Ishikawa Hanzan said. "However,you have to be prepared to literally lay down your life for this.Are you prepared to do so, Mr.Tanaka?”
Shozo Tanaka replied without pause. ”Originally,my life is to be used up for the benefit of the victim people.”
Ishikawa went on to say. "Besides,if you appeal directly to the Emperor,your family might be blamed." Shozo said, ”My parents have already passed away. I have given my wife a lot of trouble. Therefore,I am sending a letter of separation to her at this time.”
Then Ishikawa said, ”Mr.Tanaka, I have accepted your decision. Then, as a journalist, I will inform the society about what is happening in Asio through newspaper articles.”
Thus, the plan to appeal directly to the Emperor was set in motion.
