Chapter 1689 1691 [Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight]
After the Triad Society was in civil strife due to the sudden death of its president Muranishi Koichi, Xiang Nan took Lili, Xiuxiu and Caizi on a trip. It’s a trip in name, but actually it’s a way to avoid the limelight.
As for the two maid cafes, they are in charge of the deputy manager Ajie. He has been the deputy manager for more than a year, and now it is time to take charge of his own business.
This is also an opportunity to train him. After all, Xiang Nan is not an old hen, so he cannot always protect Ajie. He should be allowed to go out and experience the world.
Furthermore, the Triads are currently busy with civil strife and have no time to trouble him. Moreover, Ajie is now doing a legitimate business, which is reasonable, legal and protected.
No matter how arrogant the triads are, there will always be a limit. Otherwise, it will attack and kill indiscriminately, and once it arouses public anger, it will be its end.
?In real life, with the promulgation of the "Law on Countermeasures against Violent Groups" and the "Regulations on Exclusion of Violent Groups", the life of gangs in Japan is becoming increasingly difficult.
They are increasingly restricted. Once they are identified as gang members, they are not allowed to have bank accounts, take loans, rent houses, or even allow companies and citizens to have interests with them.
?This makes it difficult for gang members to move around, suffer discrimination, and their income has been greatly reduced.
In 2017, news broke in Japan that a 55-year-old team leader of a Yamaguchi-gumi branch took two cadres aged 59 and 52 respectively to steal goods worth 4,000 yuan from a supermarket. . After his arrest, he complained that the organization was short of working capital and had to commit theft.
?From this we can see that in Japan, gangs cannot cover the sky with just one hand.
…
Xiangnan, Lili, Xiuxiu, and Ayako first went to Mount Fuji, and then went to Izu, Hakone, Nara, Kyoto, Nagoya, Kagoshima, Hokkaido and other places to have a good tour of Japan.
?In fact, although they have been in Japan for several years, especially Xiuxiu, who has been here for nearly eight years, this is their first time traveling around Japan.
The reason is simple. They had no money and no time to travel before. For example, when Xiuxiu first arrived in Japan, her aunt persuaded her to go to a nightclub to accompany her.
It turns out that although her aunt returned to Japan as an orphan from World War II, she couldn''t find a decent job here because she had no skills and a language barrier, so her life was very difficult.
That''s why she asked Xiuxiu to come over and help her make money as a bartender. It can be said to be quite evil. During the years when she worked at Han Meiren, she certainly had no money or time to travel around.
After marrying Eguchi, although she had money and time, Eguchi was a careerist and a workaholic. He devoted himself to his career and had no time to take her around. Therefore, she has been in Japan for so long, except for Tokyo. Almost never been anywhere.
So this time, they who have money and leisure are naturally willing to take a good stroll.
?They wandered wherever they thought. In this way, their whereabouts were unpredictable, and they could avoid being tracked while also having fun. It can be said that they were quite comfortable.
While playing, their relationship became increasingly close.
?Especially Xiang Nan and Xiu Xiu. He had certain opinions about Xiu Xiu before. Later, she would rather die than regret marrying him, which greatly changed his view of her. Taking advantage of this trip, their relationship achieved a breakthrough.
After Lili found out, she didn''t say anything and acquiesced to the situation.
After all, she now needs Xiang Nan''s protection, so she can''t be too willful.
…
?While they were traveling, the dispute over the triad presidents in Tokyo was also becoming extremely fierce.
?In order to compete for the position of president, the bosses of these branches also went all out, recruiting troops and fighting and killing. Among them, the Watakawa group fought the most fiercely with the Kumamoto group and the Yamatake group. The three of them are all competing for the position of president, so they also regard each other as rivals.
?In order to ensure that they can ascend to power smoothly, they try every means to get rid of each other, so they continue to fight.
In less than half a month, there have been seven or eight fights in public places, on average once every two days, and each time someone was killed or injured. According to Ajie''s report, Kabukicho is also in chaos now.
?Those gangs fought fiercely to grab territory, making people in Kabukicho panic. The guests were too scared to come, and the business was seriously affected, causing the merchants and employees there to complain.
The civil strife within the Triads also gave other gangs a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Many gangs, such as the Sumitomo Society, the Inagawa Society, the North Star Society, and the Shochiku Society, also took the opportunity to expand their territory.
It can be said that the underground world in Tokyo is now in chaos.
Newspapers, radio and TV stations report on gangs killing each other every day. Frequently, passers-by were so frightened that they turned pale and fled in all directions, arousing great public indignation.
?Political circles and the police are also facing great pressure and have to take action to suppress it. However, interests come first, and the pressure from the police and politicians has not stopped them. The struggle has only become more covert.
…
Xiang Nan and the four of them have been shopping outside for nearly half a year, almost all of Japan. From Okinawa in the south to Hokkaido in the north, we have almost visited them all.
I have to say that Japan’s customs and customs still have merit.
After walking around for a while, they returned to Tokyo after learning that the new president of the Triad Society was elected.
This time, Taro Watakawa still failed to win the position of president. Among the seven elders, only three chose him. The other four people chose Ikeda Hiroshi, the eldest brother of the Shinshinkai.
The Shinshinkai is also one of the Triad branches. It is headquartered in Shimizu District, Shizuoka Prefecture. Its strength is far inferior to that of the Tokawa-gumi headquartered in Tokyo.
After all, the economy of Shizuoka Prefecture is not as prosperous as Tokyo. Kabukicho alone is comparable to a cornucopia. If the Tokawa Group has money, it will naturally have people, and it will naturally be strong.
?However, in this presidential battle, Taro Watakawa still lost to Hiroshi Ikeda.
?Even though he has been fighting very hard, he not only pleases Ohtawara, the umbrella of the triad, but also donates a lot of money and beautiful women to him, and also takes down several competitors with force.
Unexpectedly, he lost to Hiroshi Ikeda who was far inferior to him in the end. This made Taro Watagawa very dissatisfied and angry.
He couldn''t figure out how he could not compare to Hiroshi Ikeda in the corner in terms of strength, skill, courage, and contribution. It really hurt his heart.
In fact, as long as he has studied politics, he should understand that this is the way to balance.
The gang will not allow one person to dominate. In that case, power will lose its grip and converge towards one person. In that case, the gang will become this person''s private property, and others will become his tools.
?Hence, in order to avoid this, a balanced strategy must be used. Every time you choose a president, you do not choose the strongest one.
The reason why Taro Watakawa cannot become president is not because he is not strong enough, but precisely because he is too strong, so the Presbyterian Council will try every means to suppress him.
