Rebirth without Regrets

Chapter 638: Tough attitude

The news that Feiyuan Company, escorted by four cruisers and four destroyers, armed themselves to destroy Japanese Coast Guard patrol boats and blatantly entered the Senkaku Islands (the Japanese name for the Diaoyu Islands) was reported almost immediately.

When the news reached our country, the whole country was immediately in an uproar.

In order to achieve the strategic goal of occupying the Diaoyu Islands, the r side has taken great pains. It not only provoked conflicts again and again with the instigation and connivance of its master country m, but also established a so-called "three-layer security network" in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands to respond to attempts

Chinese ships approaching the Diaoyu Islands are intercepted. Among them, the waters within 12 nautical miles of the Diaoyu Islands are set as an "absolute prohibited area", and Chinese ships entering the waters will be expelled "at all costs", including ramming, high-pressure water cannon spraying, etc., to strengthen

In order to gain control of the Diaoyu Islands, it is hoped that R's ownership of the Diaoyu Islands will gradually be internationally accepted and recognized. It has also been planning to expand the scale of the Self-Defense Forces in order to increase troops to the southwest islands and strengthen the military occupation and control of the Diaoyu Islands.

control.

But just when they were trying to transform the control of the Diaoyu Islands from coast guard control to garrison occupation at all costs through various means and to permanently seize the Diaoyu Islands, Feiyuan Company broke out halfway and directly moved in with armed forces.

The Diaoyu Islands, this undoubtedly brought all the years of planning and hard work of the r side's governments to naught.

When they first heard that Feiyuan Company purchased decommissioned warships from China, Country M and Russia, and formed a escort fleet to protect the company's cargo ships, many people did not think so much about it. After all, Feiyuan's cargo ships are all over the world, and at sea

Pirates are rampant in certain sea areas, killing people and stealing goods. Even Feiyuan's cargo ships have not been spared. It is understandable to take such measures. But at this time, such a escort fleet has become Feiyuan's most powerful force to seize the Diaoyu Islands.

Only then did Weapon.r suddenly realize that he regretted that he should have done everything possible to hinder Feiyuan Company's plan in the first place.

Of course, Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force has developed extremely rapidly from leasing naval equipment from country m to developing its own equipment. At present, the quality of equipment has ranked first in the world, equipped with 16 submarines, 44 destroyers, 9 frigates, and more than 200 combat aircraft.

, has long become the most powerful maritime force in Asian waters except for the navy of country m. Not to mention the escort fleet of Feiyuan Company, which is formed solely by relying on retired warships from various countries. Even the Chinese navy only has ships compared with it.

They are numerically superior, but their overall combat capabilities are slightly inferior. It can be said that if a war really breaks out, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force believes that it will be able to completely annihilate the flying escort fleet in a very short period of time.

Retake the Senkaku Islands.

However, Feiyuan Company's outstanding position in the world has given the Japanese government a huge headache.

In the absence of further information, the R side on the one hand mobilized the "Nineteen" fleet consisting of 10 destroyers and 9 carrier-based helicopters to approach the waters of the Diaoyu Islands to maintain armed deterrence against Feiyuan Company. On the other hand, the r side urgently summoned senior officials from all parties

An emergency meeting was convened to discuss what measures and actions should be taken against Feiyuan Company's "illegal" behavior.

At the beginning of the meeting, the top brass of the National Self-Defense Forces insisted that Feiyuan Company's move had greatly harmed the interests of r side and was "a naked armed invasion of r's inherent territory." According to the provisions of r's "Peace Constitution", the National Self-Defense Forces

The Guard should immediately send troops to safeguard national territorial security, arrest relevant personnel, and order Feiyuan Company to take responsibility for this incident and compensate Party r for all losses.

However, the cabinet raised its own concerns, because Feiyuan Company has a great influence in r's economy and politics. Once it takes drastic actions, the relationship between r and Feiyuan will definitely deteriorate immediately, thus affecting r's society.

Caused great turmoil. The domestic economic and political crisis caused by Feiyuan's purchase of the four northern islands from Ross ten years ago is a lesson learned from the past. What's more, why Feiyuan Company wants to expel R's patrols with force at present?

The reason why the boats were stationed in the Senkaku Islands is not clear. Therefore, it is recommended to have dialogue and contact with Feiyuan Company first, and then make a decision after understanding the various situations, so as to avoid repeating the mistakes of the then government.

