Lin Zhan said to the gathered brothers, "Tonight, let's all forget about taking flight. The patrol is coming to check the backyard, so how about we go out for a stroll and find some business to do?"
Upon hearing Lin Zhan's words, everyone's eyes lit up. After all, their primary purpose was to make money, gather resources, and raid strongholds. No one wanted to pretend to be cordial with these little Japanese. Who would want to spend their time flirting with them?
If anyone could hear the thoughts of the Chinese people, they would surely scoff and spit, "Bah, a bunch of ruffians pretending to be chaste! If you want to act decent, at least wipe off the lipstick stains from your faces first."
Er Zhuang raised his hand and asked, "Boss, can we dance first and then work?"
He Da Zhuang, Meng Gang, and Zhang Hao Qing nearby immediately covered Wang Er Zhuang's mouth and pinned him down.
He Da Zhuang whispered in his ear, "If you dare to object, these guys will tear you apart. And don't you want to marry Yang Ting Ting?"
After hearing his elder brother's words, Wang Er Zhuang immediately said, "Boss, whatever you say, we'll do it. We'll just go for it."
Lin Zhan looked at the energetic fellow in front of him and said sternly, "Don't you feel like you're leaking? Zip up your pants first."
He then addressed everyone, "Da Zhuang, you arrange things with your sister-in-law first. We'll be soaking in hot springs tomorrow. Everyone else, return to your rooms and get ready. We'll assemble in 20 minutes. Old Xiao, bring some more experts over. No one below Diamond level."
With that, he led his brothers away from the dance.
Yamamoto Mieko and the other woman watched their retreating backs and asked He Da Zhuang, "Da Zhuang, why are they leaving so suddenly? And earlier, Brother Lin said he wanted to move against the royal family. What should we do?"
He Da Zhuang said nonchalantly, "Let him move against them. What's the big deal? Besides, do you think your Japanese lords don't know we're here? And more importantly, the royal families or leaders of the major special zones have all been dealt with by Brother Lin to some extent. It's your turn now, Japan. Don't worry, for your sake, Brother Lin won't kill too many people."
After hearing He Da Zhuang's words, the two women felt their blood pressure rising. After all, what kind of twisted logic was this? "It's Japan's turn now"? It sounded like they weren't even being treated as people.
Zhen Nai Xue Nai said anxiously, "But if a conflict truly erupts, you'll be at a disadvantage with just these people."
"Disadvantage? Didn't you see Brother Lin ask Old Xiao to bring people over? Besides, I'm not looking down on your royal family, but would they dare to fight us to the death?" He Da Zhuang said with disdain.
Yamamoto Mieko asked feignedly, "Where is Young Master Xiao bringing people from? It's too late to return to China now."
He Da Zhuang sneered inwardly, "So, they've taken the bait. Let's add some more fuel to the fire. You silly woman, why would we go back to China? Old Xia is the young master of Lou Wai Lou, the number one assassin organization in the human race. Do you know how many high-level assassins are in your Tokyo?"
"I'm leaving too. I'll come back tomorrow to properly reminisce. Oh, and don't forget about the hot springs tomorrow. Dress up nicely," He Da Zhuang said lecherously to Yamamoto Mieko.
After He Da Zhuang left, the two women exchanged a silent glance. Zhen Nai Xue Nai said, "I'll report back to headquarters. You immediately contact the royal family. Don't frown. Everything will be as Lord Musashi commands."
Lin Zhan brought everyone to his room and then said to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, implement a lockdown."
Lin Yi nodded, and all the Lin family's loyalists occupied the key positions on three floors, ensuring that Lin Zhan's conversation would not be eavesdropped on.
Lin Zhan looked at everyone and asked, "Old Xiao, how is your investigation going?"
Xiao Han Yi took out a map of Tokyo and a map of Japan and said, "The Imperial Palace, Yasukuni Shrine, Apple Mountain, and the Grand Temple. Based on Lou Wai Lou's years of investigation, there must be a spatial teleportation gate at Apple Mountain. The headquarters of the Ten Thousand Races Church is definitely there. We also discovered that all high-ranking officials in Japan are members of the Ten Thousand Races Church, and Miyamoto Musashi is likely the leader of the Ten Thousand Races Church."
"Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Races Church should have 4 to 5 Lord-level experts. However, the most dangerous individuals are the Lords of the Ten Thousand Races, potential Kings, and even Kings hidden within Apple Mountain."
"Also, Oda Nobunaga, the Sixth Heavenly Devil King, is currently being promoted to King. We must pay close attention to this." Xiao Han Yi analyzed the information Lou Wai Lou had gathered about Japan over the years.
After hearing Xiao Han Yi's report, Lin Zhan pondered for a moment and then turned to Jiang Zheng, "Old Jiang, what are your thoughts on the operational plan?"
Jiang Zheng looked at the map and said, "According to the operational plan formulated by the military, elite units, namely the Zhang family's Water Ghost unit, will first clear out all outposts and sentry posts along the way."
"Then, we will split into two routes. The He family will attack Osaka from their stronghold, while Marshal Zhang Zhen and General Lin will lead all elite forces to sweep through Tokyo. Our mission is to create as much chaos as possible."
Lin Zhan asked Xiao Han Yi, "Old Xiao, how many experts does Lou Wai Lou have here?"
Xiao Han Yi replied, "My master, Xiao Wu Hen, has been lurking in Japan for many years. Additionally, there are 4 Lords and 50 Diamond-level experts, and 300 Platinum-level experts. Half of Lou Wai Lou's elites are in Japan."
Lin Zhan joked, "It seems the Ten Lords of China are just a gimmick. How many hidden experts do these families have? Senior Xiao must also be like Director Ye Fan, a potential King hidden among the Lords."
"Old He, Er Zhuang, Old Zhang, how many people do your three families have?" Lin Zhan then asked Zhang Cong and the other two.
"Out of our three families, only Old Zhang's family has a Lord stationed here. The other two families do not," He Da Zhuang replied after thinking.
Lin Zhan weighed the available forces in his hands and realized that apart from the trump card of the Black Dragon King, his plan to "take flight" in Japan would only result in one outcome: certain death.
Rubbing his temples, Lin Zhan said to Jiang Zheng, "Old Jiang, relay a message to the military to amend the operational plan. First, based on the original plan, form elite special operations teams to engage the Ten Thousand Races forces immediately. The Zhang family will select personnel to guide the special operations teams towards Apple Mountain."
"Second, Lin Hai, Lin Shan, and Zhang Qing Ze, the three potential Kings, must arrive in Tokyo for support by the evening of the day after tomorrow at the latest. Additionally, we request the support of our Chinese King Ancestors."
"Third, upon the arrival of the main army, Seniors Ying Bu Zheng and Leng Ao will lead the experts to destroy the Grand Temple and eliminate all the hundred ghosts."
"Fourth, Lou Wai Lou will gather all its strength and await the arrival of the King Ancestors to first annihilate all active forces at Yasukuni Shrine, leaving no survivors. I suspect Oda Nobunaga is undergoing his promotion at Yasukuni Shrine."
"Fifth, the personnel of the He and Wang families will be responsible for receiving and guiding the various experts."
Lin Zhan said sternly to everyone, "This war is a war for our human race, a war for our nation. I implore all of you to give your all, fight bravely, and uphold the glory of China."
