Chapter 441 A Significant Exchange
Tokyo.

It was still in a living room that didn't look like a formal meeting place. Several Asians in suits were kneeling on the ground. Sake was placed in front of them. Several wine glasses were lined up, and the glasses were empty.

The acquaintances sitting around the low table had obviously had a round of drinking, their faces were slightly red, and their eyes were a little wandering.

But completely different from this drunken state, the logic revealed in their conversations indicates that none of them is actually drunk.

"The response of Mt. Fuji has become more and more intense. Our experts predict that within a year or two at most, we will face a large-scale eruption."

"The impact of such an eruption on us will be devastating. According to their estimates, by that time, the entire Tokyo may be plunged into darkness."

"Masters, we must be prepared for this."

Hearing his words, the rest of the people nodded together, but no one was willing to speak.

The reason is very simple, in the eyes of others, what the man said has no meaning of any attention at all, it is purely drunk talk.

Fuji eruption?
So what can be done?

In other words, what can a mortal like myself do?

If God Amaterasu really sent down the punishment, then it would be fine to bear it honestly, and it would not be necessary to organize manpower to block Mount Fuji, right?
As for the series of actions such as disaster prevention drills and post-disaster reconstruction drills, they are actually not something that should be considered under the current situation. The economy of this country is already extremely fragile. The reaction and the consequences are definitely not what officials like them want to see.

Therefore, when facing a possible crisis, just bury your head in the ground and act like an ostrich.

Instead of planning for a rainy day and considering those unrealistic things, it is better to gamble on your luck.
-
Who can tell when Mount Fuji will erupt?
Everyone present here is already an old man, as long as he survives this year, even if there is a flood in the future, what does it have to do with him?

Seeing everyone's performance, the man frowned with some dissatisfaction, and then asked:
"Why, gentlemen, do you think I'm talking drunk? Don't you care about the life and death of the people of Tokyo?"

"Sakata-kun, we are concerned. But the problem is, this kind of concern is a bit too much."

"What is too much! Isn't it our responsibility to prevent disasters from happening? You bastard, what are you talking about!"

Hearing Sakata's stern questioning, the man who answered quickly sat up straight, put his hands straight on his knees, lowered his head almost to his chest, and then replied loudly:

"I'm very sorry! I'm sorry! I was wrong! We should be prepared!"

Sakata snorted lightly, and without looking at the groveling man, he turned his gaze to other people and continued to ask:
"So, Mikami-kun, what do you think? Do you think we should prepare for the eruption of Mt. Fuji?"

Mikami on the opposite side was obviously taken aback for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he answered:

"Uh Sakata-kun, you know, I have always agreed with you. The recent activity of Mount Fuji is indeed a big threat to us. If we consider the safety of the people, we should really make some preparations."

"For example, we can conduct disaster prevention drills in advance, communicate early warning messages to the public, and prepare the city's emergency transportation system in advance. But the problem is that such actions will seriously damage the normal operation of the entire city and cause a lot of trouble. "

"I don't think even Sakata-kun is willing to do things like causing trouble to the people, right?"

Hearing his answer, Sakata's expression on the opposite side finally eased a bit. He refilled the glass in front of him with wine, and then said:

"Mishang-kun, that's great, you've at least thought about more things than that bastard Taketa!"

"This is the attitude we should have. We have to make all the plans in advance, otherwise if something happens, will we just watch the people suffer?"

"However, your point is correct. Post-disaster preparations are indeed too extravagant for us now. The fragile economy of this country cannot afford such harassment."

Having said that, the others secretly had some slander in their hearts.

After all, don't you still have nothing to do?
I have said so much before, and you have made a big show of your prestige. Isn't it to show your authority as a superior?
Just drank a few glasses of sake, could it be that he was really drunk?
However, what they didn't expect was that after a brief pause, Sakata's tone suddenly changed.

"We can't afford the consequences of an eruption, and we can't organize disaster drills in advance, but what if I say, we can stop the eruption?"

"what?"

Even with the person who was still bowing his head in reflection, everyone in the room widened their eyes.

They didn't understand what the so-called "stop the volcanic eruption" meant, but Sakata's serious tone made them understand that the other party was not joking.

After hesitating for a moment, Mikami asked tentatively:
"Sakata-kun, what do you mean...we already have the technology to control volcanic eruptions?"

Sakata shook his head and replied:

"No, we don't."

"However, the Ugly people have, and they have contacted me through extremely confidential channels, expressing their determination to teach me this technology."

"Teach us technology?! At what cost?"

Mikami asked in disbelief.

He didn't believe that those ugly people would provide their own country with this kind of technology that was obvious at first glance based on the so-called "humanitarian spirit". This was the experience he had accumulated in dealing with the other party for a long time.

The bureaucratic system I am in, and even the country I am in, are nothing more than a dog to the superpower on the other side of the sea, and this dog is not a pet dog, but a hunting dog and watchdog.

The owner will give the pet dog free food, but such treatment will never be imposed on the guard dog.

No biting, no barking, no food, this is a very simple rule.

The only thing he can hope for is that the one they need to bite this time will not be too strong.

It's okay if it's South Island, but if it's Huaxia, forget it.

It happens from time to time that a dog bites a dog. To bite a tiger that has stepped out of the deep forest?It's a bit too much for others.

Sakata obviously noticed the expressions of the people around him, he lowered his tone slightly, and then said soothingly:

"Don't worry, what we are going to do this time is not directly an enemy of Huaxia. In fact, even if they are ugly people, they don't dare to do it now."

"Or to put it more directly, we are not going to be an enemy of anyone this time."

"We just need to deliver certain things to their designated place under strict confidentiality."

"Will it be a weapon of mass destruction?"

Mikami asked suspiciously.

"Of course not! If this is the case, how can I discuss it with you?"

"Why, am I such a stupid person in the eyes of the gentlemen?"

"Of course not, Sakata-kun, but we are really curious, what exactly is it that needs to be transported by us--this obviously wants us to take the risk for them, right?"

Sakata nodded slightly, and answered:

"That's true. But this time the risk is not that great."

"As I said, we're not going to pose a direct threat to anyone, we're just going to cause problems for certain countries when we're done."

"I won't play riddles with you anymore. This time, our goal is Yuyu Island."

"We want to detonate the submarine volcano near Yuyu Island, destroy the surrounding environment of Yuyu Island, and prevent Chinese people from landing on the island in a short time."

"The reason why Ugly Country wants to do this, I think everyone can guess, but what I want to say is that this may not be a good thing for us."

Hearing this, everyone in the room nodded approvingly, but some people still expressed concern about it.

"But, Mr. Sakata, if the Chinese people find out what we have done, it won't be easy, right?"

"Everyone already knows what happened at Camp Lemonnier. Their methods are even more bizarre than we thought. Even if the final result is not a hot war, I think they still have countless methods to break us down."

"Do we still dare to confront them head-on? This is unrealistic."

Sakata sighed, and then replied:

"You're right, we really don't have any capital to fight against them."

"But the problem is, we also have to make that choice."

"Under the current situation, we can't just bet on one side. While maintaining a close relationship with Huaxia, it is the best strategy to reserve a way out for ourselves."

"After all, who can see the future? Huaxia has the advantage now, but how long this advantage can be maintained, you don't know?"

"What if one day they get into trouble again?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence. After a long time, everyone drank the wine in their glasses and left the room in twos and threes.

Two days later, a special container arrived at the port of Tokyo, and was secretly transported to a Coast Guard base.

No one knew what was in the container, but everyone involved in this secret operation knew that a storm was brewing in the Pacific Ocean.
