Emperor Kangxi's attempt to maintain the purity of the Eight Banners was ultimately a joke.
The most successful aspect of Manqing's rule was that it made the vast majority of Manchus hate him to the core.
The biggest joke on the internet is that the Qing dynasty enthusiast is Han Chinese, while the one shouting that Qing dynasty time travelers are rebelling is Manchu.
It's just a funny little story. Anyway, we're all Chinese, so there's no need to be so particular. Didn't you see that Xinhua has abolished the ethnic divisions? We're all Chinese, perfect.
Therefore, Japan is well aware of its fate. As long as Xinhua opens its doors, it is only a matter of time before the Korean Peninsula, along with the rest of Japan, is assimilated. In fact, there are many people in Japan, North Korea, and South Korea who are actively accelerating this process.
The order in East Asia is about to return to orthodoxy, but some people must be sacrificed in the process.
As far as Xinhua is concerned, the Japanese high command knows which Japanese devils are the ones to be sacrificed.
To put it simply, even if Xinhua were to wipe out nine out of ten houses, it would still be considered merciful to the Japanese. If we were to follow the theory of great revenge, Dongfeng would be carrying nuclear warheads to wipe out the Japanese and mass-produce "acquaintances" in Japan.
Now you know why the Japanese were afraid we would hold a grudge, because we really had the power to take revenge.
When it comes to understanding their own position, the Japanese, who had suffered defeats, always had a clear self-awareness.
"Tch, a piece of trash who can't even take a beating."
Player "Amazing Carmen" kicked the corpses of the Self-Defense Forces lying on the ground. To be honest, these guys' tactical and technical skills were not bad at all, making one very suspicious that these people were a group of civilians wearing military uniforms.
"A bunch of trash who can't even get their paychecks, do you expect them to defy the heavens?"
Player "I FUZE want to save hostages today" changed the magazine on his AK74 and then casually tore off the dog tag of a fallen Japanese soldier as a souvenir.
The Japanese Communist Party guerrillas now possess the fighting capabilities of the regular Japanese Communist Party army. Although 80-90% of this fighting power is supported by the players, the Japanese Communist Party's own armed forces are also growing. In addition, the region they are currently in is Hokkaido, which can be considered a large island in Japan. Due to its latitude, its population is less than six million in the 21st century. Considering that Russia, which is at an even higher latitude, is vast and sparsely populated, it is very easy to understand.
Before breakthroughs in human technology, food cultivation in high-latitude regions has always been problematic, with costs remaining high. The high cost of food leads to higher prices for other goods as well. Coupled with the influence of objective environment, unless there are favorable official policies, it is difficult for the population of such places to grow.
Not every country is as meticulous as our ancestors in selecting food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
What's more, the ancestors of many countries died prematurely (▽)c.
Some ethnic groups' ancestors loved to wander, and they could stay away for over two thousand years – quite the experts (you know what I mean).
The out-of-control situation in Hokkaido is just a microcosm of the overall loss of control in Japan. After the Plaza Accord, with the help of the United States and its own self-destructive actions, Japan successfully went completely astray and entered a lost decade. At this time, Japan still had some resources to squander and was not forced to pay money to support the United States due to its decline. However, once the United States became chaotic, Japan would inevitably follow suit. Not to mention, there were quite a few people in Japan who were unhappy with the pro-American faction.
When the United States was still around, it was natural to say "Long live America!" and to keep one's thoughts and actions well hidden. But now that the United States is struggling to take care of itself, it shouldn't be blamed for its "adopted son" being unfilial. As the Chinese proverb goes, "There are no filial sons at the bedside of a chronically ill parent."
Just as Japan betrayed the United States back then, they can now betray the United States as well.
Moreover, the United States is so far away from Japan that they feel more at ease and less pressured to betray Japan.
"Admiral, the Japanese side wants to communicate with us." Lexington walked up to Qin Shan with a document in his hand.
After reading it, Qin Shan was not surprised by the contents.
"The Japanese felt they couldn't hold on any longer and were afraid of being purged, so they wanted to exchange their loyalty for some political value by betraying each other."
