Hardy Empire 1945

MacArthur telegraphed the White House Office, and the secretary of the office submitted the telegram to President Johnson. In the telegram, MacArthur expressed his opposition to the sale of Japanese seized assets at a low price. He felt that this would cause hostility among the Japanese people and should be handled softly.

Johnson said calmly after reading it: Don't say that MacArthur can't stop this matter, even I don't have that ability.

He does know.

This time Hardy gathered the seven consortiums, and this price list is the result of the discussions between the seven consortiums.

He knew how influential the seven consortiums were.

He believes that this proposal will be easily passed in Congress without any resistance.

As for Johnson,

He won't object either, because he's using this to bring up the issue of limited health care with Hardy.

During the campaign, Johnson talked about the medical insurance plan, but later Hardy objected and proposed a limited medical insurance plan, which was regarded as an excessive plan. After Johnson was re-elected, he proposed a limited medical insurance plan to Congress.

Funded by the federal government, local governments and the public, limited medical insurance benefits are provided to the public.

Even so.

The last vote still failed.

This made Johnson feel very helpless.

Now that the Republican Party holds the majority in Congress, he has long foreseen that when he is in power in the future, many policies will encounter great resistance in Congress.

do not doubt,

When it comes to political party competition, sometimes some congressmen oppose it just for the sake of opposition.

In the words of the Chinese, it is just for you to see.

To let you know that although you have become the president, it just makes you unable to play.

So after Hardy proposed the Japanese asset price list this time, Johnson seemed to see an opportunity. He proposed to Hardy that he hoped to persuade Congress to pass the limited medical insurance plan through the seven major consortiums.

to be honest,

It is to use Japanese assets to benefit the seven major consortiums, and let the seven major consortiums contribute to persuade their own congressmen.

Hardy went back and told the matter to the seven major consortiums, and the other consortiums decided to use their connections to speak to the congressmen because of their interests.

To put it bluntly, this is a bare-bones exchange of interests.

The price Johnson paid was the assets of the Japanese, and what he got was that his ruling strategy could be carried out.

MacArthur jumped out to stop.

You block a hammer.

Can you stop it?

In the multi-party interest disputes among the president, the Congress, and the seven major consortiums, MacArthur, the Japanese overlord, is simply not enough to look at.

Don't look at him showing off his power in Japan, but in the United States he is just a general, and there are several generals at his level.

Naturally, Hardy also wanted to pass the limited medical insurance plan, because he also had deep interests in it. For this reason, he also formed a new insurance company with the Bank of America and Pacific Insurance of the California consortium.

Once the Limited Medical Insurance Plan is passed, the insurance company can get 30% of the business, and the company will immediately become a major insurance company.

Time passed quickly.

Voting day is coming.

The joint session of the two houses of Congress on Capitol Hill, today's meeting was chaired by Vice President Alben William Buckley as President of the Senate.

President Johnson attends the meeting.

The first issue is the proposal to set a price for Japan’s seizure of military enterprises and allow them to be sold. This proposal is a general proposal, which means that it only needs a majority to pass. After calculation, the vast majority of members voted in favor.

to Japan.

These people here either have no idea or don't like it. Dealing with Japanese assets has no interest in them. Besides, many people have received calls from the funders behind them in advance, so naturally they will not disobey the funder's father for such a trivial matter.

The second topic is about President Johnson's 'Universal Limited Medical Insurance Benefits Plan'. Because of this policy, it will involve 150 million people in the United States. It is a relatively important bill that involves the future of the country and national security. More than two-thirds of the members of the House of Representatives must vote in favor to pass it.

Last time Johnson proposed this bill. He spent a lot of effort to persuade the Democratic Party members to support him. He also delivered a speech in Congress, emphasizing the advantages and significance of this health insurance policy, and he had to accept questions from the members. But in the end Still failed.

And this time.

There were no disturbances at the joint meeting. After President Johnson finished his speech, only a few congressmen raised a few not-so-sharp questions.

Hold a vote.

In the end, the proposal was passed with a vote of more than two-thirds.

President Johnson was in a great mood.

Since he was re-elected as president, he has finally pushed forward the first reform proposal. The implementation of this limited medical insurance plan will bring great benefits to the American people and lay a good foundation for future medical insurance policies.

Available at the same time.

He also sighed in his heart.

Before Hardy's support, he had made so much effort, but he couldn't carry it out, and Republican congressmen kept holding him back.

And now with Hardy helping.

The bill passed smoothly.

Even if he is the president, he still cannot compete with the power of capital.

He remembered what Hardy once said when he was chatting with him, To survive in the cracks and to develop in the competition, politics is an art of competition and compromise.

After the U.S. Congress approved the proposal to sell Japanese assets, the news quickly spread back to Japan, and both Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida and cabinet members felt very frustrated.

No matter how hard you struggle, you cannot avoid the fate of being gradually eaten away.

They worked hard.

Various methods are used.

But to no avail.

Shigeru Yoshida was silent for a while, and said solemnly to the cabinet members: This is only the first step. Those military factories are completely irreparable. Next, the special economic guidance envoy will guide other Japanese companies. We must be prepared .”

The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance whispered: Nowadays, our enterprises have no orders, no production, and no profits. Technicians and ordinary workers were all dismissed, just to save their last breath.

Even so, they can't hold on for long. In this case, if Americans come to invest, do you think those entrepreneurs can hold on? There are more than 100 investors on the investable list handed over to Americans last time. Enterprises, this is the result of our efforts to prevent it.

