Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"Citizens of the Republic of Korea! I am Commander-in-Chief Cho Gu-hwan of the 50th Steel Division! I have recaptured Dokdo North Island! South Korean Navy, we have arrived at Dokdo! We are prepared to live and die with Dokdo, where are you!"

Upon waking up one night, the 50-man Dokdo recapture commando team, led by Commander-in-Chief Cho Gu-hwan of the 50th Steel Division, landed on the northern part of Dokdo under cover of night and established a commando camp at the top of the island.

The South Korean people were ecstatic.

Despite his unattractive appearance and balding head, Zhao Juhuan, the leader, quickly became a nationally renowned hero.

The Japanese fishermen on the other side, especially the residents of Shimane and Yamaguchi prefectures in western Japan, were driven mad by the devastating blow of their victory.

Since we can't beat them, let's call for reinforcements.

Japanese fishermen stood on the southern island helipad of Dokdo (Takeshima) and filmed a TikTok video together. Seiichi Ōtake led a group of people who accused the Maritime Self-Defense Force: "We have been holding out on Takeshima for four days. Maritime Self-Defense Force, where are you?"

In the fishermen's eyes, Hai Zi was a typical coward who dared to do something but not to admit it. He sent people to seize the island under the guise of extremists at night, but then hid far behind the fishermen. The fishermen knew that some "soldiers" were hiding among their own people, but they just didn't know where they were.

In fact, these so-called "soldiers" were actually Zhang Da and others sent by Li Xinghe, who were constantly inciting the fishermen to continue fighting behind the scenes.

After the Korean soldiers recaptured Beidao Island, the morale of the Korean fishermen rose, while the Japanese fishermen were gradually pushed back. They had an army and warships, while we only had a large group of fishing boats behind us?

The TikTok battle begins!

Japanese fishermen have begun a frenzy of online content on TikTok, giving Japanese society, which traditionally values ​​conformity, a firsthand experience of being bombarded with videos filled with profanity and the inability of mothers and fathers to exist for more than five seconds. This near-viral outpouring of information has forced Japanese society to pay attention to the rights of fishermen.

If future generations study this period, they will be surprised to find that the most popular figures on TikTok in Japan and South Korea were actually two old men.

On the South Korean side, Commander Cho Gu-hwan has a history of scandals, from school fights to gambling and womanizing in the military. Now middle-aged, he has no achievements to show for himself, only a mountain of dark deeds, including involvement in the recent riots of the 50th and 53rd Divisions. If it weren't for this successful suicide attack, probably no one would like him.

On the Japanese side, Seiichi Ōtake is even more bizarre. A bankrupt yakuza member in his fifties, he can't afford to support his underlings, so they all live on the streets, eating instant noodles and sausages, and scavenging for a living. If he hadn't landed on Takeshima (Dokdo) claiming to be a member of the "Blood Pact Followers' Association," Japanese society would never have accepted such a loser.

The two of them standing together were like insects, evenly matched.

Zhao Guhuan's fan club was established immediately, and tens of thousands of fan aunties went crazy on Douyin with the hashtag "I want to marry Zhao Guhuan".

The Blood Pact Followers suddenly established branches throughout Japan, and their supporters, both above and below ground, openly worshipped the spirits of the assassins who participated in the assassination of high-ranking Japanese officials during the Blood Pact Incident in 1932, almost openly calling for the return of fascism.

At such a critical time, Li Xinghe was directing Fuji Media from behind the scenes to fan the flames, exercising his right-wing instincts.

"The Maritime Self-Defense Force will respond."

After four days of silence, the Maritime Self-Defense Force finally decided to respond to the Dokdo crisis.

Maritime Self-Defense Force Chief of Staff General Satoshi Saito and Deputy Chief of Staff Koji Yagi held a press conference for the public at the Contract Building in Nagata-cho, where the Ministry of Defense is located.

Reporters at the scene kept pressing for answers:

"What will Japanese Foreign Minister Shigeru Ishiba and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yeol discuss in Beijing?"

But Saito Satoshi swore:

"Talk? Talk my ass. Negotiation is the job of diplomats."

Saito Satoshi was also caught in the current predicament.

As the suspected mastermind behind the entire Dokdo recapture operation, he was both pressured by radical officers within the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force to seize the opportunity to retake Takeshima, and pressured by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet to try to quell the civilian conflict between Japan and South Korea at a time when conflict between the two countries should not have broken out.

The immense pressure from both sides, and even from the public, led Saito Satoshi, with the backing of Kenichiro Nagumo, to decide to bypass the Prime Minister's official residence and leave on his own!

He announced it himself without waiting for the Prime Minister's order:

"The Maritime Self-Defense Force is the backbone of Japan's defense. Our constitution stipulates that Japan does not possess offensive weapons, but if Japan encounters a stubborn and unreasonable invasion by another country, the Self-Defense Force will not hesitate to launch a naval war to defend its homeland!"

"Self-Defense Forces, all troops mobilize!"

