Yes, Prime Minister of Japan
Page 828
And he exclaimed, "Five Wheat One".
After finishing her meal during the live stream, Hua Yingmei said to the camera:
"Fellow citizens, we must reform our mindset and increase our food and meat consumption. The height of our people is declining, and their physical condition is deteriorating, which is a very bad situation. Our students are starving, and the people are suffering from hunger, but people are pretending not to see it. I believe that having enough to eat is far more important than maintaining the so-called 'eating domestic rice'."
But the media reporters outside, of all people, seemed determined to bring up the most sensitive topics, with one even asking:
"Minister of the Cabinet, is it true that the government is encouraging the recruitment of international students to supplement the fiscal deficit? Why not subsidize Japanese students? Does this mean that people are sending their children to Chinese schools from a young age so that they can return to Japan to study at university as Chinese students?"
"Yes, because the university has a funding shortfall. Expel this person."
Hua Yingmei gave a straightforward answer.
Special forces surrounded the reporter and drove him out of the club for asking irresponsible questions. This person was never allowed into the press club again.
The reporters looked troubled.
They didn't know how to report this.
Telling the people that the domestically produced rice they eat is just so-so, and that they should eat more meat, is that politically incorrect?
Because in Japan, a peculiar country, there is no room for change in areas where preservation is possible. If change is desired, it requires a powerful figure with unquestionable authority to drive major reforms at the highest levels in order to loosen social consciousness.
Shang Qiujia tasted the pork on the side, then held her son Zhongren and said to the camera:
"What needs to be strictly pointed out and criticized is that the agricultural cooperative's value system, which promotes the idea that eating Japanese rice is the best and that people, land, and food are inseparable, is purely idealistic and unreasonable. What we need is for our people to be healthy and strong, not to elevate domestically produced rice to an unaffordable pedestal. What's the point of worshipping rice that we can't afford? The average height of Japanese children ranks last among all of China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. I don't want my son, Chung-Jin, to grow up to be short; only tall men are considered real men."
The transformation of the national spirit and lifestyle began with simply having enough to eat. The people were encouraged to eat realistically and practically.
Buy whichever is better quality and cheaper, whether it's imported or domestic.
The public's attitude towards these measures, encouraged by the mother of the Crown Prince, Shō Akiyoshi, and Chief Cabinet Secretary, Shika Mikage, is not very positive.
The basic values held by the Japanese people are quite peculiar. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the main theme.)
Their first reaction was to find the two women annoying and difficult.
"You're making a fuss about men wiping their butts and women using sanitary napkins? That's too much trouble!"
"Could it be that pork and vegetables produced by Chinese farms aren't selling well, so they want us to come and eat them?"
"I want to eat domestically produced rice!"
You say eating domestically produced rice isn't noble, then don't we, who have spent so much money on domestic products, look like idiots? People have spent so much money, starving and reading air, and we all endured it together, and then your royal family suddenly jumps out and says that eating more meat is the right thing to do, and that eating domestically produced rice is just a bunch of propaganda from the agricultural cooperatives. Didn't we starve for nothing all this time?
They looked like fools who had been rescued from a pyramid scheme but hadn't quite figured out what was going on.
After the performance, Li Xinghe was indifferent to the sarcastic and harsh comments online, but Shang Qiujia was unusually warmed up by the criticism.
Because a small independent media company in Tokyo released a video mocking Shang Qiujia:
"Is this Queen Shang Qiujia teaching the nation's women to frequent restaurants with predominantly male workers, to travel to China more often, and to experience new things? Is this what a national spiritual and lifestyle reform movement is supposed to be? It feels more like a guide for teaching the nation's women to go astray. Haven't you forgotten the story of the US refusing visas to Japanese women?"
This is an implication that Shang Qiujia is teaching Japanese women how to be prostitutes, and a sarcastic remark that there are many prostitutes in Japan, and that ordinary women would also be treated as prostitutes if they went out, so they should not go to China.
The first half is clearly taken out of context.
The second half is roughly correct. Nowadays, many Japanese women use China's visa-free travel permits to fly to China to do "short-term work." This means they go to a certain city, hire an agent, and secretly work for three days. Not only do they save money on travel, but they can even make a lot of money.
But under the media's forceful manipulation, it seems as if ordinary women going on vacation are just selling their buttocks.
However, the majority of people are normal, so this is a classic case of playing the humiliation card. Stitching together truth and falsehood is something self-media loves to do.
Li Xinghe had seen plenty of these kinds of self-media outlets that were used to stirring up trouble and liked to use headlines like "studying journalism" to mock Li Xinghe's government.
Shang Qiujia simply couldn't stand it.
