Placing the wooden pendant beside him, John looked at it with interest:

"It can't be destroyed, it can't be passed by X-rays, and even an electron microscope can't analyze its composition...... Is this something made by the so-called gods of this land? It's really a lot of fun. But no matter how much I sensed it, I couldn't feel that otherworldly element in it—maybe I needed to read some of the country's classics and ancient books to attract the power in them, as Professor Benedict once did? ”

Robert stepped away from the window for a moment, and sat down on the couch in front of John, but stared at the pendant with a more cautious and cold gaze that was different from John's.

"It's only been a few hours since I got my hands on it, and it's normal that there's no way to analyze anything — when we send it to the lab in Nevada with the Japanese girl, I'm sure our most elite scientists will be able to analyze something useful." At that time, whether it is the transcendent or the so-called gods, they will be unveiled and we will completely trample under our feet. ”

He comfortably adjusted the position of the back of the sofa, moved his neck, and continued:

"The prime minister of this country thought that he could use supernatural powers to usurp the ruling power of the United States, but he probably did not expect that once we analyzed and solved the mystery, the light of the United States would hang even higher, shining on the entire earth with unprecedented violence."

John smiled knowingly, and suddenly there was a vibration sound in his pocket, and he picked up his phone, looked at the phone number displayed on it, and raised an eyebrow.

"Who?"

Robert asked.

John smiled:

"That old friend of the Liberal Democratic Party, the head of the Intelligence Department of the Public Prosecutor's Office, Shingo Uchida. You should remember - it was the same person who secretly reported to us the other day that the Japanese girl still had this wooden pendant. ”

With that, he had already turned on the phone.

"Hello?"

……

At the same time, in the waiting room at Yokota Air Base, a Japanese man, accompanied by a white man with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the collar next to him, picked up his mobile phone.

"Hello, Mr. John, contemptible Shingo Uchida."

“…… Yes, it seems that the information I provided earlier is really useful to you, which is great. ”

“…… It is true that we in the LDP have a completely opposite attitude towards the policies and ideas of the SPD and the current prime minister. We agreed that the best pattern of the world is only under the leadership of the United States. ”

“…… It is a great honor to be able to do the United States a favor. ”

"By the way, I wonder if there will be a chance for the contemptible to meet Mr. John? I have heard of your name for a long time, you are the intelligence commander of the Seventh Fleet, and you are a thunderous presence for me. If I can meet the political elite of the kingdom, I will definitely be able to bathe in the spring breeze and be enlightened. ”

“…… It's a pity that I don't have a chance yet. However, the contemptible people are still sincerely looking forward to the next opportunity, to be able to really meet. ”

Putting down the phone, Shingo Uchida sighed with some regret.

And the lieutenant colonel, who had already gotten the news from the headset, had already walked over, stretched out his hand, and invited Shingo Uchida to leave.

"Mr. Uchida, I received the message above, please let me escort you out of the base."

"Trouble Lieutenant Colonel Darcy."

Shingo Uchida nodded, got up with a smile, and let Lieutenant Colonel Darcy lead him away.

And at the moment when he left the base gate, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the sky.

“…… Unfortunately, I'm running out of time. ”

"Mr. Uchida, what's wrong?"

As if hearing Shingo Uchida's exclamating tone, Lieutenant Colonel Darcy turned his head and looked at Shingo Uchida.

“…… It's nothing. ”

Shingo Uchida smiled, a faint red glint in his eyes.

“…… Lieutenant Colonel Darcy, please continue to lead the way. ”

……

The black sedan that had been driving stopped in front of the gate.

Manami Mizuhara, who had just gotten out of the car, looked at the sign of "Yokota Air Base" hanging on the gate and took a deep breath. She turned her head and looked at Tachibana Assuke, who had just gotten out of the car with her, standing beside her.

“…… Is this what you call 'Japan's future'? ”

Tachibana Assuke didn't have any embarrassment on his face, just looked at her with a smile.

"Isn't that right, Miss Manami? Japan's future has always existed only in the United States – since 100 years ago. ”

Manami Mizuhara shook her head as if she didn't have the strength to refute, and in the process of shaking her head, her hand reached into her pocket.

But the moment her hand reached into her coat pocket, a cold tingling pain suddenly came from her neck, and the next second, Manami Mizuhara had lost consciousness.

……

The conference hall of the Prime Minister's residence.

Fang Shican sat next to the prime minister with a calm face, and it seemed that he was simply recording the progress of the meeting with his pen, but in fact, his pen was trembling, and his whole face turned red because of the anger that surged up from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he was lowering his head, I'm afraid this face would have already become very noticeable.

- And the source of this anger came from the people sitting across from them.

Governor of Tokyo, Kei Minamoto; Liberal Democratic Party leader, Akio Fujiwara; and the head of the Public Prosecutor's Office, Shinichi Abe.

These three people are the three most powerful figures in the LDP today.

At the invitation of the prime minister, those LDP members have been arguing with brazen remarks and even accusing the prime minister with arrogance.

“…… Why do we leak the news to the US military and cooperate with the United States, then we have to ask ourselves! ”

“…… It would be extremely unwise to oppose the United States, and once relations with the United States broke down, who could we cooperate with in the whole of East Asia? Dragon Country? ”

“…… Even if we have transcendentals, how much can we gain from it? Can it compare with the losses of being an enemy of the United States? ”

“…… Japan's interests are not something that you can achieve by just talking about it, Japan is a small country, and only by cooperating with the United States can we sell domestic goods to all parts of the world unhindered and make the economy work! ”

“…… Your so-called idea of 're-emerging Japan' is a ruse against the free world and is destined to be rejected by the international community. ”

“…… You're just trying to drag the whole of Japan into the abyss for your own selfish desires! ”

The remarks of those high-ranking and powerful people made Fang Shican's teeth rattle when he heard it.

"Non-nationals!"

The shameless and immoral style of these people made Fang Shican think of this existence that was despised by everyone in the last world war.

"If it had been a hundred years ago, all of you would have had to go to court-martialed and be killed with guns and bullets on the spot!"
