Chapter 1608 The "Nationalization" of Diaoyu Islands Japan

The United States feels terrified about China's economic growth rate, and even European countries feel terrified, but the European side does not care much about this.

China is too far away from Europe.

Even if China has a strategic intercontinental missile with a range of up to 8,000 kilometers, it does not worry Europe very much. After all, the Chinese missile and the nuclear bomb are too far apart from the Soviet Union.

Regarding the robbing of China's cargo ships coming out of Malacca by Neptune Dosan, the Chinese government has constantly made solemn representations, and the wording has become tougher day by day.

Especially for the Ministry of National Defense of China, the press spokesperson said strongly, "The Chinese government and army will reserve the right to take relevant measures!"

Such a statement made the American personnel planning this incident more confident.

On December 1, 1992, the homepage of Japan's Asahi Shimbun published a full-page report that shocked everyone in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau!

"...Tokyo Governor Shunichi Suzuki recently met with the owner of the Diaoyu Islands, Subara Kuni, to acquire a part of the islands to nationalize the Diaoyu Islands... The acquisition plan has entered the final stage and the acquisition is expected to be completed within 1993..."

"... Mr. Kuniki Awahara publicly stated that a few days ago, a foreigner proposed to invest 3 billion yen to acquire the Diaoyu Islands that belonged to the Awahara family since the 1970s... In order to oppose the Diaoyuan Island falling into the hands of foreigners with ulterior motives, Mr. Awahara Willing to sell the Diaoyu Islands to the country to ensure national sovereignty..."

"In 1895, the pioneer Mr. Tatsushiro Koga obtained a 30-year lease from the government. In 1932, his son Zenji Koga bought the islands from the government for 15,000 yen except for "Akawei Island"... After 1970, the Koga family "transferred" the "ownership" of the Diaoyu Islands to a friend who lives in Saitama Prefecture, Kurihara Kuniki..."

Japan’s Asahi Shimbun reported that Tokyo, Japan would buy the Diaoyu Islands, and used some historical events to prove that Subara is a person who “legally” owns the Diaoyu Islands.

However, the Japanese government has not expressed any stance, and far-right politicians are eager to provoke an incident between China and Japan.

Even some people in Japan are a little confused.

The dispute over the Diaoyu Islands started a long time ago. Although the government claimed that it was their territory, anyone who has a little knowledge of history knows exactly what happened.

Soon after Japan reported the news, the Chinese government immediately responded.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a strong message, "The Japanese government, in spite of the repeated serious negotiations of the Chinese government, announced the implementation of'nationalization' of islands that have been part of Chinese territory since ancient times. This is a serious violation of China's territorial sovereignty. The serious injury to the 1.2 billion Chinese people’s feelings is a serious violation of historical facts and international legal principles. The Chinese government and people express their firm opposition and strong protest. The Chinese government will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the country in accordance with the development of the situation. Territorial sovereignty and national dignity!"

Regarding matters involving territorial sovereignty, the Chinese government has always used strong words.

At present, Neptune is causing trouble for China in the South China Sea, while in the northern China waters, Japan has jumped out and brought up the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands once again.

The country naturally knows the reason for this, but it has to take a firm stand.

In particular, the Ministry of National Defense of China, immediately after the press conference issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also stiffly stated, “The determination and will of the Chinese government and military to defend the country’s territorial sovereignty is unwavering, and all officers and soldiers have done a good job of defending it. The territorial integrity of the motherland and preparations for safeguarding national dignity. The Chinese government and military are closely following developments and reserve the right to take all measures to safeguard the territorial integrity of the motherland..."

Although the wording was strong, the Chinese officials did nothing except to fight the lawsuit.

After all, this time Japan was only an act of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Although to a large extent it can be regarded as the attitude of the Japanese government, the top Japanese government did not make any statement on the matter.

The Japanese Prime Minister did not speak, and there was no news from the Japanese government.

The Chinese government hasn't done any extreme behavior, not even the conduct of military exercises on the seashore.

"That won't work! The Chinese government must increase its military investment!" Knowing that China only expressed strong protest at the press conference as before, made solemn representations, and maintained the right to take measures.

If the United States had sent their aircraft carrier fleet.

