Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

The reorganized foreign affairs department has been primarily preoccupied with internal power struggles among its various departments. After finishing these struggles in recent months, it suddenly discovered that the US embassy had been burned down by mobs, and the US has yet to issue a condemnation, only sending personnel to repair and rebuild it.

They didn't know Li Xinghe was a CIA agent, and most of them didn't even know he had previously worked for the Ministry of Public Security. They simply wanted to send someone to infiltrate the embassy's reconstruction company and steal the internal architectural blueprints. Ideally, they wanted to infiltrate a CIA branch that was supposedly undergoing restructuring.

The reason it's only said is, of course, because a CIA employee betrayed his country and defected to the Japanese, just like those Russian spies before him. After all, nobody would be happy working in a distant foreign land, earning meager wages while risking their lives for money.

Higashikawa Yukami was puzzled; the Foreign Affairs Division's infiltration probably began after Li Xinghe left.

why?

She couldn't help but ask:

Why infiltrate at this time?

"They said that as long as Li Xinghe isn't in the office, Higashikawa Yukami is a woman having a mental breakdown, and Ryuzaki Hibari has no opinions of his own, so they're not a threat..."

This answer immediately enraged the unlucky Yukimi-chan, who hadn't eaten meat for a month and was furious.

Enraged, Higashikawa Yukami pulled out his pistol and fired, killing the man instantly.

"You idiot! You're really underestimating me!"

Although Hibari Ryuzaki is indeed quite indecisive, don't look down on Yukami-chan, who's mentally unstable.

The body fell down; it was dead.

Jill only summoned Chris:

"Take the body out and dispose of it."

Upon learning the situation, Ayman could only smile and grit his teeth as he commented:

"As expected, the Foreign Affairs Division of the Japanese Ministry of Public Security wanted to infiltrate our ranks, but unfortunately, they didn't know that our family structure is far more tightly knit than they imagined."

The family consists of only one man, forming a more tightly knit family structure than a fraternity, binding everyone together so that no one can break away.

This model is much more robust than a simple fraternity.

This is exactly the same organizational structure as Li Xinghe and New World Research Institute.

Or rather, the organizations around Li Xinghe all operate in this manner, ensuring that no one betrays the other through a close relationship that goes beyond that of ordinary family. Core secrets are known only to insiders, while non-core secrets remain outside the circle, ready to be abandoned and abandoned at any time.

"What do we do now?"

"We should reverse our infiltration!"

As the group discussed the matter, Higashikawa Yukami gritted her teeth and decided to personally take charge of the counterattack.

Does the Ministry of Public Security's Foreign Affairs Division want to infiltrate the CIA?

Unfortunately, the CIA's East Asia division is indeed undergoing restructuring, and its first objective is to target Japanese intelligence agencies.

This is a case of a father beating his son.

……

On the other side, in Osaka Prefecture.

Nobuyuki Baba, who is currently on probation, received 5000 million yen in angel investment from his angel investor.

Funds were opened in Hong Kong, and some CIA managers who had been withdrawing from Okinawa seamlessly joined Li Xinghe's side, then manipulated the extreme shift in public opinion in Osaka Prefecture behind the scenes.

Li Xinghe's behind-the-scenes instructions to them were:

"Bring down the anti-American prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba."

Although Shigeru Ishiba appears subservient to the United States, his nativist tendencies are clearly stronger. Even the American media knows that Ishiba's version of an Asian security organization aims to maintain a balance in East Asia, elevate China, and protect himself.

He appears docile, but in reality, he is rebellious.

Therefore, it was reasonable and in line with the interests of the new Vance administration to remove him from office and replace him with a Japanese version of Yoon Seok-yeol who was extremely pro-American.

Since Vanskaka wants to collect a 2 trillion yen 'democracy defense tax' from democratic countries around the world, Shigeru Ishiba certainly won't contribute much of that amount, so let's find another source.

In Osaka Prefecture, the mental decline of the extreme citizens of Osaka is clearly visible.

Tired, really tired.

After working together with the despicable Osaka Restoration Party for over a decade, all we've gotten is a mess.

The Osaka Expo was the worst ever, with only half of the 1400 million tickets sold or given away, and fewer than 1000 million tourists visiting Osaka. The financial gambling island project also faced widespread opposition from citizens and ultimately failed.

The Japan Restoration Party, which claims to love Osaka, has managed to make Osaka increasingly worse, eventually reverting to traditional practices and making money by developing slums and selling real estate to Chinese buyers. Its governing ability is even worse than when the Liberal Democratic Party was in power.

