Chapter o15 Magnitude 9.3 Earthquake

However, Indians soon regretted it. Not only did Indians soon regret it, but also people from other countries that did not listen to the warnings of Hanyu Mimen G Group. In addition to these countries, including the United States, several countries that have institutions that will not cause major earthquakes in the near future are also extremely embarrassing.

On December 26, 2oo4, uTc time o 58:55, the earthquake warning by Hanyu Mimen G Group occurred as scheduled. The epicenter was located in the west of Sumatra Island, Indonesia, 30,000 meters deep underwater. This is the earthquake frequency area of ​​the 'Pacific earthquake belt'. The earthquake itself eliminates the tsunami spreading to Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand.

Scientists tested the South Asian earthquake on December 26, 2oo4, and the scale was actually the second largest earthquake in Richmond. On Thursday, the British magazine Nature published, scientists analyzed low-frequency data of seismometers and found that the scale of the earthquake was actually 9.3. A severe earthquake cut the ocean plate from Sumatra to the north out of the fissures of kilometers. Some small islands in southwest of Sumatra have moved 2 feet southwest. The top of the northern Sumatra, which is located in the south of the Myanmar Plain, is the Sumatra Plain, may have moved 3 feet southwest.

The tsunami caused by the earthquake swept across all countries along the Indian Ocean coast in a short time, including Indonesia, and more than ten countries declared a disaster.

The worst-hit Indonesia is located in the epicenter. After receiving a report from a US scientific research institution that is contrary to the Hanyu Mimen G Group, the Indonesian Congress, despite President Megawati's opposition, forcibly passed the decision not to relocate people in the coastal areas. After the earthquake and tsunami, data from the Indonesian National Disaster Reduction Coordination Bureau showed that the death toll reached 234,271, 124,000 were missing, 44,000 were treated, and another 70,000 became refugees. 17 villages on the southwest bank of Aceh Province have disappeared. According to the Indonesian ambassador to Malaysia, the death toll in Aceh Province may exceed 40,000.

In addition to Indonesia, India is the worst-hit one, because they also believe in the reports of several scientific research institutions in the United States and several other scientific research institutions in Europe. After the disaster, five people died in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, among which many people in Andahra Islands, 28o people in Pondicherry, 121 people in Kerala and 61 people in Andhra Pradesh. Hundreds of people were missing in Andhra Pradesh. Most of them were fishing workers. Many fishermen disappeared at home or at sea. It is reported that three people died in the Andaman-Nicobar Islands Central District, and an estimated 30,000 people and five villages disappeared after the tsunami.

However, the other countries that may have suffered major casualties, believed in the early warning issued by Hanyu Mimen G Group, migrated people in coastal areas a few days in advance, which allowed the casualties and property losses in these countries to be controlled to the greatest extent.

In Sri Lanka, more than 10,000 people have been confirmed to die, most of them children and the elderly; nearly 100,000 have become refugees. Airports and ports are closed. Seawater invasion has entered nearly 62 kilometers. Local media reported that due to seawater invasion, many mines left by the long-term civil war have been exposed. President Kumaratonga has declared a state of disaster across the country. Zheng has no control over the situation in the north controlled areas of Tamil Tiger rebels. 2 Military personnel carried out rescue operations and maintained order to prevent robbery in areas controlled by Zhengfu.

Thailand, which also believed in the warning of Hanyu Mimen G Group, suffered a significant decrease in casualties. The Ministry of Interior of Thailand said that 2,895 deaths have been caused, about three quarters of which are foreigners. 3,257 were injured and 845 were missing. Since December 28, Thailand has lowered the flag for three consecutive days to express condolences.

After the disaster, the Thai royal family also sent a special telegram to the Hanyu Mi Men G Group for thanking. Because of the early warning of the Hanyu Mi Men G Group, the lives of the Thai royal family members were saved. The 21-year-old grandson of the Thai Emperor Rama IX, Pu Mei Jansen, was originally on vacation at a resort by the seaside of Phang Nga Province. After receiving the early warning of the Hanyu Mi Men G Group, the emperor immediately left the resort and returned to the capital. Not long after he left, the huge waves caused by the tsunami swallowed the resort. If the emperor did not leave, he would have died.

