What made Henry Kinney most incredible was that hundreds of thousands of people had been wiped out and millions of people were waiting for rescue among the ruins, but the government had disappeared!
He wrote somewhat angrily: "The men sat on the ground blankly, watching the flames slowly engulfing everything. If someone gave a little leadership, they might be able to save the entire neighborhood. Japanese officials are usually everywhere and do everything in detail.
They all wanted to use their power, but at this time they almost disappeared from the face of the earth. Even the police were nowhere to be seen..."
So, why is all this happening? Where has the government, which has always been strong and boundless in power, gone? Is it just because of the ancient legend and the practice of "the emperor abdicates" that they do nothing and let thousands of people do nothing?
Millions of people left to fend for themselves?
Japan is in a state of anarchy. It makes Japan even worse on the day of disaster, like a pile of loose sand. However, it is not the whole expression of Japan's earthquake in 1923.
Almost as soon as the earthquake occurred, thousands of victims flocked to Akasaka Palace. They not only came to seek shelter; their silence and solemnity expressed a silent protest and silent request:
The emperor must abdicate and a government must be formed immediately!
Regardless of whether the idea of "catfish turning over" is superstitious or not, this is not only a practice that has been practiced for thousands of years, but also has great benefits in calming people's hearts, stabilizing victims, mobilizing officials, and organizing disaster relief.
However, for Hirohito, he clearly remembered the dramatic scene a few months ago: on the eve of taking office as regent, Emperor Taisho, who was usually dementia and had intermittent mental illness, protected his jade seal and refused to hand it over;
Later, it was the elders of Saionji Temple who coaxed and deceived, and used all the means to deal with naughty children, so that he could obtain this symbol of national power. It is not difficult to imagine that if the emperor was forced to abdicate, this disease-ridden and dying idiot would probably
A desperate death...
He did not want to bear the charge of "unfilial piety". He even hoped to win the reputation of a wise monarch in this way.
He is determined to divert the public's attention, not only to let the tradition of abdication go, but also to use this gesture to cover up his own incompetence, and incidentally to exonerate the increasingly bloated and corrupt bureaucracy...
...
Kure Navy Yard.
"There's an earthquake! There's an earthquake!"
The screams of terror spread throughout the factory.
Big earthquake, big earthquake!
Everyone is running, everyone is interested.
It's a mess, it's a complete mess!
Everyone was shouting crazily and running crazily.
The workshop was shaking violently, and the three households Geyuan smiled faintly...
The time has come. He is fearless. He has already been prepared for this day to come. The only thing that shocked him was why the country was able to judge the arrival of this major earthquake so accurately...
...
Matsumoto Kaiqing rushed out. He suddenly stopped and glanced back with infinite nostalgia...
Sanhu Geyuan stayed there, never to come out again, never again...
"If you really can't bear me dying like this, then please do me a favor..." Sanhu Geyuan's voice sounded in his ears:
"My name is Xu Guanglai, a native of Zhengzhou, Henan. I graduated from the first batch of the Military Reunification Program. I have a wife, two children, and an old lady at home. The birthdays of my eldest son and my youngest son are... If you can return to China one day,
Please give my two sons a gift in my name on their birthday, just say it was from me. I know that after I die for my country, Mr. Dai will make up some excuses about how I died, but
I want my sons to have hope before they reach adulthood, thinking that their dad is still here..."
At this moment, tears burst out of Matsumoto Kaiqing's eyes!
Farewell, my brother, my comrade...
...
The house shook even more violently.
The smile on Sanhu Geyuan's face became stronger and stronger. He looked towards the workshop, and then...
At 12:03 noon on September 1, 1923, a big explosion occurred at the Kure Navy Yard in Japan...
This explosion was horrific...
This explosion caused by the boiler shop quickly triggered a series of explosions.
Then there are the adjacent workshops, the warehouse on the dock, the dock...
The Kure Navy Factory, which embodies the dream of Japan's navy, was quickly destroyed in a series of explosions...
...
"Come out, come out..." Qingniao Sanmo panted and pulled out the small teapot, panting and sitting on the ground: "How about it, can you still run?"
Little Teapot looked at the Japanese military policeman who rescued him in surprise, but he didn't react for a moment.
My fate was really lucky. I didn't die in the Japanese military police or in the earthquake. In addition, I was rescued by the Japanese military police inexplicably.
