life in the sky

The two big men stood up together and continued to climb to the top of the mountain. There was still a long way to go before them, and there were still two mountains to be conquered by them.But one thing is undeniable, that is, under their leadership, the Chinese nation will achieve a great rejuvenation, and this date is getting closer and closer.

Serious anti-Chinese incidents occurred in major cities in Japan. In just one week, more than 100 Chinese were killed, and almost all Chinese-funded institutions were looted by mobs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China lodged a solemn protest to Japan, demanding that the Japanese government take all measures to protect the lives and property of overseas Chinese in Japan.

When the relationship between the two countries was tense, the Chinese diplomatic missions and consulates in Japan mobilized overseas Chinese in Japan to return to China and provided them with free air tickets.The vast majority of overseas Chinese have returned to China in accordance with the requirements of the embassy and consulate, but a few people are still stranded in Japan.

When the relationship between the two countries is not tense, everything is easy to talk about. Once the two countries move towards a state of hostility, these people must be the first to bear the burden.The hatred between the two nations of China and Japan does not depend on anyone's will.

Two Thousand 930 Chapter Five Dilemma

At the request of the [Japanese] government, the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting to discuss China's blockade of [Japan], which lost its due urgency due to various factors.As if discussing a common topic, the member states became orderly and unhurried.

The current situation is very beneficial to China, and one more day of blockade will make [Japan] pay a greater price. According to the words of China's permanent representative to the United Nations, it is best for this meeting to last for a year!

The mediation of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Russia has not stopped for a moment, but China's position is extremely tough, and they simply ignore it. This makes these guys who like to point fingers at China feel deeply helpless and overwhelmed .

World public opinion is also speculating about when China will launch a military strike against Japan.Some said that this time will not be very long, maybe only a week.Others said that it might take three months, as if they were the leaders of the Huaxia country, and the Huaxia army was controlled by them, making it very lively.

Although the international situation is constantly changing, China's blockade of [Japan] has not been affected in the slightest. Instead of stopping, it has become more and more severe.

In the fifth week of the blockade, [Japan]'s oil reserves are about to be exhausted. Although [Japan] claims that its oil reserves can last for three months, the cabinet has also adopted measures to limit the supply of fuel to civilian vehicles, specifically to ensure that the military And other methods such as driving with official vehicles, but it is of no avail.

Although the cars produced in Japan are fuel-efficient, they still cannot rely on water to replace fuel. If this continues, their advanced warships and fighter planes will become a pile of scrap metal.

What's more terrible is that [Japan] is a country with extremely scarce resources. More than 90.00% of the raw materials need to be imported from abroad. The South China Sea waterway is blocked, and the raw materials cannot be shipped in. This has caused the price of domestic raw materials to soar, and most enterprises have stopped working and stopping production. , the unemployment rate rose sharply.

In addition, [Japan] is still an economically export-oriented country, and the products it produces need to be shipped to all parts of the world by sea. Now the South China Sea waterway is blocked, and the goods you want to sell cannot be sold, resulting in a large backlog. Great damage.

The Japanese stock market plummeted, and in just one month, the market value evaporated by more than 90.00%. Western media pessimistically commented: The Japanese economy has actually gone bankrupt.

What's more terrible is that the people of [Japan] once again organized demonstrations on the streets, blaming the cabinet of Takeru Sato for adopting a wrong foreign policy, which was strongly retaliated by China, resulting in the current situation where the people are in dire straits.The public demands that the cabinet of Takeru Sato immediately admit the crimes of the war of aggression against China in the last century, apologize to China, and make appropriate compensation, so as to end the current chaotic situation as soon as possible.

War will bring great pain to the people, and it is also a disaster imposed on the people by a small number of politicians. The people of any country do not want the outbreak of war. Who wants to live a comfortable life and go to fight with others Bloodshed?What the Takeru Sato cabinet has done now has damaged the basic right of the [Japanese] people to survive, so they will naturally rise up and resist.

At the same time, [Japanese] right-wingers also organized a demonstration in front of the Prime Minister's Office, demanding that the government dispatch troops to fight China to the death, even at the expense of the lives of [-] million people, and to fight China to the end.

