The two of them were surrounded by everyone, carefully walked through the hall, quickly left the villa, and came to the open space in front of the door, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"The shaking has really weakened a lot. Nakatani smiled after a moment, "It doesn't seem to be a major earthquake, or the epicenter is quite far away from us. ”

"If you look at the TV in a moment, there should be a report. Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, he felt that it should not be the big earthquake that caused the tsunami he thought, he remembered that in his previous life, that earthquake was finally determined to be a 9.0 magnitude earthquake! Even many places in China have a feeling, although he is not close to the epicenter now, but compared to China, it is still much closer.

This sudden earthquake made more than 70% of the Japanese mainland feel it. It also scared Yukio Hatoyama, Naoki Ozawa and others into a cold sweat. When the earthquake struck, Tokyo felt the tremors obviously, and their first reaction at that time was that the earthquake that Fang Mingyuan had "predicted" in advance had erupted! Although Fang Mingyuan was talking about winter or the transition period between winter and spring, they would never feel that they were well prepared for such a thing as preparing for disaster relief. In particular, as Fang Mingyuan described, there was an earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear accident, and Yukio Hatoyama and the others were eager to spend a year to prepare.

The two were presiding over the meeting at the time, and the meeting was interrupted at the first moment, asking where the epicenter was located and what the consequences were. Not long after, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and the Japanese Earthquake Department reported that the epicenter of a 7-point earthquake occurred in the eastern waters of Honshu Island in Japan (38.3°N, 143.3°E). Sendai and other cities felt the earthquake significantly more than level 4, and the local earthquake in Tokyo was level 3, and the earthquake process lasted for about two minutes, and the earthquake caused damage to houses in neighboring areas, but there is no news of casualties yet. The earthquake has already triggered a regional tsunami near the epicenter, with the OFUNATO station on the island of Honshu monitoring a tsunami wave at a height of 0.54 meters.

"Whew......" Naoki Ozawa let out a sigh of relief, and the heart hanging in his throat was put down. Earthquakes and volcanoes in Japan have existed all year round, and if they have not caused any casualties or major property damage like this, they will not be a matter of concern in the minds of the Japanese people at all, and they will forget about it tomorrow.

Yukio Hatoyama is not much better than him, and Fang Cai is also a heart jumping, that is, he has no heart disease, otherwise he feels that he must have to take medicine. At this time, when I saw the data sent back, my mood gradually calmed down. The phone in hand rang suddenly, it was from Yasuda Nakanomiya.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you already know where the epicenter of the earthquake is, ......right? That is roughly in the same area?" Yasuda Nakanomiya didn't say anything polite, and said straight to the point, "As far as I know, since the history of earthquake observation in Japan, there has never been an earthquake of higher magnitude in a short period of time after an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or higher occurred in the same area!"

Yukio Hatoyama was shocked in his heart, and wondered in his heart what Yasuda Nakanomiya meant by this? Did he want to say that Fang Mingyuan's early warning was a bluff at all?

"Although the time, place, and area of impact are all roughly accurate, the magnitude of this earthquake is too different from the place he described, right?" Yasuda Nakanomiya continued, "Maybe in China, an earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher is a major earthquake, but in our country, the damage caused by this earthquake is nothing at all!

"Yasuda-kun, since the history of earthquake observation, there has never been an earthquake of higher magnitude in the same area after an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or higher has never occurred in a short period of time?" asked Yukio Hatoyama, taking a deep breath. The conditions offered by the other party Mingyuan, Yasuda Zhonggong was originally the one with the strongest opposition. If it weren't for Fang Mingyuan's multiple precedents for successful early warnings, I'm afraid Yasuda Zhonggong would have disdained this a long time ago. If the theory that Yasuda Nakanomiya said really exists, then it is not surprising that he has such a reaction.

"Professor Abe Tateyama!" replied Nakanomiya Yasuda without hesitation, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Professor Abe Tateyama or other experts and scholars in the field of earthquakes in Japan." ”

Putting down the phone, Yukio Hatoyama's face was already sinking like water, Naoki Ozawa leaned over and asked softly, "Hatoyama-kun, what's wrong?"

"Abe Tateyama, you know, right?" said Yukio Hatoyama with a gloomy face, "Yasuda Nakanomiya said that since Japan has a history of earthquake observation, there has never been an earthquake of higher magnitude in a short period of time after an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or higher occurred in the same area!"

Naoki Ozawa pondered for a moment and said, "What does he mean is that the earthquake that Fang Jun said can't happen again?" Abe Tateyama is a very famous expert and professor in the Japanese seismology community.

"Hmm!" Hatoyama Yukio frowned, "Although it is said that tsunamis are also caused by other ways, if the earthquake is excluded, the probability of other ways occurring is much smaller, and Fang Jun did not mention it." ”

If this theory is true, it means that the earthquake that Fang Mingyuan warned cannot be higher than the magnitude of the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred today, and theoretically speaking, it is naturally impossible to cause a larger tsunami, so the said nuclear accident will either not happen, or it may be due to other reasons, or it may be a nuclear power plant in other regions. Of course, it is not excluded that as Yasuda Zhonggong said, Fang Mingyuan is bluffing!

If that's the case...... On the one hand, there may be voices of regret among the six major consortia - although the earthquake and tsunami occurred, they did not cause obvious damage to the Japanese mainland, and letting Fang Mingyuan take those benefits is obviously a big loss; on the other hand, he and Yukio Hatoyama may also be dragged down because of this!

However, Naoki Ozawa did not become panicked by this, and said after a moment of silence: "If this is the case, it is imperative that we first determine the degree of recognition of this theory in the academic community." And even if the majority of the academic community agrees with this theory, it does not mean that it is an immutable truth. Before the advent of the theory of relativity, wasn't the classical theory of mechanics also considered the truth by the world?"

