Chapter 905 Overseas Strategy

Confirmed recently. The Japanese discovered the ingredients of dried fish on the sunken patrol boats and reported the relevant details to the media. "

Fan Wuzian was sitting in the headquarters in Shanghai, watching the morning news.

According to Kyodo News, a Japanese joint investigation team concluded that traces of gunpowder found on the sunken maritime patrol boat were traces left when a torpedo warhead exploded.

A senior official from the Japanese Ministry of Defense also said on the same day that the gunpowder component detected on the seabed where the broken surface of the maritime patrol boat and the broken surface of the stern were in contact was cyclotrimethylene trinitrate. The explosive is usually used in torpedoes, so the joint investigation team concluded that the torpedo explosion caused the shipwreck.

The official also said. The investigation team is conducting a precise analysis of the origin of the above-mentioned torpedoes in the hope of finding the murderer from the source.

However, the official cautiously expressed his personal opinion to the media, believing that although the information obtained from the opponent's lifebuoy obtained by the crew member who fell into the water showed that, These lifebuoys belong to the South Korean maritime department. It cannot be determined that the Koreans attacked the Japanese maritime patrol boat. Everything needs to be supported by new evidence.

At the same time, the relevant Japanese media have also extensively reported on some recent disputes between South Korea and Japan over sea rights and sovereignty of their islands. The intention is naturally self-evident.

"Haha, Japanese people are still relatively sober. Fan Wubing smiled and turned off the TV with the remote control.

Fan Wubing still felt a little regretful that there was no conflict between Japan and South Korea.

It has been more than a week since the Japanese maritime patrol boat sank, and the wreckage has been salvaged, but their investigation has not made any substantial breakthrough. This is somewhat puzzling. In fact, according to the current level of science and technology, the investigation is not difficult. The reason why they have not dared to fully announce the cause of the sinking and identify the mastermind behind the sinking is not so much a technical issue as it is due to political considerations.

In fact, it can be inferred from various signs at this time. The Japanese government and opposition parties have all concluded that a Korean torpedo sank a Japanese maritime patrol boat, but the authorities did not dare to make an official statement and directly pointed out that South Korea was the murderer. Because of this, Japanese public opinion will inevitably demand that the government send troops to retaliate. However, Japan believes that the consequences of a large-scale military conflict with South Korea at this stage will not be beneficial to Japan.

Like South Korea, Japan's military command is actually in the hands of the US military stationed in Japan. Under the fundamental principle of the supremacy of US national interests, Japan is simply unable to mobilize military power to retaliate against South Korea. Therefore, Japan can only dilute public sentiment by delaying the investigation to reduce the pressure on the government.

It's just that Japan's private media has always been relatively open. At this time, it is more difficult to control public opinion. Everyone has the same idea.

The Koreans must pay the price for this, but the Japanese government cannot tell the story of its suffering.

Judging from the comparison of naval power, Japan is naturally much superior to South Korea.

Former Navy Chief of Staff Ahn Byung-tae, known as the father of the Korean Ocean Navy, once pointed out that the combat effectiveness of the Korean Navy is only about 30% of Japan's.

At present, the total tonnage of South Korean ships is 130,000 tons, and that of Japan is 430,000 tons. The ratio of the number of surface ships above 3,000 tons between Japan and South Korea is six to one, the ratio of Aegis ships is eight to one, and the ratio of fixed-wing anti-submarine patrol aircraft is as high as twelve to one. The Virginia Navy has forty combat ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, while the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has more than 30 ships with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons.

In terms of anti-submarine warfare capabilities, Japan and South Korea are like adults fighting children against North Korea. Japan has sixteen submarines. The South Korean Navy currently has ten submarines. Japan has more than 90 anti-submarine aircraft, while the other countries have only eight. The Korean Navy has more than 40 helicopters. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has more than 90 helicopters.

The South Korean Air Force has more than 500 fighter jets of various types, but their levels are lower and their combat capabilities and time are shorter. Although the Japan Air Self-Defense Force only has more than 360 fighter jets, most of them are high-performance fighter jets and have aerial refueling capabilities. ability.

In terms of air force, the biggest disadvantage of the Korean army lies in its early warning and electronic warfare capabilities. Japan has four silicon and 13 early warning aircraft, which can know the movements of the Korean Air Force 350 kilometers away. However, the Korean Air Force currently does not have its own early warning aircraft. If an air battle breaks out, although the South Korean Air Force can get help from nearby long-range radars, the detection range is far less than that of Japan's early warning aircraft. In terms of military strength comparison, if Japan uses this incident to attack South Korea. That is a great advantage, but due to the factors of the United States, coupled with Japan's view as a defeated country in World War II, the war-weariness of its people, and the high attention of the international community, they did not dare to easily provoke the bottom line of the international community.

