"Everyone, time waits for no one, we can't remain silent any longer, give some suggestions."

The oppressive and tense venue, the Minister of Economy speaks with deep anguish.

The ruling class of the Japanese nation is gathered here,

business circles, political circles, almost everyone related to the economy is present.

Except for one person.

The Prime Minister.

As the apparent leader of the Japanese nation, the Prime Minister certainly didn't intend to be absent without good reason.

He is ill.

Getting older, inevitably comes with some health issues, and there's always the possibility of mental stress.

After selling off 500 billion US dollars of treasury bonds, to boost public confidence, the Prime Minister delivered a passionate nationwide television speech, announcing that the government had taken strong countermeasures, and the current economic downturn would soon be reversed, with economic recovery around the corner.

But who knew.

Just after the television speech ended, the exchange rate dropped another notch, breaking through 150, setting a new historical record again.

Then.

The Prime Minister, whose face had been metaphorically slapped hard, fell ill.

When it rains, it pours; when the ship is breaking, it meets a headwind.

Of course, the Prime Minister would not deceive the public, it was just unexpected that the enemy's gun still had bullets!

Aside from the Prime Minister exhausting every effort, the elite at the top of the pyramid were just as unprepared.

300 billion... US dollars.

It's like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The monopolistic conglomerates ruling various industries, although wealthy enough to rival nations, are not money-printing machines.

Moreover, even money-printing machines can't print US dollars!

As for the yen.

If they continue printing domestic currency, it's equivalent to shooting themselves in the foot.

"The arrest of Cao Jinse was a serious historical mistake!"

What if no solutions can be found?

Of course, responsibility must be shifted and shared.

Once said, all eyes swiftly turned in the same direction.

Becoming the focal point, Fujiwara Takuya was not pleased; on the contrary, he felt gloomy inside.

The suggestion to arrest Cao Jinse, persecute Jiuding Group, and appease Feng Shi was indeed his proposal, but he merely expressed everyone's sentiments as a representative. At that time, it was unanimously agreed upon, otherwise the plan would not have been executed.

But now look.

Seeing the great disaster, they began to push him as the scapegoat.

Fujiwara Takuya would certainly not bear such a burden, nor could he. He promptly refuted: "A historical mistake? I don't think so. We and Shen Zhou are incompatible like fire and water, it's only a matter of time. As long as the incense at Yasukuni Shrine continues, we are mortal enemies of Shen Zhou."

Everyone instantly fell silent.

Without exception, everyone present had visited Yasukuni Shrine to pay respects.

"If we start the war now, at least Feng Shi stands on our side. If we delay, wait until the Shen Zhou people are more prepared, with the nature of the Americans, to protect their feathers, they will most likely use us as a sacrifice."

Fujiwara Takuya continued, remarkably clear-headed, refusing to be humiliated or scapegoated.

"Everyone, the urgent matter at hand is not arguing, but how to deal with the insidious and treacherous Shen Zhou people."

The Minister of Economy spoke quickly, bringing the focus back on track.

In the face of great calamity.

What's the use of internal strife?

Even if responsibility is clarified, what difference does it make who's primarily responsible?

It makes no difference.

It fundamentally cannot change the current dire situation.

If the financial system truly collapses, as the main leader, he really could only commit seppuku.

The conference room's door was pushed open from the outside.

The governor of the National Bank walked in, slightly bowing, "Apologies, I'm late."

No one blamed him.

After all, they knew why he was delayed.

Watching the National Bank governor take his seat, the faces of these Japanese rulers turned even gloomier.

Of course, not directed at this hardworking governor.

"Has Jiuding Group paid off all the loans?"

"Yes, it's just been completed."

Lending out four trillion yen, returned in full, with added interest.

However, compared to the currency value difference caused by yen depreciation, this little interest was insignificant.

It's like having money snatched from your pocket, yet unable to complain.

Planning to borrow flowers to present Buddha, but ending up empty-handed attempting to steal a chicken.

Jiuding Group might have been plotting from that time!

Frustration, indignation.

But only able to endure it.

Compared to the precarious main battlefield, this loss was trivial.

"Still need to go to Feng Shi. We still have US treasury bonds, sell them all to Feng Shi, and go all out against Shen Zhou!"

The ghost of militarism has always hovered over Japan.

The so-called peaceful coexistence is merely a well-known guise.

What Fujiwara Takuya said objectively reflected a fact.

The Japanese people have never repented for the sins they committed, even always harbor a grudge against Shen Zhou, gnashing their teeth.

The ever-burning incense of the Yasukuni God Toilet is the truest evidence.

That's right.

Japan is the largest foreign holder of US treasury bonds, totaling over a trillion US dollars!

They've already realized 500 billion, but it's only 500 billion!

If the remaining US treasury bonds are sold off completely, blasting through the deadly 300 billion is no problem!

"Feng Shi is not a pawnshop; just because we're willing to sell doesn't mean Feng Shi is willing to buy?"

"Feng Shi has already put out 500 billion US dollars. Even if it wants, can it put out that much money again?!"

Nails hit exactly on point.

The Feng Shi might be strong, but what they need now is real gold and silver!

With trillion-dollar cash reserves, don't mention Feng Shi, probably no individual, institution, or organization in the world could bring that much out in one breath.
