Chapter 82 The Cycle of History



After listening to Sakurako Ikeda's description.

Nagano Nao frowned slightly, his eyes gleaming with thought, and it was obvious that he was thinking about something very important.

This made Sakurako Ikeda secretly clench her fists.

He is indeed a wise guy like me, so please make the best choice! But in fact, Nagano Nao is thinking about one question - what the hell is this guy talking about? ! !

Tanaka?

Hashimoto?

Financial crisis?

Chance?

Are there other opportunities besides making money? Okay!

It seems that I am really a bit stupid.

It’s shameful to just say that you don’t understand!

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the relationship. He was embarrassed by Ikeda Sakurako's expectant eyes. Nagano Naoko asked guiltily: "Tanaka's father was pissed off by Takeshita. What does this have to do with Hashimoto, the instability of the financial market, and us?"

"What?"

Ikeda Sakurako was visibly stunned.

A strange thought flashed through my mind - could it be that a guy as smart as me is actually an idiot?

"Isn't it obvious? Takeshita's reorganization when Kakuei Tanaka was seriously ill indirectly angered Tanaka to death. In this way, Makiko, as the heir of the Tanaka family, will definitely support the Ampe family, and then dealing with Hashimoto Ryutaro to support Koizumi will become an inevitable result.

Isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”

What the hell?

Nagano Nao was already confused, and he was even more confused after hearing this: "Aren't Koizumi and Hashimoto allies?"

"Ally? Who told you that?"

"Aren't they all from Qinghe?"

"You big fool. That's not the case. The truth is that it has something to do with what happened fifty years ago."

“.”

Middle period.

Ichiro Hatoyama became president of the Liberal Party and formed a cabinet, but was stripped of his public office by Douglas MacArthur, citing his unclean history.

In order to retain power, Hatoyama found Yoshida Shigeru, the second-in-command of the Liberal Party at the time, and reached a gentleman's agreement. As a result, with Hatoyama's support, Yoshida Shigeru got the prime minister's seal, and then realized the power of power and could not give it up.

In a fit of anger, Hatoyama left the Liberal Party with a series of Kishi Nobusuke's confidants and stepped down. Finally, he took back the prime ministerial seal because Yoshida Shigeru's term of office expired, and merged the Liberal Party into the Liberal Democratic Party.

However, the fight between the two also involved more forces and evolved into constant fights and struggles between several major families.

For a long time, the presidents of major political parties in Japan have been of the same bloodline and if bloodline is not enough, they will choose adopted sons, and if adopted sons are not enough, they will choose direct descendants.

There are two heirs on Hatoyama's side, one is his son-in-law Kintaro Abe, and the other is Nobusuke Kishi. Nobusuke Kishi's original name was Satosuke, and his most trusted subordinate was Takeo Fukuda.

The successor to the LDP president took over the prime ministerial seal, and in 1960 Kishi Nobuyuki handed over his direct lineage to Fukuda.

At the same time, Yoshida Shigeya cultivated his own direct descendant, Kakuei Tanaka. Fate is always full of inexplicable coincidences. Yoshida Shigeya also had a daughter, so there was another direct heir, Aso Taiga, who also had a son, Aso Taro.

But compared to Hatoyama, Yoshida Shigeru's other heir is Sato Eisaku from the Sato family. He and Kishi Nobuyuki are brothers, but after Kishi Nobuyuki and Hatoyama Ichiro left, they each served their own masters.

In 1965, when Sato Eisaku got the prime minister's seal, Tanaka, who was from the same faction, basically controlled the party's internal connections. However, because of the relationship with the previous generation, Fukuda, who had served three consecutive terms as the Minister of Finance, did not buy it.

But in the end, because Nakasone, Ohira and Miki joined the war, Sato Eisaku acted as a middleman and reached a gentleman's agreement with Fukuda and Tanaka.

History is often similar to coincidences.

It was originally agreed that everyone would take turns and Fukuda would go first, but who knew that Tanaka cheated and contacted other people behind the scenes to get himself promoted. It was not until Tanaka died that Fukuda got the seal at the age of 71. He also published a book to scold Tanaka for being a bastard and untrustworthy.

Originally, with one of them dead, the fight should have come to an end, but as Fukuda passed on the inheritance to Kishi Nobuyuki's son-in-law Kintaro Abe, and Tanaka was succeeded by Takeshita, the current situation has occurred.

Because when Tanaka was hospitalized a few years ago, General Takeshita reorganized the Tanaka faction, which was a betrayal in the traditional sense, so Tanaka was so angry that he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and could not be rescued.

It was also for this reason that Makiko Tanaka found Sakurako Ikeda, the vice president of the Heisei New Women's Club.

After hearing these things, Nagano Nao was stunned for a long time. All kinds of parties, reorganizations, and factions made the listeners dizzy.

Damn it, why do I feel like a fool!

After sorting out the relationship, this guy finally figured out that Ryutaro Hashimoto was from the Takeshita faction, while Koizumi was from the Ape faction, so Tanaka Makiko wanted to deal with Hashimoto.

After figuring out the reason, Nagano Nao said with disdain, "The people on Yoshida Shigeru's side are too unrefined, aren't they?"

"What?" Sakurako Ikeda's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise, as if she was looking at an idiot.

Nagano Nao remained noncommittal and said with contempt, "Isn't it? Yoshida Shigeru first broke the agreement with Hatoyama, Tanaka broke the agreement with Fukuda, and then Takeshita betrayed Tanaka. They are all from the same family. So I think there must be something wrong with Tanaka Makiko."

"What's the problem?"

"Is this still okay? Tanaka Makiko holds a grudge against Takeshita, so she's going to Hashimoto to support her rival Koizumi. Don't you think there's something wrong?"

"What's wrong? If it were me, I would do the same."

Nagano Nao was extremely surprised.

What kind of crazy logic do women have? Are they all so unreasonable? Ikeda Sakurako smiled and said, "This is how we women think. If we love someone, we love him till the end. If we hate someone, we kill him."

“.”

Women are so scary!

"Are you worried about Tanaka? To be honest, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have realized that they are indeed traditional and untrustworthy. But Tanaka is a woman like me, and I understand her thinking. I can still cooperate with her until we get to this point."

Nagano Nao said unhappily: "I am worried about you, are you sure you are not sick?"

“I can’t prove whether I am mentally ill or not, but can you prove that you are not mentally ill?”

“.”

Nagano Naoto couldn't utter a word.

you do not say!

There is no one in this world who is not mentally ill.

Seeing that Ikeda Sakurako seemed a little disappointed, Nagano Nao felt a little pity for her. He changed the subject and said, "Even so, I don't think I have the ability to participate in such a fight between big men."

Ikeda Sakurako took a sip of wine and said with the same pity: "Nagano, do you still want to stay out of it now? It started the moment you graduated from Keio and entered Nihon Seiho."

"What?"

"You who went to the Nagano family still have the blood of the Nakamura family in your body. Don't you realize that you are so similar to historical figures in some way?"
