Chapter 245: The Japanese Whaling Industry

Kenichi Omura continued, "Many political parties were formed in a hurry and then quickly disbanded. It is difficult for ordinary people to have an in-depth understanding of the specific flow of personnel. ”

"The relationship between the DPP and the Matsuba faction is indeed relatively close, but not long ago, the DPP announced its merger into the Party of Hope...... So, our biggest ally at the political level right now should be the 'Party of Hope'. ”

Lin Han frowned slightly: "Party of Hope?"

Democrats, Liberals, Liberal Democrats and the like, he has seen a lot.

But a party name like the "Party of Hope" is really rare, and it sounds somewhat strange.

Ken Omura nodded: "The Party of Hope is a political party founded by the current governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike. Although it has been established for less than a month, there are many political celebrities and strong members. ”

The governor of Tokyo, corresponding to the situation in China, is at the level of the mayor of the capital, a proper member of the Politburo of the Central Committee, and a deputy state-level tycoon.

The party initiated by the governor of Tokyo, and the DPP is willing to merge into it, is certainly not as simple as a petty fight.

"The forces led by the Party of Hope are currently the second most powerful political force in the LDP coalition. And Yuriko Koike herself is also Abe's biggest rival in this election......"

"I see. Lin Han nodded slightly and said thoughtfully.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly changed his words: "As far as I know, most of the gangsters in Japan are having a hard time now, how is the situation of your Qianchuan Society?"

Kenichi Omura sighed, shook his head and said, "The Chikawakai is just a small local gangster, and it is only slightly famous in Miyagi Prefecture, so of course the situation is not much better. ”

"The thirty or so people you saw just now are most of the people of our Qianchuan Society. Recently, due to the frequent troubles of the Koi Society, our income has been decreasing, and everyone is living very poorly. ”

Lin Han pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "So, is your association willing to accept monetary donations?"

"Donation?" Omura was stunned.

Lin Han smiled slightly: "If you want, I can donate you a million dollars now." ”

When Omura Ken heard this, his heart couldn't help but be a little shaken.

A million dollars!

Converted into yen, it is more than 100 million, which is enough to top the income of Chikawakai for at least three years!

With this money, not only can the living conditions of the gang be greatly improved, but also a group of people can be organized in a very short period of time to compete with the Xiaojing Society.

Although it may take some time to cultivate formal helpers, there are a lot of undesirable youths in society.

These unscrupulous youths, commonly known as the Foolish Company, are a group of violent elements who are stunned and don't want to die if they give a little money, and they can be called excellent cannon fodder.

With more people, at least for a short time, Chikawakai will be able to maintain their independence without worrying about being eaten by Koikai.

To some extent, this million-dollar donation is tantamount to a life-saving money for the Qianchuan Society.

However, thinking about it, Kenichi Omura gradually calmed down.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and if you want to get it, you have to pay for it.

He didn't believe that the mysterious Huaxia people in front of him suddenly had a kind heart, and wanted to pity and pity these members of the violent group.

After all, even Kenichi Omura himself doesn't think the yakuza have anything to pity.

There is no doubt that this seemingly gratuitous gift has already been secretly marked with a price.

When he refused, he was rejecting the million dollars of life-saving money along with the unknown price.

He accepts it, and he accepts both at the same time.

Kenichi Omura lowered his head and frowned, and was silent for a long time.

Of course, Lin Han could guess what he was thinking, so he said lightly: "The reason why I am willing to donate to the Qianchuan Society is because I think you are a gangster leader with a bottom line and measure. ”

"Otherwise, it will be the same with donating to Koikai...... To me, there's not much difference between you. ”

Kenichi Omura breathed a faint sigh of relief and said respectfully: "You have won the prize." ”

Lin Han continued: "The one million dollars donated to you are definitely not for charity. So at some point in the future, I need you to help me do something that isn't too above board. ”

Kenichi Omura asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Han muttered: "The Japanese law is a sideline, or a minor violation. As for murder and arson, drug dealing, or even just pornography and gambling, I have no interest in it. ”

Kenichi Omura said, "If that's the case, Chikawa will be happy to serve you. ”

Lin Han nodded, and then smiled again: "Actually, I think your Japanese violence group is sometimes quite interesting. ”

"Let's just talk about the protection money you collect, and you don't dare to collect the protection money of large enterprises and large chain stores. And if you don't pay the protection fee for the small shop, you will harass it, throw garbage in the store, or eat and drink...... This style is a bit far from the gangster I imagined. ”

Kenichi Omura was a little embarrassed: "After all, the times are different, and it is impossible for violent groups to run rampant like before." And sometimes, we call the police. ”

"Call the police?" Lin Han almost thought he had misheard.

