Chapter 715: Attack Our Own People First

"Damn you Cornelia! She's acting on her own again!"

The content and process of the joint military exercise were discussed in advance. The people from Kururugi Genbu and the six families in Kyoto who didn't know military affairs only needed to tell their subordinates to follow the process and ensure that there would be no unexpected results. The final acceptance was enough.

But now, Cornelia actually informed them that tomorrow's joint coastal defense exercise would be temporarily adjusted and not follow the agreed script, which made them feel bad.

Moreover, Cornelia didn't discuss it with them, but directly informed them, so that they could prepare in advance.

"Okay, is it useful for you to get angry here? Will Cornelia change her mind?"

"The question is how should we respond!? This joint military exercise is the best opportunity to stabilize the domestic unrest. If something unexpected happens again, not only will our plan fail, but it will also aggravate the domestic unrest and even cause unrest!"

"Be prepared, the eyes of the whole world are on Sakura Country. Even Cornelia and Yang Hui dare not mess around."

"But how should we prepare? We don't even know what they are going to do!"

"..."

Everyone was silent. If they were to play business and politics, they were good at it, but military affairs... they were not good at it.

"Well, let's notify Akamatsu."

"How can this be done!?" As soon as this proposal came out, it was strongly opposed. "Akamatsu and his young group have been looking for an opportunity to kick us out of office and return to the glory of the past. If we notify Akamatsu, won't we be handing our lives to him?"

"Calm down, don't let anger and paranoia affect your judgment."

"Then tell me, am I wrong?"

"Yes, but not right." Kurumi Genbu thought about it and found that this choice has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is just as I said before. Once Akamatsu seizes this opportunity to restore the glory of the young group, they will be handing their lives to Akamatsu. And based on Kurumi Genbu's understanding of Akamatsu, he will not be soft-hearted.

But on the plus side, the joint military exercise has just begun, and Cornelia and Yang Hui are unwilling to be left out, and want to create some accidents. Once an accident occurs, it will cause the Sakura Country army to perform poorly in the joint military exercise, and there may be unrest in the country, so...

Before the accident happens, the command of the military exercise will be handed over to Akamatsu and the remaining young and vigorous faction. Then, if any accident occurs...it will not be the business of Kururugi Genbu and the six families of Kyoto, and all responsibilities will be borne by Akamatsu and the young and vigorous faction.

"Well... if you put it that way, it's true."

"But... what if Akamatsu defeated Cornelia and Yang Hui?"

"Hehe, Akamatsu defeated Cornelia and Yang Hui?" Kururugi Genbu shook his head. "Since the defeat in the last war, Akamatsu has been staying on the island. His mind is still stuck in the last war. How could he be a match for [Witch] and [Nightmare]?"

"So, this is a gamble. No, no, no, it can't even be called a gamble. Our victory is already determined."

"That's right."

"Then notify Akamatsu. Starting tomorrow, let him be fully responsible for this joint military exercise."

"By the way, how is Fujido's matter handled?"

"Fujido has been controlled. The result of the interrogation was fruitless. He insisted that he had no deal with Bunitaria and Yang Hui defeated him fairly."

"Hehe, do you believe it?"

"With I believe what I know about Fujido, but from the perspective of common sense, I don't believe it, no, I should say I can't believe it. "

"Yes, a teenager defeated Fujido in martial arts, haha."

"Continue to investigate, his family..."

"This is also the main reason why he was not allowed to participate in the military exercise. His wife and children are missing."

"Missing?"

"Yes, mysteriously disappeared, our people didn't find any traces, it seems that Fujido has anticipated his own end."

"Well... the only one who can do this is Akamatsu."

"If it's Akamatsu, it's okay. Fujido is Akamatsu's right-hand man. It's natural to protect his family. I'm afraid..."

"...Investigate it. If that's the case, we... no, the future of Sakura Country..."

...

At this time, Akamatsu, who was at Itsukushima Base, received the notice and showed an excited and excited expression on his face.

"Is this the day I've been waiting for? Hahahaha..."

"General, please give the order!" XN

"Well, pass this message to all the troops participating in the exercise, and send people to supervise the participating naval fleets. These damn cowards actually took away my navy when I was out of power, but... hehe, I'll take it back the way you took it!"

"Hi!" XN

"Order the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Army Divisions to prepare. Joint coastal defense is just an appetizer, and the real battle is still to come."

"Hi!" XN

"By the way, have you found Fujido's wife and children?" Akamatsu asked.

"I'm very sorry, General, we haven't found them yet."

"Really..." Akamatsu's expression dimmed after receiving the bad news. Fujido Kagamishiro was his right-hand man, the most powerful force in his hands, and one of his most promising successors.

He absolutely did not believe the rumor that Fujido Kagamishiro had collaborated with the enemy and deliberately let the enemy lose the battle. He knew Fujido Kagamishiro as a man who was upright and loyal to his country and compatriots, and would never betray his country and his nation.

