Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"We all reluctantly agreed."

The discussion paused briefly, and Li Xinghe poured wine for Lao Wu as a toast:

"Today we are discussing three major relationships, which are essentially about where East Asia is headed in the future. Whether it's the Japan-Japan immigration relationship, Taiwanese immigration to Japan, mainland Chinese immigration to Taiwan, the China-Japan security treaty, or even the China-South Korea and China-North Korea security treaties, I don't know what the future holds, but I hope we can all reach the other side."

Where East Asia is headed in the future is where China is headed.

How China will create its own international order is a grand question that no one can answer right now.

Li Xinghe's goal is to build a dual order similar to that of the United States and NATO. In this system, China would be responsible for building the global economic order, while Li Xinghe would be responsible for cracking down on disobedience overseas. This would involve coordinated efforts both inside and outside the system to address the order void left by the US's departure.

But we don't know exactly where we'll get there yet.

Perhaps the Haiti model will become a pioneering example.

Perhaps the upcoming situation in the Philippines and the Taiwan Strait will become a testing ground for exploration and experimentation.

Just as Wu Jianzhong was feeling quite moved and drinking with Li Xinghe under the moonlight, someone gradually approached.

The intense, dramatic atmosphere of their discussion about dragons and tigers instantly subsided, returning to normal.

Hanabatake Ouyu Tamako, carrying a plate of snacks, knelt at the doorway, pushed it open, and then gracefully moved inside.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." She smiled very kindly, and you couldn't tell at all that she was actually Li Xinghe's grandmother.

Li Xinghe smiled and waved his hand, then lay down on his side on the tatami mat:

"Ah, if we're discussing bringing in more international refugees from war, the question is where we should place them."

The so-called war refugees are those who have been deprived of their rights during wartime. Japan had a very limited pool of refugees, only giving them a few hundred people from Ukraine. Then, three years later, they took these people to the Fukushima area to be exposed to radiation.

Wu Jianzhong touched his increasingly balding head and said with the greasiness and politeness of a middle-aged man:

"It's too difficult for someone like me, a mere HR director, to discuss this. I only know how to recruit taxi drivers. I'll take my leave now."

Wu Jianzhong got up and left, handing a thick envelope to Miss Yuzhi at the door:

"This is a small token of appreciation from everyone in the company; please don't refuse it."

In Yu-Chih's view, this was Sally Group bribing its major shareholder.

She returned to the room and made the bed for Li Xinghe.

It was already September, and the two smuggling routes and the arms supply to Vance had brought Li Xinghe hundreds of billions of dollars in profit.

As the constitutional reforms entered the judicial process, Li Xinghe's family became increasingly busy, as Scarlett, Mimi, and Shang Qiujia, who had all become pregnant during the Lunar New Year period, entered the Royal Hospital to prepare for childbirth.

Japanese media focused far more on Scarlett Johansson and Shang Qiujia's pregnancies than on constitutional reform. After all, the former would determine General Jacqueline Kennedy's and the US military's support for Li Xinghe, while the latter meant the survival of the nation's politics. Although everyone knew that Shang Qiujia was carrying a boy.

Just as Yuzhi was making the bed for Li Xinghe, the door to the shrine rang again.

This time, it was Ayako Aso who appeared at the door, accompanied by bodyguards.

She was out of breath, holding a pregnancy test in her hand.

Li Xinghe was surprised:

"Ayako, what brings you here?"

Ayako Aso took two steps forward and whispered:

"I'm pregnant too."

She calculated that it was probably around July, the day Li Xinghe and Ayako Aso went to the Fukushima nuclear power plant, that they spontaneously gave birth, and she was probably more than two months pregnant.

After inviting Ayako Aso and her female bodyguard in, the shrine remained quiet and as usual.

But Yuzhi was already envious of Caizi's little belly.

Li Xinghe fell into thought:

"This is the son of nuclear power."

Chapter 745: Sino-Japanese Cooperation is the Lifeline; Ayako's Election in Taiwan (5100 words)

A bustling shrine in Tokyo.

The sacred land, where thousands of worshippers come during the day, is occasionally punctuated by the soft, seductive music of shrine maidens.

Under the illumination of professional lighting equipment and cameras, Hanabatake Ouji Tamae, dressed in a shrine maiden outfit that couldn't cover anything, lay prostrate on the floor, shaking her breathtaking shrine maiden body, receiving Li Xinghe's injection amidst sweating and pleasurable moans.

Meanwhile, the naked Ayako Aso, with a hint of jealousy, lightly kissed Ms. Tamaki, helping Li Xinghe to enjoy himself even more.

Then Miss Yuzhi fell to the ground, and Ayako Asou knelt before Li Xinghe. Ignoring the wetness on Yuzhi's body, Ayako Asou kissed and licked her diligently, then looked up at her master like a pitiful little puppy:

"I have a request. I hope this child will inherit the Aso family name."

