Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

In an effort to win the battle against the prevailing public opinion, Gao Tiao released a photo of Li Xinghe with Trump and Vance in May, and counterattacked by saying:

"He seems to have a particularly good relationship with both US presidents."

"He held an inspectorate position at the Miri Joint Command."

Following this, May Takajo posted photos of Li Xinghe with the Chinese Ambassador to China, the Japan-China Friendship Association, and other organizations and individuals, praising his ability to flexibly navigate both China and the United States.

Correct.

At this point, the widespread online right wing suddenly wilted.

Because both the newly emerging pro-China right wing and the old-school pro-American right wing have seen their own spiritual monument. Even those local right-wingers, looking at Li Xinghe's identity as a divine son and prosecutor, can't say anything.

This Christmas Day marked the first time that the Japanese people became widely aware of Li Xinghe's existence.

It can be considered a 'birth of a saint' in a certain sense.

On this day, couples had sex in hotels on Christmas Day, netizens who didn't go out with their partners had sex online, and the US-Japan joint forces had sex with the Self-Defense Forces in the streets.

On the Longxiang, a ship in the directly administered area of ​​the harbor, Li Xinghe, who fired cannons every day, was unusually spared from firing.

He lay on the sofa, utterly exhausted, and said:

“I haven’t rested for two days and two nights. Let me sleep for four hours first, and then wake me up when they have a meeting after midnight.”

At this time, Hiroaki Uchikura, Nobuyuki Baba, Hisahito, and others were still on their way to flee west. The council members, who had just learned what had happened, needed some time for internal fermentation and coordination, so they had a rare window of opportunity to wait for the seeds to sprout.

Li Xinghe fought from the 23rd to the 25th. Both he and his soldiers were extremely exhausted, and even medication could not fully restore them, so they could only take turns resting.

As he spoke, Li Xinghe lay down and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

However, Lu Yuchi Huayingmei and Shui Jingtianping continued to engage in political collusion behind the scenes.

Hua Yingmei kept contacting female members of the Women's Power Alliance, while also colluding with forces opposing Shigeru Ishiba. Meanwhile, Mizukage Tenpyo made phone calls to many vice ministers to discuss postwar political matters, which was actually an implication that they should express their support for Li Xinghe's plan.

At that moment, the door opened, and the Kokubun sisters, who had rushed in, breathlessly told everyone:

"Sally Group has organized 2000 ride-hailing vehicles, which can quickly move troops to Nagoya or Osaka at any time."

Taking a ride-hailing service to the battlefield sounds absurd, and it is indeed absurd, but in a primitive battlefield environment like Japan, it seems to be no problem at all.

……

Meanwhile, on the Nagoya Plain, just across the mountain, the group of coup officers who had fled to the Komaki base were plunged into a long period of confusion.

For them, the coup and the arrest of Yoshida Keishu were simply hasty, impulsive acts of madness, without any long-term plan. They were just acting on impulse, unable to tolerate the constant oppression and the seizure of funds and power by the US-Japan Joint Command, and thus made a mistake in a moment of madness.

"It's too late to regret it now. Everything is over."

Uchikura Hiroaki was also confused. For the first half of the month, he and Li Xinghe were drinking and discussing military procurement matters at banquets. In the second half of the month, he and Li Xinghe clashed and fought each other to the death.

It can only be said that although the situation in Japan appears stable, it has actually reached a point where the sealed cabins are filled with oil and gas, and even a tiny spark could blow up the entire Taiho aircraft carrier.

Not far from the Xiaomu base, panicked guards stopped a group of people who were fleeing in even greater panic.

"Who?"

"I am Nobuyuki Baba... This is Emperor Hisahito..."

Nobuyuki Baba, carrying Hisahito, shakily climbed out of the car. He really hadn't expected that the Americans behind him would ask him to hand over his men to Hiroaki Uchikura.

This handover meant the end of his political life.

But he would rather end his political life than lose his biological life.

"Hisuhito...Emperor?"

The guards couldn't understand, but since they were from the Imperial Family, they took Hisahito back to the military base. Meanwhile, Nobuyuki Baba took the opportunity to escape, running along the path at a speed comparable to Usain Bolt, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Thus, Hisahito fell into the hands of Hiroaki Uchikura. Accompanying him were right-wing politicians and other groups from the Meiji Restoration Army. It was these people who fabricated outrageous claims in Tokyo such as "America has abandoned Japan" and "Invite China to station troops here."

Hiroaki Uchikura looked at Yuujin with a conflicted expression.

