Chapter 778 The Japs Are Coming《Please Give Me Your Monthly Pass》
On the morning of the sixth day when Fan Wubing and the two girls were trapped on the island, the sound of a roaring motor came from the sea outside.
Through the observation of the telescope, Fan Wubing saw a small yacht of the same model as his own. While surprised, he discovered something else that made him feel very uncomfortable.
"How is it? Have you seen clearly who it is?" Shen Ying asked from the side.
In recent days, the two girls are not very worried anymore. Since helicopters pass by from time to time, it means that someone is already paying attention to this island. So it is not a troublesome thing for people like them to get out of trouble, but they have to Just choose someone you trust.
Fan Wubing handed the telescope to Shen Ying and Ye Jia and said, "Take a look for yourselves." Shen Ying took the telescope, took a look inside the tube, and immediately said, Oh, plaster flag. Ye Jiaxia also took a look and said with some confusion, "Japanese devils?" Why are they here too? "The three of them were all confused. They saw the yacht with the plaster flag stopped on the beach, and then someone jumped off and someone moved things down. There were three people in total, one of them seemed to be a photographer, and two foreigners There were two people, one looked like a bureaucrat with a big belly, and the other was a young and strong adult.
What they all have in common is that they have a white cloth wrapped around their head, but it is hard to see clearly what words are written on it. Even if Fan Wubing can speak a little Japanese, he cannot understand those ordinary people who have passed the Mu Reform. Fake names and katakana people.
"Let's see what they are doing first and then tell us more," Fan Wubing said after thinking for a moment.
A Japanese soldier set up a camera on the spot, and then the two other Japanese soldiers made an impassioned speech to the camera. Then they saw the fat-bellied Japanese soldier who looked like a bureaucrat solemnly taking out a plaster flag. , firmly inserted the alloy flagpole into a relatively solid position on the ground, and the younger one used a hammer to help him complete this feat. Damn it! "Fan Wubing immediately understood what these Japanese were doing.
China and Japan have disputes over the sovereignty of many islands in the East China Sea. The most famous one is the Diaoyu Islands. What is happening in front of us is obviously the same problem. The other side should have brought cameramen to the island to promote their views on this deserted island. Ownership of the island comes.
The East China Sea is a marginal sea surrounded by mainland China, Taiwan Island, the Korean Peninsula, Japan's Kyushu and the Ryukyu Islands. It connects the Sea of Japan and the South China Sea with the Tsushima Strait to the northeast, the Taiwan Strait to the southwest, and the Ryukyu Waterways to the Pacific Ocean in the east. Communication, covering an area of 750,000 square kilometers.
China and Japan are the second and third largest oil-consuming countries in the world respectively. According to estimates by "Looking" magazine, the East China Sea oil fields contain 25 billion tons of oil. The current domestic annual oil consumption is less than 300 million tons. That is to say, the oil content in the East China Sea can be used by my country for eighty years. It can be seen that the content is huge and the natural gas resources are more abundant. Therefore, not only does China regard it as an important strategic resource for the rise and fall of the country, Japan, with an energy self-sufficiency rate of only 4%, even uses the East China Sea oil fields. regarded as a fight to the death.
According to the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, coastal states can count the sea area within two hundred nautical miles from the coast baseline as their own exclusive economic zone, and all resources in the exclusive economic zone are owned by the coastal state.
Many areas of the East China Sea between China and Japan are only 360 nautical miles at their widest point, resulting in large areas of disputed waters.
The Japanese side proposed the principle of dividing the two countries according to the center line, so that no one would suffer. China believes that there is no middle line principle. The separation of oil resources on the East China Sea seabed must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Part 6 of the United Nations Law of the Sea "Continental Shelf". The continental shelf can extend to a maximum of 350 nautical miles from the coast. But if the middle is more than 2,500 meters deep,
It is not an extension of the continental shelf.
These two clauses can completely suppress Japan's claim to the East China Sea oil and gas resources, and can legally guarantee the legality of China's exploration of East China Sea oil. Because there is a buffer trough on the seabed westward from Okinawa, Japan, with a depth of more than 2,900 meters. Therefore, the existence of that trough has become a work limit for Japan to be unable to extend its continental shelf to the west to reach 350 nautical miles. fatal restrictions. China does not have this problem, so the continental shelf sovereignty claimed by China extends all the way to the Okinawa Trough, where it demarcates Japan.
