Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Li Xinghe was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, in Tokyo, where green spaces are scarce, the Imperial Palace is the greenest and most lush place, making it the most convenient position for soldiers to hide and launch counterattacks with anti-aircraft missiles.

The subordinate asked:

"A counterattack?"

"Stop worrying about that damn Imperial Palace! Where are the S-class anti-aircraft vehicles? Bring out all the anti-aircraft missiles from the Jet Horse infantry fighting vehicles, and our attack helicopters too! Go up and counterattack!"

Li Xinghe immediately ordered everyone to get to work.

One advantage of the Coastal Combat Brigade is that the Jeep infantry fighting vehicles, being products of North Korea, are equipped with anti-aircraft missiles. Furthermore, the brigade has a large number of portable anti-aircraft missiles in its warehouses. As a result, a variety of anti-aircraft weapons soared into the sky, causing the Self-Defense Forces' aircraft to flee in panic.

An F2A multi-role fighter jet simply couldn't withstand such a complex combat environment. A pilot over 40 years old, in a moment of high-difficulty maneuver, lost consciousness due to a rush of adrenaline, and both he and the aircraft crashed. Subsequently, a small flying drone collided with the engine, causing it to explode!

boom!

The F2A fighter jet, trailing thick black smoke, swooped down towards Chuo Ward, Tokyo's wealthiest district, causing screams of terror among residents. Fortunately, it landed right near Tsukiji Market, Tokyo's former largest fish market, now demolished and vacant for new construction.

roar!

The plane was burning with huge plumes of smoke, terrifying the wealthy middle-class residents of Minato and Chuo wards in Tokyo.

Meanwhile, the coup officers turned their command toward their greatest enemy.

That was the Aoyama Command, which had been monitoring the Self-Defense Forces' movements, eavesdropping on their signals, and interfering with their command. This godforsaken place had been eavesdropping on them from the very beginning.

Therefore, the air formations flying over the Imperial Palace took the opportunity to bomb the Qingshan Command Headquarters.

General Jacqueline, who was squatting in the headquarters, was shocked and hurriedly ordered a counterattack:

"To dare to attack the US-Japan Combined Forces Command building is no ordinary conflict! Attacking US territory is considered an attack on the US! Counterattack!"

As a military base building capable of withstanding nuclear bombs, its air defense facilities are quite good, and there is even an anti-aircraft machine gun squadron that sweeps the sky in all directions.

Most of the bombs falling from the sky veered off course and landed in the Qingshan Cemetery.

The relentless artillery fire and bombing raids raged through the Aoyama Cemetery, a graveyard filled with the remains of many prominent Japanese figures. Countless ancestors of the Japanese are buried here, but probably no one could have predicted that 80 years after the Tokyo air raids, the place would be so devastated.

Another T4 trainer jet was hit by a portable surface-to-air missile. Smoking, the plane crashed into a residential area. To avoid hitting residents of the nearby Nishi-Azabu town, the pilot chose to ram the plane into the Aoyama Cemetery and ejected. As he took off, he inadvertently discovered that the crashed trainer had landed in the cemetery on Nishi-17-dori Street, sweeping through the area and even leveling Akiyama Yoshifuru's grave!

Yoshifuru Akiyama, hailed as the father of the Japanese cavalry, could hardly have imagined that 98 years after his death, a Japanese Air Force plane crash would revive him from the ground.

The 3rd Air Force was grounded after two bombing runs.

At this moment, Li Xinghe immediately mobilized the tank battalion to counterattack:

"Alright, their crappy planes don't dare approach Tokyo anymore, and they're probably out of bombs. Let's charge straight in! Storm the Ministry of Defense!"

"Charge into the Ministry of Defense and kill them all!"

In fact, the headquarters of the Ichigaya Self-Defense Force in Shinjuku, under the Ministry of Defense, is only a few kilometers away from Li Xinghe. Heading northwest from the Imperial Palace, you'll reach the Ichigaya base after walking just two roads.

The vanguard's subordinates replied:

"They've blocked Ichigaya Bridge! I reckon the Shinmi-tsuke Bridge above it is blocked too."

"Then let's go down from here."

Fortunately, Ichigaya is not a river, but rather the outer moat that once protected Edo. Therefore, Li Xinghe's troops turned southwest for a few kilometers, bypassed the bridge, and arrived at the main gate of the Ministry of Defense.

