Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Don't ask why a place that has just experienced riots is good. Believe that it doesn't need empirical evidence; it is good because it is good.

Even so, many mysteries remain unsolved.

For example, how exactly did Suzuki Naomichi die?

The official reason given was that the rioting Japanese extreme nationalists were dragged out and hanged.

However, some bureaucrats privately stated that Suzuki Naomichi was called out by Li Xinghe's soldiers, and news of his death came shortly afterward. Moreover, many people said that Li Xinghe's soldiers and Taiwanese militia arrived in force, killing many rioters along the way.

However, reporters in Sapporo tacitly ignored these rumors.

Do you want to die?

Some reporters even went so far as to post on social media to flatter him:

"The confused Sapporo bureaucrats and citizens were probably driven mad by extreme nationalists and misjudged the chaotic situation last night. We reiterate our appeal that the people of Hokkaido should not ignore the correct policy guidance of such a distinguished and capable prime minister, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces."

As for the thieves and robbers shot dead on the roadside, the reporters ignored them, calling it a necessary sacrifice.

It can also save on pension funds, prison space, and reduce crime rates in Hokkaido.

So why are Taiwanese militias still using their old equipment from World War II and the Vietnam War, driving M48 tanks with Chinese flags flying on them?

The commander, who had been preparing for war against the CCP but was on the battlefield suppressing the Japanese for the first time, gave a very clever explanation:

"They're homesick. It's perfectly reasonable for Chinese immigrants to miss their homeland. Every year on October 1st, Japanese supermarkets are filled with Chinese flags. What's so strange about that?"

"what?"

Even the most clueless political journalist probably knows that the Taiwanese flag doesn't actually look like this.

But this is a news media outlet, so political stance matters.

You lie through your teeth, and they write news articles based on those lies.

Some people also asked:

"What about President Tsai Ing-wen? Wasn't she already serving as the president in the government office on Shikotan Island?"

The commander stared at the sky:

"She's... overseeing the construction of the new government building on Shikotan Island. Actually, Shikotan Island is quite large, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, so our future goal is to establish a genuine immigrant government on Shikotan Island. Therefore, we are only temporarily under the command of the Japanese Prime Minister on Hokkaido Island to assist in restoring social order."

No matter how you ask, Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Ching-te are always saying that they are preparing a major project on Shikotan Island to rebuild it.

As for where the person is, we don't know.

When will it be released?

Only God knows.

……

Japan's real sky is not the ozone layer at an altitude of 30,000 meters, nor is it the blue sky that is visible to the naked eye but out of reach.

He was a very young, tall man.

The young man then led a large group of media to a Taiwanese immigrant residential area, showing them the TSMC base that had already begun operation, as well as the nuclear power plant and MediaTek.

Li Xinghe continued to improvise memorable quotes on the spot:

"Human beings' most fundamental right is the right to survival, and the most fundamental driving force for economic development is the improvement of productivity. We must not only provide people with the right to survival, but also promote the vigorous development of productivity. Hokkaido used to lack high-tech industries and have high energy prices, but those days are gone forever."

However, the media's cameras mostly didn't focus on Li Xinghe.

They either take pictures of handsome men's faces to show to female fans, or they secretly study the identities of the women around Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe spoke eloquently at the front:

"I appeal to international investors to invest in Hokkaido! Invest in the Tohoku region! My policy will not change for 10 years."

The reporters whispered among themselves:

"Look, isn't that Ms. Dongchuan? Li Xinghe's chief of intelligence and police systems."

"No one is taller than her, 1.9 meters tall, it's terrifying."

"Are those two sisters next to us the Kuni sisters? The older sister is said to be the Prime Minister's mother's apprentice and the future head of the Eastern District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department; the younger sister is the heiress of the Sally Group and also controls the Hokkaido Oil Company, which imports Russian oil into Japan."

The reporters also noticed the small girl in the group with keen insight:

"That's Wu Keke, the only daughter of Wu Yingke, the acting president of Mizuho Financial Group. It's said that Wu Yingke and Wu Keke are the private financial stewards of the Japanese Prime Minister..."

The media interpreted the appearance of Makabe Kokubun and Kana Yamato as follows:

'The Prime Minister needs to demonstrate to the world his confidence in financial stability and the depth of the alliance.'

In this respect, Li Xinghe achieved his goal of bringing people to Hokkaido.

The inspection in the Taiwan immigration area lasted a day. After signing several infrastructure projects, including the Kushiro International Airport and the Nemuro Large International Container Terminal, Lee Sung-ha once again boosted his international reputation.

It wasn't until evening that they returned, exhausted, to their luxurious cabins on the battleship Yashima.

"worn out!"

Yamato Kana stuck out her tongue and, at Kokubun Makabe's prompting, was the first to crawl into the bathroom.

"This is nothing. Going to Tokyo and talking to Japanese bureaucrats is the real exhaustion."

Li Xinghe laughed and sat down on the sofa.

Higashikawa Yukami curled his lip in mockery of the weakness of Japanese bureaucrats:

"The Japanese bureaucrats are now caught in a dilemma, already prisoners of their own power. We are very cautious in our actions, and they are even less likely to act rashly now. The bureaucrats are well aware of your large-scale purge of the Self-Defense Forces, but they don't care. They don't even talk about opposing it now, because they know what will happen if the civilian government they have worked so hard to build encounters an out-of-control military."

What else could it be but a February 26 Incident for the civilian officials?

Under the irresponsible and reckless rule of the Showa era, low-ranking soldiers frequently launched mutinies with the tacit approval of the middle and upper echelons, and the elimination of civilian officials and bureaucrats continued for more than a decade. The day when the bureaucrats were reduced to mere shadows of their former selves was not far off.

Based on this historical memory, Japanese bureaucrats readily switched between the military and warlord factions. They preferred to follow Li Xinghe rather than allow the Self-Defense Forces to spiral out of control.

Kokubun Tsukiyaki, who is not good at socializing, added:

"They also hypnotize themselves into believing that they are playing a grand game. They believe that we will lead Japan to begin the US-China rebalancing strategy and guide Japan through the stage of strategic hegemony transformation."

This is one of her observations.

Currently, Japan's academic and media circles are all researching in this direction. Articles advising the Japanese to be patient are being published everywhere.

This is a peculiar mindset of certain colonized countries, who always feel that although they have suffered a small loss in the short term, they will have better days ahead after being led to development.

The Japanese view the United States and Li Xinghe's successive control in this way. Indians view the British-created British India Viceroyalty similarly, always feeling that since Britain built it, they can simply reap the benefits.

A simpler explanation is that it's okay if you slap them; they'll figure it out themselves.

At this point, Yukimi Higashikawa suddenly brought up more important matters outside of Hokkaido:

"The US election has already begun, and the final results will be announced in November. We need to prepare for it as soon as possible."

Li Xinghe rubbed his forehead and analyzed:

"The US election has fallen into a chain of suspicion, entering a state of darkness. Everyone knows that Vance, the Republicans, and the Democrats may all overturn the table, but no one knows when they will do so. They can only be on high alert, and eventually one side will inevitably overturn the table. As long as we take advantage of this opportunity to absorb their assets into our own bodies, it will be enough to stabilize the situation and withstand the new dollar devaluation crisis that will inevitably erupt at the end of the year."

Kokubun Makabe glanced at her older sister, Tsukiya, who was difficult to join the conversation, and pouted.

Sigh, I still need to personally step forward.

She took a step forward, ran behind Li Xinghe, and suddenly whispered in his ear:

"Let me see your dark forest."

"Ok?"

Li Xinghe pressed down on Kokubun Makabe with his backhand:

"You've really gone too far, you're really pushing your luck."

……

at the same time.

Texas, Carson County, Pantex plant.

As the largest nuclear weapons production and nuclear energy dismantling plant in the United States, it is equipped with a heavily guarded, multi-layered armed system, including protection from the Army and National Guard, as well as multiple layers of interlocking with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, to ensure the absolute security of the U.S. nuclear weapons plant.

But ironically, in this heavily guarded place, for some unknown reason, on a night when many people were on vacation, a freight truck drove into the factory area.

Today, these two trucks are transporting a W76-2 nuclear warhead to somewhere.

The W76-2 nuclear warhead is a scaled-down version of the W76-1 nuclear warhead, with a yield of only 5000 tons of TNT, making it a small tactical nuclear weapon.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just an ordinary freight truck, like those heavy-duty trailers that toil daily on the highways of America.

But this is a strategic truck that transports W76-2 nuclear warheads.

Although it sounds a bit funny, this is already the only nuclear missile transport and missile launch equipment in the U.S. Army.

The driver walked strangely, seemingly mentally unstable. He haphazardly fastened the truck to the trailer, and thus, under the watchful eyes of numerous intelligence agencies and guards, he dragged the nuclear bomb cargo hold out of the Pentax factory.

Of course, several escort cars followed behind.

The truck had only traveled a few dozen miles when, near a roadside truck driver rest stop, the driver, looking dazed, went into the toilet.

A gunshot rang out.

The driver collapsed to the ground, head down.

The soldiers rushed over to see.

People are dead.

Looking back, the heavy-duty truck that had appeared out of nowhere, also disappeared into the black night sky amidst the inexplicable shooting.

Gone.

It's lost.

The next day.

This explosive news made headlines on the front page of the US newspaper.

A tactical nuclear missile has gone missing.

The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Pentagon have all offered huge sums of money as rewards for information leading to the whereabouts of nuclear weapons.

It is truly astonishing that the Vance government, as the world's largest country, could make such a mess.

Republican independent media outlets immediately rushed to smear the Democrats:

"It's the Democratic extremists, Antifa stole the nuclear bomb! They want to bomb the White House! Carson County is a Democratic district. And they have close ties with all sorts of intelligence agency personnel who have been dismissed! They're in cahoots!"

Republicans tend to believe that the missing nuclear bomb is likely to fall on the White House, and that the Democrats, seeing their election prospects were not good and realizing that about 35% of the public would still follow the Maga movement anyway, resorted to this desperate measure.

The Democratic Party's extreme factions also have their own theories, and they've even pointed out where the nuclear bomb might be dropped:

"It must have been the Maga militants who stole the nuclear bomb! Texas is a red state, they must have orchestrated this whole thing. Their real goal is to bomb the Democratic National Convention venue in Chicago, Illinois, with tactical nuclear warheads!"

The Democrats believe that the Republicans, unable to defeat the Republicans in a direct confrontation, will steal a nuclear bomb and blow up the Democratic National Convention, thus eliminating Obama, Biden, Hillary Clinton, Schumer, and other top Democratic figures.

Both sides began a tacit and urgent mobilization of their core militia forces.

A ghost, the ghost of a nuclear bomb, is swirling over the United States.

All armed groups, all political parties, all economic entities, no matter how wealthy or powerful, can be destroyed by nuclear weapons. Therefore, everyone must consider the threat of this tactical nuclear weapon with a yield of 5000 tons of TNT.

A chain of suspicion gradually formed in the United States.

This is the real Dark Forest moment.

Chapter 835: Ke'er's Night, the Nuclear Crisis (5300 words)

Outside the window, the sounds were deafening; inside, lewd moans filled the air.

Kokubun Makabe, with her oval face, red cherry lips accentuated by a beauty mark, and a cool, noble air, her chestnut-brown shoulder-length hair swaying gently, was a stunning beauty who resembled a school goddess with every smile and gesture. Yet, she whispered in Li Xinghe's ear:

"Let me see your dark forest~"

"It's against you!"

Li Xinghe turned around and pressed down on the beautiful woman who always made some vulgar and obscene remarks. He was simply unable to hold back his temper because of her comments.

Clearly, Makabe Kokubun has indeed read The Three-Body Problem and is even more familiar with the Dark Forest allegory.

Li Xinghe held her down, but Kokubun Makabe was pulling at Li Xinghe's pants:

"Didn't you hear what the media said? I'm your financial wife. If you don't agree to let me see it, I'll cut off your financial support, hmph. Listen to me, let me see it!"
