September 3, 2764 (1923), Hanjing.

"Mr. Wen, has China provided assistance to Japan in response to the Great Kanto Earthquake?" Many non-governmental media are now calling for disaster relief ...... for Japan," Gu Xiaolu asked.

"Well, I see......" Wen Dehei's expression was a little like constipation. He also saw some of the non-governmental newspapers on the market, all of them calling for donations of money and materials to Japan, and the "Declaration" also called for organizing volunteers to go to Japan for disaster relief. Of course, these newspapers unanimously called on the government to come forward and organize relief efforts.

For example, Gu Weijun, vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, came to Mr. Wen yesterday and said: "China's duty to provide disaster relief and compassion to its neighbors cannot be left idly by, and the government should order and persuade the people to jointly raise funds for relief." ”

"Xiaolu, do you think I'm going too far, so I've fooled myself. I never thought that the moral level of our people would be so high, and that they would have such an internationalist spirit......" Mr. Wen said with an embarrassed face.

"Our moral level in China is already very high...... Gu Xiaolu glanced at him, and said disappreciatively: "In the original history, the Liaodong and South Manchurian railways were lost, 21 articles were signed, and the Yichang tragedy and the Changsha tragedy also occurred, even in this case, the people of Chinese were still so active in donating money and materials to Japan. Not to mention that now, it's all us who are hanging Japan and beating it. Even the slightest bit of hatred in history is gone, and of course everyone can't hate Japan......"

"In this way, we in China are still in the camp of order and goodness......"

"No, I think it's neutral kindness!"

"Okay......" Wen Deji arched his hand to his wife, saying that I am convinced, please ask the master to receive the supernatural powers.

Of course, he also understood that although he himself felt a little depressed, it was mainly because he had traveled from the original plane and plane. The Liang Zi of China and Japan in that plane has a big relationship, even if he is not the kind of angry youth who thinks about the "Tokyo Massacre" all day long, but it is difficult to have a good impression of Japan. However, the social background of the original plane is different, although there is still the shame of Jiawu, but in the ugly war, even the original profit has been recovered, since this feud has been avenged, then the Chinese people naturally have no reason to hate Japan.

And in the time that followed, Japan's trembling temper flare-up, and it took a lot of effort to get a good relationship with China. Asianism occupies a large market in both the Japanese government and the opposition, and Japan has also sent various nongovernmental organizations to visit China, especially using the exchanges between the two countries in ancient times as a selling point, vigorously propagating that China and Japan have the same language and the same species, and that they have a profound traditional friendship, and so on, and even sent several films praising the traditional friendship between the two countries.

Although the two sides have been somewhat unhappy in the past two years because of the naval ratio and the British and French colonies in Africa, the mainstream relations between the two countries are still very friendly, especially the economic and trade exchanges between the two countries are very close. Of course, there is another very important factor, which is intermarriage. In the past ten years, nearly 1 million Japanese girls have married in China, and almost 1 million Japanese girls have worked in China's special industries.

The pillow wind is the most powerful wind in the world, and without harming the general righteousness and their own interests, pulling the opposite "relative" is also a choice that normal people will make, so everyone understands it......

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of brushing up prestige or appeasing the sentiments of the people, it is necessary to provide assistance to Japan, otherwise it will not be a slap in the face. Of course, this aid is also skillful, and you can't just send everything as soon as your brain is hot.

Wen Desi thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, Xiaolu." Last time we had an earthquake in Kaiwon, how much did Japan give us?"

Gu Xiaolu took out the handheld computer and clicked it, and handed it to him directly: "It's all here, you can see for yourself......"

"Oh, not bad......" Wen Deji nodded as he looked at the numbers above.

This is a list of donations made by the Japanese government and the private sector to China during the Great Kaiwon Earthquake. At that time, when Sino-Japanese relations were at their best, Japan was thinking that Moshan and Britain and France were a little unhappy, and in order to gain China's support and establish good relations, they donated a lot of things after the Haiyuan earthquake. The Japanese government contributed 3 million yen, foundations and private donations amounted to about 3 million yen, and 5 million yen worth of food, food, clothing, medicines, tents, supplies, and a medical team was dispatched to the disaster area to help.

In the end, he thought for a while and said: "I don't like to owe favors, but I don't want to be wronged, in principle, let's double it like this, if it's a little more, it's nothing, don't go too far......"