"fire

! ”

The front-mounted tanks fired indiscriminately at the Self-Defense Forces headquarters, the memorial to the fallen soldiers, and the flagpole, killing anyone they saw, leaving rivers of blood.

The troops stationed here had already been defeated by Li Xinghe, so the coup officers could only flee in panic, heading northwest.

Not everyone had time to escape.

For example, Naito Genichi, who harshly criticized Li Xinghe, fell behind because his car was destroyed by a drone.

"Gotcha! Naito Genichi! This old man was the one talking badly about you..."

The crowd shouted and dragged the man in front of Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe glanced at him, a fierce aura rising within him:

"They knocked out all 10 of his teeth and ripped his pants."

"what?"

Although the order was bizarre, the brutal Ukrainian soldiers did not object; they actually knocked out all of Naito Ichiichi's teeth and then ripped off his clothes.

Li Xinghe found some extra-long steel bars in the bombed-out building and had them put inside.

"What are you trying to do? How could you... how could you..."

Naito Genichi probably never imagined he would die like this, pierced through the buttocks by a steel bar, which then went straight up through his chest, punctured his airway, and came out of his mouth, corresponding exactly to the location of his broken teeth.

Li Xinghe, who had been bombed for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Damn, that felt so good."

The fierce battle continued into the night as the sun set on the 24th, but it did not cease.

Li Xinghe, who hadn't slept for a day and two nights, was still leading his troops in a frenzied pursuit of any right-wing officer who dared to challenge them in Tokyo, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Tokyo residents remarked on the crazy day.

"My God... is this still Tokyo...?"

For Tokyo residents, this day was absolutely insane.

The Imperial Palace was bombed beyond recognition by the 3rd Air Force. Cultural relics that had survived the Great Tokyo Air Raid were reduced to ashes by American bombs during the fierce battle between Li Xinghe and the Self-Defense Forces. The fallen trees, the damaged and destroyed halls, and the billowing black smoke were clearly visible even at night.

The largest cemetery in the city, Aoyama Cemetery, has been turned into a morgue for various fighter jets. The planes crashing from the sky have swept away the ancestral graves of countless people. The graves of historical figures such as Yoshifuru Akiyama and Takeo Hirose have been completely wiped out, with billowing smoke, as if the ashes of Tokyo's ancestors were being burned.

Aside from key urban locations like the Imperial Palace and Aoyama Cemetery, the streets of Omiya City, the central station in Shinagawa Ward, and the gunfire during the pursuit of Self-Defense Force officers at Haneda Airport—all these places in Tokyo reek of death, burning, and gunpowder.

Li Xinghe did indeed fulfill his promise, setting Tokyo ablaze.

However, Li Xinghe was furious at such accusations and responded with righteous indignation:

"This was mainly caused by bombs dropped by the Self-Defense Forces. I, the kind, benevolent, and lovely Li Xinghe, was actually busy putting out fires! How can you slander my innocence out of thin air!"

"Our unit suffered heavy losses!"

After two failed attempts to bomb the Imperial Palace, the hastily launched 3rd Squadron had no choice but to leave.

Subsequently, the 6th Air Wing, with its 303rd and 306th Squadrons flying F-15Js, took off from Komatsu Air Base in Ishikawa Prefecture. As they flew through the mountains and dived towards Tokyo Bay, they were met with intense anti-aircraft fire and had to flee before even entering Tokyo.

This was not because Li Xinghe had superpowers, but because the captured Japanese 12th Brigade had a downsized anti-aircraft battalion called the 12th High Special Forces, which was equipped with vehicle-mounted Type 93 and Type 81 anti-aircraft missiles modified from Sam.

Li Xinghe positioned their launchers in the northwest of Tokyo, setting up an air defense network at several intersections, and finally managed to drive away the Self-Defense Forces' aircraft.

After driving away Hiroaki Uchikura and the others, the setting sun cast its last rays, and the Self-Defense Forces headquarters was in chaos.

Naito Iwao, a deputy chief of staff whose body was pierced by steel bars, was still leaning against the Japanese flag stand. Ukrainian soldiers were responsible for shooting at officers whose identities could not be identified. Li Xinghe and several others were searching for Self-Defense Force generals with whom he had a decent relationship, such as Yoshida Keishu, Saito Satoshi, and Yagi Koji.

Fortunately, the coup officers were inexperienced and unaware that such people should be executed immediately, so Yoshida Keishu and others were rescued by Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe asked his subordinates:

How many people died?

