Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Li Xinghe just wants to reinvent the wheel and waste the funds of the US military and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

By the time this aircraft carrier, which took several years to design, was about to go into production, Li Xinghe would have probably already supported Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei to become the Prime Minister of Japan. By then, the aircraft carrier project, which took several years and cost tens of billions of dollars, had just begun construction.

There is a high probability that it cannot be manufactured.

Even if it was built, by then the President of the Republic of Japan, Li Xinghe, would be sitting on the aircraft carrier to welcome the Chinese fleet.

Chapter 4300: Major Li Xinghe, Joining Gongjin Jiro, Look at My Face ( words)

For various military contractors in the United States and Japan, things have been like heaven lately.

A huge amount of money with a total value of 250 billion US dollars poured into the market, and countless middlemen were like flies, sniffing out the slightest news everywhere.

Admiral Jacqueline was eager to establish his own air transport detachment, so after making Li Xinghe jump up and down for a few days, in December in the winter of Japan, when the 12 budget bill had already begun to be torn apart in the Japanese parliament, the Joint Procurement Budget Meeting on where to spend the annual budget was officially held.

The meeting was held neither at Yokota Base nor at the Japanese Ministry of Defense, but in a three-story intelligence building temporarily set up at Aoyama Army Base, symbolizing the new normal in US-Japan military cooperation.

Chris and Nan Haonu from the intelligence station set up the meeting site under Li Xinghe's command. Li Xinghe also took out the bug that Nan Haonu wanted to hide in the pen and knocked on her head:

"be careful."

There's no need to take risks at such an important meeting.

Soon, Admiral Jacqueline returned with a beachy atmosphere. She went on vacation to the coast for 2 days and left all the affairs to Li Xinghe.

As it turned out, Li Xinghe did a great job and Admiral Jacqueline only needed to sign.

She hugged Li Xinghe happily and gave him compliments without asking for any money:

"Good job, boy. Great job. When are we going to move into this building?"

Li Xinghe smiled:

"It will be soon. Once the handover between me and the Army Major General is completed, the Qingshan Headquarters will be immediately constructed. This information building will serve as a temporary station."

Soon after, people from the Joint Staff Headquarters arrived one after another, and the new Chief of Staff Kenichiro Nagumo led the team and sat on the other side.

"I think this can be called, What's Worth Buying?" Li Xinghe played a Chinese meme. This is a shopping recommendation app, but the Japanese obviously couldn't understand it, while the Americans took it as a shopping advertisement meme and laughed exaggeratedly.

The meeting officially begins.

The Japanese side all discovered that there was a kid sitting in the center of the scene, taking advantage of the power of others.

Thanks to the kindness of Vice President Vance and the grace of Admiral Jacqueline, Li Xinghe was able to sit at the US-Japan negotiation table and conduct higher-level strategic discussions as a major's secretary.

The Japanese staff looked at each other and asked:

"he is..."

Admiral Jacqueline strongly supports Li Xinghe:

"This is Major G, who is in charge of the headquarters' logistics operations and is my secretary."

Nanyun Kenichiro was shocked.

He also felt a little regretful. When Li Xinghe wanted to join the officer corps through the back door, he thought the other party was outrageous and declined. But if he was able to interfere with the operation of the US military in Japan, then this refusal might lead to a huge price.

Little did he know that the expression was written on his face, and Li Xinghe on the opposite side understood it immediately.

Old guy, you say you are very proud, but in your heart you are still very afraid of Americans.

Li Xinghe stood up and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." Nanyun Kenichiro shook hands passively with a blank face.

Li Xinghe shook hands with several aides and initially established an impression of himself as a strong person in their minds.

The first step of the meeting was for the United States to feed the dogs meat.

Japan has paid such a huge price, so the United States should give Japan some face for surrendering, right?

Therefore, the US side showed its sincerity:

"We will allow the Japanese military to deploy its amphibious rapid response brigade in Darwin, Australia, for regular rotation training. At the same time, we will consider incorporating Japan into the military coordination of the AUKUS alliance at a deeper level."

When the news came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

Li Xinghe almost fell off his chair.

This news sounds outrageous at first. Is it in accordance with Zhou Li to let the defeated country deploy troops on the territory of the Five Eyes Alliance?

If you think about it carefully, it is even more outrageous, because during World War II, Darwin Port was the front line of the war that was heavily bombed by the Japanese army. The place that the Japanese bombed crazily but failed to take was now peacefully entered. Australia is a fanatical convert to the United States, and even allows the mad dog that bit it in the past to be stationed on its own land.

