Fight against the Lord God and spread the power of collapse from Tokyo

Knowing that what Megure Jusan said made sense, Maori Kogoro nodded helplessly: "...I understand."

Then, seeing that there were no passionate young people around who were planning to make a big news for the time being, Kogoro Mouri took out a cigarette and handed it to Megure Juzo.

"Inspector Megure, do you think that General Tendo... Will Tendo Kikunosuke really attack Yokohama?"

"It's strange that the army was suddenly moved into the city."

After taking the cigarette, Megure Jusan put it in his mouthpiece, waited until Maori Kogoro lit the cigarette for him, exhaled a puff of smoke comfortably, and then answered: "Who knows such a thing?"

“I don’t know who said it, but that’s what everyone is saying.”

"Anyway, I've already asked my family to seek refuge with distant relatives... It's better to be safe than sorry, what about you, Maori brother?"

千',,寻!"'小!''"说?.中?.转,!?!裙?2:,'5.:";5:!?5.;9'?,.5;;3!,!0.."0毛利十五郎缓缓的吐出了一大口香烟回答道：“我也一样，这种事情谁敢赌？”

"My wife happened to be pregnant, so I simply let her go to my hometown in the countryside to take care of the baby."

After saying that, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, war, and experimental monsters... well, that kind of thing, when will this world be able to calm down."

"To be honest, if Governor Ningguang hadn't signed my promotion order, I would have really wanted to be transferred to another place."

"For example, Fuji City at the foot of Mount Fuji is pretty good, with a beautiful environment and not too many troubles. I also heard that praying at the Narugami Taisha Shrine is particularly effective. I really want to go and take a look..."

Hearing this, and thinking of what he had just seen, Kogoro Maori showing mercy to the young man with the banner, Megure Jusan hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Brother Maori, if you want to not deal with the mess in Yokohama right now, it's not impossible..."

"Hmm?" Maori Kogoro was stunned, and quickly asked: "Inspector Megure, what do you mean?"

You know, after bringing the red-haired woman who looked like an alien to see Ningguang, I don't know whether it was for a reward or to shut up Mouri Kogoro, but in the end it was Ningguang who personally wrote a letter of recommendation to the Superintendent of Police, praising Mouri Kogoro and Megure Juzo.

As a result, in order to please Ningguang, Kogoro Maori directly jumped two levels and became a police inspector. Although Megure Juzo's rank of Superintendent could not be promoted for the time being, he was directly transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department of the Police Headquarters. It is said that he will be promoted if there is a vacancy in the future.

However, it is precisely because of this that Kogoro Mori and Jusan Megure were directly tied to Ningguang's faction.

This is a good thing for Megure Juzo, but not necessarily for Mori Kogoro.

Therefore, if Kogoro Mori took the initiative to apply for a transfer at this time, it would most likely be considered as a declaration of his separation from the Ningguang faction entrenched in Yokohama.

By then, even if Ningguang, as the governor, does not care about a small fry like him, there will be many people who will kill Maori Kogoro in order to please Ningguang.

Moreover, Maori Kogoro had a vague feeling that if he, who had been in contact with the red-haired woman, made any unusual moves, things would definitely get very bad...

That's why Kogoro Mori was in such a dilemma at this time, and acted so anxious after hearing Megure Jusan say that there was a way.

In response to Kogoro Mori's questioning, Megure Juzo looked around and saw that he and the police led by Mori were standing guard outside the alley to maintain order, then he moved closer and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Maori, you have heard about this before, right? Governor Ningguang recruited two female police officers and one female soldier to form a special force."

"It is said that the troop is well paid and directly reports to Governor Ningguang, so they don't have to deal with the mess in Yokohama at all."

Mouri Kogoro nodded.

He had indeed heard of this matter...but it was said that the personal bodyguard who protected Ningguang only wanted women?

Is it...

Maori Kogoro said: "Has that department also started to recruit men?"

"That's right." Megure Jusan nodded, put down the cigarette in his hand, and whispered: "The higher-ups are already screening for suitable candidates. It is said that they are not forming a guard, but a department called the Umbrella Biological Disaster Countermeasures Department."

"At that time, this department will be directly under the jurisdiction of a National Ecological Research Institute that I have never heard of. It will not need to be responsible to the police department. If it were you, you should be able to enter that department easily."

Hearing this, Kogoro Mori fell into deep thought.

The Umbrella Biological Disaster Countermeasures Department established by Ningguang?

...This is a good choice. It can not only avoid the retaliation caused by leaving Ningguang's faction, but also avoid the attack on these ordinary citizens. Maybe it can also avoid the war that may break out in Yokohama...

"But..." But at this moment, Megure Jusan spoke again, his voice was a little lower: "You also know that this kind of department is never an easy place to stay."

"If things go wrong, you'll end up dealing with the kind of thing you saw in Aoba District."

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's expression gradually became serious.

...Those monsters in the Aoba District.

Thinking of those moving corpses and monsters taller than the building, Kogoro Mouri took a deep puff of the cigarette into his lungs, and became a little dazed and hesitant.