Li Xinghe was right to label him a traitor like Morishita Yasuomi. He had no sense of national righteousness, unlike Li Xinghe who brought Naruhito and his wife and the parliament onto the ship beforehand, wielding special central power and able to criticize them however he pleased.

But now that Hisahito is in his hands, his political righteousness suddenly comes to mind; it's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's been waiting for something to happen.

"You... never mind, we should issue a statement first."

Hiroaki Uchikura and the officers agreed to use Hisahito to cultivate their sense of justice.

So they hastily issued a handwritten declaration:

"The revolutionary army led by Hiroaki Uchikura intends to reform the national system, expel American interference, and enthrone the only prince, Hisahito, as the successor to the throne..."

As for their political goals, they gave a very simple one:

"Down with Li Xinghe! Down with Shigeru Ishiba! Down with the Liberal Democratic Party! Down with the United States-Japan Joint Command!"

Thus, Li Xinghe's plan to combine his three crimes into one was gradually completed.

Therefore, late at night, a temporary discussion meeting was held in the council aboard the Ryujo. After waking up, Li Xinghe took some drugs to refresh himself, and then came to the scene with Hua Yingmei, Aso Ayako, and others to listen in.

Shigeru Ishiba, who still wanted to maintain a mature and prudent demeanor, was now feeling extremely uneasy. He knew he was about to lose control of the situation, but he still tried his best to maintain the country.

"Ah... What are your thoughts on the conspiracy group led by Hisahito, Hiroaki Uchikura, Yasuomi Morishita, and others?"

The members of parliament began a heated debate, launching into a tirade of insults in the usual parliamentary style.

They argued for over an hour before the first round of statements began.

In the first round of statements, only 4% of the members of parliament supported expelling Prince Hisahito from the national civil service, while 7% supported labeling Hiroaki Uchikura, Yasuomi Morishita, and others as national rebels.

During the recess, Li Xinghe sent people to spread rumors:

"News has come from Nagoya that Nagoya, Osaka, and Kyoto are suspected of seeking refuge with Hisahito and breaking away from the control of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government."

"It is said that Hisahito will ascend the throne in Kyoto Prefecture, and Hiroaki Uchikura will establish a second central government."

The truth or falsehood of politics is largely related to whether or not one takes a stand. Just as many people know that movie stars often have two faces, especially in the South Korean entertainment industry, scandals are constantly emerging, from drug use to pornography, from gambling to personal control. But as long as the case isn't completely over, many can still whitewash their image and make a comeback.

The formal merger of Hisahito and Hiroaki Uchikura is tantamount to confirming the formal formation of the three-case merger plan that Li Xinghe was promoting.

So when Li Xinghe spread a few rumors, the officials in Tokyo couldn't help but react.

The second round of statements has begun.

This time, 5% of voters supported expelling Hisahito, while nearly 9% supported labeling Hiroaki Uchikura and others as rebels. Those who opposed this were mostly far-right politicians, who all displayed a refusal to comply, clearly representing the opposition parties in parliament.

Then, Li Xinghe began to berate them:

"Do I need to remind you what the relationship is between the Reform Army and the Reform Party? You are the rebels' inside agents!"

"Guards, arrest them!"

To everyone's astonishment, Li Xinghe directly commanded his soldiers to arrest all the members of the Restoration Society in the Ryujo, in front of the Prime Minister and his wife, the Prime Minister and the cabinet, and members of parliament.

This resulted in the arrest of twenty or thirty members of parliament, and even two far-right politicians were mistakenly injured.

They were just pillars of the nation, but in the blink of an eye, they were taken away by Li Xinghe and were to be thrown into the dungeon of the Qingshan Commandery for severe interrogation. Naturally, their seats as councilors would also be vacant immediately.

As a result, there were far fewer opposition figures in parliament.

Such a stunning performance once again impressed the lawmakers, making them take notice of Li Xinghe.

The third round of statements has begun.

This time, the percentage of lawmakers supporting Hisahito's expulsion exceeded 6%, while the percentage supporting the downfall of Hiroaki Uchikura reached 100%.

Anyone could sense that something was wrong. Li Xinghe was determined to destroy his rival.

We will not give the Self-Defense Forces any chance to back down.

Just as Li Xinghe was gradually gaining control of the meeting, Shigeru Ishiba, Fumio Kishida, Yoshihide Suga, and others, who were still trying to put up a desperate fight and regain control of the situation, were met with a final message from Li Xinghe:

"Something's wrong! The Chinese fleet has been deployed!"

Immediately someone said:

"It's probably a rebellious Self-Defense Force officer who's colluded with the Chinese!"

