In his interpretation, all these policies were implemented by Li Xinghe, and that he used kneeling as a pretext to exchange money from the Chinese people.

This news undoubtedly sparked a massive media storm in Japan.

The Japanese are used to the first tactic, and similar incidents always occur at relevant junctures. But the latter has genuinely caused a huge uproar in public opinion.

For the Japanese, whose public opinion is generally quite conservative and whose political views are polarized, the average Japanese citizen isn't particularly interested in this. Does denying the existence of Chinese and Koreans mean they don't exist? Moreover, Li Xinghe had just recently launched a crackdown on illegal Muslim immigrants, leaving Kurds bloodied, and some Japanese gamblers even took advantage of the situation to marry Kurdish women. Therefore, they are actually somewhat accepting of this policy.

However, politically minded left-wing and right-wing Japanese people launched a war of words over this.

The mainstream online right wing is mainly divided into different factions such as the Imperial Right Wing, the Conservative Right Wing, and the National Socialist Right Wing. Apart from the National Socialist Right Wing, which transitioned from a left-wing socialist group, almost all right-wing groups have launched verbal attacks against Li Xinghe.

Netizens engaged in a fierce online battle of words in the comments section.

"First they recognized the Ainu, then the Ryukyuans, and now, will they further divide and conquer?"

Are the ethnic groups divided into the Kansai and Kanto ethnic groups?

Don't Koreans and Chinese have their own motherland? Do they need you to be so filial?

"I doubt that Mr. Li has ever considered himself Japanese. Does he even know who Akechi Mitsuhide is?"

As public opinion spread, right-wing activists who were still celebrating the Lunar New Year at home had no choice but to rush back to their posts while cursing and trying to find ways to stop Li Xinghe's traitorous act.

This time, the forces that joined the attack on Li Xinghe were no longer Japanese netizens, but rather right-wing general incorporated groups that had considerable influence during elections in various regions.

Left-wing political groups do support Li Xinghe's push to recognize the existence of multiple ethnic groups in Japan, but Li Xinghe is a clear tool of American colonial rule in Japan. Therefore, they support Li Xinghe's decisions but oppose Li Xinghe himself, and are clearly not strong enough in their verbal battle with the right wing.

As we all know, ordinary, unorganized Japanese citizens can just rant online; they have no power to organize, and they'll wake up the next day to be temporary workers again, eating expensive 1500 yen fast food. But when corporations with local political influence start to take action, things become quite different.

In the traditional postwar Japanese perception, right-wingers were often seen as ragged, mentally unstable idiots who drove around blaring loudspeakers. But the emergence of one organization changed all that: the Japan Conference. This was a corporation comprised of over 30,000 elite members from across the country, including professors, priests, monks, politicians, and business owners—a veritable aggregator of Japan's elite right-wing elements.

The Japanese conference and Li Xinghe also had a Shinto political alliance relationship, so the first person to take action was not them, but the far-right group that was incited—the Special Conference.

The full name of the special meeting is the Foreigner Privileges Not Allowed Meeting in Japan.

Although nominally they are preventing foreigners in Japan from enjoying special privileges, just look at the reality of over a hundred US military bases across Japan and the extraterritorial rights enjoyed by US soldiers. Yet these people demand anti-China and anti-North Korea stances, refuse to acknowledge the harm caused by World War II, oppose the left-wing's masochistic view of history, and support the idea that if Taiwan is in trouble, Japan is in trouble. This reveals the filth and scum in their heads.

The Special Association, serving as the political matrix of 14,000 members, incubated the Japan First Party, founded by Makoto Sakurai, which adopted a far-right style and had only a little over 1,000 members.

Therefore, together with far-right groups who temporarily joined the protest, they gathered more than 20,000 people to launch a march and demonstration in Toranomon, Tokyo.

Down with Li Xinghe!

"Japan is not a colony!"

The angry voices didn't carry far.

