First, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival

The results announced by Akio Nagama, director general of the Japanese Defense Agency, shocked all US military enterprises that were ready to make a fortune in Japan, and he announced that the Maritime Self-Defense Force would purchase shore-to-ship missile systems and cruise missiles jointly developed by the Soviet Union and the Japanese government, and would no longer accept project applications from other companies.

As soon as this remark came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and everyone with a slightly clearer mind knew that the result this time must be that the Soviet Union had intervened in the back and wanted to get this profit from it.

Just after Akio Kuma announced the results of the bidding for the Maritime Self-Defense Force, members of the Japanese House of Representatives with colluding interests began to put pressure on the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and high-ranking Japanese government officials, including Akio Kuma and even Ryutaro Hashimoto, became the targets of intimidation. Under the pretext of not agreeing with the new budget, it is hoped that the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force will abandon the procurement of missile projects that were cooperated between the USSR and Japan.

Of course, as vested interests, no matter how popular the US government is, they will not give up this arms sales project of almost close to 3 billion, and in the face of the aggressive posture of the members of the House of Representatives, the Soviet Union immediately launched a counterattack, and the KGB is the best at digging up scandals among foreign politicians, especially in countries like Japan.

"Even if these are our 'gifts' to Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto, I think they are necessary to strengthen the friendship between the two countries. I think Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto will know how to do it, right? Yanayev asked the Soviet ambassador to Japan to bring this phrase to Ryutaro Hashimoto.

A pile of evidence of economic bribery and lifestyle was thrown on the table of Ryutaro Hashimoto, a lawmaker who tried to threaten Hashimoto Ryutaro to abandon the Maritime Self-Defense Force's procurement of a joint venture missile program. The Soviet Union did not choose to make this information public, but gave it to the Japanese prime minister as a gift. In Yanayev's words, the other side knows better what to do with these things.

Spreading these political scandals will inevitably affect the ruling position of the cabinet headed by Ryutaro Hashimoto and social trust, and in the end it will only end up in two shots. But if you use these things to blackmail the other party, you can get an unexpected ending. used to coerce these bribe-taking parliamentarians.

Ryutaro Hashimoto met with the members of the House of Representatives one by one in private, after all, they each represented the interests of different military-industrial giants. And he threw these materials in front of those people straightforwardly, and then said in a flat tone, "These are your usual scandal materials, in fact, when you contact the representatives of Lockheed, you should choose a more hidden place, instead of taking these photos and videotapes." Congressman Akihiro Kishi. ”

"In this era when parliamentarians are forced to resign if their cheating is exposed, what will happen if Congressman Akihiro Kishiko thinks that a bribery scandal like yours spreads?"

Ryutaro Hashimoto pressed the tape recorder on the table, and the contents of the transactions in it were clearly audible. Ryutaro Hashimoto pressed the pause button, and Congressman Akihiro Kishiki, who was sitting opposite, was already pale, biting his lip tightly, he wanted to force Ryutaro Hashimoto to give in before, but he didn't expect the other party to bite back.

"If you stop now, I can be innocent, but if you continue to pursue it, I don't make sure that these things will not be released, and don't forget that the Prime Minister has the power to dissolve the House of Representatives early for elections, before the ordinary parliament is held."

Kishiyuki's face twitched, and he had no choice at this time. Presumably before him, Ryutaro Hashimoto had already communicated with others, and the other party broke them one by one.

"You're not the first, and you're not the last, Congressman Akihiro Kishiko. If you are determined to do so, then I will release all the evidence. ”

"Okay, I promise you won't be involved in this anymore, but this evidence must be handed over to me."

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Ryutaro Hashimoto asked.

"What do you mean?" Congressman Akihiro Kishiko was confused by Ryutaro Hashimoto's words.

"You're wrong for provoking a terrible Soviet bear."

