Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Ships can be defined flexibly.

The US-Japan Joint Forces are an army that belongs to both the US and Japan, but ultimately, they are Li Xinghe's own private army.

If you dare to increase my taxes, I'll make it back through smuggling.

Li Xinghe announced:

“Vance can’t buy my arms supplies and at the same time try to stop me from using the US-Japan joint fleet to transport Chinese smuggled goods. The era of massive smuggling has begun.”

The author says:

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. 4600 words. Trump's brain-dead actions have left me speechless. I'm now urgently revising the manuscript, retconning the source material, and returning it to the original timeline. Something also happened at home, which I can't talk about right now, but last night I was forced to go out on the streets in the middle of the night looking for someone, which was extremely frustrating. I apologize for the trouble.

Chapter 712: Fuck Li Xinghe, Liaoning Aircraft Carrier Enters Tokyo Bay (4500 words)

"Vance's goal is to get money. But when I refused, he tried to extort money from me by imposing tariffs on cars."

On this day, Li Xinghe summoned representatives from various companies to a breakfast meeting at the Cabinet Residence to explain what had happened.

Representatives from several automakers, including Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, and Suzuki, sat across from each other, completely bewildered. They had no idea what had happened: Li Xinghe and Vans had suddenly fallen out, and then Japan's exemption from import taxes on automobiles had been revoked.

Representatives from banks such as Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Mizuho Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui & Co., and Norinchukin Bank sat on the left, while representatives from defense companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Subaru (Fuji Heavy Industries), Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Harima Heavy Industries sat on the right.

Everyone was uneasy, fearing that the government would act recklessly, yet also fearing that the government would not intervene.

Li Xinghe's hand gently stroked the bank, but it was as if a raging flood or Mount Fuji erupted, causing more than a dozen representatives to immediately stand up and be scolded as soon as Li Xinghe lost his temper.

But Li Xinghe didn't curse; instead, he sighed:

"I signed the Twenty-Two Articles with China because I wanted the Japanese auto industry to integrate and develop with the Chinese auto supply chain, to ride the wave of the times. Even if we can't keep up with the wave, we should at least keep up with its exhaust emissions. If I hadn't signed the Twenty-Two Articles, Japan would have been taxed by Trump. Now that I've signed the Twenty-Two Articles, Vance still wants money from me. Doesn't that mean I signed the Twenty-Two Articles for nothing?"

After their outburst of anger, several companies hurriedly requested Li Xinghe to "issue instructions."

"My plan is..."

The first message was released very quickly:

"The Prime Minister's official residence is attempting to negotiate with Mexico and Canada to advance a zero-tariff mechanism for the transshipment of automobiles!"

These car companies exporting cars, or manufacturing cars locally, can easily sell them at dealerships on the Mexican-Canadian border. Li Xinghe doesn't care who buys them or who ends up with the cars.

How would I know? What business is it of mine?

If I had any say in this, I would have taken over managing the US-Mexico border and the US-Canada border for you long ago.

Therefore, Li Xinghe's strategy was to have major Japanese automakers set up service centers at the US border, then sell cars there, or even smuggle them into the US. As long as people bought them, the US couldn't possibly control the situation.

Soon after, a second message appeared:

"The five major trading companies—Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Sumitomo Corporation, Itochu Corporation, and Marubeni Corporation—have jointly decided to each contribute 2 trillion yen, totaling 10 trillion yen, for the import of affordable goods and the economic revitalization plan. In the future, the five major trading companies will focus on cooperating with the Sally Group to expand domestic AI+ logistics, network transportation scheduling, and other models, thereby increasing entrepreneurial and employment opportunities for the general public."

Tokyo stock market suddenly bucked the trend and rose.

The 10 trillion yen import plan, the five major trading companies, and the Sally Group, an internet unicorn, are the real shot in the arm for boosting the economy.

The Japanese public is also very satisfied.

Li Xinghe is indeed a capable person.

After the breakfast meeting administered two strong stimulants, the Tokyo stock market and the financial sector gradually felt reassured, and the Japanese stock index reversed course and rose.

