On April 15th, it rained heavily in Sendai, Japan!

Sendai City is the largest economic and cultural center in the northeastern region of Honshu Island, Japan, and the capital of Miyagi Prefecture. With a population of one million, it is the city closest to the epicenter of the "April 13 East Japan Earthquake." The turbulent seawater rushed

It crossed the embankment, poured into the interior, and swept through its coastal areas. Sendai Airport and Sendai New Port were engulfed by sea water. The earthquake and tsunami destroyed the city's transportation, power, communication, water supply and other systems, paralyzing them all. Many people

Buildings were damaged and even collapsed and washed away by the sea.

The sea water has gradually returned to the sea, but there are still large areas submerged in the water. Although the heavy rain caused a lot of inconvenience to the rescue work, it also extinguished many fire spots in the city, although it can still be seen in the sky

There is black smoke, but it is much better than the thick smoke on April 14th. Cracks and collapses can be seen everywhere on the road, and some can even trap vehicles in them. Of course, the most common ones are all kinds of

Debris washed away by the sea included damaged houses, large and small vehicles, and even ships and the remains of victims. Due to the severe damage to the roads entering the disaster area and the fact that the sea washed a large amount of debris into the inland, it is still possible to

The channels for delivering relief supplies to the disaster area are quite limited, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the victims in Sendai City. The Japanese government has to use helicopters to airlift supplies to ensure the basic living needs of the citizens.

At noon, when the rain subsided, Hatoyama Yukio personally took a helicopter to Sendai to inspect the disaster relief work. He was accompanied by Defense Minister Tanaka Toshihide and many others. The helicopter hovered over the city, and it could be clearly seen from the plane.

The coastal area of ​​Sendai City has completely turned into ruins, and there are no intact houses at all.

"Look over there, that's Sendai Airport." Miyagi Prefecture Governor Wakaojiro pointed into the distance. "Unfortunately, after the tsunami, the seawater flooded the entire airport, and the terminal building also tilted seriously.

Nine passenger planes were damaged."

Yukio Hatoyama looked in the direction he pointed and sighed inwardly. If the Sendai Airport was not seriously damaged, cargo planes could be used to transport supplies, which would be much more convenient than long-distance transportation by helicopter.

.However, it cannot be completed in three to five days to repair Sendai Airport to the point where flights can take off and land normally. The tsunami not only severely damaged Sendai Airport, but also destroyed the Sendai Port here. The port area is now a wasteland.

Even people who are familiar with the place cannot recognize its original appearance at this time. If Sendai Port can still operate, it will be more convenient for disaster relief materials to be transported into Sendai by sea than by air. Today, the Japanese government, disaster relief agencies

The required supplies are still quite sufficient, but if these supplies cannot be transported to the disaster area, what role will they play?

Tanaka Toshihide also had a gloomy expression. Many military facilities in the disaster area were also severely damaged. The most distressing one for him was the Matsushima military base where the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's Third Air Island is stationed. Not only was it completely submerged, but also the Gundam Gundam

Fifteen F-2 fighter jets were damaged and soaked, causing extremely shocking losses. Although people are now focusing on rescue and disaster relief, Tanaka Toshihide thought that this would inevitably become an opportunity for political opponents to attack him in the future.

Excuse.

However, he does not have the energy to deal with this now. In order to provide disaster relief, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have taken action on land, sea and air. The US military has also provided convenience to Japan and even sent an aircraft carrier to anchor at sea not far from Sendai City.

, to assist Japan in disaster relief. All aspects require command and coordination, and he, the Minister of Defense, is too busy to hit the back of his head.

"Governor Ruoke, the headquarters is now going all out to send people to clear the roads into the disaster area. We are not short of relief supplies, but the transportation capacity is limited. I hope the county will do its best to maintain social order and assist the headquarters in opening up the roads as soon as possible.

"Hatoyama Yukio said. After the disaster, the Japanese government immediately informed the world of the news. Many countries, including China and South Korea, have sent professional rescue teams, and several rescue teams have arrived in Japan and

Entered the disaster area to start work. The Japanese government has received more than 500 million US dollars in materials and donations from overseas in the past two days. The Japanese government itself has also raised huge amounts of funds and materials and can be invested in the disaster area at any time, so Hatoyama Yukio

The confidence is still quite sufficient.