However, there are also some countries who, even if they believe the warning of the Hanyu Mimen G Group, still suffer inevitable losses, such as the archipelago state of Maldives. Most of the territory of this island country consisting of coral reefs is less than one meter above sea level. Even if all people have been moved to a safe area, the country still suffered a very serious disaster due to its special national conditions. Two-thirds of the Maldives are submerged by sea water. Remote bottom atolls may be severely damaged. Some islands are completely submerged, and at least 42 islands in Maldives were conquered in this tsunami. A total of 202 islands in Maldives are inhabited, of which 13 islands inhabited by locals were destroyed by tsunamis, and the other 29 resort islands for foreigners cannot survive. The government declared that the country has entered a state of disaster.

After the disaster, several countries such as the United States, which have statements that there is no possibility of a major earthquake in the near future, have suffered huge embarrassment and also suffered huge pressure. Because of their remarks, many tourists from Western countries who travel to Southeast Asia also believe that there will be no major earthquake in Southeast Asia in the near future, so they arranged their travel according to the original plan. This has caused more than 3,000 tourists from EU countries in Southeast Asia to be killed.

The Indian Ocean tsunami caused unprecedented shock and a general mobilization of humanitarian rescue in European and American countries. At noon on January 5, 2oo, all EU countries held a three-minute silence for the victims of the tsunami. US President Bush also announced that the United States will lower the flag this week to "mother the victims of a tragic tragedy." After the disaster, various disaster relief plans were launched 6, and the in-depth fundraising activities were launched in Europe and the United States. In this tsunami rescue operation, the United States and Europe showed their outstanding performance, showing their strength of major powers, and competed to show their respective "disaster relief diplomacy."

The most direct reason why Europeans are so active in disaster relief is that among the foreigners who died, there are the most Europeans. When the tsunami was born, tens of thousands of European tourists who were on vacation believed that there would be no major earthquakes in several scientific research institutions in Europe and the United States in the near future, which made them experience the "most miserable and devastating" natural disasters in a century with the locals.

In addition, European media reported that the overwhelming reports also aroused the general sympathy of the people for the affected countries. Some reports said that the tsunami had suffered the same cruelty from the rich Western countries to the same disaster as the poor Asian countries. Some European media also made a philosophical appeal of "Everyone is Asian." French President Chirac said that this disaster was also "our".

Europeans also reflected: In recent years, despite Southeast Asian countries experiencing the impact of the Asian financial crisis and the impact of the highest standards, the tourism industry has been developing rapidly, and the low prices have attracted a large number of Western tourism consumers. However, the disorderly development has also caused damage to the ecological environment. After the birth of the tsunami, some European media proposed, "Why do we not provide necessary technical assistance when enjoying cheap tourism?" The article criticized the United States for irresponsible refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, believing that "without the spread of wealth and progress, there will be no globalization that is understood and tolerated." After this catastrophe, Western countries should "treat the issues of North-South dialogue and aid more rationally" and "establish more equal North-South relations."

In the early days of the disaster, the United States responded slowly and initially expressed only aid of $1.50,000. European newspapers and magazines criticized the United States for being "stingy" and "too stingy" and only used a small part of the GDP for foreign aid. This disaster relief fund was just a drop in the bucket compared with the $22.50 billion it threw on the Iraq battlefield. After being widely criticized by the outside world, the United States quickly took action and announced that it would increase its donations to $350 million.

Faced with the "strongness" of the United States, European countries are not showing weakness. The EU clearly stated that "we should play a leading role in this disaster relief." Recently, EU representatives visited the United States to negotiate the issue of post-disaster reconstruction. On January 6, European Commission President Barroso said that the EU will provide 100 million euros (about 132 million US dollars) of emergency relief funds to the tsunami affected countries and plans to provide 100 million euros loans to the affected countries. Barroso attended the special meeting of leaders of the ASEAN earthquake and tsunami after the disaster held on the same day. He pointed out that in addition to the above assistance, he will also ask the EU parliament to agree to provide 350 million euros to the affected countries for long-term reconstruction of the disaster areas.

