Before he could recover from the declaration of war from the head of the republic, Wang Yuanqing, the news reached the Prime Minister's Office. [Full text reading]

In less than one hour, the Chinese Air Force dispatched hundreds of combat planes to destroy Japan's fixed missile launch positions and mobile missile launch vehicle depots at lightning speed, and only 12 missile launchers that had received an order from the military headquarters in advance and left the depot to go to the launch positions survived.

In other words, Japan has only 12 X-2 ballistic missiles left that can pose a threat to the republic.

Compared with the X-11 ballistic missile, the X-2 ballistic missile is characterized by its miniaturization. Japan has a strong aerospace capability and is capable of manufacturing advanced solid-fuel rocket engines, which have the necessary conditions for missile miniaturization. In addition, the X-2 missile has a reduced carrying capacity compared to the X-11 and can only be equipped with a small nuclear warhead. Because Japan has completed the miniaturization design of nuclear warheads as early as 2024, it can manufacture small nuclear warheads with a mass of less than 500 kg (including the warhead heat shield), so the X-2 has a maximum range of 3,500 kilometers and can also carry a reinforced fission nuclear warhead with an explosive yield of 5 to 10,000 tons, and its strike capability should not be underestimated.

The situation is not optimistic at all, and the survivability of missile launchers fleeing into the field is not strong.

After completing the first round of strikes, the Chinese Air Force will definitely assess the effectiveness of the strike. It won't be long before China's intelligence services will be able to use photographs taken by reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance planes to find that some of the missile launchers left the cave before the bombing and were not destroyed. Needless to say, China will certainly concentrate all its efforts on searching for Japan's missile launchers and bombing them for a second time, in an effort to dismantle Japan's strategic counterattack capability as soon as possible.

With the news coming from all sides, Shang Zhenzheng has already grasped China's war intentions.

The first round of bombing was entirely aimed at Japan's strategic counterattack forces, and not only the missile silos and missile launch vehicle depots were devastated, but the strategic counterattack command center and missile launch command center were also heavily bombed. At the last minute, the Chinese Air Force also bombed the base where the nuclear weapons were stored.

What makes Murakami Sadamasa hard to believe is that the bombing of the medium ** is very "accurate".

Important nuclear facilities and nuclear warehouses, including the underground nuclear warhead storage warehouse at Akita Air Base, the air-launched cruise missile warehouse on the outskirts of Tsurugao (some cruise missiles are equipped with nuclear warheads), the enrichment and enrichment warehouse on the outskirts of Mizusawa, the heavy water production base in the southern suburbs of Aomori, the heavy water warehouse at Hachinohe Port, and the heavy water reactor at Odate, were bombed.

No questions asked. China has mastered Japan's top secret!

This made Murakami very angry. Also helpless. Although the extent of the damage is not yet known. But Murakami knew that Japan had lost its nuclear capabilities. The rest of the land is only when the war is lost. These are secondary issues. With the outbreak of war, Shang Zhenzheng had to consider domestic threats.

Let Tsukasa Pheasant Ohno stay behind the Prime Minister's Office. Murakami Sadamasa gave Yamaga Sujing an order to prepare for war.

At all costs. We must stabilize the domestic situation and prevent turmoil in Japan.

Sadamasa Murakami was able to take control of Tokyo. But they can't control the whole of Japan. As the most talented politician in Japan. Murakami is well aware of the impact the war has had on the military. Although he gave the order for war mobilization before the outbreak of the war. And let the military department prepare for the war is before that. All of Murakami's policies are aimed at avoiding China. If someone has bad intentions. can use this to challenge Murakami Sadamasa. Even the Murakami family is the most influential military family in Japan. In front of the national righteousness. The vast majority of military personnel will not "compromise" Murakami's policy in a "compromise" manner. It is even possible to oppose the ouster of Murakami from the Prime Minister's Office by politicians because of this.

It's really going to come this far. Japan is not far from being wiped out.

Murakami Sadamasa didn't want to be a slave to the country, and he didn't want Japan to be buried in his own hands. Action must be taken, and action must be taken immediately.

After receiving a call from Yamaga Sujing, Kamisadamaa took the initiative to contact cabinet officials and military generals.

After 13 o'clock Tokyo time, Kitayama Shikawa, Higashiki Tani Katsu and other cabinet ministers Fuji Nobusai, Takashima Fanichi and other military generals came to the Prime Minister's Office one after another.

The atmosphere was very tense, and in addition to the overflowing anger, it could be seen that almost everyone was dissatisfied with the "concession" policy pursued by Murakami. It is clear that there are already people who are stirring up discontent and want to take advantage of the opportunity to create chaos and get Murakami to hand over the power in his hands.

"I've asked Shunji Kiryu to prepare, and I'll be speaking to the whole country in half an hour." Murakami's expression was even more grim, "You all know that war has broken out. Although this is not a war that we need, it is a war that we cannot avoid and that has a bearing on the survival of the Yamato nation. In the face of the great enemy, we must unite sincerely and work together in order to defeat China and win the final victory. ”

As Murakami Sadamasa showed his determination to fight, the look of the military generals improved slightly.

"From now on, the army will first enter a state of war, and I will give the order for war mobilization in time." Murakami Sadamasa glanced at the people present and said, "The national mobilization will be launched as soon as possible, and the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Culture and Education."

