Chapter 646 The Best Middleman in the World
Although there are many countries in Europe, their combined area is similar to that of China and the United States, and they were covered by radiation dust almost instantly.

The accident naturally had an unavoidable impact on the lives of ordinary people, and European countries have imposed food restrictions, especially fungi such as milk and mushrooms.

France is a little more unique in its response measures. In order to avoid causing public panic, it claimed that radioactive dust only drifted to the borders of Germany and Italy. At the same time, it did not conduct measurements of possible radioactive contamination of food similar to those in other countries.

People in developed areas obviously will not be able to face this sudden change calmly and calmly just because they enjoy the high-quality modern material life symbolized by color TVs and refrigerators in this era, similar to what the Chinese people still remember in the original time and space. After all, group behaviors such as panic buying of anti-inflammatory drugs, iodized salt, masks, etc. cannot be completely suppressed.

Prices are soaring, rumors are flooding... What a mess!
While the governments of various European countries were nervously responding to this emergency, Tang Huan, who had recently embarked on an intensive business trip in Western Europe and received enviable orders, also noticed the restless atmosphere, so he issued a message through his spokesperson A brief statement.

……

"In the face of this accident, everyone should face it together regardless of each other. I personally donated 1.2 million US dollars of nuclear protection materials to European countries, and cooperated with local public welfare organizations to distribute them to families."

"Children are the most vulnerable group and are far more vulnerable than adults. I will airlift a batch of supplies including milk powder and fruits from Australia and the United States to the children who need it most."

"If the Soviet Union is willing to accept, I will donate 5000 million US dollars in funds and materials alone."

"The use of nuclear energy is a blessing for good and a disaster for evil. I hope the world will recognize the serious threats of nuclear weapons and nuclear war and be more active in nuclear disarmament negotiations."

……

This news immediately stirred up a thousand waves, and the major media began to discuss Tang Huan's generosity, benevolence, and sense of responsibility... The Soviet Union, which had always been cold-hearted about the attention of the Western world, accepted Tang Huan's kindness at an unprecedented speed— — This reaction is not difficult to understand, because Tang Huan is acting in the name of an individual, and has no connection with any enterprise, institution or country.

People only paid attention to Mr. Richest Man's statement in public, but did not pay attention to Tang Huan's business kingdom's execution ability in private.

Starting from May 5, public welfare activities to distribute materials to the public began in various squares, sports stadiums and other places in Europe.Reporters swarmed in with full filming equipment and compared the long queues of people with the mountains of supplies on their newspapers.

This activity is implemented by local public welfare organizations and volunteers including celebrities. With the assistance of scientific and technological products such as Fangyuan computers and scanners, we try our best to distribute materials in an orderly manner on the basis of families, so as to achieve the greatest benefit. .

Of course, this method of distinction is not strict. Several members of a family can get more supplies with their own documents, and speculators can even resell them in this way.

Tang Huan didn't want to deal with this situation, and he couldn't deal with it anymore. Anyway, he did everything that should be done, and he gained what should be gained.

But the dissonance still struck on the third day, as the time required for the recording process led to slow distribution of supplies, fueling anxiety, especially when outrage over reused IDs was identified, spawning riots event.

When a photo of a Fangyuan computer being pushed from the table to the ground appeared on the front page of the newspaper, the country involved was very embarrassed. After severely condemning this uncivilized and immoral behavior, it quickly dispatched police forces to maintain order.

Tang Huan didn't say much other than asking relevant personnel to pay attention to safety. Anyway, the quantity of supplies is limited, and once they are distributed, they will be taken away. Greenpeace, on the other hand, publicly praised the richest man's attitude towards nuclear weapons. , he needs to respond seriously.

This international non-governmental organization engaged in environmental protection was established in Canada in 1971. Its first operation was to prevent the second attack by the US military code-named "Amchitka" under the Amchitka Island in Alaska. Underground nuclear testing, currently the main content of work is to use non-violent methods to prevent atmospheric and underground nuclear testing, as well as whaling on the high seas, has not yet expanded to more areas that attract criticism.

