Kojiro Nakamura was killed in the Doomsday troop assessment, setting off a stormy wave.

When Zhang Xiaogang arrived at the Security Affairs Coordination Office, Stark had already convened an emergency meeting of the chief of the general staff at the request of Takeuchi Jinfumi.

The briefing was given by Major General Howard.

He is the commander of the Doomsday Force, and he is also the initiator and organizer of the assessment, and he is responsible for the ten special forces, so he can't get out of it.

Howard did not shift the blame to Chu Tianjiang, insisting that Nakamura Kojiro's death was an accident.

It's just that Takeuchi didn't believe it, and the Japanese observers, including the Japanese commissioner Tomosuke Yamashita, insisted that Chu Tianjiang had a clear advantage and had won the game, and Nakamura Kojiro did not make a threatening move against him, so he killed Nakamura Kojiro.

Accordingly, Takeuchi demanded that Chu Tianjiang be held accountable.

According to the regulations, as long as the accusations against Chu Tianjiang are established, even if he signs an exemption agreement, he will have to withdraw from the Doomsday Force without paying for his life.

Fortunately, Howard came up with the strongest evidence: the surveillance video.

In the gymnasium, there are dozens of high-speed cameras to monitor the assessment process from all angles, and record all the movements of the special forces in the assessment.

In the face of the evidence, Tomosuke Yamashita and other Japanese personnel were speechless.

In the fighting, Chu Tianjiang has been passively defending, and Nakamura Kojiro is pressing step by step, and every move is extremely deadly. Although Chu Tianjiang killed Nakamura Kojiro's move was very heavy, but if he was replaced by someone else, he was chased and beaten by Nakamura Kojiro, and he would not show mercy to his subordinates.

The point is that Nakamura Kojiro hit his neck against the blade of the knife when he fell to the ground.

In addition, Howard took out the video footage of Nakamura Kojiro in the first two rounds to emphasize that with Nakamura Kojiro's performance before this, he was fully capable of avoiding the blade, and even if he would lose to Chu Tianjiang because of this, he would not die on his own weapon.

Howard did this in two ways. One is that Nakamura Kojiro's behavior is abnormal, and the other is that he deliberately seeks death.

Finally, Howard released a video of the second test. After losing to Chu Tianjiang in the elimination stage, Nakamura Kojiro did not put down the sniper rifle according to the rules, but turned the muzzle of the gun to Chu Tianjiang, and after being warned, he unwillingly withdrew the bullet.

This evidence shows that Nakamura Kojiro tried to kill Chu Tianjiang on several occasions.

"Major General, do you have anything else to say?" Stark is the rotating chairman and is in charge of handling the matter.

"Nope." Howard is objective, it's just that he doesn't mention one of the most critical issues. That is, before Chu Tianjiang killed Nakamura Kojiro, he said a lot of things that angered Nakamura Kojiro, and at the last moment, it was he who stuck Nakamura Kojiro's katana into the floor and skillfully made the blade face up. With Howard's eyesight, it is impossible not to see that Chu Tianjiang really wants to kill Nakamura Kojiro.

"Very well, you can retreat."

On the big screen, Howard's image disappeared.

"General Takeuchi, do you have anything to say?" Stark seemed to have a headache, but most of it was pretended, and he must have known what Smith and Zhang Xiaogang had secretly planned.

"In any case, I don't believe it was an accident, and I won't admit that Nakamura intended to kill the Chinese special forces." Takeuchi has a hard mouth, but he lacks confidence when he speaks. "Someone must be held accountable for Nakamura's death, and his killer must be punished."

"What do you want to do?" Stark was clearly very unhappy with Takeuchi's claims. "Do you want Chu Tianjiang to be responsible, or do you want Howard to be responsible? The assessment of the members of the Doomsday Force and the determination of their status in the force have been recognized and supported by all the Chiefs of General Staff, including you, and we have promised to exempt all special forces from responsibility for possible casualties in the assessment. Well, now you have to hold accountable, and you have to get the person in person punished. General Takeuchi, do you think this request is reasonable? ”

Takeuchi was speechless.

"Now that the rules have been set, follow the rules." British Royal Admiral Stockton spoke. "We can't let the death of one person affect the whole project. Moreover, we have made arrangements for such incidents, and I recommend that the matter be handled in accordance with the agreement. ”

"Impossible!" Takeuchi immediately shouted.

Obviously, Takeuchi could not remain silent. If it does what Stockton says, Japan will lose its seat in the Doomsday Army.

"General Takeuchi, are you going to regret it?" Australian Army General Pierce also spoke.

"I acknowledge the agreement reached before, but there are doubts about Nakamura's death, and until the cause of death is confirmed, we have reason to be compensated accordingly!"

"What compensation?" Stark asked.

