Beiyang reactionaries

Looking straight at Kataoka Naoto, she couldn't believe it.The cabinet asked the Bank of Japan to provide special financing of [-] million yen in order to rescue the Bank of Taiwan.This is a very necessary matter, how could the Privy Council veto this proposal so well.So he asked in confusion, "Who, who vetoed our special financing plan. Those bastards in the Privy Council, who dares to veto it?"

"Prime Minister, it's Miyoji Ito, Kiichiro Hiranuma, and the others."

"Damn."

Wakatsuki Reijiro was furious.

What is the Privy Council.The so-called Privy Council is the emperor's advisory body, and it usually has no sense of presence and power.But they have one power, and that is to introduce laws and interpret laws.

They usually don't seem to have much power and role, but when their power is really used, the constraints on the cabinet are still great.

The special financing bill introduced by the cabinet this time is to save the Bank of Taiwan.But this group of damn bastards used their power to deny this matter.

In fact, the contradiction between the cabinet and the Privy Council has a long history.

The current rulers of the Privy Council are Miyoji Ito and Kiichiro Hiranuma. In particular, Miyoji Ito, as the speaker of the Privy Council, is highly valued by the emperor.As the secretary of Hirobumi Ito in his early years, Miyoji Ito was powerful in the Japanese political and business circles, and had a close relationship with the Mitsubishi chaebol.

Many of the bigwigs in the Privy Council were behind-the-scenes bigwigs who strongly supported the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War.So they all support active diplomacy. To put it bluntly, they support offense and expansion.But Kato Takaaki's cabinet started, and the Japanese cabinet chose a path of coordinating diplomacy.

Strategies to improve relations with Europe, the United States, China and the Soviet Union, reduce military spending, and abolish the army.This made the bigwigs in the Privy Council very dissatisfied, and this was the first time they expressed such a strong stance.

Express their dissatisfaction with the cabinet.

"What about the specific situation?"

"19 to 11, rejected our special financing plan."

"There's no room for redemption?"

"Unless the Privy Council changes. Or, maybe you can try with Tanaka-sama (Tanaka Yoshiichi). If Tanaka-sama comes forward to talk to the Privy Council, maybe the Privy Council can change this decision."

"Tanaka-kun?"

Reijiro Wakatsuki was silent for a while.

Some were dumbfounded.

Ask Tanaka Yoshiichi for help?It was so funny.But he still thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Tanaka Yoshiichi."

…………

"Tanaka-kun, you also know about the Suzuki shop."

"Yes."

Yoshihide Tanaka nodded.

The bankruptcy of the Suzuki chaebol is a big event in Japan today, and everyone knows about it.For Tanaka Yoshiichi, who aspires to be the prime minister of the cabinet, he is of course aware of such things.

"Tanaka-kun, the Suzuki store owes the Bank of Taiwan nearly [-] million yen. So many bad debts have already brought down the Bank of Taiwan. Governor Izawa asked the cabinet for help. If we don't hurry up and find a way, the Bank of Taiwan will also die within a few days. Bankruptcy will follow. Mr. Tanaka, you should understand the fragility of our country’s financial market. Rumors have long been flying in the sky. The payment delayed by the earthquake is about to expire, and there are currently hundreds of millions of bad debts in disaster relief loans. If it is reported at this time that the Bank of Taiwan will go bankrupt , Many of our banks are unable to hold on. Once a run occurs, more than half of the banks will go bankrupt at that time. This will lead to a major financial collapse and a major economic collapse in our country."

Reijiro Wakatsuki lowered his posture.

Because this time Wakatsuki Reijiro asked Tanaka Yoshiichi.Tanaka Yoshiichi found out, so he was not in a hurry and did not speak.Instead, he listened carefully to Reijiro Wakatsuki's words.

Reijiro Wakatsuki saw Tanaka Yoshikazu's indifferent expression, but he didn't respond.Therefore, he continued: "The cabinet has passed the special financing bill, requiring the Bank of Japan to provide [-] million yen in special financing to support the Bank of Taiwan. Let the Bank of Taiwan overcome the current difficulties and stabilize Taiwan's finance. Mr. Tanaka, what do you think What about Cabinet's special funding bill?"

