Yes, Prime Minister of Japan
Page 767
As the soldiers slowly pulled back the black curtain covering the ground of the monument, Chinese characters and maps were revealed.
On the foundation of the Peace and Defeat Memorial is a map of World War II aggression centered on Japan.
However, what was marked on the map was not victory, but death.
"The Nanjing Massacre, the Jinan Massacre, the Lushun Massacre, the Pingdingshan Massacre, the Zhenjiang Massacre, the Fuxin Mass Grave... the Singapore Massacre, the Bataan Death March, the Malayan Massacre, the Philippine Massacre, the Road to Death in India... Unit 731, the cholera virus, the nighttime cherry blossom biological attack..."
Just seeing these scenes makes the old Japanese right wing feel like his blood vessels are about to explode.
Is this something I can write?
Is this something that can be engraved here?
This is not finished.
At the base of the Peace and Defeat Monument, golden bronze plaques simply and clearly mark the shameless acts committed by the Japanese militarist government, including the "extermination of the entire family."
"Tangxing women: The Japanese militarist government and the underworld secretly cooperated to send rural women to China and Southeast Asia, where Chinese and workers gathered, to be forced into prostitution. They used the money they squeezed from the Chinese to support their war of aggression against China. For decades, hundreds of thousands of Tangxing women died overseas, and no one cared. This is the prototype of the shameless militarist comfort women of World War II and the Japanese brides to the United States after the war."
"A nation without rice: The Japanese militarist government prohibited its citizens from eating rice, taking away almost all of the farmers' food, even wild vegetables, fish, and their dogs, to support their insane war."
"Cherry Blossom Special Attack: The militaristic government deceived its poor soldiers into attempting to reverse an inevitable defeat through senseless suicide attacks. The crisis created by militarists was distributed to ordinary people who benefited nothing."
"Military brainwashing..."
"A shameless and irresponsible government and parliament..."
"Bazaar Finance..."
More than one elderly right-winger in his seventies or eighties fainted on the spot after seeing this post, his blood pressure exploded.
But the tide of history rolls ever onward, and no one cares about the old men who have fainted in the memorial crowd; everyone is looking towards the future.
An order for a world-class aircraft carrier has given this future a glimmer of hope.
This seems to have reached a tacit understanding: Japan continues to move to the left, and China opens its doors.
The Japanese Armed Forces Self-Defense Forces stepped forward to present flowers.
"For everlasting peace!" Asuka Nagumo shouted the slogan along with the honor guard.
The Japanese National Police Agency presented flowers to the group.
"No more war." The policemen saluted.
Representatives from the coalition forces stepped forward to present flowers.
"The most enduring memorial."
But this is not the end.
Right across from the Peace and Defeat Memorial is the newly erected World War II Victory Memorial.
The most unsettling thing about the monument is a pair of large statues exuding a strong sense of homoeroticism: two men in Chinese and American military uniforms holding hands, bending a Japanese samurai sword into a flower, symbolizing their joint efforts to defeat militaristic Japan.
"One represents China, and the other represents the United States."
"The flower-shaped inscription on that Japanese sword represents the decline of militarism and the blossoming of a peaceful future."
Although the statue is very abstract and its meaning is even more outrageous, it happens to represent the most absolute political correctness at that time.
The United States is Japan's "adult father," while China is Japan's "biological father." Both countries were indeed victorious nations after Japan launched the Asia-Pacific War, and they signed the agreement on the deck of the USS Missouri in the order of first and second.
The Japanese are really speechless with Li Xinghe's antics.
Everyone quickly completed the ceremony in front of the monument and statues across the street, concluding today's anti-war commemoration.
After the main force left, the soldiers of the Combined Division opened the gates, allowing Japanese civilians outside to come in and visit.
The Peace Memorial Park will also open to the public at the same time.
Although this park was built with American money and is a hypothetical enemy base used by the US to counter China, you can tell I'm not wrong about its strong "red" (pro-American) overtones! It's incredibly intense, okay?
As for the right wing coming to cause trouble, the coalition soldiers welcomed it with open arms. They were itching to grab some right-wingers and give them a good beating.
The Japanese, who are generally politically apathetic, flocked in.
The main group consists of residents living in the nearby upscale neighborhood who want to experience the seaside park. The second group includes military enthusiasts who take photos inappropriately, left-wing communists, Chinese and Korean students, and certain oddballs who adhere to "Greater East Asia Diplomacy" and "China worship".
As Li Xinghe prepared to board the car for the return trip, reporters swarmed around him.
