So Suga wants to import large quantities of agricultural products, even at the expense of gold reserves. But the problem is that they can't buy them. Those who have rice are afraid to sell due to US threats (South Asia and Southeast Asia), and those who do sell have no surplus (China and the Soviet Union).

 Some people may wonder, since the United States has been robbed, why no country dares to ignore the threat from the United States and sell rice?

 The United States not only has military hegemony, but also economic hegemony. Even if its military is busy fighting wars on its home turf and can't go over to kill you, it can still wield financial power to reap the spoils of your army.

 Secondly, the United States has become the world's sole superpower since the end of World War II and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Its formidable national strength, coupled with dazzling cultural propaganda, has left a deep impression on the people of many Second and Third World countries.

 Third, it's easy to cut the braids on your head, but it's hard to cut the braids in your heart. Even China has a lot of people who like to praise the United States every day, let alone other countries?

 Unable to buy food, Suga Yoshihide had to send violent police to stop the people from grabbing rice in order to prevent the radical right from taking too much offense against him.

 He also specifically instructed the police in various places to try not to go too far when blocking the people. At the same time, Suga Yoshihide also ordered the Self-Defense Forces to provide military rations to help the people.

 However, it is precisely this choice that has caused the right-wing radicals who advocate active suppression to criticize Suga Yoshihide. Kishida Fumio is hoping to use the rice rush and Abe's death to rally the radical right to attack Suga Yoshihide and force him to resign.

 This would trigger a re-election for the LDP president, and Kishida Fumio was confident that, given the current situation, he would definitely win the election.

 The next day, Eve watched the increasingly intense rice-grabbing craze in Japan and the assassination of Abe gradually ferment. She was not surprised, but just complained that such things came too early - the Japanese Communist Party was still not ready for revolution.

 Eve currently holds in her hands a report on violent incidents and the dirty laundry between the Japanese government and Takeda Pharmaceutical. She has calculated that this report is likely enough to cause the Japanese government to launch a massacre against left-wing groups.

 "That being said, has there ever been a revolution in history that only started or broke out when everything was perfectly prepared? Perhaps the Japanese Communist Party, and even the entire Japanese left, truly needs a crisis to unite, grow, and be tempered."

 Eve changed her mind and decided to strike while the iron was hot and publish the report she had already written, further increasing the people's anger towards the Japanese government and the Japanese government's anger and humiliation.

 When carrying out a revolution, the thing we fear least is the intensification of social contradictions. However, this is only a means of revolution, not its goal.

 So Eve found Yumeimimaru Fumi and asked him to publish "The Truth about the Suga Yoshihide Government and the Violence" which she wrote using fragmentary clues and perfect fictional reasoning.

 It just so happened that Reimu Marufumi was not very happy with the Japanese government. In addition, Eve escorted Hibiki Yuri, Reimu Marufumi's love rival, back to Japan and protected her. Out of gratitude, Reimu Marufumi agreed to Eve's request.

 Yumeiwan read Eve's report and commented on it from an insider's perspective. Then, using his experience as a journalist since the Meiji era, he made some minor revisions to Eve's article to make it more perfect.

 When Yumei Marufumi finished revising the report and handed it to Eve, he didn't forget to boast: "When it comes to matters involving major social changes, you can always trust the honest and upright Yumei Marufumi."

 After the article was published, just as Eve had expected, the report was like water in a frying pan, causing a huge response among the Japanese people, and even within the Japanese government, there were whispers and discussions.

 Now it's not just Toyama Prefecture that's bustling, the whole of Japan is bustling. People are taking to the streets to demand explanations from the government, and a large number of people are having physical conflicts with the police.

 The rice-grabbing craze and a new round of nationwide demonstrations and marches merged into one. The demonstrators grabbed rice to support the food needs of the march, and used demonstrations and marches to force the government to lower rice prices or open warehouses to release grain.

 On the other hand, the radical right wing in Japan was delighted after reading Eve's report, because they had finally found a way to get Yoshihide Suga out of office.

 Under the intense anger of people outside the party and the pressure of the radical right within the party, Suga Yoshihide tried to seek help from No. 690 Shenhai, but during his conversation with No. 690, he found that he seemed to be abandoned by Shenhai and was forced to resign.

 After Yoshihide Suga resigned, the Liberal Democratic Party quickly launched the party president election. After a day of election, Fumio Kishida became the new president of the Liberal Democratic Party.

 On his first day as Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida immediately cracked down on the rice rush and other demonstrations, and stopped the Self-Defense Forces from using military rations to provide relief to the people.

