Invincible urban management

"...Let me say, Kamijou-san, even though such a shocking change has gone through, nothing in this country seems to have changed!"

In a luxurious ward of a private hospital in Tokyo, Kamijo Kekatsu and Izumita Junzaburo, each wrapped in gauze and bandages, were lying on the hospital bed. They were watching TV while eating apple slices carefully cut into bunny shapes by a nurse with a toothpick. The news program played in the TV, while chatting casually. [ . ]

——During the military disaster at the "Shiyuxuan" restaurant in Akasaka, they happened to be blasted into the small box by an RPG rocket.

Although Kamijou Jingsheng and Quanta Junzaburo dodged in time, and the low-quality rockets processed by this small workshop were not very powerful in terms of power, they were still injured-Kamijo Kamijou suffered a broken leg and a mild brain injury. Concussion; although Junsaburo Izumita didn't have a broken bone, his skin was burned extensively all over his body, and his lungs were also seriously damaged by inhaling a large amount of hot smoke and dust.

Today, with the resignation of the Kotori cabinet, Junzaburo Quanta is no longer the chief cabinet secretary, but at least until the next election, he is still a member of the National Assembly, so he still maintains a much more streamlined secretary and staff team , dealing with a lot of political affairs every day. As for Governor Kamijo Katsuto, he did not have the slightest intention of "resigning due to a work-related injury", but was determined to occupy this position to the end.

Therefore, since they were admitted to the hospital for treatment, the two have turned the ward into an office, and there are all kinds of people waiting for it from morning to night every day.

Finally, under the strong protest of the doctor.They finally changed their way of working a little bit - each of them has a laptop, put it on the foldable low table of the hospital bed, and use video chat to communicate with the secretary and subordinates... Basically, there is no need to worry about confidentiality issues, anyway. In their current situation, they can't do any conspiracy and tricks, they can only know some public or semi-public information.

At this time, the two were lying in the same sunny ward.While enjoying the rare leisure, while discussing the current national situation.

"...Tokyo's stock market has completely collapsed, and real estate in the Kanto region has plunged again. The national debt crisis can't be dragged on for a few days. The nuclear radiation intensity in downtown Tokyo is still about [-] times the normal standard, but TV The news still only focuses on newly debuted singers and idols. There are also the latest masterpieces of popular cartoonists, as well as gossip about movie stars and sports stars... Even whitewashing the peace is too much!"

Wrapped in bandages, Junzaburo Izumita, who looked like an Egyptian mummy, raised his head to look at the LCD TV hanging in the corner of the ceiling for a while, while staring down at the laptop in his hand, he still did not forget to complain to Governor Kamijo Kekatsu , "...the pro-American faction has stepped down, and the anti-American faction has taken power, but the overall policy of domestic and foreign affairs does not seem to have changed significantly—Ri is still that Ri..."

"...Hehe. Isn't this the most normal appearance of our own country? It is the so-called solidified society!"

Governor Kamijo Jingkatsu, who had a plaster cast on his leg and was suspended high by a stainless steel bracket, pulled out a toothpick from his mouth and inserted it into the last piece of rabbit-shaped apple on the plate on the bedside table, while sighing and sighing. "...the whole society looks weird and colorful, with new and eye-catching changes every day; in fact, it is as conservative as an ancient castle, where every stone is in a fixed position, stubbornly resisting any slightest change. The substantive change of the society is only willing to make some meaningless superficial articles - the son of a banker is still a banker, the son of a doctor is still a doctor, and the son of a clerk is still a clerk. The more the real upper class, The more this layer remains the same.”

Junzaburo Quanta narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a while about the old friend's harsh words, but in the end he could only nod his head, silently expressing his acquiescence.

——As the basic common sense in the Japanese political circle, almost every Japanese politician is very clear that the family clan system inherited from the Meiji era, the Edo era, and even the Heian era to the present is like a pervasive invisible network that has already penetrated the entire every corner of the country.Even the brutal Pacific War and the occupation and control of the US military stationed in Japan failed to completely tear this strong web of power.

