The Tokyo Honanji Temple shrouded in the curtain, quiet and peaceful, and enters with prosperity and hustle and bustle.

Ask the entourage to stay outside the temple, Murakami Satomasa followed Xiaosha, walked around the main hall, and walked along the forest path towards the monk's room behind.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a paradise among the most populous cities in the world.

The little novice stopped outside the monk's room, and Sadashi Murakami took off his leather shoes, put on wooden clogs, and entered the monk's room.

The light in the room was dim, and an old monk sat cross-legged on a futon, muttering words. As the scriptures fluctuated, the monk pulled the rosary at a speed that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Murakami Sasaki sat respectfully on the futon opposite the monk, without any excellence.

After reciting the last verse, he just moved the red rosary. The monk opened his eyes and saw Sadashi Murakami sitting opposite him.

"Azhen, are you here?"

"uncle……"

The monk pressed his hands and said, "I am impatient, not like you usually do."

Sadashi Murakami smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Honanji is the most famous Buddhist temple in Tokyo and even Japan. It is also a "holy land" in the Murakami family. The first generation leader of the family Katsuo Murakami, the fourth generation leader of the Meiji Restoration, Murakami Heiji died in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Murakami Takaguchi and Murakami Kenmoto, and the ancestors of Murakami Yasuo and Murakami Kennosuke were buried in the Honanji Temple. Starting from the second generation, the second or second generation males of the family were both born to the Honanji Temple after they became adults.

The monk sitting opposite was Murakami Sasaki, who was already 96 years old.

Even in Japan, not many people have heard of the Murakami family. Compared with the Fukuda family, Hatoyama family, Aidi family, Toyota family and other famous local political and consortium families, the Murakami family is extremely special. Over the past 200 years, the Murakami family has a total of 251 members "fulfilled loyalty to the country". On average, one person per year! The Murakami family is based on the army. From the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 to the Korean War, the Russo-Japanese War, the War of Aggression to China, and then to World War II. In every war in modern Japanese history, 68 "Murakami" died for their country. Although most of the "Murakami" are unknown juniors in the army, far from being as good as those infamous war criminals. However, through hundreds of years of hard work, the Murakami family's influence in the Japanese army has reached an omnipresent level.

After World War II, the Murakami family moved to the "underground" activity.

The local unrest broke out after the East China Sea War, which caught the Murakami family a little off guard. Because the leaders of the mainland family, including Taisho Murakami and Sadashi Murakami, did not expect Japan to be defeated so thoroughly in the East China Sea War. It is even more impossible to expect the local political turmoil after the defeat.

After seeing the situation clearly, the Murakami family began to take action.

It has to be said that Sadashi Murakami is an "alternative" in the family. Although like other members, Sadashi Murakami served in the Land Self-Defense Force for years when he was young and was already a major officer when he retired, Sadashi Murakami had little interest in the army. After retirement, he opened a small company and seemed to want to achieve some results in the business world.

Sadashi Murakami’s ideal is not to be a successful businessman, but to be a successful leader.

Before the East China Sea War, Sadashi Murakami did not take any action. The reason was very simple. The family did not allow any member to get involved in politics, so as not to be persecuted by "American lackeys" such as the Fukuda family and the Hatoyama family.

With domestic turmoil, soldiers came to power, and the "spring" of the Murakami family has arrived.

When Sadashi Murakami entered the Prime Minister's Office, there were 118 "Murakami" in the Japanese army, including one general, 37 assistants and 64 lieutenants. Including "ethnic relatives", distant relatives, students, etc., one-third of the generals in the Japanese army alone, and one-tenth of the assistants were related to the Murakami family. Not to mention anything else, Defense Minister Hiroki Katsushima, Chief of the Military Department Sato Nobusai, Deputy Chief of the Takashima Fanici and Iwasaki Nobukawa, Tokyo Garrison Commander Sushi Yamakari and others all had this or that connection with the Murakami family.

In this case, Sadashi Murakami became the prime minister, but it was just a matter of following the flow.

Unlike other families, the "elders" of the Murakami family rarely care about civil affairs. As long as the parents do not violate the clan rules, they will not interfere in family affairs arrogantly. To a large extent, the "elders" of the family are only parents' consultants. Only when encountering particularly serious problems will parents seek the opinions of the "elders".

"Azhen, have you encountered any trouble?"

Hearing his uncle speak, Sadao Murakami nodded and said, "We shouldn't have disturbed my uncle, but there is a question that I must seek my uncle's opinion."

Murakami Daisuke let out a long sigh, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"The U.S. Secretary of State just left Tokyo."

"About the war?"

