Volume 3 The Stormy Waves of the East China Sea Chapter 95 Volcanic Eruption
β¦β¦ A second round of clashes broke out on the day, and if Roddick was only shocked, Hatoyama was angry t3
Before breakfast, Hatoyama Ryojiro received the report of the "first round of attack," and the old man in his 70s was stunned on the spot, and the perfectly planned offensive operation was a complete failure, and not only were nearly 100 fighters dispatched by the Air Self-Defense Force wiped out, but the fleet sent by the Maritime Self-Defense Force also went into the sea -- there was no return
At 7:30 a.m. Tokyo time, Hatoyama asked all cabinet officials, including Ozawa, to report on the situation
Ozawa took a helicopter after breakfast at 7:45 a.m. and went to Hatoyama Manor without hurrying
As the helicopter flew over Tokyo, Ozawa saw not only the long lines of traffic, but also the crowds pouring into the streets
No one organized, completely spontaneous mass demonstrations
Japan's re-defeat was only the trigger, and the turbulent financial markets, the sluggish domestic economy, the excessively high unemployment rate, the shrinking social welfare, and the incompetent cabinet government were all the objects of discontent among the Japanese people
With the resurgence of unrest, where should Japan go from here?
Ozawa did not feel guilty for revealing important information to the enemy's spies, and the defeat of Japan was only a matter of time, and turmoil always came
In 815, Ozawa walked into Hatoyama RyΕjiro's study
Subsequently, other cabinet officials arrived
Because he was not involved in military operations, Ozawa did not intend to take responsibility for anyone
For the next two hours, Ozawa listened attentively, did not say a word, and did not intercede for several doomed cabinet officials
At 10:20, the cabinet officials who were not "named" by Hatoyama left the study tremblingly
Ozawa was left alone by Hatoyama Ryojiro
"Please sit down, don't stand"
Ozawa hesitated for a moment and sat down on the sofa opposite Hatoyama Ryojiro
"I'm disappointed by the cabinet officials, but I didn't target you" Hatoyama Ryojiro tried to restrain his anger, "It was my mistake to exclude you from military action, and I apologize to you"
"Your Excellency's words are serious," Ozawa secretly raised his vigilance
"I heard that there are riots in Tokyo and other cities again?"
Ozawa nodded and said, "The specific situation is not very clear, I only found out after leaving the Prime Minister's Office"
"No one could have imagined that we would suffer such a miserable defeat," Hatoyama Ryojiro sighed, "Although you are not responsible for the military defeat, as the prime minister, you have the responsibility and obligation to maintain domestic stability."
"Ozawa is trying to figure it out"
"Really?" Hatoyama Hatoyama paused for a moment and said, "What good idea has you come up with?" β
"Ozawa believes that the most important thing at the moment is to restore the confidence of the people, and that as long as the people believe that we can win, the situation will be brought under control."
Hatoyama Kenjiro frowned slightly and said, "What about the specific measures?" β
"If there is a person of high moral integrity who can come forward, I believe that the vast majority of the people will regain their confidence" Ozawa thought very clearly, if he could trick Hatoyama Ryojiro to Tokyo, Kentaro Miyamoto would have a way to rescue Yuhimeko
"A respectable person?" Hatoyama smiled bitterly and said, "You're talking about me, right?" β
"Your Excellency is a veteran of the Democratic Party, if you come forward......"
"The problem is, I don't have a public office," Hatoyama Keijiro interrupted Ozawa and said, "If I intervene, it will only make the people more confused, and I feel that only two people have the power to quell the civil unrest at this time."
Ozawa frowned slightly and did not answer
"We can't let His Majesty the Emperor bear the national humiliation, so we can only ask His Excellency the Prime Minister to come forward."
"Me?" Ozawa hesitated, "What do you mean?" β
"It's up to you to call on the people to unite against a strong foreign enemy"
Ozawa secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But the cabinet of this realm has already disappointed the people, and I am afraid that it will be ......."
"Is there a better candidate? No matter how disappointed the people are, you are also the prime minister of the cabinet, the head of the Japanese government, and the supreme chief executive responsible to the emperor. β
"But......" Ozawa said after a deliberate pause, "the situation is chaotic right now, and most of the people are working or other places and are not staying at home......
