"Your Excellency the Governor! We are ready!"

Following the technician's words and a gesture, Tendo Kikunosuke, facing the camera and surrounding recorders, took a slow, deep breath.

At this time, Tendou Kikunosuke, who was already prepared and knew that he had no way out, slowly opened his mouth and spoke.

"Hello everyone from District 11, Brittany, I am the Governor of District 11, Tendo Kikunosuke."

At the same time, the people who stayed in various TV companies and radio companies in District 11 of Tendo Kikunosuke had already connected Tendo Kikunosuke's radio and TV signals.

All of a sudden, all television stations and almost all radio stations in District 11 began broadcasting Tendo Kikunosuke's speech.

——After all, District 11 is Tendo Kikunosuke's home turf, and he also carries the banner of independence and the Yamato nation, which is much more convenient than Marianna in many ways.

"This is?"

Looking at the white-bearded old man on TV, the people in District 11 who were watching TV looked at each other.

"Tendo Kikunosuke... is he finally and definitely biting back at his master?"

Li Xingke, who was also watching TV, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and smiled sarcastically.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and this day finally came!

"That guy... is the governor of District 11?"

Himeko Murata had just returned to Tokyo and was busy arranging the things for the kids from Jungaoka Academy. She finally found a chance to rest in a bar alone. She looked at the TV hanging in the bar with a look of astonishment, and subconsciously used more force with her high heels as she stepped on the drunkards.

——Crack!

"Ohhhhh!!!"

Amid the sounds of broken bones and the wailing of drunkards, Wuliangta Jizi had a bad feeling...it seemed that something bad was about to happen.

In addition to television, more people also heard Tendo Kikunosuke's voice through radio signals.

In Tokyo, a group of dead soldiers who had spread out had just been cleared out. Jotaro Kujo, who was sitting on a collapsed building listening to the radio to get information, couldn't help but look down at the radio.

"What's this?"

At the same time, Tendou Kikunosho also continued in a deep voice: "I know you must be wondering why I, the governor of District 11, am here."

"I'm sorry to bother you all, because I'm here just to announce something."

“For when, in the course of human affairs, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the bands of union which they have with another, and to rise among the nations of the earth in a separate and equal condition, in accordance with the laws of Nature and the will of God, a respect for the opinions of mankind requires that the causes which impel them to this separation should be declared.”

Upon hearing this, many people from District 11 who were originally looking at each other suddenly became noisy.

"Wait...what did Governor Tendo say!?"

"He just said independence, didn't he!?"

"This is how the same thing?"

Many of the imperial people who had been careless at first opened their eyes wide with expressions of disbelief.

"How dare he!?"

"Asshole! Is he crazy!?"

At this time, Marianna vi. Brittania had also rushed to the nearest TV. Looking at the boastful Tendo Kikunosuke on TV, she showed a cold expression that made people feel terrified and scared.

"Very good...Tendo Kikunosuke!"

"You're crazier than I thought!"

Marianna, who had never expected Tendo Kikunosuke to give such a public speech, was so angry that she started laughing.

"…Hahahaha! You really surprise me, Tendou Kikunosuke!"

Amid Marianna's laughter and the terrified expressions on the faces of the servants around her as they lowered their heads, the voice of Tendo Kikunosuke continued to ring out on the TV.

"...The history of the present Holy Britannian Empire is a history of repeated injuries and plundering of these colonies, with the direct goal of establishing a poisonous vegetable explosion over the states..."

"… solemnly declare that these united colonies are now, and by right ought to be, independent and free nations; that all our obligations to the crown of Brittany, and all our political ties with the Holy Britannian Empire, are severed…"

"…Therefore, I now declare that the Republic of Japan is officially established!"

Chapter 45: Wuliangta Jizi's Choice

Tendo Kikunosho's declaration was like throwing a huge stone into the calm water, directly triggering all the undercurrents surging below.

For a moment, all sectors of society were in shock.

After the shock comes the confusion.

Various thoughts surged, and different people made different choices at this time.

Needless to say, as for the people of the Empire, except for a small number of special individuals who remained silent, most of the people of the Empire condemned Tendo Kikunosuke, believing that Tendo Kikunosuke was an out-and-out terrorist.

But the situation in District 11 is a little different.

