Of course, objectively speaking, if we must say that these two Japanese cabinet ministers subjectively want the seller to seek glory and specifically agree to these terms and treaties that are harmful to themselves and others, then it is definitely biased!

The Minister of Finance is not an ordinary person. It is impossible for him to say with a smile when he sees a Yankee: "Japan is great! Japan is great, development is great, and the economy is great! So the value of your currency should also develop accordingly."

, otherwise you will not be worthy of your status as a powerful country!"

Then I mumbled "Wow, wow, wow" in a daze.

As professional officials in charge of currency, finance, etc., how could they not see how dirty and shabby it is behind the colorful appearance!

But, can they refuse?

Just like Li Hongzhang could refuse to sign those treaties, can they refuse?!

Back then, the artillery of the Eight-Power Allied Forces was pushed under the Forbidden City; now, the figure of the US military is wandering around the entrance to the Japanese Imperial Palace from time to time.

However, it’s not your turn to care about these things!

"We're here! Let's get off the car!"

In order to make it easier for them to escape directly after a sneak attack in case they meet the real owner, Carter and his party did not take a bus. They took the Tokyo Metro to Kasumigaseki Subway Station. As soon as they left the station, Carter was on the road in front of the subway station.

On the side, I saw a map sign with a tree.

The sign clearly reads "Kasumigaseki Central Government Office" in large characters. On the map on the sign, the locations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Finance are clearly marked.

Clearly!

Are you afraid that some "divine winds" will get lost here?!

Just. Ridiculous!

"Don't look, we all know the road! Carter, look, this is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the red brick house opposite is the Ministry of Justice! This building of the Ministry of Justice was built during the Meiji Restoration, although the one in front of you was renovated

Yes, but the architectural style has been retained. It should look familiar to you, right?"

"Of course! Not only does it look familiar, but I'm almost tired of seeing it! Over in Connecticut, New England, the most indispensable thing is this kind of red brick building."

"Let's go in and take a look! In the courtyard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you need a staff certificate to enter, but there is an information exhibition hall open to the public in the Ministry of Justice. It mainly introduces some of the history of the evolution of our Japanese judiciary. So ordinary people in the Ministry of Justice can also

You can enter the courtyard and the lobby on the first floor!”

Michio Yasuda shrugged, knowing that Carter had no interest in the building itself:

"You can see the Metropolitan Police Headquarters in the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice, so we don't have to run there anymore! The time saved this way, I can take you to Hie Shrine later, which is the Prime Minister's official residence.

"

Yasuda Michio smiled. He understood why Carter was surprised:

"Hahaha, what a coincidence! If it were the compound where the Ministry of Finance is located, it would indeed be a bit troublesome. But the Ministry of International Trade and Industry"

"Not to mention the functional positioning of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, it is allowed to relatively close itself. Anyway, there are three buildings in the yard where the Ministry of International Trade and Industry's official office is located!"

For the first time, Carter and others were stopped by the police.

It's just that the attitude of asking questions is just a joke to watch the fun.

"He is an American, and this is his first time in Japan. We will take him around to visit! It should be easy to go up now, right?"

The group stopped in front of a steep slope of about 40 degrees.

"They are the General Administration of Trade and Industry, the General Administration of Trade and Industry Annex, and Japan Post!"

"I have a question. I just looked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The courtyard requires a certificate from the staff before entering. Over at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. If we can't enter the courtyard, when he comes out, do we have to smash the eggs?

To the car?"

"Yes, it's right here! Come on, the road on the right is the way to the Prime Minister's Residence, and the left is to the shrine."

Carter silently gave a thumbs up.

Good guy.

By building the Prime Minister's official residence inside a shrine, does this mean he is engaging in the divine right of kings?

Wait, where is the Emperor?!

Carter was a little confused. These people were doing this, and they didn't take the emperor seriously.

As he was thinking wildly in his mind, Carter's eyes were looking around:

"With Japan Post in that yard, are you still worried that we can't walk in openly?!"

When a simple wooden shelf suddenly appeared between two modern high-rise buildings on the street, Furukawa Murano's voice sounded:

"This is the torii gate of our Japanese shrine. In our belief, the front and back of the torii gate are the separation points between the human world and the divine world."

"Isn't that what it is? It's not just like this here in Kasumigaseki, but also in Nagata Town where the Prime Minister's official residence is located, and in Akasaka in Minato Ward where the parliamentarians' dormitories are located. Judging from the total number, there are a lot of police officers. Walking in these places, it can be said that,

You can see the police every time you turn a corner. But on average, the number of police officers assigned to each government office is usually in the single digits. At least that's how it is on the surface!"

There was a gear lever blocking the road on the steep slope. But there was an opening on the sidewalk, and a policeman on duty stood next to the opening.

"Hey! Guys, what country is he from?"

"Didn't you say we would visit near the Prime Minister's official residence? Could it be that the Prime Minister's official residence is inside this shrine?"

After entering the grounds of the Ministry of Justice and taking a quick tour, on the way to the next destination on foot, Carter walked close to Michio Yasuda and whispered:

"The security here has always been so casual. Is it casual? There are only three or four policemen at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And those policemen look like police officers in their clothes, but in terms of their behavior, they are just security guards!"

Carter has become accustomed to it now.

No matter how outrageous the Japanese are, he will not be surprised!

"Hie Shrine, here it is!"

"If not for that, I wouldn't have thought of waiting for the Minister of Finance, ah, no, the Minister of International Trade and Industry to break eggs when he gets off work!"

Michio Yasuda raised three fingers:

"Okay, I'll just listen to your arrangements!"

There was no trace of the police at the entrance of the shrine; now walking along the tree-lined paths inside the shrine, no police patrols were seen. Instead, there were some passers-by or tourists, and Carter and his party saw a lot of them.

"Turn right here! Go up this slope and you'll find the Prime Minister's official residence! Let's walk from the side!"

"Very good! Very powerful!"

"It's convenient. There haven't been any big events recently, and there are no important foreign guests coming over who need to close the road. Look, they just walk there casually! You can just go up! Besides,"

The policeman looked at Carter with a smile and said in a very friendly tone:

"e to Japan!"

I didn’t understand the previous Japanese, but this sentence

While politely thanking you, you walked up the steep slope to the Prime Minister's official residence.

Rao had already been numbed by Japan's series of operations, and Carter couldn't help but feel a little confused at this time.

The security personnel outside the dignified Prime Minister's official residence, unexpectedly.

That’s it? That’s it?!

How the hell did you get trained?!

This puts us "those with ulterior motives" in the mix?!

Damn it, Abe seems to be so unreasonable in the future?! With such security personnel and such a security arrangement, it seems that nothing can happen, and it is purely dependent on the blessing of Amaterasu.
Chapter completed!
