Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Since they decided to save themselves and sacrifice others, Hayashi Ryuji, Tanimura Hiroaki, and Kumagai Doku began to compile materials according to the instructions of the Americans! Toshiba's senior management must be involved, and everything is done according to orders; otherwise their crimes will not be light!

For the Americans, if they want to gain greater benefits, the higher the status of the Japanese involved, the better; of course, they cannot do things to the extreme; just like World War II, the royal family cannot be involved!

After the end of World War II, Hirohito had a secret meeting with MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces. Hirohito took the initiative to admit all his crimes, and this sincere confession won MacArthur's favor. In addition, Hirohito personally visited MacArthur, further demonstrating his sincerity and remorse.

The Japanese people regard the emperor as a god, and abolishing the emperor system may cause widespread unrest and public resentment. In order to avoid this situation, the United States decided to retain the emperor system to use the emperor as a resource for Japan's reconstruction. Retaining the emperor system can avoid social unrest and is conducive to post-war stability and reconstruction.

The emperor has symbolic significance in Japanese history. He is considered to be a descendant of Amaterasu and has "divinity". The emperor system was able to avoid wars in ancient Japan and make the royal family live longer, so it has a special status in the hearts of the Japanese people. Preserving the emperor system can maintain social stability and the psychological comfort of the people.

After the war, Hirohito issued the "Human Declaration"; he declared that he was not a god but a man, and self-denied his divine power. This reform measure shows that the emperor is willing to give up some privileges and actively participate in the construction of a democratic country. This reform measure was also recognized and supported by MacArthur.

Export control of machine tools to the Soviet Union is definitely not as serious as launching World War II; therefore, not only members of the royal family, but also the prime minister and important political figures cannot be implicated. If Japan is really to be wiped out, it will inevitably turn to the Soviet Union; even a strong country like the United States cannot bear it!

Reitz had already thought about it before, only Toshiba; of course, he could also take the opportunity to knock other companies. In recent years, Japanese companies have conquered cities all over the world, which is very beautiful; it's their time to be unlucky!

When the US Ambassador to Japan, Mondale, saw the documents sent by Reiss, he was very upset; he didn't expect that the Japanese would dare to stab the United States, which was extremely hateful!

Mondale said with hatred: "We have received instructions from the White House, and the embassy will cooperate with the CIA next!"

When it comes to the Soviet Union, the US Embassy in Japan cannot take the dominant position; cooperating well with the CIA is the most correct choice!

Reiss said very seriously: "All the sorted information will be handed over to the Japanese Foreign Minister; as for the three Japanese currently captured, I will also take the initiative to release them; let's see what the Japanese will do next!"

The so-called release is just to change the place of detention; being targeted by the US CIA, ordinary people have no way to get away.

Besides, they can run, what about their families; people, especially men, must not be too selfish!

Michio Watanabe; born in Narashino City, Chiba Prefecture, graduated from Tokyo University of Commerce. Member of the House of Representatives of Japan, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party faction of Japan. Former Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Minister of Finance, Minister of International Trade and Industry; current Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.

He is a veteran politician with a high status in Japanese politics. Even so, he did not dare to neglect the invitation of the US ambassador to meet him, and rushed to the US Embassy as soon as possible!

In Japan, Americans are so domineering. Under normal circumstances, the US ambassador should apply, get approval, and then rush to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet with the Japanese Foreign Minister.

The US side did not take the Japanese seriously at all, and directly asked the Japanese Foreign Minister to come to the embassy. It feels aggrieved to think about it. Even so, the Japanese did not dare to raise objections. Perhaps they have been used to it for so many years!

When Michio Watanabe walked into the US Embassy in Japan, he felt that something was wrong. He had come to the US Embassy more than once before, and the staff would still greet him enthusiastically out of basic courtesy.

Today, however, it was out of character, a bit like meeting an enemy. I don’t remember offending Americans anywhere. What’s going on? I think this meeting should not be simple!

To ​​say that Michio Watanabe and Mondale are old friends, they have dealt with each other many times before, and they were all polite. The atmosphere today is a bit weird, and Mondale’s eyes reveal murderous intent!

