Chapter 211 Speech in a Prosperous Age, Madness at the End, and Prosperity Coming to an End (Tomorrow Should Be the Climax of the Plot!)

September 1, 1990.

Shibaura, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

An election car covered with various red and white banners slowly drove through the lively neighborhood. On the opposite side, the Juliana Tokyo project, which was mostly completed, was magnificent and covered a vast area. It already had the vague appearance of a landmark building in the port area. Vigor.

Minato is a well-known wealthy area in Tokyo. People in Minato seem to have an innate sense of pride. Even if they want to get married and find their partner, they must also be from Minato.

It is home to the headquarters of five major private television stations, the most famous high-end residential areas in Aoyama, Akasaka, and Azabu in Tokyo. There are many foreign embassies. Foreign residents account for 10% of the total population. There are various high-end fashions such as Roppongi, Tokyo Tower, and Odaiba. entertainment venues.

And now, a landmark building costing hundreds of billions and invested by the whole people is about to be born.

As this moment approaches, Toshiki Kaifu, the Prime Minister, rushes back from the bay, sitting in his own exclusive election car, and is also preparing to use this to issue his own political declaration to the people and work hard to be re-elected as Prime Minister.

Looking at the magnificent and shocking building complex not far away, Toshiki Kaifu felt a burst of pride in his heart. He leaned forward slightly, approached the erected microphone, and cleared his throat: "Thank you everyone for listening. I, Toshiki Kaifu, have the honor to serve as He became the 76th Prime Minister. During these few months of office, I was often frightened when I thought of the great achievements of many predecessors."

Toshiki Kaifu was talking eloquently on the election car. There were six people standing around him, two tall bodyguards, two secretaries wearing banners with various political achievement slogans written on them, and two people accompanying him. He elected Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe and Tibetan Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto.

When Toshiki Kaifu took office, he made it clear that he would implement "dialogue and reform" to eliminate political abuses and restore the people's trust and support for the Liberal Democratic Party.

Afterwards, he made changes to the consumption tax and agricultural product import policies. After the stock market bubble collapsed, he cooperated with Ryutaro Hashimoto and Mieye Yasu to prepare to forcefully burst the housing market bubble.

These actions are beneficial to the people.

For people who are unaware of the struggles between political parties and the relationship between the government and American conglomerates, Toshiki Kaifu is indeed a prime minister with an excellent reputation in recent years and has many fans.

After all, several of his predecessors, including the most famous Noboru Takeshita, resigned due to economic problems and are now infamous.

It is a pity that the longest-serving prime minister in the bubble era is backed by the US government and financial groups.

"When I was a child, my home was bombed and burned down by American planes. Later I worked as a fixer engine at the factory of Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. At that time, looking at the engines, I thought of them flying in the sky, bombed and burned People’s homeland, I am determined to become a politician and then an influential peace lover!”

". Having been in politics for many years, I have always worked hard with the people's happy life as the first goal. Fortunately, I have lived up to expectations. Our country will gain huge benefits from the Gulf War! With the help of this oil war, the national economy will take off again! Just like Like the unfinished Juliana Tokyo project in front of me, it is destined to become a landmark!"

Toshiki Kaifu was impassioned. He had been too aggrieved before.

His status in the Liberal Democratic Party is too low, and he has little support. Many government affairs are subject to the control of Congress, and many members of Congress come from the six major financial groups. He is the prime minister in name only.

Now, three days ago, Wall Street elites led by Soros suddenly put pressure on oil companies. Then the oil price stopped its downward trend and continued to rise within three days. Although it only increased by 0.8 meters per barrel in total, this trend will not stop. , when oil companies cannot withstand the heavy pressure, oil prices will break through the limit and rise explosively!

He did his best, and most of the national financial savings flowed into the Gulf War oil market. He even did not hesitate to allow six major consortiums to manipulate the real estate market and use the Juliana Tokyo project to make money, just to use the Gulf War to fight a turnaround!