"Hi! Prime Minister, please rest assured that we will do our best to complete this task!" Wakaojiro responded.

"By the way, there are a large number of Chinese in Miyagi County. The county should pay more attention to their post-disaster life and pay more attention to their personal safety. Fang Jun has donated excessive supplies and donations this time. Don't let Fang suffer in the future.

You are complaining that we don't take care of his countrymen." Yukio Hatoyama said calmly, but there was a bit of unquestionable flavor in his tone.

"Hi!" Wakaojiro was startled for a moment, and then responded, "I will definitely bear in mind the advice of the Prime Minister." He has also heard some rumors, although he still doesn't know whether it is true or not, but if it is true,

If so, then someone may be in bad luck next time. Of course, the unlucky ones are definitely not Hatoyama Yukio and Fang Jun...

Hatoyama Yukio's eyes returned to the window again, looking down at the barren land, and the cabin temporarily became quiet.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, on behalf of the more than 2.4 million people of Miyagi Prefecture, I solemnly express my gratitude to you. If you had not withstood the pressure and did not allow the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to start generating power, maybe we would not only

We have to face the pain caused by earthquakes and tsunamis, and we also have to face the threat of nuclear radiation. I deeply apologize to you, Prime Minister, for our inappropriate remarks before!" Jiro Wakao said with a look of shame. As a Fukushima

As a neighbor in the county, he had heard some rumors beforehand, and he paid attention to the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant immediately after the earthquake.

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant were not only struck by a strong earthquake, but were also swept by waves with a height of more than ten meters. Although there were no irreparable problems with the main facilities of the nuclear power plant, experts also analyzed that if

At that time, the two nuclear power plants were still operating. According to their design indicators, they were able to withstand earthquakes of 8.2 level. Strong earthquakes and tsunamis would cause the nuclear reactors to shut down automatically, but cooling systems were needed to cool the reactors. However, the earthquake destroyed the nuclear reactors.

External power supply, and the nuclear reactor has shut down and cannot generate any power, then the backup power system must be activated, that is, the diesel generator provides power for the cooling system. Then the tsunami arrived, flooding all the diesel generators,

rendering them completely unable to work.

The earthquake occurred at 10:34 p.m., and soon afterward a tsunami rushed into the nuclear power plant, causing heavy casualties to the workers in the nuclear power plant. Because it was late at night, it was difficult to carry out rescue work, and even after dawn, rescue workers rushed to the plant.

Even if we go to the nuclear power plant and invest in emergency repairs, it may not be possible to complete the work in time. Then there is a high possibility that the two nuclear power plants will explode! And once an explosion occurs, not only Fukushima Prefecture, but also many surrounding counties will be affected.

!

Although experts have not said that two nuclear power plants will definitely explode, even if there is a one percent or one thousandth chance of a nuclear accident, it is intolerable, let alone "there is a huge possibility"

It’s an adjective like “probably”.

Due to Yukio Hatoyama's insistence, both nuclear power plants were shut down for more than a month. Moreover, based on the original diesel generator sets in the plant, the two nuclear power plants built multiple dedicated interfaces to ensure that even ordinary diesel

Generators can also be connected in an emergency. This series of measures ensured that although many problems occurred in the two nuclear power plants during strong earthquakes and tsunamis, they were not fatal or irreparable.

"Oh, did Governor Wakao apologize for this matter not long ago?" Yukio Hatoyama said, stunned.

"Such a major mistake makes us really feel guilty." Jiro Wakao said with an apologetic face. The closure of six nuclear power plants, including the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, can also have a negative impact on the power supply of Miyagi Prefecture.

It was obviously affected. The three major power companies subsequently applied repeatedly to restart the nuclear power plant. As the governor of Miyagi Prefecture, although Wakaojiro did not criticize Yukio Hatoyama publicly, he naturally had nothing good to say in private. Regarding the dissatisfaction of the county,

There was no explanation or guidance. Although the post of governor of Miyagi Prefecture was not appointed by Yukio Hatoyama, but was elected internally in Miyagi Prefecture, Yukio Hatoyama could not directly remove him from office.

