Yes, Prime Minister of Japan
Page 726
Walking through such a city feels quite disjointed.
You will see some luxury cars on the streets, and even quite a few family cars like Toyotas and Subasas. However, the vast majority of ordinary residents have very worn-out trousers. After the Port-au-Prince earthquake and the collapse of the corrupt government, and with the UN withdrawal, the amount of used clothing aid from Asia has decreased. The vast majority of the population here is Black, with very small minority being White, Indigenous, or Latino.
Street vendors chased after the coalition forces:
"Beer, $1.5."
"Boxed lunch, $3."
With the economy severely damaged, the Haitian goude has depreciated sharply, making people more reliant on the US dollar. However, consumer prices are also comparable to those in the United States, making them unaffordable for the average person.
Multinational patrol teams drove away pedestrians from the roadside.
Chinese soldiers complain:
"These prices are comparable to those in first-tier cities. A box of food at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Shanghai costs about the same."
Japanese and South Korean soldiers compared prices in their own countries and both felt that:
"It's alright, much cheaper than fast food meals in China. It's just not very tasty."
"Of course it tastes awful. Don't you know that Haitians have a specialty: mosquito meat patties?"
The North Korean soldier standing nearby wanted to say something, pointing out that this place was much poorer than his hometown, but considering that North Korea's economy ranked last among the four countries, he could only sigh.
"Sigh...the monthly income here is only a few dozen dollars, right?"
Yes, the average worker in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, earns only a few thousand to ten thousand gouds a month, which is roughly equivalent to $15 to $80. $15 a month is barely enough for temporary workers to have a job, while $80 a month puts you in the middle class in Port-au-Prince, enough to barely feed your family.
While they appear to be middle class, the reality is that most Haitians are unemployed and destitute. 85% of the population lives in rural areas, and 70% of the population earns an average of $1 per day.
Even so, the cost of daily dining and entertainment is still too high for ordinary people.
A bottle of beer and a fast food meal—these are luxuries that only a select few 'rich people' in the city can enjoy.
Of the 300 million residents of Port-au-Prince, only about half of the families can barely feed themselves; how the other half fares is entirely up to fate.
Peacekeeping forces have taken control of the mansions of Haitian tycoons.
In the past, the emaciated poor, swarming like cockroaches near the rich man's beautiful house, were ready to scramble for any food thrown out. Today, however, they are fighting over the clothes on the corpses, even dragging the bodies away.
The roadside entrances are littered with trash, yet the luxurious hotels charge 3000 dollars a night, roughly equivalent to a month's income for an average person. The few Apple stores and car dealerships in the country price their products exactly according to American prices.
In other words, the wealth gap here has reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Legend has it that the Duvalier family, the family of former Haitian president, once monopolized 90% of Haiti's wealth, and now it seems that this is indeed true.
Even He Xianzhe was scratching his head:
"Is the counterattack against the Americas really about launching a counterattack on such a pile of shit?"
Governing Haiti is like carving flowers on dung.
It's simply because neighboring countries look down on Haiti, this cesspool, that they handed over control of the country. Their only goal was to prevent the filth from overflowing.
To this, He Yang could only shrug.
"At least we don't need to pay anything. The United States and the United Nations will obediently foot the bill, and Organization Without Borders will help us with medical care. Let's just consider it a training exercise in advance."
The peacekeeping forces built a large camp, and the peacekeeping government entered the presidential palace in Haiti.
Trump's transfer plan was a success.
……
Soon, news of the change of government in Haiti was leaked by officials from various countries.
The White House spokesperson condemned the statement loudly:
"We condemn the landing of an unidentified armed group in the port of Haiti, which ousted the new Haitian president, who is allegedly a member of the Port-au-Prince mafia. This group appears to be preparing to invite former President Trump and current Vice President Donald Trump Jr. to Port-au-Prince for a state visit. There are reports that the new government may invite US intervention. The US and the UN are discussing strategies for dealing with this situation."
To be fair, the US spokesperson's masterful maneuvering—from a single condemnation to initiating discussions, from unidentified armed groups to inviting the Trump family to the island, and then to the new government inviting US intervention—smoothly glossed over the Haitian coup. One might mistake it for different stages of government or organization, but it turns out it all refers to the troops sent by Li Xinghe.
Britain and France also issued lukewarm condemnations.
A UN spokesperson stated:
“We condemn the excessive use of force by unidentified armed groups, even though it was intended to restore order more quickly. We will consider further sanctions.”
However, perhaps the website wasn't very well designed. The top featured a condemnation article, while the bottom was an initiative to restore UN food and medical aid to Haiti, as well as recommendations for the re-entry of various organizations without borders regarding the restoration of order in Haiti.
