Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"Toyota wants to go against the bureaucracy. Now things get interesting." Higashikawa Yukimi smiled, with an expression of having found prey on her face.

The relationship between the zaibatsu and the bureaucrats in Japan is very complicated, but it is not entirely the zaibatsu that rules Japan.

After all, even in Western countries, the iron fist of institutional power composed of powerful politicians and administrative bureaucrats is still an important tool for curbing the chaebols. It's just that the system is public and the individuals are private. Capital can use the power of personal desire to guide power and then use it for its own benefit. This method, which is similar to half-induction and half-brainwashing, is called dominance.

It is generally used in areas such as aesthetic thinking training, but in recent years it has often been cited in the process of capital's capture of power.

However, this kind of control is only the most basic form of inducement.

Once faced with truly major matters, the bureaucrats still show strong fighting spirit.

The problems Toyota is facing cannot be solved by offering monetary inducements.

“Are we going to take action against Toyota?”

Li Xinghe rubbed his hands and had already figured out how to attack Toyota in the stock market.

Japanese bureaucrats clearly realized that the era of electric cars had arrived. So they constantly formulated policies to require Toyota to develop electric cars, and even used Toyota's controlling shareholder to force Toyota to comply. However, after ten years of repeated rotations between "right and wrong", Toyota finally realized a basic fact:

We cannot compete with China in electric cars in terms of cost and market. It is better to give up our own electric cars and continue to hold on to the existing gasoline car market. We can talk about the future later. Survival is more important than anything else.

But the Japanese bureaucrats really can't hold it anymore. They have supported you for decades, counting on your iron fist to protect their country, and you just abandon your land and run away thousands of miles away?

Both sides were fighting over this matter.

Each side has its own reasons and neither can convince the other.

Toyota's share repurchase and capital unbundling are intended to increase its autonomy and avoid joint blockade by bureaucrats and other chaebols.

Although he resigned from the position of president, Akio Toyoda, who left his post but not his power, said: "If the auto industry leaves Japan, Japan will be finished, and I don't think Japan is making any efforts to change."

The subtext is that Japan is really not good at making electric trains. If you force me again, I will die today to show you.

As I said, unless you are the most shameless comprador, even a feudal landlord knows that this national industry must be managed well in order to survive.

Unfortunately, at this time, Li Xinghe wanted to become the most shameless traitor and sell the whole of Japan at the best price.

Chapter 197: Blade Sakura Project, Japanese Bullying, and the Company's Old Man

In the morning, the ninth department of the Public Security Department went to work.

As the most mysterious department within the Metropolitan Police Department, the identities of the members of the Public Security Department's Ninth Department are kept secret from the outside world. But internally, when those departments consisting only of men see several tall female police officers surrounding a playboy, they know it is the Public Security Department's Ninth Department.

"You didn't sleep well last night, have some bread." Fuji Rie cared about her younger brother the most and took out two loaves of bread from her pocket.

"Hehehe, isn't Lihui too good to her brother?"

Master Yuzi came up and tried to snatch it, but was pinned down by Fuji Rie, and a friendly chase soon ensued in the office.

While Li Xinghe was slumped in his chair and falling asleep, and Tokawa Yukimi was remotely monitoring the Hukokuji missile base, Public Security Minister Tsuchiya Akitane walked into the office with a little beauty.

"Good morning everyone, stop making a fuss, I'm going to introduce you to a new colleague today."

He clapped his hands, and a beautiful girl came forward with a sweet smile. She was the daughter of Hayashi Yuko, the suspect in the assassination of Councillor Kamikawa Yoko sent by Kishida some time ago.

"Lin Meng?" Li Xinghe was surprised.

He hasn't even made the progress to recruit this person into the team, so how come Tsuchiya Akiin was brought here?

Tsuchiya Akitoshi introduced:

"Yes. This Miss Lin Meng was originally an ace pilot of the Self-Defense Forces Flying Corps and the poster girl of the Air Self-Defense Force. Recently, we received her active application at a special job fair initiated by the Public Security Bureau to collect intelligence on US bases. She is willing to help us make further progress in the public security cause. Please applaud her."

After some introduction, Lin Meng officially joined the company.

However, she is still a pilot of the Air Self-Defense Force on the surface, so she doesn't go to work every day.

After blocking everyone else, Tsuchiya Xiaoyin handed Li Xinghe a draft plan:

"This is the Ministry of Public Security's Blade Sakura Project. Your code name is 'Blade Sakura'. The Foreign Affairs Division has tailored a plan for you. You are now a frustrated young man. Your girlfriend, Air Self-Defense Force poster girl Lin Meng, has been investigated by the Public Security Bureau for the suspected murder of Councillor Kamikawa Yoko. The two of you have been constantly harassed by the Japanese Public Security Bureau because of your Chinese surnames and ancestry, so you are feeling depressed. So you are hanging out in nightclubs near the Chinese Embassy in Roppongi to create some encounters with Chinese people. Then you will meet formally at the 'Sino-Japanese Exchange Chamber of Commerce' and get acquainted with Chinese diplomats. This is the first step in the entire embedding operation."

