Chapter 43 International Attitudes
With the silence of the earth dragon, the earthquake has completely stopped, and the remaining survivors are actively trying to save themselves.
The patrolling police began to maintain basic order, and years of earthquake education worked well.
Although everyone was panicked and helpless, everyone knew what they were supposed to do, and they didn't make a big mess.
In the high-end office building in Shinjuku, many office workers who were hiding in the corner began to rush downstairs after confirming that the earthquake was over.
Gorou also fled with the flow of people, and he now prays that his wife will not have an accident.
Today he went out and forgot to bring the document bag, and when he arrived at the company, he found that he had to use the bracelet to ask his wife to send the document bag to the company.
No one would have thought that just ten minutes later, the whole of Tokyo would be turned upside down.
The earthquake destroyed everyone's normal life, although thanks to the excellent seismic design, there was no widespread collapse of the building.
But now it's still not safe, and I need to find an open place to take refuge.
………
In the elevator, the three of them heard footsteps outside, shouted for help, and desperately banged on the door of the elevator cabinet, but no one stopped to save them.
The frightened people are running for their lives, fearing that the next aftershock will collapse the building.
Anyone who has lived in Neon knows that an earthquake will be followed by aftershocks.
There are many people who survived the first major earthquake, but were crushed to death by collapsed buildings in the second aftershock.
A large number of buildings were designed to withstand the first seismic wave, but they did not dare to guarantee the aftershocks.
In the eyes of experienced people, aftershocks are far more terrifying than the first seismic wave.
Footsteps and the sound of people talking outside the door rang out three times, but no one stopped to save them.
The three of them were a little desperate, and it was impossible for the three of them to open the closed elevator door.
The three of them shouted that they were tired and sat down to think of ways to save themselves.
Gorou was still running up the stairs above, and he followed closely the person in front of him, even though he felt that the person in front of him was also a headless fly.
They had already missed, and there were several intersections that he could go down to, which made him a little upset.
I want to leave the team alone, but I am afraid that something will happen and I will be alone.
While he was hesitating, the bracelet vibrated violently, and the entire bracelet began to glow red, and the SOS distress signal filled the entire light screen.
He clicked on the message and found that the person asking for help was his wife who was asked to get the documents, Tamako Kawatani!
As soon as he thought of this, his heart couldn't help but lift up, and when the Internet was already disconnected, he could receive a distress signal in such a place, indicating that his wife was not far away from him.
He left the army and, following the location hints on the bracelet, began to look for his wife.
On the map, the wife's point of light has not moved, indicating that she is trapped somewhere, perhaps waiting for her to be rescued.
He ran wildly, and kept shouting fools, fools! I don't know if I'm scolding myself or talking about someone else.
At this moment he forgot the danger, forgot his situation, and all he could think about was his wife, because he was a man, a husband!
Following the guidance of the bracelet, he finally found the vicinity of the elevator, he glanced at the elevator, did not feel any sound inside, and turned around, he did not expect his wife to be trapped in the elevator, he searched the surrounding rooms like crazy, and shouted his wife's name.
Only his voice echoed in the empty floor, and the silence around him was as if it were death, and the silence made him panic! An inexplicable fear enveloped him.
He set his sights on the parts that had collapsed due to the earthquake, imagining that his wife might be buried underneath.
The three in the elevator finally heard some faint noise outside.
Chiyo Asahara put her ear to the elevator door and listened carefully to the outside world.
"Someone seems to be shouting about Tamako outside?" She said to the two people in the back.
Tamako Kawaya raised her head in surprise, she threw herself in front of the cabinet door, and shouted while banging on the cabinet door, "Goro, I'm here!" Gorou, I'm here! ”
Although he knew that the possibility of making her husband outside was relatively small, as long as there was a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, she was unwilling to give up!
Finally, Goro, who was outside, also heard the shouts in the elevator, and he rushed to the elevator to inquire about his wife inside.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after making sure she was okay.
The terrifying sights in my mind just now were all scaring myself.
After making sure that his wife was safe, he began to use his brain, thinking about how to open the elevator door to save his wife.
"Mr. Kawatani, you can find out if there are any sharp weapons such as fire axes around, and use the axe to split this elevator cabinet door." Miss Yamaguchi calmly put forward her thoughts.
It seems that Lady Luck favors him very much, and not far from the elevator door there is a fire cabinet with a fire hydrant high-pressure water cannon and a fire axe.
He smashed the glass outside with the chair next to him, pulled out his fire axe and began to pry open the elevator cabinet door.
When a slit appeared in the elevator door, the three people inside also helped to open the elevator door until it expanded into a gap that could accommodate one person to pass sideways.
Half an hour later, the exhausted four people finally escaped from the high-end office building.