If Japan really dares to attack South Korea. Then the first person to take action may be its master, the Americans. The Americans will never allow the two major territories they actually control to have a fight between the underworld. What will be lost in that way is the interests of the Americans.

As the two most important countries on the first island chain to contain China and Russia, Japan is also good. Be it South Korea. Once it becomes an American, the strategic foundation of food cannot be reflected anywhere." Let alone Japan and South Korea, Americans will never allow such a thing to happen.

Although I feel a little sorry for this result. But Fan Wubing was helpless. In fact, the consequences of this incident. Overall, he is quite satisfied. At least for now, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's attention is focused on South Korea, and it is temporarily unable to spare the power to harass China's oil and gas field projects in the East China Sea.

However, what is more troublesome is that Japan's patrol force at sea has also been strengthened. In a short period of time, Fan Wubing's plan to organize manpower to operate in the sovereign waters claimed by China could not be realized.

However, during lunch, my father Fan Heng called me, "Have you paid attention to the maritime conflict between Japan and South Korea?"

"Oh, I've seen it a little bit, but it seems like the two sides can't fight. It's really a pity." Fan Wubing replied.

"If there is a fight, it will not do any good. There is no guarantee that it will not cause trouble for us. They are the ones fighting, and more will be affected. The Americans will have even more headaches. There will inevitably be a six-party talks or something. Where will we be? Do you have time to talk about this kind of thing? Even if you are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you have to do something constructive, right?" Fan Heng replied.

"Isn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just a unit used to argue with others?" Fan Wubing muttered. "Fan Heng was very dissatisfied with this, but what he said next was in line with Fan Wubing's habit. "This is just for talking at home. Don't talk nonsense outside, as others will have ideas after hearing it.

At this time Fan Heng was not only a member of the Standing Committee. He is still the executive deputy prime minister, so his influence is naturally very different. Speaking of diplomacy, although it is not within the scope of his responsibility, he still needs to be concerned about it at all times, so of course he does not want such unreliable words to come from his son's mouth. Let people feel dissatisfied.

After all, revolutionary work is just a division of labor. Pragmatic and retreat work are equally important. Without the efforts of the volunteers on the diplomatic front, we would not be able to become a permanent member of the United Nations.

"By the way, your operations at sea haven't started yet, right? There has been a lot of noise recently, and the situation in the East China Sea is tense. Let's not compete with the Japanese for the time being, so as not to cause any big trouble again." Fan Ting finally said to his son.

"Yeah. Fan Wubing agreed, but in his heart he wanted to say that you said it a little late. It is true that your son and I did what happened over there. It's just that the power is more dexterous, which made the Japanese suspicious. The Koreans deliberately caused mischief, but the Koreans thought it was the Japanese who deliberately framed it, haha.

Fan Wubing did not tell his father about this, so as not to worry him about himself later. For this kind of thing, it is usually safest to let it rot in the stomach. Anyway, his goal has been achieved.

"By the way, I plan to make adjustments to the two major oil companies recently. Do you have any special suggestions?" Fan Heng suddenly asked.

"This is up to you. The monopoly industry is like that anyway." Fan Wubing didn't have any opinion on this, because he knew very well that as a monopoly industry with huge profits, the government would definitely not allow others to get involved in the oil industry. Otherwise, if he really enters the petrochemical industry, it is estimated that the two major oil companies will go bankrupt within three years, but this is not what he is bragging about.

Whether from the perspective of grassroots units or from the top management of the two major oil companies, they are all eating from the monopoly. Although it cannot be said that there are not many enterprising people, there are very few, and the competitiveness is even more ridiculously weak. If there are not There is really no way to survive through policy protection.

From this point of view, although the barriers in the telecommunications industry are also very serious, there is still an atmosphere of competition between them. At least the progress in technology is relatively fast, which is much better than the two major oil companies.

.

Moreover, although the telecommunications industry has not opened up to itself, it has participated in network operation services. This can also explain the progress of the telecommunications industry from the side.

However, although he currently has no opportunity or intention to enter the petrochemical industry, in the long run, this day will happen sooner or later. Therefore, Fan Wubing also feels that he has chosen Lingxi Province as the first strategic development in the new century. The region also has a very important meaning. At least I can use my brain more on the periphery of the petrochemical industry. Various manufacturing equipment should be launched first. Once I have that opportunity, I can enter this industry at any time.

Of course, this is more difficult. After all, the two major oil companies have already monopolized a lot of oil and gas resources, and there are indeed very few left in the country. At present, I still have to look for opportunities overseas first, and then rush to the country when the time comes.