The anti-war and war-seekers clashed in front of the prime minister's office, followed by large-scale riots all over the country. The social order of Japan, a beautiful island country, has been greatly damaged and is heading out of control develop.

The successive bad news made Takeru Sato restless like an ant on a hot pot. He hid in the Prime Minister's Office and his staff every day, discussing countermeasures all night, how to deal with the current bad situation.

Before the Ryukyu Islands War, none of the Japanese cabinet members expected that the situation would develop to such a bad state.

Originally thought that showing weakness to Huaxia deliberately, or even making some sacrifices, could buy time to realize the Dahe hún plan, but they didn't expect that Huaxia would follow suit, step by step, and gradually tighten the rope around their necks. Realized that [Japan] has now reached a critical moment of life and death.

Takeru Sato is very clear that if you want China to lift the blockade, you must implement most or all of the six propositions put forward by Huaxia. They must resign collectively and apologize to the people.

Takeru Sato is now in a dilemma. If Huaxia's six propositions are rejected, China's blockade of [Japan] will continue indefinitely. Now it has only been five weeks and the current chaotic situation has emerged.What would happen if it was three months or five months?

A young guard officer came in quietly, looking carefully at Takeru Sato's face: "Prime Minister, Taiichi Nakayama, Foreign Minister, please see me."

During this period of time, Takeru Sato was in a state of severe insomnia, and often lost his temper. Yesterday he even beat up a priest for no reason. Naturally, he had to be careful at this time.

Takeru Sato raised his head and looked at the guard, two sharp gazes shot out from his eyes, startling the guard in front of him. It was the guard who stood firmly in front of Takeru Sato, ready to be punched by the Prime Minister again like his companions.

"Please come in, Mr. Zhongshan."

It was the Chief Guard who let out a sigh of relief. He knew that today he was lucky enough to survive this disaster. What he couldn't understand was why the Prime Minister didn't lose his temper today?

There is a reason why Takeru Sato didn’t get angry today, because he has figured it out after these days of painful thinking, and decided to resign as prime minister and stop playing this thankless role. As for the current problems in Japan, Then leave it to those who are wise to solve it.

"Prime Minister, here I come."

"Mr. Zhongshan, is there still some bad news today? If so, you should stop talking about it."

Takeru Sato pointed at the chair expressionlessly, took out a document and handed it over: "I invited you here this time to inform you that I have decided to resign as prime minister. The situation in [Japan] is out of control now. The future of [Japan] depends on those self-righteous guys to grasp it."

Zhongshan Taiyi smiled wryly, and shook his head: "Prime Minister, [Japan] still needs you to steer the ship, and our people still need you. Now we are not in such a bad situation."

Takeru Sato's eyes lit up: "Mr. Zhongshan, what can you do?"

"I entrusted relevant departments to conduct a survey in the past few days. Most of the people asked the government to negotiate with Huaxia to end this bad situation as soon as possible. However, there are still a small number of extreme rightists who insist on going to war with Huaxia. Although this part There are not too many people, but their influence cannot be ignored. Under the current situation, we can only follow the public opinion. My opinion is that the question of peace or war should be left to the people to judge."

"You mean to implement a referendum? This is a good way, but a referendum takes time, and our current situation is very serious, and we cannot wait a day."

Nakayama Taiichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Sato Takeru agreed, it would be easy. What he was most worried about before coming here was that Sato Takeru did not agree to implement a referendum. Now it seems that this is not a problem.

As soon as Takeru Sato finished speaking, Nakayama Taiichi took out a document from his bag: "Prime Minister, this is a document I have drawn up on the referendum. If we can get approval from Congress soon, we can get it within a week at most. The final result. Our cabinet represents the interests of 4000 million people, and we will do whatever the people ask us to do. The result of this will be to reduce the pressure on our cabinet and not take on greater responsibilities.”

Takeru Sato knows very well that holding a referendum is a good way. If the result of the referendum is war, then he has no choice but to bite the bullet and fight Huaxia.If the result of the referendum is a tie, let's settle the problem through negotiation.All responsibilities must be borne by the entire nation.

Two thousand nine hundred and thirty six chapters referendum

Everything has two sides. The referendum can transfer the responsibility to the people, but the prestige of Takeru Sato's cabinet will be greatly reduced. If it is supported by the people as before, or lead the people to re-establish a powerful Japan It is even more difficult. The dream of becoming the greatest prime minister in Japanese history will never be realized.

