Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

He only slept for 3 hours. He still had important business to attend to today. Zhang Xiaoqian had invited him to visit the Synthetic Task Force.

When they arrived at the Joint Operations Headquarters at 5:30 in the morning, several generals who had stayed up all night were joking around:

"Boss, I heard you were sexually harassed by a fan?"

Li Xinghe's decision was quite humorous; he said:

"Just add some clothes to that painting and the problem will be solved. Let's be healthier, shall we?"

That's his current thought.

Let's bypass the problem and not make a decision yet.

We can't say this isn't a crime, allowing these increasingly unruly fans to run wild and repost all sorts of images without restraint. Nor can we simply condemn this kind of trashy image creation that tries to portray Li Xinghe as approachable.

It wouldn't be good if people remembered Li Xinghe as a warlord who beat civilians with a military baton.

Of course, we can't immediately defend them; let the unfortunate fans spend a day in detention to sober up first. Is graffiti on an aircraft carrier something a normal person would even think of?

Then the organization and size of the task force were discussed.

Each task force consists of approximately 3500 people, with 2200 combat personnel, essentially a combined arms brigade split in two.

Lin Youzi unfolded the compilation table, and Zhang Xiaoqian pointed to the table and said:

"Each task force consists of two combined arms battalions, each with three Type 16 assault gun batteries, each with 25 vehicles. There are also two infantry fighting vehicle batteries, tentatively using Russian-made Btr infantry fighting vehicles, with 20 vehicles per battery. In addition, there is an artillery battalion with self-propelled artillery batteries and anti-tank missile batteries, an air defense reconnaissance battery with anti-aircraft missiles, radar and reconnaissance equipment, an operations command battalion carrying informationized troops and organizing operations, and finally a service support battery responsible for maintenance, field treatment and food supply."

Those familiar with it might find it somewhat familiar; it looks a bit like an enhanced version of Stryker's Brigade.

Yes, it's somewhat similar to that thing. But it's mainly based on China's medium combined arms brigades, which are much better than the Stryker brigades. At least the Type 16 wheeled assault vehicle and the BTR infantry fighting vehicle are truly reliable and usable. Furthermore, the self-propelled artillery, the HQ-5 field air defense system, and the PLA's related information-based command equipment are all superior to the US military's organizational structure.

Zhang Xiaoqian rubbed his hands together and began asking for money:

"Overall, it's a 4+2 layout, with four battalions and two companies, making it a very cost-effective semi-combined brigade. The twelve combined arms task forces spread out in a line represent approximately 4.2 elite troops. The cost of reorganization is quite staggering. Even if all existing armored units and self-propelled artillery can be reused, the cost of reorganization and new equipment procurement would still be around 4 trillion yen, including various missiles, radars, and information equipment."

Joint operations forces are really expensive, so expensive that Li Xinghe is almost considering giving up. 4 trillion yuan is enough to build four more aircraft carriers.

"Fortunately, everything was covered by the Indian prince's compensation."

Did the Indians lose money?

Chapter 956: Green Dam Girl Li Xinghe, Heading Towards Freedom (3700 words)

6 points in the early hours.

Inside the Joint Operations Headquarters, with the curtains drawn, a few people were secretly discussing top-secret national defense issues in the dark.

On the blackboard, a vast United Nations territory was drawn, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to Antarctica and covering the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean.

Lin Youzi pointed to the current military organization and station locations:

"Twelve combined arms brigade task forces, twelve heavy mechanized divisions, plus three Marine brigades, can basically guarantee the current main difficulties area."

Zhang Xiaoqian then explained:

"In principle, when dealing with external threats, the Marine Corps brigade will be at the outermost defensive position, with task forces and mechanized divisions being deployed in rotation as needed. When attacking and striking the enemy, the task force will participate in amphibious assaults, followed by the Marine Corps brigade, while the heavy mechanized division will be responsible for delivering the final blow and knocking the enemy down."

Of course, if possible, 24 heavily armed combined arms brigades could also conquer the world.

The main problem is poverty; they can't afford the enormous costs of full-scale integration. Even if they could afford it by draining the Indian prince's resources... the Indians wouldn't agree.

Several staff officers explained the current Army defense strategy:

"In principle, the task force should be stationed at key transportation routes, ready to coordinate with the navy at any time and be deployed to key positions. As a combined arms force, it should be characterized by rapid mobilization, accurate strikes, and ruthless attacks."

