Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 571 Blocking the door, releasing the dogs

Japanese islands.

Tokyo Used Electric Appliances Co., Ltd.

After carefully reading the message sent by the leader, Fujima immediately summoned his right-wing elites to plot a great cause.

On the Japanese islands, the local residents may not know who the chief of staff is, but they definitely know Fujima.

He once governed Hokkaido, served as president of Marubeni Corporation, and was the president of the Japanese Agricultural Association. He was the only powerful figure in Japan who had backbone and dared to confront North America and the three factions of contemporary samurai.

Therefore, few people initially understood why Fujima resigned as president of the farmers' association to start a second-hand appliance company.

However, as the Japanese economy continued to decline and per capita income continued to decrease, residents' consumption downgraded across the board, and the second-hand appliance market suddenly boomed.

In the consumer market, more and more people are choosing secondhand Walkmans, DVDs, televisions, washing machines, and more...
In the office equipment sector, an increasing number of businesses are opting for used computers, printers, fax machines, projectors, and more...
It can be said that in just four or five years, 'second-hand appliances' have become mainstream consumer goods in Japan.

Fujima's Secondhand Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. has surpassed Marubeni, one of the four major conglomerates in Japan, to become a rising star in the Japanese business world.

But this is not the peak.

In 06, Fujima defied public opinion and added used cars, used agricultural machinery, used airplanes, used prosthetics and limbs, and used mines and oil fields to his business.

They declared, "We're not doing secondhand business to make money, but to be friends with consumers and to benefit everyone on the Japanese islands during this economic downturn!"

Against the backdrop of Japan's economic downturn, the looming threat of the three major powers to the west, and the exploitation and oppression of North America to the east, Fujima's ideology of "opposing the three powers and opposing the United States to make Japan great again" gained more popularity among the Japanese.

Its ranks include hundreds of groups such as the Ichisuikai, the New Right, the Student Council, the Youth League, and Shintoism, with a core membership exceeding 23.8 people before World War II, and a reach of nearly 400 million participants.

If we add the Japanese agricultural cooperatives controlled by Fujima's confidants, and the secret assistance provided by Keiko Igawa, Mitsubishi Industries, Marubeni Corporation, and others, the 'Fujima faction' could completely influence Japanese policy decisions if it wanted to.

In particular, some time ago, Fujima even copied the complete 'brain in a vat research data' for the ambitious faction on the Japanese islands.

Noon on September 2th.

Fujima delivered a speech to right-wing elites in the auditorium of a secondhand electronics company, which had a capacity of 10,000.

"We lost nearly 20 elite troops on the Mexican front, and now, including the reserves, we still have 30 soldiers fighting."

"What were the North American regular army doing at this time?"

Fujima's photos from the outskirts of León, Mexico, show him saying, "They were hiding behind us, sleeping, smoking, partying, and playing games. They didn't take this war seriously at all!"

"They didn't even care about the lives of our soldiers!"

"The most tragic thing is that when the fully-equipped 1st Mechanized Division in North America was surrounded by four armored divisions of the 21st Group in West Africa, the Pentagon allowed the 1st Mechanized Division to surrender, but did not allow our Ground Self-Defense Force, which was more than half wounded, to give up resistance, let alone allow us to retreat."

"This clearly shows that the Pentagon and the Combined Fleet are secretly cooperating and deliberately weakening us by taking advantage of the Mexico conflict."

"If this continues, our regular army on the Japanese islands will be almost wiped out."

"The reason why both sides did this is that North America does not have the ability to return to the Asia-Pacific region for the time being, but it is worried that Japan will lean towards the third system. In addition, Mexico needs troops on the front line, so it uses us as expendable resources."

"Secondly, during their expansion, the Third Group will never allow a thorn in their side like us. Only by weakening and eliminating us can the Third Group achieve strategic depth."

"To put it bluntly, both sides want us dead."

"Gentlemen, the moment that will decide the fate of Japan has arrived!"

After Fujima finished speaking, he showed a world map, "On the Mexican battlefield, the North American regular army was 'cowardly in battle,' and it was only thanks to the fearlessness of our Self-Defense Forces that we were able to hold the line."

"This is a manifestation of the decline of the Federal Empire."

"It is also an opportunity for the Japanese islands to break free from their constraints and stand up again."

"We must not perish quietly amidst the attacks of the three beauties."

"We must seize this opportunity and strive for a future for the Japanese islands!"

As Fujima spoke, he connected Hokkaido and Canada, saying, "Abstract maps mislead people's understanding. Most people have never realized that the distance between Japan and Canada, although separated by the Pacific Ocean, is closer than that between Singapore and Australia."

"Those idiots during World War II actually went to fight in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia instead of relying on the Kwantung Army, who were used to the Manchurian environment, to take Canada."

The right-wing youths and the elderly in the venue used second-hand AR devices to visually estimate the distance from Japan to Singapore, and then from Japan to Canada. After obtaining the results, they all gasped in shock.

That's absolutely right!

Canada is actually closer to Japan than Southeast Asia!

If, during World War II, Japan had used the Bering Sea to cut off Alaska with the Kwantung Army, then poured into Canada, and subsequently engaged in a land-based military contest with North America...
Canada, in particular, has far more resources than Southeast Asia.

