＜ Gaiden: Reunification of Japan (2) >
The chaos intensified as the black-painted South Korean naval corvettes and fighter jets from the Korean mainland began armed demonstrations.
Korea has been stationed for quite a long time regardless of East and West Japan, and it is not unusual for the Korean Navy and Air Force to operate normally in Japanese waters.
But this was clearly different.
It was a moment when South Korea’s intention that it would never tolerate the unification of Japan, even by force, was clearly revealed to the world.
***
East Japan Cabinet Prime Minister Yohei Kono covered his face.
The scene of the South Korean prime minister’s speech to the parliament, which was broadcast around the world, was reflected in his eyes.
-We’ve been invaded by Japan over and over again, and now they’ll come back! We can survive only if we stop it for the sake of the freedom and independence of the Republic of Korea!
It was a speech with a sense of urgency. In fact, I had a few excuses to say about him.
The Japanese have already paid the price in blood through the battles between the Russian and American forces, the civil war that followed the communist rebellion, and the accidental bombing of the US nuclear warhead. did it or
But that was their fear. The Koreans saw their unity as determining their destruction and survival, so there was no other way than to convince them that they would never touch Korea again and never colonize Korea again.
‘No, does Japan have the ability to colonize Korea? Isn’t it the other way around?’
Even if western and eastern Japan unite as a pair, that is impossible.
“Sir Prime Minister, the Korean Air Force planes are sortieing.”
“I have been informed of any N-17s idling right outside our airspace right now. And it was around the time we got reports that thousands of citizens were now smashing border posts and barbed wire.”
“That’s not it. The South Korean military has launched a number of transport planes under the cover of N-23 fighters. It’s like a paratrooper.”
Russia has many paratroopers. Can not help it. Because the land is too wide.
And Korea was also greatly influenced by the Russian military system, and above all, as it did not border any country other than Russia on the ground, not a small number of the army’s combat units were airborne units.
“Can you stop the Korean army from attacking?”
“It is determined by the South Korean side’s willingness to use force. If you use force, you cannot maintain air superiority.”
“Make a call with the Russian side.”
Even if you pay 1,000 trillion yen, if you can bake and boil Russia, unification will be accomplished. The United States has already lost its status after the nuclear explosion, and Russia is the only one who can control Korea, which is raging with foam.
Regardless of North and South Korea, Japan’s military power is on the weak side. This is due to the gentleman’s agreement between the United States and Russia, which is observantly kept even though there is no reason to keep it.
Even one phone call from the Kremlin is enough for Korea to be defeated by the military. But what do you have to offer to do that?

A squadron of fighters with slanted V-tails flew quickly across the East Sea.
It was the Russian Empire’s main air defense aircraft and Korea’s high-end air combat fighter, the N-23, equipped with extremely low RCS, great speed, long range, and BVR.
The fact that they, one of the two pillars of the Korean Air Force, along with the number-based low-class fighter and multi-role N-17, were on the forefront revealed how the Korean government felt it was at a loss.
“This is Boramae, come out as a gambler.”
The main foreign language in Korea is Russian, but English also has a formidable status. Therefore, all Korean students have learned both English and Russian ‘obviously’ in the curriculum.
Naturally, the call signs were mixed in Korean, English, and Russian.
“Haedongcheong tells the former squadron, what we’re dealing with isn’t the fake fanatics we and our seniors have dealt with! Be nervous!”
Of course, you can’t lose with an objective power difference, but isn’t there such a thing as one?
In the meantime, the Korean military has conducted overseas operations on several occasions, most of them in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Among them, there were some aliens and cultists who insisted on eternal life through human cloning, and some cultists who believed that science and technology should be used to purify the human brain in order to eliminate some kind of pain. Of course, the two denominations were attacked militarily by the Asian Joint Defense Treaty forces, including the South Korean military, and internationally, it was determined that they were under the control of the CIA as they were under strong pressure from Russia for human rights violations. It was the cause, though. In any case, the fanatics are easy to deal with as long as they have permission to shoot.
Both western and eastern Japan have in common that their military power is weak, but if they cannot subdue fanatics, they must remove the military sign.
What they’ve done so far has been just air raids, and although there have been people who sometimes resisted with shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns, those bringing proper fighters didn’t happen on the continent.
On the other hand, they are supersonic fighters, even if their performance is poor.
“Do what you’ve been trained to do, Hunter-killer, Kaiser, this is Haedongcheong, requesting a data link.”
-i get it. Haedongcheong, we will proceed with the data link. Detect well.
– A direct order was issued from the Ministry of National Defense. Never fire first,
“The bandit has no BVR capability! If the enemy fires first, it means that it is already a close combat situation, but rather we are in danger!”
Even if 50 bandits are captured without damage, if even one N-23 is hit, it is a huge loss. Efforts made by the Korean government to introduce it in Russia were to the point of tears.
Even Czechoslovakia, Russia’s first-class ally, requested the introduction, but as the marriage between the Crown Princess of Czechoslovakia and the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary became visible, the complete restoration of the Habsburg Empire became visible. it was
If the marriage was abandoned at this stage, it is highly likely that Russia changed its attitude and allowed exports, and the theory that the Russian imperial family put pressure on the Duma, which was reluctant to marry cousins – even so, marriages between cousins have already occurred in the previous generation. Although it is not convincing because there are too many cases – it was a marriage that was a fire enough to exist, but by wrapping it up as a romance of the century, the marriage finally succeeded by winning the support of the people, but the export of the N-23 was lost in return.
Germany or Austria-Hungary were allies for the time being, and the British and French Empire joined the CDP, but there was a difference in temperature with the countries that had been in the Allied Forces for a while.
Anyway, it was encouraging for Korea to operate products that Czechoslovakia eventually gave up on importing, but the problem was that there was not much guarantee that export licenses would be issued again.
So, if you lose here, you have little hope of making up for it. It’s not like the price is a penny or two.
“It would be best not to shoot each other, but…”
Even if firing occurs, the government’s decision is to stop unification as much as possible.
“Catch the bandit! Eiko and Ryuda! 12th and 8th groups, respectively!”
“Lock on!”
The X-band radar captured the maneuvers of the Japanese fighters.

