Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Since Okinawa was already considered an occupied territory, Kenichiro Nagumo's goal was to quell the situation as soon as possible. As a result, Self-Defense Force officers tortured the captured prisoners, just as Israelis tortured Palestinians.

The anger of the citizens was burning. Ryukyuans who had switched sides to the independence army were tipping them off on their mobile phones and identifying so-and-so who had betrayed them and joined the Self-Defense Forces.

The resistance battle began soon.

Zhang Xiaoqian led more than a thousand people to launch airstrikes in different areas.

"Initiate a full-scale assault on the Self-Defense Forces!"

Despite being disguised as a CIA entity, the strongest support China provided to the independence army was still drones. Tens of thousands of drones drifted in from the sea, along with simple tutorials on how to attach detonators.

For ordinary people, hitting someone with a gun is extremely difficult, and many civilians lack military experience and are not mentally stable.

But controlling the suicide drone through the screen is as easy as playing a game.

As evening fell, drones flew overhead like swarms of bees through the streets of Naha.

Several Self-Defense Force officers who were on guard duty by the roadside were smoking together when suddenly a bomb fell from the sky. The small detonator bomb landed on earth and sent the officers to their deaths.

The detonator exploded on the ground, shrapnel tearing the officer's body apart, and the shockwave shattered his clothes and internal organs. Several people collapsed on the roadside, screaming in agony.

If someone had provided first aid at that moment, at least they wouldn't have died.

But the Okinawan citizens driving by kept their faces tense, forcing themselves not to laugh, and pretended that they hadn't seen anything.

At this time, the civilians had already discovered in the fierce military conflict that the Self-Defense Forces did not treat them as their own people at all, so they were naturally more willing to support the independence forces.

After all, the other side is backed by China, which is the strongest country in East Asia.

People admire strength.

Less than five minutes after the drone attack, a construction truck suddenly sped away.

The wounded on the ground were still full of hope, but instead they saw several independent army soldiers jump out of the vehicle. They immediately seized the self-defense force officer's gun and identification tag, then drove the vehicle over the wounded repeatedly, giving them a "truck-push" service, before leisurely fleeing the scene.

Scenes like this have occurred not only in Naha, but also in various other places such as Okinawa City and Nanjo City.

The Self-Defense Force officers who landed at Miejo Port originally led their soldiers to take over local areas, thinking that the police alone could drive away the separatist forces. However, as soon as they dispersed, they were attacked by hundreds of drones in a single day, and more than a hundred officers became victims of bombs.

An island inhabited by more than a million people, occupied by only a few thousand troops, is bound to be riddled with vulnerabilities.

Such scenes were unfolding across various areas of Okinawa. Disguised as construction and renovation crews, the independence army, aboard trucks, flew drones while simultaneously crushing and ramming Self-Defense Force and police squads, defeating them one by one.

On Douyin (TikTok), videos of the Independent Army's counterattack quickly appeared:

"Drone attack kills 3!"

"Self-Defense Forces laugh and joke: Truck stomps on back!"

"Tang Ji is here!"

Many videos with catchy memes have gone viral, greatly angering the Self-Defense Forces.

When the battle escalated into a full-blown conflict between 5000 Self-Defense Force personnel, 140 members of the Third Expeditionary Force, and 1.4 million Okinawan residents, the people had only two choices.

You can either become a lackey of the Self-Defense Forces or support the Independence Army.

At this time, the Ryukyu Independence Army prepared to create a world-renowned event and began to establish occupied territories.

Yui Oshiyama is a girl with poor academic performance, but she has participated in peace memorial outings and thought of a must-visit place for Okinawan students.

She suddenly made a suggestion that shocked the world:

"Blow up the Peace Memorial Park!"

This park is a postwar memorial site for the Battle of Okinawa. Like most postwar memorials in Japan, it attempts to commemorate the war dead from a third-party perspective, without explaining the reasons for the war, but simply by treating the war dead as victims of war.

This is what the bottom-ranked hottie said about her suggestion:

"Why are the names of Japanese soldiers left in the Peace Memorial Park? Do the perpetrators and the victims, as well as the poor civilians who were misled and held hostage, have to lie in the same memorial hall?"

This is indeed a question that many people don't understand.

If your Peace Park commemorates those who died in battle, then why are there Japanese soldiers inside?

If it commemorates the Japanese army, wouldn't it be a dark joke to include the names of the residents who died in the war?

If it is meant to commemorate all the dead in the war, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous to include the Japanese army that started the war?

This is a problem that many Japanese people cannot explain, because they cannot completely absolve themselves of responsibility for World War II.

Since that was the case, the independence army mobilized and drove trucks into the Peace Memorial Park.

