Kaoru was worried that if the Japanese were to construct landmarks on the islands, the Qing Empire would become suspicious, which could trigger arguments and conflict. Therefore, the Japanese Government temporarily turned down the…

in the right frame of mind while conducting these dangerous missions and that’s where the family, love and happiness come into play.

When the port is calm, I expect you to maximize your family time because when we are called upon, we must go. “The day after you retire, you are no longer part of the Coast Guard.

the rafts people would stop trying. But since their lives are so bad, they’d do anything to escape their country. I also think that it is unbelievably hard for you to do your job because you have to rescue so many people and there are only 4 to 5 coast guard personnel on the ship.

I think that if I were to do this job it would be emotionally and physically…
