Chapter 44 The Great Kanto Earthquake breaks out!

Near noon on September 1923, 9, neon Tokyo

As it is a Saturday during the holiday, the Tokyo area is bustling with people coming and going. Businessmen and office workers are still busy with their last tasks in the morning, housewives are starting to cook, and the stations are filled with pedestrians preparing to go on vacation.

There is no doubt that Japan is still doing well as the dividends of the First World War have not yet ended. At least the practice of openly buying and selling girls from Southeast Asia in exchange for resources has been stopped. Japan's industrial capacity and economic prosperity in all aspects have improved the living standards of citizens living in Tokyo. In addition, many new rich people have gathered in Tokyo, making this big city of Tokyo more prosperous.

However, no one would have thought that such a huge disaster would come suddenly!

When a violent and sudden tremor came from deep underground, the first thought that popped into the minds of all Tokyo residents who felt the strong tremor was "An earthquake has occurred!", and they instinctively wanted to seek refuge in open areas.

After all, in Japan, where earthquakes occur frequently, earthquakes are not a rare disaster. They can even be said to be a part of Japanese people's daily life. However, everyone soon discovered that the magnitude of this earthquake was unprecedented. Everyone seemed to be riding on a small boat out to sea in a severe storm, tossing from side to side and unable to stand still. The shaking earth easily destroyed all the buildings of the past.

The whole Tokyo seemed to have turned into a toy thrown into a crusher. Countless tall buildings built in the past collapsed in an instant, and fire and thick smoke were everywhere in Tokyo, as if the whole Tokyo was burning!

It turned out that when the earthquake occurred, it was almost noon, and many citizens in Tokyo were busy making lunch, and many families had fires burning. The earthquake hit, and the stoves were overturned, flames splashed, and sparks flew everywhere. Not only was Tokyo very densely populated, but most of the houses were made of bamboo and wood. The earthquake also destroyed the gas pipelines, and the gas overflowed, which would ignite as soon as it met fire. Bamboo and wood houses were excellent fuel, and Tokyo was turned into a sea of ​​fire in a short time.

At the same time, the shock wave brought by the earthquake stirred up huge gales in the area. The wind helped the fire to burn more and more fiercely. The fire area quickly turned into a sea of ​​​​fire. Moreover, the strong winds also spread the dangerous fire in all directions.

In Japan's experience, during the Tokugawa shogunate period, when Tokyo was still Edo, it suffered many fires, causing heavy losses time and time again. It was even ridiculed as the "Flower of Edo". However, the Japanese are not stupid and do not know the fact that once bamboo and wooden buildings are gathered together, they are very prone to fire. But Japan really does not have the resources to build better buildings.

Just like the saying "Why not eat meat?", in the feudal era of the Tokugawa shogunate, it was a daydream for Japan to build brick and stone buildings or reinforced concrete buildings throughout Edo. Even though Japan has now barely stepped into the threshold of industrialization, it can be said that replacing all the buildings in Tokyo with reinforced concrete materials would cost an astronomical figure and is simply impossible to achieve.

Now, Tokyo has to pay the price for the fact that most of the buildings are made of bamboo and wood. Wherever the fire spreads, there will be a huge fire. Factories are burning, schools are burning, residential houses are burning, as if everything is burning. The whole of Tokyo is like being engulfed by the flames, as if the sky is burning, and the speed of the fire spread is beyond people's imagination. In a short time, the whole of Tokyo was engulfed by the fire.

Faced with the double disaster of earthquake and fire, the people who had just survived the earthquake did not even have time to dig out their injured relatives who were still calling for help from the rubble. They had to abandon their relatives buried in the rubble and flee from their homes that were about to become a fire scene. The Tokyo fire brigade rushed out in full force at the first opportunity, but they soon discovered that the underground water pipes had been destroyed in the earthquake.

The strong earthquake has destroyed the underground water pipes laid in Tokyo. When the firefighters were preparing to put out the fire, they found that the water pipe valves were open but there was not a drop of water. Instead, water was directly gushing out of many cracks in the road.

