Chapter 340: Forcing the Palace
readx;? Because of the time difference, the United States was in the evening when it rained heavily and was full of corpses, and Asia, Japan, South Korea and other regions had just entered the afternoon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The weather was sunny, the wind was mild, and the sun was just right.
In such beautiful weather, the people of Japan did not feel the slightest relief, and only the tense atmosphere spread in the country.
Within five minutes of the end of the War, news had spread all over the world.
It is impossible to hide it, and there is no need to hide it.
Everywhere in the world that is covered by the Internet, everyone already knows that the Wars.
Ordinary people may not be aware of the loss of the United States, but everyone can imagine the horror of the war when they see the former capital of the United States in ruins.
Not only in the United States, but also in the chaos and panic that are brewing in Japan.
In Yokota, Zama, Misawa troops stationed in Japan all began to prepare for war, warplanes and armored vehicles whizzed near the base, and the rallying horn of the US Navy sounded, all of which brought great psychological pressure to the Japanese people.
War is about to break out.
This time, it broke out not in the United States, but in Asia.
The people were all worried.
Although theoretically speaking, this is a war between the Shenzhou Empire and the United States, and Japan has every reason to stay out of it, this is only a theory, and in fact, as one of the most important chess pieces of the United States in Asia, once a war breaks out between the United States and the Shenzhou Empire, Japan cannot stay out of it anyway.
The only result was that war engulfed the whole of Japan.
Whether voluntarily or forced, they will have to face the Divine Empire again, facing the country that they had ambitioned to conquer nearly a hundred years ago but ultimately failed to conquer.
Only this time, nearly a hundred years have passed, and the Shenzhou Empire has become a pivotal superpower in the world.
The hatred between the two countries is deeply buried, but it is not forgotten.
As long as there is an opportunity, the Shenzhou Empire will probably step on it without hesitation, and as long as Japan dares to move at the moment, the Shenzhou Empire will definitely not have the slightest softness.
However, the current situation is not at all a question of whether Japan dares to move, but whether it can do so.
Under tremendous psychological pressure, countless Japanese people began to march spontaneously.
The march had been going on for a few days, but it was so small that it didn't attract attention at all, but when the results of the War-S. Bigton reached Japan, the number of marchers increased dramatically.
Large crowds of people began to gather in the streets, chanting slogans against the war and calling for peace.
It's like a frenzy.
Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, Nagoya and other places saw large parades almost at the same time.
Such a blatant march immediately angered the ultra-leftist forces in Japan, who had always been the main fighters, angry at the cowardice of their own people, and at the same time began to stop the march.
On the one hand, he called for peace, and on the other hand, he began to chant that the Yamato nation was invincible.
The whole of Japan was suddenly filled with these two voices.
The processions collided and even fought, and chaos began to spread across the Japanese soil.
Public opinion is surging.
The Japanese superstructure, on the other hand, remained silent.
Tokyo.
Palace.
In the meeting room of Emperor Meimu, the current prime minister of Japan and the gray-haired Emperor Mingmu sat opposite each other.
The faint aroma of tea surrounds the living room, which is quiet, except for the occasional sound of paper turning.
The prime minister was looking through the top-secret information in his hand with a solemn face, and he didn't even have time to take a sip of the tea in front of him.
This top-secret information jointly collected by the Japanese imperial family and government is all about the battle of Washington and Snarton, and the data is as detailed as possible, and the information contained in this top-secret information is obviously much richer than what ordinary people know.
Time passed little by little in silence.
It took half an hour before the Japanese prime minister took a deep breath, put down the information in his hand, and frowned silently.
"How?"
The emperor took a sip of tea, looked at the gloomy Prime Minister, and asked with a smile.
"It's shocking. β
The Prime Minister was silent for a moment before speaking very slowly.
"Definitely. β
The emperor nodded, unconsciously wiped the teacup with his palm, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and sighed softly: "One Lin Xuanyuan is worth thousands of troops." β
"Is this why you oppose us declaring war on the Divine Empire with the United States? just because of a Lin Xuanyuan?"
The tone of the prime minister is very respectful, the emperor as a spiritual symbol of Japan, in recent years, there is less and less real power, most of Japan's power is concentrated in the prime minister and the cabinet, but Emperor Mingmu is different, the old man has maintained a good friendship with many prime ministers in a row, whether it is in the political business world or in the people, has a very high prestige, in terms of influence, Emperor Mingmu is definitely the most influential person in Japan, not even one, many times, even if it is the prime minister who controls most of the power in Japan, the strong old emperor must also give some respectγ
"Just because of one Lin Xuanyuan?"
The Emperor smiled, he gently pinched the teacup, but his smile was full of complicated expressions: "I'm curious, why do you still say such things until now, Lin Xuanyuan has done so much, can't he still get your attention?"
"Nope. β
The prime minister shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Until now, where does anyone dare not pay attention to Lin Xuanyuan?" Hey, this god of war king of the royal family, now the deterrence of the dark world is not even inferior to the emperor, the emperor is indeed invincible, but his identity is there after all, and his self-cultivation over the years has also numbed a large part of the people, but Lin Xuanyuan is different, this is simply a madman, his strength may not be as good as the emperor, but his brutality is no less than that of the emperor, especially when he also defeated Adolf, which is equivalent to officially announcing to the world that the royal family has a second giant-level supreme figure, Lin Xuanyuan, who has grown to this point, it is no exaggeration to say that he is almost uncontrollable, he is not the emperor's opponent, not the opponent of EllainAnd even in the face of the Emperor and Ellain, he can't beat him, and if he wants to leave, no one can stop him, no one dares to ignore this kind of character, whether it is an individual or a country. β
"But it's clear that you haven't paid enough attention to him. β
The Emperor said lightly: "You know how terrible Lin Xuanyuan is, how can you still say that sentence just because of a Lin Xuanyuan? You must know that now in our entire Japan, there is no one who is Lin Xuanyuan's opponent, no, in our entire Japan, there is not even a person who can take his full strength, if such a person comes to Japan, how much damage it will cause, can you think about it?"
The Emperor's tone paused, and he said meaningfully: "Japan is not as big as the United States. β
"Your Majesty, I attach great importance to Lin Xuanyuan, but modern warfare is no longer the kind of war that can be reversed by one person, we have a strong military force, a strong economy, and strong allies, of course, I admit that even so, Lin Xuanyuan will cause great harm to Japan, but we can't dare to go to war just because of this. We are a nation, but we are afraid of one, this is a shame!"
The prime minister said solemnly: "Moreover, the consequences of our rejection of the United States may not be better than the damage that Lin Xuanyuan brought to Japan, and Ulysses will not allow us to stay out of it." β
The corners of Emperor Mingwu's mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed lightly: "It's a dilemma." β
The prime minister drank tea quietly and was silent.
Although he was refuting the old emperor's views, it did not mean that he was willing to fight this war, especially an unprofitable one.
The Shenzhou Empire is no longer the backward country of nearly a hundred years ago, but one of the most powerful developed countries in the world today, with extremely strong strength, which is an opponent that no country is willing to directly confront, the Shenzhou Empire and the United States have a war, and it is a disaster for the United States to lose, even if the United States wins, Japan will not necessarily have any benefits.
In the past, they could follow the orders of the United States and provoke the Shenzhou Empire from time to time, but when the Shenzhou Empire made up its mind to go to war, Japan's situation became extremely embarrassing, just as the emperor said.
All in a dilemma.
United States, they did not dare to refuse.
The Divine Empire, they didn't dare to provoke.
At such a sensitive moment, any decision may affect Japan's national fortunes for the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
"A Lin Xuanyuan is not terrible, a Lin Xuanyuan with the backing of the entire royal family and the Shenzhou Empire is the most terrifying, and what we need to scruple about, not to mention a Lin Xuanyuan? The emperor is even more difficult to mess with, Wang Fuyu is now also a world-shaking supreme, the masters of the imperial family are like clouds, the Shenzhou Empire is strong and strong, and if you start a war with the Shenzhou Empire, I can't see any chance of winning." β
The Emperor sighed softly.
"But we have the support of the United States. β
The Prime Minister's voice was dry.
"Yes, we have the support of the United States, but the essence of this war is a war between the Divine Empire and the United States, and now the United States needs our support. β
The Emperor sneered: "Do you know what it means to support the United States? The United States is far away from the Divine Empire, but we are close to the Divine Empire, and no matter how we fight this war, we cannot get out of the Asian battlefield, and if the United States fails, what will happen to us?"
The Prime Minister was silent.
The phone rang suddenly, and it was extremely harsh in the silent meeting room.
The Emperor picked up the phone with a frown and fed.
"Your Majesty, Admiral Bahamut has arrived, and he has said that he has important matters that he would like to discuss with you in person. β
On the other end of the phone, the respectful voice of the palace guard rang.
The old emperor frowned, wanting to say something, but finally spoke: "Please let him in." β
He put down the phone, glanced at the still silent Japanese Prime Minister, and said with a faint smile: "Bahamut has come from Hawaii." β
The prime minister's body shook slightly.
Bahamut Keller.
Four-star general of the U.S. Army, commander of the Pacific Command.
Bahamut, who has been sitting at the headquarters in Hawaii on weekdays, came to the Japanese Imperial Palace in person, what did he want?
"Is he here to put pressure on us?"
The prime minister said with a solemn face.
"Is it just pressure??"
The old emperor stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly: "He is here to force the palace." β
