*********************************
When the news of the US State Department's passage of the bill on arms sales to the Ming Dynasty reached Japan, the Japanese political circles immediately caused an uproar; although the Ming Dynasty was founded for so long, Japanese fishing boats still habitually went to the waters of the Ming Dynasty to operate, and there were abundant aquatic products there. Last time, this incident also triggered a protest from the Ming Kingdom, so it is undeniable that the Ming Kingdom's defense budget is likely to be aimed at Japan.
Japanese Prime Minister Abe couldn't sit still at first, and immediately summoned Taro Aso, Japan's vice minister, finance minister, and minister in charge of finance, to hold talks with other members of the cabinet.
Although the United States claims that Japan is the most reliable friend of the United States, in fact, it is always on guard against this ally, and in addition to striking at the Japanese economy in the 90s, it has also made unprecedented difficulties against Japan in the past few years because of the Toyota incident.
From World War II to the present, Japan's military industry has been going underground and developing rapidly, and the arms dealers during World War II have all turned to automobiles, shipbuilding, heavy industry, iron and steel, and other fields, but the arms industry has not been lost, and the weapons and equipment produced in Japan have now reached a very high level. At the same time, Japan's right-wing forces are still clamoring for lifting the ban on the right of self-defense and amending the Japanese Constitution.
In order to contain China, a rising economy that can compete with the United States, the United States had to let Japan do the above, but the emergence of the Ming Kingdom has one more chess piece that can be used to contain China and Japan.
After repeated discussions at the meeting, the Japanese cabinet held that it was necessary to invite Prime Minister Abe to visit the United States and raise a series of anti-Ming theories to the United States, such as that China and the Ming Kingdom were one and the same, that the Ming monarchy was unreliable, and that the Ming Kingdom threatened the United States, and that Japan was worried.
At this time, Jason, the privy envoy of the Ming Empire, had already taken the first step and got on a plane from Hawaii to Washington, D.C., this time he went to the United States to purchase weapons, and by the way, he also visited the U.S. Department of Defense, went to the United States to give speeches, and visited his hometown of Florida.
As a U.S. Marine Corps, Jason has a soft spot for American-style weapons, and the weapons he mainly wants to purchase this time are mainly army and navy individual equipment, assault rifles, night vision devices, assault rifles, Javelin anti-tank missiles, Apache gunships, Black Hawk helicopters, Patriot anti-aircraft missiles, F/A-18E "Super Hornet" or F-16 "Super Cobra", in addition to purchasing one or two ships.
But this is just Jason's purchase, and whether he can buy it is still a question. And after visiting the United States, he also needs to look at the arms of other countries, including China, Russia, Japan, and Israel.

January is the winter of the Ming Kingdom, and the number of tourists on the island has also decreased, and there is only less than a month left before the Spring Festival, and the people of the Ming Kingdom are studying how to spend the first Spring Festival on the island.
As early as January 2, the Ming Dynasty announced the legal holidays of the Ming Empire, and Zhu Wei required that the formulation of statutory holidays should be based on the protection of traditional festivals, continue the ancient festivals, and add the concept of new festivals.
The statutory holidays set by Zhongshu Province include 11 days of the Spring Festival, 1 day of the Qianqiu Festival (the ninth day of the first month), 1 day of the National Day (the fourth day of the first month), 1 day of the Shangyuan (Lantern Festival), 2 days of the beginning of spring, 1 day of the spring equinox, 1 day of the Spring Society, 2 days of cold food, 1 day of Qingming, 1 day of Shangsi (Children's Day), 1 day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, 1 day of the Spring Society, 1 day of the Buddha Bathing Festival, 1 day of the Dragon Boat Festival, 1 day of the beginning of summer, 1 day of the summer solstice, 1 day of the beginning of the autumn period, 1 day of the Autumn Society, 1 day of the autumn equinox, 2 days of the mid-autumn festival, 1 day of the Zhongyuan Festival, 1 day of the Chongyang Festival, 2 days of the winter solstice, and 1 day of the beginning of the winter. There are a total of 24 holidays for a total of 36 days.
The European and American Senate and Zhengyan immediately protested, strongly demanding that the three festivals of New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas in the Western calendar be added to the legal holidays of the Ming Kingdom.
