Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

It was late at night.

A car with fake license plates drove out of the vicinity of the Pentagon and arrived at the doorstep of each Federal Election Commission.

"Your package, sir."

As the door opened, the masked Li Xinghe raised a pistol, pointed it at the federal officials, and handed them Trump's candidacy documents.

"Sign it, or die."

With the dark muzzle of a gun pointed at them, the federal election commissioners had no choice but to sign the consent form.

Thanks to Li Xinghe's midnight raid, the Federal Election Commission finally agreed to accept Trump's campaign documents.

However, they also stated that whether or not they can participate in the election depends on a new interpretation of the law by the Supreme Court, and the election will proceed as normal while the interpretation is being carried out.

In short, they evaded responsibility, allowing the blame to fall on the Supreme Court.

……

But simply agreeing to the election and delaying the process is far from enough.

Li Xinghe was soon approached by Vice President Vance.

Vance had left the White House and set up his own campaign office. He knew that Li Xinghe had arrived in Washington and was frequenting the White House, but he didn't want to take responsibility for the wounded soldiers in Okinawa, so he hadn't shown up.

Possible

He appeared when Trump officially announced his candidacy.

He arranged to meet Li Xinghe at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park, where the two began their conversation over a box of Domino's pizza and two cups of coffee.

Why didn't you talk to me when you came back?

Van Siming asked a question he already knew the answer to.

Li Xinghe could only shake his head: "Nobody wants to see me. I'm leading a large group of wounded soldiers, like a beggar, searching for someone to take me in between the White House, Congress, and the Pentagon. Now that nobody's paying attention to me, I realize how difficult it is to survive in Washington."

That's theoretically true; Li Xinghe was trying to find new homes for the wounded soldiers, but no one wanted them.

Vance wasn't there for this matter at all; he abruptly changed the subject: "Is the president really going to force an election?"

"I'm not quite sure."

Li Xinghe shook his head repeatedly.

The question now is, under which party affiliation will Trump run for office?

If it were the Republicans, it would be a direct battle for votes with Vance, not to mention Vance is accompanied by Donald Trump Jr. It would practically become a three-way free-for-all between the emperor, the crown prince, and the vice emperor. To protect the Republican Party's electoral base, they certainly can't allow them to split the votes like this.

However, if Trump were to leave the Republican Party and establish his own 'Trump Party,' it would seem to be an even more devastating blow to the party. Although most people dislike the Maga, the Maga are surprisingly loyal to Trump, with a particularly large number of die-hard fans.

Vance was extremely agitated:

"The problem now is that if I split the vote with Trump, we are bound to lose."

Li Xinghe felt that Vance's defeatist mood was unnecessary, and he reminded Vance:

"Instead of blaming yourself, why not blame others? Compared to the Republican Party, which shares more similar ideologies, the Democratic Party is more fragmented, a party pieced together from various local forces, isn't it? Let them split, let them run against each other, I think you have to do that, and you, President Trump, and even Gavin Newsom are all on the same page about this."

There is no law prohibiting a party from having only one candidate, nor is it required that candidates be affiliated with a party. In fact, every US presidential election sees thousands of independent or partisan candidates participating. It's just that the alternation of the Democratic and Republican parties often leads people to mistakenly believe that the US has a constitutionally mandated two-party system.

Vance only needs to find another Democratic candidate to split the votes.

Gavin Newsom, Whitmer, Shapiro, and many more.

"It seems that's the only way. Tell Trump that our cooperation is still valid."

Vance left the pizza and walked away, leaving Li Xinghe happy to eat it all by himself.

Soon, just when the Democratic Party was almost able to declare victory in the national election, former California governor Gavin Newsom, who had raised tens of millions of dollars in campaign funds but failed to even finish the party primaries, finally announced that he would join the 2028 Democratic presidential race to compete against Jeffries and Clara.

Newsom, representing the West Coast, announced:

“It is a great tragedy that a group of people from New England on the East Coast are trying to represent the whole country. I will fight for the West Coast, for voters in California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and other states, and together we will fight for 2028.”

