Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Ms. Lu Yuchi easily solved this problem:

"Isn't your movie going to be released soon? Just let your mother leak some information, especially targeted promotion for left-wing audiences, it will be easy to correct your political positioning, right? Anyway, your mother is an openly left-wing director. As a son who passed the prosecutor exam, isn't it normal for you to stick to left-wing ideals? No one in the general public cares. When you need to show your position, buy off the media. If you want to promote the left, promote that you are the son of Misato Ma. If you want to promote the right, say that you went through a lot of hard work to pass the prosecutor exam and have the ideal of serving the country. As long as you don't do anything, voters won't complain about you."

Li Xinghe suddenly realized.

Display different levels of content to voters at different levels.

Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei has already comprehended the core of propaganda. She finds indirect examples to promote a certain point of view. She shoots the arrow first and then draws the target. She never speaks directly.

If you speak directly, there is no room for reversal, such as Shigeru Ishiba. He betrayed the LDP politically, defected and then defected, offended the right wing by speaking softly to China, and offended the left wing by speaking hard to the United States, and became a lone figure in the party. Another example of failure is Taro Kono, who caused a big trouble with the national ID card when he was the Minister of Digital Promotion. He was not liked by the unchanging civil service system, which led to a sharp decline in his image.

This is the unlucky guy who does practical work but ends up affecting his own image.

In other words, according to the secrets of Japanese politics that Kanoike Kaeimi has learned, the most perfect politician is a young person who does nothing, speaks ambiguously but correctly, has a good appearance that attracts young and female voters, and has multiple backgrounds. She succeeded by following this path.

When Li Xinghe sat down to chew over this truth again, he suddenly realized:

"Isn't this Shinjiro Koizumi?"

Although Koizumi's low IQ has led to many jokes, he perfectly meets all these conditions, which shows that everyone in Japanese politics has the same goal.

But it’s definitely not good to always be a master of talking nonsense. What if you are elected?

If he fails like Taro Kono, his political career will be over.

If successful, it will be... Shinzo Abe?

He slapped his thigh:

"Fuck, it turns out to be Shinzo Abe again."

Li Xinghe understood.

Wasn't Shinzo Abe's first election campaign also like this? However, after being beaten down by reality, he decisively changed his election route when he ran for the second time.

The Japanese political arena is indeed dominated by a huge Shinzo Abe.

......

The heavy rain caused by the typhoon continues.

However, after get off work, Kamei Shikamura took the risk and drove to Jian's house.

She wants to participate in the publicity and shaping of the "internal prosecutor" as quickly as possible.

When Hua Yingmei walked in gracefully, Chiyo Hinahiki, Ma Misato and Ma Mifumi were already sitting on the sofa in three places, confronting each other in a tense situation.

"No matter what, I don't agree." The rebellious nature in Jian Meisato erupted, and she did not allow Li Xinghe to participate in right-wing politics.

Jian Meixun criticized her:

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Our family may be able to train an excellent heir."

“I don’t agree with him being a right-wing stooge.”

"Can being a leftist like you save the family?"

The two sisters fought fiercely over their son's personality.

What they are struggling with is their stance.

It's finally time for Kamei Shikamura to shine.

"Moms, here I come."

She calmly opened the door and applied to operate the business herself.

The three sisters reluctantly reached a consensus on cooperation after being persuaded by their "daughter-in-law". Mami Kaoru and Chiyo Hinahime supported him in his career in the legal field, while Mami went back to continue making left-wing films for him to accumulate audiences.

The Jian family must do their best to help Li Xinghe develop his third personality.

His first character was Li Xinghe, a teen disaster and Canadian double-gun soldier. He was a little gangster who did whatever he wanted. With the help of the CIA, he sealed the United Nations youth files to ensure that they would not be leaked.

After returning to Japan, a second character was created, the public security agent and prosecutor Chiyo Hoshigawa. This is a Japanese senior national bureaucrat with an outstanding family background and a mission to revive the family. He works in a functional department while attending university. However, the identity of a dog spy cannot be disclosed to the public, so it is top secret.

The above are all common situations among upper-class citizens.

