Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

“It’s a bit like playing spy house. Have you seen it?”

“Huh? Am I the funny little girl character in the role of Anya?”

“Loveliness is power.”

“Nonsense, I am a dignified and elegant young lady that my classmates look up to.”

“Don’t hold the pistol, young lady.”

“Then I am… Licorice! (Beautiful JK Gunner)”

In fact, I have never watched Azuma Ai. I only found out about it when I was researching anime to understand the hobbies of male college students.

The author says:

Author’s note: Thank you for your support. Spy House is probably more famous. Lycoris is an animation about high school girls shooting guns in a cyber world view similar to V for Vendetta. But the ending is a bit bad (modified wording), and only the characters are sold.

Chapter 95: She Wants to Join the Communist Party

Although it sounds outrageous to take his daughter to see Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei, Li Xinghe has his own ideas.

Because Yukimi Higashikawa felt uneasy.

Although Li Xinghe knew that the reason why the young lady was uneasy was not really because of love, but because the power represented by Lu Yuchi was huge, if she didn’t join the gang, she would be the boss, and if she joined the gang, she would be the boss. It was hard to say who would join whom at that time. This woman was a pure moral vacuum, and she had to stay away from her.

So he has to be careful, because nothing can spoil the mood more than bringing a child to a blind date.

Of course, the meeting itself was a bit of a letdown.

Li Xinghe took Azuma Ai to Shibaura 1-chome and called Tsutsumi Rei down: “Come with me to meet a member of parliament.”

After walking a few steps, he found that Tsutsumi Reimi was shaking with fear. Li Xinghe had to rub her philtrum and comfort her: “Don’t worry, it’s a female councillor. I’m not a scum who uses women as tools.”

“Intimate Marseilles…”

Tsutsumi Reimi went back and took the two girls with her.

Today we drove Reimu’s Lexus, and Azuma Ai sat obediently in the car, holding the hands of the two little girls.

Tsutsumi Reimi looked back curiously and jealously:

“Who is this?”

“My daughter, really.”

Li Xinghe suppressed the jealousy of this person.

When it came to the introduction of Reiji Tsutsumi, Li Xinghe scratched his head:

“This is Tsutsumi Rei, the host of Fuji TV’s news channel, my female friend.”

“…spouse!”

Tsutsumi Rei told Azuma Ai very seriously.

“The beautiful anchor on TV…”

And my wife’s facial expression with eyes wide open is like a little girl who sees the chaotic world for the first time: My dear dad has a disordered sex life.jpg.

Li Xinghe had no choice but to urge Di Lishi to drive to the restaurant quickly.

When they arrived at the box, Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei sat alone by the French window, watching many people coming up from Li Xinghe’s side, she joked:

“It’s a huge formation.”

“It’s nothing compared to the majesty of the senator. We are the only ones in the entire restaurant. You are the one with the real might.” Li Xinghe cleverly returned the teasing.

This famous hotel in Roppongi was closed today and only received the female congresswoman.

Miss Shikamiyachi had a beautiful smile, her curved eyes hiding the window to her soul. She pointed at the child leaning against the glass window overlooking Roppongi and said:

“You don’t look like someone who would take care of children. If you come to my office in the future, you can let the secretary take care of the children.”

Tsutsumi Reimi bowed her head and apologized, then sat at the table next to her.

Li Xinghe pulled out a chair and sat down, calmly counterattacking:

“Can I take it that you are discussing your future life? That’s a very long story. We are not at the stage of discussing that yet.”

The two men sat down, their eyes clashing like physical blades.

Miss Lu Yuchi tilted her cheek and said in a light and playful tone:

“For decades of life, every step must be taken with caution. Whether it is selecting a political secretary or someone close to you, if you want to reap sweet fruits, you must cultivate the seedlings ten years in advance.”

Li Xinghe observed her expression conservatively:

“Then what do you suggest?”

At this point, Kamei Shikamura’s introduction finally came to an end, and she immediately got to the point:

“If I were to suggest it, you could go make a movie. A young handsome guy like you, born in the United States, raised in Canada, and with a mother who is a famous producer, director, and screenwriter in the entertainment industry, wouldn’t it be easy for you to become famous?”

Li Xinghe noticed some clues.

This woman was trying to control his life. She was attacking and defending, trying to test Li Xinghe’s character. She had a special desire for control. Perhaps for her, the person she finally chose must be under her full control.

