CHAPTER 936: CHAPTER 909:

Ye Chen still kept the team unchanged and did not disperse their original formation. With the team leader as the center and soldiers as support, such an army is the best. Ye Chen deeply understood this point. Feng Zhixiao, Li Tieniu, and the other six Hidden Generals each led a team, including Yao Yue, Ye Chen, and Yao Yue in one team. The more than a thousand people from the Golden Triangle now only have over nine hundred left, with casualties over a hundred. Compared to Japan, this loss is almost negligible.

"Now listen to my orders..." Ye Chen glanced at everyone and immediately began a game of chess on this enormous Tokyo board with Yoda. After hearing Ye Chen’s analysis, everyone nodded in agreement; it was a consensus on Ye Chen’s orders without any objections. Only Li Tieniu expressed wanting to follow Ye Chen’s team.

Ye Chen used the team of Feng Zhixiao and others as bait to lure the Japanese army into a trap. Once they engage fully with these six teams, Ye Chen will seize the opportunity and strike, advancing directly into Tokyo’s heart, the Chiyoda District.

"Once we take the Imperial Palace, I believe they’ll disregard you and quickly head toward the Imperial Palace!" Ye Chen sneered coldly and said, "By then, you’ll be like untamed horses. I want you to kill the Japanese at the fastest speed!"

"Brother Chen, don’t worry!" Da Hei nodded and said, "We’ll avenge sister-in-law!"

"That’s right!" Feng Zhixiao gritted his teeth and said, "Avenge sister-in-law!"

Everyone gathered together, brandishing their guns. Ye Chen didn’t pause or delay and swiftly left the Central District, leading Yao Yue’s team in fast action. Feng Zhixiao and others also wasted no time.

Soon, a large-scale battle broke out in Tokyo. For the Heavenly Reversal Gang, this was a very troublesome thing, like guerrilla tactics against regular troops. Initially, Japan only intended to guard a few key points, ensuring Chiyoda District’s safety, and then slowly eliminating chaos elsewhere. If Feng Zhixiao and others wanted to fight a siege battle with the Japanese army, that would be wishful thinking.

However, unexpectedly for Yoda, this group of troublemakers voluntarily rushed to the gunfire of his troops.

"Lord Yoda, the troops stationed at several locations like the Tokyo Subway and Matsuya Department Store have encountered attacks by bandits!" Miyazaki Yama reported through a phone link to Yoda. Yoda was momentarily stunned and then rejoiced, saying, "Haha, these fools, they must be trying to advance towards the Chiyoda District. Since they want to fight, let them have their fill. Dispatch the Eighth Corps from outside the city to support!"

"Yes!" Miyazaki Yama immediately nodded.

The battle had silently begun, and at this time Feng Zhixiao finally felt the weakness of his forces. In the confrontation with Japanese soldiers, they experienced the stark contrast in weapons and soldier quality. Several rounds later, the little brothers were beaten to the point of flipping over, retreating rapidly one by one.

Although the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s forces were lacking in strength, they still attracted a significant portion of Japanese soldiers, including the guard team of the Imperial Palace and the Eighth Corps outside the city. Ye Chen, Yao Yue, and their over a thousand followers slowly advanced along another route towards the Chiyoda District. The pace was slow, and most importantly, this team’s advance did not attract Japan’s notice.

Several buses traversed through the chaotic streets, carrying more than a thousand people inside. Outside, bandits roamed about, taking advantage of the situation for looting and robbery. Many bandits, faces covered with masks, leapt out of others’ houses wielding daggers, with large bags of stolen goods on their backs.

"Ye Chen, this time you’ve really troubled Yoda!" Yao Yue laughed broadly beside him.

"This is just the beginning!" Ye Chen’s hair was somewhat gray, his eyes still showing traces of bloody tears, which pained Yao Yue. She tried not to touch Ye Chen’s inner wound but encouraged him, "Don’t worry, Yoda will definitely regret the foolish mistakes he’s made!"

"Leader, a ten-man team is approaching us!" A soldier urgently reported from the advanced scout team. Before deploying troops, Yao Yue liked to send a few scouts ahead to explore, allowing any anomalies to be discovered and troop adjustments made promptly.

"Ten people? Haha, destroy them!" Yao Yue smiled calmly.

When facing several hundred elite soldiers on a bus, the ten-man team was shot dead before they could send a distress signal. Such gunfire would have usually garnered significant attention; however, now Tokyo was already chaotic, with gunfire everywhere, and no one cared. All the police had been mobilized for patrolling.

At the Tokyo Subway Station, Feng Zhixiao, with a group, was engaged in a siege battle. The opponent’s firepower was exceptionally fierce, making his men unable to lift their heads. Fortunately, the brothers were very resilient. Feng Zhixiao gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, shoot! Damn it, tonight Brother Chen will have us drink at the Japanese Imperial Palace!"

