Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Therefore, we should take this as the standard; we can go left, but we must never go right.

This marks the first time in recent years that Japanese media have blatantly displayed the words "militarism" on their cameras, telling the Japanese public why they collapsed. It's also the first time in decades that Japanese media have directly slapped the label of a defeated nation, a label they desperately want to shed, onto their own foreheads.

As the sun pierces through the clouds, early-shift workers take to the streets.

An ordinary workday.

On their busy commutes, people heading to their workplaces can't help but glance at the Yasukuni Shrine.

The former main hall has been completely demolished. Unidentified tanks, carrying tractor attachments, are repeatedly compacting the road surface, seemingly trying to flatten all the ruins below. Soldiers from a combined division, appearing out of nowhere, are pulling down torii gates and wooden doors while filling sandbags full of soil at various intersections.

Not far away, at the Imperial Palace, the traces of the massive bombing have disappeared, but the construction of fortifications and the excavation of nuclear defense facilities are still ongoing.

Tanaka Rui decided to build the tallest castle tower in Tokyo here, so the construction site was built with extraordinary luxury.

As ordinary people watched the rapidly changing Imperial Palace construction site, a sense of profound change in the world welled up inside them, and for a moment they were at a loss for words.

Young people passing by generally didn't pay any attention and continued with their ordinary lives; elementary and middle school students from the neighboring school lingered secretly at the intersection, seemingly both interested and afraid of the fully armed soldiers; military enthusiasts held up cameras to take pictures on the edge of the road, commenting on the data and actual advantages and disadvantages of the VT4 and K2 tanks, and were happy to have actually seen these two new main battle tanks with their own eyes.

Under Li Xinghe's repeated pursuit, far-right groups dared not show themselves easily anymore. On the other hand, the left-wing communist forces were happily waving anti-war flags and loitering near the Yasukuni Shrine ruins. They shouted slogans to overthrow "Hideki Tojo," and some even urged Li Xinghe to include "Emperor Showa" on the list of war criminals.

As the victors, the Ma family also came to work in Nagata-cho.

Chiyo looked with delight at the distant military construction site:

"The child won again."

Yes, Li Xinghe won again.

The complete dissolution of the Liberal Democratic Party can be seen as a reflection of a new political transformation in Japan. Chiyo Hina-ki was immensely proud of her son.

Mikasa didn't know how to describe it either:

"How should I put it... it's hard to explain, the only feeling is chaos."

As they entered the Ministry of Justice, people along the way bowed and scraped as if they were seeing a queen. Everyone knew that these two were Li Xinghe's mothers.

But when they turned around, the expressions on people's faces were also blank.

This emotion is extremely complex.

Do you think the average Japanese person doesn't understand how awkward Japan's political environment is? Actually, not necessarily. Many people know where the political red lines are. They can't praise war criminals from World War II, nor can they stand with the burgeoning communist movement. Japan is completely excluded from all matters related to justice, so they can only choose political apathy and avoid discussing politics in their daily lives.

This societal predicament of searching everywhere for a way out but finding none is the driving force behind the resurgence of the Japanese right wing. Having explored so many dead ends, they've discovered that the path of the right wing and the Emperor system seems the only viable option. However, they fail to realize that this seemingly viable path is a dead end that the Japanese right wing has repeatedly attempted under constant American interference.

Why Li Xinghe is always able to maintain his position is a question that many people have raised.

The sudden defection of Sanae Kaoshi and her group of far-right extremists to advocate for Li Xinghe's "coronation as king" is something many people don't understand.

When asked why she advocated for Li Xinghe to be crowned king, Sanae Takaichi suddenly became rational and, in an interview with a Yomiuri reporter that day, strongly defended Li Xinghe:

"Jian Xinghe can give the Japanese a different path. Yes, he can lead us down a different path. A second path. Japan will be a new Japan, you understand? A new nation that solves the problems caused by the defeat in World War II."

Japan's main problem was that it failed to thoroughly purge the remnants of imperialism after World War II. Germany, in fact, did the same, absorbing much of it back into its own fold. However, Germany's wisdom lay in its ability to bring Hitler's opponents to power, completing a cultural and institutional purge, and through a complete act of submission, erasing many of the stains Hitler had left on public opinion.

But not Japan. Japan has remained firmly under the control of those right-wing groups.

An incomplete revolution will result in deficiencies in the national system, and the many lingering problems left behind still harm society today.

How to cure it completely?

I used to want to go back to the Fascist Empire, but I found it was impossible; nobody liked me.

Now the only option is to turn around and commit seppuku decisively.

Japan must kneel deeply enough and undergo the most thorough reforms to be considered to have successfully atone for its sins. Therefore, the greatest atonement would be to appoint a person of Chinese descent as emperor and to place a person of Chinese descent in control of the central government. This would be done while the world economy is in chaos and disorder, and everyone is deeply distressed, leading to a complete political shift.

