I am a literary giant in Japan

“.This is roughly what happened.

By the time Miyamoto-san and Hikigaya-san's men arrived at the Charity School for the Deaf and Dumb, several physical education teachers involved had already committed suicide by disembowelment and had also written down their "criminal records" "truthfully" on pen and paper.

To be honest, I find it a little hard to understand why Seiji Maehara and others are still clinging to the Ci Ai Group?

Once these things are exposed, under the overwhelming public opinion, even the prime minister himself will be forced to resign and apologize, not to mention him as the second in command of the opposition party. "

Machimura Nobutaka expressed his doubts on the phone, and then turned the topic back to the new books written by Kitagawa Hidezai.

“As for the three new books you mentioned, Mr. Kitagawa, I have already registered them with the Prime Minister’s Cabinet through the official channels of the Ministry of Education.

What the Prime Minister meant was that, Mr. Kitagawa, just write and do it with confidence.

These three books are different from "1Q84" and do not involve too many sensitive characters.

The words of those who are related to the Charity Group and the New Democratic Party cannot affect the political landscape.”

"I understand. Please express my gratitude to the Prime Minister on my behalf. Also, if possible, please remind the Prime Minister to pay more attention to his health."

Kitagawa Hide added one more sentence before hanging up the phone.

Among all the Japanese prime ministers, Keizo Obuchi is considered to be moderate. His advantage is that he led the Japanese economy out of the Great Depression after the bubble. In terms of foreign policy, he is relatively pro-China and anti-American, and is well-liked by the officials next door.

The disadvantage is that he died too early and too suddenly.

In the original history, on April 2000, 4, Obuchi Keizo fell into a coma due to a stroke.

Not long after, he was replaced as leader of the Liberal Democratic Party and prime minister by the conservative Yoshiro Mori, and Obuchi Keizo died in the seventh week of his coma.

Mori Yoshiro is the first prime minister after the millennium and is also a well-known transitional prime minister. The person who took power after him was Koizumi XXX, who is very familiar and disgusting to the people next door.

It can be said that since Keizo Obuchi, the post of Japanese Prime Minister has long been controlled by pro-American forces within the Liberal Democratic Party and the New Democratic Party, and has gone further and further down the right-wing path.

Both publicly and privately, Kitagawa Hideto didn't want Obuchi Keizo to fall so soon.

Machimura Nobutaka finally replied, "I understand. I will definitely convey Mr. Kitagawa's words to the Prime Minister," and then hung up the phone.

The reactions from Keizo Obuchi and the others were all within Kitagawa Hide's expectations.

After all, the Liberal Democratic Party and the New Democratic Party have always been competitors. Now there is a good opportunity to strike at the second-in-command of the other party. Why not do it?
The problem is that the countermeasures taken by Seiji Maehara and his team were beyond Kitagawa Hide's expectations.

The Charity Group should be very profitable, after all, they are engaged in illegal activities such as human organ trafficking.

But a top politician, faced with major issues, actually chose to go towards the tiger mountain even though he knew there was a tiger there.

It's really a bit out of my mind.

But that’s fine too.

Kitagawa Hide was originally worried that Maehara Seiji and the others would cut ties quickly enough, so he would not be able to find any substantial evidence, and that after the evidence was exposed, it would only cause them minimal damage.

Now, the other party is determined to be tied to the Ci Ai Group, so don’t blame me for being ruthless when the time comes!

In a head-on confrontation, Kitagawa Hide has never been afraid of anyone!
“Speaking of which, the main villains behind The Crucible are also politicians and tycoons.

It’s just that there are too many restrictions on Korean films in their country, so they dare not shoot them blatantly, as they may be easily regarded by the chaebols as deliberately throwing mud at them.

But I don’t have this concern and I can present the most real story to my readers.

This is the first bombshell of the new year. I want to see how they deal with it."

Kitagawa Hide will not tolerate these self-righteous people.

After thinking about this, he decisively returned to his computer, opened the "The Crucible" which he had already written most of, and began to revise and modify it word by word according to the new ideas.

If the true appearance of the mastermind behind the scenes can be perfectly presented, the plot of the novel will become more oppressive and tense, and when it is adapted into a movie in the future, it will also bring a stronger visual impact to the audience.

The backgrounds of Japan and South Korea are very similar, so there is no need to worry about being exposed or having major bugs when doing this kind of substitution.

