Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

As Zhao Lieshu linked arms with Li Xinghe and entered the building from the underground parking lot, a kind-looking, round-faced old man and a middle-aged man with a round face stood in the lobby to welcome Li Xinghe.

"Our Yi Sun-sin is back!"

The head of the intelligence agency, Zhao Taiyong, was from the Zhao clan of Pyongyang. He welcomed Li Xinghe with great enthusiasm.

The man next to him is Hong Jang-won, the first deputy director of the South Korean International Intelligence Service, who is in charge of international intelligence and is Lee Sung-ha's direct superior.

Hello, hello.

Lee Sung-ha switched to Korean, as if he were a native Korean.

"You've finally arrived. Time is of the essence, let's get started quickly."

Zhao Taiyong led Li Xinghe inside.

Of course, they didn't start working right away; they first took Li Xinghe to visit the memorial wall.

We also have to recite the departmental motto:

"We walk in darkness to serve the light."

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was Assassin's Creed.

Not only do they have to recite the creed, but they also have to look at the large portraits of all the former intelligence chiefs. If the previous history hadn't been hidden, Li Xinghe would have seen names like Kim Jong-jin, Kim Jae-gyu, Chun Doo-hwan, Yoo Hak-sung, and Jang Se-dong, names that are enough to make anyone laugh just by seeing them.

Indeed, Chun Doo-hwan also concurrently managed this department, responsible for monitoring any unusual movements of his own troops. If a coup d'état that overthrew the provisional government is treason, then Chun Doo-hwan's concurrent career was a complete mess of crimes; he simply couldn't control himself.

"It's truly enormous," Li Xinghe exclaimed.

It was supposed to be praise, but it was actually a calculation.

As an intelligence agency with over 6 employees, 39 overseas intelligence stations, 13 of which are secretly deployed in China, Japan, and North Korea, and annual expenditures exceeding 1 trillion won, the National Intelligence Service is clearly in a state of poverty, characterized by a large number of personnel, tight budgets, reliance on guesswork for operations, and a complete lack of funds for fuel when deploying troops.

What level of funding is this? If calculated based on South Korea's per capita income, even if the entire budget of the National Intelligence Service were used to pay employee salaries, it wouldn't be enough. The $200 million in tax-free profits that Lee Sung-ha secretly made from selling rice alone could reach one-third of the department's budget. Therefore, the so-called 60,000 employees are mostly temporary, part-time workers from the lower rungs of society; their abilities and loyalty are highly questionable.

Therefore, South Koreans shouldn't blame the National Intelligence Service for constantly releasing false intelligence. Their daily performance evaluation consists of sitting at their desks, fabricating outrageous articles about North Korea to submit. With such a limited budget, it's barely enough for everyone to eat instant noodles every day, so don't expect a kimchi-filled state banquet.

After visiting the memorial wall, it was a pity that we didn't see Chun Doo-hwan. It was time to award the medal to Lee Sung-ha.

Zhao Taiyong personally presided over the ceremony, awarding Li Xinghe the title of intelligence affairs officer and the military rank of major, which is the fifth level in South Korea's nine-level civil service system.

"Next, you will be the station chief of Tokyo Station in South Korea, responsible for establishing our intelligence agency."

Zhao Taiyong then handed over new power to Li Xinghe.

However, because the department was short of money, the power that Li Xinghe actually had was to mobilize cheap and easy-to-use K-pop idols, whether to provide sexual services for himself or to provide sexual services for others. Doxxing was the cheapest option.

After hastily completing the formalities, Zhao Taiyong impatiently led Li Xinghe and his wife to the intelligence room:

"Come on, let's talk about what exactly happened in the Dokdo incident."

This is an explanation that the National Intelligence Service must give to Congress.

"This whole affair was essentially instigated by the Americans. We can be certain that the US ambassador orchestrated all of this; he took away the 3.5-ton coast guard vessel and fled back to the United States today..."

The room was filled with dozens of clerks, all listening to Li Xinghe's story and pondering how to weave a narrative.

It seems the entire National Intelligence Service is starving, waiting for Lee Sung-ha to bring back information to cook. This makes him wonder if these intelligence-writing civil servants are also writing third-rate Korean web novels on the side.

Or conversely, it could be that third-rate online novelists come to the intelligence agency every day to fabricate false negative stories about the general, such as rumors about the execution of internet-addicted teenagers.

Li Xinghe suddenly guessed a fact.

Is tonight the deadline given by the South Korean National Assembly to the National Intelligence Service for today's submission, and will the author's fee be deducted if today's update is not delivered?

……

After leaving the intelligence agency, Lee Sung-ha's story had been embellished by the South Koreans and then submitted to the National Assembly.

In Li Xinghe's view, the Dokdo crisis exposed both the South Korean military's laxity and carelessness in its defense, as well as the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' complete lack of combat readiness and incompetence.

At the same time, it is also a test of the true capabilities of South Korea's intelligence system.

