Unlearned and unskillful?

Nagano Nao's face darkened.

It's not that he didn't understand, but it's impossible that Ikeda Sakurako was just showing off her Chinese proficiency. She was obviously talking about the current situation in the world.

Some of them can be understood when combined with future events.

But some really don't understand what they are implying.

Observe the way of heaven and follow the way of heaven? Therefore, there are five thieves in heaven, and those who see them will prosper?

What does this mean! Shit! Am I a real devil? Is she the fake Japanese? "What does this have to do with being uneducated? Come on, I'm just an ordinary person. Ikeda, you don't think everyone is as perverted as you and can have a deep understanding of Chinese."

Nagano Nao said this, looking like he had admitted his weakness.

The momentum that Ikeda Sakurako had been building up was instantly shattered by this rogue attitude. She could only roll her eyes and say, "No wonder you don't consider entering politics. You even said that your moral bottom line is too high. But if you participate in politics with such political awareness, you may not survive the first part."

"Doesn't this just show that I am very smart, playing to my strengths and avoiding my weaknesses, and perfectly avoiding my own shortcomings."

"I take back what I said. Being able to say something like that in front of a woman is ruthless enough to make you the most powerful politician in the universe."

“.”

While talking.

Nao Nagano had no choice but to surrender.

It’s not that he’s not good at chess, it’s mainly because Sakurako Ikeda was wearing a little leather skirt today.

If you shake your thighs for no reason, you will feel dizzy and your car will be eaten up, your cannons will be lost, and even your elephant will be bitten.

With this situation, there’s no way I’m not going to lose!

So despicable!

He uses such despicable tricks outside the chessboard every time he plays chess!

Nagano cursed inwardly, but his eyes didn't obey his own command at all and kept looking at those white thighs.

The soles of the feet, which were as big as a palm, were red, white and delicate, and surprisingly, there were no calluses.

The instep of her foot was smooth, with blue blood vessels faintly visible, and her toes were tightly arranged like silkworms, without the forked toes that most girls have.

The white things huddled together look very delicate, like a work of art.

"Is it pretty?" Having won, Ikeda Sakurako was in a very good mood. She stretched her feet forward and asked with a smile. If it wasn't so pretty, how could my eyes not listen? Nagano Nao said very honestly, "It's pretty!"

"Do you want to touch it?"

"think!"

"That's the honest guy!" Ikeda Sakurako chuckled, but her eyes gradually became deeper. "Food, sex, and love are the greatest desires of human beings; death and poverty are the greatest evils of human beings. Food and sex are the most instinctive needs of human beings. Therefore, when any society develops to its limit, the upper class will plunder more resources. When the lower class's food and sexual rights are gradually deprived, the dynasty will inevitably collapse."

"Then what?"

"Then heroes emerge in troubled times, overthrowing the old dynasty and ushering in a new era, and this cycle repeats over and over again."

Nagano Nao was startled and said in an exaggerated manner: "Ikeda, you are not planning to rebel, are you?"

"Idiot!" Sakurako Ikeda rolled her eyes, but she was in high spirits and obviously satisfied with the feeling of being able to give orders.

Nagano asked without shame: "Then why are you making such a big fuss?"

After taking a sip of tea, Ikeda Sakurako said leisurely, "Because the balance of the Cold War has tilted, we have lost the favorable time, and the favorable location has become less important. The decline in fertility cannot be stopped. The favorable time, location, and people are not in our favor, so the decline of national fortune is inevitable. But China is different. The world has changed. Now we have the favorable time, location, and people. It is inevitable that we will usher in a period of rising national fortune. Isn't this our opportunity?!"

us?

Nagano Nao's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were secretly observing Ikeda Sakurako's expression.

He never believed this woman.

I don't believe it at all! A heavy drinker, a social queen, no normal woman would accept such a title, let alone Sakurako Ikeda, who came from a prominent family and had an absurdly high IQ.

But so many people were kept in the dark, even my growing up playmates were deceived.

It's easy to cheat someone!

It would be terrible if you deceived countless people.