Soon, the aftershocks caused by the earthquake continued. Tokyo even felt aftershocks from time to time and many cracks appeared. Many people could not avoid them and fell directly into the terrible gaps. Then, those people were suddenly swallowed up by the cracks that were like the bloody mouth of a devil. Their fate was even that no body was left. The occasional pools of blood and mud that could be seen from the cracks gave people an idea of ​​their miserable fate.

However, no one in Tokyo is paying attention to the dead now, because the fire caused by the earthquake has attracted everyone's attention. The raging fire enveloped Tokyo for a short time, and then quickly turned into a huge fire disaster.

The raging fire in the sky scorched the air to a temperature higher than the burning point of paper in a short time. After that, there was no need for fire to ignite the flames. Wherever the terrible scorching wind blew, it started to burn. Paper was burning, wood was burning, houses were burning, and the dead, the injured, the living, and the people who were unfortunately engulfed by the scorching wind also began to burn. First, the hair and clothes, and then the skin and the fat under the skin were directly engulfed by the flames.

Those who died were lucky, because they could not die again. The people who were caught in the scorching wind could not even scream. The moment they opened their mouths subconsciously, the terrible high temperature had already burned their soft throats and vocal cords, and these poor people lost the ability to breathe. At the moment their skin began to burn, these people did not die immediately. In addition to the burning pain like falling into the flames of hell, they also had to endure the terrible pain of suffocation. This extreme pain ended only when they died.

The dead who died under such double pain all grasped their throats tightly with their own hands. When their charred bodies were found, the tragic scene looked as if they had strangled themselves to death with their own hands. The rescue workers who found them later were horrified. Compared with these tragic deaths caused by high temperature and suffocation, where some people even scratched their own throats before dying, a quick death is a very happy thing.

Even if you were extremely wealthy or had a high status during your lifetime, it was useless in the face of the disaster brought about by the Great Kanto Earthquake. If you were unlucky, no trace of your body would be left. Even if you were lucky enough not to die from the direct injuries caused by the earthquake, the burning fire disaster was also a test. Those who failed the test would become a corpse, or even be suffocated and killed by high temperature alive, suffering extreme pain and dying.

Of course, whether or not the bodies of the victims can be found also depends on luck. The whole of Tokyo has been engulfed by raging flames, and many people have been burned into unrecognizable charcoal. Those who have managed to survive soon find themselves having to face not only the earthquake and fire, but also the tsunami caused by the earthquake!

The epicenter of the Great Kanto Earthquake was off the coast of Tokyo. The earthquake not only caused huge losses on land, but the huge energy released by the earth's crust also caused a devastating tsunami. When those who managed to escape the earthquake and fire rushed to the beaches, docks, and ports of Tokyo, they saw with their own eyes that the sea water first receded at a terrifying speed, as if there was some huge monster in the sea that was frantically swallowing up the sea water, and then a silver line suddenly appeared at the edge of the sea and sky as far as the eye could see.

A moment later, the victims who took refuge in the port, dock and beach saw the silver line approaching the coast at an alarming speed. Soon, huge waves more than ten meters high came overwhelming. The waves that were more than ten meters high and had no end in sight seemed like a high blue wall with a silver edge on the top. Such a behemoth had never appeared even in the most terrifying nightmare.

The tsunami not only did not decrease with the distance it moved, but it became larger and larger as it got closer to the coast. People were stunned and did not even think of turning back to escape to the burning Tokyo.

In fact, those who tried to escape like ants in front of the huge waves actually had no way to escape. The huge waves rushed towards the coast at a speed of 750 kilometers per hour. At this time, except for artillery shells that could exceed the speed of the tsunami in a very short time, even the fastest airplanes could not fly so fast. Within the range of the tsunami, the crowd and everything on the seashore were instantly swallowed up by the waves more than ten meters high, or were swept into the deep sea and became a delicious meal for fish and shrimps, or were thrown into the air by the waves and died, and some were directly drowned by the sea water pouring into the buildings.

