Chapter 1091: The Great Kanto Earthquake (7)
Standing in the embassy like ruins, looking at the tents set up within the embassy and the people who were constantly busy around, Zhang Lixin often sighed.
In this breath, there is both a sigh for the status quo and a sigh of relief.
No matter how big the fire is, there will always be a day when it will be extinguished.
There is no doubt that for the Japanese government, the first area that needs to be extinguished is the administrative district, followed by the rich area and the embassy areaββββββ especially the embassy district, after all, if too many diplomats are burned here, there is no doubt that it will definitely lead to diplomatic disputes.
Considering Japan's current international situation, this is definitely something that the Japanese government needs to avoid.
As the largest Chinese embassy in Japan, it is naturally not separated from the embassy district, so it is also taken care of by the wayββββββ although the Japanese may not be willing to take care of it.
What really makes Zhang Lixin feel fortunate is that their embassy is a reinforced concrete building, and there are very few wooden buildings in the entire embassy. This is not only true of them here, but also mostly in other parts of the embassy district. After all, unlike the Japanese, most of the embassies in this embassy area are from Western countries, or Latin American countries, which are basically not very popular with wooden buildings.
So when the fire hits, naturally, the losses are relatively less.
But there is no doubt that even without the fire, an earthquake alone would have caused considerable damage to the embassy. Some people are still buried under the collapsed buildings, unknown to life. And because there is no equipment, the embassy personnel can only use their bare hands to excavate.
On the other hand. As the Chinese embassy in Japan, Zhang Lixin is also doing what they should do. That is, to provide protection to the local diaspora as far as possible...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Sir..."
Just when Zhang Lixin looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, a young man suddenly walked not far away, with a tall posture and a military uniform.
"Oh, it's Xiao Li, how's it going?"
Seeing the young man, Zhang Lixin hurriedly cleaned up the expression on his face. Replaced with a smileββββββ but no matter how you look at it, this smile looks very reluctant.
At the same time, looking at Zhang Lixin's tired face, Li Feng couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Although most of the fires that had spread throughout the city have been extinguished, only a small number of areas remain. But in any case, it seems to many that the matter has finally come to an end.
It seems that the next thing is to save people, and then to rebuild the home.
However, only Li Feng and others knew how tired Zhang Lixin was on the eve of the fire being extinguished.
Leaving aside the constant threat of fire in the embassy district. Just as an ambassador, Zhang Lixin simply did not have that time to rest.
During the time when the fire was extinguished, Zhang Lixin had been working with the ambassadors of several other countries in the embassy area to find ways to build a firebreak around the embassy area. Avoid the fire from really burning in.
Then, when the fire had subsided a little, he immediately began to organize a search for expatriates living in Tokyo. Thankfully, there are Chinese people living in Tokyo. Usually they will report it to the embassy, at least to report their own address. It would also be easier to do anythingββββββ at least if you are harassed, you can get help from the embassy.
To know. Although the cause of the Heungya Association is indeed developing well at present, especially after the Korean War, after the last bit of arrogance of the Japanese was also defeated, many Japanese people suddenly woke up. However, there are also many people who have become more extreme, so although there are not many attacks on Chinese in Japan, it is not impossible, and at this time, the embassy needs to come forward to help protest or ask the Japanese government to investigate this matter...
If it is said that it is replaced by the former Chinese embassy, the Japanese government will certainly not take this kind of demand seriously, after all, the Japanese are famous for bullying the weak and fearing the hard. The Japanese obviously don't care much about the countries they are used to bullying.
However, after the Korean War, the Japanese could no longer put on their arrogant posture in front of the Chinese, so this kind of thing was also very concerned. This also led many overseas Chinese who originally lived in Japan to start reporting to the embassy, and when they encountered something, they would also go to the embassy for help.
The magnitude of the earthquake is conceivable that overseas Chinese in Tokyo will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble.
However, at the beginning, the fire was too big, and running out directly at that time was completely an act of looking for death, so Zhang Lixin waited until the fire was almost over before asking the embassy staff to go to find expats who might be in trouble with the reported address.
At this time, the tents in the courtyard of the embassy, except for the embassy staff, were basically the recovered expatriates.
Their houses had collapsed, they had no place to live, and it was clear that there would be no adequate food and water at this time. At this time, apart from the embassy, I believe that no one will have the ability to provide help in this regard.
In this process, there were several times when Zhang Lixin personally led the team to search, from the earthquake to the present, Zhang Lixin has almost never closed his eyes, which is also an important reason why he will be tired...
Especially as an embassy, Zhang Lixin never thought that the embassy would lack food and water, so the amount of materials stored in the embassy was not particularly large. In particular, a considerable amount of the materials are in the basements of some buildings, and these buildings have collapsed in the earthquake, and it is conceivable that the basements will never be able to enter in a short period of time.
So after leading a team to search. Zhang Lixin also had to go to the embassy next door and even the Japanese government to seek some assistance, and so on. Zhang Lixin's body can be said to be exhausted.
Merely...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Hearing Zhang Lixin's words, Li Feng glanced back. Then he smiled bitterly.
"Our guys are searching the city for the surviving diaspora, but as you know, the city has changed completely. And after the earthquake and fire, I'm afraid no one will stay in place, so so far, only these dozens of people have been recovered..."Speaking of this, Li Feng suddenly said again. "But my men will continue to search for the mission, and they will definitely bring back every surviving expatriate as much as possible!"
"Hmm..."
Uh-huh, sorry sorry. It must be made up in the next two hours!!