If Japan is more like a dog of the United States, then Australia is the stupid son of the neighboring Wang family who regards the United States as his own father. This country is very concerned about its lonely identity as a frontier of the white world. It desperately tries to integrate into the American order and pays blood in exchange for the so-called "respect of the white world" and to "defend the white world" to move itself. In fact, Britain and France don't care about it, and the United States just PUAs it as a meat shield for itself.

"We...I, I, I..."

Kenichiro Nanyun was so surprised that he was speechless.

The entire scene was filled with surprise and cheers from the Japanese.

"Great!" The Japanese staff officers pumped their fists.

They feel respected!

Everyone was laughing and clapping, so Li Xinghe joined in the applause.

But when he thought about it more deeply, it was really funny.

Japan does not have any so-called amphibious quick reaction brigade. In fact, this kind of force similar to the US Marine Corps is a newly built unit in Japan, called the Amphibious Mobile Regiment. This unit actually has only one transport ship, some 120mm mortars, AAV7 amphibious mobile vehicles, and 4 battalions with a total of about 3000 soldiers. Whether it is 120 mortars or AAV7, they are at least 50 years old antiques, older than most soldiers. The only transport ship is a newly built unarmed ship (manufactured to civilian standards) for island troop transportation.

Li Xinghe whispered to Nan Haonv behind him: "America is indeed not short of elites."

Sending such a group of useless civil servants to Australia in exchange for huge political compromises from Japan and tens of billions of dollars in funds to serve the United States' Asia strategy.

The person behind the scenes is so smart and has accurately grasped the Japanese people's vain and flattering psychology.

When it comes to specific military purchases, Li Xinghe accurately grasps the Japanese and takes the initiative to propose:

"The first procurement target of this department is the C-2 transport aircraft produced by Kawasaki Heavy Industries."

Although the C-2 transport aircraft does not look as good as the American ones, at least Kawasaki Heavy Industries can provide decent production capacity. The cost of the aircraft is 140 billion yen per aircraft, which is quite affordable and reliable compared to the US price.

Of course, the problem is that although Kawasaki Heavy Industries has not closed the C-2 production line, they are actually dawdling on this aircraft, which can drag on for many years. Moreover, this aircraft has had many accidents, so Li Xinghe only buys it, but will never sit on it.

The unit price of this aircraft is 140 billion yen, and four aircraft have been temporarily confirmed.

Then came the main direction of fund expenditure. Li Xinghe deliberately guided:

"Why don't we consider starting with drone carriers? Start from the path of drone carriers to regular aircraft carriers and study better combat strategies. When the drone carrier is designed and built successfully, we can consider building regular aircraft carriers for the US-Japan joint forces. In the name of the United States, this is not an offensive weapon."

There is no other reason why it is specifically directed here.

Whether it is Japan or the United States, they have zero experience in manufacturing drone carriers. It would take at least 10 years to start from scratch. Moreover, the drones they produce are expensive and inefficient, and are not as good as domestic products.

At this time, an American officer arranged by Li Xinghe protested: "No, this is unreasonable."

"There's nothing unreasonable. The Chinese have already ranked their regular aircraft carrier at number 5. And Japan's two light aircraft carriers are not as good as their Type 076. We need to equip Japan with more important military forces."

"Then I request that the research and development should be under the control of this department. I request the establishment of a directly affiliated aircraft carrier research institute."

"I agree." Admiral Jacqueline smiled and acted with Li Xinghe.

At this time, the Americans thought that Li Xinghe was a good actor, and the Japanese praised Li Xinghe from the bottom of their hearts as being one of their own. Nanyun Kenichiro even felt guilty.

He just wanted to be a Self-Defense Force officer, what's wrong with that?

Under Li Xinghe's insistence, a large-scale expenditure plan to develop and build two drone carriers was strongly approved.

The project was developed by the US-Japan Joint Aircraft Carrier Training Institute, with a project budget of more than 1 trillion yen.

"The next step is drones. Our procurement targets are still mainly Japanese companies..."

Li Xinghe continued to fight for the interests of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces on the surface, and received sincere gratitude from relevant personnel of military-industrial enterprises.

Finally, after the project seminar, the US side finalized several large orders.

The United States purchased C-2 transport aircraft from Kawasaki Heavy Industries of Japan, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries received the work of developing drone carriers. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Subaru and Japan Aircraft Supply Company received the bidding contract for the purchase of combat drones. At the same time, the US-Japan Joint Command established a new US-Japan joint aircraft carrier research institute to design drone carriers and regular aircraft carriers.

