Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Taking advantage of the fact that the people in front of him weren't paying attention, Li Xinghe flicked the hood over the boy's head and secretly kicked the idiot Yujin off the ship. Then he signaled to several CIA subordinates nearby to drag Yujin away from the port in one go and send him to Baba Nobuyuki to torment him slowly.

As the only male heir of the next generation in the Japanese Imperial Family, although he is borderline intellectually disabled, he still possesses a strong sense of legitimacy.

Let's just leave him to Nobuyuki Baba to play with.

Yoshiko was a little nervous:

"he……"

Li Xinghe said:

"If he doesn't go down, how can he help you up?"

"It's okay, we're not familiar with each other."

Princess Jiazi, or Shang Qiujia, is in a very stable emotional state.

It wasn't an act; she genuinely wasn't familiar with the pampered Yuhito. In the Akishino family, she, as the second daughter, was the most unfortunate and least favored. If it weren't for her eldest daughter running off with someone for love, she wouldn't even have had the chance to stand in front of the media.

Thus, the Tokyo Bay mini-government was established.

……

In Nagata-cho, Nobuyuki Baba held a press conference.

He told the numerous reporters:

"Our purpose in entering Tokyo is to change all this decay."

When asked about his governing principles, Nobuyuki Baba said:

"We will improve relations with the United States... I mean, China and the United States. We will consider transferring some of the US military bases in Japan to Chinese peacekeeping forces, unless the United States abandons its $1000 billion extortion demand."

This statement shocked Japanese citizens who were watching the news.

What level do you, Nobuyuki Baba, have? You're a cult leader with unclear ties to the Unification Church, and you actually say you want to hand over the US military bases in Japan to China?

Are you perhaps a Chinese spy?

Opposition from the public and journalists surged like a tidal wave, and Nobuyuki Baba hastily retreated again:

"Um...we'll talk about that later. In any case, we didn't want to see the Ishiba government agree to the $1000 billion extortion, which is why we had no choice but to launch a surprise attack on Kyoto...everyone, please stop arguing and let's talk about the second issue."

He mentioned the official goals of the Reform Movement:

"We want to relocate the national capital to Kyoto/Osaka, and achieve the integration of Osaka and Kyoto..."

The second policy offended the residents of Kanto.

Although Japanese law does not designate a capital city, Tokyo is in fact the capital. The lives and economies of the 3700 million residents of the Tokyo metropolitan area, including those of Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa prefectures, depend entirely on the economic operation of the capital.

What will we do if you move the capital?

Opposition from the public and journalists surged again, and Nobuyuki Baba hastily changed his tune:

"Sorry, I forgot. Japan has never had a legal capital; it has only been customary to designate Tokyo as the capital. But in any case, moving the capital back is necessary because the Kanto economy is already doing well, and we also need to revitalize the Kansai economy."

In just a few words, Nobuyuki Baba's statements kept reversing and contradicting himself, leaving the public feeling bewildered. Could such a new group govern Japan well?

Perhaps knowing he lacked support, Nobuyuki Baba pulled out the CIA's puppet—a complete idiot—for the cameras.

"Prince Hisahito is on our side!"

Next, Prince Hisahito appeared in a suit, bowed, and then stood there looking bewildered.

Seeing that Hisahito actually had a scene made the public even more uneasy. Does the public opinion on this idiot even need a survey? Doesn't everyone think he's mentally challenged?

This grand spectacle of a monkey wearing a crown seems to have only just begun.

At this point, the citizens of Tokyo were deeply weary of the repeated battles in the Diet, feeling that it would be easier to just leave a dog in the Diet; at least the dog wouldn't argue and fight for power and then go crazy.

Residents were still going to work as usual, trains and subways ran non-stop, and police officers were on duty in the streets with bewildered expressions. The coastal combat brigade, which should have been on the streets during the many political upheavals, was instead stationed at Yokota Base in the northwest corner and Reiwa Artificial Island in the southeast corner.

It seems that nothing has changed, and everything is as usual.

But in a daze, I saw the so-called Restoration Army and the police arguing in the street, a group of poor people from Osaka patrolling near the Diet building with guns, and Nobuyuki Baba pulling Prince Hisahito on TV pretending to have everything under control, as if I were still in a dream.

But people's hearts have changed drastically, and the world has changed drastically.

Author's note: Thank you all for your support. 4000 words. My mom has the day off today, so I'm spending some time with her.

Chapter 650: Rebels Occupy Parliament, Communists Defend the Nation (4600 words)

Tokyo seems to have changed, yet it also seems like nothing has changed.

What does the hasty escape of the parliamentarians and the Emperor's family have to do with the temporary workers earning 22 yen a month and the regular employees earning 30 yen a month? It's nothing more than a political power grab.

Six months ago, Maeda Naoko was driving an armored vehicle and fighting Li Xinghe's coastal combat brigade in a bloody battle on the streets of Tokyo. The charred tanks were billowing black smoke on the main road, but the people of Tokyo were unfazed by the scene (because they were all asleep) and went about their daily lives as usual.

