Chapter 585: 582, Radical Revenge Faction Fujiwara Chika_1
After making the decision, Su Yu entered Lin Long City with Morning Star.
Once they managed to acquire legal identities within the city, they took a plane to Treyna City, ready to execute the final part of their plan.
During Su Yu’s advancent, two significant events happened on the Blue Star.
…
For the last four days, a sense of hopeless confusion filled both the real world and the internet on the Blue Star.
Four days ago, Emperor Manina XIII of the Raging Sun Empire announced Su Yu’s death, a news that quickly shocked the whole world!
For the first one or two days, most people were either in disbelief or too scared to accept that Su Yu was dead. They felt Su Yu must still be alive, maybe he faked his death to fool the Skuru aliens.
But as ti went by, they found that Su Yu was not online and there was no news from him.
Although the joint governnt’s statents emphasized that Su Yu’s death was “temporarily uncertain,” more and more people concluded that Su Yu had been sacrificed.
Because of Su Yu’s death, the entire world of Blue Star was engulfed in a mood of despair and confusion.
Su Yu was the backbone for the majority of people! He was the first person from Blue Star to ascend to the Sanctuary, the first to achieve legendary status… It would not be an exaggeration to declare him the pillar of mankind!
But now, this very “pillar” has… collapsed.
The widespread circulation of Su Yu’s death news broke many people on the Blue Star.
Can they really defeat the Skuru aliens?
Or is it possible for them to win at all? Is the probability of winning more than 1%?
Many people were deeply imrsed in confusion and despair, unable to pull themselves out.
…
In the midst of this mired despair and confusion, the atmosphere in one area stands in stark contrast to the overall environnt.
This area is not China, but the country next to China — Japan.
Although the people of Japan were also shocked by the “Su Yu’s death” incident, the impact they suffered was not as severe compared to other countries.
Because most Japanese people are more focused on the earlier “Gravity Funnel” incident.
According to statistics, the number of Japanese people who died directly in the “Gravity Funnel” incident was as high as 7.5 million, and the number of people who died indirectly in the subsequent week also exceeded 3.5 million!
One-tenth of the population lost in just one week, most of the Japanese had friends or family killed in the disaster, which dealt a heavy blow to the entire country.
The proportion of deaths among the upper classes in Japan were disproportionately higher than the lower classes.
During the “Gravity Funnel” incident, the upper classes fled to other countries on private planes at the first signs of monster appearances.
But the flying monsters focused on attacking private jets, and almost all of the upper classes who took the private flights were killed in the disaster.
Under these combined circumstances, the people of Japan quickly divided into three types.
The first type is about one-tenth of the populace, they beca surrenderists due to fear and adopted a laid-back surrenderism.
These people know that the Skuru aliens may not accept their surrender after occupying Blue Star, and they may be completely wiped out with a high probability.
But they were so scared by the power of the Skuru aliens that they lost the will to resist. Their current laid-back attitude was only to spend their last six months of life peacefully.
The second type, also accounting for about one-tenth, fervently blad others for their predicant.
They believed that their country suffered such a disaster entirely because of the joint governnt and Su Yu.
“If the joint governnt hadn’t resisted so aggressively, if Su Yu hadn’t insisted on assassinating their chairman, the Skuru aliens would not have executed such an extre ‘Gravity Funnel’ plan.”
They blad the disaster they suffered entirely on the joint governnt and Su Yu.
The third type, about three quarters of the populace, can be considered as the majority of Japanese people’s choice.
Under the influence of various social ideologies, they beca firm revengeists.
Revengeists advocate avenging the compatriots who died in the “Gravity Funnel” incident, even if it costs their own lives.
So extremists even brought up the ancient slogan of “One Hundred Million Jade Shattered” again, insisting on a fight to the death with the Skuru aliens.
Pri Minister Fujiwara Chika is a radical revengeist.
She narrowly escaped the disaster because she was visiting foreign countries on state affairs, but all her friends and family died in the disaster.
Now, she has completely turned to the dark side, swearing to let the nation fight the Skuru aliens to the end, until death do them part.
Because of this, the atmosphere of despair and confusion did not prevail in Japan due to “Su Yu’s death.” Instead, it stimulated their fighting spirit even more.
…
8 a.m. on November 10th.
Pri Minister Fujiwara Chika took the initiative to call Chairman Hu Jing of the joint governnt.
There was a brief exchange of protocol greetings on the phone before the conversation turned to pertinent matters.
During the phone call, Fujiwara Chika said, “Chairman Hu Jing, according to my Ministry of Defense’s data, the number of people voluntarily enlisting in the military in the last three days hit a record high of 300,000.”
“300,000 in three days?!” Chairman Hu Jing was taken aback.
“Yes,” Fujiwara Chika continued, “Because of these new soldiers, we will need the joint governnt to provide more weapons, equipnt, and food supplies.
In return, once these soldiers have manifested their strength, they will actively engage in the worldwide fight against the surrendering faction, as well as in the future wars against the Skuru aliens.”
Chairman Hu Jing steadied himself before replying, “Alright, got it. I will approve the resources you need as soon as possible.”
Ever since the news of “Su Yu’s death” spread, the tendency towards surrendering all over the world has started to rise again.
Now, the revengeists in Japan occupy the upper hand in public opinion, and they’re naturally opposed to the surrendering faction.
“Maybe we can use the Japanese revengeists to suppress the global trend towards surrender,” Hu Jing thought to himself.
Nevertheless, he stressed, “Pri Minister Fujiwara, I understand your urgent desire to take revenge on the Skuru aliens, but in all fairness, you should prioritize relief work. Only by doing a good job with the relief work can you completely eliminate the potential for internal unrest.”
“Understood.” Fujiwara Chika assured calmly, “We will certainly prioritize the relief work first, give one month. I will have the relief work handled properly, and then we can discuss cracking down on the surrendering faction.”
Having said that, Fujiwara Chika hung up the phone.
…
Hearing the line disconnect from the other side, Chairman Hu Jing let out a long sigh of relief.
Ever since taking up the position of chairman of the joint governnt, he had felt a trendous burden on his shoulders. He had to balance all the forces while putting all his focus on dealing with the Skuru aliens.
Of course, what brought him the most pressure was “Su Yu’s death.”
Even now, he still couldn’t believe that Su Yu was really dead. He kept lying to himself, telling himself that Su Yu wasn’t dead, only hiding in so remote place to heal his wounds.
But now, with the global trend towards surrendering rising once again, those who advocated surrender were spreading their beliefs all over the world, with a large number of people joining their ranks.
What should he do to boost mankind’s morale and return to the state of an aggressive preparation for war a month ago?
He really didn’t know.
