Tokyo Detective

Chapter 565 The Battle for the Ownership of the Neon Sky
[Ding! Intentional homicide has garnered 8 stars of Sin Stars.]

Soon another group of people arrived at the ruins. It was the Third Special Assault Unit, with more than 80 people, fully armed and equipped with infantry fighting vehicles, no less capable than the army. At the same time, the head of the Osaka Police Headquarters also arrived.

Yusaku Hattori is one of Japan's 21 Superintendents of Police.

"What's the situation now? Haven't you clashed with the YMCA?"

The mobile captain pointed confidently in the direction of the metal giant.

"Chief, that's the YMCA's Earth Destroyer, a powerful figure who claims to be no weaker than Heavenly Punishment. Even if he's lying, he still has a powered armor. Without anti-armor weapons, we can't fight him at all."

Mobile units don't have weapons like rocket launchers; it's only in recent years that special assault units have been equipped with them.

Hattori Yusaku looked at the captain of the special attack unit.

"Captain Uchida, are you confident you can defeat the YMCA's annihilation?"

"."

Juro Uchida was completely numb. Putting aside whether he could win, he would still suffer retaliation afterward. He was not like Naoki Hanyu, a freakish monster who could withstand divine punishment with his bare body multiple times.

The most important air superiority was in the hands of the YMCA; if they simply dropped two bombs, they would all be sent flying.

What a surreal situation! In their own country, they don't actually have air superiority.

"Chief, our special forces will do their best. However, our anti-tank weapons are damp due to the typhoon a few days ago, and we currently have no weapons that can penetrate their defenses. Even so, all 84 of us are prepared to sacrifice for the country."

Now it was Hattori Yusaku's turn to be stumped. He clearly saw the special forces bringing rocket launchers, yet he was blatantly lying.

You guys are such cowards.

Well, Hattori Yusaku doesn't really want to offend the Yonko Association. As long as he can get through this Yonko Association incident and go back to Tokyo to cause trouble, there's no need for him to take the fall for those bastards in Tokyo.

The police officers present were already intimidated by the YMCA's track record, especially their revenge attack on the Koreans in the nuclear radiation incident, which both shocked and impressed them. They thought these lunatics would really step in if needed.

"Since we don't have any armor-piercing weapons, let's wait for the 4th Division of the Defense Force to arrive. They are equipped with heavy weapons and are not afraid of the YMCA."

"Yeah."

Just as the police officers' psychological defenses were crumbling, an unexpected turn of events occurred that caught them off guard.

A half-damaged truck emerged from the rubble, carrying weapons that shocked the police: semi-powered armor, each weighing between 500 kilograms and 1 ton.

The next second, "Earth Destruction" descended from the sky and landed in front of Hattori Yusaku, startling those who were hesitant about whether to give the order to fire.

"Don't worry, everyone. Our Youth Association is not an organization that indiscriminately kills innocent people. We will only take action against enemies and those who threaten Japan."

Hattori Yusaku wiped away his cold sweat, inwardly complaining, "You guys can't just kill innocent people, can you at least take a good look at this ruin?"

Although he was inwardly sarcastic, he still spoke kindly on the surface, after all, he was now being "pointed at by missiles," and if he said the wrong thing, he would die here.

"Yes, yes, we have all seen your contributions to Japan. It makes me, a public servant, feel ashamed. Mr. Dimie, what do you have to say?"

Naoki Hanyu pointed to the eight damaged semi-powered armored vehicles.

"The semi-powered armor brought by these foreigners is damaged. Although it is our spoils of war, we don't have enough helicopters to transport it away in time, so we would like to temporarily leave it with your police. In all of Japan, only the police deserve the respect of the YMCA."

Hattori Yusaku forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Brother, you think too highly of us police officers. What did we do wrong? I'll change, I'll change, okay?"
Although that's what I thought inside, I still wore a fearless expression.

“Mr. Di Mie, although I really want to help you, I need to ask my superiors first. If they agree, I would be happy to help.”

