In the radiation area of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Wang Qiu and others, who had been busy fighting the fire for two days, were waiting for the drunken Russian werewolves to wake up and start work, while nibbling on the field rations of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces brought by Defense Minister Kobayakawa Morinatsu, which was supposed to be lunch.

I have to say that although the combat effectiveness of the Self-Defense Forces is really not complimentary, the taste of field rations is really good.

-- A long, long time ago, the mighty and bloodthirsty Imperial Japanese Army, which dominated East Asia, used to be an extremely "thrifty" army of beggars called Hanako, as long as they were allowed to nibble on rice balls mixed with wheat and stinky salted radish, and even "levy on the spot" (synonymous with robbery) along the way like the ancient Japanese pirates, they could fight all the way from the icy Siberia to the scorching sun of Indonesia. If you can have a few fingers of salted fish to eat, or some jelly beans and toffee as snacks, it will be like a Chinese New Year's holiday.

However, times are always changing. Just as the current People's Liberation Army will no longer use the black beans fed to the horses as food for the soldiers, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, which have long been highly sprouted, obviously can no longer let them eat rice balls and salted radishes all day long to live - the life of the Great Japanese Imperial Army in the past was so miserable, and the reason why some people still enthusiastically joined the army was first of all because of the prevalence of militarism in Japan in those years, and the social status of soldiers was extremely high; The second is that Japanese society at that time was generally poor, and the food and clothing of ordinary people was worse than that in the army, and it was considered a good meal if they could eat white rice.

After the war, the whole of Japan was turned upside down. The first is the total bankruptcy of militarist ideology. The military has become a taboo word, and members of the Self-Defense Forces have become the object of widespread discrimination in society, not to mention any social status in Japan.

At the height of the situation, many cities in Japan simply refused to accept the household registration of self-defense personnel (to prevent the immigrants of stinky soldiers), and marriage agencies could not find girls willing to marry self-defense officers...... As the saying goes, "a good man is not a soldier" is also.

Secondly. With the rapid development of Japan's post-war economy and the rapid improvement of the living standards of the Japanese people, the demand for the treatment of soldiers will naturally rise. Given this state of affairs. If the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are allowed to continue to live a shabby life like the Imperial Japanese Army, with little food and clothing...... Well, then the Ministry of Defense may have to recruit criminals from prisons, or recruit illegal Filipino immigrants to serve as self-defense officers - that kind of army might as well not be!

So. Since the re-establishment of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces after the war, the living and eating conditions have been quite good. The most basic food standard in ordinary times is a buffet of four dishes and one soup plus rice, fruits, drinks and snacks, basically there are steaks, fish and other "good ingredients" that can be sacrificed at every meal, and they eat as much as they like, until they are full (after the collapse of the bubble economy, the food standard of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces was reduced to two dishes and one soup for a period of time, which made the pampered self-defense officers complain, and also made the old man Wang, who has only two dishes and one soup at each meal, cry), in addition to the candy and cigarettes distributed. Due to the heisei who enlisted in the army due to severe myopia. They are generally not very happy to cook, so there is usually no full-time cooking class in the SDF camps, but cooks are hired directly from the private sector – basically like the canteens of large companies.

As for when they are on duty or conducting field exercises, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces also have very good field rations -- the Japanese Self-Defense Forces currently have two main types of field rations. One is the traditional type, codenamed "Type I ration". Mainly shelf-stable tinplate canned food, such as dry bread, compressed dry food and canned food, etc. The other is the new jishu type, codenamed "Type II ration", which is a flexible packaging (soft canned) ration made by using advanced retort pouch jishu, such as curry rice, fried rice, Japanese risotto, fish steak, hamburger beef, etc. When there was a lack of fuel to make a fire or there was no marching stove, each package of rations contained a tablet of fever medicine. Just pour some water into it and in 15 minutes the set will be heated to an edible temperature. …,

The field rations that Kobayakawa Mori Natsu got from the Shinjuku Seya base this time were basically "Type II rations" in flexible packaging. Even in Japan, this thing is very popular among military fans. Some field workers and college students who are planning to organize picnics also often ask for field rations from the Self-Defense Forces. Due to the large number of potential customers, there are always scandals of logistics non-commissioned officers being caught secretly reselling field rations......

According to the legend on the field ration wrapper, after heating with fever medicine, Wang Qiu poured steaming hot curry potato roast pork and rich sauce into a disposable plate, mixed it with hot haode rice, and poured out the heated hamburger beef, grilled fish steak and tuna salad from the other three soft-packed retort bags, plus small biscuits, crispy sausages and konpeito as snacks, a bowl of instant miso soup with dehydrated vegetables, kelp and shiitake mushrooms, and a bag of black tea with honey. Immediately, all kinds of strong aromas wafted out, causing people to salivate.

