In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Ikeda Sakurako challenged, "Don't you believe it? How about we have a competition?"

Ah!

Is this okay too?

Nagano nodded immediately and said, "Okay!"

"....." Ikeda Sakurako rolled her eyes: "I take back what I said just now, you are at least more shameless than me!"

"I learned all this from you." Nagano rolled his eyes at him and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Well...two ways."

"Which two?"

"Help me acquire Hanshin, and then merge Hankyu, and the family will have no way to restrain me anymore."

"Well...I'm not any good at all!"

"Then the second option, help me get Xiaojing or Xiaoye pregnant, like a raccoon borrowing a prince, how about that?" Ikeda Sakurako pulled Xiaoye into her arms and said with interest.

Nagano looked up at the two very different and delicate faces and flatly refused: "Ikeda, who do you think I am? A friend's wife should not be bullied. Please don't use this kind of thing to tarnish our friendship!"

"How about two together?"

"That's even worse!"

"It seems that I still underestimated your cunning."

"Each other, each other!"

"..."

I sat there for a while.

Nagano Naoio stood up and said goodbye.

Looking at the guy's back as he walked away, thinking of the time when he was molested by this bastard, Ikeda Xiaoye said bitterly: "Miss, this guy is really too despicable, is he going to get away with it like this?!"

"It's a good deal for him? Come to think of it, isn't it me who gets the better deal?"

"What advantage are you taking? You're clearly at a disadvantage!"

"Idiot! No one can make others work hard unless they are willing to do so. And he has put his life and energy into the struggle to have everything he has today. But he, his woman, and everything he has will be taken by me. Am I not taking advantage of him?"

"It seems... to make some sense, but this guy seems to have changed a lot recently!"

Sakurako Ikeda stroked the soft skin in her hands, teasing the circle and saying, "Xiang says: Heaven moves vigorously, and the gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement. "The hidden dragon should not be used", the Yang is below. "The dragon is seen in the field", virtue is widespread. "All day long, it is dry and dry", it is the way of repetition. "Some leap in the abyss", there is no fault in advancing. "The flying dragon is in the sky", it is created by adults. "The arrogant dragon will regret", fullness cannot last long. "Use nine", the virtue of heaven cannot be the first."

“It is said that the dragon in hiding is not used because the yang is below. This is the way of heaven, the way of the country, and the way of man.”

"And the Hidden Dragon Does Not Use does not mean not to show it, but it means not to show it right away, first accumulate strength, and then show it when you can.

Before you grow up, you have to be able to endure loneliness. Now Chujiu is like a small sapling, and what you need to do is to take root. The more stable and deep the roots are, the taller and bigger it will grow in the future. "

"Miss, are you saying that he has accumulated enough strength?" Ikeda Xiaoye said in disbelief, unable to believe that her young lady would give such a high evaluation.

Ikeda Sakurako nodded, but then said doubtfully, "That's true, but there's one thing I don't understand. Judging from his horoscope, he should have died before me! How come he's getting stronger now?"

"Could it be that the calculations were not accurate? Or that the fate was changed?"

"A fate that can be changed is no longer a fate. Unless... one's spirit is transcendent... one can change one's fate!"

"..."

And at this time.

Nagano Nao was sitting in the car, also smiling very proudly.

-It takes two hands to clap!

War has been with human beings since the Paleolithic Age, for a long history of about one million years.

The war between men and women.

A war between men.

What’s interesting is that wars between men are often started by women.

Since ancient times, topics between men and women have been serious and yet full of trivialities, with endless things to talk about and describe.

Applause for love.

Support each other.

Share weal and woe.

It’s just that the current ecology is returning to its original state as never before, the instincts of animals are released, they enjoy themselves, smile happily, show off their strengths and weaknesses, and indulge in low-level interests.

Seriously, the years that pass by, with their traces of affection and cruelty, have already made Nagano Nao, an "old literary youth", full of all kinds of evil and numb.

Especially after getting used to seeing the games between dogs and girls, and the goddess becoming a pastoral dog, I really want to become a morally corrupt person and join in.

But being a callous person is somewhat tragic. It is difficult for a person to be moved by passion, to be filled with righteous indignation, to cry and feel sad. Without joys and sorrows, love and hate, what is the difference between him and a walking corpse?

Now, this game becomes fun!

Not about love.

There is only a life of domination and being dominated.

But in this case, it is obviously more cost-effective to acquire Hanshin!

As long as Hanshin is acquired, Ikeda can be dealt with as well. Choosing the second option is stupid...

......

the following few days.

Naoyo Nagano calmly waited for his opportunity and paid attention to the international situation.

On the 8.1th.

Iraq and Kuwait were negotiating again, and as the negotiations stopped, Iraq continued to expand its military presence on the Kuwaiti border.

On August 8, Iraq invaded Kuwait and quickly occupied the entire territory of Kuwait in a blitzkrieg.

The war between the two major oil-producing countries, which had experienced the shadow of two oil crises, was extremely sensitive in this regard. The news spread around the world and brought about a huge response.

It was late at night.

The telephone rang all over the United States.

In sleep.

John Rockefeller Jr. was awakened by the phone and hurried to the Capitol.

At the same time, George Bush, J.P. Morgan, and the entire Wall Street were also awakened.

The news was too sudden. No one expected that Iraq would actually dare to send troops to Kuwait.

At the same time as the congressional meeting was held, major investment banks on Wall Street immediately convened an emergency meeting.

As one of the largest investment banks, John Weinberg also received the news first, cursed a few words, and rushed to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs Group.

Senior partners such as Warren Buffett have already arrived, and other partners have been waiting for a long time.

"This guy Sadam deserves to die. Starting a war at this time is simply a disaster."

"Just look at the newspapers. Iraq has occupied all of Kuwait. Next, oil production may be restricted on a large scale."

"Damn it! Is this bastard crazy?"

"The question is what do we do now?"

“How many crude oil short positions does the company currently hold?”

"About $660 million."

"Shit. That's a lucky number."

"..."

All the partners present were cursing angrily.

Goldman Sachs has always been in an invincible position in investment thanks to its five senior partners and global strategic layout.

oil?

price?

Supply and demand?

NO!

Capital determines prices, prices determine supply and demand, and supply and demand determine national strategies and directions.

for a long time.

The existence of Wall Street cooperates with the US government, economy, and military.

It is no exaggeration to say that the development of the Cold War to this day, the rise and fall of the Soviet Union and Maoism after the 81 Eastern military exercise, and the major investment banks on Wall Street are inseparable from each other.

Goldman Sachs, like Rockefeller, Morgan and other consortiums, played the role of suppressing the crude oil market price.

By locking in oil prices through forward contracts, oil-producing countries are forced to increase production to make up for the losses, thereby hitting oil prices and weakening Russia's economy.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and the economic base determines the social order.

The First World War and the subsequent Second World War both show that when the economy becomes bad, order will become chaotic, and the Russians will be trapped both internally and externally. They can only survive miserably and must either choose destruction or make concessions.

But as long as human beings exist, military is a product of politics, and compromise and concession become the most likely outcome.

So, in order to achieve this goal, Goldman Sachs, like most investment banks, holds a large short position in crude oil.

Only now, with Iraq's sudden invasion of Kuwait, everything has become uncertain.

"Warren, what's your point of attention?"

"..."

Because of the time difference.

It was afternoon in Tokyo.