"We solve the problems of the gangs themselves, and the police generally do not interfere. But in some other ways, we, like ordinary people, sometimes need to turn to the police for help. ”

"Of course, this is also very rare. After all, in any case, calling the police is a shame for the gangsters. ”

Lin Han coughed twice, and then said, "With so many restrictions, in fact, it will be difficult for you to have any big way out in the future." ”

Kenichi Omura said: "Most of the people who join the gang are already people who have no way out. So it's not surprising that you're barely getting by. ”

"Unless Japan's economic situation improves significantly, it will be possible for us to gradually get out of our predicament by forming legitimate businesses and gradually obtaining legal income. ”

Lin Han nodded slightly, muttered for a while, and then said, "Let's prepare a little after I go back, after a while, I may need a few of you to go to Tokyo with me." ”

……

A hospital in Sendai City.

"Ah...... It hurts. ”

Yamagata Wu, who had just woken up, lay on the hospital bed and gently rubbed his forehead, with a painful look on his face.

Around the hospital bed, there were several small leaders of the small well society, looking at Yamagata Wu with a strange expression, both hope and worry.

In addition to these small leaders of the Xiaojing Society, there were two more depressed-looking gangsters next to them, one of whom still had a bandage on his head.

There is no doubt that they are the other two who were stunned by Lin Han.

"How's you, sir?"

Yamagata Wu, who was rubbing his forehead, turned his head when he heard this, first looked at a few of his subordinates, and then looked around, with doubts in his eyes.

He frowned for a long time before he said with some hesitation:

"You ...... Who is it?"

……

After dealing with a bunch of things, Lin Han took a bus back to Sendai Medical College and visited the local Lu Xun Memorial Hall.

After a hundred years of development, the Sendai Medical College where Lu Xun studied is now the medical faculty of Tohoku University in Japan.

Tohoku University in Japan, which is ranked among the top 100 in the world, is also a very powerful comprehensive university.

In this memorial hall of the Medical Department of Northeastern University, Lin Han learned a lot of anecdotes about Lu Xun that are rarely heard of in China.

Most of them are anecdotes that happened to Lu Xun when he was studying medicine, and also include some medical courses, such as Lu Xun's academic level.

Lu Xun's medical level is not high, and it is not low to say low.

At that time, there were 142 people in Lu Xun's class, and Lu Xun ranked 68th, which was considered to be in the middle of the stream, but he only hung up a subject.

And this subject, which was somewhat unexpected by Lin Han, was actually the "anatomy" of Bishop Fujino.

The article "Mr. Fujino" written by Lu Xun, which Chinese students don't know, of course Lin Han also has an impression.

It's just that I never expected that the subject that Lu Xun hung in college was actually the anatomy taught by Mr. Fujino, which surprised Lin Han for a while.

He couldn't help but think in his heart that the reason why Lu Xun wrote an article specifically for Mr. Fujino was probably because he was too impressed......

After staying for this day, I noticed that although the geological changes in Sendai City were slightly restless, no strong earthquakes were found.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Han took the Shinkansen railway again and continued north to Aomori Prefecture.

Aomori Prefecture is located in the northernmost part of Japan's main state, across the Tsugaru Strait to the north and across the sea from Hokkaido.

As its name suggests, Aomori Prefecture is a large forest prefecture with a forest coverage rate of 70% and a well-developed agriculture, forestry and fishery industry, making it a place with an outstanding natural environment.

After coming to Aomori Prefecture, Lin Han predicted an earthquake, but it was only about 5.7 magnitude, which is not a strong earthquake, and it is a common level in Japan.

As the country with the best earthquake prevention measures, even without Lin Han's reminder, an earthquake of this magnitude will basically not cause any casualties.

