Chapter 160 – 160

“Before World War II, the Metropolitan Police Headquarters was attacked during the May 15 incident, when the Prime Minister was assassinated by soldiers. In the February 26 incident in which the Hwangdo faction moved, five police officers were killed in the line of duty. That is why civilian officials and police officers are always on the lookout for a coup by the Self-Defense Forces. The Japanese police are still watching out for military coups by the Self-Defense Forces by creating a ‘Self-Defense Force Surveillance Unit’ in the public security department. Because of the precedent, we do not completely trust each other.”

So, in order to save one’s life, literally, to save one’s life, one could run away to the U.S. Army camp in Japan to avoid the guillotines or bamboo spears of the angry People’s Revolutionary Army, or to avoid the guns of the Self-Defense Forces that would stage a coup under the pretext of popular will. .

“And I also ordered some of my subordinates to work to create discord here. “It is to our advantage if the emergency cabinet government and the Self-Defense Forces do not trust each other.”

“You did very well. … But would the Japanese government really run away to the U.S. Military camp?”

“It is not an unprecedented event in world history.”

Kondo Musi gave some examples. Among them, two caught my ear. It happened in Korea.

An incident in which the king of the old Joseon Dynasty fled to the Russian embassy.

When a coup occurred in Korea, the then Minister of National Defense also fled to a US military base.

After listening to Kondo Musi’s words, I found that his words were not at all unconvincing.

“US Army in Japan… , Hmm… , It would be difficult if the U.S. Army in Japan moves… If the U.S. Army in Japan starts protecting the Japanese government, won’t we be swept away like leaves in a cold wind? The U.S. Army is very difficult to deal with.”

“… ? There won’t be much trouble.”

“What do you mean? “If the U.S. Army in Japan intervenes, I don’t think we will be a match.”

“It’s not like that. The main forces of U.S. Forces in Japan are concentrated in the Navy and Air Force. Of the U.S. Forces in Japan, only a handful are from the Army, and most of them are non-combat units in the combat Rather, the Ground Self-Defense Force armored division in Hokkaido is more powerful.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. That’s right. And unless the Japanese government wants to borrow the power of the United States and have blood on its hands, the Navy and Air Force of the U.S. Forces in Japan will never move. The United States will also know this well , so it will not make any moves. On the contrary, if our power increases and we advance to Yokohama, the U.S. Military may drive out the Japanese government. “I don’t want to get caught up in a civil war for no reason. ..”

If I were to interpret Kondo Musey’s words, it meant that the U.S. Air Force or U.S. Navy would never move unless the Japanese government officially requested the U.S. Government to bomb downtown Tokyo.

And it was also said that if such a thing was done, whether successful or not, the United States would hear that the American military had killed Japanese citizens, so the United States would not move.

That was correct.

In the first place, if you wanted to bomb downtown Tokyo, you could use the Air Self-Defense Force or the Maritime Self-Defense Force, but there was no reason to request it from the United States, and even if you did, there was no reason for the United States to step forward when it clearly knew about the situation.

For no reason, the hands of American soldiers became dirty by being covered in blood instead.

“I think the chances of the United States getting involved in this civil war are very low at this point. As a close example, didn’t the United States just stand by and watch when a coup took place in Korea? Unless we are hostile to the United States and unless we undermine its core values ​​and interests, the United States will remain silent. Moreover, the U.S. Military in Japan and the army are weak, so it is not easy to intervene.”

“Hmm.”

“If it looks like we are going to end up in a protracted war, there will be a hole in America’s East Asia-Pacific security plan, so we will intervene, but if we handle it well, will the United States really want to shed the precious blood of American citizens? There is no reason or justification to intervene in another country’s civil war.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes that’s right. I would like to make a further comment as I wonder if you are concerned about the U.S. Army in Japan. The U.S. Army in Japan consists mostly of non-combat troops, with approximately 2,000 to 3,000 troops. Most of the Troops are auxiliary forces of the General Supply Depot, Combat Support Unit, Transport Corps, Ammunition Depot, and Health Corps that support the Navy and Air Force.The rest are air defense artillery, engineers, communications, intelligence, and military bands… “The actual combat force is only one battalion of the Special Forces.”

‘Hmm, is that much… ? . Without realizing it, I overestimated the power of the US Army in Japan. Since I lived in Korea, I was mistaken for the US military stationed in Korea…’

“If the U.S. Wants to intervene, it will probably only move after bringing in nearby U.S. Forces stationed in Korea and deploying the Marine Corps deployed toward the Nansei Islands or the rapid deployment brigade from the U.S. Mainland. “Doing something with just one special forces battalion means using their capabilities in an inappropriate place.”

