The Connection Behind Chapter 123

Day 10 of the road survival game!

Upon hearing the answer, Hagiwara, Matsuda, and Morofushi all simultaneously revealed their beady eyes, then couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Heh... this is really..."

"Pfft... I'm starting to think that some people in Japan really do have mental issues!"

"Ha...cough...it's for environmental protection? Could his research reasons be any more bizarre? And the university actually approved research funding for this kind of project?"

"I don't understand Japan's research funding approval mechanism, so I don't know either!" After trying to answer seriously, Feng Xingshou couldn't help but laugh under their laughter.

I couldn't help but laugh: "Haha... Anyway, when I saw the news, I kept thinking, can someone with this kind of mentality really become a scientist? Isn't the threshold for becoming a scientist in Japan too low? But speaking of which, the threshold for electing members of parliament in Japan is indeed quite low."

I've seen this blogger play clips from the Japanese parliamentary elections during some of the videos explaining the assassination of former prime ministers. There were things like a woman running a brothel showing up at the election site to advertise her business by stripping under the guise of running for parliament.

There was this neurotic guy who stripped down to his diaper while running for office, and then publicly demonstrated how he defecated after pulling off the diaper. There was also this elderly man with completely white hair who claimed to be an inventor and ran for office, only to find out that all his inventions were actually invented by others. When the host questioned him, he insisted that those people had plagiarized his inventions…

In short, after watching these mentally polluting election clips, and then seeing those confusing election speeches later on, such as saying that if they were elected they would ban Japanese women from wearing clothes and restore the Japanese concubine system, they all seem perfectly normal...

"Cough! Kaze-chan, please stop talking. I feel so ashamed to be Japanese right now." Hearing Kaze-chan mention the candidate for parliament, she was shocked to see him running naked during the election.

Hagiwara, who always paid attention to men's clothing and style, couldn't help but show a pained expression. After hearing the rest, he felt like he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. This fellow countryman had done something seriously bizarre and disgusting in front of his sweetheart.

The shame he felt was something he had never experienced before. He used to think that everyone around him was normal! How could things have changed so much in just over ten years?

Upon hearing what Kazesei-no-Mori said, Matsuda and Morofushi simultaneously revealed pained expressions and exclaimed speechlessly, "It's that guy."

"Did he actually run for office again in 2016?"

"You know him?" Hagiwara was surprised by their reaction.

"Uh... After you and Feng-chan entered the game, and as the internet penetration rate increased, live streaming programs became popular. I watched that guy's competition once; he was wearing diapers on stage too."

I was lucky that time; he didn't take off his diaper, but he showed everyone how he pooped in his diaper and soiled it, and the host quickly asked him to leave the stage.

I was also curious about why such an oddball would participate in the election, so I looked up his information and found that he made a living by doing bizarre live streams, and liked to do some weird and disgusting things to attract viewers.

Surprisingly, he even attracted quite a few fans. After his performance in the election, his fan base quickly surpassed one million. Matsuda also felt that mentioning this person in front of Fuu-chan made him feel ashamed that there was such a person among the Japanese.

But he would make up for the four years his childhood friend missed in his own way, so when Hagi asked, even though he felt that this person had disgraced his country, he still gave Hagi a detailed answer.

.

Standing to the side, Morofushi gave a helpless, bitter smile: "I know this person in a similar way to Matsuda. I can only say that even though we are both Japanese, I still can't understand the mental state of him and his fans!"

"It feels incredibly shameful to be Japanese like this guy and his fans," Hagiwara complained, unable to hide his frustration.

Seeing his depressed expression, Feng Xingshou comforted him sympathetically, "Don't worry about it so much! Every country has people with different values ​​and qualities. Even in our country, there are some people who are hard to describe! We just need to do our own thing and not care so much about others."

"Hmm!" Looking at Feng Jiang's calm eyes, Hagiwara was slightly taken aback. After a moment, the shock and negative emotions he had felt about those rotten people and things in the future settled down. He thought, "Yeah! Just do my best."

There's no need to bear the sins of those scoundrels or find excuses for their evil deeds to justify compromising oneself. Just do your own thing, and those scoundrels should pay the price for their actions.

After figuring it out, he immediately smiled easily again, gave a soft reply, and then asked her curiously, "By the way, Feng-chan, you always refer to that former prime minister as 'former prime minister,' but you haven't told us his name yet! Do you know his name and approximate age?"

"That former prime minister? I know him! I remember his name is Tsuchimichi Yasuhiro. According to the bloggers on social media, he was a cadre in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and his father was a high-ranking official in the Japanese Ministry of Defense. He was considered a hardliner in Japan."

