Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"I thought you'd been ruined by those women in your family."

"Hmph, wait another ten years."

Li Xinghe pretended to be strong.

The judicial registration is called administrative scrivener, a job that could have been done by the fake ice queen Xianzi alone.

But the water mirror balance has other troubles, she said:

"Based on some internal information, it seems that there aren't as many people in the Liberal Democratic Party who want to become prime minister now. Everyone knows that the aftereffects of the economic crisis are gradually becoming apparent. Koizumi couldn't get the bailout bill through, so he started using the 'China Investment Promotion Act' to borrow Chinese capital to save the world. This situation certainly won't last long, and the Diet will become even more fiercely contested next."

Politically, Mizukage Tenpyo's nature is naturally close to that of the Japanese elite, so she doesn't particularly like Koizumi's economic liberalization. On the one hand, he's learning from American neoliberalism and constantly cutting government personnel, while on the other hand, he's introducing Chinese capital to keep the economy from collapsing. I've seen fence-sitters before, but I've never seen one straddle two fences at once. But she really lacks sufficient solutions.

Li Xinghe added:

"And the Americans won't let him off the hook."

Indeed, another pressure on Koizumi's resignation came from the opposition coalition that constantly attacked him. And the backers behind these opposition coalitions, which claimed to oppose Chinese capital interference, were, of course, the major financial giants and media consortia on the American financial street.

Although Koizumi failed to raise interest rates again, he continuously created expectations that the yen was about to decouple from the dollar by advocating for a "strong yen" and a "decoupling of the yen from the dollar".

This has led to a renewed surge in global dollar borrowing costs, creating a liquidity trap for international capital. If Trump were to announce further interest rate cuts at this juncture, it would result in further stagflation; however, if he does not cut rates, the pressure of the economic crisis will remain immense.

This put Trump in a difficult position, unable to advance or retreat.

It's understandable that American financial capital would launch a large-scale retaliatory wave against Koizumi. The reason it seems less intense is because the level of retaliation the US currently possesses is limited; they can only try to provoke Koizumi by digging up his affair.

However, since Koizumi is stepping down, Li Xinghe asked Shui Jingtianping:

"Then what are you worried about?"

The water mirror balance reveals the worries:

"Hmph, these bastards, they're already plotting to take the case to the Supreme Court and start a debate in the Grand Court because of their partisan struggle. It's because of the situation you created when you declared martial law in Tokyo. They think there are still loopholes in the emergency legislation passed by Shinzo Abe and they're asking the Supreme Court to interpret it."

The opposition alliance, not yet daring to address Koizumi Shinjiro's violation of the 10-day resignation rule in impeachment proceedings, has instead seized upon a loophole in the emergency law, intending to use the power of the Supreme Court to suppress the Prime Minister.

"They're being a bit too rigid in their thinking. While South Korea and the United States have both seen cases of people taking their cases to the Supreme Court and using legal means to attack political opponents, Japan's Supreme Court doesn't have that much power."

"Just because it's not available now doesn't mean it can't be. The legal regulations are the same."

What worries Shui Jingtianping is the possibility of the judiciary becoming a weapon, like in the US and South Korea. This is also why legal families like the Shui Jing family are unwilling to get involved in political struggles.

That's why Li Xinghe was needed to take action.

Li Xinghe smiled:

“I have a way. The most vocal group in the parliament right now is the Japan Restoration Party. Their current secretary-general in Tokyo is Nobuyuki Baba, right?”

It's simply a matter of preventing the opposition alliance from causing further trouble and allowing the Koizumi regime to stabilize for a while longer. In this respect, Li Xinghe and the Mizukage family share the same interests.

Shui Jingtianping nodded repeatedly, urging Li Xinghe to continue.

Li Xinghe shook his finger:

"This person is actually quite pragmatic, and he is a relatively human figure in the far-right populist party, the Reform Movement. But unfortunately, he is a pro-Taiwan figure."

In today's Japanese political arena, the conflicting stances of pro-China and pro-Taiwan can no longer be concealed. It's essentially a binary choice. Even Taro Aso has been brought down, and a new pro-Taiwan faction is brewing. Li Xinghe believes this group should be given a good talking-to.

They still dare to be pro-Taiwan?

I'll smash your heads in.

The fake ice queen, Xian Zi, reminded Li Xinghe:

"This person doesn't have many weaknesses."

However, Li Xinghe had already begun to speculate about the future:

"If Nobuyuki Baba is implicated in a scandal in a few days, it will definitely be because of his repeated participation in Unification Church gatherings."

The water mirror balance realized:

"You want me to focus on the Unification Church issue?"

"But we still have the fake ice queen, Xian Zi. If we let her be our lawyer, I believe she would definitely be number one in the world when it comes to shamelessness."

The fake ice cream seller, Xianzi, also shamelessly said:

"Then I'll go and get Yamagami Tetsuya out."

"No need, watch me."

Thus, another evil little gang was formed.