"no problem."

Hattori Yusaku immediately called the police department, requesting instructions from his superiors to pass on this thorny issue to them.

Logically, as the head of Osaka Prefecture, he should only have two superiors: the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency and the Vice Commissioner General of the National Police Agency. However, both positions are currently vacant, as someone in the Public Safety Commission holds absolute power.

Naoki Hanyu wanted to place his own people in both positions, but the cabinet government and the Diet blocked it, so the National Police Agency is temporarily managing the election.

The police department immediately contacted several senior superintendents to vote on the matter. When these senior police officers heard that the special task force director intended to help, they also chose to help without hesitation.

At this moment, Naoki Hanyu is the uncrowned king of the National Police Agency, and it is Yusaku Hattori who is doing the work; they are not the ones who will be infamous for eternity.

"Agree to the YMCA, but claim you'll need four and a half powered armors as a storage fee. Chief Hattori, you must make sure everything goes perfectly and don't give the YMCA any opportunity to target our police."

Hattori Yusaku almost burst into tears. What kind of world is this? The police not only cooperate with terrorists, but also share the stolen goods with them.

"Isn't it going too far to snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"

"Just say it's Director Yuzuru's order."

Logically, since both of them are inspectors, Naoki Hanyu has no authority to give orders. However, given the current situation, he won't agree unless he agrees, even if it means he'll be inferior to someone else.

Today, Naoki Hanyu is supporting him. If Naoki Hanyu asks him for something in the future, can Yusaku Hattori really refuse him without hesitation?
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Hattori Yusaku rubbed his flustered face, regaining his composure as he gave a reply.

“Mr. Jimei, the police department has agreed, but they require four and a half powered armors as payment. This is what our Chief Yuzuru wants.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Di Mie let out a huge laugh, startling the group into retreating.

"Haha, as expected of my nemesis and Tianzhu's nemesis, you are greedy and audacious enough to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Alright, I agree."

"call"

Hattori Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief, not caring about the public pressure he would face afterward.
.
On the other side, the vanguard of the 4th Division's armored battalion was still dawdling. Despite being only 30 kilometers away, it hadn't arrived even after half an hour, prompting the staff officer to ask the battalion commander what was going on.

"Battalion Commander, we're moving too slowly."

"Do you want to be bombed by warplanes?"

"."

The battalion commander sighed.

"I also really want to eliminate all these terrorists, but I'm powerless to do so. For now, the only option is to wait until the Air Force completely defeats the YMCA Air Force."

"Yes, the battalion commander makes a lot of sense, and we can't guarantee that the youths won't be lying in ambush."

The two of them conspired together to spout nonsense and discussed the rest of the report.
.
Don't blame them for being cowardly. The 4th Division not only inherited the name of the Osaka Division from World War II, but also their style.

We avoid fighting tough battles if possible, but when we have an advantage, we are very capable and ruthless.

By the time the 4th Division's armored battalion arrived, YMCA helicopters had already left with 11 still-usable semi-powered armored vehicles.

When the battalion commander first heard that the eight semi-powered armored vehicles were left behind by the YMCA, he was already thinking about getting them. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries might not even get two a month. Who knows when they'll get their hands on one? Everyone's envious.

But when he heard that half of the semi-powered armor belonged to the Yonko Association and the other half to Naoki Hanyu, he immediately chickened out.

A month ago, he would have hesitated. The youth council would not say that although Naoki Hanyu was a big shot, he could not control their army.

However, their performance over the past two weeks has been truly impressive. They have suppressed the Prime Minister in every aspect, even though the Prime Minister was already in a semi-ineffective state. This has already proven the strength of their faction.

For a moment, the battalion commander hesitated.

As for Hattori Yusaku, the head of the headquarters, he didn't think that way. If the defense force forcibly seized the semi-powered armor, then it wouldn't be a problem for their Osaka headquarters afterward, but for the Yonko Association, the National Police Agency, and even the defense force.

