"What? Say that again?"
Nakayama Juji could hardly believe the contents of the phone call and asked the other party to repeat it, then he heard the person from the Defense Ministry say with a change of pitch:
"A radiation dust collector has already taken off from Hawaii and is expected to arrive at the Ryukyu Base in half an hour. Meanwhile, the Pacific Fleet has turned the 120-kilometer area around Fukushima into a military control zone.
According to the information we've gathered, the populations of nine cities in the vicinity need to be relocated for at least three years, and nineteen cities need to evacuate temporarily for over three months.
Also, the Edo Electric Power Company has been approached, likely to discuss the response to the electromagnetic pulse issue.
Your Excellency, they're serious this time!"
"Stupid fool!"
Nakayama Juji paced back and forth in his office, getting angry. Since even the Pacific Fleet was ready, he obviously had no countermeasures of his own.
