Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Umibe, as a candidate of the Liberal Democratic Party, was elected Prime Minister of Japan on August 9, 1989, and ended his premiership at the end of 1991, he experienced the peak of Japan's bubble economy and the initial stage of the stock market and real estate collapse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAnd this prime minister, who has been in power for 812 days, has also become one of the longest-serving prime ministers in Japan in the 90s of the last century.

In April 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev visited Japan in April 1991 as the first former Soviet president after World War II. Of course, Gorbachev refused.

Toshiki Umibe changed his strategy because he received news from a friend in the White House that the Soviets would attack the navy, especially the Pacific Fleet, after cutting the army, which was a great thing for Japan, and if the issue of the four northern islands, which had been facing each other for nearly half a century, could be resolved in his own hands, he would also become one of the greatest prime ministers in Japanese history.

So he urgently summoned the director of the Japanese Defense Agency, Gen Nakatani, to analyze how likely it is to take back the four northern islands from the Soviet Union this time.

So far, Toshiki Umibe is optimistic about the sustainable development of Japan's economy, believing that now that Japan has become a world-class economic power, it should actively seek the right of a political power, and if a gap can be opened from the international events of the Soviet Union, Japan's performance will surely impress Western countries.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you say that we are going to negotiate with a tough attitude on the issue of the four northern islands of the Soviet Union? Isn't that a bit abrupt, because we don't have enough leverage on this issue? "Gen Nakatani is younger than Toshiki Umibe, and he thinks more carefully, and if it weren't for the fact that the U.S.-Japan security treaty limited his talents, Gen Nakatani would have been far better than the mediocre defense minister in history, and he knew that his ambitions would not be less than those of his ancestors when he became defense minister and proposed to abolish the civilian system.

"Your Excellency Gen Nakatani, you must know that the current Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse, if diplomatic pressure is launched on him at this time, there should be hope to take back the four northern islands from the Soviet Union, even if we can't recapture those islands 100% and only get back some of them, at least we can make a big fuss at the negotiating table and force the Soviet Union to retreat and compromise." Toshiki Umibe paced back and forth, excited at the thought of the woolly bear being able to eat in his hands. For more than half a century, with the exception of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan has not taken advantage of Russia.

Of course, Japan is still on the verge of an economic bubble collapse, and the false prosperity has not made Toshiki Kaibe aware of the precursors of the economic decline that will follow.

"You think about it, we have been militarily suppressed by the USSR for almost a hundred years, and we can finally sanction this group of Siberian barbarians today by economic means." The more Toshiki Umibe spoke, the more excited he became, and he wished that he would now draw up a plan to negotiate with the Soviet Union.

"Why don't we wait a little longer, and wait until the Soviets really dismantle the Pacific Fleet before we come and ask them to negotiate with them on the four northern islands." Gen Nakatani made a more compromise suggestion to Toshiki Umibe, and the dead polar bear could jump up and bite back to Japan, and a single bite could also bite out a shocking bloody hole.

"No, no, no, I can't wait. Now you have to talk to the Soviets, there will be changes over time, Nakatani Gen, don't you see that the newly appointed Soviet President Yanayev is preparing for a new round of institutional reform? If the Soviet Union comes out of the crisis, it will mean that our chances of regaining the four northern islands will be slim again. Toshiki Umibe sat back in his chair, he also had his own considerations, judging directly that this was the most difficult period for the Soviet Union, and it was also an excellent opportunity for the Japanese to take advantage of the fire and loot.

"I'm going to visit the Maritime Self-Defense Force in a few days, Your Excellency Gen Nakatani, please be fully prepared and be sure to show the heroic posture of our Self-Defense Force in front of the media camera." At the end, the prime minister added, "If the Soviets refuse to give in, we will draw the Americans into this turmoil, and presumably they will not let go of such a good opportunity to force the Soviet Union just after suffering losses on the Baltic Sea issue." ”

Isn't this the dog of the Americans again? Gen Nakatani muttered quietly, but it was impossible for him to say these words, so he had to nod his head in response, while planning how to show the majesty of the Japanese naval force with Kongo-class destroyers, and not be dwarfed in front of the Kiev-class aircraft carriers.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. I'm sure everyone will be impressed by the Maritime Self-Defense Force. Nakatani nodded seriously, dealing with public relations problems was originally his strength.