"Tell me about it!"
Is today's anti-war commemoration synchronized with the aircraft carrier order?
"Excuse me... which came first, the anti-war commemoration agreement or the aircraft carrier order?"
Despite having just placed the world's most extravagant and highest-priced order for an aircraft carrier, Li Xinghe adopted a very humble posture in front of numerous reporters:
"Japan should truly remember its history, reflect on the war, and become a neutral country. We have no other desire than to protect ourselves."
Regardless of whether they are truly neutral or not, the slogan has been shouted out.
The reporters also roughly understood why Li Xinghe was able to reach a series of cooperation agreements with China, a country that has always been very cautious about arms sales. This guy is someone who truly dares to etch Japan's war crimes onto Japanese soil.
Following the commemorative ceremony that caused a sensation throughout East Asia, a sudden piece of news was revealed by an unknown person:
"China has formally submitted its application to join the CPC/TPP organization."
"Japan's intention to approve China's accession to the CP/TPP means that markets in countries like Australia, Canada, and Mexico will open their doors to China, allowing the import of countless manufactured goods. This also means that smuggling routes between China and Canada, and between China and Mexico, may receive more tariff exemptions..."
The news shocked both China and Japan.
For the Japanese, such moments are actually of great significance.
The reason why the Japanese have long deceived their own people, using the excuse of bearing the ridiculously high prices, inefficient government, chaotic electoral system, and feudal aristocratic financial cliques, is that Japan, as the first and largest developed country in Asia, has a natural sense of superiority compared to other Asian countries.
If suddenly, this sense of superiority accumulated over hundreds of years is torn apart, and after peeling back the tattered skin, all that remains is the embarrassment of not being able to get enough to eat, and even China, which has always served as a self-comforting control group, has caught up and surpassed them, then the national soul of the Japanese people will be shattered.
But history, like a massive 100-ton truck, is heading straight for the place the Japanese fear most.
A man named Li Xinghe jumped out without hesitation, ruthlessly tearing away their fig leaf to cover their backsides, and telling them, no, you are not the most advanced and superior country in East Asia.
You are just a defeated nation.
From acknowledging a series of crimes committed during World War II to unveiling the World War II Memorial Square, two consecutive rounds of ideological attacks have demonstrated a profound shift in Japan's ideological foundation under Li Xinghe's leadership.
The public cannot comment on Li Xinghe.
Because they find it difficult to give a comprehensive definition of this person, and they are not capable of judging his series of governing policies.
If we were to apply the ancient system of posthumous titles, someone who is beyond popular comprehension would be considered a god, and Li Xinghe, regardless of his status, could be considered a god-like figure.
All they can say is:
"No one can stop Li Xinghe now."
The Japanese, who hit the jackpot, surprisingly refrained from discussing the newly opened war park online.
I don't know which Japanese artist is good at political satire, but they copied the gold seal of the King of Han-Wei Nu in the Osaka Museum and specially carved a new gold seal for Li Xinghe.
Its name is:
"The Seal of Li Xinghe, King of the Great Han Dynasty." (The rest of the text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and phrases, possibly from a machine translation error.)
"This is the golden seal of the King of Wa of the Great Han Dynasty, bestowed upon him by the Emperor Emeritus of the Celestial Empire. Our Taiko must be overjoyed, after all, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did the same thing in history, and I am just the second King of Japan, Taira Hideyoshi."
"I had to pay for it myself. When the Han Dynasty really sent tribute, the emperor would give it to us for free."
Meanwhile, an increasing number of Japanese people who genuinely support Li Xinghe launched a campaign of suppression against these individuals on behalf of the Imperial Rule Assistance Association:
"Only when you're treated like a dog do you feel entitled to have your owner bring you dog food for free. You've probably been treated like dogs for so long that you've forgotten you're human."
"Bullshit! The diplomatic relations between China and Japan are equal. It's the US-Japan diplomatic relations that are unequal!"
The debate over whether Li Xinghe was indeed the King of Wei of the Great Han Dynasty has escalated into a heated online argument.
……
By afternoon.
The Americans were furious. After staying up all night to assess that Li Xinghe had no intention of defecting to China but was instead pursuing regional strategic balancing, they immediately called Li Xinghe and ordered him to seriously reflect on what he was doing.
Li Xinghe calmly replied:
"They're paying protection money to avoid being torn to pieces by China and the Asian wolves. Because Japan is a defeated nation, this money has to be paid. Otherwise, look, South Korea doesn't have to pay protection money to China. Brother, Japan pays so much protection money to the US, do you really think it's because Japan loves America?"
