Girardin did not expect the Japanese people to accept the rule of the Lanfang government overnight, and loved the Lanfang government from the bottom of his heart, as long as he could change the attitude of some Japanese people towards Lanfang through this earthquake, it would be considered a goal.
A week after the earthquake struck, the first batch of aid was finally brought in from Vladivostok, and the shortage was finally alleviated.
The response speed and work efficiency of the Lanfang government are still good, after the earthquake, Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang began to organize disaster relief, because the scope of the earthquake is too wide, this workload is still not small, fortunately, Lanfang is now considered to be a large land, and the industrial capacity is also quite good, so from Lanfang to the northern region, all kinds of materials are being concentrated in Japan, and will arrive one after another in the future.
Although the shortage of materials has eased, Girardin has not changed his strategy and is still resolutely promoting "cash-for-work".
In order to make the citizens of Tokyo feel the goodwill of the Lanfang government, Girardin even invited urban designers from Lanfang to prepare to build a garden city, so that the citizens of Tokyo can truly feel the benefits brought by the Lanfang government.
Before clearing the rubble, the first thing to dispose of is the bodies of those who were killed.
In fact, so far, the number of dead and missing people in the entire Tokyo area has exceeded 200,000, which is quite a lot higher than the original 140,000.
The earthquake did kill a lot of "dissidents", but there will always be some fish that slip through the net, and the "Qin Army" got a secret task in the process of disaster relief, which is to use this disaster to eradicate all these "dissidents".
Even some people with even the slightest inclination are among the eradications.
At this time, if you don't consider the problem of emotional tendencies, it is really not too easy to accomplish, there will be a great epidemic after the catastrophe, and there are aftershocks every day, so there are so many opportunities.
The temperature in March is getting warmer and warmer every day, so many corpses must be disposed of as soon as possible, and no one will ask where these corpses came from at this time, and there are many strange ways to die in the earthquake.
All the corpses had to be burned in a centralized manner, and then buried deeply, there were so many casualties at once, and don't even think about figuring out the identity of one person and one urn, simply set up a collective cemetery on News Street, which has the largest number of deaths, and then erect a monument, and everything that happened was buried deep in people's hearts.
At the beginning of April, the debris near the port area was cleared first, and reconstruction began in the port area.
There used to be a huge statue of Qin Zhiyuan in the port area, in this earthquake, this statue was miraculously not damaged, so the reconstruction work began with this statue, after cleaning up the ruins around the statue, the statue was put back in place, so under the gaze of the statue, the reconstruction work continued.
In fact, the attitude towards the statue shows the mental journey of the Japanese people.
When the statue was first erected, many Japanese people did not have a good impression of Lan Fang, and even had deep hostility, and until the earthquake, there were guards in front of the statue every day, just to prevent some extreme Japanese from destroying the statue.
After the earthquake, the outpost in front of the statue was finally removed, and the Japanese did not do any damage to the statue, and even after the "cash-for-work" began, some Japanese people passing by the statue would take the initiative to bow to the statue, and a few more flowers would be placed in front of the statue from time to time.
In fact, these flowers were placed there by the members of the "Qin Legion".
However, there must be many Japanese people who don't know, and many people have a herd mentality, and the Japanese who have lost their original spiritual sustenance also need a new "god" in their hearts, so the image of Qin Zhiyuan, who was deliberately created by Girardin, began to take root in the hearts of the people.
At this point, many things have been taken into account, even if many Japanese people are still dissatisfied with the Lanfang government, but they have to give positive affirmation to the performance of the Lanfang government in this earthquake, even the Japanese government and the Japanese emperor cannot do better.
At least it seems.
In fact, in addition to the soldiers and members of the "Qin Army" who were the busiest during this period, the special reporting team sent to Japan by the Lanfang Propaganda Department was also very busy.
Lan Fang's rule in Japan has actually been criticized by the Western media, and there have always been voices in the League of Nations calling for the abolition of Lan Fang's trusteeship status in Japan, this earthquake is just an opportunity, an opportunity to change the image of the Lan Fang government, Qin Zhiyuan can not let go of such an opportunity.