When "The Crucible" is almost finished, the progress of "Children in the Dark" and "A Wonderful Journey" can also be advanced at the same time to avoid the embarrassing situation of delaying the submission of manuscripts before the submission date.

With these three novels being released simultaneously, January 1999 will surely be a date that will be unforgettable for countless Japanese literature readers!

1999 1 Month 3 Day.

The last day of the Japanese bank holiday.

Tomorrow is the official start day of work. After being lazy for nearly a week, the office workers and students have to return to their posts and work hard.

It has been eight years since the bubble economy burst in 1991. This period of time is enough for a child who has just entered elementary school to enter high school, and for a newlywed couple to go through the seven-year itch and enter the second stage of marriage.

However, the afterglow of the bubble era has not completely dissipated. At any time and in any place, there are always some "old people" who have experienced that era who miss it, commemorate it, and fear it.

After Obuchi Keizo came to power, he implemented a series of new economic policies that achieved remarkable results.

Japan's total national debt is gradually declining, and the holes left by the collapse of the real estate and stock markets are being filled by the emerging entertainment and high-tech industries.

But the Japanese people, who have suffered throughout the 1990s, are still living a very tired and confused life.

They hope that in the new year, before the millennium that countless people have been looking forward to, there will be a weather vane to guide them out of the layers of fog and into a new world.

Literary works are naturally the best choice as a weather vane.

As the recognized "number one in the world" in Japanese literary circles, Kitagawa Hide's new book has undoubtedly become the hottest topic since the beginning of 1999, without a doubt.

Rumors about Hide Kitagawa's new book appeared on the Internet very early.

Those internet trolls who claim to be "insiders" told netizens that Mr. Beichuan's new book will be related to a special group and will write about a group of people that are rarely mentioned.

In addition, Mr. Beichuan’s new book will rarely criticize the political arena, directly pointing the finger at the powerful figures of certain parties!

Writers versus politicians.

This is the favorite drama of countless people.

Unfortunately, since the post-war era, the writers who once had some integrity and pride have completely lost their backbone under the leadership of "world's best" such as Ichirō Tanizaki.

A number of literary organizations, led by the Japanese Literary Society, are filled with literati who fawn over politicians.

If Kitagawa Hide had not appeared in 1995, the Japanese literary world would most likely have become the second literary criticism world.

This is a fact recognized by everyone.

This time, there were rumors that Mr. Kitagawa would specifically criticize top politicians, which immediately attracted the interest of tens of millions of citizens.

However, this news has never been confirmed, and everyone can only secretly hope that it is true, so that they can see the most exciting drama at the beginning of the year. Some insiders in the publishing and literary circles have keenly noticed the truth of the matter -

It is highly likely that Kitagawa Hide is going to criticize politicians.

Because if it is false and someone is deliberately misleading public opinion, then Beichuan Entertainment and Kawade Shobo will definitely come out to refute the rumors as soon as possible.

However, the "rumor" has been spreading for so long and has become more and more intense, but there is still no official refutation.

This is intriguing.

At 1 p.m. on January 3, Tokyo Broadcasting System TBS suddenly interrupted the broadcast with a short message, which instantly shocked everyone.

"According to the news from the front desk reporter at the scene, we have confirmed that Mr. Beichuan's new book is called "The Crucible", which is a non-fiction about deaf and mute children.

For more information about the novel, please listen to this interview conducted by a reporter from the front desk with Ms. Reina Saito, deputy editor-in-chief of Kawade Shobo's "Literature" magazine.

On TV, the beautiful female anchor was also shocked by the content when she read the temporary manuscript.

Fortunately, her professional qualities are strong and no major mistakes occurred.

"Hello, Vice Minister Saito. I am Tsuyoshi Honda, an assigned special reporter for Tokyo Broadcasting System TBS. It is an honor to interview you about Mr. Kitagawa's new book."

"Hello, reporter Honda. I am also honored to answer your questions about Mr. Kitagawa's new book."

"Haha, Vice Minister Saito is really modest. Then I'll get straight to the point. What's the title of Mr. Kitagawa's new book?"

“The title of the book is The Crucible, which implies that a cruel society is a huge melting pot for ordinary people and certain special groups.

We are forced to be smelted in it, trying our best to survive, but in the end we can only turn into endless ashes. "

"Ah, it sounds like a very heavy story. May I ask what special groups you are talking about?"

