Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

他 说:

"The situation in the East China Sea is tense. China is besieging Taiwan Island, and the US military is making frequent military movements. Based on these factors, I am declaring a state of emergency in Japan and temporarily suspending all bills submitted to the Diet. All matters will be decided after the Taiwan Strait crisis has passed."

Koizumi Shinjiro's remarks were entirely instigated by Koizumi's father and Li Xinghe.

drag!

It's a shameless stalling tactic to buy themselves precious time. Although Yoon Seok-yeol's coup failed, the lessons he taught about political struggle are invaluable. Any method that facilitates stalling can be shamelessly applied.

If you opposition lawmakers are so capable, go and argue with China and the United States during the Taiwan Strait crisis. You should each be given a gun and go to the front lines to stay and never come back.

Members of Congress were furious.

But so what?

Because Japan has never had a specific emergency law since the end of World War II, the existing emergency order is based on the special state law passed by Shinzo Abe during the COVID-19 pandemic. This law does not specify in detail how to impose martial law in times of national crisis or political tension, so Koizumi was able to exploit loopholes.

The deeper reason is that the US military had no choice but to grit its teeth and support Koizumi in order to maintain the Taiwan Strait standoff.

U.S. Ambassador Lam commented on the matter, saying that Koizumi was right and that any issues should be addressed after the confrontation with China. With the backing of the United States and the U.S. military, Koizumi became even more reckless.

He completely delegated the power of the Price Committee to Li Xinghe. As long as Li Xinghe had any reason to use, he could approve the import of relevant duty-free goods, in order to win the hearts of the people at the grassroots level with low prices.

The opposing left-wing, center-wing, and right-wing opposition party, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), also exploited a loophole in the state of emergency order, using the excuse that there was no COVID-19 pandemic and therefore group protests did not count as gatherings, and began marching in the streets.

But as one brain-dead right-wing supporter of Koizumi said in a heated online argument:

"Go ahead and protest if you dare. Let's see if the US military's tanks can move out faster, if the US military's batons and bullets can fire faster, or if you can run away faster after the impeachment?"

Running Man Beijing, ready to go.

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. Here's 5000 words. The storylines involving Lee Dai-yao, Lee Ju-yeon, Seon Ji-hwa, and Jo Yeol-sook will continue to be expanded upon. Now, let's delve into the Japanese terrorist attacks and Tokyo Running Man.

Chapter 490: Live Broadcast of the Dissolution of Departments and the Capitol Arson Case (4500 words)

On the morning of February 17th.

The first day of Japan's state of emergency due to the Taiwan Strait standoff.

My wife, who was going to school in the morning, left breakfast and a note for Li Xinghe, and ironed her suit and hung it on the door:

"Good morning, Dad. We're going to a meeting at the Supreme Court today."

Li Xinghe rubbed his head as he got out of bed.

One day, the lock on his room door broke, allowing anyone to come in freely. When Li Xinghe protested about this, he was scolded by Jian Meixun, who said that he was either never home or when he did come back, Azuma Ai, Taifeng, and Ping Yingmei had to cook and iron for him. Not locking the door was actually helping everyone; otherwise, there would be nowhere to put the laundry.

As a result, the door could not be closed at all. Not only could it not be closed during the day, but it was even left open at night to facilitate the coming and going of people in the house.

Get dressed, eat breakfast, and casually check the news.

Today marks the first day of the nationwide state of emergency, but everything seems to be proceeding as usual.

In a sense, Japan's so-called special state of emergency means that ordinary citizens can still continue with their lives. Restaurants remain open, supermarkets stay open, and apart from the parliamentary resolution being forcibly frozen by Shinjiro Koizumi, the only unfortunate group in Japanese society is the Self-Defense Forces, who are forced into a state of emergency standby due to the Taiwan Strait confrontation.

Thanks to Abe, although he was shot twice in the heart by Tetsuya Yamagami, he left a huge loophole in the Special Emergency Law for subsequent prime ministers. The law didn't clearly state anything, allowing prime ministers to invoke it at will.

The sound of water flowing out of the bathroom came from inside. Then, two mothers, as white as pearls and jade, came out one after the other, each wearing a plain-colored suit.

Chiyo Hina touched Li Xinghe's hair:

"Have you finished eating?"

Mikasa Kaoru then carried a small crossbody bag:

"Getting ready to appear in court; I heard there'll be a little surprise today."

They are to attend the court hearings in the 'Yuna Yamamoto case'.