This woman was meticulous and had an erratic personality. She looked like a beautiful cherry blossom when she smiled, but Nagano Nao had never seen such a terrifying woman in his entire life.

Unlike Ikeda Xiaoye's murderous look, those dark eyes were unfathomable and one could never guess what the other person was thinking.

What's worse is that even though I was very cautious, I still fell in love with him involuntarily.

If not, how could he be so excited and full of energy just by her teasing?

The other party is obviously very good at taking advantage of human nature, and can easily take advantage of food, sex and desire. He is even better at deceiving people than the leader of a pyramid scheme.

But one thing is absolutely correct, Ikeda Sakurako is very purposeful in doing things. Just as she said, feelings are just excuses and sustenance that the weak find for themselves. There must be some ulterior motive for being friendly with me.

I just keep thinking about it, but I can't figure out what it is about me that the other person needs.

But now, when the other party mentioned "us", his expression was natural, and it didn't seem like he had any ulterior motive or psychological suggestion at all.

Why do I always feel that this woman is really good to me without asking for anything in return? Is she attracted to my body because I am too handsome? Nagano Naoko himself does not believe this excuse, but his intuition tells him that the other party really has no purpose.

Although those eyes were deep, there was no calculation in them.

Maybe it's because his disguise is so good that I can't see through it, or maybe he won't understand even if you kill him, because a personality that is different from Japanese men is what Ikeda Sakurako needs most.

If you are not careful.

Their eyes met.

Nagano Nao didn't dodge and asked directly: "What does this have to do with us?!"

Our me! How could I not understand at this time? She said with interest: "No matter how good a sword is, it will rust if it is always hidden in the sheath."

"I just really don't understand!" Nagano Nao pretended to be stupid.

Ikeda Sakurako did not expose his suspicion and disguise, but just sneered: "What an idiot, life is like chess, and chess is like life. Just like this step of leaving the chariot, from the moment you came, there was no choice, you could only consider whether to save the chariot or the horse. Moreover, the change of the world is now a major event in the world, and no one in the world can stay out of it, whether he is willing or not. You are not naive to think that the current domestic situation will not change, and there will be good days in the future, right? When we set up the Three Friends, if the Takeshita faction continues to control the cabinet, you and I will be suppressed and marginalized!"

That is indeed the case.

Since the Rokubonme incident, although he had gained some benefits, it was equivalent to standing on the side of Ikeda Sakurako.

The purpose is also very clear. They want to grab resources from the vested interest factions, and wait for the other party to catch their breath. Suppression and marginalization are the inevitable result.

Although this answer is very true, I don’t know why I feel a little lost in my heart.

I am such a jerk! I am still looking forward to love!

Secretly despising himself, Nagano Nao said unhappily: "Even so, there is no point in always doing this kind of thing."

"Naive, heroes emerge in troubled times because troubled times need heroes.

Just as King Zhou of Shang abolished slavery, stopped human sacrifice, and improved the status of women, it was undoubtedly a blessing for ordinary people.

However, such actions undoubtedly infringed upon the interests of the major slave owners. Primitive religions were also dissatisfied with the weakening of religious power, and eventually they pretended to obey and intensified oppression and exploitation, causing the people to live in misery and suffering.

However, ordinary people are ignorant and attribute their misfortunes to King Zhou. As the saying goes, "God sees as the people see, and God hears as the people hear", they mean to obey the will of God. Wars broke out everywhere, the whole world rebelled, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed.

Qin Shi Huang ended seven hundred years of war, and it was a blessing that people no longer had to fight and hate each other. However, the Qin Dynasty perished in just two generations, and the paradise returned to war and fighting.

What is the difference between its reasons and those of the Shang Dynasty?

The old aristocracy controlled the academic cliques and secretly colluded with the remnants of the six kingdoms. Even the people within the empire were dissatisfied, and they pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, making the world believe that the Qin Dynasty was harsh and tyrannical and that they should rebel.

When the First Emperor was alive, he was just one man, suppressing the whole world, and naturally no one dared to rebel. However, he was still a human being, and the Qin Empire would inevitably disappear with his death.

