Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Zhao Gu-hwan knelt before Lee Sung-ha, and a group of young Korean actresses around him obediently knelt down with him. Although they didn't know the reason, there was no need to ask in this situation. Even though everyone recognized Lee Sung-ha's foxy face, they all quickly shut their mouths and remained silent.

Just kneel down and that's it.

"what?"

Li Xinghe frowned.

I was just about to help you take it a step further, and here you are, pulling your hips down like that?

Upon closer inquiry, it turned out to be nothing more than that.

It turned out to be because of Li Xinghe.

The newly appointed South Korean Minister of National Defense and the National Power Party behind him believed that Cho Gu-hwan had many connections with Lee Sung-ha. Cho Gu-hwan's 36th White Tiger Division was stationed in Wonju, South Korea, and it would only take 100 kilometers to advance into Seoul. There was only one 2nd Rapid Reaction Division, "Nutō," stuck in a military camp in Yangpyeong County. This was a helicopter-mobile division and lacked heavy firepower defense.

Therefore, after reasonable discussion, the Ministry of National Defense wanted to remove Cho Gu-hwan from his post.

Li Xinghe began to ponder.

Zhao Juhuan hurriedly said:

"But rest assured, my subordinates are still very loyal, and I have helped them find a big shot in the industry who can support us."

He led the way, taking Li Xinghe to a small room.

A row of South Korean military officers sat in the room. Some were subordinates of Zhao Guhuan who came to keep him company, while others were soldiers from the military camp who were responsible for serving tea and wine, acting like servants.

The two officers looked up and hesitated when they saw Li Xinghe.

Zhao Juhuan knelt beside him and continued his introduction:

"This is General Park Jung-hwan, the former Chief of the Army General Staff. He is from North Gyeongsang Province and has now stepped down, but he still enjoys great prestige in the military."

This is a general who resembles an old farmer.

"This is General Ko Chang-jun, Chief of Staff of the Army. He is from the Ko clan of Jeju and is from Chungcheongnam-do. He has always taken good care of me."

This one, on the other hand, appears to be thin with a long face.

Li Xinghe's gaze shifted between the two old men.

Park Jung-hwan is the former Army Chief of Staff, and Ko Chang-joon is the current Army Chief of Staff. What they have in common is that they both come from regions controlled by the conservative party and have a great deal of control over the South Korean Army.

The fact that the two Army Chiefs of Staff are sitting here certainly has political motives.

They began to talk to Lee Sung-ha about South Korean politics:

"We can't let the National Power Party continue causing trouble. They and those far-right lunatics are always advocating war, confrontation, and fighting to the death. What do they think of the lives of our soldiers?"

"But at the same time, the Democratic Party is too extreme. They are always talking about legal persecution and shouting about strategic autonomy, but behind the scenes they only abuse and mistreat our army."

These South Korean veterans were generally conservatives, and many of them were even fellow townsmen from North Gyeongsang Province, the same region as Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan. They were old forces promoted by the remaining generals of the Isshin-hui.

In South Korean politics today, there is no party that is not extreme. The right wing wants to go to war with North Korea, while the left wing routinely cuts military spending, causing the military a major headache.

Are there any less extreme options?

Now, after some discussion, everyone realizes that military governments that rose to power through coups are more stable and less extreme and belligerent than democratically elected governments.

.

This is even a tradition in South Korea. After Syngman Rhee fell from power, the political struggles became extremely fierce, and it was Park Chung-hee who came out to end the political infighting.

Li Xinghe, on the other hand, pretended to be an outsider:

"If you two want me to change South Korean politics, we have to start with something, right?"

Park Jung-hwan and Go Chang-joon's promises were clearly insufficient; when faced with Lee Sung-ha's demands, they were hesitant and didn't tell the truth.

Clearly, they viewed Li Xinghe at this time as a White House darling and a US special envoy, not some powerful warlord.

Li Xinghe quickly discerned from a single sentence that the two men had no plans for a coup, and then began to steer the conversation:

"Do you remember Liu Bianlong, the man from Xiya Mountain? I'm confident I can get in touch with him. But you'll have to give something in return."

Liu Bianlong, the man from Xiya Mountain, was the pseudonym of the Korean Naturalization Association that Li Xinghe used to run. He was responsible for two terrorist incidents: the assassination of the South Korean Chief of Staff and the drone attack on Yeouido.

