Tokyo Detective

Chapter 531 Akiyama Akechi takes his seat

At the Wushan base, which had been reduced to ruins, missiles fell from the sky, the flashes of explosions lit up the ground, and bursts of metal fireballs erupted.

The armored units of the 2nd Infantry Division scurried away like rats, some hiding in the woods and others rushing into the ruins of buildings.

More than two hundred armored vehicles dispersed, looking like an ant nest being flooded.

James, the commander of the 2nd Division, was also frightened and got out of the command vehicle. He led the others to hide under a large bridge, carefully watching a fighter jet fly overhead, ignoring the fact that the stream water had already reached his waist.

"Damn it, those Korean planes are so easy to shoot down."

Originally, their 2nd Division had already recaptured Osan Air Base, erasing the shame of the US military stationed in South Korea. Unexpectedly, the next second they heard from the South Koreans that they had lost the air battle, with all 63 fighter jets wiped out, and the enemy still had about 30 fighter jets left.

James was so angry he wanted to kill someone. The Korean fighter jets were a bit old, but their missiles were a completely new generation, and they were wiped out.

If an infantry division, whose air defense capabilities were already weakened by the typhoon, were to lose air superiority, the consequences would be dire.

Now all the guesses have come true. While they were rescuing the wounded, more than a dozen fighter jets suddenly returned. The vanguard armored battalion was shot down one by one like a moving target and was quickly overwhelmed. Then the infantry battalion and even other battalions followed suit and fled.

The end result was the collapse of the Second Division.

how to spell?
At this moment, James regretted agreeing to the proposal to cancel the anti-aircraft guns back then. If they had an anti-aircraft gun battalion now, they wouldn't be completely helpless.

It must be admitted that the YMCA's tactics are destined to change America's, and even the world's, approach to air defense planning.

Above, 14 F1s recklessly launched Hellfire missiles and laser-guided bombs, turning slow-moving armored units into fireballs. Their plan was to use up all their missiles and then die there.

Hellfire missiles destroyed tanks and infantry fighting vehicles that were fleeing in panic, until the system suddenly issued a warning.

[Ding! The top-tier title quest "Lord of War" has been activated.]

[Lord of War: Defeat a nation's entire army, navy, and air force.]

[1: Destroyed over a hundred aircraft: 121/100]

[Part Two: Defeat a Modern Infantry Division: 1/1]

[Part 3: Defeat a naval formation consisting of 5 warships. 0/1]

Thus, the 2nd Infantry Division was once again forced back into the air defense zone of Pyeongtaek Base, barely managing to defend itself only thanks to the Avenger System, and Osan Base fell once more.

However, this is South Korea, and they won't allow a hostile air force to do as it pleases.

Soon, the rational clone in charge of command discovered enemy aircraft approaching from afar, consisting of 40 from the south and 60 from the east, all of which were fourth-generation fighters or even fifth-generation F-35s.

"My friends, the time has come for us to die a heroic death."

"What heroic sacrifice? To put it bluntly, we were the invaders."

"Enough talk, just charge in."

"Kill them! Even if we die, we'll take one down with us."

Twelve F-16s attacked the southern formation, this time without the assistance of E-2D early warning aircraft, and were even at a disadvantage in terms of radar.

Intense air battles soon broke out in the sky, with planes crashing one after another, some even hitting the city.

Meanwhile, a formation of 14 F-35 aircraft was crossing the Neon Sea and flying over Tsushima Island; it was none other than Naoki Hanyu's formation.

Naoki Hanyu's decision to abandon the F-16 was actually a last resort. The system's computing power was insufficient to block 21 fighter jets. Blocking 7 fighter jets was already the limit, and it would also affect Naoki Hanyu's daily use.

Soon after, the F-35 fighter jets finally flew back to the Luwu Air Base, which was battered by wind and rain. The radar team led by Naoki Hanyu and Kazuma Tanaka was already waiting there, their raincoats flapping loudly in the storm.

"came back?"

As one fighter jet after another landed, Tanaka Kazuma suddenly widened his eyes.

"14 F-35s?"

Furthermore, the E-2D early warning aircraft and B-2 bombers did not return; it remains to be seen whether something happened or if there are other arrangements.

The clone next to him patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Isn't it normal to make some progress?"

"."

Tanaka Kazuma had nothing to say. He was already on the wrong path and there was no way to get off. He could only continue to serve the YMCA.

"The hangar and maintenance tools are ready."

The F-35 fighter jets were parked in their respective hangars. Despite his headache, Naoki Hanyu created more than 30 clones to repair the aircraft, even disassembling them to remove backdoor hardware, so that the young lady's intelligent system could have an easier time.

It must be said that in this series of battles, every fighter jet suffered some damage, at the very least the surface of the jets was scratched.

As a half-baked repairman who had studied books and practiced some skills, Naoki Hanyu was busy with more than 30 clones until the typhoon had completely passed and the sky was turning white before he finally finished.

Next, the seven F-35As whose systems could not be recovered were placed at Luya Air Base, and Naoki Hanyu also had to rush back to Tokyo.

While someone was repairing a fighter jet, the entire Earth's internet exploded.

Videos of the YMCA's night raid on a base in South Korea have surfaced, and although the full picture is not visible, they have still excited many onlookers.

They never expected the YMCA to keep its word and actually dare to attack America's base. Based on the various videos, they speculated on the extent of America's losses.

For example, several foreign military bloggers even teamed up to produce a program, analyzing the video content in great detail.

"We have finished organizing all the videos and come up with a rough guess. The YMCA attacked Pyeongtaek Air Base first. Look at this video, there are flames everywhere and anti-aircraft missiles are being fired like they're free. They were probably caught off guard. It's not unusual for South Korea's largest military base to be attacked like Pearl Harbor. I estimate that the air force at Pyeongtaek Air Base was crippled in the first place."

Another blogger, though looking displeased, also expressed his agreement. He is a staunch supporter of the American military and a retired lieutenant.

“I agree. Apart from the despicable sneak attack by some organization, there is no other explanation for why the YMCA would then attack Wushan Air Base. Judging from the fire in the video, there should have been bombers involved, and the final terrible artillery barrage should have been the work of the 2nd Infantry Division recently.”

The comments section below the live stream kept rising. Some people felt that the youth association had gone too far, while others felt that America, as a warmonger, deserved to be punished.

Soon another video surfaced, showing mutants attacking Ryūin City.

The most terrifying thing was the 5-meter-tall mutant who managed to dismantle a tank with his bare hands. This horrifying scene was captured on camera by the lucky guy.

As time ticked by, new videos of mutants began to appear, claiming that the South Korean 11th Infantry Division stationed in Seoul had entered the scene. However, many mutants still managed to escape into the mountains, such as the one that tore apart a tank with its bare hands.

As dawn broke, many citizens saw the South Korean 11th Infantry Division, 17th Infantry Division, and even the Air Force cooperating in the encirclement and suppression of the mutants in the mountains.

This has only fueled the world's curiosity about where the Koreans got so many mutants. Could it be that what the youth association said was true?

The YMCA released a new video at 5:50 a.m.

"When we launched the Heavenly Punishment against the headquarters of the Tongyi Association yesterday, we discovered a secret research facility underground. Those mutants escaped from there. It is conceivable that the Tongyi Association has been conducting nuclear radiation research for some time. The terrorist attacks in Japan were also carried out by the Tongyi Association. The reason why America sheltered the Tongyi Association was to trade technology with them."

While the video "confirmed" the dirty deeds of the same organization, it didn't contain what everyone wanted to hear: how many people America lost, how many people the Koreans lost, and the YMCA didn't even mention it.

Amid a barrage of probing comments, the American State Department finally spoke up, and it was none other than the blonde beauty, Victoria Miller.

"At 7:45 p.m. last night, the YMCA launched an attack on our base with a total of 23 fighter jets. Our side lost 22 fourth-generation fighter jets, 17 tanks, and suffered hundreds of casualties. We also shot down all of the enemy's fighter jets."