In the afternoon of the same day, the Chinese government announced that it would provide humanitarian aid to the disaster-stricken areas in Japan, giving the Japanese side 6 million yuan, 50,000 tons of rice and flour, as well as medicines, medical equipment, tents, ready-to-wear and other materials, which will be shipped to Tokyo on the same day.

The China Red Gourd Association also announced that it would send an international medical rescue team of 500 people to the Kanto region of Japan to participate in disaster relief work. In addition to these official and semi-official organizations, Chinese non-governmental organizations are also organizing fundraising for disaster relief.

Of course, this kind of prestige cannot but be promoted, and China's various media have also gone all out, and the people of the world have already known about China's righteous deeds before the disaster relief materials have been delivered to Japan. Some foreign media, which seem to have nothing to do with China, are also vigorously propagandizing, and their prestige: "The noble qualities of the Chinese people will always exude the brilliance of human nature!" "Facts have proved that the Chinese Government is a government full of humanitarian feelings, the Chinese leader is a leader with noble morals, and the Chinese people are a group of civilized and kind people! This is a bright country!"

..............................................................................

In stark contrast to China is the slow Japanese government.

Of course, it's not that they don't want to do well, it's that they don't have the ability. At this time, the Japanese government simply did not have the ability to deal with such a large natural disaster, and it lacked experience, so it appeared to be slow to respond, and the disaster relief organization was also clueless.

For example, they had a fire brigade, because of the disorganization, they were sent to a place surrounded by flames, but the local water source was destroyed, and the superiors did not let them evacuate in time, as a result, the fire brigade not only did not save people, but also paid for themselves. There are many similar oolong incidents. So there are a lot of losses that could have been avoided because their own mess missed the opportunity to save, or increased the losses.

In addition, there is a very unfortunate thing in Japan, that is, this time it is not only an earthquake, but also a huge tsunami caused by the huge waves, which frantically rushed to the ports, docks and beaches along the coast of Somo Bay.

In fact, it is difficult to escape from the tiger's mouth of the tsunami, because the huge waves rush to the coast at a speed of 750 kilometers per hour, so the people on the shore are instantly swallowed by the big waves, or swept into the depths of the ocean, or thrown into the air by the big waves, and some are thrown to land by the huge waves. The various ships anchored in the ports and docks were either crushed and sunk by the fierce waves, or they were sunk by the impact of the tsunami. After the tsunami receded, it swept away all the wrecked ships. A large fishing boat was once moored in the port of Yokohama, and the huge waves broke it to pieces, leaving no one on board alive.

Ports in Tokyo and Yokohama, dock facilities, and houses destroyed in the earthquake were also looted by the huge waves of the tsunami. After the violent sea calmed down, the beaches of Tokyo and other places turned into large garbage dumps, full of roofs of wooden houses, bed boards, doors and windows, fragments of boats, and human corpses. Something similar floats on the surface of the sea. But these remnants are only a small part of what is left of the fury of the sea, and most of them have been swallowed up by the sea and have long since disappeared without a trace.

The tsunami caused by the earthquake sank more than 8,000 ships of all kinds and paralyzed all large and small ports and wharves in Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Chiba. These places have experienced a real catastrophe.

These losses were not the most troublesome, but even more troubling, because most of the dock facilities were destroyed and the port channel was blocked by sunken ships, which prevented ships from other places from coming to the rescue to dock. They had to go to other ports that were not hit by the tsunami to unload their goods. However, due to the severe earthquake, the railways in the Kanto region have basically collapsed, the roads have been severely damaged, and the transportation system has been almost completely paralyzed. In other words, it is difficult to send disaster relief materials and relief personnel from the field.

Faced with this super mess, Yasuya Uchida couldn't stand it, and he resigned very happily. But everyone is not stupid, they all understand that whoever takes over in this situation is stupid. The current prime minister has become a hot potato, and for the first time since the Meiji Restoration, there has been a situation in which there is no contest for the position of prime minister.

Some civilian politicians and army politicians who originally played out their brains for the prime minister's throne are now all pretending to be deaf and dumb, either presuming their excuses on the grounds of lack of ability or hiding at home and pretending to be sick. In the end, after a big circle, the hat fell on the head of the former prime minister, Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto.

