"Hadi Empire 1945 New ( Find the latest chapter!

After playing golf with Major General Williams, Hardy came to Washington to visit President Johnson.

Although Johnson was very busy, he arranged a special time for Hardy to have dinner at the White House, and then the two communicated in the office for a long time.

"Hadi, I heard that you have made a lot of investments in Hong Kong. Do you want to talk to me about Hong Kong?" Johnson asked.

Hardy shook his head.

"No, I want to talk about Japan with the President."

Johnson was slightly surprised.

He knows that Hardy has made a lot of investments in Hong Kong recently. Because of the war in the north, he came to his side for fear of investment failure, hoping that the government would put pressure on his investment. He didn't expect Hardy to talk about Hong Kong, but about Japan.

"What happened to Japan?" Johnson asked.

"On my way back from Hong Kong, I passed by Japan and got off the plane to take a look. At the same time, I read some information. After the implementation of the Dodge Plan, although inflation was curbed there, it also caused the Japanese economy to severely decline again." Hardy Said.

Johnson smiled faintly and said: "Our policy towards Japan is to exercise a high degree of political, economic, and military control. This is in the interests of the United States."

Hardy smiled, "I'm not pleading for Japan. You know I used to fight with the Japanese on the battlefield, but I don’t have a good impression of them. What I think of is that the current method of controlling the Japanese economy is just controlling and fighting. , Maybe there can be better and more far-reaching methods."

"Oh, tell me something?"

"From the Marshall Plan, I thought about whether Japan could also implement an economic plan to acquire Japanese industries and control their industrial economy in our hands."

"If there are local companies that rise, we will do our best to suppress them and firmly control the entire economy in our hands. Even if they recover in the future, they will not become strong."

Hardy said his thoughts.

"Do you think you can control it?" Johnson asked.

"Hehe, it's definitely not possible to rely on the Hardy Group or the California Consortium alone, so I plan to contact Rockefeller, Morgan, and other consortiums to persuade them to act together. Do you think that with such power, you can't control the Japanese economy?" Hardy road.

"Do you want to get an inspection group?"

"Yes, I plan to set up a Japanese economic investigation mission, but I hope that you will get the government's approval. After all, Japan is a defeated country, and various investments need to be approved by the government, and the possible plans are not small." Hardy said.

President Johnson thought for a while.

"Hadi, I think your proposal is okay. It is in line with the government's policy on Japan. I have a proposal. The name of the delegation is a bit weak. It's better to get an "economic steering group"." Johnson said.

"'Economic Guidance Group', is there any difference?" Hardy asked.

"The government has stopped providing economic assistance to Japan. Japan's life is really difficult. The Japanese government has sent many requests for continued assistance. I rejected all their requests."

"Now you mentioned the future economic control plan for Japan. I think it is feasible. On the one hand, it can control the Japanese economy. On the other hand, it can allow them to support themselves and obtain food through production without always asking for assistance."

"The economic investigation mission is of an investment nature, and the economic guidance mission is semi-official. I can give you the status of a'Japan Economic Guidance Special Envoy' to guide the Japanese economy, which makes it more convenient for you to act."

Hardy finally understood.

The "Special Envoy for the Economic Guidance of Japan", on behalf of the U.S. government, guides the Japanese economy. Isn't this the overlord of Japan's economy?

Although not as good as MacArthur, the military and political emperor, it is also sufficient in Japan.

Hardy was overjoyed.

There was an urge to hug Johnson and kiss him.

At the beginning, Hardy tried his best to help Johnson, but now the rewards are gradually showing.

It doesn't matter if Hardy is an official or not. The main reason is that with this status, he can be more comfortable when he acts in Japan.

In fact, Johnson didn't care much about Japan. Japan was defeated and disbanded. The U.S. stationed the army. The Emperor has become a mascot. With a series of policies, Japan has now been severely castrated.

At this time, Japan's geopolitics is not yet prominent, and it will not become an oriental bridgehead until next year.

And gradually loosened restrictions on Japan.

"Your Excellency, I have one more thing." Hardy said.

"what's up?"

"According to the regulations after the war, the government confiscated many original military enterprises in Japan, including factories and machinery. I checked and many of them were sealed up there. This situation is too wasteful. Does the government plan to sell?" Hardy asked. .

Johnson looked at Hardy and said with a smile: "If you want to, you can sell it to you, but there are a lot of those things."

"Some scraps, I think the price can be lower." Hardy said.

Johnson chuckled, "You are now Japan's economic envoy, so leave the handling of those supplies to you. After all, it is an economic problem."

Hardy and President Johnson chatted a lot of details, and they talked until very late before Hardy left.

......

The next day.