It wasn't until four days after the outbreak of the crisis in Haiti, when a journalist who had infiltrated Doctors Without Borders secretly photographed North Korean soldiers on the streets and discovered a group of Japanese bureaucrats speaking English while conducting administrative planning in the government, that everyone realized what had happened.
The reporter filmed a short video:
"Look here, there's a headshot of Japanese Prime Minister Lee Sung-ha on the wall. The government is full of Japanese people, and there are also Chinese. He has East Asian ancestry and is said to be a descendant of the royal families of Korea and North Korea, so there are also many ordinary South Korean soldiers here. There also seems to be North Korean peacekeeping troops."
The foolish and naive reporter asserted:
"This is a secret peacekeeping operation involving multiple East Asian countries."
Regarding this situation, she summarized and sharply commented:
"The United Nations must have been unable to stand by and watch any longer, and secretly planned this cross-border takeover operation. Although we oppose foreign aggression, Haiti has fallen into a state of disorder and anarchy. Order is always better than no order."
The shocking news that peacekeeping forces from China, Japan, South Korea, and North Korea had entered Haiti has stirred up a storm among the people of East Asian countries.
People suddenly had a feeling that "the world order has changed, and the rise of the East and the fall of the West is inevitable," and "has our country's military capabilities developed to such an advanced stage?"
The most condemned point by American netizens:
"Why them? Why not America?"
Traditional netizens replied to him:
"Because historically, the United States has always been the one to create chaos."
But the realists told him humorously:
"Because Americans today are busy shooting their neighbors instead of saving them."
Later, when people discovered that the Trump family had also fled to Haiti, they were in a state of panic for a while.
Fortunately, the White House announced that the Trump family had purchased a large plot of land in Port-au-Prince under the guise of "going abroad for recuperation" and planned to reside there permanently.
Facing reporters, Trump picked up his accordion:
"I will invest in Haiti! I will lead you to prosperity, do you understand? I will make Haiti great."
Even Trump, seeing Haiti's filthy state, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
With his ability to lead the United States, how could he not lead a small place like Haiti?
But he didn't quite understand either.
What is it about Haiti, this cesspool of a country, that deserves development?
Aside from the beautiful natural environment, it seems to have only a cheap population.
The new peacekeeping government has been formed.
Toshimitsu Motegi served as interim prime minister, and Dominique Dupië, the former Haitian foreign minister, served as deputy prime minister as a woman of mixed Latin descent.
Mogi enthusiastically announced the plan at the government office:
"We will first organize Doctors Without Borders to go to the countryside, get HIV/AIDS patients in the community tested, organize healthy young men, register them, and revise a reliable household registration system."
Haiti's AIDS rate has exceeded 5%, which can be attributed to the exploitation of its citizens by President Duvalier Jr., who profited immensely from the suffering of his people and sold his blood to the United States, leading to the widespread AIDS epidemic.
It's time to bring this terrible disease under control.
As for organizing healthy young men, the goal is certainly not to recruit them into the army.
What are you doing?
The first step was to organize them to restore social production. They first dismantled the ruins of the Port-au-Prince earthquake, and then organized production teams to go to the countryside to build water conservancy facilities and plant trees to stabilize the soil and water.
Once society has recovered somewhat, they will be organized to work in various primary processing plants, such as small factories that assemble simple parts and export them to the United States.
Secondly, Haiti's tourism industry should be revitalized. By offering natural scenery and affordable travel options, wealthy women from neighboring countries can be attracted to visit. Hiring young men to play steel wool can also be considered a way to develop Haiti's unique service industry.
"In addition, we need to make arrangements for the organization of women in society. We should try to establish a 'Haiti Women's Mutual Aid Association'. We should try our best to prevent women from renting or selling themselves and give them job opportunities."
Haitian women rent themselves out for as little as $3 a day, the price of a bowl of rice.
Even at such a low price, appearance still matters.
When the peacekeeping troops first arrived in Haiti and set up their temporary camp, women willing to rent or even sell themselves stretched for 800 miles. Even so, it was only the lighter-skinned Native Americans and Hispanic women who were able to stand at the front of the line. Those with darker skin could only squat at the very back.
"So many women...so many jujubes..."
Standing on the lookout post of the camp, which was built by stuffing earth into the blast wall of the US military's Esk blast wall, the soldiers who had just left North Korea swallowed hard, looking at the scene below that resembled a zombie siege, at a loss.
The camp commander rushed out with a baton to warn everyone, especially the South Korean soldiers:
"Keep your pants down! The AIDS rate in Haiti is 5%! Especially for soldiers from South Korea, if any of you are found to be infected with AIDS, you'll be discharged from the military immediately and get out!"