Japan has abandoned its long-standing national dignity, the Emperor system, and its so-called single ethnic identity. It is even dismantling and destroying the culture of the Yamato people, essentially committing suicide in front of you.

How is this kneeling posture?

Although it is very ugly, it can be considered a path of reform and renewal.

The collapse of the Liberal Democratic Party has proven that the old right-wing's "Long Live the Emperor" approach is unworkable. The Japanese Communist Party's decades-long continuous failures, coupled with the preservation of the Emperor system, also seem to prove that the JCP's path is doomed.

Today, even ordinary people feel helpless about the current situation, as seen in media reports and online discussions.

It seems that the only way is to follow in Li Xinghe's footsteps and be dragged along by him.

This may be the fundamental reason why, despite Li Xinghe's apparent vulnerability, few could truly stop him. The entire country is waiting for a political strongman to reverse its increasingly dire situation, regardless of whether that strongman is of Chinese descent or American citizenship.

Minato Ward in Tokyo, on the contrary, is unusually prosperous.

Yamato Keiko was also invited to prestigious banquets:

"Miss Ke'er, please get off the bus."

Many American financial groups are flocking to Tokyo, taking their vast sums of capital with them, intending to hide there until the turmoil in the United States subsides. Correspondingly, they have also turned to Li Xinghe's financial affiliates, such as Wu Yingke.

News of another large-scale purge in Tokyo gradually spread around the world, but it did not cause much of a stir.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry offered a scathing comment: "Not rebuilding the Yasukuni Shrine is the best way to express our stance."

South Korea and North Korea are celebrating nationwide.

The news of Ri Sung-ha's bloody cleanup of the WWII war criminals' latrine prompted both countries to send congratulatory telegrams, congratulating Japan on finally finding the right path. Cho Gu-hwan and Kim Jong-un also held a joint North-South Korean celebration at Panmunjom to further their peace plan.

People seem to have gotten used to Li Xinghe's repeated victories. He always manages to win, after all.

The Liaoning aircraft carrier group, having just sailed out of Tokyo Bay, lingered for a long time in the waters southwest of Tokyo, reluctant to leave. If it weren't for a scolding phone call from superiors, they would have crawled back to Tokyo. Not seeing the Yasukuni Shrine and Yushukan Museum trampled to pieces by VT4 tanks and engulfed in flames by 125mm smoothbore guns must have been incredibly frustrating.

The clouds and fog dispersed, seemingly to give Li Xinghe face, and Tokyo welcomed clear blue skies and fine weather.

Japan's traditional Golden Week holiday has begun, starting on April 29th, Showa Day, and continuing through Constitution Day, Greenery Day, and Children's Day. If you take three days off, you can enjoy a seven-day holiday.

Zhao Lieshu's home.

Zhao Lieshu, who had just finished applying makeup, sat leisurely by the window, opened Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), and posted selfies while chatting with her Korean female fans in the comments section.

In South Korea, a country rife with cult-like ideology, the pairing of Lee Sung-ha and Cho Yeol-sook attracted a large following, largely drawn to groups similar to the Unification Church and its fanatical leaders. Lee Sung-ha had countless female fans, and Cho Yeol-sook, with her gentle and virtuous image, garnered support from many Christians and female fans. Many felt that Cho Yeol-sook was a figure akin to a South Korean princess.

"Ah, what a rare moment of leisure."

Lee Ju-yeon skipped over and hugged Jo Yeol-sook from behind:

"Want to go to a hot spring? I've made a reservation at a place, just the two of us, the Maleki Squad, and the sisters from Section 9 of the Public Security Bureau."

With the start of the Golden Week holiday,

Tokyo residents fled the city as if escaping, heading to their respective hometowns, partly to relax and relieve their stress, and partly to see what Li Xinghe would do next.

Although there are still countless issues to resolve, Li Xinghe has already taken the lead in providing economic subsidies to the public:

"Go travel!"

Take advantage of the Golden Week holiday and go traveling!

Li Xinghe naturally started implementing the tourism subsidies that Yoshihide Suga had previously implemented.

However, Li Xinghe wasn't distributing subsidies. Instead, he was using Sally's shopping and food delivery platform to recommend travel options during Golden Week. He employed a powerful algorithm similar to Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) combined with mobile payments to provide Japanese people with a more convenient one-stop service for travel, ordering, tourism, and subsidies. For the entire Japanese population, this large-scale mobile payment travel subsidy was indeed a first, and many people, drawn by the novelty and convenience, followed Li Xinghe's approach.

Naturally, the realization of such a convenient and wonderful function is thanks to the introduction by Chinese programmers.

Once you're on Li Xinghe's path, it's hard to get off.

The anti-Li Xinghe faction still exists in many places, and they continue to publish anti-Li news:

"At least 5000 billion yen of Liberal Democratic Party assets were seized and confiscated by Li Xinghe. Arrest warrants have been issued for at least 10 people. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is in a state of panic, and local police officers are eager to prove their loyalty to the central government, and are now making arrests in large numbers..."

