Chapter 317 A bolt from the blue
The next day, the entire city of Tokyo fell into panic. Mitsui Company was raided by mysterious armed forces in the early hours of the previous night.
When the Tokyo army quickly arrived at the factory area, the people who raided Mitsui Company had already disappeared.
It was as if they had never appeared. A comprehensive search was conducted at dawn but no trace of this team was found.
The team that attacked Mitsui Company was like a sudden drop from the sky to the earth, returning to report after completing their mission.
He comes and goes without a trace, mysterious and unpredictable.
The Mitsui factory has become a ruin, with no one left alive.
To date, the company's fire is still burning.
The company's production equipment and testing equipment were destroyed, and all the information in the office was burned.
This Mitsui factory specializes in producing engines for advanced Zero fighter planes.
Without this engine, Mitsui's aircraft manufacturing plants would have been unable to produce new Zero fighters.
At the current stage, if the air force cannot be replenished, the air battle with the United States will be a complete failure.
On the Chinese battlefield, the armies of the two Chinese parties have launched a counterattack against the areas occupied by the Imperial Army.
The weakening of the empire's air power will directly affect the entire war situation in China, which they cannot accept.
In other battlefields in Southeast Asia, the imperial army would be in a more passive position due to the lack of support from Zero fighters.
I can’t imagine what the outcome will be when the Imperial Army fights against other armies on future battlefields.
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
Shortly after dawn, a deafening explosion was heard south of Tokyo.
A few minutes later, the leaders at Tokyo Headquarters knew what had happened.
They could not accept that the Tokyo Daiichi Hydroelectric Power Station was actually blown up.
The dam collapsed and the flood rushed forward, causing incalculable damage and losses to the people downstream.
After receiving two pieces of bad news, none of the leaders in the headquarters conference room stood up to speak.
They knew very well that the imperial dream of ruling Southeast Asia could end early.
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Wakatake was looking through the reports submitted by the ministers below.
After seeing the two major cases that happened early this morning, he was stunned by the two reports.
Sitting at the desk, I didn't react for several minutes. This was the impact of the two pieces of news.
Emperor Wakatake stood up from his seat, immediately took out his samurai sword from his waist, and slashed at the table.
At this moment, his anger was difficult to control.
What he wanted to do most was to kill people, kill the head of the imperial intelligence, and kill those who were against him.
After venting his anger, Emperor Wakatake slowly calmed down. Reason told him that he must remain calm at this time.
Overnight, fatal mistakes occurred in two important places, and someone must be held accountable.
At this critical juncture, the sudden loss of the ability to manufacture Zero fighters left the Empire without air superiority.
The Imperial Army would then suffer the dire consequences of losing this advantage.
Emperor Wakatake knew very well that with the weakening of air support, the imperial army would have a hard time on the battlefield.
From now on, if you want to defeat the empire's enemies on the battlefield, you will probably have to sacrifice more imperial soldiers.
This is not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing is that if the US Air Force gets wind of this news, they will resort to a war of attrition.
In a few months, all of the Empire's fighter jets will be consumed by the United States' Air Force.
Without fighter jets in the air, the United States Air Force will directly bomb the Empire's aircraft carriers sailing at sea.
Emperor Wakatake knew very well what air supremacy meant to the current war.
Why did the Chinese repeatedly attack military airports built by the empire on the Chinese battlefield?
It is because they understand the suppression that the Imperial fighter jets bring to the armies of the two major political parties in China.
I can’t imagine how the armies of the two Chinese parties will target the Imperial Army without the suppression of air fighters.
This is a horrible way to cut off the source of the problem.
The bombing of the Tokyo Daiichi Hydroelectric Power Station would bring untold disaster to the area around Tokyo.
Tokyo will immediately fall into power shortage, as the entire city's industrial electricity basically depends on this power station.
Wars between countries ultimately rely most on a country's industrial base, and electricity is the foundation of industry.
The empire dared to attack China with a population of 400 million because it knew that China had no industrial base.
It is useless even if the land area is dozens of times larger than that of the Japanese Empire.
Now certain forces are deliberately destroying the empire's industrial base and hydropower stations, hoping to fundamentally dismember the Japanese Empire.
Who was the opponent who had pulled off such a brilliant move? He had to find out thoroughly, otherwise he would be unable to sleep or eat.