Gavin Newsom also has his reasons for not wanting to lose. He raised a large sum of money, but failed in the primaries, leaving him unable to explain himself to his financial backers. Furthermore, he has already resigned from his post in California, and his presidential approval rating will rapidly decline if he doesn't quickly bolster his campaign.

More importantly, while Trump's 'third-term campaign' has shocked the United States and the world, it is clear that he no longer has sufficient manpower, energy, and ability to complete a third run for re-election. Public opinion this year no longer belongs to Trump; his approval rating is arguably less than 30%.

Therefore, it can be said that now, as long as you dare to vote, you will definitely get votes.

There's no law stipulating that the electoral votes from all 51 states can only go to two people. What if it becomes a four-person race between Trump, Vance, Newsom, and Jeffries for the state electoral votes and the national vote?

Newsom, in any case, cannot allow Jeffries, the "Little Obama," to easily win a second term.

Back home on North Ridge, these American girls were completely baffled by such bizarre changes in the situation.

Will he win?

Li Xinghe said definitively:

“He will not win. The timing is wrong and the conditions are not right. His four years in office have been exceptionally bad. Whether it is his age or the one-month campaign period, he is far from achieving his goals.”

"Then why..."

Jill kicked Li Xinghe's thigh.

Li Xinghe pinned her down with his hand:

"But we will win, we will win big."

……

10 month 5 day.

After Li Xinghe's family members learned that he had fled to Washington, his phone kept ringing.

To reassure his family, Li Xinghe drove while answering the phone, then went to the White House, took a photo with Trump, and sent it to his family to comfort them.

Taking this opportunity, Li Xinghe offered advice to Trump:

"You need some military achievements? Yes, some victories. Some good news enough for the national media to sing your praises."

"Yeah. But they played terribly."

Trump couldn't help but sigh.

The battlefield in Okinawa is in a terrible state, far from what Trump expected.

"I have a way."

Li Xinghe told Trump to wait for good news, and then he called Zhang Xiaoqian: "The battlefield needs to be escalated. Most Okinawans are still pro-Japanese and pro-American, which is not what we expected. Let's use the most brutal blood and fire to wake them up."

"What should I do? I'm not very smart."

Li Xinghe explained:

“It’s very simple. I will tell the American troops on the other side that they must produce merits. And you can suspend your harassment attacks for a few days. Therefore, they must kill innocent people to gain merit, and kill Saki Masumi, the leader of the political alliance in Okinawa that is most supportive of the US military, in exchange for military merits.”

“You’re so shameless,” Zhang Xiaoqian blurted out.

"I'm your boss, show some respect."

"You're so immoral."

Li Xinghe hung up the phone immediately.

Then he sat down across from Trump, picked up the phone on the table, and called Josephine Hilbert, the mayor of the 11th Airborne Division, to remind him:

"General, this is the White House, the Oval Office. The President wants to see a victory, a victory that will bring him national recognition. Do you understand?"

The big white guy on the other side was furious and immediately retaliated:

"Of course we know! But the problem is, what about intelligence? What about logistical support? Do you know how difficult things are for us right now? The rebels' night offensive is already approaching Ginowan City, and the Futenma Air Station's airfield is no longer operating smoothly due to enemy drone harassment. All our logistical support consists of some flour and bullets that are airlifted daily from the Japan Self-Defense Forces on Kyushu Island to Kadena Air Base! We don't even have artillery shells! Right now, in order to get enough to eat, our soldiers have to steal food from the civilians and buy food from the rebels' black market. Are you kidding me? Fighting here is no different from fighting in enemy-occupied territory in China!"

The general's anger traveled thousands of miles along the undersea cable across the ocean, reaching Li Xinghe's ears like an endless hurricane blowing across the Pacific, unsettling his mind.

This is the current state of the US military.

They had an army, but no logistics. They had bullets, but no shells.

The logistics of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' army were also abysmal, resulting in the US military, despite having a large force of nearly three divisions, being in a state of utter exhaustion and unable to take down drones throughout the Okinawa campaign. Meanwhile, the opposing guerrilla forces, numbering only one or two thousand, were able to launch swarms of drone attacks at night.