Cabinet officials must actively cooperate, and various departments must take active action, and they must complete preparations for war and give full play to the country's war potential. ”

Several ministers agreed, without the slightest delay.

"Minister for Foreign Affairs!"

Kitayama Shikawa's brows jumped a few times, as if there was a ghost in his heart.

"Although the war came very suddenly, we must not fight alone, and we must make the best use of external forces." Murakami said with a serious face, "Shina is not only our enemy, but also the enemy of many countries, including the United States and India. After declaring war on China, I will call the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of India on the hotline to express our attitude of fighting to the death. If nothing else, the United States and India will give us what they can. Telephone calls alone cannot fully convince the United States and India of our resolve to war and the difficulties we face, and that someone must explain the situation in person and get more assistance. ”

Kitayama Shikawa was late and said, "The prime minister means ......"

"As Minister of Foreign Affairs, it is my duty to represent Japan in visiting friendly countries and seeking assistance for Japan."

Chief Shikawa Kitayama: Nodding his head and agreeing.

"I've asked Shunji Kiryu to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs: I have arranged an itinerary for my visit." Murakami Sadamasa did not give Kitayama Shikawa any chance, "Time is pressing, and there is no room for delay." Before China could expand its strike and blockade our airspace, Kitayama-kun immediately went to Washington to meet with the President of the United States on my behalf and to obtain support for the war. ”

"I'm ......" Kitayama Shikawa said late, "we don't have any preparations, we ...... to visit the United States"

"From Tokyo to the United States, it will take more than 10 hours to complete the preparation work during this period." Murakami Sadamasa glanced at Kitayama Shikawa and said, "Generally, Yama-kun can make his own decisions; For major matters, contact me by phone, and I will give orders directly. ”

Kitayama Shikawa didn't say anything more.

Glancing at Kitayama Shikawa again, Mura Sadamasa turned his gaze to the generals of the military department. "There is no room for manoeuvre in a war for us. The first round of strikes launched by Shina has proved that the purpose of Shina is not only to eliminate our nuclear forces, but also to take this opportunity to destroy the Yamato nation. We have no room to retreat, and we must prove our determination to resist the war with our actions. The Yamato nation has reached a critical point of life and death, and we must let China know that even if we fight to the last time, we will not bow our proud heads. Chief of the Military Department! ”

"In!" Sato Shinsai immediately stood up.

"Immediately issue a 'Tianzihao' combat order to carry out a strategic counterattack on China!"

Sato Shinsai was stunned for a moment and said, "Prime Minister, how many missiles do you need to launch?" ”

"All!" Murakami Sadamasa replied very simply: "Shina brazenly launched a war, and only the most resolute counterattack can show our determination to fight to the death!" ”

"Yes!" Sato Shinsai immediately agreed.

Sadamasa Murakami took out the "nuclear key" he was carrying and handed it to Tsukasa Ohnozuka, who was sitting next to him.

Any country that possesses nuclear weapons has the strictest rules for the use of nuclear weapons, and in order to launch a ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead, it needs a nuclear code in the possession of the prime minister, in addition to the instructions of the chief of the military department. In general, the nuclear code is not in the direct possession of the Prime Minister, but by one of the Prime Minister's secretaries.

"Takashima-kun, the Air Force will immediately dispatch to regain air supremacy and intercept the combat planes in China."

Takashima didn't hesitate and immediately got up and left.

Murakami Sadamasa let out a long breath and turned his gaze to Uesugi Tadarumo.

"Your Excellency, the Navy is ready for war and ready to carry out combat missions at any time."

Murakami Sadamasa nodded and said, "Shina will definitely send an aircraft carrier battle group into the western Pacific to implement a strategic blockade against our country."

The task of the navy was to defeat the Chinese fleet, seize sea supremacy, and ensure the safety of sea routes. Draw up relevant battle plans as soon as possible, and before that, the fleet should be active in the coastal waters, and should not rush into a decisive battle with the Chinese fleet. ”

"Prime Minister, I am fully sure that I will defeat the Shina Fleet and the Navy ......."

"Uesugi-kun, didn't you hear the Prime Minister's orders clearly?" Toki Tanikatsu immediately scolded Uesugi Tadaro.

Murakami Sadamasa pressed his hand and said, "Uesugi-kun, I believe in the capabilities of the navy, but the Great Japanese Empire can no longer afford any losses. Maritime transport is our lifeblood, and the navy is our foundation. I don't want anything bad to happen to the Great Japanese Empire until I'm fully prepared. If anyone is arrogant and plays with the lifeblood of the Yamato nation, even if he apologizes for his crimes, he will not be able to account to the emperor and the 140 million people of Yamato. ”

Uesugi Tadataro kept his mouth shut and did not argue with the prime minister again.

"Let's all go and prepare, don't waste time."

When everyone left the study, Murakami Sadamasa breathed a sigh of relief.

Forced by the domestic situation, Murakami had to take the most critical step. Driving out Kitayama Shikawa and stabilizing the generals of the military department can only ensure Murakami's dominance in Japan.

The question now is, will China launch a strategic nuclear counterattack against Japan? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidi, more chapters, author,! )
