Edo, Japan, the Governor's Palace, is brightly lit. It is not only the seat of Japan's supreme ruling body, but also the headquarters of the 15th Army of the Imperial Army, and the most heavily defended place in Japan. Since the beginning of this year, some of the top officials of the Imperial* Military Intelligence Agency have also been stationed here, taking over all of the Reich's intelligence agencies in Japan.

Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang of the Empire* Military Intelligence Agency, as an imperial envoy, took full charge of this rebellion against the Japanese.

"General Niu, have you found anything? Although Onodera Jiro and others assured that Japan would be fine. However, I can see that these old foxes are simply perfunctory! Major General Chen Ziqing, commander of the 15th Army, said.

"We have now mastered some targets, and it is safe to say that the Japanese security forces and police forces are no longer reliable. And, behind this, there is also the shadow of the Germans! Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang said with a stern face.

It can be said that the situation in Japan is very complicated at present, and the local rebel forces and external forces are colluding together. Coupled with the security forces and the inner demons within the government, it is almost impossible for the intelligence agencies of the empire to fully grasp the situation of those Japanese.

"In other words, are all the Japanese unreliable? It seems that we can only rely on ourselves. Two armies of 70,000 people are enough to deal with those Japanese! Major General Chen Ziqing's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent. The military leaders of the empire knew that His Majesty the Emperor did not look down on these Japanese, and treated them as slaves and beasts. Since these Japanese are not doing a good job, then the empire can only let them know what the consequences will be if they oppose the empire.

Although, the empire's garrison in Japan was only two armies, more than 70,000 people. However, the Imperial Army, armed to the teeth, had no trouble dealing with the unarmed Japanese. If nothing else, a strafing shot from a machine gun would have bled the Japanese.

"Well, looks like we're going to have to get ready. Let's order that the garrisons everywhere be put into a state of readiness, but it is better to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so that the Japanese do not know that we are ready. Otherwise, they should be scared back. Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang nodded. Since these Japanese are very deeply hidden, he simply does not bother to find out the Japanese. Wait for them to jump out on their own, and then destroy them with the power of thunder, in this case, it will be a hundred.

"Good. However, if we do this, we won't be able to smash Japan! In that case, the construction of more than ten years will be in vain! Chen Ziqing said with some regret. After all, the empire receives a lot of tax revenue from Japan every year. If these are broken, the loss will be a bit big. In addition, there are many Chinese in Japan, and if I really rebel one day, they will definitely be affected.

"Leave that alone, rebuild it when it's broken. Anyway, the most people who die will only be the Japanese, and this is their own death! Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang said indifferently. Born in the Military Intelligence Agency, he didn't take human life seriously. What's more, these killed are almost Japanese, so they don't have to care. Even if he killed all the Japanese, he wouldn't blink an eye.

"Well, okay, then I'll arrange it!" Major General Chen Ziqing nodded. As Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang said, it was the Japanese who died anyway, even if there were more deaths, so what did it matter? As for the Chinese, they will definitely be affected. However, almost none of the Chinese who come to Japan are good people. If they can be saved, the empire will definitely save them. If they can't be saved, then they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

By order of the Governor's Palace, the 15th and 29th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army had been put into a state of emergency combat readiness, and both soldiers and officers had canceled their vacations. Ammunition was also distributed. It's just that people in the outside world don't know about it at all.

Although, the two infantry armies of the empire are only more than 70,000 people, and if they are scattered in Japan, it does not seem to be much. However, this is only the first force. If something really happened to Japan, the empire could mobilize more troops to be stationed in Japan in the shortest possible time. For example, the infantry corps directly under the General Staff, as well as those units of the Marine Corps. Today, the Imperial Marine Corps has expanded from the original ten brigades to 25 brigades. In addition, 5 Marine Corps were formed, and the establishment was similar to that of the Imperial Army, and even the equipment was almost the same. However, the Marine Corps is better at landing operations, while the Army is better at storming fortifications on land battlefields.

The five marines, most of whom were stationed in the empire itself, were able to set out by ship and land in Japan under the cover of the navy if the need arose. Even if all the Japanese rose up against the rule of the empire, it would only take a hundred thousand men to put down the rebellion. The empire was not unaware of the situation in Japan, and the reason why it did not break this strong point at the beginning was precisely because it hoped that they would be able to develop a little stronger, and then eliminate them all in one pot, and all the Japanese who were resentful in one fell swoop.

