Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

However, the Pentagon personnel, having been granted entry, first sought to investigate General Jacqueline's numerous derelictions of duty.

Scarlett hurriedly called Li Xinghe for help.

Li Xinghe then complained:

"They're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me."

He personally negotiated with these people, while the Pentagon took advantage of the situation to manipulate public opinion and power, dismissing and retiring General Jacqueline.

After being asked to retire, Admiral Jacqueline was reassigned as the US-Japan Cooperation Ambassador and Senior Specialist for US Affairs at Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, specifically in charge of the maintenance and construction of this Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. In effect, she was completely dismissed and exiled.

However, her retirement benefits are very high, allowing her to travel freely throughout China.

If Li Xinghe's important barrier is removed, isn't the Pentagon afraid of angering him?

For this reason, General John Kane made a low-key internal announcement appointing Li Xinghe as the 'Commander-in-Chief of the US-Japan Joint Command,' which, according to rank, is equivalent to a five-star general in the United States.

Li Xinghe would point to his own nose and ask questions:

"Me, a five-star general?"

Yes, following the usual procedure, Li Xinghe would already be a five-star general.

However, the Pentagon knew it was outrageous, so it did not award him a rank. He remains a major general appointed by Vance and a colonel appointed by Trump.

In this magical world, anything is possible.

The intelligence and military departments in the United States are almost completely isolated and operate as independent entities. This allows them to access a wealth of resources when they need to cooperate, but they are completely helpless when they are in the dark.

The Pentagon is still unaware that Li Xinghe's so-called "Iron Wall System" is an imported Russian and Chinese air defense system, while Li Xinghe's men are still frantically filing down the national flag markings on the vehicles.

The Pentagon was also completely unaware of the extent to which Lee Sung-ha's collusion with North and South Korea had progressed.

In their traditional view, as long as they humble themselves and bestow favors, Li Xinghe will inevitably obey them. To this end, they even offered a retired nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as bait for Li Xinghe. The nuclear energy maintenance equipment alone would be enough to give Li Xinghe headaches for more than a decade.

So they set obstacles while simultaneously offering rewards.

Just as Vance imagined, the Pentagon shared the same view: if Li Xinghe dared to turn against the United States, the US would immediately withdraw its maintenance personnel, and the nuclear reactor of the old aircraft carrier under his control would crack open, creating a horrific accident in Tokyo Bay far worse than the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

This is another major reason why they requested that the Nimitz be placed in Tokyo Bay.

It sounds absurd, but when you think about how the Pentagon has been pushed to the brink by the Houthis, to the point that they directly search for 'Housey' on Twitter and Instagram, marking many foreigners' posts about Houthi locations in Yemen as Houthi military camps and bombing them extensively, it doesn't seem so bad.

This is a real practice of the US military when it has no intelligence left. The routine of the US military intelligence agency is to go online, search for Houthi armed locations, mark the posts found, and send planes to bomb them indiscriminately.

After the bombing was finished, they realized that they had bombed various residential houses, factories, and farms.

But since no one needs to take responsibility for this, the performance figures still need to be inflated.

This is the most authentic picture of the US military environment.

Afterwards, Jacqueline angrily packed her bags and took her generous retirement pension to Beijing for a trip.

Li Xinghe was invited to Li Daiyao, Li Juyan, and Zhao Lieshu's house for dinner.

This is a kung fu feast.

When Li Xinghe sat down at the dining table, his older and younger sisters suddenly handcuffed him to the chair, and Zhao Lieshu straddled his lap, saying with dissatisfaction:

"Listen carefully, this is an interrogation!"

Li Daiyao also wanted to interrogate Li Xinghe:

"You little brat, have you betrayed us and defected to the enemy?"

Because Li Xinghe has had too many interactions with the United States, his Chinese relatives are now causing trouble.

Faced with the four women's beautiful bodies, Li Xinghe was speechless and simply kissed Zhao Lieshu's wife's fragrant face first.

"Stop joking around, be serious! We're conducting a serious interrogation!"

As Zhao Lieshu said this, she kissed Li Xinghe.

"Be serious."

Li Daiyao and Li Juyan were playing around, and Xuan Zhihua's mother, curious and amused, joined in the silliness.

Li Xinghe had no choice but to explain:

"I want to acquire the Nimitz. I also want to take advantage of the US's deception to quickly restore this semi-retired old ship. I will simultaneously transmit the data stolen through 3D scanning back to China. How about that? Isn't that patriotic? Unlock it for me now."

