Chapter 1715 Pirates! Pirate!

The puppy's mood is very restless

Not only the dogs, but the entire high-level Japanese government has been in a state of anxiety and panic for a while. Originally, in their understanding, the cooperation with the Alice Group should be reached quickly, but what they didn't expect was that the progress of the negotiations was extremely slow, and the Alice Group grasped several conditions and did not let go

But for the Japanese, how could they agree to these conditions? In the eyes of many Japanese, these conditions put forward by the Alice Group are simply the new "21 Articles" of the 21st century, and if they agree to the conditions put forward by the Alice Group, then they will all become sinners of the Great Japanese Empire

This honor and disgrace brought to their families and individuals, even if they commit suicide by caesarean section, cannot be washed away.

But what they didn't expect was that before they could figure out how to resolve the current stalemate with the Alice Group, a new news came, like a thunderbolt from the blue, and slammed into their heads: in just three days, more than 3 million tons of ships belonging to the major commercial organizations of the Great Japanese Empire, together with the materials on them, were robbed and held hostage by hundreds of major pirate organizations entrenched in Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, and the African coast

In just three days, more than 3 million tons of petroleum, ore, crude oil, various industrial raw materials, grain, non-staple food, industrial manufactured products, and other materials related to Japan's national economic development were looted by pirates

At the beginning, the Japanese government did not care, after all, although it is now the 21st century, but there are still many pirates around the world, every year Japan's merchant ships are also distributed in the world's oceans of pirates to plunder a lot, usually as long as a certain amount of ransom is paid, can ensure the safety of the crew and ships and materials on board, and even behind many maritime pirate organizations, there are the world's major powers, these pirate organizations, is the intelligence organization of these countries.

However, this time the situation was obviously unexpected by the Japanese government, and in just three days, more than 3 million tons of various materials were lost

Japan is a barren island country that basically does not produce any resources of its own, and it cannot even produce its own agricultural products; although its economy is very developed, once the sea lines of communication are cut off, Japan's economy will quickly collapse, and what makes the Japanese government even more frightened is that after three days have passed, the major Japanese commercial organizations that have robbed their ships have not received a single telegram demanding ransom

This is not normal at all: Japan's government agencies, which have always been known for being bloated, sluggish, and procrastinating, convened an emergency session of the Diet at an unprecedented speed to discuss how to deal with it, under pressure from Japan's anxious organizations.

When the news came, the whole of Japan was excited, and in particular, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, which specializes in guarding Japan's maritime security, felt as if someone had slapped them in the face and crackled

Shame, shame, there is no doubt that this is the greatest shame of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force since its establishment, in the eyes of the grassroots officers and middle and senior officers of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, why do these arrogant pirates dare to deal with Japanese merchant ships so unscrupulously? Isn't it because Japan's navy can't send troops to the sea? Isn't it because Japan's maritime armed forces are not strong enough? INTERVIEWER In the eyes of the soldiers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, they are the Japanese Navy, not the Rausch Maritime Self-Defense Force

For a time, the Japanese navy was full of excitement and demanded that the military headquarters send troops overseas to escort the Japanese merchant ships

In their view, the current global pirate attack on Japanese merchant ships has provided an excellent opportunity for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force to go out of Asia and make good use of the whole opportunity, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force can not only send troops overseas to exercise the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's ability to fight at sea, but can also lay a solid foundation for improving the quality of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force soldiers

In response to this wave of war among the soldiers of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, the Japanese military leadership not only did not stop it, but did everything possible to promote it.

"There is no doubt that this is a premeditated, cruel and evil plan for the economic development of the Great Japanese Empire, and all of you are the elite of our Great Japanese Empire, and naturally we all understand how important a peaceful sea line of communication is to the economy of our Great Japanese Empire Now, these evil pirates threaten the security of our sea lines of communication, that is, they threaten the security of our economy of the Great Japanese Empire, and thus shake the very foundation of our Great Japanese Empire."

