"A few days ago, it was confirmed that the Japanese side had found explosive components used to make torpedoes on the sunken patrol boat. The relevant details were communicated to the media. ”

Fan Wuxian sat in his headquarters in Shanghai, watching the morning news.

According to Kyodo News, Japan's joint investigation team concluded that the traces of gunpowder found in the hull of the sunken maritime patrol boat were traces left by the explosion of the torpedo warhead.

A senior official of the Japanese government's Ministry of Defense also said on the same day that the gunpowder detected on the broken surface of the maritime patrol boat and the bottom surface of the seabed that had come into contact with the broken surface of the stern was cyclotrimethyltrinitroamine, which is usually used in torpedoes, so the joint investigation team concluded that the torpedo explosion caused the shipwreck.

The official also said that the mission is conducting a detailed analysis of the origin of the torpedo in order to find the killer at the source.

However, the official cautiously expressed his personal opinion to the media, arguing that although the information obtained from the lifebuoys obtained by the crew members of the water showed that the lifebuoys belonged to the South Korean maritime authorities, it could not be determined that the Koreans must have attacked the Japanese maritime patrol boat, and everything was pending the availability of new evidence to support it.

At the same time, Japan's relevant media have also reported on some recent disputes between South Korea and Japan over sea power and sovereignty over the islands to which they belong, and their intentions are naturally self-evident.

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

Regarding the fact that Japan and South Korea did not misfire, Fan Wuxian still felt a little regretful.

It has been more than a week since the sinking of the Japanese maritime patrol boat, and the wreckage has been salvaged, but it is somewhat puzzling that their investigation has not made a substantial breakthrough for a long time. In fact. According to the current level of science and technology, the investigation is not very difficult, and the reason why they have not dared to fully disclose the cause of the sinking and point out the mastermind behind it is not so much a technical problem as a political consideration.

As a matter of fact, at this time, it can be inferred from various indications that the Japanese government and the opposition have already believed that it was the South Koreans who sank the Japanese maritime patrol boat, but the authorities did not dare to issue an official statement, pointing out that the South Korea was the murderer. This is because Japanese public opinion will inevitably demand that the government send troops to retaliate, but 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, and under the fundamental principle of putting US national interests first, Japan is simply unable to mobilize its military strength to retaliate against South Korea. Therefore, the Japanese side can only dilute the people's mood by delaying the investigation, so as to reduce the pressure on the government in this matter.

It's just that the non-governmental media in Japan have always been relatively open, and it is more difficult to control public opinion at this time, and everyone means that the Koreans must be made to pay the price, and the Japanese government is bitter and cannot say it.

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

Former chief of staff An Byung-tae, who is known as the father of the ROK Ocean Navy, once pointed out that the combat strength of the ROK Navy is only about 30 percent that of Japan.

At present, the total tonnage of South Korean ships is 130,000 tons, and Japan's is 430,000 tons. The ratio of the number of surface ships of more than 3,000 tons in 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 ROK Navy has 40 combat ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, while the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force has more than 30 ships of more than 3,000 tons.

Japan has 16 submarines, while the ROK Navy currently has 10 submarines. Japan has more than ninety anti-submarine aircraft, South Korea has only eight. The ROK Navy has more than 40 helicopters, while the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has more than 90 helicopters.

The ROK Air Force has more than 500 fighters of various types, but they are of a lower level, and their combat capability and time are relatively short, although the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force has only more than 360 fighters, but most of them are high-performance fighters and have the ability to refuel in the air.

Japan has four E-767 and 13 E-2C early warning planes, which can be well aware of the movements of the ROK Air Force 350 kilometers away, while the ROK Air Force currently does not have its own AWACS aircraft. In the event of an air battle, the ROK Air Force will be able to get the help of long-range radars in the vicinity, but the detection range is far less than that of Japanese AWACS aircraft.

In terms of the comparison of military strength, if Japan takes advantage of this incident to strike at South Korea, it will have a great advantage. However, because of the factors of the United States, coupled with Japan's view of the defeated country in World War II, the war-weariness of the people, and the high concern 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 it may be its master, the Americans, who will take action first, and the Americans will absolutely not allow the triad to fight between the two major territories under their actual control, and it will be the interests of the Americans that will be lost.

