Chapter 900: The shit stirrer

Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Liu Xing sighed, already guessing Mutou Masayoshi's movements.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mutou Masayoshi should have been arranged by the United States of America to go to Hokkaido, and there is a high chance that he will be elected as the leader of that organization.

If this is true, then this matter will be troublesome.

At this time, Yin En and others saw Liu Xing suddenly running back, and they were also curious and came to join the fun.

Liu Xing did not keep them in suspense and shared his thoughts.

"I see, at that time I felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but I didn't think of Mutou Masayoshi, so I didn't think of this." Yin En frowned and said, "But speaking of it, this is also a consistent operation of the United States of America - using those so-called civil organizations as white gloves, publishing various unreasonable and absurd statements in the areas they want to mess with, supporting and buying local collaborators, and finally making a big fuss."

"But I really didn't expect the United States of America to do this to the Island Nation now. It seems that the United States of America still has ulterior motives. Although they can't continue to control the Island Nation with stationed troops, they are thinking of disgusting the Island Nation in Hokkaido." Zhang Wenbing said with some emotion.

At this time, Alice shook her head and said seriously, "I think the purpose of the United States of America is not just to disgust the Island Nation. They really want to control Hokkaido because you all know the current relationship between England and the United States of America. So my master used to talk to me a lot about the United States of America, and also helped me obtain some special identities in the United States of America, such as special intelligence officers, liaisons, etc., including those so-called civil organizations."

"Of course, I used to use these civil organizations to collect intelligence for me, prepare safe houses in various places in the Island Nation to ensure that I could escape quickly after being discovered by the Deep Sea Gospel Society. But I also got to know many leaders of civil organizations, and those guys, because of my high level, were very open with me, so I also collected a lot of information about their actions."

"Simply put, these civil organizations had already started preparing these backhands at that time because it had been decades, and the United States of America began to realize that they couldn't station troops in the Island Nation for too long. The reputation of the stationed troops was getting worse, and the Island Nation also started to have big families connecting and preparing to drive away the stationed troops of the United States of America, or only allowing the United States of America to keep a so-called presence of stationed troops in the Island Nation. So the United States of America arranged for people like Mutou Masayoshi to be inserted into the Island Nation."

"In addition, places like Hokkaido and Ryukyu are areas that the Island Nation only began to actually control in the past hundred years. Plus, the Island Nation took some extreme measures to control these areas back then, which led to the Island Nation completing nominal rule over these areas. Although it seems calm now, there are still undercurrents. So the civil organizations arranged by the United States of America established offices there and recruited many willing people to serve them."

"The most important thing is that these willing people are spread across various levels of the local area. So I can be sure that this Hokkaido chaos is definitely the United States of America taking the opportunity to cause trouble. But the most important thing is that they are very well prepared this time and chose a very favorable time for them - the Public-Military Conflict. Because the Public-Military Conflict has caused the Island Nation to be in a state of no management, the local authorities can't control the situation at all, and there are quite a few internal ghosts in the local authorities."

Alice took a deep breath and gave her conclusion, "If nothing unexpected happens, or if the Public-Military Conflict doesn't end now, then the Hokkaido area might really establish a so-called Ezo Country. Even if the Public Faction and Warrior Faction cooperate to send people to Hokkaido to deal with it, because the current Public Faction and Warrior Faction are not legitimate."

"And the Public Faction and Warrior Faction can't cooperate, or both sides will be too busy to take care of themselves because there are already problems in Ryukyu." Sawada Yinyin said while holding a mobile phone, "It seems that the United States of America is planning to attack on both fronts."

As Chinese people, Liu Xing and others were happy to see this situation; but as players, Liu Xing and others were troubled by it.

Obviously, this is an appetizer arranged by the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall for the Public-Military Conflict - the Ryukyu and Hokkaido areas in the south and north will each hold the attention of the Warrior Faction and Public Faction, and at the same time, the third-party force in a supporting role, the United States of America, will be strengthened, so they won't be completely passive in the Island Nation. At least now they have a chance to take the initiative.