Crude oil, timber, ore, rare earth elements, natural gas...
The right-wing men and women, young and old, suddenly gasped for breath and their eyes gleamed.

Fujima continued, "North America is no longer the North America of five years ago. It has been dragged to its limit by the three factions. Now it not only lacks the ability to return to the Asia-Pacific region, but its military forces are also tied up in the Mexican conflict."

"If we dedicate all our warships, we can surely secure a future for the Japanese islands!"

Wow!
The radicals at the scene applauded enthusiastically.

But there were also those who remained calm: "Fujima-san, no matter how weak North America is, it is still far stronger than us. At least in terms of a peaceful world, it is very difficult for us to defend against them."

“Turning North America away means that we can get closer to the three factions. Of course, this is strategic diplomacy, not actual allegiance to the three factions.”

As Fujima spoke, he circled the Japanese islands on the map. “Once we fall out with North America and attack it, Yu Sanyuan will definitely be eager to see the drama unfold. He will not only secretly provide us with weapons, materials, and food, but also supply us with finished fuel and the anti-missile system we need most. Of course, we must not offend our resource supplier, North America, as we did during World War II. Our plan is to maintain close ties with the three systems and keep our posture as low as possible before we relocate the whole country to Canada.”

Upon hearing this, the radicals at the scene gradually calmed down.

Yu Sanyuan once blocked, cut off, and cut off the internet and food supplies to the Japanese islands, and publicly humiliated them on several occasions. He is one of the most hated people by the right wing.

Now you're expected to fawn over the other person...

However, considering Yu Sanyuan's strength, especially the joint fleet's landing in Latin America, which could contain North America.

The radicals quickly realized, "Fujima-san is right!"

"Therefore, what we need to do next is, firstly, persuade the Japanese high-ranking officials to launch the eastward expansion plan as soon as possible; secondly, visit Yu Sanyuan to ask for some assistance; and thirdly, contact our Self-Defense Forces in Mexico to preserve our strength as much as possible."

"Yes!"

...

The Mexican front.

León.

The fierce fighting has lasted for a week. The city has been without power, water and food, which has driven away almost all the residents and left both sides with no more worries.

Meanwhile, North America retained its influence, and the Self-Defense Forces were unable to withstand the onslaught from West Africa. As the battlefield in the southern suburbs shifted northward, the two sides began to vie for control of cities.

While North America had extensive experience in this area, West Africa had Starlink and drones deployed there. As a result, North America deployed a large number of electromagnetic pulse missiles, which paralyzed the command and control systems of both sides.

This move turned urban warfare into a contest of semi-automated equipment, cold weapons, and individual combat skills, resulting in an exceptionally brutal scene.

Noon on the Japanese islands, dawn in Mexico.

When the 21 West African nations, equipped with anti-electromagnetic interference night vision devices, flooded into the city, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces once again volunteered to act as the vanguard in North America.

Under the interference of electromagnetic pulse grenades, both sides first used mortars for suppression, then semi-automatic weapons for assault, and then engaged in close combat.

In this process, there was no so-called command, let alone teamwork. There was only a three-on-three movement system, followed by ambushes and head-on attacks. You stabbed me, I stabbed you. When I was about to die, I would pull the pin on a grenade, and when you were about to die, you would pull the pin on a demolition device.

Occasionally there would be sniper shots, or mortar shells suddenly falling from the sky…

This fighting has been going on for two days and one night. Nobody wants to fight this kind of war; the Self-Defense Forces don't want to, and neither do the West African soldiers.

But military orders are absolute; disobeying them will result in death.

Especially for West African soldiers, disobeying orders would result in their entire family being imprisoned in a water dungeon; obeying orders would lead to them dying in battle and receiving honors, ensuring their entire family would never have to worry about anything again.

and so…

"kill!"

A West African soldier, his eyes blazing with fury, leaped into the corner where five members of the self-defense force were gathered, and then, amidst their cries and wails, pulled the explosive device on his back without hesitation.

There was no fuse delay; it exploded instantly.

boom!
The northeast corner of the six-story residential building was forcibly ripped open, and after shaking violently, it slowly collapsed.

Below, West African soldiers and Japanese Self-Defense Force members, unable to escape in time, were caught in a battle. The former only had eyes for the enemy, while the latter only wanted to escape. They were both then engulfed by concrete.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of explosions, unique to West Africa, echoed from the ruins.

Similar scenes were common along the 20-kilometer-long front.

Therefore, the remaining 20 reservists of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have lost all fighting spirit, and at least two-thirds of them have suffered emotional breakdowns.

"I want to go home!"

"They are devils, they must have been brainwashed!"

"I want to contact the International Military Tribunal for the former Allied Forces of the 21 West African Nations and the Southeast Asian Allied Forces for violating regulations by using psychotropic drugs on their soldiers. I have evidence!"

Unfortunately, 15 legions from the Southeast Asian countries, totaling 52 troops, have already arrived in central Mexico.