The Washington Post published a modest report: "In view of Japan's severe economic recession, President Johnson, after repeated requests from the Japanese government, is preparing to form a'Japan Economic Guidance Group' to go to Japan to guide economic issues."

"President Johnson temporarily appointed Mr. Jon Hardy, chairman of the Hardy Group, as the special economic guidance envoy of the Japan Economic Guidance Corps."

The President of the United States is the commander-in-chief of the three services and the head of government. He can directly appoint officials within the White House, cabinet members, and ambassadors to various countries.

The so-called special envoy, that is, the special envoy of the president, is strictly speaking a White House official, and the president can directly announce it.

Lao Te appointed his daughter as an adviser to the president, and later appointed his son-in-law as a security adviser. Many people wondered whether this is nepotism. In fact, this is the case in the United States.

Many people know the relationship between Hardy and President Johnson. As the boss of a group company, there is nothing wrong with being a special envoy for economic guidance.

Besides, it is still Japan.

No one in the United States pays attention to Japan at all.

All he knows is that he was a defeated country that lost an atomic bomb by the United States, and his life should be miserable, otherwise he would not need a special economic guidance envoy.

San Francisco.

Giannini Manor.

After opening the newspaper, Janini saw the appointment report, and he was taken aback. He knew that Hardy was going to get a Japanese economic investigation group, but he did not expect to go to the White House to get a special envoy for the economic guidance group.

But thinking about this identity, it seems to be more useful than an inspection group.

Giannini smiled. This is the benefit of supporting politicians. When you want to do something, you can do it.

"Ring Ling Ling~!"

The phone rang in the living room of Janini Manor.

It was the other partner of the California consortium who called and asked if Janini knew about Hardy's job as Japan's economic envoy.

Giannini smiled and said, "Before Hardy went to Washington, he made a special visit to me. He felt that the Japanese side would develop in the future and planned to invest."

"I have agreed to the consortium to follow up together. Don't worry. Before he goes to Japan, he will definitely call everyone. If there is a company in the consortium who wants to invest in Japan, you can follow it together." Janini said.

"It turned out to be so, is there any money in Japan?" the partner asked.

"Hadi feels there is money to be made."

The person on the other side of the phone pondered for a few seconds, "Hadi's investments always have an unconventional taste, but so far he seems to have not failed. I think I can trust him."

......

Not only Janini saw Hardy’s appointment report, but David Rockefeller also saw it. Now the European delegation has already ended, and David returned to New York.

Today, David was a little surprised about Hardy's appointment in the newspaper.

How did this Hardy suddenly become Japan's economic envoy? Does he have ideas about Japan again?

David has always been very curious about Hardy's investment.

Including the last investment in HSBC.

He is also experimental in nature. Recently, the situation in that eastern country has changed drastically. David has always been concerned about it. After all, he has invested tens of millions of dollars.

I really want to talk to Hardy.

He picked up the phone and called the Hardy Group in Los Angeles and asked them to help contact Hardy. They said that David Rockefeller was looking for him. The staff of the Hardy Group didn't dare to neglect, and quickly contacted Hardy in Washington.

not long time.

The telephone in David's office rang.

Hardy's voice came from inside.

"David, why do you remember calling me?" Hardy smiled.

"I have always wanted to talk to you and listen to your views on Hong Kong. Because of the current situation there, I am very worried that that investment will be lost. And I read the newspaper today. You were appointed by President Johnson as the Japanese economy. Envoy, what's going on?" David said.

"I'm going to New York, and when we get to New York, we will meet and talk in detail." Hardy said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in New York." David said.

......

At this moment, the Japanese ambassador is coming to the hotel where Hardy is staying in Washington. The embassy received a notice in the morning that Hardy was appointed as Japan’s special economic envoy and will go to Japan soon to give economic guidance to Japan and let the embassy notify the Japanese side. , Please do a good job of reception at that time.

Now the Japanese economy is on the verge of collapse.

The Japanese government has been seeking help from the US government but the Johnson government is obviously not in the mood to continue to help Japan.

Suddenly, a special Japanese economic envoy was appointed to guide economic affairs in Japan. The Japanese side felt the light had appeared, and immediately notified the Japanese side by telegram. After receiving a call back from the Japanese side, the ambassador rushed to meet Hardy.

The Ambassador of Hardy knows naturally.

A well-known American billionaire with billions of dollars in assets, dozens of industries under his name, one of the California consortium partners, and the biggest supporter of Johnson's presidential election.

He owns the Global Times and ABC TV, and is now the largest media tycoon in the United States. He was one of the members of the Marshall Plan European delegation last time and made large investments in European countries. Whether it is his actual status or official special envoy status, it is enough Let the Japanese government dare not neglect.

The secretary informed Hardy that the Japanese ambassador to the United States was visiting, and Hardy put down the newspaper and let the other party in.
