"What chance?" Minister of Justice Matsumoto Hiroshi asked in puzzlement.

  A stern expression appeared on Mio's face as he looked at the three and said, "The opportunity to grasp even greater power, to establish a family. The great families of the Empire hold the economic lifeline of the Empire, hold the politics of the Empire, hold the rights of the military. Who is Japan for? In my view, Japan is Japan for those great powers, not for His Majesty the Emperor, not for our Japan."

  "Our foundation is shallow, and we want to establish a greater power, grasp more power, even establish a family. Naturally, this will touch the interests of those old powers, and we will face the suppression of the old powers. If it were not for special circumstances, we would absolutely not be able to succeed."

  "Now, our chance has come, this is the opportunity given by heaven to us. If we can seize this opportunity, then Japan will be ours in the future. Gentlemen, do you have the determination to fight with me?"

  The three of them were slightly flushed in the face after being moved by Mu Yang's words, it was clear that they had been touched. Being able to establish their own family was every Japanese person's dream and ultimate goal.

  "Prime Minister, you still haven't said what kind of opportunity it is." asked the Minister of Education, Ninomiya Harushige, in a pressing tone.

  Moyou stood up, walked to the window and pulled open the curtains, pointing at the square outside and said to the three people who followed him: "Look at these Japanese civilians in the square, our opportunity lies with them."

  Three people looked out of the window at the tens of thousands of Japanese civilians gathered in the square, all somewhat perplexed and unable to understand the intentions of the Emperor.

  "Prime Minister, they are just ordinary citizens, what opportunities will they give us?" said Masao Nakamura.

  "Don't underestimate the masses. As the saying goes, 'a single grain of sand can become a tower, and a small stream can become an ocean.' If we do our guiding work well, when the time comes, the energy released by these masses will be enormous, possibly beyond your imagination."

  Muyang's face revealed a smile, or rather, a sly grin.

  "Prime Minister, what do you want to do?"

  "It's actually quite simple, send someone to blend in with the crowd and spread the news of the Emperor's death. On the surface, it seems like those army leaders are doing it, but behind the scenes, there are also those big families and powerful forces supporting them, stirring up their emotions, inciting them to charge into the strongholds of those big families. As for what to do next, do I need to say?" Mu Yang said, walking back to the sofa, picking up a cigar box from the table and lighting one for himself.

  Matsumoto Hiroshi and Ninomiya Harushige were absolute old hands in the bureaucracy, so they naturally knew what to do next. The two began a heated discussion on who to send, how to incite them, and how to guide these civilians to attack those elder statesmen's residences, even proposing that a group of people be organized to plunder the wealthy families.

  To know that those big families all have a deep foundation and a rich family background, this is absolutely a good opportunity to make a fortune, and if done well, it will definitely bring great wealth.

  A prime minister, plus a war minister who controls the Japanese army, plus a justice minister who controls the police and judiciary in Japan, plus a culture minister who controls public opinion, when these people get together to study robbery, it is absolutely unbelievable.

  "Let this matter be handled by Matsumoto Hiroshi and Ninomiya Harushige. My requirement is to launch a public opinion campaign, make the people resent those big families with great power, then incite and guide the masses to rise up in riot, attack their mansions, smash, grab and burn. Our goal is to completely eliminate those old forces and pave the way for our future."

  "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we will definitely get this thing done." Matsumoto Hiroshi patted his chest to guarantee.

  "The imperial family and the royal clan should not be touched for now, or we will become isolated and it will not be beneficial to our future work. However, those old nobles, old families, and even our political enemies are all targets of our attack. Also, the plundered goods should be placed in a safe place for centralized management, set aside a portion as action funds, and the remaining will be evenly distributed among us to establish an economic foundation for our family."

  It's said that wealth and treasure can move people's hearts, and no one can resist the temptation of real gold and silver. With Mu Yang's conditions, it will definitely make the three of them even more motivated to do this thing.

  Matsumoto Hiroshi said excitedly: "Prime Minister, many of those big families have guards. If we mobilize ordinary people to rush into the family's mansion, they may be shot by the other side. Of course, I'm not sympathizing with those people, but if there are large-scale deaths among them, they will collapse quickly. Once they lose confidence, they will disperse quickly."

  "What's on your mind?" asked Mu Yang.

  "Give them guns, I'll prepare to send people in and then give guns to some of them. At least make it a thousand-man squad. When the time comes, these people will be the main force for storming the residence, killing, arson, and looting supplies. Of course, this group will be firmly controlled by us." said Matsumoto Hiroshi.

  Muyang didn't care about the money from robbery, nor did he care how many Japanese people died. However, he absolutely didn't want his carefully planned scheme to fail due to some minor deviations. Matsumoto Hiroshi's proposal was excellent, and Muyang decided on the spot to withdraw 500 of the most loyal soldiers from Nakamura Masao's Imperial Guard Division. Then, Matsumoto Hiroshi would dispatch police officers to form an elite special forces team composed of trained personnel, and both sides would work together to accomplish this task.

  Matsumoto Hiroshi and Ninomiya Harushige bid farewell and left, but the two did not part ways, instead gathering together to continue researching the details of inciting riots. As for the details, Mōyō would not ask about them, he left Nakamura Masao behind, there were more important things to discuss.

  "Nakamura, when we first cleaned up the Army Headquarters and General Staff, we were too thorough and ended up killing everyone, leaving you with no one to use now. This is my fault." Murai said to Nakamura Masao.

  "The Prime Minister doesn't have to say that, those who participated in the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor should be put to death. As for the personnel problem in the Army Ministry, it's not a big deal, I can fill it with people from my Imperial Guard Division first, and adjust later." said Masao Nakamura.

  "You decide for yourself, to say the least, not a single person from the General Staff Headquarters has stayed behind, and I, as the acting Chief of the General Staff, am still alone. In my opinion, let's have the Prime Minister's Office take charge of the General Staff Headquarters' affairs for now." Mu Yang said with some helplessness.

  "I left you alone, wanting to discuss with you the Empire's war situation. The Southeast Asian battlefield is now tight, we should send more troops to Southeast Asia to support the Imperial Guard stationed there. When the Empire implemented Operation No. 1, wasn't it to open up the transportation line to the south? Now that China's war situation has stabilized, I think, shouldn't we mobilize the army to move south?"

  Muyang has finally started implementing his second plan.
