Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Watching the interaction between the mother and her two children, Kokubun Tsukisawa said with a hint of jealousy:

"Is the child in her belly also yours?"

Yueya's unintentional question suddenly stunned all three of them.

yes!?

Looking at Li Xinghe's expression, as mothers, Mikasa and Chiyo Hinaki confirmed in just one second that the child in Takikawa Masami's belly was indeed Li Xinghe's.

Then, Mikasa and Chiyo stared at Li Xinghe in disbelief. This kid was practically a walking seed-planting machine, but why couldn't he conceive for his own family? Do you know how anxious Tamae, Fuji Rie, and Fuji Hinako were to get pregnant?

Mikasa was even somewhat exasperated:

"You brat... really... I'm going to give you a rule from now on: every time you go out and have an affair, you have to get the woman at home pregnant first!"

"But this isn't just a matter for me alone."

Li Xinghe also felt wronged.

It's not that the cows are bad, it's that the land is bad.

Chiyo Hinaki's tone was icy: "Sasaki Toya's baby has been identified as a girl. Valeria's baby has also been identified as a girl. It's very clear that although you can have children, you've also inherited the family's genes—more girls than boys. You must have more children to keep the family going."

So what to do?

Interrogating Li Xinghe was clearly not very effective, since it wasn't that he was incompetent, but rather that his family's land was too poor.

So after being severely tortured for a while, Mikasa and Chiyo Hinahime worriedly decided to go home first and then discuss a solution internally.

As they left, Kokubun Tsukiya kissed Lee Seongha and then apologized, saying:

"It was just an April Fool's joke."

Li Xinghe rolled his eyes:

"Next time, I must have you and Mio Makabe serve me together."

Kokubun Tsukiya blushed and whispered:

"Okay. I will...I will."

On the way back, after getting into the car, Chiyo Hina suddenly asked Kokubun Tsukisawa, "It seems like you and him haven't gotten together yet..."

Has it reached that stage?

"No...no..."

Afraid of causing trouble for Li Xinghe, Kokubun Tsukiya took the initiative to explain, "It's my problem. I... I have some psychological issues. If the mothers could help, it would be much better."

What psychological barrier?

After returning home, Mikasa and Chiyo Hina pulled Kokubun Tsukiya into a small room for a detailed chat.

The mothers were astonished when they learned about her and Makabe's symptoms.

Good heavens, there are such mental illnesses in the world.

"Then what should we do?"

It's hard to say about Kokubun Tsukiyaki. You can't just say you like watching your own family members act weird, can you?

But smart mothers understand perfectly.

Chiyo and Mikasa exchanged glances, their feelings for each other beginning to spread.

……

Late at night on April 2, at the Prime Minister's official residence.

Li Xinghe straddled Takikawa Masami, slapping her buttocks while exchanging voice messages with Nagumo Kenichiro, arranging to meet in the morning.

Li Xinghe worked until the early hours of the morning, when Koizumi's daughter complained, "Dad, I'm so sleepy." He then finished his work, got dressed, and went to the Self-Defense Forces' headquarters.

Takikawa Masami spread her tired thighs, feeling so good that she could hardly get up.

"Ugh."

So in the end, it was her daughter, an 8-year-old girl, who got up and figured out how to change the bedding and sheets and throw them into the washing machine.

Upon arriving at the Self-Defense Forces headquarters, Li Xinghe and Kenichiro Nagumo discussed:

"I have footage here of a US anti-aircraft interceptor missile accidentally hitting an aircraft."

Nagumo was overjoyed:

"Oh? Red bean paste?"

The Self-Defense Forces are already burdened with a huge stigma and are under immense pressure. Li Xinghe's arrival to help at this time is like a godsend.

Li Xinghe nodded and handed over the hard drive:

"Go ahead and release it. Someone in the U.S. Department of Defense gave me the nod, hoping to resolve this unexpected conflict by minimizing its severity."

