Chapter 61 Official Statement
The ship does not dock;
No one leaves the ship.
It seems that the Japanese cabinet government does not plan to allow tourists to land for the time being!
Right.
After all, the Platinum Star cruise ship is not a Japanese ship. From the perspective of international law, Japan itself has no obligation to handle and control infectious disease incidents. The country that should bear the obligation is the country of the ship's flag: the United Kingdom;
Moreover, half of the tourists in the cabin are non-Japanese. From a practical point of view, if the tourists are rashly allowed to disembark and the virus leaks to the mainland, the cabinet government will probably kill its own citizens.
In the last round, Mio Ito took advantage of this to create public opinion and cause panic, forcing the South Korean government not to allow cruise ships to enter the port.
But on a cruise ship, tourists also experience fear when faced with viruses, chemical defense soldiers, and gunpoints.
Several foreign tourists finally couldn't hold themselves back and argued and wanted to get off the boat, but the chemical defense soldiers stopped them directly. After several warnings failed, they took strong measures.
The tall soldier held a loudspeaker and reassured everyone.
It said that no one is allowed to get off the ship until the matter is investigated clearly.
After the cruise ship was taken over by chemical defense forces.
Gu Ji recounted the infection situation to the tall soldier and gave corresponding prevention and control instructions.
The execution ability of the military is worthy of being the strongest. It only took ten minutes for them to send all the tourists back to their guest rooms to undergo medical screening.
Seeing this scene, Gu Ji could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
With the government and military stepping in to help, the spread of the infectious disease can be controlled quickly.
Such a generous move by the cabinet government also alarmed the Japanese people on land.
News media who smelled the "smell" swarmed in and surrounded the scene outside the isolation banner. Through the photos and videos sent by tourists on the cruise ship, the news that "Platinum Star Cruise Ship was attacked by a terrorist virus", It quickly occupied the top list of Japanese Internet searches.
Journalists also conducted online live broadcasts at the scene, each one passionately explaining and analyzing the crisis. Among them, NHK, the largest public media in Japan, had the most viewers.
This media is indeed very capable. Not only did it obtain photos of the chemical defense forces blocking the cruise ship, it even obtained videos of Gu Ji subduing Mio Ito and commanding prevention and control.
【Oh My God! It seems to be very serious inside the cruise ship! 】
[My friend said that the virus has spread inside, and it seems that many people have died! 】
【Severely punish the attackers! 】
[The woman who organized the prevention and control team was so sassy, but why did she speak English? 】
[I really hope the government won’t let these tourists disembark, I don’t want to be infected by the virus! 】
…
Gu Ji was also browsing public opinion reviews.
Sure enough, some people refused to let tourists disembark because they were worried that the virus would spread to land. Many Yokohama locals were even prepared to jointly petition the cabinet government.
Of course, there are also many relatives of tourists who are eager for the government to send them to hospitals for isolation and treatment. After all, the risk of infection if they continue to stay on the cruise ship is too high.
For a time, the two groups quarreled endlessly.
At this moment, black Toyota Alphard cars entered the port from a distance. As media reporters took photos, many senior government officials in suits gradually got out of the cars.
Reporters immediately surrounded the leader, a middle-aged official with gray hair and tortoiseshell glasses, and kept asking questions.
The middle-aged official first bowed his head and apologized, then spoke in a deep voice: "As circulated in the media, the Platinum Star cruise ship encountered a bioterrorist attack at 9 a.m., and the anti-terrorism intelligence department received interception information from Unit 7472 in advance. Now, The two main culprits have been successfully arrested and most of the virus test tubes have been recovered, but a small amount of virus is still leaking."
"But please don't worry. Members of Unit 7472 quickly launched Level I response prevention and control when the attack occurred to prevent the further spread of the virus. According to the investigation by the Metropolitan Police Headquarters, the virus was originated from microbiological research at Hokkaido University..."
Gu Ji listened to this extremely familiar voice. It was none other than the Japanese Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare: Tamura Katsunobu!
The cruise ship virus incident caused a huge stir in public opinion. The Japanese cabinet government must publicly give an explanation to the people to appease people's hearts. The unavoidable key to this incident is the intelligence provided by Gu Ji!
As a result, the codename 7472 was brought into public view.
The NHK reporter immediately caught the topic: "Minister Tamura, is the code-name 7472 a self-built intelligence unit within Japan? What department does it belong to?"
"Minister of Health and Welfare, can you tell us more about Unit 7472?"
…
Not only the media reporters, but also the RB netizens in the live broadcast room also started to discuss it, and the barrage scrolled like crazy:
[Codenamed Troop 7472 is so awesome! He was one step ahead of the counter-terrorism intelligence team! 】
[It sounds very mysterious! 】
[Hahaha, the country is strong again! 】
[Are we wasting people’s taxes too much by setting up so many intelligence agencies? 】
[As long as the people feel safe, it is a good department! 】
…
Facing the reporters’ questioning, Tamura Katsunobu pursed his lips:
"Codename: Unit 7472 does not belong to Japan. They are a force specializing in crisis management, anti-terrorism, stability maintenance and special tasks. They participated in the resolution of the airport attack that occurred in Ethiopia half a month ago. We are currently in a We are in a good state of cooperation, so we hope the public can give us enough trust!”
Japanese netizens who were originally excited were instantly disappointed after hearing Tamura Katsunobu's statement.
However, many people are still attracted by this mysterious force. After all, the Ryde Airport attack was a hot news topic in the first half of the month and caused an international sensation. Unexpectedly, it was this force that solved it!
After Gu Ji watched Tamura Katsunobu's interview, he had to admire the secretary and publicist behind him.
In just a few words, he was tied to the Japanese cabinet government. Those who didn't know it thought they were such good "brothers."
But this official press statement helped him completely confirm his identity as "code name 7472".
If you need help with your identity in the future, at least you won’t have to make it up randomly.
With the identity of "Code No. 7472", the eyes of the chemical defense force, medical office, police and others looked at Gu Ji again. It was obviously different from before, and it was much easier to command.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the first batch of close contacts was quickly screened, totaling 23 people, and the next 69 people were placed in cleaned guest rooms in batches according to the requirements of the caretakers and underwent centralized medical isolation observation.
"The incubation period of this virus is 1 to 3 days. Focus on Nakamura Hiro. He is the only patient who swallowed the virus and came into direct contact with it."
Just as Gu Ji was explaining the details to Dr. Matsushima and the chemical defense force, Takeshi Watanabe called again.
This time, even the tone was much more polite: "I know that your unit 7472 cooperates with the US FBI to exchange intelligence. What do you want us to provide this time?"
Gu Ji slightly squinted his eyes:
"It's very simple. I just want all the background checks on Mio Ito, Ichinose Ishiguro, and cruise manager Morita!"
