Chapter 27: The Vanished Decade (2)

  "Perhaps I shouldn't say it this way, to be precise, what I want is for you to help me split the Democratic Party!"

  In 1955, after the Liberal Party and Democratic Party merged into the Liberal Democratic Party, it dominated Japanese politics.

  Mitsui Aiko quietly picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea. "Ms. Nakamura really loves to joke around."

  Tanaka Nana also picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea, "Alright! Aiko-san, let's just say I was joking, nothing was said!"

  The two women started drinking tea quietly again!

  As stable as Mount Tai!

  Completely still!

  The two guys looked at each other with a smile on their faces, and their eyes sparkled with dazzling light.

  Here is the translation:

  He's here again! Jerry sat on the side, looking very depressed, with his head tilted to one side, watching the two women continue to fight!

  After a long while, Mitsui Aiko finally put down her teacup. "The tea is finished too, isn't it time for Miss Nakano to take her leave?"

  Tanaka Nana also smiled and said, "Hehe, that's right! We've finished our tea too! Jerry, let's go!"

  Then she reached out and pulled Jerry up, "Well, thank you very much for the tea, Miss Ai, goodbye!"

  Bang!

  After Tanaka Nana left and closed the door, Mitsui Aiko slammed the teacup in her hand against the door!

  How hateful!

  Mitsui Aiko smashed a teacup and kicked off her wooden clogs with one foot, then fell to the ground and started rolling around in frustration!

  This woman... this woman...

  The door opened again at this time!

  "Don't you know that you need to knock on the door when entering?"

  Mitsui Aiko, who was rolling on the ground, thought it was Fujimoto Genpachi who came in and shouted angrily.

  "I'm really sorry, Aiko-san"

  But the one who answered her was Tanaka Nana!

  Just as Mitsui Aiko was surprised, the door closed again.

  Mitsui Aiko has now somewhat lost her composure, as her awkwardness has completely fallen into Tanaka Nana's eyes!

  The doorbell rang!

  "Please come in!"

  Mitsui Aiko's face is bright red now!

  "It's like this, Aiko-san. About my previous proposal, you don't have to give me an answer for now! This is some relevant information I've got! If after reading it you still can't think of anything, then let's just forget what I said earlier."

  Tanaka Nana didn't even have time to enjoy Mitsui Aiko's predicament before Jerryra took her away.

  "Jerry, why are you pulling me?"

  "Pulling you along. Of course, it's to prevent the war from expanding further?"

  "War? But this isn't what you told me to do!"

  "Tore off her disguise, had to leave some room for her! What if that woman suddenly went crazy? She's just as stubborn as you!"

  "Who has it?!"

  Jerry hugged his head and lazily replied to Tanaka Nana's coquettish question, then got into the Mercedes-Benz.

  Mitsui Aiko has no more heart to continue rolling on the ground!

  If that woman still had a bit of conscience and came back to open the door!

  Damn woman!

  She grabbed the bulging file bag on the table and slammed it to the ground. Then she jumped up, fiercely stomping on it with all her might, only calming down after a long while.

  As time slowly passed, she continued to stare at the damaged file bag on the ground that had been trampled by her. Mitsui Aiko's curiosity was finally piqued.

  "If after you've read it and still have no idea, then just pretend I never said anything before."

  Is this woman really so self-righteous?

  What makes her think that just one document can change my mind!

  Is it intended to put more pressure on the House of Representatives election?

  Delusion!

  However, when Mitsui Aiko opened that file bag, she found out. She was wrong in a big way!

  With just the information in the file bag, Tanaka Kanna can completely destroy the Liberal Democratic Party!

  One of the documents in the envelope is evidence of bribery against Liberal Democratic Party Representative ABE Bumpei.

  Who is Abe Fumio? He is the Secretary General of the Liberal Democratic Party's Miyazawa faction and is the most trusted assistant to Miyazawa Kiichi, who aims to run for Prime Minister of Japan! Moreover, in this document, Abe Fumio also gave 110 million yen to the current Prime Minister Suzuki Zenko. The Chief Cabinet Secretary, Koichi Hamada, and the member of the House of Representatives, Iwai Takeru, are also involved!

  If this information only lifts a corner of the Liberal Democratic Party's corruption, then another piece of evidence about LDP's Takeshita faction leader Kanemaru Shin's bribery is a heavy bombshell! This person, known as "Prime Minister maker" and "Cabinet controller", has almost decisive say in personnel arrangements within the Cabinet and the party. Once he falls into a bribery scandal, the result of the Liberal Democratic Party in the 1990 general election will be unpredictable (Takeshita faction was the largest faction within LDP at that time, it can be said that Takeshita faction is equal to LDP)!

  How did that woman get these two documents?

  What is she doing this for?

  Mitsui Aiko sat down on the ground in a daze.

  Was she really trying to win herself over?

  After the Recruit Cosmos bribery case, Takeshita's credibility within the LDP plummeted, although he did not end up in prison. However, wanting to regain his dominance within the LDP was completely impossible! The current Takeshita has adopted a policy of keeping a low profile under the guidance of Mitsui Aiko.

  He must wait until an appropriate time.

  If this woman means what I think she does, if these documents are genuine...

  Mitsui Aiko picked up the phone.

  The Mercedes-Benz car is running slowly on the road.

  "Jerry, I don't understand. With those materials, we can definitely win the election. Why must we find help from Mitsui Aiko?"

  "That's right, with that information we can win this election! However, just winning one election doesn't mean anything. With a powerful opposition party like the Democratic Party around, even if the three major parties take power and implement new policies, we will still face many obstacles in the initial stages. But if this powerful opposition party were to have internal conflicts and disintegrate into several small parties, wouldn't that be more beneficial for the three major parties? Moreover, uniting all forces that can be united is the ultimate goal of our ruling coalition! We need to maximize our interests while ensuring zero risks! In this regard, you are no match for Ms. Toga and Mr. Tetsu!"

  "But aren't you afraid of Mitsui Aiko doing something else?"

  "She wouldn't be Mitsui Aiko if she didn't have other tricks up her sleeve! Don't worry, these moves of hers will definitely become our advantage! If I'm not mistaken, Takei Tōru should be leaving the LDP with his loyal followers soon, or rather, the Takei faction! At least, he'll distance himself from Kanemaru Shin. As for Miyazawa Kiichi, I have no idea what Mitsui Aiko will do! The Recruit scandal isn't over yet! After the old guard of the LDP steps down, it'll take at least four or five years for those young politicians to mature. So, if the LDP splits internally, that would be a huge advantage for us! Not to mention, don't we have an even bigger piece of evidence in our hands?"

  "More evidence of guilt? You're referring to Kimura Shin's tax evasion charges!"

  "Not a single mistake! I don't believe the 7 billion yen tax evasion evidence can't bring down the entire Liberal Democratic Party! What we're doing now is just giving Mitsui Aiko a signal, and with her IQ, I think she won't let go of this opportunity! Cooperation? It's just a lure."

  "Matchmaker? It's not that simple, is it? Jerry, others are driving wolves and swallowing tigers, while you're inviting wolves into the house."

  Jerry rubbed his nose, "Wrong, Cai Cai Zi, this move is actually called catching a turtle in a jar!"