In response to Tendo Kikunosuke's independence speech, the people of District 11 responded in various ways according to their own interests.

There were big businessmen who had already taken root in the Holy Britannian Empire. When faced with Tendo Kikunosho's independence speech, they were first shocked and then panicked.

Finally, he publicly condemned Tendo Kikunosuke's behavior as rebellion that was dragging the entire District 11 into the abyss, and expressed his support for the Imperial Army's suppression of the rebellion.

Ordinary students and workers were usually oppressed by the imperial people from the system to the race, and most of the people who heard Tendo Kikunosho's independence speech in the city chose to stand on the side of Tendo Kikunosho. Even when the speech had just ended, some radical students began to organize marches, calling on all sectors of society to respond to independence.

However, most people, especially the senior officials in the government of District 11 and the congressmen and military brass who actually controlled the finances of District 11, chose to remain silent.

Unlike ordinary people, they knew better what a behemoth the Holy Britannian Empire was, and did not believe that Tendo Kikunosuke could defeat the Holy Britannian Empire and win independence.

But at the same time, they who are rooted in the local eleventh floor are unable to compete with Tendo Kikunosuke who is driving public opinion.

Because they knew very well that Tendo Kikunosuke might not be able to defeat the Holy Britannian Empire, but now that public opinion was swept up in his mind, it would definitely not be a problem for Tendo Kikunosuke to defeat several local high-ranking officials in District 11 and make them unable to recover.

Therefore, they remained silent at this time - at least before Tendou Kikunosho was completely liquidated, they would not act rashly and become tools for the empire to consume Tendou Kikunosho.

At this time, the entire District 11 was divided into three parts, just as Tendo Kikunosuke had expected.

The largest part of the lower-class people mostly chose to support Tendo Kikunosho's independence, and regarded him as a hero who endured hardships and humiliation.

The merchants and middle-level officials who enjoyed the welfare of the Holy Britannian Empire mostly supported the Holy Britannian Empire.

He believed that Tendo Kikunosho's rebellion was just a rebellion among the colonies and would soon be eliminated by the huge military force of the Holy Britannian Empire.

As for the top leaders, who had the smallest number but the most power, their attitude was ambiguous. They did not respond to Tendo Kikunosho's call, nor did they blame Tendo Kikunosho. They chose to remain silent.

Under the division of these three parts, the entire District 11 once again repeated the chaotic society when Xinming withdrew and the Empire entered.

"Long live the Republic of Japan!"

"Long live independence!"

On the streets, students in uniform shouted slogans and marched and demonstrated on the roads holding various makeshift flags and propaganda banners.

After all, students have the most free time among all sectors of society and are the group most easily driven by discourse.

Therefore, just as Tendo Kikunosuke's speech had just ended, many excited students had already begun organizing a march.

But when faced with these students, most adults just watched it all, few joined in, and no one tried to stop them.

Instead, some businessmen continued to put pressure on the police to protect their assets, and mid-level officials also continued to ask the front-line police officers to disperse the protesters...

However, the police officers who were responsible for maintaining law and order on the front line remained silent at this time.

After all, the empire only pays them so little a month, and their salaries are cut by the people above them. The money they receive is just enough to maintain their lives. If they were just catching some drunkards, perverts, etc. as usual, it would be fine, but now that the situation is unclear, they will not risk their lives.

Elite police officers who dare to fight and receive high salaries, such as Kogoro Mori, have long been transferred to protect high-level officials and imperial people.

At this time, there were only ordinary police officers on the front line facing the demonstrations.

When Tomie Kawakami was rioting, they were the ones who fled directly - now facing the marchers, they were also ready at any time to retreat immediately if a riot broke out.

Therefore, more and more students who were not dispersed gathered together, and more and more people mixed in. In the absence of command, the situation became more and more chaotic.

At this time, Wuliangta Jizi, who had already left the bar and was rushing back, saw this scene - looking at the chaotic crowd shouting various slogans, she couldn't help but sigh.

"…Alas, District 11."

"The situation in Tokyo was barely resolved a moment ago, how come it's getting chaotic again?"

After saying that, Wuliangta Jizi shook her head, bypassed the parade that was blocking the road ahead, and returned to the dormitory building arranged by Ningguang through a small path.

As soon as Wuliangta Jizi entered the gym on the second floor of the dormitory building, she heard quarrels coming from inside.

