Chapter 158: No One Believes in My Own Direction and My Own Acting

"...Tokyo Metropolitan Fire Department, at 4:45 pm on June 8th, the vehicle exploded on the road in Chiyoda-ku's fifth and fourth town. Three people were injured and one person died."

"...The fire department has dispatched more than 10 fire trucks to extinguish the fire. It is now suppressing the fire and the cause of the accident is adjusted."

“…”

It was still that house, the Sumitomo family house closest to the Imperial Palace.

However, there are many more people present today than yesterday.

All members of the White Water Club in Neon are here tonight.

What is the White Water Society? After the end of World War II, the US military ordered all Japanese chaebols to dissolve.

The chaebols could not withstand the pressure from the US military and had to obey, because at that time they would really die if they did not obey.

But there is a way to adapt to everything, and the five-star general and the emperor is not an inflexible person.

It didn't take long for Japan's tycoons to find a workaround.

The Sumitomo zaibatsu was the first zaibatsu to find a workaround.

Showa 24, which is 1949.

The presidents of the 12 direct companies of the Sumitomo Group secretly formed the Hakusuikai to maintain cooperative relationships among the Sumitomo companies.

As people say, "Sumitomo United".

During the chaotic post-war period, the Sumitomo Group successfully unified its consciousness and avoided the collapse of the company through the secretly established Hakusuikai. It can be said that it successfully reunited.

Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other chaebols followed suit. Mitsui set up a Nikikai, Mitsubishi set up a Kinyokai, and Fuji set up a Furongkai.

In fact, it is a disguised workaround, breaking the whole into parts and using an alternative supreme leadership body to continue to maintain the existence of the original chaebol.

It must be said that this point is actually very similar to that of European and American financial groups.

As a result, these Japanese chaebols found a better way to develop, with the continued support of Americans in order to maintain order in Asia after the war.

They rose quickly and once again became a giant in this country.

At this moment, in the lobby of Sumitomo East's main residence.

The members of the Baishui Society who were temporarily summoned were holding a meeting.

There was a TV in front of everyone.

On the TV, the evening news on NHK General Channel was being broadcast.

And what is being reported in the news is what happened this afternoon.

The explosion occurred at the junction of Gobancho and Yobancho in Chiyoda Ward, not far from the Panasonic Group Building.

"Bagayalu, Bagayalu!"

As soon as the news on TV ended, the head of the family, Sumitomo Tomojun, shouted angrily, "That bastard, how could it be such a coincidence! How could such a thing happen right after leaving Panasonic!!"

"Anzai Shanwei!"

Sumitomo Tomojun glared at a middle-aged Japanese man, "What the hell is going on!"

Anzai Zen'e is the new president of Sumitomo Real Estate within Hakusuikai.

Neon’s real estate is real estate, and Neon’s real estate industry often intersects with Neon Yakuza.

Therefore, all contacts and affairs related to Baishuihui and Jidao have always been handled by Anzai Shanwei.

Simply put, Anzai Zenwei is the system that the White Water Society is responsible for communicating with the Black Gloves.

Now that this has happened, the official side is in chaos.

Not only is the Sumitomo chaebol ignored, but other chaebols are also finding it difficult to get official news.

Sumitomo Tomojun then asked Anzai Zen'e, because the Sumiyoshi-kai, the yakuza organization maintained by Sumitomo, was indirectly controlled by Anzai Zen'e.

Being stared at by the head of the family and more than a dozen important members of the consortium, Anzai Shanwei broke out in a cold sweat.

"Smith Marseille!"

Anzai Zenwei apologized directly, then bowed his head to everyone: "I am not capable enough, so I haven't received any news so far. But before that, I have already notified the Sumiyoshi Association, don't go out casually during this period."

"Takeshima Sadahisa is outside right now. He and all the senior officials of the Sumiyoshi-kai are waiting for your questioning and judgment..."

Takeshima Sadahisa is the current president of the Sumiyoshi-kai. He is one of the so-called Four Heavenly Kings of the Japanese Yakuza and a terrifying gangster in the eyes of ordinary Japanese people.

In the eyes of the Baishui Society, the so-called underworld boss is just a small figure who does dirty things.

If you are not satisfied and want to change, it is just a matter of words for Sumitomo Tomojun.

Takeshima Sadahisa didn't even dare to resist, because resistance would really result in the death of his entire family.

"It's no use saying this."

Sumitomo Tomojun waved his hands impatiently. It would be useless even if the entire Sumiyoshi-kai were killed.

That fellow had just finished negotiations with Panasonic Group and had left not long ago.

As a result, the car he was riding in was blown up, and people died and others were injured!

If it is an ordinary rice farm, we can at least find some way to suppress it.

But that rice animal’s status was too high.

It’s so high that it makes Japanese people’s scalps tingle.

