With the rise of Japan's economy, the United States' trade deficit with Japan has continued to expand in recent years.

The Japanese waving a lot of money to buy American companies in the United States and buying houses and land.

There are even rumors that the Japanese have bought half of the United States.

With the influx of Japanese machinery manufacturing and electronic products into the United States, capital has entered the United States and annexed American companies, causing a significant impact on traditional American industries, countless factories went bankrupt and workers were unemployed.

Under such circumstances, anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States also became high.

Even American politicians can easily be elected as long as they are running for elections, as long as they try their best to scold Japan and shout slogans to boycott Japanese goods. The trade deficit between the United States and Japan continues to increase, and finally evolves from a trade friction into a trade war.

At such a time, if such a thing happens, everyone in the Japanese government knows what's going on.

"Last year, Toshiba's trade volume in the United States reached US$2.4 billion, and the trade volume of the entire Mitsui Group exceeded US$5 billion..." said the head of Mitsui Group.

Toshiba is Japan's largest export trade volume to the United States.

From electronic products to mechanical products, Toshiba's products cover too wide a range of products.

It just happened to give Americans another excuse.

"Now Americans not only want to be fined! They want to take this opportunity to resolve their trade deficit with our country politically!" The head of Toshiba Company also pointed out the reasons for the attacks of Americans.

Americans are too shameless.

Their products are not competitive and they cannot survive in the market, but they are blamed.

"Now it's not about the impact of the trade deficit, but the US government is forcing us to hand over the person!" Takeshita roared.

"People have long since gone, so I have to ask the Americans! Maybe the Americans have controlled them and forced us to hand over the person!" Toshiba's person in charge was also angry.

This prime minister is not tough at all.

Once Toshiba is dealt with by the US government, they will attack other manufacturing companies in Japan next.

The Japanese government had previously forced the signing of the square agreement to allow the whole world to bear American debts through exchange rate changes.

"What's your attitude?" Takeshita Tori became angry, "Do you think the government would like to see something like this happen?"

He felt that this boss was quite frustrated.

Because of the constant accusation by the outside world of bribery and romantic incidents, Yasuhiro Nakasone retired, so he chose Takeshita Toshita, who was good at playing with power, as his successor. In May 1987, when Takeshita Toshita was appointed as the secretary-general of the Liberal Democratic Party, he held a political reception. He used the method of selling entertainment tickets to raise meeting fees and received 2 billion yen in a row, which fully demonstrated his economic and political strength.

However, no one knew at that time that the money was all bribed by Takeshita.

The Rikulut incident, which left Takeshita in a desperate situation, has not yet broken out.

Takeshita has rich means in China, but he is also very helpless about the behavior of a gadfly like an American father.

"Americans lost hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock market crash two months ago, and they want to divert their attention now."

"That's not what their consortiums do? Now their stock market has recovered, and what about our stock market?" said the person in charge of Mitsui coldly.

Others will be afraid of climbing to the bottom of the boat, but they are not afraid.

Mitsui Group's strength in Japan is strong enough.

When facing their attitude, Zuxiadeng was angry and couldn't get angry.

In the United States, President Reagan is listening to a report from Treasury Secretary Baker, "So, our trade deficit is still expanding, and the trade deficit with Japan is growing the fastest..."

In the last year, the United States had the largest trade deficit with Japan.

Especially Japanese cars and electronic products are very popular almost all over the world.

"Can't our domestic companies solve their problems and improve their competitiveness?" Reagan was furious.

Baker shook his head, "Our production costs are higher than those of Japan..."

It is not only a matter of production costs, but more importantly, companies in the United States hope to get higher profits.

The most affected are General Motors, etc., which are the major military contractors of the US Department of Defense, and are behind the consortiums that control the lifeline of the US economy.

"All industry associations hope that the government will come up with policies to support domestic products to prevent cheap Japanese products from entering the country, causing more companies to go bankrupt and more workers to lose their jobs..." Baker said.

What can Reagan say about such a thing?

Global economic integration was proposed by the United States, and was originally just to turn Europe into a supporting role for the United States.

Now, as the Japanese protectors, the American economy has been poked a huge hole by the Japanese under their protection.