Yang Hui also watched the duel between Fujido Kagamishiro through live broadcast. As a veteran, he could see that Fujido Kagamishiro tried his best, and Yang Hui was indeed very powerful.

After the duel, Akamatsu expected that Kururugi Genbu and the Six Families of Kyoto would take action against Fujido Kagamishiro. Regardless of whether Fujido Kagamishiro really betrayed or not, he would be sacrificed to give an explanation to the people.

So Akamatsu immediately ordered his subordinates to protect Fujido Kagamishiro's family, so as not to implicate his family in this explanation. This was also the last thing Akamatsu could do for Fujido Kagamishiro.

However, what made Akamatsu angry was that his subordinates were one step late. When they arrived, Fujido Kagamishiro's family had disappeared, and no traces were found to trace them.

"Get ready. The military exercise is over. We will go pick them up."

"Regarding this, General, I think...it may not be the Kururugi family and the Six Families of Kyoto who captured them."

"What did you say?" Akamatsu's pupils shrank. "What is going on? Explain it to me clearly."

"It's like this. The people below reported that the Kururugi family and the Six Families of Kyoto are also investigating their whereabouts and conducted investigations. They judged that the other party was not deliberately making a gesture to confuse us, so..."

"So what you mean is that Fujido's family is not in their hands, but was taken away by an unknown force?"

"Yes."

"Well...now within the scope of Sakura Country, the only forces that can do such a clean thing, besides us and the Six Families of Kyoto, are..." Akamatsu didn't finish, but he already had a guess and judgment.

"General, do you need help contacting them?"

"...No, not for the time being." Although Akamatsu was anxious to confirm whether his guess was right or wrong, now was not the time to contact the other party. A new round of war between the young and conservative factions had already begun, and Fujido Kagamishiro had already been involved. He could not give the conservative faction any more handles.

"However, with the guess, the investigation has a direction. Let's investigate first."

"Yes."

"By the way, if I remember correctly, does the Bunitalia Empire also have a prince and a princess in the Sakura Country?"

"Yes, Lelouch V. Bunitalia and Nunnally V. Bunitalia came to our country as a symbol of friendship two years ago."

"A symbol of friendship... Hehe, it's really ironic. Send someone to keep an eye on the brother and sister, and when necessary..."

"Yes, you command."

...

The next day, all the soldiers participating in the joint coastal defense became nervous because they received news that the content of the exercise had been changed and would no longer be carried out according to the original script. As for what kind of changes, they didn't know.

Compared with the soldiers of the Bunital Empire, the army of the Sakura Kingdom was more impetuous, because the legendary general Akamatsu of the Sakura Kingdom came back and took over the overall command of the joint military exercise.

For this sudden change, the army of the Sakura Kingdom immediately split into two factions. One faction expressed distrust and rejection of Akamatsu's efforts, while the other faction was very supportive and arrogantly declared: "Under the leadership of General Akamatsu, we will definitely teach those arrogant Bunital people a profound lesson!"

This news naturally reached the ears of Yang Hui, Cornelia and others. At this time, they were no longer spectators behind the Bunital Army, but more than a dozen people secretly sneaked into the uninhabited island near the coast of the Sakura Kingdom.

"Haha, the set of shirking responsibility has been played out by the group of people like Kururugi Xuanwu." Yang Hui smiled calmly.

"Akamatsu, just a defeated general." Cornelia sneered confidently, then looked at Yang Hui, "What is your battle plan?"

"My ultimate goal is here."

"Itsukushima!?" Cornelia widened her eyes. Not to mention that Itsukushima base was not within the scope of the exercise area, Itsukushima's defense was very tight, and it was not something that could be broken by a dozen people without Knightmares.

"Well, the first step of the plan is that we attack our army's first fleet..."

"What the hell? Attack our army?" Cornelia and others were puzzled and surprised.

"Well, with only a dozen of us, we definitely can't take Itsukushima, so... I plan to borrow some equipment."

"Borrow equipment... Knightmare!"

"That's right, and our machines are all on the flagship of the first fleet."

"...Then why bother? Isn't it better to bring the machine directly?" Cornelia asked.

"Come on, sister, we are pirates now, how can pirates get such advanced Knightmares?" Yang Hui complained.

"Um... so you arranged it early? Aren't you afraid that your own people will cause trouble for you?"

"Of course, I originally planned to take this opportunity to give our army a warning. Too many victories have made them a little arrogant."

"Well... okay, I understand. If there is a problem, I will help you, and you can go ahead and do it." Cornelia actually noticed what Yang Hui said. As Knightmare entered the fifth generation, technological innovation brought powerful military power, making the empire's expansion easier.

On the contrary, the ease of victory also affected the mentality of the soldiers, and they began to become arrogant and arrogant. If they were not warned, they would easily die on the battlefield.

So Cornelia also supported Yang Hui's decision.

"Then I'll trouble you, sister." Yang Hui looked at his watch and raised his lips, "Okay, everyone, there are still three minutes left, let's enjoy the pirate game."
