"The Japanese government firmly opposes the holding of a referendum in the Ryukyu Islands, and at the same time does not recognize any result of this, and strongly protests against any country's interference in Japan's internal affairs!" The Japanese prime minister summoned the US ambassador to Japan to express Japan's attitude.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Ryukyu Islands were not Japan's inherent territory in the first place, but were forcibly occupied by the Japanese government, and the United States and European countries have agreed that the people of the Ryukyu Islands have the right to make a choice for their own destiny, and that the UN General Assembly will also vote on this matter, and this matter cannot be changed." The position of the US administration was announced by the US ambassador.

Japan's neighboring governments rarely reach a consensus on one matter, but on the issue of the referendum on the Ryukyu Islands, they unanimously chose to support it, saying that the people of the Ryukyu Islands have the right to hold a referendum, which is not Japan's inherent territory in the first place, and the Japanese government has no right to interfere.

European countries announced their support for the Ryukyu Islands referendum, followed by African countries agreeing, the Group of Arab States and the Community of South American Nations doing the same, Canada and Australia and other countries subsequently expressing their positions, and Southeast Asian countries unanimously agreeing, and the matter was decided.

No matter how the Japanese government opposed and protested, the referendum was quickly passed in the UN General Assembly, which naturally had the strength of the United States, and the mercenaries had also done a lot of work, and the vast majority of countries did not want to offend the Golden Triangle Federation.

The USS Raider aircraft carrier battle group of the Mercenary Corps Navy departed from the Cam Ranh Bay naval base in Vietnam and cooperated with the USS Washington nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group in the South Kuril Islands to blockade the waters between Japan and the Ryukyu Islands, declaring that this was a request of the UN General Assembly to prevent violent incidents.

The world-famous Golden Triangle Federal Gendarmerie began to be stationed in various parts of the Ryukyu Islands on a large scale to ensure the smooth holding of the referendum.

Since the referendum has received the support of the UN General Assembly, more than a dozen countries, including the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, have also sent a large number of monitoring missions to supervise the referendum, and the will of the local people must be reflected. The Japanese government's protests and opposition were ineffective, and they could only sit back and wait for the outcome of the matter.

The so-called referendum on the Ryukyu Islands is also a referendum on Okinawa, because more than 80% of the population is concentrated here, and as long as the result of Okinawa is out, the matter is already a foregone conclusion.

From 6 o'clock in the morning, long queues formed in front of the polling places, and under the watchful eyes of mercenary troops, gendarmes and overseers, everyone voted for their fate.

The officers and men of the local government and the Self-Defense Forces did not dare to provoke the heavily armed gendarmes, so they could only stand and watch helplessly from a distance. There are also thousands of reporters from news media from various countries, long guns and short cannons continue to shoot pictures, and the Golden Triangle Federal National Television has also broadcast live.

"Boss, why don't you take the opportunity to take down the northernmost Osumi Islands? This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and what a wonderful thing it would be to make Japan vomit blood once with the help of the United States! Marcas, who had just arrived at the airbase, said.

The northernmost part of the Ryukyu Islands is the Amami Islands, and the southernmost part is Yonaguni Island, according to the administrative division of Japan, the Amami Islands belong to Kagoshima Prefecture, but in the logic of the mercenary corps, this is also part of the Ryukyu Islands, which earlier belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom, so it is natural to participate in the referendum.

In fact, the number of people in the Amami Islands who want the independence of the Ryukyu Islands is higher than that of Okinawa, because the population of the main island is small, and no matter how fierce the popular protests here are, the fate can only depend on the referendum results of Okinawa, and the Japanese government is no longer able to protect the Amami Islands.

There are two islands in the northern part of the Amami Islands, one is the Togara Islands, most of which are uninhabited islands with low economic and strategic value, and the northernmost is the Osumi Islands, of which Tanegashima is the most famous, with Japan's space base.

The referendum in the Ryukyu Islands was a major event for the Golden Triangle Federation, and the top brass of the mercenary corps came to the air base to wait for the results, and a sun umbrella was propped up on the lawn outside the headquarters, with tables and chairs, and hot tea and fruit on the tables.

"Quite simply, the purpose of the US government is to teach the Japanese government a lesson, not to split Japan, this country has special strategic significance to the United States, it is an important military base in the Far East, and it is also an integral part of the Asia-Pacific strategy, and the Togara Islands and the Osumi Islands are equivalent to a buffer zone between the Ryukyu Islands and Japan, otherwise Japan will face a direct threat from us."

"The Ryukyu Islands have had a sovereign state since ancient times, but the territory was forcibly occupied by Japan, and the independence activities have not been interrupted over the years, and it makes sense to hold a referendum, which is a fact known to the world. The Osumi Islands are different, they did not belong to the Ryukyu Kingdom before, and it is not easy to find excuses, and the Japanese government does not want to force the Japanese government to jump over the wall. Wu Chen said with a smile.

"The U.S. government dares to assign the Ryukyu Islands to the Golden Triangle Federation, which I could never have imagined, and it is equivalent to giving the part of the first island chain to the mercenary army, which is not an easy decision." Thompson said.

"It's not so difficult to say, the United States is a self-centered country, and the ugly thing to say is selfishness, mercenaries are overseas forces supported by the U.S. government, and the vast majority of countries in the world think so, and the U.S. government has gradually accepted this statement, plus you and Marcus are Americans, which gives us relative trust, and it is impossible to get absolute trust."

"From the anti-drug operations in the Golden Triangle, the Silver Triangle and Mexico, to the surprise attack on the Japanese fleet, our cooperation is off to a good start. The mercenary corps used Ukoran to restrain Russia, protect the security of the European region, and use the South Kuril Islands to restrain Japan and safeguard the interests of the United States in the Far East. ”

"Africa can now be said to be the territory of mercenaries, but American companies have not been excluded, and we have no better choice for the U.S. government to interfere with European energy and raw material imports for the sake of the United States, and to provide logistical support services for the U.S. military in the war in Afghanistan."

"Moreover, the so-called first island chain is not so important to the United States, and it may play an auxiliary role in wartime, and it is just a saying in peacetime, and the ships of China are still unimpeded between the straits, and the navies of Japan and the United States will not intercept them." Wu Chen said.
