Volume 3 The Stormy Waves of the East China Sea Chapter 83 A two-pronged approach

At this time, no one doubted that China and Japan would be on the battlefield from the vast sea): the field of fusion

On the evening of 727, groundless speculation about China's secret attack on Japan's financial market before the outbreak of the conflict in the East China Sea and triggering Japan's financial crisis appeared in major news media

Overnight, the dawn of peace dimmed again

Although all countries in the world do not recognize that "financial war" is an inter-state conflict, Western countries that believe in the philosophy of free market economics often regard "financial war" as a non-state private capital operation, and there are huge differences in the definition of "financial war" among various countries, no one doubts that the "financial war" between China and Japan will eventually turn into a "military conflict" and wipe out the results of the negotiations that have just been achieved

Since it is called "war", there is strategy and tactics

In what ways will China defend itself against Japan's financial attacks, and by what means will Japan strike at China's financial markets?

While the outside world is arguing with different opinions, the three giants of Japanese politics have serious differences on this issue

Looking at the excited Fukuda and the unspeakable Heiji Kano, Hatoyama Kenjiro had a very ridiculous feeling, and in just two days, the thinking of Fukuda and Heiji Kano has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and at this time, Fukuda Tawen is more like the director general of the right-wing party coalition, and Heiji Kano is like the leader of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party

"In any case, we shouldn't give up halfway"

"Only by knowing how to advance and retreat can we know the gains and losses, and retreating is not cowardice, but preparing for the next attack"

"At this point, retreating can only cause us heavy losses, how can we launch the next attack?"

"If you don't know the difficulties and retreat blindly, you will only be wiped out"

"Who can decide the winner until the end? If we don't give it our all, we're sure to fail! ”

"Knowing that we can't win and still insisting on it will only make us lose more completely"

……

Listening to the two arguing, Hatoyama Ryjiro couldn't help but sigh secretly

Fukuda Duowen has never been so decisive and positive as today, and the reason behind it is not simple, because at this time, Fukuda Duowen is not only speaking for himself, but also for the local consortium behind him

Unlike the Democratic Party of Japan, which is based on the urban plebeian class without political bias, the Liberal Democratic Party, which has been entrenched in Japanese politics for more than 50 years and represents the post-war era, is based on the history of the rise and fall of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan's major > and industry as the history of the rise and fall of the Japanese foundations, and the two are not simply allies, but symbiotics

From the early 70s to the late 80s of the 20th century, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Nippon Foundation pushed Japan to its peak

At that time, even the United States was "impressed" by Japan, which had made world-renowned economic achievements, shouted the slogan of "acquiring the United States." The Japanese consortium, which had been in full bloom, bought the "Rockefeller Center," which symbolized the prosperity, dreams, and struggles of the United States, and planted the Japanese flag in the heart of the American economy

The good times did not last long, and the Red Empire collapsed, and the resulting aftershocks also pushed Japan off the altar

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is declining, and so is the Nippon Foundation

While Hatoyama was pinning his hopes for the revitalization of Japan and the Democratic Party of Japan on the Nippon Foundation, Fukuda Tamon was also taking advantage of the opportunity in front of him

If the Japanese consortium can play a key role in the Sino-Japanese conflict and bring down China's economy, the LDP will be the biggest beneficiary

With this in mind, Fukuda not only actively supported Hatoyama Ryojiro's "war policy", but also did his best to mobilize the Japanese consortium to make due contributions to the Yamato nation and the emperor

Now, the Nippon Foundation has encountered frantic resistance from China, and the flames on the financial battlefield are intensifying

According to Fukuda Tawen, the three major consortia of Mitsubishi, Zhuyou, and Bucheon have invested $850 billion in China's financial market, and the other 14 small and medium-sized consortia have also invested $4,500

Although Hatoyama thinks Fukuda is bragging, the loss of the Japanese consortium must be more than $400 billion

Retreating at this time is tantamount to cutting off an arm

Whether it is for the interests of the Japanese consortium or the Liberal Democratic Party, Fukuda has no choice but to agitate for more investment and continue to attack China's financial market

Staying engaged is not as simple as saying a word

The consortium has done its best, not only smashing into WB's loans, but also using hundreds of billions of dollars of self-raised funds, which is almost impossible for the consortium to continue to invest

It is also not practical to obtain a mortgage from a foreign bank, because the high-quality enterprises in the hands of the consortium have already been mortgaged to WB

The only way is for the cabinet government to take the lead in adjusting monetary policy and allowing the central bank to issue more money

A large-scale increase in the issuance of the yen will inevitably lead to a rapid depreciation of the yen, which will cause the Japanese financial crisis to rise again after a slight subsidence, and have a disastrous impact on the Japanese economy

Hatoyama Ryojiro understood this truth and had to suspect that Fukuda had other plans

Not supporting Fukuda Tawen does not mean agreeing with Heiji Kano

Shikano Hei Eryi, who has always held extreme political views, is abnormal, and he was the first to retreat, and the deep-seated reasons behind it are not simple, because