"Commander Kudo, although I only agreed under pressure, it is the best place for the defense force to use these national weapons. What does it matter if I offend the Youth Association? Commander Kudo, I will hand over the power armor to you now. Your battalion will be the first power armor battalion in Japan."

The battalion commander was very resistant to Hattori Yusaku's enthusiasm.

"No, no, no, it's too valuable. We can't accept it. We can't put the Minister in a difficult position."

"I'm willing."

"No, I can't let the chief take the risk."

The two shoved each other a few times, their eyes met, and one of them cursed inwardly, "Old fox."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Naoki Hanyu himself was completely unaware that the two movie stars were putting on an act.

His ultimate goal this time was to patrol the entire territory of Japan in his fighter jets and announce to the whole country that the skies of Japan belonged to the YMCA, and that not only the inferior defense force, but even America had to stand aside.

As for his confidence, he did have it, which was the new application of his first SS-level skill.

Furthermore, the Kansai region lacks large-scale air force bases and has only one Patriot air defense system, posing no threat whatsoever.

As for the Patriot, it uses radar guidance, so it was completely useless against the Hanyu Air Force Squadron flying overhead.

There are even fewer air force bases with air combat capabilities in the Kansai region. The nearest one is Hamamatsu Air Base in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which is 200 kilometers away and has F-15 series fighter jets and T-4 trainer aircraft.

The Iruma Air Base in Iruma City, Saitama Prefecture, 400 kilometers away, is equipped with F-35A and F-16 fighter jets.

Other air force bases are all more than 500 kilometers away. The Iwakuni Air Base in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is 550 kilometers away. It is home to the American Marine Corps and has F-35B fighter jets.

Located 520 kilometers away in Fussa-cho, Tokyo, Yokota Air Base is America’s headquarters in Japan.

At this moment, all four air force bases sprang into action, determined to take off one aircraft after another, regardless of their own intentions.

The Pyeongtaek Air Base in South Korea serves as a cautionary tale. Because of slow takeoffs, its planes were shot down one by one as people blocked their way, and eventually, the YMCA even took all the planes away.
.
Meanwhile, the newly appointed Minister of Defense, Morito Mizuno, was completely stunned. He had initially felt somewhat fortunate that the previous Minister of Defense had committed suicide, allowing him to take the position.

He wasn't too worried about the YMCA causing trouble. There was online discussion about whether the Prime Minister might have connections with the YMCA, and the YMCA even attacked Naoki Hanyu because of it, although the two sides ended up in a draw.

Regardless, Mamoru Mizuno believes that the young prime minister will not embarrass the cabinet, unlike the previous three prime ministers who would frequently perform the dogeza (a traditional Tibetan kneeling gesture).

Who would have thought that less than a week after taking office, the YMCA would pull off a major incident, deploying a whopping 22 F-35 fighter jets.

These are 22 fifth-generation fighter jets, piloted by ruthless members of the YMCA, possessing stealth technology that surpasses the highest levels of any country.

On the other hand, Japan is even inferior to South Korea in terms of air force.

There are only 40 F-35 series aircraft, and no F-16s.

As for the F-15 series, there are more than 150 aircraft. However, the F-15 is only a third-generation fighter. Although more than 90 of them have been upgraded to fourth-generation fighters, they still lag behind established fourth-generation fighters like the F-16. The remaining F-15s are gradually being retired.

This is the Japanese Air Force, which has only about 130 fighter jets that are sufficient to be combat-ready.

Fortunately, Japan's air force relies not only on the defense force, but also on America's presence at various land, sea, and air bases across Japan.

Faced with pressure from the east, all F-16s were replaced with F-35s, totaling 96 F-35A and F-35B fighter jets, a number sufficient to deter neighboring countries.

At the Ministry of Defense command center, Mamoru Mizuno has stopped considering the combat capabilities of both sides and is awaiting instructions from the Prime Minister. He is currently unsure whether the Prime Minister has been in contact with the Yonhap News Agency.

