Yes, Prime Minister of Japan
Page 533
In addition, Li Xinghe also spotted some North Koreans and asked Nan Haonu about it. Her answer was:
"North Korea also has its own interests in Okinawa; many of our cargo ships are transshipped through there."
China hasn't really interfered, since if the controls are relaxed even slightly, many people can slip out.
With the economic crisis worsening and youth unemployment rising, it's not surprising that young people from China, South Korea, and North Korea are heading to the battlefield in Okinawa, hoping to make a living through the war.
Come on, have more!
Li Xinghe could afford the wages of a mere few thousand combat personnel. The CIA had just provided $3000 million in annual funding, and with the addition of public fundraising for this event and funds approved by the State Department, supporting a two-month war would not be a problem.
He is more concerned with subsequent management issues.
Therefore, Li Xinghe, acting on his inside line, gave the following orders to the CIA agents:
"Immediately introduce the Ryukyu script standard, continue the Japanese habit of using a mixture of Chinese characters and kana, but try to ensure the number of native Chinese words. Not only should we start new education for the residents, but we should also teach the support soldiers from South Korea and North Korea to write Chinese characters in a mixed manner, so that they can at least have the ability to read, write and communicate in a simple way."
The language of Ryukyu is divided into two sets: the northern one is closer to Japanese, and the southern one is closer to the Austronesian language family, with a large amount of Hokkien influence. Therefore, Li Xinghe decided to combine elements from both sides, adopting a large number of native Chinese words and using Ryukyu kana for auxiliary writing.
For Okinawan residents, this new language is not much different from Japanese and can be used without problems in daily life, similar to how Ukrainian is to Russian. Students, nurtured in classrooms, have a higher tolerance for Chinese characters and words, making it easier for them to integrate into the Chinese internet. In this way, cultural cleansing can be gradually completed.
Li Xinghe put down his phone and smiled.
"Hmph~ Our main purpose is not just to create a new Ryukyuan language. It is to promote the mixed writing system of Chinese characters in East Asia. Japan has already done it, and then we will turn Korea back to the mixed writing system of Chinese characters, and then Vietnam and Southeast Asia. When Chinese characters are used in this time and place, they will naturally become close to China."
Language influences cognition, and cognition determines stance.
The more East Asian residents who can read Chinese characters, the easier it will be for Li Xinghe to carry out subsequent operations.
……
The conflict on Okinawa is escalating.
Due to a shortage of manpower, the Self-Defense Forces are stationed at Okinawa Airport, occasionally going out to conduct raids and make arrests, but they often only manage to catch the poor.
And in the north of the island.
Filming for the Iejima special was progressing very quickly. Princess Kako's acting was quite good, and Haru and Nozomi Sasaki's collaboration was also getting better and better, making the political satire comedy both funny and poignant.
Because the Pentagon and Trump appointed Li Xinghe as the commander-in-chief of the riot control efforts, Marine Corps planes were constantly taking off and landing on Ijiang Island, transporting some command personnel and units there. But to be honest, Li Xinghe didn't really want to take over the entire Third Expeditionary Force directly, so he only approved the order to deliver food to the soldiers.
What kind of food should I send?
Although the Ministry of National Defense allocated over $100 million for this project, Li Xinghe only received less than $10 million. To ensure that the Third Expeditionary Force wouldn't starve, Li Xinghe directly ordered tens of thousands of boxes of domestically produced instant noodles and sent them over. He also added near-expiry ham sausages to the instant noodles, along with various other near-expiry canned offal and snacks, essentially creating a "blind box" effect.
Letting the soldiers eat instant noodles or near-expiry snacks is still better than what they used to eat in the mess hall.
I'm full.
Just as Li Xinghe was stalling for time and maintaining the war into November, a helicopter landed at the airport and summoned Li Xinghe.
He went over to take a look and was stunned.
Aiman, nine months pregnant, slowly stepped off the plane.
What kind of witch superhero is this, still using a plane to work at this time of year?
"What happened?"
Li Xinghe frowned and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
Aiman, however, stroked the pregnant woman and pleaded with Li Xinghe through tears:
“I swear to the baby in my belly that you will support the country, not Trump.”
"This is confusing me. What exactly happened?"
Li Xinghe used a strategy of retreating to advance, constantly reassuring Aiman while also subtly hinting at his intentions.
Ayman was truly at her wit's end; she and Li Xinghe were already deeply intertwined, so she had no choice but to secretly reveal the latest intelligence her father had gathered in the White House:
"In Washington, to avoid a crisis during the presidential transition, they are secretly planning a stability maintenance plan called 'Parallel Worlds.' Many establishment figures within both the Democratic and Republican parties are involved. It is said that they will mobilize the National Guard near Washington, D.C., to surround Washington and take control of the White House, while simultaneously setting up a second temporary White House in Alexandria, Virginia, southwest of Washington..."
Li Xinghe took a deep breath:
"You mean, creating a second government...?"
What kind of magical script is this, set in another timeline of 2020?
This is not impossible. After the coup attempt on January 6, the United States did indeed create a second government vacuum through the cooperation of Pelosi and Milley, effectively sidelining Trump.