North Korean soldiers are generally well-educated and have good moral character, but South Korean soldiers are not exactly known for their character, and they often have difficulty controlling their genitals. Therefore, the military camps quickly began distributing AIDS awareness materials and ordering South Korean soldiers to study them.
Under Mogi's arrangement, the Haitian government quickly resumed operations.
The United Nations provided $4 million in various forms of aid, which, under his arrangement, was mainly used to import various cheap foods in preparation for disaster relief.
Although he was not a powerful figure in Japanese politics, in Haiti, where the average person was illiterate, Toshimitsu Motegi slowly and methodically led the Haitian government, making him seem like a god descending to earth!
Haiti today is even worse than some of the poorest African countries. Mogi, a Harvard graduate, is practically a game-changer.
The government quickly resumed operations, and the military also had its own affairs to attend to.
The officers received Li Xinghe's secret orders and pulled the soldiers away to attend to other matters:
"Let's go about our own business."
"Why?"
Nonsense, it's smuggling!
Haiti, a country considered a wasteland, is only 700 kilometers from the nearest point on the US coast. It wouldn't be difficult for them to send a few large cargo ships to cross the ocean and unload goods on the Florida coast at night. And since everyone involved is a soldier, is it really that hard to import goods from within the country with zero tariffs for military purposes and then smuggle them to Florida?
The officers discussed:
"We also need some solar panels to generate electricity, open a cement plant to repair the naval port, and... we'll need a signal base station too, right?"
"How about setting up a military-run import company?"
Military involvement in business would be a disaster elsewhere.
But as I said before, for the seabed at this moment, having people willing to do business, and who are not afraid of gangsters or politicians, is already a kind of paradise-like happiness.
Soon, Ha Heon-cheol made a decision and had someone privately inform the soldiers in the camp:
"After the HIV test is completed, the military, in principle, allows you to find a local woman to temporarily form a family. But be careful, absolutely do not tell anyone. If a child is born, you will have to pay child support. If you are discharged and return to China, try to bring your child and wife back with you."
This decision was tacitly approved by officers from various countries. After all, they would be stationed here for several years, and it was better for the soldiers' pay to be spent on women than on frivolous gambling and prostitution. (The last two lines appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
Although the majority of Haitians are Black, it's not uncommon to see women of mixed white, Latina, and indigenous descent in Port-au-Prince. Soon, after HIV testing and registration, these fair-skinned, large-breasted women found their partners.
Li Xinghe, who declined to be named, revealed that Chinese exporters and Japan's five major trading companies had all tacitly flocked to Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Americans, especially those in the Southern states, particularly Florida, are about to witness an incredibly terrifying torrent of smuggled shipping containers!
Chapter 742: A Smuggling Ring in Haiti, Cultural Reforms in Vietnam (5700 words)
Drones are flying all over the skies above Haiti, using drone photography and satellite positioning to quickly survey the population and farmland.
Once the drones and satellite positioning simultaneously determine the relationship between the person and the residents in the farmland and village, the peacekeeping force, Japanese officials, and UN staff will immediately go to their homes to register their names, household registrations, family members, properties, and land.
Unfortunately, due to the diverse group in the queue, primarily composed of East Asians, they very forcefully used Chinese characters for registration. They then handed the new household registration booklet to this family.
"Remember this, your registered name is 'Hu Mada,' and this place is 'Group 1, Village A'!"
What? You say you don't understand?
That's great! Come to the village entrance tonight to watch the mobile learning group show you learning videos and teach you to read and write. After all, most Haitians are illiterate.
Because Haiti is a unique country in Latin America where French and a mix of languages are commonly spoken, very few people in the entire peacekeeping force understand French. Now, they're being forced into this situation, and the illiterate members have no choice but to follow the government. The new peacekeeping government is currently also working to integrate the languages and scripts of China, Japan, Korea, and North Korea, using Chinese characters as a model and several phonetic alphabets as supplementary tools, to facilitate language mixing in exchanges among the four countries.
On the way back, the working group was still chatting casually:
"Across the street is 'Group 3 of Yizi Village'. Today we found another family hiding in the ruins, I don't know if they are gangsters."
"Send peacekeeping troops to suppress them."
The main problem with staking out Haiti’s population is that their houses are not much different from ruins, making it difficult to define them.
The working group traveled in a classic Wuling minivan with the 'General Motors' logo. The sparse, rugged, muddy road was not friendly, and the road signs at the intersections still had bloodstains on human heads hanging on them, intimidating the local people.
