Chapter 34: His Majesty the Omnipotent Captain
Not to mention how the forgotten cross-travelers cried and screamed on the deserted tropical island. The high school students and Wang Qiu and others who traveled through time and space again and returned to the activity room of the Prefectural Hokusai High School SOS Corps also had to face the roar and anger of His Royal Highness the Commander of the SOS Corps, Suzumiya Haruhi.
——I was originally going on an exciting outdoor adventure, but was suddenly and inexplicably interrupted midway. I'm afraid anyone would be very unhappy. Not to mention the arrogant existence of Captain Haruhi Suzumiya who dominates everything in the world.
Fortunately, Kazuki Koizumi, who always wore a smiling fox face, quickly thought of a way to divert the attention of Captain Suzumiya.
"...Master, I know that you haven't had enough fun in the world of "Robinson Crusoe", and you haven't even seen Mr. Robinson. But the question is, is this the time when we can have fun? ? Look how miserable our hometown is now! ”
Pointing out the window at the ruined street scene that had just experienced a series of natural and man-made disasters such as earthquakes, heavy rains, mudslides, floods, and plane crashes in just one week due to the advent of "Death is Coming", Kazuki Koizumi looked at him with compassion on his face. Haruhi Suzumiya preached like this.
"...Our hometown Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, has become even more miserable than Hiroshima, which was hit by the atomic bomb. Almost half of our school, Prefectural North High School, collapsed, and most of our classmates are homeless. Even those Those students who have not been affected by the disaster at home don’t know how long it will take to restore running water and power supply... Suzumiya-san, don’t you have any sympathy and are not prepared to contribute to the reconstruction of our hometown, Nishimiya City?”
In front of such a great truth, Suzumiya Haruhi was immediately speechless and could only respond with a blushing face, "...Ah...No, of course I hope that Nishinomiya City can be rebuilt as soon as possible, and I am happy to contribute." I have to do my part. But the question is, how can I help in the face of such a big event? I can’t let those giants clean up the ruins! They seem to only know how to destroy!” br>
"...Don't belittle yourself like this! Captain Suzumiya! Your enthusiastic support is the greatest encouragement to the reconstruction work of Nishinomiya City!"
Kazuki Koizumi replied with a smile, "...and, as the saying goes, 'If the old doesn't go, the new won't come.' Although the recent catastrophe is cruel, it is equivalent to completing the demolition for the modernization of the city." "I wonder what Captain Suzumiya thinks about the city's post-disaster reconstruction plan? Or, what kind of city do you want to live in?" he said thoughtfully.
"...Well, of course it will make our Nishinomiya City more sci-fi and more convenient! Well, it's best to be more environmentally friendly!"
As soon as this topic was brought up, Suzumiya Haruhi became excited again, "...just like the Academy City I saw in "The Magical Index" recently! It should have wind turbines, automatic cleaning robots, hanging Rail transit... and many, many high-tech fun things ! It would be great if Nishinomiya City could become like this! Of course, it’s better not to have that treacherous hanging man! But... can such a thing become a reality? At least it needs a lot of funds!" she asked with a frown.
"...Please don't worry about these issues, Your Highness, Head!" Kazuki Koizumi smiled like a fox, "...As long as you can always stick to your own ideas, our organization will always have a way to promote the country to issue relevant policies and put them into practice." This city is built into a paradise in your mind..."
Three days later, with a request for money sent from a secret organization, the entire Japanese financial community fell into a huge commotion.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Click!"
The sound of the bamboo water bucket hitting the stones (the bamboo water receiving device commonly seen in Japanese gardens) echoed for a long time in the quiet courtyard. The cool breeze of the refreshing night blows the swaying weeping willows, bringing the fragrance of flowers to the face.
The path under your feet is paved with colorful cobblestones, formed into various exquisite geometric shapes.
Both sides of the road are paved with scattered stones, like two silvery rivers.
Further forward, there is a nursery full of flowers. The candlelight in the stone lantern is reflected in the gurgling stream and complements the bright moonlight, showing an indescribable elegance.
The proprietress, dressed in traditional kimono and elegant, stood in front of the door to greet the guests politely. There is no splendid luxury in the antique Japanese banquet hall, but it can be seen that every furnishing is carefully arranged. It is said that even the tableware must be made by famous artists...
In this secret private room of a luxuriously decorated Japanese-style "ryotei" (high-end hotel or club), a group of pampered, powerful, or billionaire Japanese financial figures are gathering together in a rare gathering, circulating a copy of a document to each other. The payment request document comes from unknown source.
However, although the environment and atmosphere of this restaurant is so peaceful, the expressions of everyone present are full of all kinds of resentment, sadness and depression.
"...Ten trillion yen? Is this just the first phase of investment in rebuilding Nishinomiya City in Hyogo Prefecture? And it's still a public building with little profit!"
Looking at the astronomical figure on the request book, an irritable old man in a kimono immediately slammed the table in anger, "... Damn it! The economy is in a recession right now! Our money didn't come from strong winds. How could you squander so much money on a project that has no profit? Rebuilding a small local city? You actually have to invent a series of money-burning gadgets such as wind power stations and automatic cleaning robots to engage in green and environmental gimmicks? This is simply better than building a highway with only bears running in the snowy fields of Hokkaido ( The real thing) is still a waste of money!”
