Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

The girl who was at the bottom of the class became one of the first students in the newly established No. 1 High School in the Liberated Area.

Zhang Xiaoqian personally supervised his younger sister with a ruler:

"Read books! How can you go into politics if you don't read books? We've already made arrangements for you. As long as your exam scores are barely passing, we'll send you to Nanjing to study. When you come back, you can participate in the election."

While he was disciplining his younger sister, his house was pushed open by a burly, fat man.

He Yang, who participated in the Naha City raid and killed Kenichiro Nagumo, was followed by several other core military members.

He came in, took a sip of water, and said:

"Our boss has taken care of everything for us. There will be a secret channel to provide us with a series of intelligence support. This includes all the US military's contact codes, operation codes, clearance instructions, and even internal personnel arrangements and changes to their work schedules. Their internal communication channels have been cracked and are already under our surveillance. The Alaska Air Force's F-15 and F-22 fighter jets are refueling and replenishing their ammunition. Their combat support squadron is currently en route to Hawaii and is expected to be unable to operate for several days."

来自阿拉斯加州埃尔门多夫空军基地的第19战斗中队、第90战斗中队、第525战斗中队，以及第302中队的一部分，在冲绳可算是炸爽了。他们的F15与F22根本不需要挂在任何副油箱、自卫格斗弹或者其他武备，只要挂满

Just keep bombing densely populated areas with iron bombs.

Schools, hospitals, city halls, and the ruins of Shuri Castle—everywhere bears the marks of bombing.

The thousands of civilian casualties caused by the air force were the bloody retribution for the rapid expansion of the independence army.

Li Xinghe did indeed tell Vance his plan to fabricate a defeat in the Battle of Okinawa, and Vance agreed.

But the Pentagon didn't know.

Therefore, Kadena Air Base, with three and a half fighter squadrons and dozens of F-15C/D and F-22A fighters, became an unsuspecting target for the Ryukyu Independence Army.

This is not the first time the CIA has sold out the U.S. military, and it is hardly the largest such sale.

This may also be a case of the love-hate relationship between the CIA and the U.S. military.

People spread the word and discussed the upcoming day.

"Revenge is a must."

"An eye for an eye."

Zhang Xiaoqian's phone rang once, and the screen lit up:

Operation codename: The Last of Us.

The author says:

Author's note: Thank you all for your support. Here's 4000 words. I've really reached 10,000 words today!

Chapter 619: Red Flag Flies High on the Hill, Storm Approaches Washington (5300 words)

Before the major battle, the independence army would hold serious meetings with the local people to explain their intentions and evacuation plans. Because Okinawa Island has limited living space, an attack on a US military base would mean that almost all the densely populated residential areas nearby would be lost.

However, precisely because of this, the independence army is actually still doing the work of a demolition office. They will deliberately demolish detached Japanese-style houses and give the unfortunate people compensation vouchers for future high-rise apartment buildings, so as to create enough public space on the already small land for them to develop.

At the meeting, the people's biggest concern was naturally what the future held. The war had been going on for three months, and everyone's lives were very difficult.

At this point, the cadres would repeatedly say:

"Our political goal is to achieve freedom and autonomy for Ryukyu, clearly defining Ryukyu as a sub-state autonomous political entity inherited from the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom, with certain affiliations to both China and Japan. While retaining its own sovereignty, it aims to become a peace hub between China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan, and other countries and regions amidst East Asian tensions. Furthermore, it reserves the possibility of further restoring the Ryukyu Kingdom."

It seems as if they don't mention their red background at all.

But it is precisely because of its red background that it talks about freedom, autonomy, and peace.

"What about the county government's subsidies?" Many people are also asking this question.

Japan invests approximately 3500 billion yen annually in aid to Okinawa Prefecture, an amount equivalent to one-tenth of Okinawa's annual GDP.

This method of providing financial compensation to buy back US military bases is a familiar and favored approach used by Japan. Okinawa Prefecture, because the US military occupies the best land, receives annual payments from the Japanese government, which allows it to barely survive. Although the compensation funds are substantial, they are primarily allocated to areas near US military bases and are often divided among government officials, making the movement of these funds a matter of public concern.

The officials' answers were very diplomatic:

"We demand that the Japanese government provide more annual funding as compensation for the years that Okinawa has suffered at the hands of US military bases on behalf of Japan, while also maintaining friendly relations with China, welcoming Chinese tourists to the islands, opening up all support projects to the Chinese government, and supporting the Chinese government in rebuilding large-scale public facilities and commercial buildings on the US military bases."

The Independent Army's response to the question of driving out the US troops and replacing them with Chinese troops was even more ingenious:

"China will not station troops here, but we will open Naha Port as an international neutral free port, allowing ships from China, the United States, Japan and other countries to dock together. Other countries can also enter the port upon application."

