On the way back from the East China Sea, the two captains were relaxed after autonomous driving. Ito was drinking coffee and Bei Haiyang was just a bottle of water.
"How is Haiyang-kun's house organized? Do you need help? It will be quick to find a few friends and we can do it together!"
Ito knew that Bei Haiyang was busy with his house, so he showed concern; this is rare among islanders, who are more accustomed to finding professional companies to solve such problems, unless they are very good friends;
Colleagues like him and Bei Haiyang, who spend more than ten hours a day working and preparing for the flight, have the kind of relationship that cannot be closer. This is a special place in the aviation industry. If the pilots If you get along well with each other, this experience can last a lifetime.
Bei Haiyang shook his head, "It has been handed over to the professional team! Ito-kun, have you done any housework at home? Are you looking for a drink with a group of friends?"
Ito chuckled, "Never! In our island country, this is all women's business! They don't need to work!
You did the right thing, it’s easier to leave this kind of thing to professionals.”
Bei Haiyang complained, "It's so expensive! You can almost buy that house for the money you spent!"
Ito sympathized, "Ocean-kun, this is the characteristic of an island country! It's actually very cheap to buy a house in the countryside, and young people can't keep it. Most of those old houses will be vacant, and then they'll wait for an earthquake and then tear them down and start over again." , or simply let it disappear..."
The population of the island country has been declining, and the existing population has been concentrating in cities, so for them, houses in the countryside are not regarded as an important property; as Bei Haiyang experienced, the money he spent was actually enough to build a house. A simple small building.
Bei Haiyang suddenly remembered, "Why don't you see Hirata-senpai so often these days? He will definitely come to see his plane in a few days! I called and couldn't figure it out. Is there something going on at home?"
Ito sighed, "There is something wrong with Hirata-senpai's family! It's also a problem with the house."
Bei Haiyang was very curious, "What's the problem? My own house..."
Ito explained, "Senior Hirata's house is close to the Yokota base. For many years, the American army has been trying to expand their base there, but such an attempt has been strongly opposed by local residents.
In island countries, land is privately owned, and the government has no right to force demolition. It requires communication between the two parties, so I say every earthquake is a good opportunity for demolition, because they can make a fuss about the strength of the building!
Either you spend money to rebuild it, or you have to pay the government to demolish it for you. Many people are not willing to spend this money, so..."
This is different from the concept of Hua people. In Hua country, no matter how well or unsatisfactory you are in the city, the house in your hometown is a face that you must maintain, even if no one lives in it!
Because the roots are here and the ancestral graves are here.
This is a kind of culture, and the subtext is that if it becomes developed and famous in the future, at least a plaque can be added here: the former residence of so-and-so.
But if you don’t have this root, would you still hang a plaque outside a certain building in a certain community in a city of reinforced concrete?
"If no one is willing to move, there's nothing the Mi Army can do, right?"
Ito smiled bitterly, "There is really nothing we can do. The island country's laws protect private property! But if you add in the passing of time, how many people can persevere?
Decades ago, the Yokota base wanted to expand, but it was always resisted. Neighbors all united, and the government had nothing to do. Caught between the U.S. military and residents, the only option was to drag it out.
But a few decades later, the most determined old people were almost gone. Young people had long since settled in the city and were unwilling to pay a large expense for a house they had never lived in, so one house after another was bulldozed.
Now the only ones left there are Senior Hirata and his family, who still insist on not leaving; the Mi Army can wait for dozens of families, but it is impossible for them to wait for decades for the only remaining family!
So he started playing tricks, and you know Hirata-senpai’s temper..."
Bei Haiyang sighed, this kind of thing also happens in island countries!
In Huaguo, such news has basically disappeared. The government also takes good care of the people in terms of land use rights. The key is that the use of land is more popular among the people. Schools, enterprises, and even returning houses to farmland make the people feel that they have the right to use the land.
The concessions make sense.
Here in the island country, it is emotionally difficult to accept concessions for other countries' military bases. This is the difference between the two countries, and it is also the sadness of a country that is garrisoned.
These things are hidden in the hearts of every island nation. They dare not express them easily, so they can only protest in this way!
"What kind of tricks are you trying to do? You can't do it forcefully with a gun, right?"
Ito shook his head, "Of course not! According to the agreement, they can't even show up around the house, let alone put pressure directly.
But they can find someone. In the island country, black forces have always existed. Although they are not as rampant as before, handling such civil disputes is their strength!
Hirata-senpai is facing such a group of people now."
Bei Haiyang was speechless. No matter which country you are in, such gangs are a headache. They may not come by force, but they will step on the edge of the law, greatly increasing the inconvenience of your life and constantly harassing you.
The government still let it go despite the pressure from the US military...
Unexpectedly, Lao Pingtian, who usually has a cheerful personality, is actually a senior nail shop?
He didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. His experience in Hua Country was not suitable here, because there was no rice army in Hua Country, and there was no soil for black soldiers to survive. But now that he knew it, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, right? He
Decided to take some time to go over there and see if there's anything I can do to help?
He is a person who pays attention to rewards. Old Hirata played a very important role in his flying career. He worked hard during the half-year study and never hid his personal interests because he was not from the same country. This is a man who regards the aviation industry as no one.
People separated by national boundaries.
He respected Lao Pingtian very much. This was the foundation of human life and had nothing to do with the grudges between the two countries hundreds of years ago.
Moreover, in the development of the world structure, island countries are now also the key areas for Hua to win over. Encouraging island countries to get rid of the control of the United States and eliminate their own hidden dangers in Asia is a general policy and has been done at the national level.
Of course, what this has triggered is that the relationship between the two countries has become closer, and this trend can be felt even among the people.
Bei Haiyang is not crazy enough to want to use such a small incident to put eye drops between the island country and Lao Mi. He just wants to help his master and see if he can disgust anyone?