They set up live streaming cameras and then publicly announced that Peace Park had been renamed 'Ryukyu Independence Park'.

"Smash those Japanese names!"

At Zhang Xiaoqian's command, the Independent Army soldiers took out pickaxes and removed all the names of the Japanese soldiers who had died in battle from Peace Park, and the sound of hammering filled the air.

In the midst of the relentless pursuit, the name of Mitsuru Ushijima, who caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people, was torn down and thrown away, and trampled underfoot.

They issued a declaration:

"We officially announce that the Ryukyu Independence Park welcomes supporters from all over the world to come and fight."

"My compatriots, if you do not come, how can we achieve independence?"

Videos taken by the Okinawa Independence Army have gone viral on various platforms such as TikTok, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu. Because Trump is simultaneously criticizing the Okinawa Independence Army while Congress is supporting Okinawa independence at the United Nations—a classic example of American brain death—major platforms are turning a blind eye and exercising very lax oversight.

Therefore, their videos have garnered tens of millions of views, attracting a large number of eager supporters worldwide.

The largest number of applicants were overseas Okinawans, but they were quickly overtaken by Chinese applicants.

The only puzzling thing is:

"Oh, there are Koreans signing up too?"

"They probably want to oppose Japan, right?"

Many South Koreans with experience serving in the South Korean military traveled across the ocean to Japan, and then by ship to Okinawa to join the independence army.

This was perhaps the moment when Koreans had the best chance to legally kill Japanese soldiers after the war. So, Koreans who were unemployed and starving, but who had military experience, and even retired officers, all came to participate in this grand gathering of East Asian heroes.

With South Korea's unemployment rate reaching new highs, the idea of ​​legally fighting Japanese in Okinawa is attracting a large number of South Korean soldiers.

The structure of the Okinawa Independence Army began to change, with Chinese and South Korean veterans who had crossed the sea becoming the main combat force. Due to the temporary language barrier within the unit, English was used for communication, while Chinese characters were used to issue orders.

When Zhang Xiaoqian and Xiao Chongshan Yui and her brother reached this point, the Ryukyu Independence Army received a notification from Li Xinghe that it had internally decided to begin establishing its own local administrative structure.

They divided Naha, Okinawa, and Itoman into three liberated zones: central, northern, and southern, targeting the three military bases of Kadena, Futenma, and Okinawa Airport, respectively.

Each liberated area was to be equipped with a political commissar, an administrative chief, and a liberation commander. Each subordinate combat squad was to be assigned a political commissar and an administrative officer, responsible for the joint resistance struggle of the military and civilians. These matters were handled by CIA agents.

The only thing that really made Zhang Xiaoqian uneasy was that most of the leaders in this provisional government were Japanese spies for the CIA. If Ryukyu's independence were to actually proceed, their identities could very well become real, allowing them to break away from the CIA and embark on a self-realizing spiral of independence.

The fact that an independent organization led by CIA spies and spearheaded by the U.S. military is opposing U.S. and Japanese forces on land between the U.S. and Japan is a surreal reality, yet it seems quite ordinary in the United States.

The United States opposes the United States.

……

The 99-day crisis in Okinawa has reached its 20th day.

Trump remained seated in the White House in Washington, forcefully ordering the Pentagon to send troops to fight on the island of Okinawa.

When it comes to really ruthless tactics, the American media has to be the best.

The Washington Post, a media outlet favored by those who 'think they're in charge of governing the country' and closely linked to politics, chose to directly attack Japan:

"Ryukyu – the Gaza of East Asia!"

They distorted the current situation in Okinawa and compared it to the tragic plight of Gaza. This led not only to the American right wing joining Trump in criticizing Japan, but also to the left wing turning against Japan.

When it comes to shamelessness, the American media are professionals.

They completely disregard the fact that their own country's government is the biggest pillar supporting Israel's genocidal policy in Gaza. Instead, they transform the suffering of the Gazans into a symbol of their own linguistic hegemony, using it to bully disobedient vassal states.

When this news reached Ijiang Island, everyone was amused.

Li Xinghe scratched his head, feeling insulted.

"Should we say that Europeans are too disrespectful to Japan, or that they are overestimating Israel? The racial oppression in Okinawa was only about banning certain items and causing some trouble for the residents. Gaza, on the other hand, is an open-air hell on earth."

Mary threw away the lighter and burned the letter:

"It's just because there's a need. There are plenty of Gazas in the East. For example, Myanmar and India, where similar situations are happening everywhere, but Myanmar is a global cesspool, and the US needs India. So nobody cares."

In the area where Myanmar and India are locked in a tug-of-war between government forces and local armed groups, it's a living hell, like Gaza without UN support. But nobody cares, so it's not well-known.

