Chapter 63 Candidates

The light rain was pouring down, and a convoy of more than ten vehicles was speeding along the two-way two-lane road in the forest. Iwasaki Masato, wearing a kimono, was sitting in the back seat of the car and looking out the window. But what if this

If someone looked at him from time to time, they would see that his eyes were empty. Iwasaki Masato was not looking at the scenery outside the window.

The motorcade turned a corner and slowed down. As if feeling the change in speed, Masato Iwasaki turned his head. The middle-aged man sitting opposite him immediately lowered his head and said: "Master, we will arrive at Yasuda soon."

It’s a family vacation spot.”

"Yeah." Iwasaki Masato nodded slightly.

A few minutes later, the road forked. After driving along the fork for almost ten minutes, a large iron gate appeared in front of it. On both sides of the big iron gate, eight strong men stood respectfully.

On both sides, the iron gates slowly opened, and the convoy continued to move forward. On one side of the two-way, two-lane road was a gentle hillside, full of century-old trees, and on the other side was a fifteen- to six-meter-wide road.

The river, the water in the river is turbulent.

This is Ise Shima National Park in Mie Prefecture, Japan. The famous Ise Jingu Shrine is located in it. The Yasuda family also owns a land area of ​​more than five square kilometers here. Follow the road and drive in for a few minutes.

, turned a corner, and a complex of more than twenty ancient Japanese buildings appeared in front of the convoy.

Iwasaki Masato's car slowly stopped in front of the steps. The driver opened the door. Iwasaki Masato walked out and glanced at Yasuda Nakanomiya who was standing on the steps. The two started walking almost at the same time and met each other in the middle of the steps.

meeting.

"Welcome Iwasaki-kun to be our guest, my thatched cottage is so bright." Yasuda Nakanomiya laughed.

"Thank you, Mr. Yasuda, you are so polite. The mountains and rivers here are indeed beautiful, and your family occupies a good place." Iwasaki said honestly. Although he had known that the Yasuda family had a private land here, this was his first time.

Come.

"This is not the place to talk. We'd better go in and talk." Yasuda Nakanomiya greeted.

"Yasuda-kun is really enjoying it." Iwasaki Masato sat cross-legged on the couch and looked out the window. In the distance, a white chain hung in the mountains. A gust of wind passed by, and the fresh water vapor brought the scent of vegetation from the mountain forest into the room.

, refreshing.

"Iwasaki-kun, I don't believe that your family doesn't have something similar." Yasuda Nakamiya said with a casual smile. The Mitsubishi Foundation's power in Japan before the war was especially greater than that of the Yasuda Foundation, the predecessor of the Furong Foundation. After the end of World War II,

, the Mitsubishi Foundation was reorganized before the Furong Foundation, so it naturally had an advantage over the Furong Foundation. Moreover, although the Furong Foundation was established on the basis of the original Yasuda Foundation, the Yasuda family's control over the consortium is not as good as that of the Iwasaki family.

.

"There is no place that can be a neighbor to Ise Jingu." Iwasaki Masato sighed. If you are not Japanese, you will not understand the great influence of Ise Jingu in Japanese society. It is the most important place in Shintoism.

This sacred and ancient Shinto place, the highest point in the Japanese shrine system, enshrines the ancestor god of the royal family, Amaterasu Omikami. Even the guards are responsible for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

Yasuda Nakanomiya smiled, filled the tea cup in front of me for Iwasaki Masato and said: "Iwasaki-kun, I invite you here this time because I want to discuss with you the successor of Hatoyama Yukio."

Iwasaki Masato glanced at Yasuda Nakanomiya calmly and said, "It seems too early to discuss this now, right?"

"If we don't make preparations in advance, how can we ensure the interests of our two families?" Yasuda Nakamiya said leisurely, "Hatoyama Yukio is now stubborn on the restart of the nuclear power unit, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people. April

During the one-day parliamentary inquiry, he made the participating members very dissatisfied. Even within the Democratic Party, there were complaints about this matter. I am afraid that Yukio Hatoyama is no longer secure in his position as prime minister."

Iwasaki Masato played with the tea cup in his hand. He understood what Yasuda Nakanomiya meant. As Japan's summer power consumption peak is getting closer and closer, the Tokyo area and the surrounding eight counties, which are seriously short of power, will also be affected by Hatoyama Yukio Yue.

People are becoming more and more dissatisfied. As the core area of ​​Japan's economy and population, the importance of votes in Tokyo and surrounding areas for Japanese elections is self-evident. As long as they are behind it, there will be more and more dissatisfaction.

The more Japanese entrepreneurs and people are strongly dissatisfied with Yukio Hatoyama, and after reaching a certain level, even if Yukio Hatoyama is unwilling to step down, the Democratic Party will take the initiative to push him out in order to ensure the position of prime minister.

"Which member of the Democratic Party does Mr. Yasuda admire more?" Masamoto Iwasaki asked with a smile, "According to convention, if Yukio Hatoyama steps down, Naoki Ozawa should take over, right?"

"Ozawa Naoki? Hehe..." Yasuda Nakamiya said with a bit of disdain. He didn't like Ozawa Naoki at all. Moreover, Ozawa Naoki was already one person below others in the Democratic Party.

As long as Yukio Hatoyama steps down, he will take over without any accidents. In that case, how much benefit can the Furong Consortium get from it?

"Iwasaki-kun, what do you think of Furugaki Seiichi?" Yasuda Nakamiya leaned forward slightly. Furugaki Seiichi is ranked behind Hatoyama Yukio, Ozawa Naoki, and Suga Naoto in the Democratic Party.

The fourth is the current Cabinet Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry.

"Furugaki Seichi?" Iwasaki Masato pondered for a moment and then said, "His qualifications are acceptable, but do you think we can convince others?" It will be better to oust Hatoyama Yukio than to win their favor.

It is much easier to elect a candidate to the position of prime minister. To choose a new prime minister, only two of the six major financial groups cannot do it.

"You mean, Furugaki Seichi may not be recognized by other financial groups?" Yasuda Nakamiya laughed, "Then who is Iwasaki-kun more optimistic about?"

"What do you think of Yoshihiko Hayada?" Iwasaki said calmly.

Yasuda Nakanomiya glanced at Iwasaki Masato calmly. He was not surprised that Iwasaki Masato brought up Yoshihiko Yoshihiko. Yoshihiko Yoshihiko supports the construction and export of Japanese nuclear power, which is beneficial to Japan's three nuclear power giants, Hitachi Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Toshiba Corporation. These three companies belong to the Mitsubishi, Furong and Mitsui consortiums.

Masato Iwasaki turned his attention to the waterfall outside the window. Yoshihiko Hayada is a hard-liner in the Democratic Party, and hard-liners generally support Japan's strengthening of its armaments, which is undoubtedly beneficial to the Mitsubishi Consortium. However, this is not

This means that other consortiums will not benefit from it. Due to the constraints of the pacifist constitution, Japan has always implemented a military production system that "integrates the military with the people", which means that the government no longer sets up specialized arsenals for the production of weapons and equipment.

Most of the development tasks and all production tasks of weapons and equipment are completed by private enterprises entrusted by the Ministry of Defense through contracts. The six major consortiums are all involved in this field to a greater or lesser extent.

At present, there are more than 20 large companies involved in military production. While these large companies manufacture civilian products such as automobiles, ships, engines, household appliances, and electronic equipment, they continue to apply cutting-edge civilian technologies reserved in the development of civilian products to military applications.

There are more than 2,000 small and medium-sized enterprises that produce supporting parts for these large enterprises. Once a war breaks out, these enterprises can fully switch to military production.

Since Japan is an ally of the United States and has always been the world's second largest economic power, it has abundant financial resources and smooth channels to develop and introduce advanced technologies from European and American countries. If it were not restricted by the pacifist constitution, it would not be able to export weapons overseas.

, it must have a place in the global arms trade market. A Japanese research institution once investigated Japan’s military production and believed that if there were no constraints on the three principles of arms exports, Japan would be in the manufacturing of military electronic equipment, military vehicles and warships.

In large areas, they will occupy more than two-fifths of the market share.

Japan's entry into the global arms trade market can, on the one hand, bring substantial foreign exchange earnings, more jobs, and reduce domestic production costs; on the other hand, it can also encourage these companies to have more funds and enthusiasm to develop more cutting-edge weapons.

weapons and equipment.

According to Iwasaki Masato, the countdown to Hatoyama Yukio's resignation has begun, but the new candidate to be promoted must be recognized by other consortiums as much as possible, especially the Mitsui and Sumitomo consortiums. Only in this way can this be completed as soon as possible.

A handover of powers as prime minister.

Moreover, Ye Tian Yoshihiko has a low ranking in the Democratic Party. If he wants to rise to power, he will naturally have to rely more on the power of these consortiums. Even after taking office, he cannot be strong internally. More importantly, Ye Tian

Before becoming a member of the Democratic Party, Yoshihiko joined several parties. If the Liberal Democratic Party can bring enough benefits, it is not ruled out that he will switch camps and join the Liberal Democratic Party.

"Yoshihiko Yasuda..." Yasuda Nakamiya squinted his eyes, looking thoughtful.

"We, the Mitsubishi Consortium, can give away 10% of next year's equipment procurement!" Iwasaki said honestly.

"Thirty percent!" Yasuda Nakanomiya said without hesitation, "It only takes one year, and we still have to convince other consortiums. One point is too little for everyone. How can I convince others."

"If Yoshihiko Yoshida takes office, I don't need to list all the benefits to the Furong Foundation here, right?" Iwasaki said solemnly, "How long can Yoshihiko Yoshida sit on the stage? Thirty percent share is too much.

Fifteen percent at most!" Military procurement has always been an important source of profit for the Mitsubishi Consortium. Giving up 15% is also a quite huge amount. Moreover, during the economic crisis, military procurement is very important.

Sexual nature has reached a new level.