Qin Shan's smile was full of sarcasm. Did you think he was mocking the Japanese for their divisions? No, no, no, he was just mocking the clownish behavior of the right-wing elites. He had received no fewer than twenty similar documents recently, and they came from different factions within Japan. They had all basically betrayed each other, hoping to climb to the top by stepping on each other.
"How does the admiral intend to deal with them?"
"Well..." Qin Shan reached out and pulled Lexington into his arms, enjoying the softness in his embrace as he casually said, "Never mind them, let's get down to business first."
The fate of those Japanese devils is nothing compared to how close I am with my wife. The only thing to be careful about is getting bumped into by the two little ones, as it can easily become awkward, no matter what they ask.
Qin Shan's indifference basically represents the official attitude of Xinhua News Agency. In any case, the old man's side won't care either. All the hints and explicit statements from the Japanese side have become one-way communication without any response. This silence has increased the panic in Japan. People are very prone to overreaction when they are in a state of extreme panic, and once they overreact, they are capable of doing anything.
Has Xinhua News Agency issued any response yet?
"This attitude is the response. Don't dream about it. The Chinese won't let us off the hook. Don't forget that they still hold annual memorial services for our compatriots who were massacred. They want to settle scores with us, understand? Settle scores, a complete and utter settlement!"
"Then we have no choice but to go to America."
"Baka! Going to America now would just be cannon fodder. Forget America, we need to find a new place."
"Where to go? The situation in South America isn't much better right now!"
"Then let's go to Africa and rebuild our nation overseas, relying on our large immigrant population!"
It has to be said that when people are pushed to the limit, their imaginations skyrocket. The Japanese are now starting to consider the possibility of establishing a country overseas, and the more they talk, the more likely they feel that this possibility is.
The main reason is that the Japanese high command is very afraid of being purged, while the Japanese lower class is not worried. Judging from Xinhua's consistent style of doing things, even if the whole of Japan is replaced by the Japanese Communist Party and then Xinhua is brought in to take full control, the lives of the locals will not be so bad that they have to sell their children or the sex industry will soar. Therefore, how to trick as many Japanese people as possible to go overseas has become the issue that the Japanese high command will discuss next. Even if they cannot establish a new Japan overseas, they will turn some overseas country into a puppet completely controlled by Japan. After leaving the East Asian monster house, Japan's fighting power is capable of fighting on a global scale.
Yes, once I opened my mind, the world suddenly seemed much broader.
So the Japanese leadership began to make intensive overseas expansion plans, with South America as their first choice and Africa as their second. In any case, they did not want to or dared to return to Asia, as it was the world of the Eastern dragon, and demons and monsters should know to stay away.
But at this critical juncture, a trivial matter that would normally be insignificant to Japan completely ignited the situation, turning all of the Japanese leadership's plans into a joke.
Chapter 66: No, Godfather, you can't leave!
As is well known, because of the simple and honest nature of the American people, when order breaks down, local businesses will very generously invite locals to shop in their stores without charging a penny, euphemistically called: zero-dollar shopping.
It's completely different from some countries that send in the military to maintain order and provide disaster relief when something happens.
This is the confidence of Americans.
Excellent traditions are universally applicable, so when the order in Japan began to collapse, the US military stationed there took the initiative to actively develop blue ocean markets. Through quick and efficient market research, they achieved end-to-end granular alignment, redefined user groups, and launched an effective combination of strategies, which is a classic internet economic model.
Japan may seem like a country that is fine on ordinary days, but just like the classic joke that "some mentally ill people are never treated because they act like normal people in their daily lives," Japan has extremely poor stress tolerance.
This extremely poor standard is slightly better than ours compared to the United States, just slightly (nods).
The problem in Japan right now is that the entire upper echelons are thinking about fleeing. Under these circumstances, expecting the entire national government structure to function normally is absolutely impossible. If they rely on local governments acting independently, the resources that a single region can mobilize are extremely limited. In reality, this means that when one region is in trouble, everyone else turns away. "There are no instructions from above," I, the troublemaker, said, "I don't care, you guys handle it yourselves."
In a country where gangsters are legal, the entire social order is now out of control. The only ones who can maintain order are the Japanese yakuza. The police system is in chaos, and many things are lost with no one looking for them.