Yukio Hatoyama nodded heavily, and all he could do now was to refute Yasuda Nakanomiya's statement as much as possible. Otherwise......

On 26 February, five days had passed since the earthquake, and since it had not caused much substantial damage to the Japanese mainland, the earthquake that occurred at the bottom of the sea had been forgotten by ordinary Japanese, and the number of earthquakes that occurred every year was too many, not to mention that there were not many casualties and property losses, even the casualties were tens or hundreds of people, which was not a major event in Japan. Except for the person concerned and the earthquake area, people in other areas will not take it seriously.

But they don't know that among the top few people in Japan, there is already a lot of argument about it. After seeing off the visiting foreign dignitaries, Yukio Hatoyama returned to his room at the Prime Minister's official residence and collapsed on his bed exhausted.

Since the Japanese academic community does have this theory, and in reality, it is true that since the history of seismic observation, in areas where earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above have occurred, in a short period of time, often decades or even longer, there will be no earthquakes with a higher magnitude than them, Yasuda Nakanomiya has wooed Iwasaki Masayo, and the attitude of the two is quite clear, although they are grateful to Fang Mingyuan for his prior warning, but they think that in the current situation, it is undoubtedly unwise to pay Fang Mingyuan the promised remuneration in full. They believe that there should be a drastic reduction. If it weren't for the fact that the earthquake and tsunami happened in the area and time demarcated by Fang Mingyuan, they would have been worried because of this, and Yasuda Zhonggong's attitude would have left no room for anything.

The attitude of Yoshikushi Hiroike and Tadashi Ito is not clear, and they are still in a state of vacillation, but the attitude of Tamayama and Tachimoto Tayoshi is relatively clear, and they believe that it is still too early to discuss this issue, and it is only late February, and it is more appropriate to discuss this issue at least in April and May. And they tend to even if they want to reduce the conditions that Fang Mingyuan has promised Fang Mingyuan, they must stop in moderation and not break out conflicts with Fang Mingyuan.

The attitude of the six major consortia is inconsistent, which naturally brings great pressure to Yukio Hatoyama and Naoki Ozawa, although Yukio Hatoyama is the prime minister and the ruling party is the Democratic Party, but both of them know very well in their hearts that if there is no consent of the six major consortia, at least the majority must agree, otherwise the promise they promised to Fang Mingyuan will not be fulfilled at all.

From Yukio Hatoyama's personal standpoint, he thinks that not to mention whether or not the catastrophe that Fang Mingyuan warned about will there be in the end, and just because this 7.1 magnitude earthquake occurred within the scope and time set by Fang Mingyuan, Japan should be good friends with him. Moreover, Fang Mingyuan's conditions ...... Not excessive. If those cultural relics were strictly in accordance with international law, they should have been returned to China.

Of course, what Yukio Hatoyama paid more attention to was what kind of reaction Fang Mingyuan would have if they cut the remuneration they had promised to give Fang Mingyuan! He didn't think that Fang Mingyuan would admit it silently. Let's not talk about whether Fang Mingyuan will warn Japan again in the future, if he is angry, what kind of consequences will there be? Yukio Hatoyama felt a little sore in his head when he thought of this.

In the past five days, although he still insisted on his position, the disadvantages of the disagreement of the six major consortia have begun to appear. How can the major shareholders behind the three companies behind the three nuclear power plants, who are actively lobbying for the power shortage to restart their reactors as soon as possible in March, citing power shortages, and the shutdown of more than 30 units of the six nuclear power plants, and the fact that large sums of yen are flowing through their hands every day but cannot be obtained?

At the beginning, the three power companies closed the unit to inspect and rectify the forced order, when the six consortia and **** stood in one camp, the three power companies were naturally powerless to fight, but now the two consortia "defected", the neutral attitude of the two was not clear, only the attitude of the two and their own was relatively firm, and it was not surprising that the three power companies were not honest. Even within the ****, there are many voices responding to the three power companies.

The Democratic Party has been in power for a short time, and Yukio Hatoyama himself is the same, although he has successfully formed a cabinet and stumbled to this day, but the control of various departments is different, and the influence of other parties, especially the Liberal Democratic Party, is still very large. In the past, there were six major consortia behind them, and these officials would carry out some decrees even if they were confused, but now that these people are aware that the attitude of the above is no longer unified, they will naturally jump out for various reasons to oppose these decrees that they don't know about Hatoyama Yukio's purpose. Of course, there must have been officials who were instructed by Yasuda Nakanomiya or Iwasaki Masato.

If it weren't for Yukio Hatoyama's extremely clear attitude of not agreeing to the restart of the nuclear power units of these three power companies, I am afraid that the units of these six nuclear power plants would have been restarted one after another in March. But Yukio Hatoyama also understands that although he is the prime minister, he can't just go his own way, he can stop them for a while, but he can't shove them again and again. After all, these more than 30 units can bring extremely amazing wealth to the power company every day.

Moreover, the closure of more than 30 nuclear power units has caused a certain degree of impact on Japan's power supply, and the production of many local enterprises has also been affected, and with the passage of time, the weather is warmer, and the domestic demand for electricity will also grow, and at that time, they have to face not only three power companies, but also many other enterprises, and the capital behind them!

Japan is democratic, but Japan is also controlled by capital, those big capitalists, through various means to guide public opinion in the direction they want, for this kind of thing, they are already familiar with this kind of thing, they are handy, they can influence them within a certain range, but if their actions are regarded by them as a major obstacle to their earning of wealth, they will not hesitate to oust themselves from power!

Yukio Hatoyama has an extremely clear understanding of this! Should he continue to persevere? Or should he agree with the boat? He must have a choice!
