September 3, 1923, 2764 AD, Hanking.
"Mr.
Wen, regarding the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, will our country provide assistance?
Many private media are now calling for disaster relief for Japan," Gu Xiaolu asked.
"Well, I understand."
Wen Desi's expression looked a bit like constipation.
He has also seen some private newspapers on the market.
They are all calling for donations of money and materials to Japan.
The declarations also call for organizing volunteers to go to Japan for disaster relief.
Of course, these newspapers all unanimously called on the government to quickly organize disaster relief.
Even some senior government officials are also speaking out.
For example, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Gu Weijun came to speak to President Wen yesterday.
He said: "Our country's obligation to provide disaster relief and care for our neighbors cannot stand idly by.
The government should issue an order to persuade the people to jointly raise funds."
Relief."
"Xiao Lu, do you think I went too far and deceived all my own people?
I never thought that the moral level of our people is so high and that they have such an internationalist spirit."
Mr.
Wen said with embarrassment.
Face, said dumbfounded.
"The moral level of our country is already very high."
Gu Xiaolu rolled his eyes at him and said disapprovingly: "In the original history, the Liaodong and South Manchuria Railways were lost, twenty-one signed, and the Yichang Massacre and Even under such circumstances, the Chinese people are still so active in donating money and materials to Japan, not to mention that now, it is us who are holding Japan hostage, and there is not even the slightest hatred in history.
Of course no one can hate Japan anymore.”
"So, we in China are still in the camp of order and kindness."
"No, I think it's neutral and good."
"Okay."
Wen Desi bowed his hands to his wife, indicating that I was convinced and asked the master to accept the magical power.
Of course, he also understood that although he felt a little depressed, it was mainly because he had traveled from the original time and space.
The conflict between China and Japan in that dimension is huge.
Even if he is not the kind of angry young man who thinks about the "Tokyo Massacre" all day long, it is difficult for him to have a good impression of Japan.
But the social background of this plane is different.
Although there is still the shame of Sino-Japanese War, in the Guichou War, the situation has been restored with profit.
Since this revenge has been avenged, it is natural that the Chinese people will not Reason to hate Japan.
Moreover, in the following time, Japan's temper broke out, and it still took a lot of effort to establish a good relationship with China.
Asianism occupies a large market in both the Japanese government and the public.
Japan has also sent various non-governmental organizations to visit China, especially using the ancient exchanges between the two countries as a selling point, vigorously promoting the profound traditional friendship between China and Japan, sharing the same language and race, etc. etc., 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 due to problems with the naval ratio and the British and French colonies in Africa, the mainstream relationship between the two countries is still very friendly, especially the close economic and trade exchanges between the two countries.
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.
Pillow style is the most powerful style in the world.
Without compromising justice and one's own interests, it is also a choice that normal people would make, so everyone understands it.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of gaining reputation or appeasing people's emotions, aid to Japan is necessary, otherwise it would be a slap in the face.
Of course, this kind of assistance also comes with skills, and you can't give it away just as soon as your forehead gets hot.
Wen Desi thought for a while and asked: "By the way, Xiaolu.
How much did Japan give us last time we had an earthquake in Haiyuan?"

Gu Xiaolu took out his handheld computer, clicked it, and handed it to him directly: "It's all here, you can see for yourself."
"Oh, it's not bad."
Wen Desi looked at the numbers above and nodded.
This is a list of donations made by the Japanese government and private citizens to China during the Haiyuan earthquake.
At that time, Sino-Japanese relations were at their best, and Japan was unhappy with Moshan and Britain and France.
In order to gain support from China and improve relations, they were extremely generous after the Haiyuan earthquake and donated Quite a few things.
The Japanese government contributed 3 million yen, and donations from financial groups and private individuals amounted to more than 3 million yen.
In addition, there were 5 million yen worth of grain, food, clothing, medicine, tents, supplies, etc.
In addition, they also dispatched A medical team rushed to the disaster area to help.
Finally, he thought for a while and said: "I don't like to owe favors, but I don't want to be taken advantage of either.
In principle, let's double the amount.
If it's a little more, it's okay, just don't go too far."