Friends familiar with the situation in Japan began discussing the Japanese government:

"In any case, the Japanese government always tries to gain international support by portraying itself as a victim of the atomic bombings."

International sympathy has been expressed, and this time it's even been labeled as tantamount to 'Israel and Gaza being a prison,' which is truly undeniable.

"Those politicians who were pulling the strings behind the scenes to get the Self-Defense Forces to start their riot control operations, aren't they sweating bullets now?"

As everyone knows, in the absence of a prime minister, the major factions within Japan's Liberal Democratic Party remained silent, while far-right politicians engaged in small-group politics, which led to the Self-Defense Forces' deployment to the islands.

However, when American media compared Okinawa to Gaza, bureaucrats in the Tokyo Cabinet Office who were still in charge of the post-prime ministerial era immediately fled.

The far-right groups that instigated Kenichiro Nagumo's fascist actions, such as the generation of Takaichi Kobayashi, should now go to the Japanese media and tell them to continue their information blockade against Okinawa and not to reprint the Washington Post's media attacks.

This reflects the classic Japanese flaw of having the guts to do bad things but not the guts to take responsibility.

However, the Japanese media were powerless to help.

Do you dare to challenge the media of foreigners?

Even if Japanese media wanted to compete, they would be relentlessly attacked and criticized by Western media due to factors such as a lack of backbone and limited influence.

Therefore, Japanese media either choose to remain silent or simply switch sides and join the American media in criticizing the Japanese government.

The media and entertainment industry still harbors a large number of Japanese Communist Party members, liberal leftists, and orthodox left-wing creators. Kenichiro Nagumo's racial oppression measures in Okinawa, such as banning the Babun flag and wearing red headscarves, as well as arresting pro-China individuals and detaining them in gymnasiums for "movements," are all very obvious acts of old Japanese fascism.

"Kenichiro Nagumo is Chuichi Nagumo; Takayuki Kobayashi is Nobuo Kobayashi!"

The Japanese Communist Party, in its own party newspaper, directly compared the two masterminds behind the scenes to old Japanese fascist generals, launching a media attack against them.

While everyone was still discussing things in the hotel, Jill and May ran back from outside, breathless:

"Super bad news... a lot of bad news."

Jill said:

"The Pentagon has finally compromised. The Third Expeditionary Force has received approval for funding and food support, and they will... join the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and troops transferred from the Indo-Pacific theater in the riot control operation."

Li Xinghe's heart tightened.

This is bad news. If the US military actually dares to commit to the battlefield, the fighting will become extremely difficult. After all, they do have aerial bombs and heavy equipment.

Mei, panting, pulled a small piece of paper from her chest and handed it to Li Xinghe:

"But there's good news."

"You are the one they appointed as the commander of the riot control operation."

The person in charge of riot control on the front lines in Okinawa is actually the most powerful person in the US military stationed in Japan, the director of the SPPC, Li Xinghe.

This is unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable, good news.

Trump will not allow Okinawa to become the trigger for World War III, but he also needs the conflict to drag on until after November.

The author says:

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. Here's 4100 words. I'm thinking of speeding things up a bit, this part of the story is a bit long.

Chapter 580: The Resurgence of Chinese Characters, the American Southeastern Mutual Protection Pact, and the Injection of Patriotic Genes (4500 words)

"The Tang ship is here!"

The Ryukyu Independence Army has expanded to 1400 people. They sneak into the sea at night to welcome various supplies provided by the Chinese side and allies who have arrived by smuggling or by boat.

Veterans from China and South Korea are landing here with their respective identification documents.

The promoters warmly welcomed them:

"Please register your name in Chinese characters. Currently, we can offer a monthly salary of $2000 or 1 RMB, along with settlement rights, profit sharing, and other benefits upon victory. If you have management skills, you can also participate in the formation of the new government after promotion..."

Currently, the area controlled by the Independent Army is mainly in the southeastern part of the island, beyond the reach of the Self-Defense Forces and US military bases, specifically in the areas of Nanfengyuan Town, Yonahara Town, and Nanjo City. New recruits arriving here even receive 10 days of instruction in Ryukyu Chinese characters and a basic understanding of the military organization. After training, they are granted a trial rank based on their previous military rank.

After learning the identity of the new user, Li Xinghe called Zhao Guhuan in South Korea to inquire about the situation. Zhao Guhuan replied:

"Oh right, there are many unemployed young people here looking for work. They all have military service experience, so our Veterans Affairs Department suggests that they go to Okinawa... no, Ryukyu to find a job."

The South Korean economy isn't doing well either; $2000 a month with room and board included is already considered a high salary.
