Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"How embarrassing!"

Li Xinghe pinched her butt.

In utter desperation, Jiazi could only plead softly with Li Xinghe, groaning, even though she knew her mother was in the kitchen:

"Dad~"

This is the advantage of holding a hostage. Li Xinghe continued to intensify his efforts, pressing down on the future empress's slender waist on the sofa and giving her a thorough workout, teaching her 36 techniques for serving her husband in advance.

Kiko is a very sycophantic old woman who is both reprimanded by the Imperial Household Agency and enjoys tormenting her daughter and other women, so Li Xinghe doesn't give her a good look.

After finishing, Li Xinghe immediately opened the door and scolded Ji Zi in the kitchen:

"Old Deng, go get me a glass of water, and also change the sofa covers, the old ones are wet."

But it was precisely because of her opportunism that Ji Zi realized her annual income of 1525 million yen was at Li Xinghe's mercy. With her husband still detained by Li Xinghe, Ji Zi could only humbly serve tea and water, and only after watching Li Xinghe take Jia Zi away did she leisurely get up and leave.

Noriko originally wanted to scold her daughter, Yoshiko:

"You brat, you..."

But Yoshiko just curled her lip in disdain, ignoring that she hadn't said anything.

Instead, she was more concerned about the timing of her pregnancy, because she had been privately warned by Kazumi Kanoichi that she could not get pregnant earlier than Kanoichi and Ayako Aso, but she also could not get pregnant too late, otherwise it would be difficult to have several children and ensure that the next emperor would be Li Xinghe's son.

Meanwhile, Prince Akishino, who had been detained until nearly midnight, was finally released from headquarters by Li Xinghe, feeling as if he had been skinned alive. Akishino had learned privately that his daughter had invited Li Xinghe to their home as a "sexual bribe," which was why Li Xinghe had released him. He felt immensely humiliated. Upon returning home, he immediately flew to Thailand to find his beloved mistress and comfort her in tears.

From this moment on, Li Xinghe became the undisputed head of Qiu Xiaogong's household, wielding absolute power.

It also gave them the power to interfere with the Emperor's right of succession.

It wasn't until another day later that the detained politicians finally sent someone to help them.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Atsushi Uji, the Vice-Minister of the Supreme Court.

Li Xinghe then shouted in front of everyone:

"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"

The councilors immediately turned pale. How come you have people everywhere you go?

Atsushi Ujii pulled him outside in a huff:

"We told you not to engage in judicial persecution, not to weaponize the judiciary, is this how you treat our instructions?"

Li Xinghe chuckled:

"It's alright, I've already spoken with Nobuyuki Baba. They've resigned, and that's the end of it."

Atsushi Ujishi confirmed again:

Is this the end?

"Ah."

As Li Xinghe spoke, he skillfully pulled out a bag of US dollars and handed it over.

Unlike Mizukage Seiji, who maintains judicial purity and makes money mainly by skirting the edges, Uji Atsushi, who is mainly in charge of executive duties, does need money to operate. Therefore, he nodded and accepted, which can be regarded as allowing Li Xinghe to offend the Mizukage family by taking advantage of their judicial status.

Ultimately, Nobuyuki Baba and more than 12 others were forced to resign from their positions as members of parliament to prove their innocence. Although they still maintained their innocence, the prosecutor's office announced a temporary suspension of criminal prosecution against them, a kind of halftime break where both sides compromised.

At this point, the Shui Jing family, representing the judicial system, additionally announced the adjournment of the Supreme Court, meaning that it would not be working for the time being and would not intervene in Li Xinghe's judicial pursuit.

This can be considered as maintaining some degree of judicial independence.

……

On the 29th.

As Nobuyuki Baba resigned, the Restoration Party also fell into disarray. Hirofumi Yoshimura forbade the founder, Toru Hashimoto, from continuing to interfere in politics and announced a second reform of the Restoration Party. Some members of the party began to leave, causing a great uproar.

Having already thwarted the attacks and retreats of the Japan Restoration Party, Koizumi felt even more confident in his ability to control the situation.

But what worries him more is:

"My approval rating has now dropped to 13%. If it drops any further, I will become one of the rare prime ministers in Japan with a single-digit approval rating."

Due to the infidelity scandal, Koizumi's biggest supporters among housewives flocked to Masami Takikawa.

Furthermore, because he refused to dissolve the cabinet, the Liberal Democratic Party bigwigs behind Koizumi also found that this young man was not easy to control.

In addition, the media's complete defection, preferring to praise Li Xinghe rather than Koizumi, has resulted in Koizumi's consistently low approval ratings in the polls.

