Yes, Prime Minister of Japan
Page 772
Expanding employment opportunities for women and preparing for subsidies for reproductive health supplies.
Since women are to receive material subsidies, retired elderly people can also receive more material subsidies by deducting their pensions.
Public opinion has become accustomed to this.
This really is all-encompassing, controlling everything from the brain to the genitals.
It's hard for young Japanese people, and even for those in Japanese academia, to imagine.
Just look at his criminal record. Li Xinghe, who grew up in California and Vancouver, a land where liberalism flourishes, is a popular character with rare skins, a brilliant resume, and verifiable achievements. Yet, after taking office, he is shaping a patriarchal government that is the most typical, traditional, and even reassuring to the Japanese, in the East Asian Confucian style.
This is about supplementing what's lacking.
Traditional Japanese cultural figures attribute Li Xinghe's 180-degree transformation to his family traditions:
"It must be the family's excellent traditions that influenced him!"
The Christian Church believes that:
"It was three mothers who gave him a saintly redemption."
Everyone selectively forgot the family's famous traditions and the rumors about the two children's origins.
The general public, on the other hand, feels:
"I feel very safe and secure."
Japan definitely needs a "daddy" to keep things in check; it's long overdue for intervention.
At this time, news of conscription also spread:
"The coalition forces have officially expanded and have begun recruiting new soldiers."
The Japanese man gave a wry smile.
Haha, I'm not going.
……
Tokyo, Ichigani Town, Joint Operations Command Headquarters.
The members of Maliki's squad, who had come from the Qingshan Command, officially entered the Allied Forces Operations Headquarters.
The generals who were already seated all stood up.
"Ms. Aiman."
"Mrs. Eman".
“Ms. Maria, Ms. Lin Mulan…”
Outside, Hua Yingmei is addressed as the Prime Minister's wife, but here, Aiman is the more legitimate mistress. After all, everyone understands the importance of the Qingshan Command.
The "two mountains" system of Qingshan and Longshan has been operating stably to this day.
Now, this place is filled with representatives from the Japanese Joint Operations Headquarters, the South Korean military, the U.S. Army's Maleki Squad, as well as Lee Sung-ha and many key figures from the Allied Forces.
This is the massive expansion of the coalition forces.
Lin Youzi and her staff produced a draft plan for the operation to go to Southeast Asia.
"Our plan is as follows..."
Regarding this plan, Maria raised her hand, stating her opinion:
“Attacks on islands would be good, but Japan is particularly lacking in amphibious landing equipment.”
Small-scale operation targeting Koreans: Mei Youyou wants to sing to you, empty, Lin Zai Zai is not here...
"Don't the Koreans have a ton of small boats? Just buy them from the Koreans. Their Dokdo-class amphibious assault ships are always ridiculed as being used only for concerts, so borrow them for a while."
Hyundai Shipyard in South Korea is perhaps one of the shipyards in the free world most eager to promote its products. Whether it's building frigates for the Philippines and Indonesia, or marketing its small frigate program worldwide, Hyundai Shipyard is going all out. Numerous ship models have been produced, but orders are few and far between.
Now, under Li Xinghe's leadership, Vance has entrusted them with the construction of US Navy destroyers (although they are still Arleigh Burke 2A rebadged ships) and so-called 'near-shore firepower delivery ships', and they are building them at an even more frantic pace.
Even South Koreans know that producing five guided-missile destroyers a year is their main business, and battleships are, in a sense, just fireworks toys prepared for President Vance. But the Pentagon thinks so too.
Therefore, the Pentagon didn't even bother with the so-called battleship construction plan; it was just a big toy for the president, and they readily provided the funding.
But this doesn't apply to guided-missile destroyers; the Pentagon has to review each one to ensure the plans are under its control.
The South Korean military representative, Deputy Chief of Staff Hwang Ryusei, wiped his sweat and kept complaining:
"Damn it, those Americans are really eating shit, they're so bad at building ships."
Everyone laughed.
It's common knowledge that the US military industry emphasizes fairness and impartiality. Just because your shipyard is in South Korea, does that mean the American bigwigs can't reach out for bribes?
nonexistent.
If someone wants to mess with you or make money, there are a million ways to do it.
When the Vance Shipbuilding Act was signed, the Pentagon immediately demanded that South Korea hand over the blueprints for their Arleigh Burke I-2A replica and require comprehensive modifications. These modifications have dragged on for months, with no further developments to date. The South Koreans can only lay the keel while cursing the Siege of the I-8, and then focus their main efforts on replicating the battleship. Of the ten dry docks at the Ulsan Hyundai Shipyard, five that were originally freed up by the Americans are now being used for battleship construction in three, and merchant ship repairs in two.