Li Xinghe instructed the remnants of the Unification Church to create trouble, and the fake ice fairy Xianzi, as a shameless lawyer, to create public opinion. Then, the Sankei Shimbun, which was behind Fuji TV, broadcast the case widely. Finally, the case was sent to the Tokyo District Court, which was controlled by Mizukage Tenpyo, to bring down the most provocative Osaka Restoration Association.

Shui Jingtianping kissed Li Xinghe fiercely, her tall, voluptuous body pressing down on him. Resentfully, she whispered in his ear in Chinese:

"I really want to eat you right now!"

"Find a way to marry me this year."

Chapter 539: Taming the Foolish Prince and Saving Katayama Mizuo (4800 words)

In the coffee shop, the fake ice queen, Xianzi, knelt under the table, leaning on Li Xinghe's lap, provoking her male owner.

But Li Xinghe stroked her long hair and simply gave the following instructions:

"The official plan for the port district has not yet been released, but at least 5000 billion yen of construction funds will come from me. You should use the administrative registration that is most favorable to us to acquire this land."

With the fake ice-wielding Xianzi as his legal backer, Li Xinghe was relatively at ease about the administrative scrivener registration issue. Although this woman was shameless and had no bottom line, she was very good at judging situations. So when Shui Jing Tianping tapped the table next to him, looking somewhat jealous, the fake ice-wielding Xianzi clicked her tongue and crawled out from under the table.

"If they don't want to, they don't want to."

Shui Jingtianping's jealousy was complicated. She wanted to get together with Li Xinghe as soon as possible, but she also had a strong possessiveness, whether towards Li Xinghe or Yan Bingxianzi.

She thought for a moment, then changed the subject to offer Li Xinghe a new idea:

"Simply focusing on the Unification Church issue has already lost some of its luster, and it's difficult to completely associate it with the Japan Restoration Party, right? I have a secret that can deal a heavy blow to the Japan Restoration Party. Do you want to learn it?"

Li Xinghe was certainly not stupid, and he easily figured out:

"You're not referring to the Imperial Family, are you?"

The Japan Restoration Party is a far-right populist organization with a very delicate relationship with the Imperial Family. In fact, since the Imperial Family shifted its stance after World War II, it has been trying to shed these far-right groups, refraining from visiting the Yasukuni Shrine and striving to be a compliant national symbol.

But Japan's far-right, in its desperate attempt to rebuild a populist regime, shamelessly aligns itself with heaven and earth in the media and in its party constitution.

The imperial family is bound together. This time, it's the far right trying to curry favor with the Emperor.

"of course."

Only the intelligent and politically astute Shui Jing Tianping and Li Xinghe could instantly connect the dots between the Japan Restoration Party and the Emperor.

The current Japanese Emperor Naruhito is a classic left-leaning, enlightened, and moderate politician, with poor relations with both the right wing and Shinzo Abe. He has no weak points, and the Imperial Household Agency will not allow Li Xinghe to rise to power by undermining the current Emperor.

The target is then clear: it can only be the father-son pair of Fumihito, who is second in line, and Hisahito, who is third in line.

Li Xinghe held Shui Jingtianping's small hand in his palm, playing with her fingers, and sighed:

"Prince Akishino."

Prince Akishino, an eccentric who dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of 'abstraction'.

He has a mistress in Thailand, which he not only doesn't hide but also loudly proclaims, resulting in him being silenced by the Imperial Household Agency; his current wife had two abortions for him, and after marriage, she relied on IVF and surrogacy; when a reporter asked him about his happiness, he retorted, "Do you think I'm happy?"; he dotes on his eldest daughter, who then insisted on marrying a strange young man even at the cost of her life; he seems unfamiliar with his son and second daughter, perhaps even less affectionate than his illegitimate son in Thailand.

Every time Akishino's entire family appears on screen, there's a strange, almost unbelievable, sense of variety show humor about them.

This guy's biggest weakness is his greed and his lack of money. I believe his family is also struggling during the economic crisis.

Li Xinghe's only concern was:

"If I mess with Fumihito and Hisahito, the Imperial Household Agency will have to step in, right?"

Shui Jingtianping placed her hand on Li Xinghe's lap, then stretched out her fleshy legs and rested them on his lap. She kicked off her high heels, wiggled her pearly toes, and said, feigning nonchalance:

"Why don't you just join them? Control that second princess, Yoshiko, whom you're in charge of, and make her as insistent on marrying you as her older sister, Mako. The Imperial Household Agency will behave itself. But don't go all out."

The fake ice cream seller, Xianzi, was making a ruckus by banging drums and gongs on the sidelines:

"You could also consider using money as bait. I bet Fumihito is broke. You could have Yoshiko lure them in. Hmph, if Yoshiko is pregnant with your child, the Imperial Household Agency will just clean up your mess. Those bureaucrats have no initiative; they'll just passively cover everything up."

