Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Will he realize that he can get to Fuji TV in Odaiba by taking a detour from Harumi Bridge on the east side?

After a full four minutes of silence, Naoto Maeda finally replied:

“Alright, gentlemen’s agreement. I will release the women, the elderly, and the children here, and you will clear the road to the south.”

An agreement has been reached.

Naoto Maeda's staff released 20 female and senior lawmakers, including Ayako Aso, as a gesture of goodwill. Of course, these 20 individuals had to sign their consent to the constitutional amendment before they could leave.

.

“Xinghe! Hua Yingmei won’t come out. She says she can help you better from inside.”

When Ayako Aso fled to this place, she was so frightened that she was completely disoriented, but she still managed to keep the overall situation in check.

Li Xinghe bit his lip.

Indeed, if she were to appear, the spineless members of Congress might actually agree to the bill.

But this is dangerous, so we have to speed up the plan and move the Self-Defense Forces away from Nagata Town.

Li Xinghe ordered his subordinates to evacuate the Tiger Gate intersection, opening a passage for the Self-Defense Forces.

"Great!"

The staff and officers of the First Division cheered, believing that Li Xinghe had succumbed to the pressure and decided to back down. All they had to do was go to the nearby Tokyo Television station to announce the success of the coup to the entire nation, and Japan would be transformed from a defeated nation into a normal country!

But after putting down his phone, Naoto Maeda completely disagreed with the plan to head south to Toranomon and then to the Tokyo TV Tower.

He said to his subordinates:

"Who knows if that kid Li Xinghe has plotted against us? We can't guarantee he won't take the opportunity to ambush us. It's already late at night, and the drones can't fly anymore. We should immediately mobilize some elite troops, take the Uchibori Road along the Imperial Palace, head southeast towards Hibiya, take a straight line to Harumi Bridge, reach the Odaiba artificial island, and then occupy the Fuji Television headquarters."

This route bypasses the battlefield and is only a dozen kilometers long. If you drive fast, you can get there in ten minutes.

"A mere ten minutes..."

The staff members fell into deep thought.

If Li Xinghe's drones couldn't find their target in the dark, and they didn't use helicopters or other aerial strike vehicles, then it would seem quite good if a few hundred soldiers in highly mobile Humvees could rush to Fuji TV in less than 10 minutes.

Now is the moment to gamble with their lives. Can these ten crucial minutes help them defy fate and reach the television station to announce the success of the coup?

After simple but direct consideration, Naoo Maeda made a resolute judgment:

"I personally led the charge. I refuse to believe that they could catch up so quickly in less than ten minutes."

Since charging forward would definitely lead to an ambush by Li Xinghe, it's better to take a detour and go to Fuji Television.

At this point, Naoto Maeda was unaware that he had made two mistakes.

First, even in complete darkness, the most advanced night-vision drones can still take off and track targets. Second, Fuji Television had already sold its major shares to Li Xinghe, and there was a simulated enemy division being formed on the Reiwa artificial island. Li Xinghe deliberately let the First Division take the route via the Harumi Bridge.

"They moved...they moved..."

Under the surveillance of drones, the Coastal Combat Brigade immediately discovered a line of vehicles moving southeast behind the Self-Defense Forces.

Perhaps the Self-Defense Forces' drones are no longer operational, but that's because they're using outdated and worthless equipment. Li Xinghe, however, possesses the latest night-vision drones, capable of discerning the movements of these remnants of the Self-Defense Forces in the dark.

When Li Xinghe discovered that Maeda Naoko was leading a convoy from Uchihori-dori to Harumi Bridge, he finally felt relieved.

Bet right.

He immediately slammed his fist on the table and gave the order:

"Gentlemen's agreement? Screw gentlemen's agreement. Where are all those North Korean suicide drones with 50-kilogram payloads? Drop them all on board!"

In just a few minutes, Self-Defense Force officers drove high-speed vehicles at 100 kilometers per hour on an empty road and crashed onto the Harumi Bridge.

The drone pilots on Li Xinghe's side launched suicide drones like raindrops, creating huge explosions on the Qinghai Bridge. All the suicide drones, each with a 50-kilogram explosive charge, were also launched onto the bridge at once.

Boom!

A massive fire, visible from Tokyo Bay, erupted on the Harumi Bridge, which connects Ginza to Tsukishima and the Odaiba artificial island. The bridge, which has three sections (left, center, and right), completely severed the central Metropolitan Expressway 10 due to intense bombing by heavy suicide drones. Type 73 trucks and high-speed vehicles were piled up and burned, and dozens of Self-Defense Force soldiers and officers were reduced to ashes in the fire.