It stands to reason that the cabinet's consideration is relatively thorough. After all, Feiyuan is different from ordinary companies. Any move can have a major impact on the country and even the world. They are not willing to do so unless it is a last resort.

He and Fei Yuan broke out and had a tit-for-tat confrontation.

However, the attitude of the National Self-Defense Forces was extremely tough, believing that it was the "weakness" of the cabinet that led to Feiyuan Company's extravagance. The head of the Defense Agency even stood up and shouted: "Ten years ago, it was precisely because of the government's compromise that

The country has suffered huge losses, which has brought shame to the whole nation. If we don't take action, what we lost ten years ago were the four northern islands, and now the Diaoyu Islands. What will happen ten years from now? Will even our Honshu and Kyushu Islands be lost?

Was it taken away by Fei Yuan?"

The cabinet's rebuttal was equally harsh and swift: "The annual defense budget of the Self-Defense Forces ranks among the top in the world. You must know that at least one-fifth of these expenses is contributed by Feiyuan Company. If it were not done,

Sending troops indiscriminately when the situation is clear will not only not help, but will make the situation worse and out of control. When Japan's economy is at a loss, what else will be used to pay for the Self-Defense Forces? What else will be used for defense?

Is the territorial security of our great empire?”

The two sides argued fiercely, with no one willing to give in. Prime Minister Koizumi also felt in a dilemma.

In fact, to be fair, Koizumi still prefers the cabinet's opinion. After all, the matter is very important and involves Feiyuan, so he can't help but think carefully.

At this moment, shocking news came again: the Chinese government, together with the spokesman of Feiyuan Company, held a global press conference in the Chinese capital, announcing that the Chinese government had reached a cooperation agreement with Feiyuan Company to bring China

The Diaoyu Islands and surrounding waters are fully entrusted to Feiyuan Company to cooperate in the development of fishery, petroleum and mineral resources and other resources. The cooperation period is thirty years. The fishery and petroleum mineral resources exploited by Feiyuan Company during the period shall be shared by the Chinese government and Feiyuan Company.

Each will receive 50%. After thirty years, all equipment and resources will be owned by the Chinese government.

What is even more confusing is that the Taiwan authorities, which are closest to the Diaoyu Islands and have always claimed the Diaoyu Islands as theirs, have remained silent on the matter and have not raised any objections or objections. This makes people doubt whether China and the Taiwan authorities

Have we already reached an agreement on this issue?

For a time, the whole world was in an uproar, and countless eyes were focused on this sea area that had been causing a stir some time ago at almost the same moment.

The Diaoyu Islands and its surrounding waters not only contain a large amount of oil resources, but also have huge economic value in other aspects. The Pacific Black Current flows here, bringing a large number of fish, and the islands are also rich in a variety of precious medicinal materials.

If it were just another small island, this news would be nothing at all. No matter how generous Feiyuan Company is, it is just an ordinary commercial operation, far from being able to attract global attention. But the Diaoyu Islands have always been China's

Where there are sovereignty disputes between the two sides, it was even a trigger for the deterioration of Sino-R relations. Feiyuan Company's cooperation with China this time, in the eyes of many international observers and media, is undoubtedly dancing on the edge of a knife.

No one knows why Feiyuan Company insists on trying to wade through this muddy water. Even if the conditions provided by the Chinese government are superior and there are many places where Feiyuan Company can make money, there is no need to settle with r

Isn’t it even possible for country M behind the scenes to get through?

Many people couldn't help but think of the incident ten years ago when Feiyuan did not hesitate to offend the Japanese authorities and insisted on buying the four northern islands from Ross. If the south and north were both controlled by Feiyuan,

From a strategic point of view, a very strange noose has been formed, completely enclosing the island of r, and tightly trapping it. Without breaking this deadlock, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for r to seek space for external development.

.

Is this intentional or accidental? No one can tell! However, China’s move has undoubtedly declared to the world that China has begun to exercise sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. This earth-shaking change has made Chinese people around the world

Overjoyed, people from all over the country spontaneously held celebrations. For a time, the entire Chinese area was immersed in joy.

Of course, many experts and scholars raised their concerns about this at the time. After all, in the context of peace and development, this move by China and Feiyuan Company will definitely worsen the already tense Sino-r relations.