 Kishida believes that even if the Self-Defense Forces had a lot of food, it would be a drop in the bucket when thrown into Japan's total population of 1.2 million. Once the food is distributed, the remaining people who cannot eat will still cause unrest.

 If a riot breaks out, the Self-Defense Forces and the police will not only be unable to effectively suppress the people's unrest due to lack of food, but they may even turn their guns against themselves because they have no food to eat.

 In addition to stopping food aid, the Kishida Fumio government also launched a major crackdown on left-wing and left-wing forces throughout Japan.

 The growth of the communist revolutionaries has alarmed Japan's radical right.

 Although Eve and the white-haired dumplings have been protecting the Japanese revolutionaries through intelligence, due to the limited number of the white-haired dumplings and the fact that a big tree will inevitably attract the wind, and there is no wall that is impenetrable, the rise of the revolutionaries still attracted the attention and high vigilance of the Japanese government.

 Japan's radical right believes that if a social democratic communist party like the Japanese Communist Party can "revive" the revolutionary forces, then not to mention other left-wing organizations.

 After all, there was the Fukushima uprising two years ago...

 "It's only been a few years since the Fukushima incident. Have you forgotten the tragic fall of Fukushima City and the ugly faces of those vicious armed citizens?!" - A Japanese far-right parliamentarian.

 For Japan's radical right, the ordinary citizens of Fukushima are so martial, who knows what even more groundbreaking things the Japanese Communist Party revolutionaries can do?

 This is also the reason why Japan's radical right launched a major purge of left-wing and left-wing political parties and organizations across the country, especially the revolutionary forces.

 Since then, ever since the Japanese Communist Party was expelled from the parliament by an anti-communist bill passed by the parliament controlled by the Liberal Democratic Party and by a decree issued by Fumio Kishida, shrill sirens can be heard every day across Japan, and left-wing and leftist figures are broken into or arrested by the police every day.

 Faced with the radical right-wing government's large-scale distribution of handcuffs and display of butcher knives, many social activists, theorists and ordinary members of the Japanese Communist Party were imprisoned and placed under close surveillance.

 At this moment, the survival of all socialist revolutionary forces in Japan, and even the future of the Japanese working people and revolution, has come to a crossroads.

 Chapter 266 Tonight is a revolutionary communist (1)

 A few days later, the white terror against the left and leftists in Japan became more rampant. Not only were leftists arrested on a large scale, but the Japanese Communist Party’s official newspaper, Akahata, was also unreasonably closed down by the authorities.

 At this critical moment, differences within the Japanese Communist Party regarding the current situation and the direction of the party's development intensified. Both local party organizations and the central committee felt that a meeting was necessary to determine the next steps.

 However, white terror is prevalent outside now, and it is difficult to hold offline meetings. The Japanese Communist Party decided to hold the meeting online.

 Some might ask, isn't online even less safe? The government's cyber police can easily track people down online and then arrest them offline.

 Normally, this would be the case, but Eve's presence made this operation extremely difficult.

 Previously, Eve proposed to the Japanese Communist Party that an intelligence department be established to protect the party’s information and other aspects of security in order to defend against the bourgeois government’s tricks.

 Some voices within the Party believe that in order to fight for the welfare of working people, we should persist in open struggle and stay away from things like espionage and intelligence that are ambiguous and in the gray area.

 Eve immediately wrote a short article to refute this erroneous idea: "...it doesn't matter if Communists don't use dirty tricks in the course of struggle, but they must never be without the ability to defend against them.

 Otherwise, the entire Party will be fooled by the bourgeois intelligence agencies without even realizing it... In a word, open struggle must be combined with covert struggle; only then can it be considered completely effective."

 At the same time, Eve also demonstrated that in today's information age, ordinary netizens are equivalent to running naked on the Internet, and the security of their personal information is completely gone.

 It's fine in normal times, but once confidential party affairs are involved, we are like playing poker with open cards in front of the bourgeoisie, which is quite dangerous.

 After several rounds of discussions, more than half of the members of the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party accepted Eve's opinion and established intelligence departments at all levels of the Japanese Communist Party.

 Afterwards, Eve asked the white-haired guys to rely on their own abilities to squeeze into the lower-level intelligence department while the new organization was just established and the demand for relevant talents was not so high.

 However, in this world, Eve was careful and let the white-haired balls communicate with humans in ordinary disguises, instead of doing things with white hair, red eyes and stunning looks, so as not to attract unnecessary attention.

 Compared with humans, the white-haired girls' extraordinary intelligence and information technology capabilities quickly made them stand out in the intelligence departments of all levels of the Japanese Communist Party.