Compared with the victims who fled to the ports, docks and beaches, the shipyards, docks, warehouses and factories near the sea were equally devastated by the tsunami. The sturdy reinforced concrete buildings had already been severely damaged by the earthquake, and the huge waves of the tsunami smashed them into pieces. A large number of machine tools, machinery and materials were destroyed by the tsunami, or were directly dispersed by the tsunami, and directly became the numbers of losses.

In a blink of an eye, Tokyo and the surrounding industrial belts, which had accumulated more than two hundred years of wealth, gathered Japan's important industries, and gathered the largest number of ships in Japan, and were considered the brain and heart of Japan, almost disappeared in an instant. And not only Tokyo, but also Yokohama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Shizuoka, Yamanashi and other areas were destroyed by the earthquake. More than 100,000 people died and several times more were injured, and millions of people were left homeless.

If it were a normal historical line, Japan would have used many Koreans and overseas Chinese as scapegoats, and then quickly switched to a continental strategy. Later, it encountered the global economic crisis caused by the Great Depression in America, and thus launched the Far East Incident and gradually moved towards war.

But in the world of Demon Slayer, with the presence of the time traveler named Demon God Li Mo, he naturally has to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to achieve his goals!

Therefore, when the Great Kanto Earthquake broke out, the Japanese royal family and a large number of nobles from the nobility gathered in Tokyo. They were originally planning to hold a banquet to decide on future developments, but ended up becoming one of the deaths in the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Thanks to someone's calculation, the power of the Kanto Earthquake was so great that the residence of the Japanese royal family and the residential areas of those dignitaries happened to be on the edge of the area with the greatest earthquake power. Later, it was blown by the scorching wind and turned into purgatory, which directly led to the death of the Japanese royal family and a large number of dignitaries. Even if they had some gifted and powerful people as guards, they were completely useless in the face of natural disasters.

——Even the Demon Slayer Corps, a secret organization that has been hidden for thousands of years, has been able to accumulate several pillar-level strongmen as its pillars. The Japanese royal family and those powerful people are not fools. It is normal for them to win over those gifted strongmen as guards or retainers. However, the demon god Li Mo had already planted nails in it a long time ago, and even through the fusion of the [Core Guards] chess pieces, he directly used special means to get rid of these guys all, and by the way, he was able to attribute the cause of death to earthquakes and natural disasters.

As for whether someone will have doubts or something, there will definitely be people who will have doubts!

However, suspicion is one thing, and finding evidence and disclosing it is another. It is impossible to deny the existence of natural disasters such as the Great Kanto Earthquake. Even Japan would actively believe that it was the fault of the Japanese royal family.

Just like the ancient emperors of the Celestial Empire, whenever they encountered natural disasters or man-made disasters, they would be accused of having some kind of divine intervention and be issued an edict of repentance. The situation in Japan is similar. Even if the Qing Dynasty is overthrown successfully and the Japanese royal family takes power, Japan, with its many feudal remnants and superstition, still has its own national conditions.

The most obvious thing is that in the Japanese mythology, there is a legend that a giant catfish is hidden deep in the sea, and the catfish's turning over means the royal family is disqualified and causes an earthquake. Now that the Great Kanto Earthquake has broken out, all direct members of the Japanese royal family have died, and many Japanese dignitaries have also died in the natural disaster brought about by the Great Kanto Earthquake. This rumor has almost become a fact.

In the eyes of the Japanese, if the royal family had not been disqualified, the Great Kanto Earthquake would definitely not have occurred. Moreover, once it occurred, all the direct members of the royal family died. How could this not be a sin against God? It is hard to say what the situation would be if it were China, but in Japan, where feudal remnants are strong and shrines and Buddhist temples are everywhere, this absurd statement seems to be widely circulated, and the ghost Li Mo played a big role in it, causing all kinds of ridiculous rumors to fly all over the place.

Anyway, most Japanese people accepted this seemingly absurd explanation after the earthquake. Even if some people were unwilling to lose their power and tried to investigate, the ghost Li Mo would gladly send them off. And now, when the Great Kanto Earthquake just broke out and fires and tsunamis came together, no one in Tokyo and the surrounding disaster-stricken areas thought too much about it for the time being, and everyone was struggling hard to survive.

