Does anyone else not believe Murakami’s story?

*warning heavy spoilers* do not read if you haven’t seen it yet. Go see it first.
Murakami says it was Noda who changed his mind, but what if that was a lie he just made up to get Shikishima to put down his weapon.
Makoto gave the order to not harm Godzilla meaning Noda knew that order too. So what if when Murakami says “more minds to change” he is referencing how he changed Noda’s mind, and he believes that he just needs to change Noriko and Shikishima’s minds now that he is caught to fulfill the plan.
What if the whole point was to be captured and brought back to America to fulfill his plan.
That’s also why he told Shikishima and Noriko to run. The point is to be caught by the Americans and brought back to America.
In his fantasy Godzilla goes to America for revenge, but if his device works he needs both the device and Noriko to be in America so by getting “caught” he can build the device in America and they can capture Noriko and the Americans can think they are going to be able to control Godzilla, but really it’s all part of Murakami’s plan to fulfill his revenge to bring Godzilla to New York to destroy it.
