Inflated population.

It happens from time to time in the history of every country.

In ancient times, some countries would falsely report an army of 100,000 soldiers with a force of tens of thousands in order to obtain military pay allocated by the imperial court.

There are even armies that have only a few hundred people left, but they still dare to claim to be an army of tens of thousands. This is the reason for most of the tricks.

In modern times, this situation has not changed much.

From the total population of 5.8 billion announced by the United Nations, I wonder how many countries have inflated their population significantly in this regard.

Just like Japan.

In 1871, the Meiji government implemented the policy of abolishing feudal domains and establishing prefectures, dividing administrative regions into the prefectures, provinces, prefectures, and counties as well as cities, towns, villages, and special districts.

There are 47 first-level administrative regions in the country: 1 metropolitan area, 1 province, 2 prefectures and 43 counties, which are divided into cities, towns and villages.

Some remote areas and outlying islands have established prefectural administrative agencies called "branch offices." In recent years, many of them have been restructured and renamed "prefectural civic bureaus," "revitalization bureaus," etc.

The "county", which is at the same level as the city, began to become a virtual level in the 1920s, but still has functions such as address notation, wide-area administrative area boundaries, and prefectural assembly election divisions.

In terms of the evolution of the city system, in order to respond to the emergence of metropolises, the government-designated city system was established in 1956, and some affairs originally under the prefectures were transferred to government-designated cities.

"Districts" are established under cities by decree, and the county name can be omitted in address notation.

Under Japan's city system, designated cities with a population of 500,000 to 700,000 or more can apply for approval, and medium-sized cities with a population of 300,000 or more can apply for approval.

There are four levels of approval: special cities with a population of 200,000 people can apply for approval; general cities, towns, and villages with a population of 50,000 people can apply for approval.

This is where the problem lies.

If a town becomes a city, the mayor will be promoted to the mayor. Correspondingly, there will be various administrative divisions, investment promotion, tax exemptions and reductions. The operating space will be greatly improved and the benefits will be visible and tangible.

Correspondingly, if the population size of a city decreases, it may be abolished and changed into a town, or merged into the administrative district of other cities, etc.

If you want to upgrade a town to a city, but the population does not meet the requirements, what should you do? Inflate the population.

The dead people pretended not to notice, the family members collected their pensions and lived off them, the local authorities pretended not to notice, and everyone got what they needed.

What should I do if I am found to have problems by the Japanese life insurance? Ah! Sorry! It is because those useless people who depend on their parents concealed the truth that we made mistakes in our work. Please understand! Are there fewer deaths than births? It doesn't matter.

Anyway, there is no ID card system, so giving birth to a few babies out of thin air is child's play, and you can also receive birth subsidies from the higher-level administrative units, which is a sure profit.

There are no restrictions on population mobility within Japan's administrative regions. There will be no obstacles when traveling from Tokyo to Osaka. Such a household registration management system has accelerated urban mobility, but it is quite unfriendly to some economically backward cities.

In this case, the backward county governor will have to hold the city hall accountable, saying, "Asshole, why can't your city retain people? Please reflect on what stupid things you have done."

The city hall took a look and was shocked. Wow, in one of the towns, the number of newborns decreases by 100 every year. Damn, as the mayor, do you still want to do this job? With a decrease of 100 births every year, can't you think of a way to persuade them to have babies?

The mayor had a child by himself, and it was impossible for him to keep up with the outflow. What should he do? There was no other way except to make something out of nothing! So the next year, some married couples who didn't have children had children in their names, and the welfare home had a few more orphans. Perfect.

Shit! The Ministry of Health and Welfare has come down for inspection, where can we find some kids to deal with it?

Fortunately, local governments in neighboring countries such as Vietnam and North Korea sell babies for three thousand dollars each, which is very cheap. After buying them back, the town government gives some subsidies and we can get away with it.

I took a look at the information handed over by Nagano Nao.

On the surface, there seems to be no problem with these payment information, pensions, and newborn benefits, but with the tip from Nagano Nao, after careful consideration, it turns out that there is indeed a mismatch.

However, Sakurako Ikeda didn't even show the slightest bit of surprise.

"It took ten years to add only 500 people. These guys have a very high bottom line, don't they?"

"What?"

"If it were me, I would at least double his amount! Anyway, if something goes wrong, the higher-ups will help me handle it. At worst, we'll both die together."

Normally, if such a problem is discovered, the superiors would be furious and the matter should be investigated and punished accordingly.

But with responsibility comes responsibility, and with power comes duty.

Ever since becoming the president of the Kansai headquarters, Naoyo Nagano has realized how difficult it is to be a leader.

What? A section chief embezzled one million?

