hanyu to take down, perfectly matching the mission of the America Terrorist Organization Promotion Association. After all, right-wingers may not be anti-American, but far-right individuals are definitely the most vocal in their anti-American stance.

Most importantly, the attack was not difficult, and the security for members of the Reform Party was less than half that of the other two parties.

"Click"

Naoki Hanyu walked into the villa with his knife in hand, ignoring the stunned people at the security booth.

The security guard finally reacted and tried to notify others, but when he picked up the phone, he heard a loud bang, looked up and saw a huge long knife split the guard booth in two, and the man's head was also cut off.

"Long"

The sound of the security booth collapsing still woke up the people inside, and even the neighbors turned on their lights.

Naoki Hanyu flicked the blood off the blade. He had ordered the knife from the dark web; it was made of a tungsten-based super-strong alloy, a new type of tungsten-titanium composite material from the great Eastern power.

With a tensile strength of up to 6000MPa, which is 10 times that of ordinary steel, and a hardness close to that of diamond, it is extremely resistant to high temperatures. Unless it reaches temperatures above 3000 degrees Celsius, you won't be able to melt it. It also does not have the "brittleness" defect of traditional tungsten alloys.

The long sword is shaped like a samurai sword, is 3 meters long and weighs 300 kilograms. It is a deadly weapon that can cut through steel with a single strike.
.
Just then, the 10 security personnel who had come to their senses finally appeared with weapons. Upon seeing that the enemy was a powered armored vehicle, they turned pale with fright, as they had seen the power of powered armored vehicles in the video.

The captain barely managed to compose himself and shouted.

"Don't panic. Lure the enemy inside and deal with them there. They won't be able to use their swords or their movements there."

Before the security captain could finish speaking, he saw the power armor rushing towards him at a speed of no less than 120 kilometers per hour. Before he could react, the long sword had already sliced ​​through the load-bearing wall, cutting through both cement and steel bars in one swift motion without slowing down at all.

The security captain was cut in half at the waist, and before he died, he could only watch helplessly as his lower body bled.

How can it be?

The security guard, who had just set up his sniper rifle, was startled and his pupils constricted slightly, but he still aimed at the other person's head and fired.

"Die, you monster."

Naoki Hanyu naturally sensed a slight sense of danger and instantly used Bullet Time, increasing his dynamic vision and brain nerve reaction speed by more than three times.

The long sword swept across, leaving a silver crescent in its wake, and the sniper rifle bullet was split in two by the blade.

"How can it be."

The next second, the power armor moved through the room with incredible speed and appeared next to the sniper, startling him so much that he quickly hid behind a load-bearing pillar. This pillar was more than twice as thick as the load-bearing wall, and he couldn't believe he could cut it down.

"boom"

The long knife cut 5 centimeters into the ground, and the supporting column and the person were naturally split in two.

The remaining people dared not resist any longer and all fled for their lives; those who were slow to run were all killed.

[Ding! Intentional homicide, 5-star Sin level]

"What happened? Where are they?"

Mamoru Yamamoto, wearing a coat, walked downstairs. He was wearing earplugs because of sleep problems, and he wouldn't have known he woken up if the building hadn't shaken.

Soon, Mamoru Yamamoto's expression froze. What came into view was a scene that resembled hell. Several mutilated bodies lay in the hall, the hall stained with blood, and in the middle of the hall stood a 2.5-meter-tall metal giant staring at him.

Naoki Hanyu said calmly as he saw the target appear.

"Hello, Mamoru Yamamoto."

As Yamamoto Mamoru looked at the blood-stained armor, his legs trembled uncontrollably.

"Who are you? I don't think I've offended anyone."

"Really? Are you sure you haven't offended anyone?"

Naoki Hanyu removed his helmet, revealing a handsome white face. This was his disguise as a mercenary who had previously poached the White Catastrophe from the Ocean.

“I am the Holy Judge of the Revival Society. Do you feel any remorse for your hostility towards America?”

"I repent, please don't kill me."

Mamoru Yamamoto knelt on the ground and kept begging. Normally, he could manage to shout slogans and influence public opinion, but when faced with a real threat of death, all dignity and bottom lines disappeared.

Naoki Hanyu raises a three-meter-long sword and speaks in American English.

“Repentance is destruction. On behalf of the Zhenxing Society Tribunal, I declare you guilty.”

"No"

With a flash of light, Yamamoto Mamoru's head rolled to the ground. Hanyu Naoki glanced at the surveillance footage, put his helmet back on, and disappeared into the night. There was still work to be done; a successful start couldn't be achieved by targeting just one beast.

Three minutes later, police from Arakawa Ward rushed over; even the warden came because it was a senator in trouble.