Without giving Watanabe Michio a chance to interrupt or ask questions, Mondale asked directly: "Foreign Minister Watanabe, the United States may not say that it has done a favor to Japan, but the two countries are at least allies!"

"For so many years, the United States has done its best to stop the Soviet Union's attack. Didn't your country see the United States' efforts at all! The Soviet Union is our number one rival, how can Japanese companies help the enemy!"

"Do you want to give us an explanation, or is Japan ready to turn to the Soviet Union!"

After a series of inquiries, Watanabe Michio was a little confused. What was the situation? Why did Japan turn to the Soviet Union!

The American ambassador would never shoot without a purpose. Is there any misunderstanding? Or was he caught with a handle? But no matter what, we must first understand the situation, and then we can actively respond!

Watanabe Michio thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency the Ambassador, is there any misunderstanding? Japan is only centered on the United States. How could it turn to the Soviet Union?"

"Besides, what is the situation of the Soviet Union now? There is no reason at all!"

As the world's second largest economy, Japan also has its own pride. As deputy prime minister and foreign minister, he was scolded immediately. Strictly speaking, the other party's position is not comparable to his. Why, I feel a little unconvinced. !

As a diplomat, I have a very good understanding of international developments; I can see that the Soviet Union is at the end of its strength, and it is completely sarcastic to say that it will turn to the Soviet Union at this time!

How is it possible that Michio Watanabe doesn't know anything? I can only say that his acting skills are great!

But there are some things that cannot be exposed, otherwise it will not end well for both parties. Just teach Japan a painful lesson, but don't make things impossible!

Mundell thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Watanabe, the Soviet Union is indeed not very good now, but if it were ten years ago, things would have been different!"

"There are some things I don't want to say more, it's up to you to see for yourself!"

After speaking, hand the document bag directly to the other party, and after reading it; if you don't show some sincerity, things will become very serious!

After taking the document bag and seeing the photos and document information, Watanabe Michio suddenly felt that the sky was falling!

How could Toshiba Machine Tools appear in the Soviet Union? They have business dealings, and they can't afford to offend the old man; the officials will mostly choose to turn a blind eye. It can be discovered by the United States and high-definition photos can be taken; that's a different story!

The Soviets are really careless in doing things. No wonder the domestic situation is getting worse and worse.

The Americans must be given a reasonable explanation until the other party is satisfied; otherwise it will be difficult to end it!

Mundell continued: "As early as 1983, Toshiba exported four five-linkage CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union; they were specially used to process large ship propellers and other precision parts!"

"It is because of Toshiba machine tools that the noise of Soviet nuclear submarines has been greatly reduced; it is difficult for the United States and other NATO countries to detect Soviet submarines in the sea."

Not being able to find a Soviet submarine in the sea is a strategic deterrent to the United States and its allies; you should know it without me having to say more!

"Everything was caused by Toshiba, which ignored the interests of its allies and illegally smuggled five-link CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union."

"Intelligence shows that three people are involved. Although we can arrest them secretly, we cannot and do not want to do that!"

"Everything will be handled by the Japanese side. Of course, the embassy will send staff to monitor the whole process."

Looking at the detailed information provided by the United States, Michio Watanabe wanted to kill the three of them with a thousand knives! Make some money by smuggling machine tools without offending the Soviet Union; no problem!

It can be discovered by Americans and high-definition pictures taken; it really shouldn’t be! Now he still needs to wipe his butt, and he was even scolded by the US ambassador today; he must get it back from the three people and Toshiba; otherwise, it will be difficult to get rid of the hatred in his heart!

The Americans were trying to save face for Japan and did not want to make the matter a big deal; they were just targeting Toshiba, otherwise it would be impossible for the Japanese to arrest the three people!

Michio Watanabe said very seriously: "I will report to the Prime Minister immediately and arrest the three people immediately; I guarantee to satisfy you!"

"All losses caused by this will be borne by Toshiba!"

Many things are tacitly understood, and the next step depends on Japan's attitude; it is useless to say too much, because the United States cares more about the results!
