Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 392: Chapter 274: War Breaks Out (First Update)_2

“The day before yesterday, our Eight Nation Group made the latest decision to initiate a new round of military strikes against the Jieke Group. Our Japanese forces, together with the Chan Country Government, will attack and eliminate the Jieke Group, this cancerous tumor.”

Tsunoshima Shouichi’s voice was calm as he spoke about this conclusion that everyone had already guessed.

“Prime Minister, are we ready? The Jieke Group is not easy to deal with. If we suffer losses in Chan Country, the opposition voices within our own nation will be great.”

A parliamentarian stood up to raise the question.

“Prime Minister, we haven’t seen the benefits promised by the Beautiful Country yet. If we continue to intervene eagerly, I’m afraid it might not be very good.”

“The Chan Ancient Government Army is no match; we Japanese have merely twenty thousand soldiers, while it is said that the Jieke Group has expanded its troop numbers to several hundred thousand, and there are even Super Soldiers among them. The risks of this battle are enormous.”

The voices of opposition were many. Japan had been at peace for a long time and had not fought a war since World War II.

The last time they acted, they were taught a harsh lesson by the Jieke Group.

The several thousand soldiers dispatched were either killed or wounded, and those who returned to Japan often suffered from psychological trauma.

“The Beautiful Country has already confirmed the timing, and within three years, we will sign a historic agreement to conduct the largest ever upgrade and unbundling of the ‘Security Treaty’.

Once the Jieke Group is dealt with, our Self-defense Team will become the Self-defense Army, and at that time we will rebuild our national defense, opening a new chapter for Japan to become a normal nation.”

Upon hearing those words, the room fell silent for a moment before those who had previously opposed suddenly changed their tune, their eyes glowing with feverish excitement.

Japan has always strived to become a normal nation. As the world’s fourth-largest economy, they have long borne the shame of being branded a defeated nation with only a Self-defense Team. This is an enduring pain in the hearts of all Japanese people.

Now seeing hope, they were like dogs seeing a bone. Even if their leash was held by their master, they were still willing to lunge fiercely, eager to tackle problems for their master in order to receive the reward of a bone.

Especially since this bone was meaty, involving a share in the spoils after the downfall of the Jieke Group, it was even more tantalizing.

Tsunoshima Shouichi watched the scene unfold with satisfaction, aware of Japan’s interests. Standing with the Beautiful Country was to protect Japan’s own interests, and only in this way could they restore the mighty Japan and become a country that the world admires.

“Now, those in favor of dispatching troops, raise your hands.”

As Tsunoshima Shouichi’s words ended, arms were raised one after another.

“423 in favor, 12 against, I hereby declare that effective immediately, we will deploy troops to eradicate the dangerous radical organization, the Jieke Group.”

After the decision was announced, all the parliamentarians stood up and applauded fervently, the sound of clapping thunderous in the room.

….

January 27th.

When the time came to this day.

At the Xin’an Airport in Chan Country where the Japanese Aviation Mixed Group was stationed, thousands of group members faced loudspeakers that were hung all around, as a voice relayed over them.

It was the voice of the Emperor of Japan, broadcasting through the Jewel Voice Broadcast, his words traversing a thousand miles to reach the site.

On the airstrip, soldiers from the Aviation Mixed Group stood attentively, their expressions full of excitement as they listened to the Emperor’s voice through the broadcast.

Although the Emperor no longer held actual power and was more a figurehead, all significant decisions made by the Prime Minister.

Yet in the eyes of the Japanese people, as a symbol of spirit, the Emperor still garnered their love and respect.

“… Our Japan has a history of thousands of years of brilliance, possesses ancient and splendid culture, and virtues handed down from antiquity.

This war is under the watchful eye of Amaterasu. It is a righteous sword raised against evil, drawn to protect the weak, swung for the sake of countless oppressed people.

You have every reason to be proud, for you are upholding the beliefs of our Samurai Spirit, following benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and sincerity, bravely moving forward, forward, forward, to break the cruel exploitation of the Jieke Group.”