In 1979, funding problems at Greenpeace's Vancouver headquarters created disagreements within the organization about fundraising and organizational direction, which in turn hindered the global movement.

Soon, Greenpeace Canada adopted a new structure that would allow the dispersed Greenpeace offices to be coordinated by a single global sponsor.

In this way, Greenpeace International was finally established in October 1979.Under the new structure, local offices will contribute a portion of their income to Greenpeace International, which will be responsible for the overall direction of the movement.

Because Greenpeace's move to restructure itself into a hierarchical, unified and coordinated organization runs counter to the anti-authoritarian ethos prevailing in other environmental organizations at this stage, it has been criticized from time to time, accused of collaborating with its main enemy —Multinational enterprises adopt the same management method.

But it is undeniable that Greenpeace's pragmatic structure has ensured its sustainable development, and thus it can concentrate its strength to compete with the government and enterprises.

It has to be said that there are always self-contradictions everywhere in the world to explain what is thought-provoking.

Regarding the olive branch suddenly handed over by Greenpeace, which is far more pragmatic than other environmental protection organizations, Tang Huan couldn't help muttering in his heart: Brother is the boss of several large multinational companies. A large amount of electronic waste has been generated, but it has not attracted attention for the time being, but no matter what, it is a matter of course that it belongs to your opponents, and now there is a sudden flattery, what is it for?Could it be that you are short of money and want to raise funds with me personally.

Tang Huan's attitude towards situations that were not within the scope of his plan had always been that the world was sinister and he had to guard against it.

But one thing is that the voice against nuclear testing is now very high around the world, which can be called politically correct.For example, on March 3 this year, China announced a moratorium on atmospheric nuclear tests.

Therefore, Tang Huan was not too suspicious on this point. He asked his public relations assistant to send a donation of US$10, expressing his attitude towards the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and then went to Ukraine without stopping.

During the contact with the Soviet Union, Tang Huan tried to see if he could go to the scene.

The Soviet Union couldn't keep it under wraps, the only thing missing was a suitable way of communication, and Tang Huan, who had a growing international reputation, happened to be an ideal candidate.

Nikolai Ivanovich Ryzhkov, who officially took office as the chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union last year, who is equivalent to the prime minister of the government, received Tang Huan in person and thanked him for his selfless donation and sincere care .

In extraordinary times, there is not so much time for small talk.Immediately, Tang Huan put on protective clothing, got on the plane, and went to the accident scene.

However, the accompanying CNN reporters were asked not to carry filming equipment.

Seeing that the other party resisted a bit, Tang Huan, who didn't care too much, said, "If you don't take it, don't take it with you. Where the radiation is too strong, it will be difficult for your equipment to work normally."

This little episode was over, and Tang Huan's trip went smoothly.The Soviet Union briefed him on the progress of the rescue. It is stepping up the construction of a huge sarcophagus to cover the accident site, enough to protect it for 30 years, that is, until 2016.

Tang Huan immediately said that he admired the Soviet Union's organizational ability and firm determination to mobilize huge manpower and material resources to deal with this accident. The heroes and deeds that emerged during the rescue process shocked and moved him even more.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan specifically mentioned that three volunteers, Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov, and Boris Baranov, undertook the mortal task of diving into the submerged basement of No. After melting through several layers of concrete floors, the hot graphite block and core melt melted at 4 degrees Celsius, and encountered the highly radioactive waste water accumulated in the basement, causing a water vapor explosion.

Secretly surprised that Tang Huan could even inquire about this kind of news, Ryzhkov, who underestimated his Russian ability, held the hand of the richest man with tears in his eyes, and said affectionately: "I didn't expect that Tang Huan is also a very good man. A man with heroic feelings. After the Moscow Olympics, you, an old friend of the Soviet people, almost never visited Moscow again, and one of your colleagues in Silicon Valley, Jobs, visited the Soviet Union last year. It's too late. Why don't you come to Moscow during the July Friendship Games."

"It's a great honor. I will definitely visit then." Tang Huan nodded happily and agreed. Finally, with the Soviet Union's warm farewell, he left Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, which had long been polluted by radioactive dust, and returned to the Western world.

