After half a month of bickering, Lin Youde and Charlotte finally reached a consensus. The US military will withdraw from the Ming Empire territory outside Yingzhou, but the Korean Peninsula will exist as a demilitarized zone. The new Ming government forces and the Ming Empire government forces None can enter the Korean Peninsula, and the governance of the Korean Peninsula belongs to the Ming Empire government. In fact, this is to put the Korean Peninsula into the sphere of influence of the United States, and at the same time, it also leaves a place for the Ming Empire government to continue its life. Lin Youde was quite satisfied with this agreement. He was not from this time and space. He also had an understanding of the "motherland" from another time and space. The image of the big rooster was deeply ingrained, so Lin Youde did not feel particularly unhappy when the Korean Peninsula was taken away. On the contrary, he felt that the New China in this time and space at least still controlled the complete Mongolia, and the Central Asian side also broke off a piece from Russia. No matter how you look at it, it is "earned." But as soon as a consensus was reached, the fox reminded Lin Youde: "If you really want to sign like this, a lot of people in the Ming Dynasty will definitely scold you. The Korean Peninsula and Yingzhou here are regarded as the traditional territories of the Ming Empire." "In my case, "Hometown," there is a saying, "The hometown in Lin Youde's mouth naturally refers to the 'hometown' of another time and space, "If you are poor, you will put aside the dispute, and if you are rich, you will have it since ancient times. Do you know what this means?" "I don't know what it means. That is, when the country is poor and weak, it adopts the position of shelving disputes and joint development on territorial issues. It doesn't matter if it is a fait accompli. When the country becomes strong, it will forcefully use the banner that this has been our territory since ancient times. "Expel the enemy." "Isn't this what King Gou Jian of Yue did back then?" "That's right." The meeting was adjourned at this time, so Lin Youde was telling the fox a story while drinking tea, and Viola was sitting on the other side of him. Listen attentively with your ears open. ¡°At our time, China had always claimed its sovereignty in the South China Sea and had drawn a territorial sea line called the nine-dash line in the South China Sea. That line had been drawn to the Riau Islands in a very exaggerated way¡± ¡°That¡¯s not all. Are you approaching the Gulf of Siam?" Fox's eyes widened, "Isn't this too big?" "Yes, according to this nine-dash line, fishermen from Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines will enter it soon after they set sail. China has territorial waters, so it makes sense that the surrounding countries do not recognize this nine-dash line. ""Can't this drawing method find legal support?" The fox continued, and at this time Viola pulled out Asia from the information in front of her. After looking at the map, he finally showed a look of enlightenment. "In fact, the biggest basis for this nine-dash line in international law is the agreement reached at the Spoils Division Conference in Cairo at the end of World War II. In other words, this nine-dash line is actually one of the many compensations that the Chinese army received after its bloody battle in World War II. "Because of this, no one in the world dares to completely deny the nine-dash line." Lin Youde paused, "Of course, in order to gain support from the international community, the Chinese government still needs to find some basis that is consistent with international maritime law, so China issued a There is something like a detailed declaration of sovereignty over the islands and reefs in the South China Sea, which lists all the islands and reefs that claim sovereignty as the legal basis for the nine-dash line, and emphasizes on various occasions that the southernmost tip of China's territory is a reef called Zengmu Shoal. . But in fact, this Zengmu Ansha is seventeen meters underwater." As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Sisi, who was sitting with a fox across from him, spat out the tea she had just drank. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth while asking: "Do you use a shoal seventeen meters under the water as the demarcation standard?" "Yes, this is not the most extreme. The reef as the basis for demarcation is better than this one. There are still many deep waters, and there are rumors that the list of islands and reefs in the South China Sea released by the country has actually been deleted. Many of the so-called reefs that have been deleted are located more than 100 meters underwater. Even the national government itself Everyone felt that this was too shameless and needed to be restrained, so I deleted it" Lin Youde paused: "In short, this nine-dash line is a nonsense line, so the country was also very guilty at the beginning, and at that time the country was too We were so poor that we couldn't even guarantee regular patrols, and the performance of the ships we used was not good, so we put forward the position of shelving the dispute and jointly developing it." "Then what?" Fox asked. "After China became stronger, it began to mention 'since ancient times' again, and quietly changed its tone, so that many military enthusiasts who paid attention to the situation in the South China Sea only discovered that the tone had quietly changed after many years. Later, China began to move toward hegemony, and instead of mentioning it directly from ancient times, it began to build islands based on reefs. "Oh," the fox sighed, "this." It¡¯s totally the style of the great powers in the 19th century. I won¡¯t make sense to you at all.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The most interesting thing is that China has a summer fishing moratorium to protect marine fishery resources, setting aside a few months every year. , to the fishes in the sea.Derivative interest. This is only a domestic policy of China, and it should not control foreign fishermen. However, China claims that the nine-dash line is its territorial waters. Therefore, as soon as the fishing moratorium started during the summer season, Chinese coast guard ships were chasing Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia all over the world. The fishing boat ran away" The fox laughed. Lin Youde also laughed: "Imagine that Vietnamese fishermen set sail for fishing in the morning. Just an hour after leaving the port, they encountered a Chinese coast guard ship with a loudspeaker telling you that now It¡¯s the time when the fishing moratorium is about to ask you to go back" At this time, even Viola laughed, but soon Viola put away her smile, looked at Lin Youde and asked: "You said this and you will be accused of treason. What does it matter? " "I was just about to say it. Now, China is much weaker than the United States. If it fights with the United States, it will occupy the coast. Even after paying so many casualties, it cannot drive the Americans into the sea. Therefore, losing Yingzhou and North Korea is natural. No matter how hard I try, as long as the premise that China itself cannot defeat the United States still exists, I will have no way to obtain more concessions from the United States. But when China becomes stronger in the future, it will naturally take back Yingzhou and North Korea step by step. Of course, it is not necessary to re-merge these two places into one's own territory. In fact, in modern society, there are many ways to squeeze benefits without annexing territory. In short, China's knowledgeable people will definitely realize that the current concession is inevitable, and these people will not blame me. " Viola looked at Lin Youde and sighed softly. "We in Germany are the same. If we work harder and cause the United States to suffer more losses, we may be able to win more concessions. " "No way, the conditions of Americans are too good. If we personify the country, there is no doubt that the United States is the protagonist of the twentieth century, with the halo of the protagonist. Lin Youde paused, "I am very satisfied that I can rely on my protagonist's halo to force the Americans to the negotiating table." " At this time, Charlotte, who had left to take a rest in the lounge next door, returned to the venue with her entourage, which meant that this morning's talks had begun again.