But as a spy, Li Xinghe cannot be exposed to the public for long.

“When making a film, it’s hard to say what the political stance is.”

However, Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei did not believe his hesitation at all, and guided Li Xinghe like the sound of gurgling spring water:

“Then make art films first. If you want to continue to develop, try making mainstream films. If you don’t want to develop, go back to politics. Oh, right, you have never been back to China, let me tell you the difference.”

Then, she began to talk about the political situation in the film and television industry.

Although it sounds simple, the core is actually very complex.

In the Japanese film and television industry, it is difficult to clearly determine the political stance of actors, but you can understand it by watching the films they star in.

The core of all art films is left-wing anti-war, anti-imperialism, and free love. When it comes to mainstream films, they switch to conservative or even extreme right-wing.

After all, making art films doesn’t make money, so directors and actors can be more relaxed in expressing their ideas. Once it comes to mainstream films, considering that the mainstream in Japan is conservative and right-wing, it is not difficult to find reasons to switch sides.

Therefore, many actresses jump from left to right at the same time. For example, Miyazaki Aoi and Inoue Mao, the former first did the left and then the right, and the latter continued to shoot right-wing films after losing the market.

Those who are good at it are the national beauty Haruka Ayase, who is a left-wing actress who is extremely good at balancing the left and the right. When she is on the left, she makes art films, shoots NHK documentaries on human experiments during World War II, and goes to Chengdu to see pandas; when she is on the right, she serves as a spokesperson for the Olympics and speaks for the government.

However, because she was not right-wing enough, politically correct and obedient, she was gradually overshadowed by stars associated with the Soka Gakkai, such as Ishihara Satomi. Speaking of the Soka Gakkai, a group that seems to be pro-China and left-wing, but is actually a cult right-wing group that formed its own political party, the Komeito Party, and came to power, is a very complicated topic. Mao Inoue has been making right-wing films. In fact, she is a child of the Soka Gakkai family.

Yui Aragaki, a popular otaku wife, is quite special in that she has no political stance at all. She plays all kinds of romantic dramas, even when she is filming a recruitment propaganda drama for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, it is a classic love story. But she also has a history of falling into trouble for endorsing advertisements.

This is indeed a good opportunity.

But Li Xinghe smiled and rejected Miss Lu Yuchi’s life arrangement:

“According to what you said, I am not suitable to appear in TV movies. After all, my father is Chinese. The general public will definitely not accept it.”

“No, this is a unique opportunity. In a few years, both the political arena and the people will be turned upside down.”

There was a gleam of wisdom in her eyes, and she clearly had a unique and forward-looking perspective on politics.

Although the United States is irreversibly tilting toward right-wing imperialism in today’s world, and the bases of Japan and South Korea are also rapidly turning right, the right turn of Japan and South Korea is due to the rise of the other side. Once they turn too far, they will go from extreme right-wing anti-China to Sinophobia and finally kneel down to face the reality.

It was precisely because of sensing this change in historical trend that Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei began to prepare for public opinion in advance.

She glanced at Tsutsumi Reimi, held Li Xinghe’s wrist tightly, and said sincerely:

“Then I’d better get straight to the point. There’s no point beating around the bush with you. Li Xinghe, be my political secretary. Outside of work, we can jointly set up an art film photography company to shoot art films that promote internationalism and freedom, and then try to enter the TV drama market. You are half Chinese and grew up in the United States. Your family has connections in the entertainment industry, and you will definitely have easy connections with the embassies in Japan on both sides. And I will help Sanae Takaichi get to the top while moving closer to the center-left political stance. When the time comes… we may be the founders of Japan’s first republic.”

Her eyes revealed the gaze of a powerful beast.

Kanoike supports left-wing art films not out of personal morality like Ayase Haruka, but out of the need for Mearsheimer-style real geopolitics. She sees the future of the East rising and the West falling, so she places a bet in advance to create conditions for her turn.

She is a woman, and women naturally support the left-wing line. As early as the 60s and 70s when the Kotobuki movement was in full swing, Japan’s housewives were the rear base supporting the students in their bloody battles.

It is easy for women to switch sides, even if she is now in the extreme right-wing camp of Takaichi Sanae. There are ten thousand reasons to want to switch sides, and it is easy.

The so-called international route is the left-wing social route. Although its original meaning refers to the pan-left-wing thought (and in fact it does not completely like China), for her, it is another alias for the pro-China and friendly China route.