Even in the wilderness, where conditions are relatively simple, the food of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces still follows the high standard of four dishes and one soup.

How so? It feels more sumptuous than the picnic at the university, and compared to the instant noodles eaten during the Spring Festival, it is even more heaven and earth.

“…… Hmmm, it's really delicious! It would be nice if the cafeteria in our university also had this level! ”

Wang Qiu was contented with scooping hot curry rice and hamburger steak into his mouth with a spoon while muttering to his elder sister Wang Yao.

“…… The cost price of each of these field rations for the Self-Defense Forces is 7,000 yen, which is equivalent to how many yuan you can convert yourself......"

Wang Yao, who was poking the little sausage with a fork, broke Wang Qiu's fantasy with just one sentence, "...... If you are willing to spend so much money, it is enough to go to a restaurant in China, and you still need to eat this death-expensive convenience food? ”

“…… Scare? It's so expensive? Belch...... I feel like it's more than I expected! In this regard, Wang Qiu had to stick out his tongue.

While everyone was enjoying this lunch. The small radio they placed next to them was also playing today's noon news. Due to the radiation interference, the radio signal was very unclear, and the rustling noise was harsh, but it was barely audible.

“…… Hiss...... According to incomplete statistics, more than 8,600 people died in the Tokyo area alone during the three-day riots. More than half a million houses were burned...... Hiss...... Combined with the damage to other cities in Japan, direct property losses alone are expected to be more than 200 billion yen...... Hiss...... And. The Kanto Plain and Tohoku regions are still under serious threat of nuclear radiation, and millions of people are still being evacuated to the Kansai region. There are traffic accidents and gang crimes along the way......"

If the above-mentioned losses are basically numb to Wang Qiu and others who are at the scene of the disaster, then the next financial news broadcast will make Wang Yao, who had just bought all her savings into financial products not long ago, feel deeply distressed for a while.

“…… Today's stock market ...... It seems worse than I expected! It's only been half a day since the market opened, and it's already all down limits! ”

Listening to the bad news coming out of the radio, one by one, the fall limit, the suspension of the market, the bankruptcy of the bank and the absconding of the president, Wang Qiu found that his sister Wang Yao's expression was becoming more and more weird, especially when the news came out of the news that a famous big bank had been run and collapsed, and the president jumped off the building and committed suicide. Wang Yao's face became even paler than pale - all the financial assets accumulated in the past few years of working in Japan have all been wiped out! …,

“…… It's over, it's over! It's all over! After this time, I have to find Xiaotori You-chan to extort a large amount of money! ”

She viciously poked the sausage on the plate in front of her with her fork, as if she was poking some enemy, "...... Otherwise, it's really for nothing! ”

And in the speaker of the radio. The host of this show is still using a rhythmic tone to continue to explain today's financial disaster.

“…… As the saying goes, the poor kill with a sword, and the rich kill with gold...... Today, our financial markets have ushered in a Black Monday. This will be followed by a Black Tuesday. Then came Black Wednesday, Black Thursday...... Japan. Falling into the abyss! ”

“…… As the saying goes, the poor kill with a sword, and the rich kill with gold...... Today, our financial markets have ushered in a Black Monday. This will be followed by a Black Tuesday. Then came Black Wednesday, Black Thursday...... Japan, is falling into the abyss! ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Nagata Town, Chief Cabinet Secretary Junzaburo Izumita, who had been having a nervous breakdown for several days, reported to Prime Minister Maharo Kotori Yu, who was sitting on a high-backed chair and dangling his little feet, with a dull and numb expression of despair:

“…… In the midst of this unresolved nuclear crisis, Japan's financial sector has already been plunged into the most terrible disaster in history. And this joint offensive of the major hedge funds is tantamount to another kick on the Japanese who are sliding to the edge of the cliff!

In the financial markets, our enemy is all shijie, while our liliang is almost equal to zero – according to financial experts, with all the amount of money that the government can mobilize, even if it is used to inject capital into the banks to bail out the market, it will at best slightly alleviate the crisis situation in Japan's two major securities markets. But in the face of a larger overseas financial market, such a bailout is simply futile.

Even if we can support the market a little on the first day, over time, our limited 'ammunition' will surely be depleted before the enemy gives up the attack, as was the case with Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines during the 1997 Southeast Asian financial tsunami. At that time, we will not even be able to afford to deal with the nuclear crisis and provide relief to the refugees, so we will have to turn to the international financial community for help and accept a series of unequal treaties that have humiliated the country! ”

Speaking of which, Junzaburo Izumita, who was still full of indignation, was almost left with panic and confusion in his heart - in just one day, the financial turmoil that was temporarily postponed by the weekend has broken out in full force, sweeping all types of stocks, securities and bonds, and even the ratio of the yen to the dollar has begun another round of plummeting, and it is estimated that it is very likely to break the red line of 120 yen to 1 dollar in a few days!

