Chapter 363
Japanese Scourge
After making a name for himself in politics. Aso's desire for politics increased. In the 2001 LDP presidential election, Taro Aso tried to compete with the dog, but lost by a large margin. However, he immediately turned to the Dog camp and became a staunch supporter of the Dog, so he stabilized his position as chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party's political poll committee, and two years later joined the cabinet as Minister of General Affairs. After that, in the postal privatization reform and the House of Representatives election, Aso followed Koizumi's footsteps, and as his influence increased, he soon became one of the popular candidates to succeed Koizumi.
Taro Aso is proficient in English and has many connections in American political circles, and is a typical representative of the pro-American faction in Japanese politics. However, he has always advocated a hard-line policy on relations with Asia. He once said, "I never thought that Japan-China relations would become as important as Japan-US relations, and for Japan, there is only one country with an alliance, and that is the United States." 'Japan-China friendship' is just a means, and its ultimate goal is to realize the common interests of Japan and China."
Taro Aso is the vice chairman of the pro-Taiwan group "Japan-China Relations Parliamentarians' Earnest Meeting," and in the past he also actively supported the visit of "Taiwan independence" element Lee Teng-hui to Japan and visited Taiwan during the SARS epidemic. On the issue of the Yasukuni Shrine, he was not only the only cabinet official to visit the shrine during the Yasukuni Shrine's spring festival in April 2005. In addition, he made remarks attacking China for using the issue to embarrass Japan.
Therefore, he is also one of the five high-ranking government bureaucrats in this online joint meeting, including Japanese Prime Minister Inu's stupid wolf, and it can be said that he is the most hateful of the five high-level government officials against Long and Long Fan Federation.
Mr. Aso was also one of the main planners and liaisons of the joint meeting, and his remarks were immediately echoed by the majority of the participants, who had originally participated in the joint meeting on the basis of their own right-wing political positions. One of the representative is the Japanese underworld, the president of the Sumiyoshi Association of the designated violent group, Shigeo Nishiguchi, who is the main representative of the Japanese underworld in the meeting, he is about 50 years old, with a stern appearance and a stern tone: " I fully agree with General Affairs Minister Aso's statement that at this critical juncture, we must take drastic measures to resolutely ban the illegal organization of the Long Fan Federation, and instead of following the policy of breaking down the options one by one, we should take the lead and order all the key members to be arrested, so that we can never suffer from future problems. β
Among them, the Japan Youth Society built a lighthouse on the Diaoyu Islands in 1978, and in 1988 it even pulled up a reactionary banner in front of the family tombstone of Nakasone, then prime minister, with the inscription "Yasukuni Heroic Soul Weeping" in an attempt to create momentum and "legalize" an official-style visit to the Yasukuni Shrine. The most notorious move of the "Japan Youth Society" was the establishment of two lighthouses on the Diaoyu Islands in 1996, which was strongly opposed by the Chinese side. On September 26 of that year, Chan Yuk-cheung, a Hong Kong fisherman, drowned while going to the Diaoyu Islands to carry out fishing activities. And in 2000, the Japanese youth society established a small shrine on the Diaoyu Islands.
Seeing that most people were in favor of implementing the beheading plan proposed by Taro Aso, the little dog Stupid Wolf, who was the chairman of the joint meeting, had to express his position at this time. Because in his heart, he didn't approve of this beheading plan, because it was too risky for him personally, and his life would end if he didn't do it well.
"I am not in principle, in favor of such a risky action in such an uncertain situation, which would inevitably lead to greater social unrest. I have to be accountable to the whole cabinet and to the country. Now, I think what we have to do is to suspend the previous ban plan, as well as any counter-propaganda actions to discredit Long, to avoid causing too much turmoil in the country, or even political splits, and ask you to focus on the overall situation. β
The words of the little dog stupid wolf made the former representative of the Mitsui Foundation, Massuke Kitayama, and the representative of the Sumitomo Foundation, Kato Susuke, very relieved, but the tenant Kazuo of the Mitsubishi Foundation was obviously very dissatisfied with the little dog's stupid wolf's retreat.
