On July 8, 2022, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in Nara City, Japan. He was 67 years old.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida flew back to Tokyo at an unprecedented speed. The first thing he did after getting off the plane from Haneda Airport was to hold a press conference quickly. No one had seen Fumio Kishida sweating like this.
This is definitely a magnitude 10 earthquake in Japanese politics. Although Shinzo Abe is disliked by the people of our country, he is definitely a "thousand-year-old monster" deeply rooted in Japanese politics. When he leaves, Defense Minister Yuriko Koike cried, Japan Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno Hiroshi also cried.
There is one piece of news that seems to attract special attention, that is, the most powerful woman in Japan, who is Shinzo Abe’s wife Akie Abe , has arrived in Nara at 16:30 local time.
Akie Abe is known as "the worst first lady in Japan's history", but as long as you are a politician, you know that she may inherit most of Shinzo Abe's political resources , she is a "terrible" woman.
1. Don’t marry her except her
The Japanese really don’t like Abe Akie, the wife of Shinzo Abe.
She loves to drink, is very bohemian, and extremely playful, but this is not the reason why Japanese people hate her.
She once turned a kindergarten into a concentration camp, brainwashing the children in this school called Moritomo Academy and making them swear to "always follow His Excellency Shinzo Abe." This directly made the Japanese people angry - Could it be that Abe Does Shinzo want to become Hitler ?
Shinzo Abe will never become Hitler, but the legend of Akie Abe still exists in the world.
Anyone who is familiar with Japanese politics knows that Abe Shinmori and Abe Akie are actually a purely political marriage, a cliché story of a son from a political family marrying a business tycoon princess. However, the encounter between these two people is quite romantic.
The two of them met through the introduction of a friend. At that time, Shinzo Abe was already a well-known rising star in Japanese politics. He was a relatively young man with a bright future and an unimaginable political talent.
But Abe Akie, oh, at that time, her name was Matsuzaki Akie and she was still working at a radio station. She was eight years younger than Abe, but Abe Akie had the noble and virtuous temperament unique to a wealthy family.
Soon, the two people began to fall in love. At that time, Abe Akie also hesitated. Her family would allow her to live without worries forever. Marrying Shinzo Abe would mean getting involved in the muddy waters of politics.
However, at that time, Shinzo Abe was really a top-notch talent. He was also a "top student" at the University of Southern California in the United States. He also had an amazing family background, so he was really the best choice.
In the end, it was Abe Akie's old father who made the decision. Matsuzaki Akio, the boss of the Morinaga Group who has been in the business world for many years, knew very well the huge value of this marriage. Moreover, at that time, Abe 's family came to propose marriage, so Matsuzaki Akio All kinds of characters have some pressure.
Morinaga Group is Japan's largest candy and chocolate manufacturer and one of Japan's largest businessmen. However, the man who came to propose marriage at that time was named Takeo Fukuda, the 67th Prime Minister of Japan.
Seeing that the Abe family was giving such face, Abe Akie successfully married into the Abe family.
People don’t know that in fact, Shinzo Abe’s father Shintaro Abe was very opposed to his son Shinzo Abe’s girlfriend. He felt that in order for a political family to maintain its political advantage, it must find someone who is also from a political family. A lady is a wife.
Therefore, in the eyes of old Abe, marrying the daughter of a big businessman is simply a deviant move.
In fact, this is really the case. Don’t look at Abe’s ability to have both sides when he was in office. He can be called the balance hand of East Asia and the paper framer of Japan. However, he was rebellious when he was young. He showed a stubbornness that is completely inconsistent with politicians. That is for sure. I want to marry this woman.
After the drama of confrontation between father and son was staged many times, the old father Shintaro Abe finally gave in. In 1987, Shinzo Abe and Akie Abe finally got married after two years of love.
At this time, Abe still doesn’t know what he will pay for this marriage in the future, and what kind of trouble the girl he married will make in the future.
2. Lucky Shinzo Abe
Shintaro Abe has always believed that the Matsuzaki family may not be able to help Shinzo Abe politically. This time he was really wrong.
Shinzo Abe’s mother is not an ordinary person. This mother named Abe Yoko ’s lifelong dream is to become the wife of the prime minister. Although her husband Shintaro Abe is always short of breath when finishing her job, this experience also makes her Yoko Abe has accumulated sufficient skills and qualifications.
When Akie Abe married Shinzo Abe at the age of 25, she began to undergo some kind of "special training". She began to be taught by Abe Yoko how to be a good housekeeper. This mother-in-law was like the most severe teacher. Same, train her like crazy.
