In addition to the above reasons, the Japanese government also has a very common opinion, they believe that even if the Chinese experts have such ability, the Chinese government does not have the kind of good intentions to take care of them, after all, everyone is still in the early stage because of the problem of the proportion of naval tonnage and the problem of African territory, and it is very unpleasant.

Therefore, they are quite certain that the Chinese government is digging a hole for them and trying to deceive them into making trouble. This is because according to the scope of the disaster areas that China has assigned to them, they are all the best areas of Japan, and if these areas are shut down for more than half a month, how much damage will it cause? Not to mention the loss of government credibility and the consequences of mass panic.

Well, in fact, the bigwigs of the Japanese government are not wrong, Wen Deji has never been a kind person, and some noble things such as humanitarianism, ultimate care, internationalism, etc., have never been in his mind at all. In fact, Comrade Ulyanov's assessment of him in Pravda was not wrong at all: "The essence of the Chinese Science and Technology Socialist Party is that it is made with 50 percent nationalism, 30 percent imperialism, and 20 percent socialism, with some Chinese traditions as a glue. "He was a nationalist and statist through and through, without the slightest hint of the good qualities of a communist.

Wen Deji would give them information about the earthquake so generously, and he really didn't have any good intentions, and he was indeed digging a hole for them. No matter what Japan's attitude is towards China's earthquake warning, and whether they adopt it or not, China has earned it, the difference is only whether it earns more or less.

The first thing to get is of course "prestige", like this kind of good thing that can be angry with prestige without spending a few bucks and putting yourself on the moral high ground, Wen is always very willing to do. You see, we, the Chinese Government and the people of Chinese, have not been reminded of the old evils and have not cared about past grievances and grievances, and have informed Japan of such important news...... This fully embodies the traditional virtues and fine traditions of the Chinese nation, and fully embodies the full humanitarian spirit, which is the ultimate concern of human society, and what a great and noble sentiment this is......

"Yes, that's it! Believe it or not, I believe it anyway!" Mr. Wen said.

Prestige is also very important, and while it's nowhere near as good as cannons and bills, it's quite useful, and can sometimes do things that are hard to do with cannons and bills. Although it has no actual power, it is a kind of power amplifier, and when it has no power of its own, no amount of prestige is of any use, but if it has power, it is very useful.

After all, the vast majority of human beings yearn for Wei Guangzheng, whether he himself is Wei Guangzheng or not, but he will definitely not say that Wei Guangzheng is bad, at least not publicly. Even a proper villain evil organization will make a good-looking sign for itself, such as what kind of heaven, light, truth and other things will be added to the name, even if they can't stand it themselves, they will only use some neutral words. Only those villains of third-rate novels will take some names that are evil at first glance, as long as they are organizations with an IQ above the passing line, they will not be stupid enough to deliberately discredit themselves. And that's just the name, and they're going to add things to their program that look great, or at least seem good.

This is especially true for a government, and it is much easier for a government with great prestige to do things in the world, such as recruiting talents, international cooperation, and so on. And if it is operated well, there will be a large number of international self-dry five.

Therefore, China's earthquake warning against Japan this time has earned a lot of money in terms of prestige alone, regardless of other aspects.

As for Japan's reaction, that's not a problem at all. If they listen to it and want to relocate the disaster area, then a lot of production in their Kanto Essence area will have to be stopped, and this loss will be very large, and if one is not done well, it will lead to chaos, and it is not easy to resettle so many people, and Japan's grassroots organization ability at this time should not be mentioned. Even if they were really so obedient and moved people away and reduced their losses, China would have earned prestige.

The most likely thing is that the Japanese government did not take China's reminder seriously at all, and this is the most normal reaction. Just think about it, if someone suddenly says to a neighbor, "Your glass is likely to be broken in the next week, I can't be sure exactly when, I'm not sure how much it will break, but it will definitely be broken a lot." The most likely reaction from the neighbor was to roll his eyes and scold him for being insane.

Needless to say, after the earthquake breaks out, the Japanese people will have any feelings toward the government, and they will certainly think: China is kind enough to remind you, but you don't take it seriously, and now you bastards are to blame for such a big loss! Therefore, no matter how the Japanese government responds, China will definitely win in terms of prestige.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the earthquake must occur and the magnitude is large. If there is no earthquake or the magnitude is small, then it is not prestige, but funny. In that case, the international community will treat China as a joke, that is, pretending to be B will not change***. So this kind of prestige thing, although it seems simple, is not something that everyone can play.

September 1, 1923, Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing.

The Purple Mountain Observatory is the largest astronomical observatory in China, and its equipment is more advanced than its foreign counterparts. Professor Boyoshi Omori, a visiting scholar at the Department of Science at Tokyo Imperial University in Japan, was full of praise for this.

