Volume 6 The Storm of War Chapter 1 Mind and Soul
Ben, Nagano Prefecture, ~ visit the east of the city, Yatsugatake Chushin Kogen Fixed Park. Starting
On a tree-lined forest path, in the first rays of dawn in the morning, an elderly man in his 60s wearing a kapppa sweatshirt walked slowly towards the road ahead. At the end of the trail, two bodyguards in suits and leather shoes stood next to the crown car smoking and chatting; 30 meters behind the old man, 2 bodyguards in suits and leather shoes quickened their pace.
The sound of tires running over the road was heard, and the 2 bodyguards next to the crown sedan dropped their cigarette butts and looked down the road.
A dusty Toyota Corolla family electric sedan with morning dew on its windows appeared around the corner of the road and slowly drove towards the hillside parking apron. 2 The bodyguards pretended to be casual and walked around the front and back of the crown car, and at the same time put their hands in their pockets and tightened their grips on the pistols.
The Corolla car stopped, and there was a creaking sound of the hand brake shutting in.
A man and a woman in casual clothes got out of the car, the man lit a cigarette and stretched out in the direction of the cliff, and the woman muttered to open the trunk door and bring out a basket full of drinks and pastries.
"Damn, come over and help, don't try to be lazy!"
Hearing the woman's loud scolding, the man quickly threw away the cigarette butt, trotted to the woman's side, took out a mountaineering bag stuffed with items from the carriage, and took the basket from the woman's hand.
Seeing this, the 2 bodyguards who had already circled to the outside of the crown car stopped.
A couple who are going to camp in a park may be ready to find a place where no one is around and do some basic work as a couple.
Think of these things. 2. The bodyguard couldn't help but let his guard down. Got his hand out of his pocket.
As the couple walked towards the mountain trail. The old man came to the road. Slow down. Head to the crown car. Same with bodyguards. The old man deliberately glanced at the young couple a few more times. The obscene gaze turned around the woman's chest a few times. It seems to be measuring the size of the pair.
Something happened suddenly.
The man pulls out two pistols with silencers from the fruit basket. The bodyguard next to the crown car just stared wide-eyed. The hand didn't have time to react yet. 2~ The warhead was shot into their foreheads with unerring accuracy. Coming to the end of the trail, 2 bodyguards immediately put their hands in their pockets. They didn't wait for them to draw their pistols. Two knives flew out of the woman's hand. Inserted into the throat of 2 bodyguards. Stabbed in the spine of the neck.
"Don't do anything stupid!" The man walked up to the old man. Pointed the gun at the old man.
The old man had just come to his senses. Face the muzzle of the black hole hole. Pretending to be frightened. Slowly raise your hands. Didn't wait for him to come up with a solution. A needle was inserted into his neck. The sudden stinging pain made the old man turn his head. Before losing consciousness. I saw a pair of towering giant peaks.
"What an old pervert!" The woman pushed the old man to the man.
"Don't be wordy, get rid of those two bodyguards." After speaking, the man picked up the old man and walked towards the Corolla car.
The woman walked to the side of the path, squatted down next to the 2 bodyguards who were still out of breath, and cut the major artery in the neck of the 2 bodyguards without mercy.
The man stuffed the old man into the sedan and carried out a body wrapped in a black plastic bag from the back seat.
0 minutes later, there was a violent explosion in the burning Crown car.
The Corolla sedan descended the mountain road and headed for the nearest highway entrance.
More than 200 kilometers away, Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City, Tokai Industrial Park.
Outside the newly completed plant, thousands of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries employees, well-known people from all walks of life in Japan, and reporters from hundreds of news media crowded the small square. Not far away, dozens of large construction vehicles roared on the meter-long runway that had just laid the foundation.
At 8 o'clock, the door of the factory slowly opened.
Accompanied by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Chairman Yoshiyasu Kamiya and others, Japanese Prime Minister Sadamasa Murakami, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Kosuke Kashima, Foreign Minister Nako Tsukimo, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Chiri Ashikaga, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Tomio Fujihashi, Defense Minister Katsu Higashi, and Chief Cabinet Secretary Shigeshiro Ota stepped out of the podium at the temporary venue. Behind the Japanese cabinet officials, a few yellow-haired, white-skinned Westerners, representatives of the U.S. government and Lockheed Martin, walked out of the factory at the end.
It was a very special day for Japan.
After 18 months of arduous negotiations and anxious waiting, in November 20211, the U.S.-Japan Military-Technical Cooperation Agreement was passed by the U.S. Senate and officially entered into force. After half a year of hard work, the Nagoya Aviation Equipment Manufacturing Plant of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Aerospace Division was successfully completed. Two months later, Japan's first F-22 fighter and the first F-35 will roll off the assembly line and be delivered to the Japanese Air Force.
In accordance with the provisions of the "US-Japan Military-Technical Cooperation Agreement", the United States not only sold the production rights of the F-22 and F-35 series fighters to Japan, but also sold high-end military technologies including tactical ballistic missile defense systems, Aegis systems, electromagnetic catapults, and other high-end military technologies to Japan before December 311, 20211, to help Japan improve its national missile defense system and build aircraft carriers with powerful attack capabilities!