"As the elite of the Great Japanese Empire, we have the responsibility and obligation to ensure the smooth flow of our country's economic lifeline, and we have the responsibility and obligation to protect the safety and happiness of the people, even if we sacrifice ourselves, we must swear to protect the maritime lifeblood of our Great Japanese Empire," Yohei Kono, speaker of the House of Representatives of the Japanese Diet, stood in front of the podium, waving his fists angrily and said loudly, while his heart was dripping with blood

Among the 3 million tons of various materials that were hijacked, there were three 300,000-ton iron ore carriers belonging to Japan's Nippon Steel Functional Company and carrying 900,000 tons of high-grade iron ore that returned from Australia, and the Kono family, where Yohei Kono is located, is officially one of the shareholders of Nippon Steel Corporation, Japan's largest steel company, which means that the 900,000 tons of iron ore resources hijacked by pirates are equivalent to cutting off a piece of meat from the Kono family.

In the same way, the members of the House of Representatives of the Japanese Diet present are also inseparable from these business organizations, they are either the spokesmen of these business organizations, or they are simply the family members of the families behind these business organizations, these damned, lowly pirates have moved their sea lines of communication, that is, they threaten the interests of their families, which is equivalent to digging up their ancestral graves for the Japanese who take their own interests very seriously

"Send troops, send troops to send these damned pirates to the sea, for the sharks, to make them understand the price of offending our Great Japanese Empire, and use their blood to wash away the shame that these damn bastards have brought to our Great Japanese Empire," the members of the Japanese Parliament were all furious, waving their fists, and roaring loudly in the Diet with a hideous face, and their distorted expressions looked extremely hideous, like devils crawling out of the abyss of hell.

"That's right, we're going to send troops, we're going to use the power in our hands to protect the safety of our sea lines of communication" Yohei Kono roared loudly again, as if he felt that the suit he was wearing was not in the way, so he took off his suit directly, and pulled the expensive tie on his shirt to make his breathing easier, and roared loudly

The Japanese, who were as angry as a chrysanthemum, passed a resolution in the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors as quickly as possible: Authorizing the Japanese Government to formally dispatch the military forces of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force to escort Japanese merchant ships sailing on the seas around the world in the name of safeguarding Japan's commercial interests and ensuring the maritime safety of Japanese merchant ships.

At the same time, it asked the US side for help, and asked the US side to send military armed forces from military organizations all over the world to help the Japanese government expel those damned pirates after receiving a request for help from Japanese civilian ships.

In the face of the Japanese government's request for help, the US government finally made an official statement after some maneuvering: If a Japanese ship sailing at sea is harassed by pirates, it can ask for help from the nearest US ** base or ally...... Of course, what kind of price the Japanese paid and how much "labor fees" they had to pay the Americans for each sortie were tacitly not mentioned by both sides.

However, the question is, even so, will Japan's calculations be able to win? The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has finally taken its first step out of Japan, and what will be the reaction of the rest of the world, especially the Asian countries that were invaded and enslaved by Japan during World War II?

"What? Can we send troops in the open? Can we really send troops? When the news came, the entire Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force burst into tears of excitement, and even a large number of Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force soldiers knelt on the ground excitedly, muttering and praying to Amaterasu, thanking that under the protection of Amaterasu, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force has obtained such a God-given opportunity to develop its own strength: It is not easy, how difficult it is, after 60 years, Japan's maritime military combat force can finally ride the wind and waves on the ocean again,

The Japanese military did not miss the whole opportunity, and the Japanese government naturally did not miss the whole opportunity, and the entire Japanese government began to work like a sophisticated machine to build momentum for the consequences of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force sending troops and for the consequences of Japan's sea lines of communication being controlled by pirates

The Japanese media began to carry out a long propaganda campaign to the people, telling them that if Japan does not develop its own maritime military forces, Japan will not be able to guarantee the safety of its own sea lines of communication, which is the lifeline of its own sea communication, and Japan will not be able to enjoy a prosperous life as it is now, and the only way to maintain its present life is to vigorously develop its own military strength to protect its own security

Taking advantage of this opportunity, calls in Japan for the development of the navy and the revision of the constitution regarding the strength of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force have also grown like weeds in the spring

————————————————————————

The third world countries, represented by those countries in Asia that invaded Japan in World War II, are very worried about Japan's current troop dispatch and believe that this may be Japan's re-embarkation on the road of militarism. In particular, Kim Mou, president of the Korean People's Republic, made a public speech, saying: "Japan's current troop dispatch is harboring evil intentions and is a precursor to the revival of Japanese militarism."

It is almost naked to believe that the entire incident of Japanese merchant ships being looted by pirates, from the beginning of the hijacking of Japanese merchant ships to the present, is a despicable and shameless lie fabricated by the Japanese government and military for their own grandiose dispatch of troops to the sea.