Her signature foxy smile vanished, replaced by an angry outburst as she ran off to find her female special forces escort squad:
"Damn it, grab them!"
The female special forces were shocked.
Your Majesty, you have used foul language.
"Just curse, fuck them! Humph! Let's go!" Shang Qiujia picked up an iron rod and led her men out to the address of this self-media outlet.
The once dignified and lovely Queen, whose media image was gentle and charming, had now been corrupted by Li Xinghe, and her wild instincts had erupted. After going upstairs, she smashed the glass door with a stick and angrily kicked the desk of the tabloid: "Who is making up stories about me? Get out here and take your beating!"
Everyone instinctively pointed to an obese, middle-aged manager. Without a word, Shang Qiujia swung the stick at him:
"Who gave you permission to insult our national spiritual reform movement? Isn't it thanks to His Excellency Taiko that you have enough to eat? Who gave you permission to humiliate women? When your mother, your wife, and your sisters go abroad for a trip, are they going to spread their legs and eat mugwort for three days?"
The office staff were stunned. Then a group of female special agents rushed in, protecting Shang Qiujia as they beat up the manager who had used humiliation tactics. He was beaten until his head was bleeding and he fled out the door.
Such a beating, without any attempt to conceal it, instantly spread across the internet.
The image of Her Majesty the Queen smashing up a self-media company at night and violently beating a brainless editor with an iron rod instantly went viral online, and the news quickly climbed to the top of the trending headlines in Japanese media.
Netizens, on the contrary, became excited.
They think it's no trouble to let them eat their fill. But watching Her Majesty beat people is so exciting.
Hit hard, whip hard, I like it, I love watching it.
"Her Majesty is truly genuine!"
"This kind of person deserves to be beaten!"
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
Japanese women idolize Shang Qiujia, who wields a stick; she's very good and powerful.
Shang Qiujia was then taken to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and then transferred to the Imperial Palace Police Headquarters. The Imperial Palace announced that he was being detained, but in reality, he was never confined for a single day.
The manager who was beaten up resigned immediately.
The first wave of propaganda campaigns for national spiritual reform was swayed by Shang Qiujia's iron rod.
Li Xinghe had no choice but to go on Fuji TV to launch a second wave of his campaign, urging his female fans to feed their families more meat and buy more cheap imported agricultural products. He also promoted his political achievements.
In the television studio, Li Xinghe sat in front of the camera:
"Netizens say that we did this to sell the unsold vegetables from our farms. Well, that's not entirely true, but I still want to report our great victory to the nation."
Indeed, the new immigrant farm reclamation project, which has been underway for nearly two years, has entered a period of explosive growth in agricultural product supply.
In the past two years, the newly arrived million Southeast Asian Chinese immigrants have created more than 800 agricultural settlements, distributed along the edge of the Kanto Plain, the Niigata Mountains, several mountain plains in the Tohoku region, and around Hokkaido, and around major cities. A few have also settled in the mountainous areas of Kansai.
Li Xinghe recited:
"By redeveloping 80 hectares of abandoned farmland, replanning more than 60 hectares of land that farmers' cooperatives requested to fallow, along with the comprehensive renovation of villages with severe aging populations, and the acquisition and new development of large areas of mountainous and forested areas, we can say that we have completed a massive economic development project."
"Our rice production increased by 130 million tons in one year, exceeding 800 million tons, a surge of 20%, finally reversing the decline in grain supply since the agricultural cooperative's reduction of taxes. In addition, pork supply increased by 500 tons, with my country's original annual pork production at 128 million tons, a significant increase of about 25%. The supply of various vegetables increased by about 970 million tons, from an original annual production of 230 million tons before development, an increase of more than 50%. In addition, there has been a huge increase in various vegetables such as burdock, radish, cabbage, pumpkin, and yam. The poultry supply has not yet been fully calculated, but the egg supply has increased from an annual production of 300 million tons to 30 million tons, an increase of 30%. As for fruits, since most of the fruit trees in the development plan have only been planted for one year, there has not been a significant increase."
In summary, by bringing in more than one million farmers and developing on a large scale, the overall agricultural production volume was increased by about 30%.
In reality, these immigrants were not many compared to the original large population of Japanese indigenous people, and they lived in agricultural areas, so city dwellers did not feel much inconvenience from the immigration. As for Taiwanese immigrants, they did not appear in the Kanto and Tohoku regions where agricultural immigrants were mainly active, and coupled with the political correctness of protecting immigrants from the Taiwan Strait, it was barely acceptable.
The citizens of Tokyo were overjoyed and wept with joy, finally able to enjoy cheap and high-quality vegetables.
