Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"Pay close attention; similar extremists must be eliminated as soon as possible. Don't cause trouble for the boss."

……

The tanks are always on the road, and the Self-Defense Forces' reconnaissance and assault teams have almost turned into demolition assault teams in the past few days.

Many stubborn old landlords could only choose between physical destruction and the destruction of their property; between humiliation and anger, they chose to be humiliated and angry.

As the situation entered its third day, the resistance forces mainly gathered in Hiroshima City.

Hiroshima, a large city in Yamaguchi Prefecture where right-wing politicians congregate, has become a place beyond Li Xinghe's reach, and a natural gathering place for anti-Li factions.

Because of the atomic bombings during World War II, and the presence of right-wing groups in Hiroshima, the Japanese government has long sought to emulate Israel by portraying itself as a victim to avoid retribution. The Hiroshima bombing is their favorite narrative device.

At the nuclear bomb memorial park, various right-wing organizations gathered, demanding that Li Xinghe retract his decision and allow the farmers' association to continue to exist.

"Baka! Are you rebelling?!"

In order to gain Li Xinghe's trust as soon as possible, the commander of the 13th Brigade stationed in Hiroshima, Riku Shōbu Imamura Takeshi, personally led the old men of the brigade's direct headquarters to Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Memorial Park with military batons to suppress the right-wing resistance forces.

The old men of the brigade headquarters fought against the resistance forces, and for a time the battle was evenly matched.

The 13th Brigade's artillery chief, Second Lieutenant General Mitsutaka Rikubori, personally commanded the artillery:

"Firepower prepared! Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Boom!

The artillery bombardment intended as a warning was misfired due to the artillerymen's poor handling, and a single shot blew away the iconic dome of the Atomic Bomb Memorial.

After a series of intimidation tactics, the resistance forces were routed and fled.

The 133rd Brigade wielded their batons with great force, and their heavy leather boots kicked people as if breaking bones with iron hooves.

The citizens of Hiroshima experienced some of the feelings that the people of Hiroshima experienced during World War II when they were suppressed by the imperialist government.

Although both were cities affected by the atomic bombings, Nagasaki did not receive the same treatment as Hiroshima. Due to the rise of left-wing groups, the Japanese government tacitly removed Nagasaki from the list of atomic bombing victims, focusing instead on building Hiroshima into a world cultural icon.

Nagasaki City, which has always leaned towards the left, welcomed Li Xinghe's major reforms. Both the Communist Party and Social Democratic Party factions praised Li Xinghe's decisive actions, saying he had demonstrated both style and strength.

Insider information is circulating at Mitsubishi Shipyard in Nagasaki that they are about to receive a large government-subsidized shipbuilding order, which has unexpectedly made the pro-Lee faction in the city surpass the anti-Lee faction.

As the fighting forces in Hiroshima rapidly declined, resistance was no longer visible in major Japanese cities. Most of the remaining resistance forces retreated to small towns and villages, where they lived in frustration and resentment.

However, when Shui Jingtianping and Yanbing Xianzi came to visit, they still raised the main issue:

"But we still can't avoid the problem. Your reform methods are good, but how do we implement them?"

Even if the agricultural cooperatives are completely dismantled by Li Xinghe, there will still be a large number of middlemen and distributors to deal with. Moreover, the quality of local government officials in Japan is extremely poor, and their main problem is inefficiency that torments everyone.

Li Xinghe thought for a moment and said:

"We will hold imperial examinations to select officials."

……

With the restoration of peace in Tokyo, the bankruptcy of many middlemen led to a boom in real estate and car transactions. After the prices of rice, flour, and vegetables dropped across the board, consumer spending finally began to rebound, and the economy actually looked to be improving.

On this day, the Japanese national civil service examination began as scheduled. A large number of Chinese students flocked to the exam, beginning to erode the job opportunities available to Japanese students specializing in civil service.

During the holiday, Xiao Zhangda is taking his girlfriend shopping.

