Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Ultimately, their identity also had to be switched.

By the end of November, more than 30 million Japanese people had registered their online identities within seven days, and it is expected that nationwide ID card coverage and the promotion of new surnames will be completed within this year.

In particular, the issue of the couple having different surnames allowed Li Xinghe to gain 50% of the public's support in one fell swoop.

Lu Yuchi, Hua Yingmei, and others teased Li Xinghe:

"There will probably be more female soldiers and female special police officers. I guess they'll all be shouting 'I'll give my life to serve Li Taige!'"

11 month 30 day.

As the year draws to a close, the cold winter winds sweep across Japan's territory.

The storm of protests against citizenship IDs is slowly beginning to take shape.

Regardless, Japan is a rather conservative country. Li Xinghe was able to maintain control of the central government in Tokyo partly due to his combined divisions, and partly due to the compromises made by both the left and right wings of Japanese society.

However, this compromise harbors countless landmines. For example, the Japanese Communist Party doesn't particularly like Li Xinghe's colonial measures, but they remain silent only because of Japan's either-China or-US diplomatic environment and its historical sins. The Japanese right wing, on the other hand, dislikes the proactive changes brought about by Li Xinghe even more. They even call traditional squat toilets "Japanese-style toilets," so how could they allow Li Xinghe to arbitrarily change people's surnames?

With the ground filled with methane gas, a fire could easily explode, so it was quickly set ablaze.

Since the reform began, many articles with excessive comments have appeared online, covering all sorts of topics.

The Japanese, displaying their traditional skills, viewed Li Xinghe's method of registering his surname, hereditary name, and given name as the "first step of colonization," a "change of Japanese surname to Chinese surname," and an attempt at "ethnic and cultural cleansing."

That's true; that's exactly what Li Xinghe was thinking.

But Li Xinghe was furious when they started to collude, spread rumors online, teach others how to bypass identity verification, and even deliberately sabotage the government's next steps in national policy.

Large crowds once again gathered on the streets of Tokyo.

This time, the civilian activists opposing Li Xinghe were more organized, running away when the police arrived and gathering again after they left. They threw Molotov cocktails at government buildings and harassed the Sally Group's overseas offices, attempting to paralyze the ongoing policy of changing one's ethnic name to one's surname.

"7000 million people chose to submit, but 5000 million remain loyal to the Kazuki spirit!"

"Oppose dictatorship!"

"Oppose colonization! Oppose changing surnames to Han surnames and abandoning the surname He!"

"Reject the prison of the entire population! Reject the national ID!"

"Oppose! We're definitely against it!"

The crowd of protesters were all masked. They wore black hats, black masks, windbreakers, and sneakers, along with classic weapons such as pepper spray, stun guns, and Molotov cocktails, their large backpacks stuffed with weapons of the struggle.

Such a classic combat configuration might have fooled other viewers 20 years ago, and might have caused some commotion 10 years ago, but in 2029, if you still can't figure out where they came from, it would be an insult to your intelligence.

Although their numbers are small, they seem to be trying to create large-scale disturbances in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, and Kyushu, disrupting social production and life and causing trouble for Li Xinghe until he abandons the colonization measures.

If it really comes to the point where Li Xinghe gives up, then they will have to start pushing the towers, attacking and crushing the colonial ruler Li Xinghe.

Tsukishima Minamisa, the head of the First Investigation Division of the Cabinet Affairs Department, nicknamed "Li Xinghe's Shadow," led a large number of Cabinet Special Forces to block the gates of Nagata-cho, and couldn't help but sigh:

"These people have finally realized what's happening."

Those traditional anti-Li right-wing groups in Japan have finally found an opportunity to align themselves with foreign interventionist forces. This time, however, the CIA, controlled by Li Xinghe, is unable to provide timely feedback, because the perpetrators are most likely not from the CIA.

Upstairs in the Cabinet building, Li Xinghe looked at the protesters who gathered there every day, but were now more violent and agitated, and he deeply felt the helplessness that other countries faced when confronted with color revolutions.

"They're coming on strong."

Behind him, Ayman, lying on the sofa, shook his head:

"This means that the number of US intelligence agencies that want to target you is gradually increasing."

Li Xinghe curled his lip, disdainful of these petty tricks:

"But they're also afraid I'll really lead Japan to defect. To put it simply, if they had actually managed to pull out two carrier battle groups to cause me trouble a few months ago, I might have had to step down in disgrace or forcibly seek reinforcements. If it had been October, without finding a way to buy the Tokyo Iron Wall, I would have had to leave too. Now they can only incite some professional street color revolutionaries to cause trouble, which is really ridiculous."

