Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

For Cho Gu-hwan, the most important aspect of this operation was eliminating a large number of hostile forces suspected of usury, which further strengthened his party's control over the entire country.

Meanwhile, local anti-Li forces, deeply intertwined with gangsters, suffered a severe blow as a result. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated.)

Lee Sung-ha is undoubtedly using this massacre to answer the South Korean forces that are eager to take advantage of his choice of nationality at the age of 22 to drive him out of South Korean politics:

“I’m your father, go stand upright in your doghouse.”

……

Special Debt Resolution Center.

People lined up in long queues to apply for debt relief.

A retired lieutenant surnamed Jin squeezed in.

"Have you served in the military?"

He quickly replied:

"Yes, I used to be a squad leader in the air force!"

The employee asked:

"You incurred a huge debt of 2 million won due to leveraged trading in US stocks. After mediation by your lawyer, you must pay 7500 million won to get out of this mess?"

Captain Kim hurriedly pleaded:

"Yes, yes! I went to the battlefield for Kaka, I crossed the Han River Bridge for Kaka! Please help me."

After discussing it privately, the employees asked him:

"If you have military experience, I can offer you a job. Go to Taiping Island in the South China Sea as a special operations instructor, with a base salary of $2000 plus commission. The mission might be a bit dangerous; you'll be going to raid the Vietnamese islands. We'll take 33% of the proceeds each month to repay the loan that Kaka paid for you. You'll have to serve on the border for at least five years to repay Kaka's enormous kindness."

Even if it's only $2000 a month, that's still 520 million won, which is quite a good income in South Korea these days. Even with a 33% deduction each month, it's still nearly 350 million won. He wouldn't have such a good job if he hadn't crossed the Han River Bridge for Lee Sung-ha.

"I will always remember Kaka's kindness!"

Captain Kim burst into tears and knelt down on the spot.

People like him, with military experience but burdened with debt, were largely transferred to overseas posts. For example, the total number of troops stationed in Darwin, Australia, Haiti, and various islands in Southeast Asia exceeded 3.5.

Being able to serve in the military overseas is already considered a good outcome. Many people without military experience or vocational skills are only assigned to work as landfill workers or in various factories for nearly 10 years before they can pay off their current debts.

Another woman surnamed Park came in.

She was an ordinary employee at a small company.

The employee asked with concern:

"Another cryptocurrency speculator? 26 years old? How could a high school graduate with a monthly salary of 2 million won dare to use 30x leverage and lose 50 million won in one go?"

Ms. Park's bitter reply:

"It's because of the low income, the lack of hope for promotion, and the inability to become a full-time employee that..."

While 50 million Korean won may seem like only 100,000 RMB, for a low-level female office worker earning 2 million won a month and living at the very bottom of the social ladder, struggling to survive, it's an insurmountable chasm. In other words, it's precisely because she's unemployed, or her job only provides this much income, that she feels compelled to take a gamble.

Now he's lost the bet and is left with a mountain of debt.

The employee had no choice but to say:

“You can choose to accept this 20-year long-term bond of 1 million won, and we will deduct 20% from your income every month. If you lose your job, we will arrange a new job for you, such as an administrative staff member at a landfill. Or you can go to a matchmaking agency to find a faster way out.”

The special debt resolution center can only provide jobs that Koreans are unwilling to do in the first place. These include places like landfills, factories, and sewage treatment plants.

"A matchmaking center?"

So this woman clearly went to the matchmaking agency recommended by the other party on her own initiative.

The matchmaking center is located upstairs in the office building.

Theoretically speaking, this multinational matchmaking company has absolutely no connection with the Special Debt Relief Fund.

The other party told her:

"We will help you find a Chinese man you are satisfied with for a blind date and marriage. He will have a bachelor's degree and come from a good family. We will receive a dowry of 20 RMB from him, half of which will go to you and half to us, thus settling your debts. Other than that, we will not interfere with wedding expenses and gold and silver expenses; you and your husband can discuss those yourselves. In addition, to fulfill your responsibilities, you should at least consider having a child with the man before leaving; this is an unspoken agreement among all parties."

Ms. Park said:

"But I have a boyfriend..."

The employee's face darkened.

Isn't that incredibly inconsiderate?

She immediately corrected herself:

"Sorry, I don't have a boyfriend. I can."

Shandong has the largest number of Korean wives in the country, so most of them marry into Shandong province, which makes it convenient for them to return home.

The employees looked at the reports and complained:

"Next. How much does this one owe... 40 RMB? Hmm... Is he good-looking? Let's find some men in those southern provinces of China, see if any of them are willing to take him on."

