What happens after Train to Busan?

Protests erupt around Japan calling for the revocation of Article 9
#Japan #KZCrisis #Article9 #JSDF



An estimated 30,000 individuals marched from the Imperial Palace, the National Diet Building, and the Kantei today in Tokyo's Chiyoda Special Ward after it was discovered that North Korea planned to use Infected specimens as biological weapons to start outbreaks within Japan and what remains of South Korea. The information was obtained from captured sailors from the Korean People's Navy submarine that was impounded by the JMSDF.

Crowds waved both the Hinomaru and the Rising Sun flags while chanting nationalist slogans. Some were even dressed in Imperial Army uniforms. Right-wing nationalists such as the uyoku-dantai and the Great Japan Patriotic Party, who also waved South Korean and American flags, were among the members that took part in the march.

"This is one of the reasons why need to revoke Article 9. For several decades, our country has lived under threat from North Korea's ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. Now they planned to use the kabane (corpse) against us. This has gone too far." Said right-wing nationalist Takahiro Nakayama. "It is time for Japan to take action against all threats for her survival."

Japan is one of the first nations to enforce the quarantine of the Korean Peninsula since the outbreak began last July in what has been the largest overseas Japanese military operation since World War II. The JSDF, particularly the Maritime Self Defense Force, fired its first shot in defense against North Korean navy vessels.

Article 9 was enacted by the Allied Powers on Japan's post-war constitution in which the country will never use war as an instrument of force after its defeat in World War II. In September 2015, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced that Article 9 would be amended to cover allies and partners in a form of "collective self-defense." This was condemned by China and both Koreans, who fear the resurgence of Japanese militarism. An official apology has yet to suffice for Japanese atrocities committed during the war.

Based on a recent survey of 100,000 individuals per city, 95% of Japanese nationals prefer for further involvement in the Korean Peninsula to contain both the KZ Virus and the threat from North Korea.

The Marine From Texas - Part 1: Send-Off

July 23, 2016
Okinawa, Japan

"Hello followers, I would not be making any videos for a while. The reason is obvious. I'm going to be deployed to secure the Busan safe-zone to reinforce our South Korean allies and the American forces there. Honestly, I am terrified. I've never seen a zombie in real-life much less being able to fight one. I ask for you guys to pray for me and my fellow Marines as we battle something that only existed in science fiction. Remember my followers, you have one life. Live it. Make it count. See you. Updates to follow."

19 year old Armando Nava Jr., known by his YouTube Channel NavaTheBeast, flipped off the camera and uploaded the video on his YouTube as well as social media accounts. The Texan bodybuilder, YouTube influencer, and military motivator since 2015 was stationed here in Okinawa. Nava could remember the day he entered bootcamp just fresh out of high school to the day he earned his Globe, Eagle, and Anchor. Since he became a Marine, he wanted to motivate the younger generation to find their purpose in life such as serving one's country. For Nava, the life of Marine was tiring yet rewarding. He never expected in his whole life to be deployed to places he had never imagined he would be at. When he was younger, he saw Japan as the land of anime and sushi. There was more to see of Japan once his deployment started here: from Japanese temples, amusement parks, old castles, cherry blossoms, beaches, and Mount Fuji. In his prime, he aimed to make his life meaningful as the Marine Corps could let one travel for free as part of their overseas deployment.

Then cue in 2016 came the KZ Epidemic that affected neighboring Korea. Nava and his fellow Marines saw from the TV in the mess hall of footage of Infected creatures rampaging throughout South Korea. The mess hall was full of shocked gasps an disbelief.

"Holy shit dude." A Marine called out.

"It's easy. We shoot them in the head."

"Hey dumbass, didn't you see the footage? Those things are the fast type. Something like Left 4 Dead, World War Z, or the Dawn of the Dead remake. Chances are you will be overwhelmed before you could even aim for the head?"

"Who needs ground troops when we have helicopters and aircraft to kill those zombies from the air?"