But that wasn't the end of it. As the U.S. Navy's Naval Bureau began scribbles and modifications on the blueprints, the South Korean shipbuilding suppliers faced their doom. The Naval Bureau directly designated suppliers, forbidding South Korean shipyards from making their own procurements. Otherwise, acceptance would be refused.
Staff Officer Huang poured out his grievances:
"Our domestically built Sejong the Great-class destroyers cost $12-15 billion each, and at least we can get them off the production line, so we can do it even at a loss. But the Americans are demanding that we purchase many of their products, such as those outdated clotheslines, the MK41 missile vertical launch system which is in extremely short production capacity, and even shipboard piping and a controller switch—they want us to buy from designated American suppliers! Damn it, now even $30 billion isn't enough. Our estimated costs have already reached $40 billion."
Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to swallow. Earning money from the U.S. Navy is like eating freshly excreted shit from Americans.
The Italian Fincantieri Group, which builds constellation-level projects, has already learned this lesson well; Hyundai Group is just the second culprit.
Upon hearing this, Li Xinghe did some quick calculations and was astonished:
"$4 billion to build an Arleigh Burke IIA. If you know it, you'll know the US military is building warships. If you don't, you'll think they're wasting money."
That's outrageous. $4 billion? I suggest they go to the Dalian Shipyard in China and order four 40-ton Type 055 destroyers.
Even the Shinano, which Li Xinghe ordered to start construction, was estimated to cost only 30 billion.
However, Li Xinghe has recently been doing a lot of things that involve giving away money.
Therefore, he was ridiculed by everyone.
Aiman raised an eyebrow and pointed out Li Xinghe's mistake:
"Didn't you also spend $100 billion to buy a piecemeal ship that's still being assembled?"
Jill's mischievous smile:
"They even spent a lot of money to tow the Nimitz home."
Scarlett gave a more practical example:
"Buying an F-15-EX for $100 billion, you seem to be the world's number one, number two, and number three biggest suckers."
Enraged and humiliated, Li Xinghe stood up in anger:
"Uh...I...I think you guys need a good beating!"
The women scattered and fled, completely disregarding the situation.
"puff……"
Everyone couldn't hold back anymore and covered their mouths to laugh.
However, no one thinks Li Xinghe likes to spend money recklessly. Looking at Li Xinghe's government financial management, he has always been cutting budgets through physical means and eliminating a large number of stakeholders. Now the fiscal expenditure is much healthier.
That being said, several people were discussing the root cause of this problem:
"Back then, Mike Waltz came to South Korea and Japan to study the shipbuilding industry and made the assessment that 'the shipbuilding industry of Japan and South Korea is in the 21st century, while the shipbuilding industry of the United States is in the 1930s.' Who could have imagined that our projected production capacity of five destroyers a year would be dragged down to this extent by the US Navy."
Mike Walz, the former U.S. National Security Advisor, is the unfortunate fellow who contributed the classic "Fist of America" meme by mistakenly hiring the deputy editor of The Atlantic. When he visited the shipbuilding industries of Japan and South Korea, he was a Florida congressman, and then, as a member of the Florida clique, he was promoted by Trump.
Within a few months, he was marginalized, not because of "Fist of the United States," but because a young Maga went to the White House to complain to the emperor, because he actually had the phone number of the deputy editor of The Atlantic.
The Atlantic, a far-left print media in Trump's eyes—why would Walz have their contact information? Was he plotting a rebellion?
Loyalty that is not absolute is, in fact, absolute disloyalty.
Even if the U.S. Navy faces a situation in 2030 where the Ticonderoga-class cruisers have completely collapsed, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are constantly in production difficulties, and the Littoral Combat Ships and the old Nimitz-class destroyers are being retired one after another, the Pentagon will still adhere to the principle of making money first and the United States second, and will try to squeeze out profits from the shipbuilding contracts undertaken by South Korea no matter what.
South Korean shipyards boasted that they could build five Aegis-equipped ships a year, while the Pentagon seemed to think, "What's wrong with one ship every five years, as long as we make money?"
This is a classic example of 'giving you a chance but you still can't use it.' Lee Sung-ha's statement that he would allow Hyundai to build ships for the US military has been a source of resentment among the Chinese public for a long time. They all felt that if South Korea built ships, it would definitely help the US military make up for many of its shortcomings.
But the reality is that the Pentagon’s Naval Shipbuilding Bureau, Lockheed Martin, Newport News Shipbuilding, and numerous naval parts suppliers always have a million ways to drag the seemingly fast and normal shipbuilding industry to the brink of collapse.