Some quick-witted people say:

"If that doesn't work, could we take on some business from cosmetic surgery centers? To make minor adjustments to the brides in our shop window?"

The section chief clapped and cheered:

"That makes sense. This way, many near-bankrupt cosmetic surgery centers can survive."

Of course, matchmaking centers don't just do cross-border matchmaking. If a man in South Korea is willing to pay a huge sum to take over a relationship, they'd be happy to save themselves the trouble, but South Korean men are too stingy.

In short, the main task is to get rid of these women with huge debts as soon as possible and reduce the insane mountain of debt. Although some jobs are offered, there are still too few that can quickly pay off debts.

The media has been abuzz with discussion about the debt resolution center's rapid debt resolution plan, which involves "recruiting soldiers, making them slaves, and selling wives."

That's absolutely inhumane.

But the media didn't have a better solution either.

As Lee Sung-ha prepared to leave Seoul and return to Tokyo to prepare for the match, a reporter seized the opportunity to ask him a question at the airport:

"What is the purpose of establishing the special debt relief fund? Is it to hold the slave owner's claims against 850 million poor young and middle-aged people? What about South Korea's democratic voting? Can they freely choose their voting candidates?"

Li Xinghe glanced at Zhao Juhuan and immediately rebuked the reporter:

"So you mean I should just watch them get ripped off by all sorts of high-interest loans, and end up being forced to commit suicide, sell their organs, go into prostitution, or become murderous drivers? Are you going to sit idly by and watch South Korea's economy collapse because of the private high-interest loan problem, causing everyone to fall into the abyss together?"

The South Korean reporter was speechless.

A Japanese reporter also asked:

"What about Japan? What about those people in Japan who are heavily indebted?"

Li Xinghe then answered the more easily answered question:

"Japan is a step ahead of South Korea, and South Korea is a step behind Japan. We must govern the two countries separately and with different approaches. A policy that works for South Korea will not necessarily work for Japan. Japan's huge debt lies in government debt, while South Korea's huge debt lies in private and corporate debt. Japan should generally try to instill confidence in its people so that they can consume and take on debt, while South Korea should generally have the government mediate some of its private debt. I think this simple policy needs no explanation."

After being reprimanded in the "little black room," Central Bank Governor Li Changyong immediately began reciting a poem of gratitude:

"Of course, everyone should also know that the debt relief fund tool provided to the public is supported by Kaka's private funds. Kaka has put in a tremendous amount of effort for everyone. 850 million people have benefited, either through job placement or debt resolution. Isn't that enough?"

Hong Zhuangyuan also hurriedly warned the media:

"This is all thanks to Kaka for his immense kindness to the Korean people!"

Zhao Juhuan, standing next to him, was beaming with joy.

Nonsense. Nearly ten million extremely poor people and debt slaves, with life debts lasting from 5-10 years to 20-30 years, such a ruthless and solid voting bloc, it's no wonder that Zhao Juhuan is grinning from ear to ear.

The country is now an impregnable fortress.

In a sense, Lee Sung-ha was already the slave owner who controlled the largest population in South Korea.

Li Xinghe was pondering the usefulness of these people:

"With over 30 South Korean soldiers who are on the verge of being deployed overseas at any time... it seems rather cruel not to use them."

These people can be sent to Central America, India, and Myanmar to fight on the front lines.

Chapter 794: Postpartum Care of Sows, Prime Minister Allows Aircraft Carrier to Give Birth (4900 words)

The massacre in May did not affect Li Xinghe's international reputation.

After all, he was already an internationally renowned insect, famous for deploying troops to suppress the people. In order to ensure that Li Xinghe continued to serve as the East Asian Iron Fortress, the US government praised his actions.

Protecting the poor and eliminating usury is also a form of political correctness.

The Republican Party, represented by Vance, had to make sarcastic criticisms of Li Xinghe due to their differing political stances. However, supporters of the Democratic Party enthusiastically cheered for Li Xinghe, praising him as a good person.

"But stance is stance, and politics is politics. The American devils have never given up their desire to destroy us."

South Korean cyber police quickly discovered that, amid localized social unrest, the Democratic Party's global propaganda apparatus was tentatively launching a discourse offensive against South Korea, which was entering a period of economic adjustment.

The first major purge of South Korean politics has begun.

The political right wing, closely linked to gangsters and corrupt lawmakers, began criticizing the government for seizing 'private' property, while the South Korean left wing, aligned with Moon Jae-in, began defending Lee Sung-ha and praising his anti-usury policies. Many were ousted from politics, some even imprisoned.

