Chapter 1180: Changes in the Ryukyus II

After waking up and seeing that it was still early for the meal, Wu Chen drove directly to the beach for a run, he was waiting for news from all over Japan to be summarized. The power of the news media has never been to be underestimated, and he does not expect the so-called public opinion to play much of a role in the plan, but to send a signal to the US government, a very dangerous signal.

Looking at the beautiful white sand beach, Wu Chen stretched out his arms in the rising sun, the Ryukyu Islands were not originally Japanese, and they should not be now!

"How can this be justified in wanting to abolish the US military stationed in Japan and become a normal country, and to lift the ban on the right of collective self-defense? What is the Japanese government trying to do, to touch the bottom line of the United States? "Mr. President was furious in the office.

As soon as newspapers from all over Japan came out and interviews were broadcast on television, CIA agents sensed that something was wrong and used the Internet to transmit pictures and videos to CIA headquarters. The director of the CIA hurriedly reported to the presidential palace with the materials, and immediately afterwards, the government and military bigwigs quickly came to the president's office for a meeting.

"These interviewees have detailed files on our CIA, and they are members of Japan's ultra-hardline faction, and their words carry a lot of weight, so we can judge that it was a tentative act made by the Japanese government, throwing out remarks and then seeing our reaction, if we don't take measures, the temptation will turn into actual action." The CIA director said.

"If Japan wants to become a normal country and lift the ban on the right of collective self-defense, it must also ask the United States whether it will agree! However, we must also pay attention to ways and means in how to do it, and we cannot directly intervene in it, because if the US military command in Japan takes action, the already very bad situation will become even worse. ”

"Isn't the Ryukyu Islands now fighting for independence, the US government has expressed its support for this, anyway, the two major bases on Okinawa Island can't be saved, the Japanese government is obviously taking advantage of the situation, a place that has no interests for the United States, can not fall into the hands of Japan, it was handed over to them at the beginning, and now it can be handed over to others, let the mercenaries come forward to do it, and we are only responsible for mediation."

"The US military command in Japan and the major military bases on the Japanese mainland will immediately enter a state of first-class alert, and whoever dares to storm the bases at this time will be allowed to use force to defend themselves, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff will transfer some troops from South Korea and Guam to increase the defense force of the bases." The Minister of Defense said viciously.

The remarks of the news media seemed to resonate with the Japanese people, and the streets were soon filled with marching processions, chanting slogans for US troops to get out of Japanese territory, and more and more people participated in the procession.

These images were quickly disseminated by news media around the world, and in a short time they appeared on the television sets of the president's office, and the United States was shaken. As a result, the Ministry of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff have stepped up their efforts to mobilize their troops and have begun to contact mercenary corps.

These bastards are insane! The atmosphere of the Japanese Prime Minister's official residence is about to be blown up!

It is also an indisputable fact that after the end of World War II, Japan actually became a vassal state of the United States. The aspiration of successive governments has always been to make Japan a normal country and to expel the US troops stationed in Japan from their own land, and this is also the wish of all Japanese people.

However, the problem is that now is not the right time, because Japan is surrounded by a group of neighbors who are eyeing each other, and none of them are friendly countries, and if the US troops stationed in Japan are withdrawn, Japan's security factor will be greatly reduced.

As for lifting the ban on the right of collective self-defense and the right to wage war against foreign countries, this is a taboo that cannot be touched in Japan and is bound by the pacifist constitution. Perhaps Japan can do this when it truly has the status of a world power, but at least bringing it up during this period of time is tantamount to stimulating the US government, and the matter will become difficult to end.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is an extremely sad moment, the saddest moment since the end of World War II, when some of us have made irresponsible and inappropriate remarks, misguided the emotions of the Japanese people, and put the government's work in a passive and difficult situation, which is also a dereliction of duty on my part as a prime minister."

"It is the dream of successive governments to make Japan a normal country, and I am the same, but as the ruling party that controls the destiny of the whole of Japan, it ignores the dangers that exist, so that the situation is difficult to manage, look around us, China, Russia, South Korea, North Korea and the Golden Triangle Federation, none of them are allies, or even all of them are opponents, without the support of the United States, can we withstand the pressure of so many countries?"

"It is true that Japan's national defense is controlled by the United States, but you only see the disadvantages in it, but you do not think about the benefits for us, the relationship between the United States and Japan has deteriorated, and the external protective barrier has disappeared, can Japan still develop its economy with peace of mind?"

"The United States needs Japan in order to facilitate the implementation of its Asia-Pacific strategy and suppress the rising China, as well as Russia and the Northern Korea, which are about to move, and Japan also needs the protection of the United States' strong armed forces to withstand the threats from its neighbors, especially the nuclear threat from Russia.

"Once the ban on the right of collective self-defense is really lifted, it will be tantamount to opening Pandora's box, and according to the special relationship between the United States and Japan, Japan will be led into the quagmire of war, is this the result you want?" Koizumi gritted his teeth with hatred at the meeting.

It's a pity that the people's emotions have been completely mobilized, not only this time of public opinion guidance, just a few articles and a few interview videos, it can't have such an effect, but the United States has been bullying Japan for a long time, weak countries have no diplomacy, Japan's economy and military have been greatly improved, but politics is a dwarf, and you need to obey the arrangements of the United States.

Not to mention the tragic incident that occurred in the early stage, a US fighter plane from Kadena Air Base on the island of Okinawa recently bombed Nippon Steel's steel plant, killing and injuring more than 100 people, and the US Government only apologized and promised compensation, but the murderer actually said that he had disappeared mysteriously, and only later learned that the fighter pilot at the air base had actually taken illegal drugs.

Residents of Okinawa Island besieged the Kadena Air Base, and the U.S. military brazenly dispatched troops to forcibly evict them, killing and wounding many people, and forcing the incompetent government to arrest the perpetrators of the attack on the airport, resulting in clashes between the Self-Defense Forces and the police, and many more people were killed and injured.

Coupled with the oppression and humiliation that the people have been subjected to over the years, the emotions of anger and hatred rushed out like a volcanic eruption with the help of public opinion, which is why this situation has been created. 8)