This reminded Junzaburo Izumida of the tragic years of the collapse of the bubble economy – bank failures, insurance company failures, real estate crashes, and a wave of unemployment...... The whole country has entered a gloomy age of depression. Until Zuihou did not completely break free from this disaster.

And now, the old scars of the Japanese economy have not really healed, and new blows are about to follow.

In the financial pages of the Yomiuri Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun, experts and scholars have written at length about the concrete steps taken by which the entire Japanese economy has collapsed – first, domestic real estate companies, especially those in the Kanto region near the Fukushima nuclear radiation zone, are almost certain to go bankrupt; The large Japanese banking groups, which hold a large number of shares of real estate companies, will naturally collapse; Businesses that have gone out of business in the midst of a crisis. There is no longer access to capital or other forms of help, because the banks that can finance and guarantee these businesses have also failed. …,

zuihou, the Japanese government that is powerless to return to heaven. It is also about to fall into a desperate situation of complete bankruptcy: the Japanese government's huge debt burden has already set a record, and now it is due to natural disasters that it is worried about the Japanese government's ability to repay. Naturally, no one is willing to buy Japanese government bonds – which is a catastrophe for the Japanese government, which always relies on bond issuance for half of its annual fiscal expenditure.

Under these circumstances, the Japanese government had to sell off what little capital Zuihou had turned over – some of the overseas assets that had been left over from the economic boom by the conscientious "corporate warriors" of the past. When these inheritances are squandered by unscrupulous descendants, everything will be over.

What's worse is that this process has in fact begun – a run, one of the most terrifying phenomena in the banking world, has become one of the most common sights on the streets of Tokyo. Many elderly Japanese still have vivid memories of the collapse of the bubble economy, when major banks collapsed one after another, and their life savings were wiped out. It's natural to want to keep cash in your hands as much as possible. Since noon on Monday, September 29, long queues have formed in front of the business offices of banks in Tokyo, filling up with people with passbooks and checks waiting to squeeze cash, resulting in several stampedes.

Supermarkets are also crowded with people rushing to buy food, drinking water and fuel, and the prices of various daily necessities in the domestic market have skyrocketed.

The saddest thing is. Since the yen is depreciating rapidly and will fall into waste paper if it is not done well, people have just run cash out of banks that have not yet failed, and as soon as they turn around, they can't wait to convert these yen into foreign currencies, whether it is the US dollar, the euro, the Chinese yuan, the pound, the Hong Kong dollar, the Korean won, the New Taiwan dollar, the ruble or even the Indian rupee! It seems that as long as it is not yen. Even if it's Mexican peso and Vietnamese dong!

Such a bleak scene seems to have occurred only in the entire history of Japan, just after the defeat of the Pacific War.

In this regard, Junzaburo Izumita, who is the de facto ruler of the cabinet, is both sad and sad, but he cannot find a way to turn the tide.

And his niece and boss, the famous Prime Minister of the AKB singer Kotoriyu, seems to have an alternative idea full of the style of the second disease.

“…… In other words, the Japanese government is on the verge of bankruptcy, and we simply can't save it, and China and Russia have no intention of helping – unless we bow down to Beijing's Zhongnanhai as we did when we served the United States, maybe there's still a little hope or two? ”

Under the gaze of Junzaburo Izumita, Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mahaku first lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then a ghostly light flashed in the glass-colored eyes on the left, and then finally opened his mouth slowly, and only halfway through his speech, he had another attack of middle two diseases, "...... Kukuku - Uncle Izumita! My evil king's true eyes have seen destruction and rebirth! Independence and freedom are never free! Only by cleaning the old courtyard can we have a bright future! Let the fire of the red lotus of destruction burn down the decaying and moth-eaten edifice! We will work miracles on the ruins! ”

“…… Where is this?! Please, can you speak a little more normally? ”

As an adult who had already graduated from the state of secondary two diseases, Junzaburo Izumida turned his mind several times with great difficulty, and only then did he barely understand the meaning of this singer with secondary two diseases, "...... My dear niece, you mean...... Let the Japanese government go bankrupt like this?! How can this be?!! ”

“…… Isn't it just that the government is bankrupt! What's not to do? At this time, Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mahaku seemed to have returned to normal, and I saw her head tilted back, and the whole person leaned on the back of the leather swivel chair, with a calm and leisurely expression, "...... It seems that the Icelandic government went bankrupt at the beginning of this century. Isn't it a good haode yet? Japan is also an island country, so can't Weishenme learn from Iceland's good example? ”

“…… Hey, hey! How can Iceland, with only 300,000 people, and Japan, with a population of 140 million, be compared?! ”

Regarding the whimsical and crazy idea of his niece, Junzaburo Izumita, who couldn't cry or laugh, didn't know how to complain.

But strictly speaking, when everything is completely hopeless, this can indeed be said to be a solution that is not a solution. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