Megure Jusan also shook his head and advised: "You have to think about it carefully, Maori brother, why not hold on for a few more days, and wait until the Tendo rebellion is over, there shouldn't be so many troubles."

If possible, Megure Jusan really didn't want his beloved brother Mori to go to such a dangerous department, but given the current situation, Megure Jusan was really afraid that Mori would get impulsive and join Tendo Kikunosuke's rebels.

In the eyes of Juzo Megure, who is older and has personally experienced the Empire's suppression of Japan and its transformation into District 11, joining the rebels and facing a behemoth like the Empire would mean certain death and would also drag down the family.

That's why Megure Juzo had to reveal this news to Mori Kogoro. Even if facing the experimental monster is a little more dangerous, it is better than facing the Empire's egg hitting a stone.

In response to Megure Jusan's persuasion, Maori Kogoro took a deep breath and said, "...I understand. I will consider it carefully, Inspector Megure."

Inspector Megure sighed and shook his head. Although that's what Kogoro Mori said, Megure Jusan could completely guess what Kogoro Mori would choose next.

Therefore, he could only pat Kogoro Mouri's shoulder silently, and walked outside towards the police team he led with a complicated expression.

...The military parade is still going on, so they have a lot to do today.

Kogoro Mouri, who was left alone in the shadow of the alley, lit another cigarette. In the only light in the shadow, his expression gradually became determined.

Maori Kogoro exhaled a puff of cigarette and whispered, "Sorry, Inspector Megure... I've had enough of this shit."

For Maori Kogoro, it is easier to face those experimental monsters than to oppress his compatriots...

Chapter 64: The Citizens Can Only Suffer

Standing on the platform built outside the fifth floor of the Yokohama Congress Center, Ning Guang, who was theoretically their top leader, looked at the military strategies one by one on the platform. However, he was unusually calm.

Even though Ningguang has become the governor of District 11 at this time, it seems that she has reached the end of her goal and is only one step away from achieving it.

Because Ningguang knew very well that she was only halfway to her ultimate goal of returning District 11 to Xinming and becoming the Province of Dongying again. The end was much farther away than it seemed.

Moreover, at this time, Marianna vi. Brittany, the princess of the empire, and Li Xingke, who was invited as a guest, were looking at Ningguang from behind. Their gazes were enough to calm Ningguang down.

Therefore, Ningguang maintained a calm mind at this time, ignored the gazes of the people around him, and as the governor, carefully read the army passing by below.

——These troops are from the Saitama military base near Yokohama.

The reason why Ningguang did not mobilize the soldiers stationed in Tokyo, which was closer, but instead mobilized the army far away in Saitama was very simple.

The Tokyo army was controlled by the Uchiha generals sent by Ningguang during the Tokyo incident and belonged to Ningguang's power. However, these troops of Saitama did not belong to the army controlled by Ningguang, but were the power of the Empire provided by Marianna.

For Ningguang, after she became the governor and had the support of Marianna, it was easier to mobilize the Imperial army. Moreover, mobilizing the Imperial army would also allow Ningguang to preserve her own strength and weaken the power of the Imperial and Independent factions.

Therefore, Ningguang ignored the Tokyo army that was closer but under her control, and instead dispatched the Imperial army that was farther away.

After all, from Ningguang's point of view, it doesn't matter how many casualties these imperial troops and the independent troops controlled by Tendou Kikunosuke suffer...it would be best if they could die together.

But what made Ningguang regretful was that perhaps because of what Marianna promised when she contacted the army, the morale of this army sent by the Empire was unexpectedly good, and they also received some weapons and equipment supported by the Empire... At this time, they seemed unexpectedly elite, far exceeding the level of the general army of District 11.

"...In order to avoid being drawn into a total war with the Empire, even in this situation, Tendou Kikunosuke should not mobilize the independence army to rebel, right?"

Thinking of the intelligence she had read before the meeting, which recorded that there was no unusual movement in the independent faction troops, Ningguang reviewed the troops seriously on the surface, but in fact she had already started thinking about the current situation.

"But if we only rely on the military forces of the military bases in the mountains west of Yokohama, we will not be able to defeat these imperial forces that have been rearmed by the empire. It seems unlikely that we can expect Tendo Kikunosuke to inflict heavy damage on the imperial forces..."

"Well, that's not necessarily the case. Tendou Kikunojo also has that mecha that the Empire calls a rogue warrior."

Ningguang narrowed her eyes slightly when she thought of the information the Imperials had shared with her.

Maybe, Tendou Kikunosho can give himself a surprise?

Thinking of this, Ningguang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and showed an elegant smile to Marianna and Li Xingke beside her.

At this time, Marianna and Li Xingke, who were also watching the army below next to Ningguang, also returned a smile to Ningguang with a different meaning.

Li Xingke's smile was a mockery of the fact that the spy Ningguang became the governor of District 11 while the empire was unaware of it.

Mariana's smile showed her appreciation for the smooth progress of the plan with Ningguang's cooperation and the impending opportunity to eliminate Tendou Kikunosho.

...And just like that, with everyone having their own suspicions, the military parade in Yokohama ended.