The positions of the left and right wings in South Korea have actually begun to reverse.

Public opinion is more complex.

Many residents oppose Li Xinghe's debt reduction strategy and do not want to become 'human resources for the government to hoard'.

However, some people have pointed out:

"If these usurious loans are allowed to snowball, it will lead to a debt crisis for the entire society. To save the Republic of Korea, we've been raising 100 trillion won from all over the place to help the people. What is there to complain about?"

Some people also humiliated:

"They brought this on themselves! They can pay it back by working a few more years, right?"

Others have pointed out:

"It's not like we didn't offer them jobs with low-interest loans to pay off their debts. They just wanted to take shortcuts. What can we do? The men also want to get married. They can sell themselves and make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. It's just that they can't sell themselves."

TV hosts even openly criticized:

"Don't bark like a dog online if you're a beggar with perfect attendance records. If you're so capable, pay back your money first!"

Residents of Japan and South Korea seem to be very good at separating out the elderly, weak, poor, and disabled.

These impoverished groups, colloquially known as "perfect-attendance beggars," have become the root cause of social unrest in their eyes. Li Xinghe implemented a nationwide social stabilization to alleviate their suffering, yet they show no gratitude whatsoever.

Of course, there were some stubborn extremist groups that criticized Li Xinghe.

For example, the underground South Korean radical feminist organization Me criticized Rye Sung-ha in a telegram: "The King of Prostitution in East Asia. Tokyo and Busan under his rule are well-known hotbeds for prostitution, and our beloved Kaka has started transnational human trafficking, selling indebted Japanese and Korean women to Chinese men willing to pay high prices for their reproductive rights. To obtain newborns, he ruthlessly violates women's reproductive rights, and his character is no less than that of Syngman Rhee. Perhaps we should investigate whether he is truly not Syngman Rhee's son's posthumous child in America?"

That is indeed the case in theory.

During Lee Sung-ha's reign, prostitution in Japan and South Korea saw a significant increase, particularly streetwalkers and private brothels, which almost created several new hotspots for prostitution.

Aside from the major causes of the economic crises, both large and small, the secondary causes are quite outrageous.

Because Li Xinghe repeatedly cracked down on gangs, he created a safe market environment for prostitution. Without gang harassment and control, women who might otherwise engage in prostitution could operate more safely. Furthermore, with the influx of more immigrants, the number of Japanese and Korean women marrying immigrants is also surging.

Similarly, during Li Xinghe's reign, the number of abortions dropped dramatically, while the abandonment of newborns surged, because Li Xinghe ordered the unconditional acceptance of abandoned infants, and welfare institutions even relaxed some adoption criteria. However, abortion was indeed still quite expensive.

These telegram messages were quickly posted on the internet.

It's not just the rapidly escalating gender tensions in society; small animal protection and environmental protection organizations like the "Cat Protection Association" and the "Green Environmental Protection Association," which are usually kept in big cities, have all started to attack Li Xinghe's debt relief policy, arguing that Li Xinghe has violated human rights in this way and that way.

In response, the South Korean Special Warfare Command launched a second major crackdown on May 20.

Special Forces Commander Su Yumin is not as mild-mannered as Li Xinghe.

This young lady was jokingly referred to by netizens as a "buttocks toilet" and ranked high on a list of her cronies compiled by South Koreans.

So after Li Xinghe left, Su Yumin immediately mobilized eight special forces squads, driving trucks full of soldiers wielding batons through Seoul, and stormed towards the outposts of various international NGOs. Just a few days ago, they were killing people with guns on International Day of the Yellows; today, these soldiers, armed with batons, were beating up troublemakers on Valentine's Day, which originated in China.

The soldiers, having seen the screenshots on the phone beforehand, were enraged, their eyes red with fury. They grabbed the young man and woman inside, striking them repeatedly with their clubs, leaving afterimages in their wake.

"Damn it, a bunch of people who treat cats, dogs, and plants like their fathers, why are they insulting Kaka online? Don't they want to live?"

"You worthless scoundrel, eating your rice like a dog, yet you dare to speak disrespectfully of His Majesty!"

"What cats, dogs, and grass? Who gave you permission to talk nonsense?"

Lee Sung-ha was not in Seoul when young South Koreans truly experienced what suffering meant. Soldiers grabbed their hair and ripped it, kicking and beating them with large batons and boots; countless people were beaten until they vomited blood and broke bones.

Not only that, they were all detained by the military and taken to the South Korean intelligence agency in Seocho-dong, where they were interrogated under the same conditions as spies from other countries.

"Who gave you permission to say that!"
