1009 Sheep Slaughtering Methods of the Shameless U.S. Government (2/5)

With the rise of the Japanese economy, the U.S. trade deficit with Japan has been widening in recent years.

The Japanese are waving a lot of money and constantly buying American companies in the United States, buying houses and land.

There are even rumors that the Japanese have already bought half of the United States.

With the massive influx of Japanese machinery manufacturing and electronic products into the United States, capital has entered the United States in a big way and swallowed up American enterprises, causing a considerable impact on traditional American industries, countless factories have closed down and gone bankrupt, and workers have lost their jobs.

Under these circumstances, anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States has also become high.

In addition, American politicians can easily be elected as long as they are campaigning and as long as they desperately scold Japan and shout slogans to boycott Japanese products. The trade deficit between the United States and Japan grew, and eventually it turned from a trade friction into a trade war.

At such a time, when such a thing happens, everyone in the Japanese government knows what is going on.

"Toshiba's trade in the U.S. reached $2.4 billion last year, and the trade volume of the entire Mitsui Group exceeded $5 billion...... said quietly.

Toshiba is the largest exporter of Japan to the United States.

From electronics to mechanical products, Toshiba's products cover a wide range of fields.

It just so happened that the Americans were given an excuse again.

"Now the Americans don't just want fines! They want to take this opportunity to politically solve the trade deficit with our country!" said the head of Toshiba Corporation, who also pointed out the reasons for the Americans' seizure.

Americans are too shameless.

The competitiveness of their own products is not good, and they can't survive in the market, so they are blamed for the results.

"It's not about the impact of the trade deficit, it's about the U.S. government forcing us to hand us over!" Noboru Takeshita growled.

"People don't know where they have gone for a long time, so we have to ask the Americans! Maybe the Americans have controlled them and forced us to hand them over!" The person in charge of Toshiba is also angry.

This prime minister is not tough at all.

Once Toshiba is taken over by the U.S. government, the next step is to take action against other manufacturing companies in Japan.

The Japanese government has been forced to sign the Plaza Accord to make the world take on the debt of Americans through exchange rate changes.

"What kind of attitude do you have?" Noboru Takeshita was also angry, "You think the government wants to see such a thing happen?"

He felt that this head was quite aggrieved.

In May 1987, when Noboru Takeshita was the secretary general of the Liberal Democratic Party, he held a political reception and received 2 billion yen at once by selling entertainment tickets to raise money for the conference, which fully demonstrated his economic and political strength.

It's just that no one knew at the time that the money was all taken by Noboru Takeshita in bribes.

The Rikulut Incident, which plunged Noboru Takeshita into a catastrophe, has not yet broken out.

Noboru Takeshita has abundant means in China, but he is also very helpless against the gadfly behavior of his American father.

"Americans lost hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock market crash two months ago, and they want to divert attention now. ”

"Now that their stock market has recovered, what about ours?" said Mitsui, the head of the company, coldly.

Others will be afraid of Takeshita Noboru, they are not afraid.

The Mitsui Group's strength in Japan is strong enough.

In the face of their attitude, he couldn't be angry.

In the United States, President Reagan was listening to Treasury Secretary Baker and said, "So our trade deficit continues to widen, and the trade deficit with Japan is growing the fastest......

Last year, the U.S. had the largest trade deficit with Japan.

In particular, Japanese automobiles and electronic products are very popular in almost all parts of the world.

"Isn't there a way for our domestic companies to solve their problems and improve their competitiveness?" said Reagan.

Baker shook his head, "Our production costs are higher than Japan......"

It's not just the cost of production, it's more important that U.S.-based companies want higher profits.

The most affected are General Motors and others, which are the main military contractors of the US Department of Defense and behind them stand the consortium that controls the lifeblood of the US economy.

"The industry associations want the government to come up with policies that support domestic products and prevent the introduction ......of cheap Japanese products into the country, which will bankrupt more companies and more workers lose their jobs," Baker said.

What could Reagan say about such a thing?

Global economic integration was proposed by the United States, and was originally intended to turn Europe into a companion to the United States.

Now it's a good thing, as the umbrella of the little devils, the US economy has been poked into a huge hole by the little devils under their protection.

"Your Excellency, we can take this opportunity to impose sanctions on Toshiba Group and other related companies for violating the Batumi embargo on the supply of prohibited equipment and foundations to socialist countries...... "After Baker left, President Reagan summoned his think tank, hoping to have a countermeasure.