"The main heavy mechanized divisions are stationed in slightly less important locations, but in places that are easy to access by sea, to conceal their deterrent effect."

So the Marines were relegated to the fourth rank, crouching on the outermost trenches. The 1st Brigade was currently in Guenya-Gumari, the 2nd Brigade was along the thousands of miles of coastline from Hokkaido to Alaska, and the 3rd Brigade was stationed in Port Moresby, Papua, providing the outermost line of defense in the open ocean. Task forces were stationed along major international shipping lanes, while heavy divisions lay hidden further back.

Overall, with the world's largest combined air force fleet and the third largest aircraft carrier battle group, completing the construction of the defense perimeter is not a problem.

However, while a physical defense perimeter can be established quickly, a cultural one is much more difficult to achieve.

When Lin Mulan arrived at the operations headquarters with her brisk figure, she whispered to Li Xinghe:

"There's a new development in your semi-nude graffiti incident."

Li Xinghe didn't really care at first, he said:

"Don't exaggerate like that. Society may not understand what's going on in this small circle, but I can be tolerant."

Lin Mulan shook her head slightly:

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

This put Li Xinghe in a somewhat difficult position, and he asked in return:

"Are there signs that Americans are involved?"

If the Americans interfere, then we must resolutely repel them.

Lin Mulan reminded Li Xinghe:

"It seems that countries in Europe and America have reacted. However, their main attack is on the problem caused by Japan's lax art censorship. You know, political and ideological censorship takes precedence. They can't do anything to you on the battlefield, so they start chanting sutras."

Xiao Li fell into deep thought.

This is the direction of development that Li Xinghe hates the most.

What may seem like a trivial matter can be elevated to the level of attacking a nation if someone wants to sensationalize it. This is a unique skill of the ideological standard-bearers of Western countries, who have thoroughly mastered the Marxist approach to Western culture. This is a common tactic used by Europeans; they couldn't defeat the United States and the Soviet Union back then, but they still knew how to torment people with their own rhetoric.

Zhang Xiaoqian sat down and sighed:

"Right now in Europe, mainstream websites don't even allow access to borderline content." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)

This is the power of European ideology taking the lead. If they say it's not okay, it's not okay; the content will be censored. From now on, everyone needs to return to a more conservative approach. The whole world is turning to the right; people should go to church if they need to, and understand politics if they need to. The liberalism imported from the US is no longer effective.

It's funny to say, but the current center of freedom is East Asia.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense for the United Nations to move to Lanfangfu. According to many liberals, the United Nations is simply moving towards freedom on its own.

Lin Mulan reveals some inside stories about Europe:

"Don't underestimate their political intentions. European countries also want to take advantage of this content moderation opportunity to continue to reach out to Chinese and American social media platforms."

Because Europe has virtually no homegrown internet software; it's almost entirely a battleground between Chinese and American platforms. To secure this funding, Europeans have gone to great lengths, painstakingly emulating India, constantly resorting to fines instead of taxes, relentlessly pressuring American companies for more money. Even so, they still hope to expand oversight of the content on these uncontrolled platforms. The issue is merely a starting point.

Although I don't own an internet company myself, using antitrust as a pretext to impose fines instead of taxes, and using sexual issues to intervene and regulate, are also tactics Europe uses to forcibly control American social media platforms.

As for the issue of Japanese industry audits, that's an old problem that can't be solved.

Since the MacArthur reforms during World War II, Japan's control over the grassroots, local governments, and various industries has been greatly weakened. Those who make adult films can gradually transform themselves into adult film producers who engage in sexual acts with explicit content. Manga and anime, relying on the uninhibited social atmosphere, have also produced various works and hentai anime. These things, considered gray areas in many European countries, are rampant and unregulated in Japan.

Banning semi-nude graffiti would mean banning the C115 comic convention, and would also significantly impact Japan's core industries of manga, anime, and doujinshi, requiring a new severance based on the current political censorship. This drastic measure would severely damage related Japanese industries, which are already struggling. If Li Xinghe were to kill them off, the spittle of hundreds of millions of young people in East Asia could fill the moat surrounding the Imperial Palace.

Li Xinghe slammed his fist on the table, rejecting the noisy chanting of scriptures from Europe and America:

"If I listen to them and ban this and that, would I still be myself?"

