Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"Don't be so intimate, aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

Li Xinghe looked around, afraid of being discovered by the people around the Prime Minister.

Takigawa Masami didn't care:

"He has mistresses in the double digits. How do I know how many times a month he goes home? Please don't look down on him too much, okay? His mistresses can form an infantry squad, which is much better than you. And I just took the lead and won half a step ahead of others."

Having said that, Li Xinghe didn't fall for her coquetry.

Even if Koizumi has 200 mistresses, his wife cannot be caught cheating openly. Unless Takigawa Masami is like Abe Akie, the daughter of Morinaga Milk Industry.

When Takigawa Masami brought Li Xinghe into the glamorous Prime Minister's office, an informal meeting was taking place.

Shinjiro Koizumi was sitting in the position of Prime Minister, and he was rarely proud of himself, and he directed the national policy with great vigor:

"A super hurricane hit the United States. Thousands of people are missing, hundreds of towns and villages are destroyed, and millions of people are displaced. I think we can provide assistance to a group of disaster relief teams to boost Japan's international status. We can also send a group of technical specialists to provide guidance on post-disaster environmental restoration. After all, I was the Minister of Environmental Protection before I was elected, so this can boost my voter support."

After hearing this, his secretaries were all confused.

Is there a hurricane disaster in the United States? There is no report on TV. Are you watching TikTok and giving orders again?

This is indeed true, but the American media has tacitly not reported it, and even major platforms have restricted it, resulting in Americans not knowing that hurricanes come every year and sweep away hundreds or thousands of lives again and again. This kind of disaster that would destroy a country next door is an annual occurrence in the United States that no one cares about.

"what did you say?"

"Send a disaster relief team."

Li Xinghe glanced around in confusion, questioning Koizumi's state secretaries with his eyes.

Is there a Japanese disaster relief team? Where is it? Can we bring them out to see?

Wasn’t it Li Xinghe who temporarily led the fire brigade to the subway entrance and rescued the people in the subway a few days ago?

Koizumi said he would conduct a thorough investigation into the East Japan Metro Company's purchase of inferior products, but he never mentioned it again after he took office.

Li Xinghe arrived just in time. Shinjiro Koizumi looked at the secretarial team his father had organized for him and asked urgently to establish his authority:

"Prosecutor, what do you think?"

Li Xinghe coughed twice and raised the most critical question: "In fact... Japan's disaster relief has not been completed. For example, Noto, Fukushima, Kansai, etc.... I don't recommend that you send people there now, otherwise the public support may drop. The public will question why some people were sent to the United States, but no one was sent to Noto."

When Noto was mentioned, everyone in the office fell silent.

In fact, that place is not beyond saving, but it is a negative asset of no value. The central government does not want to save it, and the local government has no money to save it.

Shinjiro Koizumi was also a little embarrassed. This blame was left by Fumio Kishida, but no one wanted to take it.

He had no choice but to change his tone to defend himself:

"Actually, I just want to promote diplomacy between the two countries. You see, if we take the initiative to send a rescue team, there will be articles praising us in the American media."

The way Koizumi works hard is like a poor student in math class who tries his best to learn but to no avail.

Li Xinghe confirmed once again that this guy's IQ was indeed not that high.

Seeing that his secretaries were silent, he took the initiative to expose the problem: "Prime Minister Koizumi, the biggest problem is that the US government and media may not have the attitude to spread the news of the hurricane sweeping the country to the world. If you rashly send a rescue team, it may lead to diplomatic rifts between the two countries."

The subtext of this sentence is that Americans themselves are not in a hurry, so why should you be in a hurry?

Are you in a hurry to spread other people's dirty laundry? Are you waiting to get slapped in the face?

At this point, Koizumi Shinjiro was completely silent.

His secretaries were all watching the show.

Li Xinghe is here to take over the position of foreign military supplies prosecutor. He has disappointed the Prime Minister so much. Does he want to be fired?

But Li Xinghe has a trick.

He advised Koizumi: "If you want me to make a suggestion, I suggest you take the initiative to show goodwill to the Democratic media in the United States and consider making the United States the first stop of your foreign visit."

Traditionally, the first foreign visit of a Japanese prime minister is to a nearby country.

For example, if you want to ease Sino-Japanese relations, you go to China; if you want to ease Japan-South Korea relations, you go to Seoul; if you want to win over Southeast Asia, you go to Vietnam or the Philippines. Kishida Fumio's first trip abroad was to Vietnam to discuss the chopstick high-speed rail that could not be built.

But if Koizumi went to Washington right after taking office, it would also be a way to please the Americans.

"Yes, yes, yes, secretary, write it down."

Koizumi smiled happily again and praised Li Xinghe very much.

Although he speaks unpleasantly, he is very resourceful.

Takigawa Masami picked up the appointment document on the table, and Koizumi handed it to Li Xinghe:

"This is the appointment document for the prosecutor. From now on, you will be responsible for the day-to-day duties of the Foreign Arms Tribunal."

Then, the three of them took a group photo.

Shinjiro Koizumi issued the document to Li Xinghe, who stood up straight and took it with both hands. From the photo, Koizumi's wife looked more like Li Xinghe's person, smiling and encouraging him.

......

After coming out of the Prime Minister's official residence, Li Xinghe stopped Takigawa Asami from suggesting that she go to the bathroom to have sex, and drove to the Tokyo International Logistics Center.

He will start his first job as an arms prosecutor today.

The work log stated that an Australian arms ship would be making a temporary stop.

Arriving at the familiar scene, Li Xinghe stepped onto the cargo ship and checked the cargo hold.

He frowned and asked the staff:

"This is an arms transport ship from Australia. How could it be docked in Japan? And the docking location is not Yokosuka as marked on it, why is it at the Tokyo International Logistics Center? Both the origin and destination are wrong."

The staff could not answer as they were just logistics staff for the Self-Defense Forces.

Li Xinghe glanced at the shipping list of the goods wrapped in military canvas. His English was not bad, and it clearly stated on it that it was a ship-borne vertical launch missile system.

"what?"

He was secretly surprised. It was impossible. Where did the United States get the vertical launch missile system capacity? They haven't even equipped the longest-range missiles and radars that they should have been equipped with a few years ago. And there is no need to transport this thing in a cargo ship disguised as a container. If the United States replenished Japan with MK41 vertical launch missiles, it should be a great thing to hold a press conference and celebrate. The Japanese media wanted to brag about it for ten days or half a month.

Without waiting for the Self-Defense Forces to stop him, Li Xinghe opened the container and read the label:

"This is... a MK70 container launcher, loaded with two Standard-2 long-range air defense missiles and two Tomahawk ground-attack cruise missiles."

"what?"

Li Xinghe was dumbfounded.

This kind of thing is very abstract and is a purely temporary emergency product.

To put it bluntly, it is a container-wrapped, 1/4 conventional MK41 missile system. One MK41 is split into four parts, packed in four containers, and placed on various expensive garbage naval ships produced by the United States, barely adding a missile capability to the warships.

For example, the famous Littoral Combat Ship, which has a sky-high cost of construction and maintenance, but is actually useless. The US military fixed a container on the helicopter bay of this ship with iron chains and added 4 missiles, making the Littoral Combat Ship, which can neither minesweeper, anti-submarine, nor anti-ship, look less inferior.

However, it also occupied the helicopter space, making rescue, reconnaissance and anti-submarine operations completely useless.

When Li Xinghe exercised his power and rudely prevented the Self-Defense Forces from receiving the containers, a special old friend appeared.

A fat man got out of the car and talked to Li Xinghe:

"It's you. You've become the prosecutor of the Foreign Arms Tribunal!"

It turned out to be the Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff, Keihide Yoshida.

Li Xinghe was surprised at first, then quickly responded:

"Yes... I just didn't expect that we got 1/4 of the missile vertical launch system. Is this going to be placed on the top helicopter ship?"

Yoshida Keihide smiled and asked his employees to remove the containers:

"Oh, you also know about military supplies. Yes, these MK70 containers are to be installed on the top level to maintain basic missile deterrence capabilities."

Specifically, Japan's Mogami-class frigate was originally scheduled to be equipped with the US MK41 vertical launch system, which is a twin-mounted eight-seat system with a total of 16 launch positions. However, since the US's own production capacity is insufficient, not to mention coming all the way to repair the Japanese's broken ship, the matter was shelved.

As a result, Japan's so-called newest frigate can only be used as a minesweeper or radar boat with a huge radar stick on top, and is jokingly called a "hanging on its head". Its only weapon is an American MK45 naval gun, which is like a dream of World War II. After many years of this incident, the arms companies in the United States are too lazy to care about you unless you pay more money.

This is mainly because the so-called advanced warships manufactured by Japan and South Korea are actually just a steel and concrete hull, and the high-tech equipment inside is completely dependent on the rewards from European and American arms companies.

After the East China Sea confrontation this year, the United States switched to a full defensive posture and finally remembered to equip Japan with anti-ship and air defense missiles. They disassembled a standard MK41 into four pieces and sent them to Japan.