The already comical interrogation quickly fizzled out.

Li Xinghe freed up his hands and brought up the important matter:

"Now that we have an aircraft carrier, it's time to start joint naval training between the two countries. Strictly speaking, it's the Maritime Self-Defense Force that is helping our navy train officers and soldiers."

"what?"

Li Xinghe countered:

"In terms of training and foundation, the training capabilities of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force here are not bad, but there are a lot of right-wing officers who are very annoying."

Where should I go for training?

That is of course the prestigious Etajima Naval Academy, a truly century-old naval academy.

Li Daiyao scratched her head in confusion:

"Indeed, I've heard that many of the current naval personnel are graduates of British universities. The speed of shipbuilding is much faster than the speed of talent development; many ships are already in service but still waiting for people. The promotion speed of those recruited through various channels is astonishing."

There's no other way. After all, it's naval construction starting from scratch. Going to Britain, a country with more generals than ships, to learn naval skills might sound like hell, but it's a legitimate, century-old naval powerhouse, truly skilled in officer training. You see, it's not just the British Navy that trains; even countries like Canada and Spain send naval officers there for short-term training to explore ways to improve their naval capabilities.

Some people even went to Türkiye to learn special operations.

From possessing aircraft carriers to building the world's largest navy, the rapid production of its industrial operations and the huge shortage of manpower are the structural contradictions that are causing great anxiety for the Chinese Navy at present.

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, at least, has a systematic training capability and is a typical representative of a century-old navy, allowing it to mass-produce troops according to its existing training system.

Lee Ju-yeon bit her brother's shoulder:

"Then how will you explain this to the United States?"

"Cooperation on one hand, confrontation on the other."

Li Xinghe wrote the letter by hand.

On the surface, you always have to put on a show.

Then no one in the house ate. The four women transformed into female demons, taking turns to devour Li Xinghe's essence. Li Xinghe was so pleased with himself that he didn't get up all night.

……

Li Xinghe's handwritten letter was converted into electronic data through secret channels and traveled swiftly along the cable in Haiti, appearing rapidly on the other side of the sea.

A certain political tacit understanding has been solidified once again.

A group of mysterious technicians traveled from Beijing to Tokyo.

In an instant, the familiar daily life in East Asia returned.

First, the Chinese Coast Guard and the Japan Coast Guard exchanged water cannons in the Batan Islands of the Philippines, arguing over who owns these small islands. Then, South Korea threatened to negotiate with China over the Socotra Rock issue. The South Korean and Chinese Coast Guards were driven away during the water cannon exchange. As usual, they began arguing with each other over territory, history, culture, and even inexplicable reasons.

Americans then felt that the world had suddenly returned to its familiar pattern.

They're more familiar with fighting each other when it comes to China, Japan, and South Korea.

However, on countless deep nights, among the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding employees who had already entered the shipyard to begin inspections and repairs, there was occasionally an extra person than usual, who installed various 3D scanning devices in places that the American personnel could not notice.

Instead of exposing him, employees at Mitsubishi Shipbuilding helped cover for him by building a wall outside and assisting American inspectors in conducting 3D scanning.

"Scan, right here... Start!"

"Has it started? Someone's coming soon."

"Send two men to stop them, we'll be there soon..."

"Stop him, the data will be ready soon..."

"It's so easy to sweep! It's so easy to sweep!"

The crew waged a guerrilla war against the Americans on the ship, taking advantage of the Americans' manpower shortage to scan for data and steal it back home.

Things are different now. We no longer need measuring tapes or surveying instruments to measure data. Instead, we need staff to manually collect data. Obtaining overall data for a ship is now extremely difficult.

We are now in the era of 3D scanning.

The so-called 'reconnaissance drones' that occasionally fly over the ship are actually specially designed spy drones used to conduct overall 3D scans of the ship's exterior. They fly around the Nimitz to enhance the data they acquire.

Inside the ship, several AR scanners were placed, and the 3D scanning directly collected all the data in this area into the database. When we returned to the site, we reconstructed a virtual Nimitz and studied it slowly.

Originally, American maintenance engineers would have kept a close watch on the maintenance manual for the Nimitz's nuclear reactor, and there were indeed dedicated U.S. military personnel who strictly monitored all kinds of maintenance engineering documents. In short, the documents were given to the shipyard, but the Japanese were not allowed to easily obtain them.

