Chapter 61: Encounter in the Disaster Area

When the sunshine of a new day shines on the land of Kobe, this land that was prosperous and prosperous yesterday has now become a hell-like place, with thick smoke rising into the sky everywhere, and sadness everywhere

The crowd and the ground are still trembling from time to time...

After the panic in the middle of the night, some people have spontaneously organized themselves and begun to save themselves. They are cleaning up the collapsed houses near their homes, looking for food, water and daily necessities, looking for victims and survivors. One after another, the bodies are bloody and bloody.

The bodies were dug out of the rubble and carried to an open area. Every time a survivor was found, there was a burst of cheers.

"Come on, everyone, there are people here!" As a young man shouted, a group of men holding various simple tools gathered near the ruins on the road. This was originally a wide road, but now

It had been covered by the remains of collapsed buildings on both sides of the road, but from the angle he was at, he could clearly see that inside the ruins, under the piled bricks and stones, there were several completely deformed cars. Among them

On the window of a car, a foot wearing leather shoes can be seen dangling.

Seeing this scene, people were overjoyed. They carried it on their shoulders and used sticks to pry it off. Part of the masonry that was pressed on the car was removed. Most of the door was exposed. They wanted to remove the cement board on the roof of the car.

, it is obviously unrealistic for those of them who do not have large construction machinery. Now they can only hope that they can drag the survivors out of the car in this way.

The car door had been completely deformed, and several people couldn't open it despite all their efforts. Some people tried to pry it open with an iron bar, or find a gas cutter to cut it open. But they were all blocked.

The mature people in the crowd refused. There was still a huge cement board on the roof of the car. The car had been completely deformed. The condition of the survivors in the car was not yet determined. If the door was destroyed, the distance between the door and the roof was reduced.

If they cannot support the weight of the cement board, they will send their compatriots to hell with their own hands! Therefore, they just smashed the glass of the car window.

The survivor in the car was none other than Jiro Sakajiro. He had no way to escape at that time, so he could only get into the back seat of the car. Then the entire floor was photographed. Poor Jiro Sakajiro was completely injured in the violent collision.

He fainted. When he woke up, he discovered that although his life had been saved, the car he was hiding in had been severely deformed! In order to save fuel and steel, Japanese cars changed the shape of the passengers.

In terms of protection, it is difficult to compare with European and American cars, as everyone knows.

The car in which Jiro Sakajiro was hiding had been dented by the heavy cement slabs on the roof. Originally, he could sit in it with his chest raised, but now Jiro Sakajiro could only lie down on the back seat.

When you raise your body, your head will have the most intimate contact with the roof of the car. What's even more troublesome is that the deformation of the car does not only come from the roof. The huge impact force also causes it to collide with other vehicles on the road.

The collision severely damaged the front and rear of the car, which also caused the body to deform. One of his hands was stuck in it at elbow level and could not be pulled out.

However, he was still glad that he had survived after all, and so far, although the stuck arm had no feeling, the other parts of his body were still intact. Compared with those compatriots who were photographed directly under the ruins

, he is already very lucky!

Moreover, when he was awake, the sky was still dark, and he could still hear the faint cry for help coming from the ruins. When he listened, he felt like a senior in his company, but it was a pity that it was not dark yet.

bright, it becomes silent.

Although he kept calling for help during this period, no one noticed him, probably because it was not light yet and also because the surroundings were too noisy.

But he is a lucky guy after all, people finally noticed his existence!

People smashed the glass on the rear door. Jiro Sakajiro informed these people of his situation. People lamented their disappointment one after another. It was not possible to rescue Jiro Sakajiro from the deformed car intact.

It is impossible to use tools. And those things may have to wait until the rescue team arrives.

Fortunately, there were no obvious wounds on Hanjiro Jiro's body. He was trapped in the car. In addition to the deformation of the vehicle, there was no smell of gasoline. Apparently there was no leakage. People put gas in the car.

After getting a bottle of water and some food, they left one after another. Jiro Sakajiro could only pray to the gods to prevent another big aftershock.

In fact, the Japanese should be grateful to Fan Mingyuan. It was precisely because of Fan Mingyuan's so-called "prophecy" before the earthquake that the whole Japanese society discussed the possibility of earthquakes. In this discussion, which was almost one-sided, although Fan Mingyuan was scolded

It was a bloody incident. Although no senior government officials expressed their opinions, it had a considerable impact on Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama.