"Your Excellency, we are all aware of your concerns and the impact of Long's statement, but at this critical moment, we will be disrupted by the interruptions. We must make sacrifices for this, and if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to shake the position of the Long Fan Federation in the future, and we will not be able to eliminate the influence of Long on our great Japanese Empire. Long is a Chinese man. If we continue to allow it to develop and continue to expand its influence in our country, or even intervene in our domestic politics with the help of fan associations in the future, this will bring ruin to our Japanese Empire. Therefore, I would like to ask you to make a decision, and even if someone impeaches you in the future, I will stand firmly on your side. β
Tenant and husband's statement, and many other other bigwigs at the meeting expressed their stance asking the little dog to make a decision and resolutely take action against the fan association. But the little dog stupid wolf is not a political rookie, and after making a contemplative look, he said with a heavy face: "Gentlemen, as the prime minister of the cabinet, I naturally don't want to see a foreigner have too much influence in our country, for the illegal organization with more than 20 million people and obviously pro-China political tendencies, I naturally want to ban it, but please understand that the Los Angeles riot back then* As well as the last time we had a large parade of millions of fans in our country and the bloody clashes against the Yamaguchi-gumi, I would like to ask you to wait patiently for another day to see how the situation develops before making a decision. β
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, wait another day, we will definitely be more passive, please give the order immediately. Kiyoji Kashima said with an angry look.
"Your Excellency Dog, please give orders. There is an old Chinese saying, long nights and many dreams!" Tenant and husband persuaded even more earnestly
Even Taro Aso said with some excitement at this time: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, now we have no way out, we can only use force to ban the fan association." create an established fact, otherwise it will definitely be regretted in the future. β
The vast majority of the rest also joined the persuasion.
The little dog stupid wolf secretly regretted in his heart, although he had a right-wing political position, but compared to the political position, he was more concerned about his political fate, and thought that this time he could have the opportunity to win over these bigwigs and elites from all walks of life for his own use and enhance his political strength. But now it seems that it is likely to be self-defeating. If the prime minister, himself, orders the use of the Self-Defense Forces and the police to ban the fan federation this time, then he will be the prime minister, and this is an obvious result. They all wanted him to make a sacrifice as prime minister, and of course he didn't want to do it.
"Gentlemen, give me one more night to think about it. This is not a trivial matter, and I will have to consult with the rest of the Cabinet. Well, that's all for this joint meeting, thank you for joining us in time. After the little dog stupid wolf said this, he immediately unilaterally closed the online video conference.
For a while, the bigwigs from all walks of life who attended the meeting were dissatisfied, and there were more than 20 participants in this joint meeting, including political bigwigs, economic bigwigs, underworld bigwigs, and intellectual elites. Of course, the most eye-catching of them are the major consortia led by Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Sumitomo. It can be said that without the backing of these foundations, Japan's right-wing forces would not have been able to flourish after World War II.
Over the past 60 years, the violent and terrorist acts of Japan's ultra-right-wing forces and their various actions to cover up the crimes of the Japanese fascist army and obscure the facts of Japan's war of aggression. It just highlights the various ties between the far-right forces and the fascists in those years.
On October 12, 1960, 17-year-old Yamaguchi Fuchiya, a member of the far-right Great Japan Patriotic Party, assassinated Inajiro Asanuma, chairman of the Socialist Party, at the Hibiya Hall in Tokyo. Afterwards, such a note was found in Yamaguchi's school pocket: "You, Inarijiro Asanuma, are reddening Japan. I don't hate you personally, but for me that you are in the position of the leader of the Socialist Party, that you are talking nonsense during your visit to China, and that you are directly responsible for the storming of the Capitol, this is absolutely inadmissible for me! β
The Asanuma assassination is important for describing the trajectory of the growth of Japan's extreme right-wing forces in the postwar period. It's very representative. The so-called "gibberish during his visit to China" refers to Asanuma's remarks that "U.S. imperialism is the common enemy of Japan and China."
During the Cold War, Japan's ultra-right-wing forces survived under the guise of "opposing communist forces all over the world," and the violent and terrorist policies pursued by the influential "anti-communist swordsmen" at that time became the guiding ideology of Japan's ultra-right-wing forces. With the end of the Cold War, the political landscape of the world has undergone tremendous changes. When the banner of "anti-communism" was rolled up, the true colors of Japan's ultra-right-wing forces were exposed in broad daylight: they whitewashed "maintaining world peace and justice, respecting social morality, and following traditional virtues such as righteousness, bravery, courtesy, and sincerity...... but the ultimate demand was "loyalty to the emperor" or "observance of the spirit of bushido," and the "spirit of bushido" was also to maintain the integrity of the emperor system.
