Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Upon learning the situation, Li Xinghe felt neither joy nor sorrow, only a sense of helpless acceptance:

"Koizumi... with his IQ, he's basically done for the future."

I didn't feel sad.

Koizumi's intelligence is such that if he doesn't do something foolish, it would surprise Li Xinghe. As for Akiba Takeo's behind-the-scenes machinations, that makes perfect sense. After all, he's the director of the National Security Bureau, theoretically Li Xinghe's superior, yet Li Xinghe has repeatedly sidelined him; even a clay figure has some temper.

It's a bit of a shame. Li Xinghe had hoped that Koizumi would be more obedient, at least until he stepped down peacefully, so that Li Xinghe could offer him a good future. Unfortunately, this time Li Xinghe could only send him back to his hometown.

Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei tapped the table, reminding Li Xinghe:

"The question is, should we make this a major case or a minor one? Don't forget, five former prime ministers are still in our prisons. In principle, they should be released by now. If we want to make this a major case, we should release them back into the Liberal Democratic Party and arrest them all without leaving a single one alive."

Yes, that's the real problem.

What should the Liberal Democratic Party do?

These days, the characteristics of the Cabinet Secretariat, which controls the government, have become unmistakable. The power of the Japanese Diet has weakened to an unprecedented degree, and Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) members, facing the extreme collapse of their party's power, can only barely manage to get by. This party, a huge vested interest group formed by Shigeru Yoshida in postwar Japan, faces the question: should it be eliminated or spared?

"What to do? Only kill."

After much deliberation, Li Xinghe decided to kill them all.

Only by completely purging the entire Liberal Democratic Party can Li Xinghe continue to crush the resistance of Japanese domestic political forces.

Therefore, he decided to let Yoshihide Suga, Fumio Kishida, Shigeru Ishiba, and others go back and rejoin the Liberal Democratic Party to see who would ultimately prevail.

So he said:

"Let them go. I want to see how many more days the Liberal Democratic Party can survive."

After careful consideration, Hua Yingmei exclaimed:

"The only downside is that if our political persecution is too intense, it could affect the national elections that will be held in May or June."

Li Xinghe, on the other hand, remained calm and magnanimous.

"It's alright, the Japanese will understand. They are actually very flexible."

Don't consider the Japanese perspective, because their own ideas are meaningless.

Just like MacArthur did, can't understand? A few more beatings and you'll understand. Did the Showa-era Japanese just refuse to take a photo with MacArthur? Did the Japanese just not want to be raped? Did they not have to spread their legs? The Japanese didn't even want Shang Qiujia's child to be the heir to the throne, and Fumihito wanted to be emperor himself. There aren't that many things that go as planned.

The colonists will find their own way to survive, just as they would accept the increasing number of English words entering Japan and even take pride in it. When Li Xinghe takes control of everything, they will obediently turn around and take pride in using Chinese words.

The news quickly reached the Qingshan Command.

Shigeru Ishiba and the others were finally released.

According to senior Liberal Democratic Party officials, this shows that Li Xinghe is also afraid of the Americans and is taking advantage of Trump's visit to Japan to hastily release a group of political prisoners to prove his purity.

Elizabeth, the German-American woman in charge of intelligence control at the Qingshan Command, watched with a broad smile as the group was picked up in a black luxury car:

“Go on, but believe me, in a few days you will be crying and begging to come back and go in again.”

……

Late March.

Kay Trump landed at Yokota Airport aboard his private jet.

Li Xinghe, Maria, Enola, Scarlett, and other old friends arrived at the airport in a jeep to greet him.

"Haha, long time no see."

Today, Kai, a sporty and pretty young woman, looked much more mature in her elegant suit dress. Upon seeing Li Xinghe, the man who had saved her life multiple times and with whom she had shared joyful moments in bed, she wanted to get closer, but maintained basic politeness in front of the media cameras.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Xinghe sighed to Kai:

"The US has increased the base tariff on Japan by 10%, plus the 25% tariff on automobiles, which has already affected the prices of 35% of our automobile exports. Vance, that guy, he really is a disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unjust person. We shouldn't have let him run for president in the first place."

After all, Vance was a figure pushed forward by Trump's backers, not handpicked by Trump himself. Vance's decision to raise taxes at this time is purely an attempt to provoke Trump by sending his granddaughter to Tokyo to meet with Li Xinghe, a roundabout way of achieving his goal. This fully demonstrates the political conflict between the Vance faction and the Trump faction.

The rest of the story is unremarkable.

They took photos, boasted, and discussed US-Japan peace.