The result is that they lack ability.

We're all novelists, and we mainly rely on our mental rehearsals to gather intelligence.

As Li Xinghe was about to leave, Hong Zhuangyuan stopped him:

"Yinhe, how can a grown man go home at 10 p.m.? Come on, let's go for a drink."

“Your Excellency, I…”

In front of Zhao Lieshu, Zhao Taiyong and Hong Zhuangyuan were not in a position to say anything directly, but they still subtly invited Zhao Lieshu back to the riverside hotel.

Then they dragged Li Xinghe into a nightclub in Jiangnan and mingled with a bunch of female celebrities.

On the surface, Li Xinghe did not refuse, but fearing that he would be held accountable, he secretly sent a message to Li Juyan.

Back at the hotel, upon learning that Li Xinghe hadn't returned, Li Juyan whispered to Zhao Lieshu, "Based on my guess, they're probably taking Brother to a nightclub in Gangnam District."

Zhao Lieshu immediately became alert.

Nightclub?

The existence of celebrity nightclubs in Gangnam, South Korea, has been proven by the numerous suicides of female K-pop stars in various poses.

If it were innocent, respectable women following Li Xinghe, that would be one thing, but how could these women be allowed to get involved?

She hurriedly drove with Lee Ju-yeon to look for him, and sure enough, they found Lee Sung-ha being hugged by several women in a famous nightclub in Gangnam.

"Hey! You vixen, get out of here!"

Zhao Lieshu rushed in, chased away the Korean star, and helped Li Xinghe back to the hotel.

Slightly tipsy, Li Xinghe got into Zhao Lieshu's car after leaving the nightclub.

As soon as he got in the car, Li Xinghe woke up.

"She wasn't drunk." Zhao Lieshu spilled the vinegar bottle.

Li Xinghe kissed Zhao Lieshu's nose, teasingly remarking:

"Of course not. How could I ask you to be my hero if I wasn't drunk?"

"Tch. Anyway, from now on, if you want to order any female celebrity, you can just make a phone call and they'll have to fly from Seoul to Tokyo," Zhao Lieshu complained, trying to hide her flushed face.

Cars are driving on the bridge.

It would be a waste of such a good opportunity for Li Xinghe to come to Seoul for the first time and not to blow something up.

He reaffirmed that there were not many troops in downtown Seoul.

South Korea has two operational commands. The First Command, with the call sign Vanguard, is located in Yongin City, while the main force around Seoul is the Capital Security Forces. However, specifically in downtown Seoul, there aren't many troops; the ROK-US Combined Forces Command and the Presidential Palace are located there. Slightly closer is the 1st Security Regiment, formed from the 30th and 33rd Security Regiments, stationed at the Blue House. Further out, there's the First Air Force, located east of Gimpo Airport.

Li Xinghe suddenly said.

"I have decided to launch an attack on the South Korean National Assembly today."

"what?"

Zhao Lieshu and Li Juyan were both stunned.

"Don't rush, we still have our own little circle."

To put it bluntly, this small circle consists of Chinese people.

Whether it's the millions of Chinese in Tokyo or the 300,000 in Seoul, thanks to the mainland's powerful technological capabilities, they have formed a very complete Chinese ecosystem overseas through apps like WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Taobao, and Alipay. A Chinese person can be completely unaware of any foreign language; as long as they know how to use WeChat, they can use Chinese apps in overseas Chinese communities to hail a taxi, find a place to eat, rent an apartment, and find a job.

"You mean, let our compatriots in Seoul use Chinese software..." Zhao Lieshu understood.

South Koreans may have a milder reaction, but the Japanese are actually quite upset about it. After all, there is a large Chinese population in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

But there was nothing we could do.

Because underdeveloped countries lacking technological advantages are helpless against an ecosystem entirely built by Chinese software. They cannot overcome the natural barrier of the Chinese language, nor can they monitor the economic interactions generated by these software programs—whether taxes are paid, how much tax is paid, or whether smuggling is occurring.

A Chinese person originating from Fujian or Jilin, from worshipping Mazu and the Three Immortals to boarding a smuggling boat and settling in a Chinatown to work and live, is a force that the Japanese and South Korean governments can only watch helplessly. They can clearly see them, but they simply cannot trace them. Sometimes they can't even manage their own software, because even the software developed and operated by Japanese and South Korean companies is often outsourced to companies in Qingdao, Shandong.

Europe, even more acutely aware of this situation than Japan and South Korea, was actually among the first to be hit. Faced with the onslaught of countless American software programs, European countries were powerless to do anything, unable even to intervene in the data collected by these programs. They could only resort to issuing fines to extract money, while simultaneously being secretly monitored by the United States.

This is the advantage of advanced technology.

"I'll operate it."