Looking at the smoke-billowing city, the four of them were glad and felt confused, their original lives had been completely destroyed, where should they go now?
But the police, who stand in the streets to maintain order, send them to the nearest shelter, where they will have enough time to think about their future lives.
Located in the heart of Tokyo, inside the Imperial Palace's underground shelter Kitanomaru, Emperor Konomiya discusses the current situation with the neon prime minister.
"What about the loss of personnel now?" The emperor asked.
"I'm sorry Your Majesty, but now ** is in a state of semi-paralysis, and we can't count the losses in all of Tokyo.
What we need most now is to mobilize the nearby police and army to maintain order in the city.
There is also a large amount of food, clean water, tents and daily necessities to ensure the basic livelihood of the survivors. Prime Minister Ichiro Tanaka bowed his head and followed behind the emperor.
After listening to the Prime Minister's advice, the Emperor nodded.
"And we need to restore Tokyo's function as a war city as soon as possible!" Ichiro Tanaka added with a serious face.
The Emperor frowned slightly after hearing this, "The Sword Saint has already taken action and suppressed the Earth Dragon, and the rest of the young people dare to peep into Tokyo?" ”
Ichiro Tanaka's expression became even more humble, he buried his head lower, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, of course those monsters that have evolved wisdom will not dare to come and invade us.
But the brainless beasts don't care that much, and Tokyo has to fight off at least three irrational monsters every month.
The most recent attack was three days ago, and according to the estimates of the military department, the next one should be four days later.
Therefore, we must restore the normal operation of the military fortress as soon as possible. ”
The Emperor nodded, but asked with some confusion, "Can't you ask the Sword Saint to help?" ”
"Your Majesty, a powerhouse of the level of Lord Sword Saint can only attack monsters at the level of ten calamities, this is the tacit understanding between us and monsters, if we break this rule without authorization, then we will immediately provoke a big war." Ichiro Tanaka explained.
"Then it's up to you." The Emperor was impatient, and after saying that, he went back to his bedroom to rest, leaving the Prime Minister alone in the hall.
Ichiro Tanaka bowed and saluted until the emperor disappeared at the intersection, when he straightened up.
With the order of the neon official, a large number of police officers in the area around Tokyo were emptied.
The high-ranking officials don't care about the civilians below because of how badly they are blackmailed by the underworld after the police are transferred.
Now the whole world is watching the reconstruction of Tokyo and the official actions of Neon.
"We need to support Neon, and if Tokyo is destroyed by those brainless monsters, then Asia will fall into the hands of the alliance between China and Russia.
This is a great threat to the establishment of a great international order for us. "A white man in his 30s with blue eyes and hair shouting loudly at the White House Assembly!
"Councillor Bruce, we can understand your eagerness, and we can actually relate to that.
But to support Tokyo, we need to transfer Guam's three giant soldiers, and once Guam is attacked by monsters, we will be even more passive internationally.
At that time, we will also lose the fulcrum of the defense of the North Pacific, which will greatly weaken our voice in the Australian public theater!
I'd rather lose Tokyo than lose Australia! A white man in his 50s calmly analyzes the current state of affairs, this old man is the leader of the Democratic Party, and he has a strong appeal in Congress.
"And it's not just this problem, military spending is also a big problem, and Neon is now financially depleted and can't afford it.
If we pay for it ourselves, we will go bankrupt in 10 days unless we raise taxes! A veteran Republican congressman is also in line with the old man before him.
Congressman Bruce looked back at the Republican congressman in his camp in some dismay, and after a moment his face was distorted, he felt betrayed and left the room in anger. "You'll regret your decision today!"
Most of the parliamentarians over the age of 50 smiled, and the barking of the defeated dog was only worthy of the winner's fun! No one will take his words seriously.
Think he's just a guy who pretends to be amazing in order to fight for a position.
The old man put away his smile just now and coughed lightly, "Okay guys, that's all for jokes, let's talk about business." ”
All the councillors stopped laughing, and everyone looked at the old man with respect.
"Now that Tokyo has been battered, it remains to be seen whether the Tokyo Fortress will still be functional.
My opinion is to put pressure on the sticks to move the only Titan near Tokyo in case Tokyo is actually breached!
And the U.S. ambassador in Neon was summoned to express our opinion to the Neon official.
The Tokyo Fortress must not be breached! Disaster relief, emergency rescue, must make way for war! ”
After the old man finished speaking, all the councillors stood up and applauded, after all, this plan did not touch anyone's interests.
It's better than that Leng Touqing, who has to cut a knife on everyone and bleed to raise funds to save Tokyo, I don't know how many times.
Even though most people understand that it is difficult to keep the Tokyo fortress safe with a single giant soldier, it can at least share some of the pressure.
The Tokyo fortress has never been breached since it was built, and everyone will not believe that she will be breached this time!
