Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"Mulan, use your Democratic Party news network. If the New York Times ran a story about 'American oligarchs trying to flee to China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore through investment immigration,' how do you think the United States would react?"

This is no joke from Li Xinghe.

With everyone anticipating major events at the end of the year, not only are the super-rich secretly fleeing, but even ordinary middle-class Americans are consciously and quietly heading to Europe to avoid the storm.

Lin Mulan

Naturally, one might think of:

"The media will go crazy, the public will go into extreme frenzy, and far-right groups will create disturbances, vandalize and assassinate leaders of capitalist companies. There will be shootings, sieges, infighting, and struggles."

Li Xinghe said with great satisfaction:

"That's the reaction I wanted. I'll send you the list of company representatives attending the meeting later. Also, help keep an eye on Emman and make sure she doesn't take painkillers."

Lin Mulan on the other end of the phone scoffed.

She really wanted to complain, but considering that she had indeed taken contraceptive measures, she could only grit her teeth and be more careful next time.

Americans are undeniably confident, but this confidence stems from foolishness and constant media indoctrination. If they were to actually discover that the owners of America's proudest corporations are fleeing, even to China, Japan, and South Korea, their fragile egos would inevitably erupt in public opinion, accusing them of defecting. Far-right neo-Nazi organizations would certainly compare these fleeing company leaders to Jews.

In fact, this fragile mentality can also be observed in the Japanese. It can only be said that the United States has transformed the Japanese so thoroughly that many of America's problems can be traced back to Japan.

This is precisely the 'new bayonet in the back' incident that Li Xinghe wanted to create.

In any case, there is a considerable number of neo-Nazis running rampant in the United States now, and anti-Semitic sentiment is on the rise. With just a little guidance, far-right groups will actively shape it into a prelude to Kristallnacht.

After arranging things on the American side, Li Xinghe added Takajo Satsuki and Yajima Hiromu to a chat group and sent them a message:

"May, Xiao Xun, I'm sure you're wondering what's going on. Officials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry are being entertained by representatives of American oligarchs and conglomerates on a luxury cruise ship. They're discussing how American oligarchs will inject capital into major Japanese companies, cut workers, default on debts, raise prices to exploit residents, and ultimately leave the debts to the Japanese residents while giving the profits to American shareholders."

This is exactly what American capital does after taking over foreign companies. Of course, they're not doing charity; they want to squeeze every last drop of profit out of them and take it home.

But then again, this is also a blessing for the Japanese.

Americans are also afraid of being taken advantage of by Japan.

The infamous Renault CEO escape case occurred after Nissan fell into difficulties and brought in Renault for management support. The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and conglomerates, aiming to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, planned to imprison Carlos Ghosn and reclaim the global laughingstock Nissan had created. Carlos Ghosn escaped back to France with just a small suitcase, becoming a stain on Japanese legal history.

Now they want to sell Nissan; American oligarchs aren't idiots.

When it comes to ripping off foreigners, countries like Japan and India are practically on par. Japan's history of counterfeiting and defrauding foreign investors alone is enough to make India pale in comparison. A prime example is the Takata seatbelt business in Japan. After being acquired by Ningbo Joyson Electronics, 900 million seatbelts were found to be counterfeit. This company holds a 30% share of the global car seatbelt market, and once the scandal broke, the Chinese businessman would have to bear the blame.

South Korea's business environment is far better than Japan's. It's just that Japan is adept at manipulating public opinion, while India, as a nation whose social status is second only to the Dalits (a subgroup of Black Africans), is routinely ridiculed globally.

Li Xinghe received a reply immediately.

Yajima Hiroshi, who had been secretly avoiding Li Xinghe these past few days, immediately called, also bringing along Takajo Satsuki:

"What do you want us to do?" - The Search for the Red Halberd.

"Do you want to do self-media promotion?" asked Little May, wearing a yellow hat.

Li Xinghe said definitively:

"Of course. In May, immediately mobilize your social media and virtual idols to spread the word through anonymous submissions. Xiao Xun, hurry up and mobilize your manpower; we need to prepare for a tough battle."

"Hmph, let me show you the power of our Red Halberd Society."

The Red Halberd Society is the official name of the red gangster organization organized by Yajima Hiroshi after it grew stronger. The reason is self-evident: "The red flag unfurls the serf's halberd, and the black hand hangs high with the tyrant's whip."

The mobilization of local revolutionary forces has begun.

Li Xinghe changed his phone again, mobilized Lin Youzi, an anti-establishment figure, and told her the truth, saying:

"The US has far-right militias and far-left thugs, so Japan should have some violence too, right? How about we create a fist-related organization called the Japan Naturalization Movement Association and start attacking the Japanese government?"

Lin Youzi perked up immediately upon hearing this and asked:

"What should we call it?"

Li Xinghe thought for a moment and came up with a very unrefined name:

"Kamikaze Special Attack Corps".