In 1993, the second year after the death of Shintaro Abe, young Shinzo Abe came to the people. This was Shinzo Abe preparing to run for parliament. Abe Akie, the wife of Shinzo Abe, also came into front of people for the first time.
Everyone could see that the eldest princess of the Morinaga Group was very embarrassed. After she came on stage, she was nervous and didn't know what to do. She held a microphone in her hand and burst into tears.
But it may be that the "teaching" of her mother-in-law is really powerful. In this very "real" state, Abe Akie told her love story with Shinzo Abe.
People saw that the feelings expressed by this woman were extremely sincere, very down-to-earth, and close to the people's psychology, so voters began to vote for Shinzo Abe.
The Japanese people still don’t know whether it was Abe Akie’s acting skills that made the wily Shinzo Abe elected to the House of Representatives, or whether it was Abe Akie’s unattractive performance that caused Abe to slip up.
In short, Shinzo Abe’s career took off from then on, and Abe Akie’s natal Morinaga Group actually provided strong financial support to Shinzo Abe, which not only gave Shinzo Abe ample cash flow , but also contributed money and efforts. , various resources from the business community began to be introduced to Shinzo Abe.
In a matter of seconds, Abe actually succeeded in becoming the most successful prime minister in Japan's history. When he took office, he really set a good example. His biggest political stance is that he has no political stance at all. When
first came to power, he was forced out of office because he was pro-China. After that, Shinzo Abe, who could not be beaten to death, actually became more and more tactful. Playing Japanese sumo , accidentally played the longest term of prime minister in Japanese history.
I have one thing to say. Although Abe is hateful, he will not be able to survive in Japanese politics without any skills. Among those who engage in politics in Japan, he is the best at overcoming obstacles. He knows how to make peace with others, so some people say that he is the most powerful suture monster in Japanese politics.
But as he grows older, this "stitch monster" seems to have one of his biggest weaknesses, and that is his wife.
The woman who shrank back after taking office disappeared, and was replaced by a woman who "jumped away". The things she did made people think that she was "Shinzo Abe's biggest political enemy."
3. Abe Akie lets herself go
After Abe Akie became the official wife of the prime minister, she seemed to really let herself go, and became a weirdo and anomaly in the Japanese political arena.
The first point is that she and Abe have been married for so many years, but they have never given Abe a child. At the beginning, it was not a big deal that Abe Akie was not pregnant.
But there was no one for a year, and then there was no one again, which made the people of Abe family anxious. What would happen if the inheritance of such a large family is broken?
But Abe Akie didn't care. Even when reporters kept asking this question in the future, Abe Akie always said it was my own problem.
No one knows what the truth is, but the friction between Akie Abe and Abe’s mother Yoko Abe is getting bigger and bigger. Once she even directly said: There are four people in our family, Abe and I, and an old woman. People and a dog.
This "old woman" naturally refers to Yoko Abe. Shinzo Abe really can't behave in this situation.
Abe Akie has done more than that. Her status is comparable to the "Mother of the Nation", but she does not shy away from saying that she likes Korean stars. Even when conflicts broke out between Japan and South Korea, Abe Akie served as the first Madam, even expressed directly in front of the media that she loves Korean culture and Korean male stars.
This made the Japanese people very angry, but Abe Akie has never taken back what she said. She also said that she must visit South Korea if she has the opportunity in the future, hoping to visit her beloved idol.
These words directly caused an uproar, and the people began to become increasingly dissatisfied with Abe Akie.
The Japanese people’s dissatisfaction with Abe Akie is diverse. There is also a group of people who criticize Abe Akie because of his alcoholism.
She really likes drinking, and she even drunkenly admitted that her greatest pleasure is drinking. Abe Akie not only drinks, but also has a huge amount of alcohol, and she is invincible when competing with her sisters.
Of course, because of her husband, no one in Japan would dare to compete with her in drinking.
Drinking is originally a private matter. No one cares about how you drink at home, and there will be no gossip. People never expected that Abe Akie might feel that she was not having fun at home, so she went directly to the busiest street in Tokyo. Opened a tavern.
She often uses her status as First Lady to drink in her own pub until she forgets to leave. I don’t know how many Japanese media photographed her losing her temper in the pub, as if she was so drunk that she couldn’t find her home.
Some Japanese media even photographed her kissing the Japanese composer Hotei Toyasu after drinking too much. At that time, Abe Akie put her arms around Hotei Toyasu's neck, then leaned her head on his shoulder, and kissed her neck. They kissed each other without caring about the eyes of others.
