Chapter 293 Tokyo Riots (Part 3)
Originally, Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira had been overwhelmed by the Soviet occupation of Hokkaido, and was trying his best to dispatch the Self-Defense Forces to the north to prevent the Soviets from landing across the sea. The most powerful troops in the entire Self-Defense Force were transferred to Hokkaido, but they ended up losing everything. Those new tanks, including the M1 tanks purchased at a high price from the United States, were lost to the Soviets. The main force on Honshu Island was still almost entirely Type 64 tanks, which made them very worried. Once the Soviets landed, they would definitely not be able to resist!
These things are enough to worry them, and these untouchables are still making trouble! So many people! Ohira Masayoshi remembered that his last term was due to the people's protests. The government can no longer compromise. Now is a war period, so we must use war as a means!
Since the police are unable to disperse the crowd, they can only use the Self-Defense Forces.
"Yes, Prime Minister, let's use the Self-Defense Forces!" said another aide.
An important task of the Self-Defense Forces is to maintain domestic security. After all, the Self-Defense Forces were originally transformed from the police force.
However, Ohira Masayoshi hesitated to send out the Self-Defense Forces. After all, there were too many people demonstrating, more than 100,000 people. What would happen if the Self-Defense Forces came? Did they really want to let the Self-Defense Forces' tanks run over them?
"Prime Minister, the crowd outside has been instigated by the Chi army! They are no longer our people, they are all hostile elements. We must severely punish these people, otherwise, if the situation continues to escalate, our island government may be Chi-ized!"
Hearing this, Ohira Masayoshi was moved. Indeed, the slogans shouted outside were to get the Americans out and to force their own government to step down!
"Immediately mobilize the 1st Division to enter the Tokyo city area and maintain order in Tokyo!" said Masayoshi Ohira.
The 1st Division, which belongs to the Eastern Army, is numbered first and is naturally one of the most respected units. The combat effectiveness of this unit is still very strong and there is no problem in maintaining order in Tokyo!
The order was quickly issued, but the protesting crowd outside had beaten the police half to death, but still received no response.
"What's going on?" asked Ohira Masayoshi.
"The First Division claims that it is not ready yet and cannot enter the city immediately." After urging the First Division again, the staff said to Ohira Masayoshi with a grim expression.
Not prepared? The First Division should be ready to go at any time! What should they prepare?
"When will they be ready?" Tian Yuan asked directly.
"The commander of the First Division said it will take at least a week!"
"Baka! That bastard Haneda You!" Ohira Masayoshi slammed his hand on the table, making a crisp sound and sawdust falling down.
It was obvious that Yu Haneda knew about the riots happening in Tokyo, but he didn't dare to send out the Self-Defense Forces! Once the Self-Defense Forces' tanks started coming up, no matter how the situation was handled afterwards, Yu Haneda would not be able to escape the consequences! It was very likely that he would be pushed out as a scapegoat in order to calm the anger afterwards. This guy only cared about his own interests and didn't care about the safety of the entire island country at all!
"Tell Haneda Yu that as long as he brings the 1st Division to Tokyo, after this incident, let him come to Tokyo to serve as a land general." Ohira Masayoshi said.
Tian Yuanzhi shook his head: "Even if he is offered the position of Chief of the Defense Agency, he will not come. When the time comes, he will compromise! Why are there always such people in our Self-Defense Forces!"
At this time, Haneda You will definitely not come forward. The First Division cannot be relied upon, and the Ground Self-Defense Force cannot be relied upon either!
"What should we do then?" asked Ohira Masayoshi.
"Let's ask our American friends to come out." Tian Yuanzhi said, "They will not compromise and will definitely be willing to help us quell this riot."
Americans? Ohira Masayoshi was shocked. Indeed! Among the rioting crowd, there must be the families of the Self-Defense Forces soldiers. They are unwilling to contribute, and there are reasons. But Americans are different. Americans should know that if the Chijun succeeds, Americans will be driven away!
Now, ask for help from the Americans stationed in Yokota, and tell them that it is the Chi Army that is besieging the Prime Minister's Office! If the Americans don't come to rescue, the island country will be Chi-ized!
Sure enough, after receiving the call for help from the island government, Lieutenant General Paul immediately ordered the mobilization of the 1st Cavalry Division to station in Tokyo first to quell the riots!
The clown dared to come out and make trouble! The Chi Army is the cancer of the island country and must be eliminated! In particular, the slogans shouted by these guys are to get the Americans out, which seriously hurt the feelings of the Americans! Lieutenant General Paul's anger is also justified.
But now, Lieutenant General Paul did not know that the 1st Cavalry Division was facing a difficult problem. A group of chijun elements actually instigated the crowd to block the mobilization of the US military and launched an attack!
No matter how strong the M1 tanks were, they could not withstand the attack of anti-tank missiles. Seeing the M1 tanks being destroyed one by one by the missiles of the Chijun elements, Major General Kobe, who was already angry, immediately issued an order: "Quench the riots and go to Tokyo!"
"Buzz, buzz." The gas turbine of an M1 tank started quickly, the turret twisted around, and it opened fire fiercely on the trailer.
"Boom!" Two kilometers away, the top of the three-story building that had launched three anti-tank missiles instantly turned into a ruin. The 105mm high-explosive grenade turned all the Chi army elements there into ashes!
The body of the trailer shook a few times, but fortunately it did not overturn!
The driver operated the tank and drove it off the trailer. Now, there was no need for a trailer, and it could just run over the road!
The recent exchange of fire has caused many protesters to retreat, and now, seeing the American tanks opening fire, the huge roar is the best explosion-proof water hose!
The crowd dispersed, the gunfire stopped, and those chi soldiers disappeared without a trace in an instant!
March to Tokyo! The M1 tanks with their gun barrels raised high and the indignant 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army headed for the grave that made them infamous.
Sitting in an M1 tank, Major General Kobe was still furious. The Japanese are always this mean! They yell fiercely, but as long as they show their weapons, they will immediately obey! It was like this during World War II. Two atomic bombs made them wilt instantly! And now, the riots on the streets of Tokyo can be solved by just moving our tanks up!