As the march approached Nagatacho, a large group of vans and ride-hailing vehicles, their license plates covered in mud, surged forward; groups of new Chinese and Koreans had come to attack.

"beat!"

The core of this operation is the "Boxer Rebellion" among taxi drivers scattered throughout Tokyo. This registered right-wing Chinese group is not going to give the Japanese right wing a friendly look.

After all, Li Xinghe's plan essentially gave more opportunities to Chinese people in Japan. Therefore, the participants included not only core veterans of the Boxer Rebellion, but also various Chinese small restaurant owners, small business owners and foremen, as well as Korean gangsters and pachinko parlor owners in Japan.

That very night, the New Chinese Right Wing Group brandished baseball bats and crowbars, and brutally attacked the Japanese right wing members on the street.

On a neon-lit night, two groups of people displayed the passionate spirit of street sports near Nagatacho. Specifically, the New Chinese right-wing group defeated the Japanese right-wing group with a few sets of military boxing techniques, using baseball bats and crowbars, and then fled by car when the US-Japan joint forces 'just in time' arrived.

The coalition forces, on the other hand, simply arrested people.

"You're under arrest!"

When the media reporters arrived, they saw blood everywhere. The entire hospital was filled with right-wing activists who had been beaten until they were bleeding and had broken bones, all under the supervision of soldiers from the US-Japan coalition. Each truckload of wounded soldiers was treated and then taken away, all crammed into the temporary camp that the Qingshan Command had built after seizing the Qingshan Cemetery.

This move prompted reporters to flock to the Cabinet Affairs Department to surround Lee Sung-ha.

Li Xinghe had been waiting here for a long time, ready to give the Japanese right wing a good beating.

Reporters swarmed around them:

"What is your opinion on the arrest of more than 10,000 people from the Japan First Party at the special meeting?"

Li Xinghe then changed the subject:

"I'm puzzled. Why doesn't an organization that opposes the privileges of foreigners in Japan oppose US military bases? After all, those are the largest foreign privileged entities in Japan. In reality, China poses almost no threat to Japan, and the North Korean abduction incident happened decades ago. But just yesterday, another underage girl was abducted near Atsugi Air Base. Yet no one seems to care. Do these so-called anti-foreign privilege organizations really consider the abduction of underage girls as part of US privilege?"

The reporter, stared intently at by Li Xinghe, was speechless for a long time, but finally managed to utter a classic double standard:

"Then...can they be the same?"

Yes, how can they be the same?

The United States is Japan's father. It's easy for a father to beat his son, but for a son to curse his father is considered unfilial.

The Chinese and Koreans don't have much political influence in Japan, which is why they oppose the US. But the US military actually has guns, cannons, and tanks, so the Japanese right wing doesn't dare to oppose the US.

"Tell me more, how do you plan to deal with them?"

The media also discovered Li Xinghe's fun side.

Li Xinghe deliberately directed the anger of the Japanese right wing towards the US military base during his answers, revealing the truth behind the Japanese right wing's anti-China and pro-US kneeling. The media really didn't dare to broadcast it all, but the public was more likely to follow Li Xinghe's line of thinking.

In short, they are good at exposing historical figures and their interviews are far more interesting than those of the incompetent and muddle-headed old politicians of the past.

Reporters flocked to the hot topics.

Turning back to the steps in front of his office, Li Xinghe gestured for the reporters to hold their microphones closer, and then openly announced:

"Considering that those arrested at the special meeting and the Japan First Party all support the idea that if Taiwan is in trouble, Japan is in trouble, then I have decided to grant their request. I have decided to organize the various right-wing members who have been arrested into the National Self-Defense Force and send them to the front line in Taiwan. I have heard that there are many coastal defense fortifications that need to be built there, and they are constantly threatened by rocket artillery from the other side of the strait. I believe they will fight hard under the shelling and sacrifice themselves for their ideals. By the way, I think this decision can be regarded as a precedent, sending all subsequent right-wing troublemakers to the front line of defending the island in Taiwan, so that the country will be very peaceful."

