Chapter 595 Tanaka becomes the new prime minister

Chapter 595 Tanaka Juzo becomes the new prime minister
Five days after the public memorial service, Tanaka Juzo unsurprisingly received the highest number of votes within the ruling party and became the president of the Justice and People's Party.

Seven days after the public memorial service, Tanaka Juzo became the new Prime Minister of Japan. He left the Diet amidst a crowd of admirers and then delivered a speech as the new Prime Minister.

"I am delighted to become the new Prime Minister of Japan. Japan faces enormous challenges in all aspects, and I will act as its Prime Minister to address them."

After a barrage of political rhetoric, Tanaka Juzo also began announcing the positions of cabinet ministers.

Chief Cabinet Secretary: Sakurajima XX
Finance Minister:
Of the 19 cabinet positions, two are held by retired police officers. One of them is Defense Minister Shingen Akimoto, the grandfather of Seiko Akimoto, who previously served as the chief of the Kanagawa Ward in Yokohama.

Gen Yamada, the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, was the head of the Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department two years ago.

In addition, nine of the remaining 17 spots are reserved for Naoki Hanyu and Juzo Tanaka.

For example, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism was from the Takemi family, and the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries was a disciple and assistant of Tanaka Juzo.

In short, this prime ministerial election was a resounding victory for the police and Yuzuru Hanyu's faction.
.
Ichiro Asayama watched the television with a gloomy expression. He was also a member of the House of Representatives, but he did not attend the meeting this time because he disliked it.

The Masan faction actually got a meaningless position as Minister of Local Revitalization, even though they provided 35 votes in support. Someone is really going too far.

Just then, Ichiro Asayama received a call from his trusted confidant.

"The National Public Safety Commission has approved the personnel change plan, and four of the five people are Naoki Hanyu's people."

Furthermore, Tanaka Juzo personally stepped forward to pass the National Police Agency reform plan, citing the need to better protect Japan as the reason, and described how the police struggled against the rebels on the night of the coup, and how they suffered heavy casualties due to the disparity in weaponry.

They also said that a coup might not happen again, but the YMCA's weapons were comparable to those of the 1st Division, and the police would be severely lacking in weaponry if they were to fight these terrorists.

The final plan was approved, and the Police Department's powered armored vehicle unit was officially established with 300 personnel. The special police force was increased from 12 units to 24 units, totaling 1900 personnel. An armored company equipped with main battle tanks (12 tanks) and an aviation company equipped with Apache attack helicopters (7 helicopters) were also formed.

"."

The series of messages left Ichiro Asayama completely bewildered. Was this still Japan? The police force was comparable to that of a regular army.

Asayama Ichiro hung up the phone, his voice hoarse as he muttered to himself.

"Naoki Hanyu, do you really think Japan is your personal fiefdom?"

A 50-man powered armored vehicle unit can quickly defeat an armored battalion, and now they're giving out 300 slots—even an entire division might not be a match for them.

In addition, the number of special police officers has doubled, and tank companies and armed helicopter companies have been exceptionally established, with their quality now reaching the level of an ordinary division.

To put it bluntly, the National Police Agency today can be called the Tokyo Police Division, and not even a third-tier division, but it is comparable to the former First Division.

Ichiro Asayama never imagined that the Diet would pass such an outrageous plan after he had only participated once, and that someone's power would swell with increased strength, making him even more arrogant.

"Naoki Hanyu, don't get cocky."

Am I so smug?

As soon as the voice fell, Ichiro Asayama froze. What was going on? Why was there someone else in his study? Logically speaking, his family's security was no less than that of the Prime Minister, so no one should be able to get in.

As soon as Ichiro Mayama turned his head, a hand grabbed his head, and his limbs were controlled by two people. He could only watch helplessly as the masked man who had just spoken revealed a cold smile.

"I never expected that you, as my friend, would betray me like this. How disappointing, my old friend."

"woo woo woo woo."

"Don't be afraid, it will be quick."

Hanyu Naoki's clone placed his other hand on Asayama Ichiro's heart area. As static electricity passed through his body, Asayama Ichiro's face turned bluish-purple, and his legs kicked wildly.

"woo woo woo woo."

The old man struggled for a while and then died, just like a heart attack.

The three clones tidied up the study, then left Ichiro Asayama to transform back into hair and fly away through the window.

Not long after, the Asayama family discovered that Asayama Ichiro had died in his study, and the forensic examination concluded that it was due to a heart problem.

The members of the Mayama family did not doubt this much, because Mayama Ichiro was 87 years old and did have some heart problems, so his sudden death was not too surprising.

The only people severely affected were members of the Masan faction, especially members of parliament.

The faction has been severely damaged, working for others for free, and now even its leader is dead. What will happen in the future?

However, after these flustered lawmakers attended Ichiro Asayama's funeral, Prime Minister Juzo Tanaka began visiting lawmakers from Asayama's faction.

Tanaka Juzo intended to take this opportunity to absorb the resources of the Asayama faction; he didn't want to become a stifled existence where everything was restricted.

Masan's death did not affect the police force. Internal meetings were still held, and the entire police force was filled with laughter and joy. Those who had contributed to the coup were promoted, and even if their positions did not change, their police ranks would be adjusted.

Naoki Hanyu stepped forward and gently hugged Tensei Shiratori.

"Director Shiratori, congratulations."

Looking at the young man in front of him, whom he had pushed up and who had then pulled him to the position of Superintendent General of Police, Shiratori Tenei couldn't help but feel proud. His decision back then was indeed the right one.

"Haha, congratulations to you, Deputy Director of the Police Department."