Although Tomiichi Murayama also believed that this prophecy was a bit absurd, he didn't know why, but he felt that even if it was just talking nonsense, it would not hurt if he had been more prepared these days. Even if it turned out to be a false alarm in the end, he treated it as a shock.

The previous drill has been completed! So Tomiichi Murayama secretly asked his secretary that in the near future, a dedicated person must be on duty 24 hours a day to pay close attention to the whole country of Japan. If an earthquake with a higher magnitude occurs, he must be immediately

Inform yourself!

Moreover, he notified the leaders of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in advance, asking them to be prepared to dispatch when necessary, just as a disaster relief exercise. This is the main reason why the Self-Defense Forces were able to immediately set off to the disaster area after receiving the order.

In Fan Mingyuan's previous life, according to Japanese regulations, disaster information collected by the Police Department and the Fire Department had to go through the Department of Land and Resources before being sent to the Prime Minister's Official Residence. Although such an information transmission mechanism is standardized and procedural, it can be used in emergencies.

It became mechanical and rigid, and the result was that when the earthquake occurred at 6 a.m., Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama was still lying in bed, and no one reported to him that this major earthquake had occurred. It was not until he got up 40 minutes later, turned on the TV, and saw

At that time, major TV stations were broadcasting live broadcasts, and they saw the Kobe disaster area with thick smoke billowing and flames shooting into the sky. Prime Minister Murayama couldn't believe it was real, and quickly called the Prime Minister's Secretary to verify the situation. As a result, the Prime Minister's Secretary also

have no idea.

Such a speed of reporting, of course, goes without saying that the Prime Minister can play his role in a timely manner. Compared with the fact that the President of the United States received information from the Federal Crisis Management Agency only 9 minutes after the Los Angeles earthquake, the Japanese domestic media later described it as "stupid"

The word expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the Japanese government's rapid response mechanism for crisis management. Murayama Tomiichi's cabinet also received strong criticism, and its support rate dropped sharply.

Moreover, according to Japanese law, for the Self-Defense Forces to participate in local disaster relief work, the governor of the location must request the Self-Defense Forces to dispatch in advance in writing. Other methods such as phone calls, faxes, etc. are invalid. The equipment and well-trained members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces are originally

The advantages of disaster relief and rescue operations could be brought into play in this disaster. However, many officials in the Japanese government after the war were averse to the deployment of troops and were hesitant to ask the Self-Defense Forces for help. Therefore, it was not until the second day after the Great Hanshin Earthquake that

At noon that day, about thirty hours after the earthquake occurred, the main force of the Self-Defense Forces could enter the disaster area. This undoubtedly delayed the best opportunity for rescue and disaster relief.

In this life, Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama could be said to have received the news as soon as possible, and at the same time dispatched the Self-Defense Forces immediately, seizing the best opportunity for rescue and disaster relief.

But the Japanese should also hate Fang Mingyuan. If it were not for him as a butterfly to flap its wings vigorously, maybe the magnitude of the Kobe earthquake would be the same as in the previous life, 7.3, instead of the current 7.9

Level, the Japanese in Kobe will not relax their vigilance against earthquakes because of experts' repeated refutations of rumors, so they will not die nearly twice as many people as in Fang Mingyuan's previous life. The number of injured people is even higher.

This is probably in response to the old saying of the ancient Chinese - a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise!

But of course the Japanese people at this time didn’t know this.

Hanjiro Jiro, who was trapped in the car, was full of dissatisfaction with the government and society at this time. Didn't you say that a large-scale earthquake was impossible in the Kansai region? Didn't you say that Fang Jun was just talking nonsense and alarmism? Didn't you say that

Is there currently no sign of a major earthquake in Japan? Didn’t you scold Fang Jun bloody?

Facts speak louder than words now! Fang Jun’s warning is correct!

If everyone could face Fang Jun's warning and subsequent statement, and pay more attention to underground activities, maybe they would not be in this situation now! Although he was detained in the car, the Japanese people over the years have

Earthquake knowledge propaganda still allowed him to easily judge that this must be an earthquake with a magnitude of six or above!

Just when he was gnashing his teeth and getting angry, a soft voice suddenly came from outside the car: "You are not hurt inside, are you?"

Jiro Sakajiro worked hard to raise his chin, and then he saw that in front of his head, outside the car, there were several people standing at some point. The leader was a beautiful woman, holding a microphone and asking himself:

"We are reporters from TV Tokyo. Sir, can we interview you?"

Jiro Jiro couldn't help but widen his eyes, this, this, this... isn't this Miss Ai Yamashita?