It's just that Toshiki Umibe forgot that the Soviet Navy was able to let the four fleets hold war exercises in different sea areas at the same time during its heyday, and Japan's so-called Maritime Self-Defense Force was far from reaching such a height. Ninety years ago, Japan could have been lucky enough to bully the declining Tsarist Russia, and ninety years later, the lucky Japan is no longer the opponent of the declining red polar bear.

Toshiki Umibe was also a man of his word, and within a few days he announced an official visit to the Maritime Self-Defense Force and landed on a Kongo-class destroyer that the Japanese were proud of on a sunny day. And Nakatani Gen will indeed do things beautifully enough in front of the media, the new gray-black destroyer is shown in front of the media, and what is also eye-catching is the carefully selected tall and mighty naval image, the air early warning helicopter and the P-2 maritime patrol aircraft formed into a formation flew over the head of Toshiki Umibe, and the neat and solemn lineup gave Toshiki Umibe an unrealistic illusion of a powerful navy.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no aircraft carriers and U.S. troops stationed on Okinawa, it almost made Japanese journalists think that they had returned to the level of the imperial navy during World War II.

Standing aboard the destroyer, Toshiki Umibe's emotions were surging, and the visit concluded with the prime minister's speech to members of the Naval Self-Defense Force. The prime minister stood on a makeshift podium set up on the ship's side deck, and under the stage sat all the navy personnel carefully arranged by Nakatani.

At this time, Nakatani Gen, the person in charge of the first-hand operation, stood beside Toshiki Umibe, smiled and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency the President, are you still satisfied with the scene I arranged?" ”

Toshiki Umibe, who felt the cool sea breeze on the deck, replied with satisfaction, "Of course I am satisfied, Your Excellency Gen Nakatani, you have shown the perfect image of our Self-Defense Force in the new era. ”

Then he turned back to the members of the Self-Defense Forces who were listening intently to his speech, and said with great emotion, "I am very pleased to stand here today and look at your enthusiasm and hope. We in Japan have gone through all kinds of hardships, but we have not forgotten to develop our military strength to defend our country. In the same way, even in today's peaceful and stable world, in some areas where disputes have not yet been resolved, we still need our armed forces. ”

A reporter on the side interrupted Toshiki Umibe when he paused just right, "So, Your Excellency Prime Minister, will you really increase the military spending of the Self-Defense Forces?" Will this be seen as a resurgence of the militaristic right? ”

Toshiki Umibe said resolutely, "No, our Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is a presence to maintain peace and unity, but this does not mean that we will ignore the fact that others have occupied Japan's sea islands for decades, and we will insist on resolving these disputes through negotiation." ”

Speaking of this, he stroked the cold hull of the destroyer and said slowly, "But this does not mean that our armed forces will sit idly by, and the Japanese Navy will fight resolutely against those countries that want to separate our sacred and inalienable territory." ”

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and many members of the Self-Defense Forces hoped that the navy would break free from the shackles of the treaty and become a real national power, after all, every Japanese naval commander had a dream of recovering the strength of the naval empire in World War II.

And even a fool can tell who the Japanese prime minister is targeting, and Toshiki Umibe deliberately used the Japanese Navy instead of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, which indicates that the Japanese government, which has always been weak on the island issue, is preparing to return a tough negotiation this time? All of a sudden, the media wrote down Toshiki Umibe's conversation word for word, preparing for the headline that would appear in the newspaper the next day.

It's just that everyone is wondering, will this time it will end like the previous negotiations? (To be continued.) )
