Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

When the march turned into a riot, the prefectural police chief stationed on the island, being from Osaka, actually shouted at the Okinawans:

"Shut up, you Chinese!"

This undisguised and disrespectful discriminatory term clearly reflects the disgust and discrimination that the Japanese people of mainland Japan have towards the people of Okinawa. Many Japanese people directly regard them as Chinese, or even inferior Chinese, placing them on the same level as Koreans and people of Korean descent.

This sentence caused an uproar throughout Okinawa Prefecture.

Hundreds of thousands of people participated in the rally and protest, determined to overthrow the U.S. military and the county sheriff.

Despite the crisis escalating to this point, Okinawan officials have surprisingly adopted a passive stance, and some are even quite pleased.

Go ahead and curse, make a scene. The Prime Minister has already resigned, and nominally no one in Japan is in charge now. Do you think you can demolish the Japanese government and US military bases?

The entire county began to descend into disorder.

An international NGO called the Okinawa Independence Foundation was established. The CIA personally organized the personnel, and everything from the organization's name to its staff was completed overnight. The Tokyo Special Activities Bureau took the lead in guiding the people of Okinawa to carry out anti-government civilian mobilization.

As a global tourist hotspot, the slow-moving Okinawan government failed to realize the consequences of the large influx of overseas Japanese.

These Japanese, backed by the CIA, began enthusiastically promoting their cause in the area, gradually distributing leaflets to Okinawans where anti-American and anti-Japanese sentiment was running high.

"Okinawa should be independent! Form an anti-colonial delegation and take this to the United Nations!"

“Okinawa can become independent if it can get approval from the United Nations. We are the painful orphans who have been colonized by Japan for 120 years. It’s time for us to go our own way.”

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, the new generation of women, Eina and Mio, began their promotional plan for the Okinawa Independence Foundation according to the schedule.

Another group of ground promotion personnel left the US military base and began conducting economic promotion activities among the local people of Okinawa:

"Invest in Okinawa Independent Funds and get a guaranteed 50% return on your 1000 yen investment after six months!"

"We are the Okinawa Peace and Independence Alliance. Invest in us and let's get into the United Nations together. If we win, we'll give you a 100-1000% return. Even if we fail, we guarantee a 150% refund. Win or lose, you'll make money. Sign up and join us!"

Under the invisible hand of the CIA, the propaganda tools for a color revolution were quickly put in place.

It is far superior to the great Eastern power.

Li Xinghe then turned to the calendar for the new day:

"The countdown to the day of Ryukyu's independence begins."

The author says:

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. Here's 5100 words. When it comes to color revolutions, the CIA is the expert.

Chapter 568: The US Army Has Always Been a Herbivore Army! (3900 words)

You can question the CIA's conscience, but you cannot question its ability to participate in color revolutions.

They have a rigorous, multi-layered framework for the Yan Ge (a political maneuvering organization), clearly outlining everything from creating conflict to sensationalizing news and inciting hatred.

Externally, the NGO is inciting populism and escalating conflicts; internally, the US military is cooperating, with tens of millions of cameras storing one case after another of sexual assault, beatings, and abuse cases being exposed one after another. The CIA is constantly handing knives to the media behind the scenes, provoking military-civilian tensions in Okinawa.

The small-scale "Ryukyu Kingdom Martial Arts School" received more than 2300 training applications in one day. It urgently borrowed manpower from brother units and rented a US military base near the US military base to carry out anti-American military mobilization.

New generation woman Huina reports:

"More than 6000 people have joined our Ryukyu independence plan."

The project's initial goal was to collect 10 donations, but it now appears poised to exceed 30, which would mean that families across Okinawa would participate.

Li Xinghe is at the helm of this independent conspiracy:

"Now, begin preparing an anti-colonial delegation to the United Nations. Summon overseas Ryukyuans to gather in Hawaii and fly directly to New York to petition the United Nations for independence. The CIA will arrange a city march and demonstration for them, making it a front-page headline in the New York Times."

He was strategizing and planning from the headquarters, so of course some people would cause him trouble.

Lieutenant General Roger B. Turner of the Third Expeditionary Force flew overnight from Kadena Air Base to Tokyo to confront Commander Aoyama.

General Jacqueline has flown to New Zealand for vacation, and the headquarters is now in the hands of Li Xinghe and Ayman, that despicable couple.

"Hey kids, what's wrong with you? Do you even know the strategic importance of Okinawa?"

Lieutenant General Roger pushed open the door and angrily denounced Li Xinghe as mentally ill.

Li Xinghe used only one sentence to turn the tables on Roger:

Is Okinawa Island important?

"what?"

As a typical white male general, Lieutenant General Roger was almost driven mad by this kid, and his face flushed an unnatural red with anger.

