The Takagi couple summoned Komuro Takashi and others to speak, including Takagi Saya, Kiriyama Kazuo, Mimura Nobuhi, Busujima Saeko, Miyamoto Rei, Minamino Kazuo, and Hirano Kota.
The topic of discussion was supporting Tokugawa Kiki's ascension to the throne, and what could be gained was status.
Tokugawa conferred the honorary title happily. With the honorary title, the family is equivalent to gold-plating.
Compared to Tokugawa Shigemo, Tokugawa Kiki was naturally able to award higher honors.
What everyone has to do is to stand up for the crisis and provide a batch of supplies, equivalent to 1 trillion supply points.
Based on the current calculation of 10,000 material points for 1 kilogram of rice, it is only 100,000 tons of rice.
No one has any opinion on what is given and what is gained. The key point is the process. If one takes a stand and takes a stand, will he be secretly attacked by Tokugawa Shigemo and will he be able to withstand it?
The result of the discussion is that there is a small chance that Tokugawa Shigemo will attack secretly, but there is a high probability that they can withstand it.
However, if Tokugawa Shigemo could gain the support of the Gotei Ban and then use force to strike head-on, it would be difficult for them.
Although the probability of a head-on conflict is small, it must be guarded against.
Kiriyama Kazuo, who had been silent for a long time, proposed to see Yamazaki and see what Yamazaki had to say.
Hirano Kota asked: "Are you sure he can deal with Gotei Ban? That old Mr. Genryuzai is very powerful, isn't he?"
"The combat effectiveness of both sides cannot be assessed. We have not actually fought, so we cannot determine the strength or weakness." Kazuo Kiriyama said, "In short, if you want to add an extra layer of insurance, it is best to bring Yamasaki along."
Mimura Nobushi said: "You're right, nothing will be hurt or lost anyway."
"Okay." Yuriko Takagi rubbed her head, "Let's make this call."
…
Indu, afternoon, on the Bahat cruise ship.
Yamazaki finished his practice and received acupressure from nurses Iona and Kathy by the swimming pool.
Next to it is the little lynx Miaomiao, who is playing with the gray mongoose family, while the two big lions and the big bear are lined up in a row, lazily basking in the sun and acting as obstacles.
At this time, the artificial intelligence person Miss Bahat reported that Gao Cheng and his wife came in via video call.
Yamazaki answered and listened to what they said. However, Gao Cheng and his wife did not speak directly and tentatively asked Yamazaki about his views on the future.
"I don't have any opinion. Anyway, if I can, I don't want to worry about it." Yamazaki took Iona's hand and gestured.
Takagi Soichiro frowned, very dissatisfied with Yamazaki's lack of progress.
Takagi Yuriko said first: "With all due respect, Tokugawa Sada is too old. If anything happens, the situation will become very complicated."
"I know that when the time comes, it will be Tokugawa's lush Eastern Sakura Country and Tokugawa's happy Western Sakura Country." Yamazaki chuckled, as he had expected this.
Takagi and his wife were stunned. They didn't expect Yamazaki to see so clearly. So this time they were actually helping Tokugawa Kiki to test the matter. I'm afraid Yamazaki has seen through it now.
Yuriko Takagi tried and asked: "Then who will you support? Tokugawa Shigemo or Tokugawa Kiki?"
"I'm not interested, let them fight." Yamazaki played a much bigger game than them.
"Okay, let's be honest," Soichiro Takagi asked, "if we support Tokugawa Kiki, what do you think?"
Yamazaki spread his hands, "No, really."
Takagi Yuriko asked: "So, what do you think of the Goteiban's strength? If they come to attack us, can you help?"
Yamazaki smiled and said: "I think you will support Tokugawa Kiki, he must have won you over, so please don't forget that he can win over you, and he can also win over people in Gotei Ban."
Takagi Yuriko said: "The problem is that most of the people in Gotei Ban are related to Genryu, and the leader of Genryu, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni, will definitely support Tokugawa Shigemo's orthodoxy."
