Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Large countries are rarely brought down by anti-nationalism because their domestic forces are inherently resilient and will naturally resist external influences. Small countries, however, are different. The entire European Union is widely influenced by the United States, which in turn uses this opportunity to indoctrinate Eastern European countries. This mutual constraint and ideological struggle could very well lead to the collapse of small countries and a reshaping of their national identity.

Although Japan is not a small country, it is not a normal country, but rather a region that is generally recognized as semi-capitalist, semi-feudal, and semi-colonial.

To paraphrase a famous line from the novel "The Great Western King," Li Xinghe's act of personally strangling Japanese nationalism and reshaping Japan is:

"I will kill you, but in doing so, I will save you!"

And that statement is the core theme of today's speech.

Abusing Japanese people is for the purpose of saving Japanese people.

The convertible continued its journey, and Li Xinghe's speech gradually became more detailed, promising the public future benefits.

At that moment, on the rooftop of a middle school building not far away, two beautiful girls were adjusting their sniper rifles.

My wife loves to hold up her binoculars and urge Taifeng on:

"Is this okay, Taifeng?"

While adjusting her sniper scope, Taihou Niizawa was filled with shame and anger, but as she scanned the crowd, she suddenly noticed an assassin hiding a weapon in the crowd.

"There's an assassin in the crowd! See that guy in the red hat?"

My wife immediately became anxious and urged me to hurry:

"Fire! Stop shooting Dad as planned, shoot the assassin!"

Niizawa Taihou gritted her teeth, changed her original plan, removed the blank rounds, and loaded live ammunition.

As the car turned and slowed down, the assassin in the crowd struck.

"I'll kill you!"

But just as the assassin drew his knife, a gunshot pierced his skull, showcasing the shooting potential of Shinsawa Taiho, the Olympic air rifle champion.

However, this assassin was just the tip of the iceberg.

Several more assassins rushed out, some carrying guns, others knives. These assassins, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, leaped out, only to be arrested and killed by secret security personnel within another group of people.

Amid the chaos, gunshots rang out. Taking advantage of the situation, Li Xinghe pierced the blood pack on his body, causing blood to flow out.

Seeing Li Xinghe injured, Lu Yuchi and Hua Yingmei instinctively rushed forward, letting out a scream:

"what!!!"

Even though she knew it was fake, she was still so nervous when she saw it that she couldn't breathe.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, it's fake, it's ketchup."

Li Xinghe hugged Hua Yingmei tightly and hurriedly comforted her.

Ayako Aso, who was standing nearby, also rushed over and, together with the security guards, pinned Li Xinghe to the car.

Screams, roars, and shouts filled the Yasukuni Shrine, creating a deafening din.

Li Xinghe poked his head out and asked Tsukishima Minamisa, who was in charge of the scene:

Where do these assassins come from?

"There are two Filipinos, one Australian, one American, and one Korean. It's a complete mess."

Li Xinghe instructed:

"Arrest him."

But he didn't leave. Instead, he told everyone to be quiet and continue his speech, speaking calmly until it got dark.

The Yasukuni-dai assassination case seems to have come to an end.

Upon hearing of Li Xinghe's assassination attempt, people from all countries and nations expressed their regret.

It's a pity they didn't kill him.

The meaning of regret varies from person to person.

However, this assassination attempt is inextricably linked to Li Xinghe's desire to "personally strangle the Japanese nation" and his struggle with the Philippines for control of the Batan Islands.

Intelligent people will realize:

The Great Purge has begun.

Chapter 728: Destroy the Yokota Base, Overthrow the Yokota Shogunate! (6300 words)

As dusk settled in front of the Yasukuni Shrine, Li Xinghe's supporters were moved to tears, marveling at Li Kaka's composure.

His face was covered in blood, and there were bloodstains that had seeped into his suit on his chest, but he was able to continue his speech until the end.

It's as if it can truly make people believe: "Abusing Japanese people is for the sake of loving Japanese people."

Photos of Li Xinghe with blood on his face are circulating widely online.

As soon as the speech ended, the audience rushed up with various medical supplies to wipe and stop the bleeding for Li Xinghe.

"Huh? What is that?"

