Chapter 61: Encounters in the Disaster Zone
When the sun shines on the land of Kobe on a new day. This land, which yesterday was thriving and prosperous, has now become a hellish place, full of smoke reaching into the sky, and full of sad people. The earth was still flustering from time to time......
After the panic in the middle of the night, some people have spontaneously organized themselves and began to save themselves. They cleaned up the collapsed houses near their homes, searching for food, water and groceries, as well as for victims and survivors. A bloody corpse was dug out of the rubble. and carried it to the open place. Every time a survivor is found, there is a burst of cheers.
"Come on, everyone, there's someone in here!". As a young man shouted, a group of men with all kinds of rudimentary tools gathered on the side of the ruins on the road. It used to be a wide road, but now it was covered by the remains of collapsed buildings on both sides of the road, but from the angle he was, he could clearly see inside the ruins. Beneath the piles of masonry, several cars that have been completely deformed. In the window of one of the sedans, a foot in leather shoes can be seen shaking.
Seeing this scene, people were overjoyed, and they carried them on their shoulders one after another, and used sticks to pry them to clean out part of the masonry pressed on the car. Most of the doors were exposed. Well, to remove the cement slab from the roof of the car, for those of them who do not have large construction machinery, it is obviously unrealistic, and now they can only hope that they can drag the survivors out of the car in this way.
The door was completely deformed, and several people were unable to open it despite the effort of feeding. Some people proposed to pry it open with an iron rod, or find a gas cutter to cut it open. But they were all rejected by the old people in the crowd. There was still a huge cement slab on the roof of the car, and the car was completely deformed, and it was not possible to determine the situation of the person in the car, if the door was broken. Reduced the amount of support the door has on the roof. So in case you can't support the weight of the cement slab. That's what they sent their own people to hell with their own hands! So, they just broke the glass of the car window.
The survivor in the car was none other than Jiro Ryojiro, who had no way to escape at that time, so he could only get into the back seat of the car. Then the whole floor was filmed. Poor Ryūroji fainted utterly in the violent thump. Wait until he wakes up. only to find out that although his life was saved, he was hiding in this car. In order to save fuel and steel, the car is "difficult to compare with Europe and the United States" in terms of the protection of passengers, which is known to everyone.
The car where Jiro Sakaji was hiding had been dented by the heavy cement slab on the roof. Originally, you could sit in it with your chest upright," but now Sakaji Jiro can only lie in the back seat, and as long as he lifts his body slightly, his head will have the most intimate contact with the roof of the car. And what's even more troublesome is that because the deformation of the car does not only come from the roof, the huge impact force. It also collided with other vehicles on the road, "the front and rear of the car were badly damaged. This also caused the body to deform, and one of his hands was stuck in it at elbow level, unable to pull out. But he's glad he survived after all." Although it is said that the stuck arm is no longer conscious. But the rest of the body is still complete. Compared to those compatriots who were filmed directly under the ruins, he was already very lucky!
And when he was awake, the sky had not yet dawned, and he could still hear "a faint cry for help coming from the ruins, and he listened to it and felt very much like a senior in his own company" Unfortunately, it was not yet light. It became silent.
Although he kept calling for help during this time, it was probably because it was not dawn "and because the surroundings were too noisy and no one noticed him." But he was still a lucky one after all. People are finally noticing his presence!
People smashed the glass on the rear door. Jiro Ganoji informed the people of his pantly condition, and the people lamented their disappointment. To save Jiro Sakaji from the deformed car intact. It's impossible to do without the right tools. And those things. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the rescue team arrives. Fortunately, there were no obvious wounds on Lingji Jiro's body. The whole person was trapped in the car, and the vehicle did not smell any gasoline except for its deformation, and apparently there was no leakage. People put a bottle of water and some food in the car. They all left. Ryūro could only pray to the gods. No more big aftershocks.
In fact, I should thank Fang Mingyuan. It is precisely because of Fang Mingyuan's so-called "prophecy" before the earthquake...... This has led to a great discussion in the whole society about the possibility of earthquakes. In this almost one-sided discussion, although Fang Mingyuan was scolded bloody. Although the government did not have any high-ranking officials to express their voices, it had a great impact on Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama.
