Kaan-san says while blushing and on the verge of tears.
Worry not, Kaan did call me. My granddaughter is reaching the age of conceit, so I gave her various advice, but she’s not listening to her grandfather. I think that my granddaughter would obediently listen if it’s from the head of Kouzuki house, however. She will be coming over to your mansion, please look after her, he said Kaan-san’s Grandfather called Jii-chan? Kaan sent over antique brandy as thanks. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about it
Jii-chan says jokingly, but.
On the other hand, I want you to keep a secret from him what is it?
Kaan-san asks.
I no longer drink brandy. He probably suggested it out of his mental image of when I was young and drinking alcohol
Jii-chan stopped drinking brandy after getting Ruriko’s father killed.
Kaan-san’s Grandfather didn’t know that.
Therefore, I thought of handing over the brandy Kaan gave me to Misuzu and that young man. Keep it a secret from him
Jii-chan said.
Chapter 866. High Life JFK
Let’s return to the nobility discussion
Jii-chan said.
You’re attending the best school for young ladies in Japan. Your school became like that because of Kaan, the late Kanou-kun, and my influence
The big three?
During the post-war economic growth, Japan’s society made a great paradigm. To put it simply, the traditional nobility gave birth to the Meiji restoration, and the bourgeois rank of wealthy people collapsed. Creating a new class in society. Let me say it beforehand, those that collapsed were only a portion. Most of the nobility have survived by changing along with the time. We risked our lives to protect our family Jii-chan’s story must be interesting to the young ladies.
Their existence as young ladies is proof that the nobility of Japan survived.
It’s identical to how Kabuki and other traditional arts still exist to this day. Kabuki was also in the precarious state during the occupation of the allied forces in Japan. It just happened that a commissioned officer of the US army liked kabuki, so it remained. Even so, they created some absurd restrictions such as I don’t like the feudal tales, or it doesn’t suit the Christian ethics and such So that happened. The occupation army complained about Shogi. The rule where you can steal a piece from your opponent is the abuse of prisoners. It’s a savage game, was their reason for banning it
Huh?
Shogi is savage?
If you ban it for that reason, then what about the current computer games?
Did you know? McArthur said, In science, arts, religion, and culture, America and Germany are at their 40-50’s, their prime of life, but Japan is still a young man in their teens. Japan should learn from the West, and the West should guide Japan.
Japan is still a child compared to the West?
That’s how foolish he sees Japanese people are. Well, calling the people bumpkins would be better
Jii-chan speaks in displeasure.
Although, that was a blessing for the Japanese
Huh?
Before the war, Franklin D Roosevelt created this new deal policy to recover from the Great Depression. It’s something you learned from your history classes. It’s the beginning of Keyne’s modified capitalism gaining political power. Instead of entrusting the business to market freely, the administration intervenes and redistribute the assets. The people using the new deal policy were all young people burning in idealism. However, in reality, the new deal policy isn’t always successful. The societal structure so far changed by political power, it was hard. The society will not obey as the government official imagined, and America, who couldn’t complete the change, participated in the war War. They needed a large number of materials for the military. Europe’s industry was on decline during the war. America was using all of the allied nations’ military goods. The ordinary citizens endure during the time of war. They introduced daylight savings time and bring in women to work. When America joined the second world, war.and Hawaii was attacked, the Americas hardly had anyone in the front. They keep their industrial production with the pretext of its war, and they were able to change the system in their country America changed during the war? If it was during peace, then there are lots of people opposing. It disturbs those who hold vested interests. However, during the war, they can take them down with are you allied with the enemy nation? They can restructure the government to their liking
Jii-chan said.
In the end, Franklin Roosevelt was saved by the war. If there was no war, then perhaps his New Deal policy will never become the system. However, it happened. I don’t believe in the conspiracy theories that Franklin Roosevelt rushed to war with Japan for himself. A single president’s forecast changed history. It’s all a coincidence that everything went as Franklin Roosevelt expected yeah.
But why is Franklin Roosevelt’s name is said in full all the time?
Nii-san. In America, there was another president with the name of Roosevelt
Luna read my thoughts and whispered.
Theodore Roosevelt has a hobby of creating teddy bears Oh, right
She knows a lot.
Then, during the postwar period, the American occupants using their political measures all survived with the New Deals policy. Therefore, in their ideal minds, they started teaching the poor Japanese people who still are 12-years-old compared to themselves. To us, they’re just idealistic children, and they were the ones ignorant of the world. However, some sympathized with the Americans among the Japanese. People who say that the Americans were right, that Japan will stay as a child if Americans don’t guide them, that everything Americans tell them is for good. No, even now, most survive by having plain ill-will in their head Jii-chan said. They drowned in American culture, longing for the flashy and beautiful life in movies. However, those who say that it’s their way of life are the middle class in America. It wasn’t the age where everyone has a camera, like now. There are hardly any people traveling overseas. It’s not the real-life in America, it’s just the ideal life shown in movies. In fact, America still contradicts the world even now. They’re distorted. They have a social class in poverty. But they don’t convey that.They win over the Japanese by showing the paradise There was no internet back then.
The imitations from movies are different from reality.
Showing American movies to the Japanese was one of McArthur’s political measures. He knows the power of film. If we’re talking about telecast from back then where the politicians and the president are known to the masses, it was because there’s a newsreel before the movie itself shows
News before the movie?
Wheelchair was created for President Franklin Roosevelt, who had his lower half paralyzed. In short, he was disabled. However, most of the American citizens didn’t know that
Huh? The president’s in a wheelchair, and yet nobody knows?
He could stand up from his wheelchair and walk a single step. Therefore, the newsreel shows him walking that one step to the platform. They’re not showing the wheelchair. Therefore, most of the citizens think that he can walk
So the video shows the impression that he can still walk.
America is a vast land that not even the president can go all over the whole nation. The best he could do is move around a vast city and another. One can read his political measures in the newspaper. They can hear him over radios. However, the majority of the people only see him moving in newsreels
Haa.
Actually, in the movie Yankee Doodle Dandy, produced during the war, there was a scene where James Cadney, disguised as Franklin Roosevelt, tap dancing on the floor. If the people know that Franklin Roosevelt lives in a wheelchair, then they won’t make that scene. They’ll see that and won’t laugh at it. It’s the worst kind of joke If they make a scene where the president, who is paralyzed below, tap dancing.
