Chapter 422.
Masayoshi Kishimoto understood that Adachi Ward had the highest delinquency rate among the twenty-three wards in Tokyo. Not only that, it was more than ten times higher than the district that ranked second.
From this, it was clear that there were a lot of assholes in Adachi Ward. Kazuhiko Inoue’s ability to dominate the pachinko industry in the Adachi district and establish a firm foothold was not only due to his ancestry, but mainly due to his own real skills.
If he didn’t have some real skills, he would not have been able to control the existing situation and would have been forced to give up his position long ago. There is a saying in the Japanese underworld that one who has not killed or been in jail is worthy of being called a hooligan.
This kind of person is at best a punk. As far as Russian soccer hooligans are concerned, there are still prerequisites, not only have the fighting ability, can fight, but also have to develop six-pack abdominal muscles.
Within three strokes can not put down each other, that can also be called fighting? Surely not in the playground? A punch down, the person directly can be killed, that is bullish. A punch down, the person directly hit shock, but also quite good.
A punch that knocks a person out of blood is the most basic. If a punch goes down and nothing happens, at most a swollen nose, then it’s best to go to the gym and strengthen your strength for another year.
School violence and street fighting are not on the same level at all. The former is not prone to kill people, while the latter is very prone to kill people.
Some of the so-called school bullies are confined to the middle of the schoolyard, and have yet to actually take the field against a real hooligan, and would be scared silly just by looking at them. Hooligans are not invincible in Japan.
Only, the Japanese government belongs to dare to recognize the existence of this kind of objective social dark phenomenon, after all, any country. Where there is light, there are bound to be shadows.
Nowadays, why doesn’t anyone dare to find fault with Justice Kishimoto? Even Inoue Kazuhiko has to follow his command, because he is a Zaibatsu.
This head of Masayoshi Kishimoto is really worth too much. If anyone really kills him? Then, there will be red-hot (bounty) retaliation. At that time, people for the unit of billions of dollars is going to fall into the madness.
The best proof that people die for money and birds die for food is that, just like the human nature in “Shield of Straw”, even the bad guy’s only friend starts to kill him after a billion yen bounty has been placed on him.
Scared, he turns himself in and goes to the police station, thinking he’ll be safe. In fact, there are police officers who want to kill him.
When he went to the hospital, the nurses tried to kill him. When a large number of police force escorted him to transfer, there are still policemen who want to kill him. Various assassins, yakuza, along with the good guys were out to kill him.
At this time, Natsume Ryosuke and Yamada Mirai were appeared together in front of Kishimoto Masayoshi. Natsume Ryosuke saw that Yamada Mirai personally went to the propaganda department to inform himself that the chairman was invited, naturally, he did not dare to be slow.
If it was a normal matter, an internal phone call would have sufficed. The fact that the chairman’s secretary-chief had personally come to say so was a sign of the importance of the matter.
“Have you and Mizushima Makoto finalized everything?” Kishimoto Masayoshi asked Yamada Mirai first.
“It’s already been finalized, and it’s all being done according to the Chairman’s wishes. Today at 12:00 noon, Ueno Kiraku Senior Japanese Cuisine Pavilion in Taito District.
For that reason, I even personally sent a call to the owner’s wife, asking her to reserve one of the most luxurious private rooms out.” Yamada Mirai said truthfully.
“You make another call to her and ask for an extra private room. At that time, you and Meiling will eat together.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.
Yamada Mirai responded with an “Understood”, but muttered in her mind. She wondered why she had to accompany Sakai Mirei instead of accompanying the Chairman?
“Ryousuke, you should accompany me to have a real interview with Mizushima. It’s also good for you to get an idea of the other party’s actual situation. In fact, things have already been finalized a long time ago.
It’s just that you are needed to perform a necessary matchmaking. Otherwise, Tokyo TV won’t buy Mizushima’s account.
On top of that, all the companies under the Hard Gold Group will also have to make a tie-up. It would be most appropriate to have you, a publicity minister, step in.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
Natsume Ryousuke saw that the chairman was putting in so much effort to help Makoto Mizushima, so he knew that the other party must have come from somewhere, and wouldn’t be a nameless person.
“Understood. Chairman, are you able to tell me some information about this Mizushima Makoto in advance?” Natsume Ryosuke asked without beating around the bush.
“I’m not really sure what kind of situation this person is in. It was only last night that I learned of the existence of such a person.
A man who is entrusted with a job is loyal to a man. Since Mizushima Makoto wants to become a congressman, it would be good to help him out.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a cloudy manner.
Natsume Ryosuke was originally a former government information officer. How could he not know that it wasn’t easy to become a congressman? It was reasonable and sensible for the chairman to find himself to coordinate, and to know how to make the best use of people.
According to the current laws of Japan, just in theory, all Japanese nationals over 18 years of age who have resided in the area of a city, town or village for more than three consecutive months have the right to vote and can be registered as voters.
However, those who have been sentenced to imprisonment or more, or those who have violated the laws relating to elections, voting and national censorship, etc., are excluded. Any citizen who has reached the age of 25 is eligible to be elected as a member of the House of Representatives, and any citizen who has reached the age of 30 is eligible to be elected as a member of the House of Councillors.
Candidacy is achieved by submitting a written application to the Election Commission within the period in which the Election Commission accepts applications for registration of candidates on the basis of a certain number of voters’ recommendations.
Candidates who have already registered as candidates in one electoral district may not register repeatedly in other electoral districts at the same time. Candidates are required to pay a certain amount of election deposit at the time of filing.
In short, just registering to run for election is basically anyone’s game, as long as they don’t have a criminal record or anything. However, to become a candidate, it doesn’t start to get any easier.
That alone is enough campaign money to be staggering. For this reason, it’s natural for people who want to run for Congress to seek the support of the Zaibatsu.
The plutocrats help someone rise to the top as a congressman, whether it’s a senator or a representative, that’s just an agent of the plutocrats.
What the other party has to do, in addition to realizing their own so-called political ambitions, is to be the eyes, ears and mouth of the plutocrats.
So the plutocrats are often able to know in advance what the government will come up with. This, in order to defend their interests, will also drive their agents to submit this or that proposal that is strong for them, as well as to organize the vetoing of proposals that are unfavorable to them.
It is almost impossible for the government to come up with policies that are unfavorable to the plutocrats. Zaibatsu can completely influence the government’s decisions and votes.
Even in the unlikely event that some bill is passed, it will be met with a great deal of resistance to its implementation.
This demonstration will be artificially organized, under the banner of grandeur, shouting grand slogans to carry out a pressure.
