On the judgment seat.
Chief Arbitrator Tom Jeray spoke.
"Since both of you have no objections to Xia Guo's temporary deployment of additional personnel, today's arbitration will continue."
"Next, please ask Representative Xia Guo to express his arbitration opinion."
At the Xia State Banquet.
Lin Hao stood up slowly and said confidently.
"During the arbitration in the past two days, representatives of the Sakura Country made some claims in an attempt to prove Sakura Country's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. Now I will refute them one by one!"
Sakura on the throne.
Kameda Jiro and Okamoto Taro looked disdainful.
"A young kid dares to refute our claims one by one? How naive!"
"In my opinion, he is just bluffing!"
Lin Hao ignored the shouts of the two and continued.
"As far as I know, your country claims that the Diaoyu Islands are so-called "terra nullius"? "
Kameda Jiro said immediately.
"That's right! There are no traces of human habitation on Diaoyu Island. It is an ownerless desert island!"
Lin Hao smiled slightly and said.
“It’s true that Diaoyu Island is a desert island, but a desert island doesn’t necessarily mean it has no owner!”
"Your Sakura Country has tens of thousands of islands. Could it be that there are people settling on every island?"
Kameda Jiro said disdainfully.
"Although no one has settled on some islands in our country, we will regularly send people to patrol the islands."
"Moreover, we have included them all in our country's coastal defense territory and implemented effective jurisdiction over them!"
Lin Hao smiled.
"Then what if there are people in our country who have briefly stayed and lived on the Diaoyu Islands, and have also implemented effective jurisdiction over them?"
Kameda Jiro curled his lips and said.
"How is that possible! Do you have any evidence?"
Lin Hao took out a stack of information and said.
"Of course we have evidence!"
"These are some ancient books from our country. They clearly record that as long as five hundred years ago, Diaoyu Island was the territory of our Xia Kingdom!"
"For example, here is a record of our country's envoy's mission to Ryukyu. It clearly shows that our country's envoy passed through Diaoyu Island and other islands before arriving at Gumi Mountain, which belongs to Ryukyu!"
"In other words, the territory up to Gumi Mountain belongs to the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Diaoyu Islands and other islands passing by on the way still belong to the Xia Kingdom's territory!"
"For another example, this coastal defense map compiled by Xia Kingdom five hundred years ago clearly records that Diaoyu Island and other East China Sea islands were within Xia Kingdom's coastal defense territory at that time!"
"There are also these few ancient books left by the Xia Kingdom, all of which include Diaoyu Island in the Xia Kingdom's territory!"
"This is enough to show that Diaoyu Island has been the territory of Xia Kingdom since ancient times! It has nothing to do with your Sakura Kingdom!"
Taro Okamoto's face looked a little ugly and he said eagerly.
"You are talking nonsense! The Diaoyu Islands are unclaimed land! They are not the territory of your Xia Kingdom at all!"
“It was our Sakura Country that was the first to occupy the Diaoyu Islands. According to the principle of “first occupation” in international law, the Diaoyu Islands belong to our Sakura Country! "
Lin Hao sneered and said.
"The principle of "first possession"? How ridiculous! "
"What you call "preemption" is nothing but illegal theft when the Sakura Kingdom launched a war against our country more than a hundred years ago! "
"Your occupation is illegal! It is invalid!"
"There are so many ancient books in our country that prove that Diaoyu Island has been part of the Xia Kingdom's territory since ancient times. Where did it come from as an unclaimed land?"
"According to the records in these ancient books, Diaoyu Island was owned by the Xia Kingdom at least five hundred years ago, and its sovereignty lies with the Xia Kingdom!"
"Since the Diaoyu Islands are owned land, there is no so-called "first possession" principle! "
"Even if it is "occupied first", it is our Xia Kingdom's "occupied first"! "
"The earliest record of Diaoyu Island in the existing ancient books of our Xia Kingdom can even be traced back to more than 600 years ago!"
"This shows that Xia Kingdom discovered this island more than 600 years ago and named it Diaoyu Island!"
"And in the ancient books written after the Xia Kingdom, it was classified as the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and it was under coastal defense jurisdiction."
"Moreover, we also found silk fabric that has not been completely corroded and weathered in the center of the Diaoyu Island!"
"As we all know, in ancient times, in the entire Blue Star, only the Xia Kingdom was rich in silk!"
"This proves that people in Xia Kingdom have lived briefly on Diaoyu Island since ancient times!"
"We, the Xia State, can produce so much evidence to prove our sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. What can your country produce?"
"I would like to ask if you can also find records about Diaoyu Island in the ancient books of Sakura Country?"
"Or is it that your ancients also lived a short life on the island?"
Taro Okamoto was suddenly speechless and hemmed and hawed.
"Then...that just means that your Xia Kingdom once occupied the Diaoyu Islands!"
"Although there is no clear record in my country's ancient books, from a geographical point of view, Diaoyu Island is obviously closer to my country's Zhongsheng County."
"It stands to reason that Diaoyu Island should belong to Zhongsheng County in our country!"
Seeing Taro Okamoto's messy look, Pang Gu whispered to the side.
"Tch! You just asked us for evidence. Why don't you ask yourself for evidence now?"
"Are you talking about geographical location without ancient books?"
"Why are these representatives of Sakura Country who are living a good life like my wife?"
"At this point, I lost my sense and started to change the topic and talk about it from another angle!"
He Ming joked with a smile.
"Why don't we say it's a small day? I'm so angry!"
"When you want to gain profits but you can't win, don't you have to change the track?"
Pang Gu smiled.
"You still have a life!"
The whispers between the two people beside him made Lin Hao smile knowingly, and then spoke.
"Mr. Okamoto, geographical proximity cannot be the basis for territorial ownership."
"Hundreds of years ago, Nakatawa Prefecture was called Ryukyu and was an independent country."
"It was only later that it was annexed by your Sakura Country and became your country's Nakatō Prefecture."
"The Diaoyu Islands in history had obvious geographical differences from the Ryukyu Kingdom and its nearby islands at that time."
"As shown in the information I just produced, the Diaoyu Islands have never belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom."
"Sakura Country's plan to place the Diaoyu Islands under the jurisdiction of Nakatō County is simply a fantasy!"
After being scolded by Lin Hao for a while, Kameda and Okamoto looked at each other.
After hesitating for a moment, Kameda Jiro spoke again.
"You said that the Diaoyu Islands belong to the Xia Kingdom, but it was clearly agreed in the "New Silver Sea Peace Treaty" and the "Return of the Middle Rope Agreement" that we signed with the Beautiful Kingdom."
"The Beautiful Country will return all administrative power in the entire Nakatō County, including the Diaoyu Islands, to our Sakura Country."
"Both agreements are approved by the international community! There is no way we can compromise!"
Lin Hao chuckled.
"This is easier!"
"The "New Silver Sea Peace Treaty" and the "Return of the Middle Rope Agreement" signed by your Sakura Country and the Beautiful Country have never been recognized by our Xia Country."
“A territorial transfer agreement without the consent of a sovereign country, do you think this is valid?”
"In our opinion, these two agreements are not legal at all, and they cannot change the fact that the Diaoyu Islands belong to the Xia Kingdom!"
Hear Lin Hao's words.
Kameda and Okamoto were immediately stunned.
They couldn't imagine it anyway.
The lawyer Xia Guo in front of them was not favored by them.
He was able to quarrel with the two elites of Sakura Country so much that they couldn't even speak.
