We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

This operation was swift and named "Operation Yakuza Group Dissolution." The department in charge referred to it as "Yakuza Group Dissolution Operation Headquarters," aiming to eliminate the Yakuza group in one fell swoop.

After learning of the death of Kazuo Tagang, the third-generation leader of the Yakuza group, the Prime Minister of Japan immediately began making arrangements. From the time they received news of the funeral to the gathering of police in Kobe, only a day had passed.

Once the machinery of the state starts operating, things move very quickly.

It wasn't until the summoned police officers were gathered together that everyone realized this wasn't a training exercise at all, but a secret mission.

By this time, the police officers were under strict management, making it impossible for anyone with ill intentions to contact the outside world.

On the day of the funeral, many unfamiliar faces had arrived in Kobe.

However, these people stayed away from the Yakuza group headquarters and weren't wearing police uniforms. The vehicles they arrived in weren't police cars either, but tourist buses.

That's right, the police officers executing this mission were disguised as tourists!

At 3:00 PM on June 28th, Kazuo Tagang's funeral was held on a scenic mountain in Kobe.

Due to the short notice of the funeral, only a little over a hundred leaders and figureheads from other underworld organizations attended, in addition to the Yakuza group's main leaders and executives.

This seemed disproportionately small for the Yakuza group, which was considered the overlord of the underworld.

However, over a thousand members of the Yakuza group attended, with middle and upper management present, as well as many ordinary members.

The weather in Kobe wasn't good that day. It had rained heavily in the morning, and by the afternoon, it had only lessened to a drizzle. Everyone wore uniform black suits, letting the light rain soak their clothes and hair. Using umbrellas at this time would have been disrespectful to Kazuo Tagang and Tagang Man, creating a somber scene.

Kazuo Tagang's family members were overcome with grief. Even some members of the Yakuza group couldn't help but shed tears.

Although the Yakuza group wasn't founded by Kazuo Tagang, he single-handedly transformed it from a small organization into the largest violent group in Japan and even the world. It could be said that the person with the greatest contribution in the history of the Yakuza group was definitely Kazuo Tagang.

Within the Yakuza group, Kazuo Tagang was undoubtedly an idol to many.

Now that their idol was dead, and the future of the Yakuza group was uncertain, many members were plunged into sorrow.

In the eyes of the Yakuza group members, the raindrops falling from the sky were mourning the death of Kazuo Tagang, grieving the passing of a generation's hero.

In reality, this was just their imagination, nothing more than self-deception. The real reason for the rain in Kobe was that a typhoon in the western Pacific was moving towards Japan, bringing abundant rainfall to Kobe and the entire Kansai region.

At this moment, they were completely unaware that the entire mountain was surrounded by police.

They numbered over a thousand people.

On the police side, over three thousand people had been mobilized from all over the country.

Moreover, after surrounding the mountain, police from Kobe, Osaka, and other areas were gradually being transferred in, as there was no longer any need to worry about alarming the snake.

By the time the police from the Kansai region, including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Shiga, Hyogo, Nara, Wakayama, and Mie, had been moved to the mountain already surrounded by police, only about an hour had passed.

At this point, there were over five thousand police officers at the scene.

Furthermore, to ensure the operation's success, the Japan Self-Defense Forces had sent personnel to assist, aiming to eliminate the upper and middle echelons of the Yakuza group completely.

In Su Cheng's previous life, in that parallel world, Kazuo Tagang died in 1981. In that version of Japan, there was also a plan to take advantage of Kazuo Tagang's funeral to completely eliminate the Yakuza group, but things didn't go as they hoped.

In Su Cheng's previous life, on a Sunday in October 1981, Kazuo Tagang's funeral was held as scheduled. Because the funeral preparations took a very long time, a full three months, many important figures were invited. Over 1,000 figureheads from underworld organizations around the world attended, not to mention the thousands of Yakuza group members themselves who participated.

The police had conducted a thorough search of the Yakuza group's bases beforehand, discovering many firearms and weapons, and established the "Yakuza Group Dissolution Operation Headquarters," preparing to eliminate the Yakuza group in one fell swoop. However, the resourceful Yakuza group didn't seem to care, and even brazenly built Kazuo Tagang's memorial hall not far from the Hyogo Prefecture Court.

Kazuo Tagang's funeral alarmed over 1,000 police officers, including 800 guards. 500 officers from the Hyogo Prefecture Court were responsible for checking those attending the funeral. However, the funeral proceeded quite smoothly without any incidents because the Japanese government in that world had too little evidence of the Yakuza group's crimes and couldn't do anything about them, even with the Yakuza group leaderless.

But in this world, due to Su Cheng's arrival, too many things had changed, especially the Yakuza group's proactive provocation of Su Cheng, which completely altered their historical trajectory.

Originally, the Murakou family wouldn't have been destroyed, and there wouldn't have been the betrayal of the sworn brotherhood from the Yakuza group, nor would there have been the situation where Murakou Xia Liu made public the Yakuza group's criminal evidence. That's why the Yakuza group in that world was so arrogant and unafraid of government action.

But this world is completely different, and the Yakuza group is destined to meet its demise today.

Because, after Murakou Xia Liu released that evidence, the people of all of Japan had been hoping for the government to give the Yakuza group the corresponding punishment.

The will of the people cannot be defied!

Even if the Japanese government delayed it again and again, it couldn't delay it for too long.

The Yakuza group members never thought that anyone would deal with them today, because according to the rules, even the Yakuza group's competitors should put aside their hatred and temporarily cease hostilities on such a day.

Therefore, the Yakuza group hadn't even stationed any surveillance personnel on the road leading to the mountain.

Therefore, during the police's waiting encirclement, they weren't discovered by the people holding the funeral on the mountain.

They were completely unaware that they were surrounded by over five thousand people, including not only police officers but also units from the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

Although this small mountain wasn't large, it was relatively high, offering a view of the entire city of Kobe and even the more distant Osaka. It was precisely for this reason that Kazuo Tagang's family chose this location to bury him.

The small mountain had lush vegetation, but the summit had been cleared into a very large flat area.

Kazuo Tagang and Tagang Man's coffins were currently placed under a temporary canopy.
