Chapter 1476: Fatten the Pigs and Kill Them (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

After the attack.

At the Chang'an Security Bureau, the red warning light began flashing.

Inside the gate of the Security Bureau, there is a notice board indicating today's anti-terrorism alert level. There are four levels in total: green, blue, orange, and red.

Today, unlike usual at this time, the difference is that it is the highest red alert.

In the lobby, female secretaries were walking back and forth with boxes of documents in their arms, their high heels clacking on the marble floor. There was a sense of tension in the air. Security agents in plain clothes were discussing the terrorist attack in a low voice.

"Damn it, I knew it!"

A man's angry voice came from the room:

"I knew there would be an attack like this, ever since they first set fire to our factory."

The man said in annoyance:
"I said, I reminded you, we need to increase the security level..."

As the man was venting his inner dissatisfaction in frustration, the phone suddenly rang. Soon, the man who answered the call left the office and went straight to the elevator.

A few minutes later, he entered the director's office.

Ding En looked at the senior agent in front of him, Zhou Jingran, and asked:
"You were the one who submitted the terrorist threat report last year."

"Yes, Chief, all this could have been avoided!"

"I know, but the incident has already happened. I need someone to go to the scene to investigate. Are you willing to go?"

Zhou Jingran said quickly:
"I think so too. We must go to the scene to find out what happened and who attacked us. Only in this way can we stop him before the next attack happens."

"Yes, you are right."

Ding En nodded, and Zhou Jingran asked again:
"When will I leave?"

"Now, you will have two assistants to work with you."

Ding En waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead and dig out the people who attacked us! Then kill them!"

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is their style, and this has never changed.

……

This was not the first such attack, but it was definitely the deadliest.

373 people were killed or injured, including 237 deaths.

Among the dead and injured, there were two staff members of the representative office, in addition to a Marine from the representative office escort team, and 37 others were injured.

In fact, when the terrorist attack occurred, in addition to the casualties caused by the shattered glass fragments caused by the shock wave of the explosion, although they killed all the Japanese by shooting and throwing grenades in the hall, because the staff basically worked by the windows and the brick walls of the windows served as shelters, most of them escaped. As for the staff in the hall, they were local employees.

Despite this, the casualties were still heavy.

In the end what happened?
Everyone is asking!
When a terrorist attack occurs, people's first reaction is disbelief, then shock, and then confusion.

What kind of hatred drives them to do this?
An organization soon claimed responsibility for the incident.

"…This attack was intended not only to prevent the traitors from escaping Japan, but also to send a message to Chang'an - the era of your wanton exploitation of Asia is over, and now the awakened Asian people will respond to your exploitation with all the means available…"

In the office of the official residence, Li Yian was listening to the report and looking at the files in his hands. He inexplicably became a victim of terrorist activities.

This is simply...normal!

Unlike other people who were nervous after encountering terrorist attacks, Li Yian thought it was normal. After all, it was around this time that terrorist attacks emerged one after another, and terrorist activities became increasingly frequent, spreading to Western Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and South Asia. The historical trajectory of these terrorist organizations, even if they were supported by financial sponsors, also had training bases and shelters. Among them, there were both Western left-wing organizations and those from the Middle East, such as Palestine.

In a word, in the next decade or so, few countries in the world will be able to escape this, especially the big countries. It would be strange if a place like ours, which promotes imperialist power, did not suffer an attack.

"What kind of organization is this "Free Asia"? Who are its members?"

In response to your question, Ding En replied:
"We have no intelligence on this at the moment, but their first public appearance was the attack on the factory last year. At that time, we ignored their threat and thought they were just a group of xenophobic elements. We didn't expect them to take such extreme actions."

This is normal. No one would associate them with terrorists just because of a few arsons. If that were the case, the Security Bureau would not have to handle other cases.

"Our people have gone to Japan and I believe they will get the results soon."

"Ah."

Nodding, Li Yian said:

"Very good, find those people and get rid of them."

Now that the incident has happened, the next question is how to solve this problem. Of course, there is another question, which is how to profit from it.

Profit from it!

Li Yian stood up and paced back and forth, thinking. At this time, Li Guoren said:
"Sir, the Japanese ambassador has apologized to us and promised to track down the murderer and give us an explanation." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yian sneered:

"Apology? What's the point of apology? Can the dead be resurrected? They think that just bowing is enough for everything, right?"

