"......Huh" Yang Peiqi let out a long breath, opened her eyes, and looked sideways at the demon capital in the night, her expression was indifferent, and a deep chill flashed in her eyes.

"The Japanese side is ready, now over?" Explorer Eight knew what Yang Peiqi was thinking now, and asked softly.

"Humph!" Yang Peiqi snorted coldly, her eyes were full of coldness, and she said coldly, "I can understand many things, after all, everyone has their own way of survival, and I am not a cold and bloodthirsty person." However, family is my last bottom line! No one can touch that! That guy really thinks I can't do anything about him? I can afford to look down on myself! ”

The guy Yang Peiqi is talking about is a big figure in the new Japanese government, and a rising political star who has only recently risen rapidly in the Japanese political arena.

Speaking of which, the rapid rise of popularity of this big man still has a lot to do with Yang Peiqi.

The name of the big man is Taro Aso.

In fact, Taro Aso is not a newcomer to Japanese politics, on the contrary, he is still an old bird in Japanese politics, and once served as the prime minister of Japan. However, the former Japanese prime minister was more tragic, and during his tenure, all kinds of troubles continued, and he was forced to step down after less than a year as prime minister. With such a short tenure, he has become a well-known short-lived prime minister even in Japan, where the "castle head changes the king's flag".

However, just a few days ago, because Japan suffered two heavy attacks in a row, and the Japanese authorities did nothing, and finally lasted only two days before falling.

This is the only way to happen in a country like Japan, where the political situation is often turbulent.

First of all, it has to do with Japan's political system. The term of office of the Prime Minister of Japan is shorter. It's only been 3 years since I worked for one term. After 1993, Japan's political system changed. The "55-year system" of the Liberal Democratic Party's one-party dominance collapsed, and the opposition parties continued to grow in power. Presently. Since Japan's new policy system has not yet been formed, the political situation is unstable, which is the main reason for Japan's frequent "transpositions".

Secondly, it has to do with the Japanese economic system. After a "lost decade," the Japanese economy has entered a period of new volatility. It stands to reason that Japan, as the world's second largest economy, is inferior to the United States in terms of its economic stability, risk-averse ability, but its ability to withstand crises and cope with crises is not as good as that of the United States. It is still not to be underestimated. One of the key points is that Japan's sense of national distress and crisis is too strong, and as soon as the yen appreciates, Japan immediately panics, and there is a risk that the country will not be able to become a country and the nation will perish, and this year's economy has shown a downward trend, and the government has not been able to take effective economic measures.

Third, it has been influenced by domestic and foreign shapes. In the age of globalization. The situation of a major country may have an impact on Japan's political situation, and the international situation has an indirect effect on Japan's political situation. For example, Yoshihiko Noda, who has just stepped down, has given him a lot of points in foreign affairs, such as his Asian policies, but he has been ineffective in domestic affairs, such as economic reform, pension reform, and reducing the gap between rich and poor. This has brought it to the brink of resignation. Now that Japan has suffered such a devastating blow twice in a row, and the Noda government has done nothing, its downfall has become inevitable.

Furthermore. Japan is a family society. As a family-style society, the "emotional factor" often plays a dominant role. Family-style society. Because the actual level of socialization is not high, especially in politics. Topics that need to transcend the interests of small groups are more difficult to reach consensus in societies with low levels of socialization. The various family systems became the ropes of the Japanese government and were bound.

Although the previous government has stepped down, these vacant seats always have to be sat in. Because the Noda government stepped down too suddenly, all parties were not prepared, and in such a situation, Taro Aso, who originally did not have the strength to participate in the competition, had a whim to try to fight for the throne in an alternative way.

When Konou was Japan's prime minister, under the trend of conservatism and the rise of nationalism in Japanese society as a whole, Aso and Kotou sang and harmonized, openly contempt for the national feelings of China and South Korea and challenged the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations on issues such as historical understanding, Taiwan's status, and the "Chinese threat theory."

On November 26, 2005, in response to the Yasukuni Shrine issue, Aso claimed in a speech in Kanazawa City: "Only China and South Korea are talking about the Yasukuni Shrine issue in the world...... Japan doesn't mind whether it's isolated or unpopular. ”

On January 28, 2006, in a speech in Nagoya, he advocated that the emperor should visit the Yasukuni Shrine, saying, "The heroic spirits all shout long live the emperor, and none of them shout long live the prime minister, so his majesty the emperor should visit the Yasukuni Shrine the most." He even said, "Even if the Yasukuni Shrine issue is resolved, it does not mean that the problems between China and Japan have been resolved, because it is a neighboring country, and there is no other way than to maintain a certain sense of tension." ”

On February 4 of the same year, in a lecture in Fukuoka City, he vigorously praised Japan's "merits" in colonial education on the island, saying that he deeply felt that "our ancestors still did something in a down-to-earth manner and greatly improved the level of education on the island." ”

Previously, on December 22, 2005, when asked by a reporter how he understood Seiji Maehara's theory of the Kaxia threat, the leader of the Democratic Party of Japan, Aso agreed with Maehara's view on the spot, saying that "Kaxia is becoming a threat to Cheng Dù." For the first time, he openly proclaimed the theory of the Chinese threat on a formal occasion as a Japanese cabinet minister.

The last time Aso ran for prime minister of Japan, the international situation was quite stable, and in the deep economic crisis of Japan at that time, he did not dare to offend China, the only big country that maintained high growth in the global economic crisis, so he did not put forward any insulting remarks about China as a slogan for the election. However, this time, Aso Taro decided to make some changes, that is, to take advantage of the current special situation and win public opinion with some special statements.

And Aso's special remarks were to attack Huaxia when he was participating in the election campaign, and all kinds of insults and slanders made everyone who heard it couldn't help but get angry because of his fierce words.

If it's just like this, forget it, everyone is their own master, and it's not a big deal to spit on Xingzi, and Yang Peiqi won't be too angry because of this kind of thing.

It's just that Taro Aso may have tasted the sweetness in this way. After he finished slamming Huaxia, he seemed to feel that this was not enjoyable enough. Suddenly, the topic changed and pointed the finger at the unknown forces that launched two attacks on Japan some time ago.

Aso Taro was born into a family of politicians, and his great-grandfather Aso Taiyoshi started his career as a coal mine manager during the Meiji period, and was known as the king of coal mines, and finally became a member of the House of Nobles. His grandfather, also called Taro Aso, died early at the age of 33, and his father, Aso Taigayoshi, inherited the ancestral business and served as the president of Aso Stores, Aso Mines and Aso Cement, and forcibly conscripted tens of thousands of Korean laborers for production during World War II, and was elected to the House of Representatives with the support of his father-in-law Yoshida Shigeru after the war, and the Aso family's industry became the most important source of political funds for Yoshida Shigeru.

Aso's wife, Chikako Suzuki, is the third daughter of former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiyuki Suzuki, and his sister is married to Emperor Akihito's cousin, Prince Kanhito Mikasanomiya. The Aso family became an authentic imperial relative.

In addition, Aso's grandmother, Natsuko, has a niece and granddaughter who is the wife of Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto. His eldest sister-in-law, Yoshida Kan, is the uncle of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and his wife Dunko's cousin is Kiichi Miyazawa, and the Miyazawa family is also related by marriage to the Hatoyama family and the Ikeda family. Therefore, the Aso family can get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of Japan's hereditary politics and nepotism.

Aso, who was pampered in a superior official and business family environment, was conservative in ideology, ignorant of people's suffering, and had a vague understanding of history, but his personality was flamboyant, open-mouthed, and fond of comics, and he often read mistakes, and was ridiculed by the media as "Big-mouthed Aso", "Dumb Taro", and "Comic Head".

According to Fukamachi, Aso's former secretary in his hometown, in 1947, when Aso reached the age of elementary school, his family specially established the "Aso Juku Elementary School", including Aso himself and the children of the company officials of the Aso crew, a total of four students.

When he was in middle school, Aso was also a notoriously bad student, but he was active, and everyone called him "the young master of Chikuto". Because of his excess energy, this young master got a gun to play, but he didn't expect that he would be able to participate in the Olympics in the end......

At that time, the formation to see him off was particularly large. Many people were at the scene, and some people organized an 'Aso Support Association' to cheer him on. The scene was full of flags, drums thundered, and the support team members with white strips of cloth on their heads shouted loudly, making outsiders think that he had won the Olympic gold medal. Aso waved to everyone and vowed to 'come back with the gold medal'. But in the end, Aso finished 41st in skeet shooting at Montreal 1976. Apparently at the Olympics, he is just an "amateur".

However, only a very small number of people were allowed to participate in this elegant event of several hundred yen per bullet at the time, and it is said that because Aso was too procrastinating, the international competition established the "rule that you must launch within 15 seconds of entry", which can be regarded as a contribution of Aso.

After graduating from high school in 1959, Taro Aso told his father that he wanted to go to a national university, but his father severely criticized him: "Stupid! If you don't have money, don't waste people's taxes! Do you want to be a civil servant? The University of Tokyo is a school that trains those people. ”

So, according to the arrangement of his parents, Aso, like the children of the imperial family and many other official eunuchs, entered the Faculty of Political Science and Economics of Gakuin University, specializing in political science, and his grades were the fifth from the bottom. It is said that during college, my studies were perfunctory, and I read comics all night.

After graduating in March 1963, Aso studied at Stanford University in the United States and the School of Economics at the University of London in the United Kingdom, but did not obtain any degree. (To be continued......)
