Ever since rumors emerged that someone heard the sound of gunfire in the suburbs of Edogawa, the civil atmosphere in Tokyo has become strange.
People were talking about whether there was going to be a war.
Although the penetration rate of telephones in this era was not very high, there were naturally a lot of dignitaries near the capital of the country.
So it didn't take long.
At the foot of Mount Fuji, tens of thousands of unknown black troops emerged from the sea of Aokigahara trees. Major cities in Yamanashi Prefecture, including Kofu, have fallen, and the 49th Infantry Regiment of the First Division was completely wiped out. Various shocking news.
Following the long telephone lines, we quickly reached various wards and cities near Tokyo.
This news first panicked the wealthy class, and then inevitably spread to the outside world, triggering waves of exclamations and uproar.
But it's not over yet. Next, almost every hour, new news will be leaked inexplicably.
Yokosuka Naval Base was captured!
The 10th Division, Jade Broken!
The attackers were not human troops, but giants, dragons, monsters, gods, all kinds of bizarre but vividly described rumors spread in the air like a virus.
Those who don't know are half-convinced, and those who know are frightened and want to take their families to escape, but they are worried about the chaos outside and misfortune.
In short, amidst countless sounds mixed with magical elements, Tokyo is in chaos!
Just at this moment.
In the center of Tokyo, the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda Ward welcomed five cabinet ministers including Prime Minister Kato, Minister Yoneno, Minister Usama and Marine, Minister Riku Shibato, and Chief of Naval Command Hirasaki.
They had received an order from the emperor to summon them.
The emperor of this era is not the emperor after the surrender of World War II. He holds the highest real power in the country and is the real leader.
However, the current emperor, because he was frail since childhood, is less meddlesome than his predecessor.
But now that there is such a critical situation in the country, of course he has to step forward, after all, he is almost beaten to the doorstep!
"Where is Hasegawa-kun?"
As soon as the five people gathered in front of the main gate and prepared to enter the Imperial Palace through the double iron bridge, Prime Minister Kato discovered that the Chief of Army Staff had not arrived, which made him look at the Minister of War, Riku Shibato, in confusion.
"Uh...I don't know very well. It should be arriving soon, or it may be delayed due to something."
Rikuo Shibato was also confused.
At this time, the large iron door in front of him slowly opened under the push of guards on both sides.
A moment later, everyone saw the current emperor sitting on the throne in the Meiji Imperial Palace, a short-legged man with not much flesh on his face and looking rather thin.
This is because the Imperial Family has a so-called wife selection organizing committee. The prince's wife is not only required to be beautiful and dignified, but must have royal blood, and must not be taller than the prince's shoulders to show the nobility of the future emperor.
But in this case, every time there is an intermarriage between two dwarfs, of course the children born will not be tall.
The worst thing is that because this traditional rule has a long history, there is no possibility of inheriting tall people from one generation to another...
Ranwen
"His Majesty!"
The five ministers bowed and greeted the emperor on the stage.
"Well, without further ado, let's talk about the situation now, which force is the army in Yamanashi Prefecture, and when will the surrounding divisions arrive in Tokyo?"
The Foot Pot Chicken Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"I'm very sorry. We haven't found out the origin of this group of troops yet. We only know that they are extremely well-equipped and use unprecedented firearms, but their rate of fire is comparable to that of heavy machine guns. The rifles in the hands of our soldiers are completely unable to compete with them.
!”
Prime Minister Shibato Riku's tone was full of disbelief, and then he continued.
"Not only that, according to the information from the Army General Staff Headquarters, we have learned about the 12th Division, 6th Division, 10th Division, 3rd Division, 4th Division, as well as the Navy's Yokosuka base and dance
Crane Base was all subject to strange attacks.
And without exception, they all sent emergency reports requesting support!”
"So what you are saying is that apart from the First Division, there will be no other divisions coming to defend the capital?"
The emperor's face turned pale, and he began to feel something bad in his heart.
"Your Majesty, we still have many second-class divisions, and there are tens of thousands of police forces here in Tokyo. If we issue them firearms, they can go to the battlefield!"
Riku Shibato hurriedly comforted him, but then Prime Minister Kato suddenly took out a photo and said.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to take a look at this photo. This photo was taken by an Asahi Daily reporter who was interviewing people affected by the disaster in Fujiyoshida City."
Under the emperor's gaze, a waiter from the Imperial Household Agency stepped forward and took the photo, then handed it over to the former's hands.
"this......"
The moment the emperor's eyes moved to the photo, his eyes widened immediately, because it actually showed a picture of a long dragon soaring into the sky with Mount Fuji as the background.
Although the tone is black and white, it is still clear, and this is a simple era where photos are irrefutable proof.
"When the Fourth Division of Kyushu Island requested support, they mentioned that the one who attacked them was a blue dragon..." Prime Minister Kato said quietly.
"Why?"
The Emperor believed it, but just because he believed it, he felt unbelievable. He looked at the figure of Qinglong in the photo and murmured to himself.
"Are the gods of Takamagahara going to send down divine punishment, or is a group of demons appearing to cause trouble?"
"what should we do?"
Suddenly, he suddenly stood up, looked at the ministers firmly, and said: "Everyone, follow me to the temple to worship the gods!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The five cabinet ministers all bowed and agreed.
If before, they were half-convinced about the theory of ghosts and gods, and even regarded them as legends, now they are convinced that there really are gods and Buddhas everywhere in the world.
In this case, rather than relying on an army, it is better to pray to God and worship Buddha...
Thirty minutes ago.
When the five ministers had just arrived at the main entrance of the Imperial Palace.
There have been obvious commotions and exclamations in Chiyoda, Minato and Chuo wards.
Especially on the main streets, uu readwww.uukanshu.com there are black figures.
, brazenly running towards various government agencies in the country at extremely fast speeds.
They completely ignored the shocked shouts of the people on the street, climbed over the walls, or walked in the air, showing off scenes of fantastic scenes.
These people were the members of Cipher Pol who originally carried out the exploration mission. Later, they lurked under the orders of the Alien Strategy Committee.
And their current target is the National Assembly, the Military Building, the Police Headquarters, and even the Imperial Residence!
【Whoosh! Whoosh!】
"What are you...uh..."
【Pfft————】
The two soldiers guarding the gate of the military headquarters were shocked when they saw the dark figure rushing towards them. Just as they were about to take off the rifles from their backs, an afterimage quickly passed by them, and even more appeared between their eyebrows.
There was a big bloody hole.
at the same time.
A dozen cipher pols in black suits rushed in from multiple directions, no, it should be said that they rushed into the building that represented the headquarters of the Imperial Army!
Whether it was an officer encountered in the corridor, a guard running over, a janitor cleaning up, or a clerk holding documents, they were all killed by this group of cold-blooded agents who did not blink an eye.
The gunshots and roars eventually turned into screams and a muffled sound when falling to the ground...
"what's the situation!"
Chief of Staff Hasegawa, who had just received the order from the emperor in the office and was about to go to the Imperial Palace to see him, changed his face when he heard the movement outside. He subconsciously took out the pistol in the holster, and then picked up the katana on the knife holder.
【boom!】
The next moment, the door exploded, and a black figure slowly emerged from the smoke with the smell of blood...