Frankly speaking, it is not worth mentioning. Heaven is unfair and human nature is selfless, so no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be breached from the inside, just like the current changes in Eastern Europe. "

They are all incoherent and sound too much of a hassle to think about.

It took Nagano Nao a long time to figure out what it meant.

As a result, a huge wave gradually rose in his heart, getting higher and higher, until it completely submerged his heart.

These days, he has long discovered that there is actually no bubble in the Japanese economy.

In other words, such a bubble is really nothing! As the experts on TV said, Japan has a small population and more mountains, and the population density is the highest in the world. In contrast, in Hong Kong, real estate has permanent property rights and can be inherited by ancestors.

An ordinary wage earner can buy a single-family villa with ten years' income. If this is called a bubble, then there is no bubble! With Japan's economic strength, even if it is delayed for another ten or twenty years, it will definitely not be a problem.

But in the end, the bubble burst!

Twenty, thirty, possibly even forty years or forever are lost.

Naoio Nagano has always felt that it was because of external pressure that the Japanese yen had to give way to the US dollar and was forced to burst its own bubble to provide blood transfusion to the United States.

Sensing Nagano Nao's inner turmoil, Ikeda Sakurako looked up at him, her starry eyes as vast as the abyss, swallowing up the sight.

"Behind the current cabinet is Takeshita Noboru's connections at Waseda University, which have controlled public opinion for many years. Hashimoto Ryutaro has enormous power in the Ministry of Finance, and he has the support of the Mitakai and the cooperation with major financial groups. It is not easy to get them out.

But interests mean responsibilities, power means obligations, and status means responsibility.

So it is not a big deal for Tanaka to be promoted, and it is also a small matter to short the stock market, but it is a big deal for him to enter the Cultural Affairs Bureau and control public opinion. If the cabinet's economic and diplomatic strategies fail, leading to a stock market crash, a real estate crash, and countless people going bankrupt, losing their jobs, and committing suicide, what do you think people need most at that time? ! "

What is most needed? The economic base determines the social order, and the social order determines the political environment.

Because poverty breeds change.

When people are facing difficulties in life and economic pressure, they will need change. When the economic situation gets worse, someone will stand up and will naturally be supported. This is the general trend.

If they cannot keep it, it means they are not a qualified cabinet and they will inevitably step down!

If a hero appears to change this situation, that is the way of heaven and what the people want. Even if he is not a hero, people psychologically need the current bear to roll away.

The current situation between the East and the West is changing. In this trend, the Takeshita faction and the Ministry of Finance, due to their status and responsibilities as vested interests, must protect the economy and fertility rate.

The best way to force them out of office is naturally to disrupt the economic order.

If we just fight, people will definitely die, a lot of people will die.

Unemployment, bankruptcy, suicide!

The documents left behind after the bubble burst recorded this, and Sakurako Ikeda obviously knew this as well.

When the sky is murderous, the stars will move and change their positions; when the earth is murderous, dragons and snakes will rise from the land; when people are murderous, heaven and earth will be reversed; when heaven and people are murderous together, the foundation for all changes will be established.

After understanding the meaning of this sentence, Nagano Nao felt a chill all over his body, a chill that penetrated his soul to the bone.

For the sake of power, they don't care about human life. Don't these bastards have any humanity at all? A question lingered in my mind.

Is this your purpose, Ikeda? Fighting for power and profit will cause many people in your own country to die. This is really abominable!

The grassroots mentality is deeply rooted, and Nagano Nao couldn't help but flash a trace of anger across his face as he looked at Ikeda Sakurako.

Their eyes met.

Therefore, each other's thoughts can be sensed.

There was no emotion in Sakurako Ikeda's eyes, but when she looked at the pair of eyes not far away, a ripple arose deep in her heart.

A little angry.

How can a strong person pity the weak?

And a little relieved.

The person I chose was not wrong after all! Ikeda Sakurako said calmly: "Straight man, are you angry?"

"Don't you think this is abominable?"