The scene fell silent.

Li Xinghe always has countless imaginative ideas.

Since Japan's idiotic right-wingers always think that if Taiwan is in trouble, Japan is in trouble, then let's send them to Taiwan. Sending this bunch of mentally challenged, middle-aged, and obese idiots there will not only drag down Taiwan's already meager defense funds, but also coerce them into having a say in Taiwan affairs. Furthermore, we can use the artillery fire in the event of future war to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, and also clear out the right-wing atmosphere in Japan, reducing the right-wingers' troublemaking activities. It's practically killing five birds with one stone.

Sending such cannon fodder over there would even take up Taiwan's already limited defense equipment, but Li Xinghe wouldn't give them a single penny or bullet.

This news, which struck like a thunderbolt, shocked all the media reporters.

Some of them even dislocated their jaws because they simply couldn't grasp the full meaning of Li Xinghe's words. It took them a long time to realize that this meant being exiled to the army.

The reporters were in an uproar:

"Isn't this just exile? This is already a violation of the constitution..."

Li Xinghe immediately retorted:

"Please note that the Japanese Constitution does not prohibit the conscription of criminal citizens into the military (because there is no army). Furthermore, this is not actually a punishment, but a reward—a reward only for groups supporting 'Taiwan in need' and 'the formation of a national army.' After all, Japan has no army, and I will be forming Japan's first national army and sending them to the Taiwan battlefield, which they most yearn for and anticipate. It's rare that I simultaneously fulfill..."

Shouldn't the right-wing groups be grateful to me for their two demands?

Just like that famous Chinese internet meme.

Why did this happen? For the first time, they received the long-awaited National Army, and for the first time, they received a promise that if Taiwan were in trouble, Japan would be in trouble. These two joys overlapped, which should have brought even more happiness, but why did it turn out like this?

Why are we being made cannon fodder?!

The media were so shocked they wet themselves in disbelief. Li Xinghe waved and entered the Cabinet Affairs Department building:

"No point in saying more, goodnight."

Li Xinghe's amazing ideas kept the Japanese Ministry of Justice up all night. They searched through existing laws but couldn't find any regulations or restrictions on conscripting criminals into the military.

Both Koizumi and his son were shocked by Li Xinghe:

"what?"

The Liberal Democratic Party, the Risshiden Party, the Japanese Communist Party, and other parties were also stunned:

"what?"

The entire nation was shocked and unable to contain themselves:

"what?"

The result of the disturbance was that he was captured by Mio and sent to Taiwan to guard the beach as a human shield. Was this a reward or a punishment?

Japanese netizens are engaged in a heated debate.

"This is torture! This is slaughter! This is torture!"

Right-wing netizens launched a fierce attack on Li Xinghe and threatened to harass his home in Tokyo. After all, while right-wingers may be intellectually challenged, they haven't completely lost their minds. To send someone in this state to Taiwan—is that military service? Isn't that just using them as cannon fodder?

Ordinary people, who make up the majority of the middle class and urban left-wing residents, ridiculed the right wing:

"Right-wingers are all cowards!"

After all, both the conflict in Taiwan and the formation of a national army are consistent policy goals of the Japanese far-right. Li Xinghe met both of their demands, only requiring them to serve in the military. However, the Japanese right wing refused to comply.

Nobody likes a group that exploits others' health, orchestrates others' enlistment and deaths behind the scenes, and only hides in the background boasting loudly.

Unbeknownst to many, ordinary Japanese people who had previously supported right-wing policies and acted impulsively withdrew from right-wing groups, hastily distancing themselves from these groups and refusing to associate with cowards.

It wasn't that there weren't any brainless right-wingers who volunteered to go to Taiwan to serve in the military. Li Xinghe naturally supported them getting out of there as soon as possible, and in the end, they all went to Taiwan to guard the beaches, and then rockets were used to bombard the area and kill them all.

