This is naturally based on the strange political atmosphere in Japan where there is an unspoken understanding and a sense of "reading the room." But it's not just in politics; it's the same in society as well. Society also needs to be read.

Li Xinghe wants to make a movie, and the top leader of Japan is involved. Does Japanese society dare to say 'no'?

They had to support Li Xinghe in every way possible.

This was the most powerful man in Japanese history, an emperor even more powerful than MacArthur.

You need to learn to read the room!

If his movies fizzle out, the atmosphere won't be very good.

Despite the many erotic scenes, the film's main theme is actually suitable for all ages.

The biggest highlight of the entire film is actually several incredibly erotic scenes, which would only qualify for an R16+ rating in mainstream cinemas. They're just one step away from being Category III films, but upon closer inspection, they don't actually cross the line.

The girls, of course, came to see Li Xinghe half-naked, fantasizing that they were the female lead. The boys, on the other hand, came to imagine what they would do if they were Li Xinghe.

As for military enthusiasts, they come to witness the scenes repeatedly shown in the plot: tanks taking to the streets, armored vehicles patrolling, machine guns pointed at civilians, and special forces blocking the streets. They also get a critical experience of the feeling of cannons roaring together in a Category III film with an all-female cast, and the feeling of the upper and lower houses of the House of Lords sharing a common soul.

Li Xinghe then took a moment to ask Wu Qi'ai, "Did your classmates go to the movies?"

My wife winks at Li Xinghe:

"Your classmates all say you're so handsome."

As for the plot, most young people don't understand it.

Yes, they generally don't understand the film's central theme. To these politically clueless young people, it's just a classic Japanese propaganda drama about an American spy being influenced by the female prime minister, falling in love with and protecting Japan.

The Japanese are particularly susceptible to this kind of propaganda. They spend money to hire actors and authors from many countries around the world to repeatedly say "the whole world loves Japan" in variety shows, movies, and TV dramas, and to write "Japan is number one in the world" in books. This kind of domestic propaganda is the main business direction for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to spend money on.

Many Chinese netizens find these idiotic actions incomprehensible, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishing a list of Chinese scholars receiving Japanese funding. Their main purpose is simply to demonstrate how hard they work and how many propaganda mouthpieces they've recruited. Creating trouble for China and stirring up trouble on the Chinese internet are merely peripheral tasks for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; their primary business is deceiving the entire Japanese public 365 days a year.

In Chinese terms, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is spending money to recruit "Volatov-style influencers" globally to fawn over Japan from every angle.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Maria, who were in charge of the US side, took some time to hold an internal strategy meeting with Li Xinghe.

Aiman ​​reminded Li Xinghe:

"The U.S. ambassador to Japan didn't say anything, but it's clear that the U.S. strategic community is starting to stir."

This film is the first modern political film in Japan to directly criticize the United States by name.

So Maria searched through many think tank articles and said to Li Xinghe:

"The Quincy National Institute said that after watching the film, it was as if an untamed ambition was swelling."

"McKinsey criticized the film, saying that the female characters were completely naked, which more blatantly demonstrated Li Xinghe's ambition to break free from American control."

"The Boston Consulting Group believes that Japan under Li Xinghe's leadership has shown a typical 'Sinicization' shift, characterized by 'confrontation with the United States.' Japan in the past would not have dared to make such an anti-American film by name."

After recounting the representative opinions of several think tank papers, Ayman smiled and concluded:

"Generally speaking, no one is stupid. They have basically come to the conclusion that 'the plot is all right, but the motives are all wrong.'"

What's bad about Li Xinghe is that the stories he writes are based on real events, which only happened a few years ago.

But how can we explain psychological things like a character's motivation? Even if you crack open their head, you still can't understand the changes in a person's mind, so let's just leave it at that.

"Humph."

Li Xinghe, however, saw in these evaluations the extreme weakness of the think tank and academic circles in Europe and America.

Amidst the rise of populism, these elitist think tank scholars, even if they see various problems, can only lament their predicament and entertain themselves with their articles. The US government simply ignores these think tanks.

Therefore, Li Xinghe told Hu Zhantian:

"Continue the attack; fighter jets in the air will escort you."

……

In Ukraine, under a gray, snowy sky, Hu Zhantian and his staff walked through a steel factory.

Several former factory directors who had long been dismissed from the steel plant returned, along with veteran civil servants and Communist Party members from Dnipro Oblast, to explain the current situation in the region to Hu Zhantian:

"The population of Dnipro Oblast is less than 300 million, with only 50 men of working age and 120 million women. Steel mills have not been operating on a large scale for a long time."

