Chapter 20, the second disease also has to be the prime minister
or 3g ...... This is Tokyo...... It doesn't feel like it's going to be good! ”
Under the warm autumn sun, Captain Wang Qiu wore a white shirt and a cowboy kù, dragged the chain of a wolf dog and a trolley suitcase, followed by Comrade Cai Rong, mixed with the bustling people, and slowly walked out of the big mén at Tokyo Narita International Airport. e-watch is available free of charge
View from outside the airport...... Well, it's empty, it's rural, there's not much bustling to see, and the nearest skyscraper seems to be on the distant horizon - but that's normal, and besides Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, what other big city would put the airport directly in the middle of the city?
But overall, the facilities here are significantly older than Shanghai's Pudong Airport, and the architecture is not as imposing as the Pudong Airport.
“…… To be exact, this is Chiba Prefecture, which is located outside the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and is still 68 kilometers from the city of Tokyo. ”
Zombie witch NV Sanae Rika introduced to Wang Qiu - after the group arrived at Narita Airport and took out the checked luggage, Sanae Rika got out of the suitcase, and pressed it with a "beep" while acting as a guide for Wang Qiu, who came to Japan for the first time.
"Wow-woo-woo!"
Sonia fell on all fours, dragged her leash and twisted her head and howled, as if urging her companions to hurry up - as every time she returned from her wolf form to human form, she would experience a long period of weakness, during which she would be largely immobile. So in order to avoid getting in the way, she had to continue to walk out of the airport as a husky pet dog until she arrived at the office in Tokyo.
Obviously, while no one else would look at a wolfdog in a strange light, for Commissar Sonia herself, it was almost like a parade through the streets - although her shame was far less than that of the average Lesser NV, and such a violent play really made her uncomfortable.
But on the other hand, being able to hold the hand of the cute witch NV while holding the hand of the cute witch nv, while adding the beauty dog and the loa, made Wang Qiu's mood feel so happy for a while - this is a real beauty dog! It's a pity that I can only slip. Can't ride......
After experiencing a few months of abnormal life, Wang Qiu's festival cào has also been lost less and less unconsciously.
“…… Oh, got it. Please don't worry, Comrade Political Commissar - Miss Sanae, where will you pick up our car? ”
Wang Qiu bent down and mō Sonya's head as a reassurance, then turned to the zombie witch NV and asked.
“…… This one...... I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the Okutama office! ”
Rika Sanae, who had just made a phone call. Very politely, he bowed slightly to Wang Qiu, "...... Tokyo has been very busy in the past two days, and there have been road jams everywhere. The office suggested that we should take the tram - well, the subway. ”
“…… Well, I can understand this......" Wang Qiu nodded knowingly. “…… The panic caused by the leakage of nuclear radiation, right? ”
“…… No, no one has long regarded nuclear radiation sè as a thing, it was the sāolàn triggered by the cabinet's announcement of a large increase in consumption tax! ”
――――――――――――
The subway in Japan is generally so crowded that it is necessary to have a special group of strong men at the station to stuff passengers into the carriage with brute force like sardines in a can. But. Because it's not rush hour. So Wang Qiu and the others still found a seat, stuffed Sonia under the seat at the same time, and then watched the news on the LCD screen while taking the car to downtown Tokyo.
-- Quite unlike what Wang Qiu had imagined before his departure, the people of Tokyo reacted surprisingly calmly to the fact that the nuclear leakage had already begun to occur in Fukushima. Or apathy. Except for the occasional scrolling subtitle that pops up on the TV screen, indicating how much the spokesè indicator has risen in a certain place. Residents are advised to stay safe and stay outside the house for the time being. The news media paid little attention to it. …,
Alas, this is really strange, I heard that the "day" of the year only encountered a little sandstorm ashes, so I screamed as if the sky was about to fall, and almost criticized the two sandstorm origins of the country and méng ancient as the great demon that destroyed human civilization. But now there are really sèxìng substances leaking around me every day, but no one pays attention to them...... Could it be that the Japanese himself has been patriotic to such a terrifying extent - when he encounters a little sandstorm in a foreign country, he will be criticized and violent, and when he encounters a domestic spoke, he will be willing to let his children and grandchildren become little monsters?
“…… I know that many Chinese people have prejudices against Japan, but please don't think of us all as perverts, okay? ”
Sanae Rika glanced at Wang Qiu with some displeasure, "...... It's not that we're not afraid of spokes. In fact, everyone knows the dangers of nuclear leakage, but the problem is that Japan is too small to move, so we can only continue to live in the middle of the fire. What's more, since the Fukushima nuclear crisis, the leakage of the damaged reactor has not stopped, and all kinds of dangers have not stopped, but the severity of the difference is just a difference.
At first, Tokyo was still shocked three times a day, and once a warning came from Fukushima, there was a big làn in the Tokyo market, and a bunch of people dragged their families to the west. After a long time, everyone slowly became numb, and at the same time, they got used to it, as long as the government did not issue an evacuation order, they would run and dance one by one, and they would still live their lives as they should. Now, even the news media don't bother to report it......"
“…… I understand, that is, the so-called seeing strange things and getting used to them becoming natural,......" Wang Qiu nodded...... I can understand this, because for Tokyo residents, the Fukushima nuclear power plant has always been a neighbor who cannot move. Just as Somalis are accustomed to war and South Africans are accustomed to AIDS, so the tenacious people of your country have to get used to nuclear radiation. ”
“…… Although this may sound like a compliment...... But I still can't help but want to beat you up? ”
……
In short, Tokyo residents' insensitivity to nuclear spokes is a frightening choice for foreigners, but it is also a helpless choice.
Although everyone knows the threat of nuclear radiation, no one can easily leave their homeland and start their lives anew. In this way, for anyone who lives under the shadow of nuclear radiation for the rest of their lives, they are afraid that sooner or later they will go crazy.
Therefore, those in Tokyo who can't move generally feel that it. Since spokes are like strong jiān, in the situation that they can't resist or dodge, they still choose to be numb. At least you can live happily. Anyway, the country has been plagued by disasters since ancient times, and Japan itself has been tormented by hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes and other disasters for thousands of years. The nerves couldn't be thicker, and any more nucleus sè didn't seem to be a big deal.
In fact, major TV stations in Tokyo have generally added the spokesè index to their weather forecasts. For the average office worker and head of household, "today's nuclear radiation level in downtown Tokyo is rising" seems to be no different from "heavy rain in downtown Tokyo today" - however. In case of heavy rain, you can also prepare umbrellas and galoshes; When the dust drifted over, there were no protective clothing and lead shoes at home!
However, no matter how tragic the reality is, life still has to go on after all.
However, although the people of Tokyo have become accustomed to nuclear radiation, they are not used to another thing.
For example. At this time, the latest hot news in Tokyo is broadcast on the LCD screen in the train. made Wang Qiu stunned. …,
-- Parades with banners and slogans, roadside cars blazing in flames, looted shops, black smoke billowing up, riot riot guards with large shields, water cannons and tear gas spraying at the demonstrators...... Politicians with bandages on their heads. Holding the microphone in the "wide" field, he tried his best to call on the people to exercise restraint, but he got a reward. It's just rocks and garbage thrown at him.
“…… Are you sure this picture is Tokyo now? How do I look like the streets of Cairo during the 'Arab cūn', or the Paris Commune in the 19th century? Look at! Even the barricades have been built! Well. When the tanks hit the streets, the picture will be more like Palestine! ”
Looking at the "Tokyo Street Battle Blockbuster" on the LCD TV, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a little excited.
“…… You seem to have forgotten two other places, Lhasa and Urumqi during the outbreak of ethnic conflict a few years ago! ”
Sanae Rika gave him an angry look, "...... It's no surprise that there is such a scene in Tokyo! If China suddenly announces a 40% consumption tax, I can guarantee that your Shanghai and Beijing will definitely be even more than Tokyo now! ”
――――――――――――――
The so-called consumption tax is a tax levied by the government on all consumer goods, and it is directly included in the price of consumer goods.
At the end of the last century, when the consumption tax had just been introduced, the tax rate was 3%. Later, due to fiscal difficulties, the tax rate was raised to 5%, and then to 8%, then 10%, and then to 20% in order to reduce the fiscal deficit.
In order to achieve the goal of fiscal balance, especially to pay the United States as soon as possible the funds owed for the US military stationed in Japan for more than half a year, and to avoid the anger of Washington's bald eagle masters, the latest consumption tax rate introduced by the Japanese authorities has actually rushed to 40% in one go!
This means that if someone buys a product for 100 yuan, then 40 yuan of it is used to pay consumption tax.
On the other hand, before the introduction of the consumption tax, the original price of this item should have been 60 yuan - a two-thirds increase!
Next, let's make a simple comparison - what is the consumption tax rate of China?
-- With the exception of "luxury goods" such as tobacco and alcohol, jewelry, automobiles, and real estate, there is no consumption tax on general goods.
This is also the main reason why Chinese people always feel that "cigarettes and alcohol are really expensive" and "foreign cars seem to be cheaper than domestic ones".
In general, the main purpose of setting consumption tax in China should be to limit people's excessive consumption and spend too much money on luxury goods.
However, the consumption tax of "Japan" covers every commodity in the whole society - from instant noodles and bento boxes to cars and villas; From sanitary napkins to condoms, from postcards to computers, from newspapers to train tickets...... Except for a few exceptions to special regulations, the consumption tax is paid according to the prescribed proportion for any other goods! And it's included in the price!
In this way, the actual social role of the consumption tax has become "robbing the poor and helping the rich" -- according to general political common sense, the state should collect more taxes from the rich, less taxes from the poor, and relief for the poorest. In this way, social stability can be maintained. But the problem is that the excise tax is directly embedded in every commodity in society, and no one is exempt from its oppression. Even if it's a flowing làng Han who has nothing. He also had to endure the exploitation of the consumption tax - when he used the money he begged to buy rice balls, he had already paid the consumption tax once. …,
However, because the Japanese government did not dare to attack the chaebol, there was no way to reduce expenses. Even more unable to borrow money from abroad -- the accumulated national debt over the years has exceeded the country's annual GDP by several times, and no one dares to lend money to such a debt-ridden government -- so the consumption tax has to be continuously increased.