Together with the remaining 10 troops from the 12 legions in West Africa and the remaining 8 troops from the agricultural legions of the oil-producing countries, the total strength of the combined fleet is still twice that of the North American and Self-Defense Forces.

In this fierce battle for control of the city, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, who were fighting alongside North America, had no time to rest and no means of contacting the outside world.

at last.

Two hours later.

The Japanese Self-Defense Force reservists, who were hiding on the island, suddenly received encrypted military orders from the Japanese mainland.

Soon, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces retreated across the board, allowing the Allied forces of the Combined Fleet to easily break through the defenses of León and pour into the Mexican Plateau.

If we can seize the railway line to the northeast, the Combined Fleet might be able to enter Texas tonight.

at this time.

The 2nd Heavy Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division, which was stuck on the edge of the Mexican Plateau, was sleeping, talking on the phone, playing cards, and playing video games behind the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' defense line.

When the radar and infrared early warning systems detected a large number of unknown markers, chaos erupted instantly.

"Enemy attack!"

"Blackie is charging in!"

"Bullshit, where are the Self-Defense Forces?"

The 2nd Heavy Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division, realizing what was happening, hastily engaged in battle, only to discover to their astonishment that 70 M109A6-155mm self-propelled howitzers and 9 M270 multiple rocket launchers in the camp had been towed away by hand tractors from the 21st West African nation.

Fortunately, the combined forces of the Combined Fleet did not intend to stop or break through the second line of defense, which relieved the 2nd Heavy Armored Brigade.

They immediately began to vent their anger on the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

For a moment, the two sides were punching and kicking each other.

The head of the Japanese Self-Defense Force stationed in Mexico, watching the Self-Defense Force members being humiliated by North American soldiers, and the head of the North American 1st Cavalry Division who slapped himself, endured it all but ultimately did not take out his little gun and kill the other party.

...

A hotel within the Xiwang Group.

Welch obtained the brain-computer interface agreement and left that same day.

Old Smith recently acquired a number of European stocks and shares from the three families. Although the Smith family members were handling the matter, he needed to personally intimidate European Jews. Therefore, he flew directly to Northern Europe via Hansi International Airport.

Two years ago, George H.W. Bush divided his assets among his sons. George W. Bush inherited political resources, while Jeb Allen inherited the Carlisle Group. Jeb Allen was only responsible for the general direction and therefore had nothing to do.

But too many things have happened recently: the Mexican conflict, the brain-computer interface market, plus the oil-producing countries joining the WTO, Russia joining the WTO, and the US strategic missteps...

So, with a heavy heart, I stayed behind.

2 month 21 number.

Fujima made a secret visit, and Li Changheng, the general manager of Sanyuan Agriculture, hosted him.

Fujima is one of our own; he understands what we mean without us even having to say a word.

For example, if Japan were to turn its back on North America, the three countries would definitely provide the most advanced weaponry currently available, including anti-missile systems, and could even help disguise the three countries' weaponry as being developed and produced by Japan itself.

For example, as long as Japan turns its back on North America, the three financial systems will never freeze any funds deposited in the concessions by Japan, and will provide war loans.

For example, if Japan were to turn its back on North America, the three powers could provide food, crude oil, gunpowder, metals, and so on at low prices.

For example, if Japan were to turn its back on North America, the countries of Southeast Asia and 21 countries in West Africa could provide military advisors.

The idea that Japan is betraying North America sounds incredibly absurd.

Before World War II, in the 17th century, the Qing Dynasty had the world's largest economy. Even in the mid-18th century, the Qing Dynasty's economy still accounted for 25% of the global total, ranking second only to England. Yet, the Japanese islands still managed to provoke the Qing Dynasty.

Take Germany, for example. Despite its defeat in World War I and the resulting poverty and hardship, it still managed to sweep across Europe.

Therefore, the battle for national destiny is all about gambling. If you lose, you continue to be a coward; if you win, you can turn your life around in one fell swoop.

Now, what Fujima has to do is gamble with the Japanese islands, betting that they won't sink.

Of course, the actions of the Japanese islands were kept secret from the outside world thanks to the cover provided by the three systems and the ability to tamper with and block the Xintai database.

Even though North America noticed that Japan was redeploying troops and ships, they mistakenly believed it was to support Mexico.

Therefore, the world is like the calm before the storm, nothing happens.

at the same time.

Yu Yang then took Lao Bu to visit the gas pipeline project in the central district of Dongshan Prefecture, as well as many other projects invested in Dongshan Prefecture by the Carlisle Group and the Smith family.

After the three parties signed the agreement, funds were gradually put in place, and Dongshanfu ushered in an unprecedented period of large-scale development.

It has attracted not only nearly a million workers, but also countless small and medium-sized enterprises and job seekers of all kinds.

The morning of the 22nd.

Yu Yang and Lao Bu visited the construction site of the Olympic Sports Center.

On the road.

"Mr. Bu, with the Ice Bear joining the WTO, the best trading partner is Europe. Europe has been continuously exploited and oppressed by North America, and now, with the arrival of a mixed European fleet in the South Seas, the three systems have severed ties with Europe. Europe will definitely welcome the Ice Bear. Tell me, if the Ice Bear unites with Europe, who will be the most worried?"