"GTM's United States of America, even now they haven't forgotten their duty as shit stirrers, they are really dedicated." Ding Kun couldn't help but curse.

Although the current situation in Hokkaido and Ryukyu is not enough to seriously injure the Public Faction and Warrior Faction, Liu Xing and others know that this will inevitably consume a lot of their energy, and if not handled well...

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

As a local of the Island Nation, Sawada Yinyin sighed again and said, "If this continues, I'm afraid that before the Public-Military Conflict ends, the Island Nation will return to the Warring States period."

Juri Sonoda nodded and said with a bitter smile, "I once heard a teacher in university say that the Island Nation is actually a feudal country with a capitalist exterior because the family clans of the Island Nation have never been ended. Those family clans still control their respective territories, hiding behind the scenes and arranging for their representatives to come forward and do things. So if the situation in Ryukyu and Hokkaido is not controlled, then the family clans in other remote areas will be tempted."

Hearing Juri Sonoda say this, Liu Xing suddenly thought of Shima Takeshi.

If Shima Takeshi really has ideas about the position of the head of the Shimazu Family, then he can take advantage of this opportunity to rise, becoming the head of the Shimazu Family while controlling the southern part of Kyushu Island, which is the traditional power base of the Shimazu Family.

In this way, Shima Takeshi's position as the head of the family will become more stable because he has restored the former glory of the Shimazu Family!

However, given Shima Takeshi's background, he shouldn't have such great ambition, right?

Just then, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Then, Shima Mitsuhiro rushed in without even knocking.

"Hirodo brother, what's wrong? Did the matter in Tokushima City get exposed?" Yin En asked subconsciously.

Shima Mitsuhiro shook his head and said while panting, "The problem in Tokushima City has been resolved. Unless Oda Eiji and the others can come back to life, the Oda Family has no reason to trouble us. Besides, Oda Eiji's ashes have already been scattered into the Pacific Ocean by my men."

Liu Xing felt that Shima Mitsuhiro seemed to have set up a terrible flag.

Then, Liu Xing found that he had just taken back the flag he had set up.

"I originally heard that Brother Ryuusei had woken up, so I planned to visit him. But just as I reached the gate of the estate, I received news that my uncle's son-in-law, Shima Takeshi, suddenly acted this morning, arranging for his men to control the members of our Shimazu Family staying in Kyushu Island and replacing all the management of the Shimazu Family's industries with his confidants." Shima Mitsuhiro said through gritted teeth.

Shima Takeshi really started?

Liu Xing and others looked at each other.

Liu Xing and others had actually discussed the issue of Shima Takeshi, and the final conclusion was simple - Shima Takeshi would not cause trouble for the time being because Shimazu Nakano had not had an accident yet.

If Shimazu Nakano has an accident, then Shima Takeshi might take the opportunity to stand up and take a gamble while Shimazu Nakano's reputation is plummeting. However, now that Shimazu Nakano is at the peak of his reputation as the leader of the Warrior Faction, even if Shima Takeshi has ideas, he has to temporarily avoid the limelight. After all, Shimazu Nakano can completely use the name of the Warrior Faction to "crusade" against him.

So, if Shima Takeshi suddenly stands up to cause trouble now, either he has lost his mind, or someone is supporting him from behind.

Being groomed by Shimazu Nakano as a successor, Liu Xing believes that Shima Takeshi is still very smart. Therefore, Shima Takeshi's sudden attack today must be because someone is supporting him from behind, and the support is very strong.

So, who is the backer behind Shima Takeshi?

But the current problem is, why is Shima Mitsuhiro not going back to discuss countermeasures with his uncle, but instead coming to our group?

Could it be?

Shima Mitsuhiro took a deep breath and suddenly performed a standard dogeza—simply put, he prostrated himself.

