Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

In short, the US demands: curbing China's propaganda against Japan in all aspects and creating an extremely anti-China atmosphere. It tries to use various US committees, offices and large multinational companies in Japan to bypass the Japanese government to establish a set of public opinion screening and anti-China mechanisms, replicate the process of persecuting Chinese people in China in Japan, and make Japan the front line of anti-China.

This has been happening since 2012, so it is normal and part of the routine process.

The meeting was over, but Li Xinghe couldn't leave.

Enola explained in a low voice:

"We also have to go to Yokota Air Base to have a meeting with Rich Rupp, commander of the U.S. Forces in Japan and commander of the Fifth Air Force. You will also attend this time. In name, you are the representative of the American compatriots in Japan. You are a second lieutenant in the Army and you are of Japanese descent. You know everything."

Li Xinghe couldn't help but sigh that it was the Americans who really mobilized when they said they would.

But mobilization is one thing, and talking loudly is another matter, but whether to do it or not is another matter.

They then drove to Yokota U.S. Army Base.

At General Ricky Rupp's meeting, the old general had a dark face and did not speak throughout the whole process. His staff introduced the current situation to the officers and overseas Chinese representatives in Japan: "After discussions at the Pentagon, we decided to give a positive response to China's expansion in the Indo-Pacific. Based on the Littoral Combat Group plan, with the goal of establishing an East Asian version of NATO as the integration goal, the Indo-Pacific Command, the US Forces Command in Japan and South Korea, as well as the Taiwan Office and the Philippine Embassy, should all take this as the first strategic goal..."

Li Xinghe took notes on the spot.

The Americans are particularly good in this regard. When they are about to do something bad, they never hide it and will definitely publicize it through a loudspeaker around the world.

This is the first proactive military shift by the United States after six months of "East China Sea standoff".

After the US aircraft carrier fleet no longer had the courage to confront the Eastern power head-on, the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staff spent a full quarter studying and summarizing a China strategy that focused on defense and delaying time.

In the past, it was the aircraft carrier fleet that took the lead in threatening China, but now it is the aircraft carrier fleet that hides behind the island countries and regions in the first island chain and competes with China.

For the US military stationed in Japan, this is equivalent to an all-round strategic shift.

They no longer insist on large-scale fleet decisive battle deterrence and rapid air force counterattack, but instead carry out small-scale, decentralized countermeasure operations.

Li Xinghe, from a normal person's perspective, felt that this was a self-destruction of martial arts:

“This is simply the ultimate fantasy…”

"What did you say?"

The host turned to the speaker and immediately called on him.

Li Xinghe stood up, with a resolute look in his eyes and an upright posture, and spoke solemnly:

"I am speaking here on behalf of Japanese Americans. I want to say that the war in Ukraine is over, but Russia has not been able to achieve its goal of annexing all of Ukraine. We have strongly defeated Russian terrorists and still ensured Ukraine's national independence, honor and dignity. I believe that we can achieve the same victory in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines!"

Although it sounds sarcastic, the US's internal and external propaganda is "Since Ukraine was not completely annexed, the United States wins, wins, win."

Everyone applauded, indicating that you were right.

After the meeting, Li Xinghe left with Enola and Maria, taking two copies of the minutes.

"Why does the lieutenant general feel unhappy?" Maria said.

Enola said: "Of course the old man is angry. If the plan of the Littoral Combat Group is implemented, his Fifth Air Force will be disbanded and dispersed to the rear. The old man supports a large-scale decisive battle, but the Pentagon Joint Chiefs of Staff no longer dares to think so."

“I always feel it’s unreliable.”

Li Xinghe felt more and more that the Binhai Combat Group's plan was unreliable.

If the Air Force has to retreat, won't it become less and less combat-effective? When the People's Liberation Army lands on the island, they can be easily divided and annihilated?

"Yes, so I heard that the strategic opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the White House Office is actually to form an Asian NATO, so that the Japanese, South Korean and Philippine troops can fight on the front line against China. The future combat goal of our department is also to strive to promote the "South Korea-Japan Alliance" and the "South Korea-Japan Joint Command" and provoke conflicts between China and these countries. This is the direction of our efforts."

The three of them discussed with each other and drove away from Yokota Base.

At this time, the moon was already high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling.

Li Xinghe knew that although today's meeting was hasty, it also meant that Japan's position under the US strategy towards China would be re-changed. The original illusion of seemingly equal countries would be torn apart, and the reactionary and colonial nature of the Japanese government would be more clearly reflected.

And he, as a tentacle of Americans in Japan, will be more popular and more valued.

His Japanese ancestry will be extremely important, as the United States always has the habit of supporting its own people to take power in occupied areas.

Perhaps he is a more likely prime minister of Japan.

......

When the car was halfway there, before Kaname Shikamura could react, Kunifune Fumuya, the grandfather of the Kunifune sisters, was the first to come and make trouble.

He called me and said, "I'm at Kintei in Roppongi and I'd like to invite you to have dinner."

