Chapter 124: The Showa Denko Incident (Appearance of Book Friend Katsura Hachi)
Everyone thinks what Tang Ning said is quite reasonable, this kind of thing with low-level fun as a selling point will inevitably not last long, and to be honest, although the momentum of pink movies has been very fierce recently, it has not affected everyone's income much, and the films in various theaters are still selling well, so everyone has stopped.
And Tang Ning had a rare rest for a few months, except for inspecting the production of Okinawa and Kokura and the training of the Okinawa escorts, the rest of the time was spent accompanying his women and looking for Mike and them to drink and drink tea with Takeda Yixiong, and a comfortable year passed.
But the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Tang Ning wants to live an easy life, but things always hit him. On this day, Tang Ning was sighing while reading the newspaper, because a few days ago, that is, on March 25, 1948, the last emperor Puyi's sister Manchukuo Guoan** Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief of the North China People's Self-Defense Army successively participated in the Huanggutun Incident 918 Incident and personally planned the Shanghai 128 Incident that shocked China and foreign countries.
Tang Ning has no pity for such a female devil, his only regret is that he canβ¦'t see this grand occasion, including the scene where Zhou Fohai's gang of traitors were executed, he didn't have a chance to go, but he must not miss this grand event held in Tokyo at the end of this year.
Just as he was thinking nonsense, the new guard captain Watanabe knocked on the door to report that Young Master Yoshida Keihachi came to visit, this Yoshida Keihachi is the grandson of the former Prime Minister Yoshida Shigeru, and his personality is similar to that of Jimmy DuPont in the United States, both of whom are a young man. Since he cooperated with Yoshida Shigeru, this guy has been in charge of the cinema under Yoshida Shigeru, saying that he is in charge, but in fact, his job is to contact Tang Ning, Yoshida Shigeru means to let Tang Ning help discipline his little grandson who does not learn and has no skills, because he is not afraid of ordinary Japanese now. Americans can still make him scruple a little, and Downing is about the same age as him, so he should have a common language. To deal with such a gentleman, Tang Ning naturally has a way, and it didn't take long for the two of them to talk about everything, well, in fact, it was naturally that Eighth Young Master Gui had nothing to say about Tang Ning, and Tang Ning was just fooling him.
But even so. The relationship between the two is still very good, but today's visit still surprised Tang Ning, because this young master doesn't like sparsely populated Okinawa, so he has always been in the bustling and lively Tokyo, so he must have something to do this time!
Although Tang Ning had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still taken aback when he saw Keishachi Yoshida, this young man who had always been happy was full of frustration. Tang Ning asked with some curiosity, "Gui Ba, what's wrong with you?" β
Keihachi Yoshida said dejectedly, "Tony." Don't you know that my grandfather lost to Jun Ashida in the election a few days ago, and he was only three votes short! It's only three votes! I passed by the young master of the Prime Minister's Office. β
Downing had known about it for a long time, but he was not surprised at all, because it was exactly the same history as he knew. In my memory, the prime minister of Ashida Jun fell after only six months, and then Yoshida Shigeru was re-elected as prime minister for four consecutive terms, creating a miracle in the history of Japanese prime ministers.
So Tang Ning laughed very relaxedly: "It's not that your grandfather has never been a prime minister, isn't he in office when he was 46 years old." β
Yoshida Keihachi said a little depressed: "But wasn't it a war at that time, I was hiding in Turkey." When the situation stabilized and I came back, my grandfather's position was snatched away by Tetsu Katayama, I didn't enjoy the days of the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion this day, I thought it should be no problem this time, but I didn't expect to lose to Ashida Jun by three votes, and now Ashida Yoko's stinky woman's eyes are high to the sky, and she doesn't pay attention to me at all. β
Tang Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this, and hoped that his grandfather could become the prime minister in the eyes of this eldest young master, just for this. He thought for a moment and said to Yoshida Keihachi: "Actually, if you want Ashida Jun to fall, it's not impossible to help your grandfather take the position, it depends on whether your grandfather dares to do it." β
Yoshida Keihachi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you brother, do you really have a way to get that old thing from power?" β
Tang Ning nodded: "Of course, when did I lie to you?" β
"Well, that's right, you really never lied to me, so you can tell me this good way quickly, so that I can show off in front of my grandfather." Keihachi Yoshida asked.
Tang Ning shook his head: "This is not good, I have to tell your grandfather about this matter personally, I can't believe your kid's mouth, don't let you drink too much and yell out about such a secret thing, it will be troublesome." β
Keishachi Yoshida said with some disbelief: "Is my wine so bad?" β
Tang Ning nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes!" Do you need me to help you recall? β
Yoshida Keihachi said with some embarrassment: "Well, okay, but you can't fool me about this, this is a big deal, I'll go back and tell my grandfather now, let him come to you." β
Tang Ning hurriedly stopped him: "How can you let someone of your grandfather's age come to see me, you make an appointment, I will visit your grandfather." β
In Tangning's heart, he naturally hopes that Japan will be as chaotic as possible, and a political strongman like Shigeru Yoshida should have been eliminated as soon as possible, but first, there are some things that are difficult to prevent, such as the Showa Electric case that led to the downfall of the Ashida-kun cabinet; Second, even if Yoshida Shigeru is eliminated, no one can guarantee that there will not be a second similar figure coming to power, after all, after the situation in Asia is clear, the United States, out of its own interests, needs a strong conservative figure in Japan to come to power; The third is that Tang Ning really doesn't have the strength to kill Yoshida Shigeru unknowingly for the time being, plus the current relationship between himself and Yoshida Shigeru is still very good, if he helps him on the road back to the position of prime minister, the relationship between the two sides will be more stable, and when the US troops withdraw from Japan in the future, their activities in Japan can still be a help. Based on the above considerations, Tang Ning decided to take advantage of the situation to help Yoshida Shigeru.
It can be seen that Yoshida Shigeru is indeed unwilling to lose this time, and after learning from his grandson Yoshida Keihachi that Tang Ning has a way to get Ashida Jun to step down, he asked Yoshida Keihachi to inform Tang Ning on the same day, telling him that he can come to see him at any time.
So early the next morning, Tang Ning rushed to Yoshida's mansion, Yoshida Shigeru received him very warmly, and after the two greeted him for a while, Yoshida Shigeru casually mentioned as if he didn't care: "Tony, I heard Gui Ba say, you know a little bit of secretive things, are you interested in sharing it with my old man." β