Sixty years ago, Japanese militarism relied on this spiritual pillar to bring unspeakable suffering to the people of Asian countries. Today, 60 years later, this spiritual pillar still exists like a cancer in the world β when Europe was loudly saying "no" to the Nazis, the propaganda trucks of the far-right forces were still swaggering through the streets of Tokyo, and the old Japanese military flag was fluttering in the wind and the military songs were loud.
The arrogance of Japan's ultra-right-wing forces in the past was by no means groundless, and the roots of the cancer were deeply rooted in the social soil. Before the war, the series of wars of aggression launched by the Japanese militarists were closely related to the advocacy of fascism by the Japanese right-wingers. During the war, Japan's right-wing forces colluded closely with warlords and chaebols to launch wars of aggression against foreign countries. After the war, the US troops occupying Japan disbanded the Japanese right-wing groups for a time, and the right-wing forces were greatly weakened. However, with the beginning of the "Cold War" and under the protection of the United States for anti-Soviet and anti-communist purposes, not only the old right-wing forces in Japan were restored, but also new right-wing groups were formed, which gradually had an impact on Japan's political, economic, and social life. After the end of the "Cold War," Japan's right-wing political forces spread all over the country and expanded day by day. Since the 80s of the 20th century, the number of right-wing groups has increased at an average rate of 20 to 30 per year. According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 900 registered right-wing groups in Japan, with more than 120,000 members.
Ideologically speaking, the militarist ideology established after the Meiji Restoration in Japan was not fundamentally touched. From the perspective of social foundation, Japan's continued economic slump in the past decade or so has provided the soil for nationalist and ultra-nationalist ideas. More importantly, the support of some large Japanese companies and conglomerates. As a result, the activities of the Japanese right-wing forces have become increasingly rampant. The activities of right-wing groups are inseparable from financial support. Before World War II, right-wing groups were financed mainly by large chaebols such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Sumitomo. After the war, these zaibatsu were not purged and their economic power was retained, so that the zaibatsu remained the backbone of the Japanese economy. With the beginning of Japan's high economic growth, the three major chaebols were restored one after another in a new form of composition, and they were reduced to the economic backing of right-wing groups, using various means to transfuse blood and boost the morale of the right-wing forces, and at the same time relying on these right-wing groups to make political capital. For example, there are as many as 95 enterprises and 16 foundations that support the "New History Textbook Compilation Committee," a right-wing political organization that denies historical facts and beautifies the war of aggression.
The New History Textbook Compilation Committee "includes almost all right-wing scholars in Japan, and its annual activities amount to more than 420 million yen." It has published more than 1 million photo collections of various kinds of denial of history, and organizes hundreds of rallies, lectures, and lectures in various parts of Japan every year to deny Japan's crimes of aggression against China. Their main source of wealth comes from powerful companies and conglomerates, including the well-known Kashima Construction, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo Group, etc. These companies and consortia recklessly plundered China's resources or enslaved the Chinese people during World War II, and continued to do things that hurt the feelings of the Chinese people after the war. For example, the chairman of the right-wing group "Nippon Kaizen" is himself Koichi Iemoto, chairman of the Japanese giant Wacoal AG, and there are even more companies supporting the "Osaka Kaizen" branch of the "Nippon Kaizen". In the mid-90s of the 20 th century, the "Japan Youth Society," a right-wing force that had repeatedly infiltrated China's Diaoyu Islands, also received covert support from the Japanese foundation. According to Japanese media reports, some large companies and consortia have provided a large amount of funds for the "Japan Youth Society" to land on the islands, and they have stipulated that if they succeed in landing on the Diaoyu Islands, they will be rewarded with tens of millions of yen per person.
