Chapter 922: Japan that Almost Lost Its Country
It has to be said that Japan is definitely the most tragic developed country in the 21 st century, and in just half a month, the whole of Japan has been isolated from the world, from the sea to the sky, from the water to the space, and all countries have erected a defensive net, strictly prohibiting any Japanese from leaving their homeland, and prohibiting anyone from entering Japan.
Even the U.S. military stationed in Japan was banned from leaving, and the same was true for tourists from other countries who traveled to Japan.
Although the U.S. Navy Base in Sasebo has isolated it from the outside world and put anti-chemical equipment on every soldier inside, many soldiers are still infected by the virus every day, even if they eat and do not take off their chemical protective clothing.
Originally, the United States wanted to withdraw most of the US forces stationed in Japan to the departing fleet, but as soon as this idea appeared, it encountered a huge crisis.
Less than a few hours after leaving port on an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, an infected person appeared on a Marine Corps soldier.
As a result, the United States could only watch the soldiers on the entire warship, infect and die one by one, and finally could only ruthlessly blow up the warship to the bottom of the sea, which directly sounded the alarm bell for the US high-level, because it was not known whether there was a latent virus among the withdrawn personnel, and no one dared to take risks.
In the face of more and more comrades-in-arms dying under the virus, panic has already spread among the troops, and tens of thousands of US troops stationed in Japan have demanded that the government immediately carry out the withdrawal of troops, and no one wants to continue to stay in Japan.
Originally, according to the United States, these soldiers could retreat to Okinawa or the four northern islands. Around Japan, there are only these two pure lands left. There is also a place to accommodate so many troops.
However, Russia resolutely disagrees with the four northern islands, and Okinawa is the last safe land controlled by Japan. The Japanese side also resolutely disagrees with allowing anyone in Japan to come close.
As a last resort, after many discussions, the United States and Japan finally made a decision to establish safe isolation zones on various small islands in Japan near the Pacific Ocean, and successively transport uninfected civilians in Japan and US troops stationed in Japan to these islands for observation and quarantine.
And this approach. For tens of thousands of U.S. troops and tens of millions of uninfected Japanese, it is a drop in the bucket.
However, there is no better way than that this method is a little safer.
Originally, this matter was completely blocked from top to bottom in Japan, and the first people to be picked up were all family members and dignitaries of the top level of the Japanese government, and there was no change at first, but I don't know where it came from.
At the current rate of virus spread in Japan. It won't take a month for the whole of Japan to die, but it's a month. At most, only 100,000 people can be transferred, plus tens of thousands of US troops stationed in Japan, and the remaining 100,000 people will be kept by elites from all walks of life in Japan and major consortia. It is not the turn of the tens of millions of civilians.
Tens of millions stay and wait to die, if the news is completely closed it is better to return. But when the news became known, the whole of Japan was in chaos.
A large number of Japanese fishing boats and various boats desperately left various ports in Japan. The scene spiraled out of control in an instant.
For this reason, South Korea, Russia, and China immediately organized naval and air forces to mobilize all monitoring and strike resources, and once they discovered that a Japanese fishing boat was approaching, they did not need any instructions and directly destroyed it.
Otherwise, if the Japanese carrying the virus are allowed to come close or the ships are brought closer, the tragedy on the American destroyer will be repeated again. Japan's combined forces with the US military also participated in the encirclement, and no fishing boat could be allowed to leave. In particular, between the four northern islands and Okinawa, a large number of fishing and cargo ships that ignored warnings insisted on approaching, but they were ruthlessly destroyed by the warships.
The whole world knows that even if the whole of Japan dies, the virus will not be allowed to leave Japan.
However, although the multinational naval forces have worked hard, there are still too many fishing boats vying to leave first, and these fishing boats leaving the encirclement are too dangerous. As a last resort, the navies of many countries had no choice but to expand the new blockade and require all other merchant ships in the encirclement to leave as soon as possible, and to stay away as soon as they encountered Japanese fishing boats.
Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, Australia, and other countries also sent warships to assist as soon as possible, and the Somali Navy's Fifth Fleet was the first to arrive in the waters around Japan, and the Sixth Fleet, which had just been established for just over a dozen days, also arrived in the Strait of Malacca, moving rapidly toward the waters around Japan.