How could there be such a shameless scum in the company? He must be killed.

What?

This section chief is the brother of Minister Shimizu's wife? Alpaca Shimizu, don't you know how to clean up your ass? We know it's a pile of shit, but there's nothing we can do except cover it up, after all, we're all in the same group! Nagano Nao was speechless and could only take a sip of the tea on the table to calm down: "So, do you think the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare knows the truth?"

Ikeda Sakurako nodded, but then shook her head.

"What does this mean?"

“Those who know know, and those who don’t know don’t know.”

"Speaking is really an art. Ikeda, you are amazing."

"I'm just stating a fact. For something like this, they would definitely try their best to avoid being discovered. But it's impossible to say that the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare knew nothing about it. But if they were to investigate further, they would be under great pressure, so if they didn't know, then they naturally didn't know."

"So that's why Koizumi would stand up without hesitation?"

"That's right! Mr. Koizumi is one of the few politicians who deserves admiration. If there are many people in this country who can give everything for this nation, he must be one of them."

This surprised Nagano Naoio.

I thought Koizumi's messy hair was just a way for him to be approachable, but I didn't expect Ikeda to have such a high opinion of him.

What about the third child? The question was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't ask it.

After all, the third son at this time is not doing as well as he is!

"In that case, why don't we give Koizumi a hand?"

"You're not going to go by yourself, are you?"

"How is that possible? I'm not an idiot. Of course I'll let someone else do this."

"You have to think this through carefully. If ordinary people were to be discovered, they might be silenced."

"Don't worry, if the world hadn't been destroyed, this wouldn't have happened."

Tokyo District Police Office Special Service Bureau.

Its predecessor was the "Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Department" which was established on May 3, 2607 to prevent threats to the United States and US troops stationed in Japan. It is an independent investigation and surveillance agency separated from all government agencies.

After the establishment of the Yamato Republic, after multiple simplifications and mergers of the national security, police, prosecution, and internal affairs systems, the final reorganized organization was the "Tokyo Local Police Special Service Agency", which was composed of the Chief District Prosecutor, Deputy Chief District Prosecutors, and other district prosecutors.

In addition to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, there are special duty offices set up by 17 local public prosecutors' departments, including Sapporo, Kitami, Sendai, Akita, Yokohama, Chiba, Nagoya, Shizuoka, Nagano, Kyoto, and Osaka.

Each local prosecutor's office has the final prosecutorial power and final supervisory power over its own location and jurisdictional area. The powers of each prosecutor's office are parallel and their status is equal.

The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office is not only the prosecutorial and supervisory agency for the entire Tokyo area, but also the district public prosecutor's office with the highest prosecutorial and supervisory powers among the 18 district public prosecutors' offices in the country, that is, it has the status of "District Public Prosecutors General's Office".

The staff of each District Public Prosecutors' Special Duty Office is not part of the government civil service structure. Their head, the Chief of the District Public Prosecutors' Office, reports directly to the Director of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors' Special Duty Office and bears the highest responsibility.

The director of the Tokyo Local Inspection Special Service Office reports directly to the Prime Minister and President of the Yamato Republic.

But they are only responsible to him, and in accordance with the Criminal Law of the Republic of Yamato, the Police Law of the Republic of Yamato, and the National Security Law of the Republic of Yamato, they are fully and independently responsible for all work related to national security, social stability, and government supervision in the Republic of Yamato.

Its investigative authority is determined based on the objects involved and the degree of impact of the incident. The highest manifestation is that all groups and individuals within the Yamato Republic, except the president and the prime minister, must unconditionally obey all investigative actions of the local prosecutor's office. Otherwise, the local prosecutor's office can impose the highest sanctions permitted by law on them without any restrictions.

Right now.

Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

Because the team investigating the Nippon Seibo Financial corruption case was wiped out, Oko Kaibe was the only one left as the team leader of the temporary investigation team.

However, despite such a big incident, the superiors had no intention of continuing the investigation and even gave Oko Kaibu's position a cold shoulder, disbanding the crude oil team and placing it in a department responsible for other cases.

Watching her team members being wiped out as a result, Kaibe Oko was extremely angry for a while.

But the senior said something in secret, and all the anger turned into silence again.

So the senior didn’t say anything.

But Kaibu Oko was not a fool, so how could she not hear the hidden meaning?

After all, Japan is just a dog in the hands of the Americans. If Japan does not want to be bombed by the other side's missiles and if it does not want more people to die in vain, this is already the best result.

The summer is hot.

There are always sudden and sudden rainstorms in Tokyo.

After finishing a day's work, Kaibe Oko drove home, dragging her extremely tired body.

There are a lot of cars on the road, and the bright lights turn the night into day.

