Chapter 320: The Rampaging Crocodile!
[Clatter clatter clatter.]
The rapid typing of keyboards was the main melody in this Hall, and the sounds of Communication between communicators and Investigators, making the already lively atmosphere even more noisy.
Personnel with serious Expressions carefully recorded the important information on the screen wall, then took it back to their respective Departments for discussion and Evaluation.
It must be said that the existence of the Demon Slayer World was causing the World Government's Experience in Other World Conquest to rise sharply.
Although there was a bit of Chaos now, everyone was quickly adapting to this work Pace during the continuous adjustment process.
"Chairmen," based on preliminary calculations, getting 200,000 Army through the Star Gate will theoretically take at least thirty-four days." An Official in a Suit stood in the Meeting Room and gave his Report.
"How did you calculate that?" Chairman Fernandez asked in a calm, deep voice. The Official quickly presented the various Data he had calculated.
"It is known that to pass through Homeland's RL1557 Biochemical Safety Station and the Other World's Biochemical Safety Station on the other side of the Star Gate, a total of four Disinfection Rooms must be passed through, with each Disinfection Room taking one minute for disinfection."
"Adding the sequential opening and closing Time for all Electric Gates, it takes about one minute in total, so these five minutes are fixed."
"The key is the Star Gate. Because the Star Gate's Width is only two meters, a maximum of three Soldiers can enter simultaneously at one Time. The average Time for each group of Soldiers to pass through the Star Gate is five seconds, meaning thirty-six people can enter the Other World in six minutes, three hundred and sixty people in one hour, and eight thousand six hundred and forty people in twenty-four hours."
"However, theoretical Data is just that—theoretical Data after all. It is estimated that the actual required Time is around forty days. If we also include the input of Ammunition supplies, it will take at least two months!"
After his explanation, Lieutenant General Kong Ming and the others present understood that there were only a little over two months left until a full-scale War with the Other World.
This Time seemed quite long, but when considering that this was preparation for a War between two Worlds, one could realize it was actually very short.
"Understood. You may go back now."
"Yes!"
After the Official left, Chairman Fernandez looked at Vice Chairman Burwo Gabriel, who was in charge of Administration Management, and asked, "Before these 200,000 Army successfully pass through, can we ensure they aren't discovered by the Japanese Government?"
"Before, there was definitely no problem. That Aokigahara Forest was enough to accommodate and hide them. But now, because of that Bastard Crocodile's reckless actions, the Japanese Government's attention has surely been drawn to the Mount Fuji area. After all, the super Sandstorm they're talking about came from here. As a result, the risk of being discovered has also increased..." Vice Chairman Burwo Gabriel said with a displeased Expression.
"In other words, the Japanese Government's people might explore the Aokigahara Forest recently to find the source of the Sandstorm. That is indeed quite troublesome." Vice Chairman Marlon Wilfred, who was in charge of finance, frowned slightly with worry. Once the Japanese Government discovered a large number of Armed Forces hidden in the forest, their Reaction was predictable.
Vice Chairman Kong Ming, the former Vice Admiral of Marine Headquarters and current Vice Minister of the Staff Department, chuckled lightly while holding his Feather Fan.
"Hehe, it's actually not that serious. Even if they send Investigators, they will only be checking the Climate. The possibility of them going deep into the forest is very low. Moreover, according to Intelligence, Japan only has Desert in Tottori Prefecture, so the focus of their Exploration should be there."
"Ah, in the end, the Star Gate is still too small. It would be great if it could be wider and taller!" Chairman Fernandez sighed.
Regarding this, the Vice Chairman present remained silent, because no one knew how this Star Gate came to be. To avoid taboo, they never investigated the inside story, only utilizing it based on what was available.
"Never mind, two months it is. After two months, we'll take over Japan first, then declare War on the Whole World!"
At the same Time.
In the Demon Slayer World, within the Japanese Cabinet Office, the Minister of State, led by Prime Minister Kato, gathered together.
Recently, the Destruction and casualties caused by the sudden Sandstorm gave them terrible headaches. Fortunately, due to frequent Earthquake and Tsunami over the years, they had some Experience in Disaster Relief.
"The super Sandstorm has already reached Fujino City in Kanagawa Prefecture and is about to enter Hachioji City. It won't be long before Tokyo is also covered by yellow Sand. What is the Japan Meteorological Agency's Opinion?" Prime Minister Kato's stern Gaze was directed at Minister Ishizaki of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, as the Japan Meteorological Agency was under their responsibility.
"Before coming here, I already heard Director Nitani's latest Report. Their statement is that it's impossible for a Sandstorm to come from the Mount Fuji direction, and given our Country's Climate Environment, even if there were sandy Climate, a super-Rank Sandstorm like this couldn't possibly occur..." Minister Ishizaki could only say this with a forced smile out of helplessness.
When he heard these words before, he also cursed out that Director of the Japan Meteorological Agency, saying things like 'this is impossible, that is impossible.' The Sandstorm was right before their eyes, what was impossible about it?
"So?" As expected, Anger appeared on Prime Minister Kato's face, and the Minister from various provinces around him also stared at him with unfriendly Expressions.
"Therefore, their Opinion is to quickly prepare for Sand and Wind protection, and then issue a Warning to the entire Tokyo Area as soon as possible, reminding the Citizens to bring things from outside back into their houses..." Minister Ishizaki felt greatly wronged in his Heart. Leaving aside how this super Sandstorm came about, but since it had already arrived, what else could be done besides this?
This was a Natural Disaster!
The office was silent. Everyone knew that this was all they could do.
"Send people to investigate along the Sandstorm's path to see where the source is. For the rest, proceed according to the Japan Meteorological Agency's Opinion. This Old Man will go Report to Lord Emperor." Prime Minister Kato felt it was necessary to figure out the origin of this Sandstorm, otherwise, what would they do if it happened again in the future?
It's just that how could these High Official know the specific Situation among the populace? Due to the level of Technology in this Era, there was simply no Equipment capable of Live Broadcast of the scene, so they couldn't see how miserable the places the Sandstorm passed through were.
Smaller Village were basically buried by yellow Sand. In larger towns, except for the large Building that were still standing, the remaining houses were scattered by the Sandstorm. As for the people or Animals inside, God knows where they were blown away to, but given the Physique of the people in this World, the chance of survival is too low.
Of course, this had a lot to do with everything being Wooden House and Wooden Building.
In large City like Otsuki City and Uenohara City, the resulting casualties were even greater, as these places had very dense Population.
Moreover, there were more houses and all sorts of messy things, especially those small Car. The Destruction caused when these were swept up by the Strong Wind was no less than that of Bullet or Cannonball.
At this Time, although the Sandstorm had passed, the entire City was completely dilapidated. The streets were filled with Corpse that were fortunately not blown away.
As for how many Japanese people died and how much Economic loss in Value was caused by Crocodile's journey this Time, that was unclear.
He only knew that he seemed to be getting close to his destination.
"Hahaha hahaha" Hearty and mocking wild laughter, Accompanied By the howling Sandstorm in another ravaged City below, Fujino City, echoed like the wailing of Demons and gods.
This caused the Survivor hiding Underground or in concrete Building, trembling with Fear, to wonder if they were experiencing auditory hallucinations due to excessive Fear.
They trembled like mice.
