Chapter 499 Why Not Give You the Prime Ministership?
Not long after, Naoki Hanyu walked into the Prime Minister's office openly and legitimately again.

"Your Excellency, is there something you need me for?"

"Yuzuru, Japan is now in a precarious situation, and the country needs you now."

"Prime Minister, please don't say that. I can't accept such flattery."

"."

Akiyama Akira originally wanted to say some high-sounding words, but was rendered speechless by this attitude and could only start talking about business.

"Director Yuzuru, the clash between two major terrorist organizations within the country is already threatening the nation's survival. Do you sense it?"

Naoki Hanyu waved his hand.

"It hasn't come to that point yet. Even if a group of members of parliament die, there can be another general election. There are plenty of people who want to be members of parliament, so there's no shortage of people to be members of parliament."

"."

Akiyama Akechi's expression froze, clearly taken aback by these words, and he said with a stern face.

"Director Yuzuru, it's a bit much for you to say such things as a member of the government. You are all important parts of the country."

"And then what? Whether they live or die is none of my business."

A direct confrontation would have made the atmosphere in the room tense.

Akiyama Akechi's face was extremely ugly. This was the first person who dared to say such a thing since he became prime minister. He was already mentally exhausted by the mess of the past few days, and this finally caused him to explode.

"Director Yuzuru, do you know what nonsense you're spouting? I can dismiss you based on that one sentence alone."

“I know you can dismiss me, but I can also choose not to support you, Akiyama Akechi.”

Akiyama Akechi was taken aback by the blunt words. At this critical moment, having lost the support of six members of the House of Representatives, if Hanyu Naoki were to continue to use his reputation to speak out online, the ruling party would be in serious jeopardy.

He forgot that the man in front of him was not only in a high position of power, but also a young man who acted more impulsively than the older generation. If they continued arguing, they would really break off all ties.

Akiyama Akechi finally suppressed his anger and said.

"Director Yuzuru, please don't be impulsive. We can discuss this calmly."

Naoki Hanyu spread his hands, indicating that he was there to make it clear that he was not an ordinary bureau chief.

"It really is time to talk. I'm not even sure if I'm still on the same side as the Prime Minister."

Akiyama Akechi forced a smile.

"Of course we're in the same boat."

"But the Prime Minister did not support me in dealing with the cult kidnapping incident some time ago. I am a member of the Justice Party. You did not support me for the sake of those right-wingers. This really chills my heart."

Akiyama Akechi was truly speechless. To tear off all pretenses over such a trivial matter—was this guy even a politician? No, even if he wasn't a politician, a seasoned veteran wouldn't do something so foolish unless he really thought he had plenty of cards up his sleeve.

The new prime minister sighed.

"Director Yuzuru, do you know why I called you here?"

"The YMCA and the Revitalization Society?"

"It's good that you know. I hope you can handle this well for the country and the people. The situation in Japan cannot continue to deteriorate like this."

Seeing this, Naoki Hanyu stopped pretending.

"The YMCA reiterates: unless the government finds some clue that allows me to kill them in one strike, I will not take action. It's too dangerous; I don't want my whole family to die."

"you"

Naoki Hanyu interrupted.

"I won't provoke the Youth Association, but I can deal with the Revitalization Association. However, I need to feel the Cabinet's sincerity." With this explanation, Akiyama Akechi understood that he couldn't do anything to Hanyu Naoki for the time being, and even needed to ask for his help. At least until the situation stabilized, he couldn't afford to break off relations.

"Yuzuru, tell me your conditions."

Naoki Hanyu raised three fingers.

“I have three conditions. The first is that the United Farmers’ Cooperatives can truly replace the Farmers’ Cooperatives, not only crushing them in the Kanto region, but also in other places. The government must cooperate with the Farmers’ Cooperatives’ next actions.”

When Akiyama Akechi heard the first one, he almost lost his composure. In the Kanto region, agricultural cooperatives really crushed agricultural associations, with a land ratio of about 5 to 1. If they really supported agricultural cooperatives, it wouldn't be difficult for them to replace agricultural associations.

But this is not what Akiyama Akechi wants to see. Not to mention that the emergence of another behemoth that monopolizes agriculture would be detrimental to the cabinet, the Hanyu faction already has 6 members of the House of Representatives. Who knows how many members it will expand to once the agricultural cooperatives really replace the agricultural associations.

Naoki Hanyu said nonchalantly.

"Secondly, I want the position of Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the National Police Agency."

Akiyama Akechi was completely dumbfounded. This was an outrageous demand. The fact that the government was unable to intervene in the Metropolitan Police Department was already giving the cabinet a headache. The only solution was to purge the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department, but the extent of the turmoil that would cause was unpredictable. Now, this man in front of him wanted to extend his reach into the police department.

"Thirdly, I need to establish a police commission with equal power to the security commission in the police system."

"."

Akiyama Akechi's face darkened again. He could only agree to this. If he agreed to everything, he might as well hand over the prime ministership to the man in front of him.

"Director Yuzuru, you know I can't possibly agree to that. If I did, I'd rather give you the prime ministership."

"Prime Minister, you must be joking. I wouldn't dare accept that. I'm just making a very simple request: if you want me to take the risk of cleaning up the mess you've made, then you should give me the compensation I deserve."

After the two men stared at each other and argued for a while, Naoki Hanyu eventually left because Akechi Akiyama refused to agree to any of his conditions.

"Your Excellency, please contact me when you have come to a decision."

"Yuzuru, you should think this through carefully. It won't do you any good if the cabinet falls."

With someone leaving, Akiyama Akechi finally snapped.

"Arrogant and lawless, he, a mere police chief, dared to negotiate with me. It's outrageous."

The cabinet members outside were silent. They didn't know what was being discussed inside, but judging from the Prime Minister's anger, things were not going well.

Meanwhile, Naoki Hanyu calmly returned to his office. After all, he could be a little more unrestrained with a cabinet on the verge of collapse. After all, no one would be optimistic about a cabinet that couldn't even get its bills out of the House of Representatives.

While the collapse of the ruling party wouldn't benefit him either, it wouldn't be the worst-case scenario.

For example, some people from the opposition party (the Democratic Party) contacted Tanaka Juzo and him, trying to win over the Hanyu faction, which can also be called the Tanaka faction.

Only the top leaders within the ruling party are clear that the Hanyu faction is led by Naoki Hanyu, while other non-party members probably think that Juzo Tanaka is the leader.

Naoki Hanyu looked through the glass towards the direction of the locust dwelling and muttered to himself.

"Let the storm rage on!"
.
Spring rain nourishes all things, but it cannot soothe the hearts of many councilors who have been targeted by divine retribution. Like snakes in winter, they dare not come out and seek places to hide, and the government has increased its security measures for them.

Nakamura family, Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture.

As the largest family in the area, the Nakamura family holds many important positions in the local government. The Nakamura family has been a Nagano Prefecture assembly family for 70 years. Nakamura Daisuke has successfully taken over his father's position and inherited the House of Representatives seat in the Matsumoto City constituency of Nagano Prefecture.

Nakamura Daisuke was full of vigor when he became a member of parliament at the age of 35, and his political views were also right-wing. Until a few days ago, when he was named by the YMCA, he felt like the sky had fallen.

So the politician went into hiding on the Nakamura family's ancestral land, and security was greatly increased.

Unbeknownst to him, the Grim Reaper had already set his sights on him, because he was one of the most prominent members of parliament who spoke well of America.

In the moonless night sky, the sound of propellers was drowned out by the sound of rain, and there was more than one propeller.