Li Xinghe had no objection to banning AV, but he couldn't just obediently follow orders from Western ideographists who made a few pronouncements in the newspapers.

Lin Youzi gave Li Xinghe a common solution:

"If that doesn't work, how about we make another movie? One that's highbrow, lowbrow, and artistic, while also being politically relevant, to cover up this controversy. At least we need to ensure the stability of C115 and the Japanese manga industry."

Using the ambiguity of art, they managed to quell this increasingly out-of-control public opinion storm.

Just like Li Xinghe's personal opinion, there shouldn't be direct punishment, but we can't completely ignore it either; we should let this storm pass for now. We should ensure that East Asian fans have new anime, hentai, and erotic content to watch every month.

European ideology is like a raging flood, poisoning the youth of East Asian countries, while Li Xinghe aims to be a brave green dam, ensuring everyone has the right to view erotic images!

Lee Hsing-ha is a morally bankrupt and unreliable prime minister; it would be too easy for him to cover up the scandal with some low-budget films. If the films aren't sensational enough, they could film the secrets of Lee Hsing-ha's time working in the Cabinet Office. For example, they could expose the $700 billion debt that the US forced Japan to extend, which was supposedly used to pay for over a hundred F-35s, but even though the F-35CNs produced by Lee Hsing-ha himself have arrived, the promised aircraft haven't been delivered.

Even though Li Xinghe himself facilitated this for the United States, it doesn't stop him from adapting the story and shifting the blame to Sanae Takashi. She would definitely be very happy to take the blame for Li Xinghe and shoulder the responsibility for the $700 billion debt loss.

Li Xinghe nodded and said:

"I'm fine with making movies. But... ugh... I hate being politically trapped. How about this, put yourself in their shoes, let's send a bunch of Tsarist Russians to Western Ukraine to stir up trouble, let them attack the Poles, physically criticize the local Western Ukrainian separatists, kill a few neo-Nazis, and preferably a few Polish border guards. While we're at it, shut down the gas and oil pipelines for a few days, and raise the cost of living for Europeans."

Lin Youzi smiled after hearing this:

"Haha, this can be considered a battle for cultural guidance."

Zhang Xiaoqian scratched his head in annoyance. He didn't want to get involved in the Ukraine issue now, as it was already a powder keg for the next European war. But he couldn't care less at this point; he had to strike hard to shut the Europeans up.

Europe and America are used to considering themselves the world leader. When they see such a small disturbance in Tokyo, they habitually want to intensify their ideological efforts against Li Xinghe. So Li Xinghe has no choice but to intensify his efforts against Europe in a physical sense.

Li Xinghe wanted to see whether the weapon of criticism was stronger, or the weapon of criticism was stronger.

……

The idea of ​​making a big-budget movie and ruthlessly controlling the buzz was quickly sent by Li Xinghe to Zhongbai Film and Television Co., Ltd., aiming to fire the first shot in the public opinion campaign against the dominance of Western ideology in guiding culture.

Then things went slightly wrong.

Although the nominee owner wasn't Li Xinghe, the company was controlled by Lu Yuchi, Hua Yingmei, and Kokubun Makabe, among others. Hua Yingmei had just been forced to read the 'Sexy Bible' in the hospital; how could she possibly let go of this perfect opportunity for revenge?

Therefore, Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei, who was involved in the entire process of resolving the $700 billion US debt crisis, immediately brought up the actual situation at that time for artistic creation.

In this script, Li Xinghe plays a young man who stumbles into the depths of politics and is unwittingly drawn into a $700 billion debt crisis. He becomes the personal translator and sex object of a traitorous, sexy female prime minister. During the process of translation and negotiation, he uncovers a massive conspiracy of treason, in which $700 billion in US debt is simply abandoned and bribed to the United States. Several female characters appear throughout the story: foreign female economists, business owners, politicians, secretaries, bureaucrats, and spies, one after another. This thoroughly immerses Li Xinghe in the role.

As for the length, Lu Yuchi Huayingmei believes that one film is not enough, so she will make a trilogy first.

The first installment features a female prime minister as the main antagonist; the second whitewashes the antagonist; and the third is the epitome of Japanese fantasy, with Japan expelling American interference. It would require at least 20 top Japanese drama actresses; Hua Yingmei is determined to keep Li Xinghe entertained to the point of exhaustion. Let alone three installments, with a few more Japanese drama writers, thirty installments wouldn't be a problem.