And soon rumors began to circulate throughout Japan that high-ranking officials had fled.
Japanese officials certainly do not acknowledge this and have issued denials, but these denials are nothing short of a joke.
The Japanese people's trust in their government is as unbreakable as the calm of Angron the Warhammer King. Basically, no matter how the government denies something, they interpret it in the opposite way. In addition, TV Tokyo has started broadcasting other programs, which has only reinforced the government's denials.
Shopping malls were flooded with panic buying, banks were hit by runs, the stock market crashed, and an apocalyptic atmosphere permeated Japan.
It was at this time that the US military personnel stationed in Japan began to "do as they pleased with their pay." Now that their wages back home were starting to depreciate, for the US military personnel stationed in Japan, going home meant becoming cannon fodder, while staying in Japan meant they could still survive and still have guns at their disposal, facing the Japanese soldiers who usually treated them with disrespect. What do you think they would think?
Soon after, the US military robbed a Japanese bank. The American soldiers were arrogant and domineering during the robbery. They were fully armed and even had armored vehicles leading the way. Given the small size of the Japanese bank, it was clear that it could not withstand this GTA-style robbery.
Everyone knows the true nature of the US military; when they start looting, they're definitely not just going to loot.
Rape, murder, drug trafficking—these are all normal occurrences. The Japanese government hadn't even fled yet, and the whole of Tokyo was already bursting with life, with everything thriving.
At this time, with the military bases of the Chinese and American armies as the dividing line, half of Tokyo was peaceful and prosperous, while the other half was in dire straits. The Japanese in the dire straits could not bear the heat of Tokyo, so they fled to the area under the actual control of the People's Liberation Army, while the US military did not dare to use Vietnam as a pretext.
Besides the fact that US troops stationed in Japan are often subjected to various forms of punishment by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), another important reason is that Xinhua currently has two supercarriers on standby, with aircraft constantly circling overhead. In addition, other PLA bases in Japan have also entered a state of combat readiness. Fighting Xinhua on land when they are at a disadvantage in terms of air, sea, and land is somewhat suicidal.
Occasionally, American troops would cross the border, only to be driven back by the PLA with bayonets and bullets. If they dared to retaliate, the PLA would call in loitering munitions or drones to deal with them. After the American troops lost a hundred or so lives, they fully understood the PLA's moral standards. The commander of the US forces in Japan personally visited to explain and clear up the misunderstanding, and then the two sides tacitly divided Tokyo in two.
As for the attitude of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, that's unimportant and nobody cares. If they dare to cause trouble, they'll be dead.
Happiness is relative. After witnessing the might and might of the People's Liberation Army and its exemplary civilization, the Japanese people looked down on the US military. In the same city, some people lived in paradise, some in hell, and some fell from paradise to hell. Their moral compass was shattered by the American traitors and their troops, and some even began to organize terrorist attacks against the US military.
It's not surprising; where there is oppression, there will be resistance.
The US military has been acting inhumanely in Japan for many years, and the locals are very happy to mingle with them at this time, exchanging heartfelt greetings with a sense of camaraderie, and discussing intimate topics.
During this period, there were people in the Japanese government who tried to maintain the situation, but it was no use. Given the current state of Japan, the few remaining high-ranking officials who still had some conscience simply did not have the power to change anything.
All they could do at that moment was pray and take sides.
Those Japanese who believed that even if the People's Liberation Army came, they would not be held accountable, along with many new-generation mid-level Japanese officials who had no direct connection with the beneficiaries of World War II, took the initiative to cooperate with the People's Liberation Army. They quickly established a complete and reliable government framework in the Tokyo area controlled by the People's Liberation Army. They were government personnel with excellent professional abilities. If it weren't for the suppression by many old Japanese men above them, many of them would have made a name for themselves in Japanese politics long ago. Now, it was a good opportunity for them to rise to power.
Everyone can see that Japan will inevitably be within the absolute sphere of influence of the Xinhua civilization in the future, and may even become an integral part of Xinhua since ancient times. If Japan doesn't try to get closer to Xinhua now, it's not a problem of ability, it's a problem of intelligence.
