Volume 3 The Stormy Waves of the East China Sea Chapter 26 Intensified

The car stopped on the side of the road, Kentaro Miyamoto picked up the newsstand on the side of the public tt5 placed in the passenger seat, bought a copy of the Asahi Shimbun and a bottle of mineral water, pretended to be an office worker who had just gone out for lunch, and hurriedly crossed the zebra crossing and walked towards the office building in the center of Ginza

On the fifth floor of the building is a Western-style café that has been beautifully renovated and mainly caters to foreigners

Seeing Li Cunxun sitting at the third table by the window, Kentaro Miyamoto quickly observed the surrounding situation, put the newspaper under his armpit, and walked over quickly

"Why did you choose to meet here?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place, don't move" Li Cunxun glanced at the novel on the table, "Sitting in this position, the nearby surveillance equipment can't see you"

Miyamoto was secretly startled and sat up straight

"I heard, you were promoted again not long ago?"

"It's just a normal job transfer, not a promotion"

Li Cunxun smiled faintly and said to the waiter who came over: "Give this gentleman a cup of the best latte and add more sugar."

Miyamoto smiled politely, and secretly marveled in his heart, Li Cunxun actually remembered his hobby!

After India was "instigated" by Li Cunxun, Kentaro Miyamoto returned to Japan because he received timely news that the press release center of the Indian Prime Minister's Office would be attacked by a suicide bomber, so that the prime minister was spared, and Miyamoto became a "hero" of the Japanese intelligence community After receiving advanced training for half a year, at the end of January this year, Miyamoto was promoted to chief of the Intelligence Security Section of the Intelligence Analysis Division of the Foreign Affairs Bureau According to the practice of the Japanese intelligence community, unless there is an absolute necessity, Miyamoto will leave his field post forever. It is expected that before the age of 50, he will become a senior official in charge of intelligence security or intelligence operations

Miya's local "achievement" came as a big surprise to the Military Intelligence Agency

This also reflects the fact that the Japanese intelligence community is very incompetent, and even did not conduct a "quarantine audit" on Miyamoto

In early March, with the secret help of the MIA, Miyamoto successfully smashed a DPRK intelligence network and arrested more than 20 spies, and at the end of May, Miyamoto turned the tide and arrested South Korean spies who had stolen the blueprints of Japan's new warships

Three "outstanding" performances made Miyamoto's fame more and more valued and reused

In order for Miyamoto to play a more significant role, the MIA did not rush to "activate" him

It was not until the outbreak of the conflict in the East China Sea that Pan Yunsheng sent Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin to Japan on a secret mission that he decided to activate Miyamoto and cooperate with Li Cunxun to collect intelligence

"Tokyo has been very lively lately" When the waiter brought the coffee, Li Cunxun gave a tip, "I heard that dozens of companies have joined forces to raise the market, and there is another opportunity to make money"

Miyamoto frowned slightly, not understanding what Li Cunxun meant

"We are looking for you this time, there are three main things" Liu Xiaobin took Li Cunxun's words and said, "One is the government's rescue plan, the second is the financial budget, and the third is the monitoring list."

Miyamoto was secretly shocked and said, "What do you want this information for?" ”

"You don't need to know this," Liu Xiaobin also put up a shelf, "You were received by the prime minister at the beginning of the month, and then the Foreign Affairs Bureau began to investigate the hot money flowing into Japan As the head of the intelligence and security section, you are the person in direct charge, and you have enough ability to obtain the three pieces of information we need."

"The specific work is in charge of the Intelligence Analysis Division, I don't have what you want"

"If you have it in your hand, we will ask you to bring it directly" Li Cunxun smiled coldly, "With your status in the Foreign Affairs Bureau, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get a few pieces of information that are not too important from the safe of the director of the Intelligence Analysis Division, right?" ”

Miyamoto sighed secretly and said, "I need enough time"

"Twenty-four hours, this time tomorrow, still meet here"

"It's too rushed, I ......"

"After completing the mission, we can arrange for you to leave Japan" Li Cunxun took out a cigarette, "Of course, the premise is that your identity has been exposed, if you want to stay in Japan, you have to find a scapegoatIf you want to leave Japan, we can pick up your family in advance, I won't say much else, this operation is not 'voluntary labor', as long as you complete the task, no matter what the result is, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life"

Miyamoto gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement

Although Li Cunxun did not say it explicitly, Miyamoto had already guessed that it was Li Cunxun who threw up the financial turmoil, or the person who asked Li Cunxun to serve, and the three pieces of information asked for by Li Cunxun were not top secret, but they were all related to finance for a while, and Miyamoto couldn't understand the purpose of Li Cunxun's request for these three pieces of information

After Miyamoto left, Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin sat for about fifteen minutes before checking out and leaving

Half an hour later, the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed

The Nikkei 225 number fell below 8,200 points again, and the yen broke through the 135 mark against the dollar

Tokyo on the 15th was not peaceful, and the Japanese stock and foreign exchange markets, which staged a roller coaster ride, made thousands of investors who believed that the government would bail out the market lose all their money on this battlefield without gunpowder, and the struggle between the two powerful forces became more and more fierce and bloody

