"Run away, run away." There were such shouts everywhere on the street, and under the violent shaking, those weak wooden buildings collapsed one after another and turned into piles of firewood on the side of the road.The red-hot charcoal fire rolled around, igniting all combustible things, and the entire Dongchen City had turned into a sea of ​​flames.Xingzi knew that her home was hopeless, so she had to give up fighting the fire and stared blankly at the fire getting bigger and bigger.

The earthquake is still not over, the earth is like a small boat on the top of the peaks and valleys, swaying back and forth without stopping for a moment.Xingzi was unsteady on her feet and fell to the ground in the shock. This fall also woke her up. She had more than just a house. "Taro, where is Taro?" Sachiko suddenly remembered that her eight-year-old son should be coming back from school soon, and what should she do if something unexpected happens to her.

Thinking that Taro might be in danger, she got up in a panic, and ran towards the school in the city against the flow of people fleeing out of the city.

Sachiko's husband was also not spared off-roading. After working in the shipyard all morning, he was tired and changed shifts at noon to go to the open space next to the shipyard for lunch.Several shipbuilders working together talked and laughed as they walked, talking about when the big warship they were building would be completed.

While talking and laughing with his colleagues, Yue Yue took out his own lunch box, which contained neatly packed rice balls.The snow-white rice balls and seaweed mixed with them, together with the pale yellow plums on the top, are so attractive that the off-roaders can't help but move their index fingers.Just when Cross Country was about to pick up the rice balls and start eating, the ground under his feet suddenly shook.

Off-road lost his footing and fell to the ground, and the lunch box in his hand was thrown more than ten meters away.His colleagues were also stumbling around, and before a few of them understood what was going on, they heard a series of crackling sounds.The pillars used to support the hull of the warship in the dock broke one after another, and the warship under construction suddenly fell to the side of the dock.

"It's an earthquake." Cross-country exclaimed, as a resident of the Wa Kingdom, he is very familiar with earthquakes.This island country is located on the earthquake fault zone in the Eastern Ocean, so there are more than 30 earthquakes and volcanic eruptions every year. Everyone has long been accustomed to this, but in the memory of nearly [-] years of off-roading, I have never seen such a violent one. earthquake.

Just as the cross-country was shouting, the sound of breaking became more and more intensive, the ground cracked one after another, hot mud splashed everywhere, the surrounding reinforced concrete structure dock guardrails broke, and the turbulent seawater poured in and washed away. Many workers in the dock.

"Tsunami." Many people exclaimed, their faces already ashen.The epicenter of this earthquake was not on land, which is the saddest thing for the residents of the island country.During an earthquake, as long as you are in an open area and your luck is not too bad, you can survive.But tsunamis are everywhere, and in the face of huge waves as high as tens of meters, any resistance is so weak.

The workers in the shipyard fled in all directions, but their escape could not escape the flooding of the tsunami at all.Huge waves with a height of more than ten meters swept in, engulfing everything on the coast at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. Cross-country and countless shipbuilders were swept away by the huge waves and their lives were unknown.

When the earthquake happened, Crown Prince Hirohito, who was the regent of the country, was holding a grand state banquet in the Akasaka Palace to entertain envoys from various countries.When the guests and the host were chatting happily, a violent tremor suddenly rose from the feet, and the table full of wine, vegetables, dishes and dishes fell to the ground one after another. Those envoys from various countries who were well-dressed and talking happily just now suddenly became gourds.

Yuren soon understood that a major earthquake had broken out in Dongchen City.With no time to take care of the envoys, Hirohito ran out of the house in a panic with the support of several servants.Hirohito was so flustered, not because he was afraid of the house collapsing.On the land of Japan where earthquakes are frequent, how could the royal buildings not consider earthquake resistance? As the first earthquake-resistant building in Japan, the Akasaka Palace was built so strong that it would not collapse at all.The reason why Yuren rushed to the garden in a panic was because he wanted to see how the entire Dongchen City was doing.

