Chapter 44 The Great Kanto Earthquake Erupts!

Around noon on September 1, 1923, in Tokyo, Japan.

On a Saturday, a day off, Tokyo was bustling with people. Businessmen and office workers were busy finishing up their morning tasks, while housewives were starting to cook. The train stations were packed with people heading out on vacation.

Undoubtedly, Japan was still in the midst of the aftermath of World War I, and its economy was doing relatively well. At least the practice of openly trading young girls with Southeast Asia for resources had been stopped. Japan's industrial capacity and economic prosperity had improved the living standards of at least the citizens of Tokyo. In addition, many new wealthy people had gathered in Tokyo, making this metropolis even more prosperous.

However, no one could have imagined that a huge disaster would strike so suddenly!

When a violent, sudden tremor came from deep underground, the first thought that popped into the minds of all the Tokyo residents who felt the strong tremor was, "An earthquake has occurred!" and they instinctively wanted to seek refuge in an open area.

After all, earthquakes are not uncommon in Japan, where they are frequent disasters. In fact, they are a part of daily life for Japanese people. However, everyone soon discovered that the intensity of this earthquake was unprecedented. Everyone felt as if they were on a small boat in a violent storm, being tossed about and unable to stand. The shaking earth easily destroyed the buildings that once stood there.

The entire city of Tokyo seemed to have been turned into a toy thrown into a shredder. Countless tall buildings that had been erected in the past crumbled in an instant, and flames and thick smoke rose everywhere in Tokyo, as if the entire city was on fire!

It turned out that the massive earthquake struck just before noon, when many Tokyo residents were busy preparing lunch, and many homes had their stoves burning brightly. The earthquake caused stoves to overturn, flames to fly, and sparks to scatter. Tokyo is not only densely populated, but many of its buildings are also made of bamboo and wood. The earthquake also damaged gas pipelines, causing gas to leak out and ignite easily. Since bamboo and wood are excellent fuel, the earthquake quickly turned Tokyo into a sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, the shockwaves from the earthquake stirred up huge winds in the area, which fueled the fire and turned the burning area into a sea of ​​flames. The strong winds also spread the dangerous embers in all directions.

Based on Japan's experience, during the Tokugawa Shogunate period, Tokyo, then known as Edo, suffered numerous fires, causing devastating losses time and again. It was even ridiculed as the "Flower of Edo." However, it wasn't that the Japanese were foolish or unaware that bamboo and wooden buildings, when clustered together, were highly susceptible to fire. Japan simply lacked the resources to construct better buildings.

Just like the saying "Why don't they eat meat porridge?", if Japan were in the feudal era of the Tokugawa Shogunate, it would be a pipe dream to build brick or reinforced concrete buildings throughout Edo. Even though Japan has now barely stepped into the threshold of industrialization, replacing all the buildings in Tokyo with reinforced concrete would still cost an astronomical sum, which is simply impossible.

Now, Tokyo is paying the price for the fact that the vast majority of its buildings are constructed of bamboo and wood. Wherever the sparks carried by the fierce winds spread, raging infernos followed. Factories burned, schools burned, residences burned—it seemed as if everything was ablaze. The entire city of Tokyo appeared to be engulfed in flames, as if the sky itself was ablaze. And the speed at which the fire spread exceeded anyone's imagination; in a short time, the entire city was submerged in flames.

Faced with the double disaster of earthquake and fire, the survivors of the earthquake had no time to even dig out their injured relatives who were still calling for help from the ruins. They had to abandon their relatives buried in the ruins and flee their homes that were about to become firegrounds. Tokyo's fire brigade was mobilized in full force at the first moment, but they soon discovered that the underground water pipes had been destroyed in the earthquake.

The powerful earthquake had destroyed Tokyo's underground water pipes. When firefighters were preparing to put out the fire, they were shocked to find that when the water valves were opened, not a drop of water came out. Instead, water was gushing out of many cracks in the road surface.

