Chapter 1107: The Mission is More Interesting Than Before!
Nuclear World.
The 'Ginza Incident' that occurred in Japan was unimaginably brutal.
Now, the entire three streets of Ginza, plus a main road running through the southeast, have been designated as a Military Zone by the Ground Self-Defense Force First Division, strictly prohibiting any unauthorized personnel from entering.
Everywhere were armored vehicles, tanks, soldiers armed with live ammunition, as well as shell craters, bomb craters, and dried black-red bloodstains.
At the same time.
Including Tokyo TV Station, all channels were broadcasting the news conference being held at the National Diet Building and the Press Club.
At this moment, whether at home or on the streets, nearly a hundred million Japanese citizens gathered in front of screens of all sizes, listening intently to Prime Minister Hojo Shigezane's speech with solemn expressions.
However, this Prime Minister's term was about to end soon.
Now everyone knew that the attack on Ginza was not by some terrorist, but by an army from an Otherworld. How could this not fill people with surprise?
Similarly, other nations also held great interest in this.
Therefore, this news conference could be said to have truly attracted the attention of the world.
"Although it is only natural, that land does not exist on our world map, and what exists on the other side of the Gate, what the situation truly is, everything is uncertain right now."
"We can only learn from the large number of captives captured during this incident that there is indeed land, ocean, and human civilization on the other side of the Gate."
"But they are now criminals who violate the Japanese Constitution, or rather, they are no different from terrorists."
"Even if the Gate is destroyed, the matter will not be resolved at all; it will only increase the sense of unease domestically about when and where the Gate will appear again."
"Since that is the case, it is better to treat the other side of the Gate as a Special Zone of Japan."
"Then, we judge that in order to understand the civilization on that side and conduct equal negotiations with the Imperial Force there, such as rescuing our citizens who were taken away when their forces were defeated, our side must take action immediately, even at the risk of danger."
"Our Japanese Government has decided to dispatch the Self-Defense Force to the other side of the Gate for in-depth investigation of the Special Zone, the arrest of the mastermind in the Ginza area, and the mandatory enforcement of negotiations between the two sides!"
The public statement made by Prime Minister Hojo Shigezane on behalf of Japan, as expected, once again caused discussion among nations worldwide.
However, there were many scoffing voices from the Lighthouse Country, Rakshasa Country, and Yuangu Country.
Treat the Otherworld as a Special Zone of Japan?
What a beautiful thought, your noses must be bubbling already?
Just because you say it's yours, it's yours?
As expected, President Darrell of the Lighthouse Country, separated by the Pacific Ocean, immediately had people notify major media outlets to hold a press conference.
"Firstly, the ownership of the Gate, as well as the ownership and negotiation rights of the area on the other side of the Gate, in the absence of any precedent or legal basis, it is difficult to determine that they belong to Japan."
"But according to the 'Japan-US Security Treaty', our country has inescapable responsibilities and obligations, whether for the safety of Japan or for the cooperative investigation of the area inside the Gate. Therefore, we have decided to provide the necessary talent and resources, as well as military aid!"
Immediately after, Yuangu Country, Rakshasa Country, and even France, UK, and Tianzhu Country, held press conferences in turn, expressing their respective stances and attitudes.
However, the meaning was similar: they did not recognize the so-called 'Japan Special Zone', and the ownership of the Gate still required discussion by the International Community.
At the same time, they also expressed willingness to provide professional research teams and necessary resources, and even proposed to dispatch troops to Ginza for joint guard of the Gate to prevent further invasion by Otherworld troops.
However, before Japan could say anything, President Darrell of the Lighthouse Country strongly declared to the outside world.
As the world's only superpower, the Lighthouse Country has the ability to protect Japan and also the ability to better help Japan explore the area on the other side.
In short, you don't need to interfere, just wait for our news!
The key was that President Darrell's words were not just talk.
On the same day, the Seventh Fleet stationed at major military bases in Japan, Cold Country, etc., as well as military ports like Yokosuka, Sasebo, and Guam, were all dispatched, coordinating with the Cold Country Navy and Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force, and began setting up layered defense in the surrounding waters.
This was a blatant warning.
Any army that wanted to step onto Japan had to first pass through their Seventh Fleet.
Although various nations were dissatisfied with this, given that the situation on the other side of the Gate was still unclear, they were unwilling to engage in overt conflict with the Lighthouse Country.
Furthermore, for some reason in the past few days, earthquakes have been occurring in various places in the world. Even places that have never experienced violent earthquakes have experienced three to four magnitude earthquakes.
This forced them to first deal with the domestic disaster situation.
As for Japan.
Parliament has already begun promoting the establishment of relevant bills.
At the same time, personnel were selected from the Ground, Sea, and Air Self-Defense Forces to form a Special Zone Advance Team.
The Lighthouse Country did not prevent this, nor did it propose a joint operation.
That President Darrell intended to let the Japan Self-Defense Force go in and explore first.
And during this time, they only needed to be responsible for ""protection"" of Japan and the Gate of Ginza.
Anyway, whatever Japan discovered or obtained was equivalent to them discovering and obtaining it.
As for whether doing so would cause disgust and opposition from nations worldwide...
To be honest, the Lighthouse Country truly didn't care.
Japan, seeing that the Lighthouse Country didn't care and even strongly supported its own action, naturally didn't care either.
Let them curse, who among you dares to make a move?
"Lord Sea Shadow's order has arrived. The Command Department requires us to dispatch a Ninja Squad to follow the Japan Advance Team into the Gate to investigate important intelligence about the force on the other side."
"As the captain on the Japan side now, I officially issue the order. Your Tekka Squad and Sudden Rain Squad will execute this reconnaissance mission. Other squads will take over your target surveillance at that time."
Inside a certain underground space in the Imperial Palace.
Tekka Uchiha, Pakura, Hyuga Gangliang, and Yamanaka Kōsuke listened intently to every word from the Den Den Mushi.
Because the other end of the Den Den Mushi was Yamanaka Inoichi.
After the four finished listening, they subconsciously exchanged glances.
They had only been in this Nuclear World for a few days, and unexpectedly, they were going to another Otherworld immediately.
However, as ninjas, they naturally wouldn't refuse a mission.
Moreover, their Ginza Incident this time had indeed disrupted their side's plan.
Yokosuka Port was basically empty after the Seventh Fleet set sail.
This forced the ninjas in the dark to infiltrate the ships and follow them out to sea.
The infiltration difficulty increased several times!
"You've all heard the mission content."
Tekka Uchiha put away the Den Den Mushi, which had closed its eyes, and said in a deep voice to his teammates beside him: ""Later, we will meet with the Sudden Rain Squad to discuss the subsequent preparation matters!""
"Yes! Captain!"
Pakura and the other two responded in unison. Then they heard Yamanaka Kōsuke tease: ""After joining the World Government, we really encounter new things every day. This mission is also much more interesting than before~""
"Indeed."
Pakura smiled slightly.