At this time, the backup plan arranged by the ghost god Li Mo had already been launched. The Neon army stationed in Tokyo and surrounding areas was quickly dispatched. These troops, which had been controlled by the ghost god Li Mo, quickly cleaned up and carried out rescue work in the disaster area.

At this time, the ghost Li Mo staged a scene of severe punishment in troubled times for the disaster area. Neon soldiers armed with light weapons and convoys loaded with supplies and tools entered the disaster area. When they found criminals such as robbery and theft, they would shoot them to death first, and then hang up a sign of their crime to warn others. When they encountered disaster victims, they would make evacuation arrangements, treat the wounded and try to save people from the ruins.

At the same time, all parts of Neon that had received the news of the Great Kanto Earthquake, the chess pieces that had been arranged by the ghost Li Mo earlier, began to move without hesitation, directly taking control of the actual control of various parts of Neon and the key troops.

Especially the Neon army. The ghost Li Mo arranged for those high-ranking military officers to either be sent to Tokyo to die or have been controlled and become his subordinates. Now he quickly took control of the key naval bases, and most of the army had been controlled earlier. Now he directly controls the remaining troops, and the core troops he arranged directly enter disaster areas such as Tokyo, carrying out disaster relief while completely controlling Tokyo.

To be honest, the ghost god Li Mo had previously withdrawn the forces and personnel under his control from Tokyo, causing those uncontrollable Japanese nobles and chaebols to suffer a heavy loss. However, the cleaned-up Tokyo is still very important. Even though the Japanese royal family and a large number of senior officials have already left, Tokyo is still the heartland of the entire Neon. Even under the triple destruction of earthquakes, fires and tsunamis, there are still millions of people here, including a large number of industrial population and high-end talents.

Regarding this aspect, the ghost Li Mo is very clear. Even if the forces he controls withdraw wealth and talents from the Tokyo area, a small half of the high-end talents, engineers and workers accumulated by Neon over decades of industrialization are still in the industrial area centered on Tokyo. Moreover, from the perspective of political status and actual conditions, controlling Tokyo is equivalent to having an orthodox status and can better integrate Neon.

When the army controlled by the ghost Li Mo entered Tokyo and other disaster-stricken areas and carried out rescue operations at the fastest speed, Tokyo, which had been cleared of those insects, did not resist at all. At the same time, other places in Neon cleared out those uncooperative troublemakers, and it was completely a one-man show under the ghost Li Mo.

At this point, Neon has completely fallen into the hands of the ghost god Li Mo. He quickly arranged the forces under his control to start follow-up disaster relief and recovery work in the disaster areas of the Great Kanto Earthquake in Neon, and began to restore Neon's severely damaged economy!

Chapter 45 Neon Future

"Pay attention to cleaning up this area of ​​​​ruins and see if there are any bodies that have not been found!"

"Anyone who steals and hides property or commits a crime will be severely punished. Serious offenders will be shot directly as a warning to others, and minor offenders will be sent to labor camps for severe punishment. I hope you will not do anything that makes us feel embarrassed."

"The first interim president is about to deliver his inaugural speech..."

Ten days after the Great Kanto Earthquake, Tokyo, which had become a ruin, began the process of reconstruction. A large number of Tokyo citizens were organized by the army and police to start clearing the rubble and corpses, and carried out various post-disaster reconstruction projects.

It should be said that the Japanese were very obedient. When the authorities made adjustments and arranged relief, except for a few wealthy people or official employees who made their own choices, the other affected citizens of Tokyo followed the official arrangements, cleaning up the ruins and confirming the identities of the victims while carrying out various reconstruction projects in Tokyo.

Even though the aftershocks of the Great Kanto Earthquake could still be felt occasionally, Japan had already operated a sufficiently efficient system to quickly provide relief to Tokyo and the surrounding disaster-stricken areas. Under the control of bayonet deterrence in one hand and material relief in the other, the emotions of the disaster-stricken victims were very stable. Moreover, the blame caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake was directly taken over by the Japanese royal family and a group of nobles who had already died.

