Chapter 330: Desperate
A private mansion in Mitsumasa Sato, country B on the earth, is very lively, Mitsumasa Sato's cronies, aides and many celebrities are gathering here at the moment to congratulate Mitsumasa Sato on another victory, because the latest ** survey shows that his support rate has risen by another five percent, and he has begun to lead, and some parliamentarians who oppose him have also turned to support Mitsumasa Sato because of his tough policies, according to this momentum, Mitsumasa Sato no longer needs to raise a motion of no confidence in the government and reshuffle the government, He can directly rely on the election to win in the upcoming third phase of the elections, which will be more beneficial for him to come to power.
This good record also has a lot to do with the unremitting efforts of Hideo Ikeda of the Xuanwu Society, a while ago the involvement of Li Gang's company made Hideo Ikeda realize that Eisuke Sato is trying to find a way to weaken his own power, which is a very bad sign for Hideo Ikeda, if it is not for the support of Hirosuke Sato, Ikeda himself may not be able to hold on for a few months, and he will be robbed of his throne by the powerful factions of the Xuanwu Society, so Hideo Ikeda has been very cautious recently, and his ambitions have also been restrained. I'm doing a lot of things according to Sato Hongsuke's orders.。
According to Sato Komasa's instructions, in order to support Mitsumasa Sato's campaign, Hideo Ikeda used all the resources of the Xuanwu Society, and hundreds of thousands of people in the whole society became the drummers of Mitsumasa Sato. Kosuke Sato did not meddle in the management of the Xuanwu Society, but agreed to Hideo Ikeda to do his own thing, which gradually calmed Hideo's mind again.
Dressed in a crisp black suit and holding a glass of red wine in his hand, Mitsumasa Sato walked through a crowd of people dressed in fine clothes, greeting the wife of the congressman and the lady of the high-ranking official from time to time.
Mitsumasa Sato was taken aback when he spotted Hideo Ikeda in the crowd, who was holding one of his lover's waists and laughing loudly with an electronics tycoon. Mitsumasa Sato looked around and didn't find the reporter, and when the merchant left, he pretended to be leisurely and walked up to Ikeda and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ikeda, why did you come here, you know that your identity will be bad for me!" ”
Hideo Ikeda also looked around and replied in a low voice: "Your father asked me to come, and he asked me to take the lead in donating money on behalf of the construction industry at a fundraiser, and he said that if I donate 10 billion yuan at once, other people will be embarrassed to donate less, so that your campaign funds will be abundant and you will have a serious way to come." ”
"Oh, but he didn't tell me about it, doesn't he think it's bad for you to open the road?"
"He just said to me in the afternoon, you were in a cabinet meeting at that time, and I was also worried about this, but he said it doesn't matter, saying that I am also a business tycoon and an elite in society, and those rumors should not be taken seriously, this is also a good opportunity for the Xuanwu Society to be open and legitimized."
Mitsumasa Sato nodded, although he didn't know what his father was going to do, but he knew that Hideo Ikeda didn't dare to talk nonsense about this matter, so he said: "Okay, then you can do it yourself, I have to meet with a few parliamentarians, and I'll see you at the donation party in a while." ”
Mitsumasa Sato's younger sister Tomoko Sato may be the only person at this banquet who doesn't want her brother to be in power, because she has studied in country A and has her own opinions, and she disapproves of many of Mitsumasa's ideas because she prefers to live peacefully. As the third daughter born to Sato Hongsuke before his transformation, Tomoko Sato is now a surgeon in a large national hospital, and she knows a little about things in the family, but out of respect for her mother, she has always tolerated the wanton behavior of her father and brothers, and the death of her younger brother Taro Sato made Tomoko full of resentment towards her father and brothers, but she listens to her gentle mother's words, so on the surface she still has to respect the choice of her father and brother.
Tomoko Sato was accompanying her sister-in-law Rie Sato in the banquet hall at this time, because there were many female guests today, so the two of them seemed a little busy, and kept greeting the ladies and ladies of dignitaries, Hideo Ikeda's appearance also surprised Tomoko Sato, she found her brother Mitsumasa Sato, who had just left Hideo Ikeda and was about to go to the living room, and asked in a low voice:
"Why did that Hideo Ikeda get here? I heard that he is the biggest underworld boss, do you know? ”
Mitsumasa Sato smiled and said: "I don't know him very well, but he is a big entrepreneur, we need them now, don't listen to the rumors outside, just listen to the things that catch the wind and shadows." ”
"Oh, I think brother, you're saying good things for him, I think it will affect your reputation, so it's better to persuade him to leave as soon as possible." Tomoko Sato still persuaded seriously.