Li Xinghe first ordered two drones using a local Chinese-language app. After they were delivered within 30 minutes, he contacted local North Korean circles through Nan Haonu and obtained the bombs. Then, using a Chinese-language ride-hailing app, he arranged for two drivers to deliver the boxes containing the drones to a grove of trees near the South Korean National Assembly.

The whole process took less than 2 hours.

The National Assembly of South Korea is located on Yeouido Island, in the middle of the Han River, which is gradually merging with the Gangnam region.

This building has effectively become the new administrative core of South Korea, because the president is always unable to be elected, so the National Assembly and the various ministers who come and go have become the de facto rulers of South Korea.

So, less than half a day after Lee Sung-ha arrived in Seoul, two drones carrying bombs stormed into the South Korean National Assembly.

Boom!

Black smoke billowed through the night, and the sound of explosions echoed across both sides of the river.

Although the damage is not high, the humiliation is extremely strong.

Wherever Li Xinghe went, an explosion occurred.

Of course, on the surface, Lee Sung-ha was still far away at the Busan Peace Forum, so the Japanese government could not verify the situation there. The South Korean intelligence agency did not even know how many mothers Lee Sung-ha had, let alone his glorious (explosive) past.

Lee Sung-ha then used a drone to drop a manuscript containing a mix of Chinese proverbs reminiscent of the 50s at the scene, adding to South Korea's sense of empathy with Japan's experiences over the past two years.

"The Movement for the Return of Korea to its Dependent State Addresses the People of the Republic of Korea: The wicked and corrupt puppet colonial government is showing its signs of exhaustion. The so-called Dokdo crisis is truly the result of the evil instigation of the Americans. It is said that when the thieves landed on the island, they used the American Navy flag. Why does the Ministry of National Defense remain silent? Therefore, it is clear that the puppet South Korean government, plagued by political chaos and internal strife, is blind and deaf, remaining completely silent. If all South Korean capital flees to the United States, the wealth of South Koreans will be completely plundered. People, stand up! Drive out the foolish members of parliament and rebuild a great Korea that belongs to the people! — Liu Bianlong, Xiyashan Man."

Li Xinghe delivered a hidden dunk here.

The flag used by Koichiro Osamu when he landed on the island was a flag used exclusively by the U.S. Navy. Clearly, the group that landed on the island was not simply a JMSDF agent in disguise, but rather a U.S. military agent personally involved in the operation.

So what exactly happened in the Dokdo incident?

Is the US trying to sow discord?

Why isn't the South Korean National Assembly speaking out? Why isn't the Ministry of National Defense saying anything?

Overnight, Seoul erupted in celebration once again.

The author says:

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. Here's 4900 words. Still not quite done? The next chapter will be even more explosive.

The time between the Capitol bombing and returning to the Hamilton Hotel was actually quite short.

Back home, both Lee Ju-yeon and Seon Ji-hwa, who were both very tired and in poor health, quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Lieshu stroked her younger sister's face and scolded Li Xinghe:

"Ju Yan is a normal, good girl. How long are you going to make her wait like this?"

"What?"

Li Xinghe hesitated for a moment, so he didn't dare to face Li Daiyao and Li Juyan directly. Now, hearing Zhao Lieshu say this, he couldn't help but hug Zhao Lieshu from behind: "You don't want to play some exciting games, do you?"

"Who asked you to mess around... Hmph, that's right, if you're so capable, then love me in front of Ju Yan."

Just as Zhao Lieshu was about to speak, she noticed Li Juyan's eyes trembling slightly, and she couldn't help but want to tease her. In front of Li Juyan's bed, she took off her nightgown.

"Hey, you said it yourself."

Li Xinghe felt extremely excited, as if he had bombed the National Assembly. He actually held Zhao Lieshu down, making her face the sleeping Ju Yan, and thrust into her hot garden from behind.

Poor Lee Ju-yeon, she had just fallen asleep when her brother and sister-in-law played with her like this. Helplessly, she stared wide-eyed as Zhao Lie-shu's breasts swayed back and forth in front of her.

Sweating profusely, Zhao Lieshu hugged Li Juyan tightly, kissing her flushed cheeks, then turned to Li Xinghe and complained:

"Next time, let's invite those female celebrities who are currently very popular online and have pretty little butts over."

Li Xinghe ran along the smooth flower path while taking care of her dazed state:

"You don't like those women, do you?"

In her moment of lust and infatuation, Zhao Lieshu also began to spout nonsense:

"It's nothing, just having them serve us. I also really enjoy looking at young butts. They have to kneel naked by the bed, greet us when we get up in the morning, help us get dressed when we go out, and only wear a small apron when cooking."

Then, in this fantasy, Zhao Lieshu felt herself becoming extremely sensitive.

Li Xinghe also noticed that Zhao Lieshu, who seemed to be a well-behaved lady, was very happy when talking about these scenes, and even made him unable to help but release.

The scene described by Zhao Lieshu was actually partly based on bullying scenes in South Korean girls' high schools, and partly a mix of scenes from the erotic comics she had read.