虽然名义上花了一大笔钱，但预期采购4架C-2运输机的订单价为640亿日元、无人机研制支出为39亿日元、无人机母舰研制支出仅为100亿日元。

Unless the drone carriers and unmanned fighter jets enter the large-scale procurement stage, Li Xinghe will not need to pay more money for these projects.

However, in the publicly announced fiscal budget, it is expected that the purchase of 100 combat drones of various types will cost 4000 billion yen, and the development and construction of two drone carriers will cost 1 trillion yen. Li Xinghe even owes a fiscal gap of 2000 billion yen.

As a result, Li Xinghe's $125 billion budget was declared exhausted.

Li Xinghe openly wrote reports to the Pentagon and the White House Office:

"I'm out of money. The fiscal deficit is $10 billion. Send me some money!"

The seminar finalized three major items, and the US side was very satisfied.

Developing drones, researching and building drone carriers, and rebuilding air transport formations are exactly the strategic capabilities that the newly formed US-Japan Joint Command needs most.

Even Admiral Jacqueline praised Li Xinghe highly: "You did a great job. We need air transport formations and cheap fleets of sea and air combat forces to block the Chinese Navy."

At a special press conference held afterwards, the Japanese side said with great joy:

"We have managed to get all the US military funds stationed in Japan to be invested in enhancing the self-sustaining capabilities of the Japanese military. This is a huge victory for us!"

For the media, such a practice of spending all the money on Japan's military is enough to shut up those media who like to howl "pay tribute to the American father". After all, I use your money to protect you, how else do you want your father to warm you?

Drop another atomic bomb?

"We believe that such development will inevitably restore the balance in Asia and safeguard regional peace!" said Admiral Jacqueline.

It sounds as if China can be defeated immediately and the glory of the United States can be restored.

But in fact, in order to compensate for the generosity of the United States, most of the $125 billion order contracts from Japan were handed over to American arms dealers. They ordered new Standard 6 and Tomahawk missiles from Raytheon, and AGM-158 anti-ship missiles and shipborne phased array radars from Lockheed Martin. Only about % of the funds were actually used to enhance the self-sustaining power of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and share some of the broth with various contractors in Japan.

Li Xinghe applauded in the audience.

In reality, these guys are just popping champagne on paper.

Because the entire amount of money has not been touched yet, it has already flown away from the accounts.

After the press conference, Nanyun Kenichiro immediately came to Li Xinghe:

"Major Chiyo, won't the United States say anything?"

Li Xinghe sighed:

"The military industry must be scolding me, but it doesn't matter, I will withstand the pressure."

Nanyun Kenichiro quickly bent down and bowed 90 degrees to thank this rising star:

"Thank you so much for your help! After much thought, I think you shouldn't go to the National Defense University to participate in the ineffective junior officer training. I will issue you a certificate of a third-class junior officer in advance to ensure that you can rank at the top of the Maritime Self-Defense Force."

He felt that this would definitely help him win over Li Xinghe.

Now he is Major Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe showed no gratitude, but sent the right-wing chief of staff away with all courtesy.

Arrogant at first and respectful at the end, it makes people laugh when they think about it.

Nan Haonu followed Li Xinghe closely with her hands behind her back:

"Nothing will happen?"

She discovered that this man had a lot of secrets and had quietly made his way to the front row of the new headquarters.

Li Xinghe smiled with his eight big teeth:

"As long as they say that the money has been spent, and then claim a few years later that all the funds have been used up, no one will ask where the money is hidden. Anyway, we don't have account books, only a memorandum of cooperation with Japan. The money belongs to the Japanese and they spent it. We are only responsible for supervision. If the supervision fails, the money will be wasted. Isn't this perfect? Didn't the funds for the Tokyo Asian Games and the special subsidies during the epidemic all disappear in this way without a trace?"

We just said we would develop it, but we didn’t say it would be successful!

However, just as the press conference ended, the Japanese media collectively resonated and announced that this was Japan's biggest victory. When the Japanese right wing was celebrating, Prime Minister Shinjiro Koizumi still gave everyone a big show.

In a public interview, Koizumi said: "China and Japan are important forces for local peace. If necessary, I hope to have further talks with China at the RCEP regional trade summit."

The words were impartial, but coming on the day when the Self-Defense Forces announced a huge victory over the United States, it sounded sarcastic.

When Li Xinghe saw it, he was shocked.

It's over. Seeing that Suga Yoshihide and Hayashi Yoshimasa are both racking their brains to compete for the title of pro-China leader, Shinjiro Koizumi now actually intends to take off this hat himself.

Nan Haonu's smart eyes flashed with confusion:
