Chapter 590: Bait
Fang Lang watched the two of them constantly exchanging glances in front of him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously began to turn up slightly, understanding that the fish had bitten. This bait they laid is definitely a temptation that they can't refuse.
According to Fang Lang's inner thoughts, the friendship he gave them should be two peanuts, so that they can ascend to the Western Elysium and no longer be burdened by worldly fame and fortune.
But now the two are still useful, knowing that with the outbreak of war on the peninsula, the Americans will immediately take the initiative to release those war criminals who should have been sent to hell and lift the so-called "posthumous public office."
Fang Lang felt that he took advantage of the information gap he had to pretend to be forced in front of these two valuable Japanese, and by the way, let the two of them help him collect the Chinese cultural relics that were lost to Japan and hand them over to him. It should be a very good deal.
As for how to deal with these cultural relics in the future, it can be very flexible. It is okay to collect it yourself in the Chinese Cultural Relics Museum in Brazil, or to donate it to your hometown, and you can decide according to the actual situation at that time. It's a million times better than keeping it in the hands of the Japanese!
Of course, if these two guys behave badly, are disobedient, or can't satisfy themselves, they can just let the punisher send them directly to the western heavens. When the last two lose their use value, they can be handed over, and when the time comes, those in need will have revenge and revenge, and there will be revenge!
This can be regarded as squeezing the value of the two to the extreme, and it can be regarded as letting them atone for the crimes they committed!
Chongguang Aoi saw that Fang Lang did not answer Kodama Yushifu's question, and also showed a confident and calm attitude, as well as the contemptuous eyes that looked at the two of them, so Chongguang Aoi could not carefully consider what Fang Lang said.
Especially when he turned his gaze to John Clark on the side, he found that the other party was not as suspicious as the two of them, but had a thoughtful expression.
couldn't help but speak directly:
"I don't know how General Fang is going to circumvent this posthumous release order?"
Seeing Chongguang Aoi couldn't help but speak, Kodama Yu Shifu could only endure the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then set his eyes on Fang Lang, he wanted to see what Fang Lang could say.
Seeing the eyes of the two, Fang Lang smiled flatly.
"Why avoid it?"
Fang Lang's words made several people stunned, and they all looked at him with puzzled expressions. Seeing this, Fang Lang once again showed a noncommittal smile and said:
"Isn't it just a posthumous release order for public office? If necessary, it can be completely operated, and the command of the US occupation forces in Japan can directly issue an amnesty order. β
This was said very easily, but Kodama Yushio and Shigemitsu Aoi looked at this young man with a look of disbelief on their faces.
This is a bill that will make a democratically elected prime minister like Ichiro Hatoyama step down directly! The other party solved it lightly. At this moment, the two of them have 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in their hearts, and the cowhide is not blowing like this! This is a bill, not a joke, you say amnesty, amnesty!
Chongguang Aoi couldn't help but blurt out a little stammering:
"Is this possible?"
"Of course it's impossible for you, but for me, it's not that difficult! Of course, there are several preconditions for achieving this goal. β
Fang Lang glanced at John on the side, thinking that this kid didn't have a tacit understanding! At this time, it should be a time for outsiders to come forward to advocate Fang Lang's influence, and some things are more convincing for others to say than for themselves!
It's a pity that this forced pretending is not perfect.
Chongguang Kui didn't know that Fang Lang's heart was thinking that this forced pretense was not perfect enough, and he only had a few words in his mind that Fang Lang said was not a difficult matter. He tidied up his clothes, knelt down seriously in the direction of Fang Lang, and looked at Fang Lang with a serious face:
"I don't know what the preconditions are, but please make it clear to Your Excellency General."
Seeing that this guy finally began to take his words seriously, Fang Lang glanced around, waved his hand, and motioned for a few girls to leave.
Seeing this, Kodama Yushifu hurriedly got up and shouted at a few girls in the room, and several girls hurriedly left the room in a panic.
After the door was closed again, Kodama Yushifu also knelt down with a serious face, looking like he was listening carefully.
Seeing this, Fang Lang laughed and said:
"The most important thing is, of course, that your performance satisfies me, and that you can complete the tasks I have given you."
