Yes, Prime Minister of Japan
Page 1042
It wasn't until the early hours of the following day, as more and more evidence was released and countless videos were circulated, that the world gradually realized how insane the situation was.
The whole world was stunned by this sudden news.
Why is it the two of you again? Why is it Pearl Harbor again? Why is it another air raid on the fleet?
What year is this? Is it the winter of 1941?
Governments around the world reacted very cautiously, with almost all foreign ministers and ambassadors disappearing into the shadows to make them untraceable to foreign journalists and busybodies.
So initially, public opinion was still controlled by netizens around the world.
Chinese netizens displayed world-class enthusiasm on this day, flooding the entire global internet with the black fox symbol representing Li Xinghe.
They devised a new unofficial code name for this surprise attack:
"Fox, fox, fox~"
Some people who like to use memes describe Li Xinghe and Gao Tiao Wuyue as:
"Brother Li is cruel and cunning, and Sister Gao is cunning and cruel!"
"Brother Li is tall and big, while Sister Gao is not tall and big."
Some even praised Zhang Xiaoqian, who personally carried out the plan on the front lines, as "the contemporary Chuichi Nagumo!"
Zhang Xiaoqian immediately mobilized his team to severely suppress any comments that dared to insult him, resorting to everything from deleting comments and banning accounts to summoning people to the police station.
How can you insult me like that? In what way am I not better than Chuichi Nagumo?
Spokespersons for the foreign ministries of China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and Russia all used conciliatory statements at press conferences, expressing their hope that both sides would cease the conflict. However, they were all suppressing their laughter and maintaining a straight face, secretly feeling extremely pleased.
The whole of East Asia was jubilant. From China to Japan and South Korea, from North Korea to the Far East, plus most of Southeast Asia that supported China or Li Xinghe, everyone was clearly aware of one fact: the United States had indeed lost power in East Asia.
Let's watch the show and see how the Americans get out of this!
When news of the Indo-Pacific Command's defeat reached Washington, the entire White House fell silent.
Of all the U.S. Navy's operational aircraft carriers, one sank and two were severely damaged at Pearl Harbor. The USS Eisenhower was completely sunk, the USS Carl Vinson was essentially beyond repair and reduced to scrap metal, and the USS Kennedy was slightly luckier, but who would repair its rudder and heavily damaged hull?
Next, everyone ran out of boats.
When the officials went to the White House to see Vance, His Majesty Vance had become so obese that he could hardly move his large buttocks and could only lie in bed injecting himself with drugs for amusement.
"No, it's impossible."
Vance was addicted to the pleasure of drugs and unwilling to face this reality.
At this point, the internet in the United States had exploded:
"Take them down! Build ships! Launch nuclear missiles!"
"Are the US saving their nuclear weapons for future generations? Drop two more on Japan, and they'll submit."
The situation facing Americans at this time is somewhat similar to that of the Qing Dynasty.
When the three aircraft carriers were billowing smoke and the entire Pacific Fleet was completely sunk, they first reacted with extreme stress, frantically shouting that they would carry out a "surgical nuclear bombardment" against Japan. Then they began to repeat brainless statements such as "How great is the history of the United States", "The American Navy can conquer the world", and "As long as we get serious, we can defeat Japan". Then came insane words such as "America is invincible in the world" and "America is the country that God loves most".
Soon, crime rates plummeted in cities across the United States. The nationalism of middle-class internet users surged, but this did not prevent violent Black and Latino communities, who were not online, from taking the opportunity to rob and steal.
"Where are the Allied forces?!"
The whole world wants to know where the Allied Forces, which Americans perceive as a 'second Imperial Japanese Navy,' have gone.
In fact, the coalition forces were much more nervous than the US military.
Fearing being chased by nuclear submarines or ballistic missiles, or having their location pinpointed by the US military for nuclear strikes, the Allied fleet, which had gathered in Hawaii in more than ten routes, turned around after achieving complete victory and fled in more than ten separate groups to ports in Tokyo, Hokkaido, and Alaska.
The way everyone charged forward to bomb the US aircraft carrier was impressive, but now their furtive, furtive sprint is rather cowardly. As soon as they got home, they immediately activated all their air defense radars, monitoring the movements of the US strategic bombing forces 24 hours a day.
He suddenly showed off the most awesome thing in the world, it's time to start keeping a low profile.
