1996 Invasion of Japan

An undefended Japan occupied by the USSR and allies; an eye for an eye? Soon after the coup in Brazil and rapid transformation into a military government, Japan succumbed to rapid attacks by the USSR and her allies. Mass attacks on major military centers occurred with rapid succession. Missiles hit ships and docks hosting any Japanese military and military bases around the country. With the concentration of air defense in urban areas, these missiles wiped out any major military presence on the island. The Japanese government was not completely off guard; they had managed to track movements of a fleet coming from the southern areas, including in Okinawa and Kumamoto. However, the Northern and Southern Fleet were able to successfully bomb Japanese coastal cities and military installations. Okinawa's citizens and soldiers alike faced the worst of it; the bases completely wiped off. Though the USSR seemingly attempted to avoid using Napalm in civilian areas, the small islands saw almost half as many civilian deaths as military. The USA's planes fled to further pacific bases, though a significant number were shot down. A sizeable number of USSR bombers were shot down, though at the end they prevailed; due to a lack of good range, 70 fell while the bombers, 71 records of planes being shot down were recorded though tis list may not be complete. Nobody saw this attack coming, but even so they made work of some planes. One heroic pilot shot down 3 planes before crashing out of the sky himself. A total of 103 Japanese planes were downed, while 24 American planes were as well. Japanese forces managed a heroic defense in Tokyo and Yokohama while their city was bombed, but the government knew what was coming and fled with some of their most important materials. The unilateral renunciation of all military capabilities was questioned by conservative politicians, and showed through now. There are growing external threats of the Cold War and Japan doesn't have adequate forces to counter it. Throughout the post-war Shōwa period, the Japanese have had a low opinion of the JSDF. They are seen as remnants of the imperial military who caused a severe loss and humiliating surrender of World War II. They have been considered "tax thieves" (zeikin dorobo) for being expensive and unnecessary while Japan had decades of booming economy. So the JSDF was still trying to find its place in Japanese society and earn respect and trust from the public, but failed to do so. After the fleeing of the government to an undisclosed location, the JCP (The Japanese Communist Party (JCP; Japanese: 日本共産党, Nihon Kyōsan-tō) is a political party in Japan and is one of the largest non-governing communist parties in the world) has taken the helm of the government with Kenji Miyamoto as G.S. Presence of the former Showa regime has been erased, apart from him himself, though he remains a figurehead. Indian, Chinese, and some Russian troops are spotted, though connection is bad and the islands are isolated.