The most striking aspect of the agreement is that the United States will sell patents for the production of composite batteries to Japan.
Furuya's aviation equipment manufacturing plant is just the beginning of Japan's move toward military independence
Facing the camera in the hands of reporters, Murakami Sadamasa was very calm. As the third prime minister of the Japanese military government, Murakami Sadamasa is not only a retired general, but also the patriarch of the Murakami family, the most powerful man in Japan.
Through television, the inauguration of the Nagoya Aviation Equipment Manufacturing Plant spread around the world.
Zhao Rundong deliberately put down his busy work and sat in front of the TV.
When the secretary brought the tea, he said, "Director Pan just called, saying that he had something important to report and was on his way here." β
"Something important?" Zhao Rundong frowned slightly and said, "Prepare an extra cup of tea, you pick him up at the door." Nothing particularly important, don't bother. β
After the secretary left, Zhao Yundong put on a headset connected to the simultaneous translation device.
Although there are scrolling translated subtitles at the bottom of the screen, the font size is too small and the translation is not comprehensive enough.
More than 0 minutes later, Pan Yunsheng came to the study of Xipuyuan.
"News reports from Nagoya?"
Zhao Rundong nodded, took off his headphones, and said: "The battle is quite big, for fear that others will not know that Japan can produce advanced fighters." β
"Advanced fighters?" Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "Will the United States sell the best to Japan?" β
Zhao Rundong also laughed and said, "What's the matter?" β
"Look at my memory." Pan Yunsheng took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "I just received the news that Li Mingjie has been arrested, and he can be sent back within three days." β
Zhao Rundong's brows jumped a few times. "When?"
"Two hours ago." Pan Yunsheng lit a cigarette, "Li Mingjie has been in the Bayue Zhongxin Plateau Fixed Park, and after receiving the news, our people immediately took action. It went smoothly and went undetected. The scene was also processed, and Japanese intelligence could only find a charred corpse. Although the identity of a body can be determined using high-tech autopsy techniques, it takes at least several days. By then, Li Mingjie had already been sent back. β
Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and said, "It's well arranged, interrogate as soon as possible." β
"The interrogation has been arranged a long time ago, but judging from the information we have received, we did not guess wrong before, Li Mingjie is indeed a spy of the Japanese intelligence agency."
"Don't rush to conclusions." Zhao Rundong smiled and shook his head, "Give me a complete report as soon as possible." β
Pan Yunsheng didn't say anything more, got up to say goodbye, and left the FΓΌhrer's Mansion.
Zhao Rundong put on the headphones and returned his gaze to the TV screen again.
Murakami Sadamasa's speech has ended, and the camera turns to the production equipment in the factory. The production line is tightly covered by black plastic sheeting, and it is not much to see. As early as 2 years ago, the United States showed the domestic media the production line of F-22 and F-35 fighters, and there are not many secrets to speak of.
After the inauguration ceremony, Murakami and other Japanese cabinet officials left the manufacturing plant and set off for Tokyo.
"Okay, understood, I'll tell the Prime Minister right away." Toshiji Kiryu, the chief secretary to the prime minister, put down the phone and said to Sadamasa Murakami, who was sitting next to him, "I just received a report from the Ministry of Defense's Intelligence and Security Agency that RyΕ Myung Jay was killed while jogging in the morning, and it is a criminal case. β
"A criminal case?" Murakami Sadamasa immediately frowned.
"Money and valuables were robbed, the bodyguard's pistol, the car's valuables and detachable electronic devices were all missing, and the car was burned......"
"Could it be a criminal case?" Murakami Sadamasa smiled coldly and said, "What kind of robber can take out a few agents of the Intelligence Security Agency?" Crown cars are expensive, not to mention that robbers can't drive. Even if the robbers can't drive, they won't go to rob with a few barrels of fuel, right? It is certainly not a criminal case, let alone an ordinary robbery case, and the Ministry of Defense and the intelligence security incident will conduct an investigation. β
"Intelligence security incidents?" Shunji Kiryu looked very surprised.
Murakami Sadamasa nodded and said, "Although two years have passed, China and Vietnam have been looking for the whereabouts of Li Mingjie. If it was a criminal robbery, it would have been a blessing in misfortune, and not only would we not have to worry about his safety, but we would have saved a fortune. If it weren't for the criminal robbery, and Le Minh Giet fell into the hands of China or the Vietnamese intelligence agencies, we would have to be on guard. β
Shunji Kiryu stopped being wordy and picked up the phone microphone.
Murakami Sadamasa returned to his usual appearance.
Although Li Mingjie is important, it is nothing compared to the things that need to be dealt with by the prime minister.
In 20199, when Murakami came to power, he was faced with a crazy, dilapidated, "brainless" and directionless Japan. In the past two years, Murakami has not only become the "brain" of Japan, but also brought Japan on the "right track". As a talented and ambitious prime minister, Murakami is not satisfied with his immediate achievements.
His goal is not only to become the "mind" that will lead Japan to strength, but also to be the "soul" that will forge Japan into a world power! (To be continued)
