Just as the handover of the Vladivostok was being carried out, Tomoe Ito summoned Chiba Taro Inoue Haruto Kato Fumio and others in the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard staff dormitory to discuss the schedule for returning to Japan.
After Japan's defeat, all naval factories in the country were dismantled. Many skilled workers and technicians went to various shipyards in Lanfang in order to make a living. This number exceeded 50,000, of which more than 20,000 were at the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard alone.
A lot of Japanese people work here.
The Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard treats these workers very well. These workers have dormitories for four people. The dormitories are equipped with toilets and shower facilities. At the same time, in terms of living conditions, the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard treats the Japanese and the people of Lanfang. There is no obvious difference.
The difference is, what Lanfang workers eat is what Japanese workers also eat. What kind of benefits do Lanfang workers have, and what kind of benefits do Japanese workers also have.
The only difference is the salary. A Lanfang worker's monthly salary is about 100 Lanfang Yuan. Relatively speaking, the salary of a Japanese worker is much worse. The average Japanese worker only has about 30 Lanfang Yuan, unless he joins Lanfang.
Fang’s nationality, otherwise this point will not fundamentally change.
Of course, 30 Lanfangyuan is for ordinary workers. For senior talents like Ito Tomoe, the treatment is obviously better. For example, Ito Tomoe's salary is about 200 Lanfangyuan. At the same time, Ito Tomoe lives in
The room is also a suite. In addition to a separate bedroom, there is also a small living room that can be used to entertain guests. Therefore, this living room has become a place where Ito Tomoe, Chiba Taro Inoue Haruto Kato Fumio and others often discuss matters.
If nothing else happens, this will be the last time Ito Tomoe and the others hold a meeting in this room.
With the handover of the Vladivostok, Ito Tomoe seemed to have been drained of all his energy. Although it was only less than two months, compared with when he first arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, Ito Tomoe's hair was already gray and his eye sockets were white.
He also became more sunken, and the degree of myopia was changed to a higher one. Even when he was sitting on the tatami, Ito Tomoji felt a little lack of energy. There were various signs that aging had inevitably come to this body.
Completing the Nagato has been Ito Tomoji's long-cherished wish. Even though Nagato has become Vladivostok, Ito Tomoji still hopes to complete it with his own hands.
From this perspective, Tomoji Ito can be regarded as seeking kindness and receiving kindness, and died without regrets.
The original meeting time was nine o'clock in the morning. Just after eight o'clock, Chiba Taro, Inoue Haru and Kato Fumio arrived at Tomoji Ito's residence one after another.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ito Tomoji did not wait any longer and started immediately: Now that Nagato has been completed, there is no reason for us to stay in Cam Ranh Bay, so we are gathering everyone today to discuss when we will return to Japan.
.
Tomoe Ito got straight to the point and didn't hide anything.
In fact, if we follow the traditional habits of the Japanese, there is no need for Tomoji Ito to have such a discussion. The concept of superiority and inferiority in Japanese companies is even more serious. What the superior has in mind can be decided in one word without consulting subordinates at all.
Views.
But in Lanfang, it is obvious that brainstorming is more important. During the Vladivostok modification process, no matter what problems they encountered, factory director Huang Yinrong and chief engineer Zhang Youhe were always accustomed to convening all technical staff for symposiums
, brainstorming to solve problems, anyone can speak freely without worrying about being suppressed by the boss because of different opinions.
Living in Lanfang, Tomoe Ito will inevitably be influenced by the thoughts of Lanfang people, so Tomoe Ito is now gradually getting used to brainstorming ideas.
After Ito Tomoji finished speaking, Chiba Taro immediately answered: I suggest that we leave tomorrow. Staying here will make my breathing difficult. I would rather return to Yokohama to farm than look at the faces of Lanfang people here.
.
Taro Chiba is a serious supporter of Tomoe Ito. This person has always had no independent opinions. Chiba Taro will agree with whatever Chiji says, just like Tomoe Ito's most loyal hunting dog.
But at the same time, Inoue Haru and Kato Fumio looked at each other with embarrassment.
If you think about it, you can understand that Ito Tomoji, a little old man who is mostly buried in the ground, can of course leave at will. Anyway, this old guy will not live for a few days, so it is natural for the fallen leaves to return to their roots.
But at the same time, Inoue Haru and Kato Fumio are both in their prime. At this age, there are seniors and juniors. It can be said that Inoue Haru and Kato Fumio's families have to rely on their hard work to survive.
How can you just leave as soon as you say so?
Chiba Taro is different. Although Chiba Taro is over 40 years old, he is not married yet and naturally has no children. Such a person can only feed one person and the whole family is not hungry. His opinions are not representative.
Why, do you have any opinions? Ito Tomoji noticed Inoue Haruto and Kato Fumio's hesitation.
I have no objection. Inoue Haruto hesitated for a moment, then knelt down on the futon and bowed down.
I have some objections. Please forgive me, Ito-kun, Chiba-kun and Inoue-kun. My wife has just given birth to a pair of twins for me. Now the children are in need of nutrition. I still have parents on both sides to support. If I leave here, I don’t know how I will survive.
Can I get a job? So, I'm sorry. Fumio Kato apologized repeatedly.
In fact, the more professional the so-called professional talents are, the narrower their employment opportunities will be.
For example, people like Kato Fumio. Kato Fumio's grandfather was a shipbuilder, and Kato Fumio's father was also a shipbuilder. Kato Fumio himself has been working in the shipyard since he was ten years old, from apprentice to construction director. This process takes a long time.
After 30 years, although Kato Fumio can now be called an expert in shipbuilding, Kato Fumio knows nothing but shipbuilding. If he returns to Japan, where there are no shipyards at all, how will Kato Fumio make a living?
Hmm, how many people are there who think the same way as you? Tomoji Ito’s question seemed a bit out of line.
There are many, as far as I know, about seven to eighty people think so. Chiba Taro's face was gloomy.
There must be many people who have the same idea as Kato Fumio. You must know that when you came to Lanfang from Japan, you had already gone through a screening. Many Japanese who hated Lanfang and were hostile to Lanfang were here.
They were already excluded at that time, and they never got the chance to come to Cam Ranh Bay.
Among the people who came to Cam Ranh Bay, many of them were friendly or at least not hostile towards Lan Fang. In addition, after coming to Cam Ranh Bay, these Japanese people felt Lan Fang's wealth and goodwill.
, many Japanese people have unknowingly changed their attitudes.
Compared with Lanfang, Japan before the war was indeed strong, but this strength was only in appearance. The people's livelihood conditions in Japan were not very good, and the people's living standards did not improve much, and they could even be reduced by hardship.
describe.
For example, daily meals are supplied. In Lanfang, there are enough tubes of rice, tubes of various fish soups, and tubes of various fruits. Just these three tubes are enough, and not even one in Japan can do it. In Japan's largest Kure Navy Factory, ordinary workers can provide enough food every day.
The lunch was just two rice balls.
Well, two rice balls are probably as much as half a bowl of rice.
So, as for things in this world, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. Comparison will only cause harm.
So when workers from Japan compared Japan and Lanfang, Japan became the victim.
Don’t think that people’s patriotism at this time was so high. It’s all nonsense. In the original history, the Germans had just signed the armistice contract, and many German soldiers immediately turned into soldiers of the French Foreign Legion. This
This kind of thing is not unusual at all.
So you don't plan to return to Japan? Tomoji Ito looked gloomy.
Please forgive me, but I really can’t leave now. There are no shipyards in Japan anymore, and we can’t even manufacture a sampan. So what can those of us who only know how to build ships do when we go back? It’s not that I don’t want to return to Japan, but I want to
After a while, when my children have grown up, I will definitely return to Japan. At that time, I will apologize in front of the Yasukuni Shrine. What Fumio Kato said was extremely sad.
Alas, why are you apologizing? There is no Yasukuni Shrine anymore. After Ito Tomoji finished speaking, he waved his hand boredly, as if asking Kato Fumio to leave on his own.
Different ways do not work together. Since Kato Fumio does not want to leave, it makes no sense for Kato Fumio to continue to stay here.
Please forgive me. Even if there is no Yasukuni Shrine, I will apologize in other ways. Kato Fumio hunched his body and backed away while apologizing.
Before he could retreat to the door, Kato Fumio suddenly felt a sharp pain on his forehead, and blood immediately flowed from his forehead. Through the red blood, Kato Fumio vaguely saw Chiba Taro's grinning face.
Since you want to apologize, you don't have to wait until the future, just apologize now. Chiba Taro sneered, threw away the stick in his hand, rushed forward and pinched Kato Fumio's neck with both hands.
No, I can't die. I still have children to raise. Save me. Fumio Kato struggled hard, trying to break free from Taro Chiba's control. He looked at Haruto Inoue with pleading eyes.
This, this, why is this necessary? Inoue Haruto was stunned by the changes in front of him.
Inoue Haruto noticed Kato Fumio's look for help. For a moment, Inoue Haruto really wanted to help Kato Fumio, but when Inoue Haruto looked up, he saw Ito Tomoji's twisted face.
Help me. Kato Fumio is still asking for help and struggling hard, but the cry for help is getting weaker and weaker, and the extent of the struggle is getting smaller and smaller.
In a trance, Kato Fumio felt that he had returned to his hometown in Kanagawa. His wife was holding her two children at the door and smiling softly at Kato Fumio.