It can be said that the development and growth of Japan's reverence for the emperor and the reverence of the emperor is inseparable from the connivance of the empire.

The Imperial Governor-General's Office and army in Japan were ready to suppress the rebellion. However, a few Japanese lackeys who had defected to the empire were a little embarrassed. From the current feedback, they can know that those Zun Yi factions have become more and more restless. If you don't get it right, you'll have a big mess. And these people will definitely be implicated. If the Chinese Empire thinks that there is their shadow behind it, they will definitely be implicated as well. When the time comes, not only will the glory and wealth become empty, but even a small life will be lost.

The Governor's Office's political officer, Onodera Jiro, had to conspire with Mori Keiko, Shimazu Saiko, Yamauchi Toyoto, and Nabeshima Shigeshige. They want to keep the status quo so they can live in peace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, those people in Yokoi Xiaonan have been a little uneasy lately. Shouldn't we give them a slap and make them restrain a bit! If something goes wrong, we'll probably not be able to eat and walk around! Onodera Jiro was a little worried.

"Your Excellency Onodera, what's there to worry about. Yokoi Xiaonan and the others are just a group of unwilling guys. Even if there are ronins and mud legs who are bewitched by them, the barrel of the gun is in our hands. As long as they dare to mess around, we will suppress it immediately. I don't believe they can afford to make waves! Maori said indifferently. In the past ten years, they have also suppressed many Japanese rebellions. It can be said that their hands are also stained with the blood of their compatriots.

"This time, I'm afraid the situation is different. Within the security army, there are also people who respect the king and the Yiyi faction. A few days ago, I expelled a few junior officers, although they were all at the level of squad leader or squadron leader, but this sign should not be underestimated! Shimazu said.

"Damn, do those bastards dare to break our agreement? Didn't they promise not to go into the security forces? Nabeshima Shigeru roared angrily.

"Those guys, when did you talk count. I think there must have been people from within our respective armies who had mixed in. The army is our lifeblood, and we must not let them control it. From now on, we will immediately purge the army of the Honorable Sect. As long as they don't have an army in their hands and no weapons, they can't keep thinking about that unrealistic idea! Yamauchi Toyotomi said.

"It's a good idea, give those guys a draw from the bottom of the kettle! Your Excellency Onodera, there must be a lot of those guys among the government's police! For the sake of our respective futures, we can't let Japan mess up! Maori also said.

"This is nature!" Onodera Jiro nodded.

These old guys all know about the existence of the Zunwang Zayi faction, and even open the door to make it convenient for them to develop and grow. However, the development of the Zunwang Sect seems to have exceeded their expectations and touched their bottom line. Now, they're finally going to do something about these guys. It's just that what they didn't expect was that the strength of the Zunwang Sect had exceeded their expectations.

In January 1859, many middle- and lower-ranking officers of the security army were found to have had something to do with the Zunwang Yiyi faction and were dismissed. The government's police stations have also begun to clear people who have infiltrated the police stations. Suddenly, this made the Zun Wang Yi faction feel threatened. The security forces and police forces are their most important force, and if they are all eliminated, how will they deal with the Chinese?

As a result, the Zun Wang Yi faction decided to make a desperate bet. Saigo Takamori's brigade was stationed in Sendai, in northern Honshu, which was also an important stronghold of the Japanese Emperor's faction.

On January 12, 1859, Saigo Takamori gathered his men and gave them a speech. This speech is also known as a speech on the awakening of the Japanese nation. In his speech, Saigo Takamori recounted the sufferings and disasters caused to Japan by the colonial rule of the Chinese Empire, and what kind of work their brothers and sisters did in the Chinese Empire that caused Japan's current false prosperity. It was also at this speech that Saigo Takamori shouted the slogan of expelling the Chinese and restoring the Japanese Empire.

Thousands of officers and men of the security army, under the bewitchment of Saigo Takamori, shouted slogans, took up their weapons and walked out of the barracks, and launched an attack on the Imperial Army's troops in Sendai. The whole of Japan has become a mess because of this. R1152