The first-hand information he brought back was definitely an exclusive report. It was far more convincing than any satellite photography or Soviet official disclosure, and it immediately satisfied the European people's thirst for knowledge.

Just after laughing at the best communicative diplomat, the best middleman in the world, etc., Tang Huan received a report from his subordinates about why Greenpeace suddenly came to solicit relations.

Greenpeace relies on the use of non-violent direct action to draw public attention to specific environmental issues, and its approach sometimes gives people a radical impression.

In 1975, Greenpeace began to expand its activities to save whales beyond the use of nuclear weapons.Phyllis Cormac, authorized, sailed from Vancouver that spring to meet the Soviet whaling fleet off the coast of California.

Not to mention, Phyllis Cormack was very lucky to block a whaling fleet on the vast sea on June 6, and a thrilling scene happened.

Using fast inflatable boats, the crew put themselves between the harpoon of the fishing boat "Vlastny" and an escaped whale.

Later, a movie script called "Vlastny" was broadcast on TV stations all over the world: a harpoon is thrown over the head of a Greenpeace member.

Ever since, the incident attracted the attention of the global public media, leading to the 1976 meeting of the International Whaling Commission in London, England.

Greenpeace has become even more courageous in its old line of opposing the use of nuclear weapons. Apart from the United States, France has also become their target.

Due to the poor record performance during World War II, it took a lot of thinking for France to restore its international voice after the war, so possessing nuclear weapons has become one of the most effective methods.

It doesn’t matter that there is not enough deep space for nuclear tests in the mainland. During the colonial period, France occupied many islands in various oceans. These overseas territories can come in handy.In the end, Mururoa Atoll in French Polynesia in the South Pacific was chosen.

In 1973, the Greenpeace vessel "Vega" entered the exclusion zone near Mururoa Atoll and was directly rammed by the French Navy.

When "Vega" went to the area to protest again the following year, the crew got beaten up.

As a result, this photo appeared in the newspapers at the same time as the French Navy’s photo of the two parties having dinner and seemingly getting along with each other in the media, which forced the French government to announce the cessation of atmospheric nuclear tests and Greenpeace’s struggle against French nuclear tests won.

However, although France stopped conducting atmospheric nuclear tests, it began to conduct underground nuclear tests again, prompting continued protests from Greenpeace.

In 1979, Greenpeace bought the three-mast diesel-powered trawler at a price of 40000 pounds, refitted it as the Rainbow Warrior, and successfully made its maiden voyage, becoming the flagship of its fleet.

The Rainbow Warrior is equipped with many environmentally friendly technology products, such as a fuel-saving engine system, a solar system that provides hot water to the ship, a thermal energy conversion system that uses engine waste heat, a sewage treatment system, and a desalination system that provides fresh water. It is also equipped with Satellite communication and navigation facilities, activity rooms for publicity and education,
In 1985, last year, the Rainbow Warrior sailed out of the North Pacific Ocean, helping to evacuate residents of Langelap Atoll in the Marshall Islands along the way.The health of these people has been affected by the radiation caused by the nuclear experiments in the United States in the 60s and [-]s.

On July 7, the Rainbow Warrior docked in the Port of Auckland, New Zealand, and was preparing to go to Mururoa Atoll in the South Pacific to protest France's planned nuclear test in the area.

But that night, two bombs on the Rainbow Warrior's hull were detonated, and the ship began to sink. Photographer Fernando Pereira, who returned to the ship to retrieve photographic equipment and other items, was killed.

Now, the situation is serious.New Zealand immediately launched an investigation and found that the incident was related to the French Navy, Army and Air Force Major Alain Mafar and Colonel Dominique Prieux, who were posing as a honeymooning Swiss couple.Police then arrested the pair, but a small country like New Zealand was powerless to block extradition requests from Australia and then from France.

However, under the pressure of the media, the French government initially denied that it was involved in the explosion, and finally admitted it, but the wrangling, including apology, compensation, etc., continues; With the power of public opinion on one side, Tang Huan was circled in.

"Sure enough, the world is dangerous!" Tang Huan shook his head endlessly.

But unexpectedly, there was another incident in Asia, which required his, the world's best middleman, to mediate.