"Everyone, Shima Takeshi has blocked the news, so apart from your Sawada Family and our Shimazu Family, others do not know what Shima Takeshi has done. Therefore, to preserve the reputation of our Shimazu Family, I hope the Sawada Family can accompany me to Kyushu Island to eliminate this ungrateful guy Shima Takeshi!" Shima Mitsuhiro said seriously.

As expected.

Liu Xing and others were well aware that the so-called "family reputation" mentioned by Shima Mitsuhiro was essentially his and Shimazu Nakano's personal interests. If this matter is not resolved quickly, it is likely to spread rapidly. By then, Shimazu Nakano will have to step down again because he no longer has the support of the Shimazu Family.

As for Shima Mitsuhiro, who is dependent on Shimazu Nakano, the situation will not be much better.

So, at this point, the only helpers Shima Mitsuhiro can find are our group, because our group is quite powerful and has a relatively simple power structure... in other words, we have few people.

Although Mutou Masao owes Shima Mitsuhiro a big favor, Shima Mitsuhiro does not dare to ask Mutou Masayoshi to repay the favor at this time. After all, the Night Society is a loosely structured secret cult, and many people in it have grudges against the Shimazu Family. Therefore, even if Shima Mitsuhiro uses this big favor, he can at most invite Mutou Masao alone to help him, which is obviously not cost-effective.

But Liu Xing and others are different. The Sawada Family, to which Liu Xing and others belong, is a newly emerging family with no conflicts with the Shimazu Family. Currently, there are no conflicts of interest, and they have even worked together before, so there is some friendship between them.

Moreover, Shima Mitsuhiro's return to Kyushu to trouble Shima Takeshi this time is definitely not going to be a grand affair with hundreds of people. He can only take a few trusted people and sneak back to Kyushu, then wait for an opportunity to deal with Shima Takeshi.

Therefore, Shima Mitsuhiro needs elite soldiers, and they must be elite soldiers who are not from the Shimazu Family.

Because Shima Mitsuhiro and Shimazu Nakano are now like frightened birds, worried that there are spies arranged by Shima Takeshi among their subordinates. They dare not risk taking these "own people" back to Kyushu, lest they be ambushed by Shima Takeshi as soon as they arrive in Kyushu and die before they even start.

So, after careful consideration, the only helpers Shima Mitsuhiro can find are our group.

Liu Xing and others exchanged glances and started communicating with their eyes again.

But at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded, "Congratulations to all players for triggering the first stage of the Public-Military Conflict, the only mission of the Warrior Faction—Shimazu Rebellion: Because Shima Takeshi suddenly usurped power and gained control of the Shimazu Family in southern Kyushu, to ensure the future of the Shimazu Family and the stability of the Warrior Faction, Shima Mitsuhiro invites you to Kyushu to jointly discuss Shima Takeshi."

"Because this mission is unique, if the players refuse to accept it, Shima Mitsuhiro will go to Kyushu alone to assassinate Shima Takeshi. Moreover, because this mission is of great importance and will seriously affect the subsequent plot direction of the Public-Military Conflict, please make a careful decision. The reward for this mission is the full support of the Shimazu Family."

After introducing the mission, the strange KP, Liu Xing and others immediately decided to accept Shima Mitsuhiro's request.

Obviously, if Shima Mitsuhiro goes to Kyushu alone to assassinate Shima Takeshi, his success rate might only be one percent... because this is already the smallest probability in the Cthulhu RPG Game.

If Shima Mitsuhiro fails to assassinate, the subsequent situation is self-evident.

As a member of the Warrior Faction, Liu Xing and others definitely do not want to see this happen.

Therefore, Liu Xing and others must accept this mission, even if it is very difficult.

Fortunately, the reward for this mission did not disappoint Liu Xing and others. As long as they complete this mission, they can secure a top ten position on the Warrior Faction's contribution list.
