Chapter 64 Detonation

Looking at the tragic scene in Kobe, many Japanese people are sad, worried and anxious, but they are also secretly relieved. Japan has experienced an earthquake cycle for decades. Since the Great Kanto Earthquake that year, although there have been constant minor earthquakes,

But there has never been a truly devastating earthquake. In addition, there was a lot of fuss a while ago about whether there was a major earthquake in Japan in January. Although many people don't show it on the surface, they feel this in their hearts.

It's surprising. Since Kobe has been shaken, there should be no more large-scale earthquakes in Japan in a short period of time. This also reassures many people.

However, the disaster relief progress reported on TV and newspapers makes many people feel dissatisfied. Many people think that it is Kobe that is hit by the disaster now. If one day in the future, it is Tokyo, or Sendai, or they are themselves.

What will happen if the city where you live suffers the same disaster? This is not an unfounded worry. For the Japanese who have had a sense of crisis since childhood, it is natural to think this way.

"Fang Jun, you are right!" This simple sentence, like a match, immediately ignited the deep feelings of the Japanese who were worried about the lives and property of their compatriots because of the government's poor emergency and disaster relief organizations.

That gunpowder magazine!

People remembered that as early as twenty days ago, someone had warned the Japanese that there would be a major earthquake in January!

It was a young man from China. Although it was just a dream, although he only got a signature from Sensoji Temple that he thought was urging him to return to his hometown to avoid disaster, although he may also realize that saying this would attract countless people to him.

There was a conflict between heaven and man in my heart, so I hesitated to speak out at the end of the program. I hope the Japanese can be more careful and reduce the loss of life and property caused by natural disasters as much as possible!

But what did the Japanese give him in return? Countless accusations, widespread abuse, dismissive insults from earthquake experts and celebrities, threats and boycotts from many right-wing groups, and even threats to him through the Chinese government

Put pressure on him to make a public apology to the Japanese!

But even in such a difficult situation, he still insisted on his own views, and even took out the copyrights of his industries and works in Japan to prove his persistence in his views!

These days, thanks to the "blessing" of the Japanese media, someone has estimated the approximate value of Fang Mingyuan's shares in two companies and the copyrights of his works. If the exchange rate and inflation are not taken into account, the future

The total value may exceed US$500 million. Of course, if it can be operated smartly, the value may be even higher!

When I think about it, in order to remind Japanese people to be wary of the coming earthquake, Fang Jun has to bear unwarranted accusations and abuses from all sides in Japan, and has to pay such a high price. These Japanese people are simply ashamed. Especially those who, because

Experts, because of the overwhelming accusations from social celebrities and right-wing groups, Fang Jun was shaken in his confidence and believed that he was indeed a Japanese with ulterior motives! He was even more ashamed!

Those Japanese people who had protested in front of the Chinese Embassy in Japan were given strange looks by those who knew about it, making them feel sleepless and uneasy.

In fact, after the Kobe earthquake, the Japanese who had sparred with Fang Mingyuan knew that something was not good and actively sought reconciliation with Fang Mingyuan. However, in their view, the current attention of the Japanese should have been completely occupied by Kobe.

They are attracted by emergency and disaster relief work and will not be diverted to this matter for the time being. In this case, they can still have some time to operate.

But they never thought that the whole incident would explode because of Jiro Hanjiro's words before his death!

Although Yamashita Ai didn't mention Fang Mingyuan's prophecy at all during the interview, her speaking out Jiro Sakajiro's last words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire!

The performance of the Japanese stock market on January 24 was undoubtedly a heavy addition to the already simmering fire!

Since the "Plaza Accord" in 1985, the sharp appreciation of the yen has had an immeasurable impact on the Japanese economy. It has had a considerable impact on Japan's export-led industries. In order to achieve economic

In order to maintain sustained growth, the Japanese government has adopted a series of loose monetary policies such as lowering interest rates to maintain the prosperity of the domestic economy.

So starting from 1986, Japan's domestic benchmark interest rate dropped sharply, which caused Japan's remaining funds to be invested heavily in non-production tools such as the stock market and real estate. As a result, Japan's stock market and real estate industry grew rapidly, eventually forming a

In 1990, there was the famous Japanese bubble economy. After this economic bubble was proactively burst by the Japanese government in 1991, the Japanese economy fell into the largest post-war recession, which lasted for many years.

Five years later, the Japanese economy still shows no signs of recovery.