After all, the dead cannot speak out to refute. With all the vested interests of Japan finished, ordinary people at the bottom were naturally guided by all kinds of gossip, such as the key news that the locust lineage was "punished by heaven" by natural disasters, which was mixed with all kinds of true and false news. In conjunction with Japan's temporary establishment of a republican system, the first temporary commander-in-chief conveyed the information of disaster relief and reconstruction, which made them quickly calm down their grievances and work hard on subsequent disaster relief work.

As for why Japan formed a provisional government and elected a provisional commander so quickly after the earthquake, and the army, chaebols and local forces had no objections, ordinary civilians don't have the time to care about so many things. They are not foreign decision makers or intelligence personnel. When there is relief and disaster relief work is being arranged, they naturally think about rebuilding their homes instead of worrying about so many problems.

However, there are smart people in Japan who have seen the problem, but seeing the problem and solving it are two different things. At least when the Japanese army, chaebols and local forces have reached a consensus, no fool will try to jump out and do something suicidal!

"Master, shall we just go back?"

Seeing that his lord came to the disaster-stricken area in Tokyo to observe the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas and learn about the information in the newspapers, the former [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro was a little puzzled. He looked at the bustling scene of home reconstruction around him, looked at his lord Ubuyashiki Yoya and asked in a low voice.

"Well, Kyojuro, just go home!"

Hearing the words of Rengoku Kyojuro who followed him, Ubuyashiki Yoya looked out from the window of the carriage, looking at the Tokyo city area where many ruins had been gathered and many temporary residences had been built, and the disaster victims who were busy rebuilding their homes. He sighed and whispered: "Now, Neon has a new ruler, and he is doing a good job. The disaster victims are full of hope to rebuild their homes, and they don't need our help at all..."

As the current head of the Ubuyashiki family, Ubuyashiki Yoya, who was not cursed to make up for his physical weakness, ran out to investigate the disaster area in Tokyo after the Great Kanto Earthquake. Naturally, he keenly felt that something was wrong, but he was not stupid enough to make a big fuss. After seeing the previous situation, he even went back very consciously.

Are you kidding?! Ubuyashiki Yoya is not some brainwashed cannon fodder. He naturally knows that the direct bloodline of the so-called Heavenly Locust was cut off by the "Heavenly Punishment", and a large number of Chinese have become historical terms. The temporary republican government and the first temporary commander-in-chief quickly established in Japan, the power behind them is definitely not something he can match. Moreover, he and the Ubuyashiki family do not have such a close relationship with the former dignitaries of Japan, so he would not consider the idea of ​​revenge at all.

In reality, Ubuyashiki Yoya even decided that if he found the situation unstable in Tokyo, he should provide supplies and connections to help Mr. Li Mo, who was obviously the mastermind. However, when he saw that the disaster relief scenes in Tokyo and other places were in good order and the overall operation of Neon was more stable and faster, he realized that he didn't need to do anything and it was best for him to go home and see his wife and children.

Many times, it is a good thing that you do nothing. Ubuyashiki Yoya is very clear about the peaceful life he and his family are living now. Someone must have spoken to Mr. Li Mo. If he just goes out to take a look or takes the initiative to support in times of difficulty, then there will be no problem. But if he does other actions, he will bring disaster to the family.

Now, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya and his group have left Tokyo. Some of the policemen who were maintaining order at the post-disaster reconstruction sites have left and reported the news by phone. However, no one tried to stop Ubuyashiki Yoshiya and his group, and just treated them as passers-by!

……

On the other side, located on the outskirts of Neon Tokyo, there is a manor that was not in the disaster-stricken area of ​​the Great Kanto Earthquake. Ghost Li Mo, Butterfly Kanae and a few others arrived here a few days ago and moved directly into this luxurious manor.

Although the Tokyo area of ​​Japan was severely affected by the disaster, the ghost Li Mo had no intention of spending the difficult time with the victims. Moreover, the customs in Japan were different from those in China. When a disaster occurred in China, they would at least pretend to be well behaved, but there was no need to go through so much trouble when a disaster occurred in Japan. During the shogunate and previous feudal eras, the samurai led the soldiers to suppress the victims and then consider how to deal with the disaster situation.