Li Xinghe just felt his heart skip a beat.

The good thing is, she wants to join the Communist Party.

Bad things too.

This woman with a moral vacuum wants to join the Communist Party!

The author says:

Author’s note: Thank you for your support. The left-right dispute in the Japanese film and television industry is also a very complicated issue.

Chapter 96 Kennedy even laughed

wrong.

Damn, if you talk about joining the Communist Party in front of an American, unless you are crazy, there must be a reason.

Li Xinghe changed his attitude in less than 10 seconds and asked her:

“You’re saying this in front of an American like me?”

Obviously, even if he joined the Communist Party, Li Xinghe could only treat Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei’s proposal with caution.

She currently still stands in the right-wing conservative group. Her so-called shift to the left in film and television entertainment is more reflected in her keen vision of future changes in the political landscape.

The lady held Li Xinghe’s wrist tightly with both hands and commented without question:

“American? You are not. Take a close look at your behavior. What is the difference between you and those Asians who grew up in Chinatown and Chinese districts in Canada? Do you have a white face? Or can you have a face transplant? As long as your bloodline remains unchanged, you are a Chinese-Japanese mixed-race, Japanese-American dual citizen. Don’t expect the United States to accept you. You also know how terrible the United States’ attacks on Asians are. Join me. We could have been the pioneers of a new era.”

In short, Miss Lu Yuchi doesn’t care at all what kind of person Li Xinghe was before.

She was just cultivating a new person who would be a good helper for her political development according to her own needs. Because the status of the two families was not equal. One was the descendant of a big boss of the Liberal Democratic Party, and the other was the child of a small hereditary legal family with no experience as Minister of Justice or Attorney General.

Judging from the family situations of both parties, Lu Yuchi’s favor is actually an olive branch from a high-ranking boss. A normal person would definitely grab it eagerly.

As a member of the faction who is destined to compete for the position of prime minister, Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei invited Li Xinghe, who is of Chinese descent, to be a political secretary. The two sides cooperated to realize value in foreign and domestic affairs at a multi-dimensional level. Then Li Xinghe served her until middle age, and when she retired, Li Xinghe could inherit the constituency and run for prime minister.

But the problem is that Li Xinghe is not an ordinary person. If the United States wants to send a Japanese governor, then Li Xinghe is definitely a member of the category of governor-general’s advisor, and there is of course a class difference between him and the colonized.

Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang at an inopportune time.

“Xinghe! What did you do?” Jian Meixun asked with gritted teeth.

In front of Lu Yuchi, Li Xinghe was very cautious:

“Mom, what’s going on?”

“Look at the Internet. The Internet Monitoring Office is deleting a video of Director Mura Wen kneeling and crying in front of the Metropolitan Police Department. Did you do anything to him?”

Li Xinghe glanced around and said:

“Like we talked about that night.”

Jian Meixun on the other end of the phone fell into a long silence, and then she said with mixed feelings:

“You!…Okay, don’t reply to me next. I can only tell you to solve it as soon as possible.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Xinghe said to Miss Lu Yuchi:

“Nothing happened. My mother… called to warn me that Director Yasuichiro Murabumi had called the police and said that his wife and children were missing and suspected of being kidnapped, so she scolded me.”

Lu Yuchi was a little surprised, but quickly took out his cell phone to confirm the situation.

Japan’s online public opinion monitoring is really poor. So the video of Yasuichiro Murabumi crying can be easily found on YouTube.

I saw Yasuichiro Murafumi kneeling at the door of the Metropolitan Police Department, looking up to the sky with his mouth open and eyes closed, howling miserably.

“Where is my family?”

“Where are my family members?! Why did they disappear overnight?”

The director of a Tokyo building was howling miserably on the street, and his voice was as loud as those of the penniless gamblers at the entrance of the casino. If it is not controlled, it will probably become another popular Internet meme.

Of course, any discerning person can see that this old man is trying to gain public attention in order to find the missing people.

Miss Lu Yuchi’s face was full of curiosity:

“Why did mother blame you?”

At this time, Li Xinghe wanted to show her his relationship with the Americans, so he boasted and talked about himself:

“Ah, because I’m American. Have you ever watched American crime dramas? There are often scenes where gangsters get so angry that they dump the enemy’s entire family into a barrel and sink it into the lake. Just like Japan often talks about sinking into Tokyo Bay. I just happen to have some friends.”
