Chapter 756: Chapter 319: Make a Sound in the East, Attack in the West_3 Chapter 756: Chapter 319: Make a Sound in the East, Attack in the West_3 Just as Japan was trying to handle the military threat from Russia's Navy, its neighbor, South Korea, suddenly exerted force. South Korean Naval Warships were dispatched to patrol the waters west of Japan with the aim of clearing the nearby seas of pirates.

South Korea and Japan are historical enemies, with South Korea suffering from Japanese oppression without the power to retaliate. Now, having noticed the annihilation of the Japanese Navy, they seized the opportunity to loot a burning house, threatening Japan's security with warships for the first time in hundreds of years. As for the pretext of clearing pirates, it was a sheer mockery of Japan.

Both South Korea and Japan are under the military control of the United States, belonging to the same camp. However, in reality, they could hardly stand each other, especially given their disputes over islands and many historical issues. So, upon discovering Japan's most difficult plight, South Korea immediately emulated the Russian Navy and began patrolling the waters near Japan, threatening Japan's international trade routes.

As for China, Japan's biggest adversary, they naturally wouldn't miss this chance to kick an opponent when they're down. They deployed a large number of warships, constantly entering and exiting Japan's main waterways, inspecting commercial vessels coming and going from Japan under the pretext of suspecting them of carrying nuclear materials for making nuclear weapons, arrogantly conducting checks at will.

And China's aircraft carrier set sail as well, approaching Japanese territorial waters, with carrier-based aircraft even nearing the Japanese coastline. The sharp edge of China's Navy made Japan tremble, and it was then that they realized their neighbors might indeed have grown powerful; China's Navy could possibly blockade all of Japan's maritime transportation capabilities.

The most laughable part was that Cao County, South Korea's impoverished northern relative, also sent their outdated warships to patrol near Japan, occasionally intruding within 12 nautical miles, provoking the Japanese Government's nerves.

From the perspective of the Japanese Domestic citizens, they found that in just a moment, Japan had fallen into an extremely perilous situation.

Politically, Japan faced unanimous condemnation from the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and other countries, under great political pressure. Militarily, they faced powerful threats from the navies of the four surrounding countries.

In that moment, the Japanese citizens realized that Japan was utterly alone, with no country or force in the world willing to support Japan through this difficulty. A sense of the same isolation their nation experienced as an enemy of the world during World War II returned to their hearts.

Facing the most difficult situation for Japan, the Prime Minister, who had been hesitant, finally made up his mind. After arranging Domestic affairs, he rushed to Washington to meet the President of the United States to begin talks on Japan turning completely toward the United States for protection of its security.

As soon as the two national leaders met, they entered a room for a private discussion. All the Journalists left outside focused on the meeting between the two leaders, eager to receive accurate Intelligence about the meeting as soon as possible. However, this meeting was unusually long, lasting over eight hours and by the time it concluded, it was already past midnight.

The Japanese Prime Minister who appeared before the Journalists seemed to have aged twenty years, looking haggard and crestfallen. Conversely, the President of the United States, already in his seventies, seemed to have grown twenty years younger, looking radiant and full of vitality.

During the joint News Conference held by the two national leaders, the Japanese Prime Minister finally refuted the accusations from the International Community against Japan: Japan did not produce Nuclear Weapons nor did it possess any. Therefore, what they had launched were not Nuclear Weapons but ordinary Ballistic missiles. Moreover, they were not using these missiles to attack Dream Island, but were instead conducting routine Missile Tests.

Hearing the Japanese Prime Minister deny all charges in person, the attending Journalists were in an uproar.

Then the President of the United States began to speak, endorsing the Japanese Prime Minister's statements, expressing belief that Japan was a trustworthy ally that would neither create Nuclear Weapons nor attack Dream Island. The President of the United States then stated that he would personally go to the United Nations to defend Japan and persuade other nations not to sanction Japan over this misunderstanding.

After short statements by the two national leaders, the News Conference was declared over. All the attending Journalists were dumbfounded, not expecting such a dramatic reversal of events. But these seasoned Journalists combined the differing expressions of the leaders of the US and Japan post-negotiation to deduce that Japan must have struck some agreement with the US to help weather this crisis with American support.

Indeed, not long after, the Journalists received notifications from above, and the next day's Western mainstream media coverage revealed a remarkable reversal in the story. Japan did not have and had not launched Nuclear Weapons, followed by the self-defense of the Japanese Prime Minister and the endorsement from the President of the United States.

With the US leading the way, America's Western allies began to rally, unanimously supporting Japan. Overnight, the narrative shifted, and Japan went from being a criminal stealthily developing Nuclear Weapons to a victim troubled by Fake News. This astonishing turn exemplified the considerable Discourse Power held by the West and left Eastern nations, led by a China aggrieved by Japanese aggression, utterly dumbfounded.