Afterwards, photos and videos of the new Governor-General Ningguang, Imperial Princess Marianna VI. Brittany, and the new Ming general Li Xingke getting along harmoniously quickly appeared in various newspapers and TV channels, soothing and easing the already very sensitive and tense atmosphere in District 11.

——Crack!

A newspaper with a photo of three people looking at each other and smiling was thrown on the table. Hearing the sound of the newspaper hitting the table, the officers sitting around the conference table looked at each other in speechlessness.

At this time, Tendo Kikunosuke, who had thrown the newspaper on the table, had a tense and grim expression as he fell into deep thought.

He miscalculated.

The Empire's influence in District 11 was even stronger than he had previously investigated.

He originally thought that after he raised the banner of independence, the army in District 11 would be overwhelmed by public opinion and out of control. However, he did not expect that although most of the army fell into silence as he expected,

However, under the pressure of the national independence wave and the trend of Japanese independence, the imperial faction was able to mobilize an elite army of more than 10,000 people so quickly, which was really beyond Tendo Kikunosho's calculations.

And what's worse is that up to now, Otto, who promised to help him, has not contacted him again, and Xinming's Li Xingke has openly stood on the side of the empire... Things are already so bad that Tendo Kikunosuke can't imagine how much worse they can get.

After thinking about the current situation clearly, even Tendou Kikunosuke couldn't help but fall silent.

At this moment, in the silence of Tendo Kikunosho, one of the officers beside him finally couldn't help but speak up: "Your Excellency the Governor, the imperial lackeys have entered Yokohama and have begun to deploy defenses in Yokohama. Do we really want to continue watching!?"

After someone spoke up to break the silence, the surrounding officers also spoke up to echo.

"That's right! That's right! We can't just keep watching like this!"

"In my opinion, we should have gone around to the north and defeated the army before it reached Yokohama!"

"What's the point of saying this now? We should think about what to do now!"

"What should we do? We can only attack!"

"But given the number of our troops, if we don't mobilize troops from further afield..."

"Then use Titans. We must fight back no matter what!"

Listening to the chaotic discussions around him, Tendo Kikunosuke slammed the table.

--boom!

With the dull sound of palms hitting the table, the surrounding discussions and noise suddenly stopped.

Seeing the officers around him calm down and look at him, Tendo Kikunosuke said in a deep voice: "...We can't force the Empire. Otherwise, once the Empire is determined to pay the price, even if we mobilize all 11 districts... no, all of Japan, we will not be able to defeat one-third of the world."

Hearing such pessimistic words from Tendo Kikunosho, the young officers around him could not accept it at once. They joined Tendo Kikunosho in order to resist the empire and to make Japan independent, not to compromise step by step!

Therefore, someone immediately shouted anxiously: "But now it's not us who are forcing the empire into a corner, it's the empire that's forcing us into a corner!"

"That's right! The army is now preparing to set up defenses in Yokohama. When they are ready, they will attack us!"

"Are we just going to watch the enemy prepare to attack us?!"

"Japan is so small, where can we retreat to!?"

"——Your Excellency the Governor!"

Hearing the anxious shouts around him and looking at those anxious faces, Tendo Kikunosuke just kept silent and looked down at the picture in the newspaper that showed Ningguang, Marianna and Li Xingke smiling at each other.

How ironic! One of his subordinates, one of his superiors, and one of the people who once won him over... now all three of them are standing against Tendou Kikunosuke.

Thinking of this, Tendo Kikunosuke clenched his teeth.

Seeing Tendo Kikunosho's silence, an officer shouted angrily: "Governor, didn't our insider say that the troops from District 10 were already on their way? If we keep waiting like this, we will have to face the troops from District 10 plus these lackeys, and the situation will only become more difficult!"

"War with the Empire is now inevitable! We must strike first!"

"As long as we use Yokohama to drag the enemy into street fighting and limit the Empire's firepower advantage, we may have a chance of winning with the Titans!"

"——Sir, it's time to gamble on the fate of the country!"

Hearing this, whether it was because of the increasingly radical tone of the officers around him, or out of hatred for the empire, or because of what the officers said, Tendou Kikunosuke finally saw a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Tendo Kikunosuke gradually raised his head, and a hint of determination and ruthlessness appeared on his face.

Anyway, he is no longer the governor of Area 11. Anyway, all he has now are Titans and the army... In this case, he might as well give it his all!

If he wins the bet, he will be the founding father of the Republic of Japan - if he fails, he has nothing to lose!

Therefore, Tendo Kikunosho said sternly: "Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, let the troops under our control gather towards Yokohama, and the troops in Yokohama now should immediately cooperate with Titan to attack Yokohama!"

"We must capture Yokohama, capture Marianna VI. Brittany alive, and repel the army of District 10!"

"Only in this way can we force the empire to retreat and embrace our future!"

Hearing this, the young officers around were overjoyed. They stood up one after another, put their hands on their sides, and quickly bent down towards Tendo Kikunosho.

"Yes!"

"For the Governor-General, we will definitely take Yokohama!"