Soon, the aftershocks from the earthquake continued unabated. Tokyo even felt the aftershocks from time to time, and many cracks appeared. Many people were unable to escape and fell directly into the terrible gaps. Then, those people were suddenly swallowed up by the gaps, which were like the gaping maws of a demon. Their fate was that they were left without a trace. Only the pools of bloody mud that could be seen from the cracks could give a glimpse of their tragic fate.

However, no one in Tokyo is paying attention to the dead now, because the fires caused by the earthquake have attracted everyone's attention. The fires that engulfed Tokyo for a short time quickly turned into a massive fire disaster.

The raging flames quickly scorched the air above the ignition point of paper. There was no longer any need for a spark to ignite the fire; the terrifying, already formed winds of intense heat set everything ablaze. Paper burned, wood burned, houses burned, and the dead, the wounded, the living, and those tragically swallowed by the flames began to burn as well. First came hair and clothes, then skin and subcutaneous fat, all consumed by the flames.

Those who died were relatively lucky, for they could no longer die. The living humans caught in the scorching wind couldn't even scream; the instant they instinctively opened their mouths, the terrifying heat burned their soft throats and vocal cords, and these poor souls lost the ability to breathe. Even as their skin began to burn, they didn't die immediately. Besides the searing pain like being plunged into hellish flames, they endured the agonizing agony of suffocation until death finally brought an end to this extreme suffering.

The victims, suffering such double torment, all clutched their own throats tightly with their hands. When their charred bodies were discovered, the horrific scene resembled a gruesome moment of them strangling themselves. The sight sent chills down the spines of the rescuers who found them. Compared to these gruesome deaths caused by high temperatures and suffocation, some even tearing their own throats before dying, a quick death seemed like a blessing.

Even if you were incredibly wealthy or held a high position in life, it was all useless in the face of the disaster brought by the Great Kanto Earthquake. If you were unlucky, you would be reduced to ashes. Even if you were lucky enough not to die from the direct damage caused by the earthquake, the already burning fire was also a test. Those who failed the test became corpses, or even died alive from the extreme pain of being suffocated and subjected to high temperatures.

Of course, whether or not the bodies of the victims can be found also depends on luck. The entire Tokyo was engulfed by towering flames, and many people were burned to indistinguishable charcoal. Those who were lucky enough to survive soon found that in addition to the earthquake and fire, they also had to face the tsunami caused by the earthquake!

The epicenter of the Great Kanto Earthquake was off the coast of Tokyo. The earthquake not only caused enormous damage on land, but the huge energy released by the earth's crust also triggered a massive tsunami. When those who managed to escape the earthquake and fire rushed to the beaches, docks, and ports of Tokyo, they witnessed the sea receding at an alarming speed, as if some enormous creature in the sea was frantically swallowing the water. Then, a silver line suddenly appeared on the horizon as far as the eye could see.

Moments later, the refugees who had taken refuge in the port, docks, and beaches saw the silver line approaching the coast at an astonishing speed. Soon, huge waves, tens of meters high, swept across the land. These waves, often tens of meters high and seemingly endless on both sides, resembled a high, azure wall with silver edges on top. Such a colossal object had never appeared even in the most terrifying nightmares.

The massive tsunami did not decrease in size as it moved further; instead, it grew larger and larger as it approached the coast. People were stunned and dumbfounded, and no one even thought of turning back to escape towards the burning Tokyo.

In fact, those who tried to escape like ants in the face of the giant wave had no chance of survival. The towering wave was rushing towards the coast at a speed of 750 kilometers per hour. At this time, apart from artillery shells that could exceed the speed of the tsunami in a very short time, even the fastest airplanes could not fly that fast. Within the range that the tsunami could reach, people and everything on the beach were instantly swallowed up by waves tens of meters high. Some were swept into the ocean depths and became food for fish and shrimp, some were thrown into the air by the waves and died from the fall, and some were directly flooded into buildings by seawater and drowned.

