Chapter 810 Ryukyu's Tragedy

After a short meal and rest, the motorcade set off from the annex again to the Ryukyu Governor's Office.

Along the way, such a majestic motorcade attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Naturally, no one in the area knew about Master Zhou's visit to Ryukyu, and many people stopped to look around.

The governor's office is not big, and even with the souvenir shop that was requisitioned later, it feels extremely cramped. The convoy could not stop completely, and it lined up all the way down the road, almost into the alley.

Coupled with the escort team of nearly a hundred people, we headed to that stop after getting off the bus.

It seemed like they were here to inspect investments. It felt like the governor's office was being surrounded.

It seems that the next moment someone will take out a loudspeaker and shout: "Stop it, Governor!"

Naturally, the governor's office also lined up. Almost the entire Ryukyu team, from the small leader to the guard, were waiting in line at the door. It was like a red carpet of human flesh.

Weng Changzhixiong led him all the way up, and in the conference room on the third floor, everyone took their seats.

The "Investment Committee" is in one row, and the Ryukyu team is in another row.

Speaker: Shang Zhi.

As time went by, the organization gradually discovered that the real core figure of Ryukyu's grassroots team was actually this young man who was not yet 30 years old.

Ong Nagashio is not a straw bag, but at best he is a meat bag.

It is foreseeable that this person will play a decisive role in how Ryukyu will develop after the Onagashio era ends.

Shangzhi's Chinese is extremely good, without any accent or grammar problems.

"Dear guests, welcome to Ryukyu. I am the deputy director of the Ryukyu Reconstruction Countermeasures Headquarters and the secretary-general of the Ryukyu Investment Committee. Allow me to introduce the situation of Ryukyu to you."

On the PPT, we first introduced the historical origins of Ryukyu. Although everyone here basically understands it, this is the first time for me to hear a systematic explanation.

"The name Ryukyu originated from the Sui Dynasty general Zhu Kuan. When he was ordered to explore overseas customs, he named the island chain 'Liuqiu' because the island chain looked like a dragon floating on the water. In the later Tang Dynasty, because of the avoidance of the taboo 'Qiu is a dragon', It was renamed 'Liuqiu' and officially became a vassal state during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Because the islands were dotted like pearls, it was renamed 'Ryukyu' again."

Shang Zhi was doing what he wanted. He talked about his origins first so that the inspection team could feel closer.

"Most of the local races in Ryukyu were formed by the gradual migration of Fujian and Fuhai people. They have learned Chinese characters, worn Hanfu, and followed Confucianism for hundreds of years. However, due to the remote geographical location, the language system gradually deviated and became similar to a dialect, which was later called Ryukyu. It’s a native language, but successive Ryukyu kings have requested the Chinese emperor for canonization, and this has never stopped.”

This was said by a descendant of the Ryukyu royal family himself, so it was a bit hard to understand, but Shang Zhi's expression remained normal.

"During the Japanese occupation, the invaders implemented high-pressure rule on Ryukyu and abolished Chinese characters, Hanfu, and dialects. The local residents have never stopped resisting for a hundred years. At the end of World War II, it became a bloody battlefield between Japan and the United States."

"At that time, the Japanese had been essentially defeated, but in order to prevent the rapid occupation of the U.S. bacteria, they issued the 'Yu Sui Order'. First, they forced the unarmed Ryukyu people to serve as cannon fodder, and then directly ordered the soldiers to kill all the Ryukyu people, creating the 'Ryukyu Great War' *Killing', there were originally 470,000 indigenous people, but after the war only 110,000 were left, with about 360,000 victims. "

Hearing this, all the guests from China widened their eyes.

Yes, such a tragic history, but few people know it

Compared with China, which has already risen, what is even more sad for the Ryukyu people is that even after experiencing such a tragedy, no one speaks out internationally, and they don't even dare to pay tribute.

Wang Tao felt like his fists were hardened, damn these guys are beasts!

When will the third season of S3 start? I can't fucking wait!

Khalid was shocked. How many evils had Japan done in East Asia?

This may be the reason why Ryukyu has never truly recognized its Japanese identity for decades after the war.

Going back three generations, they are basically victims.

Even the hatred of Japan among the older generation can be said to be gnashing their teeth.

Unfortunately, as time goes by, young people are attracted by prosperity and culture. If it hadn't been for accidents like the tsunami, it wouldn't take much more than that. Basically, it would be completely changed in another generation.

But even if the younger generation of Ryukyuans themselves do not hold grudges, the island does remember their sins. This is why they never expect Ryukyus to be integrated into Japan and watch with a cold eye after the disaster.

Zhou Rui sighed. This was the first time he had heard of this.

Regardless of Shang Chi’s purpose, this opening is definitely impressive.

After talking about the origin and historical origins of Ryukyu, Shang Chi began to explain the current situation of Ryukyu.

Since it is a "reconstruction investment", it must have investment attributes. You cannot lie down on the ground and ask for money.

If you want to persuade the committee to increase investment and get more involved in the reconstruction of Ryukyu, you must come up with something persuasive and let everyone know that the future of Ryukyu is worth investing in and can pay off, rather than being a stinky beggar. of.

Shang Zhi’s next explanation can be seen to be carefully prepared, with data, investigation, and planning.

For example, if Ryukyu recovers, the prospect of tourism will be very good.

Once the reconstruction is successful, it will be a Z-region and directly exempt from visas to China. It will definitely be a tourist destination.

And after all, this place has been under Japanese rule for many years, and Chinese people who like Japanese culture are the target customers.

Marine fishery resources are also very rich. In the past, these resources were absorbed by the island. After all, they have few people and cannot build modern fisheries, but they have bright prospects in the future.

In addition, there are submarine resources. To be honest, Shang Zhi is not sure about oil, gas, and minerals. The main island may have explored them before, but they obviously will not inform them.

But to be honest, there must be something in such a large sea area.

The agricultural output on the island is also somewhat special, let's call it a local specialty.

There is also the "rocket launch base" that is most likely to be finalized on the spot during this trip. This thing can feed tens of thousands of people in Ryukyu. Shang Zhi introduced some available addresses in detail, and seemed to have checked the information. The introduction said that it has advantages such as saving fuel and convenient transportation.

After the explanation, Shang Zhi directly pulled out a map.

Looking at the content on the map, Zhou Rui and Lin Tuo looked at each other.

This man has something.

On the map, there is a very obvious line, starting directly from Huanghai, all the way down to include Ryukyu, the Strait, and part of the Western Pacific Ocean.

The division of this line is almost consistent with the expectation of "million square kilometers of sea power" that Zhou Rui learned about.

It feels like Shang Zhi is hinting at something.

Shang Zhi held his breath and said loudly with a firm look:

"Everyone, Ryukyu has a small land area and a small population, and weak industries, but it has an excellent geographical location and unlimited possibilities."

"This is a difficult period, but Ryukyu has been determined to overcome hardships for hundreds of years."

"With the most sincere intention, we invite you to join the opportunity to rebuild Ryukyu and jointly develop this beautiful island and this vast ocean."

The whole speech was in Chinese, and I don't know how much these local teams can understand. Anyway, after Shang Zhi finished speaking, Ong Chang Zhixiong excitedly led the applause.

The members of the inspection team also applauded.

Xinyuan Yui, who had been sitting quietly at the end, didn't know if she was moved, and shouted a Chinese sentence "Come on!" in a strange accent.

She also made a cheering gesture, which made Zhou Rui think that he was in a TV series
