5 political strifes (3) Shutarou prepared the 4 person talk of Fukuhata, Niki, Sotokoba, and Kodaira. It was a title called consultation of the Ikehata commemoration hall construction. The place was a restaurant in the city of Tokyo. The talk that Sotokoba was purchased was made to be immediately spread and amazed at the ear of Kodaira. When the situation solidified, means only had that the rest rode on the winning horse. At 4 persons talk, the talk attached Niki by recommending for the President of the next term. Shutarou turned completely into the backroom person and he did not attend this talk himself. Next day, Shutarou received connection of wanting to meet from a rightist and political gang's Otama. The relation of Otama was deep to Sotokoba of the Kawano system before. He was in secret touch with the Udou time in friendship also at Fukuhata. Since he was approaching good Hatanaka of money payment recently, Shutarou looked out. He could not but consider Hatanaka's retaliation first. He may be the mind which lures out and kills me. Otama who has friendship to many gangs was able to use the assassin, when he liked. On the conditions of going out from the way in Otama, Shutarou has consented to the meeting. The place was used as the Ministry of Justice building which has met the Metropolitan Police Department. Shutarou asked Fukuhata and hardened the inside of a building by the policeman of plain clothes and a uniform. Shutarou met with Otama in the conference room of the highest story. No less than 5 times, Otama and the secretary were checked for the body, looked at each other and smiled wryly until they met Shutarou. The talk of Otama was Hatanaka's complete surrender. Hatanaka wished the dense talk to Niki. He was the contents of doing his best so that a Niki group may fully be supported on condition that he is not arrested, and political power may be realized over a long period of time, at that time. Shutarou was disappointed. He was once hailed as the father of the Imperial adviser now. He used greatest power on the civil engineering and building contractor in Japan, and made the land price of Japan go up and down at his own discretion. He was governing the greatest gang in Japan. Now, the he is frightened in his arrest. He has neither shame nor reputation and bows earnestly. Futility was memorized for Shutarou to thrust a head into the political world. The end of the year drew near, intraparty adjustment stuck, and Niki was nominated as the President. Niki made "clean Niki" the catchphrase. He presented "Public opinion respectas " and "A social unjust dissolution" and "Inflation prevention" as campaign pledges. Among these, about "inflation prevention", since it became a serious depression under the influence of an oil crisis, it was canceled automatically. But, the other campaign pledges were smothered by the right-wing influence of the Conservative Party It passed over the middle also 1975. Niki breaks a secret promise and continued staying on at the Prime Minister's chair. Fukuhata summoned and threatened Kawamoto exceeding the limit of patience. Fukuhata bulldozed, when the inaccurate accounting of the Nikou steamship was revealed using the National Tax Administration Agency. Since the information which Fukuhata is holding was a fact, troubled Kawamoto summoned Shutarou. "Fukuhata got angry and has raged, saying my company is crushed. Of course, Mr. Niki is not going to retire voluntarily. The rightist of the Far East affinity party family line is also making noise in front of my company with the street sound truck. Can't you do somehow using the Kobe group? " Fukuhata yielded and received the authority of the Far East affinity party from Udou. The Far East affinity party had caused the complication in the Kobe group and various places which cooperated in Hatanaka. Since Fukuhata which is holding police-powers power pressed the Kobe group plainly, the Kobe group had forced hard-fight. Since Niki became the prime minister, the suppression to the Kobe group of Fukuhata was escalating increasingly. "Does a plan only have cooperating with Hatanaka?" Shutarou said so. Kawamoto has also agreed with him. "Probably, there is only the plan too. In order to escape arrest, a policy only has warring with Fukuhata and winning. Do we persuade Hatanaka such? " "Let's also involve in Kodaira. "If a year is carried out in the second half, since political power will be abdicated for you, you cooperate in us now." We say so." "Do we do the same secret promise also as Kodaira? It is the precarious day-to-day management of a small factory in town completely. If half a year is taken, Kodaira will begin to make noise shortly. you are going to make us promise Sotokoba in secret then?" "It is discernment." When Shutarou laughed, by not laughing, famous Kawamoto was hung uniquely and laughed. In this way, Niki and Hatanaka will make an agreement and they will cooperate each other in taking the route of anti-Fukuhata. Fukuhata enraged at betrayal of Niki made a decision to pull up all a henchman's cabinet members, and schemed for the anti-Niki encircling net. However, Kodaira received the political power transfer talk which Kawamoto showed truly, and attached it to the Niki camp. Sotokoba of opportunism judged Niki to be advantageous. He also showed the attitude of anti-Fukuhata. Both Fukuhata and Sotokoba with the same constituency was factional leaders. Both aimed at top success in an election, having applied honor, respectively. But, Sotokoba who was stingier than famous stingy Fukuhata disliked dropping money to local. Whenever he elects, he is continuing losing Fukuhata by a wide margin. Therefore, he had deepened the deep-seated grudge to Fukuhata. Not to mention it surrounded Niki, Fukuhata by which he has been surrounded conversely was completely at a loss. Niki granted the demand of Sotokoba and made Mugiba the Minister of Justice. Mugiba and Niki had good relations. They had started taking the jurisdiction which is the precious article of Fukuhata. This gave the damage to Fukuhata like a body blow in the stage which passed one year after political power acquisition. Niki boasted of gang banishment campaign instantly, and began the Far East affinity party hunting of a Fukuhata subordinate. It was not able to be overemphasized that the government began to shut an eye in activity of the Kobe group.