Compared to the disaster victims who fled to ports, docks, and beaches, the shipyards, docks, warehouses, and coastal factories that were submerged by the tsunami suffered the same devastating blow. The sturdy reinforced concrete buildings, which were already severely damaged by the earthquake, were smashed to pieces by a single giant wave of the tsunami. A large number of machine tools, machinery, and supplies were destroyed by the tsunami or directly scattered by the tsunami, resulting in a series of losses.

In the blink of an eye, Tokyo and its surrounding industrial belt, which had accumulated wealth for over two centuries, housed Japan's most important industries, and had the largest number of ships in Japan, and was considered the brain and heart of Japan, were almost completely wiped out. Moreover, not only Tokyo, but also Yokohama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Shizuoka, Yamanashi and other regions were destroyed by the earthquake, resulting in more than 100,000 deaths and several times that number of injuries, and more than a million people were left homeless.

In a normal historical timeline, Japan would then scapegoat many Koreans and Chinese expatriates, and quickly shift to a continental strategy. Later, it encountered the global economic crisis triggered by the Great Depression in America, which led to the Far East Incident and gradually escalated into war.

But in the world of Demon Slayer, with the transmigrator, the demon god Li Mo, it's only natural to seize this excellent opportunity to achieve one's goals!

Therefore, when the Great Kanto Earthquake struck, the Japanese Imperial Family and a large number of nobles and dignitaries gathered in Tokyo, originally intending to hold a banquet to decide on future developments. However, they ended up becoming part of the death toll of the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Thanks to someone's scheming, the Japanese royal family's residence and the areas where those nobles lived were located on the edge of the area most affected by the earthquake. Later, the area was blown by scorching winds and turned into a hellish place, directly resulting in the deaths of the Japanese royal family and a large number of nobles. Even if they had some exceptionally talented strongmen as guards, they were completely useless in the face of natural disasters.

Even the Demon Slayer Corps, a secret organization that has been hidden for thousands of years, can accumulate several Pillar-level powerhouses as its backbone. The Japanese Imperial Family and those nobles are not fools. It is perfectly normal for them to recruit those with exceptional talent as guards or retainers. However, the Demon God Li Mo had already planted spies among them. Furthermore, by fusing the pawns with the [Guard Core], he directly used special methods to eliminate all of these guys, and incidentally, he was able to pin the cause of death on earthquakes and natural disasters.

As for whether anyone will have any doubts, of course some people will!

However, having suspicions is one thing, but finding evidence and disclosing it is another. Natural disasters like the Great Kanto Earthquake cannot be denied, and in fact, the Japanese might even take it upon themselves to blame the Japanese Imperial Family.

In ancient China, when emperors encountered natural disasters or man-made calamities, they might be accused of divine intervention and issued edicts of self-reproach. The situation in Japan was similar. Even if the overthrow of the Shogunate was successful and the Japanese imperial family took power, Japan, with its many feudal remnants and superstitions, still had its own unique national conditions.

Most obviously, in Japanese mythology, there is a legend about a giant catfish hiding in the depths of the sea. The catfish turning over signifies the disqualification of the royal family and the resulting earthquake. Now that the Great Kanto Earthquake has already occurred, all the direct members of the Japanese royal family have met their demise, and many other Japanese nobles have also perished in the natural disaster brought about by the Great Kanto Earthquake. This legend has almost become a fact.

From the perspective of the Japanese, if the imperial family hadn't failed in its duties, the Great Kanto Earthquake certainly wouldn't have occurred, and the fact that it killed off the entire direct line of the imperial family is surely an insult to the heavens. In China, it's hard to say what the situation would have been, but in Japan, where feudal remnants are strong and shrines and temples are everywhere, such absurd claims are widely circulated. And the ghost and god Li Mo played a big role in this, making all sorts of unfounded rumors fly around.