 This is the confidence that the Japanese Communist Party has in holding online meetings at a critical moment.

 The white-haired dumpling, who has entered the Japanese Communist Party's Central Intelligence Department, uses his powerful information technology capabilities to escort the online meetings of the Central Committee members.

 Thanks to the white-haired dumplings, the online meeting went smoothly as scheduled, and nearly 100 members of the Central Committee gathered online as scheduled.

 At the meeting, a committee member solemnly expressed his opinion to all present: "If the Kishida government continues in this way, our cause will be ruined, and the Japanese Communist Party will be plunged into another cold winter! We must confront Kishida Fumio and lodge the most solemn protest!"

 Then, another committee member shouted angrily, "We need to write an article to expose Kishida's damn true face!"

 Of course, there were also some peacemakers who tried to calm everyone down: "The situation in Japan right now is already brewing. But no matter what, there must be a sequence for expressing opinions. Let's first listen to the opinions of Comrade Kazuo Shii."

 If this were an online meeting, there would definitely be applause now, followed by Shii Kazuo standing up and bowing.

 Shiwei and Fu opened the voice chat and

 After expressing his gratitude, the person involved said with melancholy, "The people's power that has been gathered for decades has been arrested by the Kishida Fumio government in just a few days. As the Chairman of the Central Committee, I am deeply saddened. Our existence is completely legal..."

 Before Shii Kazuo could finish, Koike Akira of the Central Secretariat interrupted, "Legality is legality, but what we're doing now doesn't even remotely resemble legality. We must find a way to fight the right-wing elements."

 Shii Kazuo took over and continued, "Struggle is necessary, but how you fight is important. A head-on confrontation is inherently disadvantageous."

 He paused, then continued, "Although allowing the Kishida government to kill people is not acceptable. There is only one way—we must persist in peaceful and legal struggle, and under the current circumstances, we must not allow the government to exploit this issue."

 "Peaceful struggle?" The minority revolutionaries in the Central Committee found it unbelievable, and the channel suddenly became noisy.

 The centrists seemed relatively calm, but many of them had frowns on their faces. They probably also had different opinions on Shii Kazuo's statement, but not as strong as the revolutionaries.

 "Quiet, quiet!" Shii Kazuo tried to maintain order, explaining, "Didn't I tell you? If we don't persist in peaceful struggle during this special period, the government will only find excuses to be even harsher on us!"

 "If we insist on peaceful and legal struggle, will the government not take drastic measures against us?" A revolutionary committee member present firmly opposed Shii Kazuo's remarks.

 Then a centrist committee member sympathetic to the revolutionaries offered assistance: "Dear Comrade Chairman Shiwei, please take a look at those ordinary party members and leading cadres who have been arrested. Many of them are engaging in legal struggles, but what is the result? Handcuffs, shackles, and prison."

 "But as far as I know, among the arrested party members, there are those who advocated for violent revolution... Moreover, some comrades are suspected of illegal gun trading. As long as you hand over the guns, the Kishida government will naturally not make things difficult for us without any evidence," said Kazuo Shii.

 A more educated revolutionary couldn't help but speak up to refute Shii Kazuo's right-wing opportunist ideas.

 "If that's the case, then how do you explain the imprisonment of tens of thousands of Party members who haven't violated any law? It can't be a miscarriage of justice, right?

 Second, what's wrong with advocating for violent revolution? Violent revolution is the core of Marxism! Which existing socialist regime was not achieved through violent revolution?

 Third, Comrade Chairman, do you know this? Ancient Chinese dynasties refrained from executing officials who spoke out, with the Ming Dynasty being the most extreme. Yet, the Japanese government, which prides itself on being a modern democracy, is slaughtering citizens who voice their opinions. Isn't this worse than a feudal court?

 Fourth, you keep promoting legality. But whose laws are you referring to? The laws of the working people? Or the laws of the chaebol bureaucrats? You're probably aware that laws are distinctly class-based.

 Fifth, regarding the gun issue, I admit that some within the Party do possess guns and explosives. However, there is a saying that goes, "If you want to accuse someone, you will find a pretext."

 Even if we surrender our weapons, does that guarantee the government will stop harassing us? If this proposition is true, then please explain the first point I just made—why are tens of thousands of Party members with no criminal records being thrown into prison?!"

 Shii Kazuo felt a bit embarrassed by the rebuttal. He gathered his words and said, "Why did I ask some comrades to hand in their guns? Isn't it for your own good? The consequences of being found by the police when you have a gun and when you don't have a gun are very different.