"That's terrible. Americans will react negatively and switch to another country. Besides, be careful of the people with ties to China and the US who might criticize you."

As expected of Hayashi Yuko, she actually knows that Chinese people hate things related to Japan during World War II. Just this fact alone puts her ahead of 99% of Japanese people.

However, the Chinese generally treat the Kamikaze pilots as jokes, since they were considered incredibly stupid and primarily targeted American troops. It's generally acceptable as long as they aren't referred to by names like the Manchurian Colonization Army, which carries a heavy criminal connotation.

But since Lin Youzi brought up the attitude of Americans, Li Xinghe readily agreed:

"Then let's change it to... National Volunteer Corps? At the end of World War II, didn't the Japanese government claim to be willing to die for the Emperor and form a lot of volunteer corps?"

Lin Youzi reluctantly agreed, but what she was more concerned about was:

"Where are we going to find manpower? We've already fabricated the names Hirokazu Rei and Amakusa Maki, but we can't just fabricate a whole group of people, can we?"

Li Xinghe certainly had reserves:

"Have you met my daughter, Xiao Ai? Her biological mother is called Azuma Kyoka. She has a Chinese driver gang called the Boxer Rebellion. Contact her, and she'll give you manpower."

Having mobilized all of his forces, both on and off the field, Li Xinghe was eager to see how the Tokyo Metropolitan City team would fare.

In the past, when Japan held demonstrations, the most they did was shout and curse.

With the far-left Red Spear Society organized by Hiroshi Yajima on one side and the National Guard disguised as the Boxers on the other, the Japanese government is in for a tough time.

How about just smashing up the US embassy?

There cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two masters on earth.

Tokyo doesn't need a second sun.

Author's note: Thank you for your support. 4600 words.

Chapter 598: Arrest the Traitor and Occupy Nagata-cho! (4500 words)

Late at night, the Swan Princess cruise ship was still filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and lively conversation.

The bureaucrats at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) had a strange idea: that as long as they dumped these heavily indebted companies on American investors, they could disappear from the public eye and no longer have to take care of these hugely indebted companies whose liabilities exceeded their assets.

Li Xinghe repeatedly proclaimed that he wanted to buy a Nissan, but no one believed him.

Not to mention him, even the American oligarchs don't approve of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's investment plan:

"Nissan...is under too much debt pressure..."

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) wants Americans to take over, wants American capital to fill the gaps, but doesn't want American capital to gain complete control—in short, it highlights a classic case of wanting to have it all. It's like those Japanese businesses in tourist areas, wanting tourists to pay at the airport and immediately return home; they want to profit from tourists but don't want them to come in.

The result of this mentality is that the traitorous gathering organized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) was actually a case of American oligarchs bringing money in, only to find that the companies they wanted to buy were being hoarded by METI, while the companies that METI wanted to promote had rather ridiculously difficult terms for cooperation.

Just as Li Xinghe tried to incite public opinion, a significant reason why American oligarchs are now running around the world is to escape the fierce conflicts in the 2028 election.

Of course, another reason is that they have seen the foundation of the dollar's hegemony begin to crumble, and now it's time to sit on the fence.

If going to Japan is out of the question, what about Singapore? Or Hong Kong?

There just so happens to be a scoundrel on site who has connections everywhere.

As the situation progressed into the latter half of the night, after several drinks, Li Xinghe began to boast wildly to the Americans:

"Friends, how about I introduce a project in Shanghai? I also have connections in Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, and Hefei."

Labor-intensive processing plants, pharmaceutical research institutes, or technology development companies—I know them all too well, let me tell you…

"Immigration? Immigration is easy. Go through my channels, and I'll help you get settled in Shanghai. I guarantee you'll be able to relax in your new home and enjoy the show until the end of the year."

"Safety is absolutely guaranteed. As long as you bring the money over there to invest in and open a factory, you'll be welcomed away with great fanfare. But be careful to go to the provincial capital."

"Not running a factory? You can also manage your finances. As long as you don't invest in the stock market, there are opportunities everywhere."

Anyway, according to Li Xinghe's boasting, fleeing to China for refuge at this time is incredibly appealing. Just deposit your money in the bank, eat, drink, and have fun all over the country, and then you can withdraw your money and go back home after the US presidential election.

As for how he knew?

That's because he has a good friend, Lin Mulan, who is of Hong Kong descent and has both Chinese and indigenous heritage.

Officials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry glared at the young man with hatred, knowing full well that Li Xinghe was deliberately causing trouble.

He wanted to buy a Nissan car, but the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry wouldn't give him the opportunity, so he ruined this traitorous event.

They talked until midnight before the officials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, unable to bear it any longer, kicked Li Xinghe out of the room.

"What's there to be afraid of? Don't you know the conditions are ridiculously unfair?"

Li Xinghe strolled back to his room.