Anyway, most Japanese people accepted this seemingly absurd explanation after the earthquake. Even if someone was unwilling to lose power and tried to investigate, the ghost god Li Mo would send them on their way without hesitation. And now, when the Great Kanto Earthquake has just broken out, and fires and tsunamis come at the same time, no one in Tokyo and the surrounding disaster areas is thinking about so much. They are all struggling to survive.

At this moment, the contingency plan arranged by the Ghost God Li Mo was already in effect. The Japanese army stationed in Tokyo and the surrounding area was quickly mobilized. These troops, now under the control of the Ghost God Li Mo, swiftly carried out cleanup and rescue work in the disaster area.

At this moment, the ghost god Li Mo staged a scene of harsh punishment in a chaotic world for the disaster area. Neon soldiers carrying light weapons and convoys loaded with supplies and tools entered the disaster area. If they found criminals who committed robbery or theft, they would shoot them dead on the spot and hang up signs with their crimes to warn others. When they encountered disaster victims, they would evacuate them, treat the wounded, and try to rescue people from the ruins.

Meanwhile, in various parts of Japan that had already received news of the Great Kanto Earthquake, the pawns arranged by the ghost god Li Mo did not hesitate to launch their operations, directly bringing actual control of various parts of Japan and the key military forces under their control.

In particular, the Japanese military, arranged by the ghost god Li Mo, either sent those high-ranking military officers to Tokyo to die or had already been controlled and made his subordinates. At this time, he quickly took control of the key naval base, and the army had already been largely controlled earlier. Now he directly controlled the remaining troops, and the core troops he arranged were directly sent to disaster areas such as Tokyo, to provide disaster relief while completely controlling Tokyo.

To put it simply, while Li Mo had previously withdrawn his controlled forces and personnel from Tokyo, causing those uncontrolled Japanese nobles and conglomerates to suffer a heavy loss, Tokyo was still extremely important after the cleanup. Even though the Japanese royal family and a large number of high-ranking officials had already met their demise, Tokyo remained the heart of Japan. Even after being devastated by earthquakes, fires, and tsunamis, it still had millions of people, including a large number of industrial workers and highly skilled professionals.

Regarding this matter, Li Mo, the Ghost God, was very clear. Even if the forces he controlled withdrew their wealth and talent from the Tokyo area, a significant portion of the high-end talent, engineers, and workers that Japan had accumulated over decades of industrialization were still located in the industrial zone centered around Tokyo. Moreover, from a political and practical standpoint, controlling Tokyo was equivalent to having a legitimate claim, which would allow for better unification of Japan.

When the army controlled by the ghost god Li Mo entered Tokyo and other disaster-stricken areas, it carried out rescue operations at the fastest speed. Tokyo, which had already been cleared of those pests, offered no resistance whatsoever. At the same time, other parts of Japan also eliminated those uncooperative troublemakers, making it completely Li Mo's domain.

At this point, Japan had completely fallen into the hands of the ghost god Li Mo. He quickly arranged for the forces under his control to begin the follow-up disaster relief and recovery work in the disaster area of ​​the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, and to start the recovery of Japan's severely damaged economy!

Chapter 45 Neon’s Future

"Be sure to clear this area of ​​rubble and check for any remaining bodies!"

"Anyone who steals or commits crimes will be severely punished. Serious offenders will be executed as a warning to others, while minor offenders will be sent to labor camps for severe punishment. We hope that you will not do anything that will make things difficult for us."

"The first interim president is about to deliver his inaugural address..."

Ten days after the Great Kanto Earthquake, Tokyo, which had been reduced to ruins, began its reconstruction process. Large numbers of Tokyo citizens were organized by the military and police to clear the rubble and corpses, and to carry out various reconstruction projects.

It must be said that the Japanese people are extremely obedient. When the authorities intervened and made adjustments and arranged relief, the affected Tokyo citizens, except for a few wealthy people or government employees who made their own choices, followed the official arrangements, clearing the rubble and confirming the identities of the victims while carrying out various reconstruction projects in Tokyo.

