Chapter 307 77: Agreed
“Director. The rough death toll is out.”
At the temporary residence of the Special Affairs Bureau, the weather has turned cooler. It can be said to be a bit cold, but it is also It would not make the hand of Hirata Remi, the deputy director of the Intelligence Section, tremble while holding the report.
Obviously, what made her unable to control her fingers was the number of deaths that had just been calculated that made her heart tremble.
On the messy desktop, Kuroki Shinsen did not answer immediately. She had just finished reading the proposal that Noguchi Yushi had compiled overnight. Her temples ached suddenly. She picked up the still hot espresso next to her and took a sip. After drinking it, let the bitterness extinguish the sleepiness and the caffeine suppress the pain.
She hadn't slept for two days, but that didn't matter. When she was craziest, she only slept less than twelve hours a week.
But the pressure on her shoulders at that time was different from what it is now.
What she wanted to solve at that time was a terrorist activity. With her super assault style of handling the case, she successfully eliminated the terrorist organization before it started to act. This is where her title of Iron Lady came from. .
Any incident she is facing now is more involved and more serious than the original one. They are all extremely important matters. They can even be said to determine the future direction of Japan. They cannot be tolerated. She closed her eyes.
After all, she is one of the few candidates who can make both the traditionalists and the extraordinary factions hostile, and she is also an important bridge between the two.
When she was asleep, if there was any misunderstanding in the communication between the two groups, they would probably start fighting when she woke up.
She could imagine that the Extraordinary Sect would one day be unable to tolerate the Traditional Sect, but when that day came, she still felt deeply powerless.
Only by integrating the power of all Japan can we survive in the extraordinary and troubled times. This does not tolerate the interference of the die-hard traditionalists. The future of Japan can only be decided by the extraordinary faction and take the lead in establishing a human extraordinary+ political system. existence.
This was Noguchi Yushi’s first sentence after seeing her yesterday.
After experiencing this demonic chaos, she did not think that Noguchi was an alarmist. When the first extraordinary disaster occurred, who would have thought that half of Tokyo would be destroyed today?
But who would be willing to hand over their power? The interests they represent will not allow surrender without a fight.
So a bloody storm like a great purge is inevitable.
But this will only bring Japan, which is already in chaos, into near paralysis.
But Noguchi said that this is the best time, precisely because it is already in chaos, and it cannot be established until the traditionalists calm down. There will inevitably be more.
Kuroki Shinzumi had to admit that what Noguchi said made sense, and was even the answer that she had always dared to think but dared not say in her deepest heart.
But she also has a family.
On one side is the family and on the other is the country. Can the two really only be in opposition?
When I thought of this, my headache just subsided a little and came back again.
"This is not the direction of our supervisor. Please tell me the general content of the report. I am mentally prepared." Kuroki did not pick up the report in Hirata's hand, but sighed, Let Hirata tell her.
These data are indeed not something she should consider. However, the Special Affairs Bureau is still in the state of special affairs and has relatively great power. Some department reports need to be copied to the Special Affairs Bureau.
Hirata took a deep breath and opened the report. Even though she had carefully read the data inside it several times to make sure she had read it correctly, and even memorized it, she was really scared when she didn't talk about the casualties without looking at them.
"The death toll is at least 300,000, and the injured are over a million. This is the data we can currently count, because many of the dead after being assimilated by the ghost soldiers can't even keep their bodies, which makes statistical work difficult. It's causing a lot of trouble."
Hiraita swallowed, looked carefully at Kuroki who was pressing his temples with no expression, and continued speaking tremblingly.
“According to their statement, it is even possible that more than half a million soldiers and civilians died in the wave of ghost troops after naval battles and air raids.”
“This still does not include those who stubbornly hid in People in the urban areas refused to cooperate with the relocation. During the battle yesterday, five to six thousand people appeared from between the second and third lines of defense to seek help.”
"At least there is a chance for help in their place, and the people left in the core area"
"Relief supplies from all over the country will arrive soon. The radiation pollution assessment team conducted calculations overnight. It is recommended to carry out recovery operations within the third line of defense."
After Hirata finished speaking, he seemed to be out of breath.
No matter how many times you see this number of casualties, you will always find it shocking. This is no less than the casualties in a country-breaking battle.