Muji Kondo seemed to be wary of U.S. Intervention, so he told me roughly about the troops the U.S. Currently has available.

And the more I listen to him… , I learned that what I was worried about was the US troops stationed in Korea, not the US troops stationed in Japan.

The US Forces in Korea had the concept of an invincible grand army that boasted a huge size similar to the Korean army, but the US Army in Japan was merely a copy of the Air Force and Navy.

It was a place to carry out combat support concepts such as fuel, ammunition, supplies, transportation, support, health care, etc. For the Air Force and Navy of the U.S. Forces in Japan, and was not an actual combat force.

‘Well, from the U.S. Perspective, there is no reason to deploy army combat troops to Japan, an island country. It is beneficial to just have the Navy and Air Force.’

Just as the roles of the Korean and Japanese troops were determined under the command of the U.S. Military when a major war broke out in East Asia, the roles of the U.S. Forces in Korea and the U.S. Forces in Japan were also clear, so it was inefficient to deploy combat troops to the U.S. Forces in Japan.

Even so, the military is a group that always believes that there is a shortage of troops, and if there were army combat troops to be deployed to the U.S. Forces in Japan, they should have been deployed to the U.S. Forces in Korea.

“Right. I know what you mean. Then let’s just move on without worrying about the U.S. Army in Japan.”

“Yes, I understand.”

I was told by Muji Kondo that the United States would not intervene, but he was anxious and ordered another subordinate to contact the U.S. Embassy.

Muji Kondo was just a human being. He wasn’t a perfect person. His prediction could have been wrong.

So, I decided to roast and boil America just in case.

“Contact the U.S. Embassy and let them know that we are standing up for a better neighborly and friendly relationship with the United States. We have no intention of being hostile to them, and we will accept all the conditions they ask for except those that are directly disadvantageous to us. We also say that if we take control of Japan, we will continue our relationship with the United States on much better terms. Say. … Well, just let them know that I am pro-American, and our entire organization is pro-American.”

“Yes, my lord.”

After sending my subordinate, I felt a little relieved.

The next agenda was related to negotiations that the Japanese government sent behind closed doors.

But on TV, they said there was no negotiation with terrorism and made a very damn show… , Why doesn’t everything make sense?

The Japanese government said they would soon wipe us out, but wanted to negotiate with the rebel representative behind the scenes.

“Let’s negotiate already? Originally… , There is no negotiation with terrorists, isn’t that something like that? I think they said it that way on TV too.”

“This is a typical tactic of Western countries. This is also according to what I learned. Even though the United States and Japan say they have no negotiations with terrorists, they all negotiate behind the scenes. At the same time, if you collect information and are successful, you can completely eliminate the enemy leadership with high-performance killer drones or assassination or beheading operations.”

“… I guess so.”

“Yes that’s right. “My lord.”

Before I knew it, the Four Heavenly Kings, including Muji Kondo, who was an officer in the Ground Self-Defense Force, were calling me by a new title, ‘Master’ rather than ‘Oya-bung’.

However, not all of my subordinates called me that, and only those close to me tended to call me that.

However, if these guys kept saying ‘Master, Lord’, it seemed like other guys would start calling ‘Master’ as well.

Muji Kondo was a former Ground Self-Defense Force officer, so he read me clearly, as if reading the palm of his hand, what the Self-Defense Forces and Japan’s emergency cabinet wanted.

“Once they signal that they want to negotiate underwater, they can gain various advantages.”

“What is that? Are you spying on our information?”

“You’re right. My lord. Currently, the Japanese government does not know who our representatives and leaders are. We do not know anything in detail about our true identity, size of troops, training level, personnel information, etc. Once the emergency cabinet is stabilized, we will gradually figure it out at a rapid pace… , So far, this gap in information is clearly our advantage and advantage. “If you learn the true nature of our organization during negotiations, the information gap will be reduced, and it will also be more advantageous to later carry out a beheading operation to remove the leadership.”

“Well, that’s right.”

“Also, they will ask for negotiations and of course they will propose a ceasefire. In the meantime, we will buy time and make full preparations to subdue us. Time will be on the Japanese government’s side once it regains stability after taking refuge in Yokohama or Osaka and begins to devise a full-scale response. This is a complete change from when time was on our side. Now we are in a position of being chased.”