Just like when Iraq invaded Kuwait, the United States dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops every minute to wipe out the Iraqi army.

China is too weak.

fight?

Now they can’t fight at all. The Chinese government knows better than anyone that they don’t have much economic power to fight. Japan’s national security is upheld by the US military.

Once war starts and the US military in Japan is not enough, then the domestic troops in the United States will be mobilized.

"The Chinese government should be discussing this issue right now. Japan is causing trouble in the East China Sea, and Neptune is making trouble in the south. Their warships simply can't handle it. Taiwan is also making them unconscious. There is no other way to increase their military investment!" Mister said very clearly."However, in order to increase the pressure on China, we can send another aircraft carrier into the Japanese waters for military exercises..."

"Just do it! We are responsible for the Japanese security. Our aircraft carrier fleet enters the seas of Japan to exercise to protect their country, and China has no way to say anything!" The president agreed.

There are not many days since the power in his hands was handed over. Now every hour is precious.

Once the power is handed over, it is impossible to do it according to one's own ideas.

"President, what if Clinton disagrees?" the assistant asked the president. "The arrangement we made on Neptune's side has made him very dissatisfied."

"For the national interest of the United States, he will agree. By the way, how is the situation on Neptune's side?" The president doesn't care about the attitude of the new president at all.

Anyway, he did it for national interest.

The new president should just continue to follow his plan in the military, and the more important task should be economic construction.

How about Neptune?

The current negotiations have reached a stalemate.

As far away as Ukraine, waiting for Gorba's woodman to announce his resignation, the Kremlin lowered the hammer and sickle flag, Liu Yijiu, who was at the last moment of the death of the Soviet empire, was also a little surprised.

It's great for the little devil to cooperate with them at this time!

"I have sent a message from China, asking you to go to the meeting as soon as possible..." Liu Suxue couldn't help but feel a little speechless for Liu Yijiu's stay in Ukraine and the current situation around the country is so tense.

Domestically, however, Liu Yijiu's behavior is already very dissatisfied.

"What's the use of going back to the meeting? The big deal is to increase investment in military science and technology, to speed up the modernization of the army, and by the way, to ensure that economic construction is not affected or something... What's the point? When the previous problems arise, the chiefs are very clear, otherwise it will not just be a lawsuit!" Liu Yijiu said indifferently.

There was no way he went back.

"They want to know what happened to Neptune." Liu Suxue said to Liu Yijiu.

"Isn't this good now? Forgetting the war is dangerous. Many people in China think that the war is very far away..." Liu Yijiu laughed, and he did not expect such a thing to happen. "U.S. People are still very cooperative with our plan here... By the way, what happened to Neptune’s talks with the Americans? Aegis, will the Americans give it?"

"The Americans are still hesitating." Liu Suxue shook his head helplessly. "You know, this is their most advanced warship. The defensive capabilities and early warning functions of the Aegis system are the most reliable and the most advanced in the world. I'm a little puzzled, haven't we developed a phased array radar in China?"

The meaning is obvious. The active phased array radar has been developed in China a few years ago, and it has been put into practical use in many aspects.

The homemade Type 052 guided missile destroyer is currently designed based on some Western technologies, and there is no way to install these active phased array radars. However, the design of the Type 052b has already started.

It does not matter whether the American Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and Ticonderoga-class cruisers are used.

"The American warship technology has a lot of reference. Especially the Aegis ships. In this regard, we basically started from scratch. It is not possible to make this kind of thing with active phased array radar..." Liu Yijiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The domestically produced Aegis ship can barely be called the Aegis ship after getting the 052c ship in the original world.The truly advanced is the 052d type.

It was only developed after four generations, but the performance is not much different from that of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers that the Americans had already equipped in the 1980s.

How can Liu Yijiu remain unmoved?

"We must ask them to give two! Even if there is no Ticonderoga-class cruiser, at least there must be an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Being behind is not a problem at all, and we don't want to be advanced." Liu Yijiu licked his lips.

He has no doubt that domestic technicians are imitating and using the imitation foundation to improve their development capabilities.

Only by understanding the advanced warship design concepts of various countries in the world can we design more advanced Chinese Aegis ships.

Even if it is used as a reference for the improved design of the 052 type, it is also very useful.
