Chapter 309 Resignation
"Everyone, the crisis has been resolved."
The Prime Minister's residence is Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
In the conference room, the Prime Minister told the news from Kyoto to the ministers in the cabinet.
However, facing this news.
The expressions on the cabinet minister's faces were a little different, and the cabinet minister spoke out the uneasiness in everyone's hearts.
"Prime Minister, can you confirm the authenticity of this information? After all..."
The deaths of two consecutive important members of the cabinet have severely damaged the morale of the cabinet ministers. The higher the authority and the more powerful people are, the more afraid they are when facing death. Because they have too many, they are naturally unwilling to give up all this easily.
"I know all your doubts."
In fact, not to mention the ministers in the cabinet, even the Prime Minister himself was skeptical of the security report Sakai made.
After all, Aso's death was too strange, and the Minister of Defense died directly in the heavily guarded official residence. It is said that when he died, there were priests from the Meiji Temple around him, but they still could not stop the death of the Minister of Defense.
Thinking of this, the Prime Minister covered his faintly achesy belly, and a thought that had been brewing since Minister Aso's bizarre death emerged again.
"To be honest, everyone, since the beginning of this year, my physical condition has begun to become extremely bad. The long-term coliform inflammation has had a serious impact on my daily life. In addition, in recent times, the fact that ghosts and gods have caused serious illnesses to become worse. Since a few days ago, severe coughing up blood will occur every day..."
In the conference room, when the Prime Minister suddenly explained his physical condition at this time, the expressions on the faces of the cabinet members showed surprise.
However, some keen ministers have seen some signs.
They looked at each other and saw the meaning of something bad from each other's eyes.
However, ignoring the noise of the surrounding ministers, the Prime Minister continued to say on his own: "Considering that my serious illness now has affected my daily work and may even affect the decisions to decide Japan's future in the future, I decided to resign from the position of Prime Minister after a painful struggle."
"Why, so suddenly..."
"Prime Minister, the new election is about to..."
"No, if you suddenly resign as prime minister at this time, it will have a serious impact on the subsequent party elections!"
Hearing the news from the Prime Minister, the entire cabinet minister was in an uproar.
Even this shock has surpassed the fear brought by Keiko.
Once the Prime Minister resigns at this time, a new round of elections must be launched. At that time, the entire Japanese political arena will usher in huge changes. As the new Prime Minister comes to power, the positions of these cabinet ministers will be unstable.
"Please stop persuading you."
Looking at the uproar in the conference room, the Prime Minister's attitude was extremely firm.
"With my current physical condition, I am no longer suitable to continue to be in this position and cause disaster to the country after I continue to do it."
Of course, the reason for the Prime Minister's resignation is naturally impossible to be really due to physical factors.
As the Prime Minister of Japan, he enjoys the most complete medical system in the entire country, and any cutting-edge treatment in the world is within reach.
Although colorectal cancer is not a minor illness, with the cutting-edge medical system, conservative treatment can at least ensure that the disease will not have serious problems.
The real reason why he chose to fire at this point in time was naturally because of Huizi's phone call.
This is a speculation made by the Prime Minister's family after night calculations and discussions.
Of course, Sakai who was heading to Kyoto has confirmed that Keiko's crisis has been lifted.
However, for security reasons, the Prime Minister decided to temporarily retreat from his position once he announced his resignation.
Huizi's phone goal changed, and he can also observe whether the crisis has really passed through the "treatment" period and then choose a suitable time to come back.
Although Huizi's crisis is terrible, it also helps the Prime Minister to clear some obstacles in some ways.
Originally, in the Liberal Democratic Party, except for him, Deputy Prime Minister Aso and the Minister of Defense were both quite threatening to him.
However, because of Huizi's relationship, they were all dead on the phone.
Without these two people, he has a deeper grasp of the party, and even without the identity of the prime minister, he can influence the cabinet's decisions through other methods.
"For the future of the country and to live up to the expectations of the people, I hope that everyone here will not persuade you anymore. The most important thing at the moment is to select the next successor. Although the opposition party is not worth worrying about, they also need to be careful of their small actions."
Hearing the Prime Minister’s reminder, the cabinet ministers came to their senses.
Then he fell into a debate again.
Since they cannot retain the Prime Minister's determination to dismiss, they must ensure that their rights will not be affected after resigning.
In the conference room, I looked at the minister who was in chaos again.
A faint sarcasm flashed across the Prime Minister's mouth.
...
"The Japanese political 'earthquake' has been heard, and the Prime Minister announced his sudden resignation!"
The next morning, the entire Japan was shocked by the news that the Prime Minister suddenly resigned.
Many people didn't understand why in just one night, the Prime Minister, who was originally sitting in the seat, suddenly announced his resignation.
"...I'm sorry, due to physical factors, I have to report this news to you at this time... Due to the serious illness, I have to make a judgment on resigning from the position of Prime Minister. In the future, I will work hard to treat my body and wait until it improves before making the next decision..."
On TV, the Prime Minister made a report of his resignation in a sad tone.
"Resign?!"
Kyoto, Metropolitan Police Department.
Looking at the Prime Minister who was in a sad tone on the TV screen, an inexplicable meaning flashed across Sakai's face.
It is different from most people who don’t know the truth.
He had a little guess about the reason for the Prime Minister's resignation.
But I didn't expect that the turmoil caused by Keiko Watanabe was so great that she had trapped her in the laboratory of Yoshihiko, a small island in the suburbs.
The Prime Minister still made such a decisive decision.
It can be expected that with the Prime Minister's resignation, the entire Tokyo political arena will usher in an unprecedented huge shock, and many people on the table may be dismissed.
However, all this did not have much impact on Sakai.