His campaign speeches consistently proclaimed his intention to combat domestic crime, reduce political dependence on the United States, and boost the Japanese economy. He had participated in numerous elections before his first term as prime minister, where he enjoyed considerable support from the Japanese public.

He was hailed by the Japanese media as the best candidate for future prime minister. However, just before his election, when he was close to being elected as a member of parliament and qualified to run for prime minister, and the Japanese people also had strong support for him, Japanese television exposed his father's extramarital affair scandal.

This caused his reputation to plummet. Although he was eventually elected as a member of parliament that year, he failed to win the prime ministerial election, which was his ultimate goal. It wasn't until four years later that he was re-elected. During those four years, he had worked as a member of parliament to secure some policies that were beneficial to the Japanese people.

He used his power and position to resolve many cases of Japanese bullying that even the law could not punish. In addition, his speeches during that election all emphasized that he would develop the Japanese economy and lead Japan to regain its position as the world's second largest economy.

He was successfully elected Prime Minister of Japan due to factors such as ensuring a certain percentage increase in the annual income of Japanese citizens and his background. When Hagiwara asked about this, Kazesei-no-Mori told him what he remembered.

"Tsk! Tsuchimon Yasuhiro, I remember Tsuchimon is a famous family in Japan. A thousand years ago, a family that produced high-ranking Japanese officials and even married into the Emperor's princess. It's the surname of that super-rich landowning family. His father was also a high-ranking official in the Defense Agency. No wonder he was able to be elected." Matsuda clicked his tongue in amazement.

He then sneered, "But this guy is all talk and no action. He used speeches promising to strengthen the fight against crime to sway the public, but after taking office, he turned a blind eye to crime in order to develop the economy. Is this really a Self-Defense Force officer? No wonder it was a former Self-Defense Force member who couldn't stand it."

.

"However, since his father has been involved in a scandal, shouldn't he resign according to Japanese workplace rules? Even if his father has good connections in Japanese officialdom, it's still unfair to a former official who has already lost his job."

"This Lord Tsuchimon probably doesn't have much support, right?" Hagiwara was somewhat puzzled by this, and after thinking for a moment, he simply asked Matsuda and Morofushi, "Jinpei, Morofushi, do you remember this guy? Have you seen his speeches? Do you remember the scandal involving his father?"

"I've heard of him from Zero, but I've never heard him speak in person. Zero mentioned him because of the organization's style, and there might also be the issue of the organization's headquarters that I wasn't sure about before. They keep a close eye on political changes in Japan."

According to Zero, the organization took notice of him because his remarks on fighting crime during his campaign speech were too extreme, and if he were elected, it would be very detrimental to the organization's operations in Japan.

So Zero was arranged to investigate his and his family's weaknesses, so that if his election rate increased, the weaknesses found would be used to eliminate him. You also know Zero's personality; he admires those in Japan who are preparing to enter politics for having backbone and being able to take action to protect the people.

So when they investigated him and found that he did indeed seem to be a person who kept his word, they let it slide and the organization replied that they hadn't found anything useful. "Morobu Kagemitsu did know about Tsuchimon Yasutaka."

Little did they expect that this seemingly virtuous and upright person, whose character was even acknowledged by Zero after the investigation, would cause such great harm and death to Japan in the future. If they had known, they should have used the organization to get rid of him in advance, so that the harm to Japan in the future might have been less severe.

"His father has lost power, but his wife's family is very powerful! I heard from bloggers in China that his wife's family is not only the largest capitalist family in the Kansai region of Japan, but his wife's father also served as the Japanese Prime Minister with a lot of real power."

It is said that his successful election as prime minister, and his subsequent second election after his first, was due to the full support of his father-in-law's party. This is because bloggers have mentioned many anecdotes about the prime minister's wife when explaining this matter.

When gossip is mentioned, Feng Xingshou reacts very enthusiastically, subconsciously saying to the three in a gossipy tone: "Haha... Let me tell you, this Mrs. Tumen on the social media is quite interesting."

She was repeatedly photographed by Japanese media partying with young, handsome Japanese men, drawing heart-shaped symbols, arrows, "I love you," etc. on their bodies with lipstick. After these photos were taken, reporters pressed the Prime Minister of Domon on whether his wife was having an affair.

Guess how the Prime Minister of Tsuchim responded? He said there was no infidelity, but that his wife was innocent and naive, and when faced with requests from fans, she didn't consider whether her behavior was appropriate in terms of politics, society, or Kansai; she just wholeheartedly responded to her fans.

Haha... She's almost 50, comes from a wealthy family, and her husband is both a Self-Defense Force officer and a prime minister, yet she still maintains such an innocent and carefree personality that she doesn't even realize she's flirting with men?