Politicians like them who are very glamorous on the front stage are just agents hired by these big capitalists in the final analysis.But the ubiquitous aristocratic family who is hidden behind the scenes is the real master of the source of power.Just like this time recently, the Americans, who thought they had completely controlled Japan long ago, wanted to completely destroy this network and plunder all the family businesses of Japan's elites, so they encountered such an incredible and fierce counterattack ——Of course, if the U.S. military really became angry and reoccupied Japan, these elites would have nothing to do.

Fortunately, under the threat of Japan's death, the Americans, who also suffered from internal and external troubles, did not take the final step after all.

However, even so, it can be seen how powerful the Japanese family has in the country.

If possible, Junsaburo Quanta also hopes to become a member of a powerful family and squeeze into the real core circle of power, instead of being a marionette in the political circle who looks cool and unrestrained like he is now... ...But the problem is that the big families in Japan generally intermarry and hereditary from generation to generation. The whole small circle is very closed, and it is not much more open than India's caste system-if there is no great opportunity, outsiders will basically It's absolutely impossible to squeeze in.

In fact, there are similar top-level small circles in the United States, India, and the United Kingdom, but none of them has a long history like the Japanese one.

Therefore, the "second echelon" families who are excluded from this inner circle but have certain influence usually have to enter the political circle to act as agents and work for these chaebols.Then, using the power and position gained in the political world, he kept looking for opportunities, saw every stitch, and slowly infiltrated into the core circle behind the scenes, and finally made his family join these top chaebols.

In the early post-war period in Japan.This is indeed a glorious road to the pinnacle of power.But now that the economy has been in recession for a long time, the country's resources are shrinking, and the social class is becoming more and more solidified, the probability of a second-rate family being able to succeed becomes smaller and smaller, even close to zero.

--------------------------------

To put it bluntly, Japan after the collapse of the bubble economy.It is not without talents and elites, nor is it without good leaders with sufficient vision.But the problem is that Japan's system itself has problems.Although this system once created "Japanese speed" and "Japanese miracle" after the war, none of them could conceal its inherent deficiencies.It happens to be in the increasingly solidified Japanese society.There is no power that can break through this system.

Therefore, faced with the bleak reality of hopelessness, Kamijo and Junzaburo Izumita lamented that they were "born in the wrong era" unwillingly.I can only continue to work like those "poor and busy people" and focus on some more realistic things.

"... Kamijou-kun, almost all the kiosks in Akasaka have been burned down this time! Has the Tokyo Metropolitan Government set up a reconstruction schedule for it?"

Junsaburo Quanta casually mentioned it seemingly casually, "... I wonder if we can go to Akasaka to find a restaurant for a celebration party when we are discharged from the hospital?"

"...Go to Akasaka to drink and celebrate when you are discharged from the hospital? You should save yourself! Don't dream!" Kamijou Jingsheng denied it bluntly, "...I am so angry when I talk about the reconstruction of Akasaka Town ——Tokyo Metropolitan Government actually formulated a three-year plan for me!"

"...What? The reconstruction of Akasaka Town will take three years? Are you kidding me?"

Junsaburo Quanta was surprised when he heard it, "...this is not a remote country, but in Tokyo, the capital of the country! It's only a few blocks away from the government office! Don't you want the congressmen to go out as soon as they come out? Do you see a pile of ruins in the National Assembly Hall?"

"...Is there any way? According to relevant experts, it takes three years to rebuild Akasaka Town. It is already the fastest speed under the most ideal state!" Governor Kamijou Jingkatsu shrugged his shoulders with a bitter face . "...Before starting the reconstruction of Akasaka Town, the ruins must be cleared first. In order to prevent damage to the remains of the deceased, large-scale engineering equipment cannot be used, and manpower and handwork can only be used. This will take at least half a year! What's more terrible is that there are still many unexploded bombs in the middle of these ruins - Chinese products are so unreliable, watermelons, mobile phones and TVs that should not explode will explode, but missiles that should explode will not explode - How many casualties there will be during the bomb disposal process is hard to say right now!

