Chapter 189 Making Dumplings
"We must maintain a constructive and stable relationship. Asia is Asia for Asians and should not be interfered with by other forces."

Kishida came to the place of death he chose for himself, the seaside of Hiroshima Port in Minami-ku, Hiroshima Prefecture, and gave a street speech to the public about recent controversial content.

"We will do everything in our power to promote high-level dialogue and strive to engage in close communication."

Street speeches are a tradition of Japan's top leaders, but not Kishida's. Because of Kishida's political family, every step he takes is exceptionally smooth, so he does not need to rely on street speeches to gain public support like some grassroots politicians.

In the Japanese national character, if your father is a congressman elected from this area, then it is only natural for them to continue to elect you. No one would think whether this is a kind of appointment, and no one would think that this is wrong.

Therefore, Kishida rarely gives street speeches. He only gives street speeches during crucial elections when he is helping with campaigning or personally taking part in the election.

This street speech was broadcast live by TV Asahi.

"The relationship between China and Japan is stagnant, but China is our neighbor and our largest trading partner. We are inseparable."

"We hope to promote a constructive and stable relationship through the efforts of both sides, which is also the consistent policy of Japan."

Before he could finish his words, there was a gunshot, and Kishida was shot dead in front of many amateur actors, just like on a movie set.

After hearing the gunshots, Kishida's mind flashed back to his past days in Hiroshima Prefecture. His political career began in the 1st District of Hiroshima Prefecture because this was the birthplace of his father, Fumu Kishida. People here naturally recognized their family and would vote for him.

He was elected without a doubt in his first election without any disturbance. Even though Hiroshima District 1 included Minami-ku, Higashi-ku, Naka-ku, Fuchu-cho, Kaita-cho and Saka-cho, and included both the core area and suburbs of Hiroshima, no one could be his opponent.

Everything had gone smoothly in the past and he had never experienced any setbacks. Kishida did not want to die, but this was not a choice he could make.

After making this sacrifice, his son will naturally return to Hiroshima District 1 to run for House of Representatives. This is the promise of the local forces in Japan and also the rules of the political game.

Even if America exposed everything he had done, his son would continue to serve as a congressman.

All kinds of memories of the past came flooding back to his mind, and Kishida's last thought was why the hell there was such a thing as street speeches.

No one in Japan cares about street speeches. Young people don't care, and old people don't care either. Except for the radical protesters holding signs, no one cares which big shot is giving the speech.

However, radical protesters are risky and cannot be allowed in. In order to maintain the appearance that people are watching, otherwise where would the big shots put their faces? So we have to hire actors.

And only the elderly people who do odd jobs take this kind of work.

Because of their old age, no one was able to react when they heard the gunshots and saw Kishida fall to the ground.

"Is the Prime Minister dead?"

“I think it’s probably more interesting than giving a speech.”

"What a good person, he died just like that."

"Aren't all these politicians the same?"

"No, he pays more than other politicians."

"That's a pity indeed."

The professional actors in the audience were whispering.

The security guard next to the stage looked very experienced. After all, they had experienced a similar incident not long ago. Everyone had experience and they had practiced for this kind of sudden shooting incident countless times.

The Sakura girl who was doing a live broadcast on TV Asahi said in a trembling but excited voice:

"Another shooting occurred at the Prime Minister's street speech. The attacker succeeded and caused the Prime Minister to fall to the ground."

Hey, why do you say again?
Maybe she was used to it, her first reaction was that a big event could save the dismal ratings of such a boring show.

No one cares whether the prime minister lives or dies. Can the prime minister save the economy? Obviously not.

Neon's economic situation is far worse than before.

The consequences of the application of perovskite batteries are devastating. Oil cars could have survived for a few more years, and Japan's automobile industry may not be able to survive until the day when hydrogen energy technology matures.

However, the large-scale application of perovskite batteries has directly forced Japanese car companies, which originally did not want to get involved in new energy vehicles, to enter this field.

Otherwise, their market will be completely taken over by Chinese car companies and Volkswagen.