"Du...Mr. Du has left Tokyo..." Ao Niao Sanmo was also glad that he was lucky. He never dreamed that such a terrible earthquake would happen in Tokyo: "Now your
You are the only one left in the organization in Tokyo, run, run quickly..."
"You, who are you?" Little Teapot still hasn't responded.
"Don't worry about who I am!" Bluebird Sanmo stood up holding the small teapot: "In short, you are the only one left in your organization in Tokyo now, let's go, let's go quickly!"
Little Teapot barely stood up. The wounds on his body hurt so much that he fainted. He tried to move, but he was still able to walk: "Thank you very much. We will meet again in the future!"
Qingniao Sanmo smiled. I hope we will meet again.
This earthquake came so suddenly. How many of your comrades died in this earthquake?
"Help...Help..." Suddenly, a cry for help rang out from under the rubble not far away.
That was Junjun Arai's voice, and Aotori Sanmo knew it right away.
Damn the Japanese, even if they die ten thousand times, they still won’t be able to understand their hatred!
But he had to save him! Aotori Sanmo forced himself to calm down. He finally regained Arai Junjun's trust in him. If Arai Junjun died and a new boss was appointed, God knows what would happen.
.....
Qingniao Sanmo calmed down: "Your Majesty Commander, don't move, I'm here to save you!"
He picked up the pieces of rubble vigorously, and kept doing so. The surroundings began to shake again, and Junjun Arai's exclamation came from below again...
"Don't move, don't move." Qingniao Sanmo kept saying, and then finally dug out a hole.
He saw Arai Junjun, whose face was covered in blood: "Commander, can you move?"
"Okay, okay!" Junjun Arai shouted hurriedly.
Qingniao Sanmo pulled him out with force and found that except for his head being smashed, there was nothing serious about him.
"Uesugi... Uesugi Shinoda is still down there..." Junjun Arai gasped.
Aotori Sanmo gritted his teeth and got in regardless of his life or death. After a few minutes, he also brought out the unconscious Uesugi Shinoda.
After simple first aid, Uesugi Shinoda Yuyou woke up...
"Bluebird-kun, thank you. Thank you!" Junjun Arai said with a trembling voice.
"Your Excellency, Commander, it's nothing, this is..." Midway through his words, Aotori Sanmo suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Chiyoko!"
Saying that, he ran out desperately!
Junjun Arai and Shinoda Uesugi stared blankly at everything in front of them.
It's terrible, it's really terrible. The earthquake almost flattened the surrounding area... There is no power in the world that can withstand the wrath of nature...
"We once doubted Mr. Blue Bird, but in the end it was him who saved us." Junjun Arai sighed: "If he was really a Chinese spy, how could he save our lives?"
"Yes." Uesugi Shinoda's eyes were filled with gratitude: "We really wronged him. This time it is really thanks to his risklessness..."
He really couldn't talk any more.
Without Qingniao Sanmo, maybe I would lie down there forever...
...
"Chiyoko! Chiyoko!"
Qingniao Sanmo yelled crazily.
There are nothing but ruins in front of us.
His heart was in his throat. Although Chiyoko Sasaki was only his "wife" in name only, the life during this period of time had already created a deep relationship between the two.
"Chiyoko, Chiyoko!"
Qingniao Sanmo desperately clawed at the rubble, clawing...
Suddenly, someone gently tapped his shoulder.
Qingniao Sanmo stopped moving, stood up, and slowly turned his head. When he saw clearly, at that moment, tears filled his eyes.
Chiyoko Sasaki.
He hugged his "wife" tightly, fearing that if he let go, his "wife" would leave him forever...
Tears also flowed from Chiyoko Sasaki's eyes.
Husband, is this her husband? When the earthquake came, she happened to go out to do some things and did not stay at home. She narrowly avoided this terrible disaster. When the whole of Tokyo began to be destroyed, she suddenly
I felt lonely and scared, and suddenly I felt that I had never missed Qingniao Sanmo by my side that much.
And now, Blue Bird Sanmo has really appeared.
It feels so good to have a husband.
She wished she could be held by her husband for the rest of her life and never be separated. No matter how big the earthquake was, she would no longer be afraid.
Qingniao Sanmo choked with sobs and couldn't say a word.
The disaster has not passed yet, the danger has not left yet, but the feeling that both of us are still alive is so good, and the feeling of home is so good!