Kobe City is located in Japan's third largest industrial area, that is, the Hanshin Industrial Area with Japan's second largest city Osaka and the sixth largest city Kobe, and Hanshin Industrial Area is located in Japan's second largest economic circle - Kansai Economic Circle

In 1994, the output value of the Kansai Economic Circle accounted for nearly 20% of Japan's GDP! And it is also the transportation hub of the Kansai region of Japan.

After the great earthquake in Kobe, water and electricity were cut off in the area, and traffic was paralyzed. The houses of small and medium-sized enterprises in Kobe City collapsed, and the equipment of large enterprises was seriously damaged and forced to suspend production. It greatly affected the production activities of local enterprises. These are the key to the three consecutive years of recession.

The Japanese economy is undoubtedly worsening. In addition, hundreds of financial institutions in the Hanshin Industrial Zone have gone out of business, and life insurance companies will provide the highest insurance premiums since the war. The heads of Japanese insurance companies with business in Kobe have

A strong desire to jump from a building.

The damage caused by the earthquake to Japan's economy is not limited to the Hanshin Industrial Zone, but also affects neighboring industrial zones and Japan's foreign trade. For example, Toyota and Mazda, which rely on the region to produce auto parts, have been forced to reduce or even suspend production. Japan

The tracks of the Shinkansen high-speed railway in Kobe were severely damaged and it will take several months to repair and open to traffic. The same is true for the expressway passing through Kobe. The Port of Kobe is the largest port in Japan, second only to the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and ranks second in the world.

, ranking first in the world in container throughput, but the earthquake paralyzed almost all berths in the Port of Kobe, and the most optimistic estimates will take more than half a year to return to the original level.

These have had a serious impact on the Japanese economy!

And the first thing that showed all this was the Japanese stock market! On January 24, the Japanese stock market opened. As the stocks of many companies affected by the earthquake plunged, although some stocks related to construction, building materials, etc. rose, but

In the end, the Nikkei Index still fell sharply by 8%! And it can be seen that as the damage from the Kobe earthquake becomes increasingly clear, the Japanese stock market is still likely to continue to decline!

The Japanese people's grief for the heavy casualties of their compatriots caused by the Kobe earthquake, as well as the Japanese government's poor performance in disaster relief work, coupled with the sharp decline in personal wealth in the stock market, all turned into a blazing fire at this moment.

Anger, like the eruption of Mount Fuji, erupted uncontrollably!

Not only the Japanese citizens sitting at home are angry about it, but also among the Japanese people praying for the suffering compatriots in pubs or on the streets, churches, shrines, and temples, the flames of anger are also constantly gathering.

The place where this anger first broke out was Osaka City near Kobe!

Osaka is an important port city in Japan, the largest city in Kansai, Japan's second largest economic center, and a trade and cultural center. It is the transportation hub of the Kansai region with developed water, land and air transportation. It has the second largest city in Japan.

Kansai International Airport, Japan's first 24-hour international airport. There are nearly three million people living in Osaka, more than 99% of whom are Japanese. Osaka and Kobe can be said to be adjacent and jointly organized

An important economic circle in Japan - the Hanshin Economic Circle.

If the citizens of any Japanese city have a deeper understanding of the dangers of the Kobe earthquake, it is undoubtedly Osaka, which borders Kobe!

As long as the location of the earthquake source is slightly offset, then this big earthquake may not be a devastating blow to Kobe, but Kobe and Osaka will suffer at the same time, and even Osaka will bear all this! The citizens of Osaka only need to think about it as a key

Osaka, the largest city in the West, with a population of nearly three million, may face the same fate as Kobe. The silent fear is like the claws of the god of death, tightly grasping their throats!

Therefore, they are particularly angry at the Japanese government for ignoring Fang Mingyuan's warning, failing to predict the occurrence of this disaster in time, and for its poor response after the disaster!

Fear and anger can both turn into power, especially when both come together!

At 9 pm on January 24, a large number of young people gathered in several major squares in Osaka City to hold rallies, and quickly demanded that the government be held accountable for its incompetence in this disaster. They also raised the following,

Why did Fang Jun’s kind reminder not only fail to receive the attention of the government and all parties, but was treated unfairly?

A large number of fans of Fang Mingyuan's works, after this disaster, their admiration for Fang Mingyuan can be said to have reached its peak. At this point, Sensoji Temple, which also issued an "early warning", also enjoyed the same treatment, and a large number of Japanese people in Tokyo flocked to

Entering the temple to pray for the compatriots who died in the disaster is as large as the three days of the New Year. Sensoji Temple and the surrounding areas have become a sea of ​​people!

As more and more adults join in, more and more Japanese people gather in several major squares!

I don’t know who shouted the slogan “Demand for justice for Fang Jun”, and the crowd became excited!