Then, calls for Shigeru Ishiba to step down gradually arose.

The councilors all supported Li Xinghe's decision to go.

To Shigeru Ishiba's utter disbelief, this young rascal, this very same young scoundrel, had managed to dethrone him as Prime Minister overnight, with just three rounds of statements.

Indeed, the Chinese fleet had already set sail when Li Xinghe contacted Wu Jianzhong.

Departing from Naha Port in Okinawa, the ship sped thousands of miles to the south of Kyushu Island, where it came very close to Japanese territorial waters and sailed eastward at a visible speed. It then approached the Seto Inland Sea and turned towards Tokyo Bay just before entering it.

Just when everyone thought the amphibious fleet was about to enter Tokyo Bay, it turned a corner at the entrance of Tokyo Bay.

No entry.

But it didn't leave; it suddenly slowed down in the nearby sea, as if waiting for something.

This remarkable near-shore detour is, in a sense, seen as a harbinger of a shift in foreign policy.

While most anti-China media outlets began their hysterical screaming, Taiwan's pro-independence media reported on it as if it were a blood feud, and countless pro-democracy activists spoke out frantically about the "cracks appearing in the democratic world," almost smashing their keyboards in two. At the same time, a small group of special individuals with alternative views on the international situation began to operate quietly.

Apart from figures like Lai Chi-ling and Tsai Ing-wen, who have no other choice, or Marcos Jr. of the Philippines, who is a staunch supporter of the United States, the core political circles of East Asian countries—the political elites, political factions, media, and academics—have all been unusually silent.

The objections are nothing more than: "China is interfering in Japan's internal affairs!" and "Self-Defense Force rebels are colluding with China!"

Meanwhile, the voices of support are in discussion:

"China should and must demonstrate its responsibility in global governance."

"Peace in East Asia is not just the responsibility of each country alone."

The meaning is very simple: God, you've finally come out, can't you do something? Can't you take responsibility?

Many scholars believe that East Asia's complex situation is, in a sense, China's fault. While it has profited significantly from East Asia's economy, it has failed to shoulder the corresponding governance responsibilities. Its long-standing policy of non-intervention, in practice, has become one of cooperating with whoever has the strongest military, resulting in China being disliked by both sides and criticized in many situations.

Therefore, the deployment of the Chinese fleet is seen by many as the right thing to do.

You should take care of what you're supposed to do.

After news of China's military intervention spread, defeating Shigeru Ishiba became an issue of the provisional parliament.

He's too cautious and doesn't know how to get things done.

"Down with Shigeru Ishiba! Let's vote now!"

Center-right and far-right politicians such as Kobayashi Takayuki and Kamikawa Yoko have long harbored grievances against Ishiba Shigeru.

This wasn't because of any political differences, but simply because they also wanted to be prime minister.

The voting results came out quickly. With the far right out of power and the left wing incapable of politics, Shigeru Ishiba received 68% of the vote against him in the first round and was immediately impeached, ousted from his position as prime minister.

Stepping down from the podium, Shigeru Ishiba sighed to Li Xinghe:

"You... you should have advised me to quit my job in the first place."

"Times have changed."

Li Xinghe shrugged, without explicitly stating that the time was different.

Finally, in less than half a day, Li Xinghe completely controlled the pace of the parliament.

He stepped onto the podium and began to speak with ease:

"I support Prime Minister Koizumi's temporary return to power to eliminate the rebels. Who supports him? Who opposes him?"

The author says:

Author's note: Thank you for your support. 4600 words.

Chapter 660: Let them laugh and scold, I will be the Emperor (4800 words)

The cabin was dimly lit, with makeshift tables and chairs, creating a chaotic and oppressive atmosphere.

This scene inevitably evokes images of the somber and oppressive bunkers during the fall of the empire.

"I suggest that Prime Minister Koizumi temporarily assume the role of acting prime minister."

Li Xinghe's words were almost a clear indication that he intended to stage a cabinet coup.

The politicians below exchanged bewildered glances, unsure what to say. Just moments ago, over twenty members of the Reform Council had been present, but now Li Xinghe had dragged them all out and imprisoned. What if they said something wrong and ended up locked up themselves?

The Liberal Democratic Party remained silent, but Kenta Izumi, leader of the Legislative Democratic Party, voiced his opposition: "According to you, where does this place the national election?"

Li Xinghe looked down at these people and let out a mocking laugh that echoed throughout the small room:

"Without me, who among you can communicate with Americans? Who can make a phone call into the White House? Who can have a say at Mar-a-Lago? Who can take a photo with Trump and Vance?"