Park Jung-hwan, whose incompetence and folly were exposed, made the following suggestions:

"Then let's sink the destroyers of the Second Fleet and repeat the Cheonan incident."

The so-called Cheonan incident refers to the incident that occurred in 2010, when the Cheonan, which was sailing on the Yellow Sea side, was suddenly exploded and sank, killing 48 people.

At the time, South Korea aggressively confronted North Korea, provoking them on all sides and colluding with NATO to accuse North Korea of ​​deliberately launching torpedoes. However, after several months of investigation, the report found no trace of North Korean torpedo boats, and the explosion did not appear to be caused by torpedoes. The incident remains unresolved to this day.

The Second Fleet is stationed at Dangjin Port in Mokpo, Gyeonggi Province, and serves as a protective force for the waters near Seoul.

Gao Changjun, having regained some composure, then suggested:

"No, that would give the People Power Party a handle to provoke a war with North Korea and then impose martial law. It would be better if you, in Seogwipo City, forcibly detained the 73rd Mobile Detachment of the South Korean 7th Mobile Fleet..."

The 73rd Mobile Detachment is a South Korean naval force stationed at Seogwipo Naval Base. It consists of one Sejong the Great-class ship, the Seoyayu Bianlong, and two Yi Sun-sin-class ships, the Dae Jo-yeong and the Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin.

After some casual conversation and some back-and-forth, the matter was settled.

However, Park Jung-hwan and Ko Chang-joon clearly did not intend to entrust Lee Sung-ha with the subsequent matters, so they did not reveal what would happen next. After all, they felt that they were the real players, and seeking Lee Sung-ha's help would be tantamount to seeking American support.

Li Xinghe smiled and took his leave.

"I hope the Navy won't blame you."

When he left, he politely declined the Korean star beauties offered to him.

……

As Musashi Hachimono emerged from the room, she watched Li Xinghe squat down, pull a data eavesdropping stick from the sole of her shoe, and slightly edit the recording inside.

So they continued on their way, turning from Haeundae to Chungmu-dong, another red-light district in Busan.

At the intersection, Ayman and Tulsi boarded the bus one after the other and joined the group.

In another upscale nightclub, a South Korean military general stood, but this time, the one reciting the menu was from the navy:

"Greetings, Your Excellency. I am Liang Longmo, Chief of the Navy."

Li Xinghe shook hands with him with a big smile:

“I am Li Xinghe. This is my wife, Emmanuel, an advisor to the White House Office of Intelligence. We would like to discuss upcoming government matters with you.”

After examining the army, we also need to examine the attitude of the South Korean navy.

Perhaps because of his higher level of education, Liang Longmo didn't call for female escorts; instead, he excitedly slapped his thigh.

"Personally, I don't want any more cuts to military spending, but I also don't want another war. Generally speaking, this is the attitude of many of my naval colleagues. What is the attitude of the United States?"

Li Xinghe didn't mention the United States, but he did mention the Army:

"The Army has made its own choice; they want to sacrifice the Second Fleet to create a crisis."

"Xiba!"

Liang Longmo slammed his fist on the table and stood up in great anger.

Li Xinghe also provided them with a solution:

"I suggest that the navy consider striking first. I can help the navy create a food crisis in South Korea and promote a shift in public opinion."

"please."

Liang Longmo felt that he had received the Americans' tacit approval, and his confidence immediately increased.

Both the Army Chief of Staff and the Navy Chief of Staff believed that they were the ones in charge of this coup.

Subsequently, Ayman gave Liang Longmo a contact list, instructing him to coordinate with the CIA when preparing to launch a coup.

The two sides concluded their meeting.

Lee Sung-ha left Busan like a fox spirit.

Musashi Hachima-no-Mae sticks out her tongue:

"You're so mean. You've got them completely fooled."

"It's okay, I'll be worse. Besides, they actually know about each other's existence, they just always think they're the main character."

Li Xinghe pondered.

South Korea's agricultural model is exactly the same as Japan's, both equally unethical. Moreover, the Korean Agricultural Cooperative has neither learned Japan's advantages nor its disadvantages, resulting in South Korea's rice and commodity prices being among the highest in the world.

How can we incite unrest among the people when an economic crisis has already occurred and rice prices remain high?

To cause sabotage.

How to destroy it?

set fire.

When it comes to arson, the CIA is a professional.

