Between Revolution and Order

The sky, clear and starry, awaits the great political change that is about to come. The people remain on the streets. Students, pupils, teachers and other scholars continue to demonstrate against the harsh conditions prevailing in the country.
What else awaits them?

With the imposition of Martial Law and the dissolution of Parliament, the governance of the nation has fallen into the background. Alongside the National Recovery Team, the Independent Military League has been established, openly supporting the imposition of a dictatorship to unleash absolute violence against the communists who have taken control of the streets and universities.

It is indeed a fact that universities across the country remain closed, as students and their unions have locked the gates and declared a state of siege to resist the League’s operations. The League has already begun persecutions against leftist organizations and citizens.

But who exactly is this Military League?

The Independent Military League of Solidarity (IMLS) was founded under Field Marshal Saito Masakage to defend the integrity of the homeland, which, according to them, is endangered by the arbitrary and misguided actions of the National Recovery Team.
Despite its staunchly anti-communist ideology, the League claims to fight for the reopening of Parliament and the holding of free elections including the participation of left-wing parties that, in the League’s view, commit to certain conditions.

For now, little has changed.
The National Recovery Team has begun to withdraw from political affairs, while the Military League rises independently within the sphere of governance, seeking to restore order to society. Yet it now faces two major leftist factions, Red Horizon (赤い地平線), a leftist student movement known for its active character and responsibility for the occupations of national universities, and New Dawn (新しい夜明け), a left wing socialist organization.

Events are moving rapidly and no one knows what the next government of the country will be.
But one thing is certain… we are now entering a new era.