Even though the aftershocks of the Great Kanto Earthquake could still be felt occasionally, Japan had already swiftly provided relief to Tokyo and the surrounding disaster areas through a highly efficient operational system. Under this administration, which combined deterrence with material assistance, the emotions of the disaster victims were very stable. Moreover, the huge disaster caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake was directly taken over and put on a good head by the already deceased Japanese imperial family and a group of nobles.

After all, the dead don't speak up to refute. With the vested interests of Japan already finished, ordinary people at the bottom were naturally led by all sorts of rumors, such as the important news that the Locust Clan had been "divinely punished" by the natural disaster, mixed with all sorts of true and false information. In conjunction with Japan's temporary establishment of a republic, the first interim president conveyed the information on disaster relief and reconstruction, which quickly calmed their resentment and enabled them to work hard on subsequent disaster relief efforts.

As for why Japan formed a provisional government and elected a provisional president so quickly after the earthquake, with no objections from the military, financial groups, or local powers, ordinary people don't have time to worry about such things. They are not foreign decision-makers or intelligence personnel. When relief is available and disaster relief work is being arranged, they naturally think about rebuilding their homes rather than getting caught up in so many issues.

However, some smart people in Japan saw the problem, but seeing the problem and solving the problem are two different things. At least with the Japanese military, conglomerates and local forces all in agreement, no fool would try to jump out and do something as suicidal as a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

"Patriarch, shall we just go back?"

Seeing that his lord had come to the disaster-stricken area of ​​Tokyo to observe the reconstruction efforts and read the newspaper reports, former Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku was somewhat puzzled. He looked around at the bustling scene of rebuilding homes and asked his lord, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, in a low voice.

"Yes, Kyojuro, let's go straight home!"

Hearing the words of Rengoku Kyojuro, who followed him, Ubuyashiki Kagaya looked out of the carriage window at the Tokyo cityscape, where much of the ruins had been cleared and temporary shelters had been erected, and at the disaster victims busily rebuilding their homes. He sighed and murmured, "Now, Japan has a new ruler, and he's doing a pretty good job. Those disaster victims are rebuilding their homes with hope; they don't need our help at all..."

As the current head of the Ubuyashiki family, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was not suffering from a curse and had to make up for his physical depletion, went out to investigate the disaster area in Tokyo after the Great Kanto Earthquake. Naturally, he keenly sensed that something was wrong. However, he was not foolish enough to make a fuss about it. Instead, after seeing what had happened, he consciously went back.

Just kidding! Kagaya Ubuyashiki isn't some brainwashed cannon fodder. He naturally knows that the so-called direct bloodline of the Heavenly Locusts was severed by "Heavenly Punishment," and a large number of nobles have become historical figures. The power behind the rapid establishment of the Provisional Republic Government and the first Provisional President of Japan is far beyond his own. Moreover, he and the Ubuyashiki family don't have such a close relationship with the former elites of Japan, so he wouldn't even consider revenge.

In reality, Kagaya Ubuyashiki even considered whether he should use his resources and connections to help Mr. Li Mo, who was clearly the mastermind, if he found the situation in Tokyo to be unstable. However, seeing that the disaster relief efforts in Tokyo and other places were well-organized and that the overall operation of Japan was more stable and efficient, he realized that he didn't need to do anything. It would be best for him to just go home and see his wife and children.

Often, doing nothing is actually a good thing. Kagaya Ubuyashiki understood perfectly well that the peaceful life he and his family were living now was definitely because someone had spoken to Mr. Li Mo. He was told that if he simply went out to check on things or offered help when things were in trouble, there would be no problem. But if he did anything else, he would be bringing disaster upon his family.

Now that Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his entourage have left Tokyo, some of the police officers who were maintaining order at the disaster reconstruction site left to report the news by phone. However, no one stopped Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his entourage, treating them as just passersby!

