Chapter 425 – 425
“Those who think that the person who tore it up is a ‘comrade’ can travel back and forth without limit. However, if the person who tore the scroll crosses the portal in a round trip, the portal disappears. You look like you don’t believe it, let’s try the experiment and see for ourselves. … Umm, Kondo, where do you think you most want to go right now?”
“A place you most want to visit…? ?”
“No, not just a place you want to visit. Strategically. What would be the best place to hit this place? Arrange for the guy whose house is there. Accept him as a comrade and make him tear up this portal scroll.”
“Strategically, the place you want to hit the most is…, This is the area of Kyushu that is most out of our reach. Fukuoka, the largest city in Kyushu, is the best. This could cause panic in the Japanese government, which was at ease. Next, Osaka, Japan’s second-largest city, is also okay, and Yokohama, where the Japanese government is obsessed, is also okay.”
“Then search for the guy whose home is in those areas. It has to be someone who thinks that place is home. … Hmm, or is there anyone who lives in Fukuoka, Kyushu right now?”
“… Me, me! … I am from Fukuoka, Kyushu!”
A subordinate raised his hand in response to my question.
I called a guy from Fukuoka, Kyushu over to me and asked him a few questions.
“You’ve never bought a house in Tokyo or anywhere else, right? “Do you only have houses in Fukuoka?”
“… No, no. “I was brought here to Tokyo after being in Fukuoka.”
“Good night. Then tear this scroll.”
“Hi!”
When the subordinate who had a house in Fukuoka tore the scroll, a blue oval portal was created and the subordinates looked surprised.
“I’d like to go on a trip to Fukuoka for a while. Hey, you guys. Everyone, except the one who tore the scroll, follow me.”
As I took the lead and entered the portal, the Four Heavenly Kings and their subordinates, including Musi Kondo, followed me into the portal.
Then, we saw the quiet residential complexes and houses with a warm atmosphere in the city of Fukuoka, Kyushu spread out before our eyes.
It looks roughly like the two-story house of the main character in the animation called Changyu, which I watched as a child.
It seems that the house of the guy who tore the portal is located within this housing complex.
“… Oh my, is this really a power that transcends space? . Oh my, this is ridiculous…, Oh my god…”
Muji Kondo seemed to be confused, and he sat down and stuttered, probably because his feet were weak.
The former Ground Self-Defense Force officer felt very confused because it was something supernatural and unbelievable.
However, as a capable person with a strong mind and excellent mental resilience, he immediately cleared the confusion in his head and devised a way to use the portal scroll I gave him.
“… My lord, if we have this portal scroll, I think we can maintain the national strategy with our absolute advantage. This portal scroll…, It is a dream item for military commanders around the world.”
Muji Kondo used his subordinates who had homes all over Japan to move and supply troops through portals, and spewed out strategic tactics that would embarrass the Japanese government.
Muji Kondo’s face, overflowing with joy, was the face of a commander on the verge of victory.
“Okay, take care of that yourself.”
“Master, by any chance, this portal scroll. Could you please supply more? Chapter 50…, No, even if there are just 10 more chapters…”
“We will supply 100 or 1,000 sheets. Don’t worry. Write it all down and tell me again if you need to.”
“Master…”
With a face filled with emotion, Musi Kondo asked to have a private meeting with me for a moment.
I allowed him to be alone and the two of us talked quietly.
“Sir, I will be very honest. Actually, until I received this portal scroll…, We estimated that the chances of our revolution succeeding were less than 1%. In fact, even less than 1% is a large figure. It might have been 0.01%…”
“Okay? Really? You never said that. You were more passionate and worked harder than anyone else…, Did you really think the chances of success were that low?”
“I am…, Family, honor, military uniform…, A man with a failed life who lost what was everything in my life. So I wanted to show it to the Japanese government. The uniformed soldier you abandoned was actually such a capable soldier. This is how they inflicted such a blow on Japan with municipal miscellaneous soldiers made by combining people from lower class life. He is a lowly man who wanted to show this… Please forgive me…”
“No. That’s quite possible. I understand you. And that’s why you and I are a good match.”
“Master…, Thank you…”
“Anyway, so. Is the story you wanted to say a confession?
“No. It’s different now. … Since my lord gave me this scroll, I have finally seen the possibility of success. We…, I believe that the chances of success in negotiations with the Japanese government are now over 95%. … My lord, it seems that you view the utility value of this item as much lower than you think. My lord, this is a revolution. It is an item that will revolutionize not only military availability, but also logistics, travel, and human exchange…”
“… That’s right… Maybe…”
If the portal is open, people no longer need to travel by boat or plane.
The same goes for logistics movement.
Large objects can be moved by breaking them into pieces.
Assembly parts do not exist for nothing.
“It is a huge military object. With this item, we can now send our troops to strike anywhere in the world. All you have to do is find people who consider the target area their ‘home’. I don’t think there will be any particular need for the Navy anymore. Furthermore, please consider connecting oil pipes, gas pipes, transmission lines, cable lines, etc. Through this portal passage… Oil from the Middle East is delivered to Japan directly through the Portal oil pipeline without any transportation process… !”
“Uhm…, Uh…, I had never thought of that. … Wow, that’s amazing.”
‘… Somehow. The second older sister in reality…, That’s why she said that portal scrolls must be absolutely hidden in reality. My second sister would have known. The power of the portal…’
“If this portal has the power… ! Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force can strike anywhere in the world! Haha, haha… ! The new Japan that the Lord is creating… ! It is to become the most powerful country in the world… !! Haha… ! Haha… ! If your lord knows that you have this kind of power, the current Japanese government might start negotiating with us sincerely. They, too, would be very interested in great Japan, Japan that runs the world… !”
Muji Kondo was filled with joy, showing a side he had never seen before.
It seemed like he was in a perfect mood.
‘It’s a little different from what I thought…, I plan to turn Japan into an asshole…’
Great Japan? Japan running the world?
I wasn’t interested in that at all.
It would be better to just fuck all the Japanese women…, Or if it means fucking all the women in the world…
‘… But what about negotiation? Does Kondo think he should negotiate with the Japanese government?’
“Kondo Musi. Do you think we will eventually have to negotiate with the Japanese government?”
“… Yes. …, … My lord, please do not misunderstand and listen to me. To be honest, I also want to destroy the existing Japanese government and establish a new Japan in this country. … However, that is almost impossible. Even though we have Portal Scroll, we lack the justification and image to persuade the Japanese people.”
This is the image of our rebels now…
Perhaps they feel like a gang of thugs who commit murder, arson, rape, and robbery at will?
‘Strangely, doesn’t every organization I govern end up like this? It seems like they always turn into gangs of robbers.’
“We do not have a proper national governance philosophy or vision. Its military power is also weak. If the Japanese government starts to move beyond the aftermath of the surprise attack and respond properly…, The portal scroll will only be used as an escape device. To be honest, the reason our revolution was able to succeed at all was only because of my master’s ability. An overwhelming military supply capability for unknown reasons.”
Kondo Musi viewed the success of the rebellion itself very pessimistically from a long-term perspective.
But when I looked at it, it seemed like his perspective was right.
“Once our military begins to use this portal capability to operate its forces, we will certainly achieve tremendous success in the beginning. However, as time passes, the Japanese government will certainly begin to take countermeasures. If that happens, it will be our inevitable defeat. Japan is a huge country. “A ragtag group of rebels like us, organized overnight, cannot succeed forever.”
“Hmm…”
