Chapter 2 Careerists

Ben, Tokyo Prime Minister's House. [Full text reading]

After handing over the Narita-26 self-defense pistol with the NSA number engraved on it and two spare magazines to the agents in charge of security checks, Taniki Ryohei walked through the security gate. Very bad, the alarm system went off.

"Sir......" The agent with the detector was a little overwhelmed.

"Bastard, no one is an exception!" Gu Shu Liangping reprimanded the agent and spread his hands, "Including me, everyone has to follow the security regulations, understand?" ”

"Yes!" The agent was no longer too late, and used the detector to scan Gu Shu Liangping's body.

Taking out the lighter in his pocket, Gu Shu Liangping smiled bitterly and handed the lighter to the agent in charge of security.

It was a very ordinary lighter, and the agent gave it back to Gu Shu Liangping after seeing it, and then scanned Gu Shu Liangping with a detector to confirm that there were no other problems, and then let Gu Shu Liangping enter the Prime Minister's Office.

After purging the military department, Murakami Sadamasa seems to have a heart for all the "organs of power".

Before the end of the Korean Peninsula War, Murakami Sadamasa appointed ~|Ryohei as the "Special Intelligence Officer of the Prime Minister's Office" to reorganize the National Intelligence Agency and the Ministry of Defense Intelligence Agency. At the end of 2025, under the authority of Sadamasa Murakami, Ryohei Taniki merged the National Intelligence Agency with the Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense to form the "National Security Agency of Japan". Subsequently, Murakami appointed Ryohei Tani as the first director of the National Security Agency, responsible for national security work, including the security of the Prime Minister's Office.

In order to win the absolute trust of the prime minister, Tani Ryohei worked very hard.

At the beginning of his tenure. Tani Ryohei vigorously pursued the Japanese intelligence system. A radical overhaul of the intelligence system. The "Intelligence Code" has been reinstated, but all intelligence officers are required to be absolutely loyal to the Prime Minister. There are also higher operational requirements for intelligence staff.

For this. Tens of thousands of intelligence workers have lost their jobs, and thousands of young and promising Japanese youths have joined the intelligence front.

Shortly after the end of the Peninsular War. Ryohei Tani completely eliminated the (former) South Korean intelligence network in Japan.

Most importantly, it is. In 2025, Tani uncovered a military coup secretly orchestrated by the CIA, but identified dozens of participants. 2CIA spies were also secretly arrested. This matter aroused the great attention of Murakami Sadamasa. In addition to having Tani secretly execute the coup participants, Tani was authorized to handle the coup within the authority of the intelligence system. Therefrom. Ryohei Tani has won the absolute trust of Sadachi Murakami.

A lot of the time. Gu Shu Liangping couldn't help but sigh. Murakami Sadamasa was smart and confused for a while.

On the other hand, Shu Liangping has to admire the Chinese intelligence system.

After becoming the director of the National Security Bureau, Gu Shuliangping took the initiative to arrange for spies from the Military Intelligence Agency to enter the National Security Bureau. According to Taniki Ryohei's idea, the Military Intelligence Agency would not miss the opportunity to take control of Japanese intelligence agencies. The result was completely contrary to his expectations, and the Military Intelligence Agency not only did not adopt Taniki Ryohei's suggestion, but also asked Tanishu Ryohei to keep a low profile and minimize contact with the identity of the head of Japanese intelligence to serve Murakami. For this reason, the Military Intelligence Bureau even asked Tani Shuryohei to dismantle two intelligence networks that had just been established, so that dozens of intelligence personnel could urgently evacuate Japan.

At first, Tani did not quite understand the arrangements of the Military Intelligence Agency.

After 2 years, Liangping finally understood the intentions of the Military Intelligence Agency.

With "Sunflowers", it makes little practical sense to arrange other spies. As long as the "Sunflower" is protected, the Japanese intelligence system will have no secrets in front of the Military Intelligence Agency. The best way to protect the sunflowers is to minimize contact and only let them play their most critical role when it is most critical.

In terms of strategy and strategy, 1C0 Japanese National Security Agency is not a military intelligence agency at the top.

After going around the Prime Minister's Office and inspecting various security posts, Gu Shu Ryohei went to the Prime Minister's study.

"Prime Minister, Gu Shujun is here." Shunji Kiryu pushed open the door and nodded at Ryohei Taniki.

Because Ryohei Taniki is one of the few people who has the absolute trust of Murakami Sadamasa, Shunji Kiryu is more casual with Ryohei Taniki and will not be as enthusiastic as entertaining other guests.

"Gu Shujun, thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, this is my job." In front of Murakami Sadamasa, Tani Shu Ryohei was very solemn.

"Sit down and have tea?" Sadamasa Murakami walked over.

Gu Shuliangping sat down and took out a cigarette. In the Prime Minister's Office, probably only Ryohei Taniki can smoke casually. This privilege is both a manifestation of his close relationship with Murakami Sadamasa and his special position in front of the prime minister.

After sitting down, Murakami Sadamasa glanced at his watch and said, "The meeting will start in half an hour, wait and check the security measures in the conference room." Of course, I don't think there will be any problems. ”

"I've checked."

Murakami nodded. "That's good, it seems that you don't need a ** heart."

Gu Shu Liangping smiled slightly, looking very confident.