"can."

Yoshihide Tanaka nodded.

Very simple to speak.Wakatsuki Reijiro was a little angry at Tanaka Yoshiichi's reaction.What I am doing now is for the great Japanese Empire, but it is not for my own benefit at all.But at such an important moment, these people didn't help themselves and didn't say anything, they were still dragging their feet behind their backs.The Privy Council rejected the cabinet's bill this time, and Reijiro Wakatsuki believed that Yoshiichi Tanaka must have written it.However, he clearly knew that he had something to do with Yoshiichi Tanaka, but Reijiro Wakatsuki still held his temper and said, "Tanaka-kun, but this special financing bill was rejected by the Privy Council by 19 to 11."

"Oh."

Tanaka Yoshiichi gave a simple "Oh".

The Privy Council vetoed the cabinet bill, and Yoshihide Tanaka knew it early on.

"Tanaka-kun, the Bank of Taiwan must be rescued. To save the Bank of Taiwan is to save the empire's finances. You are more familiar with the Privy Council. Can you do the work of the Privy Council and let them pass a special financing bill."

"call--"

Tanaka Yoshiichi did not comment.

Instead, he gently blew on the tea in front of him and drank it slowly.Seeing Yoshiichi Tanaka like this, Reijiro Wakatsuki sighed in his heart and said, "Tanaka-kun, as long as the Privy Council passes the special financing bill, then I will have a deeper consideration."

Hearing Reijiro Wakatsuki's words, Yoshiichi Tanaka looked up at Reijiro Wakatsuki.

Because Tanaka Yoshiichi understood what Wakatsuki Reijiro meant.Wakatsuki Reijiro said that he has "deeper considerations", and if he hides it, he will choose to resign.Wakatsuki Reijiro chooses to resign, which means that the Wakatsuki Reijiro cabinet will end.

According to the current political situation in Japan, once Reijiro Wakatsuki chooses to resign, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet will be succeeded by the second largest party in the parliament, Seiyukai.And Yoshiichi Tanaka is the current president of Japan's Political Friends Association, which means he can take over as the prime minister of the cabinet.Reijiro Wakatsuki is using the position of prime minister of the cabinet, hoping that Yoshiichi Tanaka will support him.

But Tanaka Yoshiichi quickly lowered his head.

No answer.

Wakatsuki Reijiro saw that Tanaka Yoshiichi didn't answer, and he was not interested in the proposal he proposed, which made him very angry.But he still said: "Mr. Tanaka, the empire's finances cannot be messed up. For the stability of the empire, for the future of the empire, you can't stand by and watch."

"Ha ha."

It was only at this time that Tanaka Yoshiichi put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Prime Minister, you think highly of me. Those members of the Privy Council are all close ministers of His Majesty the Emperor and our seniors. How can I say All I can say is sorry that the Privy Council rejected the Special Financing Bill."

"Tanaka-kun, are you really unwilling to help?"

"Excuse me for being helpless."

Wakatsuki Reijiro stared closely at Tanaka Yoshiichi. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Tanaka-kun, what the empire needs is stability. If you form a cabinet, I hope you will not be influenced by those radical young people."

"Thank you for your advice."

Yoshiichi Tanaka is now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

As long as there is a problem with the Bank of Taiwan, as long as there is a slight financial problem in Japan, the Wakatsuki Reijiro cabinet will definitely collapse.At that time, Tanaka Yoshiichi will be able to have the power to form a cabinet without bloodshed.

Therefore, Tanaka Yoshiichi did not accept the political conditions proposed by Wakatsuki Reijiro just now.Politicians are the most fickle. Although Reijiro Wakatsuki said he would resign, if the current problem is solved, who knows if he will keep his promise.So Yoshiichi Tanaka will not support Reijiro Wakatsuki at this time.The meeting between Wakatsuki Reijiro and Tanaka Yoshiichi ends badly.

Wakatsuki Reijiro is really helpless right now.

What should we do now?

Once the economy is in turmoil, I must be responsible, and I must resign.But Reijiro Wakatsuki is more worried now than about his own resignation, but about the Japanese economy.

Yoshiichi Tanaka and these lunatics, where are they going to bring Japan?Where is Japan's future?