I love it so much! Imagine two nuclear bombs hitting you on the head, and you'd be paying hundreds of billions of dollars in tribute every year.
The Pentagon does not consider the annual funding from Japan to be protection money. After all, it is protection money for democracy, so how can it be treated like that of a gangster?
General John Cage persisted:
"Why not give it to the United States? This is the most expensive international aircraft carrier order in the world! Only the United States is qualified to win this order!"
Li Xinghe rubbed his forehead:
"Even if I give you the aircraft carrier order, what can you sell me? The Enterprise in the dry dock? We all know that the United States has no aircraft carrier production capacity left, not even a little bit. If I get the US aircraft carrier license now, I might as well build it myself in Japan."
The United States has absolutely no military shipbuilding capacity left, so it can't use it for anything.
Even if Li Xinghe gave the United States a $100 billion deposit, would the United States really build an aircraft carrier for him? The United States doesn't have the same credibility as China. Australia spent $2500 billion to customize the Okus nuclear submarine, and there's still no news of construction starting. They're even extorting money from Australia to pay for the extension, otherwise they won't build it.
Okus has become Australia's Crying Death.
In a moment of desperation, General John Cage blurted out a brilliant line:
"Of course, we can't sell you the Enterprise; it's not for sale in the US. But just because we don't have the production capacity, are you going to refuse to place an order?"
"Forehead……"
Li Xinghe had to rack his brains to figure out the Americans' amazing logic.
He meant:
Even if I don't have the goods, are you just going to refuse to pay?
American, have you learned some rubbish logic?
Seemingly realizing there was something wrong with his statement, General John quickly changed the subject:
"Why are you only giving orders to Chinese people, no matter what?"
Does this kind of question, which is obvious, even need to be asked? Of course, it's because the United States basically has no defense capabilities in Northeast Asia. No troops, no fleet, no aircraft carriers, no missiles. In this state, I've already dismantled your ships for free and paid $20 billion for them. What more do you want from me?
"If you sell me the Eisenhower scrapping plan and allow me to restart the Nimitz and Eisenhower at a critical moment, I'll transfer $100 billion to the Pentagon right now. Give me the money now, will you or not?"
Give me...give me a hammer.
It's one thing for an old Nimitz to go out, but the Eisenhower can't go out again because the construction of the Enterprise, which is a one-to-one replacement for her, is still stuck at 95%. It's been several years and it still hasn't been completed. It's like a pile of shit that has been held in for 7 years. According to past history, it will have to be held in for at least another 5 years. In 5 years, the Eisenhower will have long been scrapped by the Americans.
Because American shipyards are really running out of money right now; if you want to sell goods, you need to have goods first.
General John Cage checked his pockets and found they were indeed empty, so he could only bite the bullet and say:
"At most, I'll allow you to restart the Nimitz. Also, I can give you the old Enterprise that I scrapped 17 years ago."
Li Xinghe rolled his eyes:
"Get lost. My phone's out of gas. If you don't have anything else, I'm hanging up."
You're kidding me.
The old Enterprise was completely dismantled into a pile of scrap metal. Although the main frame was still intact, the inside was completely destroyed and rendered unusable. Li Xinghe could spend a few hundred dollars to haul this junk back and dismantle it for scrap metal, but he would never consider it a $100 billion asset.
But the general was also in a dilemma; he had to give the White House an explanation.
Despite Vance's recent addiction to issuing directives and the US's decision to strategically shift its focus to the Philippines, temporarily ceasing its interference with Japan and Li Xinghe.
He threw a tantrum:
"No! We have to come up with something, no matter what, or I won't be able to explain it back home. You have to buy something!"
"Then what should I buy?"
"I... how about you buy some more F-35s? Lockheed Martin and Boeing can provide them right now."
Li Xinghe rubbed his forehead.
It's really not necessary.
The existing 42 F-35Bs are sufficient for the six light aircraft carriers to rotate; there is no need to develop more aging aircraft requiring maintenance. The most important thing now is to quickly put the new carrier-based aircraft program, which has been on the drawing board for half a year, into production. We need to use American aero engines, Japanese carrier-based aircraft assembly technology, and Chinese design, radar, and electronic warfare systems to quickly develop a fighter jet capable of taking off and fighting.
After much deliberation, we still have to give the United States a piece of cake.
Li Xinghe said:
"How about this? Boeing has the F-15EX production line and blueprints, right? I'll buy the F-15EX blueprints and announce that we're introducing an upgrade production line. Is that alright?"
