Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Chapter 582: Okinawa's Massive Population Relocation and the Injection of Patriotic Genes (5000 words)

The next day.

On the eve of September, the forward logistics command for the Okinawa War was officially established at the air force base on Ie Island.

Li Xinghe placed a few clerks here to distribute instant noodles, and that was considered his responsibility.

Maliki's team is also planning the 'parallel world' scheme.

Ayman sat sideways next to Maria, waving the fax paper in his hand:

"Our defense contractor is registered in the Pitcairn Islands, a British Pacific territory. The paperwork is all done. It's a godforsaken place with only nine households and about 50 people. If you're willing to pay, you can buy a governorship. Anyway, Britain is probably one of the first developed countries to decline. If you're willing to give the royal family a few million dollars, they'll definitely be willing to grant you a title."

Since Brexit and the pandemic, the UK has experienced a comprehensive collapse in all aspects, from healthcare and society to employment and housing.

Although Japan carries a massive yen debt annually, its annual debt interest is only around $50 billion, while the UK's debt interest is approaching 2.5 times that of Japan. The shrinking jobs and economy in the UK are leading many Britons to emigrate to China, and even cross-border matchmaking agencies have found a lucrative market for 'British-style brides'.

“I’m willing to give them, as long as they’re willing to send me a few British noble wives.”

Li Xinghe mercilessly criticized him.

"You really have a taste for this, huh? Actually, there are quite a few widowed noblewomen with titles in England these days..."

Ayman's eyes flashed with malice.

"No, no, I'm going to my office for a meeting."

Li Xinghe immediately fled.

Upon entering the logistics office, Li Xinghe was immediately surrounded by a sallow-faced, thin, burly man.

This is the sergeant major of the Third Expeditionary Force:

Please give me some wages! Please give me some subsidies! I beg you.

The officers of the Third Expeditionary Force pleaded with Li Xinghe to give them some money.

Since the salaries and benefits of 9000 soldiers were cut, the Marin soldiers have been unable to support their families. They share a monthly salary of less than $900 and endure hunger with their families, eating Chinese instant noodles provided by Li Xinghe, while also being bombed by drones from time to time.

Although the US military bases in Iraq have been living like this for almost ten years, this is the first time that US troops in Okinawa have experienced such hardship.

After much hesitation, Li Xinghe slowly said:

“I have a special suicide mission here, which is only open to elite Marines whose families can stay in Okinawa or Japan, or who have settled in Taiwan. It will take about 900-1000 people, a battalion. The salary and benefits are specially guaranteed, and the family benefits are generous, at least $3000-$5000 per month.”

The Democratic Party guarantees, of course, full pay.

The sergeant was stunned:

"That's just one battalion? What about the rest?"

Li Xinghe shrugged:

"You can consider applying for retirement. I can help you apply for a voluntary severance package, but considering that the Pentagon and the Indo-Pacific Command do not want the $86 billion relocation funds to disappear, I'm afraid the retirement benefits will not be much."

Although the U.S. Department of Defense has more than 1.2 million civilian employees and the Department of Veterans Affairs has more than 1.2 million employees, it just can't come up with any money to give to these few thousand retired soldiers.

The sergeant knelt down before Li Xinghe with a thud.

There's no way around it, it's just too difficult.

Whether it's Trump, the Indo-Pacific theater, or the US military stationed in Japan, they all need to make sacrifices, and no matter how much they struggle, they are all caught in the cycle of politics and get swept away. US troops in Iraq, although occasionally bombarded by missiles, at least had a barely adequate daily income. But now, with the post-pandemic era and rampant inflation, even their daily income is becoming increasingly difficult to guarantee.

Having received orders from the Ministry of National Defense, Li Xinghe, who was willing to provide the Third Expeditionary Force with expired instant noodles and sausages, was their only savior.

Li Xinghe then closed the door, shaking his head with pity.

"Ahem. Seeing how difficult things are for everyone, I have another... undisclosed channel here that can help people who want to leave Okinawa to settle and work in places I can't talk about. But as before, only married families with children are allowed to leave, and they must take their families with them. Otherwise, if we are betrayed, we're all doomed."

The sergeant's face immediately turned ashen:

“Chin…”

Li Xinghe interrupted him, emphasizing:

“I am the director of SPPC, and I am absolutely loyal to the interests of the United States. But if my brothers can’t stand living on $900 a month and their families eating 90 meals of instant noodles, I’m willing to make an exception and let the most disadvantaged people find a way to make a living… The average salary they offer you there, when factored in, is at least tens of thousands of RMB per month. In terms of purchasing power parity, that’s much better than $5000 in the US. Plus, there’s the canteen, accommodation allowance, and veteran’s assistance, which will guarantee that their families can buy a car and a house, their children can go to school, and the housewives will have no worries. As long as they don’t directly join the Chinese army, we’ll turn a blind eye and let them go.”