However, just as Li Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, several high-speed vehicles suddenly sped out from the small bridges on both sides of Qinghai Bridge.

Those walking along the main road ahead are all bait for Naoto Maeda.

Naoto Maeda sat in the car, floored the accelerator, and yelled at Li Xinghe on the other end of the phone:

"These are the ten minutes of destiny, let's gamble with our lives!"

The author says:

Author's note: Thank you for your support. Here is 5100 words.

Chapter 590: Li Xinghe, the Transnational Marriage Agent – ​​Who Will Control Him? (5600 words)

"First round of voting on the constitutional amendments."

"Approved."

"I don't agree!"

Please state your reasons for disagreeing.

"Such an amendment will severely damage Japan's global image. The image of Japan as a victim of the atomic bomb, which we have painstakingly cultivated since World War II, will be completely destroyed. All of Japan's overseas commercial interests will also be..."

Inside the recently bombed Diet hall, members of parliament, under the watchful eyes of officers from the Japan Restoration Association, were going through a lengthy and repetitive voting process.

In the first round of voting on the constitutional amendment, fewer than 30 people voted in favor, while the rest voted against it.

"Why are you so unwilling to let Japan become a normal country?"

The Self-Defense Force officer overseeing the vote was furious and cursed the members of parliament as traitors who were ruining the country, just like the old Imperial Army officers who shouted "God punish the traitors" 100 years ago.

Shika Yuchi and Hua Yingmei curled the corners of Mio's mouth, creating a magical effect.

These officers understand neither politics nor economics, and probably still harbor the illusion that "Japan is the best in the world." They routinely read right-wing newspapers like Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri Shimbun, absorbing the media brainwashing message of "Japan is the best" from them every day.

This is the group of people who actually launched a coup in Parliament and successfully occupied it.

This was much easier than the martial law coup attempt by Yoon Seok-yeol, which shows the relaxed atmosphere in Japanese politics.

When the officer insulted Hua Yingmei, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up to retort:

"Do you understand national politics? Do you know how many dollars the United States demands from us in military spending every year? How do you know how to deal with the U.S. State Department? If you were in charge of national affairs, Chinese guerrillas would land in Kyushu tomorrow!"

The Japanese usually use "America" ​​to refer to the United States, but there is also a more formal official name using a single kanji character, which is "美国" (Meiguo), which sounds similar to the Chinese pronunciation. Other countries, such as England, Germany, France, and Italy, each have their own single characters; Germany is simply called "独国" (Duguo).

When Lu Yuchihua Yingmei sternly rebuked them, these far-right officers, who were not very bright, did not dare to refute them.

After all, they really don't understand.

Speaking of Chinese guerrillas, Kenichiro Nagumo had just died in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture. It was because of this that Self-Defense Force officers plotted a coup in an attempt to change the country's impoverished and weak state.

Therefore, these officers could only continue to urge members of Congress to continue voting.

If the first round isn't enough, then we'll have a second round.

If the second round doesn't work, then the third round.

If a disobedient legislator is warned first, then dragged out and beaten, I don't believe we can't get a two-thirds majority to pass.

……

Qinghai Bridge.

Half of the ten minutes that determine fate have already passed.

By selling the lives of dozens of his subordinates, Maeda Naoo tricked Li Xinghe into giving him a swarm of suicide drones. He drove his car across the Harumi Bridge, heading south, passing through the Harumi Artificial Island, and reaching the Ariake Artificial Island. Then he turned southwest onto the coastal road and sped towards the Odaiba Artificial Island.

The journey has not been smooth.

The colonel led several hundred soldiers forward, but the entire road from Ariake Artificial Island westward toward Odaiba was filled with sniper fire and artillery.

Especially at the corner where the army was turning, in that kindergarten with the sign "Gaoji Consortium," an entire anti-vehicle company was unexpectedly hidden.

Taking advantage of the situation, they launched a large number of anti-tank missiles and rockets that had already been deployed, setting a large number of military vehicles on fire and turning them into a chain of Japanese skewers, burning more than a hundred Self-Defense Force soldiers to ashes.

The Self-Defense Forces, of course, had no idea that this kindergarten was Koizumi Shinjiro's payment to Li Xinghe. Li Xinghe's men could easily infiltrate their boss's property and set up an ambush there.

"Go! Go quickly!"