Nagumo immediately took the hard drive outside to hold a press conference.

This may be the first time the Japanese government has released official information since the Yokota bombing.

Nagumo was rambling on on stage:

"We can confirm that a Patriot Pac interceptor missile struck the aircraft..."

Therefore, the conclusion is that the Americans killed the American minister, and the case is closed.

Li Xinghe deliberately did not tell Nan Yun that there were more than eighty secretaries, entourages, and family members of high-ranking Washington officials on the plane.

So when the case was announced, calls from Washington and the embassy flooded the Self-Defense Forces and the Prime Minister's official residence. The powerful family members of high-ranking officials angrily demanded a 'fair' answer, otherwise the matter would not be over.

After being scolded for several hours, Kenichiro Nagumo returned with a long face.

"What do we do now?"

"Return it to the Prime Minister."

Li Xinghe spread his hands.

Subsequently, the White House raised official questions, and the US and Japan formed a joint investigation team to be stationed at Yokota Airport.

Li Xinghe arrived at the airport and continued to slack off.

Self-Defense Force and U.S. investigators are presenting conflicting evidence:

"Russia, are these missile components made in Russia?"

Americans shouted.

Li Xinghe glanced at it; it was a Ukrainian part.

The Japanese took out some fragments:

"This seems to be Korean script...?"

Here's a little-known fact: South Korea and North Korea use different standard scripts. Li Xinghe glanced at it; it was clearly Korean, and it didn't look like something from a bombing case—it looked like something that had just been done last night.

After a day of investigation, Li Xinghe said humorously:

"The situation is now very clear: Russia and North Korea launched Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles from Yokosuka Port in Tokyo, launching two separate attacks on a government plane flying over Tokyo. Do you really think you can just spout such nonsense?"

Isn't that utter nonsense?

North Korean and Russian warships are tracked and investigated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force even when they enter the Sea of ​​Japan. How can you say they openly launch missiles in Yokosuka Port?

Do the families of the victims in the United States think they are fools, or do they think the people of the world are fools?

Does the Maritime Self-Defense Force have ties with both North Korea and Russia?

So the first day of the investigation meeting ended there.

Knowing full well that they were the prime suspect, and that the perjury they produced was so poorly executed, the high command of the Self-Defense Forces had no choice but to go back and try to come up with another solution.

Americans know the matter will be difficult to investigate, but Washington is under immense pressure.

Li Xinghe then sat down and wrote a secret report to the White House and the Department of Defense.

This is Li Xinghe's Tokyo Investigation Report.

Li Xinghe is the perfect victim; his American fiancée was almost killed in the plane bombing, and she had just become famous in the media because of that photo of her back.

His reports are the primary standard for judgment by the White House and the Department of Defense.

Li Xinghe begins by writing:

"A specter, a specter of militarism, haunts Tokyo. It's always elusive, yet it always manages to strike at the crucial moment. What does that mean?"

Then he asked and answered himself:

"This shows that from Kenichiro Nagumo down, everyone in the Self-Defense Forces could be an anti-American militarist. They have always longed to return to the imperialist era before World War II and bully other democratic allies in Asia."

Then he deduced:

"Therefore, uncontrollable rearmament of Japan is the wrong path."

Li Xinghe's own goals were already very ambitious. In order to cover himself up and continue to maintain his influence around the Prime Minister for a longer period of time, Li Xinghe decided to further inconvenience the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and continue to bear the 'honorable name' of the biggest and most evil militaristic anti-American group.

He explained:

"The United States must clearly recognize that the Self-Defense Forces are our enemy. They have nativist tendencies. To resist China's expansion, the only way is to increase the number of troops and expand the authority of the Littoral Combat Brigade, to expand the strength and authority of the US-Japan Combined Forces Command as much as possible, and to equip the Littoral Combat Brigade with tanks, armored vehicles and helicopters, and to equip it with military forces capable of rapidly suppressing Japanese division-level units. Only then can we truly control Japan and resist China."