Some Japanese consortia are not only the "gods of wealth" of the right-wing forces, but they themselves have also formed camps in various forms, showing a clear right-leaning. They have both strong economic power and deep political backgrounds, and their influence is no less than that of right-wing groups such as the "Compilation Society". The "national defense family" composed of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and other military enterprises is a right-wing camp with tremendous energy and far-reaching influence. Japan's big conglomerates are not just willing to manipulate behind the scenes, they always move from the backstage to the foreground, playing various far-right roles. On the one hand, some companies are themselves right-wing organizations. For example, Koichi Tsukamoto, chairman of the board of directors of the large Japanese enterprise Wacoal, was the first chairman of the "Nippon Kaikai," Japan's largest conservative group, and the Japan Council has been vigorously carrying out propaganda and promotion activities in order to vigorously promote the textbooks of the New History Textbook Compilation Committee.
In the list of members of the Textbook Improvement Liaison Council, another peripheral organization of the compilation committee, you can also see the names of many business figures, such as Masao Kamei, Sumitomo Electric Consultant, Rokuro Ishikawa, honorary chairman of Kashima Construction, and Takasada Yamamoto, honorary chairman of Fujitsu. So many people in the business community are willing to participate in the activities of right-wing groups, while those civil society groups that have the courage to expose the problems of Unit 731, ***, forced labor, etc., do not have the support of any big business people, and often have to pay out of their own pockets to barely survive. For example, Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara's private consulting organization "Discussion on Thinking about the Tokyo Issue" also includes some big business figures, and well-known right-wing figures Yoshinori Kobayashi, Nobukatsu Fujioka, and Kunio Yonenaga are also among them.
Some large conglomerates and corporations in Japan have also used the channel of personal connections to promote the development of right-wing forces, and university classmates, close friends, and introductions have all become effective channels for establishing personal contacts with high-level political circles. The "private group," which has been led by Japan's successive prime ministers and leading figures in the financial circles, is an important place for close personal contacts between large conglomerates and high-level political leaders.
It is precisely in this general environment that Japanese right-wing groups are reaching out in all directions to create incidents. As everyone knows, Japan's right-wing groups are stirring up trouble on the Diaoyu Dao issue in China, the Dokdo issue in South Korea, and the Japanese history textbook issue. At present, they have gathered about 420 groups on the issue of China's Diaoyu Islands to carry out anti-China incitement and other activities.
The influence of Japan's right-wing political forces is expanding day by day, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is the first to visit the Yasukuni Shrine as an incumbent prime minister, ultra-rightist Shintaro Ishihara was elected governor of Tokyo by a high vote, and many Japanese politicians have also used right-wing remarks to win votes.
However, at this moment when the right-wing political forces in Japan were making great achievements, Long, a Chinese genius boy who was only 16 years old, was born out of thin air, and within a year, with his singing voice and his personal charm, he quickly brought down people from all walks of life in Japan, especially young people, so that in these short two or three years, the originally strong right-wing political atmosphere in Japan disappeared, and the political soil on which the right-wing forces relied for their survival was further deteriorated, especially this year's "Sino-Japanese friendship" It has almost become a mainstream political melody, and many politicians have turned to the slogan of "Sino-Japanese friendship" to solicit votes, and have declared their long fans in public, even the Japanese prime minister, the little dog stupid wolf, is also not exempt from vulgarity. Of course, he can't be blamed for this, because even US President George W. Bush has publicly declared himself a fan of Long and praised him.
However, this situation is absolutely not wanted to be seen by the Japanese right-wing forces, first of all, the extreme right-wing organization led by the Japanese Sakura Society planned the assassination of Long behind the scenes, but Long himself was unharmed, but it brought ruin to the Sakura Society and the Yamaguchi-gumi themselves. As a result, the strength of Japan's right-wing forces has been greatly damaged.