Almost the day after the earthquake, Qin Zhiyuan sent a special reporting team to Tokyo on a military transport plane, and then various reports were sent back to Lanfang in a steady stream to carry out a series of reports through the extremely extensive "Mainichi Shimbun".
In the beginning, the coverage focused on the devastation caused by the earthquake, most of which were written reports, which still had a great impact on the international community, and the U.S. government and the British government even organized donations for Japan, and the British donated money because of the friendly relations with Japan, while the Americans were competing for the hearts and minds of the people.
In fact, this is also a war without gunpowder.
At the end of March, pictures began to appear in newspapers, which immediately aroused the sympathy of the whole world for Japan, in fact, before Lan Fang and Japan went to war, although Westerners still looked down on the Japanese from the bottom of their hearts, but at the national level, Western countries have begun to regard Japan as part of the "civilized world", and now seeing Japan suffer such a heavy blow, the sympathy of the general public is really spontaneous.
Along with photos of the tragic situation in Tokyo after the earthquake, the newspaper was the ongoing earthquake relief work of the Lanfang Command in Japan.
The Mainichi Shimbun is very meaningful in the choice of pictures, if there are photos of the tragic situation after the earthquake, then there must be photos that have begun to be rebuilt; If there are photos of Tokyo citizens queuing up for help, there must be photos of a large number of figures in military uniforms working the ruins; If there is a photo of the Japanese sleeping soundly in a military tent, there must be a photo of the Lanfang soldiers resting briefly in the ruins.
There is really no harm if there is no comparison, and a simple photo does not show how much work the Lanfang government has done in this disaster, but countless photos and massive information began to have an overwhelming impact, and Lanfang's national image was immediately established.
This is a strong and efficient government, the earthquake will not collapse the tenacity of the Lanfang government, and the pressure will not crush the strength of the Lanfang government. In the face of the enemy, the Lanfang soldiers have already proven their bravery in the world war, and now in the face of the weak, the Lanfang soldiers once again showed the same friendliness and demeanor as "knights" and "gentlemen".
Almost in a short period of time, the image of the Lanfang government in the hearts of ordinary Western people has changed greatly, and the image of the Lanfang government is no longer the brutal and aggressive that some media have been deliberately exaggerating, but has begun to associate with sympathy, pity, and friendliness.
In fact, there have been a lot of natural and man-made disasters in recent years, because the government's inefficiency is not enough, and the social security is not perfect, in many cases, a small natural disaster can cause great losses.
This is most obvious in the United States, March and April, it is the peak period of tornadoes, the United States this year's tornado style is more, it is really a wave of uneven wave after wave, California last winter because of the tornado caused by the wildfire, even burned to the present has not been completely extinguished.
Compared with the Lanfang government, which is fully committed to organizing disaster relief, the U.S. government, which can mobilize the entire country's military and police for the sake of a single Nikola Tesla, and is helpless in the face of the wildfires, is really a bit of a failure.
For ordinary people, the most they can do to vent their frustration with the country is to scold them, because they do not have the ability to change the government, nor do they have the ability to change their own situation, but for many elites, although they cannot change the government, they still have a way to change their own environment.
As a result, since April, more and more professors from major universities have submitted reports to Lanfang Imperial University for academic exchanges, and there is a rapid upward trend.
This "academic exchange" does not mean immigration, it may just be a curiosity about the Lanfang government, or simply a yearning for culture. But in any case, this means that Lanfang's national image is rapidly transforming for the better, and these experts and professors' yearning for Lanfang Imperial University is accumulating.
This is definitely a good thing.
In these years, "expert professors" are still very valuable, at least "experts" are not "bricks", and "professors" are not "beasts".
If done well, it is not impossible to keep these experts and professors forever, especially for those experts and professors in the United States.
The United States was originally a country of immigrants, and if it were not for the appearance of Lan Fang, in another twenty years, the United States would have won World War II, then the United States would indeed become a country that all Americans would be proud of.
But in the twenties of the twentieth century, this "pride" was really not much, even if the United States had won the last world war, but in the hearts of many Westerners and even Americans, the United States was still a country composed of fraudsters and the descendants of broken families, such a country, it is indeed not much to feel proud.
Among the countless requests for "cultural exchange," there was one name that excited Qin: Albert Einstein.