Hearing this, Chongguang Aoi and Kodama Yu Shifu glanced at each other, and no longer dared to say anything else, and nodded at Fang Lang in unison and said:
"Of course!"
Seeing the two nodding obediently, Fang Lang just smiled.
"It is very simple for me to get this amnesty, and if necessary, it is not impossible to completely lift this public office order, but it is obviously not necessary.
I'm more concerned about Mr. Shigemitsu who was Japan's foreign minister, so if you re-enter politics, what position do you plan to hold in the government?
Does the new government now have a place for you? β
Fang Lang's attitude was very casual, but Kodama Yu Shifu and Chongguang Aoi didn't dare to be casual, especially after Kodama Yu Shifu heard Fang Lang's sentence of the comprehensive dismissal from public office, his whole head exploded. If these people are released and can regain public office, doesn't that mean that Japan can rise again?
Regardless of whether Fang Lang's words are true or not, at this moment he looked at Fang Lang without the slightest hostility, some were just indescribably hot, if the other party could really do everything he said, what is the Japanese Chinese antiques, what is it to give him all of them, if it is not enough, Japan's own antiques can be given to him.
Chongguang Aoi, a politician, is much more pragmatic, he understands that what Fang Lang said is the truth, he is a war criminal, and even if he is granted an amnesty and allowed to enter the new government, he must think clearly about what position to hold.
He is a dignified Japanese foreign minister, of course, it is impossible for him to serve as an ordinary civil servant, if this is the case, he might as well not make a comeback and wait for the opportunity!
And if he wants to return to the post of foreign minister, can the current foreign minister agree? You must know that the current prime minister of the government is Shigeru Yoshida, a staunch pro-British and American faction, and he has little friendship. How could it be possible to give up the chosen foreign minister and help himself, a guy who is obviously not the same as the other party?
This is a real problem! He had just come out of Sugamo Prison, and he really hadn't really thought about it. For a moment, there was silence.
Seeing this, Fang Lang didn't urge, but just took out a cigar from his jacket pocket and lit it.
In the end, Chongguang Kui couldn't help but look up at Fang Lang for help:
"I wonder if Your Excellency General has anything to teach me?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang was stunned, and looked at this guy with some amusement, from his eyes, Fang Lang could see that he wanted to ask himself if he needed him to do something for himself. At the same time, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, obviously, he had not thought about how his path should go.
If possible, of course Fang Lang hopes that this guy can be used for himself, but this guy is from the foreign minister and is responsible for diplomatic work, and he really can't find anything suitable for him to do for a while.
If there is a need in the future, of course, he will not be polite. Now after hearing his question, he could only wave his hand indifferently to further show his superior image.
"It's up to you, it's too early for me to teach you."
In fact, Fang Lang's meaning is very clear, if he thinks about what kind of path he wants to take, Fang Lang can see if he can provide some guidance, of course, these guidance must be beneficial to Fang Lang.
If Chongguang Kui's thoughts and ideas were still stuck in the original militarism, Fang Lang's guidance to him would definitely be to send him away directly, but if he could seriously repent to his hometown on behalf of Japan, Fang Lang would not mind using him to influence more Japanese.
This can be regarded as a reflection of the value of his life.
But after hearing Fang Lang's words, Chongguang Kui fell into contemplation again, the current situation is that he wants to return to the political arena, but the current political arena is not the same as the political arena he is familiar with, so he will definitely have a period of confusion.
Seeing that Chongguang Aoi didn't speak, the Kodama Yu Shifu on the side couldn't help it, and said a little nervously:
"General Fang, you just said that the posthumous release order for public office was completely lifted, is this possible?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang's brows furrowed instantly, and he glanced at this former intelligence officer who obviously still had militaristic thoughts.
What he said earlier was in fact a decoy thrown out, for it is impossible for a man who has completely abandoned his militaristic illusions to think of reactivating those who have been isolated from politics by this public office.
The first thing they think of is to get an amnesty for those who are useful to them, rather than to release all of them. Ke Eryu Yu Shifu just wanted to lift the ban completely.
