Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

The Black Helmets are comprised mostly of people who are paid to do things, but they also contain a significant number of young people who subscribe to the latest and most popular heretical theories. When they become extreme and fanatical, although their numbers are small, they can hold their own against the Red Helmets and White Helmets in Congress.

At this point, they began to use weapons such as stools and wooden sticks to fight each other.

But it is unknown which far-right imperialist was shouting "Long live the Great Japanese Empire" into TikTok from a corner, which aroused the anger of the main body of the struggle.

When everyone turned around, they were shocked to see a Chinese flag.

Seeing that a tiny minority of far-right groups dared to display the Japanese flag, the entire group, wearing black, white, and red helmets, erupted in fury.

"Ah! Baka! There are Imperialist agents who have infiltrated! Attack them!"

"You're the remnants of the Great Japanese Empire Restoration Association, aren't you!?"

"Beat his mother!"

They swarmed forward, beating the far-right group bloody and storming through the side entrance of the Capitol into the Senate.

As the two sides confronted each other across the corridor, the far-right groups finally saw an advantage.

The Japanese Diet has a collegial structure, with the plenary session in the center and the two houses (the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors) on the left and right. Therefore, far-right groups blocked the main entrance and raised their own Japanese flag on the upper floor. However, they were furious to find that the flag had already been torn in half by communists and pan-Chinese nationalists.

"idiot!"

So they raised half of the Japanese flag.

After discovering that the far right had taken over the Senate, pan-Chinese nationalists seized the opportunity to take over the House of Representatives, leaving the middle chamber to the socialist camp.

So the five-star red flag was also raised on the roof of the House of Representatives building.

But the goal of this group was to change the flag, in a sense...

It's quite ironic.

A group of radical, non-mainstream activists are waging a chaotic ideological battle within Congress.

The people rioting outside were primarily venting their dissatisfaction with the economic downturn and political betrayal. As for what flag to raise, they themselves were quite unsure.

Finally, when a large number of civilian reporters arrived in Nagata-cho, they were met with a dizzying scene.

At the top of the National Diet Building, several red flags of different affiliations were crowded together, symbolizing the communist faction that had occupied the building. Various banners thrown down from the Diet Building proclaimed slogans such as "Establishment of the Socialist Republic of Japan!", "Oppose the Emperor System!", and "Global Revolution Imminent!"

In an instant, it seemed as if all the socialists hidden in Tokyo had emerged, eager to change Japan's political landscape.

To the left of the parliament building, in front of the House of Representatives rooftop, stands a lone five-star red flag, next to a group of abstract East Asian nationalists.

This group has raised the banners of the Duke of Zhou and Confucius, and is promoting their "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" and "Pan-Chinese Federation" there. They are committed to the unification of more than a dozen countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Vietnam, and Mongolia, and to creating a vast world hegemon in the Chinese character sphere.

Li Xinghe didn't write a sequel to the Japanese unification movement, but the radical young people already know how to write it. Unite the masses, become a world superpower, and enjoy the former glory of American imperialism. They will lose some things, but gain much more.

To the right of the Diet Building, atop the Senate building, a tattered Japanese flag stood even more forlornly, appearing utterly defeated and powerless. The smallest group of civilian imperialists actually possessed the broadest popular support in Japan. But clearly, as Japan aged, so did they, and they could no longer offer many political gimmicks to attract young people.

The media reporters stared in astonishment at the scene, unsure of what to say.

"Japan is jokingly called the Republic of Tokyo, but our Tokyo is crammed full of socialists."

“Imperialists are no longer popular.”

What caused the rise of the Greater China Federation ideology?

The journalists were thinking, debating, and writing articles.

The public also has to take this seriously.

In any case, when the Diet Building was ablaze with red, and pro-China and pro-Communist flags ignited a new wave of thought, the Japanese people were forced to confront their choice of nation for the first time.

Which way are you going?

No longer confined to anonymous forums like 2CH, people are finally starting to discuss politics using their real names on many public social media platforms in Japan.

They express their opinions radically, choosing their own camp among red, black, white, and yellow, and fighting for it.

The results came out quickly, and people were surprised to find that although, thanks to years of propaganda in the Japanese media, as many as 90% of the population was unfriendly towards China, a fear and apprehension of China had also been deeply ingrained. Therefore, the number of people demanding a pro-China stance was actually greater than the number of anti-China individuals.