With Tokyo serving as a model, other Japanese regions also hosting Chinese and American troops quickly followed suit, splitting into two separate entities under one government. In some areas, there were even instances of Self-Defense Forces attacking US forces and holding out until the People's Liberation Army intervened. This quickly became the most common occurrence, and the Japanese learned which side offered hope and which was a cesspool. If you're still used to the Americans, then go ahead and go there; we're not going.
After this period of fragmentation, Japan became a mix of red and blue, and the Japanese government's rule over its own country had effectively collapsed. The looting by American soldiers led to more violent incidents, and many Japanese Self-Defense Forces chose to align themselves with the Chinese military and turn their guns against the American forces. As a result, some Japanese cities formed a tri-junction of Chinese, Japanese, and American forces, creating a truly remarkable situation.
The chaos in Japan continued until March 1998. The good news was that it finally came to an end, but the bad news was that the Japanese government found itself powerless to stop the Japanese Communist Party's armed forces from advancing south.
They wanted to command their troops, but they couldn't move them. Looking at the jagged lines of control, the obedient Japanese Self-Defense Forces had to move northward like a snake, their actual distance ten times greater than before. They had to cross mountains, plains, ravines, and hills—a task akin to the Russian naval expeditions of yesteryear.
The gratitude owed to the teams is equally great.
Even if the Self-Defense Forces, out of loyalty to the government, actually went there, it's uncertain how much of their soldiers would still be combat-ready.
If the Japanese Communist Party were to launch a single offensive, it would collapse, becoming a force to be reckoned with by capturing prisoners across the mountains and fields. Wouldn't that be like sending soldiers on a long journey? The Japanese Communist Party's ability to reform itself is entirely based on that of our Party and our army; with the guidance of Sanzo Nosaka, there's at least a safety net. Another important source influencing the situation in Japan is the United States.
Because Qinshan deployed a large number of players to the battlefield in Mexico to fight against the US military, the US military's front lines basically could not last more than three days. Now the new Mexican government has effectively recovered the territory lost during the Mexican-American War and has even penetrated into the western territory of the United States, which has angered the US government to no end and has threatened to use nuclear weapons more than once.
The Mexican government, in turn, sent the US military a map of Mexico.
The meaning is clear: Go ahead and fry it, let me see if you have enough stock.
The enraged US military used a large number of tactical nuclear weapons on the front lines, but the killing effect was limited. After all, when the army is in combat, it has to form skirmish lines. It is good if there are one or two platoons in a front of several kilometers. Tactical nuclear weapons can hardly kill many people.
Conversely, using nuclear weapons on U.S. soil would incite the American public to want to overthrow the government.
They have no sympathy for the federal government's difficulties; all they know is that the government will not compensate them for their losses, and they will truly be homeless, living under terrible nuclear contamination.
Thanks to Hollywood for producing a bunch of nuclear war apocalyptic wasteland movies, these works have not only successfully terrified people and officials in other countries, but also scared their own people half to death.
Americans who were originally resisting the Mexican army on Mexican territory immediately turned their guns on the federal government. Because the nuclear bomb destroyed their homes, the penniless men just wanted to storm the White House and kick the president in the backside.
In this situation, it would be a joke for the United States to maintain its overseas military presence. It can only continuously withdraw its overseas troops from other regions and bring them back home. Where the US military leaves, it will become a feast for anti-American forces. Forces that were once pro-American in the local area will be subjected to the most severe purge. Even if the local compromise faction comes to power, Qin Shan will have the players purge them as well.
We're living in a rare era of reckoning, so how can we not make a list?
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill! Slaughter to create a new era. Without enough bloodshed, how can the foundation of the new world be solidified?
The position of the US military stationed in Japan became very awkward at this time. The country had abandoned them and asked them to return home. But what returning home would mean, the US soldiers on the ground knew very well. So many American soldiers chose to desert and disappeared near the camp. Those American soldiers who chose to leave also took away the last breath of pro-American forces in Japan.
With their departure, Japan will be dominated by the Xinhua and the Japanese Communist Party.
No! Godfather, you can't leave! My family's assets haven't been transferred yet!
Section 67: Baa!