After a fierce battle in Menxia Province, in the end, the counselors, Zhengyan, and priests of Menxia Province all believed that these two festivals affected the inclusiveness of Ming culture and the attractiveness of future immigrants. However, due to the fact that there are too many Chinese Zhengyan, they did not join European and American festivals in the end, but only added Thanksgiving and Christmas to the scope of folk festivals in the Ming Kingdom.
The Spring Festival holiday in Ming Kingdom will start from Chinese New Year's Eve and continue until the tenth day of the first lunar month, a total of 11 days of holidays. There are four festivals in the middle, including Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Day (the first day of the first lunar month), and National Day (the fourth day of the first lunar month), and historical sources record that this day is the founding day of the Ming Kingdom, and the Thousand Autumn Festival (the ninth day of the first lunar month) is the birthday of the Jade Emperor.
Those who need to leave Ming Kingdom early to visit relatives can take early vacations, but the number of vacation days will also be shortened.
When the news came out, the islanders were very happy, and many of the migrant workers and new immigrants from China on the island did not bring their families, so they were hesitating whether to take their families to Yingzhou for the New Year or return to China for the New Year. In order to prevent Yingzhou from becoming an empty city during the Spring Festival, the Ming government and many enterprises have implemented double wages for overtime during the Spring Festival, as well as a paid holiday system for those who do not go abroad to attract employees not to leave the Ming Kingdom during the Spring Festival.
In the palace of the Ming Kingdom, Zhu Wei secretly met his two good brothers here, Zhou Jun and Xu Bin, who came back from Hawaii. The three of them have new goals for the next five years, and Xu Bin and Zhou Jun will go to the United States and Japan to develop the industries there.
The howling Pacific cold wind blew outside the window, and the swaying branches could be seen, and Zhu Wei looked at the two brothers who had just met and separated, and his heart was full of emotion.
"This trip will be very difficult, I will first send twenty agents of the Jinyi Guard to protect you in the United States and Japan, and there are still people who are connected there. You have to be as careful as possible over there, and in five years you will be the first hero of the empire, and you will all be promoted to the rank of knight. ”
Xu Bin looked at his former best friend on the dragon bed, the young emperor, and was reluctant in his heart, "Why are you so serious, so many people are protecting, what are you afraid of, besides, if I want to make a film in Japan, haha, how many Chinese men want to do it." ”
Zhou Jun said: "It's almost okay, take it easy, don't go to Japan for five years, and when you come back, you will lose your kidney, haha"
"It's okay, I have a medicine factory, as long as you come back, how much kidney tonic medicine will need." Zhu Wei couldn't help but joke.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a doctor that Zhu Wei had already arranged walked in with two nurses, and these three people were obviously from the palace.
"Your Majesty, the medicine has arrived." The medical officer bowed his head.
Zhu Wei calmed the emotions of the two brothers: "This is a doctor from our Tai Hospital. ”
Zhu Wei pressed a vial from the medical officer, only to see that the vial was the size of a No. 5 battery, and it was a green liquid. No one knew that this green liquid was a genetic optimization liquid produced by Zhu Wei from the high-grade medicinal herbs extracted from the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree and mixed with other mixtures.
It is a primary version of the genetic optimization solution, which can strengthen the various organs and muscles of the body after injection, eliminate most of the fat, make people full of strength, improve agility, and the body can achieve the effect of muscles and strength that have been exercised in the gym for several years.
According to Assistant VI, there is also the same type of genetic optimization liquid in the Canglong Empire, but since the Canglong Empire firmly controls a vast area as large as the Andromeda Galaxy, there are more elements than the Earth's, and the quality is better than the Earth's.
But even if it lacks other elements, it is not a perfect genetic optimization liquid, but it is still a special secret of the Ming Empire, Zhu Wei's baby, with this genetic optimization liquid, at least the speed of military training will be increased many times.
Zhu Wei plans to export this most basic genetic optimization solution to the world in the future, and it is estimated that the market will be vacant about tens of millions of pieces every year, but it cannot be exported at the moment, and it will have to wait until a more advanced genetic optimization solution is developed for use in the people and the army. In order to export the low-level to foreign countries.
