Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

The Nagasaki City representative raised an objection:

“We believe that this situation is not entirely a problem of Kyushu residents.”

Li Xinghe casually shifted the blame:

“You’re right. We also need to reflect on how previous Japanese governments tended to support local policies in areas with strong right-wing ideology (Hiroshima) while neglecting cities that promoted left-wing peace (Nagasaki).

Anyway, the previous government was always at fault.

Indeed, the openness and left-wing atmosphere in Kyushu's cities are quite good. Therefore, Li Xinghe's main target was the political families in Kyushu who had been kicked out of the political core. He brought out Taro Aso and continued to pressure these families, forcing them to make concessions, join the town service groups, and work with immigrants to build a new ecosystem.

Incidentally, Li Xinghe also established Kyushu branches of the Government Discipline and Efficiency Department in Fukuoka City and Kitakyushu City on Kyushu Island.

People jokingly say that 'Kyushu Tan Ti' is back.

When Li Xinghe arrived in Nagasaki, he immediately went to the Nagasaki Shipyard to inspect his Shinano aircraft carrier.

However, when he arrived at the slipway, he saw a large factory where the keel had just been laid but the main structure was not yet complete.

Li Xinghe was stunned:

"Where's my Shinano? My huge Shinano! Shouldn't the main structure be completed by now?"

Then he angrily asked the Mitsubishi manager:

"The order was given last July, and the steel plates were cut and the keel laid in July. We have the Izumo's blueprints, and we'd already revised the Shinano's construction blueprints with reference to the Nimitz. You fucking..."

Based on the normal construction speed of Japanese shipyards for the Izumo, the main structure should be basically completed by now, and it should be launched in three months.

Li Xinghe didn't force them to use military technology, but allowed them to use civilian technology extensively to increase speed. Even so, he still didn't fulfill his requirements.

The shipyard manager of Mitsubishi Shipyard immediately knelt down before Li Xinghe:

"We are very sorry! We are really... really inexperienced, and Mitsubishi and Ihi (Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries) are already running at full capacity... We have two shifts working day and night to ensure... to ensure that it will be completed in October."

Mitsubishi Shipbuilding has indeed worked very hard; building an aircraft carrier of over 6 tons is different from building a light aircraft carrier of 3 tons.

Their biggest challenge was actually the catapults. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier had steam catapults, and the Shinano-class carrier was initially touted as becoming Asia's second aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapults.

While Japan was involved in supplying the technology for the US electromagnetic catapult, it lacked the capability to build the entire system. Mitsubishi and several other major suppliers, including Ihi, debated for two months about whether or not to develop the electromagnetic catapult, ultimately concluding that they couldn't do it themselves and had to switch to a ski-jump system, thus delaying the project.

After hearing the explanation, Li Xinghe was once again so enraged by the androids that he fainted:

Why didn't you ask me?

The Mitsubishi employees were embarrassed and didn't dare to speak.

"We'll add another shift of workers and guarantee it will be launched before September!" The manager and factory director could only reiterate this assurance. Profit was no longer an option in this deal; Mitsubishi had to immediately involve all its shipyards in the project, sending over small sections of the aircraft carrier for assembly.

Li Xinghe gave up on discussing autonomy and initiative with the Japanese.

He's just stubborn. Li Xinghe didn't die on the battlefield, he didn't die in the F-18 air raid, but he's going to be driven crazy by the Japanese.

Because he was so angry, and because Ayako Aso was nearing her due date, Li Xinghe's subsequent journey was very tight.

The Shikoku region and the Chugoku region (San'in and San'yo) are asking: What about us?

Li Xinghe first sent Ayako Aso back to Tokyo, then visited the site where the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed in Shimonoseki, went to Hiroshima to criticize the locals for their strong right-wing ideology and lack of deep reflection on the war, and also went to Etajima to comfort the naval officer cadets who were completely lacking in spirit.

Since Shikoku Island was too unimportant and had not shown much resistance to xenophobia, Li Xinghe only glanced at Eta Island from afar, approved a large number of immigration quotas for them, and then returned to Tokyo.

The above is Li Xinghe's story in Kansai, compiled into a montage by the television station:

Taiko-sama is in Kansai.

This western tour not only established numerous town service groups, greatly expanding the influence of the public council, but also forged many cooperative agreements with various local powers in the Kansai region, significantly consolidating Li Xinghe's foundation for nationwide rule. It can be said that Li Xinghe's ruling power finally achieved nationwide expansion.

After returning to Tokyo, Ayako Aso was already admitted to the Royal Hospital. When she saw Li Xinghe return, she happily hugged his arm tightly.

What do you think of Kansai?

Li Xinghe felt he was about to be driven mad by the rigid thinking of the Japanese:

"Damn it, everyone's a robot. I'm not going there again."

……

Ayako Aso was admitted to the Royal Hospital to prepare for childbirth, and Eimi Shikamikazuchi was promoted from Minister of Justice to Deputy Prime Minister to take charge of the overall situation.

After Li Xinghe fully expanded his scope of power, the wave of immigrants that began in January continued to arrive. He also revised the laws and settlement measures accordingly to retain these immigrants to the greatest extent possible and get them involved in the urban renewal plan quickly.

When the clock struck May 1st, Li Xinghe received a notification from Lao Wu that a secret meeting was to be held.

They returned to the Shinzo Abe Memorial Hall.

Li Xinghe, Li Daiyao, Zhao Lieshu, Guanyinlong Qingniao, and Wu Jianzhong.

Five people gathered together.

Wu Jianzhong outlined the work plan for this meeting:

"We have been conducting island-encircling exercises for over a month now. Now we must consider our work plan after the liberation of Taiwan. As everyone knows, it is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to maintain it. How to provide the people of Taiwan with social governance that surpasses that of the pro-independence camp, how to eradicate gangs and cults in Taiwan, and how to carry out social reform are all issues."

When Guanyinlong Qingniao's mother isn't causing trouble for Li Xinghe, she still possesses a very rigorous spirit. She pointed out:

"The biggest problem in our work with Taiwan is how to thoroughly, comprehensively, and completely eliminate the deeply entrenched political forces of the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party. We cannot allow them to flee all the way to the United States, like the remnants of the South Vietnamese singing 'Never Betray Our Homeland' every year, nor can we allow them to remain intact on the island, like Lee Teng-hui seizing power, gradually infiltrating the political life of the new Taiwan. We must be as gentle as a spring breeze, but also harvest the weeds."

Zhao Lieshu offered an analogy:

"I think it's like cleaning up a house before building on it."

Li Daiyao made a minor correction:

"It's more like dismantling the main beams of a house and starting from scratch with the foundation to build a new building using the old parts."

When it comes to how to demolish a house and rebuild it, Li Xinghe, who has been working in Japan for four years, is full of creative ideas.

He suddenly had a brilliant idea, clapped his hands, and said:

"I have a suggestion."

He brought up the "sinking of Taiwan" scenario, a proposal put forward by the pro-independence camp in Taiwan in their desperation:

"A political deal is being made between Japan and Taiwan's KMT and DPP political forces. We are secretly accepting a model of exchanging technology industries for autonomy, and sending them to Hokkaido. What do you think?"

Wu Jianzhong and Qingniao Mama jointly refuted this:

"Not good at all. It seems you're just trying to freeload. And that's the South Vietnamese way."

But Li Xinghe didn't think so.

He was a warlord with poor moral character, so why should he be so particular about contracts?

Li Xinghe jokingly remarked:

“The grass is there, you can’t leave it without digging it up. But digging it up will hurt the roots of the civilians living nearby. So let’s let them leave on their own. Where do you think Okushiri, Yashiri, Amashiri, and Rishishima in Hokkaido would be suitable to build a large political prison?”

They lured them to Hokkaido and locked them up.

"You mean you're willing to trade your reputation for a respectable outcome?"

Wu Jianzhong fell into deep thought.

For Li Xinghe, deceiving extremists from both the pro-independence and pro-unification camps in Taiwan to serve time in Hokkaido carried little moral burden. However, Wu Jianzhong needed to consider Li Xinghe's political stance more deeply. How could he maintain the already strained but unbreakable relationship between Li Xinghe and the United States?

He needs to see how the US reacts to ensure that Japan can continue to act as a buffer between China and the US.

Kannon Taki Aotori, who knew nothing about military affairs, asked his own question:

Are there any concerns regarding combat?

"Whether Taiwan's air force can take off from the airport depends on our level of leniency. There's no need to worry so much. The only issue has always been how to avoid casualties among the Taiwanese people and how to completely eliminate the KMT and DPP."

The times have changed.

We are now in the era of beyond-visual-range (BVR) fighter warfare, and the Taiwan Air Force has completely lost the possibility of full-scale confrontation.