"Whatever Tokugawa Kiki can give him, Tokugawa Shigeru can also give him. There is no reason for him to bear a bad reputation and abandon Tokugawa Shigeru for Tokugawa Kiki."
Yamazaki nodded, "I understand, you are worried about masters like Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni."
"You people can evacuate to Osaka, oh, people can leave, but you can't take the supplies on the big island with you, you are worried about being taken over."
"In this way, if you can trust me, you can sell the big island to the Patrol Hill Guild and return it to you if you have the opportunity."
Yuriko Takagi frowned and said, "Of course we believe in you, but if we lose Oshima, our value will shrink."
"I won't help you deal with Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni. I don't want to be dragged into such a boring dispute," Yamazaki said, "I'm sorry, I have no other intention. I just don't like fighting for power."
"Forget it, let's just do it. It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself." Soichiro Takagi was very dissatisfied.
"There's nothing you can't ask for," Yamazaki said. "If you want to reap benefits, you have to bear investment risks."
"I understand. In short, we will consider your proposal and we won't bother you."
"goodbye."
After cutting off the communication, Yamazaki couldn't help but shake his head. When the situation calmed down a little, restless ambitions began to emerge.
…
Big island.
"Damn it."
"Husband, calm down, you were too impulsive just now."
"Impulsive, we all say that, that kid..."
"Husband, it's normal to be rejected when doing business. Everyone's needs are different, and it's precisely because Yamazaki said it so straightforwardly and without ambiguity that Yamazaki is trustworthy."
"Are you really planning to give the Big Island to him? You must know that without the Big Island, our strength will be greatly reduced."
"That's just the worst. Anyway, just take it one step at a time. If you want to get something, you have to take risks. This is inevitable."
"Forget it, let's think about countermeasures." Soichiro Takagi calmed down.
Gao Cheng Yuriko chuckled, "That's right."
…
On January 7, the 57th week after the disaster began.
The world is on alert, worried about a new round of disaster.
And Sakata Gintoki took out the liquor in his arms and drank while thinking about the problem of drunkenness and causing trouble.
However, as time passed, the alarm did not sound, the zombies did not appear in a new round of strengthening, and the concentration of unknown substances in the air did not change.
The wine that did bad things became the wine that celebrated.
…
Tokyo, January 8.
Sakata Gintoki came to Katsura Kotaro with a hangover and asked him to support him with another bottle of wine.
Katsura Kotaro picked up the bench and beat Sakata Gintoki so hard that he was beyond recognition and unable to take care of himself.
However, this is just speculation.
Although Katsura Kotaro wanted to beat the person, he was worried about the plan and had to endure it. However, Katsura Kotaro did not give the drink now to avoid being drunk again, and only promised to deliver it when the time came.
"mean."
"roll!"
…
On January 14, the 58th week after the disaster began, nothing happened.
On January 15, Sakata Gintoki approached Katsura Kotaro again, and the familiar scene happened again.
It's just that Katsura Kotaro's face is darker, and what he's thinking about is cutting Sakata Gintoki into pieces and mixing them into cement to serve as human pillars.
…
On January 21, the 59th week after the disaster began.
While people were nervous and relaxed, Sakata Gintoki drank again.
This time, the alarm sounded, a new round of transformation occurred, and a new round of increase in the concentration of unknown substances in the air occurred.
There was no problem at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Sakata Gintoki immediately got into his car and fled under the guise of going on patrol.
My favorite car was prepared for this drunken man and was named Yin. It was a modified battery car.
"Don't run, you're not allowed to drink and drive." Isao Kondo appeared and chased after him to stop the illegal act.
Sakata Gintoki increased the speed to 200 kilometers per hour, but he did not get rid of Kondo Isao.
Sakata Gintoki kicked off his feet, jumped onto a building on the side of the road with his car, changed lanes and raced wildly.
Kondo Isao knew that one person could not stop Sakata Gintoki, so while chasing him, he reported the situation to the command center and mobilized the police to contain him.
