Kyushu

Nagasaki.

Nagasaki lies at the head of a long bay which forms the best natural harbor on the southern Japanese home island of Kyushu.

The main commercial and residential area of the city lies on a small plain near the end of the bay.

Two rivers, divided by a mountain spur, form the two main valleys in which the city lies.

The point is, Xi can grab this territory, in essence, operate in it, go to Washington, and if no one in the administration calls him on it, then effectively it becomes de facto operational territory for the PRC.

And so I would recommend that the administration call out their illegal activities in these waters, at least in terms of maybe they're not technically illegal under the united nations conventional law of the sea but they're certainly aggressive towards japan taiwan pla navy now operates you know six to eight nine ships a day around taiwan and they've now since june been continuously operating chinese coast guard maritime surveys east of taiwan off the shores of Taiwan, Japanese or Chinese combatants, as you mentioned, operating near shore to Japanese home islands in Kyushu, further up closer on the Ryukyu Island chain, all threatening maneuvers matching what they've been doing for the last decade in the South China Sea against the Philippines and Vietnam and other nations down there.

So the bullies are expanding outside the first island chain.

And I think that's the real message.

more than 2,000 kilometers to the southwest of Tokyo as the crow flies, and the ships are not taking a straight line here.

So in this itinerary, you've got a first stop in Kobe, Japan, and then through the Seto Inland Sea to northern Kyushu, the most southern island of the four main ones.

and then to see again until day six when you finally reach Jilong and ride the railway to Taihoku, modern-day Taipei.

There are some suggested places to visit in Taipei.

Well, then never mind.

The evil society known as the Telephone Pole Gang seeks to take over the world by first taking over a prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan.

In order to thwart the evil plans of the Telephone Pole Gang, Imazura High School creates the Prefectural Earth Defense Force, composed of problem teachers and students from the school, including an Indian transfer student they turn into an android.

Oh, each side will use different tactics ranging from explosive weapons to seduction to get what they want.

yeah amazing okay well interesting huh all right uh so give me a little bit about the setting This was Gen 3, and where were we?

The Gen 3 was set in the Hoenn region, and the Hoenn region is sort of based off of the Japanese island of Kyushu, because all of the regions are sort of geographically linked to a real-world setting.

So it was like an island setting, there's a volcano, there's a bunch of water routes...

And a lot of surfing.
