Chapter 1562 A Major Decision Concerning the Future of Country R
In the meeting room of the research vessel, people are having a meeting. This is the 26th meeting of the expert group. Their daily work is monitoring, data, and meeting and discussion.
Now they are mainly focusing on the subsidence theory and the uplift theory to carry out detailed data analysis and build a more detailed model.
At this moment, Jiang Hao did not speak. He was recording various data with a laptop. At this moment, the system prompt sounded in his mind.
Open the system panel, and a blue light screen appeared in front of him.
"Ding~~ Congratulations to the collector. The early warning of the eruption of Mount Fuji saved a large number of lives and obtained 18008.7 points of merit. Please keep up the good work."
Jiang Hao was delighted.
Looking at the progress bar again, it has become 4.5W/100W.
He felt like eating a bowl of red oil jelly in summer, so comfortable!
At this moment, Professor Shanquan's mobile phone suddenly rang. He looked at it and saw that it was the call from the director of the Meteorological Bureau. He picked it up and answered it. After listening to two sentences, his expression was a little dazed. When he put down the phone, he turned to look at Jiang Hao and said.
"Jiang Sang, Mount Fuji has erupted!"
Everyone in the conference room looked at Jiang Hao, many of them were surprised and incredulous. They naturally knew Jiang Hao's prediction, but in fact, most people didn't believe it in their hearts. As scientists, they respected science, so how could they believe in any prophecy?
But now the facts are in front of us. Jiang Hao successfully predicted the eruption of Mount Fuji a month in advance.
Professor Shanquan continued: "The Earthquake and Volcano Department said that the eruption of Mount Fuji reached level 7, which is a terrifying level. The pyroclastic flow will cover half of Japan and will trigger a series of other disasters."
Jiang Hao had already received the system reward, so he naturally knew the result. He was not shocked, but he still looked heavy.
"I hope that there will not be major casualties among the people, and I also hope that the Japanese government will do a good job in post-disaster relief."
Professor Shanquan said: "The government adopted your advice and evacuated residents around Mount Fuji one step ahead of time, so there were no casualties during the eruption, but this eruption is very huge. After a day or two of volcanic ash falling, Tokyo may be paralyzed, and roads will be impassable, causing difficulties for citizens to travel, shop, and work."
"It will be so, but I believe the Japanese government will handle it well. After all, preparations started a month in advance, don't you think so, Chief Ono?" Jiang Hao said to the official from the Ministry of Transportation who was sent.
The official named Ono had a flash of embarrassment on his face. He knew in his heart that although the government listened to Jiang Hao's advice and evacuated residents around Mount Fuji, it did not take it seriously and the preparations were not sufficient at all.
"Can we see the eruption here?" someone said.
Everyone immediately rushed out of the meeting room and came to the highest deck. From a distance, they could indeed see a small mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
People looked at the mushroom cloud with a heavy heart.
At this moment, a surveyor came over and said nervously to the experts: "Professors, the monitor just showed a very strong data fluctuation, indicating that underground activity and pressure are intensifying. The section chief asked the professors to take a look."
Everyone was shocked. It seems that the eruption of Mount Fuji has also had a certain impact on the movement of the earth's crust. They immediately rushed to the monitoring room.
After reading the new data, many people felt that something was wrong. Professor Shanquan said: "Because of the volcanic eruption, the plate has become more fragile, the underground pressure has surged, and the plate movement has intensified. I am afraid that the previous prediction time will be greatly shortened."
"If it is slower, Japan still has 20 years. If it continues to deteriorate, I am afraid that Japan will only have more than 2 years left." Professor Shanquan said sadly.
The experts on the research ship are carefully observing the data, but the Japanese island is suffering from the worst disaster in decades.
Countless volcanic ash fills the stratosphere above Japan. This area is where airplanes fly, causing all Japanese passenger planes to be grounded.
Volcanic ash fell one after another, not just dust, but also a lot of small pieces of ash, the size of soybeans or even marbles. Don't underestimate these ash particles. They were originally volcanic magma, and the temperature inside was very high. If they fell on wooden houses, they might cause fires.
What's more serious is that they fell on some public facilities, such as the power system, which instantly caused a large-scale power outage in Tokyo.
A large amount of volcanic ash fell into the water storage river, causing Tokyo's water supply to be almost paralyzed.
The concentration of volcanic ash is very high, just like fog. Cars driving on the road will soon be covered with a layer of dust. If people breathe this kind of air, they will soon develop lung diseases, and production and life in the Tokyo area will almost come to a standstill.
People stayed at home, without water and electricity, food shortages, and diseases could not be treated. After the fire broke out, emergency personnel had difficulties in rushing to the scene.
Some people even found a long-forgotten radio to get information. At this moment, the radio station was in a mess, and there were voices everywhere questioning the government. Since there was an early warning, why were they not prepared? What are the government and the prime minister doing? Now that people's lives cannot be guaranteed, what should we do?
A few days later, the Japanese government made a decision to temporarily move the government to Kyoto for work, and the Emperor would live in the Kyoto Palace for a while.
The people were very angry. You can run away, but what about us? Who will take care of our lives?
After the research ship finished its investigation, it did not return to Tokyo, but went directly to Kyoto. At the temporary office, Jiang Hao and others met the Prime Minister.
The Japanese Prime Minister shook hands with Jiang Hao and said, "Thank you to the United Nations Disaster Reduction Agency for its support to Japan, and thank you to Mr. Jiang for his early warning to Japan, which allows us to prepare in advance and reduce a lot of losses."