The storm didn't stop because night fell

In the evening of the same day, several European television stations reported the news that the Japanese government had ordered intelligence agencies to spy on international financial capital and secretly investigate hedge funds that had entered the Japanese financial market

Although it was just a piece of gossip from an unknown source, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the world was in an uproar

In the middle of the night of the same day, Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Minister of Finance and Administrative Reform, Minister of Economy and Finance, and Chief Cabinet Secretary issued statements through informal channels one after another, saying that the Japanese government did not regulate international financial capital, nor did it illegally investigate hedge funds, and allowed intelligence agencies to intervene, mainly targeting commercial espionage

You can imagine what happened next

On the 16th, when the Tokyo Stock Exchange opened, the Nikkei Stock Average fell below the 7,500 mark

The main driving force for this round of collapse is not international financial capital, but a large number of small and medium-sized Japanese investors who have lost trust in the government, are bearish on the Japanese economy, and have left the market

The yen exchange rate came out of a wave of reversal, rising 58% at the open, recovering the 120 mark in two hours

The "abnormal" exchange rate is mainly due to the fact that a large amount of international financial capital has joined the ranks of speculating on the yen, and another part of international finance has entered the Japanese stock market to buy the bottom, thus pulling up the yen exchange rate

Since then, the Nikkei Stock Average and the yen exchange rate have "parted ways", and Japan's financial industry has officially entered a period of violent shock

Compared with trillions of dollars of international financial capital, the little money invested by Yanbo and others is not a day to buy in the 130135 range smoothly; They rushed to move to the Japanese stock market, because they knew that a stronger storm was yet to come

The violent financial turmoil made Miyamoto realize that he was not the only one who served Li Cunxun

Miyamoto has no choice, he must get the three pieces of information asked for by Li Cunxun within 24 hours, otherwise he will be ruined and die with no place to bury

Also without a choice is Japanese Prime Minister Ozawa

In just one morning, dozens of conglomerates participating in the bailout sent "distress letters" one after another, and all the 10 trillion yen loans guaranteed by the government were sold out

In order to stop the downward trend, the group companies participating in the bailout operation are buying back shares at a high level

The 10 trillion yen smashed down, only allowing the Nikkei to regain the 8,000 mark at the end of the morning, and if there is no new money entering the market, the Nikkei will plummet again after the afternoon open

In the face of the group enterprises that reached out for money, Ozawa couldn't help it

Government credit has peaked, and conglomerates are unable to lend more to companies on the verge of failure

For a prime minister who has no real power, Ozawa does not even have the power to make decisions on "printing money", so how can he satisfy the group companies that are waiting to be fed?

After the afternoon open, the Nikkei fell sharply

Some conglomerates that have received government-guaranteed loans have also joined the sell-off, hoping to obtain as much liquidity as possible to tide over the current difficulties

The more the Japanese stock market falls, the more international hot money pours into Japan to buy the bottom, and the stronger the yen exchange rate moves

The continued strength of the yen exchange rate will inevitably lead to a setback in Japan's exports, and Japanese companies that rely on exports for their livelihoods will enter a harsh winter

Under the effect of the scissors gap in the stock market and foreign exchange market, Japan's economy, which has already suffered from a "severe cold," has not only not improved, but is also terminally ill and will soon become dying

As a prime minister with a background in economics, Ozawa is well aware of the final result

As the financial environment continues to deteriorate, the Japanese government will face a dilemma

If we bail out the market, raise the Nikkei index, restore investor confidence, and a large amount of international financial capital that has entered the market to buy the bottom will take profits, and the losses of taking the opportunity to withdraw from Japan will be borne by the Japanese government, enterprises, and investors, and Japan will also lose hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign exchange

If the situation is allowed to deteriorate, in addition to the bankruptcy and closure of a large number of enterprises, international financial capital will take the opportunity to acquire high-quality Japanese enterprises and complete the transformation of capital industry, and in the end Japan will be left with an empty shell The losses will still be borne by the Japanese government, enterprises, and people, and tens of thousands of unemployed people will collapse the Japanese social system and lead to social turmoil

To save is to die, and not to save is also to die

It's not that there is no solution, it's just that Ozawa doesn't have the right to decide

As far as the terminally ill Japanese economy is concerned, it is necessary to take drastic medicine, and it is necessary to take medicine as soon as possible, and only by bailing out the market as soon as possible can we stop the stock market from continuing to fall, stabilize the financial market before the situation deteriorates to the point of no return, eliminate some weak and small enterprises, leave behind the essence of the Japanese economy, and create opportunities for future recovery

To do so, it takes the courage of a strong man to break his arm

In the evening, Ozawa came to Tachikawa and found Hatoyama

At this time, another storm is forming in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea

Under the cover of warships and helicopters, the ships carrying engineering equipment, materials, and construction personnel slowly sailed towards the Diaoyu Islands, and the East China Sea Fleet, which was tasked with intercepting them, slaughtered them violently

The two sides were tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke

Damn it*