Katayama Mizuo compiled various phone requests for Li Xinghe:

"US Ambassador to Japan George Glass wants to meet with you and talk again about your argument with Vance."

What's there to talk about with him?

The ticket price for meeting this guy has dropped below $10.

Li Xinghe waved his hand forcefully:

"I'm not afraid of anyone, and I won't see anyone. I won't back down."

However, Li Xinghe soon received a phone call.

It was the Trump family that called.

Kay Trump asked in a sweet, sugary voice, "Grandpa asked me to ask you what happened?"

Li Xinghe complained to her:

“Vance has changed. He has become somewhat disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, impolite, unwise, and untrustworthy!”

This bastard actually tried to rob Li Xinghe of the money he had stolen from the Central Treasury of Agriculture and Forestry.

Trump, of course, couldn't understand.

Fortunately, his granddaughter studies Chinese, but how can she translate Li Xinghe's words?

After several girls discussed the matter, they finally gave up on treatment and said helplessly:

He said Vance was disloyal.

The 83-year-old Trump, whose Alzheimer's was getting worse, heard familiar words. He didn't particularly like Vance either, and fell into deep thought.

With Trump remaining silent, the chaos within the Republican Party appears even more chaotic.

Shortly afterward, someone came over holding a phone:

"US Secretary of State Rubio wants to talk to you, this time it's because..."

"I won't listen."

After much deliberation, Li Xinghe decided to deliver another punch to Vance to vent his anger.

"Arrange an internal phone call. I want to invite the Liaoning aircraft carrier group to Tokyo for a peace visit so that we can jointly commemorate the 84th anniversary of Japan's surrender and the end of World War II."

Foreign officials still remind:

"The other party still wants to keep making phone calls..."

Li Xinghe picked up the phone and immediately started cursing:

"No, fuck you!"

On the other end of the phone, Rubio, who had returned to the core of American politics thanks to the alliance between the Republican Freedom Caucus and Vance, was full of questions and was inexplicably scolded.

The problem is that he only understood one word: 'No'.

……

As the storm clouds over Tokyo intensified, the already collapsing Liberal Democratic Party gradually approached the brink of dissolution.

Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei, who brought all of this together, sat in the Sky Mirror Italian Restaurant with her best friend Shui Jing Tianping, jokingly saying:

"It looks like another political storm is brewing."

Shui Jing Tian Ping sighed deeply.

"Diplomacy and trade, it's all so chaotic."

Hua Yingmei also found it somewhat unbelievable:

"Vans wanted to rob him on the way, but Xinghe didn't want to be robbed. It was such a simple matter, yet it turned into an earth-shattering international struggle."

They were chatting in Shinjuku, not far away.

In the luxurious ancestral home of the Aso family, Ayako Aso, wearing a fake toy, rode on Mrs. Usuki, trying to vent her anger.

"Still crying? Are you done crying? If you're done crying, lie down obediently. I'm not done having fun yet."

After she finished, she took off the collar and sat down to write her campaign plan.

Soon, she will be running for prime minister.

As for the prime minister, the current prime minister is still indulging in a life of pleasure.

"Huh? I resigned?"

After a few days of revelry in Yokosuka, Koizumi Shinjiro stumbled out of an izakaya, drunk, only to find the television channels filled with Li Xinghe's wide-eyed, captivating gaze.

Everyone on the streets was talking about "Li Xinghe's achievements," and various small shops, restaurants, and convenience stores put up signs saying "Xinghe's Big Sale," indicating that their goods and meal sets had been discounted due to Li Xinghe's liberalization policies.

Koizumi asked near his home:

"What happened?"

Koizumi's neighbors were astonished:

"Oh dear, you haven't resigned yet?"

People no longer took him seriously, even though Shinjiro Koizumi was still Japan's nominal prime minister at the time.

……

The Liaoning aircraft carrier group initially declined Li Xinghe's invitation.

"It's a trap!"