Li Xinghe touched his face and felt it was sticky.

It was probably shrapnel, or even fragments of blank cartridges, or something that grazed his handsome cheek, causing an accidental abrasion.

"What do you mean, ketchup!"

Lu Yuchi Huayingmei was so angry she almost bit her teeth to pieces.

The doctor applied cotton gauze to Li Xinghe, carefully protecting Li Taige's face.

This face is Li Xinghe's greatest personal asset.

Then, Li Xinghe felt dizzy, and the others quickly helped him up.

Li Xinghe was helped away from the scene by everyone, and the photo was used as a reference.

Many people say that Li Xinghe was barely holding on until the very end of his speech, and almost fainted when he left the stage. Others say that Li Xinghe's life was already hanging by a thread, and he was just stubbornly holding on, otherwise he would have died once he stepped off the stage.

In any case, many people are starting to get restless.

……

The next day.

Nan Hao Nu, carrying her negotiation terms, arrived at the Royal Hospital with Natasha and Valeria. Guided by a special nurse, the three women arrived at Li Xinghe's ward, which was hidden in the innermost part of the room.

When they came in, only Li Xinghe was lying on the bed.

Li Xinghe told his family to live normal lives and not to show any signs of weakness to outsiders, so as to prevent bad news about him from spreading.

Nanhao excitedly presented her negotiation results:

"North Korea has agreed to send missile experts to cooperate with us in establishing the Japan-North Korea Missile Technology Research Institute. They will assist us in improving our existing missile production technology and have promised to help us develop defensive missiles capable of countering existing U.S. missiles."

It's hard to say whether this promise is good enough, because the United States' current offensive missiles are still the infamous JASM and Tomahawk missiles, expensive old parts that are ten or even twenty years behind the times. Defending against these wouldn't be too difficult.

However, in return, North Korea doesn't charge money.

General Kim is a kind-hearted man after all. This time, he doesn't want Li Xinghe's money. Instead, he hopes that Japan can lift financial restrictions on North Korea, open up some outsourcing imports and exports, and engineering construction, giving North Korea a chance to gradually integrate into the world economic and trade system.

With financial access mechanisms in place, North Korean state-owned enterprises could merge to form a North Korean concept stock, which could then be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange to raise funds. With these funds, they could take on outsourced projects or engineering work from Japan, and with these projects, they could expand industrial cooperation and even seek opportunities to upgrade certain industries.

North Korea has a long history of accepting outsourced work from Japan. Many Japanese anime and manga are now drawn in industrial parks in North Korea by North Korean artists.

Therefore, after consideration, Li Xinghe agreed to set up a North Korean concept stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and have a North Korean special envoy unveil it.

Whether this concept stock is safe or not is not important. Investors will weigh the pros and cons themselves. Generals need funds to operate the economy and maintain their economic credibility.

Soon, the news spread to the stock market.

As a semi-official television channel, NHK must convey Li Xinghe's intentions in its external statements.

Therefore, faced with many Japanese protesters who immediately react with anger and even want to fight North Koreans upon hearing the word "North Korea," especially anti-North Korea Christian groups in Japan, the only option was to speak kindly of them on the program.

"The Cabinet Secretary believes that Japan should spare no effort in advocating for freer and more open international trade, and when the United States raises its tariff stick, it should explore and unite with those countries and regions that we could not trade with in the past, and create new sources of economic activity."

The commentator stated:

"The dismantling of financial barriers between Japan and North Korea not only opens up new economic sources, but also contributes to the peace process in Northeast Asia."

This elaborate scheme sparked widespread discussion after the assassination attempt.

"Completely surrendered to the Communists?"

"He is getting closer and closer to the communist camp."

"Has he already found out that it was the Americans who assassinated him?"

American newspapers took a simpler approach, directly criticizing Li Xinghe for seeking treatment in desperation.

Their political message is that it wasn't President Vance who wanted to assassinate you; it was you who insisted on confronting the United States. As long as you kneel down, no one will dare to assassinate you.

To save his own life in an emergency, he even managed to pull off a North Korean-related stock deal. Li Xinghe, you're truly a genius.