After all, everyone needs to live and eat.

This can be described as a surge of thought in Japanese society, where people, amidst the guerrilla war in Okinawa and the unrest in Tokyo where citizens stormed the Diet building, began to formally examine their political choices instead of covering their ears and pretending to be politically apathetic.

This is exactly what Li Xinghe needs, and it is also the social change he hopes to achieve through the occupation of Nagatacho and the occupation of the National Diet Building.

Of course, this incident was not without victims.

When Wu Jianzhong, an ordinary passerby, saw Li Xinghe leading people to plant the five-star red flag on the Japanese Diet Building, he suffered a stroke due to high blood pressure and is now recuperating in the hospital.

From time to time, profanities such as "son of a bitch" could be heard from the ward.

……

evening.

Weekend Girls Club.

Li Xinghe was eagerly anticipating the reactions of the Diet and the Liberal Democratic Party to the occupation of Nagata-cho. Therefore, he spent the entire evening waiting for news from Shika Michika Eimi.

But when the sophisticated and beautiful Hua Yingmei opened the door, unbuttoned her coat, and gracefully sat down at the table to drink coffee, revealing her jade-like legs encased in black stockings, she said, "No news."

There was no response from the Japanese parliament.

"..."

"Huh? Are you kidding me?"

Li Xinghe was somewhat puzzled:

"Are these old men all Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? They've already raised the new national flag over here, how can they stand it?"

That doesn't make sense.

If the old men don't come begging me to send troops, how am I supposed to clean up this mess?

If I don't send troops, how can I gain merit and win over large companies like Nissan to my side?

Hua Yingmei then asked Li Xinghe why he did this:

"What are you planning to do? Start a revolution?"

Li Xinghe shook his head:

"No, no, no, the Japanese economy has already experienced a massive recession, with both per capita income and economic momentum severely insufficient. Currently, the only thing they can rely on is automobiles, specifically relatively outdated gasoline-powered cars. So, where is the most profitable market for Japanese cars?"

Hua Yingmei said:

"North America."

Without the tax-free protection of the US market, Japanese and South Korean automakers would have been doomed long ago in industrial competition.

So, to put it simply, the American market is feeding Japan like a dog.

Li Xinghe clapped his hands and stood up:

"That's right. Nissan is not our target at all. Our real target is to obtain tax-free export quotas for automobiles in the North American market. But how do we solve Nissan's debt? Lay off employees, integrate into the Chinese industrial chain, significantly increase the import of near-complete vehicles from China, and then ship the Nissan cars produced in China to Japanese ports for washing before selling them to the United States."

This is a Japanese-style shower truck.

Although Toyota, Honda, and others have been doing this for a long time, they would never dare to directly export their products like Li Xinghe has.

The industrial chains among the three East Asian countries are very closely intertwined, but South Korea is more dependent on China than Japan, which still controls a significant portion of the cutting-edge industries.

Li Xinghe's industrial policy goal was to make Japan continue to depend on China, and to gradually degenerate from an advanced country to a dependent country in the exchange of technology and capital, and then to a market vassal, so that the Japanese would work for the Chinese.

On the surface, this seems reasonable; the slogan of integrating into the East Asian industrial chain has been around for over a decade. But Japan used to be at the upstream of the industrial chain; now it's relegated to the downstream.

Li Xinghe has always referred to it as the "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" plan.

"then you……"

"I hope the Japanese Diet can pass a bill that includes a package of companies on the verge of bankruptcy in one department. As long as they receive government subsidies, they must be subject to overall supervision and management, and this department will guide their production and cooperation."

Hua Yingmei finally learned about Li Xinghe's thoughts.

But she was even more shocked:

"Isn't this similar to... that thing in China, cough cough...?"

Before Reagan and Thatcher, guided by Hayek, handed everything over to the market, capitalist countries around the world had a large number of monopolies and state-owned enterprises. After all, according to the capitalist path, monopoly is the best way to make profits, rather than letting the market compete freely.

Before the neoliberal reforms of the 80s, Japan had eight monopolistic industries: railways, telecommunications, tobacco, postal services, minting, printing, alcohol, and state-owned forest land. Today, except for state-owned forest land, all other industries have been privatized in the 40-year wave of reforms.