Lee Sung-ha instructed the CIA to use arson to mobilize the South Korean military.

Drones took off and set fire to the mountains and forests, causing thick smoke to billow from the mountains and the smoke to be visible at sea.

A massive spring fire swept across the Taebaek and Sobaek mountain ranges, prompting South Korean fire departments to mobilize intensively, but they were still unable to stop the CIA's deliberately arson drones.

Therefore, South Korea had no choice but to activate local divisions at all levels and send them to fight the wildfires. The troops were mobilized and began to leave their defense zones.

The flaw was revealed.

Back to Jeju Island.

As planned, Lee Sung-ha's fleet was stationed near the 73rd Mobile Detachment of South Korea in Seogwipo City, so Lee Sung-ha instructed his subordinates to prepare for trouble, sending out multiple teams skilled in provocation and fighting to cause chaos in bars, streets, and gas stations.

Soon, US troops grabbed a South Korean man and slapped him repeatedly in the base bar, deliberately provoking a fight that broke out between the two sides.

Then the small-team battles escalated to large-scale clashes between the two sides, and the South Koreans, outnumbered, were quickly defeated.

Then the US military, along with the Japanese and coastal combat brigades, stormed into the South Korean barracks, stormed their dormitories, and subjected the South Koreans to ultimate humiliation. Some of the barracks even saw incidents.

As the fighting raged on, intense machine gun fire and explosions echoed from the port.

"what's the situation?"

When the soldiers ran out, they saw that the ships had begun exchanging fire.

Perhaps driven mad by the extreme pain of being repeatedly engaged in combat with South Korean troops, or perhaps due to poor skill leading to operational errors, the Xiya Liu Bianlong, under the watchful eyes of many, uncontrollably activated its vertical launch system and launched an attack on the US warships, including the USS Shiloh, which were blocking the island's access.

The close-in weapon systems (CIWS) of ships like the Shiloh were activated in rapid succession, with bullets sweeping across the sky like a swarm of bees, shooting down the missiles that were taking off. However, it is unclear whether they were all incompetent, as more than one ship temporarily activated its reaction mechanism and launched anti-aircraft missiles to intercept them. As a result, the dense array of CIWS in the sky resembled a swarm of bees fighting each other, with bullets flying everywhere and large holes being shot into the hulls of the ships like a honeycomb.

Several missiles flew through the air, their locations and causes unknown. One missile, however, flew out of the Phalanx CIWS's firing range and, without any navigation, headed towards Hallasan Mountain, creating a huge cloud of smoke that shocked the world.

Seeing that fighting had broken out at the port, Li Xinghe wrote a couplet in scribbles:

"A great fire dries up the blue sky and the sea of ​​clouds."

"A few stars shattered the backbone of the Three Han Kingdoms."

After finishing writing, Li Xinghe looked at...

Seeing the generals who had barged in, he couldn't help but rebuke them:

"What are you looking at me for? Arrest them! Arrest all the Koreans, leave no one alive!"

Everyone responded with excitement and enthusiasm.

Now it was the turn of the Americans, Chinese, and Ukrainians in the coalition forces to demonstrate to the South Korean soldiers what it meant to strike six times in one second and what it meant to be utterly terrified.

Amidst the fierce beatings, heated exchanges were also quite common:

"You...we are allies of South Korea and the United States..."

"Bullshit."

"I am the US military, you are just auxiliary troops! Aggressors dare to fire on their master? This is outrageous!"

Scenes of Americans using iron rods to discipline South Koreans did not only occur in military camps.

Li Xinghe quickly dispatched the G Brigade to launch attacks across the island, arresting and assaulting civil servants and political figures on Jeju Island, and then instructing them:

"Because the South Korean army fired on the US military, we have decided to occupy Jeju Island!"

The whole island was in an uproar. The memory of the massacre by the South Korean army in the last century was still fresh, and people were fleeing everywhere.

Lee Sung-ha then sent a notification to the US military stationed in South Korea from the port:

"I am Lee Sung-ha, Director of the White House Office of Communications with Japan and South Korea. Based on the case of the South Korean Navy attacking our fleet, I am now requesting that the Seventh Fleet's South Korean branch immediately withdraw to Yokosuka."

The Eighth Army and the Seventh Air Force immediately took control of their respective positions, regrouped their troops, and coordinated with my operation.