"People with hearing and visual impairments are also known as the deaf-mute."

"The deaf and dumb? It turns out that Mr. Beichuan's new book is about such a special group."

"Yes. This is the book that Beichuan insisted on writing after encountering some very unpleasant things last year.

For this purpose, he has prepared three novels in one go, which will be released one after another this month. "

"Three novels?! All released at once this month?!"

At this part of the audio, you can clearly feel that the Honda reporter was surprised.

Naoto Kan, who was also sitting in front of the TV watching the news at this time, could be sure that this was definitely not the "program effect" agreed upon in advance by Tokyo Broadcasting System TBS and Kawaide Shobo.

Japanese people like to use exaggerated expressions and tones to intensify their emotional output in public. As a top politician, Naoto Kan is very familiar with this.

Therefore, he can tell at the first moment whether the other party is really "surprised" or just pretending.

This Honda was indeed scared.

In other words, what Saito Rena said was not in the established script and should have been her impromptu speech.

That's interesting.

A woman who could climb to the second-in-command of the editorial department of a leading publishing house was definitely not a rookie who would reveal a performance accident in front of the camera.

She obviously did this under the instruction of her superiors, and she deliberately wanted to create this effect in the audio.

Even though they knew it was a recording accident, Tokyo Broadcasting System TBS still played the entire audio clip to the audience.

Therefore, the mastermind behind this is either Kitagawa Hide, Kawaide Shizuko, or both of them.

Only they have such a great influence that can make the arrogant Tokyo Broadcasting System TBS surrender.

“I heard not long ago that Maehara Seiji’s Charity Group was under investigation, and I thought it was just a routine inquiry by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

Now, the unpleasant things mentioned in the audio are most likely known to the school by Mr. Beichuan. "

Naoto Kan has been busy dealing with foreign affairs during this period and has basically not paid much attention to party affairs, nor has he communicated much with Obuchi Keizo and others.

I didn’t expect that just after a new year, the New Democratic Party would face such a tough opponent!

“I don’t know if Kitagawa-sensei is only targeting Maehara and his group, or if he has been instructed to target the entire New Democratic Party.”

Naoto Kan looked at the TV with some worry; the audio content was no longer his focus.

He was worried that it was the latter. In that case, as the party leader, he would also be to blame and would be dragged down.

After much deliberation, Naoto Kan still did not call Mr. Kitagawa directly.

To do so would be a bit too abrupt and too obvious.

No matter how good the relationship between the two parties is, their camps are a little different after all, and doing this will make it difficult for Mr. Kitagawa.

"Xiaoye-chan, please call the First Surgery Department of the Tokyo University Hospital for me and tell them that I want to have a meal with Professor Karasawa Toshiyuki."

"Yes, Minister, I will arrange it now." The young and beautiful female secretary walked out, twisting her waist.

"This Maehara guy has forced me to give up my rare holiday again." Naoto Kan watched the female secretary leave, and the desire that had just risen up in his heart could only slowly die out.

At the same time, Seiji Maehara, who inexplicably caused so much trouble, flew to Sweden.

After he tried his best to protect the Ci Ai Group, the truth soon became known to Shiroyama Saburo.

The furious Shiroyama Saburo went to his house immediately, but was rejected by him on the grounds that he was busy with official business and had to go on a business trip.

Saburo Shiroyama turned around and went back to find Seiji Maehara's father, and then tried to suppress him with the family's righteousness.

In order to avoid the chattering people like Shiroyama Saburo, he decisively chose to fly overseas and ignore these old immortals who had long lost their edge.

He was in Sweden just in time to meet his friends from the Arnault Club.

Just last month, at the dinner after the Nobel Prize award ceremony, an unexpected event completely disrupted the overseas literary world.

The news was blocked immediately and had not yet reached Japan.

It is said that all the people involved have been controlled in Stockholm. More than half a month has passed, and they are still in solitary confinement, and no one has escaped.

The most central figure in the vortex of events is Mr. Arnault, the founder of the Arnault Club!
As a core member of the club, Seiji Maehara plans to test the waters and bring back reinforcements to his country, so that more powerful overseas writers can fight against the mysterious Kitagawa Hideo that Shiroyama Saburo is keeping secret!

No one in China can cure Beichuan Xiu, is there no one in such a big country like China?! (End of this chapter)