Assets were looted.

Very humiliating and sad.

But there was nothing they could do.

Yoshida was silent.

Other cabinet members also fell silent.

Because they have discussed many times before, in this situation, some problems are unsolvable.

Can only be silent.

The Japanese political arena has the habit of facing problems silently, which has been passed down to later generations.

Meetings are often abruptly cold.

 …

It is good news for Hadi and other consortiums that Congress passed the Japanese seized asset sale proposal.

Hadi is the special envoy of Japan's economy and has the right to handle these assets, so he convened a meeting of several consortiums again.

Divide the cake officially.

Before that, everyone still reached a consensus on cooperation. Each company registered hundreds of companies in the Cayman Islands, and then used these companies to buy Japanese seized companies.

The economic team carried out detailed share division and cross-shareholding, and finally these companies were all held by these companies.

On the surface, each company is held by three to five companies, but the division of shares inside is extremely complicated. It is equivalent to the seven major consortiums controlling these 300 companies in Japan, forming a huge and relatively fixed interest group.

The Cayman Islands has not yet been built, but it has officially started operations.

at the same time.

These companies have registered more companies in the Cayman Islands, and have attached their overseas companies to the Cayman company. In the future, operating funds can go to the Cayman account, which can leave a large amount of business tax for the company.

Some enterprises of the Hadi Group have also carried out such operations. As long as it is legal, the Federal Taxation Bureau will have nothing to do with him.

Now there is one more question involved.

That is the funds for purchasing these Japanese companies, totaling 570 million U.S. dollars. This is a huge sum of money. Strictly speaking, this money does not belong to Japan, because those companies were seized and confiscated by the US military.

But this money,

Hadi and other consortia do not want to hand over to the government.

The greed of capitalists has no bottom line.

Hadi led the delegation and negotiated with the US government, hoping that the money would be used for aid and economic reinvestment in Japan, so as to facilitate the resolution of the difficulties Japan is currently encountering.

Hardy was originally the special envoy of Japan's economic guidance, and it is reasonable to make such a request. In the past few years, he has funded more than 2 billion US dollars in materials and food for Japan.

Although I plan to get rid of this burden and implement the Dodge plan, it seems that the Japanese economy is getting more and more sluggish, the unemployment rate is alarming, ordinary people can't sustain themselves, there is a shortage of food, and they can only provide rations. Many people are hungry every day .

With the current strength of the Japanese government alone, it is impossible to solve the existing problems in a short period of time.

In the end, President Johnson agreed to the $570 million in funding for another aid to Japan and economic recovery.

As an economic envoy, Hadi has the right to use the funds.

Hardy was happy.

With this money, he believed that the Japanese government would honor itself like MacArthur.

For ease of use, Hardy requested that the US$570 million be placed in Wells Fargo, and the government finally agreed.

August 15th.

Today is the day when the economic guidance group arrived in Japan.

Originally, it was only mid-May when Hardy returned to the United States from Hong Kong. In the middle, he experienced a trip to the United Kingdom, a trip to the Cayman Islands, and a consortium to acquire companies. The time has been delayed until now.

Hardy is finally set to arrive in Japan on August 15.

As for why it is August 15th.

Nothing special.

Hardy just found a date at random, and then looked at the almanac, it was suitable to travel, and it was set on this day.

early in the morning.

There are many people at Haneda Airport who are busy, preparing to meet the affairs. As the special envoy of economic guidance, they have the right to guide and plan the development of Japan's economy. It can be said that Japan's economy is too high. A random order can make Japanese large companies tremble.

The Japanese Prime Minister and cabinet members all came to greet him.

They found out that the U.S. government agreed to sell the funds for Japanese assets, which would be controlled by Mr. Hardy, and would use the money for aid and economic management of Japan.

Those who have milk are mothers, and those who have money are fathers.

With such a large amount of disposable funds, Hardy can do whatever he says, and use it for whomever he says.

They don't think it's too much to kneel down and call daddy.

In addition, there are many Japanese business owners. They also heard the news that the people who came were from the seven major consortiums in the United States. They are the richest consortiums in the world.

In addition, many reporters came, including reporters from the Global Times.

Regarding Hardy's trip to Japan, the United States also notified MacArthur at the same time, but after reading the notice, MacArthur threw the telegram aside.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, and he will never go to the airport to greet Jon Hardy, and he has no affection for Hardy.

He sold all the seized assets in Japan before he came to Japan, and he didn't have any discussions with himself. Nong, how could he have a crush on Hardy.

Buzz buzz~~~!

far away.

Two large planes flew in the sky.

The Japanese Prime Minister, cabinet members, and greeters standing on the airport all looked up at the sky. As the plane got closer, they could already see the shape of the plane clearly.

Many people trembled in their hearts.

It's a B-29 bomber.

And there are two.

At the end of World War II, the United States carried out repeated bombings on the main island of Japan. The B-29 bomber was dispatched. Later, the plane that dropped two atomic bombs was also a B-29. The Japanese were full of fear of this bomber.

The plane lands at the airport.

Glide out for a certain distance and then stop.

The hatch opens.

Hardy got off the plane with the members of the consortium investigation team.

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida hurried forward with his cabinet members, bowed and said: Welcome Special Envoy Hadi to Japan.

Click click click.

Journalists filmed the Japanese prime minister and cabinet members bowing to Hadi.

They have already thought about the headlines for tomorrow's newspaper.

Jon Hardy, the overlord of the Japanese economy, has arrived in Japan. How will he transform the Japanese economy and finance?