When Hirohito rushed into the room, the flames that caught his eyes almost dazzled his eyes.There were noisy voices everywhere, and flames soaring into the sky everywhere, and the entire Dongchen City had been reduced to a pile of rubble.Under the eyes of everyone, the newly built twelve-story Dongchen Tower was cut in half and turned into two dilapidated ruins.Apart from the Dongchen Tower, other buildings were not spared either. The tall buildings in the entire Dongchen City collapsed one after another, and the row upon row of Dongchen City in the past instantly became flat ground.

Chapter 949 Bloody Killing

The earth opened its bloody mouth, devouring the lives of countless people. Many people who managed to escape from the collapsed houses fell into the cracks and were drowned by the sudden emergence of groundwater.Those huge cracks opened and closed suddenly, and many people who fell into the cracks and survived were squeezed to death. The earth crushed everything swallowed into cakes, and the heart-piercing screams were endless.

This time the earthquake was as high as 8.1 on the Richter scale. Because the epicenter was close to the coast and the depth was shallow, the earthquake intensity was extremely high and the destructive power was even more serious.Near Negawa Railway Station, a train full of passengers was caught off guard and collided with a wall of mud and water caused by the earthquake.The large landslide with a width of more than 100 meters took the train and all the passengers into the sea, and swallowed it without a trace.

A large forest on Tianhu Mountain was loosened due to the earthquake and the rocky mountain. The large forest with an area of ​​several square kilometers rushed down the mountainside to the valley at a speed of more than 90 kilometers per hour.The forest glides through a railway, and everything on the railway is involved.The broken rails and carriages, and the broken human body rushed into Sagami Bay mixed with the mud, and the blood stained the surrounding seawater.

After 10 minutes, the earthquake gradually calmed down, but the disaster for the survivors was still not over.Although the earthquake didn't last long, because there were too many wooden buildings in Dongchen City, the fire caused by it was out of control.Many panicked people fled to open areas such as squares, beaches, and school playgrounds according to their usual experience.But this time the situation was different. Those who escaped the earthquake were surrounded by fire before they had time to rejoice.

The violent fire spread to the whole city. Many victims in the open area were surrounded by the fire. Many of them were burned to death or suffocated to death, or were trampled to death in the chaos of the crowd.

Many people jumped into the pool in the park, hoping to escape the fire.But the fire in the city was too great, and the pool water in the park gradually heated up under the scorching, scalding many people in it to death.In the end, the pool in the park was completely boiled dry.

The news of the Great Kanto Earthquake shocked the whole country, and the people of Japan fell into panic.Wa country is located on an earthquake-prone island, and such a harsh natural environment makes all the people of Wa country worry from time to time.The outbreak of this major earthquake has evoked the deepest worries in the hearts of the people. In the next few years, the Japanese country once again set off a wave of immigrants to the Far East. Everyone hopes to escape this disaster and avoid conflicts with Dongchen City. of the inhabitants ended up in the same way.

This earthquake caused heavy losses to the country of Japan. More than 30 buildings in Dongchen City, the most prosperous city in the country, collapsed, and the entire city almost disappeared out of thin air.In the entire earthquake-stricken area, including Kanagawa, Chiba, Shizuoka, Yamanashi and other places around Dongchen City, more than 15 people died and their whereabouts were unknown, more than 150 million people were homeless, and countless people were struggling to die , the plague was epidemic and there was no food, and it was very difficult for these survivors to survive.

After natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters. Taking advantage of the chaos of the earthquake, those Japanese right-wingers launched operations.Right-wing officials in the government declared that the resistance of the Koreans in the Korean peninsula was becoming increasingly fierce, and that the Koreans in Wa were likely to take the opportunity to sabotage.In addition, people with ulterior motives spread rumors among the people, claiming that "the Koreans will take the opportunity to riot and destroy the military and political departments of the Wa Kingdom."

With such a clumsy excuse, the right-wing elements of the Wa country launched a massacre of Koreans in the disaster area.With the cooperation of Dongchencheng military police, the Japanese right-wing youth self-police group rushed into the Korean community with sharp knives.Unprepared Koreans have no ability to resist at all. Except for a few people who rose up to resist, all the old and weak can do is beg.However, none of these can shake the murderous nature of the Japanese people. Facing the old and weak Goryeo who has no ability to resist, they have no mercy at all.