The third character, Jian Xinghe, tries to challenge himself to become a public figure and move towards politics.

......

"Bye~"

Li Xinghe stood at the door of Yamato Kani's house and watched Tsutsumi Remi and Miyaji Aimi leave with the child.

As hosts of Fuji TV, they have to get to the TV station to work as soon as possible.

Because the first televised election debate has begun.

Fuji TV, a traditionally right-wing TV station, hosted the first round of electoral debates.

Back at Yamato Ker's mansion, the wealthy young lady took a selfie with Li Xinghe and sent it to the work group of the Ninth Department of Public Security, sparking a heated discussion among everyone about the "love gossip story of a poor young man and a wealthy young lady who fell in love after being trapped in the same room due to a typhoon."

Seeing this, Kokubun Makabe came over with some juice to interrupt Yamato Ker's spell, and sat on the other side and said:

"Don't hug me, the show is already warming up."

Soon, the show began.

Eleven candidates, holding signs with their political views, lined up in front of the TV for photos. It was like a talent show.

As a right-leaning TV station, Fuji's first question was very provocative.

The host said:

"The first topic is, given the current tense situation in Northeast Asia, if something happens in the Taiwan Strait, how should Japan respond?"

This shows the most basic political stance.

All the voters are very alert. Except for the typical extreme right-wingers like Sanae Takaichi who threatened that "we must speed up our joining. If there is trouble in Taiwan, it is Japan's trouble", most politicians either avoided the topic or said unpleasant things like realists like Shigeru Ishiba, such as "we must resolutely avoid intervening in the Taiwan Strait."

But the Taiwan issue is just the appetizer.

The second question was the most serious. The host asked:

"Do you know how much a pound of rice costs?"

The eleven candidates remained silent.

Rice?

For a candidate for prime minister, who has time to go to a supermarket? Wouldn’t they rather eat a big meal in a restaurant?

As the female host, Miyaji Aimi added:

"The cheapest Niigata rice is already selling for 3300 yen per 5 kilograms. Normal unwashed rice is 5000 yen per 5 kilograms. Such high prices mean that our rice prices have reached the most expensive region in the world, and our people are already overwhelmed by the burden of rice. The pressure on ordinary families to buy rice, vegetables, meat, eggs and milk every month is very heavy."

The third host also added:

"We have an article here from the Northeast Asian Rice Price and Social Research Center. The article claims that Japan could have carried out large-scale mechanized farm reforms or lifted restrictions on imported rice, but chose the most backward and incompetent three-lose option of exploiting small farmer families, causing farmers, citizens and businesses to suffer. What do you think?"

The three hosts mixed and played in succession, with the original intention of hoping that politicians would express their stance on lowering rice prices.

Unfortunately, none of the eleven candidates have an economic policy involving rice, so no one can offer a solution.

Who dares to mess with the Agricultural Cooperative?

Therefore, when it comes to national economy and people's livelihood, which are of most concern to the people, they are submissive and perform extremely poorly.

Li Xinghe felt amused and took a picture of the scene and sent it to Zhao Liesuk.

The Northeast Asia Rice Price and Social Happiness Research Center they founded has already started soliciting articles and placing their own articles in major media. Zhao Liesuk is indeed working hard to find many researchers who care about people's livelihood to write articles criticizing the monopoly of agricultural cooperatives on grain and fertilizer sales, and publish them in the international pages of Northeast Asian countries.

Zhao Liesuk gave him a 'love' in reply.

As a right-wing TV station, Fuji's director was tired and hinted to the host to change the topic, so the host changed to the third question:

"Next topic, regarding the liquidation of the Unification Church, does anyone want to speak?"

This is an old problem. After Tetsuya Yamagami assassinated Shinzo Abe, it has been a Achilles' heel in Japanese politics.

The eleven candidates were completely silent, some with serious expressions like Sanae Takaichi, and some with idiotic expressions like Shinjiro Koizumi. But no one raised their hand.

"Does anyone want to speak?"

The host was stunned.

How can I host this?

The author says:

Author's note: Thank you for your support. The Unification Church was a spectacle during the Japanese candidate debate two days ago. Nine people dared not say a word. It was really funny.

