Volume 3 The Stormy Waves of the East China Sea Chapter Ninety-Eight The End of the Careerist
In a televised speech, the Prime Minister announced the dissolution of the Diet and the holding of an early general election, making the civil turmoil in Japan even more uncontrollable
Hearing this news, Hatoyama Ryojiro, who had not yet recovered from the military fiasco, was suddenly stunned
Years of experience have told him that the Democratic Party is gone, and the Hatoyama family is gone
After asking the butler to prepare a sumptuous lunch and go to gather the family members, Hatoyama Keijiro numbly changed into the tuxedo that his father Takeo Hatoyama wore when he swore in as Prime Minister of the Cabinet to His Majesty the Emperor, combed his messy silver hair, put on a badge symbolizing the honor of the family, and walked to the dining room with heavy steps
As if with a premonition that something big was about to happen, the main members of the Hatoyama family all returned to the manor in the morning
In Japan, "Hatoyama" is a small surname, and the Hatoyama family has not been very prosperous, with less than ten men and only more than ten female members
Shrouded in gloom, the Hatoyama family's last lunch was dull and sad
For every "Hatoyama", this meal is difficult to swallow, and no matter where the future leads, "Hatoyama" will completely withdraw from the stage of Japanese history and become a humble person buried in the torrent of history
Before lunch was over, the sound of heavy vehicles running over the road could be heard outside the manor
Gunshots rang out, and smoke filled the manor
"Old man......"
Hatoyama took a deep breath and nodded to the old butler who had followed him for more than 40 years
"Serena Jiro, come here!" The housekeeper called the two "little Hatoyama", who were less than ten years old, to his side to "say goodbye to his grandfather"
"Grandpa......"
"Grandpa......"
Hatoyama Ryojiro closed his eyes and didn't turn his gaze to his two grandsons
The housekeeper dragged the two children out of the restaurant in a hurry
"Grandpa......"
"Grandpa......"
Listening to his grandson's shout, Hatoyama Ryojiro gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and his old body trembled slightly
The child's screaming abruptly stopped, and the sound of messy footsteps could be heard outside the restaurant
"What are you going to do?"
"Get out of here!"
Hatoyama Ryojiro was startled, and when he turned around, he happened to see Heiji Kano rushing into the restaurant with a group of heavily armed soldiers, and the housekeeper fell to the ground, and the two children fell into the hands of two soldiers
"Luye, what are you doing?" Hatoyama stood up
"What? Arrest the criminal" Heiji Kano glanced at "Hatoyama" in the room and summoned a police chief standing behind him, "Chief Suo, arrest the criminal"
"Wait!" Hatoyama Ryojiro rushed two steps forward, "Shikano, if you have something to say, why are you arresting people?" ”
"Why?" Shikano Heiji smiled coldly, "You still don't understand the good things you did?" ”
"What did I do?"
"It seems that you are killed and don't want to admit it" Heiji Kano waved his hand again, and a soldier in a military police uniform handed over a pistol in a plastic belt, "This is what we found next to Fukuda Tawen's body, do you still want to deny it?" ”
"My fingerprints?" Hatoyama Ryojiro was taken aback, "What the hell are you talking about, do you suspect that I killed Fukuda Tawen?" ”
"It's not a suspicion, it's an affirmation" Heiji Kano shook the pistol in the plastic tape, "There are your fingerprints on it, the evidence is conclusive, what do you have to say?" ”
Hatoyama Ryojiro was startled, and his body shook a few times
"In addition, all members of the Hatoyama family are suspected" Heiji Kano said as he took out a folded document, "This is an edict from His Majesty the Emperor, giving me full authority to quell the domestic riot I suspect that you, along with other members of the Hatoyama family, planned this riot and committed the crime of treason Japan has entered a state of emergency, and I hereby pronounce the sentence, all traitors will be executed on the spot"
"Luye, you are so vicious!"
Heiji Kano smiled coldly, took a step back, and said, "Arrest all members of the Hatoyama family, and the men will be shot immediately"
Soldiers with loaded guns immediately rushed forward, and those who dared to resist were immediately severely beaten
Not long after, gunshots were heard outside the courtyard
"Kano-kun, the other ......"
"Except for those few, let's enjoy the others haha......"
With the "booty" and under the protection of the escort army, Shikano Heiji left Hatoyama Manor with satisfaction
Hatoyama Manor, once more "prominent" than the Emperor's Palace, has been transformed into a human realm, and in addition to the blood flowing everywhere and the corpses that have been forcibly taken from their lives, the heinous atrocities have continued for an entire afternoon
This is just a microcosm of the riots in Japan
At 14:30 Tokyo time, the Minister of the Interior of the Japanese Cabinet declared a state of emergency in Japan in his capacity as acting prime minister, imposing martial law on the whole country
Far from being quelled, the riots intensified
Before his death, Ozawa announced the dissolution of the Diet and the holding of an early general election, which became the last straw that crushed Japan
According to Japanese law, the prime minister's early dissolution of the Diet requires the approval of the emperor, and it is illegal for Ozawa to dissolve the Diet without consulting the emperor, and the prime minister dies without legal effect, and the Minister of the Interior exercises the duties of the prime minister, and there is no violation of the law, and the Minister of the Interior does not have the right to declare a state of emergency According to the normal procedure, the ruling party first elects a new prime minister, and then the new prime minister declares the country an emergency
Not to mention that time is in a hurry, when Hatoyama Ryjiro is finished and people are panicking, how can the members of the Diet have the heart to choose the prime minister?