Unfortunately, apart from the successful privatization of the tobacco industry, which remains a monopoly, the privatization of other industries has been largely mediocre, or even a complete mess. This is most evident in the rapid decline and aging of the railway system, the high fees charged by private services, and their irresponsible behavior towards people's livelihoods.

Li Xinghe said excitedly and confidently:

“Yes, we might as well name it… Japan National Assets Management Corporation, and set up a separate House of Representatives National Assets Management Committee, with a vice minister appointed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to oversee it.”

Seeing Li Xinghe discussing his political plans so excitedly, Hua Yingmei, or rather, Hua Yingmei disguised as Mian Guanjin, felt somewhat...

Feeling jealous.

"You're so mean!"

Hua Yingmei, unusually jealous and coquettish, said: "I already assigned the easiest task to Ayako Aso, and you still give her perks? Is she your wife, or am I your wife?"

"All."

Li Xinghe gently hugged her and comforted her, saying that she would get better things in the future.

Cotton violet is still jealous:

"You don't think she's as easy to please as a puppy, and I'm like an old witch who's always causing you trouble, do you?"

"of course not."

Just as Li Xinghe was about to say something nice again, Hua Yingmei, whom he saw, stood up, walked to the door of the house, and dragged in a large suitcase.

The suitcase was laid flat and then opened, revealing a large-framed, long-haired beauty with red ribbons wrapped around her hips, her voluptuous flesh filling the entire suitcase.

It is a water mirror balance.

She had a small cherry in her mouth, and her eyes were covered by a sexy lace eye mask.

"This is……"

Hua Yingmei bit her finger:

"I was supposed to be in the gift box."

Li Xinghe only realized this belatedly.

Yes, the Hua Yingmei in front of us is actually Mian Guanjin, which is why she gets jealous and acts coquettishly.

If Hua Yingmei is correct, she has indeed been planning to offer Mian Guanjin to Li Xinghe recently. So, the original plan for this sexy suitcase gift was for Mian Guanjin to lie inside, brought in by Hua Yingmei, and then for Li Xinghe to be drained dry by the snake sisters.

But why was it changed to a water mirror balance?

"what happened?"

"Some bureaucrats are so anxious they're urinating blood. Please stop making trouble."

Li Xinghe pouted:

"It's true what they say, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is."

The politicians weren't in a hurry, but the local faction within the bureaucracy was. They were so anxious that they even wanted the court's Mizukage Shiroji and Atsushi Uji to bow down to Lee Seong-ha and offer up the still-preserved Mizukage scales, instead of having to get married.

The room was dimly lit, with a purple dim light enhancing the atmosphere.

Inside the large suitcase sat a stunningly beautiful woman. Her incredibly thick hair was styled in the manner of Mai Shiranui, her thick eyelashes accentuated her elfin, expressive eyes, and her beautifully curved jawline highlighted her feminine perfection. Her lips were delicately red, and her nose was straight and elegant. In terms of appearance alone, she was already breathtakingly beautiful. And when she wrapped a red ribbon around her hips, completely concealing her voluptuous figure, and presented it to Li Xinghe, even a woman would be moved, let alone Li Xinghe.

He was breathing heavily, squatted down, and stroked the infinitely beautiful woman in the suitcase.

"You bastard, I'm already... I'm already like this..."

Shui Jingtianping shed tears, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Originally, according to the plan, Mizukage Tenpyo intended to defeat Shikamichi Hanaemi and monopolize her sweetheart, Lee Seongha. But who knew that times would change? In just a few months, the local bureaucrats behind her began to contact the Mizukage family everywhere in order to resolve the movement to occupy Nagata-cho as soon as possible.

Considering Li Xinghe's demonstrated control over the coastal combat brigade during the suppression of Maeda Nao, the Mizukage family took the risk of sending Mizukage Tenpyo to rebalance their relationship with Li Xinghe. They found it difficult to pursue an equal marriage and instead valued their current relationship more.

The Shui Jing family no longer regarded Li Xinghe as the offspring of a legal family, but as a warlord and religious figure who controlled the army and religious beliefs.

Li Xinghe took the aggrieved Shui Jing Tianping out of the suitcase and said with a smile, "Thank God, thank you, Shui Jing's father, for giving me the most beautiful woman."
