Tokyo Detective

Chapter 568 No-Confidence Vote

"I am fully aware of your plans with the Prime Minister. If there is a next time, we will deploy fighter jets to bomb the Assassin's Guild headquarters and its global branches. Of course, the so-called elder families will also suffer devastating blows. I urge all assassin organizations in the world to think twice before causing trouble, and not to lose their lives in Japan."

"."

This statement carries a connotation of making an example of someone, and it was the first time someone had openly threatened an assassin organization.

Anyway, the other two founding families of the Assassin's Guild were seething with hatred, but they really didn't dare to retaliate. After all, the remaining two founding families were in Italy and Egypt, and the YMCA had found out their nationalities.

Those YMCA lunatics have caused trouble in the Mediterranean before; even the squid's fighter jets have been shot down. The air forces of their respective countries are simply unable to stop the YMCA's air force.

Not to mention small countries, even regional powers and the two superpowers are powerless to do anything about it.

Radar, infrared, and lasers are useless; they can only take hits, which is really unfair.
.
President America's office was also discussing how to deal with the events of the previous night.

With 85 F-35 fighter jets and more than 20 ships of various types, such an attack halved America's power in the Asia-Pacific region. For America, which had suffered repeated heavy blows, this was an absolutely intolerable blow.

Newly elected President Keane Rogers desperately needs to do something to salvage his approval ratings, and he also wants to be re-elected the following year.

“This matter must not be left unresolved. I suggest we follow the choice made by His Majesty King Ying before his death, and use overwhelming force to make the entire country of Japan submit to us.”

House Speaker Reid raised several questions.

"Your Excellency, I do not oppose the use of force as a deterrent, but we have a few problems to solve. It seems that the Yonko Association has no connection with Oda Riko, so there is no trace of the Yonko Association. Secondly, what do we have to deal with the Yonko Association's air force? A mere squadron is enough to defeat four wings."

The Secretary of State retorted.

"While Speaker Red's considerations are reasonable, if America doesn't react, many hostile nations will jump in as America's power declines."

Red interrupted.

"Isn't it already a case of the sun setting in the west? It was already being caught up by the East. In the Houston disaster, America lost 30,000 troops and their weapons, and nearly 10 million people died, not to mention the economic losses of more than 20 trillion."

"."

Red looked at the new president.

"Japan is ostensibly our ally and little brother. If military intimidation leads to war between the two sides, do you think America can maintain its current status? Those countries are eager to see us fight amongst ourselves."

Keane Roger frowned upon hearing this.

"The Japanese government doesn't have the guts."

"The Japanese government may not have one, but the youth movement will. They can seize power through many means. Even if they don't seize power, it's too easy for them to stir up trouble and cause war. How many people would we have to die to suppress Japan? Would we still have the power to influence the western Pacific then?"
And what about the YMCA's air force? Should we deploy thousands of fighter jets to deal with them?

"Would it be good for us to cripple and defeat our allies?"

"Not to mention that those YMCA members didn't say they wouldn't run away."

"."

The office was abuzz with discussion, and eventually a conclusion was reached.

"Until we develop a method to counter the YMCA's stealth tactics, we cannot put too much pressure on the current Japanese government, after all, Oda Riko is pro-American."

Although she cannot use force to coerce Japan, America can use the October 7th incident to demand benefits from Japan in terms of economics and trade.

In fact, various departments in America, such as the CIA, felt that what happened in America was too coincidental. Just as the previous president, Winning Wang, was trying to use force to coerce the government, the Houston incident broke out in Texas.

Despite the doubts, all the evidence suggests that America brought this upon herself.

The next morning, at Yuzuru's mansion.

Naoki Hanyu rarely cooks breakfast, and the second 9-star sin makes him happy.

In addition, Seiko Akimoto returned to the Metropolitan Police Department early in the morning to work, as there was a lot of work to do after the 107 air battle last night.

As for why Naoki Hanyu doesn't use it, he's already all-powerful. Isn't it standard practice to clock in at 11 a.m. and drink tea until 12 p.m. to get off work?

The aroma filled the entire kitchen, and Naoki Hanyu took a bite and nodded in satisfaction.

"As expected, his skill level is still there."

After setting out breakfast, Naoki Hanyu called out to Yuki Suo's room.

"Yuki, breakfast is ready."

"."

Alright, you can eat it yourself.

After finishing his breakfast, Naoki Hanyu watched the news for a while. All the channels in Japan were broadcasting news about yesterday. Even Yukinoshita Haruno, his favorite channel, was hosting a serious interview program, asking experts how the events of last night would affect Japan.

Switching to another channel revealed a similar talk show hosted by his old friend Yoko Okita, prompting Naoki Hanyu to complain.

"It's just a few American soldiers who died, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?"

It was almost 10 o'clock when Naoki Hanyu had no choice but to knock on Yuki Suo's door. This girl hadn't eaten for almost 12 hours. Wasn't she afraid of getting a stomachache?

"Hey, wake up, breakfast is ready."

Naoki Hanyu called out for a while, but when no one responded, he began to worry. Could Yuki Suo be sick? He could hear her breathing through the door.

