On the morning of the sixth day when Fan Wuxian and the two girls were trapped on the island, the sound of a roaring motor could be heard on the sea in the distance.

Through the observation of the telescope, Fan Wuxian saw a small yacht of the same model as his own yacht, and in addition to being surprised, he found something that made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

"How, who is it? Do you see it clearly? Shen Ying asked on the side.

In the past few days, the two girls are not very worried, since there are helicopters passing by from time to time, it means that there are already people paying attention to this small island, so it is not a trouble for these people to get out of trouble, but they have to choose someone they can trust.

Fan Wuxian handed the telescope to Shen Ying and Ye Jiarong, "Take a look for yourself." โ€

Shen Ying took the binoculars, glanced at them from the barrel, and immediately said, "Oh, plaster flag." โ€

Ye Jiarong also glanced at it, and said with some confusion, "Japanese devils? Why are they here too? โ€

All three of them were confused, watching the yacht with the plaster flag stop on the beach, and then someone jumped down, and someone moved something down, there were three people in total, one of whom seemed to be a photographer, two of them, one with a big belly and looked like a bureaucrat, and the other was a young and strong adult.

Their common feature is that Dou has a strip of white cloth wrapped around his head, and it is not clear what words are written on it, even if Fan Wuxian can speak a little Japanese, he can't read those tampered flat business cards and pseudonyms.

"Let's see what they're doing firstโ€”" Fan Wuxian said after thinking for a moment.

One of the devils set up the camera in place, and then the two devils made an impassioned speech to the camera, and then the big-bellied devil who looked like a bureaucrat solemnly took out a plaster flag, and inserted the alloy flagpole into a more solid position on the ground, and the younger one used a hammer to help him accomplish this feat.

"!" Seeing this, Fan Wuxian understood what these devils were doing.

China and Japan have many disputes over sovereignty over islands in the East China Sea, the most famous of which is the Diaoyu Islands, and what is happening in front of us is obviously the same problem, and the other side should have brought a cameraman to the island to claim its ownership of the deserted island.

The East China Sea is a marginal sea surrounded by Chinese mainland, Taiwan Island, the Korean Peninsula, Japan's Kyushu and the Ryukyu Islands, with the Tsushima Strait in the northeast, the Taiwan Strait in the southwest, and the Pacific Ocean in the east, covering an area of 750,000 square kilometers.

China and Japan are the world's second and third largest oil consumers respectively, and according to the estimation of the "Outlook" magazine, the East China Sea oil field contains 25 billion tons of oil, and the domestic annual oil consumption is less than 300 million tons, that is, the oil content of the East China Sea can be used by China for 80 years, which shows that the content is huge, and the natural gas resources are more abundant, so not only China regards it as an important strategic resource for the rise and fall of the country, but Japan, which has an energy self-sufficiency rate of only 4 percent, regards the East China Sea oil field as a place to fight to the death.

In accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a coastal State may make the sea area within 200 nautical miles its exclusive economic zone, starting from the coastal baseline, and all resources in the exclusive economic zone shall be owned by the coastal State.

Many of the waters in the East China Sea between China and Japan are only 360 nautical miles wide at their widest point, creating large areas of disputed water.

The Japanese side proposed the principle of dividing the two countries according to the median line, and no one will suffer losses. China, on the other hand, believes that there is no such thing as a middle line. The division of oil resources in the East China Sea is based on the provisions of Part VI of the United Nations Law of the Sea, "Continental Shelf," which can extend up to 350 nautical miles from shore, but if the depth exceeds 2,500 meters, it is not considered an extension of the continental shelf.

These two articles can completely stifle Japan's claim for oil and gas resources in the East China Sea, and can legally guarantee the legality of China's oil exploitation in the East China Sea. Because there is an Okinawa Trough at a depth of more than 2,900 meters on the seabed from Okinawa in Japan to the west, the existence of the trough has become a fatal limit for Japan to extend its continental shelf westward to the upper limit of 350 nautical miles. China does not have this problem, so the sovereignty of the continental shelf claimed by the Chinese side extends all the way to the Okinawa Trough, where it is separated from Japan.

Of course, it is impossible for the Japanese to accept this reality, and they shamelessly throw out strange theories about the straw effect, believing that according to the "middle line" plan set by them, most of the oil stored in the oil and gas resources stored on the bottom of the East China Sea will be stored on the Japanese side of the middle line, and the Chinese side will be like a straw to extract the oil stored on the Chinese side of the middle line, and will also take advantage of the situation to suck away the resources stored on the Japanese side, thus causing losses to Japan's national interests.

