ACT463: Black Ops II
Unconsciously, Saigo Morimoto found out that he was 47 years old this year.
Saigo, who was born in a wealthy family in Kagoshima, had a depressed first half of his life. His grandfather, Saigo Takamori, one of the "Three Masters of the Meiji Era", was condemned for launching the Southwest Rebellion, and the entire family was expelled from both the Japanese military and political circles.
For this reason, Saigo Shengyuan, who has been depressed for most of his life, once wanted to take risks and do a great career of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes". It's a pity that the operation ended in failure, but it made him unexpectedly meet two "nobles", which completely changed the fate of the rest of his life......
Because of his meritorious service in saving the emperor two years ago, Saigo Morimoto was able to wash away the stigma of his family and return to Japanese politics. Fumiro Konoe, who was the prime minister at the time, arranged for him to be a small clerk in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, intending to hide this "traitorous party" who tried to turn over.
But what many people didn't expect was that instead of fading out of the public eye because of entering the cold yamen, Saigo used the unprecedented way of "making movies" to constantly save the sense of zĂ i. A year ago, he was hired by the Imperial Family to serve as a civil adviser to the Emperor.
It can be said that Saigo, who is on the rise, is now a rising star in Japanese politics. And, unlike most of Japan's current officials, Saigo Morimoto often went out into the streets to talk to ordinary people, listen to their appeals, and convey them to the emperor.
This kind of pro-people behavior, with the deliberate operation of many newspapers, soon became known to the majority of the Japanese people, and Saigo gained a reputation among the people as a "parent official".
In fact, Saigo knows very well in his heart that he is an "actor", and there is a whole team operating behind him. As long as Saigo performs according to the scripts written by these great powers, he can quickly accumulate popularity from the people and become a helping person for him to continue to rise in the political situation.
The experience of the past two years has benefited Saigo a lot and touched a lot!
The achievements he has made now can be said to be all thanks to the help of that Lord Tang Guo. Without these conditions provided to him by the other party, he would not have been able to achieve great things on his own.
Therefore, Saigo, who knows about Entu, has been waiting for an opportunity to repay each other. But since he said goodbye two years ago, his great benefactor has never shown up. This made Saigo feel very regretful. At the same time, he also realized that his current status should not be enough to help the other party.
As usual, Saigo returned to his place in Tokyo after a day of work. According to the construction of the think tank behind him, he rented a small civilian apartment near his place of work, and did not take his wife and children from his hometown. Every day, in addition to going to work in the government, he snuggled up in his apartment and read the books recommended to him by the think tank.
According to the indicators issued by Zhao Jian, the operation team behind Xixiang wants to turn this middle-aged uncle who was originally poor in the city government into a "political actor". Then he manipulated behind the scenes to help this nobody get ahead, and then influence the Japanese government.
As soon as I returned to my accommodation. As soon as Saigo habitually planned to turn on the light, he suddenly felt that there were other people in the house. So he retracted his right hand, which was about to turn on the light, and slowly reached for his handbag, which contained a small Browning pistol. But just then, a male voice sounded slightly familiar to him in the darkness of the room.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Saigo. It's me, your old friend. â
Hearing this, Saigo hesitated slightly, and then a soft light suddenly lit up in the darkness. Saigo knew it was the lamp on his desk. With the help of the light of the lamp, Saigo saw that behind the desk was a young man he was familiar with.
"Mr. Zhao! You...... When did you come to Japan? â
"I just arrived today, and I heard that you've been doing a good job lately, so I'm going to come and have a look."
See the great benefactor who has been absent for a long time. Saigo looked very excited. Zhao Jian sensed it a little and knew that the other party's gratitude was not fake, which made him feel very satisfied.
It has been almost two years since Zhao Jian last came to Japan. At that time, Zhao Jian was an "expert in the field of aviation in the Tang Kingdom". The recipe for concocting acid torpedoes was replaced from Japan with almost a "zero threshold" doppelganger crystal manufacturing technology.
This technology exchange was once hailed by the Japanese scientific community as "the biggest scam of the century". However, in view of the fact that all the countries who were deceived were the great powers of the world, Japan, like other deceived countries, did not publicize this matter to the outside world.
Originally, Zhao Jian was not a last resort. I don't come to Japan lightly. But just a week ago, a piece of information about the broken dawn forced him to make a trip to Tokyo himself.
According to this information, Broken Dawn has just transferred an "important item" from Saturn's side, which is currently stranded in Japan. Combined with their previous actions on Saturn, Zhao Jian immediately thought of the core components of the high-energy compressor.
In order to intercept this important item, Zhao Jian led people to Tokyo overnight, and by the way, he met Saigo Morimoto, who had been greeting for a long time, and asked him about Hiromi's current situation.
Just like the employees of the group met the chairman, Xixiang looked extremely respectful in front of Zhao Jian, and he was too busy to prepare tea. But before he could enter the kitchen, a girl dressed as a maid came out with a steaming tea tray. Only then did Saigo notice that Zhao Jian was not the only one in his family.
"Mr. Saigo, you better come and sit. I didn't come here this time, I just happened to pass by to say hello. Our lord, how is she lately? â
"My lord? Oh, you mean His Royal Highness Kohito, thank you for your concern, Your Highness has been safe in the past two years, but His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards him has always been bad. It's obviously a brother, but he often speaks ill of His Royal Highness Kohito, and sometimes it's really ......"
"How bad is it? Did there still be beatings and scolding? â
Hearing Saigo's reaction that Hirohito's attitude towards his sister Yumi was extremely bad, Zhao Jian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I hit it no, but I often say something nasty, and I don't care about the occasion at all. Every time, His Highness silently tolerated the other party, so that those of us who were others couldn't stand it. â
"Humph! That's all that guy has to do, and he doesn't want to think about who is trying to help him maintain a positive image, and who is helping him wipe his ass every time he pokes the basket. Let him stumble! Don't look at his fun today, be careful to pull the list tomorrow. â
"Mr. Zhao, you're right! It is true that the fate of Japan cannot be handed over to such a faint king. But Mr. Zhao ...... I've always felt that His Royal Highness Kohito doesn't seem interested in the throne. â
"That's because of His Royal Highness Yukihito's kindness, but because of this kindness, sooner or later, she will not be able to get used to what her faint brother did. And all we have to do is to gather strength and wait for the day when His Highness will come to his senses. When that time comes, you and I will be the ministers of the dragon, and I can't say that the first prime minister of the new Japan is you Saigo Morimoto, I am very optimistic about you! (To be continued......)
PS: The closer the Chinese New Year gets, the more I can't calm down the codeword, and I'm speechless......
