Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Chapter 495: The Internet and the Divine Child Beheaded (4100 words)

In the early hours of the morning, the murder scene was cordoned off.

Tsukishima Minamisa covered her nose in amazement:

"Isn't this an antisocial killer?"

Higashikawa Yukami, Fuji Rie, and others simply turned their backs to the scene.

"Don't let the child see." Musashi Hachimono covered Yamato Kana's eyes, completely forgetting that Yamato Kana was already an adult.

Hasegawa Taishi lamented to Li Xinghe:

"Nobody wants to take over, nobody wants to investigate the Blood Alliance, they'd rather pursue Guangxia Regeneration."

Investigating the Japan Naturalization Movement Association is essentially investigating a group of bomb-mongering freaks. They haven't caused any deaths; they just like bombing government buildings, so their lives are relatively safe. But if they were to provoke these lunatics who first killed a CIA officer and then Kishida's corrupt secretary, the question of who would end up on the dinner table would become a real issue.

Li Xinghe asked Hasegawa with a smile:

Are you going to answer?

He immediately shook his head vigorously.

"I'm not taking the call. Whoever wants to go can go."

The female police officers of the Ninth Division of the Public Security Bureau unanimously and confidently rejected the proposal:

"We're not going, absolutely not."

Hibari Ryuzaki added, "This looks like a political assassination, doesn't it? It's clearly an assassin hired by some far-right politicians."

Prosecutor Ryuzaki's view is not an isolated case, but rather the assessment of most bureaucrats and even many political observers in society.

The so-called Blood Pact is extremely ruthless, killing Americans and government officials without batting an eye, and then remaining silent for months at a time. This is clearly unlike the group led by Guangxia Gengsheng. Those people share bizarre political theories in their small circles every day, intensely disseminating brainwashing propaganda; that's what makes an organization with a social subconscious mind. The Blood Pact is more like a politically devoid knife, only awakened when its master wants to act, to eliminate its opponents.

Therefore, commentators strongly suspect that the Blood Pact is a government-sponsored assassination operation orchestrated by far-right forces behind the scenes. Its purpose is to warn Fumio Kishida of the tax increases he is pushing for.

If we consider Li Xinghe as the political prodigy of the Divine Political Alliance, then everyone's view is indeed very accurate.

Since no one wanted to take it on, they all dispersed.

Police officers have the right to conduct investigations in secret, but they also have the privilege of not conducting investigations at all, so they left the scene to the unfortunate guys in the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

……

On the other hand, upon learning that his corrupt secretary had been murdered and the bribery list had been exposed, Fumio Kishida was extremely angry, his mouth twisted with rage.

With a crooked mouth and glaring eyes, he personally held a press conference: "Katsuki Arai has had nothing to do with me for a long time. Back in 2022, he resigned and returned to the Ministry of Finance. I assure the public that I have absolutely no connection with that blacklist. Furthermore, I will urge the Metropolitan Police Department to immediately arrest the criminals, investigate the facts, and clear my name!"

However, his furious face was not convincing at all; instead, it made him seem like he had been caught red-handed and was angry and embarrassed, which deepened the public's impression of him as corrupt.

In his youth, Fumio Kishida was a handsome and talented man, ranking alongside Shinzo Abe in the House of Representatives. He was a promising young man with both good looks and a distinguished family background.

However, in his old age, Kishida's cunning and sly appearance, with his crooked mouth and squinting eyes, further alienated the public. In particular, the tax increases he introduced after taking office, along with the series of corruption scandals within the Liberal Democratic Party, caused his approval ratings to plummet.

So nobody believed it.

And today happens to be a very important day.

Liberal Democratic Party National Party Convention.

For the increasingly weakened ruling party, the national party congress is the best opportunity to boost morale and set political goals for 2028.

As the son of the Shinzoren (Republic of China), and with Shinzoren, Keidanren (Republic of China Business Federation), and Nongkyo (Republic of China Agricultural Cooperatives) all being the main supporters of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), he and Hanabatake Owatari Tamae also attended the LDP National Convention as representatives of religious organizations.

"I won't say anything, you just hold on." Yu Zhi had already formed her own local political party, so she hid next to Li Xinghe to catch up on sleep. She was exhausted from dealing with the election lately.

Meanwhile, Li Xinghe watched from below the stage as Koizumi Shinjiro was besieged by the combined forces of the Shinzo Abe and the Farmers' Cooperative.

Koizumi's preferential treatment of foreigners and tax-free import policies deeply offended his two main supporters, leaving him in a very awkward and helpless situation on stage.

Fortunately, Koizumi was in charge, so Shinjiro Koizumi only needed to repeat one sentence.

