Shutarou made the place of a meeting with Fukuhata the restaurant in the city of Tokyo, though it was commonplace.
"Does Niki yield me political power truly after half a year?"
Fukuhata looked at Shutarou distrustfully.
"Mr. Niki and Mr. Kawamoto are convinced.
Once it becomes the President, Mr. Niki can also acquire respect.
In after Mr. Niki's retiring voluntarily, Mr. Kawamoto will succeed a Niki group.
Mr. Kawamoto has said that it is satisfactory, if allowed to give the Secretary-General under you."
"I understood.
Is it such a thing?
He says that his faction will be enlarged and he will aim at my next.
To be sure, it will be serious to maintain it, even if the present Niki group's influence comes into power.
Mr. Kawamoto's Secretary-General is slightly severe.
But I try to be able to realize it if possible hard."
Fukuhata talked at a tune which already became the Prime Minister.
Shutarou enumerated the compliment.
He made it agree with taking out money from Fukuhata.
He decided to receive the request of Kawamoto and to contact Sotokoba next.
However, having gone to the place of Sotokoba suddenly was not desirable.
Then, there was a possibility that a weak point might be looked at by him and a high price might be required.
Then, he decided to meet Kodaira as preparatory maneuvers.
He met Kodaira in Members' Office Building.
Existence of Shutarou had already become known widely in Nagatacho.
There were also those who become suspicion and fear to his visit purpose.
Kodaira received him by secretary company.
He was expressionless so that it might be usual.
"I am busy.
What was requested from Mr. Fukuhata and Mr. Kawamoto?"
"It is the consultation which builds Mr. Ikehata's commemoration hall in fact."
Kodaira carried out unexpected expression.
He expected that it would be the talk of naturally requesting cooperation from presidential election candidacy of Fukuhata or Niki.
Shutarou praised Ikehata's achievements very highly,and spoke about a plan to build the hall in the city of Tokyo, to made the highest story the museum,and to build Ikehata's bronze statue at the entrance of a hall.
The honor of Kodaira will be lost if other factions lead it.
Therefore, when he wanted to use the name of Kodaira for a drafter, he offered.
Kodaira had various doubts.
But, he was not able to find the reason for opposing.
Although the talk of commemoration hall establishment had risen also from the Kodaira group several times, since it was an enterprise with little collateral, it had been going out for reasons of financial difficulty.
In the plan of Shutarou, he intends to do by nonpartisans.
The Diet member of the Conservative Party pays 30 percent of the whole, and the district assemblyman of a maintenance system pays 20 percent.
And the private sectors were the contents paid 50 percent.
The Kodaira group was good at the burden of 30 percent, and was to be managed with the overall amount of a burden at the 10 or less percent in the Conservative Party assignment.
And yet, it is not a bad talk because the name of Kodaira is written by drafter first in a roll.
"Let me already think for a while."
Although Kodaira avoided the prompt answer, he thought that he would consent to it.
However, he was amazed, when this political situation had told urgency and the easy talk was brought.
What do Fukuhata and Kawamoto really consider?
Did they contrive by selling an obligation, to pull me apart from Hatanaka?
Since Shutarou pulled up talks other than hall construction immediately without carrying out entirely, Kodaira developed doubts.
The information to which Shutarou visited Kodaira went also into the ear of Sotokoba.
It was thought that Fukuhata and Kawamoto was naturally carrying out work which draws Kodaira into an ally.
The rumor says that Kodaira carried out friendly reception.
If Kodaira constructs with Fukuhata, a result which the seat of a casting board separates from him will be brought.
This was a grave incident.
When Sotokoba worried, there was connection of a meeting from Shutarou.
Although Sotokoba had ordered "don't meet Kodama" from Hatanaka, he decided to meet Shutarou.
Fukuhata comes into power, and if Hatanaka will be arrested, while Sotokoba is instant, he will be at a loss for raising funds.
I have to ride on the winning horse.
He was going to betray when there was more money which Fukuhata and Kawamoto present than Hatanaka.
It is now impossible although he will not have the President's possibility if he keeps about Fukuhata.
Although it was a heart-breaking grief that he stands on the lee of Fukuhata of bitter enmity in the same constituency, if bad loans are not carried out somehow, his political life will finish.
Shutarou interviewed Sotokoba in the restaurant in the city of Tokyo.
Although Sotokoba had taken a haughty attitude, it has grasped the fear of a its real intention to Shutarou.
Although severe exchanges were exchanged among both, Shutarou succeeded in purchase of Sotokoba within the limits of the fixed amount beforehand.