From this moment on, Fang Lang had directly sentenced this guy to death in his heart, he would never allow such a person to continue to live in this world, and after he handed over all the antiques in his hands, it would be his death.
Of course, it is impossible for him to die very easily, because his body is also involved in the wealth looted by the Japanese Navy from China, and this wealth will be tortured to get clues from him! This can be regarded as revenge for the people of my hometown.
Although, Fang Lang thought so in his heart, he would definitely not say it directly, now that he was still useful to himself, he needed to stabilize the other party first.
"Is it possible or not, but so what? Do you think your value is worth my energy to push for this? β
Fang Lang's words are equivalent to actually admitting that he has the ability to promote this matter, but in the absence of enough benefits, why should he do it?
As soon as these words came out, Kodama Yushifu felt that his eyes lit up, and he was immediately tempted. If the US military is allowed to completely lift the public duty broadcast order through his connections, then his influence in the Japanese political arena will be incomparable, and at that time, even if he does not enter the political arena, he will definitely become a Japanese political bigwig. That's exactly what he's trying to pursue.
What they don't know is that the reason why Fang Lang dared to speak out so loudly was entirely because he knew that in real history, the so-called public office broadcast order was lifted by the Americans on their own initiative after the Korean Peninsula War. He is now using this matter to negotiate conditions with the other party, which is completely a prostitution.
Yushi Kodama only thought for a moment, and then immediately spoke:
"General Fang, maybe I'm not worthy of your help to promote this matter, but I know that there is a person who must be worthy of your action."
Hearing this, Fang Lang glanced at the other party with a little disdain and said:
"Mr. Kodama, I think you must have misunderstood something, what I want has never been a person, whether it is you or this Mr. Shigemitsu, in my eyes, there is not much difference between you, you are all war criminals who escaped punishment by luck.
If I wish, I can always send you back to Sugamo Prison, or even let you disappear quietly. You can continue to talk to me here now, but it's just because people like you don't deserve my help.
I always do things based on what this thing can bring me, and only when I feel that the benefits that this thing brings to me are worthy of my action, I will seriously consider it. Do you understand? β
In fact, as soon as Kodama Yushio said that there was a person worth shooting, he knew who the other party was talking about, and he couldn't think of a second person other than Hatoyama Ichiro, who almost became the prime minister. But Fang Lang does not agree with many of the political views of this guy Ichiro Hatoyama, so Fang Lang is not ready to let this guy come back to power.
Unless, the other side can change its mindset and abandon some of its historical policies, the most important of which is to rearm Japan.
As far as Fang Lang is concerned, in fact, the current Yoshida Shigeru government is very good, completely pro-British and American, obedient to the demands of his American father, and corruption is rampant, and there is no hope of a resurgence.
You only need to use the status of American capital to exert enough influence on them.
Although Fang Lang's words have been expressed very clearly, he only values interests and has no interest in individuals. But Eryu Yu Shifu was not willing to give up, the more Fang Lang said this, the more he believed that Fang Lang was capable of doing this, so he continued to speak very persistently:
"General Fang, the person I'm talking about is a person who can become the prime minister 100 percent, as long as you can remove him from his official position, he will definitely be able to be elected as the new prime minister of Japan.
When the time comes, the benefits he can bring to you will be unprecedentedly huge. β
Hearing this, Fang Lang rolled his eyes, glared at the other party angrily and said:
"Isn't the person you're talking about is Ichiro Hatoyama? You put it simply, what else can be 100% prime minister! You wouldn't think that as long as the ban on him was lifted, Shigeru Yoshida would give him back the position of prime minister!
If that's what you think, all I can say is that you're naΓ―ve and stupid. β
Kodama Yushifu was stunned by Fang Lang's words, he didn't expect that the other party already knew who he wanted to say before he said it, and now it seems that this guy in front of him knows much more about Japan than he imagined, and what the other party said is obviously really sure.
From this point of view, what he said about the complete lifting of the "Public Duty Broadcasting Order" is obviously not just casual talk. With this conclusion, Kodama Yushifu was even more convinced of Fang Lang's words.