Even after the overthrow of the shogunate, Japan still did its utmost to squeeze the blood and sweat of its civilians. Even Ito Hirobumi hinted that he was worried that the heavy taxes would trigger a rebellion led by the gathering of civilians. However, the Japanese civilians actually endured it. It was not until the invasion of Goryeo and the Sino-Japanese War that the taxes levied by Japan were slightly reduced. The dividends from the First World War gave the Japanese civilians a little respite, and naturally they had no more ideas of resistance.

When the ghost god Li Mo secretly carried out his pre-made plan, he not only controlled Japan in his own hands, but the Japanese civilians had no idea that there was such a boss behind the scenes. Even though the Tianhuang lineage was directly cut off, many Chinese people became a thing of the past, and even a certain ghost-worshiping shrine was burned to ruins, those civilians still obeyed the orders and worked on disaster relief or living, and did not have the time to think about anything else.

Now, few people in Neon know that what truly determines the future direction of Neon is not the provisional republican government that is in the open, but the ghost Li Mo in this manor. He is the one who truly controls the future direction of Neon!

"Mo~!"

When the ghost Li Mo was sitting in a study, thinking about how to control the entire Neon and adjust the strategic direction of the country, the sweet voice of Butterfly Kanae came in, and then she walked into the study with a plate of fruit.

For Kanae Kocho, she can meet her lover at any time and they will only be separated when there is something. For example, now that she has wiped out the Demon King Muzan Kibutsu and many evil demons, and understood hatred together with the Demon Slayer Corps, she has completely displayed the image of the gentle and generous Yamato Nadeshiko. Her life essence has been elevated, and her appearance is particularly moving. Even the light purple kimono she is wearing now can't hide her beautiful figure with curves in all the right places.

It can be said that Butterfly Kanae is a gentle and obedient wife beside her man. She even thinks from time to time in her heart what to name the child if she and the ghost Li Mo have a child!

"Kanae, you're here~!"

Seeing the arrival of the beautiful Butterfly Kanae, the ghost god Li Mo put aside the questions he was thinking about, stretched out his hand and took the beauty into his arms, kissed her intimately, and let Butterfly Kanae sit in his arms, while asking his woman with some pampering: "Why didn't you have a good time in the surrounding mountains and forests with Xiaonin?"

Thanks to the impact of the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Tokyo area of ​​Japan's Honshu Island can be described as a mess. The big city of Tokyo has become a ruin, and the prosperity of the past has temporarily disappeared. There is naturally nothing fun in Tokyo under military control, and few people are in the mood to go to Tokyo for sightseeing and shopping.

No matter how heartless a person is, anyone who still has the mood to go sightseeing and shopping while looking at the ruined city and the corpses that are dug up from time to time is not an ordinary person. However, the ghost Li Mo did not go to the ruins of Tokyo to seek excitement. As for the mountains and Mount Fuji around Tokyo, the scenery is actually quite good and many manors have been preserved. Many rich people or tycoons live here temporarily and have no intention of returning to the already devastated Tokyo to suffer.

From a normal person's point of view, unless Tokyo's infrastructure is restored and people can start to live there, most people will not consider living in the ruins except for the disaster victims who really have nowhere else to go. You have to know that the disaster victims in Tokyo have to live in tents and temporary residences in the ruins unless they have no other choice. The objective conditions are actually not much better than being in prison, and their lives are extremely inconvenient.

However, the ghost Li Mo and his group naturally don't have to worry. This manor was almost completely unaffected by the earthquake disaster, and even the surrounding environment was not affected much. It can be said that going out for a picnic and hunting at the same time is definitely a very relaxing and comfortable thing.

"Shinobu and the others went hunting, and I thought you were too bored alone, so I came to check on you~!"

As if she felt a hint of burning fire in the eyes of the ghost god Li Mo, a touching blush appeared on the pretty face of Butterfly Kanae. She lowered her head and gently kissed her lover on the face. Her sweet breath made the ghost god Li Mo even more moved.

