When Prime Minister Eisaku Satō lost the election, tanaka kakuei became the leader of a large faction of the Liberal Democratic Party.
Succeeding as president of the liberal democratic party. This position made him prime minister. During tanaka kakuei's tenure as Prime Minister,
Rong has made remarkable achievements. 1973 the oil crisis has made Japan, which relies on imported energy, worse.
Severe inflation is an ominous start for him. But he survived the crisis. 1972
In September, tanaka kakuei visited China and normalized diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland. He proposed another one.
The ambitious "Japan Islands Reconstruction Plan" was published in the form of a book. count
It is pointed out that some development areas, especially emerging industrial cities, will inevitably be included in the planning.
Land prices in this area have soared. Jinshan is such a city, and Mitsubishi Real Estate soon bought the land nearby.
In the south of Kyushu, the land price in some places has increased by 10 times. This blatant attempt to please big business owners
The law made tanaka kakuei's prestige among the people decline. He is valued by highly educated bureaucrats.
As an upstart, I don't trust him. Right-wing intellectuals' magazine Literary Spring and Autumn Annals 10 Monthly 1974.
He wrote a 60-page article entitled "Analysis of tanaka kakuei, His Money and His Accomplice", which made him lose his reputation.
That year, he bought land worth six to seven times his declared income, so the article accused him of turning to politics.
Use funds for personal purposes. "Spring and Autumn Literature and Art" also revealed his relationship with a bar girl.
Yes, the waitress gave him a lot of money to please the members of his faction. In public opinion
In the test, his support rate dropped sharply. In June, 1974, 1 1, he publicly admitted that he had gone astray.
The deal damaged the reputation of the party, and he should be responsible for it and resign.
However, his resignation does not mean the end of his power broker career. As the largest liberal democratic party
The faction leader, of course, is a power creator, because he is very interested in the people of the Prime Minister and cabinet members.
The election has the final say. Then, in February 1976, he encountered a heavy blow, which made
He was sentenced to prison, ending his political career. This is the story we want to tell-the ugliness of Lockheed.
Smell.
This incident began abroad, and a survey by the US Congress showed that Lockheed wanted to
The aircraft it produced was sold to Japan, bribing the then Japanese Prime Minister to use Nakagawa, amounting to 500 million yen.
Lockheed has two agents in Japan: one is Marubeni Corporation, which is public;
The other agent is secret. This man is a well-known broker in Japan. His name is Yu Yufu. 197 1
At the end of the year, Lockheed learned that Japan Airlines was going to use jetliners for domestic flights.
Ok, ANA is also going to buy McDonnell Douglas jets and sell them to Marubeni Co., Ltd. immediately.
The president of the company, Shan Shan Hao, instructed him to spend money on joints and squeeze out McDonnell Douglas' business. Let All Nippon Airways buy it
Their Samsung jet.
Yoshiyama Hiroshi paid a special visit to tanaka kakuei for this purpose, and promised him 500 million yen in benefits. Tanaka mankou
Promise.
Tanaka knew clearly that it was inappropriate for him to come forward personally, so he instructed Hashimoto Tōru, the Minister of Communications.
Sato, the vice minister of transportation, persuaded ANA President to grant him 654.38+600 million days if it was too narrow.
Yuan kickback, let him change his decision and buy a Samsung plane instead.
1972101October 30th, when ANA agreed to buy Samsung aircraft, Tanaka urged for money.
Lockheed delivered 500 million yen in four phases, and Marubeni sent someone to put the money in the car.
In the trunk, at four different locations in Tokyo, it was handed over to tanaka kakuei's secretary Shimonoseki Toshi Utsumi.
1in July, 973, Mr. Ke Chian, President of Lockheed Company, got another message: the Japanese government was prepared.
Buy a batch of Grumman fighters to arm Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. This is another chance to make money!
Kochian found their secret agent Yushifu and told him to try to win the business.
Eryu said that he knew a real estate agent named Cosano Kenji, who had a lot of money in Hawaii.
Production, he can have an impact on the decision makers of the Japanese government. However, Er Yu also suggested that with such a billion dollars,
You can't deal with millionaires without money. It will cost at least 500 million yen.
Koczian said: "As long as things are done, money is not a problem."
Soon after, Kenji Kosano accepted a check for $200,000 at the Los Angeles airport. In that way
Later, he became active. He also bribed Prime Minister tanaka kakuei to make the Japanese government cancel the purchase.
The decision to buy Grumman fighter was changed to buy Lockheed F- 104 fighter.
Although Lockheed spent a lot of money, it succeeded in achieving its goal. otherwise
It was the investigation of the US Congress that revealed the truth, which may never be known.
After the incident was exposed, Japanese public opinion was in an uproar.
1On July 27th, 976, Tanaka was detained by the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office. Undoubtedly, this is also for the Liberal Democratic Party.
This is a heavy blow. In order to reduce the influence on the party, Tanaka announced his withdrawal from the Liberal Democratic Party. But continue to act as
Independents stay in Congress. Of course, he continues to play the role of protector because of the LDP.
His faction still obeys his orders.
The Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office first began to investigate the ANA case, which was not just a purchase.
More importantly, buying a plane has delayed the use of jetliners on domestic routes. In order to make
In this transaction, the Ministry of Transport postponed the decision to use jets on domestic routes to All Nippon Airways.
Until everything is ready.
After the preliminary hearing, the Tokyo District Court began to hear the Lockheed case. When the court summons,
Tanaka's secretary, Ben Toshi Utsumi, and Marubeni's people all swore that they didn't know what happened.
Tanaka kakuei himself denied it. But it was exposed at the trial later, which proved that it was all about.

