Lei was a little surprised by Blessing's proactive invitation. This invitation should not have been made by Blessing. It was tantamount to indirectly exposing his identity.
Kaji Ryoharu does not have any official position in NERV. Although he has direct contact with Commander Ikari, his official position is affiliated with the Sakura government, and Kaji Ryoharu actually invites Lei to visit!
A spy from the Ministry of Internal Affairs takes the initiative to invite the leader of another country to visit the base of a hostile department. This is full of problems no matter how you think about it.
But Lei is not going to refuse. He wants to take this opportunity to sow discord between the Sakura government and NERV. The relationship between the two is not good to begin with. It only takes a little provocation to cause internal conflicts to completely break out!
The chaotic Sakura Island is the best Sakura Island.
Seeing that Lei agreed to go, Kaji Ryoji also raised his glass with a smile, and the two toasted together again. Kaji Ryoji did not stay here for long, and his goal had been achieved.
Kaji Ryoji, who had already left, was still attacked by the eyes of those congressmen. In the eyes of these politicians, this swinger wasted too much time, and many potentially successful plans would even fail because of this.
These plans are used to fund their promotions. Enforcing good governance wastes not only time but also the political lives of these MPs!
This time the official banquet is almost over, and these Sakura officials haven't even said hello. They haven't shown their faces in front of Lei yet, let alone exchanged personal numbers later.
Many Sakura officials looked at each other. Now, 'humility' means complete failure. Only by squeezing them all out can you have a chance of success!
Mid-level and low-level officials from different factions took the initiative to stop high-level officials from rival factions. They used social etiquette to block these high-ranking people in power.
The senior officials who were stopped were full of anger but could not vent it. There were many accompanying American officials at the banquet. If they vented their anger at the banquet, their political careers would be over.
They can only make these officials leave through threats with their eyes, but these middle and low-level officials just don't seem to see it. They want to buy more time for their immediate superiors.
These senior officials gritted their teeth and pulled the officials behind them to whisper something. The officials of this faction forcibly stopped certain people regardless of social etiquette. Since their superiors cannot be contacted, you people should not expect success.
Everyone dies together!
There is still half an hour before the end of the banquet, and the competition between factions has become increasingly fierce. They have already broken their skins and tried their best to keep the officials of the rival factions.
Officials who have achieved their political goals are watching this farce from a distance, and they are mercilessly ridiculing. If these officials do not receive the support of America, they will not gain an advantage in the subsequent competition.
These officials who have completed the exchange will not mind adding insult to injury. They will lie on the corpse of the loser and suck on it. The nutrients from the corpse will make them thrive.
This is cruel politics. Any loser who fails to seize the opportunity will fall into the hell of failure. Once entering the hell of failure, it means the complete death of the family behind him and himself.
No one is willing to fail or become someone else's subordinate. "Lower overcomes superior" is the norm in Sakura politics. A low-level official took the initiative to step forward while everyone was not paying attention, and got the last chance to shake hands and exchange numbers!
This low-level official knew his own strengths and weaknesses, and his tone was extremely complimentary. The first time he obtained the mobile phone number was to bend down and bow, and asked if he could disclose the phone number to some 'loyal' people.
Lei also knows politics very well. This official is ambitious. He wants to create a new faction, an absolutely pro-American faction. He wants to use everything he has in exchange for capital for progress!
Once you succeed, you can become the top politician of Sakura Island. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. At most, you will go to 'Spoke Island' or other places to stay for a long time without any hope of promotion.
But as long as this official is a little smarter and discloses the crucial mobile phone number to senior officials who have not obtained the mobile phone number, he can also get some political dividends.
But in the end, this is still a gamble!
There is a 70% chance of failure, but the remaining three levels are enough for low-level officials to risk everything. As long as they succeed, they can overcome the lower ones and all the humiliation they have experienced will disappear.
Lei agreed with his approach, and Lei also wanted to see how far a low-level official could go for power. Should he risk everything, or would he quit after getting some dividends?
No matter what choice he makes, this is a grand drama, or a very rare gambling drama. Even Lei cannot accurately predict what will happen next, which is full of uncertainty!
After the number exchange was completed, Lei also knew the careerist's name, Toshiyuki Araki, which was a very loving name. Lei believed that Mr. Araki was also a loving person.
The banquet was over, and Lei rushed to his respective rooms with the accompanying officials and bodyguards. Most of the bodyguards were scattered in various adjacent rooms, and some particularly loyal bodyguards chose to guard the door day and night.
They wanted to ensure Lei's absolute safety. They just stayed up all night. How could they have an impact on these battle-hardened soldiers? With the help of some drugs, these bodyguards can persist for two days without sleeping. If they persist for the third day, they will lose most of their fighting ability. This is a loss that outweighs the gain.
The three days ended quickly. Lei did not attend any private banquets. Lei and his officials traveled around Sakura Island and participated in some public events.
He even took the initiative to invest 20 million US dollars to restore a comic book company in old Tokyo to normal operations. Although many officials were wondering why comics? But Ray has made his position known!
If the benefits offered by Sakurajima are sufficient, the new president will not mind investing a large amount of money, but what else can Sakurajima trade?
Unless~~~!
Lei's normal schedule has ended, but he has been invited to visit the Third New Tokyo City, so only some of the accompanying officials left early, and they had to return home to deal with some matters.
The remaining bodyguards packed three carriages and took the famous 'Shinkansen' to the war fortress established by the United Nations - the Third New Tokyo City!
The group of people who rounded up the three carriages are being resented by many Sakura people. In the view of these Sakura people, the act of rounding up the carriages hinders their interests. If they are late, they will be fired directly, and the 'Shinkansen' itself is overloaded. It is very difficult to squeeze into the car.
And what Lei did just blocked some people's way of life.