After summarizing, the subordinate said:

"About a few dozen people died, mostly from Ukraine, so it's not a big deal."

To put it simply, the lives of Ukrainian soldiers were probably the cheapest, most worthless form of currency on the ground. Even their battalion commanders didn't seem to care much about casualties, since there were plenty of refugees who couldn't get in hoping to fill the gaps.

The more people die, the more people rise to power.

Despite this, Yoshida Keishu said he couldn't help with what happened next.

After all, the fighting was so fierce that it left the Imperial Palace complex, which had only been restored a few decades ago, covered in dust and debris, and even destroyed century-old trees.

On a smaller scale, this is a power struggle between Li Xinghe and the Self-Defense Forces. Li Xinghe, backed by the United States, steals money and ships from the Self-Defense Forces, poisons their annual funding, and even steals their toilet paper!

Therefore, there is an irreversible and enormous contradiction between the two sides.

But on a larger scale, this was a fierce clash between Japanese domestic forces and American colonial power.

This is the culmination of long-standing discontent among left-wing and right-wing groups in Japan with the United States' repeated interference in Japanese politics.

As an American agent, Li Xinghe was far too conspicuous; he was practically the son of the storm.

Wherever he went, people died.

Wherever he goes, chaos ensues.

The noisy Ichigaya base, with occasional gunshots, gradually quieted down. Meanwhile, the intelligence department of the Aoyama Command provided the latest coordinates of Nobuyuki Baba and Hisahito. They had fled northwest to Gunma Prefecture and were attempting to smuggle themselves back to Osaka.

Meanwhile, the coup officers who fought and retreated were located in their hiding places.

"Found it! It's at Deng Xiaoping's military camp!"

Li Xinghe pouted:

"The JASDF is actually cooperating with the Ground Intelligence Division. They're shameless."

In Kodaira Garrison, Kodaira City, Tokyo, there is a Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) intelligence school. Like the biological and chemical warfare schools in the Kanto region, it uses the guise of counter-biological and counter-intelligence operations to actually conduct intelligence infiltration. The rumored GSDF intelligence unit's special training class is said to have been trained and recruited at this school.

Throughout the years of revelations, Japanese prime ministers have consistently maintained that they knew nothing about the matter. In reality, they likely truly didn't know, since the Self-Defense Forces never reported it to them.

Li Xinghe instructed:

"We won't go; we'll just launch missiles there."

Thanks to the Self-Defense Forces' resupply after the defeat, Li Xinghe had quite a few extra missiles. He threw several at once, wiping out the entire intelligence school of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force.

Those spies who were diligently practicing their Chinese and were about to be deployed to China were naturally still worrying about the country and its people in their dormitories when they were suddenly sent to heaven.

But whether it was bad luck or not, when the intelligence school was bombed, several officers dressed in civilian clothes crawled out of a Chinese restaurant not far away. They were Hiroaki Uchikura and his men. They panicked and got into a car, then fled west.

Li Xinghe pondered:

"Judging from the looks of it, it should be the Komaki base in the Nobi Plain. It's one of the few JASDF bases, and it also has training aircraft crews and transport flight formations."

However, he doesn't plan to pursue them for now, as he will be very weak after leaving Tokyo.

Therefore he gave the order:

"Stop arguing with a few specific individuals. The most important thing is to get things settled with the Japanese central government before Christmas."

……

Tokyo Bay, Ryujo.

boom!

The conference room door was

He kicked the door open, and Li Xinghe walked in with a group of soldiers.

When Li Xinghe, covered in blood, led the various battalion commanders with ferocious expressions into the Ryujo, although they had already prepared a thousand insults for him in their minds, wishing they could criticize his nature as an 'orphan,' 'imprisoned,' 'promiscuous,' and 'American lackey' a thousand times over, the Japanese political leaders still flexibly changed their political policies after actually meeting his fierce and bloodthirsty eyes.

Many people may only have a fresh impression of him at this moment.

The once carefree and playboyish young master of Tokyo, who used to be all smiles, chasing girls, buying cars, and roaming around with police officers, has now completely shattered his persona.

You are not as incompetent and awful as you appear!

You're faking it!

You've been fooling us so hard!

The parliamentary leaders were full of complaints: "We've been cheated, cheated terribly!"

But they could only curse in their hearts; they still had to diligently stand up, bow, and express their gratitude.

"You've worked hard."

Li Xinghe waved his hand, indicating that he understood and that he should rise.

He should thank us.

"I am now reporting to Parliament..."