Elderly people were beheaded, children were impaled with knives and thrown into the fire, and a small number of young women were inhumanly ravaged.Facts have proved that the humble blood in the bones of the Japanese people cannot be changed no matter how civilized the cloak is.In this massacre, more than [-] Koreans were killed by the Japanese, and the entire Koryo settlement area was filled with blood and piled up like mountains, and there were less than a hundred survivors.

After killing all the Goryeo people, the Wa people were still not satisfied, and they slashed at the neighboring Hualan people with their butcher knives.Because of several defeats at the hands of the Western Special Zone, the Japanese people's hatred for Hualan was almost on the table. When someone raised a butcher's knife at the Hualan people, other Japanese people followed suit.

More than [-] Hualan people were killed in the chaos, and even the famous Chinese labor leader Wang Xitian was not spared.The massacre of Goryeo and Hualan quickly spread to other cities, and the land of Kanto has become a Shura hell, and the death toll is rising steadily.

It was on the third day after the earthquake in Hualan that the news of a major earthquake in Wa was received.Faced with the catastrophe in neighboring countries, the Hualan people showed rare kindness.The efficiency of the central government of Beihua City is unprecedentedly high.Because after President Li Yuanhong was expelled by Cao Kun, Gao Ling, the interim chief of internal affairs, held an emergency cabinet meeting and asked the governors of all provinces to unite with local organizations of gentry and businessmen to hold a disaster relief conference in Japan, in line with the government's actions.At the same time, the government asked Guanghai City in the Western Special Zone to send merchant ships to deliver food and medicine to Japan, and to help the Red Cross go to Japan for rescue.

Faced with the disaster of the Wa Kingdom, many people who still have good feelings for the Wa Kingdom have issued statements, saying that the Wa Kingdom is a friendly neighbor of Hualan.Sun Wenhai even called Prince Hirohito, the regent of the Wa Kingdom, in the name of the Eastern Guangdong Military Government, expressing his deep condolences for the disaster in the Wa Kingdom.At the same time, Sun Wenhai also sent condolences to his friends in Japan, Kihachiro Okura, Fangosuke Kukyo, Mitsuru Toyama, and Tozo Miyazaki.

Even Duan Ruiquan, who had stepped down and lived in Tianfeng City, set up a disaster relief comrades' association. He called on the Central Government of Beihua City, the Western Special Zone Government, the Military Government of Eastern Guangdong, and the military and political chiefs of various provinces to call on everyone to recruit and help the victims of the disaster in Japan.

For a time, the voice of the whole country to support the disaster-stricken areas of the Wa Kingdom was extremely high, as if the two countries had settled their suspicions and established friendly neighbors separated by a narrow strip of water, which would create a common prosperity and glory for all generations.However, in the midst of rescue calls across the country, the Western Special Zone was very calm. The major logistics companies in Guanghai City even received a notice from the government that they were not allowed to undertake any transportation tasks to Japan.In the entire Western Special Zone, there were no donations for disaster relief, as if the Kanto Earthquake that shocked the world had never happened.

9 Fifty Chapters of TV Speech

With regard to the tranquility of the Western Special Zone, all forces in the country naturally dare not point fingers, but the literati they have bribed have become more and more clamorous.Faced with the strength of the Western Special Zone, all the warlords in the country feel tremendous pressure, so they will naturally not let go of the opportunity to discredit them.

Many literati have published articles in newspapers and magazines, claiming that Zhao Shouhong is too small to achieve great things.Because of several conflicts between the two countries, the importance of good-neighborly friendship has been forgotten. In ancient times, Confucius said that repaying grievances with virtue, and that only by influencing each other with kindness can the two countries become truly friendly neighbors.

This kind of statement was approved by many people for a while, and the newspapers were full of condemnation of the Western Special Zone for a while, as if not doing so would not be enough to show their nobility.However, the Western District still handled it calmly and did not make any comments on it.It wasn't until the Beihua City Government, under the instigation of Cao Kun, also began to put pressure on the Western Special Zone, asking Zhao Shouhong to explain his indifference to the disaster, the counterattack of the Western Special Zone finally began.