To create something new, Li Xinghe took Kai to the Liaoning aircraft carrier and showed her around this historic Cold War-era ship:

"Look, this is China's first aircraft carrier prototype. In fact, you may be the first American to board this carrier after it enters service, or even the only American in its lifetime."

"Ah I?"

In any case, the crew of the Liaoning were probably very annoyed by Li Xinghe's unpredictable personality, but they didn't want to kick him out. Thus, Kay Trump became the first American guest to visit the Liaoning after it entered service.

Fortunately, Li Xinghe was only on the deck with Kai, taking photos with the tourists.

Some Chinese tourists at the scene egged Li Xinghe on to sing a few songs, so Li Xinghe sang "Jasmine Flower" for them.

A photo of Li Xinghe and Kai was specially hung inside the Liaoning aircraft carrier as a kind of historical witness.

After touring the Liaoning aircraft carrier, Kai, who has no interest in military matters, finally found a moment of leisure.

"Grandpa told me to tell you, don't stop, keep fighting Vance."

Kai said this to Li Xinghe.

"what?"

Li Xinghe was taken aback at first, then understood.

If Trump doesn't stir up some trouble, then he's not Trump.

It now seems to have turned into a political conflict between Vance and Trump, a fight between the retired emperor and the new emperor that will continue until only one of them remains.

This seems to form a kind of contrasting reflection with the power conflict between Li Xinghe and Koizumi Shinjiro.

Then we fucked for an entire afternoon, until Kai complained, "It's all swollen, you're not allowed to ejaculate inside anymore," before it ended.

A day later, American media began criticizing Kay.

She spent the whole day eating, drinking, playing, and taking pictures. If you asked her what she had accomplished, she would stammer and couldn't say. After all, she hadn't even considered doing any business; it was purely a publicly funded trip, mainly to get fucked.

American media outlets have offered some sharp and sarcastic criticism of Kay Trump's publicly funded travel:

"They probably discussed a deal worth several hundred million more that night."

Self-media, especially those affiliated with democratic parties, were even more outrageous in their criticism:

"Using American taxpayers' money, sending batches of drugs thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean to be fucked."

But across the ocean, where Kay Trump is not, a brewing political storm is rapidly taking shape as Vance discovers that the Magas seem to be turning their backs on him.

Vance began intensively mobilizing the troops he could still command, and secretly encouraged himself:

"As long as we shut down Mar-a-Lago and take control of the Trump family, the Republican Party will have nothing to say about my decision."

Why is it that a lowly, shameless Asian scoundrel like Li Xinghe can thrive in Japan, boasting of being the little tyrant of East Asia by taking advantage of the times? Meanwhile, Vance, a renowned elite from an Ivy League school, has to rely on his father-in-law, his financial backers, and Trump's promotion to have stumbled his way to where he is today?

……

Within Tokyo, everything seemed calm and unchanged. The policewomen of Public Security Section 9 went to and from get off work as usual, laughing and joking, while Li Xinghe took Kai sightseeing in Tokyo every day.

Water, at night, swam and played on Kai's body.

However, outside the media spotlight, the takeoffs and landings of planes on the Reiwa artificial island were quite unusual.

A large number of South Korean special forces and armored vehicles, transported by transport planes with their flight markings removed, landed one after another at the short-runway airfield on Reiwa Artificial Island using South Korean air transport capabilities.

South Korean Special Forces Commander Su Woo-min personally selected elite troops to form a reinforcement force that would travel to Tokyo.

The South Korean soldiers, disembarking from the plane, saluted Lee Sung-ha, who had secretly come to greet them that night.

"Click-clack! Loyalty!"

The South Korean military does not consider itself a subordinate force.

After all, they were originally a vassal state of the US military, and the treatment of 50 South Korean soldiers was equivalent to that of one American soldier. Now, Li Xinghe has drastically improved their treatment, built housing, and implemented a contract soldier system with increased salaries, which is a great favor.

Throughout the entire park, the majority of the troops were Chinese, followed by Ukrainians, then North Koreans. The number of South Korean and North Korean soldiers was roughly the same, while on Japanese soil, there were almost no Japanese soldiers to be seen.

Therefore, the South Korean military actually sees itself as a noble existence, similar to an "occupying force," which can be seen as a spiritual revenge for Japan's deep-seated hatred of its invasion of Korea.

The special operations battalion commander in charge of leading the team even uttered some very immediate reflections:

"It is the greatest honor to serve Kaka!"

The atmosphere inside the park was somber and tense.

Just then, the planned peace visit came to an end, and the Liaoning aircraft carrier group had to urgently leave Tokyo.