The author says:

Author's note: Thank you for your support. This chapter is about how the US military will formulate new countermeasures and strategies as it retreats step by step. This is also the current trend.

Chapter 193: Japan is a colony of the Yokota Shogunate

This day was destined to be a sleepless night.

At 6: in the evening, Li Xinghe and Enola Lin came to the mysterious Roppongi high-end restaurant together.

Li Xinghe introduced and walked in: "This is the ryotei, a place commonly known as 'ryotei politics'. It is similar to the 'small circle politics' in the United States."

"It seems that your network of relationships is more complicated than I thought." Enola curled her lips.

"Remember, don't report anything that happens afterwards, because this is our own political game." Li Xinghe gave her a look and let her experience it herself.

Enola put on her standard beauty fake smile, slightly adjusted her sleeves, and adjusted her micro-expressions, suddenly adding a bit of lover's charm.

The two of them came to the mysterious room as invited by Kunibe Fumuya. Although they had made preparations in advance, Li Xinghe still felt a little overwhelmed when he opened the door and saw a dozen kimono maids preparing various receptions inside.

"What are you thinking?"

Kunibe Fumuya, whose hair has turned gray, came out of the locker room in a yukata, looking very relaxed.

Li Xinghe nodded:

"I'm wondering if I should run faster. This place doesn't look normal."

Kunifune laughed heartily, patted Li Xinghe on the shoulder, and sat directly in the hot spring:

"Do you think I want to entertain you with Nyotaimori? No, no, no, that kind of erotic stuff will affect our communication. I want us to sit in the hot spring and talk while eating. Have you seen Nyotaimori in New York?"

"No, no, no, that's unhygienic. The so-called female body mori is nothing but a false culture of European and American erotic fantasy."

There is no Nyotaimori in Japan. This state of women hanging food all over their bodies originated from French brothels. It has been a sex toy for Europeans for thousands of years and was developed in the United States after World War II. I don't know who tied it to Japanese culture for marketing. It instantly became popular in major cities such as New York, Washington and Los Angeles, and turned into a naked erotic performance. Using foreign culture to cover up the European and American's own curiosity and pornography.

The Japanese were inexplicably accused of a "Nyotaimori" culture of curiosity, and in order to develop the tourism industry, they even started to register their own names, creating a perverted pornographic culture. Their behavior is much uglier than the registration of the Shangri-La place name by Zhongdian County in Yunnan.

When Li Xinghe was about to say something, two maids came over to change his clothes. They stripped him naked, put him in a bathrobe, and sent him to the hot spring pool. They massaged Li Xinghe skillfully, mixed hot spring spices, sprinkled flower petals on the pool, and some held tea cups, wine pots, and snacks, waiting for Li Xinghe's instructions and providing oral service.

"You've enjoyed it enough."

Li Xinghe was amazed by this, and said to the maid, "Please arrange some for my friend as well."

Enola rolled her eyes at him and went to the locker room to change.

Kunibe Fumiya was very interested in Enola's appearance and asked:

"girlfriend?"

“Business partners in the United States.”

"Then I'm relieved. I still really hope that you can take a step further with my daughter."

Guofenwen didn't know much about Li Xinghe's love life, but he didn't care much about women's attitudes. He said directly:

"I asked you to come here this time because of the Pentagon and the United States. You were summoned to the embassy and Yokota Base during the day, right? Your identity is deeper than I thought."

Li Xinghe knew that these things could not escape the attention of the old monster, but he did not try to cover it up. After all, he had the dual identities of a Japanese public security officer and a US CIA agent, so he could explain it anyway.

He evaded the question:

"Why do you ask?"

Kunifune also asked the maid to go into the water and hold her in his arms, and asked her to drink for him, and then explained:

"What businessmen call politics is getting close to power. To get close to power, you must accurately predict who will win. You can get close to power, so I will get close to you. But my family lacks younger generations, so I have higher expectations for you. Let me test you first. Who do you think has the strongest support in this election?"

“Ishiba Shigeru of the Liberal Democratic Party.”

"Do you think Ishiba Shigeru will win this election?"

"will not."

Li Xinghe explained skillfully:

"Because he doesn't fit in and wants to be a leader, many people are blocking his way. They have been blocking him since the time of Shinzo Abe. He would rather have a bunch of useless prime ministers than him, so he can only worry."

It's no secret.

Kunibe Fumiyoshi laughed out loud: "Yes, this is the political rule in Japan."

Japan has a special political structure, where the leaders of the opposition parties and the ruling party have high voices, but they just can't get elected, because the close integration of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Japanese bureaucracy has formed a political structure like "Yes, Prime Minister" where the ministers are just decorations and the vice ministers actually do the work.

This pattern was destroyed by the opposition party after it came to power during the offensive and defensive battle between the Liberal Democratic Party and the opposition party, which dissolved the Vice Ministers' Meeting of the Japanese government bureaucracy. Just as Margaret Thatcher destroyed the British bureaucracy, the Japanese bureaucracy was thus in disarray.

