Sino-Japanese relations, which have just eased, are making waves again

On the morning of the same day, officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China revealed to the outside world at the "Tianjin New Area Investment Promotion Conference" that the issue of Diaoyu Dao, which is hindering the development of Sino-Japanese relations, should be resolved as soon as possible, and that if the situation so requires, the Republic will take all necessary means to exercise sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao

Although the news came from unofficial channels, and the official who revealed the news did not identify himself, after being reported by a number of well-known TV stations, the news immediately set off a blatant wave

As the name suggests, "all necessary means" certainly include "military means"

The Republic is once again taking a tough stance, and a super "typhoon" is forming over the East China Sea

When the news spread, Hatoyama had just left the Prime Minister's Office

In the eyes of outsiders, Hatoyama is an indecisive politician who lacks decision-making ability, and this character not only ruined Hatoyama's political future, but also brought the reform promoted by the DPJ into a quagmire

Outsiders don't know that Hatoyama doesn't have the ability to make decisions, but that he doesn't have the power to make decisions

The "stubbornness" of Japanese politics can be traced back to the Meiji Restoration, through the imitation of Western civilization, the establishment of an industrial system, and the implementation of expansion policies, Japan quickly became an industrial power after the Meiji Restoration, like every empire, a strong Japan quickly embarked on the road of foreign expansion, and finally lost in World War II, after the war, Japan was occupied by the United States, except for the emperor was retained, Japan's state system underwent earth-shaking changes, after the outbreak of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Japan became the front line of the Cold War, With the support of the United States, Japan has established a modern democratic system, which is different from the democratic system rooted in Western civilization, and the grafted Japanese democratic system has been a "deformed child" since the day it was born

Family politics, factional politics, and group politics are the "three major characteristics" of Japanese politics

In the decades after the war, with very few exceptions, Japan's prime ministers were all from major political families, and they were not only the spokesmen of political families, but also the products of factional struggles within the party, and even more so the watchdogs of interest groups

Hatoyama is no exception, and behind him are the Hatoyama family, the five major factions of the Democratic Party, and dozens of interest groups

In the face of the intricacies and the severity of the situation, it is not difficult to understand that the reform carried out by the Democratic Party is difficult

After receiving the news, Hatoyama did not return to his mansion in Tachikawachi, but went to Fujiyoshida

At noon, Hatoyama came to the manor in the woods on the west bank of Lake Yamanaka, leaving his bodyguard, Hatoyama changed into a kimono, clogs, and followed the doorman to the back garden

The manor is very Japanese-style, with the towering Mt. Fuji to the west, the crystal clear mountain lake to the east, the endless meadows to the north, and the lush forest to the south

The place where he lives is none other than Hatoyama's uncle, Hatoyama Ryojiro

Unlike his elder brother, who once served as Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs, that is, Hatoyama's father Hatoyama Weiichiro, Hatoyama Ryōjiro only served as the prime minister's administrative assistant to the prime minister when his father Hatoyama Ichiro was the prime minister of Japan According to family practice, Hatoyama Ryōjiro, as a "reserve force", was mainly responsible for managing family affairs, and after the death of his father and brother Hatoyama Weiichiro, Hatoyama Ryōjiro became the "patriarch" of the family, and he was the only patriarch

Compared with his nephew, who is twenty years younger, Hatoyama Ryojiro can be regarded as an "old treacherous and cunning"

Waiting for his nephew to sit down on the futon opposite, Hatoyama made a cup of tea

"Uncle ......"

"Taste it and see if my tea ceremony skills have improved," Hajiro made a gesture of please

Hatoyama didn't dare to refuse, and honestly picked up the pocket teacup

"I watched the news, and it was exactly what I expected"

Putting down the teacup, Hatoyama cast an inquiring glance at his uncle

"Freezing three feet, not a day's cold" Hajiro sat very upright, and his expression was also very serious, "In the past few years, our contradictions with China have been accumulating deeper and deeper, and we have not been able to resolve last year's South Asian War. It is an out-and-out hard-line leader, and the East China Sea conflict is just a part of the huge iceberg of Sino-Japanese contradictions, and Ji Youguo's attitude is capricious, and we need to deal with it more carefully."

"When war breaks out, China may not be able to reap the benefits"

"Really?" Hajiro snorted coldly and said, "Do you think the Minister of Defense's words can be easily believed?" ”

Hatoyama lowered his head and did not argue with his uncle

"Although we are not India, but China at this time is not the China of a year ago, you must always remember that despising the enemy will lead to unbearable consequences" Hajiro let out a long breath and steadied a little rapid breathing, "A year ago, China was able to easily defeat India, and now they are fighting at home, and they can mobilize military forces more conveniently, and their military strength cannot be underestimated"

It means ......"

"We have to take a long-term view, and we can't just see the powerful relationship in front of us," Hajiro poured another cup of tea for his nephew, "Seven years of reform, the results are only a handful, what's the problem?" I remember telling you six years ago

The DPJ is a nascent political party, and even if the whole party is fully mobilized, it will be difficult to change the chronic ills caused by the LDP's decades in power within a few years by adjusting its reform policy, and some achievements have been made in the past few years.

Hatoyama nodded, he had already thought about this problem

"We must give an explanation to the people and let voters vote for the DPJ," said Hamjiro after pondering for a while, "If we make concessions on the Diaoyu Islands issue, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction and make us encounter greater resistance in resolving the territorial disputes with South Korea and Russia."

"If we lose the war...... Hatoyama didn't say the rest of the words

"Winning or losing is a secondary issue, but the important thing is whether we can convince the people that the DPJ is determined to defend the fundamental interests of the Yamato nation and not to overestimate the assistance of the United States, which is like a monkey in Mt. Fuji, and the future of the Yamato nation can only be seen if there are benefits."

Hatoyama thought for a moment and said, "What does Uncle mean that we should adopt an appropriate tough policy?" ”

"It's not appropriate, but resolute," Hajiro glanced at his nephew and said, "It's like a gamble, before placing a bet, both sides have to count the chips in their hands, guessing that if the opponent's hole cards are not resolute and decisive, it will only expose our weak side, let the other party take advantage of the situation to pursue, and finally lose a mess, isn't the lighthouse on the island burned down?" We can make a fuss about this issue and see how China reacts"

Hatoyama nodded and said, "Other than that, do you want to prepare for war?" ”

"It's okay to mobilize appropriately, but don't go too far," Hajiro pondered for a while and said, "When the war starts, all the tricks will be exposed, and when the time comes, the strength will be as you feared, and if we lose the war, what will happen to the result?" ”

At the mention of this question, Hatoyama's expression immediately darkened

"The problem needs to be looked at from both positive and negative aspects" Hajiro did not look the slightest worried, "as long as the war breaks out, it is not the business of the Democratic Party, but the affairs of the entire Yamato nation, whether it is the crumbling Liberal Democratic Party or the right-wing political party coalition that is in the limelight, we must put the interests of the nation first, if someone dares to come out and create trouble at this time, he is the sinner of the nation, and we are the biggest winners, not only can we easily win in next year's general election, but also comprehensively promote the reform process. We can shift the blame to the troublemakers and unite nationalist forces to consolidate the Democratic Party's position in power."

Hatoyama was secretly startled and cast an admiring look at his uncle

"Of course, we have to be prepared for all kinds of situations," Hajiro sighed and said, "I've lived in the mountains for a few years, so it's time to go out and breathe, and when you go back, contact the top leaders of the LDP and the right-wing coalition as soon as possible, and say I'm going to visit them."

"Uncle, you went out in person, isn't it too direct?"

"What do you know?" Hajiro smiled coldly, "Don't talk about others, can you deal with that old fox Fukuda Duowen?" If I'm not mistaken, Fukuda Tawen must be moving around, trying to take the opportunity to get us to step down and get Ozawa to make a statement as soon as possible, and not to give the opposition too many excuses to wait for me to return to Tokyo before making a final decision."

At this time, the doorman hurriedly ran over and whispered in Hajiro's ear for a while

"Ozawa called me, I have something important to ask for your opinion" Hajiro closed his eyes, "It's nothing else, you can go back first"

"Uncle, I'll take my leave"

Leaving the manor, Hatoyama found that his underwear was soaked with sweat

After the convoy pulled onto the highway, Hatoyama called Ozawa

"What? Be clear."

"I just received a report that from yesterday afternoon to noon today, nearly $30 billion of hot money has flowed into our country, and the regulators believe that a large influx of hot money indicates that someone is preparing to attack our financial market"

"Closely supervise and find out the source of hot money as soon as possible" Hatoyama gritted his teeth, it was really eventful

"I've already sent someone to investigate, do you want the intelligence department to intervene?"

"No matter what method is used, we must find out the source of the hot money as soon as possible and give me a detailed report"

"Understood, I'll contact the intelligence unit right away"

Hanging up the phone, Hatoyama let out a sigh of relief, and his mood was even more volatile

Although it is impossible to confirm whether it is China behind the scenes, Hatoyama believes that the influx of international hot money is by no means an accident, let alone an emergency, and that some people are planning to bring down the Japanese economy!

Damn it*