Even if the Japanese government tries to retain them, the US military presence in Japan will not be able to be saved.
Although the US government hoped to make a fuss about this and reach some consensus with Xinhua, Xinhua's attitude was quite indifferent, as if to say, "Go if you want, it's none of my business."
Circumstances dictate that the US government, with its homeland in disarray, had no choice but to flee with its tail between its legs.
Without American protection, the Japanese right-wing government has become completely helpless, and Xinhua has imposed a comprehensive blockade on Japan, citing the reason that it is to prevent the harm of war from spilling over.
We also blockaded the Korean Peninsula; this is called treating everyone the same.
But this also means that no Japanese right-wing force on the Japanese islands can escape, and during this period, only merchant ships that have been reviewed and approved by Xinhua can dock in Japan. Any other merchant ships that dare to approach will be regarded as a declaration of war against Xinhua and will be sunk without explanation.
By this time, Western countries, already overwhelmed by various domestic and international problems, didn't even have the energy to protest. They only made some symbolic gestures, issued some government documents, and then nothing more.
As for the domestic fleet, they were all given warnings, and those who still wanted to die were not stopped.
Subsequently, Xinhua imposed a complete blockade on the entire country of Japan, first cutting off internet access and then starting arrests.
However, it was not the People's Liberation Army that arrested people, but the Japanese Communist Party. After the complete collapse of the Japanese government, the Japanese Communist Party was able to take over the entire country of Japan at an extremely fast pace, and in this process, many exceptionally capable and insightful individuals joined the Japanese Communist Party.
Need I even ask? Of course it's the players. You can't expect the Japanese Communist Party to solve all the problems in such a short time.
The players all have local identities, at least on the surface they are all Japanese locals. There are some minor flaws, though the locals may not have met these locals before, but these are minor issues and not important at all. What is important is that the Japanese Communist Party is about to become the ruling party in Japan and begin building a beautiful new Japan.
The first step, of course, is to thoroughly purge the Japanese right-wing war criminals. Their fathers should be exhumed and their corpses whipped after they die, and their children should be dragged to labor reform. There are places in Hokkaido that need to be developed, and Japan should also have its own labor reform farms.
"Come on, here, good, stop, let's begin, smash whatever you want."
The player "When I Am Alive, You Are Worry-Free" (whose real name is Zhang Yunyan) is currently directing former Communist engineering corps soldiers to dismantle toilets.
After the Yasukuni Shrine is leveled, it will become a septic tank and toilet, and the memorial tablets of the war criminals will be crushed and thrown into the septic tank, ensuring that nothing is wasted.
But at that moment, a Type 90 main battle tank, originally belonging to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces but now requisitioned by players, burst out from the wall next to it. A bunch of cheering players were hanging on it. The player in charge of driving it was named "Pigeon," a web novel author. But web novel authors nicknamed "Pigeon"—you know what I mean.
The Japanese Communist People's Army engineers looked at Zhang Yunyan, who waved his hand, indicating that he should go and rest first, and that they could take care of the rest of the work, ensuring that it would be completely demolished without any toxins remaining.
Just as the players were vandalizing the Yasukuni Shrine, a group of Japanese right-wingers and their families were brought over and made to kneel nearby. They were among the most heinous members of the Japanese right wing. They were to be publicly tried, beheaded, and their bodies thrown into a septic tank, all to be broadcast live.
This was also demanded by the Japanese Communist Party itself. They believed that if Japan wanted a complete revolution, it had to kill, ...
The problem is that post-Meiji Restoration Japan retained many feudal remnants, and these remnants were infested with countless maggots. Cleaning them up bit by bit would be a waste of resources; it would be more efficient to smash them all and rebuild.
Xinhua naturally respects the choice of our Japanese comrades. Do whatever you want; we'll just be responsible for the live broadcast.
As for international perception, Japan only needs to care about Xinhua's international perception now; everything else is nonsense.
It feels so good to be rid of that wicked godfather.
With the Japanese Communist Party's execution of those who had benefited from the old Japanese regime, Xinhua's position in East Asia became completely unshakeable.
At this point, opening a map reveals a giant dragon coiled in East Asia, eyeing the distant horizon with predatory intent.
