Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

I sincerely apologize for the delay in your reading experience. Here's a report on last month: I updated a total of 288,000 words in January, averaging 9600 words per day, which is almost 10,000 words per day. After entertaining relatives today, I will focus on updating more in February.

Chapter 577: Female Emperor Socialism, Trump's Choice of 'Or' (3200 words)

"Princess Kako, please look this way."

On Ie Island, amidst a sea of ​​blooming lilies, Princess Kako, as beautiful as a peach blossom, seems intoxicated by the spring breeze. Dressed in a traditional long dress that blends Han and Japanese styles, she walks slowly through the flowers. Behind her is an atypical set of props and scenery, a mix of Japanese architecture and Fujian-style archways.

On the other side of the flower field, on the concrete road of the harbor, Haru and Nozomi Sasaki, dressed in modern women's suits with their long hair tied behind their ears, engage in a historical and cultural collision with Princess Kako, who is dressed in ancient attire, representing modern urban women.

The film crew pushed the camera, panning it to film the meeting of the three women.

The announcer reads aloud on the spot:

"This is a question we all have to answer: should we choose the East or the West?"

Because of Japan's postwar original sins, the Orientalism adopted here is clearly a composite of multiple cultures.

Just like Princess Kako's long dress, it has obvious Hanfu elements, Wufu characteristics, and a slight Korean sash style. It is a comprehensive consideration made by the props team after taking into account the cultural characteristics of East Asian countries.

Of course, the main reason is that this skirt is very cheap to customize on Taobao. So it looks almost like a modified Hanfu.

The announcer continued reading:

"A new crossroads: leaving Asia and joining Europe, or leaving Europe and joining Asia..."

"This is a clash between Orientalism and Westernism..."

Meanwhile, Haru and Nozomi Sasaki, who have just arrived on the island, have a series of bizarre and fantastical adventures with the Empress, played by Princess Kako.

For example, they can't understand English, can't write various modern kana, and at the same time, they relentlessly mock Japanese and many absurd issues in Japanese society, such as excessive taxes and the misery of life.

Then the plot occasionally cuts to Okinawa Island in the background, introducing the issue of Ryukyu independence and the oppression of the US military base.

As the plot reached its climax, Haru advised Yoshiko:

"How can we keep running away? We can't survive here any longer, can we? Let's go back to the modern world!"

Yoshiko knelt on the tatami mat and shouted along with her followers:

"No, we would rather live here, naked and destitute. There is no war here, and it shelters peaceful and righteous people from all over the world. This is our Shangri-La..."

At this point, on the island of Okinawa, which serves as the background, explosive smoke and dust billowed into the sky. The already scarce food supplies at the US military base were suddenly attacked by independent terrorists. They used their CIA affiliation to infiltrate the military camp and blew up their mess hall.

The entire film crew was stunned.

Filming next to an actual battlefield, wouldn't that count as battlefield documentation?

But how do you write the plot?

Faced with such a sudden and real battlefield situation, Haru and Nozomi Sasaki immediately changed their lines: "This is not a paradise, Your Highness, please return to Japan."

Yoshiko finally dropped a bombshell line:

"Is the Japan you're talking about a peaceful socialist Japan? Or is it a vassal state that once waged brutal wars and continues to strengthen its military, sending troops to invade other countries alongside the United States? If our nation is destined for destruction, then isn't your Japan also destined for destruction?"

This line was partially original by Yoshiko.

With Li Xinghe's continued support, she finally rekindled a sliver of desire to become a female emperor.

Who knows, maybe he'll rise to power.

Regarding this newly revised section, Sato Tsuyoshi expressed his doubts:

"Wouldn't that seem too political?"

Misato Mama is certainly outspoken and daring:

"Aren't we just a nonsensical political comedy? At the end of the first season, we even made fun of the Prime Minister's official residence. It's okay."

Although the film outwardly appears to criticize the failure of anarchism, it is clear to discerning viewers that it is actually a veiled criticism, subtly praising and promoting the peace and prosperity of socialist countries under a female emperor system, and emphasizing the harmony of multiple cultures under the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Principle.

Filming the horrific bombings on Okinawa amidst such a heated Okinawa crisis serves as a critique of the profound disaster inflicted on Okinawa by US military bases.

Masao Adachi, who participated in the filming, also chuckled and mocked:

"Right-wingers only engage in mindless repetition of 'Oh, China is so bad,' so ignore them."

Just as filming on the island was progressing smoothly, and Li Xinghe and the Maliki team were planning how to film Jill and May's wedding, while explosions and gunfire continued to erupt on Okinawa Island, just across the sea, Trump finally made his next move.

"A huge crisis is coming; Trump is going to make a statement tonight."

……

In the bedroom of the temporary house where the Maleki team was staying, Li Xinghe sat with several tall, fair-skinned women, discussing recent international politics and Trump's speech that was about to shock the world.

"By the way, has the date for the National Party Congress been set?"

Traditionally, the Democratic and Republican parties hold their primaries at their national conventions in July and August to select the final delegates and form the presidential and vice-presidential campaign teams.

"This year is a bit strange; both parties are reacting very slowly."

"Yes, the Republican National Convention should have started in mid-July, but it only started today. The Democrats only decided to hold the national runoff tomorrow after the Republicans presented their specific list of candidates."

Maria and Enora chatted casually, while Li Xinghe already knew the answer in advance.

Eastern Time, August 14th, evening.

The Republican final debates have begun, with Vance, DeSantis, and others vehemently attacking their former allies. However, the broadcast viewership is far lower than the live stream from Mar-a-Lago.

Politicians and the media are getting tired of asking these questions:

"Where is Trump's stance? In this election, will he support Vance or DeSantis?"

Everyone thought that Trump would have to choose between the two.

But what they didn't know was that Trump chose 'or'.

That evening, at a reception for his wealthy friends at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump suddenly released a pre-recorded video to the public:

"I hereby declare a national emergency in the United States. We must note that across the vast ocean, on Okinawa Island, the Ryukyu Independence Army, supported by the Chinese military, is already at war with the U.S. Third Expeditionary Force and the Japanese Defense Force. We have 100% evidence that China is the instigator of this conflict! They are the ones supporting the island's insurgent forces behind the scenes. I will be deploying U.S. troops to Okinawa to confront China."

People began street fighting. This order lasted from mid-August to early November. "I will remain loyal to the national interest and continue to defend America."

Meanwhile, Trump continues to reshuffle his government staff.

"In order to protect national interests, we must choose the most loyal people to lead the government during the election campaign."

Many people who did not appear to be completely loyal to the Republican Party were removed from the government by Trump, and replaced with a group of radio anchors, hosts, and YouTubers who were absolutely loyal to him to oversee the State Department, the IRS, intelligence agencies, and the Pentagon.

Following this absurd reshuffle, Tulsi was also ousted from the new government team.

Then Trump started the live broadcast.

But his live stream was filled with discussions about the importance of the Ryukyu issue, suggesting that the United States should send troops to Ryukyu and that Ryukyu must be nationalized, etc.

Finally, Trump said:

"I don't know how long this war will last, or how it will end, but I will stay here until it's over. America will win, we will win! Maga!"

That night, the number of people suffering from insomnia surged across the United States.

Trump's intentions are puzzling. Whether he is applying maximum pressure or deliberately causing trouble, many observers have already figured out what Trump is thinking.

Finally, the entire United States is once again facing the same nightmare as in 2020.

Trump, he doesn't seem to want to leave!

His underlying message has been brought to the forefront: either submit to Trump for a third term, or prepare for a world war.

He wants to exert maximum pressure on the people of the whole country.

What if he forcibly extends the state of emergency, declares war on the United States, and freezes national elections like Zelensky did?

There has never been a situation in US history where an election needed to be frozen, so there are no legal regulations governing such a scenario. However, this was the primary means by which Trump was able to legitimately obtain a third term.

Li Xinghe had already explained Trump's intention to pursue a third term and the conflict with Okinawa on the very night Li Daiyao called him away. Therefore, the Chinese side had actually been preparing a contingency plan for this.

Faced with Trump's accusations, China has consistently denied them three times in a row:

"I didn't, I didn't, it has nothing to do with me!"

Meanwhile, China reacted to the US release of the Human Rights Watch white paper, which criticized the US for its rampant inflation that eroded national wealth, making it difficult for residents to even afford eggs and forcing them to sell blood to survive, as well as highlighting social problems such as gang-related activities in communities. Previously, such white papers would have been blocked from media access by the US, but now they are being widely shared by American users who are using them to criticize the government as inhumane.

Anyway, the Chinese side will just continue to watch the show and then prepare for war.

On Ie Island, all the local cell towers were down.

Li Xinghe's phone was bombarded with calls instantly.

