“Hmm…”
Hiroki opened his eyes dazedly, looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, and asked in confusion:
"Where is this place?"
"Nerima Ground Self-Defense Force 1st Military District Headquarters."
Sitting on the large sofa, Domon Yasuki smiled and said:
"how are you feeling?"
"I feel dizzy... like I was hit by a stick."
Conan felt that Hiroki was hinting at something about him, but he had no evidence.
Hiroki climbed up weakly, and then he found that there were not only Sakaki Makoto and his men in the room, but also many middle-aged men in military uniforms who looked intimidating without even getting angry.
Each of them wore a shiny badge on their shoulders.
"He...who are they?"
Hiroki was shocked. He had never seen such a scene before. He immediately hid beside Sakaki Makoto and looked around vigilantly.
“Let me introduce myself again…”
Behind the large desk, a man with a mustache stood up, walked to Hiroki, and stretched out his broad palm:
"Mr. Hiroki, I am the Chief of Staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force, Kota Komura, and these are the commanders of the 1st Division of the Eastern Army and the Central Response Group..."
"Ah... sir?"
When Hiroki heard Kota Komura addressing him, he was confused but secretly happy at the same time.
With so many high-ranking Self-Defense Forces officials present, most people would be happy when the chief of staff, who commands the Self-Defense Forces, addresses them as "sir", and Hiroki is no exception.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic."
After greeting Hiroki, the chief of staff continued the previous topic:
"I just received news that the police force stationed in Shinjuku District is gathering. They are the direct command of the Minister of Defense. They suddenly launched an operation. I'm afraid they got wind of it. If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive in Yokosuka in three hours."
"Not only that, the National Police Agency has also assembled SIT and SAT forces, and they will set off for Yokosuka within half an hour."
"We don't want to have a direct conflict with the police force and the police department, so we don't have much time left... Before you arrived, I had assembled the SFGP special operations group, a helicopter squadron, and 500 soldiers drawn from the infantry division. Due to our duties, we can't come forward directly, so this task must be handed over to someone who is courageous and able to adapt to changes... Domon, are you willing to be the commander of this operation?"
Makoto Sakaki knew very well that the operation against the Black Organization's headquarters could not be carried out openly with real guns and swords. Everything had to be done in secret, even if it would cause a big uproar afterwards. The high-ranking officers of several troops had to clear themselves, and they could not directly come forward to command.
Simply put, the biggest contributor to the success of this operation is the chief of staff. If it fails... one of the subordinates will have to take the blame, and that person is the commander of tonight's operation.
This is the best outcome. At least the Chief of Staff is willing to carry out this operation in secret.
"yes!"
Domon Yasuteru stood up and saluted:
"I will complete the task!"
The chief of staff patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly:
"I have high hopes for you. Remember, you must act quickly. I will set up a blockade on the way in the name of military exercises to buy time for you, but the Minister of Defense will not sit idly by, so I can only buy one hour. You must capture the fortress before the enemy's reinforcements arrive!"
"yes!"
"But the Maritime Self-Defense Force is stationed next to the Black Organization headquarters..."
Hiroki scratched his head:
"Compared to the entire Maritime Self-Defense Force, aren't the people we sent a little too few?"
"This is the maximum force I can mobilize without any instructions."
The Chief of Staff shook his head slowly:
"If there are more soldiers, not only will the US military base react, but it will also be difficult for me to explain afterwards. As for the Maritime Self-Defense Force, they will definitely come out to stop it, and they may have already been dispatched... This is something I cannot intervene in."
"What should we do? We can't just rush over and die!"
"This action was not a fair fight."
Sakaki Makoto took a puff of his cigarette and said solemnly:
"We are naturally at a disadvantage. The boss has been gathering his strength for so many years. If he didn't even have this little bit of defense, he would have been killed long ago. Why would he wait until now?"
"After considering this, we decided to avoid direct conflict with the Maritime Self-Defense Force. Instead, we decided to use other methods to quietly send a small group of elite troops into the Black Organization headquarters."
"What method?"
“That’s it!”
The chief of staff clapped his hands, and a soldier immediately stepped forward and placed a set of navy blue military uniforms on the table:
"This is the Maritime Self-Defense Force uniform. I have prepared 50 sets."
"The helicopter squadron led by Domon and 500 soldiers are just bait to attract the attention of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. When you arrive at the scene, create some chaos. Taking this opportunity, a small group of elite soldiers disguised as Maritime Self-Defense Force soldiers will break through the blockade and enter the fortress. In this way, we may be able to seize the opportunity to capture the enemy leader!"
Simple, but efficient.
At this point, there is no need for any complicated strategies. This small group of elite troops must use hidden weapons like ninjas to break through the blockade, enter the fortress, and head straight for the center!
"This small group of elite troops... I would like you, Mr. Sakaki, to lead it."
The Chief of Staff smiled and said:
"Domon has already told me about your past deeds. You don't need to prove your strength to us again. The most important point is that you know the enemy's leader. With you in command, the success rate should be higher, but at the same time, the risk is also greater... Are you really mentally prepared?"
"Of course, even if I'm alone, I have to continue this operation."
"very good."
The chief of staff looked at Kid, Hattori Heiji, Miss Miyano, and Conan and asked:
"Besides you, who else will be participating in this operation? This is a serious matter. I hope you can choose your partner carefully, Mr. Sakaki."
"I'm alone."
Hearing this, the chief of staff raised his eyebrows and nodded:
"Understood. All the soldiers have been assembled. You have five minutes to prepare. Guys, let's go out."
The senior officers of the Ground Self-Defense Force left the office one after another, and soon only Sakaki Makoto and a few others were left in the room.
"Hey, you want to raid the Black Organization headquarters alone?"
Conan was the first one who couldn't help himself:
"We can help, too!"
“You must be joking…”
Sakaki Makoto shook his head and said:
"Didn't you understand what Kota Kota said?"
"This time, the small group of elite soldiers responsible for raiding the headquarters will have a chance to survive if they succeed, but no one will be left alive if they fail."
"This is their bottom line and it cannot be changed."