Now, he finally sees the dawn of victory!

And this is also an important opportunity for the Maritime Cabinet headed by him to continue to be re-elected, and even to be famous throughout the ages.

Kitahara Sosuke, who was invited to listen, mingled with the excited crowd and looked at Ryutaro Hashimoto on the election car. The latter seemed to feel something and looked towards him.

One day ago, Hashimoto Shota suddenly called and said that his father would accompany Toshiki Kaifu to the port area to give a speech, and he expressed his intention in a very subtle way to let Kitahara Sosuke go and observe.

Kithara Sosuke is still wondering, what does this have to do with him?

Now he understands.

Toshiki Kaifu's speech this time was a sudden showdown!

The government's involvement in the oil war for profit was actually made public!

Once this matter is exposed, when the Gulf War ends and the government delegation returns with massive profits, he will be the number one contributor!

He is indeed a politician who is very calculating and sophisticated.

After Toshiki Kaifu confirmed the trend and profits of the Gulf War, he decided to take action and expose the matter in advance so that others could not take any measures.

Now he is the first person to expose this matter to the people. In the future, he will be the god of the national economy in the eyes of the people. With this aura deepening, in line with this impassioned speech for the country and the people, as well as in politics With a series of political achievements during this period, there is a high probability that Toshiki Kaifu will be re-elected.

This is also his last chance!

After all, the forces in the Liberal Democratic Party are complex, and the factions he relies on are too weak. If the previous terms had not been fiercely fought, how would he have the chance to take over?

Ryutaro Hashimoto reminded him that he came to watch to let Kitahara Sosuke understand that the general situation was irreversible. Now he still has a chance to withdraw from the Gulf War and the oil war, so he should not delay his bright future.

Ryutaro Hashimoto, who stood on the united front with Toshiki Kaifu and Yasu Mieye, was in a high position. He could have completely let the junior Kitahara Sosuke get his head smashed and bloodied, and it would end miserably, but he still resolutely asked his son to remind Shimokitahara Aosuke.

This is a very important friendship.

Although it is of no use to Kitahara Sosuke.

After this speech, Toshiki Kaifu shot himself in the foot. The collapse of the regime is inevitable. As his hidden prime minister, Ryutaro Hashimoto will also fade away. This is also a historical trend.

Kitahara Sosuke looked at Hashimoto Ryutaro, bowed slightly, and strode away from the busy neighborhood.

The United States used the Gulf War to lure Japan into the situation, and also deliberately aroused their desire to enter the market at the cost of the bursting of the bubble economy. In this way, the Japanese conglomerates and the government after entering the market were naturally unwilling to accept the small profits and would gamble. It is also expected that the country will be lucky.

Then let the Wall Street tycoons make a bitter trick to completely put you in the urn and block their last escape route.

And this is why they entered the game willingly.

The battle between the country and the consortium is indeed fought with the lifeline of the country at stake. Japan loses due to their pride and narrow vision.

Kitahara Sosuke, who saw clearly, was thinking about what he could get from it while staying away from the passionate crowd.

When Toshiki Kaifu steps down, the most likely person to succeed him is Noboru Takeshita, who has high authority and rich experience. But in the end, it was Miyazawa Kiichi who cut off his beard!

Miyazawa Kiichi is also one of the important members of Gekkosou. Together with Noboru Takeshita and Shintaro Abe, he is known as the Three Heroes. The Miyazawa family, the Takeshita family and the Abe Shintaro family are also the three oldest political dynasties in Tokyo. They have entanglements with each other, but Miyazawa Kiichi and Noboru Takeshita have a bad relationship.

"The Miyazawa family. The current Miyazawa Kiichi was forced to resign as Tibetan Prime Minister because of the Likult incident. However, he has a good relationship with Ryutaro Hashimoto. He is also from the financial circle. He is a supporter of the Mitsubishi Foundation and has close ties with Tosan. The relationship is not bad, but I can contact him through Dongchan or Tibet."