It is not conducive to Sino-r exchanges and social and economic development, and may even drag China into the quagmire of war. This is not a wise behavior, and calls on China to stop this dangerous behavior and return to the original starting point and start from development.

r relationship, leaving the Diaoyu Islands issue to be resolved later. However, these remarks seemed so insignificant amidst the overwhelming praise and excitement. They were either criticized as "capitulationists" by the angry youth, or they were quickly dismissed by everyone's excitement.

submerged.

At the same time, Japan suddenly fell into chaos. People in Japan who are used to protests from the Chinese government cannot believe that the Chinese government would do something so tough and harmful to Japan's national interests. All along,

Doesn’t the Chinese government always claim that it is based on the development of China-r relations and will leave the Senkaku Islands issue to be resolved later and will not take unilateral actions? How come it suddenly handed over the Senkaku Islands to Feiyuan Company for development without authorization?

For a while, the Japanese people felt that they had been deceived, but they had completely forgotten that it was the r side that had been constantly stirring up trouble on the Diaoyu Islands issue, and people suddenly became indignant. Before the government made an official decision, the people

Emotions were growing day by day, and hundreds of Japanese people held a small protest outside the Chinese Embassy in r that day.

At the same time, Japanese right-wingers took this as an opportunity to launch anti-China activities in the country. Many Chinese shops in r were looted and damaged, Chinese schools were stoned, websites were attacked by Japanese hackers, and they were also openly in China.

The Chinese flag was burned outside the embassy in r. In some areas, the personal safety of Chinese people in r was threatened. There were individual attacks and kidnappings, and normal life was greatly disrupted and threatened.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy in r have activated emergency mechanisms and reminded Chinese citizens to pay attention to the safety conditions around them overseas, increase their awareness of prevention, and ensure safety.

After emergency consultations, the Japanese Prime Minister and Cabinet first temporarily persuaded the Chief of the Defense Agency not to act rashly for the time being. They then took action to calm the emotions of the domestic people and prevent the situation from getting serious and expanding, and being used by the opposition parties. At the same time, they also asked the Chinese government

A note was issued to seriously protest against China's unilateral and unauthorized transfer of the disputed Senkaku Islands to Feiyuan Company for development, and to demand that China immediately stop this illegal behavior, otherwise China will be responsible for all consequences arising therefrom.

The tone was extremely harsh.

The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately responded that the Diaoyu Islands have been China's territory since ancient times. They are an integral part of China's territory like the T Bay. China has indisputable sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and their adjacent waters. Regarding the Diaoyu Islands,

Any measures taken are China's internal affairs and do not require the consent of r. Party r has made serious protests against what r has always considered to be "illegal" actions in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands, claiming that China will defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs.

I hope the R side can rein in the situation and stop being stubborn and causing bigger troubles.

China's uncharacteristically tough attitude immediately angered the r side. Japan immediately announced an indefinite suspension of bilateral cooperation talks and economic exchanges between China and r, and suspended any official form of cooperation and exchanges. Depending on the situation, it reserves the right to summon envoys to China at any time and close

The power of the embassy. At the same time, Japan r is also actively contacting and negotiating with Feiyuan Company, hoping that Feiyuan Company can stop its "illegal" cooperation with China, and r side is also willing to conduct extensive and in-depth cooperation with Feiyuan Company on this.

, the conditions provided by the r side will never be inferior to those of the Chinese side. In other words, it is a reassurance for Feiyuan that it will not harm Feiyuan Company's interests in this regard in any case.

The intention of r is very obvious. It hopes to break the "alliance" between China and Feiyuan Company in this way, and hopes to get the support of Feiyuan Company on the Senkaku Islands issue, so as to achieve "subjugation without fighting".

The purpose of "soldiers".

However, both China and Feiyuan Company resolutely rejected Party R's request. China claimed that it would never compromise on territorial issues. Feiyuan Company made it clear that Feiyuan Company has always recognized that the Diaoyu Islands are Chinese territory.

and supports China's exercise of sovereignty. Moreover, Feiyuan Company's normal business activities are not subject to interference by the r side. At the same time, Feiyuan Company also lodged a serious protest with the r side, claiming that more than ten warships of the r side were operating in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands.

Military aircraft frequently fly in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands, which has seriously affected the normal operations of Feiyuan Company. If it does not stop immediately, Feiyuan Company will retain all necessary means, including force, to maintain its normal production order.

The Chinese government and Feiyuan Company responded righteously, which undoubtedly gave r a resounding slap in the face. Sino-r relations have also dropped to the freezing point since the two countries formally established diplomatic relations in 1978.