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has been reorganized from four escort flotillas into three surface combat groups and one amphibious mine warfare unit. In the new organization, each surface combat group comprises one helicopter destroyer, two Aegis destroyers, and five general-purpose destroyers or frigates.

Therefore, this deployment of the Maritime Self-Defense Force involved two light aircraft carriers capable of launching and recovering F-35s, two helicopter destroyers, ten guided-missile Aegis destroyers, ten general-purpose destroyers, nearly 20 guided-missile and general-purpose frigates, and three amphibious landing ships.

What is South Korea's 666 Fleet?

The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force deployed its 101010 fleet in response!

Three surface combat groups, one amphibious combat group, and several destroyers from local fleets—as the Maritime Self-Defense Force set sail from Tokyo Bay, traversing the Seto Inland Sea and the Shimonoseki Strait, fishermen from western Japan cheered and followed the fleet to the waters off Dokdo.

Japan and South Korea, two major military powers that are among the best in the world, have started a naval standoff on a worthless island. More than 60 advanced naval vessels, hundreds of missiles, and fighter jets flying overhead have made the fishermen from both sides increasingly violent when they fight.

This scene was incomprehensible not only to Japan and South Korea, but also to China, and even more so to Americans.

They anxiously pressed for answers on television, in newspapers, and in internal seminars:

"Are they crazy?"

Chinese netizens are going crazy watching the show, jumping around and cheering wildly on YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Telegram, and Ratnet:

"Hit him, hit his mother!"

"well played!"

"The sticks beat the Japanese devils to death, the Japanese devils beat the sticks to death, how pleasant that sounds!"

Chapter 523: De-urbanization in Japan and South Korea, Letting the Flames Rise (4900 words)

5 month 9 day.

The South Korean Navy is positioned west of Dokdo, while the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is present east of Dokdo.

Fishermen from Japan and South Korea have become fiercely competitive over the two islands, Dokdo and Dokdo, engaging in violent clashes in the sea, using iron bars, steel forks, and oars to strike each other's heads.

When Cho Gu-hwan publicly revealed his identity as the commander of the 50th Steel Division, the South Korean army truly used him to the fullest extent, sending the 50th Division, which had committed the gang rape in Daegu, to the vicinity of Dokdo via amphibious assault troops. They ordered the soldiers to take off their uniforms, lay down their weapons, and disguise themselves as civilians to rush onto the island and fight the Japanese army with melee weapons.

As a national hero, Zhao Juhuan was promoted from regimental commander to deputy division commander on the spot, in charge of leading a local militia fighting.

The Steel Division, having just committed a large-scale gang rape, dared not resist, but protested to the military headquarters:

"At least let us have enough to eat, right?"

Military response:

"You'll be full!"

Then, as was customary, the soldiers' meals were outsourced to a catering company recently opened by a relative of a general in Gangwon Province. So, when the soldiers returned from half a day of fighting on the shore of Dokdo, they were still greeted with bean sprouts soaked in swill and a lump of cold rice.

The soldiers were furious and made videos on Douyin (TikTok) criticizing the military for deducting even this small amount of money.

Then the military sent them a steady stream of expired small bread rolls from Lotte Mart's clearance sale. Although they couldn't afford fancy meals, they had plenty of expired small bread rolls. Besides, they didn't need to eat meat while fighting on Dokdo; the Japanese could eat their fill of fist meat.

This is definitely enough to fill us up.

In the end, it was South Korean fishermen who caught fish on the spot and delivered raw fish rice to the South Korean soldiers fighting on the island, which brought Zhao Gu-hwan to tears on the spot.

"Damn it, the military is inhuman."

That brother-in-law who forced him to go to the island was no human being either.

If the South Korean military is like this, then the Maritime Self-Defense Force is not much different.

As a pair of "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks" in Northeast Asia, both armies were known for their insufficiency in terms of food.

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force faces an even more complex problem. Because it lacks amphibious forces and local divisions like those in South Korea capable of fighting on islands, it has no choice but to rely on its neighbor, the Ground Self-Defense Force. However, ordinary Ground Self-Defense Force soldiers are unwilling to come in and get punched. They're often underfed, and what if they collapse from hypoglycemia after a couple of punches?

The South Korean military is at least a unified military force, while the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are a loosely organized group with numerous factions and a lack of coordination among the army, navy, and air force.

In the end, with nothing but passion, Saito Satoshi and Yagi Koji could only turn to their old friend, Li Xinghe, for help.

"Dude, anyone here?"

"Have!"

While in the hospital, Li Xinghe, through the Sumiyoshi-kai, introduced Saito Sato to a group of Kansai yakuza, hiring thugs to fight on Dokdo.

While fighting, the thugs also rantd on Douyin (TikTok).

"Where is the 3.5-ton patrol boat?"

"Has our esteemed Ambassador Ram forgotten that he stole two 3.5-ton ships from Japan?"

The Japanese have always harbored a mysterious desire for massive warships.