The two exchanged a smile; these past few days had been filled with joy and high spirits, and smiles were always on their faces.

Naoki Hanyu has been promoted to Vice Commissioner of the National Police Agency, concurrently serving as Director of the Special Operations Bureau. While this may seem like a minor change, under the Police Law, Hanyu has the authority to command the entire National Police Agency and can directly interfere in the affairs of other prefectural headquarters. He can be understood as the Deputy Commissioner of the National Police Agency, the second-in-command.

Besides Naoki Hanyu himself, other close confidants were also promoted.

Although Yakushiji Ryoko hasn't moved yet, after Uemura Koichi retires in two years, Hanyu Naoki will likely be promoted to Commissioner of the National Police Agency, and the position of Vice Commissioner will very likely go to Yakushiji Ryoko.

After Jingu Futaba was promoted to deputy commissioner, Muromachi Yukiko was naturally promoted to superintendent and took over the position of deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Miwako Sato succeeded Yukiko Muromachi as Minister of Public Security and Superintendent General of Police.

Seiko Akimoto already holds the rank of Superintendent General. In six months, once the Director of the Security Bureau retires, the current Minister of Criminal Investigation, Rikuo Fukuda, will become the Director of the Security Bureau. At that time, Seiko Akimoto will smoothly take over as Minister of Criminal Investigation, and her rank will be promoted to Superintendent General.

Due to her outstanding performance during the coup, Fujiwara Mai became the head of the Special Investigation Division 1 of the Special Investigation Bureau and a Superintendent.

Ryosuke Shiraishi performed exceptionally well on the night of the coup, earning him the title of Captain of the Special Operations Unit 3 and Superintendent.

Heiji Shiratori, with four years of experience since graduation, serves as the captain of the Special Operations Bureau's Mobile Squad 4, and is a Superintendent.

Although Yamada Yamato, Kobayakawa Miyuki, and others have not been promoted to Superintendent General and remain Superintendent Generals, they have already met the requirements for promotion and only need to wait two more years to become Superintendent Generals.

However, the person who received the most dramatic promotion was Natsumi Senbon, who led the charge and defeated the 1st Division, becoming the captain of a 300-strong powered armored unit and holding the rank of Superintendent General.

Becoming a police superintendent at the tender age of 30 is something even top police elites like Ryoko Yakushiji couldn't achieve; they were promoted to that level at 31.

The aforementioned outrageous promotions were all approved by the Public Safety Commission remotely controlled by Naoki Hanyu. Although it seems exaggerated, a closer look reveals that each person made a significant contribution.

The only drawback might be that their starting point wasn't high; apart from Heiji Shiratori, the others were only in the semi-professional group.

There are also rumors and gossip online attacking Naoki Hanyu's influence within the National Police Agency, but these attacks are quickly blocked by the cyber department. Even Naoki Hanyu's avatar stationed in the "Miss System" will be mobilized to absolutely prevent such voices from growing stronger.

As the days went by, Naoki Hanyu's life seemed to become mundane, and in fact, his position was indeed quite mundane.

In terms of politics and diplomacy, Tanaka Juzo's cabinet was responsible for handling the Japan issue and dealing with America's accusations, which led to constant wrangling and didn't bother Hanyu Naoki.

With Koichi Uemura, the highest-ranking officer, overseeing things, and Naoki Hanyu not having to personally handle the cases below, the police department is surprisingly quite idle.
.
December 18th was the day of the University of Tokyo entrance exam. Naoki Hanyu, having nothing to do, waited at the entrance of the exam hall like other parents, accompanied by the Latina beauty Jessica Alba.

However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Naoki Hanyu wore a mask and a hat.

Speaking of which, Naoki Hanyu was quite curious that two girls who were only one year apart in age got along so well. Jessica often visited Yuki Suoh's house and even tutored her.

Although Naoki Hanyu sensed that Jessica had ulterior motives, he didn't resist. It's hard to know what the two girls were talking about in private.

Naoki Hanyu glanced at his watch.

"The exam should be over soon, Jessica. Do you think Yoho will pass?"

Jessica held her head high and stood tall, making her stunning figure even more striking. It has to be said that white women mature very quickly.

With her full breasts, slim waist, perky buttocks, and long legs, coupled with her pure and sweet yet alluring face, Jessica already possesses the qualities to captivate men.

"Of course you can. Naoki-nii, if you don't have confidence in Yuki, you should have confidence in my teaching skills."

"Yes, yes, it was my fault."

Jessica suddenly brought up something she had only learned about from the news the day before yesterday.

"I heard the government plans to make Princess Locust a female Locust, is that true?"

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the girl, surprised that she would bring up this matter.

"Maybe so. It seems like he'll inherit the title of Tianhuang first, and then only fully assume the responsibilities of Tianhuang after graduating from university. You know that Tianhuang is special to this country."

"Indeed, it's a strange country."

Naoki Hanyu looked at the girl who would be a junior in college next March and asked her a question.

"What are your plans for the next two years?"

Jessica thought for a moment and then gave an answer.

"I want to intern at your company first, and then start my own business. Naoki-san, will you support me?"

"Of course, just tell me if you have any difficulties."

During the chat, Yuki Suoh finally appeared, her long black hair looking especially pure under the first snowfall.

The girl happily jumped into Naoki Hanyu's arms, looking very confident.

Naoki Hanyu patted Shao Ni on the back.

"Alright, I'll treat you to a big meal."

"Hmm, it seems like Sister Shengzi isn't coming back tonight?"

"Yes, she has a case to handle, so she can eat her fill today."
