Chapter 201: Petition for Nomination
"What does that mean?"
"Casting a letter of honor is a word in ancient Jiuyou, it is a 'letter of guarantee', a practice of showing loyalty to the organization. We don't need to do this, we just need to make our position clear to the Nine Shadows. ”
Mai Miku didn't understand a little, "Grandpa mean, do we have to write a letter or something?"
"Haha, in the future, if I really write a letter of surrender and be known to the Japanese authorities, won't we become treason? Politics is not like this, we just need to express our position to the outside world. However, even so, our Mai family will be pushed to the cusp. ”
Mai Katsuhei bowed her head and pondered.
"What position to express?"
"You should ask in what way to take a stand. In less than two months, our country will celebrate the New Year, and if my expectations are good, our prime minister will arrange for cabinet members to visit the Yasukuni Shrine. If that were the case, I would give a voice to the politicians of the opposition parties in the clan to condemn the actions of the authorities, and that war criminals should not be enshrined, let alone by the leaders of the country. ”
"Ah, grandpa, in this way, didn't we offend the Heavenly Emperor?
"The emperor is just an ornament in the people, and we have no objection to the emperor commemorating his ancestors, but the ruling party should never visit the Yasukuni Shrine, where 14 Class-A war criminals are enshrined. Over the years, visiting the Yasukuni Shrine has become a 'personal show' for some Japanese politicians to win over voters and display their right-wing ideas. Several visits by Japanese politicians have damaged Japan's relations with Asian countries such as Jiuyu and South Korea. What we need to win over is another group of people, a group of people who yearn for peaceful development and are kind to others. ”
"However, if we do this and don't get the support of others, won't our family be 'put in small shoes'?"
"Hehe, you know a lot about the Nine Shades culture recently, and you even know how to 'wear small shoes'. Grandpa is very relieved that you can think of this, and you also know that you are thinking about the family. This is indeed a risky move, if we don't do it, the Mai family will become the target of public criticism in Japan, and I believe that many people in Japan will support us, but those who really hold the power will definitely resent us. ”
"Grandpa, isn't it good for us to do business quietly?"
"In the future, you are still young, what you see is a quiet life, but behind the scenes, our family does not know how much humiliation we have suffered. Grandpa has to change his methods to 'pay tribute' to the major forces in Japan every year, just to get 'quiet' development. Which family in the world doesn't want to be powered?
You see, in the United States, where 'democracy' is talked about every day, when it comes to the presidential election, the candidates are either the sons of the former president or the younger brother of the former president, and even the wife of the former president is almost elected, and these families are unwilling to give up their rights.
If you look at this year's U.S. election, didn't Bloomberg, a well-known businessman in the United States, also participate in the election, and his voice is very high, and American citizens are disappointed in those politicians' families, and a 'stunned' businessman in power may really change the situation.
If we can get the support of the Nine Shadows, we may also become the ruling family. ”
Mai Miku heard so much, and a worry that she had never had before finally appeared on her face, and this look made Mai Katsuhei unbearable.
"But, grandpa, can just a few scandals bring down the authorities?"
"Don't underestimate these scandals, think about the previous 'Watergate scandal' in the United States, and then think about the recent 'cronies' in South Korea, which one did not bring down the president, and the several scandals that the Guardian of Zhongzhou and I told were no worse than these. ”
"If we overthrow the prime minister, will our family be able to ascend to the throne?"
"Not necessarily, but Japanese politics is bound to be chaotic for a while. If we don't do anything and continue to develop by it, we have no hope in the Mai family, only when there is political chaos and scandals are revealed, we will have a chance, and at that time, it will depend on how much Jiuyou can help us. ”

At six o'clock in the morning, before it was dark, Nangong Lie walked out of the house, jumped up, and flew in the northwest direction.
The place he was going to was the military base in the Badain Jaran Desert in the Northwest State, where it was the command center of the Nine Shadows Sword and the conference center of the Nine Shadows Transcendent Organization.
At the end of each month, the members of the Extraordinary Organization gather for a regular working meeting.
Today is the last day of November, and although it is a weekend, their regular meeting will continue as usual.
In the Nine Shades Transcendent Realm, the military base here is also called the "base station", and only a few people in power inside the Nine Shades Shield know its specific location, and the level of the rat is not qualified enough to know such secrets.
In the spacious and bright conference room, there were less than thirty people sitting, but these people were all "Yipin" officials of the Nine Shadows Transcendent Organization, people like Zhu Zhiyu and Pei Min belonged to the "Yipin" generals, not political officials.
At the conference table sat all the people, men and women, young and old, but all of them were B-level or higher.
And the host of this regular meeting was a mortal, Sun Renhui, the head of the "Special Command" of the Nine Shadows, this is a capable man in his early fifties, mainly responsible for handling the daily affairs between the transcendent and the mortal, and on either side of him sat Zhou Zhe, the commander of the Nine Shadows Sword, and Wei Ming, the commander of the Nine Shades Shield.
There is only one main topic of this meeting, which is the upcoming Fengshen Cup. This year's Fengshen Cup made Nangong Lie lose face, and Nangong Yulun was elected by the Nine Shadows Transcendent Organization as a contestant in the highest-level God of War Competition, and it was a cross-level competition.
Originally, everyone still had doubts about Nangong Yulun's strength, but this girl's strength has skyrocketed recently, and she has two artifacts in her hands, and she can already compete with Shangguan Qingyun.
The list of participants has been decided, but it seems that Shangguan Hong, the guardian of Beizhou, is still a little dissatisfied.
"My family's Qingyun is good at everything, but his heart is too soft, and he can't be ruthless to the enemy, let alone his own people. I see him fighting against Yulun girl, they are all polite and three-point, these two have had a good relationship since childhood, and they are like children playing at home, and they can't reflect the strength of the two at all. Such a rash faction of Yulun girls to participate in the adult group competition, I am inevitably a little anxious, but I am afraid that there will be jokes and damage my Jiuyou's face. ”
Nangong Lie didn't say a word when he heard this, he knew that Shangguan Hong was still worried about Nangong Yulun's "repentance", and at this time, he was naturally uncomfortable when he saw her competing across levels.
Everyone also looked at Nangong Lie, as if they wanted to see the excitement. At this time, Zhou Zhe, who was sitting next to Sun Renhui, opened his mouth and said, "Okay, Hong Lao, I have personally tested Yulun's strength, and it is definitely enough to participate in the adult God of War Competition, not to mention entering the top four, it should be no problem to qualify for the group stage." ”
Sun Renhui also spoke, "We won't discuss this matter anymore, let's talk about Lu An, he gave the Sword of the Nine Shadows 150 million dollars this time." We have investigated him, and we know that he has a close relationship with the Dark Council, but I don't know how close it is, and yesterday we saw on the news that he signed a cooperation agreement with the Japanese Mai family, he is a Nine Shadows mortal, how can he seem to have penetrated into the global transcendent realm, and besides, he also found the cadre Mo Evil Sword, what does he want to do?"
Speaking of this, Nangong Lie finally spoke: "I don't know the details of Lu An, but in the early hours of this morning, I saw Mai Shengping. This man is very interesting and ambitious, he wants to govern Japan......"
