Chapter 904 It’s Korean!

Point disease provoked tensions in the Haibu conflict between Japan and South Korea. Even if it was cut, Shan Zhi had fulfilled his established mission, but his actions actually exceeded his father Fan Heng's expectations.

Fan Heng was originally asked to express domestic demands for China's maritime rights and interests on behalf of civil forces, but he did not expect that he would rush into the disputed waters between the two parties with full force, and also use torpedoes to sink the other party's maritime patrol. Boat, these things were beyond his imagination.

And the reason why Fan Wubing did this. In fact, there are reasons, mainly because China's current power and strength are not enough to support civilian forces to participate in this kind of conflict.

Overall, there is a big gap between China's maritime rights protection and law enforcement forces and similar agencies in neighboring countries.

China has nearly 3 million square kilometers of maritime land, of which the exclusive economic zone under China's jurisdiction reaches more than 2.6 million square kilometers. The task of safeguarding maritime rights and interests is arduous, but China's existing maritime areas Management rights are dispersed among many departments such as maritime surveillance, maritime affairs, fishery administration, customs, and border defense and coast guard, showing the characteristics of multiple management and small overlapping functions.

Among them, the China Maritime Surveillance Corps, which is affiliated with the State Oceanic Administration, its main function is to carry out patrol surveillance of sea areas under China's jurisdiction, investigate and deal with violations of illegal use of sea areas, destruction of offshore facilities, and disruption of maritime order. In recent years, monitoring foreign rights-related law enforcement such as illegal foreign scientific expeditions and close-in reconnaissance of foreign troops in China's exclusive economic zone, mainland China and disputed waters has become one of the important responsibilities of the maritime surveillance department.

There are three maritime surveillance stations in the North Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea. The fleet has more than 20 law enforcement boats of various types." With the increasing number of foreign-related law enforcement tasks of maritime surveillance, these small boats are basically of no use.

The Maritime Safety Administration under the Ministry of Transport is mainly responsible for national water safety supervision and prevention of ship pollution, inspection of ships and offshore facilities, and maritime safety and lifesaving.

The Public Security Border Defense and Coast Guard Force, which is under the jurisdiction of the Border Defense Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, is mainly tasked with maintaining public order in the maritime areas under its jurisdiction. It is also the most paramilitary force among maritime law enforcement agencies.

Generally speaking, the domestic maritime law enforcement force is still in its infancy and is far from meeting the needs of managing maritime territories. It cannot calmly deal with the complex situation of rights protection and law enforcement in large areas of sea, and it does not have the emergency response capability to quickly handle large-scale emergencies at sea.

Compared with China, neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea have already implemented paramilitary maritime law enforcement forces.

Currently, the Japan Coast Guard has jurisdiction over a total of eleven. The administrative area and two professional training schools, Coast Guard University and Coast Guard School, have more than 500 patrol ships of various types and more than 70 aircraft, including more than ten large patrol ships of more than 3,000 tons.

The Korea Coast Guard divides the surrounding waters into thirteen interconnected security areas.

Thirteen local coast guard stations were established accordingly. At present, it has more than 260 guard ships of various types, including 13 guard ships of more than 1,000 tons. According to the plan, the South Korean Coast Guard will start construction or launch eight new ships of more than 1,000 tons within three years.

Although the Vietnam Coast Guard is weak in strength and has relatively large vessel tonnage, it often has dozens of armed fishing boats to cooperate with each large-scale foreign-related operation. These armed boats are basically active service members of the Vietnam Navy. They are not only equipped with submachine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, machine guns and even individual anti-tank rocket launchers. They have relatively powerful firepower and are capable of serious fire.

In contrast, domestic maritime surveillance, maritime affairs, fishery administration and even coast guard forces are not enough to compete with the maritime paramilitary forces of neighboring countries in terms of ship tonnage, weapons equipment, personnel military quality, confrontation experience, etc. Once a maritime confrontation occurs, or armed conflict, they must be passive and have no ability to control the disputed waters.

In order to achieve control over each other's economic zones and large sea areas, especially disputed sea areas, China's neighboring countries have integrated naval and maritime law enforcement forces to strengthen cooperation and contact between the two. On the one hand, they have established a maritime maritime law enforcement system that combines military and police security system; on the other hand, the use of force highlights intelligence sharing and joint surveillance and patrols.

For example, the Japan Coast Guard has overlapping its jurisdiction with the Maritime Self-Defense Force’s guard area. Under normal circumstances, the Coast Guard will handle maritime incidents, and the Self-Defense Force ships will provide support and cooperation. in the disputed waters of the Diaoyu Islands. The Coast Guard also coordinates Self-Defense Force ships to participate in emergency operations based on specific situations. Each year, the two sides conduct joint training dozens of times.