"Roar, roar..." The brothers immediately started to roar furiously.

Not only was Feng Zhixiao having a hard time fighting here, but Da Hei, Xiao Bai, Da Xia, and the others were also struggling. Whether in terms of equipment sophistication or the training quality of the little brothers, there was no doubt they were inferior to the adversaries. But fortunately, their goal was just to delay the opponents, not to actually conquer this place. Feng Zhixiao and the others gritted their teeth and held on. They strived to support, buying time for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen and his team went unnoticed until they reached the Bamboo Bridge of the Imperial Palace Outer Garden. When they were discovered, both Yoda and Miyazaki Yama couldn’t help but take several sharp breaths, their faces turning pale. Yoda exclaimed in shock, "God, Ye Chen... how could Ye Chen appear at the Imperial Palace Outer Garden? It’s still a few kilometers away from the Imperial Palace!"

"Lord Prime Minister, it’s less than ten kilometers now!" Miyazaki Yama said in a panic.

"Quick, quickly have the Royal Family’s guard team intercept them!" Yoda hurriedly said.

"But... but the guard team has been dispatched to the Central District to quell the riots!" Miyazaki Yama hastily responded.

"Oh, shit!" Yoda panicked immediately, damn it, what kind of orders had he given, to actually withdraw the troops guarding the Imperial Palace. Yoda shouted, "Then let those gate security guards go up and stop them for me!"

"Security guards?! Can they handle it?" Miyazaki Yama was speechless.

Facing such a tense situation, Yoda was in a panic. If Ye Chen gained control of the Imperial Palace, not to mention his position as Prime Minister, even the entire Great Japanese Empire would be finished. Yoda was already scared out of his wits, continuously pacing back and forth in the office, beneath him were the Cabinet Ministers. Congress was still unaware of these events, and once they found out, the cabinet organized by Yoda would likely be driven out of power.

"Lord Prime Minister, I think it’s better to notify Congress about this matter!" the Minister of Finance suggested.

"No, if we notify Congress, then we’ll be in trouble!" Yoda decisively shook his head, and the ministers all said, "Now the Imperial Palace is in such great danger, I think we should let the Royal Family evacuate immediately!"

"But, the Emperor is currently with the Princess and others in the Imperial Palace Outer Garden admiring the flowers and grass!" Yoda sighed helplessly. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to notify, but the Emperor had always been proud, and when he was focused on doing something, he would cut off all contact with the outside world. It was simply impossible to get in touch with him at times like this.

"Oh, damn it!" the ministers cursed one after another.

Of course, Yoda wasn’t indifferent, but rather started thinking of ways to make amends. He immediately ordered all stationed troops to support towards the Imperial Palace, ensuring they arrived within half an hour. Soon, all stationed troops were withdrawn, and all checkpoints were disbanded, even the Eighth Joint Army, which was rushing on its way, changed its route and headed towards the Imperial Palace. Tens of thousands of troops were marching grandiosely towards the Imperial Palace.

Ye Chen led the team towards the inside of the Imperial Palace, arriving at Bamboo Bridge. Over a dozen guards were stationed there, but these people were no match for Ye Chen and the others. These guards saw several buses approaching and immediately raised their guns to stop them: "Bastards, this is a royal restricted area, you can’t enter at will!"

The response they got was a torrent of bullets, instantly turning the dozen or so guys into sieves. They lay in pools of blood. Yao Yue revealed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "It’s the first time I’ve realized that killing is such a joyous thing."

The group marched grandiosely into the Imperial Palace Outer Garden. The Imperial Palace Outer Garden, commonly known as the Royal Square, is located between the Marunouchi High-rise Building Street and the Imperial Palace, surrounded by Triumph Moat, Hibiya Moat, Ma Changxian, Otemon Moat, and the Huangchi in front of the Double Bridge. The Imperial Palace Outer Garden is paved with fine gravel and planted with pine trees. The broad square is filled with green grass and trees, making it one of the few green spaces in Japan’s cities.

In the center of the square, there is a large fountain built to commemorate the marriage of the Crown Prince. The Double Bridge on the south side is a must-visit for tourists. Under the Double Bridge, the moat water is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the palaces and weeping willows, making it exceptionally beautiful and recognized as the most beautiful place in the Imperial Palace. The square has a bronze statue cast in 1904 by the faculty and students of the Tokyo Art School; the statue is four meters tall, weighs over six tons, and represents the pinnacle of Japan’s casting technology at that time.

Ye Chen and his team entered the Imperial Palace Outer Garden, and it was empty inside. This is the Royal Square, where ordinary people cannot approach. In essence, this is where the Japanese Royal Family resides, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

"Everyone get off, proceed on foot immediately to the Imperial Palace!" Ye Chen shouted.