Such a disgraceful image has made Abe Akie unknowingly criticized. Even during the epidemic, First Lady Abe Akie ignored the government epidemic orders issued by her husband personally, actually went out to enjoy the flowers with Xiao Xianrou. Drink and be happy.
Shinzo Abe may be really numb. There is nothing he can do when he encounters such a wife. Who makes this woman his "most powerful political opponent"?
When the epidemic in Japan was at its worst, Abe Akie and a dozen of her friends drank wine, admired the cherry blossoms in an extremely expensive high-end restaurant in Tokyo, and kept having parties.
These dozen or so people are all well-known people, most of them are stars and Internet celebrities in the entertainment industry, including male singer Yuya Tegoshi, supermodel Rina Fujii, etc.
However, none of these people together are as famous as Abe Akie. They were extremely happy at the time and even took photos happily. Abe Akie couldn't help smiling. It seemed that these people had never taken the government's ban seriously.
Shinzo Abe still had to save the face of his family. When a member of parliament asked Shinzo Abe whether he was only allowed to set fires by state officials and not allow people to light lamps, he stumbled and replied that this was a gathering of his wife and friends in a private place, and Not admiring cherry blossoms in the park.
Shinzo Abe feels bitter, but he still has to protect his wife.
Therefore, there are rumors that Shinzo Abe is infertile, which caused Shinzo Abe to feel that he owed Akie Abe. Now it seems that this is one of the possibilities.
4. Almost ruined Abe’s future
If Abe Akie is just like this, she is actually a woman with careful thoughts and some ambitions. In the many years that Shinzo Abe has been in power, this has been the biggest scandal in his career.” The "Moritomo Academy Incident" was almost orchestrated by his wife.
This incident almost made Shinzo Abe doomed.
The "Moritomo Gakuen Incident" attracted people's attention when it first started. It was in 2017 when Shinzo Abe's "rival" " Asahi Shimbun " suddenly broke the news that there was a construction land in Toyonaka City, Osaka, Japan. was later sold by the government to a private school called "Moritomo Academy" at a low price of 20% off.
This is a bit interesting, because Osaka Conservatory of Music once wanted to spend 700 million yen to purchase it, but was rejected because the bid was too low. So why did Moritomo Academy agree with only 134 million yen?
People don’t know how Japan’s Ministry of Finance approved this purchase application. People just think that the water inside is too deep.
This is not the most explosive thing. What is shocking is that at that time, this academy actually began to spread hateful speeches and unsightly militaristic ideas against China and South Korea.
By this time, people already felt that something was not right. What was this academy going to do? Could it be that they wanted to bring back the militaristic Japan of the past?
One interesting thing about this is that this school was originally planned to be named "Shinzo Abe Memorial Elementary School". People really don't know why Abe is commemorating him before he has passed away. Now this name seems to be used.
Getting back to the topic, netizens were shocked to find that the honorary principal of this academy is actually Akie Abe. Now people can understand why this academy can purchase this land at such a cheap price.
The black material doesn’t stop there. According to reports, Abe Akie secretly gave an envelope containing 1 million yen to the chairman of Moritomo Academy, Goike Yasunori .
This is a donation to the school in the name of Shinzo Abe, and he is asked to keep it confidential.
This incident was so exciting that Shinzo Abe was finally forced to swear in Congress, even saying that what his wife did had nothing to do with him, and that he had no idea about his donation.
While the situation was noisy, Shinzo Abe used all his life's wisdom, connections, and money to begin to deal with the impact of this incident.
But Abe Akie behind Moritomo Academy seems to have surfaced. People don’t know what the purpose of establishing this academy is. Is Abe Akie really plotting to recreate the glory of the "Empire of Japan"? ?
Otherwise, why would Abe Akie let kindergarten children say, "For Japan and the Japanese people, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is at the forefront, and Mrs. Abe Akie who gives unlimited support to the Prime Minister, Thank you very much! Although there will be Foreign artillery shells are coming, but we will definitely defend Japan! Come on, madam!”
Any parent will feel scared after hearing this, because people can’t imagine what terrible things their children will be educated into. look.
This also casts a shadow on Abe Akie as a "conspirator". She does not seem to be that simple.
Therefore, when Shinzo Abe was assassinated today, when Akie Abe appeared in Nara City , the eyes of politicians were staring at her.
To some extent, she may really be able to determine the future direction of Japan.