But Wakaojiro would not be so merciless at this time.

Yukio Hatoyama waved his hand and said: "Now everything is focused on disaster relief. Let's not mention this matter for now. If there were any misunderstandings before the governor, I can understand it." Yukio Hatoyama is certainly not that kind of person.

A good old man who repays evil with kindness, but he can only expand the scope of attack without limit. And he is not as good as he used it. After this incident, if there are any more controversial policies during Yukio Hatoyama's administration, I believe that Governor Wakao will

You will definitely think twice before you act, and that will be enough.

A big stone in Governor Ruosheng's heart fell to the ground, and he felt that the pressure on his shoulders suddenly relaxed a lot.

"The number of people killed and missing in this disaster in Miyagi Prefecture exceeded 20,000, and the number of injured and homeless was even more numerous. Governor Miyagi has a huge responsibility." Yukio Hatoyama thought for a moment.

He said, "Although the government is preparing funds to help you rebuild your homes, you should not think that the government can take care of everything."

"Hi! Wakao understands!" Wakao Jiro replied without hesitation. As the governor of a county, which is equivalent to the governor of China, he naturally knows that although Japan is the world's second...third economic power, Japan

The government's debt is also one of the largest in the world. According to publicly available data, at the end of last year, the Japanese government's debt balance was 92 trillion yen, accounting for nearly 200% of Japan's gross national product.

!As for the United States, which is also a developed country, the ratio of debt to gross national product is only 90%, the United Kingdom is 81%, Germany is 80%, and France is 93%! From

This data shows that the Japanese government’s debt is already extremely large.

This is because since the bursting of the Japanese bubble economy, in order to stimulate economic growth and to cope with repeated economic crises, the Japanese government has reduced taxes on a large scale, resulting in a significant reduction in tax revenue. Last year, the Japanese government’s tax revenue was only equivalent to 19

Sixty-four percent in 1990! Tax revenue has fallen sharply. However, as Japan has entered an aging society, various government fiscal expenditures have continued to increase. Therefore, successive governments have had to issue large-scale national bonds to make up for the fiscal deficit.

insufficient.

The occurrence of the "April 13 East Japan Earthquake" has caused heavy economic losses to Japan and will have a serious negative impact on this year's gross national product. For post-disaster reconstruction, the government may need to invest as much as 10 trillion yen.

, or even more. With the government's current financial level, it is not easy to raise such a huge sum of money. It is not something Yukio Hatoyama can resolve with just one word. And this time the disaster is not the only one affected.

In Miyagi Prefecture, even if Yukio Hatoyama can raise funds and divide more funds, it is hard to say how much funds will eventually fall into Miyagi Prefecture.

Hatoyama Yukio looked at Tanaka Toshihide and sighed for a long time. He wanted to reduce part of his military expenditure. However, if Japan's military expenditure is calculated in US dollars, it was surpassed by China in 2007, and it is even more so now.

It fell to sixth place. Although the gap between the three countries above Britain, France and Russia and Japan is only a few billion dollars, the Japanese Self-Defense Force, which once ranked second in the world in military expenditure, fell to sixth place, which is far lower than that of China. It has already made the people middle-class.

There are many people who are dissatisfied. Moreover, a considerable proportion of Japan's military expenditures is to be paid to the US military in Japan as "protection fees". Only about half of it belongs to the Japan Self-Defense Forces, and it is difficult for him to reduce it any further.

Otherwise, it will inevitably cause a strong rebound from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and domestic military industrial enterprises.

"Let us remember the tragic lesson of this time. Human life is too short and it is too easy to forget." Yukio Hatoyama said solemnly, "We have experienced many tsunamis. For example, Miyagi Prefecture suffered from 19

In the 1960s, we were hit by the tsunami caused by the great earthquake in Chile. After that, we built a ten-meter-high breakwater, thinking that we would be able to sit back and relax from now on. But nature taught us once again!

"Just before coming to Miyagi Prefecture today, he saw a report about the disaster prevention command center in Minamisanriku Town, Miyagi Prefecture. The three-story office building was dilapidated and stood alone.

Among the ruins. According to survivors, the huge tsunami swept away hundreds of local residents and government personnel who had taken refuge on top of the more than 10-meter-high government building.