France is the fastest and first among EU countries to participate in rescue, and is also one of the few European countries that can dispatch warships to disaster areas. It constantly makes new suggestions and strives to play the role of a major power. First, Chirac proposed to establish a humanitarian fast response force, which can perform tasks in multiple regions around the world. Later, someone made a concrete statement and advocated the establishment of a "European Emergency Rescue Force."

Among European countries, Germany's official rescue funds increased from 20,000 euros to 500 million, ranking among the world. German Chancellor Schroeder took the lead in proposing to delay or even reduce the debts of the affected countries, and received support from France, Britain and Italy. Germany also advocated that EU member states establish a lasting partnership with the affected countries to help them rebuild. After rushing back to China with Christmas vacations, Schroeder called on the people to save money for the New Year to donate to the disaster area. He said that even small donations are equally important and precious.

The most relevant country to the affected countries is the UK. Most of the seven Commonwealth members in the Indian Ocean are on the list of affected countries. In addition, there are millions of Indians and Sri Lankans in the UK. When the tsunami was born, 10,000 British people were on the scene, of which they were traveling. Therefore, the UK strives to seize the opportunity to play an example and pay attention to being consistent with the EU.

The UK is also the chairman of the G8 this year. In order to let the United States hear its voice, the UK uses this identity to vigorously advocate "immediately delay" the debts of the affected countries and strives to promote Western countries to increase their aid.

And in the east of the world, the performance of various countries is not much inferior.

Australian government announced on January 5 that the country would provide $100 million in aid to the earthquake and tsunami-affected countries, surpassing Germany's first donor.

In addition, China has also shown great dedication in it. On December 31, the Prime Minister solemnly stated in Zhongnanhai that when meeting with the envoys of the ten countries affected by the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami and representatives of some international organizations to China: China will increase the assistance of 500 million yuan to the countries affected by the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami on the basis of previous aid.

In addition to the central government, Hong Kong donated 700 million Hong Kong dollars to the disaster area, and the Natuna Special Administrative Region, which is closely related to the most severely affected Indonesia, has donated over 200 million US dollars in total. Although it has left Indonesia and joined China, the people in the Natuna area are still closely related to Indonesia, especially the Chinese in Indonesia, which is the direct reason for their enthusiastic donation.

The world's largest company in Indonesia and other affected countries has invested heavily in the world's largest company, Hanyu Mimen G Group, also donated a total of up to 100 million US dollars in donations to the countries in the disaster area after the disaster. Among them, up to 20 million US dollars were donated to Indonesia, and 10 million US dollars in the Maldives. The action of Hanyu Mimen G Group explains to the world why it is the largest company in the world today, and also shows all sī companies how to be a responsible world-class consortium.

In fact, the greatest contribution of the Hanyu Mimen G Group to this major earthquake and tsunami that affected tens of millions of people was not the $100 million it donated after the disaster, but the earthquake monitoring network it established covering many major earthquakes around the world, or more directly, the earthquake warning it issued a few days before the earthquake. This reduced a large number of casualties in several countries that believed that the earthquake would cause. According to conservative estimates, this warning caused at least 50,000 fewer deaths in these countries.

In addition to reducing casualties, this early warning also caused these countries to transfer a large amount of property to safe areas during that period, and it is estimated that these actions have saved at least billions of dollars in losses.

In fact, it is not only the countries that believe in the warning of Hanyu Mimen G Group. Even countries like India and Indonesia that do not believe in the warning of Hanyu Mimen G Group have received certain benefits. After all, this society has entered the information age and the Internet is spread very rapidly. Although the political parties of these countries have not taken action, there are always some people in the public who believe in the warning of Hanyu Mimen G Group and take appropriate actions, which has also made them save their lives and their families, which is relatively limited and also relatively limited.

The series of actions of Hanyu Mimen G Group in Indonesia have made Indonesians respect Hanyu Mimen G Group even more, which makes Hanyu Mimen G Group's status in Indonesia even more. This unexpected gain was beyond Zeng Lingfeng's expectations. You should know that this is only 20 million US dollars, and some cheap goods are not seen in his eyes at all.