Li Xinghe, who had instigated the public debate, kept sighing in his office:

"Fishing brings heavy karmic burdens."

Once the net was cast, all the fish took the bait themselves.

……

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, while the news of the special meeting and the Japanese First Party's decision to send Li Xinghe to Taiwan as cannon fodder shocked the public, it didn't actually disrupt the normal functioning of society or production. It was simply a matter of purging some radical fringe elements. Sending them to Taiwan might even save on national healthcare spending.

As Japanese people gradually returned to work, another wave of rumors shocked Japanese residents.

This time it's another YouTuber with 10 followers who frequently releases accurate information:

"According to underground sources, Tokyo Building and Mizuho Bank have both acquired Li Xinghe's shares and obtained the development rights for the port area. And that's not all; the US-Japan Joint Command is directing construction companies in the port area, supposedly to transform the bombed-out Imperial Palace into a fortress! A fortress for US and Chinese rule over Japan!"

Netizens went wild once again, unsurprisingly:

"They want to build an 80-story fortress in the heart of Tokyo!"

"They've already built the Aoyama Command Post, erecting such an ugly fortress in the heart of Tokyo. Now they're going to ruin the Imperial Palace too?"

"They even mentioned the Qingshan Command Headquarters. After the Qingshan Cemetery was smashed by helicopters, they took the opportunity to seize the cleared graves, saying they wanted to build some kind of military barracks and dormitories, and they wouldn't allow the descendants of those graves to clean up their ancestors' ashes!"

The Japanese people's outrage ignited a series of explosive resentments across the internet and public opinion.

Many netizens found the comments outrageous and difficult to accept.

"How did we suddenly switch to the Gintama universe like that?! Damn it!"

"Hideaki Sorachi is a prophet!"

The sense of déjà vu is already there.

Isn't this the Tower of Babylon in the heart of Edo City from Gintama?

What? First, there were rumors of accepting Chinese and Korean people, supposedly to attract a large influx of foreign investment. Is this the next step in a new era of opening up to the outside world at the end of the Edo period, with overseas people being superior to foreigners in colonial stories? Has Japan already become such a hopeless, garbage dump country?

Now, even ordinary citizens couldn't stand Li Xinghe's reckless behavior.

Do you have any shame?

Li Xinghe was indeed in the Imperial Palace at this moment.

He was with the well-regarded Emperor Naruhito and his wife, discussing the reconstruction of the Imperial Palace.

Li Xinghe gestured confidently at the somber imperial palace:

"The reconstruction of the new Imperial Palace will significantly reduce greenery and instead expand into large buildings of various styles to accommodate more government departments and royal families, while also showcasing the fusion of elements from multiple countries. Once the new Imperial Palace is completed, the Akasaka Palace and other annex buildings will be open to the public, allowing the people of Tokyo to enjoy more green gardens."

The Deren couple wiped the sweat from their foreheads, meekly submitting to Li Xinghe's domineering attitude.

However, the large-scale construction of the Imperial Palace still caused Emperor Naruhito and his wife to worry, asking, "Won't the public strongly oppose it?"

Li Xinghe made a strong decision:

"If they dare to make a move, we'll let them try the number one dish on Tokyo's must-eat list."

"what?"

Shang Qiujia carefully explained from the side:

"5.56 bullets."

De Ren and his wife were even more terrified and dared not utter a word.

Standing at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, Li Xinghe gave instructions on which areas should be planned according to military standards, while simultaneously spreading the word to the outside world:

"The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has given a one-month ban on political demonstrations and will suspend any applications for political demonstrations. Any further violations will be considered riots. In order to ensure the health of the national economy and the stability of the stock and bond markets, a special diplomatic operation will be carried out for three months."

The new ban directly prohibits right-wing demonstrations in Tokyo.