The agreement clearly stipulates that only in the case of death due to self-cause, or loss of combat capability, the US special forces will fill the vacancy. Nakamura's death was not his own cause, and even if Chu Tianjiang was protected by a waiver agreement, Howard had an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"Really?" Stark's face was ugly.

"Howard is the commander of the Doomsday Force and the initiator and organizer of the assessment, and he must take responsibility for the safety of the ten special forces." In order to keep his seat in the Doomsday Army, Takeuchi no longer cares about the relationship with the United States and begins to bite people indiscriminately.

Stark sneered. "General Takeuchi, do you think Howard should be blamed for his resignation?"

"This ......"

"Well, I'll admit what you're saying, so who do you think is the most qualified to replace Howard?"

Stark said this, and Takeuchi suddenly came to his senses.

At the beginning, Stark proposed to make Howard the commander of the Doomsday Force, which was strongly opposed by China and Russia. It took substantial compromises and concessions that China and Russia reluctantly accepted Stark's proposal. This included China's Colonel Liu Zhanbo and Russia's Colonel Tchaikovsky as Howard's replacements, serving as commanders of Doomsday Forces when Howard was unable to command them.

Although Stark used this to drive a wedge between China and Russia, that is, he had to choose one of Liu Zhanbo and Tchaikovsky to replace Howard, which would also cause contradictions between China and Russia, but as long as Howard was out, the United States would lose control of the Doomsday Army.

Takeuchi knew very well that whether it was Liu Zhanbo or Tchaikovsky replacing Howard, he would not get any benefits.

The first is that as long as Howard is responsible for the death of Kojiro Nakamura, the Joint Chiefs of Staff will not agree to let Japan send substitute special forces to join the Doomsday Force. Even if Japan takes a step back and gets the opportunity to send a replacement, the situation of the Japanese special forces in the Doomsday Force will not improve.

"Takeuchi Shogun ......"

"General Howard did what he could, and this unpredictable thing could not be prevented."

"So, you admit it was an accident?"

Takeuchi gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Since it was an accident, there is no reason for anyone to be held responsible."

"General Stark......" Takeuchi hesitated for a moment and said, "In the agreement we reached, there is no definition of accidents, nor does it stipulate how special forces will be dealt with after an accidental death, so the agreement does not apply to this incident. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I think that given the special nature of this incident, we have the opportunity to send a replacement special forces, and they will be in place within 24 hours."

Stark didn't speak. Because Takeuchi let Howard go, he couldn't refuse outright.

"General Takeuchi, you're asking too much." Yang Fanglie spoke. Although the nature of the accident was not clearly defined in the agreement, the video provided by General Howard proved that Nakamura's death was indeed related to his personal capacity. Do you think it is credible that he was able to defeat two powerful special forces in a row and die of an accidental miss? Anyway, I don't believe it, and I believe that other generals won't believe it either. ”

"You ......"

"Nakamura's death can only show that his personal ability is not strong enough."

"Defeating Sullivan and McDonald is a testament to his ability."

"Really?" Yang Fanglie smiled and said, "Maybe it's another possibility, that is, he played exceptionally before this and won an impossible victory." ”

"You ......"

"Maybe it's luck." Stark said perfunctorily. If Yang Fanglie finds out about Nakamura Kojiro's doping, except that Takeuchi will not be able to step down, Sergeyev will definitely take advantage of this to make trouble and propose that Howard does not have the ability to lead the doomsday troops.

"Even if luck is better, do we have to count on luck to defeat the invaders?" Yang Fanglie obviously would not let go of the opportunity to deal with Takeuchi Jinwen. "General Takeuchi, are you going to tell us that Nakamura is just an ordinary special soldier, not the best special forces you can send?"

Takeuchi was speechless and unable to answer this question.

If so, Yang Fanglie has more to say, at least to convince everyone that Japan regards saving humanity as child's play. If it is not, it can only mean that the ability of the Japanese substitute special forces is worse than that of Nakamura Kojiro and is not qualified to take on the heavy task of saving mankind.

"General Yang, we should trust General Takeuchi, he will definitely be able to send a special soldier who is no worse than Nakamura." Stark just wanted to teach Takeuchi a lesson, crush Japan's ambitions, and make Japan more dependent on the United States, instead of making Takeuchi angry.

Obviously, Yang Fanglie also did not want Japan to lose the seat of the Doomsday Army, he was talking about things.

"General Stark is willing to come forward to vouch, so naturally everything is fine. However, I have to emphasize one issue. Yang Fanglie threw out the main topic. Nakamura's performance makes me doubt Japan's capabilities, especially the capabilities of Japan's Self-Defense Forces. If even a special soldier can't manage it, how can he ensure that the nuclear materials that are enough to make thousands of nuclear warheads are safeguarded? I am also worried about the more than 100 million Japanese people that we must learn from this incident, otherwise more people will die and even lead to incalculable disasters. ”