Yui Koshiyama, clinging to her brother's arm, strolled through the streets of Shibuya, clearly dissatisfied with the area.

"This is Tokyo... it feels... it doesn't feel as good as Nanjing."

Aside from the iconic intersection, this street, like Akihabara, has long since lost its former glory.

This is a time when Chinese tourists are flocking to Tokyo in large numbers, and Li Xinghe's decision to grant visa-free entry to Chinese tourists has led to a massive influx of visitors.

An abstract interview with a roadside social media user revealed that Yui Ooshima had just arrived from China, and someone came over to ask:

"Oh? Where are you from?"

Yui Kojouyama said disdainfully:

"I come from Nanjing."

The other party is in hot pursuit:

"What do you think of Shibuya? Are you planning to take the civil service exam?"

Yui Kozueyama immediately offered a sharp and scathing critique:

"There are many wild boars in Nanjing and many wild men in Shibuya."

In the background of the interview, a large group of young Chinese students were present.

They are indeed here to take the civil service exam. If they pass, they can get a job in the Japanese central government. If they fail, they can treat it as a trip abroad. Traveling to Japan is quite cheap.

There were all sorts of Chinese people on the road.

Businesses include fertilizer and agricultural products, auto parts, and machinery manufacturing.

There are also small business owners from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian who travel thousands of miles to Tokyo with Ryukyu passports to inquire about export business after the tariff reduction.

Because so many people flooded in at once, someone made a peculiar analogy:

“The upper-class Chinese go to the port area to become sons-in-law, the middle-class Chinese go to IT companies to work as employees, the lower-class Chinese go to farms to work as managers, the bottom-class old Chinese in Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam go to farm, and the average Japanese are idle on the streets. This is Japan now.”

In reality, most of the new businesses Li Xinghe started, whether ride-hailing, food delivery, or small-freight transportation, were actually run by Japanese people. Even after the abolition of agricultural cooperatives, which destroyed the livelihoods of many middlemen, and allowed farms across the country to trade freely through online or offline markets, it was still the ordinary Japanese people who benefited.

Therefore, in roadside restaurants, you can often see pro-Li and anti-Li factions arguing:

"Without a few minutes, could you reduce the price of your current rice set meal to 450 yen?"

"Without any intermittent introduction of Chinese capital"

"Ben, is the factory you work at still able to stay afloat?"

You must learn to be grateful!

Amidst a wave of gratitude, the results of the civil service exam were released.

Chinese students, who make up 20% of the student body, have taken away 27% of the job opportunities.

Fortunately, Li Xinghe had prepared plenty of slots for them in advance, so they weren't crowded together with the old staff.

In any case, this marks the beginning of a large influx of international students into Japanese government departments.

Taking advantage of the influx of personnel into the cabinet, a new department composed mostly of Chinese people, the Cabinet Agriculture Department, was quietly established.

Professor Wei Jiaxin, an agricultural management talent recruited from China who had run agricultural companies and done agricultural planning, became the first director of the Department of Agriculture.

They are responsible for the operation and development of Chinese immigrant farms, establishing new agricultural settlements, and teaching the Japanese how to use TikTok and Sally, and how to integrate the internet with agriculture.

During this period, TikTok in Japan was full of:

"The vegetable market is now open! All small transactions are tax-free! Fresh fruits and vegetables, directly from farms."

"Order vegetables online and have them delivered to your door. Vegetables, cucumbers, radishes, and pumpkins are all on special offer. Look for Sally's Premium Vegetable Garden."

After the agricultural cooperatives stopped collecting monopoly fees, a few farmers could drive a minivan and become suppliers, delivering vegetables in the morning and working part-time in the afternoon. Their lives suddenly became as smooth as if constipation had been relieved.

While I can't say I earn more than when the farmers' association was in power, at least I don't suffer from their endless exploitation, endless wrangling, or various membership fees.

After a farmer makes a fuss, he usually just bows his head and goes back to his life.