After the ruins of Akasaka are cleaned up, prayers and purification will be performed on the land.Let the dead go on the road with peace of mind, so as not to become residents after the earth-bound spirits and resentful spirits disturb the day.But this time thousands of people died all of a sudden, and there are only so many monks, witches, and priests who have passed the professional qualification examination and can preside over salvation according to law, and they can't work overtime or neglect other businesses. Two or three months is about the same.

Then there is the land expropriation procedure. If the original owner is alive or has a clear heir, it is easy to handle. At most, it is just arguing about the land price.If the landlord is dead and no one inherits it, then a series of extremely complicated legal procedures must be passed to prove that the land has no one to inherit it before it can be nationalized.The most frightening thing is that certain lands are involved in inheritance dispute lawsuits-according to the usual practice, such lawsuits are common even for four or five years in a row... In short, if the land acquisition work can be completely resolved within one year, it can be called ri A miracle in modern history.

Next, there are planning, design, and finalization of houses, streets, and garden facilities, bidding for builders, and supervision during the construction process... The most terrible thing is, where should this huge reconstruction fund be raised is also a question. Difficult problem to solve. "

"...The reconstruction project of Akasaka Town will not attract investment? Are you kidding me?" Junzaburo Quanta blinked in disbelief, "...This is a super prime location next to the prime minister's residence and the National Assembly Hall , how could you worry about no one investing?"

"...That is based on the fact that Tokyo is safe and sound, but the future of Tokyo is not optimistic at all-in view of the series of terrible disasters encountered before, and the huge threat of nuclear radiation in Tokyo today So the idea of ​​moving the capital back to Kyoto has been very popular in the recent Congress and the public, and God knows if it will come true...so it is really difficult to attract investment in a short period of time before the panic dissipates , and the Metropolitan Government itself is not willing to provide financial assistance.”

Governor Kamijou Jingkatsu replied frankly, "...and next year. The governor of Tokyo will also be re-elected. I must focus on the election. In the end, whether I can be re-elected or not, now I have no idea. It’s hard to say... So, with the power of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, it is very, very difficult to successfully rebuild Akasaka Town within three years!”

"...What you said seems to make some sense. But... oh..." Junzaburo Quanta shook his head and sighed, "...China rebuilt a city in such a remote place in just two years after the Wenchuan earthquake. As for us, even the reconstruction of the capital Tokyo is so inefficient..."

"...Speaking of Chinese people...Many local councilors have opinions on those Chinese urban management who have gone back and forth!"

When it came to this topic, Kamijou Jingsheng couldn't help frowning, "...Originally, he had already said that he was going back to China, but now he came to Tokyo again, and it seemed that he planned to stay here and not leave... ...Looking at how viciously they beat people all over the street a few days ago, many people were quite worried."

——After learning the news that the Japanese right-wing forces launched a mutiny in Tokyo.In order to protect the resident fire brigade personnel who had not yet evacuated, the city management officers who had boarded the ship in Yokohama and were about to return to China immediately went back again... By the time they drove back to Tokyo from Yokohama, the mutiny had been completely suppressed. There are some sporadic work left to chase and finish.and.During this mutiny, all kinds of exchanges of fire were basically concentrated in the Fu gathering place in Chiyoda District. The Chinese Embassy, ​​Chinatown, and the fire-fighting missile units at the Yokota base were not affected much.

However, although the situation has basically subsided this time, the Chinese side still did not send all these chengguan back to China just in case.Instead, 300 people were selected from among them to form an urban management brigade stationed in Japan, who will be stationed at the fire missile launching positions.The main responsibility is to be responsible for the safety and security of the camp and launching positions before the withdrawal of the "China Aid Missile Fire Brigade".