On the afternoon of the same day, the Chinese government announced humanitarian assistance to the disaster-stricken areas in Japan, providing Japan with 6 million yuan, 50,000 tons of rice and flour each, as well as medicines, medical equipment, tents, clothing and other materials, which were shipped to Tokyo on the same day.
The China Red Gourd Federation also announced that it will dispatch 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 donations for disaster relief.
Of course, this kind of prestige-building thing cannot but be publicized, and all Chinese media have also mobilized with all their strength.
Even before the relief materials have been sent to Japan, people all over the world have already known about China's righteous deeds.
Some foreign media that seem to have nothing to do with China are also vigorously promoting their reputation: "The noble character of the Chinese people always exudes the brilliance of humanity", "Facts have proved that the Chinese government is a government full of humanitarian sentiments, and the Chinese leader He is a leader with noble morals.
The Chinese people are a group of civilized and kind-hearted people.
This is a bright country."
In stark contrast to China, the Japanese government is slow to act.
Of course, it’s not that they don’t want to do a good job, but that they don’t have the ability.
At this time, the Japanese government simply did not have the ability to handle such a large natural disaster, and lacked experience.
Therefore, it appeared to be slow to respond, and the disaster relief organization was also clueless.
For example, they had a fire brigade.
Due to disorganization, they were dispatched to a place surrounded by fire.
However, the local water source was destroyed, and their superiors did not allow them to evacuate in time.
As a result, the fire brigade not only failed to save people, but instead I also paid for it.
There are many similar incidents.
So there are a lot of avoidable losses, missed opportunities to save, or increased losses because of their own confusion.
Another very unlucky thing about Japan is that this time it was not just an earthquake.
The earthquake also triggered a huge tsunami.
The huge waves rushed like a devil to the ports, piers and beaches along the Aomo Bay.
These places Originally, the victims thought it was a safe place to live.
There were many victims taking refuge here at the time.
When they saw huge waves more than ten meters high coming from across the sky, they hurriedly rushed inland, trampling and even killing people.
Public.
In fact, it is difficult to escape from the tsunami, because the huge waves hit the coast at a speed of 750 kilometers per hour, so people on the shore are instantly swallowed up by the big waves, or are swept to the depths of the ocean, or are swept away by the big waves.
Throwing them into the air, some were thrown to the land by huge waves.
The various ships anchored in various ports and piers were either broken or sunk by the fierce waves, or they were knocked into and sunk by each other under the impact of the tsunami.
After the tsunami receded, it swept away all the broken ships.
A larger fishing boat was moored in Yokohama Port.
Huge waves smashed it into pieces, and no one on board survived.
The ports and terminal facilities in Tokyo and Yokohama, as well as the houses destroyed in the earthquake, were also looted by the huge waves in the tsunami.
After the violent sea calmed down, beaches in Tokyo and other places turned into large garbage dumps, filled with roofs, bed boards, doors and windows of wooden houses, ship fragments and human corpses.

There are similar things floating on the sea.
But these remnants are only a small part of what is left after the violent anger of the sea.
There is no time to recede with the tide.
Most of them are swallowed by the sea and have long since disappeared.
The tsunami caused by this earthquake sank more than 8,000 ships of various types, and all ports and docks in Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, Chiba and other places were paralyzed.
These places experienced a real catastrophe.
These losses are not the most troublesome.
What is even more troublesome is that most of the dock facilities were destroyed and the port channel was blocked by sunken ships, which prevented ships from other places coming to provide relief from the dock.
You can only unload cargo and people at other ports that have not been hit by the tsunami.
However, due to the violent earthquake, the railways in the Kanto region have been basically blocked, 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 other places.
Faced with this kind of super mess, Uchida Yasuya couldn't stand it anymore, and he resigned happily.
But no one is a fool.
They all understand that whoever takes over in this situation will be a fool.
The current cabinet prime minister has become a hot potato.
For the first time since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, there is no competition for the position of prime minister.
Some civilian and army politicians who originally fought hard for the prime minister's position are now pretending to be deaf and mute, either refusing due to lack of ability or hiding at home pretending to be sick.
Finally, in a big circle, this hat fell on the head of former Prime Minister and Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei.
Because of the disastrous defeat in the Sino-Japanese Guichou War, Yamamoto Gonbei's cabinet resigned in infamy.
The Siemens incident that was subsequently revealed made the navy even worse, completely losing the possibility of entering the prime minister's seat.