The current troop deployment plan is only slightly outrageous, but since the US federal government has been paralyzed by Trump's actions, and the surrounding states, whether it is New York or Maryland, are all staunchly pro-US states, it is perfectly reasonable to deploy the National Guard to arrest the president.
Since the Reagan and Clinton reforms of the last century, which abandoned community governance at the grassroots level, state and local governments have colluded with community activism organizations, resulting in increasingly bloated localities where various interest groups divide local interests and constantly oppose the federal government.
In terms of relative power, the power of states in the United States currently relies on an increasingly large group of state civil servants and state representatives on Capitol Hill. Instead, states are expanding their power and eroding their finances.
Local powers are growing, while the federal government is shrinking.
Local gangsters laundered their money, donned suits, entered the legislature, and climbed their way up to Congress, becoming local tyrants. They continued to protect the state's expanded powers and cultivate their own influence locally. Pelosi was a prime example.
Li Xinghe, supporting Aiman, asked with concern:
Can the federal government withstand such a massive and drastic change?
Is it really impossible for a constitutional crisis to erupt, leading to an American civil war?
Ayman sighed even more sadly:
"Anyway, the federal government has long been overstaffed and its jurisdiction is shrinking. There are significant vacancies in 90% of the federal government's positions and departments. Do you know what that means? It means that 90% of our government departments are unable to fully perform their duties. The Department of Education can't manage education, the Federal Aviation Administration can't manage aviation, and the Department of Labor can't beat the unions. They are all 90% disabled departments."
This is a very simple principle: without people, power cannot be exercised. Whatever the federal government wants to do, it needs people to carry it out.
But the federal government has consistently struggled to recruit enough staff and is still laying off employees.
The federal government has long maintained a workforce of 200 million in a narrow sense and 300 million in a broad sense. Of these, 78 are civilian employees at the Department of Defense, 45 at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and 22 at the Department of Homeland Security—this already accounts for half of the federal workforce. And it's widely known that these people are employed in the military.
The remaining fewer than 150 million people are responsible for supporting all functions of the entire federal government and implementing federal policies. And it is this federal government, with its significant 90% understaffing, that Trump continues to drastically cut, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to the Used Department of Education (USE), from top to bottom, destroying the very foundation of the federal government.
These 150 million people not only have to face betrayal from Trump, but also the combined pressure from 3000 million local government officials, legislators at all levels, governments, and corporations across the country. The fact that they can keep the government from collapsing is a testament to their Cold War superhuman abilities.
Compared to the small federal government, the number of state and local government employees has been expanding dramatically, from a roughly 50/50 split during World War II to today's federal government of 3 million and local government of over 30 million, a ratio of 10 to 1. In other words, over 10% of the U.S. population is paid by the government, and nearly 20% of households rely on government spending for their livelihood.
The United States spends trillions of dollars annually on salaries for such a massive civil service that comprises one-tenth of the nation's population.
However, despite their massive numbers, their income is actually quite low. Whether they are local teachers or local civil servants, 40% of them even need to work part-time after get off work, such as waiting tables in restaurants or repairing cars and sweeping floors, just to make ends meet. It's possible that civil servants who wield approval power in the government during the day might be selling their bodies in strip clubs after get off work or even resorting to prostitution on weekends just to pay their end-of-month bills.
It's puzzling where all those trillions of yuan in salaries went.
This view of inefficiency, corruption, incompetence, and utter decay is like a festering, swollen, half-dead giant, in which those who live are in so much pain yet powerless to change it.
Li Xinghe grunted twice:
"If I were Trump, the first thing I would do upon taking office would be to cut half of the 3000 million state and local employees, withdraw funding from part-time positions, restructure and strengthen existing staff, and improve their governing capabilities. I would also expand the federal government's authority, implementing federal vertical management over numerous local departments. And then, while I'm at it, I'd cut even more..."
Aiman quickly silenced Li Xinghe's lips with her own, and after a long kiss, she said with lingering fear:
"Then we'll have to hold our wedding in hell."
This is a truly taboo topic that should never be touched.
The trillions of dollars in funding, unlimited powers, union support, and voter backing of 3000 million civil servants are the goldmines of local power figures, their very foundation. Do you dare cut them? Trump certainly wouldn't, so he doesn't cut the truly bloated departments, but instead goes back to cutting the 90% disabled federal government, which is already understaffed. After all, there's not much difference between 90% and 95% disability; both are severe paralysis.
Even if he cripples the federal government by 99%, it will only paralyze the central government, while the state governments will act like independent vassal states.
Chinese people will only find it familiar; it's just a script from the late Qing Dynasty.
Speaking of the late Qing Dynasty, Li Xinghe had also roughly figured out the strategies employed by the behind-the-scenes elites of the Republican and Democratic parties.
That would mean completely sidelining Trump, forming a federal alliance of red and blue states that wouldn't recognize Trump, who remained in the White House, but instead would recognize one of the two candidates running concurrently. This so-called parallel world would exist parallel to the Trump administration.