However, even so, the Japanese right-wing forces will naturally not be willing to be frustrated, and their influence in their own country is increasing day by day, and the slogan of "Sino-Japanese friendship" is getting louder and louder. Therefore, the major right-wing organizations secretly negotiated and connected in an attempt to tackle the two-pronged situation at the same time, with one hand grasping the matter of banning the fan federation and the other grasping the anti-propaganda action to smear the image of the long. But as a result, this plan, which was finally launched, was declared bankrupt as soon as it was launched, first smearing the counter-propaganda action, that Guo Nanhao had just held a press conference to accuse Chen Feng, but instead he was betrayed by his own daughter, died on the spot, and moved out of the Japanese right-wing forces, fortunately, their actions this time were also secret, and the only one who knew about Guo Nanhao had also died, although everyone knew that it was the Japanese right-wing forces who planned this incident, but to find out which right-wing organization it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, because there are nearly 1,000 right-wing organizations in Japanγ
Originally, although Guo Nanhao's failure made them disappointed, they could bear it, because their main purpose was to ban the Long Fan Federation, according to the original plan, the first two steps were very smooth, but when the next key step was about to be taken, Long, their Japanese disaster star, suddenly held a press conference and issued a condemnation statement to disrupt the situation, making their original plan uncertain. However, if everyone is united enough, and the little dog stupid wolf prime minister can dare to take risks, bravely take responsibility and sacrifice, this ban plan can still be carried out.
Although more than two-thirds of the people were in favor of continuing the plan on the spot, one-third of the people expressed their opposition, especially the prime minister, who was also among these few people, did not dare to take risks, and was even less willing to sacrifice his own political life.
Just two hours after the end of the joint meeting of representatives of various circles led by the Japanese right-wing, even louder demonstrations broke out across Japan. This made the little dog stupid wolf happy, if he had listened to the persuasion of the previous bigwigs before him and promised to use force to ban the fan association, he would have been out of control at this time.
So, after the outbreak of the nationwide protest demonstration, he immediately made a national television speech on TV, publicly apologized to the people across the country, and said that he would immediately order the release of tens of thousands of demonstrators who had been arrested, and the dog also made it clear that the nine vice presidents of the fan federation who were arrested before were completely in accordance with the judicial process, calling on the fans of the fan federation to be calm, believe in the laws of the country, believe in the court's judgment, if these nine people are innocent, they will definitely be acquitted, and the little dog stupid wolf is even more high-profile said that Long is a friend of the Japanese people, and he himself does not object to him coming to JapanIf he could, he would even invite Long to the Prime Minister's Office as a guest.
As soon as the little dog's stupid wolf televised was broadcast, it immediately attracted the favor of many demonstrators. When the demonstration lasted less than an hour, more than 10,000 protesters who had been arrested were released one after another, and the public support of the little dog and the wolf could not help but increase significantly. The demonstrators immediately returned the favor, and after the arrestees were released, they spontaneously disbanded their marches. As for the nine vice presidents of the arrested fan association, everyone also heard from the words of the little dog stupid wolf, although he did not explicitly release them immediately, but according to the current situation, it will be sooner or later.
Chen Feng, who was in Hong Kong, also watched the TV speech of the little dog stupid wolf for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little regret in his heart. According to the history of the stupid wolf in the memory of the previous life, especially the four visits to the Yasukuni Shrine during his tenure, he naturally did not have a good impression of him, and this time the Japanese side directly dispatched the army to suppress the demonstrations and protests of the fan association, if it were not for him, the prime minister- The order of the commander of the army, navy and air force is naturally impossible, and Chen Feng even guessed that it is possible for the little dog and the wolf to use the army to directly ban the fan association, but fortunately, he came forward in time to issue a condemnation statement to stop the other party's intentions. Originally, Chen Feng thought that the other party would continue to be tough, but in the end, it was out of control, which made Japan's domestic political situation chaotic, and the little dog stupid wolf, the longest-serving prime minister in the past 30 years according to the original history, may step down early, but now the little dog stupid wolf has come to such a trick beautifully, made a TV speech, publicly apologized to the people, and also called Long a friend of the Japanese people in his personal capacity, and invited him to come to Japan as a guestIn addition, he originally had a high degree of public support because of the improvement of Japan's economy since he came to power, and it was not easy for him to step down at this time, after all, so many people in the country supported him. This is where Chen Feng is depressed.