It was not until the outbreak of World War I that the navy's performance in Europe finally regained its image.
Now seeing that everyone has shrunk their eggs, the regent Crown Prince Hirohito had to make an exception and directly appoint the prime minister.
As for what Hirohito was thinking, it is difficult for outsiders to guess.
He was probably angry, or he felt that both the civil service and the army were unreliable, and the only one left was the navy.
In fact, Yamamoto Gonbei doesn't want to do this, and he's not stupid either.
But since the future "Tian Nao Hei Ka" has been directly named, he can't push it away, so General Yamamoto has no choice but to hold his nose and bite the bullet.
After discussing it for a while, the big guys of the Navy also felt that although this was a mess, it was also an opportunity to turn things around.
So, Brother Yamamoto, for the sake of the future of our Navy, just go ahead with peace of mind.
We will support you strongly.
Woolen cloth.
Of course, the navy bosses are also very smart.
They found representatives of the army and civilian officials and directly said: It is okay for our navy to take the lead, but we cannot just shoulder the blame for this, we must shoulder the blame together, otherwise I will also Quit.
If you say you can do it, go ahead Therefore, the Yamamoto cabinet established the Imperial Capital Restoration Council with the Prime Minister as president, and the Imperial Capital Restoration Institute with Prime Minister Fujiuchi as president.
The Army and representatives of all political parties joined both organizations.
Even Seiyoukai President Korekiyo Takahashi and Constitution Council President Kato Takaaki, two guys who refused the position of prime minister and refused to join the cabinet, were also brought in.
For a time, Japan showed a peaceful scene where the whole country was united.
Yamamoto Gonbei is a soldier and a veteran in politics.
He is not polite when faced with this situation.
Martial law was promulgated as soon as he came to power, and the army was dispatched to participate in disaster relief and maintain order.
The new cabinet gave the military great power.
Once discovered, criminals in disaster areas 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 could only do this one step, and the subsequent disaster relief work was difficult.
For example, Prime Minister Gotouchi proposed a 3 billion yen budget for reconstruction costs, but due to various wranglings, the parliament only approved a budget of less than 600 million yen.
Well, this is hard money to give away.

But no matter what, at least order was restored, and by mid-September, the final losses were tallied.
The number of people affected by the Great Kanto Earthquake exceeded 4 million, and the number of dead and missing reached 160,000.
This number is a bit higher than in the original time and space.
This is because Japan's industry and shipping are more developed than in the original time and space.
There are more workers, and naturally more people die.
In addition, more than 100,000 people were seriously injured and 2.5 million people were left homeless.
Faced with this mess, the Japanese government's rescue efforts are barely enough, and less than one-tenth of the millions of victims can ensure food and clothing.
After people recovered from the disaster, they began to be dissatisfied with the government.
There is no other way.
There are still very few people in this world who can thank the government even when they are hungry and cold.
What's more, this hunger and cold situation is caused by the government's slowness and stupidity.
If China had listened to the warning at that time, what would have happened?
The media in this dimension are more developed.
Thanks to radio and television, the Japanese people's understanding of the outside world far exceeds that of the same period in the original time and space.
They quickly noticed the great earthquake in Haiyuan, China, introduced in the media.
The magnitude of that earthquake was much higher than this one, but the Chinese government handled it so well.
Not only did not many people die, but the post-disaster rescue was also in place.
Happiness comes from comparison, and so does misfortune.
After learning about the efficiency of the Chinese government, I looked at the stupid and incompetent Japanese government and found it disgusting no matter how I looked at it.
In addition, there are some high-level scandals that have been exposed intentionally or unintentionally by overseas media, such as warnings about deliberately blocking China, which have been revealed by conscientious media to be deliberately blocked by plutocrats in order to make money and ignore the lives of working people.
It is also thought that the royal family did not think of a solution immediately after the earthquake, but took the lead in escaping to a safe area, and passed all the responsibilities to the cabinet.
The Japanese are increasingly disappointed with the current government and the royal family.
When the vast majority of people encounter something that is related to their immediate interests, they will go away regardless of their beliefs.
After all, human beings live in the real world, and the spirit is based on material.
When people are hungry and cold, who will take the royal family seriously?