"This is what my father meant, what can I say, what do you know as a woman, go and help your sister-in-law, I still have guests to see." Mitsumasa Sato didn't want to listen to his sister's nagging anymore, and his tone became stern.
Under the influence of her mother, Tomoko Sato also belongs to the kind of woman who is traditional in country B, and when she saw that her brother was a little annoyed, she didn't want to say anything more, and returned to her sister-in-law in the banquet hall. The dance music began to sound again, and people began to invite their dance partners into the spacious open space in the center of the ballroom......
After meeting with several senators, and before the all-important donation campaign began, Mitsumasa Sato slipped up to his bedroom on the third floor, burrowed into a secret room, and connected to his father, Kosuke Sato, on a video call.
At this time, Kosuke Sato was discussing with Shuzo Yasuda how to complete the 40 cyclotron particle accelerators on time, and due to the huge amount of manpower and money required, Shuzo Yasuda wanted to use the funds from the construction of the Black Hawk fighter to complete the project. Kosuke Sato was very conflicted at first, because the Levy Legion had just lost a large number of Black Hawk fighters, and now it was urgent to replenish the number of Black Hawk fighters in the Black Hawk Society, but after careful consideration, Sato still remembered Kentucky's advice and agreed to Yasuda's suggestion.
When Mitsumasa Sato's phone called, Kosuke Sato just nodded in approval of Shuzo Yasuda's suggestion, and when he saw his eldest son calling in the middle of the night, he quickly asked Yasuda to go back to rest first, and he picked up Mitsumasa Sato's phone, and Mitsumasa Sato's somewhat tired voice rang on the other side of the phone:
"Father, I'm sorry to disturb your rest at this time, I have something important to discuss with you."
"It's okay, I haven't rested yet, let's talk about something."
"Hideo Ikeda openly showed up at my fundraising dinner, and he said that you asked him to come, so I don't know if you have any better considerations, right?"
"Oh, it's because of this, well, I made this decision this afternoon, when you were in the middle of a cabinet meeting, so I just told Ikeda to go to this political dinner of yours."
"But why, even Tomoko knows that Ikeda is the biggest boss of the underworld, is your decision really correct?"
Kosuke Sato smiled on the screen and said: "Son, to be honest, I'm not sure if this decision is correct now, but I can tell you that I want to confirm that your victory this time will be a complete victory, a victory with the support of the overwhelming majority of people, if it can affect your future because of one Eio Ikeda, it can only mean that your wings are not strong enough, even if you take power, you will not be able to achieve the part of my Kroniz plan about country B, Taking the lead in donating is just an excuse for me to ask Hideo Ikeda to answer you, we are not short of money, what we lack is people's hearts, I just want to borrow Hideo Ikeda to see how many hearts you have gained, whether it is very advantageous or barely dominant. ”
Mitsumasa Sato suddenly felt that his father was looking at his political future as child's play, and said in a somewhat anxious voice: "But father, don't you think it's too risky to do this, if people start to oppose me because of this matter, a lot of our previous efforts will be wasted." ”
"Huh? Are you accusing me? Kosuke Sato's tone also became stern.
Mitsumasa Sato immediately relented and replied, "My son doesn't dare, I just feel that this matter seems to be risky." ”
Kosuke Sato sat in his seat, and began to habitually scrape the bridge of his nose with the middle finger of his right hand again, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Son, everything is risky, even if you sleep, you may die suddenly because of snoring, don't people sleep, you have to understand what I mean, now country A is busy with its own affairs and has no time to take care of this side of the matter, if there is anything that can stop you is people's hearts, Hideo Ikeda has made a great contribution to your affairs, Where do you think the 2 percent overtake came from? In the end, I still want your complete victory, there is no point in narrowly winning, even if you become prime minister, you still have to listen to the opinions of many people who do not support you, and now you should let them understand that you are the absolute owner of power, and no force can shake your prestige! ”
Mitsumasa Sato also gradually understood what his father meant at this time, and after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I said goodbye to my father, the donation party is about to start, maybe the victory you said will come soon." ”
Seeing his father Kosuke Sato nodding, Mitsumasa Sato cut off the connection of the laser communication terminal, he stood up and walked outside, at this time he regained his confidence and appeared in front of the podium of his donation reception......