In the days leading up to Li Xinghe's sudden coup, the United States still supported his actions. After all, President Vance genuinely believed that once Li Xinghe came to power, the dirt he possessed would be enough to force Li Xinghe to pay $1-2 trillion for recognition of his position.

This wishful thinking gave the US time to allow Li Xinghe to develop and create a disruptive moment. When they realized their wishful thinking was not much different from Trump's, they could only break down and send some idiots to cause trouble.

The United States has yet to detect what Li Xinghe calls the "Tokyo Iron Wall," an air defense barrier built using the defense systems of multiple countries, which is quite ironic.

"Can you withstand this wave?"

Lin Mulan, holding a cup of tea, leaned closer and asked a question out of curiosity.

"of course."

Li Xinghe didn't think these old-fashioned color revolution methods were useful.

The United States is actually a country that really likes to try to achieve things by climbing trees.

Or rather, the economic foundations and political status of countries around the world are often mismatched, and the United States, as the leading power after the Cold War, is the most immersed in this situation and the least willing to open its eyes to recognize it.

Just like Japan and South Korea.

In the spectrum of relationships with the United States, Japan is seen as a spoiled son who came from nowhere, while South Korea is seen as a stray dog ​​that came from nowhere. This clear political distinction between father and son and dog determines that the United States gives Japan whatever it wants, while South Korea often has to rely on its own efforts.

For example, Japan has an F-35 production line, capable of producing almost everything domestically except for the engines, and is even a crucial part of the entire aircraft production supply chain. South Korea, on the other hand, does not enjoy such favorable conditions. Furthermore, Japan has the capability to produce enriched uranium, while South Korea has faced continuous US sanctions for its attempts to acquire nuclear weapons.

For the United States, Japan, with its weak military, is a good son that can be entrusted with the task of governing Southeast Asia and the CCP/TPP organization; while South Korea, with its military strength on par with North Korea and its industrial and shipbuilding capabilities, is only fit to lick Japan's boots.

However, Higashikawa Yukami, who brought the documents into the house, did not think so.

She waved the document:

"But in any case, the public has been stirred up. And it's done through legitimate channels. Even the non-profit organizations and general international departments that instigated them are part of the Japanese government's control."

For example, the Asian Freedom and Democracy Association, which Li Xinghe once manipulated, still harbored a large number of cockroach egg cases even after eradicating some of the Mongolian and Tibetan separatist groups within it. Various US intelligence agencies have their own NGOs they can contact, and in Japan, where NGO operations are not yet restricted, they can act very swiftly.

Li Xinghe

"If you ask me, Erdogan is the one who knows best how to control this system. But I also have ways that Erdogan can't do."

That is to launch a counterattack against America!

Erdogan, under pressure from the United States, can only choose to endure, but Li Xinghe has the United States by the throat.

Since the US intelligence system wants to take advantage of Japan and incite the public against Li, Li Xinghe will not be polite and will fight back.

Higashikawa Yukami rubbed her forehead:

"You can't do anything reckless. You know how wary and controlling the US is of you right now. They're just inciting these people to cause you trouble."

"Of course I won't do anything reckless."

Li Xinghe pointed to the clock, picked up the phone, and asked the secretary's office outside:

"How are preparations going for the H-3A rocket launch at Tanegashima?"

After Takajo went to contact and inquire, he returned and said:

"We can begin launch now."

Japan's H-series rockets were developed using rocket technology transferred from the United States, which was considered quite advanced technology at the time. Japan later developed several models based on this technology and launched multiple satellites.

Although it uses liquid fuel technology that is not easy to modify into intercontinental ballistic missiles, North Korea actually has similar technology if it wanted to. The missile technology they taught to Iran and the Houthis is based on liquid fuel.

However, Li Xinghe does not need it for the time being, nor can he afford the exorbitant modification fee that would satisfy General Jin.

"emission!"

In the darkness, a rocket soars into the sky from the Tanegashima rocket base, heading towards the coast of the Pacific Ocean.

Shortly afterward, the rocket released a satellite high in the sky, which then disintegrated and fell into the Pacific Ocean.

"Success!"

The news media were filled with jubilation.

If we disregard the ongoing push to change surnames to Chinese, Japan, under Li Xinghe's leadership, has had a year of rapid progress.

Li Xinghe also needs to release intelligence to the outside world:

"We want to tell the outside world that we have plans to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of over 1 kilometers, which can attack Washington from Tokyo."

"Huh? So direct?"

"Yes, it's that straightforward."

Everyone was even more shocked.

The message was released to the public through third parties, especially through social media, warning the United States not to provoke Li Xinghe any further.

Different countries in the United States have different attitudes toward Li Xinghe.