But who is more unreliable, the bureaucrats or the parliamentarians and ministers? This is really a thought-provoking question. The Japanese have been stuck in this black pit for decades, and they are still repeatedly broken by the bureaucrats and parliamentarians. Every time they think one side is more unreliable, the other side will pull a bigger pile of shit.

At this time, Enola had changed into a bathrobe and came out.

She went straight into Li Xinghe's bathtub and leaned against Li Xinghe.

Although it looked erotic, there was something hard deep inside her thighs, and Li Xinghe knew that she had hidden a pistol.

"In any case, the only party that won in the end was the Liberal Democratic Party. But what did you want me to do, Uncle Kuni?"

Li Xinghe continued to test.

Unless the LDP is in a mess and the internal fighting is so intense that everyone is pulling each other’s legs, the opposition parties have no chance at all. And every leader of the opposition parties and opposition factions within the LDP will basically break down quickly after taking office and then leave smoothly, throwing this mess back to the LDP.

The ruling characteristics of the Liberal Democratic Party can be described as "because only I can handle this mess, so this toilet can only be put into my big ass." If anyone competes with them, they will join forces with the bureaucrats to drive away their opponents. For example, when the Fukushima nuclear crisis broke out, the Democratic Party of Japan was in power, and the Liberal Democratic Party blocked it in the Senate. The bureaucrats were sloppy and refused to cooperate, and the Tokyo Electric Power Company made trouble, turning the nuclear accident into a huge crisis, which even broke the then Prime Minister Naoto Kan.

They were ruthless even when persecuting their own people. Tanaka Kakuei's only daughter, Tanaka Makiko, was repeatedly driven out of the political center because she was not sociable and did not allow bureaucrats to interfere in government affairs. Her political career was completely ruined many years ago.

Kunifune smiled again.

He gradually recognized Li Xinghe's personal abilities and vision, and also understood why Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei chose him as her future support.

He hugged the maid and said loudly:

"Is Japan today a democratic country? No. Is it a free country? No. Is it a left-wing socialist country? No."

"After years of study and practice, I have understood it. The so-called Japan today is nothing more than the Shogunate of Yokota, with the United States as the emperor and the commander-in-chief of the US military as the shogun of Japan. Japan is a colony of the United States, nothing more than that. We are the people of the colony, so why should we pay attention to meaningless elections? Can the political parties in the election break the rules of American hegemony represented by the Shogun of Yokota?"

Li Xinghe applauded repeatedly.

As expected of someone who has done business in China, Japan and the US for ten years, his summary is spot on.

The reason why Japan's political structure is so awkward is, to put it bluntly, the root of MacArthur's actions. No matter which party is in power in Japan, it can only act according to the established American rules and the East Asian geopolitical structure, and can only serve as the East Asian bridgehead of the United States. This has led to the fate of Japan's left-wing parties coming to power one after another, and turning right and turning black one after another, and failing.

Because the American general stationed at Yokota Air Base is the one with ultimate power, and the Japanese prime minister is just a change of appearance.

This is the real elephant in the room, but the Japanese are turning a blind eye to it, as if a super-giant Cthulhu monster is floating over Tokyo, and every Japanese person who looks up will only say: "The sun is so big. We are so free."

Kunibe Fumi also summed it up for himself:

"So, for Japanese businessmen, being close to power means being close to the Yokota U.S. Military Headquarters in Japan and close to the Yokota Shogun."

When he spoke in a roundabout way until here, Li Xinghe realized that he wanted to get closer to the United States through him.

After drinking a glass of wine, the old man lay in the hot spring and said:

"Xiao Xinghe, do you know? Business and politics are like two flowers growing from one root. Some businesses rely on trade, some rely on the courts, and some rely on the government. If you get a seat on a key government committee, or get a consultant badge in a key department, do you know what that means? It means political status, government orders, enormous wealth, and a company that becomes rich overnight."

As a successful businessman who was born after World War II and grew up in the economic wave, he experienced the money-power politics built by Kakuei Tanaka in the first half of his life, and experienced the bursting of the Japanese bubble and the three major American invasions in the second half of his life. As a director of Toyota Motor and Marubeni Corporation, Kunibe Fumiya has a deep understanding of politics.

So he said:

"We old, decaying people have already been destined. But you are different. I am optimistic about your career in the government because you represent the power of the future. You will definitely be able to get close to Yokota's American shogun."

Li Xinghe finally took a deep breath.

Kunibe Bunya, these old-fashioned Japanese are really twisted.

You can just say that you are optimistic about my future. If you want to help me, why don't you just give me money generously?

Just then, the doorbell rang and a female figure wearing a kimono and carrying a handbag walked in.

The steam from the hot springs is floating, making it seem unreal.

"Is it Miss Kokubun?"

But Li Xinghe knew that it was Guofen Yueya.

Since everyone has become an alliance, Li Xinghe sat up straight and relaxed.

Who knew that Kunifune said:
