Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

The fighter jets soared high in the sky; even though some sea monsters had flying capabilities, they couldn't keep up with the jets' speed and were quickly dealt with using air-to-air missiles and ground-based anti-aircraft fire.

With no aerial threats, the air force jets could unleash their firepower without restraint, using their air superiority to deliver precise missile strikes against any Dominator-level sea monsters that surfaced, eliminating them immediately to create favorable conditions for the ground forces' advance.

After hours of continuous bombing by the air force and artillery, the Japanese ground troops began to enter Geshan County, primarily with large units of armored vehicles and tanks, escorted by armed helicopters overhead.

The ordinary small- and medium-sized monsters found it very difficult to breach the powerful web of firepower and pose a threat to these steel beasts.

As for the large monsters and Dominator-level monsters, those were handled by the missile units and the air force, making the entire advance more smooth and easy compared to before.

However, it was the small and micro-sized monsters that often hid within city buildings, moving stealthily. The Japanese army could not level every building in Geshan County; they ultimately needed to send troops in for reconnaissance and search operations.

This situation inevitably led to close-quarters combat, causing significant casualties to the Japanese soldiers during street fights.

Nevertheless, relying on their numerical advantage, the Japanese army gradually seized the streets of Geshan County, their formidable firepower sweeping away all enemies in their path.

However, the only consequence of such firepower bombardment was that many buildings in Geshan County were riddled with holes, turning the entire city into a war zone. The Japanese survivors lurking in Geshan County suffered heavy casualties under the army's bombing and airstrikes.

Just as the Japanese forces were advancing and reclaiming most of Geshan County, an order arrived from Tokyo.

All advancing Japanese troops were ordered to halt, instead sealing off Geshan County to prevent any sea monsters from escaping.

This command left the Japanese soldiers below puzzled. They were about to recapture the entire Geshan County, so why stop at this critical moment?

But as a large number of soldiers in military uniforms, with blond hair and blue eyes, either with white skin or black skin, arrived in Geshan County to begin taking over the Japanese soldiers' lines, all the Japanese soldiers suddenly realized and then were incredibly outraged.

These newly-arrived soldiers had a common designation: the US Military Stationed in Sakura.

As a defeated nation in World War II, Japan is the country with the most overseas troops from the Beautiful Country, with about 50,000 Beautiful Country Soldiers stationed in Japan, deploying units such as the Seventh Fleet, the Fifth Air Force, and the Third Marine Corps, with as many as 113 military bases present.

After these Beautiful Country Soldiers arrived in Geshan County, they immeiately started driving out the Japanese soldiers with arrogance, only letting them handle some menial tasks, and then began sealing off the entire Geshan County, not allowing any mutant sea monsters to escape, nor the Japanese survivors to leave.

The Beautiful Country military completely surrounded Geshan County, bringing in a large amount of experimental instruments and research equipment to establish an institution called the Geshan County Biological Research Institute nearby.

It was evident that the Beautiful Country intended to turn Geshan County into a sea monster biosphere and research laboratory, studying the secrets of the sea monsters there, completely disregarding the lives of the Japanese in Geshan County.

This move naturally caused quite a stir in the international community, and domestically, there was an outcry, forcing the Japanese government to hold a press conference to answer questions.

At the press conference, Prime Minister Xiyuan Temple Yiteng personally attended and invited the commander of the Beautiful Country stationed in Japan, Fro Hernandez, to participate as well.

"Sumimasen, I'm truly sorry, everyone. For the tragedy that occurred in Geshan County, being the Prime Minister, I failed to protect the life and safety of the people. I'm very sorry."

As soon as he appeared, Prime Minister Xiyuan Temple Yiteng performed a triple bow, bending over for up to three minutes under the flashlights of countless reporters.

This Q&A session was broadcast live across Japan, and many Japanese, upon seeing this scene on television, felt much less anger towards Xiyuan Temple Yiteng.

After all, Xiyuan Temple Yiteng had already apologized, so what more could they want from him?

"Prime Minister, now that Geshan County is under the control of the Beautiful Country military, have you secretly reached some shady agreement with the Beautiful Country, completely disregarding the lives of your own people, allowing the Beautiful Country to do as they please in Geshan County?"

When it came to the question-and-answer session, a French journalist stood up impatiently.

Xiyuan Temple Yiteng's face darkened, truly believing he wanted to do this, but they also had to consider what position the Beautiful Country held in Japan; even if he wanted to refuse, it wasn't something he could achieve.

Of course, he certainly couldn't answer that way.

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. The reason for inviting the Beautiful Country to station in Geshan County is purely because the Beautiful Country's military strength is more robust and can ensure security, and the Beautiful Country's scientific research capabilities are top-notch in the world. With their help, we can sooner uncover the secrets of these sea monsters."

Xiyuan Temple Yiteng declared, earnestly providing a perfect excuse for his actions.

"Not all of Geshan County has been retaken, and there are still many Japanese civilians inside. I've seen videos uploaded by survivors in Geshan County, saying that the Beautiful Country military isn't rescuing them and is even preventing them from leaving Geshan County, leaving them to become food for the monsters."