It was truly a case of multiple calls coming in simultaneously, causing the phone to crash on the spot.

General Jacqueline called immediately, and when she couldn't get through, she called Scarlett, asking Li Xinghe to explain what he had talked about with the president when he was in Los Angeles.

Ayman, representing his father, also sent an inquiry from the White House, asking how deeply involved the young man was and what he specifically knew about the Okinawa issue.

Vance and Tulsi arrived separately, bombarding him with phone calls.

Vance never expected that this 82-year-old man would continue to work and was not prepared to step down as the heir supported by Silicon Valley tycoons.

Tulsi lamented that the initial intention behind instigating the limited conflict in Okinawa was to maintain low interest rates in Japan, thus facilitating the dollar's drain on liquidity. However, in retrospect, Trump's true aim in provoking this conflict was simply to find an excuse to delay his third term.

Li Xinghe's connections are only in one corner of the world.

And media outlets around the world are frantically pressing for answers:

Will Trump really start a century war between the US and China in order to win re-election?

The author says:

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. I'll post 3200 words for now. I'll write more tonight. I've finally finished entertaining all my relatives for the year. I'm so sorry.

Chapter 578: Yoshiko Secretly Inserts Condom, Okinawa's Mass Fitness Campaign (5100 words)

Hotel hot springs.

"Mom, how did I act?"

Yoshiko, wearing only a simple yukata, sat next to Misato, pretending to be a well-behaved little girl. Misato, wearing a yukata, had just emerged from her bath, her broad and generous breasts clustered together, creating a terrifying depth against the yukata.

As the mother, the charming and alluring Misato, while drying her hair, tentatively asked:

"Not bad. If you become famous after the show airs, I hope you can become a regular guest and come to film with us often... By the way, how did you two meet?"

Yoshiko blushed immediately.

It still feels surreal now, as Yoshiko recalls that day in Mizuo Katayama's office:

"There's really no special story behind how we met. My dad wanted me to get a spot at the University of Tokyo so he could get my younger brother in. And then he... he spanked me. That's how we met."

As for Li Xinghe's later help in resolving the Akishino family's problems, and how he dragged her father, Fumihito, into the battle at the Osaka residence, Yoshiko only told Misato a few of the less outrageous details.

After hearing her story, Misato breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this brat didn't resort to any outrageous methods; at least it was an equal relationship, which is barely acceptable in the eyes of society.

Despite this, Misato still harbors anxieties that only a mother would experience:

“Your political ambitions are too great. He seems never to be satisfied, and I’m really scared… scared that something might happen to you.”

Whether it was Li Xinghe's casual borrowing of the Okinawa Marine Corps Air Base, the political rumors that could no longer be hidden in the entertainment industry, or even Li Xinghe's act of taking advantage of Nakai Masahiro's crisis to swallow Fuji Television in one fell swoop, all of these things made Misato Masa very worried.

They feared he might be caught up in political turmoil and die, and they also feared he might be bullied and have nowhere to go.

At this moment, Yoshiko displayed traditional wisdom.

"It's okay, I prepared this. He protected me before, now it's my turn to protect him."

Yoshiko pulled a condom out of her pocket.

It's still that old, but very effective tactic. Our ancestors have used this tactic countless times, perfecting it to perfection. Especially with Jiazi's pregnancy, given her royal status, as long as she gets pregnant and it's announced that Li Xinghe is willing to marry her, then Li Xinghe's life will be completely safe and secure.

In Japan, political persecution is very limited. If Li Xinghe were in the United States or South Korea, he would likely be either in jail or dead by now, but in Japan, he's still active and causing trouble. Because of the restraint in political persecution, if Li Xinghe were to announce his retirement at this time, Yoshiko's skirt would certainly protect him.

"If that's the case, then...aren't you at a huge disadvantage...?"

Misato felt guilty.

She knew perfectly well that Li Xinghe's relationship with Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei was very close, and his relationship with Shui Jing Tianping had reached a point where marriage was necessary to maintain their protective bond. The Kokubun sisters were relatively easy to deal with. Besides them, it seemed there were many other women outside who she was unaware of.

If another prince were to be inserted at this point, Misato would be afraid of disrupting the family, and also afraid of losing the political protection that Li Xinghe had been given.

Yoshiko didn't think much of it; instead, she swung the small blue plastic bag in her hand quite arrogantly.

"Actually... I punched holes in all my condoms. I just don't believe I can't hit them?"