Not only that, Zhang Xiaoqian also gave strict orders:
"From now on, any large fleet going out must be equipped with at least three anti-submarine and air defense frigates to ensure that it is not attacked by submarines."
After hiding and observing the world situation for two days, and when the Allied Forces confirmed that the US military was in chaos, Li Xinghe sent Gao Tiaowuyue to test the world's reaction.
"On March 2, the Asia-Pacific coalition government will hold a public press conference."
As soon as the news broke, the Sakuradamon subway station was trampled by reporters from all over the world.
The number of journalists from various countries applying to attend the meeting was overwhelming, unsurprisingly overwhelming Japan's weak government website.
After internal discussions, the press conference was moved to the open space in front of the Imperial Palace, where there was room for as many reporters as they wanted.
On that day, more than 30,000 reporters and influential social media bloggers stood at the gate of the Imperial Palace, and tens of thousands of sets of photography equipment of all sizes were brought out, with the level of long guns and short cannons comparable to that of a battleship going out.
At the world's largest press conference, only May Takajo was present.
This time, Takajo Satsuki was really arrogant, almost as if she was about to put on 30-centimeter stilts and perform acrobatics in front of the Cabinet Office.
"Victory! We've won!"
She was secretly pleased and spent a full six hours carefully selecting her outfit.
When Gao Tiao arrived at the press conference, she was wearing a very simple black and gray long dress, and she didn't even wear high heels.
She wasn't wearing makeup, a necklace, or any jewelry. She hadn't even styled her long hair; she had just casually rolled it up and pinned it behind her head.
The reporters looked at Takasaka May and seemed to sense that she had become more composed.
The simpler it is, the more solemn it is.
The destruction of three US aircraft carriers laid a solid foundation for Li Xinghe's status as a "positive-sphere" leader. Therefore, as the secretary-general of a "positive-sphere" leader, Secretary Gao must at least be at the "vice-sphere" level.
When a deputy-level leader enters the meeting room, he naturally takes his time to prepare.
So Gao Tiao Wuyue spent 3 minutes watching the on-site staff add two layers of footrests for her, adjust the arrangement on the lectern, flip through the entire speech manuscript from beginning to end, then flip it over again to read it once more, and then flip through it once more.
The reporters in the room held their breath, some even nearly fainting from the tension.
After a three-minute preparation before speaking, Secretary-General Gao adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, picked up his unusual enamel teacup, and calmly addressed the international journalists in both Chinese and Japanese:
"In response to the United States' blatant attack on the former American Samoa territory, a signatory to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and which had been granted independence by the United Nations, we have launched a stern and restrained self-defense counterattack!"
Regarding the cause and nature of this conflict, Mayuki Takajo defined it as a 'self-defense counterattack'.
"We did not invade U.S. territory, but were retaliating against the party that carried out the aggression against our Asia-Pacific Community member states, namely the Third Fleet of the Indo-Pacific Command."
Regarding the target of the conflict, Mayu Takajo also believes that "it's not the United States that's being attacked."
"We demand that the United States immediately withdraw from Samoa and issue a written apology to the occupied country."
Regarding the outcome of the conflict, Mayu Takajo believes that the United States still occupies American Samoa.
"We have petitioned the United Nations Asia and Pacific Headquarters of the Lanfang Republic to impose sanctions on the United States in the strongest terms and demand the release of the former American Samoan."
and many more?
Wasn't the United Nations headquarters in the Lanfang Republic the Asian headquarters? When did they add the Pacific Ocean to it?
Li Xinghe didn't care; if he said so, then so be it.
Reporters from various countries were eager to ask questions, but since they didn't have the microphones, they could only watch as Takashima May spoke in a bureaucratic manner.
As the knife in his hand grew larger, Li Xinghe's tone became increasingly composed and calm, casually referring to his annihilation of the U.S. Third Fleet as a "serious and restrained self-defense counterattack."
This situation is quite common.
They clamor for a war of the whole nation when they don't have nuclear weapons, but once they have nuclear weapons, they can sit down and suggest, "Let's not build nuclear weapons."
Before sinking the American aircraft carrier, Li Xinghe would sharply criticize and curse, but after actually sinking it, he would politely and generously declare, "I love peace!"
But it's really hard for international media to say anything, because Li Xinghe is indeed very serious and restrained.