Is this the kind of question a human being should ask?

If Okinawa isn't important, is the Aoyama base more important?

Li Xinghe casually pulled a Marine Corps document from his office cabinet:

"Now, let's review the hypothetical scenario of a full-scale war against China in 2026, which also includes your name. First, China would use a large number of naval and civilian vessels to attack oil tankers at the US naval base in Subic Bay, Philippines, forcing them to flee to Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. Meanwhile, my country would deploy its Marine Corps to Diego Garcia in India, Guam, and the Mariana Islands."

The archipelago is preparing for island defense operations. Then, China will use global cargo ships to block the Suez and Panama Canals, lay mines in the Red Sea to force Egypt and Panama to maintain absolute neutrality. Simultaneously, it will assemble a four-carrier main fleet and head towards Hawaii. Do you see what Okinawa has to do with this?

Lieutenant General Roger was stunned.

Isn't this the little story they made up two years ago about begging for money and crying poverty?

In this latest hypothetical full-scale war between the US and China, China would mobilize its global civilian shipping fleet and maritime militia, while simultaneously blockading major canals to force US allies to remain neutral. China would then use container ships, drones, and missiles to arm civilian vessels and launch attacks on US military bases. Simultaneously, China would activate spyware installed on all cargo ships manufactured in Chinese shipyards to report the location of US fleets globally, and its active global militia fishing vessels would launch suicide drone attacks on US aircraft carriers, crippling several nuclear-powered carriers.

The first island chain is already on the verge of collapse, and Japan and South Korea will be directly blockaded by China. Therefore, the Pentagon has directly placed the pre-planned battlefields in Guam, Hawaii, and the Mariana Islands.

They believe the scenario will replicate the Pearl Harbor attack, with China's four main aircraft carrier fleet launching a "Tora! Tora! Tora!" attack in the waters near Hawaii or Guam, striking American military fortifications and breaching the Pacific Ocean.

The US military will then gradually retreat, using a nine-stage gradual reduction and interception operation to open a pocket along the Pacific coast and destroy China's main fleet.

The most ridiculous thing is that even in this flawed hypothetical total war, the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs of Staff acknowledged China's terrifying power on global social media. They believed that China would incite global anti-war forces to attack European and American governments, incite anti-government and anti-war forces in the United States to storm ports of the U.S. Marine Corps and Coast Guard, burn U.S. warships, tanks and artillery, and storm and occupy local U.S. governments, paralyzing the entire United States.

In their view, TikTok and Xiaohongshu are monstrous threats, while the American people, exploited by the pharmaceutical industry and financial capital, are like mechanical soldiers manipulated by Yuri's mind, destined to roam the US like zombies, attacking military bases, ships, and government departments, and becoming the North American branch of the Chinese Communist Party.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff never even considered that these civilians would support the government. Perhaps they also knew that the government had been inhumane for decades.

Even the Chinese side probably didn't expect that social media would be so terrifying to the United States, almost paralyzing the entire country.

Li Xinghe refuted Roger's question using documents that Roger had helped draft.

He stood up and smiled in the simple office:

"In other words, is the Marine Corps really that important? If Chinese merchant ships all over the world adopt drone container solutions and militia ships blockade the supply chains of coastal islands, can the Marine Corps' coastal operations plan succeed? Therefore, you and I both know that Okinawa is not important, the Third Expeditionary Force is not important, Guam and Hawaii are the most important."

Li Xinghe's probing questions left Lieutenant General Roger B. Turner speechless.

Is it important?

Important my foot.

The Marine Corps is of no importance.

In the latest operational guidelines, the Marine Corps will abandon tanks, artillery, and air support units, and transform into coastal warfare regiments on a large scale. Using drones, portable missiles, and MRE (Military Rescue Equipment) rations, they will advance to small islands in disputed areas between China and the United States, using their physical strength as a shield to contain and strike Chinese fleets.

To put it bluntly, it's similar to the island garrison forces Japan deployed on Iwo Jima and Okinawa during World War II. The Marines, with their "militaristic spirit of sacrificing themselves for the American Emperor," were to fight the Chinese fleet to the bitter end in tunnels, rainforests, and waterholes. The US military believed that as long as the Marines displayed the same spirit as the Japanese army during World War II, they could fight to the bitter end.

The Pentagon had no plans to prepare for the Marines' evacuation, nor did it consider how to rescue them or deliver supplies. They simply gave them an amphibious assault ship and left them to fend for themselves on the disputed islands.

This was just a plan; in reality, even these dilapidated ships were delayed and could not be built because the officials embezzled too much.

They were willing to sacrifice themselves for the country, but the officials had no interest in letting them die and wasting their pensions.

The old general was furious.