If we must make an analogy, the other party's status in the United States is probably like the direct heirs of the Kujo family, the Konoe family and other families among the five pre-war imperial families.

When this kind of person gets into trouble in Tokyo, the Japanese government and upper class are all in a panic.

As far as Sumitomo Tomojun knows, it happened almost a few minutes after the other party got into trouble.

All of the more than 100 American dogs from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Division were mobilized.

As a result, everyone, whether from the Democratic Liberal Party or other opposition parties, became panicked.

After all, this kind of thing has never happened in Neon.

No one knows what kind of stress response Michu will take next.

If things go wrong, a lot of people will definitely be sunk into Tokyo Bay! When faced with such a situation, even Sumitomo Tomojun and the members of the White Water Society in front of them were very anxious.

The main reason is that the other party comes to negotiate business with them.

It was unpleasant during the negotiation, but I encountered this kind of thing when I left.

Even if Panasonic Group can prove its innocence.

But now at this critical juncture, everyone is afraid.

Afraid that Mi Chu would do something in anger.

Didn't you see that the gang in the Congress has been causing chaos and no news has been released until now? Didn't you see that not long after the incident, the owner of 1-chome 10-5 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, went to the scene immediately? Didn't you see that almost before dark, the American army red deer from the Zama Barracks appeared at the scene in just one hour and drove away the people from the Warning Bureau and the Guards?

Just as everyone thought, the young rice farmer who got into trouble was of high status.

Otherwise, the American Embassy in Japan and those American bullies in the Zama Barracks would not have rioted like this.

"Why……"

Seeing that everyone was in the same boat as him and had no good solution, Sumitomo Tomojun sighed deeply.

A huge feeling of powerlessness, which was rare, enveloped this neon leader.

Just like Matsushita Masaharu and others during the day, Sumitomo Tomojun also felt the humiliation of being a country not like its own.

If Japan was a normal country, the Americans would never dare to do this! But at this time, Sumitomo Tomojun only dared to think about it in his heart.

At that time, the Sumitomo Zaibatsu was the first zaibatsu to be ordered to be dissolved by the Five-Star Emperor.

It was the head of the Sumitomo family of that generation who gave the national goddess of Japan, Setsuko Hara, to the retired emperor as his mistress.

Plus other "thoughts".

This made the old emperor show leniency and turn a blind eye to the Sumitomo Zaibatsu.

This is how the Baishui Society came into being.

Sumitomo Tomojun looked at Anzai Zen'e and ordered expressionlessly, "Send someone to keep an eye on the official residence and the Diet, and notify us immediately if there is any news. I am going to the Imperial Palace now, and His Majesty has summoned me."

…

…

And when the first power center of Neon and the Neon Congress are called "official residence".

As well as several major Japanese conglomerates including the Baishui Society, and many Japanese bosses from opposition parties.

When everything is in chaos.

1-10-5 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, is the location of the U.S. Embassy in Japan.

As we all know, Minato Ward is one of the 23 special wards in Tokyo.

It is an area with many foreign embassies and a strong international atmosphere.

Every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

The average house price here is second only to Chiyoda Ward in Tokyo.

However, this is the core area in the core area of ​​Neon Capital.

But a very large piece of it is occupied by Americans.

Almost 150,000 square meters are the land of the US Embassy.

You should know that generally speaking, the floor space of embassies of various countries is based on the principle of equality.

What I mean is that if you give me the same amount of land for your embassy, ​​I will give you the same amount of land for your embassy on my side.

However, the United States, Japan, Taiwan and other countries do not adhere to the principle of reciprocity.

The embassies of these countries in the United States are of average size.

But the U.S. embassies in their countries, not counting the various bases, are all ridiculously large.

And they are all in the core area.

For example, the neon Minato District and the small and sleek Jongno District.

These places are the core of their capital.

When Sumitomo Tomojun set out for the Imperial Palace.

Milo, with a relaxed expression on his face, was holding the phone and talking to someone in the United States.

"…I'm really fine, Ariana. I was just walking down the street and I saw a neon interior store."

"I thought at the time that this was my first time going abroad. I had to bring back some gifts and souvenirs for my family and loved ones."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I've taken a fancy to an ornament on display in the store's cabinet, and I think it will suit you very well."

“So I got off the bus temporarily and wanted to buy it.”

"Lord, maybe He wants to get me out of danger."

"I just entered the store for a minute and asked the store owner to take down the jewelry and show it to me."

"You have no idea how horrible that was. With a loud bang, my car outside exploded!"

"Poor Tom, one of my bodyguards. I just asked him to help me clean up because I spilled some ice wine in the car."

"As a result, while he was cleaning up, the explosion happened. Tom met with misfortune."

"And David, you know him, my personal bodyguard David. He was hit by a piece of blast debris, but fortunately, he only suffered minor injuries."

"But the other two bodyguards, Ronan and Kyle, were not so lucky. They were also seriously injured and are still in the hospital."