"We hereby make it clear that we will absolutely not tolerate unprovoked attacks by certain organizations and will respond with all means, including military intervention in turbulent regions. Those who are our enemies will surely burn themselves."

Her statement immediately attracted worldwide media coverage. Some news outlets naturally followed America's account, but other regions questioned whether she was lying.

"Impossible. I saw in the video that the loss was definitely not as few as 22. There are many videos of enemy planes ravaging the 2nd Infantry Division. It's impossible for both sides to suffer heavy losses when they gained air superiority. You should know that there are no fewer than 100 fighter planes near Seoul."

"Who knows how reliable America's data is? The YMCA won't say anything."

At 7 a.m., Japanese Prime Minister Akiyama sat blankly in his office. He hadn't slept all night yesterday because of the air attack on South Korea, and he was about to attend an emergency press conference to give the world a response.

America will definitely hold the YMCA accountable for doing such a shocking thing as a Japanese terrorist organization.

Shortly afterward, the Chief Cabinet Secretary finally came in to report.

"Prime Minister, President America is calling you."

"Take it."

"Yes."

Soon, the King of Wins' voice rang out.

"Prime Minister Akiyama, what have you Japanese done? Are you trying to declare war on America, just like you did more than 80 years ago and court your own death?"

"."

Akiyama Akechi took a deep breath. "Mr. President, you misunderstand. The actions of the YMCA have nothing to do with us."

"They are your people from Japan."

"Our two countries share intelligence, and the Five-Legged Building is very clear about the movements of the Japanese. No fighter jets took off last night."

King Ying's tone became very serious.

"I highly suspect that the so-called YMCA is actually a member of your defense force, just in a different guise."

“Absolutely not, Mr. President. Please believe me, Japan will always be America’s friend.”

"I don't want to hear empty words; I want real sincerity."

Akiyama Akira paused for a moment, almost forgetting that the person opposite him looked more like a businessman.

"And what are your demands, Mr. President?"

"Tariffs will be increased by 5 percent, investment will be increased by 200 billion US dollars, and for the security of both countries, I will build three more large military bases and various smaller facilities in Japan, with a tentative increase of 40,000 troops stationed there."

Will tariffs be raised by another 5%?
The current tariffs have been criticized as weak domestically, and approval ratings are declining rapidly. If they are raised further, wouldn't the public want to tear them apart?

As for the amount of investment, it's not that important. In the eyes of the Japanese people, investing in America is not a bad deal, since they provide the money and America provides the land and resources.

Even if the future profit sharing is 55% before breaking even and 91% after breaking even.

If another 4 troops are added, the total number of American troops stationed in Japan will reach 10.

After the two national team leaders talked for 30 minutes, Akiyama Akechi's face turned pale and weak.

An emergency press conference began at 9:00 AM.

Akiyama Akechi walked onto the stage, first giving reporters a chance to take photos, and then spoke casually.

"I would like to declare to the outside world that everything the YMCA has done has nothing to do with Japan. To date, there is no evidence to prove that the YMCA is a terrorist organization that originated in Japan. We strongly suspect that the YMCA is a foreign force that is trying to undermine the friendship between Japan and America."

After dropping one bomb, Akiyama Akechi dropped another.

"I have decided to resign as president of the Justice and People Party."

Many people present were shocked by these words, as there had been no rumors of Akiyama Akechi's resignation, given that he had served as prime minister for less than six months. Even some high-ranking members of the ruling Justice Party shared this view, believing that now was not the time to re-elect a prime minister.

Akiyama Akechi ignored the astonishment of the people below the stage and continued on his way.

"According to Article 6 of the Party Law, if a new president is not elected after my resignation, an interim president will temporarily take charge of cabinet affairs."

"Japan is currently facing various disasters. Several months ago, many people chose me to be the president, but I have failed to meet their expectations, and I feel ashamed about that."

All of this is my responsibility. I did something wrong and I apologized profusely, which left some people speechless.

However, some capable prime ministers in the ruling party do not want to change prime ministers at this time, as the Senate election is less than 10 days away.

Given the current situation, the Senate election may be lost. Having just become prime minister, he will have to bear the responsibility of a Senate defeat. Will his subsequent prime ministerial career be good?