"These sets of astronomical telescopes are really so advanced! Your country's science and technology are really admirable! Our yellow people's achievements in science and technology are no worse than those of the white people in the West. No, it has far surpassed them, and there is no observatory in Europe and the United States that can compare to this!" said Omori Boyoshi excitedly after the visit. Omori Boyoshi is a famous Japanese seismologist, he is a real visiting scholar, not the kind of person who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep.

"Hehe, it's nothing, we're working on a larger telescope with an equivalent aperture of 16 meters. Said the Chinese scholar who was with him.

Omori's visit to China came because of China's warning of an earthquake in Japan last month. Although the Japanese government's bigwigs don't take it seriously and think that China is cheating them (as if it is), the Japanese academic community does not see it that way.

When China's earthquake warning was handed over to Japan, the Japanese government also consulted experts in the academic circles, and the two opinions in the Japanese seismological circles at that time were sharply opposed. Based on an analysis of historical earthquakes, the "affirmative faction" led by Akihiro Imamura pointed out that there was indeed a danger of a major earthquake in Tokyo, and that China's warnings were not groundless, and stressed the need to pay special attention to the occurrence of fires. However, Professor Omori, who is a leading seismological scientist in Japan, has always denied this statement on the grounds of avoiding confusion in people's minds, and he believes that the magnitude of the earthquake will not be too large.

There was a heated debate between the two factions about whether a major earthquake was about to hit Tokyo, and the debate continued even after the government adopted Omori's opinion. Although Omori denied China's predictions, he was very interested in China's breakthroughs in seismology, and last month he came to China as a visiting scholar to discuss with his peers. Of course, his opponent in academia, Akihiro Imamura, also came.

They are visiting the Observatory today and will have an academic exchange meeting with their Chinese counterparts in the afternoon. The Observatory is not only for the study of astronomy, but also for seismic observation.

At noon, Omori and the others were chatting in the cafeteria while eating lunch at the observatory.

"Chinese cuisine is wonderful! It's such a sumptuous light meal......," said a few Japanese who devoured with their heads buried in their heads.

Several staff members of the observatory were shocked by their appearance, and a young man couldn't help but whisper: "Are these Japanese all evil ghosts reincarnated?"

"I think the food in Japan must be super unpalatable, just look at them like that...... one girl said sympathetically.

Omori's eating appearance is much more elegant, and he also feels a little embarrassed when he sees his subordinates like that, and when he looks around, he deliberately looks for a topic. "What about Professor Imamura, why didn't you see him?" If you look closely, you can't see only Imamura, but not only those "affirmative factions".

One of his subordinates raised his head, wiped his mouth full of oil and water with a tissue, and said, "Professor Imamura and a few colleagues are still in the earthquake observation room, oh, the observatory has brought them a boxed lunch......"

Omori was about to say something, when suddenly a staff member rushed in and shouted, "It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake! There's a huge earthquake in the direction of Tokyo!"

"Hula", the people who were eating hurriedly threw away the dishes and chopsticks and ran to the earthquake observation room. Omori and the others turned pale and hurriedly followed.

By the time Omori staggered into the seismic observation room, a large crowd of people was almost full of people, and everyone was talking about it under the main screen.

The main screen is a large rectangular brown glass pane with a map of the world drawn with white lines, and a red light is flashing in Tokyo. This indicates that an earthquake is happening in Tokyo, and it is very intuitive and clear at a glance.

Of course, it is impossible for foreigners to visit the real seismic detector and computer and other black technology, so in this open earthquake observation room, you can't see those black technology products, and the things used to display are some things that are more than ten or twenty years more advanced than modern mainstream technology. But even so, it was enough to blind their dog's eyes.

For example, the main screen in the seismic observation room is actually a very simple thing, with some light-emitting diodes buried under each area of the map, and white, yellow, and red represent different magnitudes from low to high. The red light means that the seventh level or higher is higher.

At this time, a man walked up to him and said, "Professor Omori, the seismograph just now showed that at 11:58 Tokyo time, there was an earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher in Sagami Bay...... This is his opponent Imamura Akihiro, but Imamura's face is not a little happy, and the white is blue, just like a dead man.

After a while, a man who was busy working in front of the instrument stood up and said loudly: "The magnitude of the earthquake just now has been calculated, it is 8 on the Richter scale." Level 1!"

"Oh......" exclaimed from the crowd.

"Quick, quick, go and contact the consulate!" Omori said quickly.

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

20 minutes ago in Tokyo.

It was a Saturday, and the city of Tokyo was bustling with people. Businessmen and office workers are still busy in the office building, and housewives are cooking on the fire. Because it's a Saturday, the station is full of people ready to go on vacation.

Several police officers stood next to a shop in Ginza and talked. A middle-aged policeman couldn't help frowning when he looked at the notice on the gate that said "Temporarily closed for half a month". This is a Chinese hot pot restaurant, usually business is very good, but a few days ago the boss said that something to leave, temporarily closed for half a month.