But what he doesn't know is that there are many people in Japan who are more depressed than him, and before Koizumi made a national televised speech, he did not inform the bigwigs from all walks of life at the previous joint meeting in advance, which is understandable, because two-thirds of these bigwigs hope that he will make political sacrifices and resolutely ban the fan association. The little dog stupid wolf also knows that after this incident, he will definitely have a knot with these right-wing bigwigs in the future, and they may not support him as much as before, but this is also a helpless thing, after all, the little dog stupid wolf is still reluctant to take the position of prime minister. However, without the support of these right-wing bigwigs, there will certainly be difficulties in all aspects of governance in the future, and if the next term is to be re-elected, it may not be successful, you must know that Japan's prime minister is not directly elected by the whole people, but the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives are elected, and among these parliamentarians, many of them are supported by several major chaebols in the country, and some are simply people from the chaebols, without the support of these people, it will really not be easy to be re-elected in the coming year. And this is also where the little dog is depressed by the stupid wolf.
Of course, more depressed than a stupid wolf of the dog, naturally the people who conspired to calculate the long and the Japanese long fan federation before, they took great pains for this plan, but they took great pains for a long time, they thought that success was in sight, but they suffered two blows in succession, and now there is a "nest anti", the little dog prime minister who they have high hopes for is actually the first to be timid and retreat, and they can't be depressed, so that they are more sure in their hearts that long is their idea of the "disaster star" of the Japanese Empire.
Although Chen Feng was a little dissatisfied with the outcome of this incident, he also knew that he had fought a beautiful counterattack for the Japanese Fan Federation this time. As for the final verdict of the nine vice presidents, naturally there will not be much of a problem, although everyone knows that the nine vice presidents of the Long fan attack on the stronghold of the right-wing organization are inextricably linked, but after all, there is no direct evidence, and there are many people on the side of the Long Fan Federation, of course, the court will not ignore it, and it is obviously inevitable that they will be acquitted again.
Shortly after the little dog stupid wolf made a televised speech, I don't know if it was a coincidence, a strong earthquake of magnitude 8 suddenly occurred in Hokkaido, Japan, followed by several aftershocks, one of which reached a magnitude of 7 on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the earthquake was located in the Pacific Ocean of eastern Hokkaido, and the epicenter was about 42 kilometers below sea level. The U.S. Earthquake Survey reported that the quake had a magnitude of 8 on the Richter scale, with the epicenter in the sea near Nemuro, 973 kilometers north of Tokyo. The earthquake was mainly concentrated on the east coast of Hokkaido, and it was enough to shake and collapse buildings in the area. In addition, a fire broke out at an oil refinery in Tomakomai City as a result of the earthquake, injuring dozens of workers, more than a dozen of them in serious condition.
At the same time, highways were blocked in some areas, and rail operations were temporarily suspended in many places. Hokkaido Police Department official Yoshiyoshi Omori said the earthquake killed 23 people and injured 43 people, 13 of them in serious condition, when a local train carrying about 66 passengers derailed. There have been no reports of direct deaths from the earthquake, but a 61-year-old man died after being hit by a car while cleaning up debris from the earthquake.
Kushiro Airport was temporarily closed due to a subsidence of roofs, and several roads were blocked by mudslides. Fire officials in the Kushiro area said 50 people were being treated for abrasions and fractures, while on the outskirts of Kushiro, 131 people were injured, 22 of them seriously. In addition to injuring hundreds of people, the earthquake also shut down units 4 and 6 of Hokkaido Electric Power's Toto Tsushima Atsuma Power Station, disrupting power supply to 86,000 residents in some of the earthquake areas. Officials said the number of injured would certainly continue to rise, as damage had not been reported in many areas. Footage from automatic cameras in the offices of NHK and other television stations in Hokkaido shows that the earthquake caused houses to shake violently, and furniture and belongings were scattered all over the floor, making it difficult for people to stand and walk.
Japanese Minister of Disaster Prevention Kiichi Inoue said at a news conference in Tokyo that after the earthquake struck, Japan's Self-Defense Forces, police, and firefighters have all gone to the earthquake-stricken areas to investigate and repair damaged roads and other public facilities, and to rescue the injured. The Crisis Management Center at the Prime Minister's Office has also set up an Earthquake Disaster Response Office.