Because of the fiasco in the Sino-Japanese war, the Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet rolled down with infamy, and the subsequent revelation of the Siemens incident made the navy even worse, completely losing the possibility of entering the prime minister's throne. It wasn't until the outbreak of World War I that the Navy's performance in Europe finally earned its image.

Now seeing that everyone has shrunk their eggs, the regent Crown Prince Hirohito has to make an exception and directly designate the prime minister. As for what Hirohito thinks, it is difficult for outsiders to guess, it is estimated that he is angry, or it may be that he thinks that the civilian and military officials are unreliable, and the only thing left is the navy.

In fact, Yamamoto Gonbei didn't want to make such a head, and he wasn't stupid. But since the future "Sky Trouble Black Card" has been directly named, and it can't be pushed off, General Yamamoto has no choice but to pinch his nose and bite the bullet.

After discussing it for a while, the bigwigs of the navy also felt that although this was a mess, it was not an opportunity to turn over? So, Brother Yamamoto, for the sake of the future of our navy, you can rest assured, and we will strongly support you behind you.

Of course, the navy bosses are also very witty, they found representatives of the army and civilian officials, and directly said: It's okay for our navy to come out, but this pot can't be carried only by our navy, but everyone has to carry it together, otherwise the old men will not do it. You say you can do it, you can do it!

As a result, the Yamamoto cabinet established the Imperial Capital Reconstruction Council with the Prime Minister as its president, and the Imperial Capital Reconstruction Institute with Goto Uchi as its president. Representatives of the Army and political parties have all joined both organizations. Even Takahashi Kokiyo, president of the Constitution Association, and Takaaki Kato, president of the Constitutional Council, who refused to be prime minister and refused to join the cabinet, were also pulled in. For a time, Japan presented a peaceful scene that was unanimous throughout the country.

Yamamoto Gonbei is a soldier and an old fritter in the political arena, and he is not polite in the face of this situation. As soon as he came to power, martial law was promulgated, and at the same time the military was sent to participate in disaster relief and maintain order. The new cabinet has given the military a great deal of power, and once criminals are found in the disaster area, they can be shot on the spot without trial.

Under the iron fist of the Yamamoto cabinet, the social order that was about to collapse was quickly reversed. But they can only go so far, and the disaster relief efforts that follow have been difficult. For example, Uchiko Goto proposed a budget of 3 billion yen for reconstruction, but due to various conflicts, the Diet only approved a budget of less than 600 million yen.

But in any case, at least order was restored, and by mid-September, the final losses were counted. The Great Kanto Earthquake affected more than 4 million people, and the number of dead and missing people reached 160,000, which is a little more than the original plane, all because Japan's industry and shipping are also more developed than the original plane, and there are more workers in these places, and naturally more people die. In addition, more than 100,000 people were seriously injured and 2.5 million were left homeless.

In the face of this mess, the Japanese government's rescue efforts are a drop in the bucket, and less than one-tenth of the millions of victims can be fed and clothed. When people recover from the disaster, they begin to become dissatisfied with the government. There is no way, there are still very few people in this world who can still thank the government for being hungry and cold. What's more, this hunger and cold are caused by the government's sluggishness and stupidity, and if China had listened to the warning at that time, this would have happened

Thanks to the radio and television broadcasts, the Japanese knew much more about the outside world than they did in the same period of time and space, and they soon noticed the great earthquake in Haiyuan, China, which was described in the media. The magnitude of the earthquake was much higher than this one, but the Chinese government handled it very well, not to mention the few deaths, and even the post-disaster rescue was so in place.

Happiness is comparative, and unhappiness is also comparative. After learning about the efficiency of the Chinese government, when I look at the stupid and incompetent Japanese government, I feel that it is hateful.

In addition, some high-level scandals that have been intentionally or unintentionally exposed by foreign media, such as warnings about the deliberate blockade of China, have been exposed by conscientious media that they are all deliberately blocked by chaebols in order to make money and ignore the lives of working people. There is also the idea that the royal family did not think of a way to do it immediately after the earthquake, but took the lead in escaping to safety, and also put all the blame on the cabinet...... And so on, the Japanese are becoming more and more disillusioned with the current government and the imperial family.

The vast majority of people will turn aside whatever faith is related to their immediate interests when they encounter something related to their immediate interests. After all, human beings live in the real world, and the spirit is based on the material, when hunger and cold are pressing, who will take the royal family seriously?