The Pentagon quickly tried to appease him, the White House remained noncommittal, and the intelligence agencies slightly backed down, cutting off the NGO organization's funding to the group causing trouble in Tokyo.

Li Xinghe is still troubled:

"The most important thing in East Asia is still the situation across the Taiwan Strait."

He paced back and forth in front of the window:

"Taiwan Strait, Taiwan Strait..."

……

Histi Island.

The peacekeeping government's rule was very effective; in less than a year, it basically solved Haiti's famine problem and ensured that Haitians had enough to eat.

As for what to eat, don't ask.

Of course, it's leftovers dug out from various expired goods in China, Japan, and South Korea. So, for Haitians, eating is like opening a blind box; it might be good food, or it might be rotten maggots, but at least there's something to eat.

As for the Haitian government, of course, it hasn't been able to rebuild for a long time.

Instead of being rebuilt, Haiti essentially became a paradise for American adventurers and smugglers.

Meanwhile, He Xianzhe, who is in charge of the security of the entire island nation, meets He Yang, who has just escorted a batch of supplies and is on a mission.

The two of them started making hot pot at home. While drinking tea, He Yang asked:

"Musk, where is that guy hiding now?"

Musk, who has had children, served in Trump's cabinet, and was squeezed out of the core power circle in 100 days, is now hiding everywhere, fearing that he will be killed one day.

He Xianzhe laughed heartily and waved his hand:

"Musk, he's still trying to build his transhumanist technological autonomous cities. And it's not just him; in recent years, many wealthy Americans have been spending money to buy autonomous towns and turn them into their own bases. You should know that people are saying that this is a step backward from 130 years ago."

The creation of a free city-state, free from state interference, where corporate leaders set the laws and rule arbitrarily, has always been a coveted goal of right-wing capitalists in Silicon Valley. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the preceding sentences.)

Long ago, this group had attempted to establish a free and lawless town in Central America, but unfortunately, they failed.

Meanwhile, the rise of politicians like Millais in Argentina and Donald Trump in the United States, who were supported and promoted to the top by engaging in far-right populism, is also a means for right-wing capitalists in Silicon Valley to achieve their own goals.

They want to become more powerful world leaders.

I want to become a cyberpunk enterprise and control the nation.

130 years ago, during the period of rapid capitalist development in the United States, large capitalists not only controlled factories but also had factory guards, machine gun strongholds, and judicial connections, essentially turning factory towns into their own personal fiefdoms. The Republican-era investigative literature "The Bonded Laborer," familiar to many, serves as a textbook depicting the horrific darkness of society, and its reality in America at that time was not far off.

The rest is history. The communist movement flourished, World War I created the Soviet Union, the Communist Party of the United States was founded after the war, and after a century of rampant capitalist tyranny, America encountered the Great Depression. Just as America was on the verge of Nazism, a super-great man, Roosevelt, suddenly emerged and used remarkably socialist methods to change the decline of the United States.

What Americans may not know or care about is that after slightly curbing their exploitation, American capitalists moved their ruthless methods to South America to continue their oppression. And as times changed, they shifted to relentlessly exploiting illegal immigrants. They always had to extract something to support their capitalist masters.

Hearing these words, He Yang couldn't understand:

"That's...that's too crazy!"

He Yang found it hard to imagine that an autonomous city-state without a national constitution, filled with monopolies by large capital enterprises, where everything from laws to businesses is owned by large corporations, and even the jobs of residents, could actually jump out of a game and into reality.

Ha Heon-cheol, on the other hand, could somewhat sense the surreal state of affairs in the Americas:

"Our current situation is actually quite similar. You see, we use new laws and regulations to bind Haitians to different grid villages, while Port-au-Prince has become a paradise for adventurers. It's not much different. The United States is such a ridiculous place. Silicon Valley tech capitalists talk about transhumanism, but in reality, they want to build a garden where they can control the laws at will."

He was a military academy graduate with a master's degree, so he had a better understanding of American social trends, and thus explained:

"The academic elites are even more amazing. They created this peculiar theory of 'effective altruism,' which claims that we should earn more money and then donate more money to fulfill our social responsibility. In reality, it's just a shameless replication of trickle-down economics. When cryptocurrencies collapsed, these people participated. Luigi, who assassinated the head of social security, was also a believer in effective altruism, but he hoped to awaken the rich through assassination and get them to share their money, thus completing the theoretical cycle of effective altruism."

He Yang scoffed and asked:

"Do you believe it? Transhumanism... effective altruism..."

He Xianzhe burst into laughter, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"If you ask me, that's bullshit."

He Yang quoted a classic line:
