Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Li Xinghe, however, pointed out:

"The problem is that this yield of nuclear bomb is just enough to destroy a stadium with a radius of 1.1 kilometers. The Democratic Party is holding its national convention in Chicago, and the Republican Party is holding its national convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Both cities are on Lake Michigan, less than 150 kilometers apart. And such a nuclear bomb actually has a combat weight of only 95 kilograms, which can be dropped by any small plane."

The newly developed W76-2 nuclear bomb by the Americans, as a tactical nuclear weapon, weighs less than 95 kilograms. The reason it's transported by truck is purely to ensure a safe environment for the nuclear weapon; otherwise, a small car could easily take it away. The reason the nuclear bomb can't be found is precisely this: any small car could easily transfer and take away a nuclear bomb. Given hundreds of millions of vehicles, how could this be traced?

Especially that very strange night, the CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security were notified until the next morning, by which time the truck and the nuclear bomb had already disappeared.

It would have been better if the bomb had been dropped in America.

But what if it leaks out of the United States and gets bombed in Tokyo or somewhere else?

Li Xinghe stood up and issued an order to the Joint Command, to Lin Youzi:

"We will return to Tokyo quickly and assemble the three aircraft carrier battleships immediately, and have all ships in the fleet undergo major combat readiness overhauls. The Tamamo-no-Mae will be overhauled ahead of schedule, and the Japanese ships will immediately conduct their second sea trials, reducing the sea trial process to five stages. The construction progress of the Shinano aircraft carrier and the five missile destroyers needs to be accelerated further to prevent any unexpected problems."

Unaware of what had happened, Lin Youzi immediately followed the instructions after receiving the message.

After putting down his phone, Li Xinghe sighed:

"A stolen nuclear bomb, two major cities on the shores of Lake Michigan, two national conventions of American parties, two paths that would determine the fate of the United States."

The future of the United States will depend on this year's midterm elections.

Having suffered a complete defeat in the Taiwan crisis, how much of a frantic counterattack will Vance have to mount to secure his position?

Behind them, several women started pulling at each other.

Kokubun Tsukiya grabbed her sister's left hand, while Higashikawa Yukami gripped Makabe's right hand, dragging her to Li Xinghe's side.

"Kokubun Makabe, you're dead!"

Even the idiot Yamato and Keira realized that Kokubun Makabe was too wicked, always planning all sorts of strange sex positions.

So, in order to get revenge, Yueya and Dongchuan Xueshi joined forces, took off her pajamas, lifted her up, and pinned her against Li Xinghe.

The smooth breasts were parted by her older sister, Yueya, and the small, medium-sized breasts were held in Higashikawa Yukami's hands. The large Xinghe was pressed against the flower path, and Kokubun Makabe looked at Li Xinghe with some embarrassment.

Li Xinghe asked with a smile:

"I'm still the one who's presenting, but you're the one with the mugwort. What do you want to say this time?"

After a moment of thought, Kokubun Makabe suddenly revealed his erotic dream:

"If there is a tomorrow, ah, I want to see three mothers stacking mugwort together."

Yamato Kana suddenly appeared and shouted:

"That guy whose mind is full of lewd thoughts, may he be punished by heaven!"

Then he climbed onto the bed next to her, jumped up in one breath, and hung on Kokubun Makabe's back, pressing her down as she fell.

The riding position allowed Da Da Xinghe to penetrate perfectly deep into Kokubun Makabe's body and soul. Then, the three women together held Kokubun Makabe, punishing her by using her like a sex toy.

"what!!!"

Kokubun Makabe was very happy, feeling as if he were in heaven.

happy.

Chapter 836: Anti-submarine Drill, Residents' Uprising, East-West Mutual Protection (4100 words)

The next day.

The Hokkaido Regional Council began its final political vote.

A large group of pathetic local tycoons and politicians entered the venue and awkwardly smiled in front of reporters.

Regional minority party leader Hisashi Inatsu led the members of parliament in standing up and applauding to welcome the Taiwanese and Ainu representatives sent by Li Xinghe into the chamber. He added that Ainu and Taiwanese representatives should also be included in this parliament in the future to compete with them.

The meeting was chaired by Noko Ogoshi from Chuo Ward, a long-established powerful family in Sapporo.

Because she was a female politician who championed peace policies, she was not hanged from a streetlamp.

She read aloud:

"In the first round of voting, the Hokkaido region supports the establishment of a centrally administered system. Under such a system, Hokkaido will have a brighter future. Please vote."

Logically speaking, local councilors would certainly disagree with such a policy change.

However, in the first round of voting, 51% of the votes were in favor.

The reporters were not surprised, and the lawmakers applauded.

In fact, this vote was merely a demonstration. Since Li Xinghe would never give them two choices, everyone understood not to cause him trouble. If a vote of 49 to 51 were to occur, then Li Xinghe would be demonstrating his true nature as a 'great mathematician'.

Last year, during the territorial dispute between the Philippines and Japan, Li Xinghe revealed his mathematician-like characteristics when he said, "The Batan Islands involve China, Japan, and the Philippines. I alone control two of them, China and Japan, so I have 66% sovereignty over the Batan Islands." The people of Hokkaido certainly don't want to experience the same treatment as the Filipinos, getting beaten up on the beach.

As the surviving party leader, Hisashi Inatsu began his daily performance amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.

他 说:

Overall, I largely approve of this decision.

The members of the House of Representatives remained silent.

I knew you'd say that, you old bastard.

Noko Ogoshi quietly began the second round of voting:

"In Hokkaido, to achieve true ethnic peace, we must acknowledge the existence of different ethnic groups within its borders, including the Yamato, Ainu, and Chinese. We must promote equality and eliminate injustice..."

Such a vote naturally passed 100%. Anyone who dared to utter a single word of dissent was hung on a streetlamp as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll shaped like a sunny day) the day before yesterday.

As Speaker, Hisashi Inatsu continued:

Overall, I largely approve of this decision.

The congressman was already getting impatient with him.

Just finish your lines and that's it.

Noko Ogoshi continued:

"In the third round of voting, we will discuss agricultural and industrial development, as well as the continued construction of public transportation. The Prime Minister has issued us a 'Five-Year Plan for the Development of Agriculture and Industry in Hokkaido,' and this plan..."

Needless to say, it was still a 100% approval rate. So there wasn't even a vote this time; Inatsu Hisashi simply announced:

Overall, I largely approve of this decision.

As a "generally supportive" gentleman, Hisashi Inatsu has been spouting nonsense for decades. He "generally supports" everything, even the LGBT issue and the issue of same-sex marriage. How could he possibly oppose the political decisions made by Lee Seong-ha? Many members of parliament hoped that he could lead the Hokkaido Parliament to finally oppose Lee Seong-ha's policies, but who knew that he would be so weak that he would kneel down to the very end.

Moreover, that's 60 trillion yen. Regardless of how much of it Li Xinghe siphoned off, at least half to 65% of it will actually go to Hokkaido. The people of Hokkaido have no room for objection.

Then, Hisashi Inatsu took office as the governor of Hokkaido after it became a directly administered municipality in the parliament, beginning his new career of 'general approval'.

the other side.

Li Xinghe had barely rested for one night before he had to rush back to Tokyo.

So he and Xu Baofeng could only drink two glasses of water before saying goodbye.

Li Xinghe said with great regret:

"It's a pity I didn't get to witness firsthand how Lai Ching-te, Tsai Ing-wen, and Hsiao Bi-khim were disciplined, or see them undergoing labor reform during the day and writing confessions at night." (The last part, "美呢在林美你空你林在在没呢," is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

Xu Baofeng then spread his hands:

"Haha, if you want to see it, I can record a surveillance video for you. Actually, there's nothing to see. Ever since some women got pregnant, there are surveillance cameras everywhere now."

"Forget it."

Li Xinghe was just joking, of course. Who would bother watching their surveillance cameras? If they saw a few middle-aged women posing seductively to the guards, that would be too much of an eyesore.

He took Xu Baofeng for a stroll on the battleship's deck, and they got down to the really important issues:

"I'm about to leave. Your coastal combat brigade is in Hokkaido. Keep in close contact with the Northern Army Self-Defense Force of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. If anything happens on the US side, you need to consider how to respond. If the Pacific Command tries to harass us, stop them decisively. If US military vessels are operating nearby, drive them away."

Is that all?

Xu Baofeng asked, somewhat dissatisfied:

"If things get chaotic in the US, could I go to the Niger Islands and pretend to help the US defend against a Russian invasion? Besides, they're just a few uninhabited islands. Maybe by the time the Americans find out, our naval base will already be built."

He is a pure Russian, but culturally Chinese, and feels no qualms about using this excuse.

The Nile Islands are the southwesternmost archipelago of Alaska, just a few hundred kilometers from the Kamchatka Peninsula, 2000 kilometers from Hokkaido, and about 2000 kilometers from the Alaskan mainland. It can be said to be the closest part of the United States to Asia.

If the confrontation between China and the United States on the southern front is concentrated in Guam and the Mariana Islands, then the confrontation on the northern front is naturally between Hokkaido and the Aleutian Islands.

Li Xinghe thought for a moment and nodded in agreement:

"We'll see. It's just an island with no real value. No... maybe it's worth a try. At least we should set up an unmanned submarine monitoring station. We don't know where the US submarines will be operating. We need to prepare in advance."

American submarines are now the most troublesome ships in the Pacific.

……

The Yashima battleship formation turned south and gradually moved south along the Pacific Ocean line.

The journey may not have changed much from 30 years ago; the only difference is the fish in the sea.

The Japanese chef on the ship complained:

"This is unbelievable! How come there are so many parasites on the fish in this sea?"

"It's said that because the seawater temperature has risen, even the fish in the other side of the seawater are now getting parasites."

someone said.

Of course, there is still no definitive conclusion as to why fish caught on both sides of the Japanese waters have increased parasites.

Li Xinghe didn't have time to care about these things, and he didn't eat raw fish or meat anyway.

He is on the phone with Takuto Ogasawara:

"Sending retired generals to the Japan Coast Guard is also a good option. Sending them to China is also an option. Just remember one thing: killing people isn't enough; you have to destroy their spirit."

The Japan Coast Guard's lineage is arguably purer than that of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). Established on May 1, 1948, it absorbed a significant number of personnel from the former Imperial Japanese Navy, and even its ship naming conventions mirrored those of the JMSDF, continuing the naming traditions of the old Imperial Japanese Navy. The JMSDF, on the other hand, branched off from the Coast Guard.

Ogasawara Takuto then reported to Li Xinghe:

"We have decided to conduct a joint exercise in the East China Sea with China and South Korea. This will be the first joint peace exercise between China, Japan, and South Korea in the East China Sea in history. What are your instructions?"

Although nominally a peace exercise, with all parties explaining it as "enhancing local peace and stability," it was in reality a genuine military exercise. Japan played the role of the US dual-carrier strike group, while China's carrier strike group conducted mobile offensive maneuvers.

Li Xinghe has the Nimitz and F-35 aircraft under his command, both of which are American equipment. He is well-suited to conduct similar combat-like training exercises with the Chinese side.

After glancing at the exercise schedule, Li Xinghe noticed that it still clearly stated 'anti-submarine warfare'.

"Following the Americans, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is the anti-submarine squadron of the Seventh Fleet. Now the Seventh Fleet is so incompetent that we're cooperating with the Chinese military, but our mission is still anti-submarine warfare. Anti-submarine warfare, anti-submarine warfare with the US, anti-submarine warfare with China—isn't this job change a waste?"

Li Xinghe complained even more.

Chief of Staff Ogasawara's helpless reply:

"There's no way around it. The Pacific Command talks about its 'air-submarine-fast' system every day. They want to use their all-encompassing network of drones and strategic nuclear submarines. It's really frustrating."

The Pacific Command is also in a dilemma.

First, they lost the 25th Infantry Division and the 11th Airborne Division of the First Army in the Ryukyu Islands campaign in 2028, leaving the entire Marine Corps under their command almost an empty shell. After finally filling three empty shells with even worse prisoners and illegal immigrants, they were all sent to Taiwan by Vance and lost as well.

Therefore, the only thing the Pacific Command can rely on is its nuclear submarines.

The United States currently possesses a total of 48 nuclear-powered submarines of various types. As modern, true underwater battleships, these roaming nuclear submarines pose the greatest threat to China, as well as to Japan and South Korea, which are beginning to waver.

Since its inception, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has focused on anti-submarine warfare to counter China's "air-submarine-fast attack craft" system and prevent Chinese missile submarines from crossing the first island chain.

Now it's the other way around.

It is the Americans who are playing the "air, submarine, and fast attack" game, using drones, coastal speedboats, and nuclear submarines to harass and disrupt the peace and order in East Asia.

The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, regardless of whether it stands on the left or right or serves as the escort carrier for anyone, always adheres to its core competency—anti-submarine warfare.

After hanging up with Chief of Staff Ogasawara, I received another call from the Tokyo Aoyama Intelligence Bureau.

Chris Elizabeth, as the head of the intelligence team, hurriedly reported:

"Vance claims that the United States has effectively reached the brink of civil war. He believes that military insurgency has broken out in many states, especially the protests and strikes along the US-Mexico border."

"what?"

Li Xinghe rubbed his forehead, thinking, "Why is America still such a mess?"

"Subsequently, it is said that several blue states in the United States are mobilizing troops and refusing to accept the president's orders."

"what?"