"Ha! Are you saying that we should be colonized by the Holy Britannian Empire?"

"I didn't mean it!"

"I just think that it is impossible for District 11 to defeat the Holy Britannia Empire right now. What we should do is not to resist, but to accumulate strength..."

"How long do we have to save up for this? If we continue like this, the next generation will only know about District 11 and not Japan!"

Wuliangta Jizi, who had just walked into the gate, heard the quarrel coming from inside and couldn't help but cover her forehead.

"Oh my God!"

"Why are they all quarreling?"

At this time, Wuliangta Jizi was not the only one living in the place where Wuliangta Jizi lived.

In order to train her team members and to help them develop a tacit understanding, Himeko Murorota also brought the selected Yomiuri Aiho, Tsunemori Akane and Kuribayashi Shino to the dormitory arranged by Ningguang.

After all, the dormitory arranged by Ningguang is located in a remote and quiet place. Only Wuliangta Jizi lives in the entire building. There are various training and fitness equipment, which is very suitable for training Wuliangta Jizi's own team members.

But it seems that living together has also produced some bad effects. For example, two members of Himeko Murata's team, Yomizumi Aiho and Kuribayashi Shino, have already started quarreling.

"What are you guys arguing about! Don't you know you're teammates?!"

Wuliangta Jizi couldn't help but scold.

When they heard the voice of Himeko Murata coming from the gate, the two people who were arguing inside immediately turned to look at Himeko Murata and said almost in unison: "Major Himeko, did you hear the speech of Governor Tendo before? "

"Ahh, I heard that."

Seeing the two of them, Wuliangta Jizi shook her head and closed the door of the gym: "But so what?"

"What do you think... Major Himeko, you are also from District 11, no, you are from Japan, what do you think of Governor Tendo's speech!?"

Kuribayashi Shino couldn't wait to say: "You also think that Governor Tendo is doing the right thing, right?"

Hearing this, Huang Quanchuan Aihui couldn't help but say: "How can it be correct!"

"To rashly launch independence without any preparation will only make the Empire's control and oppression of District 11 even stronger!"

"Ha!?" Kuribayashi Shino said unhappily, "How do you know that Governor Tendo is not prepared?"

"If Tendou Kikunosuke was prepared, why doesn't he have any army to cooperate with the uprising now!?"

"Then... maybe Governor Tendo is just waiting for the Imperials to reveal a flaw, and then attack!"

"Do you believe what you said?"

"why not……"

Listening to the endless quarrel between the two people opposite her, Wuliangta Jizi couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Kuribayashi Shino is a traditional District 11 person who was born before Japan became District 11. He is at an age when his blood is most easily boiled. He is also from the military of District 11, so it is natural for him to stand on the side of Tendo Kikunosuke.

Although Yomikawa Aiho is also a former police officer, she lost many friends and relatives after the Tokyo incident and no longer trusts the government of District 11. Therefore, she took a negative attitude towards Tendo Kikunosho's speech.

Wuliangta Jizi could understand the two people's choices.

Thinking of this, Wuliangta Himeko looked at Tsunemori Akane, who had remained silent and did not participate in the argument, but was silently training on the chest expander aside.

"Tsunemori Akane, what do you think?"

After hearing what Muromachi Himeko said, the two people who were arguing were stunned for a moment, then they remembered that Tsunemori Akane had not been involved. They turned their heads to look at Tsunemori Akane, who seemed to have lost his presence and was not dragged into the argument.

"Yes, Tsunemori Akane, what are you looking at?"

Hearing this, Tsunemori Akane slowly completed the last move before exhaling a breath of hot air. While wiping the sweat off the white skin on his chest, he whispered, "I wonder where Governor Tendo Kikunojo is now."

The two people who were arguing just now were stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other with confused expressions.

And Wuliangta Jizi said with interest: "Oh? Why do you care about this?"

Chang Shou Zhu said seriously: "First of all, the army of District 11 cannot fight against the entire army of the Holy Britannia Empire - no one should object to this, right? "

In response, Kuribayashi Shino, who came from the military, remained silent.

Because she came from the military, she knew best that what Tsunemori Akane said was indeed correct.

The colonial army was far from being comparable to the imperial army in terms of equipment, training, and numbers.