If there is fair competition, everyone knows that domestic companies in the United States can compete with Japanese companies except in some high-tech fields.

And ordinary consumer electronics, the domestic cost in the United States is much higher than that of the little devil.

In the United States, even many military units are willing to choose equipment from Japan, which has good technical performance, cheap price, and more importantly, durability, and is not harsh on the environment.

"Taking advantage of the Toshiba affair?" Reagan frowned.

As the president of a world superpower, he is still a little reluctant to do such a thing, which is too inauthentic.

"Your Excellency, everything gives way in the face of national interests. The Japanese, for the sake of their interests, for a profit of only tens of millions of dollars, exported top-of-the-line strategic processing equipment to our enemies. According to estimates, in order to reopen the gap with the Soviets and maintain our leading edge, the government must invest 200~30 billion US dollars in the technical field of nuclear submarines......"

Another adviser said.

"These little devils, greedy for petty profits, have brought such a big hidden danger to our national security that it is not enough to apologize for their crimes! These losses must be borne by Japan! Without our protection, they would not have been able to develop at all!"

Another advisor gritted his teeth.

It was precisely because of the protection of the United States that Japan was able to develop rapidly after the war.

In fact, in order to give the Japanese government funds for development, the Japanese government intervened, and the Japanese government did not even make any compensation for the profound disasters caused by their aggression against China, and even many Class-A war criminals escaped punishment by the international tribunal......

The purpose of the United States supporting Japan was to encircle China and defend against the Soviet Union's attack on the United States from the Pacific.

As a result, Japan took advantage of the support of the United States to develop rapidly based on the European and American markets, and in just a few decades, it has developed into the second largest economy after the United States!

"Supporting Japan is for the sake of the national interests of the United States. These bastards don't want to repay the favor, but harm us, and they must be punished severely!"

Almost all of the advisers felt that the Japanese had to be punished severely.

As the leading big brother of the capitalist world, the United States has made it their mission to eliminate the existence of socialism.

The result is good, under the protection of the United States, all kinds of support is uninterrupted, and even the little devils who don't need to worry about national defense actually cheat American dads.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

"If we don't deal with it seriously, more and more Japanese companies will continue to supply China and the Soviet Union with prohibited technology and strategic equipment for money...... One Soviet Union is already too much for us to deal with, and another strong China...... When the time comes, the European countries will be out of our control! Now the European Community is becoming more and more active......"

After World War II, Europe had to rely on the United States across the Atlantic Ocean because of the threat of the Soviet Union.

During World War II, Europe had not been supported by the United States, and Europe had already been killed by Hitler.

As the control of the United States deepened, the European economy was disintegrated by the United States and could only become a vassal of the United States.

Naturally, these countries are not convinced, and they are constantly making trouble.

Just as the French supplied nuclear technology to Iraq.

The United States can't clean up France, and if it can't even clean up a little Japan under their control, how can it be a big brother in the future?

"Not only must Toshiba be fined $15 billion as originally planned, but they must also increase their fines for exporting prohibited equipment to China, which will be $20 billion, to make up for the technological investment we need to invest in maintaining our superiority over the Soviet Union, and at the same time, we must impose a 200 percent tariff on all Toshiba imports, stop importing any Toshiba products for five years, close down all Toshiba factories in the United States, and completely drive Toshiba out of the United States......"

"Toshiba sells a lot of products in our country. Someone said worriedly.

If Toshiba is kicked out, there will be a bigger market for its domestic counterparts in the United States.

In this way, the unemployment rate can be effectively controlled, and the trade deficit with Japan can be reduced.

"Let Toshiba provide a permanent, free after-sales service ......for all the products they have previously sold in the United States," said the adviser who initially proposed the sanctions, said calmly.

Everyone gasped.

In this way, Toshiba has only one way to go bankrupt.

However, Toshiba is bankrupt, and American capital can buy Toshiba.

Don't they like to buy American companies?

Why can't the U.S. buy bankrupt Japanese companies?

"Not only Toshiba, but also all Japanese companies that provide socialist countries with equipment and technology that violate the Batumi regulations must be fully sanctioned as long as they provide equipment and technology prohibited by socialism...... "Some advisers feel that it is not enough to clean up Toshiba.

After all, Toshiba is not the only Japanese company that has gained a huge market share in the United States.