"Promoting economic liberalization and welfare policies for foreigners will help attract foreign investment, reduce national costs, and promote industrial development."

This statement was approved by the economic entity, the Federation of Economic Organizations.

After Fumio Kishida took office, he dared not talk about raising taxes, and could only promote internal cohesion by mentioning the East China Sea confrontation.

Li Xinghe was causing trouble down there:

"Which country are we confronting? Please explain, Prime Minister."

Kishida was confused:

"what?"

Are there really people who are so rude as to talk back while the microphone is on?

Someone else spoke up in the comments:

"What country?"

Li Xinghe was eager to try his luck within the Divine Political Alliance, stirring up trouble and fanning the flames.

Would Kishida dare to say it?

Of course, he couldn't say it. The entire event was being recorded and broadcast live nationwide. If he revealed the name of that country here, Fumio Kishida would forget about getting the support of the Economic and Industrial Alliance.

Fumio Kishida's quick thinking was quite good; he suddenly blurted out a sentence:

"I meant... um... the East China Sea... the Sea of ​​Japan... right, I meant North Korea! We need to intensify our confrontation with North Korea!"

In any case, the general always takes the blame.

After the meeting, Li Xinghe, holding the unconscious Miss Yuzhi, met with Lu Yuchi and Hua Yingmei in a corner:

"Kishida Fumio originally planned to launch an attack at the national party convention today, but his momentum has been greatly reduced due to the 'blood alliance group' incident."

Li Xinghe's actions last night balanced the situation on both sides.

Koizumi wanted to treat foreigners better, but Kishida, that bastard, wanted to increase taxes on Japanese people.

Koizumi is embroiled in a mistress scandal, while Kishida faces a renewed outbreak of corruption issues.

Koizumi's relationship with the center-left was lukewarm, while Kishida faced rejection from the far-right after his bribery of a member of parliament was exposed.

Hua Yingmei, on the other hand, jokingly criticized:

"The political and commentary circles are now paying attention to this upheaval. What's interesting is that Prime Minister Koizumi, who advocates neoliberal economic policies and promotes openness and inclusiveness, has been labeled as far-left and is finding it difficult to move forward within the Liberal Democratic Party. However, Fumio Kishida, due to tax increases and the corruption scandal, is also being ostracized by the far-right within the party. The two can be described as... how to describe them, in a derogatory sense, 'the hidden dragon and the young phoenix'?"

Hua Yingmei uses Chinese.

Her pronunciation was perfect, which means the joke she used was the one Li Xinghe understood.

Just as the meme "lying flat" was transplanted to Japan and South Korea, various Chinese internet memes are spreading to the outside world, especially to Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. China is like an information testicle of the internet; as long as it exists here, it will continuously attract and release tadpole fluid, sowing its own seeds of internet culture from neighboring countries time and time again.

At this moment, Miss Yuzhi woke up groggily, and the huge fruit pressed down on Li Xinghe's thigh, making it go numb.

"What are you saying?"

Li Xinghe asked curiously:

"Who do you favor? Koizumi or Kishida?"

Yuzhi was, of course, speechless.

However, Tian Wenbo, the president of the Shinto Federation who happened to be passing by, gave an angry and sharp comment:

"It's like in a prime ministerial election, one candidate is dog shit, and the other is chicken shit. It's hard to describe. I want to elect a person, and if it has to be shit, at least it should be human shit, right?"

The words may be rough, but the meaning is sound, and everyone laughed.

……

The Liberal Democratic Party's national party convention lasted all day but didn't produce any results.

This merely exposes the internal conflicts within the Liberal Democratic Party. In the upcoming impeachment proceedings after the parliamentary ban is lifted, either the entire cabinet will resign and a new prime minister will be elected, or the House of Representatives will resign en masse and new members of parliament will be elected, followed by another prime minister.

Given the Liberal Democratic Party's very poor performance in the national elections

In fact, the Liberal Democratic Party prefers Prime Minister Koizumi to resign and then elect a new prime minister.

Koizumi's side, on the other hand, insisted on holding new elections for members of parliament and included immigrants from China, South Korea, and Vietnam in their votes, aiming to reclaim a large share of the vote bank.

As evening approached, in the Qingshan Information Building, Li Xinghe and Aiman ​​were having their usual work video call:

"What are you busy with?" Ayman asked her young husband, dressed in a well-fitting sweater.

Li Xinghe's helpless complaint:

"Busy interfering in Japanese political elections, haven't you seen the news? The pro-China and anti-China factions in Japan are almost standing together, and both sides are anti-American."

A Washington-based woman joked with him:

"Then where is the task report you were supposed to submit?"