Accordingly, the Japanese authorities are required to take measures as soon as possible to compete with China for this piece of undersea oil cake. In this regard, Chinese experts retorted that Iraq borrowed this theory when it invaded Kuwait, and this theory is no longer tenable in the international community, and from our intuitive understanding, the continental shelf is high in the west and low in the east, and oil as a liquid thing, even if it does flow, then it will flow from China to Japan, and it is impossible to flow backwards.

Japan has always advocated the use of an equidistant median line between land to demarcate the continental shelf in the East China Sea between China and Japan, and the scope of the so-called "continental shelf" surveyed is nine sea areas around the Ogasawara Islands, Minamitorishima, and Okinotori Reef in the eastern and southeastern Pacific Oceans, as well as the Diaoyu Islands in Chinese territory and the disputed Takeshima Island between Japan and South Korea, with a total area of 650,000 square kilometers, equivalent to 1.7 times the land area of Japan.

There is a difference between the area of Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) based on Japan's "median line" and China's claim for the "natural extension of the continental shelf" principle, which is equivalent to the area of three Zhejiang provinces.

Therefore, the leaders of the previous generation once said that the Chinese all know that China has a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, and even the little doll knows what is written in the primary school textbooks, and even the little doll knows that it cannot become 9.3 million square kilometers in the hands of Mao, and 300,000 square kilometers are missing out of thin air, and you cannot let me go to see my ancestors on the charge of traitor.

However, Japan's attempt to expand its exclusive economic zone through the "median line" and forcibly divide its continental shelf with China lacks a legal basis under international law. At the beginning, the Federal Republic of Germany had a dispute with Denmark and the Netherlands over the ownership of the continental shelf in the North Sea. The Federal Republic of Germany has the least continental shelf if it is divided by the median line, but in fact the continental shelf of the North Sea extends mostly from the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the end, the International Court of Justice ruled in favour of the Federal Republic of Germany, thus establishing the principle of the natural extension of territory.

It is precisely because of these disputes that the ownership of various large and small islands in the East China Sea has always been a contentious place between China and Japan, but they did not expect that the Japanese would come to this unknown desert island again to proclaim their sovereignty.

Although Fan Wuxi 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 suddenly couldn't hold it back.

"It's too much, it's really unbearable for my aunt and unbearable for my uncle! You stay here, I'll clean them up! Fan Wuxian held the camping shovel and said to Shen Ying and Ye Jiarong with anger on his face.

Shen Ying and Ye Jiarong also understood what the other party was doing at this time, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Go ahead, we support you morally!" But can we do something about it? โ€

Fan Wuxian thought about it for a while, and immediately had an idea, what he wanted to get his hands on most now was the yacht over there, but he couldn't be sure if there were any people left behind on the yacht? If you rush over and put down the three devils, maybe the people on the yacht will run away, and then you will lose the opportunity to leave the island.

"Don't say it, you guys can really helpโ€”" Fan Wuxi frowned, thought about it, and said to Shen Ying and Ye Jiarong.

The three Japanese who landed on the island this time really came to preach their sovereignty.

Originally, the sovereignty of this desert island also belonged to the quarrel, but the two governments were relatively restrained and took the road of making a fortune in a muffled voice, first focusing on the development of their own resources and shelving the dispute.

However, the parliamentarians of Japan's opposition parties have always been willing to stir up the issue of sovereignty over these small islands; first, for the Japanese people who lack resources, the struggle for sovereignty is a struggle for resources, which must be supported with both hands and feet, and second, they can also use this to elevate their political status and create momentum for canvassing votes.

This time, because of the general resignation of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) cabinet, the opposition legislators are all gearing up for ambition and want a piece of the pie in this incident, so it is particularly important to build momentum for themselves in advance.

The big-bellied guy who looked like a bureaucrat was a member of parliament from Akita Prefecture in Japan, named Koyama Konda, who brought a TV reporter and his assistant and drove a yacht here to put on a show, the purpose of which was nothing more than hoping that he could achieve good results in this general election.

However, the three of them were recording a documentary here, and Koyama Konda was impassionedly announcing to the camera the significance of his landing on a desert island and the policy of his campaign, when he heard the shouts of girls in the distance along the gust of sea breeze.

"Nani?" Koyama Konda was stunned for a moment, and when the three of them put down what they were doing, and when they turned their heads to look at the island, they found that on the edge of the jungle, about two hundred meters away, two young and beautiful girls were waving at him. There are no pop-ups