“Sir, Japan will never, never again return to the Japanese Empire.”
-Are you telling me to believe that now?
“……What does the Korean government want?”
– It’s no use trying to convince me alone, the people will never be able to convince you! the people!
After the end of World War II and independence, the exchanges between the two countries continued, with Korea sending troops to Japan once.
Of course, it wasn’t peaceful. Practically, except for manpower, the Korean military, who had a strong sense of hostility toward Japan, caused problems in the United States, which fought against the communists in the Japanese civil war, not long after independence to the extent that a Congressional hearing was held. It was ignored due to the logic that it is more important than the human issue and the faction logic.
And after that, the U.S. struck a mega accident that would bury it all.
Anyway, regardless of whether Korea continues to trade with Japan from east to west or whatever it is, it has gotten along just fine. Japan also paid reparations to both the state and individuals for its colonial rule.
However, it could not be said that there was no emotion between the two countries at all. Western Japan has demanded the return of the islands in the East Sea, and in eastern Japan, there has also been a claim by far-right forces to restore the Yasukuni Shrine in North Tokyo, which is under the jurisdiction of the Russian military.
Accordingly, even the governments of the United States and Russia, exceptionally, praised the Axis Powers as an act of threatening the significance of the existence of the United Nations, which succeeded the Allied Powers during World War II, and warned strongly – in fact, it means to warn the governments of Britain, Germany, Italy, etc. were stronger—although they were immediately crushed, they weren’t mutually exclusive anyway.
Of course, most of the older generations who experienced colonialism have long since died, but their legacy, nationalism, still remains, and the current president of the Republic of Korea is himself the head of the nationalist faction.
In other words, the match was literally the worst.
– Do you know what the party members are saying to me now? Unification is the primary thing, and you will now reunify the Ryukyus, take back Hokkaido, invade the Korean Peninsula, and then occupy all of Manchuria, Southeast Asia, and North Korea. No, it’s not about party members, it’s just that all major media outlets are talking about it together!
“Even if someone other than you comes to power, it won’t happen unless the Japanese people collectively become drug addicts. Even a three-year-old knows what it means to ask for Russian territory back.”
At least the Czech Republic returned to Austria-Hungary as a union of the married couple in the first place, and the ‘he’, which is considered sacrosanct in the Russian Empire, was separated by his will to let the Czechs decide the next king on their own. If it had been formally incorporated in the
After a while, something similar to the sound of words was heard over the receiver. The Prime Minister listened closely and felt that the conversation was coming and going over the handset.
-Are you telling the truth?
– Don’t tell me!
– No, no matter what, in the face…
After a while, the conversation resumed.
– So why did you hit Pearl Harbor?
“……”
Cabinet members who were listening opened their mouths.

Whether in western or eastern Japan, it tends to draw a line with the former Japanese Empire, but in reality it is not.
For example, descendants of people who were former high officials of the Japanese Empire still occupy positions in the House of Representatives or the Cabinet.
Of course, in the case of East Japan, Russia has a sense of urgency, so direct descendants of war criminals cannot be raised to high-ranking positions, but it is a common occurrence in western Japan, where the United States has also abandoned it.
Chief of Staff Teruyasu Mudaguchi is one such example.
In World War II, he was a general in the ranks of generals and was taken to the war criminal tribunal without surrender to the war crimes judge, but he was acquitted and returned alive. He was a family business soldier.
Rumor has it that Emperor Mikhail of the Russian Empire saw his grandfather’s face at the war crimes tribunal and burst out laughing. Whether that had anything to do with being acquitted was unknown.
In any case, his grandfather, who had survived unharmed in Reykjavik, naturally became the head of the new western Japanese army, and his influence naturally permeated the entire western Japanese army.
Thanks to this, his family became a family business and produced chief of staff for three generations.
However, he was holding his head now.
“Director Hajime has arrived.”
“Yamamoto… the gentleman?”
Why is the director of NHK looking for him in this situation?
“Damn, tell me to come in, the reporters smelled it.”
A South Korean air force plane broke into the air defense identification zone, and South Korean warships were stationed in front of Japanese territorial waters in combat posture.
Once this became known, it was certain that the chaos in western Japan would become impossible to deal with.
