Spy Wars: I signed in at the Military Police at the beginning

Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, Yokosuka Naval Base is a busy scene. A large number of marines are patrolling the base shouting uniform slogans, and logistics personnel are busy transporting supplies in various vehicles.

On the sea not far from the dock, huge warships were neatly arranged like steel behemoths. Navy soldiers in neat uniforms walked briskly on the deck, carrying out their respective tasks.

A little further away, senior officers on the aircraft carrier's bridge were watching the carrier's ground crew and pilots busy making various preparations behind the glass that had been wiped clean as new.

If you look down from the sky at this time, the entire Tokyo Bay is already filled with aircraft carrier fleets loaded with planes. If you look more carefully, you can even find a lot of big black fish that have not entered the diving state cruising in the sea.

They stood like small islands in the waves, and the Maru Cross flags specially hung high on each ship demonstrated the powerful strength of the Shimadzu Navy.

"Cang Long, Fei Long aircraft carrier formation has arrived at the designated location!"

"The Yamato has arrived outside Tokyo Harbor!"

"Atsugi Naval Air Base has activated the highest response, all pilots are on standby, and fighter planes are ready to take off at any time!"

Inside the headquarters of Yokosuka Naval Base, Shimazu Chinobu, who showed no signs of injury, and a group of high-ranking naval commanders listened to reports from their officers coming and going.

"This can barely be considered the Third Expedition to Choshin, but it's a pity that our Majesty is on the opposite side this time!" Shimazu Chinobu drank coffee and looked at the fighter planes flying outside the window with a lot of emotions in his heart.

After eighty years, the Shimazu clan of Satsuma domain once again joined forces with the Matsudaira clan of Aizu domain, and the one being beaten was still the Choshu clan!

The only difference from the previous two expeditions to Choshu was that the main target this time was no longer the group of Choshu clan's deer, but the emperor behind the army's deer!

"Compared with our posture today, the 226th Military Remonstrance a few years ago was just like childish prank!" An elderly general with white hair sighed absentmindedly.

"Hehe, if the 226th Army's remonstrance failed, it was a rebellion; if it succeeded, it was a revolution! And what we are doing today is called, in the words of the young master: clearing the court of evil officials and pacifying the country!" said a slightly younger general excitedly.

"Clear the emperor's side and quell the national crisis! What the young master said is absolutely right. Aren't we clearing the emperor's side for the sake of the country?" A general in the room clapped his hands and cheered in agreement.

This time they mainly cleaned out the "king", as for the "sidekick", it was dispensable. Strictly speaking, they could even be considered a type of "sidekick".

"By the way, the Tiger Guards should have set out from Kagoshima now, right?"

"Your information is a bit outdated. The young master's Tiger Guards have already arrived at Hyogo. Hyogo has always been under the charge of our people, and the Tiger Guards are currently repairing on the spot!"

"So fast! Do you think there will be troops in Kobe, Osaka, and Heian-kyō that dare to stop the Tiger Guards?"

"I don't think so. Those who can stay in the country and have real power in the army at this time should not be fools!"

Speaking of the Tiger Guards, many people began to discuss the Tiger Guards' "loyalty to the king" route around the map. At this time, the atmosphere in the room was very good, without any tension before the war.

"Sir, do we still have to wait for the young master's Tiger Guards? With our current strength, it would be easy for us to break into the Imperial Palace without being blocked by the army. It is better to act earlier!"

During the discussion, General Saigo, who was a little impatient, couldn't help but ask Shimazu Chinobu, who was still leisurely drinking coffee. He was a man who couldn't sit still, and always felt that he should do something to support the Tiger Army.

"Mr. Saigo, why are you in such a hurry? We are just in the preparation stage now. Besides, once the Tiger Guards arrive, we may not have to fight this war!" said another general who held an opposing opinion.

"What if someone is blind or has ulterior motives and dares to fight back?" General Saigo asked.

"We have already laid out our plans. The most elite guards in the country have all been tied up in Tokyo! As for the remaining miscellaneous troops, do you think they have the guts to do that?" The general who held the opposing opinion continued to explain.

"That's right, the best way for those ragtag troops to survive is to hide in their base and wait for things to be over!"

"If they have the courage, it's not impossible for them to join the Tiger Guards in 'serving the king'!" Many generals in the command room agreed with the latter's point of view.

Political matters sometimes do not necessarily require direct recourse to weapons, especially in the current international situation, it is better not to fight if possible. The series of operations they started in the morning were to deter the scoundrels and avoid unnecessary trouble!

"Everyone, the Imperial Palace is just a target we can take down at any time. It is not in our interest to take action now!"

"Send a message to the Tiger Guards, and tell Zhen Ping that we old guys will not hold him back. Let him do whatever he wants to do boldly. I will take responsibility for all the consequences!" Shimazu Chinobu drank the coffee in his hand, gave the order, and stood up and walked out of the command room.

On the other side, the Yamaguchi Prefecture's loyalist troops, who were marching ahead of the Tiger Guards, stopped near Heian-kyo after learning that their home town had been robbed, and confronted the Tiger Guards' First Marine and Land Advance Team, which arrived later.

"Sir, I'm afraid we can't stop them! I've never seen the vehicles of the Tiger Guards before. Their tanks are so big!"

A major of the Yamaguchi Prefecture's Loyalist Army looked through a telescope at the Tiger Guards deployed in battle formation and felt that the army formed by the navy on the opposite side was more like an army than theirs.

"Get ready for battle! It's so dark on the other side and they're making such a big noise. They're probably going to fight at night! Even if we all die in battle tonight, we're going to hold them here!"

"Go and notify Lieutenant Colonel Mori in the logistics department and ask him to distribute all the spare weapons!" Colonel Yamaguchi, the highest commander of the Royalist Army, looked at the brightly lit position opposite and gave the order with a serious expression.

A moment later, the major who went to convey the order and urge for supplies came to Colonel Yamaguchi in a hurry as if he had lost his soul.

"Sir, it's bad. Lieutenant Colonel Maori and his confidants in the logistics department have escaped! They also left a message for you, asking you to leave as well!"

"Baga! The shame of the empire, Lieutenant Commander Mori is really embarrassing him... What's going on?"

Before Colonel Yamaguchi could finish his words, roars were heard from the Tiger Guard positions in the distance. Rockets drew dazzling tracks in the dark night sky, like falling meteors, carrying flames and destruction, and headed straight for the positions of the Royalist Army.