Li Xinghe spread his hands:

"The intervention was unsuccessful, so they only submitted an intelligence briefing."

At this point, Ayman, speaking from the perspective of a U.S. intelligence officer in an official tone, said:

"The standoff across the Taiwan Strait is rapidly escalating into a crisis. The island's energy, economy, transportation, and foreign trade are all being cut off by the CCP. Under the pretext of 'registering exchanges, normal trade will not be disrupted,' the CCP has ordered all transit merchant ships and aircraft to declare to China and has excluded Japanese and American companies that are on China's sanctions list. We strongly suspect that the CCP is trying to implement a cage strategy, ultimately turning Taiwan into an international prison."

Americans have a peculiar worldview: any country or region within their sphere of influence is considered part of the United States in a broader sense. Asking them to withdraw from this sphere comes at a price.

Li Xinghe begged for mercy:

"Our department also has a Globemaster III transport plane that's stuck in Taipei. Please help us out."

That's $3.25 million!

At this point, Ayman finally handed over today's meat dish:

"You may not know this, but Ambassador Ramu to Japan and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs are secretly contacting the diplomatic team that slipped out of Taiwan on a civilian ship and are quietly conducting political mediation. It is said that the Japanese side proposed to force the Taiwanese authorities to acknowledge the status quo, destroy or return some weapons to the US military as a concession, and return the Globemaster III transport plane to Japan to resolve this crisis."

Making concessions is not a difficult thing for Japan to do.

Despite the Japanese media's daily pronouncements of a hardline stance, the media, politicians, and bureaucrats are not a unified entity.

When not interfered with by the media, the career bureaucrats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are quite flexible and adept at handling matters. For example, regarding the issue of nuclear wastewater discharge into the sea, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs bureaucrats were cleaning up the mess left by the TEPCO conglomerate and politicians, they took a big step back and allowed independent international and Chinese investigation teams to conduct sampling and investigations on their own.

As a result, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was angrily denounced as a super traitor by the Japanese people. During that period, the Japanese media seemed to have received some kind of instruction, creating anti-Japanese sentiment towards China and a tough stance against China every day to counteract the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' traitorous and subservient behavior in reality.

It can only be said that no matter how strong Japan is online, it's all fake; in reality, it still has to kneel down.

Eman was directly conveying her message to China, both demonstrating her importance and coordinating the US's East Asia strategy. Therefore, she was playing both sides.

What do you think Chinese people would think?

"I can't say for sure, but I think it's possible?"

Will China accept these conditions?

Li Xinghe felt the conditions were acceptable; the goal of maintaining normalized control over the Taiwan Strait had been achieved, and US military equipment should be removed from Taiwan.

The problem is that Japan cannot act as a go-between.

If anyone should raise this issue, it should be us making the demands, or it should be those who support unification in Taiwan speaking out.

After ending the communication, Li Xinghe immediately began contacting Wu Jianzhong, as well as Fuji Hinako and Sasaki Toya:

"Damn it, if they manage to mediate successfully inside, where will I put my face?"

As the saying goes, "When friends come from afar, whip them dozens of times and bury them in a separate courtyard."

Li Xinghe wants to lead the Blood Alliance to carry out another massacre to teach the Green Camp regime a lesson.

It's not hard to guess where these people who came out to negotiate are hiding; it's the headquarters of the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association, located in the Aoba Building in Roppongi 3-chome.

The so-called "Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association" is, after acknowledging the One China policy, a private association funded by the Japanese government and managed by Japanese diplomatic officials, secretly transformed by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs into a private, non-governmental organization. It claims to the outside world that it is not a government entity.

This shamelessness is exactly the same as the way Voice of America claims to "receive full funding from the US government but firmly advocates freedom of the press."

Wu Jianzhong had already helped bury many crew-cut men in Tokyo, so when he learned that Li Xinghe was going to take down the secret negotiation team of the Taiwan Green Camp, Wu Jianzhong gritted his teeth and made a ruthless decision to personally join the team, bringing five assassins with him.

The targets of this trip included Taiwan's pseudo-diplomatic department, former Japanese ambassador to Myanmar Mikio Numata, former Japanese ambassador to Israel Tadashi Imai, former Director-General of the Consular Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mitsuo Ohashi, and a series of important figures from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A group of people near Sally's headquarters took advantage of regulatory loopholes in ride-hailing services and the government's tendency not to investigate large, emerging companies like Sally, to swap cars.

Li Xinghe was in one car with a woman and a pregnant woman, while Wu Jianzhong and five assassins were in another car.

The two vehicles were disguised as moving company cars.

After the car started moving, Li Xinghe asked Fujinahinako:

"Are you nervous about taking down an entire Japanese government department this time?"
