Chapter 652: The Battle of the Islands VII
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a live report by NHK TV in front of the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Moriki proposed to recover the territorial rights of the four northern islands during his recent visit to Russia, and after serious consultations between the two sides, the Russian Government promised to return Shikotan Island and the Hamai Islands, but the Prime Minister's decision was fiercely opposed by Japanese politicians and people, and a demonstration was held in front of the Prime Minister's Office."
"People of insight in Japan believe that if the cabinet agrees to the Russian Government's conditions, it will be tantamount to a disguised recognition of the Russian Government's territorial rights to Kunashir Island and Setoshi Island, and that the two largest of the four northern islands will leave Japan's territory forever. The host of the TV station said to the camera, behind him was a crowd holding signs.
In the prime minister's office, a group of cabinet members looked at the angry prime minister, bowed their heads and said nothing, and when they made remarks, they would become cannon fodder for the prime minister if they didn't pay attention. Chief Cabinet Secretary Fukuda was secretly frightened, Wu Chen, the spiritual leader of the mercenary corps, was really right, this method really didn't work.
"They know what a fart, I finally persuaded the members of the Paris Club to unite to suppress the Russian government, and use the debt problem to force the other party to return the four northern islands, how much price and effort to pay! What you get in your hands is your own, what's the use of just shouting slogans? The Russian government is now in a period of unprecedented weakness, and once the economy recovers, will we still have cards to play? Mori was furious.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is a lot of debate in Parliament about this matter, but the MPs who support the reclaim of all four northern islands have the upper hand, and we have to face this reality. Now that the plan to recover the four northern islands has been implemented, and the opportunity is very precious, let's continue to take another step and try it out. ”
"Russia's economy is currently depressed and inflationary, the people are full of complaints about the current situation, the government is exhausted, and there is simply no way to come up with so much money to pay off the debt, maybe we can increase the aid and achieve this goal in a two-pronged way." Fukuda said.
"Okay, then I would like to ask Prime Minister Tanakami to visit Russia on behalf of the Cabinet, with the aim of recovering the territorial rights of the four northern islands at one time, and as for what conditions to offer to the Russian Government, we will now discuss them carefully. Everyone knows the significance of the four northern islands to Japan, and the difficulty of this matter is also clear, and what Russia lacks most at this stage is money, and my principle is that as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem! Moriki is still very serious about Fukuda and agrees with his suggestion.
Japan's reaction was very much defaceless to the Russian Government, and for this reason, many high-ranking officials in Russia scolded them outright, believing that the Japanese were insatiable and that the Russian Government had rarely made a concession once, and that you did not cherish it.
Japanese Foreign Minister Tanaka led a delegation to the Russian capital, hoping to restart talks with Russia on the four northern islands, and revealed that this time the Japanese Government is very sincere in resolving the issue and is willing to come up with more generous conditions to thoroughly resolve the dispute between the two countries over the four northern islands.
To put it bluntly, it is the uncle who has money, Tanaka's meaning is obvious, I came with a check, isn't your Russian government short of funds, our Japanese government has, we can invest in Russian oil and gas, we can make loans to you, and we can also provide free assistance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the ABC reported to you in the Russian capital that after the delegation led by the Japanese foreign minister came here, there was no clear response from the Russian government, and President Park Kim did not agree to start negotiations on this issue, and the Russian people who got the news took to the streets one after another to strongly protest the behavior of the Japanese delegation, demanding that the government could not agree to Japan's conditions under any circumstances, and that no one could give it to Japan, which is a shame for Russia!" ABC reporters said to the camera.
Japan and Russia have been entangled in the issue of the four northern islands for many years, and the governments of all countries in the world have not been much surprised to hear that these two countries have begun to toss around this matter again.
"If you see it, I will say that these two countries will never talk about it together, Russia attaches great importance to territory and is world-famous, and it is already a last resort under economic pressure to promise to return the two islands first, but Japan is also a persistent nation, and it feels that it has many abilities, and it has to take all four northern islands in one fell swoop, which touches the bottom line of President Park Kim." At the U.S. presidential office, Mr. President held a small meeting and briefly chatted about the territorial dispute between Japan and Russia.
"Actually, the current solution is very good, if Russia is strong, the territorial issue will not be discussed with Japan, and it is not a good thing to have too much appetite, it is possible to support yourself to death, and it is possible to starve yourself to death, what is going on?" When the Minister of Defense said this, he was dumbfounded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the latest news, when Russian President Prim Kim was interviewed by this reporter, he revealed that he was ready to start negotiations on the territorial issue of the South Kuril Islands, although he did not say more explicitly, but according to the purpose of Prime Minister Tanakami's visit, it can be inferred that the Russian Government is ready to accept the Japanese Government's conditions and return all the South Kuril Islands to Japan." A reporter from NBC suddenly made such a news.
The news was no less than the explosion of a nuclear bomb, which immediately caused a sensation in all countries in the world, and the first thing that was excited was, of course, Japan, and not only the cabinet members and parliamentarians cheered, but also watched the signal footage transmitted by the satellite of the Japanese television station, and countless Japanese took to the streets to cheer the return of the four northern islands to Japan's territory.
The Japanese government suppressed the Russian government, and this was the first time in the world, those crazy men and women, in excitement, actually took off their shirts and waved and shouted, the men were naked, the women only wore underwear, and drunk men and women could be seen everywhere on the streets that night, this kind of scene can be called a group of demons dancing.
"The Japanese Government warmly welcomes the decision of the Russian Presidential Office, and this negotiation will open a new page in the history of Japan and Russia, and the Japanese Government is willing to work hand in hand with the Russian Government to strengthen military and economic cooperation and encourage Japanese enterprises to invest in Russia," Japanese Prime Minister Moriki said solemnly in an interview with a television station.
However, the Japanese Prime Minister's speech made the US Presidential Office and the Department of Defense anxious, and what did the Japanese Government want to do, and did it want to use the strength of the Russian Government to get rid of the influence of the US Government? Please, you guys figure it out, it's pure wishful thinking, don't dream, will the U.S. government allow such a thing to happen?