But as far as the process is concerned, they have indeed tried their best. Regardless of the efficiency of the evacuation or the construction of fortifications, she could not have imagined that it could be completed in such a short time a month ago. .
She has a deep understanding of official administrative efficiency.
Now I am afraid that the attitude of holding it up will be released, and the treatment of disaster victims will become the same "official efficiency" that allowed people to live in tents for half a year.
Kuromu put down his hand and stared at the wall in front of him with a slightly dull look.
"Three hundred thousand." She repeated the number silently, over and over again.
What a retributive number.
Not only this number, but also the Spiritualist Club, everything is just asking for trouble, and the person most responsible for all this is naturally...
Kuroki Shinizumi's eyes gradually became firmer.
"I understand, you go down first and have a good rest. Maybe later, I need you to take over my job." Kuroki Shinquan ordered.
“Yes!”
Hirata Reimei didn’t ask any more questions, she agreed and then withdrew.
Kuroki Shinizumi took out the satellite phone and dialed Abe Koichi's number.
"Prime Minister, we have no choice."
Yokosuka Base.
"Okay, I will do it. I should know a little better than you in this regard."
Abe put down the phone, breathed out, and reported respectfully to the man in front of him: "Your Excellency, your guess is correct. Kuroki has turned to the Extraordinary Sect. I also promised to cooperate with the Special Affairs Bureau to launch a liquidation against the Traditional Sect. That's all."
Ricky, who was sitting across from him, was sitting at the center of the tea table, sipping tea slowly.
"What are you worried about?"
It was just a simple question, but Abe seemed to be under all kinds of pressure and forced a smile: "I am definitely not worried when adults are here. Besides, traditional Those guys who sent me have stopped contacting me for anything since I rejected them several times. I'm afraid they already have resentments in their hearts." "If we can take the opportunity to eradicate them all, it will be much easier in the future. In this way, the Special Affairs Bureau will have no constraints and become a giant. "
For Abe's position, he is more concerned about balance, and he is not a complete transcendent. , nor will it be a traditionalist. What he needs is to use the relationship between the two factions to gain the right to speak for himself.
Although they have the support of new Ami like Ricky and Walton on the surface, and the masked man (who is actually Ricky but Abe is unaware of it) is secretly assisting them, after all, these are foreigners, and frequent use will only offend people and add to the confusion. resist.
He can think that once he steps down and has no use value, not to mention whether Ricky and the others will protect him, and whether the Special Affairs Bureau will burn bridges. As long as the traditionalists are not dead, they will definitely come after him. Trying to settle accounts.
There is no profit from doing it. At most, the Special Affairs Bureau will be obedient in name for a while, but the subordinates may become disloyal and completely become a puppet.
“You have no reason not to understand something as simple as pulling one faction to fight another. Isn’t the reason why traditionalists are traditional also for profit? As long as you can become the new leader, change your name, and bring those people together As long as the legacy left behind is absorbed, and with our help, if the Special Affairs Bureau wants to touch you in the future, it won’t be worth the loss, right?”
Richie likes Abe’s cautious attitude.
Be obedient and don't drift.
Even if it has no use value in the future, he doesn't mind keeping it.
In fact, Abe naturally has such thoughts, but it is not appropriate to say it from his mouth. What does a self-contained group want to do? Do you want to get rid of control or do you want to include Ricky in it?
So he didn’t dare to bring it up. Ricky could only say it was okay.
“With the background of most people in the Special Affairs Bureau, they cannot swallow up or take care of the industry left by the traditionalists, so this is also a benefit they intend to give you.”
"The Kuroki family must be brought on board, and the deeper the relationship with the right-wing others, the more they need to be completely strangled."
"In the future, the real decision-maker in the Special Affairs Bureau will only be Yushi Noguchi, and only he will With such contempt for these interests, he probably thinks that without extraordinary power, the country may not be able to save it, let alone the so-called profit money. As long as it is enough, he believes that you will not waste the funds of the Special Affairs Bureau. "
< br>"Speaking of which, Noguchi and I may be the same type of people. We are both people who are willing to do whatever it takes to keep our country civilized."
At this point, Ricky's words are somewhat sincere.
Although, in fact, they are not the same kind of people at all.
"Okay, you disappeared for a long time, it's time to reappear, Jayden."