"Haha, I'm not going."

Nonsense, at this point, any contact would be seen as an ambush.

Moreover, the visit invitation was completely out of the blue, and we didn't make any preparations at all.

However, with the help of an inside contact, the Liaoning aircraft carrier miraculously crossed Tokyo Bay and, guided by a Japanese barge, slowly entered the bay.

The Japanese were caught off guard, the Americans were caught off guard, and even the Chinese in Tokyo were caught off guard. They didn't even have time to buy subway tickets and could only hurriedly find Sally's ride-hailing service to rush to the port.

The Liaoning aircraft carrier from China, along with its carrier strike group, slowly sailed into the Reiwa Artificial Island Special Administrative Region in Tokyo Bay. Amidst red slogans, historical imprints of the "Long March Spirit," "Three Great Transformations," and "Black Cat, White Cat," as well as a sculpture of black-rimmed glasses with profound significance, the Liaoning, assisted by barges from its home port, docked next to the fake divisional barracks on the Zero Island, preparing for a three-day public open day.

The Ryujo, Hosho, Kaohsiung, and Shiloh ships accompanied the Liaoning aircraft carrier on both sides. They did not look like ships from hostile countries. The flags of the three countries fluttered quietly in the harbor. Soldiers who came and went to greet the visitors stared at each other.

The soldiers on the ship looked down at the park below, and something just didn't seem right.

Is this still Japan?

What are we supposed to do with this?

Did I travel back to China?

The soldiers on shore were mostly from China, looking at the Liaoning aircraft carrier docked at the port with question marks on their faces, holding the sesame seed cakes in their hands, at a loss.

What's going on here?

How did China's aircraft carrier suddenly dock in Tokyo?

Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, who was in charge of welcoming the guests at the scene, read his prepared statement with a puzzled look on his face.

"This unit was a hypothetical enemy division that the United States specifically requested to be stationed here. We decided to stop the covert training of this unit and instead make it public, integrating it into the 1st Armored Division of the Joint Forces."

A seemingly casual remark appears to reveal some unspeakable conspiracy.

"Huh? A hypothetical enemy division? What kind of unit is this?" The Liaoning aircraft carrier group and the ambassador to Japan present were all taken aback.

The Japanese officials at the scene also looked puzzled.

Most people, including Chinese and Americans, never imagined that a special legion would be hidden on the Reiwa artificial island, specifically designed to simulate Chinese power, using Chinese flags and slogans, driving VT4 tanks, and equipped with a large number of Norinco export products.

Even Xu Baofeng, who was in charge of the division, never expected that his troops, after hiding for so long, would appear in front of the Japanese and the world in this way.

Chinese and Japanese media outlets were snapping photos like crazy, and one crazy decision after another seemed to reflect the confrontation between Li Xinghe and Vance everywhere.

at the same time.

CNN reporters, who weren't allowed inside and could only film from the outside, gathered their crew on the harbor and told viewers with great surprise:

"We have witnessed one of the most fantastical scenes in modern history."

He described what he saw and heard in extremely exaggerated language:

"China's Liaoning aircraft carrier group actually represents China entering..."

Tokyo, Japan. Although their stated purpose was a peace visit to commemorate the arrival of peace, we can see that a special American military unit appears to exist on the shore—a secret, hypothetical enemy force designed to counter the Chinese. And Li Xinghe chose to have this unit receive the Chinese! He's simply…”

The reporter on the scene was panting, no longer knowing how to describe Li Xinghe, this madman with the bizarre thought process, how he managed to keep so many alive.

The Chinese soldiers on the shore, and the monkey-like Chinese soldiers, were still staring at each other with bewildered expressions.

The CNN anchors were already laughing so hard they were spitting out their food.

"He's a genius! How...how could he come up with such a method?"

Without a doubt, Li Xinghe is a genius.

The nominal enemy of the enemy division is China, but its actual target for suppression is Tokyo. It was authorized by the Pentagon to be established by Li Xinghe as a tool to prevent Japan from shifting to the left.