"...Hey, what can we do? Since that lady has already said that she wants to build a high-tech city, we can't do it without paying for it! Everyone, with all due respect, although our money was not blown by the wind, But it can be blown away by a gust of wind at any time!”
A middle-aged man in a suit stood up and said slowly, "...Whether you believe it or not, this female high school student is the supreme ruler of the world. She doesn't even need to speak, she just needs to turn a thought in her head. If we think about it, our business will go bankrupt and our family will be guilty. Well, we might die in an accident. Well, or worse, because of a sudden revelation or even a fabricated scandal, we will be ruined all of a sudden, and then we will have a cerebral thrombosis and lie in a vegetative state in the hospital... You guys Aren't you afraid of such an outcome?" He spread his hands.
"...Is there no one who can resist the power of this female high school student? Mr. Koizumi." Another old man in a suit with a goatee said tentatively, "...I also know something about users of supernatural powers. The information may help them think of ways to help..."
"...Of course! After all, our country has the largest mysterious side force in the world, as well as countless aliens and future people who are active in secret."
Contrary to the expectations of everyone in the meeting, Mr. Koizumi nodded affirmatively, but then changed the subject, "...But compared with Suzumiya Haruhi, they are either too weak to be of any help, or the price they ask for will only be darker. Usually The starting price requires us to donate 20 to 30% of our wealth, and even requires our whole family to convert to a cult and be brainwashed by them day and night... Are you more willing to accept this result?"
After hearing this, there was an awkward silence in the room... After a long time, someone spoke up, "... In this case, Mr. Koizumi, in order to fulfill this female high school student's wish, we are destined to be generous. Have you spent money to eliminate disasters? ”
"...Spending money to eliminate disasters? Well, it does cost money, but we are not the only ones who need to take out our wallets!"
Mr. Koizumi raised his eyebrows and replied, "...We will contact the White House later and let the Americans pay the bulk of this expense!"
Hearing that they were going to take advantage of the American boss, everyone present suddenly took a breath, "...Is this okay?"
"...Of course! Who is this ordinary female high school student from Hyogo Prefecture in Kansai, but she is actually the supreme ruler of our planet? If Haruhi Suzumiya is unhappy, the United States may not necessarily be destroyed, but he The president definitely has nothing to do.”
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Koizumi's mouth, "...Then there are Morgan, Rockefeller, and Soros... In the last yen crisis, they made a lot of money! Now I have to let them spit out a lot. A little... I don’t know why, but it feels so good!”
However, listening to these famous surnames, the big figures in Japan's financial circles are already shaking their livers, "...Morgan, Rockefeller, Soros... Oh my God! Mr. Koizumi, do you know what you are talking about?" What? They are the behind-the-scenes rulers of the entire United States! They are more powerful than the president! As long as these guys don’t come to Japan to shear sheep, how can they blackmail them?”
"...Why not? No matter how famous they are! As long as Haruhi Suzumiya wants them to go bankrupt, they will go bankrupt!"
Before Mr. Koizumi could speak, an energetic old man stood up and waved his hand energetically, "...Haha! Forced apportionment and extortion of protection fees from the Wall Street conglomerates! This is really something that people can't even think about. What a joy to think about! If this lady had protected our country during the Pacific War, the Japanese Imperial Army would have conquered Southeast Asia and spread its power to all directions! ”
< br>
"...If Miss Haruhi Suzumiya lived in the Pacific War era, I'm afraid our Emperor Showa would have to worry about his throne! So please don't have excessive expectations." Mr. Koizumi said lightly, giving some excitement The excessive guy poured a basin of cold water on him, "... In short, please treat this female high school student who is in charge of the destiny of all mankind with the greatest respect like a god. Don't try to gain any advantage. Use her, let alone control her! Also, you'd better not use this matter to enrich yourself! Every dollar you get from Wall Street and other places must be used for the reconstruction of the disaster area in Hyogo Prefecture! Otherwise, once Haruhi Suzumiya learns the truth, no one will know what will happen next... I plan to bear the expenditure of 30 billion yen to set an example... ahem..."
He coughed twice, looked around at the people with different expressions, and then continued slowly, "...As for the second phase of the reconstruction project of Nishinomiya City in Hyogo Prefecture, we will raise another 500,000 yuan from all over the world. 100 million yen is enough! But we have to spend at least 20 trillion yen! Please don’t be stingy, anyway! This new city is built on Japanese soil. No matter how much money is spent, the meat will rot in the pot... and most of the expenses can be allocated to foreigners to pay, which is equivalent to asking the whole world to pay tribute to Japan. Money is used to build new cities. Such good things don’t happen every year..."
——Thanks to the "strategic deterrence" of a certain omnipotent goddess and a large number of strange people in the country, the Japanese in this plane are obviously more comfortable than the hard-working Japanese in Wang Qiu's world. many. Although they still often have to be sheared by the financial tycoons on Wall Street in the United States, they can also allocate fees to them in turn, forcing these financial giants to turn into philanthropists and reluctantly pay for various expenditures in Japanese society... In comparison, The Doraemon team, which is also busy with fundraising work, is now in a very sad situation.