"Gonna kill me some undead fuckers soon. Hoorah! Jarheads never quit."

That night, the commander of the camp announced that several battalions of Marines would be shipping out to Sasebo where the amphibious vessels of the U.S. Navy in Japan were stationed at. The destination was obvious: Busan. Miraculously, significant numbers of the ROK Armed Forces were able to secure that strategic port city and Jeju Island. The ROK government managed to evacuate President Park, senior cabinet officials, and some higher ups of the South Korean military to the city in the southern tip of the Korean peninsula. The nearby U.S. Navy facility as Chinhae provided what assistance they can along with the scattered U.S. Army units. Casualties among American forces numbered around approximated 500 soldiers in the first three days of the outbreak. The number was expected to increase as some U.S. Army bases were on the risk of being overrun. The commander stated they had to ready their gear as they would then take the flight to Nagasaki. From there, the marines would travel to Sasebo and board the troop ships towards the Korean Peninsula.

Nava prepared his backpack and checked his M4A1 time-and-time again. Next, he checked his sidearm. He made sure all his weapons were locked-and-loaded but on safe.

"Remember, head equals dead." Nava said to himself.

Beside him, a fellow Marine assigned as a squad support gunner was loading his magazines on his load-bearing vest. The marine was issued an M-27 IAR, the intended replacement for the M4A1.

"Can't wait to turn some zombies into red mist." The gunner said.

"Easy buddy. Remember not to waste your ammo. We only do full auto if we're against a horde of those things." The squad leader said.

---

Less than 30 minutes later, the marines were all assembled. They then boarded a C-130 that would take them to Nagasaki. Upon arriving in Nagasaki, they boarded the buses that took them to the base at Sasebo. Several Marines already assembled at the docks in front of the dock landing ships USS Ashland and the USS Germantown, the amphibious transport dock USS Green Bay, and the flattop, the USS Bonhomme Richard.

Nava and his marines were assigned to board the USS Bonhomme Richard. There was no formal ceremony as the Marines needed to land in Busan as soon as possible. The large ships left Sasebo. With them were young sailors and marines ready to fight an enemy that only 72 hours ago existed in science fiction.

The following intro scene of Peninsula.

Zombie outbreak explained scene |Train to Busan 2 |Peninsula |HD scene |English Dub


I gathered the following:

• The outbreak occurred on May 24, 2016 rather than the July 2016 POD I presented.
• The Republic of Korea collapsed in 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, the North has stated to have survived but this is a cursory mention.
• A hastingly-arranged seaborne evacuation was made but Japan refused to allow Korean refugees due to the fear of infected? or WWII tensions? Or because Japan does not accept refugees just like OTL?
• Busan was just an evacuation point but it apparently fell soon after.
• Hong Kong was one of the areas that accepted Korean refugees.
• A large UN naval blockade has been enforced on the Korean Peninsula.
• Just like the xenophobia and hate attacks against Asians because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Koreans here face mockery and hate attacks from people of the countries that housed them.

Well they are protected by the DMZ and have a massive amount of artillery along side the border with South Korea as can see here: Here’s A Closer Look At North Korea’s Artillery Capabilities

Not to mention there are mines on the DMZ. If that fails, Kim Jong Un would have no doubt used nuclear weapons to contain the zombies.

Think that is something the United States will see a step to far.

Or even the Chinese, Russians, and the Japanese for the fall out would spread in their countries.

  Possibly but if Kim thinks it necessary for his nation's [and more importantly his regime's] survival I doubt he would consider the views of others that important.  Also given the sheer speed with which S Korea collapsed and the potential dangers I suspect that while the neighbours might moan they could well be quietly relieved that Kim has taken the step several of them were considering.

5 years since the outbreak for this timeline.

In my opinion, this does not need an American remake.

Long Island, Manhattan, Staten Island, and Governor's Island would be sealed off just like in I Am Legend.

And be overpopulated wich results in disaster.