"The Petrovsky steel plant currently has a steel production capacity of less than 400 million tons per year, which is basically..."

Some people even said:

"In reality, the figure of 50 is misleading. This is because a large portion of the population is either fleeing or involved in gray or black market industries, and they don't participate in social production at all. If our state were to maintain full industrial operation and smelt 2200 million tons of steel annually, we would need at least 50 full-time workers to participate in large-scale production. Even with the addition of able-bodied women, it would be difficult to resume operations. Moreover, we do not have a sufficient supply of coal because those coalfields are in Donbas."

Without coal mines, no machinery can be powered.

"Don't worry, I've already sent people to place an order with Russia for the coalfield," Hu Zhantian said, coughing.

"What about the population? Without workers, we have nothing."

Ukraine's population distribution is very regular, with a roughly one-to-one ratio of children aged 0-14.

The working-age population (15-64 years old) is generally one man and two women. For those over 65, the ratio is typically one man and two women. The male-to-female ratio is 1:2 in both cases.

Such a population distribution ratio is obviously extremely unreasonable, because not all adult men and women can enter the workforce; it would be good if half of them could.

Regarding the population, Hu Zhantian could only say: "Based on the current situation, we will recruit Chinese university graduates and Southeast Asian Chinese workers to come to Ukraine to work."

Ukrainians are naturally not happy about this, but with their population structure on the verge of extinction, they can only admit that this method is still usable.

Of course, some civil servants also made suggestions to Hu Zhantian:

"Moreover, these companies are all privately owned, and mostly run by oligarchs..."

In fact, the major capital enterprises in Dnipro Oblast have long been divided up by Ukrainian oligarchs. (The last part, "你林有想,你林在在好,你林在在好,?", appears to be unrelated and possibly spam/advertisement. It has been left as is.)

The assets in this location are primarily controlled by two oligopolistic companies: the Priva Group and System Capital Management Group. The former is owned by Gennady Bogoryukov, a native Ukrainian Jew from Dnipro, whose headquarters have been moved to the UK and Switzerland. The latter is owned by Renato Akhmetov, a Volga Tatar from Donetsk.

These two Ukrainian oligarchs were supporters of the Orange Revolution, which ignited the bloody conflict in eastern Ukraine in 2014.

Hu Zhantian smiled; he felt he had grasped the key point.

"Private ownership? What are you talking about? I hereby declare that all designated heavy industries and important enterprises in Dnipro Oblast, such as Petrovsky Steel Plant, Yuzhmash Armory, Dniprovia Aviation, and Nikopol Titanium Alloy Plant, will be nationalized."

These companies were generally acquired by local mafia bosses and thieves after Ukraine's independence.

Moreover, after grasping this key point, the coalition forces formulated a strategic policy of 'fully nationalizing 200 heavy industry enterprises and resuming production'.

The staff officers called it:

"Since we're going to cosplay the Soviet Union, let's go all the way."

The established Ukrainian Cheka and KGB, guided by former employees of the Ukrainian State Security Service, became aware of the oligarchs' movements.

The staff officer told Hu Zhantian:

“That wealthy Jewish businessman has been in Britain for a long time, and it will probably be difficult to find him now. But the Volga Tatar is still in the country. Let’s send him a notice. Tell him that we intend to let him take full responsibility for all the assets of the wealthy Jewish businessman that we confiscated in Dnipropetrov Oblast, as long as he supports our entry into Kiev. Everything is negotiable.”

"Row."

We will never be hesitant when it's time to embrace capitalism, and we will never be soft-hearted when it's time to embrace socialism.

So the CCP actually sent someone to tell Renato that all the companies they had seized from the Ukrainian Jewish Priva Group should be handed over to Renato for management.

Renato Akhmetov did indeed have some doubts.

He first sent people to secretly observe the area and found that various small private businesses were still operating normally. The coalition forces were currently focusing on restoring the production capacity of steel mills and machinery factories, and producing fighter jets, artillery and tanks in Ukraine before leisurely coming over from Kyiv.

The reason is simple: Renato still owns a large number of heavy industrial enterprises, and he feels that the coalition forces need his help. Apart from him, there are not many people in Ukraine who can manage them.

As soon as they arrived in Dnipro, they were brutally beaten by several tall and strong Chinese soldiers, dragged off the vehicle, and taken directly to the banks of the Dnipro River.

"What are you doing? I'm here to negotiate! You didn't invite me here..."

Following Renato Akhmetov's arrest, the coalition forces immediately began a nationwide live broadcast.

Hu Zhantian announced to the Ukrainians:

"Fellow citizens of Ukraine. Now we will execute the enemy of the people, the mafia boss, the tyrant, the embezzler of state assets, Renato!"