"Is it hateful? The world has been changing for thousands of years. Is there any difference between the world today and the past? Countries are fighting and people are suffering. No matter how you choose, there will inevitably be sacrifices. The path of the strong is like this. Let alone some ants, even if the people of the world are in front of you, what difference does it make?"

“.”

Nagano Nao said nothing. His three views were shocked. He couldn't believe that he would hear such inhumane words.

Ikeda Sakurako's eyes were still calm, but seeing his pale face, they softened: "I understand your feelings, but this is your right! If you can't make yourself as hard as stone and lose your conscience, you can completely think of it as doing it for the overall situation."

"What's the big picture?!"

"The destiny is in China. We can deepen cooperation with China, but many people have been too deeply involved with the United States in the long-term development. We don't want the existing situation to be changed. However, if we continue like this, it will definitely bring a heavier price. Isn't it a better choice when we can accept the bubble bursting?"

China?

cooperate!

Nagano Nao suddenly remembered that he was a fake Japanese!

Bang! Nagano Nao slapped himself.

He didn't understand what assimilation meant before, but now he realizes how terrible it is.

I almost betrayed my ancestors!

Oh shit.

How could I forget such an important thing! Realize this.

The anger in my heart was completely gone.

Sakurako Ikeda was stunned for a moment. No matter how smart she was, she couldn't understand why Nagano Nao would slap her.

I'm a little worried that this guy's worldview will collapse.

Ikeda Sakurako changed her tone and said, "To be honest, this is the world of the strong.

In this world, the weak need to rely on the strong to survive. Only if we exist can we provide jobs and food for the weak and keep them alive.

If we were gone, they would really not be able to survive.

So, Sakurako isn’t as bad as you think.”

In other words, she is not really inhumane? It was the same words, but in a different way. Nagano felt much better.

But just now, he felt that his worldview had collapsed, his hands and feet were cold, and he really couldn't accept such a cruel and inhumane statement.

The heart started beating again.

But there was also a deep sense of doubt.

Having said so much, are you so optimistic about China's development? Looking at Ikeda Sakurako's face, I couldn't suppress the thoughts in my heart.

If you don't look carefully, ordinary people can't tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese, but after being a little Japan for so long, Nagano Nao still discovered subtle differences.

Just like Yasuko Sawaguchi, she has slightly high cheekbones, a typical Japanese beauty.

Or Kurigen Kazuko, who has a round face and is also the most common Japanese beauty.

Kanako Nagano, Yuki Nagano, and Chiyuki Nagano all have various similar characteristics.

But Ikeda Sakurako is different. She has a standard oval face and big eyes, without any Japanese facial features.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ikeda, you're not a traitor, are you?"

"Idiot, what if he is also a Japanese traitor!"

"I mean the spy sent by China. Otherwise, why do you seem to have no hostility towards China?"

"Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. What has the country's affairs got to do with us Chinese? Besides, life is fleeting, and the existence of a country is but a passing moment.

Seriously speaking, there are only thousand-year-old families, not thousand-year-old dynasties. Power and interests are eternal, and the winner survives and the loser dies. In the face of the victory and defeat of worldly affairs, life and death are nothing but inevitable cause and effect. What is there to talk about grudges and hatreds? "

"You've ruined my worldview."

"Hey, hey, hey, to be honest, it was because you suggested shorting the stock market that I came up with this idea. Why are you putting all the blame on me?"

"It seems like we are the villains! Is this what you mean by the Five Thieves in Heaven?"

"What's wrong with being a thief? He who steals a hook is a thief, and he who steals a country is a marquis. Please look at your face, hair, and eyes! Speaking of which, our ancestors went to borrow seeds from the Song Dynasty, and your Nakamura family tree should be from the Tang Dynasty."

“That makes sense.”

"Do you feel better?"

"yes!"

"I understand. When I first heard these words, I felt the same as you. My world collapsed!"

"It's a pity you're not a boy."

"If I were a boy, you would want to stab me to death right now!"

"I want to stab you to death right now."

"Then please work hard!"

“.”