Then we had sex all night.

……

The next day.

Li Xinghe's plan is starting to take effect.

The Chosun Ilbo took the lead, publishing an article titled "Shameless Sell-out: Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Officials Enjoy Hospitality from American Oligarchs on Luxury Cruise Ship."

The article is extremely radical. Like a mad dog, it first reviews how badly South Korea suffered during the 1997 financial crisis and how it was nearly killed by the United States. Then it goes on to criticize the Japanese government for being shameless, saying that the Bank of Japan held 70 trillion yen in stocks but allowed the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to sell off large companies, etc.

Of course, since the Chosun Ilbo targeted Japanese individuals, the South Korean right wing hasn't had time to examine the detailed family histories of these Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry officials. Otherwise, they would certainly have found Chinese descendants among them and then pointed at them, hurling accusations of being 'Chinese spies.'

In the past few years, the South Korean right wing has been scrutinizing their opponents' family trees with a magnifying glass, starting from their ancestors to label them as "Chinese" or "of Chinese descent." This behavior has become so perverse that they have gone so far as to label all descendants of surnames like Lu and Jiang, which are derived from Chinese, as Chinese and then launch a frenzied attack.

According to this method used by the South Korean right wing, Park Chung-hee, Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, and others would all have to be registered as Chinese citizens.

South Korean assassins team up, with both China and the United States joining in.

The difference is that the Chinese media reports were quite restrained, focusing on describing the lavish hospitality of American capital, the layoffs, salary reductions, and defaults after the company was sold, and reviewing the Renault CEO's escape.

The US is much crazier.

Republican-affiliated media outlets immediately launched into headlines like "American Capital Flees to China," unabashedly criticizing American capital for using Japan as a springboard to escape to safer regions, and simultaneously slashing at China.

Democratic-affiliated media outlets, on the other hand, focused on examining the "Great Capital Flight from America During the Trump Administration's Fourth Year in Office," arguing that capital was used to undermine Trump, manipulate public opinion, and win votes.

The most vocal protesters are the far-right social media outlets.

They betrayed America.

The day when $60 billion a loaf of bread is not far off.

The highly suggestive headlines quickly sparked conflict between anti-Semitism and Jewish people.

They viewed these American capitals seeking safer places as "Jewish capital after Germany's defeat in World War I," a vivid manifestation of having bayonets in their backs; Jewish capital would betray Germany, and therefore would betray America.

As for the sentiment of German defeat emerging in the US even though it wasn't at war, one should naturally ask Trump. It was this man who ushered in an era of massive inflation in the US, repeatedly draining the wealth of its citizens.

A massive wave of public opinion began to surge from the media outlets of China, the United States, and South Korea.

Then, media outlets from China, Japan, South Korea, and Europe flooded into Japan. Even though Japanese media remained silent, messages from social media and various WeChat Moments still stirred up hundreds of thousands of employees who were about to face layoffs, causing turmoil in Tokyo.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the yakuza group that Li Xinghe had deployed began to attack Nagata-cho.

Hiroshi Yajima, wearing a red helmet, a red face mask, and overalls, confronted the police on the street with his followers, who were holding five- or six-meter-long sticks and large shields.

The police officers across the street looked helpless; they had all been severely reprimanded by the Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner that morning.

"They're attacking Nagata-cho every few days, with bombs and car chases, and now they're holding protests. Do they think Nagata-cho is some kind of dumping ground where they can just come and do whatever they want?! Fight them back!"

However, when faced with the police's large shields and helmets, the far-left and far-right extremists on the other side were clearly more determined to fight.

As a far-left faction, and a gang in Tokyo that was involved with agricultural cooperatives and fought bloody battles over vegetables, the Red Spear Society was already an expert in street fighting. Smoke bombs, incendiary bombs, shields against shields, long sticks smashing down, a Roman legion-style battle unfolded.

The police, outnumbered and unable to fire, retreated step by step, their formation broken by madmen like Atsunobu Usuda who drove self-destructing trucks.

With a red flag unfurled, the Red Halberd Society charged through the Toranomon Gate and stormed into Nagata-cho.

"Red Halberd Society, forward! Forward!"

"Occupy Nagata-cho! Down with corrupt bureaucrats! Down with incompetent politicians!"

More than a thousand core personnel stormed in, and red flags fluttered everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground.

Meanwhile, another group of people, fully armed and with their faces concealed, scaled the wall from the north side of the Supreme Court and stormed in.

Wearing white vests with slogans like "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" and "Japan Unification Movement" written on them, they directly waved Chinese national flags and engaged in physical combat with the defending police—an unrestricted fighting tournament.

The awkward thing is that the Japanese police's close-quarters combat skills are still too weak, far inferior to these lunatics on the other side.

Behind them, a large gang followed and caused trouble, looking for an opportunity to beat up the police and drive them back from the Supreme Court to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"struggle!"
