Chapter 340： ：Pull 1 batch and hit 1 batch

Hardy's speech in Japan caused a sensation not only in Japan, but also attracted attention in other places.

America.

After reading the report in the Global Times, President Johnson smiled and said to Mike next to him: "Hadi went to Japan. It seems that his goal is very clear. Do you know how he told me before he left?"

Mike shook his head.

"Hadi said that Japan cannot be a burden, but it cannot be a threat. We can use him as a stepping stone, but we cannot give him the opportunity to stand up."

"Hadi said that to restrict Japan in terms of industrial form and constantly suppress Japan with public opinion, he can have money but not power."

"The first thing he did when he went to Japan was to let the Japanese admit the mistakes of the war and suppress Japan mentally. Hehe, I think he did a very good job. In fact, Hardy is very suitable to be a politician, but he is not very willing. ."

Mike said:

"Hadi and I talked about Japan. He said that he should always be vigilant about that country, because he has fought with the Japanese and seen the madness of the Japanese. Now Japan’s obedience is a helpless compromise. They have a chance to turn over, and the craziness in their bones will reappear again."

"He said that if one day Japan rises and the United States falls, the Japanese will definitely be the first to retaliate against the United States. They will never forget the hatred of the two atomic bombs."

Johnson's face became a bit colder.

He gave the order to drop the atomic bomb. It is estimated that the Japanese must hate him very privately.

Johnson said solemnly:

"So the restriction must continue, and always be vigilant. Whenever I retreat from the position of president, I will also write this entry in the'president's diary' and hand it over to the next president."

......

Hongkong.

Hong Kong Global Times, the front page headline fully reported Hardy's arrival in Japan as an economic guidance envoy.

The Prime Minister of Japan brought all cabinet members and a large number of entrepreneurs to the airport to greet him. The team that Hardy brought was also extremely gorgeous, bringing together the seven major consortia in the United States.

The newspaper highlighted the situation of the seven consortiums and listed dozens of large American companies, all of which are famous. In the end, the total assets controlled by the seven consortia exceed US$200 billion.

200 billion US dollars,

This is such a huge number, and many people feel it is unimaginable.

Photos in the newspaper.

The Japanese Prime Minister bent over and stretched out his hand at Hardy, looking very respectful. Hardy's speech criticized Japan because imperialism and monarchism initiated a war of aggression, which caused Japan's tragic situation today.

Japan should admit its mistakes, break with the two doctrines, and become accepted by the international community before returning to the international community.

On the spot, the Japanese Prime Minister bowed and admitted that it was wrong to start the war. On behalf of Japan, he expressed repentance for the war. This is the first time that Japan has confessed its mistakes and repented in public.

The newspaper stated that Hardy will be the new Japanese'economic czar' after MacArthur, the Japanese'governor'. I don't know what kind of changes it will bring to Japan.

The Hardy Group has a large investment in Hong Kong. Now in Hong Kong, there are almost no people who have never heard of the Hardy Group. When Victor went out to meet with those entrepreneurs, he could clearly feel that Hong Kong people, especially entrepreneurs, treated him The attitude is more respectful.

He knew that this was entirely due to the boss.

......

China.

People's Daily,

This news was published deliberately on the front page.

"Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida bowed and apologized, acknowledging the mistake of launching the war, and expressed repentance on behalf of Japan. This is the first time a Japanese leader has publicly admitted his mistake."

In the report,

He also introduced Hardy, the economic envoy sent by the United States to Japan.

Let many people in the country know the name ‘Hadi’.

.......

At this time, Japan’s new economic czar Jon Hardy is attending the welcome reception held at the Prime Minister’s residence in Japan.

To be honest, the excitement of this cocktail party is far worse than the one held by the British royal family. There are only a bunch of men, except for politicians and businessmen.

In the list,

Hardy saw some familiar names in later generations, such as Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Mitsui, Toyota, Honda... etc.

After Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida gave a welcome speech, he again invited Hardy to give a speech. Hardy took the stage without a smile on his face, but was very serious.

Everyone in the audience felt the pressure from Hardy.

Hardy gave a speech at the airport before, with a smile on his face, all for outsiders. He knew in his heart that he shouldn't be too good to Japanese, especially the Japanese now. Thanks. Now is the time to be majestic.

"I brought three words from President Johnson, I hope you will remember them."

The hearts of the people in the audience trembled.

The standing posture is more standard.

"The first sentence is that in the future, Japan will not be allowed to conduct production and research and development in the military industry. This is a requirement of the Bostan Convention and a requirement of the United Nations."

"The second sentence is that Japan must enter the self-sufficiency stage as soon as possible. Any assistance is limited. The United States has provided assistance to Japan for 4 years and invested more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. It cannot be endless."