Nitta Shohei, Koizumi's diligent secretary in charge of economic policy, anxiously asked Li Xinghe:

"Can we stop the Budget Committee from going crazy? That would definitely boost our approval rating."

After thinking for a moment, Li Xinghe said:

"Don't rush. How many members need to vote in the Budget Committee? About... two-thirds? Let's go with two-thirds then. We'll just eliminate the troublemakers in the opposition and win over a few fence-sitters."

Li Xinghe went out to make a phone call and, with renewed vigor, announced the names of seven opposition party members involved in bribery, vote-buying, and taking political cash from the Unification Church. After removing key figures from the Kuomintang and the Limin Party, he finally took down the Budget Committee and pushed forward with a strong stance.

The funds that were already in place were in the national treasury, and with Koizumi's insistence on pushing forward this year's economic bill, the various funds began to circulate normally.

Nearly three months after the start of the economic crisis, the Japanese government seemed to wake up from a dream and barely managed to keep society running. This performance, while not surpassing that of the bubble economy period, was barely passable.

Koizumi, excited, seized the opportunity and announced his own bailout bill:

"The government will provide small, interest-free loans of 20 million yen over three years to small businesses to ensure their continued operation; the government will provide tax-free import quotas for vegetables and meat to various small and medium-sized restaurants; the government will inject 2 trillion yen in special relief funds into the National Pension Fund, trust funds, and insurance companies, while also providing support to large enterprises and schools facing operational difficulties..."

In short, by spending more money on one hand and cutting government spending on the other, we've reverted to the old Reagan-era model.

While he opened the warehouse and deposited money, Li Xinghe also received funds on the other side.

Yamato Keira cautiously called Li Xinghe:

"The 1.5 trillion yen has been gradually deposited into our joint account."

Do you mean a marriage account?

She should have said "Kyodo Bank," so Li Xinghe teased Yamato Keir for her verbal slip.

"What?! Don't flirt with me if you're not going to marry me." Yamato Keir pouted and swung her feet on the other end of the phone.

"What if I want to marry him but also flirt with him?"

Li Xinghe continued to press:

Faced with Li Xinghe's pursuit, Yamato Ke'er hurriedly hung up the phone:

"Hmph, you should win over May first. Take a picture of you two being intimate and I'll consider giving you a chance."

That being said, it's clear that Takajo Satsuki hasn't told her best friend yet that she's already won.

This year, Li Xinghe also obtained the right to use the funds for US forces stationed in Japan. Therefore, the nearly $20 billion in military expenses and the approximately one trillion yen in expenditures related to US military bases for the Self-Defense Forces will all have to pass through Li Xinghe's hands. Together, this amounts to a massive funding pool of nearly three trillion yen.

However, Li Xinghe is currently only keeping the 1.5 trillion yen he has in mind, plus the 2 trillion yen left over from last year, which has already become a gold mine. He has been continuously extracting nearly 100 billion yen from this money through legitimate accounts, so that he won't be competing with other stakeholders for a share before he has completely swallowed it up.

Therefore, Li Xinghe handed over all the other funds for the US military stationed in Japan to General Jacqueline, letting her figure out her own way and fight with her subordinates.

Turning around, Koizumi kept making and receiving phone calls, contacting the bigwigs of the conglomerates behind him, his words filled with self-satisfaction.

Seeing that Koizumi was getting carried away, Li Xinghe still had to remind him:

"Dude, what about your wife? I spent a fortune renting an apartment in Odaiba and pulled strings to get her a job at Fuji TV. She's incredibly popular right now, are you just going to...?"

After hanging up the phone, Koizumi was somewhat unhappy:

"Um... cough cough, it's like this, I... am pregnant again."

Li Xinghe was surprised.

You've had another one in just a few days? Are you a seed-planting machine?

Koizumi continued:

"And it's a boy, and his family background is quite good. Unlike media women like Takikawa, he has a better upbringing and rarely goes out into high society. I think he's a very suitable marriage partner, which will help me in next year's election..."

He plopped down on the sofa and began to break all boundaries:

"Since my private moral issues have already been publicized everywhere by the Americans, I might as well take this opportunity to change wives."

Li Xinghe was speechless, completely taken aback by Koizumi's wild imagination.

Don't you want your daughter anymore?

You don't want all the social attention that Masami Takikawa receives?

However, Li Xinghe's attempts to dissuade him were met with Xiaoquan's haughty rejection:

"Of course, it doesn't mean we're getting a divorce. It just means maintaining the appearance of a marriage of convenience, everything will be normal in public, but we'll live separate lives in private. Can you help me figure out a way to get her back?"

Koizumi, that bastard, may not have an IQ of 90, but it's true that he has an instinct to go astray.