In fact, Nobuyuki Baba's power grab has been seen by some media outlets as a cycle of revenge.

About four months ago, Li Xinghe drove a tank and led special police officers in a fierce battle outside the Tokyo office of the Restoration Society, using methods such as imprisoning people in sewers and excrement flowing everywhere. In the end, they arrested Nobuyuki Baba and others involved in the Unification Church.

Four months later, Nobuyuki Baba led a group of poor and homeless people from Osaka, armed with guns, into Tokyo. Of course, their first goal was to kill Li Xinghe!

Where is Prosecutor Jian now?

"Where's his tank? He's driving a tank around town!"

Tokyo residents rallied for Li Xinghe, hoping he would step forward as a representative of old Tokyo and teach these Osaka residents a lesson.

"Move the capital! Move the capital!"

While the citizens of Osaka in the Kansai region felt that Nobuyuki Baba was perhaps too extreme, they still cheered for him, feeling that after being suppressed for a century, they had finally seen a man who dared to rebel and go to Tokyo to teach the people of Kanto a lesson.

As for the lawmakers who were actually "colored" (i.e., labeled with quotations from Marx, Lenin, and Mao), they are still rushing to the Reiwa artificial island, walking through a red-themed amusement park covered with "quotations from Marx, Lenin, and Mao" and "people's monuments," before running onto the ship.

Looking at the disheveled state of the many councilors who had escaped onto the ship, Li Xinghe smiled and patted the two women in white military uniforms beside him:

"Treat them well."

"Yes!"

The Nagumo sisters truly enjoyed a good show today. First, the well-regarded Emperor Naruhito was dragged onto the ship in a sorry state, and then Prince Akishino...

Fumihito ran wildly onto the ship, followed by many other parliamentarians who fled in panic, completely disgracing the Japanese central government.

It was as if, within a few hours, Asuka Nagumo's carefully constructed image of the Japanese government had shattered completely.

This bunch of guys dares to claim they represent Japan's national dignity?

Especially the scene where Li Xinghe skillfully covered Prince Yuhito's head from behind and then kicked him off the ship was absolutely brilliant.

He didn't treat Hisahito like a human being at all.

After most of the people arrived, Shigeru Ishiba convened a cabinet meeting, urgently discussing countermeasures with a group of people, including Lee Seong-ha.

"Let's have a military meeting first. I understand military affairs, don't try to fool me."

He first inquired about the two female officials outside:

"Who was that just now...?"

Li Xinghe immediately began issuing official titles:

"That is Asuka Nagumo, the acting captain of the Ryujo. She's filling in temporarily because I don't have anyone else. Next is Misaki Nagumo, a graduate of the Air Self-Defense Force, who is temporarily serving as the flight squadron commander of the Ryujo. They are the granddaughters of Chief of Staff Kenichiro Nagumo and the daughters of Tadatsugu Nagumo."

This was, of course, a temporary assignment, and given the current chaotic situation, they could only use their own people for the time being. Therefore, no one seemed puzzled.

Li Xinghe really doesn't have anyone else, so there's still no consensus on the captains of the neighboring ships, the Kaohsiung and the Xia Yiluo.

When it comes to Nagumo Tadatsugu, Shigeru Ishiba's deepest regret lies in the fact that the formation of the Tokyo Garrison Regiment was too slow.

The slow pace wasn't Li Xinghe's fault; it was because the entire Self-Defense Forces and the cabinet simply didn't take it seriously. Everyone thought that once Japan's various war zones were divided, catching minor traitors would be incredibly easy. If something happened in Tokyo, the US military could handle it.

But now, the US military is holding back, and Vance has betrayed Japan, forcing his cabinet to flee to a ship.

At this time, it is of course necessary to urgently promote people you can trust. Nagumo Tadatsugu is so loyal that his daughter rushed to the ship at the first moment, and his father died in Naha City. He can be said to be a 'loyal and virtuous man' for three generations.

"Nagumo Tadatsugu is urgently appointed to serve as the commander of the Tokyo Garrison during the mourning period, and is granted the rank of Army General (or equivalent) as is customary."

Shigeru Ishiba first finalized the position of Tadatsugu Nagumo, and then consulted Gen Nakatani and Keihide Yoshida, who naturally agreed.

Shigeru Ishiba then inquired about the suppression of the rebellion:

"Are there any troops that can be mobilized?"

"The 12th Brigade?" Yoshida Keishi replied.

Due to the different division of war zones, the Self-Defense Forces in other areas will only continue to talk to the Chief of Staff, so they can only rely on the 1st Division and the 12th Brigade in the Eastern Army.

The 2st Division, which was responsible for the southern Kanto and Tokyo areas, now only had two infantry regiments left, which were purely foot soldiers.