On the morning of September 1923, 9, a big man came to Zhongchuan TV Station. Zhao Shouhong was going to give the world's first TV speech here to audiences all over the world.Because the TV station had been notified in advance, everyone was waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the speech to start. They wanted to see how Zhao Shouhong would explain his indifference to the Western Special Zone recently.

In addition to the audience in front of the TV, there are also many people in front of the radio. Zhongchuan Broadcasting Station will conduct a live broadcast of this speech simultaneously, so that people who have no money to buy a TV can also hear the speech through the radio. The whole process.

When Zhao Shouhong appeared on the screen, his expression was extremely solemn, he was dressed in black Chinese clothes with white flowers on his chest.Facing the audience in front of the TV, Zhao Shouhong said slowly: "Just half a month ago, a major earthquake occurred in the Kanto area of ​​the Japanese country. Dongchen City was destroyed and more than [-] people died. These days, domestic Many people are raising donations for the Wa country, and they have also criticized the indifference of the Western Special Zone."

Zhao Shouhong paused for a moment when he said this, a gleam appeared in his eyes, and he said in a loud voice: "I only have one comment on these criticisms, a group of foreign slaves and traitors who flatter foreigners." When Zhao Shouhong said this, many TV sets Everyone in front of the radio gasped.They never expected that Zhao Shouhong would be so decisive, as if he wanted to start a war with the literati all over the country.

Just when the audience and listeners were collectively petrified, Zhao Shouhong spoke again: "Many people claimed in the newspapers that Hualan and Wa are neighbors separated by a narrow strip of water, and they need good neighborliness and friendship. I don't know what is going on in these people's minds. What. Do you want to ask for credit from the master of the Japanese kingdom, or do you want to get a good reputation for benevolence? But you seem to have forgotten that the Japanese kingdom and Hualan have never had many friendly neighbors, from the Qi family army who became famous in the fight against the Japanese, to Luliang during the Wanli period Naval battles, from the Sino-Japanese War more than 20 years ago, every time the Japanese invaded us. History has proved that the Japanese have a dream of the mainland in their hearts. They have hoped to seize the land of our Hualan people for generations and destroy us. Genocide and genocide are all killed, so that the Wa people can multiply and thrive on our land. Therefore, as long as the national power of the Wa country allows, they will reveal their aggressiveness, and they have never stopped for thousands of years."

Zhao Shouhong's naked exposure made many people wake up like a dream, and they realized that it seems that the Wa Kingdom is indeed always invading Hualan and has never thought of being friendly.

Zhao Shouhong, who took a sip of water, continued facing the camera: "I read in the newspaper that many old masters claimed that Confucius said that he repaid his grievances with virtue, and we should influence each other with generosity and kindness. But I feel that the classics I have read It seems to be a different version from those old masters, because what I saw was Confucius saying that he repays kindness with kindness, and repays grievances with straightness. The so-called repaying grievances with straightness means treating those who hurt themselves with a fair and upright attitude, instead of being warm-hearted but sticking to others cold ass, because that's not kindness, that's stupid."

Zhao Shouhong made a rare swearing in the televised speech, causing many audiences to burst into laughter.However, they also vaguely felt that what Zhao Shouhong said was the right way, and that the idea of ​​repaying grievances with kindness was a bit too wishful thinking.

"However, it was Confucius who reported his complaints directly. Zhao Shouhong is just a mortal, and I don't have such noble sentiments. The western special zone believes that people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Once someone dares to violate us, it must be done with respect." Blood for blood and tooth for tooth." Zhao Shouhong's words were so loud that those who harbored hostility were chilled in their hearts. Such a statement needs strength to support it.Looking at the entire Hualan country, only Zhao Shouhong has such confidence and pride, and dares to say the words of pennies and pennies.

Many people felt that Zhao Shouhong was too iron-blooded and seemed to have lost the magnanimous demeanor of the kingdom of heaven, but what he said next made it difficult for everyone to think of censure.

"The reason why the Western Special Zone has been calmly treating domestic disaster relief for so many days is because we are investigating a murder case, and I am here today because the truth about the murder case has been revealed." In a hurry, he erected the display board on the table and pointed it at the camera.