If Li Xinghe's own household hadn't been rife with mistresses and the women weren't fighting amongst themselves, Xiaoquan might have tried asking Li Xinghe to help manage his wife's affairs.

However, things are pretty much the same now; Li Xinghe is essentially holding his wife hostage. Koizumi used Li Xinghe's scheme to turn his wife into a mistress who wouldn't interfere with his life. Then, he used Li Xinghe's money to send his wife and daughter out of the house and keep them outside. Without losing a single penny, he achieved his goal of driving Takikawa Masami out of the house. Realistically speaking, Koizumi's intelligence at this point has reached its limit.

Moreover, Li Xinghe has always been at a disadvantage.

This is why Koizumi wasn't particularly concerned about his wife's affairs. He was already envisioning his second term and a future of carefree living with multiple mistresses. His wife was cleaning up his messes due to scandals, which provided an opportunity to keep his promises of marriage to his various mistresses and enjoy their continued service. As for the ultimate winner, he had already decided on her, planning to marry her next year.

Seeing Koizumi's self-assured expression, Li Xinghe was speechless.

Do you think you can take all the benefits so easily?

But seeing Koizumi's smug expression, Li Xinghe shook his head and finally uttered a single sentence:

"The women here are already fighting, so you'd better watch out."

Koizumi inadvertently revealed his true feelings:

"Do you think everyone is like you, enjoying provoking those savage and crazy big guys?"

In the peculiar tastes of the Japanese, women who are taller than men, have an overly strong personality, or are exceptionally capable are generally seen by men as troublemakers unsuitable for marriage, and as barbaric and fierce monsters.

Koizumi disapproved of Li Xinghe's hobbies.

He could fall for a voluptuous monster like Mizukage Tenpei, a woman taller than himself, and he completely avoided women like Shikamikazuchi Hanae, who was cunning and ruthless. As for Higashikawa Yukimi, who was as tall as the Tokyo Tower, Koizumi would never come within 30 meters of her.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Xiaoquan wouldn't get close to any of the women around Li Xinghe.

He's been working hard to increase his height because he's afraid of being photographed by some unscrupulous reporter who might make him look shorter than a woman.

Seeing that Koizumi was already like this, Li Xinghe silently took his leave.

Riding on the unanimous praise from various industry alliances, big capitalists, and small factory owners, Koizumi began to further promote neoliberal economic reforms.

In this day and age, among the many East Asian countries, only Chinese capital has the financial resources to support the economy during an economic crisis, and its strength is sufficient to bail out Japan's economic collapse.

mark.

Therefore, on June 29, Prime Minister Koizumi used his executive power to announce: "The review of Japan's core assets under the Foreign Trade Act will be temporarily suspended to allow more foreign capital to invest and support the continued development of Japanese industries. This freeze will last for three months. And we guarantee that acquisitions made during this period will not be subject to subsequent investigation."

This is clearly a blatant attempt to sell off Japanese industries.

Since we've already given up and are just throwing everything away, there's not much left to keep.

He simply opened a three-month clearance sale period, allowing Chinese capital to buy freely, and he assured them that once purchased, there would be no trace of the purchase.

For Japanese companies that are currently eager to get rid of related assets, this is truly a huge sales window. Once three months have passed, the big investors will be gone, so they can only accelerate the sale of core assets or shares.

The media naturally didn't have many kind words for Koizumi, who was caught cheating, and criticized him:

"The Nanyang Sisters policy has started again."

"100 years ago, China sold laborers, and Japan provided them with women from Southeast Asia, making money off the Chinese. 100 years later, the Chinese are still the world's factory selling labor, and the Japanese continue to provide them with women from Southeast Asia (companies and women), making money off the Chinese."

"Old Koizumi betrayed the country, and young Koizumi continues to betray the country. Old Koizumi sold out Japan, and young Koizumi continues to sell out Japan."

Despite the criticism, with business tycoons scrambling to survive, the media could only vent their frustrations.

When the deadline for the second dissolution of the cabinet expired on June 30, the parliament erupted in chaos.

All the lawmakers are criticizing Koizumi:

"Postpone the proposal to dissolve the cabinet? This time, we absolutely cannot let it be delayed indefinitely!"

"Koizumi has violated the Japanese Constitution twice in a row!"

That evening, in front of the television, facing a mix of praise and criticism from the public, Koizumi expressed his determination to continue fighting:

"I will personally attend the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympics and witness the start of the Games alongside presidents from around the world. During my departure from Tokyo for Los Angeles, all congressional discussions regarding the Cabinet Office will be suspended. After the Olympics conclude, I will personally announce the resignation of the Cabinet."

The Olympics will boost his profile, and by August, Koizumi can gracefully step down.

I won't resign before August, so what are you going to do about it?