Although politically astute and always there to support Li Xinghe at crucial moments, relying on the Tokyo judicial system as his strong backing, Shui Jing Tianping is actually not very concerned with the realities of the economy. After all, they are a powerful, privileged family at the top of the ivory tower. Li Xinghe's family background is also considered good, though not quite at the same level. On the contrary, it is the fake Bing Xianzi, who knelt before Shui Jing Tianping and begged for her study abroad opportunity, who truly embodies the success of a small-town girl through hard work.

Both of their suggestions were good, but the only problem was Princess Jiazi, which gave Li Xinghe a real headache.

Shui Jingtianping squeezed Li Xinghe's hand:

"You look like you have a headache? This isn't like you."

Li Xinghe took a sip of coffee and sighed:

"Nothing, I've just had a terrible headache lately. I feel like an old ox that needs to plow a hundred acres of land."

Shui Jingtianping narrowed his eyes slightly, completely turning on his jealousy.

"What about my one acre of land?"

Then she took a step forward and straddled Li Xinghe. The advantage of her tall frame allowed her to embrace her boyfriend in her breasts without hesitation, looking down at him.

"Didn't you say that farming is temporarily impossible..."

"Could you start by tilling the vegetable patch along the edge of the field?"

But Shuijing Tianping doesn't care. Even if it means going through back channels, he's determined to squeeze out his own share of the milk.

She let down her thick, long hair, took off her trousers, and held Xiao Xinghe between her hips and thighs in a riding position.

"Bing Xianzi, come here and massage Mommy's bottom."

The fake ice queen licked her lips and then knelt down behind them without any scruples, serving the two despicable people with a combination of pushing and licking.

In short, Li Xinghe couldn't escape. Not only did he enjoy the service from Shui Jingtianping, but he also got squeezed dry by the fake ice cream lady.

The café was naturally alerted by the commotion, so Li Xinghe compensated the café for its losses before leaving, plus hush money, spending tens of thousands of yen to escape.

……

Li Xinghe, convinced that he was having a particularly unlucky day, did not go home after leaving the coffee shop. Instead, he contacted Guanyinlong Qingniao Mama, wanting to cleanse his soul with red ideas.

Not long after, Bluebird's mother drove up and picked up her son-in-law, who had been having a lot of bad luck lately.

She asked Li Xinghe with a smile:

"Why do you look so sad? Have you been unhappy these past few days?"

Li Xinghe got into the car and buried his head in the embrace of the Bluebird Mother:

"Mom is the best."

A volleyball player with a perfect hip-to-leg ratio of 1.85 meters, a slim waist and long legs, an athletic figure, long flowing hair, alluring eyes, and a hearty and healthy smile – indeed, Qingniao's mom is the most stress-relieving.

When Li Xinghe began to tease the Bluebird Mother's red bean through her clothes, she patted Li Xinghe's head:

"Okay, okay, stop playing with Mom and finish the market research with me first."

Today, the political task of the New World Communist Theory Practice Group is to investigate the local economic situation in Tokyo after the economic crisis.

Qingniao commissioned a company to conduct a survey in the city center, but the survey results they provided did not entirely match everyone's impressions.

After obtaining the video, they went to the bar in Nankatomi, where Li Xinghe, Guanyinlong Qingniao, Nankatomi, Yajima Hiroshi, and Princess Kako gathered together to watch the video.

A female dog owner's answer is quite representative:

"The economy isn't doing too well, well, not entirely. Tokyo's housing prices have seen double-digit increases every year for the past few years. The core housing prices in the three central wards have increased by two to five times compared to seven years ago. And aren't the stock market and the real estate market booming? However, it's true that the surrounding factories, small and medium-sized companies, street restaurants, and convenience stores are indeed struggling to survive, and they can only be sold off to Chinese capital groups."

Those living in Minato Ward, Chuo Ward, and on artificial islands like Odaiba, Ariake, Shinonome, and Toyosu—representing Tokyo's wealthiest class—have shown relatively indifferent reactions to economic changes. Due to Japan's economic policies in recent years, a large amount of newly printed money has flowed into the stock and real estate markets, resulting in a booming Japanese stock market and Tokyo's real estate market experiencing growth rates in core areas comparable to the frenzied US stock market of previous years.

In comparison, high-cost real businesses seem less worthwhile to invest in, since operations, workers, and factories all require effort, while investing in Japanese stocks only requires a few clicks.

Southern California's Domi grumbled with some dissatisfaction:

"This is the financial sector in Tokyo, completely different from the business sector. These are the guys who support low yen interest rates and continue to leech off the economy."

But once you cross the city center and arrive at the outskirts in the traditional sense, at the discount supermarkets supported by the Price Commission, you'll see a completely different scene.

Right-wing idiots who oppose foreign countries, especially the export of cheap Chinese vegetables, drove propaganda vehicles to the entrance of supermarkets and confronted pro-CCP rioters.

The Japanese women shopping here were incredibly aggressive, pushing, shoving, and even verbally abusing the right-wing old man.

Have you ever seen a cabbage that costs 1200 yen?