As the two most important countries in the first island chain to contain China and Russia, Japan and South Korea are all strategic bases of the Americans' toolbox, and there is no room for loss in any place, let alone any Japan and South Korea, and the Americans will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

Although he regrets this result, Fan Wuzhi is also helpless, in fact, he is generally satisfied with the result of this incident, at least for now, the attention of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force is focused on the South Korean side, and there is no longer any strength to harass China's oil and gas field projects in the East China Sea.

However, the more troublesome thing is that Japan's patrol force at sea has also been strengthened, and in a short period of time, Fan Wuji's plan to organize manpower to operate in the sovereign waters claimed by the Chinese side cannot be realized.

But when I was having lunch, my father Fan Heng called over, "Have you paid attention to the incident of the maritime conflict between Japan and South Korea?" ”

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

"If you fight, it's not good. It's hard to guarantee that it won't cause us trouble, it's them who fight, and the more people will be affected, and the Americans will have more headaches, and then there will inevitably be a six-party talks or something, where will we have time to talk about this kind of thing all the time? Even if it's 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 get involved with others?" Fan Wuxian muttered.

"What kind of strange thing are you-" Fan Heng was very dissatisfied with this, but his next words were very in line with Fan Wuxi's habits, "This is to talk at home, and you can't talk nonsense outside, so that people will have ideas when they listen to it." ”

At this time, Fan Heng is not only a member of the Standing Committee, but also the executive vice premier, and the impact is naturally very different, although diplomacy is not within the scope of responsibility, but it is also necessary to be concerned from time to time, so of course I don't want such unreliable words to come out of his son's mouth, so that people have any dissatisfaction.

After all, the revolutionary work is only divided into different parts, and the pragmatic and retreat work is equally important, and without the efforts of the comrades on the diplomatic front, we would not be able to enter the permanent membership of the United Nations today.

"By the way, your operations at sea haven't started yet, have you? Recently, the wind has been tighter, and the situation in the East China Sea is tense. Don't compete with the Japanese for the time being, so you don't have to make any big trouble. Fan Heng finally said to his son.

"Uh-huh." Fan Wuxian agreed, but in his heart he wanted to say that you said this a little late, the things over there were indeed made by your son and me, but the force was more dexterous, which made the Japanese suspect that the Koreans were deliberately making things bad, but the Koreans thought that the Japanese were deliberately planting them, and this thing was done, hehe.

Fan Wuxian didn't tell his father about this, so that he wouldn't have to worry about himself after he found out. Generally, it is the safest to rot to the stomach, anyway, my purpose has been achieved.

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

"Well, you can do it, anyway, the monopoly industry is like that." Fan Wuxian has no opinion on this, because he knows very well that as a monopoly industry with huge interests, the government will definitely not allow others to get involved in the oil industry, otherwise, if he really allows himself to enter the petrochemical industry, it is estimated that the two major oil companies will have to go bankrupt in less than three years, but this is not what he is boasting about.

Whether it is from the grass-roots units, or from the top of the two major oil companies, they are eating monopoly food, although the courage to forge ahead cannot be said to be no, but there are very few, the competitiveness is even weaker outrageous, if there is no policy protection, there is really no way to live.

From this point of view, although the monopoly of the telecommunications industry is also very serious, there is still an atmosphere of competition between them, at least in terms of technological progress, much better than the two major oil companies.

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

However, although he does not have the opportunity and plan to enter the petrochemical industry at present, but in the long run, this day will appear sooner or later, so Fan Wuxian also feels that his choice of Lingxi Province as the first strategic development area in the new century is also very important, at least he can use his brains more in the periphery of the petrochemical industry, and various manufacturing equipment should be able to be launched first, once there is that opportunity, you can also enter this industry at any time.

Of course. This is more difficult, after all, the two major oil companies have monopolized a lot of oil and gas resources, and there are indeed very few things left in China.

There are no pop-ups