US and Japanese ships could already dock at Naha Port at will. The so-called "open free port" is actually just a pretext specifically prepared to welcome Chinese warships. They simply brought in their Type 076 amphibious assault ships, carrying over a thousand marines. Is there really a big difference between that and a garrison? The Japanese can only watch helplessly.

After the meeting, the ordinary citizens, having gained their answers, reluctantly left their homes with their property compensation vouchers and their meager possessions.

Popular support for the Ryukyu Independence Army is rising rapidly. Current polls show that support for Ryukyu independence has reached approximately 30%, while support for it becoming a sub-state political entity has exceeded 55%.

Alongside the political gain of trust, various Chinese software and network services were also integrated into the system.

These large apps already have overseas versions; they can be easily modified and deployed to Okinawa.

Videos of Chinese internet celebrities from various eras, along with the integration of various software and de facto internet connectivity, flooded the phones of the Ryukyuans, bringing them a completely different experience of another world. On the war-isolated island, the 24-hour one-way brainwashing was remarkably effective; trips to Wenzhou and shopping in Hangzhou and Suzhou became frequent topics of discussion among the children.

Faced with the threat of war and the unrestrained killings by the US military, Okinawans who did not support the independence movement, or even sympathize with it, had already moved to Kyushu, Osaka, or Tokyo during the conflict. Those hundreds of thousands of Okinawans who fled will soon experience firsthand what Japanese 'racial discrimination' truly means in Osaka and Tokyo, feeling unlimited exclusion in their lives, studies, and work, becoming 'inferior Chinese' in the eyes of the Japanese.

Finally, they will come back crying and begging, willingly becoming 'inferior Chinese'.

This is self-realization within racial discrimination.

Americans have already done this before: they use predominantly white stereotypes about other people of color as racial characteristics and then impose them on those who are discriminated against. Due to the power of the media, those who are discriminated against are forced to actively adopt these stereotypes to survive in white society, and some even take pride in these stereotypes as racial characteristics. The most typical examples are elements like Black rap, dreadlocks, and gangs.

So, on the night of October 19, the Ryukyu Independence Army began a full mobilization.

Of course, 4600 main force troops could not be divided into three routes, as the opposing force consisted of three American divisions, five times their size.

Zhang Xiaoqian, He Yang, and others squatted on the ground and pointed out the battle route.

Currently, 5 U.S. troops and their families are distributed across three camps: Kadena Air Base in the north, Futenma Air Base in the south, and Courtney Air Base in the east. Kadena is an Air Force and Marine Corps Air Station, Futenma is an Army base, and Courtney is a Marine Corps base.

"The harassment of Kadena Air Base to the north must continue with artillery and rocket artillery; we must absolutely prevent any U.S. military aircraft from taking off from Kadena Air Base."

"The Futenma Air Station on the south side has the most US troops, so we shouldn't focus our offensive efforts there."

"Should we try taking out the Courtney camp on the east side first?"

"Courtney's Third Expeditionary Force has dwindled to only a few thousand men, with a large number of their families stranded here. Occupying this area would severely damage the morale of the American troops..."

The plan was quickly agreed upon.

Suppressing Kadena and Futenma with firepower, they launched their final offensive against Courtney's Marines.

Logically, with such a large and well-equipped force, the US military would have been better able to demoralize and starve the guerrillas by dispersing their forces, building fortifications throughout the island, and conducting a more scattered suppression campaign. Taking down a guerrilla force of a few thousand would have been a piece of cake.

But today's U.S. military is like the Israeli army during the Gaza War.

They preferred to huddle together, moving inefficiently and at a snail's pace, rather than disperse and engage in more proactive individual combat.

After all, the salary was really only two thousand US dollars, which was not enough to support a family.

But the US military is certainly not stupid.

They had long discovered that whenever the guerrillas were about to attack the base, they would mobilize nearby residents to evacuate in advance. Therefore, there were special guards who observed the lights on in the nearby residential areas.

The U.S. military observers on lookout duty immediately noticed that although the lights were still on in the nearby residential area, there was not a single person in sight.

This is suspicious.

They

Contact the camp headquarters via communications:

"Damn it, those island monkeys are attacking us again. All units, be on high alert. We're not going to sleep tonight. Hopefully, we still have some coffee left."

"..."

"Strange? Why hasn't there been a reply?"

Strangely, there was no sound from the walkie-talkie. Not only was there no sound, but the base behind them seemed deathly silent, with no one answering.

An ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

"A storm is coming..."

The weather forecast wasn't good; heavy rain wasn't a good thing for the attacking side.