……

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Tokyo, in a manor not affected by the Great Kanto Earthquake, Gui Shen Li Mo and Hu Die Kanae and their companions arrived a few days ago and checked directly into this luxurious manor.

Although the Tokyo area of ​​Japan was severely affected by the disaster, Guishen Li Mo had no intention of sharing the hardships with the disaster victims. Moreover, the customs in Japan are different from those in China. In China, when there is a disaster, at least some show of it is done. In Japan, there is no need for such trouble. In the era of the Shogunate and the previous feudal era, it was the samurai who led the soldiers to suppress the disaster victims and then consider how to deal with the disaster situation.

Even after the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan continued to exploit the people. Even Ito Hirobumi had hinted that he was worried that heavy taxes might lead to uprisings caused by the gathering of commoners. However, the Japanese people actually endured it. Only after the invasion of Korea and the First Sino-Japanese War did the tax burden ease slightly. The benefits of World War I allowed the Japanese people to breathe a little easier, and naturally, they had even less desire to resist.

When the ghost god Li Mo secretly carried out his pre-planned scheme, he not only brought Japan under his control, but the Japanese commoners were completely unaware of this behind-the-scenes boss. Even though the Heavenly Locust lineage was directly cut off, many Chinese people became a thing of the past, and even a certain shrine that worshipped ghosts was burned to ruins, the commoners still obediently did disaster relief or lived their lives, and did not have the time to think about anything else.

Now, few people in Japan know that the one who truly determines the future direction of Japan is not the provisional republican government that is out in the open, but rather the ghost god Li Mo in this manor. He is the one who truly controls the future direction of Japan!

"Ink~!"

As the ghost god Li Mo sat in a study, pondering how to adjust the strategic direction of the entire country after gaining control of Japan, Kocho Kanae's sweet voice drifted in, and she entered the study carrying a plate of fruit.

For Kanae Kocho, she can meet with her lover at any time, and they will only be separated when there is something to do. Now that she has defeated the Demon King Muzan and many evil demons, and is working with the Demon Slayer Corps to resolve her hatred, she fully displays the gentle and generous image of a Yamato Nadeshiko. With her life essence having been elevated, her appearance is exceptionally beautiful. Even the light purple kimono she is wearing now cannot hide her curvaceous and beautiful figure.

It can be said that Kanae Butterfly is a gentle and obedient wife by her man's side. She even sometimes thinks about what to name her child if she and the ghost Li Mo had a child!

"Kanae, you're here~!"

Upon seeing the arrival of the beautiful Kanae Kocho, the demon god Li Mo put aside his own thoughts, reached out and pulled the beauty into his arms, kissed her passionately, and then, while letting Kanae Kocho sit in his lap, asked his woman with a touch of indulgence, "What's wrong? Didn't you enjoy the surrounding mountains and forests with Shinobu and the others?"

Due to the impact of the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Tokyo area on Honshu Island, Japan, can only be described as a scene of devastation. The great city of Tokyo has been reduced to ruins, and its former prosperity has temporarily vanished. Under military control, Tokyo naturally has few places to visit, and few people are in the mood to travel and shop there now.

No matter how you look at it, even the most heartless person wouldn't be in the mood to go sightseeing and shopping when looking at the ruins of the city and the corpses that are occasionally found. However, the ghost god Li Mo did not go to the ruins of Tokyo to seek thrills. The mountains and forests around Tokyo and Mount Fuji are actually quite beautiful, and many manors have been preserved. Many wealthy people or tycoons live there temporarily and have no intention of returning to the devastated Tokyo to suffer.

From a normal person's perspective, unless Tokyo's infrastructure is restored and people can start living there, most people, except for disaster victims who have nowhere else to go, would not consider living on the ruins. You should know that the disaster victims in Tokyo, unless they have no other choice, make do with tents and temporary shelters on the ruins. The objective conditions there are not much better than being in prison, and their lives are extremely inconvenient.