If Heiji Kano, a right-wing faction, wants to hold on to power, he will have to suppress the discrediting associations and ensure the dominance of the center-right forces, mainly Japanese, who are dissatisfied with the current social system, in the coalition of right-wing parties

Extreme right-wing associations are a double-edged sword, both to stir up nationalist sentiment and to destroy the Yamato nation

Heiji Kano is a politician, not an ultra-nationalist, and the program of the right-wing political coalition is to "build an independent, strong, prosperous, and loyal empire of Japan." In order to achieve political power, in addition to being loyal to the emperor, it is necessary to strengthen the centralized political system, pursue an independent foreign policy, build an armed force that is both offensive and defensive, and build a prosperous and strong national economy

The ultra-nationalism of the faith of the extreme right-wing community does not help in any way to realize the ideals of a coalition of right-wing parties

If Japan's economy collapses, social turmoil, and political turmoil, the influence of extreme right-wing organizations will be greatly enhanced, and extreme right-wing forces will also become the leading force of the right-wing political party coalition

Unless Heiji Kano is a militarist who is like a fake, he will definitely not want to see such an outcome

The conflict between China and Japan has given the ultra-right-wing forces a broader space for survival, and various voices advocating ultra-nationalist ideas have also emerged in Japan

As a former cabinet minister, Heiji Shikano is well aware of the consequences of indulging in extremist ideologies

It is not difficult to understand that when Fukuda was preaching the "theory of decisive financial battle," Heiji Kano resolutely advocated the stabilization of domestic finance

Heiji Shikano's performance illustrates another problem, namely that right-wing politicians are also politicians, and there are times when they are timid

As for Heiji Kano's viewpoint, Hatoyama Ryojiro is even more afraid to agree with the right-wing political party coalition based on realistic goals is relatively short-sighted, and Heiji Kano is no exceptionIf he gives up attacking China's financial market, the follow-up international hot money will not only not take advantage of Japan's fire, but will also fight back, pour into Japan again, loot the Japanese financial market for the second time, and completely destroy the Japanese economy!

Is there a compromise between the two extremes?

Hatoyama Ryojiro really doesn't know much about economics, and the solutions he can think of have basically nothing to do with the economy

Seeing that the two of them were fighting with red faces, Hatoyama Ryojiro coughed dryly

Fukuda Tawen and Shikano Heiji both looked like they were puffed up and flattened, as if they wanted to eat each other alive

"Perhaps, we should look at the problem from a different angle" Hatoyama Ryojiro's tone was very calm, "Fukuda-kun is right, the financial war is also a war, and it is our main war with China, if we can't defeat China, we will never be able to come out As for the issuance of currency, I will carefully consider Kano-kun's words are also reasonable, only by being strong ourselves, we can defeat the enemy In order to stabilize the domestic market, the cabinet will make more efforts, and in addition, we can't just focus on the financial battlefield"

"Hatoyama-kun, what do you mean?" Fukuda Tawen also calmed down

"It's important to defeat Shina, but it's even more important to ensure your own stability, and I'm sure Hatoyama-kun will be able to come up with a solution that satisfies us all," Heiji Kano also restrained his anger

"To deal with China, we should find answers from our own experience," Hatoyama Keijiro paused slightly, and said, "There are many reasons why we suffered a crushing defeat in the East China Sea War, and I think that the financial crisis that broke out at the same time was one of the most important factors, and the financial crisis made us exhausted and had to fight on two fronts, even if China had nothing to do with our financial crisis, they also took advantage of this favorable opportunity."

Fukuda Tawen and Shikano Heiji nodded their heads in agreement, agreeing with Hatoyama Ryojiro's opinion

"Therefore, I think it should be a two-pronged approach," Hatoyama said with a cold smile, "It also makes Shina tired and has to fight on two fronts, and as long as the war starts again, the Shina financial market will definitely be impacted, and in order to stabilize the financial market, Shina will change the current policy and introduce more powerful rescue measures."

We took the opportunity to expand investment and destroy China's financial and economic situation in one fell swoop! ”

"You mean, fighting the Chinese army again?"

"It's also a good idea, at least much better than indiscriminate currency issuance."

Fukuda thought for a while, then nodded, not arguing with Shikano Heiji

"If the two of you don't object, I'll make a deployment immediately" Hatoyama Ryantaro didn't say much, "We have to act as quickly as possible, and fight the financial battlefield that is caught off guard, and we have to ask Fukuda-kun for domestic issues, and we have to ask Kano-kun to take care of it."

The two immediately agreed, and the discussion ended

After sending the two away, Hatoyama asked the secretary to bring in Kentaro Miyamoto, who had been waiting for an interview

The war started again, Fukuda Tawen and Shikano Heiji lost their usefulness, and it was time to get rid of these two rivals

Damn it*

The little devil got carried away, the grasshopper after the autumn couldn't jump a few times, everyone smash it, smash the monthly pass! (To be continued)
