Chapter 277: The South China Sea Is Very Important (Part II)

Many people have the same doubts as Ye Chen, the South China Sea used to be very calm, why did it suddenly become hot?

The United States first dragged a small third-rate country to brew a so-called arbitration case, which is extremely unfavorable to our country. It stands to reason that www.biquge.info United States has occupied the so-called legal high ground and has a great advantage, and can take advantage of the situation to suppress our country.

However, a series of events that happened next surprised the world and was very unexpected.

As soon as the outcome of the so-called arbitration case came out, the international tribunal immediately set aside that it was not their work and that it had nothing to do with them. This alone is enough to make this so-called arbitration case more questionable and its credibility greatly reduced.

Then, the Southeast Asian countries almost one-sidedly fell to our country, all of them cautiously, for fear of making our country angry.

Except for Little Japan and Stick, two small followers of the United States, no country has mentioned this matter anymore.

Even the parties to the so-called arbitration case have turned against us.

This series of events has caused countless people to shatter their lenses, why is there such a dramatic change?

Ye Chen's question was exactly what everyone was thinking, Zhuang Lao and Xiao Lingyue and Liu Zhilong stared at General Liu.

As for Zhao Baiwen, he is a military person, and he must know the reason.

"Xiao Ye, to put it mildly, we are fighting for control of the South China Sea, and to put it mildly, we are fighting for Australia." Admiral Liu's words are amazing and very winding.

Ye Chen and the others were dumbfounded, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Fighting for the South China Sea is fighting for the South China Sea, how can it be linked to fighting for Australia?

After a long time, Ye Chen came back to his senses and said, "Chief, what you said is too far-fetched, right?" ”

"It's a bit of a twist, but when I explain it clearly, you'll understand." Admiral Liu also admitted that his words were a little twisty, and said: "Let's talk about the South China Sea first. Why fight for the South China Sea? There are three main reasons. First, the South China Sea has been our inherent territorial waters since ancient times, and we must take it back. The second is economic interests, and the third is the global strategy. ”

Ye Chen knew that next Shang Liu would conduct a very in-depth analysis, and his ears were erected.

Sure enough, Admiral Liu began to analyze it and said: "It is our inherent territorial waters, there is no need to say this, we can all understand it." If we can't get back the precious legacy left to us by our ancestors, then we are sinners of history. ”

Ye Chen and the others thought deeply of this statement, and they agreed very much, and said, "That's right. ”

"Since the end of World War II, our country has been working to recover the islands and reefs in the South China Sea. At that time, we didn't have a navy, Xiao Ye, as you know, the navy of the Nationalist Government at that time was completely wiped out during the Anti-Japanese War. Our country's army took American warships to recover it. Admiral Liu said very firmly: "At that time, our country was so weak, and we were all committed to recovering the South China Sea, let alone us now?" ”

Our country's navy was completely wiped out by small Japan at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, and at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, there were no ships to transport troops. It is under such difficult conditions that our country is recovering the South China Sea.

Not to mention, with our current strength, if we can't recover the South China Sea, we will be the sinners of history.

Ye Chen and the others agreed with this very much, and nodded heavily.

"Before, we did not recover, it was because the strength of our country was not good, and the navy was not good." Admiral Liu said sadly: "Over the years, we have been building a blue-water navy, and we want to go to the deep blue, although our naval strength is not strong enough, it is not a problem to recover the South China Sea." So, we set out to reclaim the South China Sea. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "Why do the normal activities of our country affect the nerves of so many countries?" It is understandable that Southeast Asian countries have jumped out, after all, they are stakeholders. The little Japanese stick and the United States also jumped out, why is that? ”

This is also a puzzling question, because the Southeast Asian countries have forcibly occupied many of our islands, and we want to recover them, but they do not agree and want to make trouble, which is understandable. After all, no one wants to spit out the meat they eat in their mouth.

As for the little Japanese stick and the United States also jumping up and down, indiscriminately accusing our country, it is really incomprehensible.

A lot of people can't figure it out.

"It's about the economy and security." Admiral Liu explained: "The South China Sea is the busiest water area in the world today, and some foreign media lamented that thousands of ships of materials purchased by our country overseas have passed through the South China Sea and transported to our country. And that's just for now, as our country grows stronger, the busyness of the South China Sea will take to the next level. ”

Now our country's economy has achieved remarkable results, but it is not enough. Over time, the economic strength of our country will become stronger. By then, the South China Sea will be even busier.

Until now, 25% of the world's maritime trade has passed through the South China Sea. In the future, as the economic power of our country grows, this percentage will increase.

The economic stakes are enormous.