“…”

He kept talking a lot and seemed a little nervous.

Milo used a very obvious tone, which showed a sense of relief at surviving the disaster.

Talking to Ariana Rockefeller across the ocean.

Ariana's tone sounded anxious and fearful.

She had just answered the phone and the first thing she asked about was Milo's health.

When I learned that he was not injured, he was just severely frightened.

Ariana cried and hoped that Milo could return to the United States immediately.

Milo then coaxed her and described his afternoon experiences to her in dramatic, cinematic terms.

"Anyway, I'm fine. I'm at the American Embassy right now, and unless there's an imminent world war, I think I'm safe for now."

Milo was still comforting Ariana.

Ariana responded with a slightly sobbing voice.

Suddenly, it seemed that the phone over there was taken away by another person.

"I'm David, how are you doing, kid?"

Hear the old man's voice.

In Neon Tokyo, Milo finally smiled happily.

But it soon disappeared, and only Kenny beside him was left, and actually his hand was cut and bleeding a little.

But now his whole hand was wrapped up, and David, who looked seriously injured, saw his smile.

It's a bit perverted, and it looks like the smile of a person who has succeeded in his conspiracy.

"Good evening, David. Oh, no, it should be daytime over there. Good morning, David."

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. At least I won't die for the time being."

Old David on the other side did not respond immediately. He said a few words to Ariana.

Ten seconds later, old Rockefeller's voice was heard again in the phone.

"Boy, it's you who did this, right?"

"Are you doubting me? David, do you think I would install at least ten kilograms of high explosives under my butt and sit on it to travel from one place in Tokyo to another? Do you think someone like me would be willing to take such a risk?"

"Then why didn't it blow you up?"

"Because the Lord protects me, and because I am the Lord's favorite. I will say this when I face all the media later."

Old David was obviously silent for a while.

Rockefeller probably also received the temporary investigation results here.

That was underneath the vehicle Milo Blackburn was riding in today.

More than ten kilograms of high explosives were indeed installed.

There is also video evidence showing that the explosives were installed in the parking garage of the hotel where Milo was staying.

Milo did ride in this car loaded with explosives all the way from Minato Ward to Chiyoda Ward, and was even stuck in traffic for an hour.

That's more than ten kilograms of high explosives, and it's directional explosives.

The explosive charge of standard anti-tank mines internationally is generally only five to ten kilograms.

There was an amount of explosives under his butt that was equivalent to that of a high-damage anti-tank mine. Even after knowing this, he was still able to sit in the car for more than an hour.

Normally speaking, Old David felt that he would never dare to take such a risk.

Moreover, it should be said that any vested interests in their class who enjoy wealth and status would never take such a risk.

Safety?

There are more than ten kilograms of explosives under their butts, and you tell them it is safe?

No one can truly feel safe unless a real Superman is around.

so……

"Really? It wasn't you who did this?"

"I'm still young. I don't want to die yet."

Milo smiled and said in a leisurely voice: "Everyone in the United States knows that I am timid. There have been reports about United Global and the large number of bodyguards around me in the United States."

He spends hundreds of millions of dollars on a security company, and always has less than ten personal bodyguards.

It can be said that among those publicly known American wealthy people, Milo Blackburn has the most bodyguards.

"Okay. I understand. Be safe and we'll talk when we get back to the States if anything happens."

After saying this, Old David hung up the phone.

Milo then put down the satellite phone and looked at David and Kenny who had serious expressions.

"Let's go and meet Mondale."

He said: "Also, those Japanese people should be here by now. I should ask them to give me some explanation, haha~~"

Seeing that the boss could still laugh easily, David and Kenny both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they followed their boss and walked towards the press room outside the US Embassy.

But when I looked at the boss's vigorous steps and strong figure in front of me.

They were all aware of the situation and had also sat in the car with Milo for more than an hour.

At this moment, they couldn't help but deeply admire their boss.

Because at that time, they were really nervous and scared.

Especially David, who was driving at the time, almost couldn't stand the pressure.

Because he was afraid that the car would hit someone else, or be hit by someone and detonate the explosives prematurely.

That’s more than ten kilograms of high explosives!

The people in the car will definitely die without a burial place.

Kenny made the explosives and David was in charge of placing them.

Of course they were both worried and scared.

But what about the boss? Not only was he the mastermind of all this, but he also never showed any nervous expression from beginning to end.

If this was an act, David and Kenny felt that their boss's sophistication and calmness were unmatched in the world.

And if it is courage, then the boss is most likely the bravest person in the world.

It's just a bit perverted that he would actually do such a thing.

No one would believe it if you told them.

It was obvious that the big shot on the other end of the phone just now had doubts.

But the other party didn't believe it either.

Because the possibility that Milo directed and acted in the film himself is too outrageous and neurotic.
