Southeast Asia, the arena of contention between the US and Japan. Due to the influence of Meiyang, the fight is more brutal than in history. The US has to pay three to five times the effort to achieve the same effect as before, which makes Americans even more hateful towards Japanese people.

  At home, due to the large-scale withdrawal of the Japanese army, many areas were vacated, making the original strategic circle completely useless. Okamura Neiji and the Kwantung Army, South China Army had to reunite again and redefine a new defense circle.

  Due to sudden changes, they were heavily outmaneuvered by the Chinese army several times and lost nearly 10,000 men.

  On the battlefield, the Japanese army had a hard time, and in life, the Japanese army had an even harder time, because Muyang had already implemented military sanctions against the Japanese troops who refused to hand over their commanders, with the absurd reason that Muyang had come up with.

  All troops with commanders on the list of rebels will be completely cut off from supplies of ammunition and materials until those leaders either surrender or return to their country to turn themselves in. Muyang is using this tactic to force internal strife within the Japanese army, believing that eventually there will come a day when the lower-ranking officers can no longer endure such days and rise up against their commanders.

  As the fighting between Japanese and American forces in Southeast Asia intensified, the US committed more troops and also placed greater emphasis on blockading and bombing Japan than it had historically.

  The island-hopping plan was implemented ahead of schedule, and the US military began to deploy large numbers of B-29 bombers, frequently visiting mainland Japan. The United States started implementing a scorched-earth policy against Japan.

  "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe have been bombed by the US military, with tens of thousands of civilians dead or injured, and over a million people left homeless. What should we do?"

  "Alright, let's let local governments handle it themselves for now."

  "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Yokohama, Hachioji and Fukuoka have been bombed by the Americans, most of our factories and homes have been burned down, what shall we do?"

  "Alright, let the local government handle it themselves first."

  At last, one day, Muyang heard the continuous and violent explosions in his sleep. He rushed to the window to look outside, but the sky was pitch black. However, the continuous explosions and the distant flames rising into the sky made Muyang realize that the Americans had finally begun bombing Tokyo.

  This is a dangerous signal. He would rather die at the hands of American gasoline bombs without knowing what's going on, or it's better to make plans ahead of time.

  Anyway, the task has been completed, and he can return to modern times at any time. He will wait for a month and then start a new world, but he still has some regrets because his plan is not yet complete, and the final third part has not been finished.

  Muyang put on his clothes and directly crossed back to his own home, sitting in the living room of his own home. It was really a feeling of being in a different world. How long had he not been back? Carefully calculating, it was probably more than 2 months.

  In these two months or so, Muyang has indeed done a lot of things, and even thinking about it makes me feel somewhat unbelievable.

  Woke up in the middle of sleep, Americans are really inhumane.

  Go back to sleep, there's nothing that can't be said tomorrow. But for now, take off the thick winter clothes you're wearing, it's still summer in this modern era and these winter clothes are suffocating.

  Turned on the air conditioner and slept, rolled over on her Simmons bed and continued sleeping.

  Woke up in the morning, watched the early news, and saw reports of US-Japan joint military exercises on TV. The right-wingers kept shouting about these news, making Mu Yang feel fed up. Since I couldn't beat you in reality, I'll definitely play to defeat you in the task world. Skipping breakfast, I put on thick winter clothes and returned to the Japanese Prime Minister's residence in the anti-war world.

  The bedroom door was knocked on with a "bang bang" sound.

  "Prime Minister, sir, are you awake? The US military is conducting a bombing raid. Shall we take shelter in the underground air-raid shelter?" came the voice of Kuniaki Koiso's secretary from outside the door.

  Mu Yang had already dressed and opened the door to follow the secretary to the underground air raid shelter. He sat in the shelter, which was thirty meters deep underground, where it felt damp and cold. Mu Yang tightened his coat and didn't say a word. The secretaries and staff from the Prime Minister's office who came down together also didn't dare to speak casually.

  The dim yellow light, due to the vibration, caused the bulb to sway slightly, making the light in the air raid shelter swing back and forth.

  I can't move, I have to complete this task, but I won't be able to stay in Tokyo anymore. In the future, Tokyo will experience several massive bombings, and the later Tokyo will be completely rebuilt from the ruins. Who knows, maybe one of those times, an American plane flew a bit off course, and I would unfortunately meet with disaster. It's better to find a safe place.

  Where is Japan safe? Where has Japan been bombed? In fact, it should be asked where Japan has not been bombed. The United States formulated a bombing plan, and the names of 98 cities were listed. According to statistics, these cities have all been visited by US military planes to varying degrees. Today's Japan is like a naked woman, constantly being ravaged by American strong men without any ability to resist.

  But in the end, Muyang finally remembered two places, Kyoto and Nara.

  This may be the only two cities in Japan that have not been bombed, and the reason for not being bombed is ultimately due to Liang Sicheng's efforts. When the US formulated its bombing plan, Liang Sicheng, as an architectural expert, strongly advised the US military leaders to abandon plans to bomb these two cities because of their rich cultural heritage and well-preserved ancient architecture.

  Of course, this is also because these two cities are not industrial cities and have no contribution to the resistance against Japanese army, so they were not bombed later, which can be considered a blessing.

  Moyang's attention is now focused on these two cities, or rather one city, which is Kyoto. After all, Kyoto has existed as the capital of Japan for several hundred years in history, so moving the capital to Kyoto might be more acceptable to people.

  Of course, this move is not a real move, but rather the Prime Minister and Cabinet members are preparing to relocate their offices to Kyoto, as for others, they don't have time to bother with them.

  The bombing has ended, leaving only devastation everywhere, with rubble and collapsed houses all over the place. Charred bodies are being pulled out of the wreckage, no longer recognizable as human beings.

  Move the capital, must move the capital.

  In the morning, Muyang convened a full cabinet meeting, the content of which was not disaster relief, nor comforting the people, nor distributing supplies, but rather relocating the capital.

  Many people looked at Mu Yang with astonished eyes after hearing the news, and some even showed unintentional disdain in their eyes. As a prime minister, you are so afraid of death, what qualifications do you have to sit in that position?

  "In order to maintain the stability of the imperial evidence and for the safety of the Emperor, I have decided to relocate the capital to Kyoto. Also, when we move, I will ask for the opinion of the Imperial Family and see if they agree with the relocation."

  "It's been over a month since the passing of Emperor Hirohito, but the imperial family has yet to decide on a new emperor. It seems we need to urge them to speed up the selection process. I'll be heading to the Imperial Palace soon to discuss this matter with the imperial family members. A decision must be made soon."