Amidst this flourishing scene, Li Xinghe's power seemed infinitely consolidated.

Everyone is waiting for the specific terms of the "5-Year Rejuvenation Plan" so they can make money quickly.

However, discordant voices emerged at the government press conference on April 6.

A Canadian journalist made a sarcastic remark:

Does this mean that Japan is about to become a country controlled by a dictator?

The spokesperson refuted this, saying:

"Japan is a democratic country, and there will be no dictators. We are about to hold a general election."

However, if Canadian journalists want to ask other questions, they will cross the line of the country's laws.

The spokesperson criticized him:

"What are you trying to say? I'll warn you again, Japan is a monarchy. It is not allowed to make any disrespectful remarks about the Emperor, the Grand Prince, the Princess, or their families. Doing so will land you in jail in this country."

The reporter shook his head:

"I haven't said it yet!"

Do you think we can't guess what you're going to say next?

Is Japan a monarchy or a democracy?

These are not mutually exclusive issues. Even Britain dares to call itself a democratic country, so why shouldn't Japan be?

We are just more 'maintaining' in our democracy.

The Canadian journalist was arrested by military and police after taking his position.

"You're under arrest!"

"We suspect you are in cahoots with the Canadian NGO and the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative. This organization has been involved in inciting peasant uprisings and interfering in our internal affairs. Come with us."

The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative is a well-known international NGO that was suspected of inciting India’s “March on Delhi”, leading hundreds of thousands of farmers to occupy the streets of Delhi and tormenting the Modi regime for several months.

Of course, after that incident, Modi achieved his goal, sending assassins to Canada to retaliate and making Trudeau look bad, a classic example of two weaklings fighting each other.

The reason for suspecting that it was done by the Canadians is simply that this pattern of 'occupying the streets of Tokyo' is very similar to the organization's daily routine, so we concluded that it was them.

As for who did it, it doesn't matter, because no matter what kind of Ngo it is, Li Xinghe will kill them all the same way.

But the Canadians' veiled sarcasm represents a discordant signal.

Watching television, Chiyo Hinaki was deeply worried about her son:

"It seems... Americans are nearing their limit of tolerance for you, aren't they? I've seen American political magazines starting to criticize your constant underhanded tactics, suggesting you're trying to break free from American control."

Li Xinghe shook his head:

"Hmph, things are different now. Now it's America begging me, not me begging America."

This is the price of becoming a person in power.

From this day forward, Li Xinghe's struggle with the United States will no longer be a relationship of comprehensive cooperation.

Chapter 711: The Tax Lord Arrives, The Era of Mass Smuggling (4600 words)

The waves of the Pacific Ocean echoed on both the east and west coasts.

Sharp criticism of Lee Sing-ho's reckless actions is growing louder as the Democratic Party revives and unites.

Ironically, the voices that should normally be immediately suppressed by the US's systematic media repression tools were not controlled this time. The CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House all gave vague and general statements, which made Li Xinghe feel a sense of danger.

That's why he first arrested international NGOs like those advocating for human rights in Tokyo to prevent them from becoming foreign tools for inciting unrest in the country.

But the question is, what the hell is Vance doing?

That evening, Li Xinghe went to the Qingshan Command Headquarters, where he played with his daughter Enya while discussing solutions with Aiman.

"He's currently mired in a political quagmire. Even if you don't go to him, he'll come looking for you."

Ayman covered his face in exasperation, already feeling the biting wind of Washington politics.

As if in response, Li Xinghe's phone rang immediately.

It was early morning Eastern Time, so Vance couldn't wait to call Li Xinghe as soon as he woke up.

He said eagerly:

Good morning. I heard you made a fortune in Japan.

"Just a little bit."

Vance said in a strong voice:

“I need at least $1000 billion. You need to find a way to raise it for me in Japan and South Korea.”

Are you trying to blackmail me?

Li Xinghe was stunned.