The first phase of the agricultural recovery plan was a great success, so Li Xinghe was full of confidence and celebrated his achievement.
The specially invited guests lined up in an orderly fashion, subtly praising the Taiko in front of the cameras:
"May I ask Your Excellency, how many more farmers will be introduced, and what are the expected goals?"
Li Xinghe replied:
"We expect to bring in another three to four million farmers, greatly expand the number of state farms, and fully restore the agricultural production that was destroyed by the agricultural cooperatives."
A guest relayed the message:
How does it compare to the rest of the world? For example, India?
Li Xinghe didn't answer, so the other guests answered for him:
"India? India's per capita meat consumption is 3.7 kilograms, and our poultry supply, which we can't even measure, is higher than theirs. His Majesty's agricultural recovery plan has been an unparalleled achievement in the world over the past decade!"
This guest is a very good speaker.
Finally, one of the guests 'actively asked a question':
"So, what is your opinion on the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries?"
Li Xinghe put pressure on the Japanese government:
"I have only one request for that corrupt government: continue to drastically reduce staff and clean up the mess, and strip them of all their authority. Let them do what they want, and I'll do what I want. If the agricultural production recovery guidance plan is successful, I will abolish the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and transfer its authority to the Cabinet's Agriculture Agency."
This is a direct attack on Japanese bureaucrats who want to slack off.
Once the second wave of propaganda was launched, Japan's "winning theory" immediately began to take effect.
You say the Japanese aren't happy about eating imported goods, but when you talk about the great recovery of agricultural production, which has led to an increase in domestically produced goods, they happily rush to buy them.
Li Xinghe, along with Tsutsumi Rei and Miyaji Ai, went to the countryside again to inspect the farm managed by the "straightforward" guy.
After renovating the existing chicken farm, the farm is now able to produce tens of thousands of eggs every day, supplying the surrounding cities.
The Press Club released official photos:
The great Taiko inspected the farm.
Netizens actively commented:
Note: The second fox from the left is the Taiko.
Note: The farm has been penalized because foxes are not allowed in chicken farms.
"The great nine-tailed fox is inspecting his chicken coop."
……
The propaganda campaign for the reform of people's lives was in full swing, and the public began to break the impression that "we must eat domestic rice".
At this moment, Vance's team finally landed at Yokota Airport.
Li Xinghe personally led Kay Trump to greet the First Lady of the United States.
Vance's wife, Usa, is 44 years old this year.
Unlike East Asian women who maintain their radiant appearance through long-term skincare and cosmetic procedures, Usa Vance, at 44, already looks somewhat aged. Her naturally dark brown Dravidian skin doesn't suit her type for most people.
Welcome to Tokyo.
Li Xinghe stepped forward and gave him a perfunctory hug.
The person who actually came to discuss matters this time was neither Secretary of State Rubio nor Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg.
Instead, it was another Under Secretary of State responsible for foreign affairs, Christopher Landau.
To expedite the negotiations, the meeting was held in the reception room at Yokota Air Base.
Deputy Secretary of State Landau politely reminded Li Xinghe:
"Japan is still too close to Russia and China."
Is it too close?
That's practically a rebellion.
This shows that the United States really needs Li Xinghe's help and has no choice but to be humble.
Li Xinghe raised his chin:
"What can the United States give Japan? Cheap natural gas, oil? Or cheap medicine? I think if you can't provide the corresponding products, it will be difficult for me to stop trade with China and Russia."
Landau was speechless.
What you're describing is also very expensive in the United States.
Li Xinghe pressed his advantage:
"Excuse my bluntness, but do you know the prices of water, electricity, and gas in Tokyo? Since 2020, they have doubled in five years, and they had already doubled once five years ago. If I can no longer provide cheap resources for the people, Japan will become the next Germany. Although the Japanese are very docile, they still have some temper compared to the slave-like Americans. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated for this reason. Are you trying to interfere in Japan's internal affairs and kill me?"
This is true. A considerable number of national hospitals and universities in Japan are facing operational difficulties due to rising costs of utilities such as water, electricity, and gas, as well as drug prices.
For example, the high cost of water and electricity makes the cost of electric trains in Japan even higher than that of gasoline-powered vehicles. This forces residents to carefully plan even their household water usage.
It can be said that the people are willing to watch Li Xinghe make a fuss because he can actually bring down the prices of food, water, electricity, and gas.
Landau hesitated before saying:
"The United States has no intention of interfering in Japan..."
"What if I look through articles from American public think tanks and Ivy League political science departments and find evidence that the United States is trying to interfere in Japan?"
Li Xinghe immediately retorted.