Nobuyuki Baba is a politician with a flexible stance.

He was a veteran, and coincidentally, this year saw the old leaders of the Restoration Party step down, with Yoshimura Hirofumi taking over.

After seizing control of the Reform Society, the struggle between the old and new factions of politicians became extremely fierce.

So Nobuyuki Baba gathered his old friends together and launched his own version of the 'New Restoration Party'.

With a steady stream of funding from the CIA, Nobuyuki Baba easily gained the support of most members of the Restoration Party.

So in early December, Nobuyuki Baba held a rally in downtown Osaka:

"People in Osaka can't survive here!"

“We should thoroughly reflect on the foolish populist practices of the old Restoration Party. Our goal cannot be mindless anti-China and pro-American; we should find our own interests in Osaka.”

"So many of our children are going hungry. Osaka Prefecture has the highest poverty rate in Japan, and the highest number of starving children in Japan. Must this continue?"

The Osaka residents below looked dejected.

Due to the economic recession, Osaka Prefecture, despite being the most economically developed region in the Kansai region, is also the area most severely affected by urban subsidence, with the number of impoverished urban families and hungry children several times higher than the national average. This urban subsidence problem, common in the United States, has bred a large number of extremists in Osaka Prefecture.

Therefore, Nobuyuki Baba suddenly knelt down in front of voters on his campaign vehicle, using this dramatic gesture to express his firm stance on changing his position:

"China has cheap rice, 100 yen per kilogram. Japanese rice is currently 800 yen per kilogram. If we can buy rice from China, children who are starving can have enough to eat and go to school. We must face up to the legitimacy of the East Asia Free Trade Area plan. If we have to sacrifice ordinary people in order to be pro-American, can such a national strategy still be considered a good policy?"

"Having gone through so much, including being arrested and imprisoned, I have seen my mistakes, and I am willing to admit to the voters the failures of the old Restoration Party. But I also assure you that the new Restoration Party will fully adopt a people-oriented approach; we will only implement policies that are good for the people and good for Osaka. Please vote for us!"

This shocking shift left many far-right, impoverished Osaka residents bewildered.

However, those who had made prior arrangements took the lead in praising Nobuyuki Baba and used the example of rice prices to shut up the other Osaka residents.

Nobuyuki Baba immediately announced:

"The New Reform Party has been established! We declare our separation from the old Reform Society. Our goal is the East Asian trade zone, and we put the well-being of the people first!"

In short:

"We Osaka people still want to do business with China!"

Of course, there were opponents at the scene.

Yoshimura Hirofumi, the new leader of the Osaka Restoration Party, was extremely dissatisfied with the defection of Baba Nobuyuki and others. He rushed to the scene and angrily denounced them:

"Oh, are you guys going to defect to the Communists?"

Nobuyuki Baba and his supporters launched a stunning counterattack:

"We won't side with the Communists, but we want independence! Osaka Prefecture, as a national autonomous region, has sacrificed too much to cooperate with the country's pro-American strategy. Now we've had enough. We want our own regional diplomatic strategy and regional security goals. We want to do business with China, and we want to import affordable Chinese agricultural products duty-free so our hungry children can have enough to eat. The people of Osaka have been disgusted by the people of Tokyo for long enough. If Osaka Prefecture continues to rot like this, we will no longer be Japanese!"

"Let the hungry children have enough to eat!"

"Yes, if the price is that the poor people of Osaka have to go hungry, then we won't be Japanese anymore!"

CIA agents are on the front lines, steering extreme populism towards hatred of the Japanese government. The situation is already shifting towards a script reminiscent of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine.

The author says:

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. Here's 4600 words. I'll be writing the short story for May this afternoon; I won't be able to finish it by noon.

Chapter 640: The Orange Revolution in Preparation, May's Court Breaks Down in Fury (4200 words)

On the streets of Osaka Prefecture, supporters of the Restoration Party and the New Restoration Party split apart in confusion.

One group of people has become so disillusioned with the status quo that they have reversed their stance, no longer talking about being 'anti-China and pro-American,' but instead yearning for a normal life with trade exchanges with China. At the very least, they hope rice prices won't be so high.

Another faction also supported Yoshimura Hirofumi, a staunch supporter of the old Restoration Party.

They pushed and shoved each other, punching and kicking each other in a busy area of ​​Osaka Prefecture.

Bankrupt workers accuse the other side:

"So these are shop owners and middlemen who make money off Chinese people. No wonder they kneel before them. We poor workers look down on you!"

