Kishida Nobusuke held his wife's hand, hugging their younger daughter, Nobuko. Their elder daughter, Fumiko, was holding onto her mother's arm. If this were a photograph, it would be titled "A Happy Family", but the terrified expressions on their faces completely ruined the aesthetic of the scene.

  With a loud crash, the iron gate was broken through by the crowd, and people rushed in like madmen.

  "Beat him to death, beat this running dog of Tojo Hideki to death."

  "Ah, spare my daughter."

  "He's dead, he's dead."

  "Dad, Mom."

  "Spare me, please." Then came the sound of clothes being torn apart.

  "You few, search inside the house, you few, find everything valuable, documents, hurry up."

  The scene was chaotic, with murder, arson and looting. This group of originally gentle citizens instantly turned into thugs.

  Everyone's body has a violent factor, but it is usually suppressed by various constraints. However, at this moment, Mu Yang's plan was like opening the devil's lock, and everyone here became a rioter.

  Kishi Yoshiko, the godmother-like figure who would later influence Japan's political situation, died a miserable death at the hands of her own countrymen during her flower-like years.

  That night, Tokyo was not peaceful. The sounds of killing, screaming, gunfire and flames were the main theme of that Christmas Eve in Japan. From then on, Japan would never celebrate Christmas again. Of course, this is not a story about time travel, so don't think too deeply into it, haha.

  Last night, Muyang slept a bit late, but this sleep was very sweet.

  In the morning, after getting up and opening the curtains, it had snowed last night in the second half of the night. The outside was already covered with a layer of accumulated snow, not too thick, but enough to cover the entire land.

  "What a wonderful snowfall, enough to cover up all the scars of this city," Murong muttered to himself.

  Matsumoto Hiroshi and Nakamura Masao came together to report last night's results to Mōyō, Matsumoto said: "Prime Minister, the action continued until after 2 o'clock in the morning yesterday, and the crowd dispersed only after it snowed. A total of 30 groups were dispatched as leaders."

  "The residences of the Aso, Okubo, Makino, Asano, Yoshida, Matsushita, Suzuki, Iwasaki of Mitsubishi, Hatoyama, Fukuda, Mitsui and Yasuda families were all taken over by us. In total 732 people were killed or injured. Of course this also includes those civilians who participated in the demonstrations."

  "Yesterday many people called the police to report, but I had already made arrangements beforehand. In the morning, I let the police department send someone to start investigating those places, and many places were burned down, directly becoming ruins."

  Matsumoto Hiroshi said this with a hint of excitement on his face, which is not like the Minister of Justice of a country at all, but rather extremely enthusiastic about criminal behavior.

  At this time, Nakamura Masao took over the conversation: "We started with a plan of 1,000 people, but later felt that it was clearly not enough, so we directly mobilized 3,000 people to participate. These people were mainly for the convenience of taking wealth." As he said this, Nakamura Masao's expression became somewhat excited and he continued: "Prime Minister, those big families really do have a lot of wealth hidden away. You don't know how much stuff we found when searching their homes. Some families even built their own treasure vaults. Now, the treasures are piled up in a warehouse. There's gold, jewels, antiques, and paintings. Because there's too much stuff, we haven't had time to count it all yet. What do you think we should do with these things?"

  The Minister of the Imperial Army, a general, was also excited when talking about being a bandit, and it was really unstoppable. Muyang thought with malice, feeling amused in his heart.

  "Let's seal it at the storage location for now, add more manpower to keep an eye on it, and wait until we're a bit more stable before sending someone to take stock. For now, let's not move it, if the news leaks out, we'll become the target of public criticism."

  Japan, Tokyo.

  The streets were sparse, the factories had not yet started work, and schools were still suspended. In view of the chaotic situation in Tokyo, Prime Minister Kijuro Shidehara issued another order, requiring the Imperial Guard Division to impose stricter martial law, prohibiting anyone from going out at will.

  Tokyo has become gloomy.

  The whole of Japan was shocked by what happened in Tokyo.

  However, this matter has brought great gains to Mu Yang. From now on, Mu Yang's task of grasping power in Tokyo is basically completed. Tokyo has become a place like purgatory for him, and no one dares to stand up and oppose Prime Minister Mu Yang anymore.

  The imperial family also fell silent, and they were still making efforts to elect a new emperor.

  Within the Chinese Expeditionary Force, there have been several incidents of low-ranking officers killing their superiors, causing a sense of unease within the entire Japanese military. It's not just that they can't fight, even normal orders may not be carried out. At this point, the Japanese army has fallen into a state of semi-paralysis. The Nationalist and Communist armies have seized this rare opportunity to launch a counterattack on Chinese soil, winning several victories and greatly boosting the people's morale in the war of resistance.

  No matter how chaotic it was, time would eventually move forward, and finally arrived in 1945.

  On January 15, 1945, the Imperial General Headquarters issued an order in the name of the Army and Navy Ministries to dispatch troops from China to Southeast Asia to support the Southern Army's operations against the United States.

  This time, those generals who had not been named by Muyang before and even defected to Muyang's side all sent telegrams expressing their agreement to obey the orders of the Ministry of the Army and the General Staff. This group of people, after careful calculation by Muyang, was approximately over 3 million people, which is absolutely not a small number. To know that on the vast land of China, there are now only about 10 million Japanese troops in total, this has already accounted for one-third of them, and the remaining Japanese troops will only have a harder time.

  The Japanese Navy has received orders to set sail and prepare for maritime escort of the Army's relocation operation in the South China Sea.

  The grand and vigorous transfer operation has begun, and the Chinese leaders have also realized that this is absolutely a good thing, and they have ordered their troops to clear the way and let the Japanese army move out as soon as possible.

  But the US didn't, originally the US was transferring troops from the West Coast, which was a long and difficult journey, and Americans were even more afraid of death. Southeast Asia had just shown some signs of improvement when Japan transferred troops on a large scale, how can this be allowed?

  The US suddenly sent an urgent telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, asking him to send troops to intercept the transferring Japanese army and alleviate the pressure on the Southeast Asian battlefield. Chiang's No. 1 operational plan during his visit to Japan was to protect the Burma front line and maintain the US military's intention, but he lost three provinces including Henan and Hunan, causing his domestic prestige to drop to a frightening level. Now the US is making another move.

  He thought for a long time and ultimately did not agree with the US opinion, and in the end he let the Japanese army leave China. As a result, the Americans also hated Old Chiang (Chiang Kai-shek).
