Reborn with Hokage Kobe, Japan

Chapter 71: Turbulence in Japanese politics

"What time is it?"

Chi Sato put the tea cup aside, and sitting next to him was his beautiful fiancée Satomi Ishihara.

Now Sato Chi has become accustomed to Ishihara Susumu's identity, and has become even more comfortable playing the role of this noble son from a wealthy Japanese family.During the recent period, Chi Sato was secretly wooing the members of the Tokyo Assembly while making plans, but what he did not expect was that the contemporary prime minister could not even hold on to the parliamentary election six months later. He announced at 14:22 yesterday afternoon that Resigned due to health reasons.

The Prime Minister's tenure from assuming the post to resigning did not even last more than a year.

"It should be four days later. The House of Representatives has made preparations in advance, but it will take some time before it is announced."

"Deliberately concealing it to delay time?"

"This is the current political situation in Japan. In a few days, the election for the president of the Liberal Democratic Party will begin. By then, Uncle Ishida should be able to successfully assume the position of president, and then he will be eligible to run for the position of prime minister. It's a pity, I originally thought That person can hold on for a while longer, giving us more time to make arrangements... Heh, we do overestimate his ability."

With elegant actions and virtuous appearance, Ishihara Satomi is as beautiful as a holy lily in a white dress and a long hat with white lace.But it is a pity that women who participate in politics and dream of getting ahead in it are destined to miss "purity" and "kindness", not to mention the careerist next to her who is determined to become Japan's second female defense chief after Yuriko.

"Originally, he was a target launched by the former prime minister to get rid of the mess. He wanted to continue to be re-elected. Unfortunately, no one would join a ship that was destined to sink halfway. Moreover, his ability to govern was not very good. Both domestic security and foreign diplomacy were poor. It’s a complete mess, and the head of a country who can bend to that extent to that foreign minister is really like a dog with its spine broken.”

"That's why the young faction within the Liberal Democratic Party can't wait for him to step down. When the incident first broke out, they almost staged a classic song of defeat, but that time it was thanks to Grandpa Ishida's intervention that they suppressed him, right? Now he is being suppressed by his own people Digging roots and digging holes was also a hidden danger buried at that time.”

Click, the pure white glass was placed on the table.

Standing on the lawn with her long legs, the sun shone on Ishihara Satomi's bright smile.

"It's not surprising that his ship has sunk now, but no one would have thought that he would surrender directly in such a disgrace. And now the young faction within the Liberal Democratic Party can't wait to elect Grandpa to power Japan, at most this Thursday (week) [-]) My uncle will become the leader of the party, and the House of Representatives election will be held in less than a month. The person the Democratic Party will introduce to the competition should be Hayakawa Kigami. He is an old fox in politics and very troublesome."

"Our Liberal Democratic Party has 215 seats in the House of Representatives, and the Democratic Party has 204. The remaining seats (total about 500) occupied by other parties are not obvious. We have to be careful that some members may temporarily defect. Other than that, it is domestic. The secret financial support of large companies (such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) is also a big problem."

"In the next three days, I will continue to meet and talk with the business representatives below to try to win them to support us in the general election. And you... my fiancé, now that you have entered the council chamber, it is time to shine. You have influenced that group of young congressmen who are prone to being hot-headed. Use your excellent social skills, I am very optimistic about you."

The Japanese general election is based on the number of seats in the House of Representatives to determine which party wins. The leader of the winning party is the next Prime Minister of Japan.However, in Japan, political elections and business giants are inseparable. The institutional problems in Japanese society are relatively abnormal. Once every employee joins a large company, he may work until he retires, which also leads to the lifelong interests of employees and Clubs are bound.

Therefore, every large enterprise in Japan basically belongs to a fixed ticket warehouse. Not to mention established enterprises such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Honda Industrial, and Kobe Heavy Industries, even Japan's Two-dimensional Shueisha, Nintendo in the gaming industry, etc. They are all super vote warehouses holding tens of thousands or even 10,000+ votes.These votes cannot directly interfere with the election of the House of Representatives, but they are equivalent to a lifeline for every member participating in politics.