"The third sentence is that it is not impossible for Japan to return to the international society, but it must accept the transformation of the United States, including politics, economy, finance, military, and culture. When Japan officially enters the orbit of a civilized world, it means returning to the international community. When it comes to society, then, the United States is willing to support Japan's entry into the United Nations."

If Hardy said these three things, if they were from other countries, they would definitely feel that they would lose their power and humiliate the country and would be extremely humiliating.

But the Japanese reaction was very exciting.

The first two,

Since the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, the United States has been implementing strict control and reform policies against Japan, which is far more cruel than its policies against Germany.

For Germany, after all, there is still a bit of incense.

But it is not so polite to Japan, ready to eliminate it from the root.

It's just that MacArthur didn't give them hope, and Hardy's third point gave them hope for the future.

As long as the transformation is done, freedom can be obtained.

When a person does not know the direction in the dark, his heart will be very scared, but there is a little light in the front, even if it is only an extremely weak point, he will try his best to run towards the light.

In fact, this is a bait released by Hardy, so that they have reason to convince themselves of the future reform of Japan.

In order to regain freedom, become a sovereign state.

All sacrifices are bearable.

As Japan’s economic envoy, everyone knows his relationship with President Johnson. Hardy’s words can be said to be very credible.

So the Japanese are very excited.

Hardy glanced at the people in the audience and continued: "I said at the airport that Japan's future development direction is an ‘export-oriented economy’ and the delegation will focus on supporting civilian production."

"Now that the United States has the world's largest market, it needs a lot of products. The development direction of Japanese companies should target the U.S. market. In a nutshell, what the U.S. needs and what is made in Japan."

"The U.S. military industry and heavy industry are all ranked first in the world. No one can question this. Therefore, it is not wise for Japan to develop these directions. Japan's development direction is first for daily necessities, and second for light industry. kind."

"There are more daily necessities. Clothes, footwear, glass, porcelain, furniture, home appliances, toys, fishing tackle, cameras, film, musical instruments, medicine, cosmetics, etc., have a market for everything related to life."

"The light industry industry includes auto parts, machine parts, electronic parts, precision instruments, construction machinery and equipment, various factory machines, home appliances, etc."

Many people understand in their hearts that Hardy is preparing to build Japan into an industrial base and supporting factory for the United States.

This is definitely good news for the people's livelihood companies in Japan.

Because their current factories are almost completely shut down, if these people's livelihood factories can operate normally, the current predicament can be greatly eased.

"You also know that there are so many companies in Japan that it is impossible to get all of them supported. Our plan is to support some companies, and the rest can develop freely."

Many entrepreneurs feel nervous.

Support part.

The remaining ‘free development’.

Freedom development sounds good, but in fact it means being abandoned.

Of course, they all want to be supported, and they don't want to become those who have been abandoned. In this situation, being abandoned means death.

Now the situation is that everyone is clenching their teeth and insisting, and there is only one last breath. But if similar companies are supported, they will immediately slow down and grab the entire market, and the remaining companies will no longer have the possibility of survival.

Hardy just wants them to feel a sense of crisis.

With a sense of crisis,

It's easy to hold it.

As for those who don't kneel down, it is actually very simple, that is, to support similar enterprises, and the rest will naturally die.

It doesn't matter if you are a big business in the future.

You can die now.

Let Japanese companies generate competition on their own, and cannot form a unified force, so that they can be acquired by them.

Although someone saw Hardy's conspiracy.

But there is no solution at all, because you have no power to break Hardy's scheme, even if you know, you can only go forward obediently according to others' rules.

Either kneel or die.

Hardy continued:

"tomorrow,

At the Empire Hotel,

The Seven Consortiums officially started to negotiate with Japanese companies. Any company interested in cooperating with the Seven Consortiums can bring their corporate reports. "

The big entrepreneurs present are all moved their minds Cooperating with American companies, then there will be a chance to survive. If you don't cooperate, there will probably only be one ending. The company closes and the individual goes bankrupt.

Perhaps you can also choose to sell to a US consortium.

Otherwise, if companies of the same type get together, their own companies will be eliminated, and I am afraid they will not be able to be sold by then.

Hardy stepped off the podium.

The reception officially began.

In fact, this is not a reception at all. There is not even a girl. What a group of elders can do is just get together to talk about the economy and business.

The members of the seven consortia were surrounded by Japanese entrepreneurs and chatted about acquisitions and cooperation.

On Hardy’s side, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida accompanied him. Shigeru Yoshida raised a red wine glass to respect Hardy. The two took a sip of wine. Shigeru Yoshida said respectfully to Hardy:

"Special Envoy Hardy, Japan's food supply can only be kept to a minimum today. Many people feed their hunger with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and bran. Mr. Special Envoy, can you talk to President Johnson and increase some food aid?"
