Chapter 898: The Peak of Morality
In fact, as long as the United States and Huaxia agree, there will be no problem for Tang Feng to actually host the island.
The United States is the world's number one superpower, far surpassing other countries in terms of economic strength and military strength.
And in the vicinity of Princess Belle Island, it is all American territory. Princess Belle Island is bordered by the Aleutian Islands of the United States to the north, Ogasawara Islands to the west, Wake Island to the south, and Hawaiian Islands and Midway Island to the east and southeast. It can be said that Princess Belle Island is actually an island surrounded by Americans.
Under such a geographical location, even if China or Russia wanted to get their hands on the island, the chances were quite slim. With the unreasonable character of the Americans, if China and Russia want to occupy Princess Belle Island, the possibility of a local war will be very high.
Is it worth it to fight the United States for an island that hangs off the coast? Of course it doesn't make sense. Whether it is the United States, China, or Russia, they are all nuclear powers, and who can be sure that they can control the bottom limit of such a local war? In case there is a real fire and they grow mushrooms with each other, then things will be a big deal.
No one can say for sure, the United States and the former Soviet Union almost misfired in Cuba, and millions of megaton mushroom bombs were ready to be launched on nuclear submarines, almost causing a great destruction of the earth.
Who can guarantee that if a local war breaks out over Princess Belle Island, it will eventually lead to several nuclear powers planting mushrooms with each other?
Therefore, it is estimated that the Americans, China and Russia will not fight for Princess Belle Island. As for the British and French, who cares about them at this time?
It is precisely the pulse of these major nuclear powers that has been clarified. Tang Feng dared to do such a fire-splitting thing. After all, Tang Feng still has a big name on his head, that is, the United Nations.
Although the United Nations is in fact a JJ of a mule, in some respects, the name of the United Nations is quite effective. It's as if Tang Feng used the name of the United Nations to occupy the island this time.
The United Nations Convention on the Sea is recognized by the whole world, even by the Americans, so it is in accordance with the provisions of the Convention. Any new islands found in the world will be placed under the trust of the United Nations. This is also recognized by the world.
After all, after the promulgation of the Convention, there has never been an island as large as Princess Belle Island on this planet, except for the "new island" near Nishinoshima Island in the Ogasawara Islands due to volcanic eruptions.
Now Princess Belle Island has suddenly appeared on a rather large island. Is the Convention enforceable?
Tang Feng was the first to eat crabs.
Of course, Tang Feng, a crab eater, first got himself a big hat to put on, so that he could stand at the top of morality first. Although we were the first to land on this island, we did not declare sovereignty over Princess Belle Island, but we uphold the Convention, so those countries that want to occupy this island are those who want to occupy this island. are contrary to the Convention.
This alone gave Tang Feng enough advance and retreat.
Coupled with Tang's current status and economic strength in the United States. Tang Feng is still very sure of persuading George W. Bush.
Sure enough, although George W. Bush verbally agreed to Tang, he was strongly opposed by the vice president and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the emergency meeting that followed. However, the speakers of the Senate and the House of Representatives were vague and did not make any clear recommendations.
But that afternoon. The Senate and House of Representatives held their respective emergency consultations, and although they were not formal voting sessions, the debates at the meetings were extremely intense.
The infiltration of the Tang clan in the Senate and House of Representatives in the United States is quite powerful, coupled with the strength of the three major families and Tang Feng's allies in the Senate and House of Representatives, which led to this result. After all, there are a lot of senators and representatives who are also thinking about it. Is it worth it to offend a powerful tycoon for the sake of an island that didn't exist before?
In the past, there was no Princess Belle Island, but now that there is, it doesn't have much to do with its own interests. Besides, Tang Feng is an American citizen with a U.S. passport, and he still has the name of the United Nations on his head. If you don't agree to the armed occupation of Princess Belle Island, it will definitely not offend Tang Feng, and it will not cause any harm to your existing interests. But if you agree, then you will definitely offend the tycoon who made a decisive move, and you won't get any benefit.
In contrast, it is naturally clear how those parliamentarians choose.
Although the Senate and House of Representatives meetings did not reach any results, this heated controversy also reached the ears of George W. Bush. Obviously, even if the president of the United States wants to use force to occupy Princess Belle Island, he must obtain the authorization of the Senate and the House of Representatives. However, the current situation has shown that even if the president submits an application for a vote to the Senate and the House of Representatives, I am afraid that the Senate and the House of Representatives will not necessarily be able to pass it under the current circumstances.
Instead of doing this kind of thing that is not sure and offends Tang Feng, it is better to be a single person and directly acquiesce to the fact that Tang Feng hosts Princess Belle Island. Really offended that madman, God knows what he would do.
As for Huaxia's side, it's actually easier to do. After all, Princess Belle Island is an island hanging over the sea, and Huaxia has not even broken through the first island chain now, even if it occupies this island, how much of a role can it play?
As for Russia, the situation is similar to that of China. Russia's core interests are in Europe, and for the Far East, to be honest, with Russia's current strength, it is really more than enough and not enough. If it is said that the four northern islands of Ben are not in a good way, if they take over such a hot potato as Princess Belle Island, it will be quite uneconomical for Russia.
On the one hand, it is an island of little significance, and on the other hand, it is at risk of a local war with the United States, and it is clear which of the two is more important.
As for Ben and Britain and France on the other side of the world, they are basically negligible. Big Brother America doesn't speak, what reason do you three have for it? In addition, Britain, France and Japan are still begging Tang Feng in terms of nuclear waste disposal, and it is obviously not appropriate to offend Tang Feng for this island at this time.
It is for this reason that Tang's communication with China and Russia, as well as with Britain and France, is relatively smooth.
After a day and a night of emergency communication, early the next morning, the reporters who rushed to Princess Belle Island from all over the world, who were so dedicated that they were not even afraid of death, finally met Tang Feng on the desolate Princess Belle Island.
(PS: This section of the island is also YY, if there is really such an island in reality, its strategic significance must be quite important, it is estimated that the major powers have to be beaten into dog brains.) Let's this is a novel.,It's fun for the big guy to watch.,Haha laugh.,Don't take it seriously) (To be continued.。 )
