Kanagawa Prefecture, Izu Peninsula, Yokosuka City, the gateway of Tokyo.
Although it was adjacent to the Yokosuka military base, which sounded frightening, the people in this city had calmly accepted the existence of foreigners for decades. It had been a century and a half since the founding of Perry Nation.
Foreigners would do evil from time to time. Anyway, it was impossible for them to be unlucky. Moreover, compared with the high frequency of foreigners doing evil in Okinawa, the US army next to Tokyo was relatively restrained. The citizens of Yokosuka City were already very lucky.
"Ring, ring, ring."
A group of high school students who had just finished school rode bicycles on the street. In the ringing of bells, the male high school students laughed and talked about the interesting things that happened recently.
Under the clouds, the students riding bicycles on the lush Sakamoto Road with flowers blooming on both sides had a kind of poetic and fresh feeling.
Island nation students riding bicycles under the sunset Sakamoto Road, this kind of classic movie scene had not changed from a hundred years ago to the present.
If it was the students of China, it was estimated that they would all ride electric bikes to and from school.
It was not that the Island nation students did not want to ride electric bikes, because on the side of the Island nation, electric bikes riding had many problems in the man-made environment.
They were too lazy to handle it, policy restrictions, there was no universal public environment, and so on. The most important thing was that Island nation electric bikes were indeed very expensive, one of which cost two to three hundred thousand.
Even the electric mopeds commonly ridden by housewives cost at least one hundred thousand. Plus the battery motor, it was better to buy a motorcycle of the same price. As for the cheap electric bikes in foreign countries, it was difficult to enter the market due to the trade protection.
"Mr. Kojima, I really envy you. In another half a month, you can go to Kyushu Island to play at public expense."
The female high school students riding bicycles were a beautiful scenery, but the group of male high school students was very eyesore. Looking at them for one more time made the eyes hurt.
"I went there for a kendo competition, not for fun." Kojima pedaled the bicycle and said in a helpless tone.
"I heard that the whole team flew to Fukuoka from Kanagawa all the way to Kyushu. I never knew that our school was so rich. Do you think that if we won the championship in the competition, we would be directly admitted to the university?"
"It should help in the admission, but it's not as simple as you said. There are so many powerful universities in the Tokyo area. Think about Mizuno in Arakawa District in the north of Tokyo, it is very dominant in the Jade Dragon Competition system. There are more monsters in Kyushu Island."
The kendo student riding the bicycle sighed, "Anyway, if we can get a little good results, we can probably reduce the admission score of the county universities a little."
Although the universities in the island countries were concentrated in Tokyo, the universities in the various counties were also ranked well. For example, the university in Chiba County was often ranked in the top ten in the country.
Kanagawa Prefectural University was at the same level as Gunma Prefectural University, but after graduation, students could also find a job in the prefecture to support their families.
The Island nation's high school students filled in the application form was called the entry path. Although it was just a formality, because the real college entrance exam was to go to the university by oneself. The entry path could be to apply for college, be a housewife, or be directly employed.
In terms of changing the future direction of life, the age of 18 was indeed standing at the crossroads of the marathon of life. Only when you really stood in front of the crossroads, you would suddenly realize how many detours you had taken before.
"If I had known this earlier, I would have learned kendo with you in junior high school, and I could have continued to join the club to practice in high school. It was such a good opportunity."
"Why didn't you force me to learn kendo? With my strong body, I would definitely be the trump card of the kendo department."
"Hmm."
The student who was going to participate in the Jade Dragon Competition rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.
"It's not that I didn't persuade you to join, but when did I see you join? I can't tie you up with a rope to join the competition. In the end, you won't be free, and you will complain about the people around you."
"Boom!!"
Just as they were talking, there was a sudden explosion in the distance.
Under the sunset, there seemed to be smoke and dust rising. It was spectacular and conveyed the horror of the explosion at the same time.
"Ding dong."
The violent explosion scared everyone to the ground, especially when they were riding uncontrollably. The bike was on top of them, and they were on top of each other.
A few seconds later, the students looked at the direction of the explosion in shock.
"That's the US military base, right?"
"Yes, it seems so."
The US military base was a restricted area for the residents of Yokosuka. Everyone grew up hearing about the mysteries and horrors of the base. The adults at home had warned their children not to go near this place, especially girls. It was like a forbidden place in the XX continent in fantasy novels.
"Ya Bai …" A rare Island nation student who watched military news every day struggled to stand up from the ground. "The military base was attacked?
Is it going to start a world war? That's it, right? That's not a trajectory cloud in the sky just now, it's a missile. "
"It's the America army's car!"
Just five minutes after the explosion, Yokosuka declared a state of emergency control. US armored vehicles and soldiers surrounded the base.
To Yokosuka, the notice of a state of emergency control was unfamiliar. Not only the ordinary citizens, but even the staff of the penitentiary were caught off guard and stunned on the spot.
Although there had always been relevant takeover regulations, in reality, no one had really experienced the experience of being forcibly taken over.
Under the long-term 'peace propaganda,' although the US military base was stuck on the map of the Island nation like psoriasis, its essence was gradually weakened by the propaganda. The officials of the penitentiary seemed to think that there was no problem with a military base next to it. Anyway, the unlucky ones were the ordinary citizens living in the local area.
Some officials who were still confused had problems during the handover and explained to the US military that they needed to ask their superiors.
However, the soldiers transferred from America's homeland and the battlefield did not fall for this. The horror of the base being attacked had knocked their heads out. Who were these guys from the lower country?
"I'm really sorry, I have to ask my superiors about this …"
“U ru shut up！”
A group of soldiers pointed their guns at the civil servants and forcibly drove them out. If they did not obey, they would immediately deal with them like America.
When the penitentiary, which was usually full of open and covert attacks, encountered a disaster, the terrifying external forces would not care about those complicated relationships. Were you a member of a certain political power? Which mountain was behind you? Did you have a company that involved the employment of tens of thousands of people?
In the face of absolute violence, all the networks of social relationships were just a joke. When the layer of spider webs was torn off, the high and mighty gods were just ordinary people who knew how to eat, drink, defecate, and die.
In front of the penitentiary building, some civil servants were driven to the front door. They looked at each other, and the shock in their eyes had not dissipated even now.
"You guys were driven out too?"
"What's going on?"
"It's a call from the Kanagawa Prefectural Office. They said … to do their best to cooperate with America and listen to her commands."
Putting down the phone, they looked at the building behind them and the America soldiers shuttling around them. In a trance, they felt a little unreal. The ground under their feet seemed to be just soft, illusory clouds.