Two lines of turbid tears flowed from Sato Takeru's eyes. He picked up the document and read it seriously. After 15 minutes, he signed the document with trembling hands. He felt sad and helpless at the moment, as if he was surrendering and signing.

"Mr. Zhongshan, I appointed you as the supreme person in charge of this referendum, and you will handle this matter."

The so-called referendum refers to the voting method used by some democratic countries to decide important decisions such as constitutional amendments, territorial changes, and the future of the country. The main form is that all citizens with voting rights agree or disagree with a certain decision by voting. Judgment is based on a simple majority.

The theoretical basis of a general referendum is that everyone is equal, and every citizen has the right to participate in policy formulation.Indeed, referendums allow for the greatest democracy, a clearer understanding of what people really want than through elected representatives.This also prevents the formulation of major national policies from being manipulated by a few people.At the same time, referendums can also foster a sense of political responsibility among citizens.

However, referendums are not a perfect system.First of all, each voter only pays attention to his own interests, and does not or seldom consider the interests of the country as a whole. Therefore, the formulation of certain policies cannot maximize the interests of the country.In addition, the referendum is suspected of threatening human rights, and the simple majority method makes it impossible to protect the rights and interests of those minority people.

In addition, referendums are more susceptible to media influence than other systems because a large proportion of voters do not know the real impact of policies and can only make their own choices based on information obtained from the media.Therefore, those who can control the media can easily manipulate the results of referendums.This is less likely to happen in a presidential or parliamentary system, because the elected representatives have a great advantage over the electorate in terms of education and access to information.

At the same time, the cost of referendums is obviously much higher than that of other political systems, so it is impossible to conduct them too frequently, and this problem does not exist in a parliamentary system.In addition, referendums cannot be highly real-time, and the time it takes for a referendum to be completed can be calculated in weeks or even months, which is not suitable for those issues that must be decided quickly.

Generally speaking, the referendum is indeed a decision-making method for the country when it faces major problems, and it is also a means for the top leadership to shirk responsibility or avoid punishment. It is rarely used in any country.

Faced with strong pressure from China at this time, Sato Takeru decided to adopt a referendum to determine the future of Japan, which means that he and the whole of Japan have reached the end of their rope.

In this referendum, the whole of Japan can be said to have exerted extremely high efficiency.That afternoon Taiichi Nakayama submitted the proposal for a referendum to the Diet, and the Japanese Cabinet and House of Representatives approved the interim bill the next day.

The Japanese media also made a lot of reports during this period, mobilizing the people of the whole country to take active actions, participate in this action, and cast a vote that will determine the fate of Japan.

In less than three days, more than 80.00% of the people participated in the voting. The final statistics showed that the number of people who requested to resolve the disputes between the two countries by means of talks with Huaxia reached [-]% of the total number of voters. [-]% Seven.

The voting results and procedures are in line with Japanese laws and regulations, which means that the cabinet of Takeru Sato must resolve the disputes between China and Japan through peaceful talks.The referendum also rejected far-right demands for war with China.This referendum can be described as a consensus, and it also shows the unwillingness of ordinary Japanese people to join a war.

The referendum brought breathing time to Takeru Sato's cabinet, and the pressure from the people has also been reduced, and there is no need to sway aimlessly like before.Although there are still some tabloids still advocating war with China, these are non-mainstream voices, and they can no longer influence the political situation in Japan.

Takeru Sato announced in his public speech that the cabinet will respect the wishes of all citizens, but in order to cater to some right-wingers, Takeru Sato also announced that he would not rule out the possibility of a war with China.His speech also has no practical significance. In the final analysis, it is just a bluff, and he wants to strive for greater interests for Japan in future negotiations.

Two hours later, the situation of the Japanese referendum was grasped by the Central Committee of China. This result is also good news for China. It not only avoided a war, but also achieved the goal of subduing Japan. Soldiers of man.

That night, Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai was brightly lit, and the Standing Committee of the Ninth National Congress held an emergency standing meeting here.When Chief No. [-] announced the results of the Japanese referendum at the meeting, all members of the Standing Committee showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