After the dispute between China and Japan in the East China Sea heated up. The number of joint patrols between the Coast Guard and the Maritime Self-Defense Force has increased rapidly, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has also dispatched ships many times to assist the Security Agency's activities. The Japanese destroyers Kurama and Sawagiri once went to Chunxiao Oilfield for close reconnaissance.

South Korea adopts a tripartite maritime security system of coast guard, navy and air force. In operations such as protecting the exclusive economic zone and controlling Dokdo waters, coast guard ships first conduct close surveillance and inspections, while navy ships take on the role of vigilance. and fire support missions, ready to join combat operations at any time.

In recent years,. Paying more attention to the joint use of the navy and coast guard to protect its marine resources, Han Jiyin and the Coast Guard jointly decided to convert the patrol area of ​​coast guard ships from the territorial sea to the exclusive economic zone to block and blockade other areas. Focusing on illegal fishing by domestic fishermen, a special law enforcement system has been built for naval cover and coast guard capture.

Furthermore, because the domestic maritime security force was not enough to deal with the forces of Japan and South Korea, Fan Wubing resorted to sowing discord. The strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight successfully provoked a maritime conflict between Japan and South Korea.

Compared to China, whose maritime strength is very weak, the Japanese are very wary of the South Korean Navy, whose strength is constantly improving.

Therefore, when the news of the sinking of the maritime patrol boat was transmitted back to the base, the Japanese side sent five armed helicopters to the accident area to rescue the Self-Defense Force members who fell into the water first.

Although the Japanese who sank in the water were in a rather embarrassing situation, they were professionally trained after all, and they were much better than ordinary people in this aspect. Nothing serious happened, but two members of the maritime patrol boat were injured in the explosion. The situation was very serious and they were taken back by helicopter for rescue.

With the help of the helicopter, the people who fell down turned the rubber boat over. Then they lay on it and gasped. Except for the serious loss of equipment, the rubber boat was still usable. After a rest, someone on the helicopter came down to help them drive the rubber boat back.

In front, there was already a patrol boat that had heard the news and came to meet them, and the backup forces such as the missile destroyer of the Maritime Self-Defense Force were coming behind to provide support.

"It's the Koreans!" The patrol boat that was sunk by the torpedo and climbed out of the water complained indignantly to the commander who came to rescue them.

"It's the Koreans!" More Self-Defense Force members who climbed out of the water complained.

"Is there any evidence? The commander is still relatively calm...

The commander frowned and took the lifebuoy from the Japanese. When he saw the tiny Korean letters on the inside, he jumped up immediately, "This is a provocation! This is a war! This is a naked violation of the rights and interests of Japan at sea!"

However, the adjutants next to him were calmer. They pulled him down and whispered, "Commander. This is just evidence. As for whether it is a war, it is not up to us to decide."

The commander also felt that his emotions were a bit too extreme, so he calmed down and asked, "Is there any other evidence?"

"Yes." More than a dozen people who fell into the water took out the lifebuoys they picked up and raised them together.

"Uh, Yoshi! The commander nodded.

In fact, the dozen lifebuoys are not important evidence. The most important thing should be the sunken patrol boat. According to common sense, there are only a few countries that can produce torpedoes, especially those that can export to this side. By analyzing the fragments of the torpedoes that attacked the patrol boat, we can generally find clues and know the true identity of the attacker.

So at this time, the commander was not in a hurry to put the hat of attacking the patrol boat on the Koreans. In his opinion, if there is a conflict in this sea area and the other party in the conflict is Chinese, it will obviously be more beneficial to Japan's East China Sea strategy.

After all, in recent times, the more serious the dispute between China and Japan on the East China Sea oil and gas fields, the smaller the conflict. Although both sides are more radical, they have also maintained restraint on the bottom line, and it has not been serious enough to cause a misfire. No one wants to fire the first shot.

However, if today's incident is put on the Chinese, it will obviously help the ongoing Sino-Japanese diplomatic talks. At least it will allow the Japanese to be aggressive in the negotiations, occupy the height of justice, and gain greater support in the media.

As for how to toss. It depends on what the politicians in Congress think.

At this time, Fan Wubing had already returned to China, first put away his yacht, modified and spray-painted the exterior. The internal weapons and equipment were first dismantled and put back into the warehouse, and then he returned to Shanghai leisurely. Here, the emperor is far away and no one can control him, so it is the most convenient way to hide from trouble.

On the third day after Fan Wubing returned to Shanghai, the Japanese began to have trouble, pointing the finger at the Koreans across the sea. They accused the Koreans of sending out modified armed yachts and using German-made torpedoes to sink their maritime patrol boats. Once this news came out, it immediately shocked the entire international community.