Lin Meng next to her suddenly widened her innocent eyes. She didn't expect that this plan also had pornographic elements.

Li Xinghe curled his lips.

You old thief, you know the contradictions between China and Japan very well.

This plan is very simple and easy to implement. Li Xinghe can take it back and discuss it with Wu Jianzhong and Dongchuan Bluebird.

But Tsuchiya Akitane continued:

"From now on, the actual duties of the nine departments of the Public Security Department will be adjusted. Affairs related to the United States will be reduced, and the focus will be on intelligence gathering on China. In other words, you should make use of your Chinese advantage."

"But I've already mixed into the American circle. Should I stop here?"

Li Xinghe wanted to argue with Tsuchiya Xiaoyin, but the cunning old spy didn't want to talk anymore:

"American affairs are diplomacy. You can't argue about them easily. If something goes wrong, you have to take responsibility. The Japan-US Security Treaty Protection Division will track you down and ruin your future. But targeting Toyota is politics. The congressmen are trying to gain popularity for themselves, but in the end, no one is responsible. Do you understand?"

Although he has been a spy for a long time, Tsuchiya Akitsugu is indeed sensitive to politics.

Why did Toyota suddenly become the target of lawmakers' attacks when the United States wanted to adjust its policy toward Japan?

This is not a conspiracy theory, but because the lawmakers who are preparing for the election need a target to establish their reputation. If they don't boost the morale of right-wing supporters, the Liberal Democratic Party's election prospects will really be ruined.

Beat the Americans?

Although the congressmen are all stupid, they will not volunteer to die. You can see that several stubborn congressmen died in unclear circumstances.

Since they couldn't beat the Americans, they could only find a boss from the backup targets, and it had to be one that wouldn't fight back. So they looked around and if they couldn't beat the Americans, they would fight the Japanese.

As it happens, Toyota, the representative of the Japanese auto industry, is facing a global recession. Its negotiating and slowness over the past decade has caused great problems in the government and business circles. Members of parliament and bureaucrats are angry that Toyota has not achieved any results despite continuous subsidies, while the media, while taking resources from the political world, is angry that Toyota has repeatedly become a shameless background board and has been blasted by neighboring China and South Korea.

So just because there was a long-standing grievance and just because there was a demand, the drama of all walks of life besieging Toyota like mad dogs began.

"Yes."

Li Xinghe said this, but he was not prepared to give up at all.

After Tsuchiya Xiaoyin left, Lin Meng tilted his head and asked in a low voice:

"It seems that you and the Minister are not on particularly good terms."

"You're right, the old man is trying to suppress my momentum." Li Xinghe was annoyed.

Tsuchiya Akitsugu is very Japanese, very sinister, saying one thing but slyly doing things behind people's backs.

And he didn't go too far, so that Li Xinghe couldn't find any evidence to fight back.

Seeing that Li Xinghe was in a bad mood, Lin Meng asked cautiously:

"If I don't come, something will happen. In fact, the police and the public security have already suspected me. When Minister Tsuchiya found me, he directly said that he knew the truth about the stabbing of Councillor Kamikawa Yoko. If I don't work for the Ministry of Public Security, he will reveal this to the LDP Kishida faction councillors and say that he can make my sister's life worse than death... Besides... I still need your help with my mother's case."

Her mother, Lin Youzi, is currently imprisoned in Fuzhong Prison, and it will take many years for her to go through the legal process. As long as the murder weapon is not found, she will be released in a few years.

Li Xinghe saw that she was innocent and comforted her:

"I have your motorcycle lock gun. I have hidden it in a top-secret place. No one will find it."

Of course Lin Meng thanked him repeatedly.

Her life and her mother's life are in the hands of Li Xinghe, so even though Tsuchiya Xiaoyin intends to use Lin Meng as a wedge, Li Xinghe can counter him.

Lin Meng's arrival did not cause any trouble in the small office.

Except for Fuji Rie who was kept in the dark, everyone knew who was the ultimate boss of this office.

......

Takajo Satsuki used a unicycle to spread the terrible plan of the United States to turn Japan into a war fortress on the Internet, but it did not achieve any results. Most people thought she was a monkey sent by the Communist Party.

The next day, Toyota was inundated with press releases.

Weekly Bunshun, which is always in the entertainment industry, rarely played the political card and blasted Akio Toyoda: "Toyota's retro government: Ogosho Akio Toyoda, although he retired, he did not give up his power. Why is he so feudal and autocratic?"

Not long ago, they were praising Akio Toyoda for his power, saying he was like a great general.

Weekly Bunshun’s firing is just the opening salvo.

The Yomiuri Shimbun sharply criticized Toyota today: "It is no longer able to innovate, nor is it able to maintain its business, and it cannot even survive on its own."