In short, the coastal combat brigade should never have been used for coastal operations on outlying islands, serving as cannon fodder against the Chinese army. They should have been a colonial riot control force capable of taking control of Tokyo in a single instance and simultaneously defeating three Japanese divisions.

To put it simply, Li Xinghe's report had only one core purpose:

Ministry of National Defense, grant me more authority! Send me the money!

Chapter 514: Which America Are You? (4500 words)

The Tokyo Survey Report was published without the signature of General Jacqueline.

Although the old lady had just returned to Tokyo, she wouldn't burden Li Xinghe with such a huge responsibility.

However, Li Xinghe signed the report with the name 'Joint Command' to enhance its credibility.

This article appeared at the Joint Chiefs of Staff discussion just a few hours later.

In the past, such an extremely realistic investigative document, disregarding political harmony and values, would not have been discussed at the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting. After all, the US has its own set of formal writings, and Li Xinghe's articles are sharp and completely free of such formalities. Someone like him would have been ousted from the inner circle of the US government 20 years ago and forced to live a life of quiet desperation in universities.

However, at this particular time, after receiving this document, the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not even have time to discuss its authenticity before it was printed and distributed to various commanders and officers for review.

Although the Secretary of Defense is a complete idiot appointed by Trump, the commanders are all rationally aware of one fact:

"It seems the Japanese will surrender to China before we can force them to go to war with China."

From the perspective of the United States, Japan's choice to remain neutral between the US and China, or to avoid war, is synonymous with surrendering to China.

"And what about South Korea?"

"It's hard to say. They probably wouldn't even have time to object before the Chinese army parachuted into Seoul, would they?"

The generals at the meeting couldn't understand Japan and South Korea, nor did they comprehend their social situations. However, Li Xinghe's series of actions, and the political changes in Japan and South Korea in recent years, undeniably corroborated the veracity of Li Xinghe's report:

The future transfer of hegemony in East Asia may be a peaceful, bloodless power transition. Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries will, while shouting "no," smoothly lie down and kneel before their "father." All the encirclement plans and provocative local wars set up by the United States will be nothing but illusions.

Speaking of which, the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are actually very resentful of Trump.

It was Trump who ushered in the 'Maga' era. Starting in 2016, he appointed a large number of his own people, disrupting the career advancement channels for American political, diplomatic, and military professionals, driving out a large number of talented individuals, and creating the current situation of incompetent Secretaries of State, idiotic Assistants of State, and deceitful CIA Directors. After Trump's triumphant return in 2024, the situation did not improve; on the contrary, the infighting between the right wing and white supremacists in Silicon Valley exacerbated this atmosphere.

If Hillary Clinton had taken office in 2016 and followed the old American traditions, things wouldn't have deteriorated to this extent.

Of course, the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not expect that if Trump had not come to power, they would not have been able to find a genius spy like Li Xinghe.

Since 2016, the U.S. military has firmly adhered to a strategic course of orderly withdrawal from East Asia. Their troops will continue to withdraw, leaving regional vassal states to hold the line. However, if a vassal state is the first to rebel, it will be a major headache.

The withdrawal of US troops and the use of localized wars to delay China's progress remain the basic strategic policy of the United States towards China. Therefore, if Li Xinghe could replace the Japanese government as the master of a vassal state and continue to oppose China, it would be an alternative.

time does not wait.

Following the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' suspected retaliatory missile strike against Yokota Air Base, the U.S. military must review Li Xinghe's proposal.

Should we continue to cooperate with the host country and then be driven out of Japan by the Japanese, or should we strengthen the military power of the Joint Command and create a joint army loyal to the United States that can replace the Japanese government at any time?

After internal discussions, the Joint Chiefs of Staff agreed in principle to Li Xinghe's proposal in less than half a day.

They encrypted the meeting transcript and handed it over to the National Defense Committee:
