Chapter 109: The Hidden Chess of the Wakos

ps: Yesterday the two watches of heaven did not break their promises, and today this chapter is also here ^_^

In the Pacific Northwest, the capital of the Wako Kingdom, Tokyo, in the most prosperous financial district, Marunouchi, is home to a towering modern skyscraper that is the headquarters of the Mitsubishi zaibatsu. Speaking of the Japanese chaebols, in today's Japanese society, there are six major chaebols: Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji (Hibiscus), Sanwa, and Daiichi Tsung. Each of them has its own core major bank and general trading company, which is composed of Xing enterprises, which are representatives of the main industrial sectors in Japan.

The Mitsubishi chaebol, on the other hand, is one of the six largest chaebols, founded in 1954 and consists of 28 large companies. Its managers will be called "Jinyao Society", and the core companies are: Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Kirin Beer, Asahi Glass, etc. Its semi-operating and semi-monopoly industries are automobiles, complete sets of equipment, munitions, electronics, petrochemicals, aircraft, shipbuilding, nuclear energy, etc., and most importantly, it controls the Japanese arms industry.

Although the Mitsubishi chaebol can usually be said to be a loose association between the major member companies, there is no upper and lower domination relationship, but in fact, they can still rank their names internally according to the scale, output value, status, and importance of their own enterprises. Now occupying the first position within the Mitsubishi chaebol is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, President Kazuo Tsukuda. The main reason why the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries under his leadership has become the "first brother" in the Mitsubishi chaebol is that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is the leading shipbuilding, rocket manufacturing, oil, natural gas, thermal power, nuclear power plant development and heavy machinery manufacturer in China, and more importantly, it is also the largest arms dealer in the country, contracting the production of 30% of the defense products of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. As a result, even within the Wako Self-Defense Forces, Kazuo Tsukuda has become a figure they have to rely on.

At this time, on the top floor of the Mitsubishi Building, in a large and comfortable president's room, Kazuo Tsukuda was discussing the company's business with his eldest son, Tsukumi Munero.

"Zonglang, I am very satisfied with the results you have achieved recently in charge of the navy of the Stars and Stripes Republic, and you have done a good job!" Kazuo Tsukuda said to his eldest son, Tsukushi Munero, that as for what he was satisfied with, he actually meant that not long ago, the guided missile cruiser USS Lake Erie of the Navy, of the Stars and Stripes, successfully tested a sea-based interceptor missile equipped with a warhead cone developed by the Wako in the waters of Hawaii. This is the first time that the Stars and Stripes Republic has used components developed by the Wako in the testing of a missile defense system.

"Hey! It's all because of your teaching, Father, that I can achieve such good results! Tsukudano bowed and replied.

"Don't be modest, your results are your achievements, and no one can hide them. However, you should pay attention to it recently, and spend more time with His Excellency Osamu Inoue of the Self-Defense Forces, and I heard the news that because of the growing dispute between the Republic of Yan and Huang over the fishing DAO, the Self-Defense Forces intend to increase the procurement budget in terms of armaments this year, which is an opportunity for our Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Tenant Kazuo said.

"Hey! Father, don't worry, I'll definitely get the order, but..."Tsukudano replied with some hesitation.

"What's the matter, don't be as stumbling as Kasan (the name of a Japanese man for his own woman), and say it directly if you have something to say!" The tenant said in a slightly reprimanding tone.

"Hey, Father, I have been in contact with the heirs of other consortia recently, they are very divided into the outcome of the war between our country and the Yanhuang Republic, there are those who are extremely afraid, and there are those who despise and contempt, the arguments of both sides sound reasonable, I am a little confused, although I know that the possibility of the two countries going to war because of the fishing dao is very small, but I do want to know, once the war starts, what are the chances of our side winning?" Tsukumi Zonglang hesitated for a moment, but still expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Is there a war~~~" Hearing his son ask him about fishing dao, Tsukushi Kazuo did not answer immediately, but gently tapped the desk with his right hand, and only after about 3 minutes did he speak: "You have been involved in the company's business for nearly 20 years, I want to hear your opinions and opinions first, what is the conclusion in your heart?" ”

"Well, I once flipped through the analysis of the company's strategic intelligence department, and also sorted out my country's economic and military development strategy in the past 20 years." Hearing his father's slightly test-like question, Tsui Zonglang replied cautiously, "The outside world, especially in the Yanhuang Republic, has been advocating our so-called" lost 20 years ", in fact, they don't know at all that we have already changed the measurement method of the economy, abandoned the so-called GDP economic growth rate assessment, and began to focus on improving the internal quality of the economy. Low-end industries such as printing have been abandoned by us and supported by many cutting-edge technologies in various industries. ”

"Oh~~" I didn't expect my son to have a good study of macroeconomic composition, and the tenant and husband said encouragingly: "To be specific, I want to listen carefully." ”

"Hey!" Hearing his father's non-blunt reprimand, Tsukuda Soro knew that his views had won some of his father's approval, so he continued in a slightly excited tone: "In terms of technology as a whole, Japan has now changed from a technology importer to a technology exporter, and the most obvious thing is that in the 25 years from 1956 when Japan signed the Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement with the Republic of Stars and Stripes to 1980, In total, the Republic of the Stars and Stripes has provided our country with about 32,000 military technologies, large and small (think of the difficulty of Yan Huang having to fight on his own-_-#), while we have provided 'zero' to the Stars and Stripes during the same period. But now, we are a world leader in optical fiber technology, semiconductors, superconducting technology, intelligent robots and other fields, and in the military fields such as software processing, radar, communication network management, microelectronics and special materials, we have an advantage that the Republic of Stars and Stripes cannot match. At present, in the current weapons and equipment in service of the Star-Spangled Banner, the high-strength steel used in submarines is produced by us; Special ceramic materials for vehicles and fighter engines are developed by us; Eighty percent of the core components of cruise missiles -- microelectronic chips -- are produced by Chinese enterprises. Even the "coat" of the F-117 stealth fighter, which was once the most proud of the Stars and Stripes Republic, was also developed by China. If their cruise missiles use our chip, the error is 15 meters, and if they are not used, the error will be 60 meters, so if there is no technology provided by us, the Xing energy of these weapons will be greatly discounted. From this point of view, China's mutual defense assistance with the Stars and Stripes has transitioned from unilateral protection to mutual need and interdependence. ”

"Well, so you mean that once the war starts, the Stars and Stripes Republic will intervene without hesitation?" Kazuo asked.

"Hey, I think it's a big possibility!"

"Zonglang, I remember saying a long time ago that you should never put your hopes and chips on others." After hearing his son's views, Kazuo Tsuku, president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, was a little dissatisfied and commented: "Although we have left Yanhuang far behind in terms of economic aggregate and quality, modern war is a war of the entire national system, so even if we have made great achievements in many aspects, we have been in a leading position in 16 of the 23 cutting-edge science and technology fields today, and relatively leading in 4 fields (the United States is leading in 8 fields and relatively leading in 15 fields). But it can't hide a basic fact, that is, now we can no longer build third-generation fighters, once the war starts, the loss of one will reduce one, and there is no way to replenish itself, and the F15J we are using now is a castrated version of the Star-Spangled Banner, Xing can be worried, and there is still the so-called Second Artillery Corps in Yanhuang. ”

"But father, in history, Yan Huang never launched a long-distance cross-sea campaign, and the Korean War in 1950 was just a ground battle, their army is indeed strong, but the sea is fighting for equipment and technology, and it is no longer an era when you can win with a spirit of spirit and millet plus rifles. As long as we don't start a national war, we can completely gain local advantages. And if there is no war, then we only need to use economic means to conquer the domestic market and make them our economic colonies forever. Aren't those Yanhuang people always clamoring for some major breakthroughs in science and technology to fill the so-called knowledge gap? However, most of them do not know that the first stage of new technology is from research to maturity, and the second stage is from maturity to application. And the time of this second stage is 10~15 years. Now we want to apply a new technology, which matured 10 years ago. What we show them will always be 20 years behind what we hide in the laboratory! ”

"Zonglang, even if what you said is correct and we win, then what can we gain? The market of the Yanhuang Continent will definitely be lost, and some of the cities in our country will definitely be hit by the Yanhuang missile force, what can the Patriot air defense of the Star Spanglers have, you have also seen the corresponding detailed evaluation report, what do you get by fighting a war that kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred? Only a small island that is in our hands in the first place? Kazuo was a little disappointed with his son's overconfidence and said.

"What do you think, father?"

"Maintain the status quo and wait for the opportunity, the status quo Yanhuang Republic has many internal problems, once the contradictions intensify, it is not impossible to split and disintegrate on its own, what will be the outcome of the Soviet Union when it is so huge, so now our own main problem is development, savings, waiting for opportunities!"

"Hey! I see, Father. ”

"Okay, let's get down to business, Rear Admiral Karl of the Star-Spangled Banner Republic is coming tomorrow, how are you prepared, he is the real power person who holds part of the Star-Spangled Banner's navy procurement funds." When it comes to issues related to the company's performance, Tenant Kazuo asked seriously.

"Rest assured, father, I have ordered the subordinates of the Star-Spangled Banner Branch to hire professionals to conduct a detailed investigation, and found that although Rear Admiral Karl later rose to the top of many military leadership positions, he did not serve as a captain in the submarine force in the early days, and later talked about this many times in his chats with friends. Therefore, I plan to visit the Self-Defense Force submarine on the high seas in the name of inviting him to inspect it, and then invite him to become a temporary submarine captain when I get to the high seas, so as to fulfill his dream of becoming a submarine captain and win his favor. Hearing Tsukushi's question, Tsukudano replied cautiously.

"Well, yes, the other woman for him should be more careful, be sure to cater to his tastes, the stars and stripes are sometimes weird, and the aesthetic views are very different from our mainstream views." Another point suddenly came to mind in the head of the tenant and the husband, and admonished.

"Hey, what my father said is that I am also ready in this regard, 2 aid girls are ready, Major General Karl likes to be relatively older, I have specially selected a good service to him that meets his taste, and the human banquet has also been booked, and he will be satisfied when the time comes." Tsukudano continued to reply.

"Is the submarine side ready?"

"No problem, I've already greeted Captain Takuya, tomorrow afternoon he has specially arranged a submarine sailing training, the submarine is the Yae ChΓ‘o (the latest pro-ChΓ‘o-class submarine of the Japanese Kou), the captain on it is our people, very safe."

"Well, you must pay attention to secrecy, and you can't let competitors seize the handle."

"Hey!"