Chief Arakawa was shocked to see so many marks left by long swords. What was going on? It wasn't the scene of bullets everywhere he had imagined, but rather marks that looked like they were made by cold weapons. Could it be a monster?

His subordinates quickly came to report.

"Chief, come and take a look at the surveillance footage."

Chief Arakawa hurriedly watched the surveillance footage, and the more he watched, the more horrified he felt, as there was even a recording.

Repentance is destruction
Chief Arakawa had seen the video, but he just thought of it as something to talk about; who knew it would be real?

"How is that possible? Could it be that America's terrorist organization has really invaded Japan?"

To Chief Arakawa, it was utterly absurd. The YMCA's core support base could barely be accepted in Japan, given that it had already happened. But how could a terrorist organization from America appear?

Chief Arakawa felt his head was spinning and could only report it; this was no longer something he could handle.

Just then, his subordinates reported more bad news.

"Something terrible has happened. Representative Koichi Yoshida was attacked on the Arakawa Highway. He claims the attacker was a powered armored vehicle."

The road beside the Arakawa River was in complete chaos, with right-wing lawmaker Koichi Yoshida shouting.

"Hurry up and reverse, hurry up."

The driver also panicked.

"But there are cars behind us."

"Then drive onto the sidewalk."

The driver was in an even more difficult position. There were many people on the sidewalk just now, and even if he had driven most of them, there were still some. Was he supposed to just run them over? Did the councilor not even want his position anymore?
"How about we walk?"

"How could we possibly outrun powered armor?" "This..."

Yoshida Tsuneo saw that even a mere driver dared to disobey instructions, so he immediately grabbed the steering wheel.

"Hurry up, who's paying your salary?"

Yoshida Koichi wasn't alarmed until he saw the scene before him; it was terrifying.

Suddenly, a figure appeared and cleaved a Crown B6 armored car in two with a single slash. The two security guards in the driver's seat were instantly killed. This was a B6, which could withstand bullets from ordinary submachine guns.

The car quickly drove onto the sidewalk and ran over a woman who had fallen.

But the next second, the roof of the car was suddenly dented by a heavy object. Naoki Hanyu jumped onto the car, his hands bulging with muscle. Then, with a flash of light, the entire B7 bulletproof Crown was split in two. This was a bulletproof car that could withstand heavy machine gun fire for a short time.

The fuel tank was cut open, and sparks from the friction of the metal ignited the gasoline. Naoki Hanyu calmly left amidst the flames and disappeared into the dark surface of the Arakawa River.

Shortly afterward, the special mobile force rushed to the scene again. They were notified to arrive within 3 minutes, but they were still caught off guard.

Even the deployment of armed helicopters, which circled around Arakawa, proved utterly ineffective.

The attack that killed two members of Congress in one night has reignited the uproar in Japan, which had just been calm for a month, making headlines across all television channels.

Many people on the internet suspect that the YMCA is carrying out the crime under a different guise, but there's no reason for that. The YMCA's style doesn't seem like that of killing without warning; even the interim prime minister announced the killing beforehand.

Soon after, the "Youth Association" also released its own video, still with a spokesperson named Wu.

"Today, two members of the Japanese parliament were attacked by an unknown force. The Youth Salvation Association will not allow any force to disrupt the stability of Japan. I don't care who you are, or whether you are from America's revitalization association or not. For the future of Japan, the Youth Salvation Association has decided to declare war on the invading forces."

The new Defense Minister, Inoue Kaede, also organized a press conference on the spur of the moment. He originally planned to speak first thing tomorrow morning, but since the Youth Salvation Association had already spoken out, the government could not wait.

"Please rest assured, our government will destroy the new terrorist organization as soon as possible."

After a string of meaningless platitudes, it was time for the Q&A session, and a foreign journalist asked a question.

"Minister Inoue, is the perpetrator a terrorist from the Revitalization Society, or still a member of the YMCA?"

Inoue Kaede didn't know how to answer for a moment, because he didn't know either.

"We have made a major discovery, but we cannot disclose it to the public."

This annoyed the reporters. "Do we want to hear you say this?"
Then a reporter raised a pointed question.

"If the attackers are indeed America's revitalization group, has the government considered cooperating with the YMCA? Even if the enemy of my enemy is not my ally, we can still cooperate. Let's deal with the attackers first."

"."

Inoue Kaede was completely stunned. As a "young man" who had become a minister at the age of 47, he wondered if he had misheard.

I had anticipated that this position would be difficult, but I never imagined that I would feel so bad when facing the pressure.

He questioned the YMCA's qualifications to cooperate with the government, suspecting the reporter's ulterior motives and wanting to denounce the YMCA as parasites of Japan.

But Inoue Kaede dared not. The Yonko had killed more than one minister; they even dared to kill the interim prime minister. He feared that if he spoke out, the Yonko would issue a decree of divine retribution that very night, and he would be found dead in the street the next day.