The content is pretty much the same.

This is yet another round of Li Xinghe's asset plundering of the conservatives.

Li Xinghe's core power structure is quite small, unlike the Liberal Democratic Party, a mobile party deeply entrenched in local communities and closely tied to agricultural cooperatives. While aggressively reaping assets, they still manage to leave some benefits for local areas. Therefore, the distribution of wealth from the central to the local levels is remarkably coordinated.

With the collapse of the agricultural cooperatives, the Liberal Democratic Party's momentum has waned.

Now is the era of Emperor Lee.

In Nagata-cho, Li Xinghe, Shika Michika Eimi, and Aso Ayako sat together to start working on a political reform policy.

Ayako Aso read aloud her reform program:

"Currently, I am considering revising Japan's unified curriculum guidelines, starting with textbooks, emphasizing the influence of the broader Chinese cultural sphere, and enhancing the sense of identity among immigrants."

When Japanese people can no longer give birth, new immigrants are replacing them, and naturally, a reshaping of national identity is also necessary.

The cheapest way to reshape textbooks is, of course, to revise them.

This is similar to the Democratic Party's actions of introducing illegal immigrants and altering the structure of the US labor force.

However, the difference lies in the fact that Li Xinghe's leadership in Japan abandoned the requirement for new immigrants to naturalize, and instead shifted to recognizing their identity. In other words, it changed from requiring them to be Japanese to allowing them to be residents of a broader Chinese cultural background. It shifted from the object identifying with the subject to the subject accompanying the object.

Li Xinghe pondered:

"Giving Japanese people more access to Chinese apps and encouraging them to use Chinese apps is also a viable approach. This includes apps like Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and even Tieba and Zhihu. We need to take over their lives in every way."

Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei tapped the table and leisurely sipped her tea.

"The next step is to amend the Japanese Constitution and redefine what Japan is."

If the period from the Meiji Restoration to the fall of the Showa era can be considered Japan's first empire, and the period from the Showa era to the Reiwa era can be considered the period of a de facto republic within the empire, then after Li Xinghe revised the constitution, it could almost be called Japan's third empire.

Constitutional amendment.

If the constitutional amendment is successful, powerful beasts like Li Xinghe, Shika Michi, and Hua Yingmei will truly enter the inner sanctum and become the masters of Japan.

Li Xinghe scratched his head:

"I still need to find out where Koizumi is hiding. Besides, the Liberal Democratic Party has been wiped out, but there are still many remnants. This round of battle started because ordinary bureaucrats colluded with the right wing and tried to obstruct our reforms. I won't let those bureaucrats get away with it either."

Basically, they're developing the economy while simultaneously killing people.

The more people you kill, the better the economy will be.

"Recently, many American financial groups have come to Japan and are buying up Japanese stocks at rock-bottom prices. Are we going to try to control them?"

"Hmm... let's leave it for now."

Safe-haven funds have entered the market.

For certain US capital groups, the Japanese yen serves as a highly effective safe-haven asset, such as those led by George Soros. Their operational strategies differ significantly from those of large asset management firms like BlackRock; they tend to move between the US, Japan, and South Korea, engaging in financial games through capital arbitrage.

The influx of this hot money into Japan is hardly a good thing, given Japan's advocacy for free financial flows and the rapid entry of hot money.

If this happens, it could easily lead to a tragedy like the 97 financial crisis.

Fortunately, Li Xinghe is not a member of the Liberal Democratic Party. Once this money comes in, it won't leave.

Just as the policy discussion was taking place, Ms. Katayama Mizuo hurriedly knocked on the door, revealing a beautiful and lovely woman with fair skin.

Kai, panting, found Li Xinghe:

"Xinghe, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has occurred!"

“My grandfather… my grandfather… he was imprisoned by Vance.”

……

5 month 1 day.

Pro-Vance Florida Liberal politicians secretly dispatched a group of police officers to surround Mar-a-Lago under cover of night.

Vance issued the order to replace the Secret Service security personnel around Trump, so the police took advantage of the time difference and easily stormed in to take Trump and his staff into custody.

Not only that, Vance also sent his vice president to send Donald Trump Jr. to Mar-a-Lago to keep his father company.

Nominally, it was an escort mission, but in reality, it was tantamount to exile.

This news sent shockwaves through the United States once again.

The arrest of the former president is a very rare moment in American history.

The Democrats' previous retaliatory attacks were merely aimed at putting Trump in jail. Vance, however, went directly to find a way to detain Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Ostensibly, it was to protect the former president's safety, but everyone knew it was actually because Vance was dissatisfied with the 'Trump Comeback Movement'.

Power is alluring, but also a deadly poison.

For a time, the whole world fell silent.

After all, no one wants to cause trouble for themselves. Vance's fighter jets continued to drop iron bombs recklessly over Mexico, leaving Mexicans angry but unable to speak out, and the Mexican government remained silent like a mute.