"If that's the case, then what about the supposedly very powerful F-35?"

"Haha, the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. The F-35's combat radius is no longer sufficient."

Li Xinghe shook his finger.

The F-35, especially the F-35B, as a fifth-generation fighter jet, has truly become a clown.

The PL-15 missile, ahead of its time, proved that the range of fighter jet air-to-air missiles has been extended from 35-50 kilometers to over 200 kilometers, meaning that air-to-air missiles launched from over Fujian can be shot down before Taiwanese troops take off.

Under the current system-of-systems warfare paradigm, the US Air Force is no longer able to gain air superiority in East Asia. In this situation, the shorter the range of an aircraft, the more embarrassing it becomes; for long-range operations, its fuel tanks are insufficient, and it may not even be able to find a chance to take off. Therefore, the entire F-35 series of aircraft is suddenly stuck in a rut.

If the F-35 is already in such a predicament, then aircraft like the F-16, which are already completely within missile range, must consider whether they can take off before their airfields are destroyed.

Wu Jianzhong tried to offer suggestions:

"Then you should go to Busan. The UN should announce the Busan Four-Party Talks tomorrow. When we get there, we should contact various parties first. It would be best to reach an understanding with the Americans before implementing the Hokkaido prison plan."

Two years ago in Busan, Lee Sung-ha started the Busan Four-Party Peace Forum to discuss regional peace, and this tradition has been continued.

With the instigation of the United States, South Korea, and numerous pro-American forces, the Quad talks, as the final peace forum, will decide the fate of this year's war in May.

The bluebird mother suddenly raised her hand:

"I have to go too."

"Huh? Why?"

The bluebird at Guanyin Waterfall seemed to have something hidden in it:

"Xueshi-chan has already realized that our relationship with the Communist Party has become closer than she imagined. It's deeper and more complicated than she thought. I'm afraid she'll press me for details about your relationship with the Communist Party."

Li Xinghe asked:

"so what?"

“Nan Jiaduo and I will accompany you to Busan so I can lay low for a while.”

Not right.

Li Xinghe pursed his lips.

The bluebird mother deliberately made a lewd joke to cover it up:

"While you're negotiating, we can also do some fun activities. Southern California too!"

Li Xinghe sighed:

"Kill me."

Bluebird Mom is so playful!

……

2030 October.

With tensions in Northeast Asia on the verge of erupting, and China's fleet stationed permanently on Green Island and Orchid Island, repeatedly approaching Penghu, the United States and the United Nations have begun to regain their composure. They have been exerting continuous pressure and advocating within the UN for China to engage in peaceful dialogue with Taiwan.

Considering that we are not yet fully prepared for war, Li Xinghe's side still needs some time to prepare, and China needs to maintain its image as a good guy in the international community, a meeting was held in Busan this month.

Busan Four-Party Peace Forum.

This time, the talks were supposed to be held by four countries: China, Japan, South Korea, and North Korea, but the US delegation insisted on joining in.

Before departing, the US military believed that its words could control the situation in the East China Sea.

But East Asians already understand the situation very well.

China is issuing an ultimatum.

The pro-independence camp is looking for a last chance. Mei has... you're in... empty... Lin is in... not...

Taiwan sent a fully-staffed delegation to Busan as an invited non-governmental organization to participate in the talks.

As a semi-host, Li Xinghe entered the venue with Zhao Lieshu by the arm and surrounded by more than a dozen high-ranking generals from the Self-Defense Forces and the Allied Forces, exuding the aura of a warlord's young master.

Guanyinlong Qingniao and Nan Jiaduo followed hand in hand behind, not attracting much attention.

However, the fact that Higashikawa Yukami, a stunningly beautiful woman of exceptional height, also came along made Li Xinghe suspect that Kannon Taki Aonori must have accidentally let something slip.

But he couldn't ask during the day.

Because the entire city of Busan is full of his die-hard fans. When he arrives, he becomes the most powerful star in all of Busan.

Incidentally, the South Korean right wing and the Japanese right wing are birds of a feather, so they are also obsessed with elevating Lee Sung-ha to the title of "Prince Heung," paving the way for transforming the Republic of Korea back into the Korean Empire. Meanwhile, the democratic factions in South Korea, having been torn apart from all sides by the Korean Party, have begun to move into the government to continue defending their democratic system.

Busan, South Korea, is a core city and stronghold of the South Korean right wing.
