421: Chapter 421 Reorganizing Congress
Nakae Koji was a cabinet member and the Commander of the China Invasion Expeditionary Force.
Ever since Higashida Hirofumi became the Prime Minister, the Parliament had effectively been controlled by the military.
Currently, the United States of America was preoccupied with its own affairs and had no time to meddle in their trivial matters.
"Remember your place, now leave!" Higashida Hirofumi shot him a glance and sternly reminded him.
"Yes!" The secretary acknowledged and exited.
...
"Lord Putian, I didn't expect you to be so resilient!" Nakae Koji said jokingly while brewing tea.
"Zhongzhong Jun, my luck has always been good," Putian Xiaoyezi replied.
"I'm curious, with your strength, how were you captured alive?" Nakae Koji asked.
"There was a master there, extremely powerful," Putian Xiaoyezi fabricated.
"Oh? Then how did you escape?" Nakae Koji continued to ask.
"Even tigers nap sometimes. I couldn't defeat him, but I could seize the opportunity to escape," Putian Xiaoyezi replied.
Nakae Koji nodded and continued to ask:
"Then, what brings you to me today?"
"I plan to reorganize the Parliament, and I hope to get your support," Putian Xiaoyezi stated directly.
"Pfft~"
Nakae Koji spat out a mouthful of tea.
Now that the Parliament was controlled by the military, reorganizing it meant taking action against the military.
"Hahaha! Lord Putian, that's not a joke to be made!"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Putian Xiaoyezi had a serious expression.
Seeing his expression, Nakae Koji's face gradually turned cold.
"Lord Putian, I'll assume you're drunk today and won't pursue this. Please leave!" Nakae Koji turned his face away and issued the order to leave.
"You should know the consequences of loose lips! Since the words are out, do you think I'll leave easily?" Putian Xiaoyezi threatened.
Nakae Koji understood; this was a prelude to action.
"Crash~"
He acted first, flipping the teatable.
"Someone!" Nakae Koji shouted.
There was no response from outside.
His heart sank, and he thought, 'This is bad.'
Putian Xiaoyezi was from the Red Coat Sect and was very skilled. He knew he was no match.
"Eat this, and you can live!"
What he took out was not a pill, but a capsule identical to the one he had taken.
"What is this?"
"Is it meaningful to ask that? No matter what it is, you have to eat it."
Nakae Koji hesitated repeatedly but still chose to swallow it.
"Zhongzhong Jun, perhaps you still hold grudges now, but I believe you will soon feel honored by today's decision."
Putian Xiaoyezi stood up and walked over to him.
"Next, I'll need your cooperation to put on a show..."
He explained his plan.
"You're serious!?" Nakae Koji's eyes widened.
"The future of the Great Sun Country rests on today; how can we hesitate?"
"Higashida Hirofumi, that old fox, is not easy to deal with," Nakae Koji reminded him.
"Even the craftiest fox can't outsmart a good hunter. You just do as I say," Putian Xiaoyezi said with full confidence.
"Alright!" Nakae Koji gritted his teeth and agreed.
He had no other choice now.
"Then, without further ado, let's begin!" Putian Xiaoyezi said.
"I'll remind you again, do not harbor any improper thoughts, or you'll lose your life!" He walked to the door and reminded him again.
"Understood!" Nakae Koji nodded.
...
Three hours later, at the Parliament building.
Nakae Koji stood in the lobby on the first floor, looking disheveled.
Many influential figures from the military arrived one after another.
"Zhongzhong Jun, is the news true? Say something!" A general anxiously asked.
"Yeah, where did your news come from anyway? Why don't any of us know?" Another general echoed.
"I told you to speak, you're killing us!"
...
Many people surrounded Nakae Koji, asking him questions.
But he remained silent.
"Everyone, no need to ask anymore, the news is true." Putian Xiaoyezi slowly walked in, accompanied by a strange-looking robot.
"Putian Xiaoyezi!!? How are you here?" Someone loudly questioned.
"Why can't I be here? If I hadn't brought this bombshell news, I'm afraid you all would have died in your sleep!" Putian Xiaoyezi laughed.
"Don't be an alarmist; in my opinion, this news must be false!"
"You'll know whether it's true or false. But before that, I have something to announce!" Putian Xiaoyezi walked to the center, puffed out his chest, and declared loudly.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for his next words.
"Higashida Hirofumi is opinionated and narrow-minded. I believe he must be removed from his position, and the Parliament must be reorganized!" Putian Xiaoyezi's words were shocking.
"What!?" Many people exclaimed in unison.
They thought Putian Xiaoyezi had gone mad.
"What are you? How dare you say such things?" A general cursed.
"Chirp~"
The robot acted, a single shot to the head.
"Generals, do you think what I said makes sense?" Putian Xiaoyezi looked around and asked.
The scene was silent; not a single person responded.