Jiang Hao knew that these were all polite words and should not be taken seriously.
Subsequently, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Transportation, the Minister of Environment, and the Minister of Defense listened to the report of the expert group. This report was mainly given by Professor Yamazumi and Professor Honda. Each of them explained the analysis of their own team, one sinking theory and the other rising theory.
But no matter what, it is not good news for Japan, and the eruption of Mount Fuji has intensified the pace of disaster.
Finally, the Prime Minister looked at Jiang Hao and asked: "Mr. Jiang, you have predicted three disasters before. This time you are investigating the situation of the trench together. Do you have any speculations?"
"My guess is that Japan will sink slowly into the sea. I have told Professor Shanquan before that Japan may lose one-third of its land and most of its cities in 20 years at the slowest and one and a half years at the fastest. "
After the symposium, the experts and professors went back to the hotel to rest. The Prime Minister and several ministers returned to the office and sat in the ancient hall to discuss. However, they did not pay attention. Two small sparrows sneaked in, and the cameras beside their wings looked at them. All ministers.
Independent photography does not generate signals, so it cannot be detected by signal equipment.
Because this is a temporary office space, the security measures are not as strict as those in Tokyo, and no one can even use sparrows to take candid photos.
The Prime Minister sits in the main seat, next to him is the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance, and around him are the Chief Cabinet Secretary, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Minister of the Environment, and the Chairman of the National Public Safety Commission and the Minister in Charge of Disaster Prevention wait.
The Prime Minister said solemnly: "You all already know the situation analyzed by experts. The current situation seems to be very urgent. What do you think we should do? Where does Japan's future go?"
Everyone was silent for a while. It was difficult for everyone to accept that Japan was about to sink. The Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology looked at the Minister of Environment and asked: "Is it really inevitable? How can Japan really sink?"
The Minister of Environment said helplessly: "We have assembled the top expert team in the country, and this is the conclusion we have reached. There have been several recent earthquakes, Mount Fuji has also erupted, and the trench plate movement is intensifying. These all indicate that the disaster has arrived."
"Moreover, the expert from the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction Agency also predicted that Japan will sink within 2 years, and natural disasters will continue during this period."
It seems that the disaster is unavoidable. What we need to do now is how to ensure that Japan can continue. This is the most critical issue.
The Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Finance said: "We should transfer assets as soon as possible now, while foreign countries do not know the specific situation in Japan, transfer assets out, and even include exchanging currency for other countries' currencies to transfer our losses."
The Foreign Minister said, “Immigration is inevitable, and a suitable place of immigration needs to be chosen. The Prime Minister can go to the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia to lobby, hoping that they can accept as many people as possible from our country and transfer the elite there.
There is also Brazil. We have invested heavily in Brazil over the years and own countless lands. We can negotiate with the Brazilian government to transfer large numbers of people. "
"There are also some countries, such as Country Z, Malaysia, etc., that can allow them to take in some of our poor people."
At this time, the Minister of Defense suddenly said: "If the disaster is unavoidable and we have strong military capabilities, can't we seize a place that belongs to us?!"
"I cannot tolerate the Yamato nation being dependent on others forever and sinking into the sea together. We can definitely declare war, find a place to stay, and build a new Japan."
Everyone else looked at the Minister of Defense in surprise, but the Minister of Defense looked determined and continued: "Country Z is actually the best choice. Unfortunately, it is too strong now. We don't have that strength, but we can take action against some countries in Southeast Asia. , Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, the Philippines, etc., Australia, New Zealand are actually very good, but unfortunately the United States and the United Kingdom will not agree, but we can try places like Papua New Guinea.”
"After we occupy it and transfer all the citizens there, it will become a new Japan."
The Foreign Minister strongly objected, "I don't agree with this statement. The Defense Minister's statement is too crazy. War is not that easy. Will other countries watch Japan invade other countries? Besides, Japan does not have the strength to support a long-term war." logistics."
"I think it is better to use the soft aggression model and immigrate in large numbers to form gathering places and forces. Many people in other countries are very stupid. With the diligence and wisdom of our Yamato nation, we can become superior people, such as the current M country. Isn’t it ruled by the Jews? At the top, the people become their pigs. We can do the same. In the next few decades, I believe we will transform those places into our land.”
The Foreign Secretary's methods were more underhanded than those of the Defense Secretary.
Everyone looked at the Prime Minister, who squinted his eyes and was silent for a while, then said: "First of all, the news that Japan is about to sink must be kept strictly confidential. First, it is to avoid causing social panic, and second, it allows us to have operating time and reduce economic losses.
All members of the trench plate expert team are under control and cannot disclose any information to the outside world. The Defense Agency is responsible for this matter. "
"Since the disaster is unavoidable, transferring assets is the top priority. Japan's precious metals, assets, cultural relics, advanced technologies, etc. must all be transferred out."
Finally, he looked at the Minister of Defense, "The military can do relevant analysis and research. If necessary, extreme measures are not a bad idea."
As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, the Minister of Transport said, "There is also Jiang Hao from the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction Office in the expert group. I'm afraid he will be difficult to control?"
The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes, "We can't let him say anything about Japan, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous to us. Let the intelligence department find a way to get rid of him!"
The meeting ended and the ministers went back to work.
Flutter~!
The two cute little sparrows flew away and soon flew to a hotel. The hotel window was half open, and the two little sparrows flew directly in and landed in Jiang Hao's palm. Jiang Hao's fingers gently stroked the heads of the two sparrows.