Members need votes to be elected, and the best way to be elected is to reach cooperation agreements with certain companies.

So every time a problem breaks out in a company in Japan, you will always hear that the matter involves Congressman xxx, and the Congressman bowed and apologized at a press conference, etc... This is an old tradition that business and government are bound to communicate with each other. Got it!

When Japan holds an election, it is not only a game between politicians, but also a naked fight between parties.The undercurrent behind the fighting is that it is time for various companies to start placing bets. Often at this time, those who have a large amount of money will affect the "beep--", eventually leading to disputes among the MPs between the parties. "Beep——" thing. (I’ll see you block it again!)

In fact, in the final analysis, Japan's political elections are similar to those in the United States, but Americans are too naked and don't even bother to hide. Japan is the same, but there is still a fig leaf that has not been torn off.In addition, the smart thing is that large companies often do not choose to make unilateral bets. However, in recent years, the Liberal Democratic Party has almost formed a monopoly as the Prime Minister of Japan. If nothing goes wrong, the Prime Minister of Japan should still be defeated by the Liberal Democratic Party.

But the outside world's opinion is the outside world after all, and internal party members are still very nervous about this election.

For example, this is the case with the Ishida family that is at the center of the storm. Not only does almost the entire family go out to win votes, but even the eldest young master and young mistress of the family have to go around to win over the politicians and wealthy businessmen in exchange for their Ishida family's power in Japan. chips.

The reason why they are so nervous is that the Democratic Party's reputation has been growing in recent years, but in fact they have made little progress.The main reason is that the Liberal Democratic Party has had two consecutive XX prime ministers, and its favorability in the hearts of the people has almost disappeared. The scandals exposed by the previous prime minister are enough to drink a pot. As a result, the current Olympics incident has directly affected the Liberal Democratic Party's rating in the hearts of the people. linear decrease.

How should I put it? Although the Democratic Party is also very bad, its psychological position among the people has improved a lot because it has not been able to come to power in recent years.

On the other hand, the Liberal Democratic Party has been at the center of the storm in recent years. Whenever there is any trouble, the Liberal Democratic Party is the first to be criticized.So what is this wave?In this wave, even though I am terrible, I can only get ahead by relying on my opponent to be even worse.

On the other hand, the old man of the Ishihara family is 70 years old this year. If he is over 72, he is not eligible to run.An interesting piece of trivia is that the age limit for becoming a member of parliament is 25 years old. Theoretically, if you are good enough, you may even become the Prime Minister of Japan before the age of 30. In addition, the Prime Minister of Japan can theoretically be extended indefinitely, as long as You can survive elections every four years and even work from age 4 to 30.

But it is a pity that except for the former Prime Minister of Japan who broke the curse of changing Japan's Prime Minister every year, no one else seems to be immune.Of course, it is unknown whether this behind the scenes has anything to do with the United States.

"When the Prime Minister's resignation ceremony is held in the House of Representatives in a few days, all members of the House of Representatives will attend. You should also show your face then."

Ishihara Satomi said something incredible in a plain tone.Going to the House of Representatives as a small Council Counselor (supplementary) of Chigen Sato?It feels no different from prefecture-level county cadres going to the Forbidden City to attend a caucus meeting. It is simply ridiculous.

Seemingly anticipating the inappropriateness of this, Satomi Ishihara added: "Of course it's not as your current status. When the House of Representatives holds an election, some people are needed to maintain the order and safety of the venue. You do it in the name of logistics support." Get in there and everything else is taken care of.”

"I know." Sato Chi looked at his fiancée in amazement. Sometimes he really couldn't tell whether he was taking the lead, or whether his fiancée, who was equally ambitious and capable, was taking the lead in the future layout of the Ishida family.She is smart, beautiful, and at the same time very skillful. The most important thing is that she will never give up when she recognizes her goal. She is somewhat similar to her younger sister Megumi Sato.

Sato Qian nodded and agreed without much thought.