The 12th Brigade, responsible for the northern Kanto and Echigo regions, is slightly different. It's a downsized brigade that claims to be a helicopter combined arms brigade, but its infantry regiments are even smaller, with only about 600 men each. The three infantry regiments combined have less than 2000 combat personnel in the entire brigade. Their proud 12th Helicopter Squadron has a total of 8 UH-60 Black Hawks and 6 CH-47 Chinooks, totaling 14 helicopters. In addition, there is the 12th Anti-Aircraft Special Forces, which has been downsized again and is only equipped with two outdated types of missiles: the Type 83 short-range air defense missile and the Type 93 short-range air defense missile. Yet, they dare to call themselves a combined arms brigade.

"Can we quickly mobilize them to head south?"

Shigeru Ishiba only wanted one absolute answer.

The current commander of the 12th Brigade is Masaki Maejima. His predecessor was Yuichi Sakamoto, who claimed he would teach China a lesson, but ended up in a plane crash near Miyako Island, Okinawa, along with 10 other officers, including the Miyako Garrison Commander, becoming one of the most bizarre and highest-ranking Japanese generals to die in postwar Japan.

It's quite reasonable for the brigade commander of a helicopter combined arms brigade to die in a helicopter.

Li Xinghe thought this wouldn't work and reminded him:

"It's a bit of a joke to expect his 14 old planes, which are not even enough to transport a single company of mobile defense forces, to participate in the war."

Although Yuichi Sakamoto said he would make China look bad and crash his plane, the reason he made such a tough statement was that Japanese politicians had the unrealistic idea of ​​downsizing the 12th Brigade into a mobile support force, which was originally intended to be deployed to Okinawa in case of a 'contingency in the southwest'.

Unfortunately, because the 12th Brigade was part of the Eastern Front, the transfer procedures alone took several months. As a result, this combined helicopter brigade with 14 helicopters was never deployed to the southwest.

Instead of expecting them to be quickly parachuted in, the Prime Minister should consider making peace with the United States.

Indeed, this was the case. After realizing that the Self-Defense Forces were completely unmobilizable, Shigeru Ishiba had no choice but to lower his head and try to contact the United States. However, he had no relevant channels and could only use Li Xinghe's phone to speak in a bureaucratic manner to George Glass, the US ambassador to Japan who was focused on making money and was willing to spend $40 to save face.

His negotiating terms quickly spread.

Hua Yingmei put her arm around Li Xinghe's shoulder and whispered to him:

"Shigeru Ishiba only asked for $300 billion, while hoping to quickly establish an Asian security organization, and it seems there are quite a few additional conditions attached."

"The old man is still too old-fashioned; an old politician can't make quick decisions."

Li Xinghe felt sorry for Shi Po Mao.

He was a powerful critic back then, and even after Abe's death, he was still capable of doing things, but he was somewhat ambitious but lacked the ability. Now, he is completely out of touch with the changing times.

Hua Yingmei pointed to Koizumi Shinjiro in the corner and asked Li Xinghe:

"So, what advice do you plan to give Koizumi?"

Li Xinghe took out a small piece of paper:

"The $50 billion will be paid in four installments, totaling $60 billion with interest. However, the funds will be transferred to the U.S.-Japan Joint Command. The specific use of this money does not need to be disclosed; just mentioning the total amount is sufficient. When the two countries issue a joint statement, they will say that this money will still be used for Japan, indicating that the United States would prefer to see Japan's determination to defend its democratic alliance with the world."

In this way, it was both legal and legitimate to transfer all the Japanese government's money into Li Xinghe's own bank account.

Even so, the Japanese government should thank him, because without Li Xinghe, who knows how much trouble they would have had to cause to get rid of Baba Nobuyuki and the others.

"Little devil."

Hua Yingmei left a lip print on Li Xinghe's face, feeling both helpless and pleased.

The US side will agree; to be precise, Vance will definitely be the first to agree.

To put it bluntly, this money is intended to compensate for the reparations owed to Ryukyu. Previously, it was said the Pentagon would pay, but now the Japanese government is paying, so the US won't be considered defeated. The installment payments are, of course, to keep the Ryukyu local government silent and prevent them from bringing up the past battles with the US military, while also allowing the US to find ways to divide and infiltrate Ryukyu and retaliate.

Just as everyone was chatting, an even more explosive news story broke:

"Something terrible has happened! US fighter jets are bombing Mexico!"

It turns out that Vance discovered how easy it was to control Japan, and thus began special operations against Mexican drug lords and human smugglers, sending border air squadrons to conduct targeted bombing raids on drug lords and human smugglers.

At this time, both the US and Mexican governments remained silent.

However, the media around the world continued to make a fuss.

Should the US-Mexico-Canada War be fought?

……

After taking control of Nagata-cho, Nobuyuki Baba, an old politician, gradually began to understand things.

He realized that the biggest obstacle to ruling Japan was the lack of cooperation from the bureaucracy.
