The news about the mobilization of the fourteenth brigade had shocked everyone in East Asia.
Japan had less than twenty brigades in total, and so the force dispatched represented a significant portion of the Japanese manpower. Worse, they had also used advanced fighter jets such as F-15. thanks to the Chinese and Korean agents who had been working in Japan, it didn't take long before leaders of all East Asia countries learned of the development.
"What's going on? Why did Japan mobilize so many troops? Is it a drill?"
"I haven't heard any news about their upcoming drill. They ought to inform us if there is one."
"Could it be some kind of emergency?"
Both the Chinese and the Korean Military leaders deliberated the issue and its implications. Countries in East Asia were so tightly connected that one nation's emergency could affect all the counties around it.