Sadao Murakami nodded and said, "The United States once again asked us to send troops to the Korean Peninsula as soon as possible to assist the Korean and American coalition forces to advance northward and defeat the Chinese army."

"Did you agree?"

"No, not yet." Murakami Satoshi paused for a moment and said, "I drove it very much."

Leslie did not agree at once, and I did not reply directly

Murakami Daisaki nodded slightly and said, "What are your thoughts?"

"I..." Sadashi Murakami was late, "I think the time to join the war is not yet ripe, or we cannot fight China rashly."

As if he guessed his nephew's thoughts, Murakami Taisho's expression became gloomy.

Facing his uncle, Sadashi Murakami didn't have to say too clearly because he knew that Taisho Murakami had enough wisdom and ability to see the situation outside.

"You're right, we should indeed avoid war with China."

Sadashi Murakami sighed secretly and waited for his uncle to continue talking.

"For thousands of years, especially in the past hundred years, our relationship with China has been ups and downs. When China is weak, we will always find ways to get benefits from us; when we are strong, we will try our best to eliminate and annex us." Murakami Daisaki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The war eight years ago, the crisis three years ago, and our relationship with China has completely broken down. War is a matter of time. Now China is not Diechina a hundred years ago, and it is not China that can be easily defeated. Although I don't want to say anything to hit you, I think it is almost impossible to defeat China."

Sadashi Murakami lowered his head and looked at him as if he was so gentle.

"Even if we have nuclear weapons, we cannot defeat China, because China not only has much more nuclear weapons than us, but also has a much wider territory than us. A few nuclear warheads will make China bleeding at most, while the same few nuclear warheads are enough to destroy all the people of the Emperor. No matter when, a war breaks out with China will not be beneficial to us.

”

"But……"

"The only one who can defeat China is China itself."

Murakami Sadashi looked up and said, "Uncle means, wait for civil strife to occur in China?"

"In history, any huge empire began to collapse from the inside." Murakami Daisaki smiled coldly and said, "The opportunity was not waiting for it, but created by himself. Although we cannot defeat China on the battlefield, we can defeat China outside the battlefield."

Sadashi Murakami nodded, indicating that he understood his uncle's meaning.

"Make good use of the United States and South Korea." Murakami Taisho paused for a moment and said, "China is close to us. There are several major powers around it. Unless China wants to provoke a global war, it will not easily use nuclear weapons. Without the support of nuclear weapons, it will be difficult for China to completely defeat us in a large-scale conventional war, and it will definitely pay a very heavy price for it. As long as the leaders of my country are a little rational, they will try to avoid a full-scale war with our country. If this continues, China will definitely increase troops to the Korean Peninsula, striving to defeat the Korean and American coalition forces as quickly as possible, end the war and assist the supported Korean regime to control the entire Korean Peninsula. As long as our actions slow down a little, the war will end before the issues related to the dispatch of troops are determined."

"What uncle means is to delay time as much as possible?"

Daisuke Murakami nodded. "The United States is easy to deal with, South Korea doesn't need to consider it, you have to pay attention to one thing."

Sadashi Murakami hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the uncle talking about people in the army?"

"That's true, we must be careful of everyone around us. Even if we do a show, we must do it more decently and try to convince all soldiers that you are not against sending troops. It's just that the United States deliberately creates trouble on related issues and delays the sending of troops, which has led to our failure to send combat troops before the end of the war."

Hearing this, Sadashi Murakami suddenly realized and had to admire his uncle's wisdom.

"You can come here once, go to the mourning hall to worship your ancestors." Sadashi Murakami stood up.

Following his uncle, Sadashi Murakami went to a mourning hall dedicated to the family heroes to worship the ancestors, and then said goodbye to his uncle and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Murakami Taisho said it right, the biggest problem that Japan does not send troops is the soldiers.

Along the way, Sadashi Murakami was thinking about how to solve this problem. He knew that his uncle had pointed out the problem for him, but he would not provide him with a solution because it was the responsibility of the parents.

No matter what, you must first understand the attitude of the United States, and then you can use the United States to make a fuss.

To achieve this goal, the only way is to send people to the United States to collect intelligence. It is not to collect intelligence for intelligence agencies, but to collect intelligence for the Murakami family.

A reliable person must be sent to the United States.

Who is the reliable person?

Family members and people related to the Murakami family are definitely not good, they are too eye-catching.

After thinking about it, Murakami Satoshi only thought of one person. That is, he personally received and commended him. He fled from North Korea not long ago and made great contributions to Ryohei Tani.

Taniki Ryohei has no relationship with the Murakami family and lived in the United States for one year when he was young.

Without any doubt, he is the ideal candidate!