 I understand what a few comrades want to do, but even if the guns you have are good enough to take down the police, can they penetrate the Self-Defense Forces' armored vehicles and tanks? Since you only have a few guns, why not hand them all over? "

 "If we hand over our guns, we will become sheep. Whoever wants to kill us can do so!" The revolutionary committee member continued to confront.

 "If we don't surrender our guns, we will follow in the footsteps of the Red Army and be labeled a terrorist organization by the government!" Shii Kazuo warned.

 "The Red Army did commit terrorist acts and became corrupt long ago. They deserved what they got. But we don't have any. If having guns makes us terrorists, then the Bolsheviks and the Communists are also terrorists?"

 ……

 The committee members were arguing endlessly. Half an hour later, Shiwei Kazuo received an incoming call on his cell phone. The caller ID showed that it was an urgent call.

 "Comrades, I have an urgent call here, so let's adjourn for now." After saying that, Shii Kazuo answered the phone.

 The call lasted only a minute, but the news it brought made Shiwei Kazuo sob softly.

 Because of Shii and Fubo Kanmugi, his sobs were clearly heard by all the participants.

 Out of basic courtesy, even the revolutionary committee members who had just confronted Shii Kazuo asked Shii Kazuo what had happened with concern.

 Shii Kazuo slowly took off his glasses in grief and sat at his table, weeping uncontrollably. "Comrade Fuwa Tetsuzo... was beaten by the police with clubs during the arrest... and died."

 Tetsuzo Fuwa, born on January 26, 1930 in Tokyo, was born Kenjiro Ueda. He was one of the main leaders of the Japanese Communist Party and a political activist and theorist with great influence within the party. He retired in 2006 and was Kazuo Shii's predecessor.

 After the news was made public, everyone present was filled with grief and indignation. They were extremely angry at the Japanese police for persecuting the veteran revolutionaries who had been through a lot.

 Everyone stood up and observed a moment of silence to express their regret for their comrades and their anger at the reactionary government. As soon as the moment of silence ended, another revolutionary representative suppressed her grief and slammed the table with her bandaged right hand to protest.

 In other words:

 "No matter what, we cannot surrender a single gun! If we surrender our guns, the fate of us Communists will be the same as that of Comrade Fuwa Tetsuzo!"

 A member of the Standing Committee frowned and asked, "Comrade, what is your name? Where do you represent?"

 "Ibaraki Hanafugi, representative of Fukushima Prefecture."

 "Comrade Ibaraki, it's not yet the Fukushima Prefecture representative's turn to speak!"

 Ibaraki Hanafu ignored the Standing Committee's accusations and said to everyone, "Is the Kishida government reliable? If they were reliable, would they arrest so many innocent party members as trumped-up criminals? They are unreliable! If we surrender our weapons now, we will die! Now we only have one way to go..."

 "Armed struggle!" shouted another revolutionary.

 Although Ibaraki Hanasu didn't click on the profile picture to check the personal information of the person who interrupted her, her eyes were full of affirmation, which had already told others her attitude towards the person who interrupted her.

 The Yokosuka representative also supported this, saying, "Yes, Comrade Ibaraki is right! Since the time of Miyamoto Kenji, we have only used the pen, not the gun. In the end, all we have faced are unwarranted crackdowns and mass arrests! How can we not resist?!"

 "Comrades, this is my attitude. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun!" Ibaraki Hana slammed his fan loudly.

 A standing committee member, sweat dripping from his forehead, demanded, "You keep shouting 'revolution, revolution, revolution'. But can your guns outperform the Self-Defense Forces or the special police? Weren't the thousands of Fukushima civilian militia and Self-Defense Force members defeated by the Self-Defense Forces two years ago? You're simply overestimating your own capabilities!"

 "Given the current state of our power, it's certainly difficult. But what if I say our party has the support of the shipgirls?" The Yokosuka representative threw out a question, then said in a thunderous voice:

 "The combat effectiveness of the Shipgirls has surely been clearly demonstrated during the current Russian Civil War, right? The Soviet Union, relying on less than a platoon of Shipgirls, was able to hold off the White Army's offensive and even push back, even with only half the number of troops.

 We in Japan have hundreds of shipgirls. If we start a war, why should we be afraid of the Self-Defense Forces?! Just charge! Break into Tokyo and capture Kishida alive!

 Then, tonight, we will all be revolutionary Communists!"

 Chapter 267 Tonight is a revolutionary communist (2)

 The pacifist group strongly disagreed with the Yokosuka representatives' statement, vigorously retorting: "We are the Communist Party! We are for the benefit of the people! How dare you allow the thugs of militarism and fascism to support you?! Do some of these comrades have any sense of the spirit of a pacifist constitution?!"
