MTL - Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up-v2 Chapter 1775 Operation 12
Back at the prime minister's residence, the head of the Japanese intelligence agency reported all the information he had to Noboru Takeshita. Knowing that it was not a tactical nuclear weapon or a biological and chemical weapon; the prime minister's hanging heart finally fell.
Takeshita Noboru: "It seems that the Americans did not lie about this matter, and they finally have an explanation to the public."
Seeing that the person in charge of the intelligence department hesitated to speak, Takeshita of course understood what he meant; so he went on to say: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't have any worries."
The person in charge of the intelligence department thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, the Americans said that the performance of the new missile is unstable; .”
"Could it be said directly that the Americans were testing new weapons in Japan, and their performance was unstable; leading to the bombing of military warehouses."
"It's hard to imagine how the people will react at that time."
Tell the Chinese people directly that the US military base exploded; the power is so great because of mistakes in testing new missiles. Then the people will naturally not agree. The test of a new type of missile even went to Japan. Doesn't the United States have a suitable place?
From the damage to the houses of nearby residents, we can know how terrifying the power of the explosion is. If it falls in a residential area, there will inevitably be countless casualties. Suppose the explosion occurs in a densely populated place such as a campus; what will be the consequences? Is no one thinking about it.
Takeshita: "What do you mean!"
The person in charge of the intelligence department must not only know how to collect intelligence, but also make suggestions at critical moments. If you don't have this ability, you will definitely not be able to do your job well.
The two have worked together for many years, and they are still very familiar with each other; without recognizing each other's abilities, it is impossible to let him be in charge of the intelligence department.
The person in charge of the intelligence department thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have two options in my mind."
Hearing that there are two other plans, Takeshita Toshi immediately became interested; maybe the one in front of him could surprise him.
After indicating to continue, the person in charge of the intelligence department continued: "The first is to truthfully report the relevant situation to the Chinese people and let the domestic people start the demonstration."
"Prompting the US to make concessions, not to mention canceling its military presence in Japan; but it can reduce the scale. At present, the number of US troops stationed in Japan is really too large, and Japan's economic development momentum was very strong before; maybe it doesn't matter, but now domestic companies are busy helping themselves, The income has dropped sharply; although I don't work in the tax department, through the analysis of the intelligence I have, the tax revenue will definitely decrease."
"It looks like it will improve this year, but everything is an illusion; the days to come will be very easy to live. Then the expenditure of billions of dollars is a big problem."
"The US garrison in the past was mainly to guard against the Soviet Union and the rising China."
"But at this moment, the Soviet Union has become a mess, and the republics are separated from Germany; they have no ability to invade other countries, and they must invade Europe. After all, the navy is not the Soviet Union's dominant arm."
"As for Huaxia, it is developing its economy at full speed, and has already disarmed several times; the signal released is very obvious."
"Other surrounding countries are not in the right place; it is good not to be invaded, but they still have the ability to invade other countries."
"The main purpose of the US garrison after World War II was to transform Japan in an all-round way. Facts have proved that the Americans have indeed done it. In terms of culture, almost all Japanese culture before World War II disappeared, and it was replaced by Japanese two-dimensional culture, which is what we often say NP culture."
"This culture has changed Japanese society. A large number of men are addicted to the two-dimensional culture. The society has lost the worship of traditional men. The result is that men are less and less like men. As a new force for economic construction and military development, Once the masculinity of the country is destroyed, what future does the country have?"
"In addition to the transformation in the cultural field, I have to admit that the United States played a very important role in the Japanese economy after World War II. Although Japan was also a capitalist power before World War II, the development time after the Meiji Restoration was relatively short, and the national economy completely served the war. , which also led to the poor life of the Japanese people at the bottom."
After World War II, Japan carried out all-round economic reforms. With the dividends provided by the Korean War in the United States, Japanese industries rose rapidly and developed. From serving the national war before to serving the people now, Japan has gradually got rid of the previous economic development difficulties and has become a capitalist powerhouse with all-round development; it has become the world's second largest economy and has the ability to challenge the United States.
