Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

However, compared to Chongqing's 3500 million population, Hokkaido's population has plummeted to less than 500 million, with at least half living in the Sapporo metropolitan area. The areas included in the Taiwan immigration plan's urban area development zone are the Nemuro, Kushiro, and Okhotsk development bureaus, with approximately 50 local residents, an aging rate of 36%, and a male-to-female ratio of 96:100, with elderly women making up the majority.

According to the "Genchuk Urban Development Plan", the land here will be forcibly acquired to build a large new Chinese residential area outside the old city.

This can greatly reduce the waste in building utilization.

For example, Kitami City, a mere city of 11 people, has several city sports stadiums, libraries, and a very impressive municipal government building, which is clearly the work of local interest groups.

These spaces can be fully utilized for use by new immigrants.

Therefore, in recent months, the local construction industry has been dominated by Chinese-owned construction contractors who have been building various high-rise and low-rise buildings in a manner that is familiar to Chinese people, creating commercial urban clusters, power plants, water purification plants, and building related factories and road infrastructure for companies such as TSMC and MediaTek.

TSMC has moved its headquarters here, and several advanced production lines are preparing to move in to manufacture products for companies such as Intel and AMD.

Their production lines in Taiwan were separated and established as TSMC China to manufacture products for domestic high-tech companies. This can be considered a nominal separation.

Many Taiwanese immigrants have already arrived and are currently looking for work as introduced to them.

The massive influx of immigrants, if it had happened five years ago when extreme xenophobic sentiments erupted among the people, would have certainly caused a huge uproar with Li Xinghe.

But now, not a ripple has been made.

The reason is quite simple: Li Xinghe dispatched the coastal combat brigade, which, by displaying its ruthless nature, silenced the local elderly.

Of course, a lot of money was also spent. Vast sums of money were poured into the area, building nursing homes, power plants, and waterworks, costing hundreds of billions of dollars to transform the area into Japan's newest and most advanced urban district. Even the elderly are served by BYD buses when they go out.

Many farmers received hundreds of millions of yen in redemption money, instantly becoming millionaires and flying to Tokyo to enjoy their retirement.

The other reason is quite peculiar.

The general public in Japan believes that if sacrificing those heavily indebted areas in northeastern Hokkaido can bring in a large number of Taiwanese life insurance, banking, and semiconductor companies with assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, then this is a good thing.

Give me the job opportunities, and let those impoverished border areas bear the burden of population migration.

This very Japanese way of thinking has once again proven effective, with major media outlets helping to cover it up, making most Japanese people unaware that such a group of immigrants had moved north.

In Hokkaido, Lai Ching-te and his entourage met with the local garrison.

A Russian, speaking with a strong Northeastern accent:

"I am Xu Baofeng, the person in charge of the garrison here."

They were sent to Shikotan Island, where several government-style buildings had been erected.

“This place is about the same size as Taipei City, so feel free to move in, don’t be shy,” Xu Baofeng said with a sly laugh.

This island is many times smaller than Taiwan, but roughly the same size as Taipei. There are very few Russians left on the island; they received repatriation money from Li Xinghe, were tortured by the local Russian troops, and then fled to Moscow.

With a total area of ​​255 square miles, the island can be considered a pearl in the north for this Taiwanese government-in-exile.

If you place the millions of Taiwanese residents on the small plains in northeastern Hokkaido, and their own autonomous government on Shikotan Island, the small autonomous government can still continue to function.

Lai Qingde and the others were overjoyed, not expecting that Li Xinghe would actually acknowledge the debt.

However, although it looks like the 'Taiwan Autonomous Government Building' from the outside, inside it is a standard prison, with rows of iron bars that imprison time.

"What? This isn't what you promised..."

It was too late to say anything then. The soldiers behind them raised their guns, while those in front brandished batons to teach them to face reality.

"Get in! You bunch of prisoners!"

Just as the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was about to protest, Hsu Pao-feng, who was in charge of detaining them, became furious.

Baofeng, a native of Russian descent who grew up in a factory area in Heilongjiang in the 90s, is extremely dissatisfied that he cannot participate in the reunification of Taiwan, but is instead forced to build prisons for these pro-independence terrorists in Hokkaido. If it weren't for the fact that millions of Taiwanese were actually immigrating to Hokkaido, Baofeng would have thrown them all into the sea to feed the fish long ago.

He commanded:

"Let's give them a good beating first!"

So, in places without cameras, the DPP members who were subjected to the beatings were forced to kneel on the ground and didn't even dare to cry.

Lai Ching-te, Hsiao Bi-khim, Lin Yu-chang, Ho Po-wen, Ker Chien-ming, and a long list of DPP leaders, whose eyes had become clear after being beaten with sticks, then seemed to realize what had happened, but very obediently walked into the prison where they were being held.

They are prisoners.

All those fantasies about moving the whole family were just empty promises. Where's Mei? Where's Meilin? I'm empty, you're in Lin, are you there...?

Of course, they alone are not enough.

There's another group of guests.

When another group of people arrived, Lai Ching-te, Hsiao Bi-khim, and hundreds of other core members of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) were squatting in a corner eating silently, just like the opposition members who had been tormented and imprisoned by this group during their last-ditch rampage; now they were also in jail.

Kuomintang Chairman Eric Chu, Vice Chairman Chiang Wan-an, and other Kuomintang members who were certified as guilty came to mock them:

"Ha, Lai Ching-te, you've finally met your match!"

“You can all stay inside. We’re going to govern the autonomous government and become the chairman.”

The Kuomintang (KMT) members used hilarious expressions to mock the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) members in prison.

However, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is also laughing.

They welcomed their new cellmate.

The soldiers escorting the Kuomintang soldiers also smiled, then proceeded to beat them with sticks, causing them to scream in agony.

"Still laughing? You all get inside too!"

Eric Chu was terrified and kept shouting:

"Weren't we here to visit? I'm here to visit, what do you want?"

Jiang Wan'an frantically pulled at the guards:

"You promised to let us rebuild an autonomous government here in Genchuk?"

Xu Baofeng, on Li Xinghe's behalf, reneged on his promise and laughed:

"What bullshit promises! This is your prison!"

Shikotan Island originally had two settlements, living in two bays.

Now we can connect the two residential areas and create two prison districts. One will house members of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and the other will house members of the Kuomintang (KMT).

As for their families, they were arranged to settle on the nearby Nemuro Peninsula.

In addition to being beaten with sticks every day, members of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Kuomintang (KMT) had to constantly write confessions, clearly explaining their acts of treason, and also explaining the causes and consequences of multiple fishermen's deaths in order to help the authorities make the final judgment.

In addition, there is a group activity in the evening, where Xu Baofeng taps a stick:

"Tell me! Where is Tsai Ing-wen?"

The following group of people eagerly answered:

"She should be... in the United States, right? London or Paris. She doesn't live in Taiwan often."

Taiwanese people know that Ms. Tsai doesn't usually live in Taiwan; she's either in Europe or the United States. Similarly, Hsiao Bi-khim doesn't usually live in Taiwan either; she was only detained at the Presidential Office by a special task force because she's the Vice President.

A large number of Taiwanese politicians are also based overseas, especially in the United States.

Xu Baofeng, acting on Li Xinghe's orders, shouted:

“Send a message to Tsai Ing-wen and tell her that you have now established a provisional autonomous government on Shikotan Island and the Okumai Islands in Hokkaido, and are also governing the towns and villages of Kushiro, Nemuro, Kitami, and Abashiri in Hokkaido. Now ask her to come back and serve as the chairperson of the autonomous government. Send this message out as much as possible.”

what?

Hsiao Bi-khim asked:

"Isn't this a telecommunications fraud?"

"They're being tricked! The number of people you can bring back means the number of crimes you can reduce!"

Xu Baofeng bared his teeth and made prisoners from both parties realize the current situation:

"You lot, think it over. The real name of this place is the Shikotan Island Prison Management Center. You're going to undergo a long and arduous period of reformation here. When you'll be able to leave alive depends on the results of your reformation. If you don't cooperate with the government, you'll be in jail until you die!"

Helpless and in order to mitigate their crimes, Lai Ching-te, Hsiao Bi-khim, Eric Chu, and others had no choice but to release a large amount of telecom fraud information under supervision, luring Tsai Ing-wen and other politicians in Europe and the United States to come to Japan to serve as chairpersons of the autonomous government, using endless rhetoric to do so.

After intimidating them, the warden asked Xu Baofeng:

"We're not really going to be jailers here, are we?"

Xu Baofeng shook his head:

"No way. The southwest side of Shikotan Island has already started developing a planned city. In the future, this area will be developed like a small Macau in the north. These people will be transferred to a small island in the Tobu Islands, where several thousand of them will be imprisoned on a tiny island where only one building can be built, and then sent to guard a nuclear power plant, humph."

Soon after, a series of good news came from the prison.

But it wasn't Tsai Ing-wen who was arrested.

Instead, a large number of female prisoners from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Kuomintang (KMT), and even women from distant villages, had become pregnant. The father, of course, was neither a DPP nor a KMT member; he was a coalition officer guarding them on the island. Some of these men couldn't control themselves and were easily seduced by the women and their families.

This left Xu Baofeng and Li Xinghe speechless. They ordered the punishment of those who left without permission, but they also had to allow these women to continue serving their sentences with their children, promising to reduce their sentences for having children. As a result, even women in their forties were looking for partners everywhere, hoping to get out of prison by having children.

The uterus is also an unparalleled advantage for women.

Ryukyu.

Li Xinghe lay on the sofa, trying to ease his aching head. He'd been busy and exhausted these past few days, barely getting any sleep, and had also taken a lot of "smart drugs" to improve his concentration.

Ping Yingmei rubbed Li Xinghe's forehead to relieve his stress:

"There are rumors circulating outside that you've been taken over by Lu Huayingmei. Aren't you going to respond? Maybe those reporters will make you happy."

Li Xinghe grunted twice but did not answer.

It's his hobby to seek amusement from reporters, but there's no need for that now.

The Nagumo sisters, sitting opposite him on the sofa, temporarily took on the role of the Prime Minister's secretaries, doing paperwork for Lee Sung-ha.

Asuka Nagumo helps Li Xinghe summarize his subordinates' information reports:

"Taiwan's judicial issues are key to future social governance."

"The bad news is that after our mass recall of all judicial personnel in Taiwan, a large number of local powerful families have shown dissatisfaction with our governance. The good news is that we have tanks, so the demolition work targeting these powerful families is going more smoothly."

The so-called "family relocation" is essentially the forced collection of these people's assets and their relocation to Hokkaido. Even if you don't want to go, I'll still send you there.

Taiwan's local political factions are quite complex. A county or city often forms a political force called a "family" or "faction" due to a few large political families. These families often come from the administrative and legal departments, and are lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. Both the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) need to recruit these local warlords for local elections. Fortunately, these warlords have become integrated with gangs and politics, so the list of those they recruit is quite simple, consisting of hundreds of families.

The VT4 and Type 16 wheeled assault rifles, the armored units on the island, have been busy every day with ghosts knocking on their doors. They open the door, seize a family, and forcibly send them to Hokkaido.

This is an imitation of the Han Dynasty's policy of relocating imperial tombs. Taiwanese media jokingly refer to it as "guarding living graves." The trip to Hokkaido was packed with former leaders from various Taiwanese departments, including a former prime minister. Although nominally an autonomous government, it's clear to everyone that this is essentially an exile to the far north.

The people were naturally very supportive. With the local warlords gone, numerous opportunities arose, and many previously suppressed individuals came forward to participate in representative elections, engage in economic development, and advocate for public opinion. Compared to this, the wealth they took with them was truly insignificant.

Misaki Nagumo whispered a reminder:

"Another piece of bad news is that people don't have enough lawyers to help them with the litigation process."

Li Xinghe buried his face in Ping Yingmei's chest:

"And the good news?"

Asuka kicked her sister, mainly summarizing information about not putting pressure on Li Xinghe:

"The good news is that the level of judicial corruption in Taiwan is similar to that of Southeast Asian countries, falling into the category of being quite serious. Collusion between legislators, local councilors, and local courts is quite common. Therefore, after purging a large group of rent-seeking individuals, the public's feedback has actually improved considerably. This is mainly because they can evade a large number of lawsuits involving private lending, such as those against gangsters and loan sharks."

After unification, all previous debts can be waived. In a sense, this is a benefit of unification.

Some people may wonder, how can this happen when Taiwan is considered a developed economy?

But they've already degenerated to the point where gangs rule and fraud is rampant, so of course there are a ton of problems.

Li Xinghe rubbed Ping Yingmei's navel, feeling a headache coming on because the core of governance was still the judiciary.

This topic is somewhat sensitive, but there's just too much drama outside the courthouse. Who injured whom, how much was spent to settle privately, who cheated whom, how much compensation was paid to avoid going to court, who illegally raised funds, who used usury, who falsely accused whom, who is suspected of a crime—endless messy debts and high-intensity legal battles. Almost every lawsuit ends in exhaustion. In Japan, South Korea, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, very few people have a positive view of the judicial system. Everyone knows it's a tough hurdle to overcome once you're inside.

That's rather awkward.

Applying mainland Chinese law to Taiwan is problematic, as everyone is facing criticism and no one has a good reputation. The courts in mainland China, Japan, and South Korea are generally not doing well, as those familiar with the situation know. Equating Taiwanese courts with those in Southeast Asia is absurd, operating on a completely different level. Stories abound about things like "paying money to kill someone and getting away with it," "creating fabricated charges to get you imprisoned," and even "a court president personally toasting a gangster." Of course, this is something Taiwan learned from the US. The privileged second-generation Taiwanese sent to the US to study law have indeed mastered the essence of American political maneuvering.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Li Xinghe could only offer a simple and straightforward method: organizing judges from other locations to act as deputies.

“Organize a group of judges from various countries to come to Taiwan to provide support, and recruit law graduates from the mainland who have just graduated but have not yet entered law firms or courts, and put them in the courts to handle cases on their behalf.”

It's well known that modern media, academia, and entertainment industries are largely apprenticeship-based. Newly arrived law students are practically like farmhands in a landlord's household—without cases, they're nothing. Therefore, law students are highly dependent on resources.

Li Xinghe now has an endless supply of case resources.

However, once they arrived, they discovered that the conflicts here were far more serious than over there. Gang shootouts, midnight brawls, murders, robberies, drug trafficking, and gun sales were commonplace. It was hard to imagine whether these law students would be grateful for the miraculous opportunity Li Xinghe had given them.

He still cursed Li Xinghe as a jinx in the middle of the night.