You should know that Volkswagen has plunged into the new energy track without hesitation, and the Volkswagen new ID series equipped with perovskite batteries has become a hit in Europe.

As a result, the economic deterioration of Japan was far more than just the actresses of the Takarazuka Revue leaving the entertainment industry.

In such a depressed economy, the bigwigs still want to make trouble. Anyone with a little common sense will be disgusted by what Kishida is doing.

The female host did not feel any regret at all for Kishida being shot.

NHK, Asahi, Neon, TBS, Fuji and other TV stations quickly broadcast the breaking news of Kishida being shot:
"Influenced by China's new technology, Kishida suddenly made a 360-degree turn and talked about establishing good relations with China in a street speech in Hiroshima Prefecture. He was suddenly shot during the speech."

Only TV Tokyo was still broadcasting food shows, as if nothing had happened.

But from a certain perspective, Kishida's death is almost like nothing happened. Tokyo TV just got ahead of everyone else.

When the people in Washington received the news, they realized that this was obviously a show directed and performed by Japan itself.

In particular, the content of Kishida's street speech before his death was a 360-degree turn from his previous statements.

"How dare Neon?"

"Of course they dare. If they don't want to end up like this, they have no choice but to evade the war in this unique Neon way."

"Kishida's speech was obviously intended to shift the blame to us. As soon as he showed any sign of wanting to reestablish friendship with China, we sent people to kill him.

Are they trying to stir up public opinion in this way and stop us?"

"It seems like this, all kinds of coincidences can make us very passive.

Kishida is giving us a hard time.”

"Haha, Neon is thinking too simply. Can one person's death change anything?"

Washington thinks Tokyo is thinking too simply.

But Washington’s current No. 2 doesn’t think it’s that simple. The consequences have been made very clear in his conversation with Kishida, but Kishida still chose death.

This shows that there is a force behind this that scares him more than the Federation.

The place of death chosen by Kishida is also full of fate. It starts here and ends here.

So he felt that things were not that simple.

The result was just as he expected.

Over the next month, Neon staged an unprecedented show.

When the Prime Minister falls, he will be replaced by a designated Secretary of State.

"Is Kishida-kun gone?"

"gone."

"Then it's my turn." The Secretary of State died in a secret room, hanged, not committing suicide.

Then another state minister drowned in a private swimming pool in Chiyoda.

The last Secretary of State who succeeded him was poisoned to death during a meeting of Parliament.

In just one month, half of the cabinet died, and a reorganization was announced directly. During the period before the reorganization, the entire Japanese government was completely shut down.

Washington was so angry for a while that Japan started to play the same game as India, adopting non-violent non-cooperation and simply giving up.

They had no idea what to do when faced with such a flat posture.

So many people have died, what else do you want?

At one point, the Japanese people also smelled something and realized that these ministers were making sacrifices to prevent Japan from falling into the same situation as Ukraine and becoming a front line of a wrestling match.

Under such public opinion, no one cares about the murderer, and the next generation of parliamentary elections for these guys cannot be more certain.

Although the "politicians" in Japan have stopped working, the "bureaucrats" have not stopped.

The Japanese system is divided into "politicians" and "bureaucrats"

Bureaucrats are elected by taking the civil service examination and generally work for their entire lives, whereas politicians are elected through elections and cannot be elected without connections and relationships, so they are replaced one after another.

The politicians' shutdown does not affect the operation of Neon at all.

The Japanese bureaucrats began to take the opportunity to launch a funeral diplomacy. With so many bigwigs dead, they had to hold a grand funeral. In the process, they said, "We have already laid down, don't bother us."

This scared 4v to a certain extent. He was roaring before, but now he is as quiet as a chicken and dare not make any sound at all.

For China, the crisis has been resolved. Neon is in this state, and the Federation cannot find anyone to put pressure on it even if it wants to.

You can't just take over the Japanese army and start a war, right? That would be the same as you personally taking part in the war.

The Federation was also disgusted by Japan's move and had to release the black material of these people, but it was of no use and did not even cause a splash.