"His Excellency President, we can take this opportunity to impose sanctions on Toshiba Group and other related companies on the grounds of violating the banned equipment and foundations provided to socialist countries by violating the Batumi embargo...." After Baker left, President Reagan convened his own think tank, hoping to have a countermeasure.

If there is fair competition, everyone knows that domestic American companies can compete with Japanese companies in some high-tech fields.

For ordinary consumer electronic products, the domestic cost of the US is much higher than that of the Japanese.

In the United States, even many military-industrial units are willing to choose equipment from Japan, with good technical performance, cheap prices, and more importantly, durability and not strict environmental requirements.

"Use the Toshiba incident?" Reagan frowned.

As the president of a world superpower, he is still a little unwilling to do such a thing, which is too unauthentic.

"His Excellency the President, everything can give way in the face of national interests. For their interests, the Japanese exported top strategic processing equipment to our enemies for the sake of their profits, just for tens of millions of dollars. According to estimates, to reopen the gap with the Soviets and maintain our leading edge, the government must invest 20-30 billion US dollars in the technical field of nuclear submarines..."

Another consultant said.

"These Japanese are greedy for small profits, but they bring such a big hidden danger to our national security. A caesarean section is not enough to apologize! These losses must be borne by Japan! Without our protection, they would not be able to develop!"

Another consultant said gritting his teeth.

It is precisely because of the protection of the United States that Japan can develop rapidly after the war.

Even in order to give the Japanese government funds for development, the US government interfered, the Japanese government did not even make any compensation for the severe disaster caused by the invasion of China. Even many Class A war criminals escaped the punishment of the International Court of Justice...

The United States supported Japan in order to surround China and defend against the Soviet Union's attack on the United States from the Pacific.

The result was good. Japan used the United States' support for them and developed rapidly based on the European and American markets. In just a few decades, it developed into the second largest economy after the United States!

"Supporting Japan is for the national interests of the United States. These bastards do not want to repay their kindness, but instead harm us and must be severely punished!"

Almost all consultants felt that the Japanese must be severely punished.

As the leader of the capitalist world, the United States takes the elimination of socialist existence as its responsibility.

The result was good. The Japanese, who were protected by the United States and supported them continuously, and even the national defense did not need to worry about, actually cheated the American father.

It is tolerant, but who is tolerant?

"If it is not dealt with seriously, more and more Japanese companies will continue to provide China and the Soviet Union with banned technology and strategic equipment for money... One Soviet Union will make us unable to deal with it, and another powerful China... By then, European countries will be out of our control! Now the European community is becoming more and more active..."

Since World War II, due to the threat from the Soviet Union, Europe has had to rely on the United States across the Atlantic Ocean as backing.

During World War II, it was not supported by the United States, and Europe was long been killed by Hitler.

As the US's control deepened, the European economy was disintegrated by the US and could only become a vassal of the US.

These countries are naturally not convinced and are constantly making trouble.

Just like the French provided nuclear technology to Iraq back then.

The United States cannot clean up France. If it cannot even clean up a little Japan under their control, how can it be the leader in the future?

"Not only should we impose a fine of US$15 billion on Toshiba as planned, we must also increase their fines for exporting banned equipment to China, and fined US$20 billion to make up for the technology investment we need to invest in maintaining our superiority to the Soviet Union; at the same time, we must add 200% tariffs on all products imported by Toshiba, stop importing any Toshiba products for five years, close all Toshiba factories in the United States, and completely drive Toshiba out of the United States..."

"Toshiba has sold a lot of products in our country." Someone said worriedly.

If Toshiba is driven out, its domestic counterparts in the United States will have a larger market.

In this way, the unemployment rate can be effectively controlled and the trade deficit with Japan can be alleviated.

"Let Toshiba provide permanent free after-sales service to all the products they previously sold in the United States..." said the consultant who initially proposed sanctions to Shiba.

Everyone gasped.

In this way, Toshiba has no way to go bankrupt.

However, Toshiba is bankrupt and American capital can acquire Toshiba.

Don't they like to acquire American companies?

Why can't the United States acquire bankrupt Japanese companies?

"Not only Toshiba, we must conduct a comprehensive investigation. All Japanese companies that provide socialist countries with violations of Batumi regulations must be fully sanctioned for these bold Japanese companies..." Some consultants felt that it was not enough to just deal with Toshiba.