Chapter 319: All members have low quality

"Since no one has answered, let's move on to the fourth debate topic."

The Fuji host sighed visibly,

When the debate came to the topic that Japanese people like to discuss the most, "Should a couple have the same surname?", the candidates finally became interested.

They raised the '○' and '×' in their hands and expressed their opinions vigorously.

Among the eleven candidates, Sanae Takaichi, who advocates extreme right-wing conservatism, and the young neo-conservative Kobayashi Takayuki both support having the same surname for couples, while the remaining nine candidates oppose it from multiple dimensions.

Sanae Takaichi was the first to speak: "Following Japan's fine tradition, I approve of husband and wife having the same surname."

Ishiba Shigeru stepped forward and said: “Since the people are against it, we should let it exist.”

"Homosexuality too?" Sanae Takaichi countered.

"Since there is a gay community, discussion should be allowed. Even the ancients allowed it. We treat all citizens peacefully, inclusively and openly." Ishiba Shigeru fought back.

The two men fought back and forth, and the fight was very fierce.

Ishiba Mao's violent remarks have been around for a long time, but no one cares.

When the other candidates saw this, they also rushed in to fight, arguing fiercely. Everyone wanted to show off and rushed to criticize others.

The speeches seemed heated, with eleven people expressing their seemingly correct political views one after another, and the election campaign seemed to be becoming increasingly fierce.

But it was obvious to the naked eye that the scene was very boring, with all the empty lies being talked about, and even the host couldn't hold it in anymore.

Li Xinghe was lying on the sofa and complaining:

"It's boring to argue over a bill that has no substance and no chance of passing."

Although the issue of husband and wife having different surnames is a huge problem in Japanese society, it is an old problem left over from the Confucian tradition. As long as the old stubborn politicians and judges who grew up in Japan after the war are alive, it is impossible to allow it to pass. Whether it is the new politicians or the old politicians who support her, they are actually taking the opportunity to win the votes of the growing number of young people. No one really wants to change it.

The different surnames for husband and wife are like the Japanese constitutional amendment. It seems to be a major matter, but it is actually insignificant. At the critical moment, someone will naturally stop it. For example, in 2021, the Supreme Court of Japan ruled that it is right for husband and wife to have the same surname. Since Abe started with the "New Security Law" in 2014, he has not been able to do anything new because he has less than two-thirds of the seats.

The three of them didn't care about the discussion anymore. Yamato Ker poked Li Xinghe with her foot:

"Do you support couples having the same surname or different surnames?"

Li Xinghe is of course a member of the Progressive Party. He said:

"Of course I support having another surname. You can have whatever surname you want."

So, Yamato Kani went to help the Fire Country to divide Makabe:

"So your child's last name is Kokubun?"

Makabe-chan was completely undeterred and coldly sentenced Yamato Ker to death:

"It's definitely not Yamato."

What this means is that you are shorter than Takajo Satsuki and have no chance.

This instantly dealt a heavy critical blow to Yamato Ker, and she hid away and became autistic.

The debate did not last long, and many of the questions raised by the host that were of real concern to society received no response.

Anyway, the candidates are very cunning and only speak nonsense on empty topics. When it comes to economic, legal and cult issues that really concern people's livelihood, a group of people keep silent, fearing that they will leave excuses and be hit by a boomerang.

At the end, Yamato Ker taunted:

"It seems that the Fuji host is more qualified to choose the prime minister than these 11 candidates, but it's a pity that he is just a host."

To be fair, the debate agenda provided by Fuji TV actually captured the pain points of the Japanese people, especially the rice price and the Unification Church, which are all issues that the people fiercely criticized the government. The staff behind the scenes made great efforts to obtain such a debate topic. The host also tried his best to guide the 11 candidates to talk about more valuable policies.

"When he runs for election, he won't dare go against the conservative public opinion of the millions of Liberal Democratic Party members." Li Xinghe shook his head and turned off the TV.

Fallen flowers are affectionate, flowing water is indifferent.

Candidates are here to win the support of the party, not to really govern the country. Once they really make promises about cults, rice prices, and legal issues, what will happen if they fail in the future?