The suppression of domestic riots is certainly not possible with the police alone
Although the role played by the Ground Self-Defense Force in the East China Sea War was not very prominent and was not criticized much, a large number of officers and men of the Ground Self-Defense Force, especially low-ranking officers, were members of right-wing associations and were loyal believers in nationalism
At the time of the riots, Heiji Kano became the most "powerful" man in Japan
After mastering the Tokyo garrison, the first thing Heiji Kano did was to use the "Emperor's Edict" to eradicate the Hatoyama family and execute Hatoyama Ryojiro
Heiji Kano did this with the aim of completely destroying the DPJ and crushing the most threatening political enemy
He didn't expect that the execution of Hatoyama Ryojiro would have such terrible consequences
After 16 o'clock in the afternoon, as all the members of the Hatoyama family were murdered by the "mob", the news that Hatoyama Ryojiro died in the riot spread, and the riot in Japan quickly turned into a full-scale confrontation between the two major political forces
In the evening, street fighting broke out on the streets of Tokyo
The combination of a coalition of right-wing parties with white streamers over their heads and a coalition of right-wing parties with red ribbons on their heads has turned the world's largest city into the world's most brutal hell on earth
A large number of rioters took this opportunity to raid homes and loot houses, and Tokyo cried in the flames and smoke
At 1745 Beijing time, after sending a diplomatic note to the Japanese government, asking the Japanese government to provide all assistance for the republic's evacuation of overseas Chinese, the foreign minister of the Republic of China issued a diplomatic statement in front of hundreds of journalists
By this time, the first batch of 20 large passenger planes had already flown to major cities in Japan
According to the information provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China and the embassies and consulates in Japan, more than 240,000 Chinese in Japan have voluntarily returned to China, and there are still more Chinese who are flocking to the nearest embassy or consulate
At 18:20, after receiving the promise of the Japanese government, Ji Youguo issued an action order to the East China Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet
The two fleets headed for Japan as fast as they could, and used helicopters to evacuate the Chinese stranded at the embassy and consulates
In order to prevent the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force and Maritime Self-Defense Force from attacking the fleet from losing control, the air force and naval aviation were mobilized to provide air cover for the fleet
After the experimental special forces evacuated Chiweiyu, they directly followed the East China Sea Fleet to participate in the evacuation operation
The eyes of the world are on Japan and China
Before the conflict between China and Japan in the East China Sea is over, China has sent its fleet to Japan's doorstep, will it lead to a larger conflict? If Japan's Self-Defense Forces lose control and attack the Chinese fleet without authorization, will China retaliate against Japan and bomb military targets in the Japanese mainland by taking the initiative?
The question was answered quickly
At 1845 Tokyo time, the Japanese emperor finally "came forward" and called on the Japanese people to leave the streets and return to their homes, while the emperor also demanded that all Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers return to the barracks and not take any military action without authorization
The gesture of the emperor showed that Japan had abandoned its war operations with China
Under such circumstances, even if the Japanese Self-Defense Forces attacked the Chinese fleet, China would not rashly bomb the Japanese mainland
In the circumstances of that time, the republic also did not think about expanding the military conflict
For the 1.4 billion sons and daughters of China, the most important thing is to rescue the hundreds of thousands of compatriots trapped in Japan
The time has come to test China, and the difficulty of evacuating hundreds of thousands of students, tourists, and civilians in a very short period of time is no less difficult than fighting a large-scale regional war
By the early morning of the 29th, the Republic sent a total of 42 large passenger planes to evacuate 13,764 Chinese in Japan
Compared to the Chinese who voluntarily left Japan, this is not even a fraction
The riots in Japan were not quelled by the Emperor's "edict", and the street fighting on the streets of Tokyo became more and more intense, and some soldiers of the Ground Self-Defense Force even joined the fighting
At 21:50 Tokyo time, Heiji Kano walked into the Emperor's Palace
In the afternoon, after consulting with the directors general of the various parties of the right-wing coalition of political parties, Heiji Kano made a decision to "force the palace" to quell the riots in the country, and it was necessary to form a new government as soon as possible, exercise government powers, and mobilize the Self-Defense Forces to deal with the rioters
The decision-making power is not in the hands of the emperor, who is only a statue of the god in the shrine
At this time, a group of "thugs" stormed the home of the Japanese Minister of Internal Affairs, killed 21 members of the Interior Minister's family, and right-wing groups controlled by the coalition of right-wing political parties attacked hundreds of Democratic Party members and senators at the same time, purging the "remnants" of the Democratic Party in the Diet
What awaits the emperor will be a decision without choice
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) fell apart after Fukuda Tawen's death, and the DPJ collapsed after Hatoyama finished Hatoyama
Only a coalition of right-wing parties has the ability to form a government and quell unrest
Not many people could have expected that Heiji Kano would be able to have the last laugh
Not many people could have predicted that Heiji Kano ignited the pent-up ambition in the heart of the "Japanese Monster" for decades! (To be continued)
