Chapter 13 Top Secret Report
"Ladies and gentlemen, Shoji Kuroda's whereabouts are unknown, and the 30 tons of Semtin 1A explosives in his hands pose a serious threat to the security of the country. If you don't find him as soon as possible, the whole country will be in danger......"
As Rep. Ando's secretary in charge of policy, Nagao's words represent Rep. Ando's attitude. Two more days have passed since the last operation, and Shoji Kuroda has still not heard from him. Congressman Ando and the National Public Safety Commission are naturally dissatisfied with the work of the National Police Agency.
"I'm sorry, but please give us some more time, we are working on an emergency response plan for the capital, and we will gradually increase the security level in the Tokyo metropolitan area from now on, and in the event of a large-scale bombing attack......"
"Emergency response plan, aren't you afraid of triggering a massive panic among Tokyo's 13 million people?" said Nagao Keiko unceremoniously rejected the Metropolitan Police Department's proposal. Isn't it clear that the security level of the capital is being raised now to show weakness to Shoji Kuroda and to spread panic among the people? The Cabinet will never allow such a thing to happen.
"But if we don't, we won't be able to prevent Kuroda's next move!" said the Metropolitan Police Department, embarrassed.
"It is not allowed, and it is absolutely not allowed to let the people know that they may be attacked by bombs at any time. The National Public Safety Commission will never agree to this plan!" said Nagao Keiko resolutely.
……
Lin Xiuyi sat quietly in the corner, paying attention to the progress of the whole meeting. Nagao Keiko's aura is completely different from when everyone gets along on weekdays, are you afraid that this is the aura of a politician?
I really didn't expect that Keiko would be the secretary in charge of policy for Congressman Ando. Although the secretary in charge of policy is also a national civil servant who has passed the examination, because she works next to the parliamentarians, Keiko is a special civil servant who is separated from the bureaucracy. The requirements for the civil service examination held by the Senate and the House of Representatives are not ordinarily high, and in addition to the qualifications and background of a prestigious school, they must also pass the national judicial examination and obtain the corresponding qualifications. However, the treatment of the policy secretary is average, because the public funds provided by the state to the parliamentarians are about 26 million yen per year, so even the highest-ranking policy secretary has a salary of only 10 million yen, and of course, he also enjoys some privileges such as free travel on the Shinkansen and domestic flights.
The issues discussed at the meeting were not entirely understood by Shuichi Hayashi, because they were all considering how to solve the problem of Shoji Kuroda from a political perspective. Lin Xiuyi gently flipped through the documents in front of him. From the directory of the file, Lin Xiuyi finally saw something that interested him.
This is the "Tokyo Subway Bombing Investigation Report," which is still in top secret. This incident happened in the year Lin Xiuyi was born, and it has been more than 20 years since then, and in the past 20 years, there have been many discussions among the people about the explosion incident that year. However, no official investigation report has been released. It is rumored that the source of explosives for the Doomsday Trial Organization at that time was the U.S. military stationed in Japan. Of course, these are just folk rumors, and the truth behind the incident has not been officially disclosed to the public so far.
Lin Xiuyi gently flipped through the investigation report, which was still in a top-secret state, and quickly ignored the heated dispute between Keiko and the officials of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The Tokyo subway bombing took place 23 years ago, the year Hayashi was born. A subway train running on the Hibiya Line exploded while passing through Kasumigaseki and caused a serious derailment accident, injuring dozens of people. Soon after, another subway running on the Marunouchi Line was also hit by a bomb while passing through Nagata Town. More than a dozen passengers were killed and hundreds were injured on the spot. The Tokyo Metro operating company, which discovered that the situation was wrong, immediately stopped all subway trains, and after careful inspection, several pre-planted bombs were found on the tracks of the Chiyoda Line. As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused the indignation of the whole society of RB.
After a detailed investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department, the culprit of the Tokyo subway bombing was finally pinned on the head of Doomsday, a new religious group that had been banned by the government at the time. After that, the National Police Agency quickly mobilized the whole country to search for the core members of the Doomsday Trial. Under the explanation of the members of the Doomsday Trial, the police quickly locked the mastermind of this series of bombings on the head of Shoji Kuroda, a key member of the Doomsday Judgment who was engaged in blasting work in a large enterprise. However, due to the leakage of information, Kuroda fled from RB one step ahead of the police, and he has not known what happened to him. It wasn't until more than a decade later that intelligence groups of U.S. allies discovered Kuroda's traces from rebels in South America.
At that time, Shoji Kuroda had already joined the largest rebel group in Colombia, the Colombian Liberation Army. During a fighting battle, Colombian government forces captured Shoji Kuroda, who was wounded at the time. Later, after the coordination of the United States, Shoji Kuroda was escorted to Guantánamo Bay Prison. At that time, Yasan Ando, who was the Minister of Justice at the time, made representations to the U.S. side, demanding that Kuroda be extradited back to RB to face legal sanctions.
At first, the U.S. side resolutely rejected Ando's extradition request, but Ando Taishan did not give up, and he used superb political skills to force the U.S. side to finally agree to RB's extradition request. So just five years ago, under the escort of the Metropolitan Police Department, Shoji Kuroda was finally escorted back to Japan.
Kuroda has been detained in the Tokyo Detention Center since his return to Japan, and the Tokyo High Court has held a year-long closed court against Kuroda before he was sentenced to death. And because of the successful extradition of Shoji Kuroda back to China, Ando Taishan became a celebrity in RB politics for a while. There was even news that Ando would be appointed Minister of Finance (the Ministry of Finance was officially reorganized into the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance on January 6, 2001, and in a constitutional monarchy, the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister, the Foreign Minister, and the Minister of the Interior are called the Four Ministers of State, and their status is higher than that of the heads of other ministries). )。
Unfortunately, Ando died suddenly a year ago, after which Nobuko Ando inherited her father's political legacy and became a member of the RB House of Representatives at the age of forty-two. However, there is a very interesting thing, that is, Ando Taishan has always refused to approve the death penalty approval of Shoji Kuroda, which is why Shoji Kuroda can still live until now after being sentenced to death.
However, the newly appointed Minister of Justice, Kazuo Furuta, was not so kind, and on the first day he succeeded Ando as Minister of Justice, he signed his name on the death sentence approval of Shoji Kuroda. I don't know if Kuroda finally chose to escape from prison because of this.
