The world knows that Prime Minister Abe inherited this most essential quality.

The Yoshida Security Treaty, which Shigeru Yoshida later signed on his own, states that the U.S. will stay in Japan but will not be obligated to defend Japan.
The 60-year Security Treaty signed by Nobusuke Kishi changed it to "If the U.S. stays in Japan, it must defend Japan," and nothing was amiss.

What is passed down from grandfather to grandson...The insights of a great-grandfather are passed down to his grandchildren.
Masayuki Takayama, the one and only journalist in the postwar world, tells us that the Constitution given to Japan by the United States was modeled after the order taken by the Roman Empire when it destroyed Carthage.
Once the Korean War broke out, the U.S. (which was the first time it learned about the realities of the communist state and the Korean Peninsula) changed its attitude 180 degrees and firmly asked Shigeru Yoshida to get Japan to enter the War.
Yoshida rejected the U.S. intention for the first time, as they were an unarmed Japan.
In the monthly magazine "Hanada," Mr. Gyo Tsutsumi, a respected senior student of my alma mater, tells us that Secretary Dulles, anticipating Yoshida's move, adopted a two-pronged strategy to use the Emperor as a political tool.
The article provides a significant example of "what is handed down from grandfather to grandson," which is the subject of this article.
Preamble omitted.
There was once such a case.
The Korean War broke out, and Dulles asked Shigeru Yoshida to rearm.
The U.S. wants to use Japanese forces, right?
Yoshida was not willing to comply with the request.
Dulles then gathered together Yasumasa Matsudaira and Takeshi Watanabe (bureaucrats in the Finance Ministry), who were close to the Showa Emperor and attempted "Emperor Diplomacy" through them.
It was a kind of dual diplomacy.
In front of them, Dulles said, "I share with you a message from President Truman: "Our country will stay as a victor's right. But we are not obligated to defend Japan. That is the president's message."
It is a story from Watanabe's memoirs.
The Yoshida Security Treaty, which Shigeru Yoshida later signed on his own, stated, "The U.S. will stay in Japan but will not be obligated to defend Japan."
The 60-year Security Treaty signed by Nobusuke Kishi changed it to "If the U.S. stays in Japan, it must defend Japan," and nothing was amiss.
Post-sentence omitted.
I have previously written that Nobusuke Kishi was a great man with the most brilliant mind in Japan then, the opposite of Kishi being a specter, etc., as the Asahi Shimbun had been spreading.
I was convinced of this when my knowledge that the capital of Manchukuo was the most beautiful city in the world at that time coincided with the fact that Mr. Kishi was involved in managing Manchukuo as a bureaucrat in the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The facts that Mr. Tsutsumi shared with me reveal that Kishi Nobusuke was a supreme statesman, even more so than I was convinced.
The world knows that Prime Minister Abe inherited this most critical quality.
However, none of the students studying at the highest level knew of this straightforward fact.
Mr. Nishibe Susumu, one of the best postwar scholars, who was one of the core members of the Zengakuren as a student at the University of Tokyo at that time, said that he had been shouting against the Security Treaty without knowing this at all, and admitted that Kishi Nobusuke had done what was absolutely natural.
All of those who said they were against the Security Treaty at the time were unaware of this simple fact.
Nothing could be more gratifying than to learn from a senior student of my beloved alma mater that Kishi Nobusuke's political insight could not have been more profound, and that is why the Emperor Showa loved him so much.
Mr. Aichi graduated first in his class from my alma mater and the University of Tokyo with similar honors in law.
He then worked in the Ministry of Finance as the best administrative officer in the country's financial management.
Through self and other will, he became a politician for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to apply his abilities to the policy-making decisions of Japan.
While he was serving as a minister, I saw him in person twice when he visited my alma mater to greet the athletic festival.
Aichi Kiichi's eye for the nation was always passed down to his grandson, even though Aichi Jiro was an adopted son-in-law.