Just bow and it's all, just forgive and it's all, are there such simple things in this world?
Although most of the 239 casualties in the attack were Japanese, only two staff members of the representative office died and six were injured.

But...Japan must pay the price.

"Yes, sir, I think this is a great opportunity!"

Zhang Zheyuan on the side said:
“An opportunity to force Japan to make a full opening.”

Li Yian looked at him and said:
"Oh? Tell me?"

"Sir, I think this incident is not an isolated one. In fact, it is the inevitable product of Japan's xenophobic thinking. Japan's current economic controls and fixed exchange rates are essentially an act of rejecting the market economy. This behavior will inevitably lead to xenophobia in Japan, especially hostility towards us..."

is this real?
If it is true, why do so many Japanese come here? So many Japanese see Chang'an as an opportunity to change their destiny.

There is some truth and some falsehood in these words.

It is inevitable that there are extremists in any country.

However, this is not important. What is important is that you can use this as an excuse to ask the other party to make concessions.

“So, we ask for market-oriented reform of its economy and liberalization of the yen exchange rate. Your Excellency, I think this is the most important thing.”

When talking about the open exchange rate, Zhang Zheyuan's mouth corners slightly raised and a slight smile appeared on his face. When looking at you, he felt that you would definitely praise him. After all, this is in line with your idea - to keep Japan poor!
"Um……"

Li Yian nodded and said:
"That's a good thing to do. It would further undermine Japan's economic development by opening up its exchange rate and allowing it to fully open up its markets and adopt a free economy."

Why does liberal economics undermine economic development? Because for backward countries, certain market controls are beneficial to economic development.

In fact, in another world, Japan's economic rise is directly related to its industrial policy. Japan, which seems to be promoting a market economy, is actually implementing a controlled economy of the government and conglomerates. The same is true in South Korea.

Of course, they also have excellent economic professional bureaucratic teams. Relying on the first-class professional bureaucratic teams to formulate industrial policies, coupled with the industry monopoly of the chaebols, they promoted economic development through state subsidies and other means.

The most important thing in this process is the fixed exchange rate. The implementation of the fixed exchange rate not only avoids the fluctuation of the yen exchange rate, but also, together with the foreign exchange control, actually creates a protective circle for Japan's fragile economy.

With this protective circle, they can develop the economy calmly without having to worry about foreign financial capital wielding its scythe.

In fact, the most important point of the Plaza Accord was to allow Japan to abolish exchange rate controls and implement a floating exchange rate.

When Japan opened up its financial markets, it became a fat sheep in the eyes of American financial capitalists.

That is the time for the United States to reap Japan's wealth.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the suggestion put forward by Zhang Zeyuan is very much in line with Li Yian's thoughts.

Let Japan remain impoverished and turn it into a field of leeks to be harvested continuously.

But this is just theory.

"What is Japan's gross national product now?"

Li Yian asked back:

"There are only over 10 billion US dollars in such an extremely poor country. Even if we go there to harvest now, what can we harvest?"

Your question stunned Zhang Zeyuan. He did not expect you to ask this question.

While he was stunned, Li Guoren said from the side.

"When the pigs are fat, they are kept for the New Year. When the pigs are not fat, it is better to keep them for a while."

Nodding, Li Yian said:

"As for the pig, let's raise it for a while first. This pig is too thin right now. Even if you want to eat meat, there won't be much meat. Let's wait a little longer, but..."

After a brief pause, Li Yian said:
"Since the incident has already happened, we must seize this incident to do something. If we want to kill the pig and eat the meat, we must always make some arrangements in advance. Well, Zheyuan, your suggestion is also correct. We need to use this incident to make Japan open up its market. Of course, we can reach an agreement with them, such as a slow opening over 10 or 15 years. By that time, the Japanese pig will be almost fattened."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guoren echoed him.

"Haha, Your Excellency is indeed Your Excellency. This way, the Japanese pig will have time to fatten itself, and we can kill it and eat its meat while it's fattened. That's smart, really smart."

Li Yian said, waving his hand casually.

"Okay, this question is not the most important. The most important thing right now is to find this organization. No matter who they are, we have to find them and then get rid of them."

Li Yian got to the point and looked at Ding En and asked.

"Now, has the murderer been identified?"