Although Murayama Tomiichi also thinks that this prophecy is a bit absurd, but he doesn't know Weishenme, he feels that even if he is honest. It doesn't hurt that he's prepared these days. In the end, it turned out to be a false alarm, and it should be regarded as a pre-earthquake exercise! Therefore, Murayama Fuichi secretly demanded that his secretary must have a special person on duty 24 hours a day in the near future. Pay close attention to the whole country, if there is an earthquake with a high magnitude, you must notify yourself as soon as possible!
Moreover, he informed the head of the Himoto Self-Defense Forces in advance. They should be prepared to dispatch if necessary, as a disaster relief exercise, which is the main reason why the Weishenme Self-Defense Forces were able to immediately move to the disaster area after receiving the order.
In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, according to the "Japan" regulations, the disaster information collected by the "Police" Department and the Fire Department had to be sent to the Prime Minister's official residence through the Land and Resources Department. Although this information transmission mechanism is standardized and procedural, it becomes mechanical and rigid in times of emergency, and the result is that when the earthquake struck at 6 o'clock in the morning, Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama was still lying in bed at that time, and no one reported the earthquake to him. It wasn't until I woke up 40 minutes later, turned on the TV, and saw the live broadcast of the major TV stations at that time, that I saw that the Kobe disaster area was already full of smoke and flames. Prime Minister Murayama couldn't believe that this was true, and hurriedly called the prime minister's secretary to verify the situation, but the prime minister's secretary didn't know about it.
Such a speed of reporting, of course, does not require the timely performance of the role of the prime minister. This is in contrast to the fact that the President of the United States received information from the Federal Crisis Management Agency just minutes after the Los Angeles earthquake, and later the term "dull" was used by the domestic media to express extreme dissatisfaction with the government's rapid response mechanism for crisis management. As a result, the Murayama Tomiichi cabinet was strongly criticized, and its approval rating fell sharply.
In addition, in accordance with the provisions of this law, if the self-defense forces participate in local disaster relief efforts, the governor of the area where the Self-Defense Forces are involved must request the dispatch of the Self-Defense Forces in writing in advance, and other methods such as telephone or fax are invalid. The equipment and training of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces could have given full play to their advantages in disaster relief and rescue during this disaster, but after the war, many officials in the Japanese government were disgusted with the dispatch of the army. He was hesitant to turn to the Self-Defense Forces for help. Therefore, it was not until noon on the second day after the Great Lingshen Earthquake, which was about 30 hours after the earthquake, that the main force of the Self-Defense Forces could enter the disaster area, which was undoubtedly the best time to delay rescue and provide disaster relief.
And in this life, Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama can be said to have received the news at the first time, and at the same time dispatched the Self-Defense Forces at the first time. The best opportunity for emergency rescue and disaster relief was seized.
But the day himself should also hate Fang Mingyuan, if there is no him, the butterfly can flap its wings vigorously. Maybe the magnitude of this Kobe earthquake will be the same as in the previous life, 7.3, instead of the current 7.9, and Kobe's [Ri] himself will not relax his vigilance against the earthquake because of the experts' repeated refutation of rumors, so that he will not die nearly twice as much as Fang Mingyuan in his previous life. The number of injured people is even more upside down.
This is probably in response to the old saying of the ancient Chinese... If you lose your horse, you will know the blessing and the curse!
But at this time, of course, the people don't know this.
Trapped in the car, Ling Lu Jiro's heart was full of dissatisfaction with the government and society at this time, didn't you say that it was impossible for a large-scale earthquake to occur in the Kansai region, and didn't you say that Fang Jun was a man of false accusations? Didn't you say that there was no sign of a major earthquake in Japan at present? Didn't you scold Fang Jun to the bloody end?
Facts speak louder than words now! Fang Jun's warning is not wrong!
If everyone can face up to Fang Jun's warning and later statements, pay more attention to underground activities. Although he was detained in a car, years of propaganda on earthquake knowledge in Japan made it easy for him to judge that this must be an earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher!
Just as he gritted his teeth and gassed his airglass, a soft voice suddenly came from outside the car: "You're not injured inside, are you?......
Jiro Sakaji struggled to lift his chin. Only then did I see that in front of my head, outside the car, I don't know when a few people were standing, led by a beautiful woman, who was holding the microphone and asking herself, "We are reporters from TV Tokyo." May I ask this gentleman, can we interview you?......
Hanji Jiro couldn't help but widen his eyes, this, this, isn't this Miss Ai Yamashita?