Outside the door, the muscular man Jayden walked in. Under his height of more than two meters and his strong body, the room It suddenly seemed a lot narrower.
“Escort the Prime Minister to Kyoto to meet with His Majesty the Emperor, so as not to worry others.”
“Oh, Prime Minister, please, with your blessing, it seems that I can see the Emperor. There are so many eyes and mouths." Jayden's bright smile looked too ferocious.
"In the deal with the Special Affairs Bureau, we can strive for more information exchange, including the actions of the Soul Gathering." Ricky suddenly mentioned.
"Understood!"
Abe withdrew respectfully.
Richie turned the teacup, quietly thinking about something.
The temporary residence of the Special Affairs Bureau.
Kuroki and Noguchi, who were jokingly known as the female protagonist and the male protagonist, finally met again.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to the affairs on my side. Everything has been arranged. The most important task next is to appease the foreign extraordinary and use the opportunity to liquidate the right-wing family. What do Abe say, are you willing to cooperate? I think he is the most important We will not reveal the content of our exchanges to those traditionalists."
Noguchi Yushi is extraordinary, even if he consumes a lot of energy during the battle, as long as he calms down, even if he doesn't sleep, he will be in a better state than Kuroki. Much better.
"He agreed, very simply, but there are still some general requirements. I haven't gone into details yet. I plan to leave it to you to talk to him. I." Kuroki smiled bitterly, "It's better to avoid suspicion."< br>
Noguchi was silent for a few seconds, looked into Kuroki's eyes, and said seriously: "I know that the Kuroki family has always stood on the traditional side, but it's not that we can't win over it and it's inconvenient for us to come forward, so let Abe win over him. , He agreed so quickly, it must have something to do with Ricky.”
“William said that Ricky is not a simple person. Of course, this is nonsense, but it is worth reminding him, which shows that Ricky wants to do it. It is more critical than we think. Now the mainstream view will regard the actual leaders of the new United States as the Walton family. Now it seems that it is worth considering. ”
"So it has always been said that Abe is completely leaning towards Shin Ami. I'm afraid to be precise, he is completely leaning towards Ricky."
Kuroki's mind was a little confused. Hearing Noguchi's analysis, he was noncommittal: "From our perspective According to the analysis, he should be more likely to be at the right time. It cannot be said that the main reason for the split of Ami is because of him. To get to this point is to become the leader of the new Ami at the critical moment, right? "
< br>Noguchi pondered, thought about it seriously, and still felt that the possibility of this was too small.
There are many factors that brought Ami to the current confrontation. The first factor should be included in the second elixir granting ceremony of the Holy Infant Club, and then the masked man appeared and intercepted and killed most of the people who had received the elixir quota. This resulted in Ricky having the power to temporarily decide the main candidates for the roster.
There has been speculation that the masked man is Ricky, but it is not mainstream. The main reason is that if this line of speculation is followed, there is a high possibility that the Holy Infant Club will cooperate with the masked man to provide convenience. They do not dare to make such an association. .
That's the Holy Infant Club!
How could their special situation use a pill-giving ceremony to coordinate the actions of the masked man when they faced a being who was nine points shorter than him?
It makes no sense, is not scientific, and is not extraordinary.
Although, this is indeed a small experiment that Shiraishi Hang once did.
"As for my family's affairs, I will tell them. There is no need to make concessions." Kuroki's eyes dimmed, but his tone was still firm.
Noguchi didn't say anything. He didn't think this matter required any concession to Abe.
"When will we act?"
"The sooner the better, of course. Inagaki Miki and Paradise Node are willing to provide certain assistance, and other Chaofan also agreed to stay in Tokyo for a few days." Noguchi sighed. He said, "Just like this, the favor we owe is huge. Whatever happens in the future, we can't refuse it, otherwise we will be hostile to the mainstream extraordinary."
Although based on the agreement of the anti-demon alliance, they have obligations Help the Special Affairs Bureau deal with the Tojo Demon, but this demon was detonated by them out of desperation, and it is different from those that appeared on their own. In short, favors must be owed, and friendly relations must be maintained in the future.
"Okay, let me know when you make a move. I'll take a nap and hope that when I wake up, I can see a new future."
Kuroki's eyes were somewhat filled with resentment.
Even if it was a decision she made willingly.