The friends on the boat were all eager to leave, and they turned away without looking back, despite the pleas of their fellow villagers on the shore.

The brothers spent three days in Tokyo Bay watching not only the surging crowds of Chinese Tokyo board the ship to watch, but also Li Xinghe's troops fighting against the US military, the Self-Defense Forces, and various Japanese forces.

First came the Battle of Azuma Island, where Hu Zhantian and his men from the 1st Combined Division drove the Americans into the sea with their fists. Then they saw Li Xinghe's forces unusually filling the port camp. Next, something even more astonishing happened: Li Xinghe transferred a batch of armored forces from Seoul, along with South Korean special forces, and armed forces gathered from all over Japan were continuously converging on this park.

What kind of divine battle is this?

The Liaoning aircraft carrier group hurriedly left Tokyo Bay, and the crew members on board were covered in sweat.

"Let's go, let's go, is this still Japan? This is terrifying."

He Yang, Xiao Chu Zhang Da, Hu Zhantian, and others all scoffed at the idea.

"When in Tokyo doesn't someone get killed?"

It turns out that the more people are killed, the better the economy becomes.

The more incompetent rentiers are eliminated, the more good positions will be available for young people who want to develop.

Newly equipped South Korean-made K2 tanks and China North Industries-made VT4 tanks were put into service. South Korean-made artillery shells were put into service, and North Korean-made rocket launchers filled warehouses. A large group of eager wolf soldiers squatted at the port, ready to massacre Tokyo.

The most pressing issue for the entire army right now is the language and command barriers, which are similar to those in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Fortunately, Koizumi's side is also incredibly incompetent.

At this time, Koizumi Shinjiro, under immense pressure, spent the entire day drinking and partying before returning to discuss serious matters with Akiba Takeo:

“The National Security Bureau still has 110 senior officials. We can consider bringing in the Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner Yoshimi Ogata, and then use the strength of 3.5 police officers to keep Li Xinghe out of Tokyo.”

According to Japan's system, as Prime Minister, Shinjiro Koizumi was indeed the direct superior of the National Security Bureau, which in turn was the direct superior of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Therefore, even seemingly reasonable requests were accepted after Akiba Takeo's consideration.

The police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department seem to be the only armed force they can try to command.

The mutual harm between the United States and Japan continues.

Americans were shocked to discover: "Japan, you rebellious son!"

Li Xinghe certainly couldn't allow Japanese bond interest rates to rise. After all, Japan's debt problem was enormous; it might not be the world's largest, but it was undoubtedly among the top three. Therefore, without his instructions, Norinchu Bank took the lead, followed by Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui, and Mizuho Financial Group, all of which quickly sold off US Treasury bonds in order to recoup funds and protect Japanese bonds.

American financial capital is also fleeing en masse. They borrowed Japanese bonds to make money, but now that US stocks and bonds are in crisis, they have no choice but to sell Japanese bonds to raise funds and protect their assets.

You dump my Japanese debt, I'll dump your US debt.

Japanese bond yields surged, and US Treasury yields also surged.

It's like a suffocating game where you have to strangle the other person first to survive. To live, you have to strike first, and the other person has to create trouble in a spiral to survive as well.

It's not even a problem deliberately created by the authorities, but rather an inevitable result of the symbiotic financial relationship formed between Japan and the United States, this tangled, half-brother relationship, in the context of financial globalization.

Despite the dangerous situation, Vance said nothing.

But several major Japanese banks couldn't hold on any longer.

When several major banks hurriedly sent representatives to request an audience, Li Xinghe gave them instructions:

"We in Japan also need to survive by connecting with China. It's time to change our financial stance. Japan's five major banks are willing to provide basic liquidity guarantees for China's international financial and trade activities. The yen is part of the dollar, but it could also become part of the renminbi."

Representatives from major banks readily accepted the order.

This is actually an inevitable result of China's rise. It just needs someone to nod and make the final decision.

After financial globalization, Japan's choice after the bursting of the bubble economy was to become a concubine to the United States and the US dollar.

Japan has positioned itself as a fundamental financing platform for global finance, given that the yen has zero interest rates, is freely convertible, and allows foreign capital to freely flow in and out.

This is equivalent to Japan giving away a portion of its yen profits to foreign investors, thereby gaining global recognition of the yen as a base funding currency. Essentially, Japan is losing money to subsidize global borrowing of yen. Although it loses money, Japan's financial sector is able to extend its reach and profit globally. Furthermore, the Japanese government gains near-unlimited borrowing capacity.
