1974 came and people were afflicted by the serious shortage of a thing of a contractor sold unwillingly and depended.
Thus, the mass media manipulation by the Fukuhata group was successful.
The fact that the Hatanaka system company had got the enormous profit by the dealings in real estate by insider trading was exposed one after another in the land jump by the inflation.
Hatanaka who was obliged to resignation schemed to transfer political power to Sotokoba who listens to what will be said if even money is paid.
But, it suffered a setback before violent opposition of Fukuhata, Kodaira, and Niki.
If political power included Fukuhata who controls judicial circles, it was a foregone conclusion that he is arrested.
Hatanaka drew closer to Kodaira unavoidably.
Kodaira acknowledged the maintenance moderate of the Ikehata direct descent.
But, since Hatanaka came into power, he was excluded from rights and dissatisfaction had collected.
He got impatient for Fukuhata also to there being delay by the scramble for political power.
Kodaira made a decision for it to be hung by money and avarice after all and to accept Hatanaka's aid.
Fukuhata who knew this information was confused.
It is because he thought that political power naturally fell into his way automatically when Hatanaka resigned.
Kodaira and he struggled jointly just till recently, and had dragged and taken down Hatanaka.
He did not expect the Kodaira turning around and cooperating in Hatanaka.
If Hatanaka, Sotokoba, and Kodaira construct, they will occupy the general trend of the Conservative Party.
Fukuhata became desperate and explored the weak point of Kodaira.
However, Kodaira with the nickname of "the blunt bull" was very careful.
He did not make it grasp a weak point simply so.
Conversely, the guess whether the information on oil smuggling with the Soviet Union was crossing to Kodaira also flowed.
It embarrassed Fukuhata.
Kawamoto interpreted such confusion of the Conservative Party as the best opportunity.
With an honest means, political power does not turn around the Niki group of the Conservative Party minimum faction eternally.
He wants to inaugurate himself as the prime minister in fact.
But, under a present situation, since there were no wits of money-making, he thought that a best policy took out Niki with a clean image to a table.
It was the same as he himself came into power when Niki came into power.
However, with the brains of Kawamoto,he did not think of what strategy devising.
Then, Kawamoto called Shutarou from Hokkaido.
Shutarou to which Niki was said consider a means to come into power from Kawamoto considered a means to cajole Sotokoba for the time being.
At the time of a Japanese-Islands alteration boom, Sotokoba followed Hatanaka blindly and tried land speculation.
However, unlike Hatanaka of a ground building, an amateur's Sotokoba has made a large amount of bad loans at all.
Now, he has threatened and deceived the bank of a loanee.
But, with this, the critical situation that his political life might be taken was suited.
Shutarou proposed the strategy which passes money to Sotokoba in this case and sells an obligation.
Kawamoto showed unwillingness.
Sotokoba was a man according to a money command.
He also knew it.
But, it was meaningless, unless it showed the amount of money higher than it, since Hatanaka had applied approach to Sotokoba now.
"That fellow will take advantage of our weak point, and will do an extraordinary demand, since he is grabby."
"You should make it participate also in Fukuhata.
Cooperation of Fukuhata is required in order to make Mr. Futaki into the President someday.
It will not drop to 1/4 of the whole only by the Niki group and the Sotokoba group.
Raising funds will also become easy if Fukuhata is added."
Kawamoto became a hopeless expression.
I did not know that you were political tone deaf so much.
Stinginess of Fukuhata is beyond common sense.
He lost the pre- presidential election with Hatanaka because he regretted money.
Probably, such a fellow should not pay money for Mr. Futaki."
Shutarou laughed.
"I did not think that the way of considering with so more faithful being also with Mr. Kawamoto was adopted.
It is OK.
Fukuhata wants to become the President very much.
He joined this plan because he opted for the preparedness which scatters money in a presidential election.
The last failure must have borne him very much.
We should just tickle the ambition of Fukuhata.
Mr. Niki is a dummy for dodging financial influence criticism, half a year is taken, and criticism will be settled.
Waiting for the time, we exchange definite promise documents of abdicating the throne for Fukuhata.
If the President's post can be gained by patience of a grade half a year, Fukuhata will consent to it absolutely."
"If Mr. Niki's political power becomes a grade half a year, we will add up a deficit.
If I get used to the President after that, it is still good.
But, if the following turn is Fukuhata, it will not be clear anymore when my watch turns."
Kawamoto blushed the face and he complained of it.
"Probably, you know that it is only a slip of paper in a definite promise document etc.
We should just fabricate the incident in which a political power shift is impossible.
Then, it is our victory.
A former promise is as same as not existing.
You may pass the scandal of Fukuhata up if you like.
We should just say to him "Bear for a while until memory of an incident fades."
It is stronger to have political power after all.
Fukuhata has only borne."
Kawamoto has been convinced.
"To be sure, if it comes into power, it will be our freedom.
Does it do with the tactics?
Subsequently, therefore, I want to request negotiation with Fukuhata from you."
The way will be paved for great rights by Shutarou if this design is collected well.
Therefore, he decided to take over it.