A young policeman ran over and said to the middle-aged man: "Sanshi senior, sure enough, many Chinese shops have closed during this time, either closed down, or directly changed hands, and their people have also left Tokyo." ”

"Sanshi senior, could what Chinese say be true......" A policeman couldn't help but ask.

"It's hard to say, but the Chinese government has withdrawn all their people, so be careful...... Mishi said, touching his chin. He wasn't worried, and last week he sent his wife and children back to his hometown in Sendai. "Have you sent all your family away?"

The policemen all nodded, but one of them said: "Senior, my brother does not want to go, he said that the cabinet has said, there will be nothing at all, we Japan does not have an earthquake one day, the Chinese like to make a fuss." ”

Although the Japanese government's warning against China was not taken seriously, it also blocked the news for fear of causing social panic. But this kind of thing can't be blocked, the Japanese government can block the media they control, but foreign radio stations can't. So the news still leaked to the people. As a result, the Japanese government had no choice but to engage in crisis public relations and invite all kinds of bricks to argue that Tokyo is safe, that there will be no major earthquakes, and that there is no need to worry about Yunyun......

Of course, the policemen like Sanshi also knew the news, and they were very familiar with social dynamics, so they were also skeptical at first. However, when they saw a large number of Chinese leaving the city, they couldn't sit still, and for the sake of insurance, they sent away everything their families could send away. Of course, they don't dare to publicize it everywhere, so they can only do it secretly in private, otherwise their superiors will be the first to jump out and clean them up.

"Have you remembered the 'Earthquake Responses' mentioned in 'Voice of Japan' for Youth?" said Miishi in a low voice.

"Remembered. Everyone nodded.

Sanshi and the others were talking and walking, and as soon as they reached an intersection, they heard a sudden "quack" sound from the ground, and then the earth shook up and down, followed by a tight shaking.

"It's not good, it's an earthquake! Hurry! Go to the open field!" Sanshi's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran forward in the lead, and after the policemen were stunned, they also ran away.

The earth, which had always been quiet and calm, was now restless, and the ground swayed from side to side, up and down, and some of the ground even undulated like waves, and became more and more intense.

When the earthquake reaches its peak, people seem to be in a small boat on the sea at the crest of the peaks and valleys, unable to stand or move, and can only be at the mercy of the earth, which has lost its former stability. People were thrown into the air by the trembling earth, either dead or wounded. There were no dead or injured people trying to escape from the crumbling houses, but their feet did not listen.

The various houses rooted in the earth could not withstand the violent shaking of the earth, shaking like toys, and there were very few houses that could withstand such a severe test. Cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama are like boiling pots, and all kinds of buildings are shaking violently, and the walls and columns are wailing, first the tiles falling and the walls falling, and finally the entire collapse.

Japanese cities are so densely built that some of those who barely managed to escape from their houses did not escape their misfortune, or were killed and injured by collapsed houses, or buried in the rubble. Others, numb by the sudden shock of the earth, sat and sat back as they watched the collapsed buildings pounce on them.

The rumbling of the earthquake, the groans of the injured, the cries of the uninjured are all in one place, and it is creepy. Most people were overwhelmed by the shaking of the ground caused by the earthquake and were buried alive in collapsed houses. Many died before they could figure out what was going on.

Those crushed in collapsed houses are powerless to extricate themselves, and those who are lucky enough to survive are powerless to save them. Even if a person is not killed by the earthquake, he can only watch his loved ones die under the rubble until death strikes. No one came to the aid of anyone who was uninjured or slightly injured under the rubble of the collapsed house, and a few days later died of hunger and thirst.

In the Great Kanto Earthquake, in addition to the heavy casualties caused by the collapse of houses, the earth also opened its mouth with a basin of blood. The great chasm caused by the earthquake directly devoured the flesh and blood of human beings. Some were lucky enough to escape the collapse of their houses, only to fall into the cracks in the earth and drown alive in the gushing groundwater. Those who were not drowned tried to climb up from the crack, but the "bloody mouth" - the crack suddenly closed again, and many people were squeezed to death. After the car fell into the crack, when the crack merged, the car and the people in the car were squeezed into discus and meatloaf by the extremely strong pressure, and there was a howl from time to time in the crack. Some of the cracks spewed out jets of water, shooting straight into the ground, and the bodies of those who were crushed to death were sprayed to the ground by the powerful currents of water. Some of the people who were crushed in the rubble were drowned by the water rising from the ground. The earth is torn in half and swallows all the people in the house into the earth.

The violent crustal movement caused by the earthquake caused landslides and ground cracks, and large landslides occurred in many places. A large forest slid down the valley from Tianhu Mountain at a speed of more than 90 kilometers per hour, ran over a railway, and poured a large pile of human fragments into Xiangmo Bay, and the sea water in a radius of several kilometers was dyed red.

The entire Kanto region of Japan was suddenly plunged into chaos...... There was no one to help those who were injured or had only slightly been injured, and a few days later they died of hunger and thirst.