As a result, when the consumption tax was only 10%, the Japanese themselves were already complaining. This time, the consumption tax will rush to 40% in one go, no matter how good the people of Japan are. I finally couldn't help but erupt -- this is tantamount to raising the price of the whole society by two-thirds at once!
As a result, tens of thousands of Tokyo citizens, led by retail owners, retirees, and students, and instigated by opposition parties, poured into the streets, gathered outside the Diet and the Prime Minister's residence, and vented their grievances with all their might, which soon developed into a vicious form of smashing and looting.
Afterwards. A Nisezu parliamentarian who wants to be in the limelight. Hearing the news, he took a few younger brothers to the vicinity of the parliament and tried to disperse the crowd. It's just that this guy really can't speak, and he actually makes a lot of nonsense at such a time, intimidating the demonstrators, and there are a lot of insults in his words...... As a result, the fool was immediately dragged down by the angry demonstrators. After a blow of fists and kicks, his head broke and he died in the street.
The ensuing situation could no longer be controlled - the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched an FPU unit. Attempts were made to disperse the crowd with high-pressure water cannons and tear gas. The procession responded with stones and Molotov cocktails, and the gangsters who were in the procession began to loot shops. And set fire to several shopping streets. In addition, several banks are said to have been looted. As for crimes such as rape, theft, and car burning, they happen everywhere.
Twenty-four hours after the incident, the situation was still not under control, but began to spread to other cities such as Osaka and Kyoto - some were peaceful demonstrations, while others had become a group crime.
Fortunately, the scope of the current storm is still limited to the central urban areas of several major cities such as Tokyo, Kobe, and Osaka, and most of the railway systems can barely maintain normal operation.
However, in the terrible situation of the full-scale explosion in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the small leak at the Fukushima nuclear power plant naturally no one cared about.
“…… 40% consumption tax! This is the real official bī people...... If the government of the country dares to come like this, the people of the country will probably not just throw stones and Molotov cocktails, and many people will have to carry guns to Jinggangshan again to fight guerrillas! ”
Looking at the sāolàn footage on TV, imagine what it would be like if the fǔ of the Chinese National Government did the same...... Wang Qiu suddenly felt a little liver tremor.
And what he cares about more is another imminent matter.
“…… That, Sanae-sama, do you think this storm will spread to my sister's office? ”
Looking at a large supermarket with soaring flames on TV, Wang Qiu asked worriedly, "...... Even if it's a remote place, it's still in Tokyo! What if by the time we got off the bus, it had turned into a big torch? ”
“…… Probably not! "The expression of the zombie witch NV seems to be a little weird...... Okutama town that place...... It was calm all the time. ”
Just as Wang Qiu was about to ask further questions, the sāolàn picture on the LCD TV suddenly cut off and was replaced with an even more explosive piece of urgent news.
“…… Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce an update on my message...... In the early hours of this morning, His Excellency Shota Ebihara, president of the Solidarity Party and former minister of the Cabinet, unfortunately passed away suddenly. In accordance with the final results of the Constitution, the emergency meeting of the Cabinet and the meeting of the House of Councillors and the House of Representatives, Miss Maharo Kotori, Vice President of the Unity Party, became the new Minister General of the Cabinet of the country at noon today, the youngest Minister of the Cabinet in history, and the first Minister of the Nvxìng Cabinet...... A spokesman for the opposition LDP strongly protested against this, saying that it was a completely irresponsible performance...... "...,
The middle-aged male news host of the TV station read the above with a strange expression like a ghost, and then the picture shifted to the National Assembly Chamber, and the new Minister of the Cabinet Standing on the podium - a cute and beautiful NV in a Gothic black lace dress!
This is a petite and beautiful NV with a Luo lì face, and her snow-white skin is reminiscent of the word doll. She has cute short ear-length hair, a small top hat decorated with xìng, and a striking yellow ribbon, and a strand of dull máo standing proudly on the top of her head, outlining a crescent-like arc, making her even more playful and cute. However, she has a bandage on her left hand and an exaggerated medical eye patch on her right eye, so while the green cūn is sprouting, it also gives people a feeling of weakness, which is even more pitiful.
At this moment, she is turning her little finger very cutely on the podium of Congress, and her snow-white little face is also filled with a faint layer of powder: "...... Minasan! Thank you for your support! I hope you will have more love and courage...... The United States has developed shale gas, and China has built nuclear fusion, but Japan has also launched the AKB series of idol groups! So we all have a bright future ahead of us! ”
“…… Oooh! Cute! ”
“…… True white sauce is the highest! Long live the Prime Minister of the Little Bird Tour! ”
Several young men sitting on this tram suddenly saw that their eyes were shining, and they let out cheers in unison. And the other middle-aged uncles and grandfathers, who seemed to be more stable, dropped their jaws, and at the same time couldn't help but start talking about each other: "...... Could it be that today is the end of Shijie? Little Bird Swim True White...... This secondary two disease is also going to be the prime minister? ”