So soon, Hayashi Han continued to take the Shinkansen, through the Seikan Tunnel, from Aomori Prefecture to Hakodate City in Hokkaido.

The train was passing through the undersea tunnel, but Gaia's voice reached his ears: "There is a whaling base in Hakodate City, and some whaling ships in this whaling base are currently preparing to go to the waters of eastern Hokkaido for whaling. ”

"Whaling?"

Lin Han was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Isn't Japan the world's largest whaling country?

As the world's largest whaling and whale-eating nation, Japan has had three types of whaling since decades ago: large-scale ocean-going whaling, large-scale coastal whaling, and small-scale coastal whaling.

Japanese ocean-going whaling began in the early part of the last century, and even set a record of nearly 8,000 whales killed in one year.

Among the 8,000 whales are blue whales, humpback whales, fin whales, sperm whales and many other whales, including many whale species that are now endangered.

In recent years, Japan has developed a North Pacific pelagic whaling team, which mainly kills gray whales and sperm whales.

During World War II, ocean-going whaling was suspended.

After the end of World War II, in order to improve the food supply for the Japanese people, the U.S. Occupation Force Command encouraged the resumption of ocean-going whaling, which led to the rapid development of the Japanese whaling industry again.

It was not until the International Whaling Commission passed the "decision to completely suspend commercial whaling" that Japan's ocean-going whaling began to decline.

But it wasn't long before the ban loosened and began to allow limited whaling "for research purposes."

Despite widespread opposition, Japan still kills cetaceans in large quantities each year in the name of scientific research, and has set up six whaling bases, including one in Hakodate, Hokkaido.

Gaia said: "Now I have a job to give you, which is to crack down on the Japanese whaling industry, at least to stop the whaling operation at the Hakodate whaling base. ”

"When that's done, I'll allow you to dig up a large treasure in Japan. The exact size of the treasure depends on how hard you hit the Japanese whaling industry. Gaia continued.

"If you can get the whaling industry out of Japan's history, you can dig up all the treasures of Japan. ”

Lin Han was a little embarrassed: "Withdraw from the stage of history...... That's unlikely. ”

The reason why Japan is so aggressively engaged in whaling activities is to a large extent to make up for the lack of its innate conditions.

After all, Japan is poor in natural resources and has a small area of arable land, so it is simply not self-sufficient in the grain it produces, and it has to import a large amount of grain from foreign countries every year.

Whales, the largest creatures in the ocean, can provide them with a lot of meat, which greatly relieves the pressure on the food supply.

At its peak, whale meat even accounted for nearly half of the Japanese diet. This shows how important the whaling industry is to Japan.

As one of the countries with the largest grain output in the world, the central government still puts food security in the first place every year when planning tasks.

Don't look at some unscrupulous merchants in China who once fried crops such as garlic and mung beans to the sky and made a lot of money.

However, when it comes to rice, wheat, and other major food crops, if anyone dares to do anything indiscriminately, the state will be able to peel him off at the first opportunity.

It is a universal truth that people regard food as their sky.

It is estimated that it will be more difficult to withdraw the whaling industry from the historical stage of Japan than it is to withdraw Abe from the historical stage of Japan.

Gaia said, "That's why I'm going to promise you all the great treasures of the whole country...... In the short term, it is unlikely that the industry will be eliminated. But it's okay to crack down, at least it's not that hard for you to stop this whaling activity. ”

"Now that the whaling ships have sailed out of port, when you get to Hakodate City, rent a boat and follow them, and you'll soon be able to spot them. ”

"No problem. ”

The train carrying Hayashi Han passed through the Seikan Tunnel and arrived in Hakodate City on the other side of the Tsugaru Strait.

As soon as he arrived in Hakodate City, Lin Han went straight to the east, found a seaside port for renting and selling boats, and searched several times to find a place to rent yachts.

"Boss, how is the speed of this yacht?"

Lin Han looked at the small yacht in front of him, looked at it for a while, and then asked the boss on the side.

He wanted to rent a speedboat, but he didn't find it in the vicinity, so he had to change to a small yacht, which looked quite light.

The somewhat obese boss said with a smile: "This boat is quite fast, not only can it be used for sightseeing and entertainment, but it is also not bad at racing speed with speedboats." ”