"The sentiments of the foreign media have well illustrated the importance of the South China Sea to our country." Admiral Liu said: "The economic lifeblood of our country cannot be controlled by others. ”

Anyone can understand this, Ye Chen interjected, and said: "Especially the Strait of Malacca, which is controlled by the United States, is equivalent to choking our necks, and we have to worry." The recovery of the South China Sea has become an inevitable trend. ”

"That's right." Admiral Liu was very appreciative and said: "After the South China Sea is controlled by us, will the United States be willing?" Surely it will not be reconciled. Because the United States has lost a good opportunity to choke our necks. ”

The Strait of Malacca has always been controlled by the United States, which makes our country very uneasy. Although the United States says that it is international waters and can be navigated freely, who will believe this kind of nonsense? Whoever believes is stupid.

Because this is in peacetime, once war breaks out, the United States will definitely control the Strait of Malacca at the first time and cut off our country's overseas trade.

Haven't so many wars been done like this in history?

"The United States wants to choke us by the neck and establish more strategic advantages, so why is Japan jumping off and jumping?" Ye Chen asked.

Japan is far away from the South China Sea, and it is not a party to the South China Sea issue at all, and it has to jump up and down, and it has been mentioned many times in diplomatic occasions, and our country's response is also quite interesting.

"Japan is an island nation, and the lifeblood of an island nation is on the sea. Moreover, Japan is still an island country with extremely scarce resources, and 90 percent of Japan's resources have to be imported. Seventy percent of these imported resources go through the South China Sea. If our country controls the South China Sea, little Japan's neck will be stuck by us. Admiral Liu smiled playfully and said, "At that time, we will be able to handle little Japan as we want." ”

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Chief, this is like when Germany besieged Britain with submarines during World War II?" ”

During World War II, German submarines used the "wolf pack tactic" and knocked out many British transport ships, almost suffocating the British. Just when Britain was about to run out, the United States intervened, and President Roosevelt ordered strikes on German ships, undeclared war.

This saved the British.

"That's right." Admiral Liu said with a smile: "At that time, we only need to move a little bit in the South China Sea, and little Japan will not be able to eat and walk around." So, little Japan was scared. Of course, there are also plans for little Japan to do so. There is also the implication that the United States wants to pull Japan to cheer it on. ”

Ye Chen finally understood, and said, "The stick is similar to Little Japan." ”

Admiral Liu nodded and said, "That's right. This is the economic and security issue involved in the South China Sea, so as soon as we recover the South China Sea, the United States will not be able to sit still, jump out, and compete with us. ”

The admiral deserved to be a general, and his views convinced Ye Chen and them, and they only felt that they had benefited a lot.

"So, what about the global strategy?" Ye Chen asked hopefully.

Admiral Liu just said that the South China Sea is to fight for the South China Sea, to put it mildly, the South China Sea; At worst, it's us competing for Australia. When Admiral Liu said this, he only explained the contention for the South China Sea thoroughly, which is a small statement.

This explanation is very exciting, Ye Chen never thought of it, then, to put it mildly, striving for Australia will definitely be more exciting.

Zhuang Lao, Xiao Lingyue and Liu Zhilong also looked at General Liu with blank eyes.

"Xiaoye, the geographical location of the South China Sea is very important." Admiral Liu began to explain, saying: "We control the South China Sea, and the Strait of Malacca is close at hand, and it is impossible for the United States to try to choke us by the neck if it wants to do it before." At that time, if the United States dares to threaten us with Malacca again, it will be a big deal for us to fight and fight. ”

The Straits of Malacca is a golden waterway and is the busiest waterway in the world. The threat to our country is not small, and before, we did not have the strength to take care of it. Now that we have the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca is close at hand, we can ensure that our country's overseas trade is not threatened.

"Further ahead, it's Australia." Admiral Liu concluded: "So, we are clearly fighting for the South China Sea now, but in fact we are already preparing to fight for Australia. ”

"I see." Ye Chen suddenly said: "The South China Sea is equivalent to a springboard for our country to go to the world, and it is also the first threshold. If our country can't control the South China Sea, what can we talk about going to the world? What else to talk about to protect the frontier of interests? ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Admiral Liu and Zhao Baiwen applauded and cheered for Ye Chen.

"That's right." Admiral Liu stopped applauding and said: "There is another very important reason for our country in the South China Sea, that is, it is a matter of life and death for our country. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Chen was very surprised and said, "Economy and security are very important, isn't this a major matter related to the life and death of our country?" ”

"Of course." Admiral Liu nodded heavily and said, "Economy and security are very important, but for our country, it is not a matter of life and death. The real matter of life and death, that is, strategic nuclear submarines. ”

"Strategic nuclear submarines?" Ye Chen couldn't figure it out, and said, "This has something to do with the South China Sea?" ”

"It's not just related, it's also very important." Admiral Liu said with a smile.

"Tell me about it." Ye Chen said eagerly.
