"Boss, there is something I call the bill on my own, now I will report it to you, please forgive me!" Inujiro said with a rare look of embarrassment.

Although Inujiro said this, Tang Ning didn't believe that he dared to do anything out of the ordinary behind his back, and he still had confidence in this kind of henchman who he had pulled up with one hand, so he asked with a smile: "Say, Ergouzi, what mistake did you make again?" ”

Inujiro scratched his hair and whispered: "Yesterday, a little actor came to me to rent the Cherokee, and the time was too tight at that time, so I didn't have time to report to you, so I made my own decisions, collected a large deposit, and rented the plane to him." Then he glanced up at Tang Ning and continued: "Actually, I know what he is renting this plane for, he is going to die with the son of a bastard. ”

"Who is this little actor?" Tang Ning asked with a frown.

Inujiro explained: "His name is Maeno Mitsuho, and he is a young actor who made that film, and for a while he became popular because he made a bunch of small movies on the plane, but he has never been a starring actor. This guy is a standard fanatic, isn't this the thing that the United States exposed in the United States a while ago that Kodama and Marubeni defrauded the country's property, so Maeno Koho plans to kill Kodama, a national thief and a big embezzler, I think that this Kodama has always been at odds with us anyway, so take the opportunity to get rid of him! ”

Inujiro's reference to Kodama and Marubeni's defrauding of state property is actually referring to the "Lockheed Incident," which is one of Japan's four major post-war scandals. On February 4, 1976, at a hearing, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Transnational Corporations of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Qiu Biqi, exposed the fact of unfair competition in which Lockheed Corporation bribed foreign dignitaries in various names in order to sell aircraft abroad. At the hearing, the company's vice chairman confirmed that through its Japanese agency, Marubeni, he had given a huge amount of money to relevant figures in Japanese political circles for the import of Samsung airliners produced by All Nippon Airways.

As soon as this matter was revealed, it immediately caused an uproar in Japan. Not only did all the public opinion and media focus on this, but it also caused a shock in the government and the opposition. Then-Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Miki urgently convened a meeting of the Liberal Democratic Party and the cabinet to announce his support for the judicial department to carry out the investigation. A special commission of inquiry was also established. At the same time, he ordered the foreign secretary to carry out 'case-handling diplomacy' and demanded that the United States provide all materials related to Japan to provide strong evidence for the domestic handling of the case.

On February 18, the Supreme Public Prosecutors' Office, the Tokyo High Public Prosecutors' Office, and the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors' Office held a joint meeting with the National Tax Agency. On February 24, the Public Prosecutor's Office, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the National Tax Agency joined forces. Simultaneous searches were carried out on 37 premises, including the residences of Marubeni and its related persons.

On 24 March, at Japan's strong request, the United States and Japan signed an "Agreement on Mutual Legal Assistance," agreeing to provide Japan with materials related to the Lockheed case. Japanese prosecutors found a receipt of 500 million yen from Kakuei Tanaka. After obtaining this crucial evidence, the prosecution did not take it lightly, but expanded the scope of the investigation. By July, the Japanese procuratorial organs had arrested the chairman of the Marubeni Company and a number of other important figures involved in the case, obtained corresponding evidence, and prepared public opinion for the arrest of Kakuei Tanaka.

July 27th. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office formally arrested Kakuei Tanaka and announced that he had been arrested on suspicion of accepting bribes totaling 500 million yen from Lockheed Corporation on four occasions through Marubeni during his tenure as Prime Minister from August 1973 to February 1974, and had decided to arrest him on suspicion of violating the Foreign Exchange Act. Subsequently, after nearly a month-long interrogation, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office decided to indict Kakuei Tanaka for violating foreign exchange laws and fiduciating bribes, with the indictment alleging that during his tenure as prime minister, he had been asked by Lockheed and Marubeni to have All Nippon Airways import Samsung airliners. Utilizing the power of the Prime Minister, he instructed the Minister of Transport to introduce it. Later, according to the previous agreement, he accepted 500 million yen in cash from Lockheed Corporation. On August 17, Kakuei Tanaka was released on bail after paying 200 million yen on bail.

However, no one could have predicted that this was only the beginning of a battle. After being released on bail, Kakuei Tanaka organized a strong team of lawyers to defend himself from multiple angles. Shortly thereafter, due to the negligence of the prosecution, the driver of the key witness, Kakuei Tanaka, committed suicide, his secretary retracted his confession, and various political forces intervened. The trial of the case was full of twists and turns. Kakuei Tanaka continued to introduce new witnesses and evidence, and at the same time, he tried to argue in law that the prime minister's authority could hardly have a real impact on the private airlines' own dealings. At the same time, the procuratorate put forward various counter-evidence to refute Tanaka Kakuei, and finally revealed the retraction of Tanaka Kakuei and his secretary's confession through the testimony of the ex-wife of Tanaka's secretary.

As an important witness, Kodama Yushio naturally had to be summoned by the Diet, but he did not attend due to illness. Kodama has a very tough personality, and even if the Lockheed case happened, it has been included in the scope of investigation due to conclusive evidence, and it is still strong. On the one hand, he said that he was sick and did not accept the investigation in court, and on the other hand, because of his powerful power, he had a fierce attitude and did not care.

All of a sudden, Kodama became a big embezzler and a "national thief" that everyone in Japan shouted at. Left-wing activists organized several protests in front of Kodama's house, and although there were thousands of them, the momentum was huge, but to no avail. Angry Japanese people went to Kodama's house to petition, but were treated with cold water, and reporters gathered outside Kodama were beaten by Kodama drives.

As a result, Maeno Mitsuho privately released a bold statement, "Kodama Yushio is not a right-winger, he is just a power grabber in the name of the emperor." "Kodama Yushifu, this kid is not a thing! Look how Lao Tzu cleans him up! He also threatened: longevity and longevity are not as good as instant flashes! I want to use the plane to hold a "personal all-round performance" and so on.

This Maeno Mitsuho was 29 years old at the time. He was originally the son of the owner of the futon shop, but because he was an only son, his father wanted his son to become Jackie Chan, and asked him to join the children's theater troupe, sent him to the "actor training school", and spent more than 1.3 million yen to get him an airplane driver's license, bent on cultivating him into a "big star". Speaking of films, he participated in the filming of "Close Your Eyes and Rush" at the age of 15, and also played a mass role in "Tide Sao" (original by Yukio Mishima) starring big star Sayuri Yoshinaga. In 1971, after the "Nikhuo" studio made XX films, Mitsuho Maeno began to play the role of a man in it, and the aerial footage caused a big uproar in public opinion. It wasn't until the filming of "Mrs. Emmanel Tokyo" that he was reluctantly promoted to the second leading role. But at heart he was a standard kamikaze-style right-wing fanatic.

Of course, no matter what kind of molecule he is, Tang Ning is happy to see this kind of thing, after all, he has long been unpleasant to Kodama. (To be continued.) )