So, when Remi Tsutsumi, who was in charge of finding actresses to participate, sent Lee Sung-ha the list of candidates for review, Lee Sung-ha was completely bewildered:

"What? You hired 20 actresses?"

Reiji Tsutsumi's puzzled answer:

"What? 20? It's 200! Didn't they say they were going to make a political spy epic, a 'major anti-espionage film of the year,' 'the first bullet fired at the US,' and 'the first shot fired by the Asia-Pacific alliance against Western interference'? They even said it was going to be a trilogy of movies with an investment of hundreds of billions of yen. Now that film resources are so scarce, everyone in the industry who's known, whether Japanese or Korean, has come. Even married actresses have come. They're shameless, cheating on their husbands."

"Ok?"

Li Xinghe first raised a big question mark, then angrily retorted: "Don't make it sound like I sleep with every female star I see. I'm pure!"

Li Xinghe is truly innocent; so far, he has only had some connection with Haru and Nozomi Sasaki, and hasn't touched anyone else.

Reimi Tsutsumi stuck out her tongue, not believing a single one:

"Really? I'd like to believe it, but nobody outside does."

The rumors circulating outside are all incredibly true, claiming that Li Xinghe in the film and television industry both sells his body to the audience and profits from it (referring to his relationships with actresses).

Li Xinghe was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Chapter 957: Wasteland Ukraine, Mass Wedding, 500,000 Hybrids ( )

As expected, an explosion was heard in the port of Odessa late at night.

The local residents were indifferent, knowing it was the Chinese clearing out the remaining gangs. Soon after, the roar of tanks filled the air; T-62s and T-72s engaged in a wheelchair duel in the streets. Many former soldiers recognized the tanks immediately. The subsequent explosions confirmed their belief that anti-tank missiles were reaping the kills.

Soldiers of the 2nd Coastal Combat Brigade, wearing American-style night-vision helmets and goggles, were wiping out the "Big Dali Gang" in the city under the cover of darkness. The operation went relatively smoothly because the enemy was all inside a single building. Hu Zhantian then ordered a giant bomb to send the entire building flying.

The Ukrainian veterans on the other side certainly didn't expect that this invader was no ordinary person; they would be using heavy weapons.

The next day.

Hu Zhantian, leading several thousand soldiers from the Coastal Combat Brigade, stood in the port of Odessa and raised the national flags of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) countries and China, announcing to the city of Odessa:

"The Asia-Pacific-Odessa Port Governance Zone has been established! From now on, this area will be under our management."

The meaning is clear: in this city of one million people, both the underground gangs and the above-ground government have been killed by Hu Zhantian's troops. Now Hu Zhantian is the war boss of Odessa, so he wants to declare his sovereignty.

The residents of Odessa readily accepted this situation.

What? Invasion of sovereignty?

nonexistent.

If they could defeat the local gangs and kill the veterans, the Kyiv government would be eager to award the Odessa Governance District a grand medal made of 24K pure plastic.

Collaborating with Li Xinghe would allow for large-scale smuggling and transshipment of Chinese goods and Ukrainian grain, generating substantial profits for the Kyiv government both publicly and privately. However, the local veteran gangs were the biggest obstacle, making it extremely difficult to collect even a single penny.

Therefore, after it was confirmed that Hu Zhantian would hand over 15% of Odessa's trade revenue to the Kyiv government, Hu Zhantian was immediately granted the title of "Odessa Governor" by the Kyiv government, serving as the military administrator of the entire region.

Afterwards, Hu Zhantian held a group wedding.

The main thing was to marry the wives of the veterans who were killed to the employees he brought with him and the new recruits of the Second Coastal Brigade. More than 2600 women were married off in one go, and they also brought more than 1,000 children with them, half men and half women.

Even a wife you kidnapped is still a wife, and besides, without local connections, many things can't be done.

So killing the local veterans and gangsters and seizing their houses, wives, and children was perfectly reasonable, because this was the survival rule in Eastern Europe from before the Mongols to the present day. Even the locals didn't see anything wrong with it; were these orphans and widows supposed to starve to death? Marrying the newly arrived conquerors was the most logical outcome.