He Yang and his buddies, along with the South Korean soldiers, lay on the grass in the drizzling rain, where storm clouds kept appearing under the flashes of lightning, gazing at the silent Courtney base in the distance, all feeling uneasy.

Some local Ryukyu soldier was muttering something over there:

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we should not be afraid, but face them bravely!"

"The best way to eliminate fear is to face it!"

"Let's do it!"

What may be commonplace on the Chinese internet is the best cultural awakening agent for the Ryukyuans.

"Let's do it!"

He Yang gritted his teeth and gave a small shout, then got up and led everyone to crawl like spiders across the rain-soaked, muddy grass, raising wire cutters at the barbed wire fence of the Courtney camp.

On the other side, on the Kitadani Hills between Kadena and Futenma, artillery units are secretly assembling.

"Look at our new baby."

The green oilcloth is pulled open; it's a secondhand smuggled general's treasure.

Forty 240mm rocket launchers from the Taedonggang, sold to North Korea at a low price, became disposable, low-cost consumables after North Korea equipped itself with Type 09 300mm rocket launchers. Li Xinghe gave North Korean dollars and his generals more smuggled goods, including smuggled Russian oil, in exchange for these cheap 60km range fire suppression weapons.

In addition, there were over a hundred classic, inexpensive, sturdy, and durable Soviet-made 152mm howitzers.

The South Korean soldiers' expressions were quite complex.

Here they witnessed one of the most 'integrative' forces in East Asia.

The Chinese-made drones, vehicles, and various heavy machinery support forces, the North Korean-made guns, rocket launchers, and howitzers, the South Korean-made shells, along with South Koreans, Chinese, Okinawans, and even overseas Japanese and pro-unification Taiwanese, truly achieved a fusion of elements.

After checking his phone and receiving the signal that He Yang had launched an assault on Courtney Camp, Zhang Xiaoqian issued the signal for all artillery to fire.

"Fire!"

In the darkness, the piercing roar of the Taedonggang rocket launchers tore through the sky, like a meteor shower falling on the runways and hangars of Kadena and Futenma air bases, as well as the barracks at Camp Courtney. The island's extremely small size provided short-range artillery with the perfect firing range.

The island was in a state of panic.

The American soldiers, exhausted and hungry, were bombarded by artillery fire without any warning.

"Mayday! Mayday! We are under heavy artillery fire and drone attack! Where are the anti-aircraft missile teams? Where are the anti-aircraft artillery pieces?"

The pilots' desperate screams jolted the ground crew awake from their drunken stupor, only to watch helplessly as the intense barrage of fire exploded before their eyes like falling stars. F-15C/D, F-22A, C-17, C-2—aircraft on the airfield were destroyed one by one in the intense fire, hangars were blown through, and ground maintenance personnel could no longer spare any effort to protect the aircraft; they could only flee in panic.

"Help! Help!"

However, on the other side of the wire, there is only silence.

Whether it was radio or satellite communication, signal towers or submarine cables, all distress signals sent from Kadena, Futenma, and Courtney bases disappeared without a trace.

As for Futenma Air Base, it naturally has no anti-aircraft artillery or anti-aircraft missile units; the only thing they have is their skull.

This is an old base that has enjoyed decades of peace. At least half of the officers stationed here are just young men with connections, there to leisurely gain experience. They have mistresses outside and hardly ever live on the base. These military bases, surrounded only by the simplest barbed wire, are no match for the truly determined Independent Army.

If you can't break through a concrete bunker, can't you at least cut through barbed wire?

They have been completely betrayed and ruthlessly stabbed in the back by Vance and the CIA.

Trump's Secretary of Defense, Pete Hagerseth, as the top political officer in the U.S. military, shamelessly betrayed his professional ethics as Secretary of Defense by supplying Vance with all the data he needed and cutting off all access to it, treating the U.S. military on Okinawa like a discarded tissue.

"roar!"

Camp Courtney was in chaos amidst the artillery fire; soldiers hurriedly turned over, but couldn't even find their underwear.

Lightning flashed across the sky like a streak of light, allowing the soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the watchtower at the US military base to see a red flag fluttering in the street amidst the storm.

Immediately afterwards, red flags appeared in the nearby streets.

As if by magic, rain-soaked streets and muddy green lawns suddenly produced groups of Independent Army guerrillas who crawled out of the mud and sprouted from the grass, and then they charged toward the Courtney camp.

Lightning struck again, and it seemed as if they were converging into a red ocean.

An overwhelming force was tilting towards him.

"Help!"

The lookout shouted in vain over the radio.

Kadena, Futenma, and Courtney are like three isolated islands in a downpour.

The lights flickered, lightning flashed intermittently, and the sea surged as if to devour everything on earth.

……

Throughout mid-October, after Trump stopped causing trouble, the United States suddenly felt an unprecedented peace.