To be honest, although this urban management brigade stationed in Japan sounds majestic, it is actually just a temporary security establishment. It is impossible to set up stalls in the streets and alleys of Tokyo to seize vendors and seize goods like in China... But the problem Yes, although the city of Tokyo looks very international and open, it is still an exclusive and conservative place in essence.People in Tokyo have always treated foreigners like they treat orangutans in a zoo, as if those orangutans would go berserk anytime and anywhere, pushing them down...

No matter how kind and friendly the foreigners are in Tokyo, there is still a sense of estrangement between the Japanese and them that can only be understood and cannot be expressed...not to mention those notorious Chinese urban management...

Therefore, these days, many local councilors in Tokyo are quite critical of the fact that Zheng Fu allows these Chinese urban management to stay for a long time. There are even a few activist councilors who completely disregard the overall situation and drive a propaganda car into the street to shout something " Oppose Chinese imperialism", which caused Kekatsu Kamijo a lot of headaches.

"...Well, the U.S. troops stationed in Japan stayed in Tokyo for decades, and I didn't see these guys talking nonsense. Now the Chinese are just planning to stay in Tokyo for a few months at most, and they can't wait to jump one by one. Come out and pretend to be a national hero... It's basically a patriotic show!"

Through his own information channels, Junzaburo Quanta, who had also heard about this matter, sighed helplessly, "...After staying in the political arena for a long time, after I really see who are around me clearly, I have no doubts about this country. I feel more and more pessimistic about the future! With the current bad atmosphere in which everyone in the political arena can only talk empty words, even if we get rid of the control of the United States and restore the status of du li, I am afraid that the future will still be bleak!"

"...What can we do? We spent decades of adjustments and adjustments after the war, and the final result is to create this wonderful political system, a min zhu political system that frees everyone from responsibility! "

Governor Kamijou King Katsuto shrugged his shoulders, "...Yes, we have achieved the separation of powers, democratic politics, and popular elections, but we have completely forgotten how to maintain political stability. Chaos. Almost none of the previous prime ministers was able to serve a full term, and the terms of the ministers of various ministries and departments can only be calculated in terms of 'months' and 'weeks' - how can these politicians who do not even have a term for themselves do it well? Out of the country's long-term planning?

As a result, every prime minister came into office promising a bunch of empty words that couldn't be delivered, spent a short term amidst ensuing scandals, and then bowed out in the disappointment and numbness of the people. Without a single exception...

In the process, the people are indoctrinated with the myth of 'min zhu is omnipotent', naively believing that a few votes can bring happiness and prosperity, recklessly abandoning du li thinking, and handing over power to those who are good-looking, eloquent, or Noble candidate.Politicians are also happy to use all kinds of nice words to cater to the people, to perform various images of people's expectations, and to talk big and empty, but they don't think about whether these promises can be realized.The bureaucrats have been taken over by the politicians, and they have also lost their enthusiasm. They only want to maintain the status quo...

In short, since the establishment of this system, those professional groups can package politicians and create agents like packaging stars, and the quality requirements for politicians have naturally dropped greatly, because almost any incompetent and stupid person can act as an idol star , and it is easier to control-the result is a bunch of weirdos who treat state affairs as a trifle.In the past, some people said that the price of being beaten up by China is to realize the normalization of the country.As a result, after being severely beaten, the whole country became even more abnormal.Now it is claiming that even if it breaks with the United States, it will get rid of the control of the US military stationed in Japan, but no one knows how the situation will develop after the break..."

He pursed his lips and shook his head, as if disapproving of the current political situation in Japan, "...Okay, this is the end of these annoying state affairs, let's change the subject! By the way, Izumita-kun, your niece Kotori What is the former prime minister doing recently? Why hasn't she come to visit you?"

"...Hehe, Zhenbai-chan is very busy now! Busier than when he was the prime minister!" Junzaburo Quanta replied with a smile, "...the Japanese atomic energy disaster prevention and management company she founded in Ikebukuro district, yesterday Finally officially opened!"