Chairman Fuyong Yizhou and former Deputy Minister of Communications Kato Jun. However, these four people were not affected.
Sue, either because the statute of limitations has expired, or because they have not formulated a national aviation policy.
Have a say.
This case was not pronounced until1October 26th 1982 65438+. If the president of ANA is too narrow-minded, treat him together.
The following five people were sentenced to six months to three years for accepting kickbacks of 65.438+0.6 billion yen (also considered bribery).
Probation; Hashimoto Tōru, Minister of Communications, and Sato, Deputy Minister of Communications, were convicted of "accepting bribes on request".
Crime ",were sentenced to two and a half years in prison and two years, and confiscated bribes.
The prosecution demanded that tanaka kakuei be sentenced to the maximum penalty and 500 million yen in bribes be confiscated. Okada
The judge reduced the penalty to four years, which is the longest sentence for accepting bribes. He commuted Tanaka's sentence
The reason is that the plane bought by ANA did not damage Japan's aviation industry and did not take the initiative to ask for bribes.
He served Japan for many years. Tanaka's bail is 300 million yen. Tanaka still claims to be clear.
White refused to give up his seat in parliament.
Three middlemen of Marubeni Co., Ltd. were convicted of accepting bribes, violating the foreign exchange control law and fraud.

Check.
1976 February 16, Xiao Ye Kenji was called to the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives because of the Tanaka incident.
He firmly denied any involvement.
As for Er Yu, this person was a far-right youth before the war, specializing in intimidation activities and acting as a "leader".
Guests have a bad reputation. As a supplier of imperial japanese navy in Shanghai, he made a lot of money and became a successful person after the war.
War suspects were arrested, but they were never tried. He used his own money to help establish the Liberal Democratic Party. Cheng Eryu
Yes, since 1969, he has received consulting fees of 50 million yen from Lockheed every year, but from
Don't exceed this number. The money was paid to him as a consulting fee, not as a sales agent. On the other hand,
The prosecutor estimated that the consulting fee he charged was about 654.38 billion yen, accusing him of being a broker of Lockheed.
Our company took a total of 2.5 billion yen and evaded taxes by nearly 2 billion yen.
After a delay of 10 months, Eryu 1977 first appeared in the Tokyo District Court.
The prosecutor could not link him with bribing officials, but concentrated on accusing him of tax evasion and violation of foreign exchange control.
Legal management (accepting large fees from American companies without authorization from the Bank of Japan). According to the indictment,
Er Yu has been Lockheed's secret consultant since 1958. He didn't sign the contract, and always.

Confirmed his tax evasion. On the other hand, the prosecution could not explain how Eryu turned Lockheed into a listed company.
The company's money flowed to politicians and officials.
People will naturally guess that a political and economic scandal like this will first make tanaka kakuei
Rong's prestige in the whole country is discredited. Indeed, the investigation made by Literature Chunqiu 1974 forced him to resign.
The position of prime minister. On the day he was sentenced, the opposition organized demonstrations in 230 places across the country.
All right, 350,000 people attended, demanding Tanaka's resignation as a member of parliament. In Tokyo, demonstrators were in Meiji

A heavy blow, but politicians don't think so. As a politician, most politicians sympathize with him.
Whether his money is "dirty" depends on how he spends it. Watanabe also said, "In
Politically, is there anyone as trustworthy and fascinating as Tanaka? "
The repercussions of the Lockheed scandal can also be seen in the elections: in the House of Representatives elections of 1983 and 12.