The food stall owners and travel agencies that rely on tourism for their livelihood, who were accused of wrongdoing, responded with a lot of grievances:

"What nonsense are you talking about! Wasn't it the Tokyo gentry who bankrupted your factory? We earn money from Chinese tourists to support you, and you're not even grateful?"

In any case, they each have their own reasons.

The populist far-right mindset cannot comprehend options other than 'yes' and 'no'.

They are either pro-American or anti-American; there is no exchange that involves careful consideration of national interests. They uniformly regard anyone who does this as a 'traitor'.

Even ordinary residents of Osaka can't stand these crazy, poor old bastards, let alone the bastards themselves.

So after they started fighting, the entire Restoration Party had to accept the reality of political division. Yoshimura Hirofumi represented the group that remained in Osaka Prefecture, while Baba Nobuyuki's new approach gained the approval of the grassroots organizations of the All Japan Restoration Party.

After a bloody battle, Osaka Prefecture was split in two.

"The New Restoration Party is established! Our first goal is to take over Osaka Prefecture!"

Nobuyuki Baba announced his decision at the press conference with blood on his forehead.

In Japan, parliamentary elections are held in single-member constituencies, and elected local members can switch parties at any time. This results in a rather pronounced split within Japanese political parties. Apart from the long-established Liberal Democratic Party and the Japanese Communist Party, almost all opposition parties are products of repeated mergers and splits; for example, the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Japan Restoration Party have both split multiple times.

The New Reform Party raised its own banner:

"Oppose agricultural cooperatives, oppose the Japanese government, oppose monopolies and monopolies, and advocate for free trade!"

"I support visa-free travel for all Chinese citizens and promote tourism as a key industry."

The entire party shares a single theme: promoting trade and tourism between Osaka and China, guided by realism. This resonates with the desires of Osaka citizens.

A large group of city councilors switched sides and sided with Nobuyuki Baba.

In the blink of an eye, the largest political party in Osaka Prefecture changed hands. According to the theoretical operating rules of local government in Japan, the city council could now veto any decisions made by Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura, creating a power struggle between the prefecture and the legislature.

In order to suppress the rebellion of the Japan Restoration Party, Yoshimura Hirofumi announced the dissolution of the Osaka Prefectural City Council and called for a new election.

Osaka Prefecture had to start a new election.

Nobuyuki Baba has just put forward his idea and has both money and power, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the time.

While he was searching for votes everywhere, the CIA had already given him pointers:

"So many Chinese have settled in Osaka Prefecture; they are all our votes."

Left with no other option, Nobuyuki Baba went to the Osaka Chinese Business Association. After some negotiation and maneuvering, he managed to secure over 100,000 votes for himself, giving him a significant advantage in the local elections. This influx of Chinese votes quickly reversed the tide of the election, turning Osaka Prefecture into a sea of ​​red.

The Japanese suddenly realized, "Oh, what's going on? The votes of Chinese people in Japan can now determine the election in the second largest city?"

The Japanese government and media panicked.

Nobuyuki Baba really knows how to make outrageous statements. After being arrested, he actually went to China to seek refuge, and now his campaign motive is still about prices. He's really rubbing salt in the wound.

Who exactly is supporting him behind the scenes?

Regardless, Nobuyuki Baba did become another Japanese politician who took the "pro-East Asia route," leading the Restoration Party on a journey of unifying the East Asian right wing.

Nobuyuki Baba's only doubt was whether he could succeed.

He already knew that the Americans were standing behind him, and the other side was undoubtedly the Republican Party, which was dissatisfied with Shigeru Ishiba and angry about Japan's stance.

He specifically gave Li

Xinghe sent an email:

"Although we have enough people, I'm afraid the vote counting committee won't accept our victory."

Not long after, Nobuyuki Baba learned of the American's answer:

"What we want is for the Japanese government to cheat, so that you can't succeed. That way, you can mobilize the voters, legitimately occupy Osaka Prefecture, and establish the Osaka People's Government. Don't worry, we can hold back all the suppressive forces that Japan can quickly mobilize. You can cause as much trouble as you want in Osaka Prefecture."

It turns out that the Americans had no good intentions from the beginning and deliberately created an incident to attack the government.

But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere, going down a path that seemed destined for darkness.

……

Tokyo.

While Osaka residents were engaged in passionate boxing matches on the streets, Tokyo gentlemen, like Li Xinghe, were indulging in debauchery and 'unity activities'.
