In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

Chapter 148 The Yuan Family, Super Landlords

"My grandfather was the first captain of the Yamato," Gen Shinji said, and Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, his lips twitching almost imperceptibly.

"Is it the Yamato, the ship that was said to be unsinkable?"

Gen Shinji nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, that's just the self-indulgence of a bunch of lunatics."

Li Xiao almost lost his composure. The Yamato was just too famous; the strangeness of this warship rivaled that of the Osaka Division.

It must be said that the Ichiwa was indeed the world's largest warship, weighing 7 tons and displacing 72800 tons, with 460...

With its millimeter main guns, it was indeed the largest battleship in the world at the time, and was once mythologized by the Japanese, who claimed that it would defeat the United States in the Pacific.

Back then, the entire nation's resources were used to support the Yamato-class battleship. The entire ship was fed beef, mutton, abalone, and other delicacies until they were almost sick of it, and ice cream was completely provided for them.

Not only that, the officers were also provided with pubs, hot springs, and dance halls for their enjoyment, and they had an abundance of women to choose from. At that time, the Showa era was a period of poverty and hardship, and these women lived worse than dogs.

Being assigned to the Yamato to serve as a prostitute for these naval idiots was a dream they never dared to imagine. They usually ate plums with their meals and had never seen such a variety of delicacies.

The Yamato was practically a paradise that fulfilled all the fantasies of a simple life. Even the lowest-ranking privates received more yen than the army's idiots, and not only that, they also took food and other things home with them.

With daily routine training, you can find such a good job without even having to go into battle.

Despite such extravagance, the Yamato's treatment continued to improve, demonstrating the immense expectations the crew had for this warship.

However, no one expected that the Yamato, which was touted as unsinkable, would be bombed to smithereens by a few American warplanes before it could be deployed to the Pacific to play a real role.

I really thought I was holding in a huge amount, but it turned out to be just a bunch of watery urine, which was really hard to bear.

However, the fact that Gen Shinji's family was able to become the first captain of the Yamato shows that they were incredibly powerful and influential.

"But I have a question: why was he the first captain? Did your grandfather do something wrong and get fired by the military?"

"No, it's just that my grandfather saw that this warship was just for show. It's good as a decoration, but if a war really breaks out, it will only be destroyed. Because it doesn't have a standard fleet, the military and government officials arrogantly believe that a super warship is enough to clear any obstacles." Yuan Zhensi glanced at Li Xiao and snorted, "You don't need to hold it in so hard. Just laugh if you want to. I also think that ship is really unreliable."

Was my facial expression that obvious?

Li Xiao touched his cheek suspiciously; he didn't seem to be smiling.

"Did your grandfather just quit?"

"No, he sold the captain's job for 100 billion yen, and then led our entire clan to sell off all our assets and go abroad. He thought the cherry blossoms might be turned upside down." Gen Shinji glanced at Li Xiao with a strange expression, seemingly wondering how he could ask such a stupid question.

Is this even possible? Li Xiao felt truly shocked today. Selling his military post, he's really living a life of luxury. But compared to the Americans, it seems the older brother can't laugh at the younger brother.

"Your grandpa's pretty awesome, to be honest," Li Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Luckily he ran fast, otherwise the little boy would have come."

The old Japanese soldier was indeed sharp-eyed; if he hadn't escaped in time, the subsequent insubordination would have been a serious problem for him, and at 45...

There are two more deep-sea bombs this year. If they happen to be in the affected area, they might become nuclear weapons.

"You certainly have a sharp tongue."

Gen Shinji remained expressionless, his tone icy.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Who told your brilliant strategist to think of bombing someone else's port?" Li Xiao shrugged innocently before asking again, "So your grandfather had been planning to use the Yamato captain as a springboard to achieve his goal of escaping unscathed, right?"

"Pretty much. Cherry blossoms are too small. It's pointless to fight tooth and nail over such a small plot of land." Gen Shinji kicked off his slippers, swinging his delicate feet. "Back then, when my grandfather took the family abroad, he only did one thing: buy land."

"Buying land?"

"Yes," Gen Shinji nodded. "They've bought a lot of land in various countries around the world; it's about the size of five Seattles now."

She slowly extended her palm, her gaze serene and profound.

How many?

Li Xiao was instantly stunned. Five Seattles? In the past, when the news reported that Japan was buying up land around the world, Li Xiao thought it was just a small-scale operation. He never expected that someone had already begun global colonization decades ago. No wonder Immigration Director Pete didn't dare to touch her. How many people did such a large landowner support? The number was terrifying.

"Then why doesn't your family rebel, overthrow the Japanese imperial family, and sit on the throne themselves? I don't think that would be difficult."

"Because my grandfather is a conservative person, he still looks up at his homeland from time to time, and even secretly got a few pictures from previous dynasties to remember it."

"What about Hirohito?" Li Xiao's face turned cold instantly. He still remembered that bastard who was MacArthur's son very well.

"No, it wasn't him. Grandpa believed that it was his misguided guidance that led the country into an irreversible abyss. My grandfather advocated peace above all else; if something could be settled with money, there was no need to resort to force," Gen Shinji said, taking a deep breath. "Just kidding, the old man actually really likes Miyazaki Hayao's movies, especially Howl's Moving Castle."

Old-school anime/manga fan?

Li Xiao's expression shifted from sunny to cloudy, his lips pressed together as hard as iron bars. It was truly comical that a Japanese soldier over a hundred years old still enjoyed watching anime movies.

"This is truly an eye-opener for me," Li Xiao said slowly, his hands behind his back, with a hint of emotion. It seemed that the women around him were all incredibly powerful. First, there was the daughter of the three-star princess, and now there was the granddaughter of a super-rich landlord. It felt like the prize pool was still accumulating. What if a Saudi Arabian princess suddenly appeared? That would be truly unbelievable.

However, Li Xiao was just expressing his feelings. Perhaps he was a male succubus, otherwise how could he have so many high-quality women in his life?

"Cousin, you have to work hard, or you'll end up pooping your pants when you stand next to someone else," Li Xiao thought to herself.

"Alright, after all that build-up, it's time to get down to business, Miss Gen Shinji." Li Xiao nodded slightly. "You probably have other things to discuss, right?"

"Just don't sink the island. You can do whatever you want with the rest. It's none of my business anyway," Gen Shinji said slowly after a moment's thought.

"Why would I sink an island?" Li Xiao was completely baffled, utterly unable to understand Yuan Zhensi's thought process. "I don't have that ability. You really overestimate me."

"I've seen the prequel to Superman. Superman could even move Apokolips. Even if you can't now, you'll definitely reach that level in the future. You're a Kryptonian, and you'll keep getting stronger by sunbathing."

Genji looked extremely serious, so close that Li Xiao could see the glint in the woman's eyes.
