I watched the BS1 Special "2.26 Incident - Approaching with Top Secret Documents" (rebroadcast).

I thought that N-Spe would never be able to surpass "The Cuban Missile Crisis: A Shuddering Record, Nightmare in October", but this was another great work.

Unusually, my other family members were also watching the program seriously. There was a different kind of power and fear than in the movies.

The Navy's network kept track of the coup d'etat of the army's young officers in real time, from its inception to its suppression.

My father was a student at the Naval Academy (the war ended while he was still in school), so I have heard some very vivid stories about the Army vs. the Navy.

Well, that's aside.

In this program, I heard that there was a plan to "directly attack the Diet building occupied by young officers with distant fire (40km range) from a battleship", and that the battleship Nagato had already been deployed in Tokyo Bay -- to be honest, I was pale.

This is not the era of pinpoint missile attacks using lasers.

What surprised me the most was the interview with a 103 year old army soldier who was automatically included in the rebel army.

He looked youthful enough to pass for "65 years old".

Is it "Old Japanese Army" ? Would I get the anti-aging benefits if I joined the military?

I wondered if there was such a thing as "recruiting senior members of the Self-Defense Forces.