After pondering for a moment, he exclaimed in amazement:
"Isn't this just the American version of the Southeast Mutual Protection Pact... Do you think you can build a second White House by November 2nd, challenge Trump to power, and stage a two-day coup?"
Damn, this is so similar!
"More or less. Do you support me?"
Aiman hugged Li Xinghe tightly, hoping he would support her.
"Of course I support you, you are the mother of our daughter."
Li Xinghe was definitely possessed by the spirit of a comedian.
Trump's plan to force a third term was doomed to failure from the start; neither the military nor the government supported him. Li Xinghe, being a shrewd businessman, decisively switched sides. He was willing to do anything to further divide the United States.
Just as the two embraced, the stunningly beautiful Misato appeared, gently stroking her long hair, her brows furrowed as she stared at Ayman:
"She is……"
Misato felt like she had seen her before, but she couldn't quite remember.
More importantly, this woman was also heavily pregnant.
Li Xinghe looked around and, seeing that Jiazi wasn't nearby, immediately introduced her:
“Emmanuel, a Washingtonian, is my… uh, girlfriend in the White House.”
"Hello, I'm Emmanuel Jacobwitz, and I work in the White House Intelligence Office in Washington. Our baby daughter is due next month, and you'll be a grandmother."
Touching her pregnant belly, which is one month away from giving birth, Aiman smiled elegantly and kindly, and she and Li Xinghe huddled together, acting as a model couple.
These two tall, handsome men and beautiful women, both over 1.8 meters tall, do indeed have the air of Hollywood leading men and women when they stand together. Compared to the slim and sexy Emman, Misato appears more graceful, but she is slightly shorter.
"Let's go, let's talk about serious matters first."
After greeting Misato, Aiman hurriedly pulled Li Xinghe into the house to talk in detail.
As Misato watched their retreating figures, she suddenly fell into a state of extreme anxiety about her life.
So far, Li Xinghe seems to prefer hanging out with the group of white women around him. The most concrete evidence is that of his four children, three were conceived through relationships with white women. Considering his upbringing, surrounded by white women in San Francisco and Vancouver from a young age, it seems he is indeed more easily attracted to them.
But what if his sexual preferences are a bit unique, like only liking to hang out with white women?
How can this be cured? How can Jiazi get pregnant? How can the Jian family continue their lineage?
If this terrifying speculation were told to Mikasa and Chiyo, the whole family would be anxious.
After much thought, Misato actually started to agree with Misato.
She had to find a way to cure her son's bad habit of idolizing foreign things.
It's time to instill patriotism in him.

Chapter 581: Secretly Inciting the Five Barbarian Invasions in America, Tattooing Words to Prove Loyalty (4700 words)
The cramped and narrow Japanese-style inn has a Japanese-style interior made up of five tatami mats.
One consequence of Japan's disastrous infrastructure development is already evident: this ghost hotel experiences frequent power outages, forcing everyone to take off their clothes to cool off.
Maria sat on the cabinet, swaying gracefully, a perfect blend of the ruggedness and sexiness of a Colorado prairie girl; Enola hugged her silk-stockinged feet, her makeup exquisite, her blonde hair flowing, exuding the sophistication of New York's elite; Jill, only a strapless top covering her ample breasts, embraced the curvaceous and passionate May, fanning herself with a hand fan; Scarlett, as a US Army captain, still maintained many military habits, kneeling beside Li Xinghe like a loyal red-haired dog; sitting in the center of the room was the pregnant Emmanuel, wearing only a small tank top.
Whether you're a voluptuous, delicate beauty or a cool, model-like woman, you can find both in this small room.
Li Xinghe was engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand struggle with Jill, trying to prevent Jill from putting her hand inside his crotch.
Ayman kicked Gil, showing his toughness:
“I have some influential people in the Democratic Party who would like to work with us.”
Then, naturally, the topic turned to Trump's third term and the 'parallel world' contingency plan prepared by the American establishment.
Everyone fell silent; this was an extremely dangerous maneuver.
Why us?
Enora first questioned the sincerity of the Democrats, making roundabout probes. Although Enora had risen to a fairly good position in the Democratic Party's media matrix with Li Xinghe's resources, this time it was Eman who personally came to negotiate, which was a different approach.
“There are plenty of teams willing to help, even though we’re not in the US.” Maria, as the team leader, was furious. She unzipped her skirt, revealing her private parts covered by silk lingerie, and her expression became quite serious.
The Maliki Squad is far from being a major force among the countless political forces in the United States.
Ayman, on the other hand, seemed quite confident:
"Don't forget, during the Los Angeles Marathon of Death, it was only you and your squad who kept all the other teams running forward. A little investigation by the Democrats would have revealed that you were the one who brought a special forces unit from Japan to Los Angeles. Of course, they like a black thug like you."
The Democratic Party's methods have always been shady.
Assassination, backstabbing, silencing—they're willing to do all sorts of gangster tricks imaginable.
But they themselves were unsure about removing Trump from the White House in Washington. After all, the Pentagon was generally reluctant to get involved, so the Army, Navy, and Air Force were unlikely to comply, and the Marine Corps, being a loyal and rapid reaction force to the president, was unlikely to participate in creating chaos.