The door was unlocked and easily opened. When Naoki Hanyu walked in, he was immediately struck by a stunning sight. The girl was wearing a loose T-shirt on top and only a white undershirt on the bottom. Her delicate face, with her eyes closed, resembled Sleeping Beauty, and her long, slightly fleshy thighs were wrapped around the blanket.

"Suoh Yuki, wake up!"

The girl's eyelashes trembled a few times and then closed again; she wouldn't get up no matter how many times she was called.

When Naoki Hanyu approached, Yuki Suoh pulled him onto the bed. Of course, this was due to someone's indulgence; otherwise, even a young girl couldn't have broken her hand by pulling him like that.

Naoki Hanyu met those beautiful, large eyes with a sense of helplessness, and looking down, he could still see the girl's already mature silhouette.
Good morning, Naoki.

"It's almost noon, and you're still saying good morning? Get up and have breakfast."

Yuki Suoh didn't respond. Instead, she wrapped her arms around the man's waist, pressed herself against him, and then sealed his lips with hers.

Naoki Yuzuru hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not move. Not to mention him, even Seiko Akimoto could sense the girl's increasingly intense dependence and love.

After a series of sounds, Naoki Hanyu stood up.

"Don't study too late anymore; the Kawai Juku exams are in less than a month."

The mock exams for top universities such as Kawai Juku and the University of Tokyo closely resemble the University of Tokyo's second-round entrance exams in terms of question style. The number of test takers and the admission rate are close to real data, resulting in high prediction accuracy.

There are usually four mock exams for senior high school students. If you want to get into a university like the University of Tokyo, you need to take the first Kawai Juku exam in August and the second one in November.

Yuki Suho nodded.

"I'm quite sure."

"As long as I'm confident, that's good. I've discussed it with the president of Tokyo University. As long as I pass the Kawai Juku exam this time, I don't have to take the national unified exam next January. It's basically a pre-arranged decision."

Upon hearing this, Suoh Yuki's eyes lit up with joy. If she could get a spot in advance, it would definitely be a good thing, at least she wouldn't have to endure the pressure for three months.

"Thank you, Onii-san."

Naoki Hanyu was speechless when faced with the girl hugging him. "Miss, please have some self-respect. You're not wearing anything underneath, and you're almost completely exposed."

So don't let me down.

"Absolutely not, but I was thinking if it passes, could you give me a gift, Onii-san? I'll give you a gift too, Onii-san, to thank you for taking care of me all this time."

Naoki Hanyu instantly showed a look of suspicion.

"what gift?"

I'll tell you when the time comes.

After thinking about it for a moment, Naoki Hanyu agreed. It would be a little difficult at most; surely they wouldn't eat me?

"Alright, the only way is through the Kawai Juku."

"Yeah, don't underestimate me. I got an A grade in the first three mock exams."

The so-called grading refers to the University of Tokyo's assessment of applicants based on their mock exams. A D means there's no chance, so don't waste your time. A C suggests a possibility, but it's still advisable to change your target; a B or higher is the minimum requirement for admission to the University of Tokyo.

Not long after, Naoki Hanyu glanced at the girl who had started studying, then changed his clothes and went out to find Juzo Tanaka.

Next came the real business: he needed to persuade both the ruling and opposition parties to launch a vote of no confidence against the prime minister and the cabinet.

His actions yesterday were not merely aimed at the League of Assassins and America, but also at creating an environment that could lead to a vote of no confidence in the cabinet.

The members of the House of Representatives may not believe the YMCA's so-called evidence; they're all equally unconvincing. But if Oda Riko and Jinwa Tenko were to get involved, it would be better if they didn't say anything. Once they do, there will definitely be clues to follow.

There are many intolerable things among various political parties and factions, and enhancing the political influence of the Oda clan is one of them. Not to mention that Oda Riko may collude with foreign forces to launch assassination operations against opposing parties, thus ruining the entire political landscape.

At the Tanaka residence, Tanaka Juzo, holding a cup, fell silent in the face of Hanyu Naoki's sudden idea. It wasn't that he thought it was impossible, but rather that it was too likely.

At this moment, Tanaka Juzo felt something was off. It was too coincidental; it was as if Naoki Hanyu and the Youth Association were working together, or the Youth Association was working with Naoki Hanyu.

If it were anyone else, he would have kept this question to himself, but the person in front of him was Naoki Hanyu, and the two of them had a mentor-student relationship.

"Naoki, do you have connections with the Youth Association?"

Naoki Hanyu flashed a bright smile.

"We've called several times already, old man, you don't think we'll have no contact at all, do you?"

"."

Tanaka Juzo sighed.

"You'd better figure it out yourself, or you'll get ripped off."

"Of course, only strength can allow us to have a peaceful conversation with them."

"Alright, I'm going to contact the other councilors now. Don't even think about running away; you have your own mission to complete."

It's easy to persuade the opposition, or rather, the opposition is eager to launch a vote of no confidence as soon as possible. The only difficult thing is for other factions within the ruling party to be dissatisfied with the prime minister and the cabinet.