Li Xinghe was amused by Yoshida Keishu's words.

Missile deterrence?

Do you mean to send a top-class frigate with a container carrying four missiles tied to its butt to go up against the Type 4 destroyer with 112 universal missile launch units?

The officers and soldiers on the most advanced frigate must be depressed too. I am going to attack 055, is this true?

"Then I'll check... No, we shouldn't make things difficult for Chief of Staff Yoshida."

As Li Xinghe spoke, he signed a decree allowing these arms to pass through.

It is not difficult to find that these containers have signs of rust caused by sea breeze, indicating that they are second-hand goods.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be old models removed from the littoral combat ships that are currently being built and retired in the United States.

Li Xinghe couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

Oh my god, I have to try not to laugh out loud.

I don’t know how much money Japan will have to spend to buy these disassembled garbage.

"Then I'll leave it to Prosecutor Jian. We need more cooperation."

Yoshida Keihide smiled, completely without airs.

Li Xinghe did not continue to check, just signed and left.

In fact, as long as he was willing to check, he would definitely find a large amount of contraband in it. Otherwise, why would the Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff come so nervously to dissuade him?

Giving him face is also paving the way for Li Xinghe to interfere with the Self-Defense Forces in the future.

Walking out of the Tokyo Logistics Center at night, Li Xinghe called Enola and said directly:

"Hello? The garbage removed from the littoral combat ship, a container of four launch units, appeared on a cargo ship shipped from Australia to Japan."

He then forwarded the information to the National Security Bureau to complete his October KPI.

The CIA and the NSA want to know what the US military is doing.

As he drove home, an interview with Shigeru Ishiba was playing on a big screen in the bustling city.

Shigeru Ishiba told the host on TV in a tough manner:

"In terms of diplomatic strategy, Japan obviously has more local autonomy and more flexible diplomacy. At least in diplomacy... Japan should guide the United States!"

Unfortunately, Ishiba Shigeru also has a bad reputation in the media.

Therefore, his previous words were completely ignored by the media, and the last eight words were published in the headlines of various websites.

Therefore, the Japanese right-wingers opened their eyes and found it incredible that Shigeru Ishiba, whom they regarded as a "pro-China" and "pro-China" person, actually said something that exposed the truth:

"Japan guides the United States!"

The author says:

Author's note: Thank you for your support. The MK70 containers mentioned in the article have not been given to Japan yet, but that's because the United States doesn't have many of them. Once they get more, Japan will probably have to pay a lot of money to buy them.

Chapter 333: Mother and son bathing together, let’s kill them both

At night, Li Xinghe's car cuts through the tranquility of the night.

On the billboard flashed Sanae Takaichi's campaign ad, which she had not yet removed: "Decide! The future of Japan! -- Sanae Takaichi."

Ironically, perhaps because he was tired from working late at night, the employee who was responsible for removing the advertisement fell asleep while leaning against a pillar while holding the half-hanging advertisement. The new content he was going to use to replace the Takaichi Sanae advertisement was: "A complete victory in keeping the baby alive! Hope for the future of children! 99% of customers were successfully admitted to nurseries, a new choice for Tokyo parents."

This is an advertisement for a nursery school application assistance agency. Due to the rigid government enrollment mechanism, there is a serious shortage of nursery schools. In order to enroll their children in nursery schools, parents in Tokyo can only find professional agencies to assist in the application process. Parents are asked to compete to see who is more miserable, who is richer, and who is more helpful to society. They list social activities and write about the miserable disabilities of their families. They use every possible means.

This kind of application is called "baohuotsu", which is similar to "dadhuotsu" and is a common social activity in Japanese society. Similar ones include "marriagehuotsu", "divorcehuotsu" and "beautyhuotsu".

When the half-removed Takaichi Sanae billboard had only "Future of Japan" left, and the half-removed billboard on the other side showed "Stay Alive", the whole picture was so ironic.

It seems that the future of Japan is to make parents fight for the admission to kindergartens. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that a country with the lowest fertility rate in the world would do such a thing.

As a superior citizen, Li Xinghe, the future president of a nursery school, drove past the billboard.

He doesn't have to worry about the number of places in kindergartens. In fact, he should be happy about this, because only the government's inefficient control of enrollment can make the number of places in private kindergartens more valuable and collect more education funds.

At this time, Chiyo Hinahiki's gentle voice rang out from the car phone:

"Where are you? Why haven't you come home yet?"

"Go home soon."