Now, with the increase in the number of guerrillas and their commanders, they have even begun to deploy large artillery pieces in residential areas and repeatedly bombard the Futenma Air Station.

Unfortunately, the CIA, which used to have a love-hate relationship with the U.S. military, is now on the opposite side.

The CIA happily used the Okinawan guerrillas to boost its performance, artificially creating an opposing island regime in East Asia, but didn't provide the US military with a single piece of intelligence, leaving the US military blind.

Trump on the other side

His expression was serious, while Li Xinghe spoke off the cuff:

"General, I understand your feelings. But I must remind you that because the two aircraft carriers of the Seventh Fleet and the amphibious assault ships of the Third Expeditionary Force are all under maintenance, the Navy and the Marine Air Force cannot provide air support. At the same time, theoretically there are only a few guerrilla groups on the entire island of Okinawa, so we cannot launch a large-scale air attack on residential areas."

Simply put, they still had some self-respect during the election period.

The US military is neither able nor has the capability to carry out extermination bombing.

The general was furious:

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

“We have a potential report here that suggests that the mayor of Ginowan City, where Futenma Air Station is located, who has been supporting your pro-American Okinawa alliance, is suspected of stealing US military intelligence from within and supporting guerrilla operations. You have been parasitized.”

Li Xinghe immediately began compiling the materials.

No reason, no documents, just one sentence.

Then he hung up the phone and congratulated Trump: "Wait for the results."

"You really have intelligence?"

"possible."

Trump had a hard time describing how he felt seeing this kid do things this way.

But he really needs a victory.

Soon, troops from the 25th Division and the 11th Airborne Division stormed the "Anti-Okinawa Independence Support Association" in Ginowan City, where they executed Saki Masumi, their biggest supporter, along with hundreds of pro-American members. They also forged a large number of documents related to the independence army, claiming that they had not fought well enough and had been betrayed by traitors.

This is the oldest tradition of the U.S. military.

If they can't defeat the separatists, can't they at least kill the pro-Americans?

The 11th Airborne Division announced:

"We are certain that we have killed the biggest leader of the independence forces who had infiltrated the government, the mayor of Ginowan City, Saki Masumi. They are not far from their demise."

The White House immediately sent a congratulatory telegram.

Major newspapers joined in praising it:

"This is the first victory for the U.S. military in Okinawa!"

"US forces in Okinawa have killed more than 1,300 insurgents."

"A great victory under President Trump's leadership!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Trump instantly gained the support of the National Rifle Association and a large number of Win-Win-Win Magas. They want victory, so let them win.

Once the election is won, who cares where Okinawa is?

However, this is not without its costs.

When the largest pro-American figure on Okinawa was killed, it meant that the relationship between the island and the US military had completely changed from that of a vassal island to that of a hostile island.

The U.S. military will completely distrust the people of Okinawa.

As the war progressed to this stage, the White House, the Pentagon, and the US-Japan Combined Forces Command were all more eager to achieve further victories in Okinawa. Therefore, they quickly lifted various restrictions on the 3rd Expeditionary Force, the 25th Division, and the 11th Airborne Division.

They designated Okinawa as a war zone, allowing the U.S. military to conduct unprovoked investigations, break down doors, and arrest all Okinawan residents. They also allowed the U.S. military to establish combat zones in Okinawa, expel all residents, and exercise comprehensive military control over the island.

To this end, the U.S. military even provided an internal note to Japan through the U.S.-Japan Combined Command: in order to defeat the Chinese guerrillas, the U.S. military would use aircraft to turn Okinawa into a sea of ​​fire.

Japan has remained silent.

Yoshida Keishi, who was serving as the interim chief of staff, skillfully wrote his resignation letter again.

Shigeru Ishiba had a splitting headache, and Defense Minister Gen Nakatani was terrified.

Everyone knew what was going to happen, but no one could stop it.

For Li Xinghe, this was exactly the situation he wanted. After Zhang Xiaoqian and He Yang reported that they had prepared tunnels and fortified areas, it was time to escalate the fighting on Okinawa. Only the most brutal blood and fire could forge a new nation, one filled with hatred.

All these changes are heading in the direction predicted by the American left:

"Let Okinawa become the next Gaza!"