In the pitch black, Maeda Naoyuki could only frantically urge his subordinates to continue advancing. The high-mobility vehicles, which had no defensive capabilities, charged forward at high speed, leaving less than 20 military vehicles behind.

From Ariake Island to Odaiba Island, various forest parks, tennis courts, wastelands, and bridge crossings seem to be hiding anti-vehicle squads everywhere. Missiles and drones fly erratically in the air, and military vehicles can't even see where the enemy is before they are blown up and burned, becoming small cauldrons for roasting the Japanese.

The aroma of cooked meat wafted along the way.

One by one, the military vehicles that were set ablaze and exploded resembled funeral bonfires in the darkness, sending Maeda Naoo's convoy into the abyss.

"Damn it! Damn it! How many troops are they hiding?"

At this point, Maeda Naoyuki had not yet realized that Li Xinghe was deliberately leading him to leave Nagatacho. He was still suspicious that the number of American troops deployed in Tokyo far exceeded the number reported to the Self-Defense Forces.

In reality, what the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were unaware of was that although Li Xinghe's Coastal Combat Brigade was a brigade, it actually numbered in the tens of thousands, dispersed across multiple US military bases, making it larger than a division. They had always believed that this combat brigade was simply a US military brigade with fewer than four thousand personnel.

After all, the First Division is the top elite unit of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's number one division, so how could it possibly lose to a trash brigade composed of immigrants from various countries?

From the moment the T-72 tank and the Jeep heavy infantry fighting vehicle appeared, the whole night felt strange.

When Colonel Naoto Maeda had less than 10 people left with him and only a three-wheeled motor vehicle crashed into Fuji Television, he was overjoyed to see the brightly lit television building where people were still working overtime.

He even made a special phone call to Li Xinghe:

"I won those ten minutes of destiny!"

"what?"

Li Xinghe on the other end of the phone felt very frustrated.

Seriously? Your interpretation makes me feel like I'm not involved at all.

"You wait, I'll send a chariot to send you to the sky right away."

Li Xinghe didn't know how to complain, so he could only use Wu Xue's lines and give a weak reply.

There was absolutely no sincerity in their performance.

Naoto Maeda hung up the phone excitedly.

Although Li Xinghe's pursuers were right behind him, Colonel Maeda Naoo believed that as long as he appeared on television and issued a declaration of an emergency state of war to the whole country, his comrades who remained in the Diet would then order the members of parliament to pass the constitutional amendment, and he could immediately lead Japan to greatness again.

They abandoned the car outside the TV station, and Colonel Maeda gave the following orders:

"Leave four people at the door to stall for time, the rest of you come up with me."

When he personally led his Type 89 rifle, along with five staff members and guards armed with long guns and short cannons, into Fujidai, the female administrator in the hall was terrified, and screams rose and fell.

"We are the Great Japanese Empire Restoration Association! I am Maeda, the acting commander of the 1st Division. Take me to the studio!"

Colonel Maeda pressed around for answers, only to find that the employees there were like robots—they could only scream and didn't know how to obey.

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and a dignified and lovely woman stared at the soldiers in disbelief.

"You are... news anchor Reimi Tsutsumi?"

Colonel Maeda and the others quickly recognized her.

As the most right-leaning and now most money-driven television station in the past, Remi Tsutsumi is a well-known beauty within the Self-Defense Forces. Upon seeing her, Naoto Maeda immediately holstered his pistol and said to her, "Take us to the studio!"

Tsutsumi Remi was terrified. She looked around and then said cautiously, "The elevator can't hold that many people."

"Leave three behind, we'll go up."

Without a second thought, Maeda Naoko, accompanied by only two subordinates, followed Tsutsumi Reiji up in the elevator.

Everything seemed normal.

But why does something still feel off to me?

Colonel Lieutenant ...

Upon entering the room, they found it filled with burly Russian and Chinese men, surrounding them completely.

The room contained sandbags and machine guns. A bearded Russian man, who looked Chinese, smiled at Naoto Maeda.

"Hehe, old man, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

This feeling, like being scammed—a beautiful woman before entering the door, but a burly man extorting him afterward—filled Maeda Naoya with indignation. Just as he was about to draw his gun, Xu Baofeng punched him in the chin, causing him to immediately lose consciousness.

When Xu Baofeng knocked out the skinny Maeda Naoto with a single punch, Colonel Maeda finally realized what the problem was.

Yes, the woman who had been leading him forward, the woman named Remi Tsutsumi, she wasn't flustered at all.