"of course can."

Li Xinghe touched her hair.

Although the Aso family has a son, it's not a big problem. Leaving their family's hundreds of billions of assets to this child is also Li Xinghe's wish.

“Also… you can leak information privately, saying that the child was likely conceived in a nuclear-contaminated area, giving the public a hint, and then you can come out and deny it,” Li Xinghe said.

Creating a persona of beauty, strength, and tragedy is the ticket for political upstarts to reach the top.

Li Xinghe wasn't particularly concerned with these petty political maneuvers. His reputation was already tarnished; the exile of Koizumi, the cabinet power grab, the removal of all LDP members, and the fact that several former prime ministers were now scattered across the country—these were countless crimes. Having Aso Ayako use Li Xinghe to cultivate a certain public image for the prime ministerial election was simply a normal family matter.

Trump pulled off far more messes in his campaign than anyone else.

"Thank you, Master."

Ayako Aso affectionately increased her strength, deeply swallowing the great galaxy, repaying her master's kindness.

However, she did not keep it for herself. When the Great Galaxy was about to release its essence, she took the initiative to give up her position so that Miss Yuzhi, who had no children, could perfectly receive the blessing.

The female bodyguards were still outside the door, and Ayako Aso knelt down and pleaded:

"Ah, speaking of which, there are a lot of people online who want to vote for unconventional and eccentric candidates. People like Taro Yamamoto from the Shinsengumi want to run. I would like to request tactical guidance."

This leads to a deeper discussion of election issues.

Li Xinghe patted the tatami mat.

The two young women immediately sat cross-legged and listened to Li Xinghe's teachings.

However, under such blatant lighting, the two people's smooth, fleshy thighs were pressed together, their luxurious and firm breasts pressed together, like two milk-filled cookies, one plump and the other firm.

Li Xinghe pinched the big one, licked the small one, and lay between them in warmth and fragrance before saying:

"Silly boy, the problem is still the economy. As long as you focus on the economy, no one can beat you, because I'm here."

He has his own in-depth analysis:

"Remember, there is a very clear warning line for Japan's economic security, which is the long-term stable linkage between the economies of China and Japan. Even when Fumio Kishida wanted to completely align with the United States along with Yin Xiyue a few years ago, the economies of China and Japan did not decouple. If you focus on the economic linkage between China and Japan during the election, no one can beat you."

This is a real-world example of Li Xinghe's statement that "Japan's only problem is the security treaty issue."

As Li Xinghe explained, the economies of China and Japan are deeply intertwined, from joint ventures between Toyota and Honda to the export of upstream semiconductor products; they are almost always linked. A large number of Japanese companies operate in China, and a large number of Chinese companies operate in Japan.

It is precisely this deep economic ties that give Japan a sense of security.

Many Japanese people share a consensus: as long as China does not voluntarily decouple its economy from Japan, China's nuclear missiles will not be launched into Tokyo for the time being.

This is precisely why we can understand why Shigeru Ishiba had the opportunity to rise to power. As a native-originator, he highly valued and clearly realized that in the cross-strait struggle between China and Japan, Japan could become a punching bag for China to reunify Taiwan at any time. After all, Taiwan is still involved in the civil war, while Japan is a purely defeated country. Once the economy is decoupled, the mainland army can use Japan as a stepping stone to unite the national will and then easily turn around and sweep away Taiwan.

So when Fumio Kishida tried to side with the United States, he resigned.

Shigeru Ishiba adheres to localism and firmly refuses to be involved in any conflict in Taiwan, consistently denying that "a conflict in Taiwan means a conflict in Japan." This stems from his fear that Japan might one day become a scapegoat on the road to reunifying Taiwan. His actions can be seen as a manifestation of Japanese political forces' refusal to be dragged into a war across the Taiwan Strait.

Li Xinghe can only say it's a great pity. If China were truly determined to decouple its economy from Japan, eliminating Japan before attacking Taiwan would be a way to avoid civilian casualties from an attack on Taiwan. After all, Japan is universally recognized as a national enemy, requiring no mobilization or psychological barriers. Just look at how many people enlist. After defeating Japan, Taiwan wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"There's really no need to worry so much. So what if it's universal suffrage? I have a million ways to help you get elected."

Li Xinghe made a joke:

"Do you know the joke that starts with: Do you think Japan has a democratically elected government?"

This lame joke failed to deliver a punchline, and neither Tamae nor Ayako Aso understood its meaning.

They didn't understand what was so funny.

Li Xinghe said in a high-pitched voice, full of self-deception:

I think I am~

"ah!"

The two beauties then realized what was happening and started hitting Li Xinghe.

Is it even appropriate to make such a lame joke?