But Li Xinghe still had a way.

Miniature spy drones have arrived!

Ultra-small drones flew through the window cracks of the classified room, hanging upside down behind the curtains until the door was locked at night. Special-type drones, like spiders, used a master key to open the cabinets, while another began scanning the nuclear power maintenance manual, studying its intricacies.

Several tens of minutes later, when the Americans returned from their patrol, the drone immediately fled back to its charging station, and continued to secretly scan the area the next day.

Unbeknownst to them, a large amount of classified data, especially various data concerning the nuclear power components of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, was stolen and inexplicably appeared on the desks of relevant personnel at Mitsubishi Shipyard, Ulsan Hyundai Shipyard, and even Jiangnan and Dalian Shipyards.

As the culprit behind the leak, even the Americans couldn't have imagined that Li Xinghe could be so frantically and recklessly copying information, showing absolutely no mercy.

But for Li Xinghe, none of this mattered.

I've swept away all the ship data for you, stolen all the blueprints, stripped the headless female knight naked, and even copied the details of the nuclear power system and the maintenance manual!

Chapter 757: Japanese Flower Hand-Shaped Crank, the Traitorous Taiko (5200 words)

"Sayonara~"

At the entrance of Ochanomizu University, young and beautiful female students waved their white hands, bidding each other farewell.

Today marks the end of the second semester for Japanese high school seniors.

Ai Azuma and Tao Niizawa, already popular figures on campus, take photos with various friends.

After the second semester of senior year ends, students are already busy with their own futures, such as taking the college entrance exam or looking for a job. The third semester of the following year is just a formality, like a graduation ceremony.

"I really envy Xiao Ai and Tai Feng. They haven't even graduated yet, and Dongda University has already sent a working group to invite them." The female students were all envious.

As prominent alumni of the University of Tokyo and daughters of Japanese Prime Minister Lee Seong-ha, Ai Azuma and Tao Niizawa are now rising stars at various universities in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

After all, while the Taiko may remain silent, the various universities dare not remain silent.

You don't want Li Xinghe to hold you back on next year's budget, do you?

What? You're asking why the University of Tokyo didn't accept Hisahito?

Because the Imperial Family doesn't actually have much power.

My wife Ai and Tai Feng got into Ping Yingmei's car and went home with her stepmother, who teaches physical education.

As I passed by the school activity room, the junior and freshman girls were still swaying inside.

Stepping to peculiar drumbeats, the female students swayed their hands, sweating profusely...

A group of perfectly normal high school girls have been turned into little rattles in the after-school activity room.

The origin of the "flower hand shake" trend is quite simple. Fuji TV invited a group of Japanese idols of Chinese descent, whether they were of Chinese descent or born in China, to share the joys and sorrows of Chinese life with the audience. During the chat, a Japanese idol born in Changning, Shanghai, led everyone in a flower hand shake. The simple hand shaking and body swaying had a captivating charm, and the line of female shakers sparked a craze for the flower hand shake.

In a society like Japan, there are many inherent restrictions on women. For example, they can't work in fast food restaurants with many workers, and they can't do this or that.

New trends from China will help them break through these inherent social limitations.

Therefore, as the new curriculum is being revised, a new and peculiar lifestyle, jokingly referred to as the "Chinese style," has emerged among students and has been adopted.

He likes to use Chinese vocabulary in spoken language, pursues a free and unconventional lifestyle, reverses traditional serious honorifics and hierarchical distinctions, likes to eat Chinese food, goes to mala tang restaurants every day, likes to speak pseudo-Chinese to deceive the store manager into thinking he is Chinese, and has opened up a new path beyond the American chaos of drug use, parties, and nail gun pranks.

Whether it's performing hand gestures or eating spicy hot pot, for students, this is a channel to express their unique emotional needs, a way to break through the rules of Japanese society and stand out from the crowd.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner?"

Taifeng's inner conflict gradually melted away, and she would occasionally start calling out "Mom."

Ping Yingmei thought for a moment and said, "We'll probably be eating out tonight because the National Assembly is in session today, and none of them will be home."

"Oh~"

My wife Ai and Taifeng are a little troubled because there are quite a few younger siblings in the family, and they have to take turns taking care of the children at night.

As the car drove past the subway station, conservative social activists continued their criticism.

"The Flower-Shaking Hand is the return of the Nu Luo Quan Chinese gangster style!"