"Whatever, I still have some work to deal with." Sadamasa Murakami stood up, "When Higashiki-kun arrives, you and Kiryu will greet you outside the door, directly."

room, no need to come. ”

A short time later, Shunji Kiryu came to the study and informed the Minister of Defense, Toji Tanikatsu, of the arrival.

Gu Shu Ryohei followed the prime minister's chief assistant to the gate outside, and several agents had just stopped Dongji Gu Sheng.

"Don't be rude!" Gu Shu Liangping walked up quickly, took the detector in the agent's hand, and said to Dongji Gu Sheng, "Dongji-kun, please forgive me, this is our job." ”

Dongji Gusheng, who was still ugly at first, immediately put on a cooperative look.

It's not that he doesn't want to be screened, after all, this is a rule set by the prime minister, and even the prime minister himself has to abide by it. He just didn't want to be at the mercy of a few small agents, and since Gu Shu Ryohei came forward in person, there was nothing to say.

After the security check, Shunji Kiryu took Katsu Higashitani to the conference room.

Next, Chief Shinsai Sato, Deputy Chief Fanichi Takashima, Commander of the Tokyo Garrison, Suzuzu Yamaga, Minister of Culture, Science and Technology Chiri Ashikaga, Minister of Foreign Affairs Shikawa Kitayama, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Tomio Fujihashi, and Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Kosuke Kashima arrived one after another, and all of them were inspected by Ryohei Taniki.

With the arrival of the last participant, Deputy Military Department Chief Uesugi Tadaro, Tani Ryohei went to the conference room.

It's a hassle, and it's a tedious whole job.

If it weren't for the fact that the participants were all high-level: officials and senior generals, Gu Shu Ryohei would not have gone out in person. To be precise, Murakami Sadamasa will not let Ryohei Taniki personally go to the security check.

Although Murakami Sadamasa did not say it directly, during the security check, Tani Shu Ryohei paid special attention to the military personnel.

According to the relevant security regulations, except for the security personnel led by Tani Ryohei, all military personnel, including Sato Shinsai, must hand over their guns and sabers before entering the prime minister's office, and cannot carry weapons.

This regulation initially dissatisfied many soldiers, but later they gradually got used to it.

Everyone knows that only the military has the ability to plan a coup d'état and the guts to assassinate the prime minister. Since it is a rule set by the Prime Minister, everyone has to abide by it.

Of course, the current military department is no longer the "military department" of the past.

After the Korean War, China took the lead in throwing up an "arms race," and Japan had no choice but to take corresponding measures.

At the end of 2C25, Murakami Sadamasa officially upgraded the "Military Department" to the "Japanese Military Forces Command Headquarters", that is, the military department in the popular sense. At this point, the Ministry of Defense only has the power to manage the national defense budget and military personnel, and the power of troop mobilization and military operations has been transferred to the Ministry of Defense.

In order to avoid the "rebellion" of the soldiers, Murakami Sadamasa made adjustments to the military headquarters.

In addition to the general commander and the two deputy chiefs, the military department has also set up the three commands of the navy, the army and the air force, as well as the three ** commands of strategy, electronics, and network, with one commander and one chief of staff respectively, and a separate headquarters of the capital garrison, one commander and one chief of staff, and then a 17-member "military decision-making committee" directly responsible to the prime minister by the three commanders, seven commanders, and seven chiefs of staff.

It is the "Military Decision-making Committee" that really holds the power of the military department.

As a result, the powers of the three military chiefs were hollowed out. Without the approval of the "Military Decision-Making Committee", the Chief of the Military Department has no authority to mobilize any army. Because the four new members are all close associates of Murakami, the military department is completely controlled by the prime minister, and the influence of the military is greatly weakened.

This change fundamentally established Murakami's supremacy in Japan.

Tani Shuryohi has to sigh that in terms of playing with power, 1 general is not as good as Murakami Sadamasa.

Using the "Iwasaki Nobukawa Incident", Murakami Sadamasa not only eliminated dissidents in the army, but also warned other dissident soldiers. During the rectification of the Japanese intelligence agencies, Murakami Sadamasa relied on the support of the garrison to eliminate the opposition forces at lightning speed. Subsequently, through the adjustment of the military system, the military power was fundamentally grasped.

In the words of the Western news media, Murakami Sadamasa has accomplished what no Japanese prime minister has done since the Meiji Restoration, completely taming the Japanese army.

From the standpoint of the Japanese, Taniki Ryohei very much agrees with Murakami's approach.

Only the armed forces controlled by the prime minister can fundamentally put an end to the military controlling the political power and dictating the destiny of the country. In any case, politicians are calmer and better suited to run the country than military men.

From another point of view, Tani Ryohei has a different view.

Murakami's purpose in mastering the army was not to defend Japan, but to use the army to fulfill his ambitions.

No one denies Murakami's ambitions, and even the Japanese news media admit that Murakami is one of the greatest prime ministers in Japanese history.

The ignorant Japanese believed that Murakami Sadamasa would be able to lead Japan to power.

Reasonable Japanese knew that Murakami was going to lead Japan to destruction.

Ryohei Taniki belongs to the latter, and is the most sane Japanese!

Following the line set by Murakami, Japan is getting closer and closer to extinction.