The behavior of Ayako Aso and Tamae clearly demonstrates their "I think I am" characteristic. They genuinely believe they are.

However, South Korea is the only country in East Asia with a relatively normal democratic political system based on electoral elections. Its existence ended a mere thirty years after the fall of the Roh Tae-woo government and the Yoon Seok-youl government, and that era is now history. Lee Sung-ha has joined forces with Cho Gu-hwan and the military to kick out both the right wing, which seeks nuclear weapons, and the left wing, which suppresses the military.

Taking advantage of Ayako Aso's plea for help, Tamae Hanabatake also asked:

"Our shrine maiden party and idol party feel like they're almost at their expansion limit."

Li Xinghe countered:

"So what are your political aspirations? Are you considering taking it a step further and working in the cabinet?"

Yuzhi then said:

“Maria Miyake and I are planning to form a political party called the Shrine Maiden and Idol Party, and then run for the National Assembly election together.”

"can."

After a moment's thought, Li Xinghe naturally agreed.

It's kind of funny, because the left-wing parties in Tokyo are so powerful, the old right-wingers are having trouble finding anyone to vote for. Between voting for anime/manga and voting for the Communist Party, they'd probably rather grit their teeth and support anime/manga.

Then Li Xinghe had a great time.

……

9 month 15 day.

The highly anticipated election for Prime Minister and Member of Parliament is about to begin after months of preparation.

Bunshun Weekly drops a bombshell:

"Prime Minister candidate Ayako Aso became pregnant on the night of the rally to address the Fukushima nuclear contamination, but has yet to announce it publicly, leading to speculation that the child may have been mutated due to nuclear radiation contamination!"

The headline was quite serious, supposedly featuring a photo of Ayako Aso entering and leaving the Royal Hospital, looking worried and seemingly unwell.

The explosive news instantly became a top news story nationwide!

The handling of the Fukushima nuclear crisis, coupled with Ayako Aso's election campaign, instantly drew the nation's attention.

The TV station began a segment characteristic of Japanese news, breaking down a single event into ten smaller ones and inviting a group of professionals to comment on each one in turn, a slow and meticulous broadcasting process. Nuclear contamination experts specifically commented on the incidence of childhood illnesses in the Fukushima area, while Chernobyl researchers posted the rates of birth defects and treatments at the time. Although their comments had nothing to do with Ayako Aso, they all seemed to imply that her children had been contaminated by radiation.

Seeing all this, public sympathy continued to grow.

The following day, Ayako Aso announced that she would hold a large political rally in front of Sakuradamon in Tokyo to announce several of her campaign plans and the parent organization of her political party.

Clutching the stylish little choker around her neck, Ayako Aso took a deep breath and stepped onto the assembly platform.

She addressed the voters with unwavering resolve:

"I will give birth to this child and will not abort it because he or she might get sick from radiation. At the same time, I hope everyone can understand that these so-called nuclear radiation rumors are actually spontaneously formed from people's deep-seated fear of the Fukushima nuclear leak. This shows that we still have a long way to go on the road to revitalizing Fukushima Prefecture. Only when we clean up the nuclear-contaminated land in Fukushima and bring the radiation levels back below the safe line will people's panic lessen. The sin of burying one's head in the sand like the Liberal Democratic Party did in the past, pretending that what is not seen does not exist, must be eradicated! Let's start with me and my child!"

Such a resounding statement immediately drew a round of applause.

Although she started with the children affected by nuclear radiation, Ayako Aso was actually capitalizing on people's subconscious impression of the 'Fukushima nuclear crisis,' and still focused on addressing nuclear pollution.

Generally speaking, a prime minister's family situation is a very serious matter. For example, there have long been rumors that Obama was gay and that his marriage was a sham, but he never divorced. Another example is Trump; he and his wife Melania have long been separated and have broken up, but for the sake of the presidency, he cannot easily divorce.

With Kazumi Shikamachi still raising her child, the rise of Ayako Aso, whose status is akin to that of a mistress, could easily undermine the subconscious national consensus among the people.

Now, coincidentally, this child is linked to Ayako Aso and the management of the Fukushima nuclear crisis.

People are more interested in seeing a strong female prime minister and less interested in asking where the child's father is.

Taking advantage of such a powerful speech, the trending topics prepared by various media outlets quickly rose to the top, amplifying Ayako Aso's publicity.

Just as the public was marveling at Ayako Aso's magnanimous performance in front of the media and television cameras, feeling that she was more determined than she appeared and perhaps a good target for governing the country, Ayako Aso's supporters arrived on the scene.

Lu Yuchi Huayingmei walked onto the stage holding her son 'Ren'!

This poised and elegant beauty, along with many elderly men and women from various political parties, took to the stage together.

Even Makiko Tanaka came to support her political successor.
