In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Ten billion!

If you say that, wouldn’t you be very despicable?

Knowing that she had no choice given her personality, why did she deliberately not say how much she bet?

Nagano Nao tried several times before he finally lowered his arms, but he finally let go of his fear of the woman and slowly hugged her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be so complicated!"

puff.

Ikeda Sakurako suddenly pushed Nagano Nao away, with a smile on her bright face, and she didn't look like she had been crying at all.

"Haha, you are such a childish guy! Were you very moved just now?"

"..."

Nima!

I'm the clown myself?

Grass.

I knew I shouldn't trust this woman.

Nagano straight men are all very embarrassed.

Ikeda Sakurako didn't look at his expression. She poured two more glasses of red wine and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to fight?"

"Ikeda, you always embarrass me like this!" Nagano Nao took the wine and took a sip helplessly.

Ikeda Sakurako leaned back elegantly on the sofa and said in a teasing tone, "It must be unpleasant to be suppressed by a woman in terms of ability, right?"

“…”

"But how does power feel? Speaking of which, you're pretty brave. You dare to do two of them together."

"..."

Ok!

Although I'm drunk and don't know how it tastes.

But the feeling of power is so good.

Even just seeing Hattori and Kurata looking as pitiful and helpless as rabbits, it felt like a fire was burning in my heart.

It's just too shameful to admit such a thing.

Nagano Nao said unhappily: "I was tricked by you."

"Please don't be so shameless, okay? If you weren't the section chief, would this have happened? Or did I put it in for you?"

"..."

"But what do you think of my suggestion? I'll give you 5 billion as a performance bonus. I'm sure with Ida Yoko's care for you, it won't be a problem for you to be promoted to department head."

"How is this possible? My qualifications are too shallow. It is impossible for me to be promoted to minister without three to five years."

"You are too unmotivated, straight man. Hashimoto Ryutaro became a councillor at the age of 26, and you defeated two of your subordinates in one night. Don't you even have this much confidence?"

talking.

Sakurako Ikeda walked over with a wine glass, then put a sip of red wine into Nagano Nao's ear.

The white neck moved, and then whispered softly: "Think about the taste of power. As long as there is enough power, even I will have to submit to you."

Grass.

This guy is too good at bewitching people!

Nagano Nao really wanted to say something.

"It's easy to say. Hashimoto has his father's support. My father doesn't love me, and my mother can't do it. How can I compare with him?"

"Why not? If I had this thing, I would dare to pierce through even the sky."

"Please be a lady!"

"You are such a bastard, didn't both of them satisfy you last night?"

"Let go!"

"I can let you go, but you have to promise me something first."

"what's up?"

"Before this, Tanaka found me and told me the plan you mentioned before. She agreed to stand with us on this matter, but she had a request."

Damn it!

How can you say such things casually?

Nagano Nao was shocked: "Ikeda, you lunatic, are you telling outsiders about this in order to get us taken to tea by Sakuradamon?"

"Idiot, do I look like a fool? Don't worry, it's Tanaka Makiko. Her father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to Takeshita's anger, and now he and Hashimoto Ryutaro are at loggerheads. Don't you think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"what chance?"

"If Wall Street will attack the Japanese stock market as you analyzed before, what choice do you think Hashimoto, the Minister of Finance, will make?"

"..."

"Don't you understand? He will definitely do everything he can to ensure the stability of the financial market, and once he fails to do so, the opportunity will come."

"..."

“But before that, you need to go to a higher position.”

"..."

Chapter 82 The Cycle of History

After listening to Sakurako Ikeda's description.

Nagano Nao frowned slightly, his eyes gleaming with thought, and it was obvious that he was thinking about something very important.

This made Sakurako Ikeda secretly clench her fists.

You are indeed a wise guy like me, so please make the best choice, straight man!

But in fact, Nagano Nao was thinking about one question - what the hell is this guy talking about? ! !

Tanaka?

Hashimoto?

financial crisis?

opportunity?

Are there other opportunities here besides making money?

Ok!

It seems that I am really a bit stupid.

It’s shameful to just say that you don’t understand!

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the relationship. He was embarrassed by Ikeda Sakurako's expectant eyes. Nagano Naoko asked guiltily: "Tanaka's father was pissed off by Takeshita. What does this have to do with Hashimoto, the instability of the financial market, and us?"

"Nani?"

Ikeda Sakurako was visibly stunned.

A strange thought flashed through my mind - could it be that a guy as smart as me is actually an idiot?

"Isn't this obvious? Takeshita's reorganization when Kakuei Tanaka was seriously ill indirectly angered Tanaka to death. In this way, Makiko, as the heir of the Tanaka family, will definitely support the Ampe family, and then dealing with Hashimoto Ryutaro to support Koizumi will become an inevitable result.

Isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”

What the hell?

Nagano Nao was already confused, and he was even more confused after hearing this: "Aren't Koizumi and Hashimoto allies?"

"Ally? Who told you that?"

“Aren’t they all from Qinghe?”

"You big fool. That's not the case. It's related to something that happened fifty years ago..."

"..."

Middle period.

Ichiro Hatoyama became president of the Liberal Party and formed a cabinet, but was stripped of his public office by Douglas MacArthur, citing his unclean history.

In order to retain power, Hatoyama found Yoshida Shigeru, the second-in-command of the Liberal Party at the time, and reached a gentleman's agreement. As a result, with Hatoyama's support, Yoshida Shigeru got the prime minister's seal, and then realized the power and could not hold on.

In a fit of anger, Hatoyama left the Liberal Party with a series of Kishi Nobusuke's confidants and stepped down. Finally, he took back the prime ministerial seal because Yoshida Shigeru's term of office expired, and merged the Liberal Party into the Liberal Democratic Party.

However, the fight between the two also involved more forces and evolved into constant fights and struggles between several major families.

For a long time, the presidents of major political parties in Japan have been of the same bloodline and if bloodline is not enough, they will choose adopted sons, and if adopted sons are not enough, they will choose direct descendants.

There are two heirs on Hatoyama's side, one is his son-in-law Kintaro Abe, and the other is Nobusuke Kishi. Nobusuke Kishi's original name was Satosuke, and his most trusted subordinate was Takeo Fukuda.

The successor to the LDP president took over the prime ministerial seal, and in 60 Kishi Nobuyuki handed over his direct lineage to Fukuda.

At the same time, Yoshida Shigeya cultivated his own direct descendant, Kakuei Tanaka. Fate is always full of inexplicable coincidences. Yoshida Shigeya also had a daughter, so there was another direct heir, Aso Taiga, who also had a son, Aso Taro.

But compared to Hatoyama, Yoshida Shigeru's other heir is Sato Eisaku from the Sato family. He and Kishi Nobuyuki are brothers, but after Kishi Nobuyuki and Hatoyama Ichiro left, they each served their own masters.

In 64, when Sato Eisaku got the prime minister's seal, Tanaka, who was from the same faction, basically controlled the party's internal connections. However, because of the relationship with the previous generation, Fukuda, who had served three consecutive terms as the Minister of Finance, did not buy it.

However, Fukuda was a capable person. During his tenure, Japan's economy grew for five consecutive years. He was also the legitimate successor of Kishi Nobuyuki, so Sato wanted to hand over the prime ministerial seal to Fukuda.

But in the end, because Nakasone, Ohira and Miki joined the war, Sato Eisaku acted as a middleman and reached a gentleman's agreement with Fukuda and Tanaka.

History is often similar to coincidences.

It was originally agreed that everyone would take turns and Fukuda would go first, but who knew that Tanaka cheated and contacted other people behind the scenes to get himself promoted. It was not until Tanaka died that Fukuda got the seal at the age of 71. He also published a book to scold Tanaka for being a bastard and untrustworthy.

Originally, with one of them dead, the fight should have come to an end, but as Fukuda passed on the inheritance to Kishi Nobuyuki's son-in-law Kintaro Abe, and Tanaka was succeeded by Takeshita, the current situation has occurred.

Because when Tanaka was hospitalized a few years ago, General Takeshita reorganized the Tanaka faction, which was a betrayal in the traditional sense, so Tanaka was so angry that he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and could not be rescued.