In response to the panic of residents in other parts of Japan about a strong earthquake, a scientist from Japan's National Institute of Earth Sciences and Disaster Prevention pointed out that after multiple strong earthquakes, strong earthquakes are unlikely to occur in other parts of Japan, such as Tokyo. "In Japan, which has a lot of seismic activity, there are multiple strong earthquakes in the same area in a short period of time every 10 years or so," he said. "The Japan Meteorological Agency said that after the earthquake, there was also a tsunami of different degrees on the eastern coast of Hokkaido, and as aftershocks occurred, waves rushed to the coast in waves. On the coast of Urahoro in Hokkaido, the waves even rushed through the embankment. In response, the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning and evacuated approximately 41,000 residents along the central and southern coasts of Hokkaido. In addition, Aomori, Fukushima, Iwata, and Miyagi cities in the northeastern part of Honshu Island have also received orders to be vigilant against tsunamis. In 1993, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale in Japan triggered a massive tsunami in western Hokkaido, killing 200 people.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a tsunami warning for Japan at the same time as it issued a similar warning to Japan's northeastern neighbor, Russia. In addition, countries and regions in the waters surrounding Japan, such as the Philippines, Taiwan, and Guam, are at risk of experiencing low-intensity tsunamis in the next few days.
By the time the next day's statistics came out, 158 people had died, 36 were missing, 979 had been injured, and more than 200,000 people had fled their homes. The Japan Meteorological Agency has warned of the possibility of aftershocks or a series of small earthquakes in the next 10 days. When the first earthquake struck, aftershocks were also felt in the Tokyo area, about 960 kilometers south of Hokkaido.
The strong earthquake in Hokkaido also sent a lot of shocks to the Japanese stock market, which had been sagging for several days. On the 26th, the Nikkei Stock Average in Tokyo fell 92.81 points, or 0.9%, shortly after the market opened. The shares of various listed companies in Hokkaido fell sharply in a short period of time, with Hokkaido Electric Power Company and Hokkaido Bank losing the most. The yen also fell slightly against the dollar after the market opened.
The earthquake was the strongest in recent years, and the casualties caused by it were also the largest, but for a time the political impact caused by the national march was much smaller, and the attention of the Japanese people was immediately diverted to the earthquake.
On the Hong Kong side, when Chen Feng was watching the puppy talking on TV on the Internet, Karina was also beside him, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.
"Xiao Feng, now that the prime minister has taken the initiative to invite you to Japan, when do you think you will go?" Karina asked with concern.
According to Chen Feng's previous thoughts, the sooner he went, the better, but now Chen Feng has changed his mind a little, and the reason is very simple, because the vice presidents of the nine fan associations have not been released at this time, and it is not easy for Chen Feng to discuss the founding of the party with them.
"I'll have to wait until the nine vice presidents of the fan federation are released. Chen Feng replied casually.
Karina estimated and said: "They haven't heard a trial yet, and if they want to go through the judicial process to be released, it will take at least a month or two." β
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Well, it's possible, but maybe it won't take that long." Anyway, when they come out, I'll talk to them about forming a party. β
"And what kind of party are you going to form with them?" Karina asked, curious.
Chen Feng said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet, but it's definitely not a right-wing party, I have a good name, it's called the Kuomintang New Party, advocating Sino-Japanese friendship, deepening economic reform, revitalizing the Japanese economy, and improving the living standards of the people." β
Karina couldn't help laughing when she heard Chen Feng say this: "If this Kuomintang New Party becomes the ruling party of Japan in the future, it will definitely be very interesting." β
"yes, it's definitely fun. Chen Feng also laughed proudly. What could be more enjoyable than having a small Japan, and playing directly to the national level.
"However, Japan's next general election seems to be in 2005, so it is almost two years away. Karina poured cold water.
Of course, Chen Feng knew this, and nodded with a little regret: "This is also something that can't be helped, but there are two years to prepare." The New Kuomintang Party is naturally more certain when it comes to the general election. β
Karina smiled and nodded: "That's true, I believe that there will be two years to prepare, and by the time of the 2005 general election, the National New Party will definitely be among the big parties in Japan, even if it can't become the ruling party immediately." β
"If the Japanese government and other parties had not made small moves, I would have been able to say that the Kuomintang would have become the ruling party. Chen Feng said with confidence.
At this moment, Chen Feng received a call from Chen Keying, and as soon as Chen Feng connected, Chen Keying immediately said: "Boss, there was a strong earthquake in Japan, and according to Japanese news reports, this earthquake has a magnitude of 8, and it seems that the casualties must be very large." β