As a populous country and so close to Japan, China did not have any reservations, and dispatched four aircraft carrier battle groups to blockade the entire East China Sea and the Sea of Japan, and destroy any Japanese fishing boats as soon as they encountered them.
The Somali naval fleet cruised near the southeast sea to blockade the entire southwestern sea of Japan, while the U.S. and Japanese fleets guarded the roads of the South Pacific and the North Pacific to prevent Japanese ships from going to Alaska and other regions.
This is the first time in history that the world's navy has carried out a legitimate attack on civilians, and even the world's humanitarians cannot say anything, because everyone knows that once the virus is transmitted to other regions, it will be a much greater catastrophe and more people will die as a result.
The Japanese government also keeps broadcasting in Japan, the virus cannot survive in the air for more than a week, nor can it survive in the dead infected for more than half a month, so as long as there are no new infections, the virus will automatically die within a certain period of time.
Therefore, the Japanese side also hopes that every Japanese citizen will stay at home quietly, do not go out, let alone attend any gatherings, do not gather in large groups, and do not eat unpackaged food.
However, a month later, the period of high contagion of the virus has not ended, and more than 60 million infected people have died in Japan, and the rate is still spreading. Because the virus is always mutating, the anti-virus potion that has just been developed quickly loses its effect and cannot effectively prevent the spread of the virus.
Fortunately, there are already many safe zones in Japan, which are far away from cities and crowds, keep infected people away from each other, and set up barriers to prevent small animals and mosquitoes from approaching.
However, there are still too few such safe zones, more and more people are dying, and more than half of Japan's cities have become ghost areas, with no life at all. The other half of the rest is not far from being abandoned.
In the whole of Tokyo, there is no living person in sight, and the corpses all over the ground are not even cared for, and they are left to rot in the air, but fortunately, there are planes to disinfect every day to prevent new epidemics.
A year later, when the Somali Navy's Seventh Fleet went to the Far East to replace the Sixth Fleet to carry out the blockade mission, there were no more than 5 million people alive in the entire territory of Japan, and less than 200,000 people were finally rescued.
The United Nations World Health Organization has officially announced that no one will be allowed to enter Japan for the next 10 years. It is necessary to wait until the virus is 100% dead before it can continue to be fit for human life.
In the past year, Li Lan's life has been very peaceful, and Israel's compensation has been paid on time every month, so that the vitality of the troops has recovered very quickly, and the size of the Red Police Corps has also increased rapidly by 200,000 people, and the total strength of the Red Police Corps has exceeded one million.
In the next two years, the size of the Red Guard Corps will be further increased to 1.5 million, and the garrison will also be increased to 2 million, which will serve as an important force to support the Red Guard Force.
The combat effectiveness of the current garrison is only a little less than that of the Red Guard Corps, and in terms of individual combat capability, it is no less than that of the main forces of other countries.
The military service system, which has been popularized in the Federation, can also raise millions of reserve troops when necessary, as a supplement for battle losses.
The development of the army has entered the fast lane of a fixed pattern, and what really makes Li Lan proud is that the Somali Federation has joined several more countries within this year, and the entire central part of Africa is under his rule.
As soon as the land area became the fourth in the world, it almost surpassed the United States, and the third in the world in terms of population, which has already surpassed the United States by a lot. The total economic output is the third largest in the world, below that of the United States.
However, what really made Li Lan happy was that after a year's time, Mission 2 with ultimate authority was only judged to have been completed by the base today, at the cost of Japan's complete loneliness, and the only navy, army, and air force units in Okinawa were able to survive receiving US military funds.
The successful promotion of the global military model to the intermediate level allows Li Lan to build basic buildings around the world, such as power plants and ore refineries, as well as high-tech oil wells, which means that Li Lan can plunder resources on a global scale.
However, before Li Lan could be happy, the third task appeared, the content was very simple, so short that it was only four words: defeat India.
And the reward of the mission, for Li Lan, who has already tasted the benefits of the global military model, there is no reason to refuse at all. As long as this task is completed, the global armed forces will be upgraded to the advanced level, which can truly realize the ability of the global armed forces, and the core authority will be activated within an appropriate time.