"But so what, people want to deal with you; a Plaza Accord will bring us back to the past. In the next twenty years, it will be difficult for the Japanese economy to make great achievements."
"As for the more thorough transformation of the military, Japan had an aircraft carrier during World War II; its military capabilities could compete with the United States in the Pacific region. However, the United States destroyed all of Japan's destructive weapons after stationing troops. Until now, the Japanese Navy has not had an aircraft carrier. .”
"The more important thing is not to allow Japan to develop nuclear weapons. For the United States, Japan must have military power, which can help the United States limit the development of other forces in Asia. But the military power should not be too strong, otherwise Japan will sooner or later counterattack. Control the United States. Under the deliberate control of the United States, Japan has created the current status quo.”
"At present, the number of US troops stationed in Japan is about 35,000, but the annual military expenditure needs 4 billion U.S. dollars; that is to say, we need to pay 100,000 U.S. dollars for every soldier from the United States. The protection fee is too high!"
"And with such a small number of people, if the Soviets really attack with all the power of the whole country; they will be impossible to guard against."
"Forging iron still needs to be **** oneself, and changes must be made; as the prime minister, he must be responsible for the country and the people. It is definitely not appropriate to directly let the Americans leave; even if the size of the garrison is reduced, there was no suitable reason before."
"But this moment is a good opportunity, and Reagan is about to leave office; I certainly don't want to offend too many countries. The president of the United States also needs to live after retirement; the pension alone is not enough to support it."
"Most of them rely on writing memoirs and speeches to increase their extra income. It is completely possible to release goodwill. Memoirs will be purchased in large quantities in Japan; and they will be invited to give speeches every year."
"As long as the old boy is not stupid, he will naturally understand what it means."
Hearing the other party's analysis, Nori Takeshita revealed an incredible expression; although we have known each other for many years, we have worked together for a long time. I didn't expect to really understand the person in front of me today, and his ability is definitely not inferior to him; to be precise, it is stronger than myself.
It's a bit condescending to put it in the intelligence department, but think about it the other way around; it's very suitable!
Takeshita Noboru: "Although the first plan is very dangerous, it is indeed a good one. The quality of the US troops stationed in Japan is really poor. Let alone the combat effectiveness, the ability to cause trouble is unmatched."
So far, the United States has 35,000 troops stationed in Japan. But just after World War II, this number was almost 10 times more. At that time, it was the famous American general MacArthur who was in charge of stationing in Japan. A large number of troops in the Pacific region were stationed in Japan after the war.
The reason why the United States sent so many troops was to prepare for a thorough reform of Japan. Before 1949, the Japanese had a very difficult life. On the one hand, it must serve the large number of US troops stationed in Japan, and on the other hand, it must rebuild the economy damaged by the war.
Since the size of the garrison is not static, it is entirely possible to take advantage of this incident to further reduce the size of the garrison.
Suddenly I thought there was a second option! Listen to what this subordinate wants to express, it's not too late to make a decision.
Takeshita: "Tell me about your second plan!"
From the expression of the Prime Minister, it is not difficult to see that he is very excited about the first option.
If other people said so, Takeshita Akira might still be skeptical; but the head of the intelligence department is still trustworthy. Not only loyalty to the country, but also the control of the current situation.
You can always get first-hand information, and a little analysis will naturally give you reasonable opinions!
The head of the intelligence department said very seriously: "The second option is to help the Americans conceal it."
"It can only be said that due to improper operation inside the military base, the warehouse exploded; the huge power was caused by the explosion of weapons and ammunition. The people would instinctively think that their lives would not be threatened; If the people who lost the money are compensated, naturally no one will stand up to march and protest!"
Helping the Americans hide it, the people who have suffered losses will receive huge compensation; the parade incident will naturally not happen.
But this is irresponsible to the people of the country. There is no impenetrable wall in the world; if it is discovered, the consequences will be very serious.
A government that deceives its own people in order to help the military of another country is definitely a huge stain on Takeshita's life.
As if he had made a decision, Takeshita said very firmly: "Notify the news department that we are investigating the matter. There are no tactical nuclear weapons and biological and chemical weapons; there is no need to panic."