Having built the largest battleships and aircraft carriers during World War II, they are now eager to see the legendary 3.5-ton coast guard vessel crush the South Korean coast guard vessel on the other side.

With the Blood Oath supporters increasing a hundredfold, the mobilization of gangsters means the mobilization of Blood Oath assassins.

"Hand over the ship right now, or we'll trade our lives for yours!" The assassin's supporters had already threatened to copy the killings.

So on May 10, under immense pressure from the public and the Self-Defense Forces, Ambassador Ram was surrounded and chased by far-right crowds at the embassy entrance. They grabbed his clothes and beat him hard. The poor 68-year-old white-haired man was almost stripped naked by the 50-year-old Japanese man, Lao Deng.

The right-wing lunatics chased after Ram, hurling insults at him:

"You are the mastermind behind the chaos in Japan! You provoked the Dokdo conflict! You even seized our 7-ton coast guard patrol vessel!"

It's one thing if only the right wing is criticizing them, but left-wing communists and environmental and peace-loving Green Party fighters also appeared very quickly, chasing them down here immediately.

The insults they hurled at Ram were not much different:

"You traitorous lackey of Japan! You are an utterly heinous war-making machine, you deserve to be beaten to death!"

The far left and far right together wielded an iron fist against the Americans, leaving Ram and his entourage howling in pain.

Ram, after all, was a professional elite bureaucrat. When the guards at the gate rushed to his rescue, Ram returned to the embassy in his underwear and even had the mind to joke around:

"If I hadn't been scolded like this today, I wouldn't have known that the far left and far right in Japan are so rampant. The Communists and Nazis have already reached within 10 meters of the embassy."

The atmosphere at the embassy was very tense.

As the Dokdo/Takeshima sovereignty crisis between Japan and South Korea escalates to a stalemate, the U.S. State Department is at a loss and can only continue to exert pressure on them.

"Those two ships..."

Major General Moiz mentioned it.

What was the response from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces?

"They won't answer our calls."

This shows that Kenichiro Nagumo has absconded and is no longer honoring the alliance with him.

Ambassador Ram took off his tattered trousers, and with them, he shed his obsessions:

"Let it be, I made a huge mistake. Even a fatal one."

Then he rushed to the airport, flew back to the United States, and announced his resignation, taking responsibility for the sovereignty crisis between Japan and South Korea.

Just kidding, I'm already 68 years old. If I were killed by the Japanese in Tokyo, it would be a historical joke.

Thus, the last brake on the Dokdo sovereignty crisis was also thwarted by Li Xinghe's plan, forcing him to flee.

……

Thus, these two unfinished hulls, which were funded by the U.S. Defense Commission and intended for light aircraft conversion, with command temporarily in Lamb's hands, were sent to the front lines of the Dokdo standoff by Lamb as a symbol of coast guard authority in the eyes of the far right.

The US ambassador's escape signals the complete failure of US intervention in Northeast Asia.

Fishermen, armed groups posing as fishermen, coast guard, and navy (JMSDF) members engaged in a standoff in the waters around Dokdo.

The border conflict on Dokdo has now officially escalated into a 'Dokdo sovereignty crisis'.

In the new media era, even a small conflict can be amplified online at any time, not to mention serious issues like territorial disputes that are not easily resolved.

Therefore, the Dokdo/Takeshima conflict has, in a sense, ceased to be a border clash and has become a magical online battle centered around TikTok, Twitter, various social media platforms, and television media. It is a self-fulfilling spiral where politically conscious netizens from Japan and South Korea engage in a frenzy of online attacks, forcing their respective troops to the front lines and forcing the situation to escalate.

From the perspective of public opinion control, the reason why the main forces of the two navies confronted each other on Dokdo is essentially because the government was unable to control public opinion, allowing the pressure on its own citizens to escalate to the point of explosion, like having a bayonet in its back. The residents of Mio fought in the arena, and when they couldn't win, they resorted to cyberbullying, forcing their own navy to continuously intervene.

In this situation, the professional negotiations of off-site diplomatic bureaucrats have lost their effectiveness.

Therefore, the Japanese Cabinet Office began anxiously seeking solutions.

After searching high and low, they finally found Lee Sung-ha, who had already been to South Korea.

The cabinet aide called him and summoned him to a meeting.

In response to the government's appeal, Li Xinghe sincerely said:

"My daughter just gave birth, I really don't have time."

He really doesn't have time.

Just two days ago, Sasaki Toya left the delivery room. With her androgynous, beautiful supermodel figure, and the socially awkward Fuji Hinako, everyone assumed they were a couple living together. Surely they couldn't still be living in a curry shop, could they?

So the two women temporarily stayed at the former site of the Ma family in Kichijoji, the same place where Li Xinghe and Fuji Rie lived when Li Xinghe first arrived in Tokyo.

But these two women are acting strangely. Li Xinghe needs to take care of the children closely while also preventing them from having conflicts with his family, so he is looking for a better house everywhere.

At this point, the leadership team, eager to bring him back to the Cabinet Office, had no choice but to call him personally.