Not only North Korea, but also many Asian countries also hold this attitude, after all, in their opinion, the Japanese reaction is really too fast: why did the Japanese react so quickly when there was news that the Japanese merchant ships had been plundered by pirates? Although the losses of the Japanese are not small, this speed is really too fast, right?

Compared with the DPRK, the domestic reaction is much more subtle, and although it is also worried that Japan's current military dispatch is a precursor to the revival of Japanese militarism, it is natural that this cannot be said, and the Chinese side has also come up with a keen idea; for the Japanese, this incident is certainly an excellent opportunity for them to break the restrictions imposed on the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force by the Japanese Constitution, but on the other hand, it is not an excellent opportunity to develop the mainland navy and train its own navy.

"We are deeply shocked and deeply regret what has happened to the Japanese business community, because our Chinese government has always strongly advocated the elimination of all forms of terrorism and terrorist acts, and piracy is also a kind of terrorist idea. We understand the Japanese government's mentality in the face of such terrorist attacks, but we do not agree with their actions, and the Chinese government believes that the Japanese government should not violate the constitution under any circumstances, and no matter what form the Japanese government sends troops to the sea, it is contrary to the theme of peace in the Japanese constitution. ”

"At the same time, the Chinese government believes that the increasingly rampant piracy organizations have become one of the obstacles to the theme of world peace and development, and as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, China has the responsibility and obligation to protect world peace and stability. At the same time, we also call on the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia to formally organize a maritime combat force in the name of the United Nations to safeguard world peace and stability. ”

Brother Hu's remarks not only hint that the Japanese Government may have its own secret intentions in sending troops overseas this time, and that it has also won over the four permanent members of the United Nations, the United States, Britain, France, and Russia, and there is no doubt that these four countries will be able to understand that if they can take this opportunity to send troops overseas, it will be an excellent opportunity to temper their naval combat strength

In addition to the United States, whether it is China, or Britain, France and Russia, even if they want to exercise their naval strength, there are not many opportunities, and the sudden emergence of pirates this time naturally gives them a godsend

The United States, Britain, France, and Russia immediately responded to Brother Hu's remarks, saying that the rampant terrorist activities of piracy, a brand-new type of piracy, have brought serious security and hidden dangers to global economic development and economic security, and that as one of the permanent members of the United Nations, they have the responsibility and obligation to eliminate piracy forces for the world, and in order to ensure the safety of the sea lines of communication of all countries in the world, they will send troops as soon as possible.

Although this decision did not prevent the Japanese from sending troops to the sea, it was also an excellent gain for them to be able to train their navy, of course, all this was naturally seen by the major pirate organizations that were closely watching the world's most important events.

"Brothers, we have made a fortune, as long as we deal with the things on this ship, everyone can share hundreds of thousands of dollars, as long as we do this for another year and a half, each brother can get a few million dollars in his pocket, and when the time comes, the brothers will take this money, although they will find a small country to launder themselves, they will be comfortable as their own rich and live their own comfortable life" On an unnamed island where pirates are entrenched in Southeast Asia, a group of pirates are staring at a huge freighter in front of them with bright eyes, The pirate crowd, a guy similar to a small boss, is desperately agitating to his subordinates, and the effect is surprisingly good, and the little minions are tempted by the prospect drawn by the small boss

"But...... Big brother, can we really get so much money? When the time comes, can Long Ye really let us leave with the money? A little minion who was probably quite sober asked timidly.

As soon as these words came out, all the kelp people focused their attention on finding a little boss and finding a problem, not only to find a new little minion to worry about, but also to worry about them...... It's okay to put your head on the waistband of your pants, but is there a chance to spend this money in the future?

"Stinky boy, I'm worried about finding something to do," the little boss scolded with a smile, this guy obviously had already dealt with this problem, "You may not believe what I said, but when you came, we didn't force you, the people who introduced you here are all folks who know your roots, and those folks of yours are now comfortable at home as their own rich men, right?" To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the older generation who quit to introduce you in, would you have been able to get this quick money-making doorway? ”

Sure enough, when the little leader said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief

As the little leader said, they were only introduced to them by their local pirate folks, and when the pirate folks returned home with large sums of dollars and became powerful men in their eyes, their eyes turned blue in an instant...... How great would it be if I could earn such a sum of money and become a human being?