On the exhibition board are color photos taken with the latest high-definition camera produced by Guanghaicheng Wright Zeiss Optical Company. These photos are of high definition and very bright colors.It was a real photo, and the cyborg guards risked their lives to go to Japan to take the evidence.In those photos, young Japanese men in black Japanese army police uniforms or school uniforms are killing old and weak women and children with samurai swords in their hands.

Some of the old and the weak wore clothes similar to those of the Japanese, and they could be identified as Koreans at a glance, while others had the iconic long braids of the Houjin Kingdom.These people were Chinese workers who crossed from Hualan to the east more than ten years ago. Because they did not experience the changes of the Republic of China, they still kept their original costumes and hair buns 11 years after the founding of the Republic of China.

Anyone can see from such a clear photo that the Wa people were beheading and killing the Hualan people. This is not a fight, but a massacre.Everyone in front of the TV said that they were suffocated. They couldn't imagine that when the natural disaster struck, the Japanese people would still have such thoughts.

"It is precisely because of the despicable behavior of the Japanese people that I am unwilling to provide any assistance to them." Zhao Shouhong's eyes were slightly red: "I would like to ask those who talk about good neighborliness and friendship in the newspapers. What do you think of these photos?"

Chapter 951 Diplomatic Protest

At this time, Zhao Shouhong can tell without hearing it. It is estimated that there is already a lot of curses in front of the TV. When those curious radio listeners hear about the content of these photos, they will probably become even more excited.There is no doubt that the hatred propaganda against the Wa country must not stop.Even Zhao Shouhong, who came from thousands of years later, still remembers all the bad deeds of the later generations of the Wa Kingdom, so he must let this kind of hatred take root in the hearts of the Chinese people now, so as to prevent future generations from being taken advantage of by the Wa Kingdom and causing unnecessary losses.

Just when the audience in front of the TV was already excited, Zhao Shouhong changed the subject: "Now, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Special Zone and the diplomatic plenipotentiary authorized by the central government, I officially issued a warning to the Japanese country. Apologize for the bad incidents of innocent foreigners in Lanzhou, give corresponding compensation to the families of the victims, and guarantee that such incidents will not happen in the future, otherwise the Western Special Administrative Region reserves the right to pursue the matter. If the Japanese government insists on going its own way, the West Special Army does not mind using force to solve the problem Question, please remember one sentence, those who offend Hualan will be punished even if they are far away."

Zhao Shouhong's words were loud and merciless, and the people in front of the TV and radio couldn't help cheering.Those who offend Hualan will be punished even if they are far away. What a bold declaration. Hualan, which has suffered for decades, can finally straighten its spine again.

Although many so-called "sighted people" in China disapprove of Zhao Shouhong's approach, thinking that he speaks too much and is easy to be counterattacked.But many of them have to admit that a powerful force should be so stubborn.This is the dignity of a country, the integrity of a nation, and the heroism and passion that any Hualan person will be passionate about.

Zhao Shouhong's televised speech made the officials of the SAR government unexpected. In the previous meeting, everyone did not make a decision to threaten Japan with a statement.Zhao Shouhong's temporary decision caused everyone to be in a hurry, especially the army had to make great adjustments.However, soldiers are passionate, and Zhao Shouhong's heroic oath is just right for them. Even if they urgently mobilize the defense area to stand ready, they are willing to do so.

After Zhao Shouhong left the TV station, Xie Mingjue leaned over with a livid face: "Chairman, you are too impulsive this time, and you may push yourself into a desperate situation. If the Japanese country does not apologize, can we really start a war?"

"So what if we go to war?" Jiang Fangzhen's voice came over: "If the government ignores the massacre of its citizens, people will lose their hearts. How will the Western Special Zone gain a foothold in Hualan in the future? What's more, our army is not as good as the Japanese army. Not weak, why be afraid of them."

"You're talking about the army. Doesn't the chief of staff think about the situation of the navy? If the navies of the two sides go to war this time, will our only two battleships have to fight against the huge battleship fleet of Japan?" Xie Mingjue is obviously not interested in the military either. I don't know anything. On the contrary, as the Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, he is very clear about the composition of the Western Special Administrative Region army.

"Sea battles must be fought with battleships? If Japan wants to fight, we will accompany you." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Shouhong's mouth.
