Rising pressure The U.S. and China have begun to exert serious pressure on Zipangcoin's expanding influence. The influence was first directed at Mitsubishi Corporation, not Mitsui, and the two countries began to cooperate and use economic means to reduce Zipangcoin's international presence. The U.S. sought to maintain its dollar-based economic sphere, while China sought to retain its influence in Asia.
• U.S. officials: "We cannot stand idly by and watch the rise of the Zipangcoin. If Mitsubishi Corporation becomes the center of it, we may be able to bring the whole of Asia under its influence."
• Chinese official: "If Japan stands at the center of Asia and begins to form an economic bloc in Asia, our influence will be threatened. This is unforgivable." In response to this situation, Mitsubishi Corporation and Zipangcoin operators Nanjo Kazuma and Sugawara Shigeru begin scrambling to strengthen relations with other Asian countries.
2. Nanjo and Sugawara's Determination
Nanjo's Vision Kazuma Nanjo believed that Mitsubishi Corporation's position as the center of Asia was essential to the success of Zipangcoin. He was convinced that economic independence and strong cooperation among Asian nations would be the most effective means of countering American and Chinese pressure. • Kazuma Nanjo: "By involving all of Asia, we can become economically independent and stand up to the pressure of the U.S. and China. Our first priority is to broaden our influence and build trust." Nanjo had a new proposal for the major Asian countries to form an Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere based on the Zipangcoin. To achieve this goal, he needed to deepen ties and build cooperative relationships with each country. Sugawara's Strategy Shigeru Sugawara, also a member of the Mitsubishi Corporation, took on the role of negotiating directly with Asian countries to help promote the Zipangcoins. He developed a strategy not only for commercial gain, but also to spread Japanese pride throughout Asia and to mobilize the economic power of the region. • Shigeru Sugawara: If the Zipangcoin spreads, Japan will be a driving force in the Asian economy. We must unite with the Asian nations now in order for us to have a firm influence in the region." Nanjo and Sugawara set out to revitalize the economies of Asia as a whole and create a new economic order based on the Zipangcoin.
3. Negotiations with Asian Countries
First Negotiations Nanjo and Sugawara visited major Asian economies, particularly Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and negotiated directly with the governments of each country. They explained how the Zipangcoins would benefit their economies and explored avenues for mutual cooperation. • Indonesian officials: "The Zipangcoin has the potential to breathe new life into our economy. But we cannot ignore the pressure from the U.S. and China." Nanjo explained the technical stability of the Zipangcoin and its advantages as a digital currency, emphasizing that it offers participating countries financial independence and opportunities for economic growth. • Kazuma Nanjo: "What we are proposing is not just the use of currencies. This is about linking economies across Asia and creating a new framework for growth together." Through these negotiations, Nanjo and Sugawara gradually won the trust of the Asian countries.
4. Severe Pressure and Strengthening of Alliances
Overcoming American and Chinese Pressure The U.S. and China were doing everything in their power to stop the spread of the Zipangcoin, but Nanjo and Sugawara's negotiation activities took the form of easing that pressure. With the increasing participation of Asian countries, the U.S. and China gradually became unable to ignore the Zipangcoin and were forced to formulate a new strategy to stop its spreading influence. • Chinese officials: "We must not allow the Zipangcoin to spread any further in Asia. But we can't force pressure on them when we already have more countries participating."
5. Toward the Future
Toward the Construction of an Asian Co-prosperity Sphere Kazuma Nanjo and Shigeru Sugawara continued their efforts to further strengthen cooperation with Asian countries and build a new economic zone based on the Zipangcoin. Despite pressure from the U.S. and China, they deepened their ties with Asian countries and created strong economic ties. • Kazuma Nanjo: "Our goal is not simply to create an economic zone. It is to usher in a new future, one that has the power to sustain all of Asia." Nanjo and Sugawara's vision progressed into a grand plan to rebuild a robust economic partnership for all of Asia, with the Zipangcoin at the center of it all.
