Chapter 95: Its a devil, its a thug, its a wolf, its a king
This is true in theory.
The granary is the real lifeblood of the nation. Food is the most important thing for the people. However, the problem of food and clothing usually only arises in times of war. Now we are in peace times. Even if the economy drops significantly and collapses, having enough food is definitely not a problem.
What's more, Japan has officially entered a period of rapid development since the 1980s and has already become one of the world's developed countries. Even if the bubble bursts and causes economic recession, the people will not be left without enough to eat.
The Takeshita family chooses to dispatch food and necessities from home, firstly because it is easy to operate and has easy access to human resources, and secondly because there are no middlemen to make profit from the price difference. With a little effort, you can make a lot of money.
Only wealthy families like the Takeshita family are qualified to use the national granary for their own benefit.
Their idea is very simple. After defeating Kitahara Sosuke at the end of the year, they will use the wealth of the Kitahara clan to buy back grain and replenish the vacancies in the granary. With one move, they will not only make tens of trillions of yen in profit, but also eat the entire Kitahara.
Department club!
This is a conspiracy.
In the face of absolute strength, all little tricks seem ridiculous.
Of course there is nothing wrong with Kitahara Sosuke's logic.
The granary is empty. If it cannot be filled, something big will happen.
It’s a national event!
"The only way the Takeshita family can't fill the gap is to lose to us." Miyazawa Ki glanced at Kitahara Sosuke and hit the nail on the head with his question, "The consequences they planted will also be eaten by themselves, but the premise is that
, Aosuke, you can win."
Is the magic weapon for victory just to bet on the illusory disintegration of the Soviet Union?
This is too illusory.
"I have asked people from the Coordination Department and Finance Department to calculate that because of the vacancies in these granaries and necessities, as time goes by, domestic basic prices will rise by about 20% in November. In the current harsh environment,
This 20% is enough to make people dissatisfied, and the government may not take any remedial measures in the short term."
Kitahara Sosuke chuckled lightly and tapped the table with his hand, making clear and rhythmic sounds again and again.
"Even if there is, it is difficult to find a solution. I am afraid that by the end of November, the soaring prices and the appreciation of currency will make people's lives reach a very unbearable point. By then, public opinion will carry the general trend and be enough to overwhelm the authority of Congress."
"At that time, the only solution was to let the Agricultural Federation Association sell the remaining 10 trillion supplies to the people at a low price. This would make the national treasury even more empty, and the amount of losses would be a lifelong shame for this prime minister's cabinet."
Miyazawa Kiichi is a seasoned politician who can see through the subsequent problems at a glance.
Murayama Tomiichi's cabinet is the prime minister's cabinet jointly supported by the Fuji Foundation and the Kitahara clan. Its role is more of a link between the past and the following. After he was unable to continue and was forced to abdicate, Murayama Tomiichi took over to prevent further economic deterioration.
Tomiichi Murayama is old and has high prestige within the Liberal Democratic Party. It is understandable that he uses his reputation to pave the way for his family. When he came to power, he had the consciousness of taking the blame.
But I'm afraid even he didn't expect that this black pot was so huge!
In the final analysis, it is still too greedy.
Following Kitahara Sosuke, the situation would not have been so bad originally, and he could spend his old age in peace, but in the end he chose to get together with the Takeshita family in an attempt to make a big fortune in the end.
If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose a handful of rice.
If Kitahara Sosuke wins, this is probably the best ending explanation for Murayama Tomiichi.
Kitahara Sosuke never fights an uncertain battle.
Miyazawa Kiichi became a little curious as to what his next plan would be.
"Yes, Miyazawa-senpai is right. That can only be a temporary measure. 10 trillion yuan of supplies cannot bear the consequences of rising prices. At least 20 trillion yuan will be at the bottom." Kitahara Sosuke chuckled, his eyes
As if he had seen through everything, "This is why I bought the remaining 10 trillion supplies."
Does he want to enrich the country?
Everyone below was horrified.
This is too much...
But immediately, Kitahara Sosuke's next words overturned their perceptions.
"What I want you to do is to promote the trend of rising prices as soon as possible. The sooner the better, the more severe the better, and then I will let the public dissatisfaction boil, let the Congress, and the Takeshita family be unable to do anything."
Kitahara Sosuke showed an evil and cruel smile,
"The 10 trillion yen of supplies in my hand will not be sold. I want to watch them sink and fall into the sea of misery."
Doesn't he plan to sell those supplies at a high price?
Uchida Hiroshi's pupils shrank suddenly.
Suddenly I thought of what my daughter Shizuko Uchida said casually when I went out before.
"Dad, Kitahara-san is a very cruel, terrifying, and very ambitious man. He will never stop because of people's livelihood. He is a man who will use everything he can use!"
"He wants to push Japan into the abyss, and then use the decline of the entire country to achieve his throne!"
When she said these words, her daughter Shizuko Uchida seemed like a lunatic obsessed with abnormal love, her eyes full of admiration and fanaticism.
She knows something and is cooperating with Kitahara Sosuke in secret operations.
He was planning something, but he didn't say anything.
Is he telling himself secretly through Jingzi?
Or is he also warning himself not to interfere with his plans at will?
Uchida Hiro looked at Miyazawa Kiichi, an old man who had experienced decades of ups and downs, with the same shock and relief in his eyes.
He also had a similar experience.
Maybe Kaoru Miyazawa, or someone else close to him, like Shizuko Uchida, is secretly assisting Kitahara Sosuke!
This young man, this man, this devil...
This wolf.
Bared fangs.
Bloody and cruel.
"Huh. I understand. In short, it is to promote the situation, let the consequences of rising prices continue to spread and worsen, and add fuel to the flames, but does not solve the problem. Then, the blame is put on the Murayama Tomiichi Cabinet and the Takeshita family."
Uchida Hiroshi spoke concisely and to the point. He took a deep breath and looked at Kitahara Sosuke.
"This is the task of us people."
"Uncle Uchida understands my intention, that's great." Kitahara Sosuke nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, I will arrange all this, and I hope you all can do your best for the final victory."
"If we lose, not only me, but also you will lose everything."
He smiled and made a "please" gesture.
Once again, is Japan going to be turned upside down?
Miyazawa Kiichi was silent, looking at his leaving back, unable to speak for a long time.
As soon as Kitahara Sosuke left, the air in the conference room became clearer and the atmosphere was no longer heavy.
"This... is a lunatic, absolutely..."
"Are we really going to do this?"
"Nonsense, if we don't do this, we will be the ones who die!"
Low murmurs and the smell of cigarettes, mixed with sweat, dispersed in the air.
