Chapter 20: Chapter 20 – Vision of the Nation (4)

"Magic.

It is a product of neither legends nor fairy tales. Instead, it has become a technology of reality since a time unknown to people. The first verifiable record dates back to AD 1999. The incident, in which police officers possessing special powers stopped a nuclear act of terror carried out by a fanatic group in order to fulfill the prophecy of destroying humanity, became the first verifiable case of Magic in modern times. Initially, that unusual ability was termed a Supernatural Power. An ability that was present in a person due to a purely inherent, sudden mutation, whose systematization as a technology that could be spread among the masses was thought to be an impossible thing.

That was an erroneous notion. Through the research of Supernatural Power by both the influential Eastern and Western nations, the existence of people who were imparted Magic was gradually made public. It became possible to reproduce Supernatural Power through Magic. Of course, talent is required to do that.

However, only those who are blessed with a high aptitude can attain a mastery that can put them at a professional level, much like those who possess ability in the fine arts or sciences. Supernatural power became a technology systematized through Magic, while Magic became a technical skill. A Supernatural Power User became a Magic Technician. Skilled Magic Technicians, capable of suppressing even nuclear weapons, are powerful weapons to a country."

"Then I will participate too. It would be a good opportunity to create ties with future Clan Heads and strengthen the unity of the Ten Master Clans."

Stated Kiritsugu as both Retsu and Genzou nodded in agreement, as Kiritsugu could be already counted as Yotsuba.

"When will the attack on the Imperial Palace start?"

"Moment entire National Diet is razed to the ground. Your mission will be to kill every person related to Japan's Imperial Family. After you attack the palace, everywhere around the nation, similar assassinations would happen with National Defense Forces and Numbered Families in the lead. Not only, Imperial Family members, but we will target remaining politicians, opposition in the army, and some minor problems."

Said Kudou Retsu with a calm voice but with bloodthirst that cannot be hidden. What would happen would be a complete purge. Everyone that was opposing would be mercilessly killed; on blacklists they made, there were hundreds of people.

Many of them were connected to Imperial Family branches; some were high-ranking officials in the government that were anti-magic oriented or military officers that were loyal to the current government. Even though this purge could be a bit damaging to Japan in the short term, it was inevitable.

"What about the Imperial Palace and Imperial Throne? Should we leave it as it is or also destroy it? After all, it would still be a symbol of the former empire, and not talking about the fact that it may cause disputes among the Ten Master Clans as somebody would want to take the Imperial Throne for themselves and proclaim himself as the Emperor."

Remarked Kiritsugu, to which both Kudou Retsu and Yotsuba Genzou were in deep thought.

"Destroy. Even though it is a part of our history, a very important part of our history... it would cause conflicts, absolutely useless conflicts that could be easily prevented. So... let it turn into ashes. We will do the same thing with the palace in Kyoto and other several places that were formerly seats of Imperial Power or Shogunate. We need to prevent any possible internal conflicts by any means."

Said back Kudou Retsu as he agreed to the plan, and Yotsuba Genzou also nodded in agreement with this proposition. It would be much safer to destroy these mentioned places in the future.

"Then, the combined Numbered Families and National Defense Forces forces would take over Tokyo and establish a new government. We will return to the tradition of the Empire of Japan, when Imperial Will still stood strong, as the Meiji the Great once done, we will take our nation back from these incompetent cowards."

Continued Genzou with a war-like grin.

"Still. We need to act as fast as possible. Suppose we are not able to create a new functional government within the next 24 hours from the attack. In that case, we could face possible attacks not only from the Great Asian Union but also from New Soviet Union on Karafuto Prefecture and also, form the USNA."

Said Kudou Retsu. Even though USNA lost their pacific fleet to their raid, they still had some means to attack Japan using long-ranged weapons to cause them enough destruction. And in regards to the New Soviet Union, it was a bit worse, as they were stationing an army in Siberia, ready to attack the Karafuto Prefecture if there was a need for it.

Fortunately, the Karafuto prefecture was slowly turned into a fortress island, and all people of non-japan citizenship were deported from the prefecture back to the New Soviet Union. And finally, the last one on the list were the Great Asian Alliance, which was probably the most problematic of all of them.

They didn't lose almost any of their war force in recent clashes with Japan, but, fortunately, they were still stabilizing the situation in former Dahan after what Yotsubas had done there.

"Fortunately, most of the preparations are already done. In secret, we have discussed how the new government would look and even draft a new constitution for the nation."

Said Retsu as he took out some piece of paper that was the new constitution of the future Imperial Japan Hierarchy.