Hawaii was practically within reach, yet he hadn't sent his ruthless fleet of airships to launch an attack on the island. Keep in mind, if he had used the same level of force he displayed when bombing Indonesia, four airships would have stormed Pearl Harbor, their cannons capable of wiping out any resistance on the entire island.
In international commentary, Li Xinghe's amphibious assault forces are considered more distinctive than his aircraft carrier forces.
After explaining the situation, Gao Tiaowuyue left.
This press conference was more like a probing question thrown out by Li Xinghe to gauge the US reaction.
Media outlets from various countries are facing a dilemma.
"How exactly should it be reported?"
someone said:
"We certainly cannot lean towards humiliating the United States."
To say that the US Third Fleet was destroyed would offend the US. The Americans are saying that only the Eisenhower, an old ship already slated for scrapping, sank; the Carl Vinson and Kennedy could still be repaired through major overhauls. If you say the loss of life was the cause, then you can expect a severe scolding from the US.
But the Third Fleet is truly finished. Putting aside the loss of the aircraft carriers, the sinking of six Ticonderoga and six Arleigh Burke ships means that the number of US fleets in the Pacific has dropped to a level lower than that of South Korea.
Some people say:
"We also cannot be biased towards humiliating the Asia-Pacific region."
Li Xinghe had a legitimate reason for his actions: his own Asia-Pacific Commonwealth of Nations member states had been invaded, how could he tolerate it?
Moreover, with the current international economic turmoil, Li Xinghe is very wealthy and employs numerous NGOs to cause trouble everywhere. Offending him would have even more dire consequences.
Therefore, some people said:
"Should we continue criticizing Russia?"
This is a good direction.
Criticizing Russia won't offend anyone, and Russians won't have anything to say.
Therefore, the British media's reporting tone was quite peculiar; they described the conflict as: "Russia instigated the conflict between the US and Japan, which led to the collapse of the European financial market."
......
After a day of this situation, the White House is still slow to react.
Vance is heavily using drugs to numb his senses. He doesn't want to face it or answer questions.
At this point, the White House staff realized the situation.
Chief of Staff Grady suddenly realized:
"Is Vance just stalling for time, trying to make us take the blame?"
As long as the White House can't withstand external pressure and officials either admit or deny the status quo, Vance won't have to take the blame.
But the Pentagon wasn't the mastermind; they had already dissuaded them from doing so.
So, after some secret planning, the Pentagon held its own press conference.
Chief of Staff Grady shamelessly said:
"We've defended against everything!"
"In the Hawaii conflict, we intercepted 100% of the Chinese... I mean the main missiles of the Asia-Pacific Joint Force."
"The sacred and courageous guards of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command repelled the Japanese amphibious landing plan."
"A resounding victory for the United States!"
Clearly, such a self-deceiving lie is hardly convincing.
But the Pentagon doesn't care. Anyway, I don't admit defeat. Believe it or not, I won't take the blame.
But the people didn't believe it.
The traditional date for the US president to step down is January 20th. An angry crowd gathered at the Washington Monument, shouting in protest.
"Vance! Step down! Vance! Step down!"
"Clown! Wild boar! Clown! Wild boar!"
But Vance also had his own henchmen. He had the "Imperial Police" transformed from the Immigration Bureau, as well as the fanatical militia, the Guards. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict: "Arrest all forces of resistance. Order all television stations to broadcast the official news of the American victory over the Japanese on a loop."
Anyway, since the Pentagon claims to have won and achieved a 100% interception, let the national media broadcast it around the world. This is what the Pentagon said, not what Emperor Vance himself said.
Faced with this stubborn refusal to admit defeat, realist offensive theorist Mearsheimer said with deep sorrow:
"The U.S. military did indeed defeat Japan by a large margin, but that was 87 years ago in Tokyo Bay, not on Fox News at this moment."
Staring at the world map in the White House, Vance hesitated anxiously. He didn't know how to maintain this situation. Russian leaders who couldn't achieve victory all died, and so could American leaders who couldn't achieve victory. Just like Jimmy Carter, who only served one term before stepping down.
He desperately wanted to know:
"Li Xinghe, what is he thinking right now?!"
At this time, violent neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., had set the streets ablaze, with unrestrained mobs sweeping through shops, burning all American flags, and venting their anger over America's defeat.