If he doesn't take it, and I don't take it, are we supposed to starve?
After a series of earnest talks, South Korea decided to contribute its 7th Mobile Fleet to support Lee Sung-ha's "Dragon Soars 10,000 Miles" plan.
Regarding who would lead the beach assault and how to form a Taiwan unification army, Xiao Chu Zhang offered a major suggestion:
“We can recruit Taiwanese aboriginals to prepare for landing on the island. The various indigenous groups in Taiwan’s mountains generally dislike the pro-independence government. Moreover, the residents on the islands in the Philippines speak the same language as the aboriginals and are considered family, so they are worth using as a stepping stone for further development.”
After the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) could no longer choose the Republic of China narrative, it secretly turned to the indigenous narrative. However, as is well known, the conflict between the indigenous peoples of Taiwan and the native Han Chinese is deep-seated, so the indigenous people are more pro-communist and pro-unification (and for the same reason, pro-Japanese).
After the General Staff confirmed it, they began to discuss it again:
"That's a good thing. Next, we need to discuss what to do if the Philippines, the US forces stationed in the Philippines, and the US forces stationed in South Korea start creating friction under any pretext once we actually launch the operation to clip the wings of our overseas islands?"
To be realistic, the US military has plans for the Taiwan Strait conflict, ranging from defending Taiwan to anti-communist landing operations in the Philippines. Li Xinghe also needs to plan more extensively.
Many things cannot be won in one battle; the clash of swords and the fighting can last a long time.
Jill suddenly clapped her hands, raised her finger, and proposed:
"You could also recruit Americans."
These words shocked everyone like a thunderbolt.
Recruiting Americans to fight for China?
"Why are you so surprised? You should know that there are at least tens of thousands of unfortunate American soldiers running around in East Asia at this time."
They would definitely be willing to join Li Xinghe's army.
Although Li Xinghe paid the US military a relatively small amount compared to the Pentagon's standard, he was able to actually deposit the money into their bank accounts and provide comfortable food, accommodation, and working conditions. This was an advantage that the increasingly disorganized US military could not offer.
It doesn't matter who you serve.
Moreover, many US soldiers do not even have US citizenship.
He Yang's wicked suggestion:
"It would also allow the US military to storm the beach and launch a preemptive attack; the islanders would absolutely not dare to resist. I doubt the Filipinos would dare to attack them either?"
Imagine the American troops charging ashore with the Chinese national flag waving – that would be such a beautiful sight.
But upon closer reflection, ah, it makes perfect sense.
This may also be one aspect of the empire's demise.
Chapter 778: The Dragon Soars Ten Thousand Miles, Here's Your RMB (4600 words)
"Hey friends, starting from 35 yen after tax, all-inclusive (Chinese chef), field work allowance, island stationing allowance, Navy exclusive, Chinese citizenship required, expected monthly income over 50 yen, job involves stationing on an island and playing on your phone, anyone interested?"
In the first year and the first month of 2030, Jill posted a recruitment advertisement on her WeChat Moments.
The following day, former white sailors eager for naval jobs flooded the gates of the Qingshan Command Headquarters. A number of burly men and white women even fought like stray dogs outside, requiring North Korean agents to separate them. These days, jobs are hard to find; everyone wants such a good job.
In fact, if it weren't for the inconvenience of sending North Korean soldiers, Li Xinghe would have preferred to send them. After all, American soldiers are very expensive.
"Report the serial numbers in order!"
After a well-organized process, this newly formed force, which used old U.S. military inventory and had a total strength of 2800, took shape at the Qingshan Command Headquarters. It was a brigade by rank and divided into four combat battalions.
Captain Scarlett O'Hara, the red-haired witch in charge of the entire plan (bored after giving birth), and several US military generals were stationed on site, watching over the team.
"Have you chosen a name yet?"
"Let's call it the Han Guang Volunteer Army."
Scarlett bit her lip, trying hard to suppress the smile she couldn't hold back.
As the number one troll in East Asia, Li Xinghe emphasized that this unit should ensure that everyone has a Han surname, wears Chinese-style military uniforms, and carries a red flag. The unit's designation was even based on Taiwan's Han Kuang Exercise, emphasizing a distinctly Chinese image. However, this seemingly appropriate setup was ruined by the presence of white faces.
After several days of training, the American soldiers, who already had military experience, quickly restored order to the unit. After tasting Chinese military food, they were as happy as children, and their motivation to learn Chinese was even stronger.
By early February, preparations were underway to begin the operational plan.
Their entire unit was dispatched to Naha City on the Ryukyu Islands. Many of the soldiers had originally escaped from there, but unexpectedly found themselves back at their original place of residence.