Soon, Oda Riko's angry voice rang out.

“Minister Mizuno, the YMCA is trampling on Japan’s dignity, so please defend it and shoot them down.”

"Yes, Prime Minister."

After hanging up the phone, Mizuno Mamoru was certain that they had lost contact, but the Prime Minister's request put him in a difficult position. Could the Japanese Defense Force really shoot down the Youth Association on its own?
The recent victory of the South Koreans is a testament to their prowess; they shot down over a hundred aircraft, enough to wipe out all of Japan's fighter jets.

Just then, the messenger brought good news.

"Minister, the Air Force Command has sent word that America's command in Japan is requesting our cooperation. They have long been prepared for air combat with the Yonko and have already prepared equipment to counter the Yonko's stealth technology."

"America?"

Mamoru Mizuno finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Notify the Air Force Command to communicate with America and make sure the YMCA Air Force is wiped out."

"Yes."

Although Mizuno Mamoru was somewhat relieved, he still stared intently at the large screen, which showed that aircraft from four air bases were rushing towards the enemy aircraft.

With 70 F-35s and 70 F-15s deployed respectively, this represents half the air force strength of both Japan and America.

Winning would curb the YMCA's arrogance, and everything would be fine. He would also be the most outstanding defense minister since World War II.

If he loses, Mamoru Mizuno doesn't even want to imagine what the consequences will be. He will definitely become the worst defense minister, without exception.

The sky was cloudless, the full moon hung high, and the stars shone brightly.

The Hanyu Air Force Squadron has already flown over Kyoto and is approaching Ise Bay in Nagoya, while the 5th Fighter Wing at Hamamatsu Air Base, with 47 F-15 fighter jets, is also within 100 kilometers.

Naoki Hanyu could clearly see the types and numbers of enemy aircraft through the Tianmen satellite. Japan was the home ground of the Defense Force and America, but it was also his home ground.

They even hacked into the radar system through the Ashiya radar station to perform some operations.

Naoki Hanyu muttered to himself.

"Shoot it down directly?"

"No, we must give them the opportunity to choose."

Naoki Hanyu warned the enemy aircraft via radio.

"This is YMCA Flight Squadron. Your aircraft has entered our air defense identification zone. Please identify yourself and state your flight purpose immediately."

"."

The opposing 5th Air Wing was stunned. Although their wing was mainly responsible for training the air force, was it appropriate for a mere terrorist organization to say such a thing? It was clearly something they should be saying.

The regimental commander quickly responded.

"We are the Fifth Wing. Your aircraft is illegally flying over our territory. Please land immediately."

Naoki Hanyu ignored the other person; he simply wanted to make things clear and let the other person die knowing the truth.

"Your aircraft's actions constitute a security threat. Immediately change course to XXX degrees and leave our direction of travel, or we will take interception measures!"

"."

"This is the final warning! Your aircraft has seriously jeopardized our security. If you do not evacuate immediately, it will be shot down!"

"Drip drip drip"

As the warning sounded that the fighter jet was locked onto by the fire radar, the wing commander was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Enemy aircraft can lock onto them, but they cannot lock onto them with radar. How can they fight back?
As for the most advanced infrared guidance system that America mentioned, their old machines simply cannot use it.

"If they do not retreat within 10 seconds, shoot them down immediately."

"1"

"2"

"8"

"Holy crap!" The regimental commander's eyes widened instantly. "Why is there an 8 after the 2?"
Just then, the Japanese Air Force Command finally issued the order.

"The entire Fifth Air Wing is to retreat; the battle can be handed over to friendly forces."

"Yes."

Naoki Hanyu didn't take the retreat of the 5th Fighter Wing seriously, because he knew that the real enemy was the other 90 F-35 fighters, who had ignored his declaration.

This battle will determine who owns the skies over Japan. In this battle, he will drive the American Air Force out of Japanese airspace.
