"The Mitsui chaebol has promised to fully support Sosuke Hojo's candidacy for prime minister, but we have paid a lot of money to convince the Mitsui zaibatsu, I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks of this gift?" Martha said lightly.

The crown prince's face turned red instantly when he heard her words, and he clenched his fists tightly and said, "Great! With the support of the Mitsui chaebol, the certainty of success is even greater. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then I will congratulate you in advance." Martha chuckled.

The crown prince calmed down his excitement and said, "Miss Martha, as long as we can restore the royal family to its former glory, we will definitely do what we promised you!" ”

In the impression of outsiders, the royal family of the Japanese Kingdom has always been low-key and almost never participates in any political affairs, but who can understand their hardship? It's not that they don't want to participate, it's that they simply don't qualify!

Since the end of World War II, the life of the royal family has become more and more difficult, and they have been stripped of their rights and completely reduced to mascots.

Even the Imperial Palace, located in the center of Tokyo, and the East Palace Palace, where the crown prince lived, are now nationalized, and they are just 'borrowing'!

Especially in recent years, during the Great Depression, some people began to call for a reduction in the funding for the imperial family, and some even proposed that the royal family members move out of the palace and open the palace to the outside world as a tourist attraction.

This makes the members of the royal family feel quite aggrieved, the power of the country has been handed over, we just want to find a place to be a mascot and enjoy a life of peace and stability, which you don't want to? It's just too deceitful!

Faced with this situation, the Japanese royal family decided not to sit idly by, or sooner or later, the Japanese royal family would completely disappear and become history.

They want to resist, even if they can't have full control of the country like the emperor in World War II, then at least they have to change the status quo, and they can't be a mascot that is still slaughtered!

But it is easier said than done, the influence of the royal family on the political circles of the Japanese country is extremely limited, although the royal family still has a high status in the hearts of ordinary people, but politics has always ignored the opinions of the people, and members of the royal family are not allowed to enter politics.

Therefore, the imperial family of the Wa Kingdom planned to train a pro-emperor to be sent to take charge of the power of the Wa Kingdom, so as to stabilize the position of the imperial family.

Hojo Sousuke is the person they chose, speaking of this Hojo Sousuke, many people may be very unfamiliar with him, this guy is a representative of the extreme right shili of the Japanese country, a fanatical militarist!

Since the defeat in World War II, the militarists of the Japanese state have died down, until the great depression of the Japanese economy in recent years, the militarist elements have begun to re-emerge, they believe that it is precisely because the Japanese country has taken the wrong line of development that the situation today has been created, and if the Japanese state resumes the militarist line, then it will definitely become a hegemonic country! And Sousuke Hojo is one of the leading figures.

The militarists were the biggest supporters of the Imperial Family, so the Imperial Family had high hopes for Sosuke Hojo, hoping that he would help the Imperial Family change the current miserable situation.

With the secret help of the royal family and the mysterious shili represented by Martha, Sosuke Hojo has gone from a clown-like political fringe figure to a rising star in Japanese politics in less than a year.

Especially recently, Sosuke Hojo has been particularly high-profile, he will always jump out from time to time to criticize the ruling party, attribute the situation facing the country today to the inaction of the ruling party, and repeatedly emphasize in public that a strong army is the foundation of a strong country! If the Wa Kingdom had a strong military strength, how could it be so landed?

This statement instantly aroused the approval of countless people, in recent years, the ordinary people of the country have had a hard time, they have already had a deep resentment against the government but can't find the opportunity to vent, and now someone finally jumped out to criticize the ruling party, these ordinary people who have long been dissatisfied with the ruling party are like finding an organization.

As for Sousuke Hojo's statement that a strong army is the foundation of a strong country, this has also been recognized by many people.

Everyone knows that the "Plaza Accord" that the United States forced the Japanese government to sign was the real cause of the Great Depression in Japan!

If the Japanese have military strength comparable to or even stronger than that of the United States, then will the United States dare to bully the Japanese like this? In this way, it seems that Sosuke Hojo's statement that a strong army is the foundation of a strong country is not wrong at all!

In addition, the recent sudden revelation that Huaxia has begun to build its own aircraft carrier, which makes the people of the Wa Kingdom even more worried, the relationship between Huaxia and the Wa State is well known to the world, and now even Huaxia is so strong, will the Wa State have a good life in the future?

For a time, the voices of support for Hojo Sosuke became louder and louder, and some militarist radicals even went around preaching slogans for the ruling party to get out of power and for Hojo Sosuke to lead the country out of the predicament.

But it is not enough to have the support of the people, and now the power of the Japanese country is basically in the hands of the four major chaebols, if you want Hojo Sosuke to take the position, you must get the support of the four major chaebols!

As we all know, the Mitsubishi chaebol has always been the representative of the right wing of the Japanese state, and they are the largest arms manufacturer in the Japanese country.

Now Martha has succeeded in convincing the Mitsui chaebol again, so that two of the four major chaebols support Sosuke Hojo, which is indeed a great birthday present for the crown prince.

"I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not break his word." A seductive smile appeared on Martha's face.

The cooperation with the Japanese royal family is just that everyone takes what they need.

Martha's organization has always been based in Europe, and now if the organization wants to get involved in Asia, it must first have a soil that can live.

The situation of the Japanese royal family is very bad now, and they need support from the outside world, so the organization and the Japanese royal family hit it off and reached a cooperative relationship.

In return, the Japanese Imperial Family will open the door to the development of the organization in the Japanese Kingdom, and in the future, the Japanese Kingdom will become the headquarters of the organization in Asia!

In order to help the Japanese royal family, the organization really wasted a lot of effort this time, especially the Mitsui chaebol paid a lot of money to get their support.

But in Martha's opinion, all this is worth it, don't look at the current royal family of the Wa Kingdom seems to have taken advantage, but when the darkness descends on the Wa Kingdom, what is the value of everything that has been paid now?

The crown prince got up and poured three glasses of red wine, and after handing them to Martha and Jack, he raised his glass and said, "Miss Martha, it is my honor to meet you, thank you for your help to me, I think we will have a very happy cooperation in the future." ”

"Of course, in the future, we will have to rely more on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for our development in the Wa Kingdom." Martha raised her glass and touched it gently.

Putting down the wine glass, the crown prince said again: "I heard that there seems to be some accident on the Yamaguchi-gumi side recently?" ”

Martha glanced at the crown prince, and then chuckled: "The crown prince doesn't need to worry, a little thing won't affect the overall situation." ”

"In that case, I'm relieved."

As the largest yakuza in the Wa Kingdom, the Yamaguchi-gumi have unparalleled influence in the middle and lower classes, if it is said that who is the prime minister of the Wa Kingdom depends on the face of the four major chaebols, then whether he can sit firmly in the position of prime minister depends on the meaning of the Yamaguchi-gumi!

After all, even if you are pushed up, if the public support is too low during your administration, you will be ousted.

And although the Yamaguchi-gumi can interfere in the choice of prime minister like the four major chaebols, he can influence public opinion!

Therefore, the Shili crown prince like the Yamaguchi-gumi must be in his own hands, which is why Martha intervened in the battle for the leadership of the Yamaguchi-gumi.