Kithara Sosuke gradually came to a clear idea.

If he continues to fight Xu Yongzhong, he will inevitably involve the Takeshita family, and if he wants to fight against the Takeshita family, he must have the support of a family of the same rank as them.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Hashimoto Shota's number: "Moxi Moshi, this is Kitahara Sosuke."

"Aosuke? Did you listen to the speech of Prime Minister Kaifu? The news was broadcast today. The multinational forces gradually gained an overwhelming advantage and eliminated the Iraqi troops stationed in Kuwait! The Wall Street tycoons represented by Soros put pressure on the oil companies , Oil prices have begun to rise in the past few days. I heard that Prime Minister Kaifu got the exact news from the United States. Sosuke, do you understand what I say? Give up your oil quickly. If you retreat now, you will still make money. , don’t seek death!”

"Shouta, can you get in touch with the Miyazawa family?"

".You guy! Damn, I don't care about you, whether you like it or not! As for the Miyazawa family, there was a financial party held by the Miyazawa family and granddaughter in Chiyoda District recently. If you want to go, I will get you an invitation. It’s not a problem, no, I’m telling you, Aosuke, you should close your oil futures position immediately! I’m serious! You bastard! Stop playing around!”

"Okay, okay, get me an invitation. Thank you. Oh, by the way, I feel like your marriage to Ryoko is going to be dirty again."

"you."

"Dududu."

Kithara Sosuke hung up the phone with a smile on his lips.

No wonder Toshiki Kaifu dared to risk everything. It turned out that he got first-hand information from the United States.

He turned back and looked at Toshiki Kaifu who was still giving a passionate speech. His eyes were filled with pity. Finally, he smiled faintly and walked towards his GT-R32.

Toshiki Kaifu's speech was broadcast on television and other broadcast media that day, and countless politicians jumped in anger, thinking that he was shameless and disgusting.

But the general trend swept across like a wave. The Gulf War was completely victorious. Wall Street tycoons such as Soros also controlled the rise and fall of oil prices. The members of the Maritime Cabinet who clung to the thigh of the American father were naturally the first beneficiaries.

Although I am dissatisfied, as long as I am long crude oil, at least I will make money.

The closing oil price on September 1 was as expected, rising slightly to 29.1 meters of gold per barrel.

Kitahara Sosuke entered the market at 38.6 meters of gold per barrel, and is still making a lot of money. However, many speculators who entered the market at low prices and bought long entered the market at 30 meters of gold per barrel, and are now losing money. So I pray every day for an increase in oil prices.

Although the increase these days is not large, it is indeed starting to pick up as Noboru Takeshita and Toshiki Kaifu said.

After Toshiki Kaifu's speech, the crude oil futures market ushered in the most terrifying large-scale entry into the market, including an increase in investment from investors who were already in the market, as well as a batch of new Japanese businessmen and wealthy families entering the market. Nobles, most of Japan's economy has been involved in it without even realizing it!

Even Toshiki Kaifu didn't expect that the speech he prepared for his own selfish desires would kick off the last magnificent investment boom of this era that involved the whole people.

Kitahara Sosuke, who was driving a sports car with the window open, put one hand outside the window, a Marlboro burning in the wind. He listened with interest to a few old songs by Akina Nakamori, who had been recuperating at home for a long time and had not released a new album, and followed the rhythm. Humming softly, the melodious and dynamic tune is like this prosperous bubble era, which is fascinating and regrettable.

He knew that after today, this era would finally come to an end.

On the radio, the female announcer broadcast the latest status of the Gulf War. The multinational forces that completely occupied the sky began to plan for the next step and would launch a more brutal attack.

Land war is coming.

It’s the third update, I can’t hold on any longer, so I go to sleep. I can still end the Gulf War during the National Day. I’m happy!