The head of intelligence knew that Akira Takeshita had an idea; his mission had been accomplished, and hopefully it would go in a good direction.
When there was only one person left in the office, Noboru Takeshita picked up the phone; regardless of whether the time was right, he called the Japanese embassy in the United States directly!
The Japanese ambassador was also in a daze. The prime minister had to call at this time if he had something urgent to do!
But this is his job, which represents the image and interests of the country; he must be able to enter the working state at any time.
Of course, the Japanese ambassador to the United States knew about the bombing of the US military base in China; but he did not expect the prime minister's ambition to be so big.
As the Japanese ambassador to the United States, I know the United States very well; otherwise, it would be impossible to send you here.
According to Takeshita's idea, it is really possible; in order to make Japan stronger, it is necessary to reduce the number of US troops in Japan.
Not to mention public servants, even ordinary Japanese; I don't want to see troops from other countries stationed in the country, this is definitely a shame.
But it is also very clear that it is almost impossible to directly let the Americans withdraw. But if it is reduced to a certain scale, it is estimated that the Americans will agree.
Now that there is a clear direction, the next step is to implement it.
Early the next morning, after the Japanese ambassador had breakfast, he came directly to the White House. Said that there was something urgent and hoped to meet Reagan.
The residence and office of the President of the United States are in one place, and it was early in the morning; Reagan had no travel plans and did not leave the White House.
Reagan, who was eating breakfast, learned that it was the Japanese ambassador who was asking for an interview; he knew that he would come anyway, and asked the other party to wait for a few minutes.
As long as you can see the President of the United States, not to mention waiting for a few minutes, even a few days will be fine.
After a while, the secretary said that Reagan was waiting for him in the office.
The Japanese ambassador came to the office and first said: "Your Excellency, please forgive me for disturbing you; there is a reason for the incident, and I hope you can understand."
Even if they don't understand, people have already come; and they don't want to get angry early in the morning.
Reagan said with a smile: "Mr. Ambassador, as the closest partner; it doesn't have to be the same between us."
That's what he said, but the Japanese ambassador would never believe it; probably even Reagan himself felt a little fake.
It's ridiculous to think about it as the closest partner.
The closest partner of the United States, Israel and the United Kingdom are about the same; as for Japan, it can only be ranked in the second echelon. You must know that the two countries fought so terribly in World War II, how could it be possible to completely forget the hatred in just forty years.
It is all for strategic needs and national interests, as well as to suppress the development of the Soviet Union in the Far East; otherwise, the first one to step on Japan will definitely be the United States.
After all, the Japanese ambassador has to continue to show goodwill, and he can't be shameless.
The Japanese ambassador said very seriously: "What Your Excellency President said is very true. It is with the strong support of the United States that Japan can recover from the war."
"Presumably you already know that a serious explosion occurred at a US military base in Japan. The current explanation given by the US garrison is caused by a mistake in testing a new type of missile."
"If it is directly announced to the public that it is because of the test of a new type of missile, it will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction."
"People will definitely think in their hearts, why is the test of the new missile not in no man's land; in case of deviation, how will their lives and property be guaranteed."
Reagan knew very well that what the Japanese ambassador said was very reasonable; if it were the American people, they would have to make a fuss.
But now he has to protect the interests of the United States. As for the Japanese, he can't hear the protests; if the Japanese government can't solve it properly, it can only be said to be a problem of capacity.
Reagan said with a smile: "I have ordered the garrison headquarters to actively compensate for the losses of the people. I believe they will be satisfied. There are still many things to be brought up. I think Mr. Ambassador should understand what it means."
What is "leading", to put it bluntly, isn't it to deceive the people of the country!
As the president of the United States, I don't care about the attitude of the Japanese; it seems that the prime minister is very reasonable. The size of the garrison must be reduced as much as possible; otherwise, for the Americans, Japan can take advantage of it at any time.
Japanese Ambassador: "People naturally need to be informed, but they also have the right to know the truth. If it is deliberately concealed, it will greatly reduce the credibility of the government; it will be very detrimental to Japan's political stability. I hope Mr. President can understand!"