“Do not fear the enemy’s knives, guns, and bullets; even if your souls are embraced by Amaterasu, millions of people can pay tribute to you, the empire’s brave warriors, at Jing Country Shrine.”

After an impassioned speech, the Emperor finally proclaimed loudly:

“I declare that, effective immediately, a large-scale air raid operation code-named ‘Typhoon Plan’ is launched, with all necessary means to be used to destroy the rule of Jieke Group; may you all return in triumph.”

“Long live the Emperor.”

“Long live the Emperor.”

“Long live the Emperor.”

In the thunderous chants, pilots raced towards their fighter jets.

Not just at this airport, but across all major airports under the Chan Country Government’s rule, warplanes took off one after another to begin a large-scale air raid on Jieke Group’s ruled regions.

Meanwhile, at sea, several warships sent by Japan were launching sea-based cruise missiles, targeting and blasting vital facilities and bases with precision strikes.

In just half a month, Japan and the Chan Country Government had dispatched thousands of sorties, dropped thirty thousand tons of bombs, and, in conjunction with cruise missiles, caused devastating damage to a vast number of power stations, electronic communication facilities, rail bridges, military bases, and supply warehouses within Jieke Group’s territory.

At this point, East Qin State and Ji State under Jieke Group’s rule were like a small boat buffeted by wind and rain.

Many areas were bombed into ruins; the entire Jieke Group ruled region was practically engulfed in smoke and fire.

Through the real-time surveillance of multiple military satellites, one could see that there was no longer much gathering of large-scale soldiers in those military facilities and bases of Jieke Group.

Many supply warehouses were engulfed in flames that burned tirelessly through the night, seeming to have lost any resistance.

Faced with such a situation, Japan immediately stood out to announce this gratifying outcome.

In Yang City, the Chan Country Capital, Yoshimura Yuichi, the commander-in-chief of Japan, jubilantly told countless global media reporters:

“After a week of large-scale attacks, we have achieved a perfect start in our struggle against the extreme radical organization, Jieke Group. We have already destroyed most of their bases and eliminated a large number of the enemy’s living forces and strategic reserves.

We are confident that within the next week we will send ground forces through the Ruo Kai Mountains, stepping into Ji State and East Qin State, completely destroying Jieke Group’s rule in this region, and rescuing these states from the claws of Jieke Group.”

The reporters’ camera flashes blinked incessantly, and shutters were pressed frantically, many journalists finding it hard to believe the military progress of the Eight Nation Group could be so smooth.

“Is this information true?”

A reporter immediately raised a hand to inquire, seeking to uncover the truth.

In the last war, Jieke Group had emerged notably successful, swiftly destroying air superiority, subsequently annihilating tens of thousands of Chan Country’s troops and Japanese troops within Ji State.

Could it be that this time the tables have turned, with Jieke Group unable to sustain such losses from being struck by preemptive attacks?

“These are photographs taken by our satellites and high-altitude reconnaissance planes; each media will receive a copy later. Our success is undeniable.

Everyone has overestimated Jieke Group. Their strength today does not come from being highly formidable but from despicable surprise attacks.

In a real high-tech war, their fragility is immediately exposed, reduced to a laughable jumping clown.”

Yoshimura Yuichi spoke contemptuously, indicating Jieke Group could easily be struck down.

Reporters viewing the photographs presented by Yoshimura Yuichi, saw various destroyed military bases, and the large screen behind was projecting videos of the destruction, with even scenes of bodies flying chaotically, looking incredibly real.

Now the journalists truly believed what Yoshimura Yuichi had declared.

Finally, facing all the journalists, Yoshimura Yuichi held up three fingers, “I urge Jieke Group to lay down their weapons within three days; surrender now to obtain a dignified outcome, accepting the trial of the international court. Otherwise, after three days, when the Heavenly Soldiers of Japan arrive, what awaits Jieke Group will only be utter annihilation.”
