Chapter 487: A Devil, a Thug, a Wolf, and a King
In theory this is true.
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, they 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, and if it cannot be filled, something big will happen.
It's a national event!
"The only way the Takeshita family can't make up for it 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 unreal.
"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, and tapped the table with his hand, making a clear and rhythmic sound 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 was the prime minister's cabinet jointly supported by the Fuji Foundation and the Kitahara clan. It played 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 the economy from deteriorating further.
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. It can only be a delaying tactic. 10 trillion supplies cannot bear the consequences of rising prices. At least 20 trillion 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, and the more severe the better, the better. Then I will let the public dissatisfaction boil and leave the Congress and the Takeshita family 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 into misery."
! ! !
Doesn't he plan to sell those supplies at a high price?
Uchida Hiro'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 saying 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 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 not solve the problem. Then, put the blame 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, for the final victory, I hope you can do your best."
"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, watching 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.