The news spread, and Ukraine was shocked.

The Red Flag March had barely ended when the Ukrainian CCP launched its latest and most outrageous bombshell: the live-streamed execution of Ukraine's richest man, Renato Akhmetov, a notorious mafia boss, financier of violent groups, and a Ukrainian Volga Tatar capitalist!

On the television screen, Renato was shown with his hands tightly bound, placed on the execution ground.

A group of soldiers wearing blue caps and military overcoats came out; some were Ukrainians and some were Chinese.

"Cheka?"

Ukrainians watched the live broadcast with bated breath.

Until the very last moment before the Cheka officer in his blue hat pulled the trigger, the Ukrainians did not believe that this distant force from China would dare to fire on Ukraine's richest man.

But... bang.

Renato, who stole state assets, colluded with the Mafia, funded the Orange Revolution to overthrow the government, and supported the growth of neo-Nazi groups, was thus executed.

Now, the coalition forces have achieved another monumental feat of creation.

They actually livestreamed the execution of the richest man!

Then, the coalition forces started doing something drastic again.

They announced a nationalization strategy to the entire Ukrainian population:

"We will nationalize the assets of the Priva Group and the assets of the System Asset Management Group. Their mines, metallurgical plants, airlines, financial investment groups, real estate, telecommunications businesses, financial businesses, and energy businesses should all belong to the people of Ukraine."

"We will organize the people to resume production, eliminate all neo-Nazis, drug traffickers, human traffickers, and gun dealers. We will eradicate gangs, black markets, and black forces! This country has been mired in depravity and corruption for too long. Only fire can rejuvenate it. Let the red flag burn again in Ukraine!"

Renato's death completely shocked Ukraine.

I'm awesome! (Total!)

The Ukrainians stared in disbelief as the blue-hatted Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel, reminiscent of the 90s, dragged Renato's body away on television, unable to calm down for a long time.

Should I join the Communist Party?

Only a fool would go.

run!

The public's first reaction was to run away.

Most Ukrainians oppose the Communist Party. Forty years of anti-communist education have deeply imprinted their opposition to the return of the Communist Party. Whenever the Communist Party is mentioned, the first things they recall are poverty, backwardness, starvation, the unreasonable Stalin, and Gorbachev's disintegration of the country.

This is why, with its population already hovering around 20 million, Ukraine has once again seen a massive exodus of Ukrainians.

Although it wasn't a second Russo-Ukrainian war, the effects of the Communist Party's return were far more terrifying than the original Russo-Ukrainian war.

Theoretically speaking, when it's impossible to confront the Communist Party militarily, inducing all of society's elites to flee is the best way to cause chaos. After all, the CCP lacks the ability to cultivate elites; it's like letting a child manage a company—problems are bound to arise.

But Hu Zhantian remained remarkably calm:

"Let them run away. If they run away with 10 managers, we'll bring in 100 from the country. If they run away with 50 financial managers, we'll bring in 500 financial managers from the country. The vast majority of drug traffickers, gun dealers, and human traffickers will run to Poland and Germany, leaving behind clean Ukrainian soil, women, and factories—that's what we need."

According to the latest estimates, of the remaining 20 million people in Ukraine, about 3 million laborers will flee.

This ironically became good news for the coalition forces to recruit people.

They went back to the country and spread the message among the people:

"Friends, the good news is that you won't have to worry about jobs. There are at least 500 million jobs in Ukraine waiting for you to take them. And they are all respectable jobs with technical requirements, from agricultural experts to steel engineers, and even aircraft designers and rocket designers, all of them."

University and vocational college students asked one after another:

"And the bad news?"

The bad news, of course, is the lack of freedom under the total mobilization and mass production system.

But the coalition's propaganda personnel have learned their lesson:

"The bad news is that the Communist Party assigns jobs and housing, while the church takes care of living expenses and wives. There's no freedom."

The naive students were overjoyed.

Is this bad news? It's good news!

Wild cheers resounded throughout the country.

Good news for graduates from second-tier, third-tier, and even vocational colleges! Even if they can't get into big companies, surely they can afford a plane ticket to Ukraine? Delivering takeout for a month or borrowing a few thousand yuan from their parents, even as the price of plane tickets to Ukraine quadrupled, hasn't dampened their enthusiasm for flying to Ukraine.

Of course, they only realized the bad news was true once they arrived in Ukraine.

Once you're here, don't even think about leaving. You're all just cogs in the machine of society's mass production. Don't even think about quitting your job, and don't even think about getting rid of your wife.

There is truly no freedom here.