In a sense, the demon god Li Mo has changed the world of Demon Slayer enough, but the four beautiful girls around him have indeed changed the biggest. In the original anime of Demon Slayer, Kanae Chocho, who died in the battle with the second Upper Rank 2, Douma, is now the closest woman to him.

Even before, when an acquaintance of the Demon Slayer Corps met Kanae Kocho and the others by chance, Kanae Kocho begged her man to repay the favor of the Demon Slayer Corps and bring her sister Shinobu Kocho and her adopted sister Kanao Kurika to follow the Demon Slayer Corps to hunt down the remaining powerful evil spirits. In fact, she and her two sisters were still loyal to the demon god Li Mo, and they were just repaying the favor of the Demon Slayer Corps for saving their lives and training them.

Knowing what Kocho Kanae and the others were thinking, the demon god Li Mo acquiesced to their actions to help the Demon Slayer Corps. Even when the Ubuyashiki family, under the instructions of Ubuyashiki Yoya, sold many of their industries and assets at low prices, he had people take over and let the Ubuyashiki family go. It would be strange if he didn't save face for Kocho Kanae and the others, otherwise, including the Neon royal family and many noble families who had already died, those guys would have lost both money and their lives, and their power would have been completely swallowed up by the demon god Li Mo.

If he could be resurrected, those members of the Japanese nobility and the Japanese royal family would definitely accuse the ghost Li Mo of his actions, completely wiping out all the old Japanese forces. His brutal behavior was not only comparable to the red bear's treatment of the former Russian royal family and nobles, but the actual results of the cleanup were not inferior at all, and made outsiders feel as if it was a change of internal forces, unlike the red bear who was exposed and regarded as a scourge.

For the ghost god Li Mo, he doesn't care about those damned Neon dignitaries at all, and now he has to consider Neon's future strategic deployment plan. He would rather hug the beautiful girl and have a good time with her than consider showing mercy to those damn guys even for a second.

"Well, then I'll take a good look at your performance, Kanae~!"

Looking at the cute and lovely posture of Butterfly Kanae, the ghost Li Mo chuckled while kissing the beauty in his arms.

Soon, there were rustling sounds coming from the study, but these sounds were blocked by the door, and people outside could not hear them at all...

……

[The future of Japan? Tsk, that's a really interesting question. It's impossible for Japan to become strong on its own. America and the European and American countries may not just stand by and watch. In the future, Japan will have to join forces with China to take advantage of the good opportunity of World War II to liberate Southeast Asia and Indochina. By then, I don't know whether it will become the People's Revolutionary League or the East Asian Union...]

More than an hour later, the ghost Li Mo gently kissed and hugged the sleeping beauty in his arms, his hands still stayed inside the kimono and slowly explored her. However, he became more clear-headed after the joy, and continued to think about his previous strategic deployment for Japan, and considered in his heart what to do in the future.

Due to the threat of the river crab beast that could come at any time, the ghost god Li Mo naturally could not follow the old path of Neon before World War II. But when facing the great changes in the world caused by World War II, it is equally impossible to say that the ghost god Li Mo is not eager to try.

You say you are afraid of war?

Sorry, the ghost Li Mo doesn’t care much. Besides, even if Neon wants to live a stable and good life, it has to rely on imports for materials such as oil, rubber, steel, sugar, grain and cotton. Who knows, one day it might be choked by someone.

In this regard, Japan was completely at a disadvantage. Even if the Celestial Empire was strangled in terms of resources and technology, it still had a vast territory and a large population. It was not impossible for it to develop on its own, but it was not cost-effective from a conventional economic perspective. However, turning to a state of war was another matter. The domestic resource reserves were sufficient for Celestial Empire to use in wartime.

Neon is really not good enough. Even though it has entered a state of strict wartime rationing, it still cannot produce the resources it needs and must rely on the outside world to obtain all kinds of necessary resources. It cannot even be completely self-sufficient in food. For example, it cannot afford steel, oil, rubber and other necessary war materials. If it were not for the real world before the ghost Li Mo traveled through time, America would have made a fortune during World War II and sold all kinds of scrap steel, rubber and oil to Neon, earning precious metals such as gold that was stained with the blood of people from East Asian countries. Neon could not even rely on its own reserves and plundered materials to persist in a full-scale war for even more than a year.