Despite the criticism from American newspapers, American investors who came to Tokyo rushed to buy the stock, vying to send money to the general and hoping to get a share of the profits from this concept stock.

The prosperity of the Nikkei financial market seems to make Li Xinghe appear quite human.

But when Brother Li is being unethical, he truly is unethical.

As the assassination attempt unfolded, the Philippine and Australian embassies were placed under strict police blockade.

Police stated, "The suspect is likely a killer from the Philippines or Australia. We are currently investigating."

However, a fleet of black-painted BYD buses drove out of the back gate of the Aoyama Command Headquarters and headed to the compounds of various Japanese government departments. Tsukishima Minami, who got off the buses, led groups of police officers in black to visit and take away all the officials suspected of being involved in the case, or who were simply the bureaucrats that Li Xinghe wanted to get rid of.

These unlicensed vehicles were fearfully referred to as 'hearses'.

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency, the hearse has arrived."

In the Ministry of Finance compound, the finance officials were stunned.

Two black BYD buses were parked in the middle. Black-clad police officers got off the buses, carrying arrest warrants, and knocked on each door, leading everyone away like ghosts.

Hiroshi Shinkawa, the Vice-Minister of Finance, was also among those arrested.

He took off his glasses and exclaimed:

"Three years ago, four years ago, Japan wasn't like this."

At that time, Japan was in a state of utter despair. The Liberal Democratic Party was weak, all other parties were silent, the economy was in a mess, and everyone was trying to fix things up.

In just a few short years, the Tokyo tanker incident, the Japanese crisis, the Black Hawk Down incident, and the Special Higher Police assassins have all occurred in quick succession.

Now the Imperial Family is finished too.

The Liberal Democratic Party is finished too.

Among the new political forces, only Li Xinghe, with a large group of foreigners, was able to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the colonial government.

But despite the lament, survival is still a priority.

Therefore, facing Tsukishima Minamisa, who had come to claim his life, Shinkawa Hiroshi dutifully presented his letter of begging for mercy:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to retire and become a monk, and I am also willing to confess all those involved. But I only ask that Your Majesty not kill too many people. Officials are the foundation of the state and cannot be killed indiscriminately. Your Majesty, I am willing to offer you a strategy for governing the country."

Hiroshi Shinkawa delivered his ultimate, decisive blow:

"Order to abolish clan name and return to surname."

Tsukishima Minamisa raised an eyebrow and accepted it; she knew Li Xinghe definitely needed it.

This means they're going to make changes to Japanese surnames.

In short, as an aristocratic country that has long maintained many feudal traditions, Japan has preserved the old tradition of separating surnames from clan names because the aristocratic system has hardly diminished. In modern Japan, when registering a person's name, the clan name (氏) is used instead of the surname, and in fact, the family name derived from the clan name (氏) is used.

Common Japanese surnames, such as the well-known 'Minamoto', 'Taira', and 'Asomi', were all compiled and bestowed by the Japanese Imperial Family. From these surnames, various clan names were derived, and these clan names then spread and developed into surname characters. It wasn't until the Meiji Restoration that Japan issued the 'Surname Prohibition Edict,' which redefined surname characters as commonly used personal surnames.

Hiroshi Shinkawa suggested to Li Xinghe that they reorganize Japanese surnames, dig out the most original surnames, and reuse them.

The key here is that, given that most Japanese people don't actually have surnames, their surnames must be reorganized, and Japanese surnames are often just a single character. Using this single character, a new identity can be given to an ordinary Japanese person.

In their new identities, Japanese people's names were changed to a pattern similar to that of Chinese people, thus avoiding much cultural resistance.

In practice, many ancient Japanese nobles and samurai who didn't know their own surnames would simplify their family name into a single character as their surname. For example, the famous Ii family genealogy. Looking at the single-character surname alone, it's almost indistinguishable from that in China.

Therefore, Shinkawa Hiroshi's idea was to suggest that Li Xinghe take action against the Japanese household registration system, forcibly adding a single-character surname to Japanese people to facilitate a thorough cultural cleansing later.

……

Li Xinghe has not yet decided whether to adopt the order to abolish clan names and return surnames.