Especially considering the YMCA's attack on the Koreans, even if the Prime Minister and America's side hadn't discussed it, one can imagine the immense pressure America's side would exert.

If Akiyama Akechi is going to resign, why can't he wait a couple of weeks until he's taken the blame before resigning?

There was much discussion within the Justice Party, with leaders of several factions watching the live broadcast and discussing countermeasures.

They quickly reached a consensus: they couldn't let Akiyama Akechi escape; they would still vote for him in the party elections, at least to hold out for a while longer.

Just when they were full of confidence, Akiyama Akechi suddenly made a surprising move.

"I will not participate in the subsequent election for president, nor do I intend to hold any government position. I apologize to the people of the whole country for this."

Akiyama Akechi suddenly knelt on both knees and then placed his hands on the ground in a very standard dogeza (a traditional Japanese swearing posture).

In an instant, everyone at the scene, and even those watching the live news, fell silent.

This is the first prime minister to perform the Dogeza (a traditional Japanese prostration ceremony). Is it really necessary for a prime minister to dogeza? The prime minister is a leader who represents the dignity of Japan.

In just a few years, first every Defense Minister had to dogeza (a traditional Tibetan kowtow), and now even the Prime Minister has to do it?
The faction leaders of the Justice Party were also dumbfounded. Was it really necessary to go to such extremes? They even did a dogeza (a deep bow in apology) and still wanted to drag Akiyama Akechi down with them. They would definitely be criticized to death by the people of the whole country.

In the end, Akiyama Akechi left the press conference looking pitiful, concluding the event.

At the Yuzuru residence, Naoki Yuzuru was sleeping in bed when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Naoki-nii, Grandpa Tanaka is looking for you. Are you awake?"

Naoki Hanyu was still quite disoriented because he had exhausted himself the previous night.
"Just ten more minutes of sleep"

The door opened, and Suoh Yuki, who was still temporarily staying at Yuzuru's house, walked in. The girl had her hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing casual clothes.

Seeing that the man was still asleep, she immediately used the "Mount Tai Press Down" technique.

"Wake up! Grandpa Tanaka says he wants to talk to you about resigning."

With his stomach being sat on, Naoki Yuzuru opened his eyes and checked the system before his energy level returned to 45. Then he looked down at the girl who was looking down at him. Her delicate face was close to his, and her collar revealed her impressive assets due to gravity. He couldn't help but blurt out.

"Yuki, you've grown up."

Suoh Yuki immediately covered his collar and sat up straight.

"Naoki-nii, you really are something!"

"Yes, yes, I'll be more careful in the future. You, as a girl, should also be careful."

Naoki Hanyu sat up, forcibly pushed the girl off the horse, and picked up his shirt and put it on.

Yuki Suoh muttered to herself as she watched that perfect figure disappear.

"It's not like I'm saying you can't see it."

Naoki Hanyu turned his head to look.

"what did you just say?"

"It's nothing, hurry up and get out of here, Grandpa Tanaka has work to do later."

"I have a job too."

"You're off today, Mingming."

The girl pushed Naoki Hanyu out of the room. He had actually heard what she said, but he ignored her.

Over the past few months, Suoh Yuki has become more like his younger sister, a little mischievous.

In the living room, Yuki Suo brewed black tea for the two of them, then hid in the kitchen to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Old man, is something urgent?"

Tanaka Juzo was speechless looking at the extremely relaxed man. Despite the major upheaval in the Justice Party, this mid-sized faction leader seemed completely unaffected.

"The prime minister resigned and knelt down in front of everyone at the press conference."

Naoki Hanyu paused for a moment, then his mind cleared.

"You didn't teach him to resign by bowing deeply, did you?"

Tanaka Juzo was so angry that his beard stood on end.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"

"Sorry, sorry, it was just a slip of the tongue. After all, you're the one who created it."

"."

Tanaka Juzo said expressionlessly.

"The new party president will become the new prime minister. What are your plans?"

What can I do for the Justice and People Party election?

"You are also a member of the Justice Party faction."

"Oh, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