Judging from this situation, it is very difficult for Japan to develop on its own. Moreover, when America was competing with France for South America, it directly sank its own warships and framed France to find an excuse for war. It can be predicted that Japan's idea of ​​developing itself without provoking America is purely self-righteous. America wants to become the world hegemon, so how can it watch new powers emerge and grow in East Asia and Europe?

Just looking at the fact that China wanted to develop itself in later generations, but was targeted by America in various ways, we can see that it is completely impossible for Japan to develop itself without being interfered with by the outside world.

For a moment, the ghost Li Mo fell into deep thought. He carefully considered the situation he had in Japan and found that there was no better way except to unite with the Celestial Empire and take advantage of the good opportunity of World War II to liberate Southeast Asia, Indochina and other regions and form their own power. He estimated that by then it would be the situation of the East Asian Union or even the People's Revolutionary League, which was not unacceptable.

When the ghost Li Mo hugged the butterfly Kanae and came to his bedroom in the manor to have a good rest, preparing to arrange chess pieces to investigate Nanyang and America later, his mind suddenly sank and he entered the [white fog space] which had been separated for a long time!

Chapter 46 Changes in the White Mist Space

"Huh? What's going on?"

When he felt the familiar situation, the ghost Li Mo knew that he had arrived at the [White Fog Space] again. However, what made him open his eyes wide and exclaim in surprise was that the [White Fog Space] before him had obviously changed a lot compared to his previous memory.

The previous [White Fog Space] was surrounded by a large area of ​​white fog and inside it was a separate space. The area of ​​the space was at most the size of a football field. It was okay for a dozen different Li Mo to stay in it. However, the current [White Fog Space] has not only expanded its area by more than ten times, but also has something like a huge display screen and sofa seats surrounding it.

At first glance, the changes in the White Mist Space were beyond the imagination of the ghost Li Mo. He remembered that he had been in the Demon Slayer world for no more than half a year. How could the White Mist Space change so much that he even wondered if he had traveled to another place?

Fortunately, the ghost god Li Mo was stunned for less than a second before he saw the familiar white mist around the [White Fog Space] and knew that he had indeed entered the [White Fog Space]. As for why the [White Fog Space] had undergone such a change, that was not something the ghost god Li Mo knew. Even other Li Mos were confused about the [White Fog Space]. At most, they could guess what the essence of the [White Fog Space] was. Every one of them had a wild imagination and made many guesses, but there was no way to actually determine the essence of the [White Fog Space].

Even Li Mo from the Different World Evaluation Guide tried to return to that seemingly erotic high magic world and asked the clone of the top female magician to help detect, but still did not get any results. It was as if he was just sleeping when he entered the [White Fog Space]. Moreover, all other attempts by Li Mo ended in failure. They had no way to deal with the [White Fog Space] at all.

However, the ghost Li Mo is now surprised to find that the [White Fog Space] has undergone new changes. What is going on?

This strange change naturally made Ghost God Li Mo curious. He and other Li Mo had tried it before, but it was difficult to affect the situation in the [White Fog Space]. They were not even sure what the [White Fog Space] was, and it was difficult to explain how they entered the [White Fog Space]. It was impossible to say that Ghost God Li Mo and other Li Mo had no ideas about this. It was nothing more than that they were unable to study the [White Fog Space].

Now, the abnormal situation that occurred in the [White Fog Space] immediately made the ghost Li Mo's heart rise. He didn't want any problems to occur in the [White Fog Space], because no one could predict the consequences of that.

“Eh? Are you Li Mo from the Demon Slayer world? Did you just come back here too?!”

At this time, the ghost Li Mo heard a familiar voice. He turned around and found that about ten meters away from him, Li Mo from the Black Lagoon World, wearing a black windbreaker, was waving at him while holding a cigarette.
