Chapter 691: Chapter 298 Sun Scorcher Weapon_3 Chapter 691: Chapter 298 Sun Scorcher Weapon_3 Everyone had witnessed the terror of the Artificial Whale. With the horrifying firepower of the Artificial Whale, a single attack could probably destroy half of Tokyo Downtown. If such attacks were to happen several times, Japan might be completely destroyed. Yet, facing the uncanny attacks of the Artificial Whale, Japan had no countermeasures.

The Minister of Defense asked with hope, “Prime Minister, what does The United States of America say? Since they could destroy one Artificial Whale, naturally they can also destroy a second one. Will they be willing to take action against Dream Island and Yan Fei?”

The Prime Minister of Japan shook his head and said, “The United States only took action to destroy that Artificial Whale, but they will not send troops to directly confront Dream Island.”

The Minister of Defense said, “Can we ask the United States to carry out another energy attack, to completely flatten Dream Island? As long as Dream Island is gone, so too will the Artificial Whales cease to be, and we won't face these threats anymore, right?”

The Prime Minister of Japan said, “We have informants within the United States who had told us before that the United States had deployed energy weapons in outer space, but we were reluctant to believe it at the time. Now that they've finally used this energy weapon, showing its terrifying power, we've come to truly believe that the United States really possesses the technology to manufacture energy weapons. However, although this energy weapon is powerful, it requires a long preparation time between launches. Thus, the destruction of the Artificial Whale that they managed was their only available opportunity during this period. When they will be able to take action again is unknown.”

The Minister of Defense sighed, “Americans are really unreliable.”

The Prime Minister of Japan said, “Now that I think about it, we've been deceived by the Americans again. They possess such great strength but refuse to act against Dream Island while beguiling us into action. After the United Fleet was completely wiped out, they even left the coast off China, no longer blocking the Chinese Navy from coming to aid Dream Island. In this way, we may soon be directly facing the attack of the Chinese Navy.”

The Minister of Defense, with a frown, asked, “Prime Minister, do you have any good suggestions for this situation?”

The Prime Minister of Japan said, “Our nation is in grave danger now, a misstep could be disastrous. Therefore, I think we should deploy the Sun Scorcher Weapon and launch an attack on Dream Island. Even if we can't take control of Dream Island, we must ensure it sinks completely, eliminating Yan Fei's forces. This way, when we face the Chinese Navy in the future, we will face less pressure from one direction and avoid being caught in a pincer attack.”

Everyone knew that following this, Japan would definitely face pressure from the Chinese Navy. Initially, under the arrangement of the United States and with Japan's cooperation, the Chinese Navy was blockaded within the First Island Chain and could not accomplish anything significant. However, if the Chinese Navy gained Dream Island as a supporting point, they would break through the blockade of the First Island Chain and possess the strength to wage war across the seas. Then Japan would face threats from both east and west, caught in a disadvantageous two-front conflict.

In order to avoid being attacked from both sides in the future, the Prime Minister of Japan thought of using the Sun Scorcher Weapon to completely sink Dream Island. Without Dream Island, the Chinese Navy would lose their foothold in the Pacific Ocean and be unable to use it as a base to attack Japan from the east. Then Japan would only need to focus on defending against the Chinese Navy from the west and not face the situation of being attacked from both sides.

Even if the Japanese Navy were to be destroyed and no match for the Chinese Navy, there are still a large number of American troops stationed in Japan. If pushed into a corner by China, Japan could lower its stance and wholly ally with the United States to obtain their military support. With the comprehensive intervention of the Americans, Japan's homeland would naturally become extremely safe. Given a buffer period, the Japanese Navy might also have the opportunity to rise again.

And all this was predicated upon the non-existence of Dream Island. Otherwise, as long as Dream Island continued to exist, Americans, due to international pressure, would not dare confront Dream Island. Then Japan would face the danger of extinction. Hence, Japan thought of completely destroying Dream Island to help the United States clear the obstacles, leaving the United States with no excuse to refuse Japan's requests.

The Minister of Defense hesitated before speaking, “But the Sun Scorcher Weapon is our ultimate trump card for national survival. Once used, we will face tremendous international pressure and it would be extremely disadvantageous for our future development. Moreover, due to historical reasons, once we use the Sun Scorcher Weapon, both China and South Korea from the west will condemn us and do their utmost to prevent our country's development.”

The Prime Minister of Japan sighed, “It's a necessary evil. Although using the Sun Scorcher Weapon will lead to denunciations from the international community, it will also showcase our strength. Faced with a fait accompli, the international community wouldn't dare pressure us too much. On the contrary, due to changes in the geopolitical situation, we might encounter favorable outcomes. Once it's discovered that we have strong retaliatory capabilities, China surely wouldn't dare oppress us excessively, and even the United States might change its stance towards us. We are not without opportunities.”

The Minister of Defense said, “But to destroy Dream Island, we need at least three Sun Scorcher Weapons. However, we've only manufactured three, and once they're used up, what will we use to threaten others with?”

The Prime Minister of Japan said, “If we don't say, who will know how many Sun Scorcher Weapons we have?”

The Minister of Defense hesitated before saying, “I agree with the Prime Minister's plan.”

The Prime Minister of Japan looked around at the silent staff members and said, “Gentlemen, Japan is now at its most perilous point. If you have better plans, please speak up. If not, then we will proceed with the Sun Scorcher Weapon Plan.”

The staff members exchanged looks, their eyes filled with helplessness. With the onset of the Sun Scorcher Weapon, the history of Japan is bound to change, likely for the worse. Everyone considered many factors at this moment, but no matter how hard they thought, they couldn't come up with a better solution. Now that the Prime Minister had made a decision, they naturally wouldn't voice any opposition.

The Prime Minister of Japan looked around and then announced, “In that case, I declare that the Sun Scorcher Weapon Plan is officially activated.”