"I will get the full cooperation of the press and release the news through various channels"
Ozawa nodded slightly and said, "It's better to make a televised speech immediately, so that the people who have not yet taken to the streets stay at home and let the riots be controlled"
Hatoyama Ryojiro pondered for a while and said, "You're right, go back and make relevant preparations immediately"
"Ozawa has taken his leave"
When Ozawa walked out of the study, it was time for Kentaro Miyamoto to pass by, and the prime minister gave the double agent a look
Just after 11 o'clock, Ozawa returned to the Prime Minister's Office
By this time, the riots in various parts of Japan had turned into riots, and members of right-wing associations dressed as samurai with streamers on their heads and Japanese flags poured into the streets, shouting all kinds of slogans, igniting the anger in the hearts of the ignorant people and inciting the extreme emotions of the ordinary people
The first to bear the brunt of the problem were Chinese in Japan, and in just one morning, 200 Chinese people met in Tokyo
Because there was no preparation, the limited number of police simply could not deal with the thousands of "thugs"
The riots spread rapidly, with nationalist sentiments wafting over Japan's major cities in the afternoon, spreading from large cities to small and medium-sized cities, eventually affecting every corner of Japan
At 1145 minutes, Kentaro Miyamoto returned to Tokyo
He did not go to see the prime minister, who had just called, but rushed to meet with Li Cunxun
"The news has been confirmed, and Hatoyama Ryantaro asked Ozawa to address the nation on television in an effort to quell the unrest"
"Is it possible?" Liu Xiaobin, who was dressed as a Japanese right-winger, smiled bitterly, "The riots have turned into riots, and there are smashing and looting everywhere in the city, not only the Chinese have been attacked, but many Japanese shops have been attacked, and the mayor of Tokyo has just declared martial law, but the anti-riot forces are blocked outside, and they can't enter the city at all, and the suppression has no effect, and the prime minister's speech will have an effect?" β
"This has nothing to do with us," Li Cunxun said as he took off his kimono, "Did Hatoyama Ryantaro ask you to do it immediately?" β
Kentaro Miyamoto nodded, and also took off his clothes
"Act according to the plan, you take someone to clean up Futian Duowen" Li Cunxun threw the kimono to Kentaro Miyamoto, "Xiaobin took Fei Fei to the airport, prepare my mobile phone, I will go to Ozawa and arrange his funeral"
"What about my family?"
"They had boarded the flight to Shanghai twenty minutes earlier, and our people were already waiting over there"
Kentaro Miyamoto let out a long breath, handed his coat to Li Cunxun, and said, "After completing the task, did you retreat according to the plan?" β
"The plan hasn't changed" Li Cunxun said while putting on Kentaro Miyamoto's coat, "Arrive at the rendezvous point on time, we will wait for you for fifteen minutes at most Also, remember what you have to do"
"Don't worry, I'll rush to the rendezvous point with what you want."
"Now, re-check the time of each move," Li Cunxun said, looking at his watch, "It's 1205 minutes, and I'll give the command to start the action in thirty-five minutes."
"Understood!" Liu Xiaobin calibrated the watch
Kentaro Miyamoto nodded and calibrated his watch as well
After glancing at the two, Li Cunxun returned to the car and got into Kentaro Miyamoto's car after taking the disguise tool
At 12:30, Lee Cunxun, dressed as Kentaro Miyamoto, walked into Ozawa's office
"How's it going?" Ozawa looked flustered
"Kentaro Miyamoto" pressed his hand, took out the audio jammer, wrapped it in newspaper and put it on the coffee table, and then said: "The rescue operation has begun, what about the preparations of His Excellency the Prime Minister?" β
"The secretary is preparing a speech," Ozawa glanced at his watch, "I'll go to the TV station in about 15 minutes."
Taking out a few stacked pieces of paper from the inner pocket of his suit, "Kentaro Miyamoto" handed it to Ozawa "Remember your promise"
"I know what to do, I want to see Yukiko"
"It's impossible to meet in person"
"No, if you can't be sure that Yukiko has left Japan safely, I won't cooperate with you"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, do you think that with the current situation, even if we are willing, you will be able to meet Miss Yukiko?"
Ozawa was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly darkened
"That's it, I'll help you get in touch" After speaking, "Kentaro Miyamoto" looked at his watch, took out his mobile phone, dialed a number first, and waited until the bell rang three times, he hung up the phone, dialed another number, and when the bell rang for the third time, the phone was connected and pressed the speakerphone, "Kentaro Miyamoto" put the phone on the coffee table and said: "I'm Miyamoto, how is the action?" β
"Ongoing, about to find a target"
"When will there be results, ten minutes, or twenty minutes?"
"At least twenty-five minutes, we've done our best"
"Keep up the good work, notify me immediately if there is news" After speaking, Kentaro Miyamoto "hung up the phone, but did not pick up the mobile phone" Your Excellency, you also heard it, the operation is ongoing, and it will be twenty-five minutes before the result is at the earliest"
"But, I'll have to go to the TV station in fifteen minutes."
"Kentaro Miyamoto" frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, you bring my mobile phone, and when there is a result, I will ask them to call this call directly"
"This ......," Ozawa also hesitated for a moment, and said, "Even so, how can I be sure that Yukiko is safe?" β
"Your Excellency, don't you know how to use video call mode?"
"You're saying I can see Yukiko on my phone?"
"Of course, you can also talk" After speaking, "Kentaro Miyamoto" stood up, "Your Excellency is surrounded by people from Hatoyama Keijiro, I can't stay too long to remember your promise, otherwise I don't dare to imagine what will happen to Miss Yuhime"
"You ......" Ozawa quickly controlled his emotions, "I will keep my promise, you have to make sure Yukiko is safe"
"Kentaro Miyamoto" smiled slightly and walked out of the prime minister's office
Outside there was a loud noise, and thousands of angry demonstrators surrounded the Prime Minister's Office (to be continued)