However, Gui Shen Li Mo and his group naturally didn't need to worry. This manor was almost completely unaffected by the earthquake, and the surrounding environment was also largely unaffected. Going on a picnic and hunting would definitely be a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

"Shinobu and the others went hunting, and I felt you were bored by yourself, so I came to check on you!"

Seemingly sensing the burning flame in the eyes of the demon god Li Mo, Kanae Butterfly's pretty face flushed slightly. She lowered her head and gently kissed her lover's face, her breath sweet as orchids, which made the demon god Li Mo even more moved.

In a sense, the demon god Li Mo has already changed the world of Demon Slayer enough, but the four beautiful girls around him have changed the most. Originally, Kanae Kocho died in the original Demon Slayer anime because of her battle with Upper Moon Two Doma, but now she is the woman closest to him.

Even in the past, when an acquaintance of the Demon Slayer Corps encountered Kanae and her companions, Kanae begged her man to repay the debt of gratitude owed to the Demon Slayer Corps. She then took her younger sister Shinobu Kocho and her adopted sister Kanao Tsuyuri with her to join the Demon Slayer Corps in hunting down the remaining powerful demons. In reality, she and her two sisters remained loyal to the demon god Li Mo, and were merely repaying the debt of gratitude for being saved and raised by the Demon Slayer Corps.

Knowing Kanae and the others' thoughts, Oni-shin Li Mo tacitly approved their actions in helping the Demon Slayer Corps. Even the Ubuyashiki family, under Ubuyashiki Kagaya's instructions, sold off many of their properties and assets at low prices. He had his men take over directly and let the Ubuyashiki family go. It would be strange if it weren't for Kanae and the others' influence. Otherwise, including the Japanese royal family who had already met their demise and many noble families, those guys would have lost both money and lives, and their power would have been completely swallowed up by Oni-shin Li Mo.

If it were possible for the dead to rise from the dead, the members of the Japanese Chinese and the Japanese royal family would definitely condemn the actions of this ghost god Li Mo. He completely wiped out the old forces in Japan. His brutality was comparable to that of the Russian bear in dealing with the former Tsarist royal family and nobles. In fact, the results of the purge were no less severe. Moreover, outsiders would think it was an internal power shift, unlike the Russian bear, which was exposed and regarded as a monstrous flood.

As for the ghost god Li Mo, he didn't care about those damned Japanese nobles at all. Besides, he had to consider Japan's future strategic plans. He would rather be intimate with a beautiful girl than show any pity for those damned guys even for a second.

"Hmm, then I'll have to watch your performance, Kanae!"

Looking at Kanae Butterfly's charming and adorable appearance, the ghost god Li Mo chuckled as he kissed the beauty in his arms.

Soon, rustling, seductive sounds came from the study, but these sounds were blocked by the door, and those outside couldn't hear them at all...

……

[The future of Japan? Tsk, that's a very interesting question. It's impossible for Japan to become strong on its own, and America and the Western countries may not just stand by and watch. In the future, it will have to join forces with China to take advantage of the opportunity to liberate Southeast Asia and the Indochina Peninsula during World War II. I wonder if it will become a people's revolution alliance or an East Asian alliance...]

More than an hour later, the ghost god Li Mo gently kissed and held the sleeping beauty in his arms, his hands still lingering inside her kimono, slowly exploring her. However, he became increasingly clear-headed after the pleasure, and continued to think about his previous strategic deployment in Japan, pondering how to act in the future.

Given the ever-present threat of the River Crab Divine Beast, Ghost God Li Mo naturally couldn't follow the old path Japan took before World War II. However, facing the great changes in the world during World War II, it would be impossible to say that Ghost God Li Mo didn't have an eagerness to try.

You say you're afraid of war?

Sorry, but Li Mo doesn't really care. Besides, even if Japan wants to live a peaceful and comfortable life, it still has to rely on imports for supplies such as oil, rubber, steel, sugar, food, and cotton. Who knows when someone might suddenly hold its neck by a knife?