Of course, it is impossible for the Japanese to accept this reality. They shamelessly throw out the weird straw effect theory and believe that the oil and gas resources stored on the bottom of the East China Sea, according to their "middle line" plan, most of the oil is stored on the Japanese side of the middle line. China's preemptive exploration will be like a straw, not only sucking up the oil stored on the Chinese side of the middle line, but also taking advantage of the trend to suck away the resources stored on the Japanese side, thus causing losses to Japan's national interests. This requires Japanese officials to take measures as soon as possible to compete with China for this seabed oil treasure.
Chinese experts refuted this, saying that when the Japanese invaded Kuwait, they borrowed this theory. This theory is no longer tenable in the international community. From our intuitive understanding, the continental shelf is high in the west and low in the east. Oil is a liquid. Even if it really flows, it will flow from China to Japan. It is impossible to flow backwards. Japan has always advocated the use of the equidistant middle line between land to divide the East China Sea continental shelf between China and Japan. The scope of the survey of the so-called "national continental shelf" is the eastern part of Japan, the Ogasawara Islands, Minami Torishima, Okinotorishima in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, and the Chinese territory Diaoyu Island, Japan and South Korea The disputed Takeshima is around nine sea areas, with a total area of 650,000 square kilometers, equivalent to 1.7 times the land area of Japan.
The area of Japan's exclusive economic zone demarcated according to Japan's "median line" is about 300,000 square kilometers different from that demarcated according to China's "natural extension of the continental shelf" principle, which is equivalent to the area of three Zhejiang provinces.
Therefore, the previous generation of leaders once said that all Chinese people know that China has 9.6 million square kilometers of land... It is written in elementary school textbooks, even little kids know it, it can't become 9.3 million square kilometers in the hands of Mao, and 300,000 square kilometers are missing out of thin air. You can't let me go to see my ancestors with the crime of being a traitor.
However, Japan's attempt to expand its exclusive economic zone by using the "median line" and forcibly divide the continental shelf with China lacks a legal basis in international law. At the beginning, the Federal Republic of Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands were in the North Sea. There was a dispute over the ownership of the continental shelf. If divided by the median line, the Federal Republic of Germany would have the least continental shelf, but in fact, most of the North Sea continental shelf extends from the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the end, the International Court of Justice ruled in favor of the Federal Republic of Germany, thus establishing the principle of natural extension of territory.
Precisely because of these disputes, the sovereignty of various islands of different sizes in the East China Sea has always been a place that China and Japan must fight for, but no one expected that the Japanese would come to this unknown deserted island to claim sovereignty.
Although Fan Wubing has never paid much attention to these things, when he saw the shameless behavior of the Japanese devils with his own eyes, he was still very angry in his heart, and he couldn't hold it back.
"It's too much, it's really intolerable for aunts and uncles! You stay here, I'll go and deal with them!" Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying and Ye Jiawu with an angry face, holding a camping shovel.
Shen Ying and Ye Jiawu also understood what the other party was doing at this time, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Go, we volunteers support you! But can we do anything? "
Fan Wubing thought about it and immediately had an idea. What he wanted most was the yacht over there, but he had no way of knowing if there were any people left on the yacht. If he rushed over and knocked down the three devils, maybe the people on the yacht would run away, and he would lose the chance to leave the island.
"Don't mention it, you can really help." Fan Wubing frowned, and then he said to Shen Ying and Ye Jia.
The three Japanese who landed on the island this time really came to promote sovereignty.
Originally, the sovereignty of this deserted island was also in dispute, but the two governments were relatively restrained and took the path of making a fortune in silence, first developing their own resources and shelving the dispute.
However, members of the opposition parties in Japan have always been happy to stir up the sovereignty issues of these small islands. On the one hand, for the Japanese people who are short of resources, fighting for sovereignty is fighting for resources. This First, you need to support it with both hands and feet, and second, you can use it to raise your political status and create momentum for votes.
This time, because of the resignation of the LDP cabinet, the opposition members are eager to get a piece of the pie in this event, so it is particularly important to build momentum for yourself in advance.
The guy with a big belly like a bureaucrat is a member of the Akita Prefecture in Japan, named Koyama Chikata. He brought a TV reporter and his assistant and drove a yacht here to show off. The purpose is nothing more than hoping that he can achieve good results in this election. However, the three people are recording a documentary here. When Koyama Chikata was passionately speaking to the camera about the significance of his landing on the deserted island this time and his campaign policy, he heard a girl's shouting in the distance along the gusts of sea breeze.
"Nani? "…, Yamachinda was stunned for a moment, and the three of them put down their work and turned their heads to look at Daobu. They found that in the distance, about 200 meters away, outside the jungle, there were two young and beautiful girls waving at them.