This was a small panel, with only five Supreme Court justices present. For reasons not widely known, the Vice Justice of the Court of Jurisdiction recused himself. However, the five justices who participated unanimously supported the protection of the rights of the disadvantaged, the implication of which is self-evident.

When the three arrived at the Supreme Court, the panel of judges was preparing to begin. Because the Aso faction had been disrupted by Li Xinghe's martial law plan, the testimony of Yamamoto Yuna herself, which the opposing side had prepared, had lost its political validity.

When Yuina Yamamoto attended the deliberation meeting, Mikasa Ma, in her anger, personally inquired why she hadn't respected herself after being rescued and had ended up in a place like Kabukicho, which brought her to tears. The judges unanimously agreed with Mikasa Ma.

Ultimately, the court deliberated and ruled that Mikasa Ma's indictment was entirely reasonable. Former Justice Minister Keisuke Suzuki's decision was purely political retaliation.

The current Minister of Justice, Yoko Kamikawa, personally visited the site, exchanged words of encouragement with Mikasa Ma, and took a group photo.

Li Xinghe was a good boy throughout, sitting and watching a complete political show.

After the referee finished speaking, Shui Jingcheng appeared again and asked Li Xinghe:

"You have connections in the US, how long are they going to keep this up?"

Li Xinghe quickly shook his head:

"It's hard to say. It will probably last until the standoff in the Taiwan Strait ends. It has been ten days now. It is said that the US Navy is currently mobilizing aircraft from all over the place to patrol over Taiwan because it does not have enough ships."

This is also a microcosm of the Okinawa Incident.

The greatest strategic deterrent of the United States and its allied forces lies in their large numbers of fourth- and fifth-generation fighter jets, which possess the capability to launch direct precision strikes. However, lacking a large carrier fleet to cover their rear, they can only engage in a slow, electronic battle with the Chinese air force over the East China Sea.

Upon learning that the Koizumi family was going to continue causing trouble, Mizukage Shiroji left in a huff.

"This is a ruthless trampling of the Constitution. When lions and tigers fight, cats and dogs suffer."

The judges collectively opposed Shinjiro Koizumi and discussed the need for a constitutional interpretation of the Emergency Law after the current state of emergency, to close the loopholes in the law.

Fortunately, Shui Jingcheng didn't know that Li Xinghe was constantly giving Xiaoquan bad ideas. Otherwise, he probably would have had his legs broken by his brother-in-law today.

……

After leaving the court, Li Xinghe originally planned to go to the University of Tokyo to meet with the president, but Koizumi Shinjiro made a last-minute decision to attend the opening ceremony of the 'Tokyo Metropolitan Discount Supermarket' supported by the Price Equilibrium Committee.

This is a new supermarket established by Domi in Southern California using his family connections. Its biggest feature is that it is authorized by the Price Commission to place a large number of duty-free goods in the duty-free zone.

For example, Vietnamese rice at 3500 yen for 10 kilograms, Chinese garlic imported duty-free at 550 yen per kilogram, various duty-free vegetables from Shandong, and many inexpensive domestically produced semi-prepared foods. These all hit the nail on the head for Tokyo residents who had long suffered from exorbitant prices, and after the Prime Minister's Office promoted them, long queues formed on the first day.

To attract voters, Koizumi personally acted as a salesperson, nodding and bowing to shoppers:

"Thank you so much!"

"Thank you for your hard work, please continue to support me next time!"

Buying duty-free items at discount supermarkets

This is tantamount to supporting Shinjiro Koizumi. And the public is quite receptive to it.

Could there be a more staged show than the Prime Minister personally selling duty-free goods to ordinary people in a discount supermarket?

But it doesn't matter.

The ordinary people who come to discount supermarkets to buy duty-free imported products are generally not highly educated or have a high standard of living, so they won't criticize Koizumi for putting on a show like political commentators would. At least prices have genuinely decreased; shopping here has reduced expenses by 15%-30%.

Koizumi's approval rating is soaring, especially on social short video platforms.

"He's willing to stand up to all interest groups in order to improve the welfare of the people! That's our Prime Minister Koizumi!"

"A lone warrior, a hero who goes against the tide of the night!"

Similar empty slogans gradually spread under the influence of online trolls.

Where there are supporters, there are also opponents.

The area outside was crowded with various protesters.

Faced with Koizumi's aggressive promotion of direct social welfare and his incitement of public sentiment, the Japanese Communist Party dared not show their faces. However, the far-right members of the Japan Restoration Party were bold and aggressive. They crowded outside the supermarket, shouting angrily despite being blocked by security guards.

"Do you want to establish a dictatorship? Do you want to tear Japanese society apart?!"

