Although, their opinions on their plans disagree.
And so, the bureaucrats reach out to the politicians. They make contact with the politician they see as this man will become big soon, and try to teach their ideas to them. It’s not just with the ruling party. There could be a regime change, and it’s also possible that there will be protests against the current administration, and so they secretly make contact with the opposition party. The bureaucrats moving behind the scenes is considered a problem Why?
I asked.
Don’t bureaucrats want to make the country better?
But in the system, the ‘state bureaucrats’ are the hands and feet, not the ‘brains’ that determine the direction of the country. It should be the elected representatives of the people who control the running of the state, the legislators, and I guess a lot of people can’t accept that the bureaucrats seem to be in control of the politicians Margo-san said.
Besides, this is obvious but politicians and bureaucrats often make mistakes
Mistakes?
After the war, Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry’s view was that ‘Japan should not develop its auto industry.’
Why?
But, aren’t there a lot of car industries in Japan?
The twins asked. Margo-san;
But, that’s how the bureaucrats think at that time. They say that Japan should only import parts and assemble them locally. They call it to knock out production. In fact, there was a time when they built a Renault car like that and used it in the country Margo-san said.
They thought that it should just be Toyota and Nissan left in the automobile industry. So all the small car companies that were formed after the war were either absorbed by the big two or forced by the government to go out of business. In fact, several companies have been absorbed. So, Honda proved that it is a company that can aggressively export and earn foreign currency to get rid of MITI’s demands. Honda started out with motorcycles, but the Japanese government didn’t believe that Japanese heavy industry products could be sold overseas until they started selling to the West. Before the war, Japan’s exports were all light industrial goods like the spinning industry, and Japan was dependent on imports for heavy industrial machinery. Of course, they made machines domestically, but they never imagined that they would be able to export them overseas, especially to Europe and the United States, the home of the auto industry Well of course! Everyone knew that America was the home of motorization and that there were a lot of big, American cars on the road from the movies. It would have been a dream come true for people in those days to be able to export cars to the U.S, an automobile powerhouse after Japan had lost the war in terms of both technology and production capacity Nei says while looking at her laptop.
It often happens where the vision of the bureaucrats for the state is different from the reality. So the government and bureaucrats, especially among Japanese companies that are strong exporters, do nothing but drag their feet. They take pride in the fact that they sold our products abroad on their own, without any help from the government. They say politicians and bureaucrats are useless Margo-san said.
My father don’t trust politicians and bureaucrats either
Mariko, the young lady of Torii electronics has said.
Yes, most of the politicians and bureaucrats in our place are failures. That’s obvious. Japan’s current prosperity is largely due to the efforts of the private sector, not to politicians and bureaucrats. That’s the truth. However.
Margo-san looked at Mariko.
Your father doesn’t ignore the politicians and bureaucrats either, doesn’t he? He’s a man of business after all
That’s true, the politicians make all sorts of appeals through the business world
Yes. They can’t be ignored. But still, it’s the politicians and bureaucrats that move this country. No matter how hard the private sector work out, they cannot change the country. Like in foreign country negotiations, defense, police, infrastructure improvement, and others. Some politicians are foolish enough to say that everything should be outsourced to the private sector, but the private sector has to be sure to make a profit and the loss of other services can bankrupt a company. The idea that ‘private sector wisdom’ is the right thing to do in any field, and that ‘bureaucrats are just a bunch of fools protecting their vested interests’ is wrong. Because in the case of the private sector, all the successes stand out, but the companies that fail go bankrupt and aren’t anything left, and in the case of government work, all the failures are highlighted. I mean, they take it for granted that they succeed as planned That’s why, when successful private sector executives enter politics with the idea of using the wisdom of the private sector to improve politics, they usually fail spectacularly. Because it’s all different from a corporation, in terms of size, purpose, and methods. In business, if you see the project as a failure, then you can cut it down right away, but in the world of politics, most of it is impossible to take down. The difference between business, and clients, against the nation and citizens is huge. If you don’t know that, then becoming a politician is truly terrifying Nei said.
Oh right, there was that school principal in our place coming from the private sector to the public appeal.
Eri-chan, don’t go further than that
The twins smiled wryly.
I don’t think that Japan’s bureaucracy system is better but we can’t do anything but use it. We haven’t created a newer social system than democracy yet
Margo-san said.
Therefore, the case this time is a heavy one. A portion of the bureaucracy thinks that they should have the Miko power
The bureaucrats from the National Police Agency, Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications are acting recklessly.
As a matter of fact, it’s a plan for a coup. The person wasn’t thinking that way, however. They simply thought that the special power isn’t in the hands of the government, that it’s a problem to let Kouzuki house monopolize it, and so they want to shelter Tsukiko-san under the country’s power. However, the fact that they acted by themselves and didn’t consult with the minister shows doubtful behavior. If they use the Miko power, they will be able to take control of the prime minister That’s correct.
I mean, they sure are idiots. They thought that they could outsmart the police and Kouzuki SS, threaten Yo-chan, and take Yomi-chan away like that
Nei said.
Furthermore, they hired such low-ranked agents
Margo-san said. I realized.
Maybe, someone in the government used us to lure out those bureaucrats in opposition?
Leaking the existence of the Miko power, purposely sending out low-level agents.
Using us to take out such problematic bureaucrats.
If that’s the case.
Kou-sama, please hold your anger
Tsukiko said.
We know about it
Huh?
That’s why Tsukiko-chan, Yomi-chan, Luna-chan, and Koyomi-chan hasn’t been speaking since earlier
Nei said.
Right.
These girls can read the minds of people, so.
They perhaps already know Kudou-papa’s plan from the beginning.
That’s why Yomi already read that there’s something about to happen when Kudou-papa got in the car.
Yomi’s been quiet the whole day
Yomi who’s usually loud.
She’s quiet today.
And, when Yomi returned. She conveyed her memories to Tsukiko and the girls.
Luna and Koyomi-chan know that something’s happening.
But, are you sure about this? Aren’t they using Yomi?
I said.