The flooding caused by the bombing of the Tokyo Daiichi Hydropower Station directly affected millions of people downstream.
More than six years have passed since the war against China was launched, and the original goals have not been achieved.
The people in the country have already been complaining about the government, and now this disaster has happened, which is really unimaginable.
When such a loophole occurs, someone must take responsibility. It is difficult to convince the public if the official position is too low.
The conference room at the Tokyo Special High Police Headquarters was packed.
Most of the participants lowered their heads, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room was extremely depressing.
Overnight, two major accidents occurred in Tokyo, the capital of the Empire, but the Special High Police didn't even get a hint of it.
They didn't notice even a single clue, which is a dereliction of duty for the entire Special High Section.
In other words, they never thought that such a thing would happen in the capital Tokyo.
In the past, it was their Special High Section that sent agents to other countries to infiltrate and cause sabotage.
They never dreamed that one day the boomerang would hit them.
This also fully demonstrates that without Kenji Doito, the Special High Police have long lost their former strength.
The Chinese still understood Kenji Doi's strength and asked a killer to kill him at all costs.
Tojo Kyushu, the highest commander of the Special High Police, raised his head, looked at the other people present, and said:
"What's the point of keeping our heads down? Let's think about where this armed force comes from.
Where are they hiding in Tokyo now? How many people are there?
If they are not found in time, they may continue to cause damage in Tokyo."
Everyone is asking themselves, who are these people? Are they American special forces? Or are they anti-war activists from their own country?
It seems neither.
Suddenly a short man stood up and said:
"This night raid is somewhat similar to the style of the mysterious Chinese team. Could it be..."
"The mysterious team from China."
This shocked the attendees, and everyone else agreed that this was impossible.
Their reason is simple. If so, how did this mysterious team set foot on Honshu Island?
How did the mysterious Chinese team arrive on Honshu Island? Are the Empire's Coast Guard vegetarians?
There is no way for unfamiliar ships to get close to the waters near Honshu Island because there are too many coast guard ships patrolling the nearby waters.
The four major secret agencies in the empire, namely Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, could not believe it when they learned that two important locations had been attacked.
This is Honshu Island, the capital of the empire, Tokyo, and they immediately thought it was fake.
How could such a thing happen on Honshu Island, which is the most important island in the empire?
If the soldiers fighting overseas knew what was happening in Tokyo, would they still be able to concentrate on expanding the empire's territory?
In the afternoon, the people of the four islands of the entire Japanese Empire knew about the two major events that occurred on Honshu Island.
They were shocked by the two pieces of news.
Newspapers and radio stations across the Japanese Empire are reporting on the two major events that occurred early this morning.
It was at the real estate agency that Ye Xiaoyang heard that Mitsui was the engine company that manufactured the Zero fighter.
He was very happy inside, but he didn't show it.
At this moment, he really wanted to know whether the Taoist brothers had taken away the aircraft engine drawings from Mitsui Company.
If the Taoist brothers take away the engine drawings of Mitsui's Zero fighter this time, it will be a good deed.
In the future, China can shorten the time it takes to develop its aviation industry by decades.
After spending more than two hours at the real estate agency, he ultimately failed to buy the house he wanted.
However, he didn't care at all.
Tokyo's largest real estate agency did not sell the small house immediately and process the paperwork immediately.
They suggested renting a house first and then reserving it for him when one became available that he wanted.
Ye Xiaoyang accepted the suggestion and only used it to store things temporarily. It was the same for renting. It was his own inconsiderateness.
After returning to Villa No. 66 in Springfield Community, Mina Nakamura immediately came over and told Ye Xiaoyang.
"Miyamoto-kun, last night the Tokyo Daiichi Hydroelectric Power Station and the Mitsui aircraft engine manufacturing plant were bombed.
From now on, try not to go out unless necessary."
"Thank you. Miyamoto heard people discussing these two major events on the street. It's incredible."
"Who says it's not? The Tokyo police will probably be mobilized in full force during this period, and they will probably arrest people indiscriminately."
"Is there such a thing in Tokyo, the capital of the Empire?"
"Of course not. We've arrested countless people who opposed the war, and after they were arrested..."
Ye Xiaoyang understood what Nakamura Mina meant. Either he was in prison or he was murdered. In any case, he had never seen anyone come out alive.