"You are a sinner against Japan!"

At this moment, Koizumi was actually covered in sweat. He lacked mental acuity and was under immense pressure, so he could only follow his father's and Li Xinghe's advice. Having come this far, there was no turning back.

Fortunately, Li Xinghe also had a solution.

He had men lying in ambush outside shouting, "You stinking Kansai, what are you doing in our Kanto region?!"

"Kansai people, get out of Kanto!"

Because the Japan Restoration Party is a far-right organization based in Osaka, it is considered a purely Kansai party, while the Liberal Democratic Party, although its main leaders come from all over the country, is generally considered a Kanto party.

Thus, the narrative shifted to the regional conflicts between Kanto and Kansai.

Poor residents of Tokyo banded together and shouted insults at each other, driving the members of the Restoration Party out of the entrance of a discount supermarket.

When the supermarket sold out on its first day, emptying the warehouse before closing down, people still cheered for Koizumi together.

We support you!

After working as a sales clerk in the supermarket for half a day, Koizumi returned to his car covered in sweat.

Li Xinghe asked with a smile:

Are you full of fighting spirit?

Koizumi exclaimed in amazement:

"Of course, I'm already fired up. Now is the time to fight to the death. We must use the profound power of wind, forest, fire, and mountain to break through the opposition alliance's blockade."

In an effort to counter the opposition, Koizumi even dared to conduct live broadcasts of his work directly to the public from the Cabinet Office.

Following the list of reforms outlined by Junichiro Koizumi, and since the Diet was now frozen by Koizumi and no opposing bills could be put forward, Koizumi seized this excellent opportunity to begin his father's unfinished neoliberal economic reforms.

Therefore, Koizumi's decision to disband his live broadcast department became explosive news in February.

At 8:30 PM, Koizumi deleted a department during a live broadcast from the Prime Minister's official residence.

“We should abolish departments like the Gender Diversity and Inclusion Commission! We only need to retain the authority to protect women and children. This would save us the salary expenses of dozens of officials and reduce the burden on the public.”

Koizumi also reduced the powers of local governments:

“We should also abolish the authority to recruit kindergarten students, similar to that in Tokyo! Let public and private kindergartens recruit students equally from the public, without being hampered by government officials who know nothing about it. Enroll as soon as there is a vacancy, without having to wait until the following year. Relax the approval process for more kindergarten construction projects, and let the market meet the needs of the people.”

With each deletion of a power, Koizumi, like a virtual idol on a live stream, addressed the audience:

"From now on, I will liberate more social power and social positions and let society operate on its own. Moreover, before the power of the National Diet is frozen, I will expand the approval of more residents' voting rights, including foreign nationals residing in Japan, Japanese expatriates overseas, and so on, so that everyone can participate in political elections. Please support me."

At this point, Koizumi had already become Japan's version of Milley and Trump, transforming himself from a third-generation member of the establishment into a popular representative advocating for the people.

Li Xinghe was quite amazed.

This wasn't arranged by him; it was planned by Koizumi's own people.

Turning the prime minister into a live-streaming idol is quite amazing, but it's a method that aligns with the principles of prime ministerial elections.

Some of the problems that Koizumi reformed were indeed chronic issues within Japan's rigid political system, but others inevitably touched upon the power structure, even wielding a large axe to violently chop at the grassroots structure of the Japanese government, destroying its own foundation.

In the near future, many things that should have been the responsibility of local governments may have to be taken over by local gangs and landlords.

However, this might not be a big deal in Japan, because the governance capacity of local governments is generally terrible, and before Koizumi Junichiro's reforms, the local areas were also governed by landlords.

As Li Xinghe left the Prime Minister's residence, he felt that Koizumi actually had quite a lot of potential.

The topic of a virtual idol prime minister has been hot for over a decade, and this year we've finally seen it become a reality.

In addition, his high-end private daycare center on an artificial island in Tokyo is finally ready to open, so I went to see Takajo Satsuki, who is still taking care of her younger sister.

After wandering over to May's house, while Lin Meng and Lin Youzi were working overtime, Li Xinghe picked May up and carried her:

"Give me a kiss."

Takajo Satsuki was very shy and gave him a small kiss with her eyes closed.

mouth.

July and September also came over, the two little girls looking at Li Xinghe with longing eyes.

At this point, Takao May became possessive of her food:

"You are not allowed to kiss."

The two younger sisters were very unhappy:

"Huh? Why?"

"You are too young."

Then, in May, she was dealt a devastating blow by her younger sister:

"Oh~ Isn't it true that older sister is the youngest?"