The Sankei Shimbun, which claims to be a salesman for the LDP, was even more blunt in its criticism: "Corrupt and incompetent, he is an old thief."

Several other newspapers also launched special topics on Toyota and began a major campaign to crack down on it.

The attacks from these newspapers were not the main attack. The various news TV stations they controlled repeatedly broadcast videos that were anti-Toyota, exposed Toyota's inside story, and even leaked secrets by Toyota's Chinese employees, and invited a bunch of commentators to attack Toyota wholeheartedly. Especially the Sankei Shimbun, which controlled Fuji TV, and the attacks continued day and night.

Once the Japanese media industry gets started, it launches an overwhelming cognitive bombardment.

With coverage from the five major newspapers, six major TV stations, various online media and offline media, as long as one is a person, he will never be able to completely shield himself from the media bombardment, and will eventually be shaped into the perception that "Toyota is old and dilapidated, it dismantles BYD cars at home every day, and it has not been able to reverse engineer them for ten years, Akio Toyoda is feudal and has the final say, Toyota is in chaos and submissive, and the management is unable to solve innovation problems."

Even those who know some of the inside story can't help but think:

It seems to be true?

But this is exactly the perception that the Japanese media, with the help of big donors and major political parties, want to convey to the public.

As long as the impression of Toyota deteriorates, Toyota's stock will plummet, it will be more difficult for them to raise funds in the financial system, and Toyota cars will become increasingly difficult to sell.

As a result, Toyota must bow to politicians, work hard to develop cutting-edge electric vehicles, and bow to other financial chaebols and offer more favorable financing interest rates.

Despite being attacked from all sides, Toyota remained unmoved and continued to spend money to buy back shares and pursue an independent strategy.

In the end, while the public was arguing that Toyota had big problems, the real big problems were intentionally or unintentionally ignored.

Those war plans that the United States would make major strategic adjustments and turn Japan into a battlefield fortress have become only ridiculed Internet conspiracy theories, lingering on in certain corners.

Li Xinghe finally found an opportunity to meet with Wu Jianzhong.

He invested in the 'Aoyama Villa Virtual Anchor Paradise Project' built by Takajo Satsuki, and the transformation was finally successful.

In a sense, he is now also the lifelong enemy of many Japanese otakus, the 'old man in the corporate executive'.

Chapter 198: Bomb Maniac, Money Laundering Master

"The old man is targeting us."

In the office, several female police officers were cursing.

Anyone who is not stupid will find that forcing Li Xinghe to transfer to the "Blade Sakura" China plan when he has already opened up relevant channels in the United States is a soft containment of Li Xinghe to make another contribution. Perhaps in Tsuchiya Xiaoyin's opinion, Li Xinghe had better be honest and stop doing stupid things for a while, otherwise it will make the predecessors look incompetent.

Of course, it may also be because Li Xinghe captured Niizawa Geng with great fanfare and broke up a right-wing group they controlled, so he was retaliated by Ryota Nakagori of the Foreign Affairs Section 3.

The Japanese workplace is so unpleasant.

Higashikawa Yukimi calmly flipped through the video records and said casually, "Don't worry. Tsuchiya Akitane is still a long way from crushing us. Once the missile... thing is resolved, we can move offices."

According to the existing video records, not only Yamagata Arinori, but also several Japanese aerospace rocket experts entered and exited the site. Some were unfavorable, while others seemed respectful. Higashikawa Yukimi was ready to get another breakthrough from the experts who did not want to participate in the project.

As long as this secret plan is breached and exposed to the international community, Japan's political landscape will change drastically, leading to the downfall of a number of political forces.

Li Xinghe wanted to contact Wu Jianzhong as soon as possible, so he put down his teacup and said to Lin Meng:

"Come on, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment first."

What environment are you familiar with?

Of course, it’s the nightclubs, nightclubs and bars in Roppongi.

Lin Meng got into Li Xinghe's car and found that the car was full of photos of Dongchuan Xuemi. She felt even more indescribable about this strange department and this strange person.

When Li Xinghe was about to light the fire, he suddenly stopped and ordered Lin Meng: "Hand it over."

"What?" Lin Meng pouted instantly.

"What's that hard thing under your leg?" Li Xinghe asked speechlessly.

Because she was sitting down, some things that shouldn't be exposed were exposed. Lin Meng could only shyly unzip her skirt and hand over the iron pipe bomb she made. Obviously, she really wanted to die with the police.

Are you some kind of homemade bomb freak?

While complaining, Li Xinghe dismantled her homemade gun and removed the electric ignition device.

Logically speaking, he previously thought that Tsuchiya Akihime sent Lin Meng to him to cause trouble, but now he speculates that Tsuchiya Akihime might be afraid that Lin Meng would self-destruct in his office.

He took out a New South M60 from the storage box in the workshop and handed it to Lin Meng: "Take it."