This was the Third Expeditionary Force in Okinawa!

Their soldiers have been practicing how to defend against a PLA landing on the island and how to quickly support Taiwan. This makes them perfect for training exercises, since they themselves are the backbone of the enemy forces.

What could be more fun than having the enemy come and fight alongside me in exercises?

The sergeant major hesitated greatly.

But for the Maruns here, isn't that practically tantamount to treason?

Li Xinghe reminded him:

"Of course, these people are nominally retired voluntarily and do not receive retirement benefits. Where they choose to go afterward is none of my business, and you don't know either. Think about the retired naval and air force pilots who defected to China over the past 10 years, what do you think?"

Over the past 20 years, a large number of U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots have gone to China after retiring from the military because of the fact that American pilots...

The pay is poor, worse than in China. Although they're nominally training civil aviation personnel, what they're really doing is obvious. Would they really be so foolish as to only train civil aviation personnel and not air force pilots or carrier strike groups?

First-class and second-class citizens have benefited, so why can't fourth-class citizens benefit?

This has already happened before, and it will surely happen again.

In order to escape this insane hell of killing and starvation as quickly as possible, the sergeant major finally chose to compromise. He asked urgently:

How many people do you need?

Li Xinghe pulled out a phone number and handed it to him, then turned away and coughed, saying:

"One battalion? Two battalions? I'm not sure. Go ask them yourself. You saw this phone number by chance on a telephone pole, but it has nothing to do with me."

The sergeant left in a hurry.

That very evening, no fewer than 2000 internal applications were submitted to Huangshui Defense Company. Meanwhile, over 300 households signed voluntary discharge agreements, harboring resentment towards the United States, and fled to China with their families.

Under Li Xinghe's invisible hand, the 1.4-strong expeditionary force gradually disintegrated and fell apart.

After deducting the 5000 troops remaining at the garrison, deducting the 1000 transferred to Huangshui Defense Company, deducting those who smuggled themselves to the Chinese side through Li Xinghe, and deducting those who retired and deserted from the military, the remaining few thousand would most likely die on the battlefield in Okinawa, leaving virtually nothing.

While disintegrating the Third Expeditionary Force, Li Xinghe also held a meeting with the newly arrived 25th Division.

Li Xinghe's self-proclaimed:

"Gentlemen, to be honest, I don't know much about military affairs. As the director of SPPC, my main task is to supply logistics and food to ensure that the soldiers have food to eat. For anything else, I can only tell you that you should consult the Indo-Pacific Command and the Pentagon."

He voluntarily relinquished command, which greatly pleased the 25th Marine Division.

During the meeting, a tragic and horrific news broke from the island.

After experiencing multiple drone attacks from the sky, the soldiers of the 25th Division became extremely paranoid and on edge. When a school bus carrying 45 male high school students passed by the camp, they mistook the sudden warning sound for a drone attack warning and opened fire on the bus, killing all 45 boys. The blood of the bodies flowed for dozens of meters. After being discovered by locals, the US troops also shot and killed two elderly people and three men before fleeing the scene.

Unsurprisingly, the news of American soldiers massacring local children went viral on TikTok and other video platforms, becoming excellent material for the independence army to incite hatred and retaliate.

Then came the spiral of hatred. The parents of the murdered children immediately defected to the independence army, becoming human bombs, exploding with American tanks, killing four soldiers, who then indiscriminately opened fire on residential areas, bullets piercing through wooden houses and causing mass casualties.

That would have been one thing, but then there were also instances of US troops setting fire to houses in residential areas to drive away resistance fighters hiding there, and using tanks to fire on civilians fleeing their homes for amusement. Their actions were quite characteristic of Israel.

Massive numbers of Okinawans fled across the sea, with many even spending hundreds of thousands of yen to beg fishermen to take them to the Japanese mainland in their small fishing boats.

This time, it wasn't just three blows that shattered the spirit of Ryukyu, because the American troops didn't even need sticks when they went on a killing spree.

Li Xinghe went out to inquire about the news, and when he returned, he teased:

"General, how many lives are you prepared to lose to fill this endless abyss of blood?"

The more satisfying the 25th Division's killings are, the more successful the Ryukyu independence movement will be.

Major General Joseph Ryan is the quintessential white general; he was the one who proposed bringing the Philippines into the East Asian anti-China alliance.

He looked down on Li Xinghe and casually said:

"Hmph, you just need to focus on logistics. There are only 140 million people on the island, how many of them are adult men? Capture tens of thousands, kill tens of thousands, just like in Gaza, surely that would be enough to suppress them?"

That's certainly true.