Watching the wipers brushing away the heavy rain falling from the sky, Kaibe Oko held the steering wheel with one hand and lit a women's cigarette.

I don’t know when it started.

Cigarettes seem to be the only sedative when I am upset.

As a police officer and then an investigator at the District Attorney's Office, she has seen the darkness and filth in the world, and she doesn't know how long she can hold on.

suddenly.

Oko Kaibe felt something was wrong.

Ever since she got off work, she felt like someone was staring at her, and now, this feeling has not gone away.

Out of professional ethics as a special search officer, Kaibu Oko looked back and could see a black Mercedes-Benz in the bright light, but she could not see the license plate clearly.

Coming for me?!

Oko Kaibe exhaled a puff of cigarette, her eyes filled with rage and hatred.

If the team members are here for the same reason, then let's go to hell together! There is a three-way intersection ahead.

There is a path leading to the port terminal.

Kaibu Oko slammed the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, drove into the side road, and sped away.

It’s no wonder he’s a policeman.

It was raining so hard and yet someone could still discover and follow me.

Nagano Nao also exhaled a puff of smoke, flicked the cigarette butt out of the window, stepped on the accelerator and followed.

It rained heavily.

The traffic on the asphalt road gradually thinned out.

Once we were out of the city, the street lights disappeared and only two cars were speeding on the road like sharp arrows.

The bright car lights illuminated the road as bright as day, and the dense raindrops reflected the white light, like hail falling from the sky, hitting the roof and windows.

Sudden.

The Toyota fan in front made a sharp braking sound, then drifted and slid in the opposite direction, and actually turned around and drove over again.

The horsepower roared wildly, with an unstoppable force.

When Nagano Nao saw that something was wrong, he honked the horn twice, signaling to Kaibe Oko to calm down.

On the opposite side, Kaibe Oko had already taken out the gun she carried with her. When she found out that the guy in the Mercedes Benz was actually Nagano Nao, it was like they were enemies meeting, and she was extremely jealous of each other.

Throw the gun to attach.

Oko Kaibe stepped on the accelerator and crashed into Naoo Nagano's Mercedes.

"Kaibu, are you crazy?" Nagano Nao lowered the car window, yelled, and turned the steering wheel desperately to dodge.

asshole!

I let you hit me! I let you rape me! I'll kill you today!

Kaibe Oko said nothing, but just gave an angry look back, with a hint of ruthlessness on her face, and stepped on the accelerator with all her might.

Through the car window, with the light.

Naoyo Nagano saw the hatred in Oko Kaibe's eyes.

Is this woman mentally ill?

He seemed to be enjoying it last time, but now he doesn't recognize me when he pulls up his pants? ! Damn! Let's just hit each other, who's afraid of whom! Nagano stepped on the accelerator and rushed several kilometers away. Kaibe Oko was so angry that she slammed the steering wheel, but there was nothing she could do.

"Nagano you bastard!"

"If you have the guts to be a man, don't run!"

hehe!

Don't you know whether you have guts or not? Nagano Nao said nothing, and as he was about to throw Kaibe Oko's shabby car away, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and turned around.

With a bang.

Kaibe Oko's car was hit hard from behind.

The horsepower of the small Mini is no match for that of the Mercedes-Benz. No matter how hard the accelerator is pressed, it cannot escape the huge power of the bison behind it.

"Nagano, do you want to die? I'll fight you."

"You wanted to bump into me, didn't you? Now you feel great!"

"You bastard!"

"Thank you! I know that myself."

Nagano Nao smiled maliciously, and seeing a small woods in front of him, he stepped on the accelerator and crashed Kaibe Oko's car directly into the depths of the woods.

With a bang.

Because of a big tree ahead, both cars temporarily lost power.

Oko Kaibe shook her unconscious head, opened the car door angrily, and was about to turn back to fight Nagano Nao.

Who would have thought.

Nagano Nao was even angrier than her.

Almost at the same time, they opened the car door and came forward with a fierce look and glaring eyes.

When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!

Before Kaibe Oko started her attack, Nagano Nao rushed over and pushed Kaibe Oko's thin body against the car body.

It was raining heavily.

The two were soaked like drowned rats in an instant.

Seeing that she was not as strong as the other person, Oko Kaibe bit Nagano Nao's arm.

With a bang.

Nagano Nao felt pain and pushed the crazy woman into the driving seat. Then he removed the handcuffs from her and handcuffed her directly to the steering wheel.

“.”

After a long time.

The two men sat side by side in the narrow cab.

Nagano lit a cigarette, picked up the gun from the passenger seat, blew a smoke ring and asked, "Oko, when did you fall in love with me?"