"Our government will not compromise with any force. We ask the public to have confidence in the government. Here we will announce the identity of the attackers."

A person's image appeared on the projector; it was the surveillance footage of the person Naoki Hanyu was impersonating, along with some personal photos.

"The attacker is from America, Florida, named Connor Miller, and is a former mercenary. If anyone sees him, please notify the police immediately, as he is extremely dangerous."

Although no substantial statement was received from the government, knowing the attacker's identity was barely enough.

The press conference ended just like that. Inoue Kaede couldn't help but sigh. He had already tasted the pressure of the position of Minister of Defense and felt fear at the thought that he might become the third Dogeza Minister.

Damn it, he only agreed to take the position because he saw that the previous Minister of Defense, although he had only served for a few months, had not caused any problems. Who knew that such a major incident would occur less than half a month after he took office?

Following Japan's statement, America's State Department also issued a statement.

"The attack has nothing to do with America, and there are no terrorist organizations in America. We do not rule out the possibility that the Japanese terrorist organization Yonhap is fabricating the incident."

America's message is simple: regardless of whether it involves any of America's organizations, they're issuing a statement first.

Just when everyone thought nothing would happen that night, before dawn at 5 a.m., the new Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism was attacked.

The lead vehicle in her convoy was dented by the powered armor that fell from the sky and then sliced ​​in two.

The only female minister in the cabinet, Mizuki Ueto, exchanged a glance with the power armor and felt a chill run down her spine. Fortunately, the security personnel were quick to help her retreat.

"Minister Ueto, please come with us into the building. If we delay for just 3 minutes, the special mobile force will arrive."

"oh, I understand now."

The next second, something unexpected happened. A grenade was fired at the "Holy Arbiter," but it was slashed to pieces by his long sword.

"boom"

The security personnel who were still fighting were completely bewildered. What was going on?
A new powered armored figure appeared not far from the road, standing 3 meters tall and with a familiar design.

"Heaven will punish you."

Those present didn't know whether to be happy or not, but they all breathed a sigh of relief, since it seemed that the Heavenly Punishment was aimed at the Holy Arbiter.

As the dust settled, it was clear that the Arbiter's armor was largely undamaged, but the longsword was visibly slightly bent, indicating that the shoulder cannon was unlikely to seriously damage the powered armor unless it hit directly.

The Arbitrator spoke in American English.

"Heavenly Punishment? I didn't expect that instead of me going to find you, you delivered yourself to my door. Don't think you're the best in the world just because you killed a few pieces of trash."

Tianzhu did not respond to the question, but instead shouted loudly.

"In a duel, the winner leaves, and the loser dies."

The metal giant charged towards the enemy with its legs, holding a shield in its left hand and a sword in its right, clearly intending to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The Holy Arbiter did not back down and charged towards the opponent.

In an instant, the longsword struck the shield, but it lacked the sharp edge that was usually invincible. It only dented the shield slightly, and the blade curled up at the same time. However, the sound of the two colliding was very jarring.

The Holy Arbiter also raised his arm shield to block the Heavenly Punishment's strike, and the two engaged in a back-and-forth battle of cold weapons.

The sight of one of the most advanced modern weapons clashing with cold weapons was captivating to those around, but unfortunately it wasn't daytime and the lights made it difficult to see clearly.

47-year-old Ueto Mizuki and her bodyguard secretly came to the window to watch, and she couldn't help but ask the female bodyguard next to her, who was said to have a high level of martial arts.

"Miyu, who do you think will win?"

"I think Tianzhu has the upper hand."

The battle unfolded as Tianzhu used his shield to deliver a powerful shield bash, sending the Holy Arbiter flying and even causing him to drop his longsword.

Seeing this, Ueto Mizuki clenched her fists. If she had been hostile to the YMCA before, even if she didn't dare to say it, her opinion had changed after being saved by them. Perhaps the YMCA wasn't so bad after all.

If the Japanese government had such an armed force, it wouldn't have fallen into a situation where any organization dared to run rampant in Japan.

Just then, the sound of armored vehicle tires filled the air, and the special mobile force, which was always late, finally arrived, its 25mm cannons firing in advance.

"bang bang bang bang"

The arrival of the outsiders successfully pushed the Tianzhu, which had been dominating the fight, to the brink of defeat. The two power armors locked eyes and then chose to flee in different directions.

So the police chased, the power armor escaped, and eventually disappeared from sight.

Although this news wasn't as sensational as last night's, it still convinced most people that the YMCA wasn't staging the whole thing.

Ordinary people are fine, but some members of parliament are trembling with fear because America recently supported the opposition party, which forced them to say a few bad things about America in order to win votes. Will they also be put on the confession list?