Because of the rigid internal mechanism of Japan, these explosive contents were naturally blocked and never spread at all.

To some extent, the intensity and breadth of the dissemination of these negative materials on Chinese social media far exceeds that on Japanese social media.

Even though the most popular social media in Neon is the federal Twitter, it’s useless.

"Neon is, in some ways, as wonderful a flower as India," Lin Jia complained.

Lin Jia has been busy with the acquisition of Lotus Cars recently. Lotus has too much capital behind it, and after learning that Guangjia Technology is going to join forces with Musk to acquire it, it doesn't want to let go.

They all expressed their willingness to sell their shares to you, but you have to leave some for me and take me out to play.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that if Guangjia Technology and Tesla succeed in the acquisition as shareholders, Lotus' future will be limitless. Chen Yuanguang and Musk working together to build cars will be a much bigger gimmick than Lei Jun's.

And this fame is global.

Therefore, the negotiations were particularly difficult.

After Lei Jun found out, Xiaomi also wanted to get involved and participate in this round of capital operations.

The whole thing got complicated.

Lin Jia still visits Chen Yuanguang once every one to two weeks.

Chen Yuanguang knew what the other party was talking about. "I think this is also a method, and it has indeed achieved the goal they wanted to achieve in the beginning."

"This is a bit too extreme," Lin Jia said, "but Neon finally got a little creative this time.

It's no longer about suicide, but a variety of performances, which is also a large-scale performance art.

I don’t know how many people are involved.”

“At this critical moment, everyone wants to leave the court later, and no one wants to be cannon fodder.

Being able to use such a small number of lives to escape the fate of being cannon fodder is already a good deal," said Chen Yuanguang.

Lin Jia said: "That's right, it's really wonderful, there is a lot of content to watch on major social media every day.

Various analyses have emerged one after another, and many people have brought up the reactions on Japanese social media.

The most mainstream comment was that I used to think these politicians were just performing artists who were just there to make a living, but I didn’t expect them to be useful and to be cannon fodder for the country.”

"Yes, the Japanese are really good at forbearance. They would rather die than rebel against their father.

This is another kind of fatherly love and filial piety.”

“So recently Wall Street has been retaliating like crazy, and the yen is about to break through the 200 mark against the dollar. It seems that the 200 mark cannot be maintained.

I feel like Wall Street wants to get back on track economically because they can’t get what they want politically.”

"Neon won't resist?"

"Of course not. They only dare to resist such demands secretly, let alone take any action in the economic field.

Some netizens said that Neon is waiting for the results of S3 to come out and then join the team.

Some people also say that after Japan learned this trick and found it effective, no one dared to go to the cabinet anymore. Once they went, they would just wait to be used as a scapegoat and die heroically.

No one can bear it.

It is said that this year's election in Japan is the quietest ever, and people from all walks of life have never been so humble. "

It's true. If it were before, all kinds of canvassing campaigns would have already started, but because of the early general election caused by the bankruptcy of the cabinet, no one was promoting it at all, and even who would run for the election hasn't been chosen yet.

This is the first time in history.

The former cabinet members who had been eyeing the cabinet covetously before now seem to be cultivating themselves, as if they had never coveted it before.

"Haha, isn't this a bit of a joke from hell?" Chen Yuanguang seemed very happy.

Lin Jia said, “No, this is a Neon joke.

There are a lot of jokes like this online recently, saying that if the foreplay of S3 lasted a little longer, Japan wouldn’t have the problem of political families, because they would have committed suicide one by one.”

Lin Jia went on to say: “Of course, the most popular content on Chinese social media is still thanking you.

They said that you scared four Japanese prime ministers to death by yourself, and that this was an unprecedented achievement. "

Chen Yuanguang waved his hand and said, "I should have only played the role of a catalyst. The real force is still Japan itself. I don't want to be involved in this struggle and become cannon fodder.

I’m not as good as netizens say.”

The discussions on Chinese social media go far beyond what Lin Jia mentioned.