But when faced with the person in charge of the money, the veteran could only plead in a low voice:

"But...but you can't deduct two-thirds of the military budget, can you?"

Li Xinghe remained cold and indifferent.

"That's a problem with the Indo-Pacific Command not assisting you with the relocation, and it has nothing to do with the U.S. forces stationed in Japan. Our annual budget has already removed the two regiments that are being relocated."

The Marines are just a bunch of cannon fodder, a human shield in the hands of the Pentagon in Washington.

Therefore, they have no bargaining power.

However, Li Xinghe offered Roger a new option:

"Of course, General Turner, if you'd like to do me a favor, I can recommend you to President Trump and ask him to reserve your next job. Perhaps a promotion to the European theater? Or perhaps a return to the Americas to enjoy a leisurely and comfortable life? You know, President Trump has always been good to his own people."

The sudden turn of events caught the old man off guard.

"What...what kind of help?"

Li Xinghe was directly and frankly honest:

"Let them starve, let them go crazy, let them lose their order. Let them turn Okinawa into a point of contention."

Roger couldn't believe it:

"The point of contention?"

Li Xinghe tapped the East China Sea map on his back:

"The point of conflict".

The problem now falls on Roger B. Turner.

Do you want to remain commander of the Third Expeditionary Force for another six months and then be kicked out, or do you want to win a high-ranking position and generous salary from Trump before he leaves office?

In reality, purely considering the outcome, Roger had to choose the high-ranking position and generous salary, because even if he chose to persist, he still wouldn't get the military funding.

However, the old man still made one last effort:

"If two-thirds of their military funding is cut off all at once, they'll starve to death..."

Regardless of the facts, the U.S. military has ample funding.

But in reality, the Third Expeditionary Force of the Ryukyu Marines is almost receiving the same treatment as the South Korean Army and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

Can it be cut any further?

Even if the soldiers are supposed to eat dirt, they need to have some dirt, right?

Li Xinghe, as a SPPC director of the rank of colonel, severely criticized General Roger's rich young master's ideas:

"Lieutenant General Roger B. Turner, I must solemnly remind you that the U.S. Army has always been a herbivorous army with an iron will!"

He emphasized:

“They’re not stupid. They’ll find a way to get food on their own. They can eat for free from Okinawa residents, eat at community canteens for free, buy things for free, resell guns and ammunition, sell their blood, pawn their clothes, etc. Society provides them with so many resources and ways of life. Would they let them go hungry?”

In his 2026 Marine Corps manifesto, Roger B. Turner lamented, in every word, that the Navy and Army lacked the will to fight, and were unwilling to sacrifice 50% or 30% of their forces to fight China to the death. He believed that coastal combat regiments should be established, with Marines taking the lead and facing China head-on, followed by other units joining forces. However, he later found the Navy, Army, and Air Force sidelined, standing on the shore watching as he sacrificed his life. The Army wasn't buying tanks, the Navy's ships were grounded, and missile development was a complete disaster—it felt like the sky had fallen.

Just as Li Xinghe uses his 2026 self to oppose his 2028 self.

This year, he has also betrayed the person he was two years ago.

He mumbled something:

"Okay. But I hope... I hope..."

It's very simple; I just want some recognition.

Li Xinghe immediately gave Turner Trump's granddaughter's private number, telling him to contact Trump himself.

After making a phone call, General Turner returned with a complicated expression:

"You've made me so angry I'm going to Hawaii to recover."

Li Xinghe took out two bags containing $5 each from the drawer.

He placed it in General Turner's hand: "Have a pleasant journey."

Upon seeing the advance payment, General Turner's expression improved slightly:

I wish you all the best in your plans.

The Third Expeditionary Force probably didn't expect that its commander would go to Tokyo to question his superiors, only to be immediately taken to a hospital in Hawaii for treatment on the grounds of "illness," while the Indo-Pacific Command commander urged them to move the Marines from Okinawa to Hawaii and Guam.

Now everyone is leaderless and short of funds. The funds for 5000 people have to be used to maintain 1.4 soldiers. Okinawa has been artificially created into a predicament where military spending is extremely tight and salaries cannot be paid. Those with connections will find ways to escape, and those without connections will learn to dine and dash.

Anyway, there are over a million Okinawans outside. Even if each family only eats for one day, it's enough for them to survive until next year.

As for the ensuing social unrest, the United States simply ignored it.

Li Xinghe picked up the phone and called his good friends:

“Maria, in the name of the U.S. Embassy in Japan, officially block the media and prohibit major Japanese media outlets from reporting on what is happening on Okinawa.”

“Reiji and Aimi, tell the CEO of Fuji Holdings that the Japanese media industry needs to learn to reflect on itself and ban all Okinawa-related terms that appear in the news.”