Congressman Akihiro Kishiko promised Ryutaro Hashimoto to withdraw from the arms sale, which involved a political struggle, on the condition that all evidence against him be destroyed. But Mr. Hashimoto's plan was far from simple, and he proposed another deal: a new budget bill for Japan's Self-Defense Forces. In the new bill, Ryutaro Hashimoto raised the budget by 20 percent and made it impossible for all the House of Representatives involved in the scandal to veto vote.

The original vigorous opposition to the purchase of jointly manufactured missiles was thus stifled in the cradle, and after the incident, several congressmen suddenly announced their resignation from their posts, in order to protect their own interests, and at the same time surprised others.

In the end, there was no piece of the big cake that originally belonged to them, and the US military industrial complex was naturally very unhappy, and if the pressure from the congressmen failed, they could only choose to let the US government officially exert pressure.

"Oh? Are you saying that the Americans will put pressure on the Japanese government to veto this purchase? ”

This was the message conveyed by the Japanese ambassador to the Soviet Union to Shevardnadze, but after hearing the foreign minister's questioning, Yanayev just smiled and shook his head, signaling that Shevardnadze was really thinking too much, "The United States will put pressure because there are no other forces standing behind Japan to support them, if the Soviet Union stands up and expresses its position when the United States is pressuring, it will support the decision made by the Japanese government, what kind of effect will it have?" ”

"A crisis of distrust in Japan in the United States?" Shevardnadze, who is well versed in the international situation, thought for a while and said.

"The crisis of mistrust is only one aspect, and it may put pressure on the Japanese side at that time, for example, hasn't the Japanese Defense Agency been calling for the abolition of the civilian co-ordination system and elevating the status of the Defense Agency to the level of the Ministry of Defense? If Japan had gone against the Americans, Akio Kuma would never have had this opportunity. ”

Yanayev tapped his hand on the table, a gesture that often represents ulterior intrigues and political struggles, continued, "In doing so, we are creating a rift between Japan and the United States." The next thing the Soviet Union wants to do is to support what the Japanese government wants to do, but the Americans don't want Japan to do, such as the elevation of the status of the Japanese Defense Agency that I just raised. So where do you think Japan will fall in the future? China and the Soviet Union or the United States? ”

"Sino-Soviet." Shevardnadze looked enlightened, he didn't expect that Yanayev's plan actually contained such an ulterior secret.

"From the moment Japan began to accept the deal between us and them, it was destined to be a trap. The arms sales were nothing more than a cover, and the most important thing was to drive a wedge and sow discord between the United States and Japan, to incite hatred and turn Japan into the second ally of the Soviet Union in the Asia-Pacific region. ”

More than 10 years after Yanayev's situation against Japan was arranged, the infiltration of political forces into Japan was bound to be a long-term and silent act, and by the time they became aware of it, the Soviet forces had already taken root in Japan. And as for what the Japanese Red Army did, Yanayev said that the era of armed insurrection to seize power has passed, and since they like the ballot, they use the rules of the ballot to silence the Americans and the Japanese completely.

In fact, Yanayev hoped to reach a consensus with the Japanese Communist Party, but the Japanese Communist Party had a problem with the Soviet Union on the essential issue of a group of Japanese communists who regarded the territory of the four northern islands as more important than anything else, so Yanayev first rejected this group of people.

"So what's next? If the United States had put pressure on Japan and Japan had finally succumbed, wouldn't the situation have been unfavorable to the Soviet Union? Shevardnadze said.

"What are you afraid of, they won't give in, remember the political bribery scandal a few days ago? Oh, the United States has warned the Japanese government not to try to participate in the development of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, and the sex scandal incident at the US military base in the past few days has also made the Japanese government lose face. I wonder how the Japanese, who didn't reap the benefits, could have let these Americans go. ”

"That's a real battle." "Do we need to do something?" After all, it is now half a partner, and it is impossible to watch Japan being suppressed by the United States. ”

"No, now we are waiting to see what happens, and we will definitely not be able to help Japan until the critical moment." Yanayev said. (To be continued.) )