As a place with a severe aging population, Okinawa has 26% of its population aged 65 and over, approximately 32 people. The total number of adult men capable of fighting is about 43. As Joseph Ryan said, by killing tens of thousands and arresting tens of thousands, the backbone of Okinawa's society has been completely destroyed, creating a comprehensive break in culture, industry, technology and lifestyle.

Li Xinghe smiled but didn't say anything.

After leaving the meeting, Li Xinghe contacted Zhang Xiaoqian:

"In the next two months, more and more Okinawan men will be tortured and even massacred by the US military. You should be prepared. Based on the behavior of the US military in Afghanistan and Iraq, at least tens of thousands of people will die in Okinawa... and the population will be lost by 200,000 to 300,000."

Zhang Xiaoqian was somewhat lost at one point.

Tens of thousands of people died...

The U.S. military has a long history of abusing and killing children, and is known for its cowardice and bullying of the weak. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan resulted in the deaths of at least 6 civilians, of whom the U.S. military admitted to approximately 40 crimes, 40% of which were the ruthless murders of children.

Furthermore, according to the US military's investigation report in Iraq, of the more than 3,500 firing reports of the US military in a year, more than 95% involved the arbitrary killing of civilians for amusement. A significant portion of these incidents involved forcibly entering homes in the middle of the night, killing husbands, raping women, torturing children to death, setting fire to houses, and then shelling entire villages to cover up the evidence.

Given their terrible habits, it's unimaginable what they would do in Okinawa.

"You need to be prepared."

Li Xinghe gave the instructions.

"What preparations?"

Zhang Xiaoqian was stunned, and then he was scolded by the boss:

"Idiot, of course we should bring in more Chinese people willing to risk their lives, and take the opportunity to prioritize allocating vacant houses and women there. Guess what the Veterans Affairs Bureau's veterans data is for?"

This unconventional thinking was something Zhang Xiaoqian couldn't keep up with:

"You mean, to conduct a comprehensive survey of Okinawa..."

"Of course we need to carry out a population replacement! Use every method you can think of to get Okinawan men and boys out of Okinawa and bring in Chinese veterans. Battlefield weddings, temporary introductions, buying them, sending guards to widows' homes—isn't it easy to arrange marriages at this time of year? Can't you use such a simple method?"

Li Xinghe said ruthlessly.

Although brutal, war is a source of population renewal.

Since the start of the conflict, more than 150,000 people have fled Okinawa, half men and half women. Those remaining on the island are either the elderly and children, or impoverished people unable to escape. The population is projected to drop from 1.4 million to 11 million, or even 1 million, by November.

The 32 elderly people are naturally bound to be affected, but they have little reproductive value. The truly valuable ones are the 30+ women of childbearing age.

Just like Li Xinghe's previous plan to bring 200 million Chinese people to Tokyo, the population replacement in Okinawa doesn't need to be large. Just 3 to 5 Chinese men entering Okinawa and forming families with locals would be enough to make up more than 10% of adult households. This proportion would be sufficient to solidify the foundation for continued population expansion in the following years.

There are millions of single men in any province in China, so this kind of exchange is incredibly appealing. Putting these single men in Okinawa, giving them some economic subsidies to stabilize their lives, and with Okinawa straddling Japan and Taiwan, it's practically like completely tearing apart the first island chain and driving a nail between Japan and Taiwan.

When the postwar Japanese government wants to cause trouble, it can constantly provoke regional hotspots and repeatedly provoke Japan's fragile nerves.

After figuring out Li Xinghe's strategy, Zhang Xiaoqian sighed with admiration:

"Boss, you're like a living devil."

"Even the King of Hell praised me like that."

Li Xinghe answered.

……

After a day of reminiscing, Li Xinghe returned to the hotel and announced that he would evacuate back to Tokyo as soon as possible.

The battle for Okinawa has entered a stage where tanks are pushing and bombs are exploding, and Li Xinghe is not prepared to let his family take risks here.

But that very evening, Misato took the revised script to her son's room to discuss it:

"Sp's script has been slightly revised again, with the addition of some special elements."

Political innuendo.

What hint is being given?

She handed the script to Li Xinghe.

original,

The ninth episode's special has already decided to make a sequel, which envisions a beautiful future where Okinawa is free of US military bases, and the Empress and socialists go to Okinawa to bring peace and stability.

"What?"

Li Xinghe was stunned.

Is a socialist country under a female emperor really going to take its actions all the way to Okinawa?

Li Xinghe realized that Sato Tsuyoshi, Adachi Masao, and their ilk had definitely harbored irredeemable sexual fantasies about anarchism. It was a kind of life pleasure that they hated to the extreme yet couldn't resist—they could simultaneously criticize anarchists while promoting their own female emperor socialist plan to Okinawa.
