After Fan Wuxian provoked the tense atmosphere of the maritime conflict between Japan and South Korea, even if he had completed his set task, his actions actually exceeded his father Fan Heng's expectations.

Originally, Fan Heng asked him to represent the civil forces to express the domestic demand for China's maritime rights and interests, but he did not expect that he would rush into the disputed waters between the two sides in full armor, and also use torpedoes to sink the other side's maritime patrol boats, which he did not imagine.

In fact, there is a reason why Fan Wuzhi did this, mainly because China's current power and strength are not enough to support the participation of non-governmental forces in this kind of conflict.

Overall, there is a big gap between China's maritime rights enforcement capabilities and similar institutions in neighboring countries.

China has nearly 3 million square kilometers of maritime territory, of which the exclusive economic zone and continental shelf under China's jurisdiction reach more than 2.6 million square kilometers.

Among them, the China Maritime Surveillance Corps, which is subordinate to the State Oceanic Administration, is mainly responsible for patrolling and monitoring the waters under China's jurisdiction, and investigating and dealing with violations of illegal use of sea areas, sabotage of maritime facilities, and disruption of maritime order. In recent years, it has become one of the important responsibilities of maritime surveillance departments to protect foreign rights and enforce the law, such as monitoring foreign illegal scientific expeditions in China's exclusive economic zone, continental shelf and disputed sea areas, and reconnaissance by foreign troops.

The Maritime Surveillance has three corps in the Beihai, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea, and has more than 20 law enforcement vessels of various types.

The MSA under the Ministry of Communications is mainly responsible for national water safety supervision and prevention of ship pollution, inspection of ships and offshore installations, and maritime safety and life-saving.

The public security border guard and coast guard force, which is under the jurisdiction of the Border Defense Administration of the Ministry of Public Security, is mainly tasked with maintaining public order in the waters under its jurisdiction, and is also the most quasi-militarized force among maritime law enforcement agencies.

Generally speaking, China's maritime law enforcement forces are still in their infancy, far from meeting the needs of managing maritime territory, unable to calmly cope with the complex situation of rights protection and law enforcement in large areas, and lacking the ability to quickly deal with large-scale emergencies at sea.

Compared with China, neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea have long achieved the paramilitarization of maritime law enforcement forces.

At present, the Japan Coast Guard has jurisdiction over 11 administrative regions and two specialized training institutes, the Coast Guard University and the Coast Guard School, and has more than 500 patrol ships of various types and more than 70 aircraft, including more than 10 large patrol ships of more than 3,000 tons.

The Korea Maritime Guard Agency has divided the surrounding waters into 13 interconnected security areas, and has established 13 local coast guard stations accordingly. At present, it has more than 260 garrison ships of various types, including 13 garrison vessels of more than 1,000 tons. According to the plan, within three years, the South Korean Coast Guard will have eight new ships of more than 1,000 tons under construction or into service.

Although the Vietnam Coast Guard is weak and has small tonnage vessels, it is often accompanied by dozens of armed fishing vessels for each large-scale foreign-related operation. These armed fishing boats are basically active military personnel of the Vietnamese Navy, and they are not only equipped with submachine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, machine guns, and even individual anti-tank rocket launchers.

In contrast, China's maritime surveillance, maritime affairs, fishery administration, and even coast guard forces are not sufficient to compete with the maritime paramilitary forces of neighboring countries in terms of ship tonnage, weaponry, personnel and military quality, and confrontation experience.

In order to achieve control over the exclusive economic zone and the waters of the continental shelf, especially the disputed waters, China's neighboring countries have integrated their naval and maritime law enforcement forces to strengthen cooperation and ties between the two. On the other hand, in the use of force, intelligence sharing and joint surveillance patrols are emphasized.

For example, the Japan Coast Guard overlaps its area with the Maritime Self-Defense Force's security area. Under normal circumstances, the Japan Coast Guard will handle maritime incidents, and SDF ships will provide support and cooperation. In the disputed waters of the Diaoyu Islands, the Coast Guard can also coordinate the participation of SDF ships in emergency operations depending on the situation, and the two sides conduct dozens of joint training sessions of various types every year.

After the Sino-Japanese dispute over the delimitation of the East China Sea heated up, the number of joint patrols between the Coast Guard and the Maritime Self-Defense Force increased rapidly, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force also dispatched ships to assist the Security Agency in its activities on many occasions.

South Korea, on the other hand, has adopted a tripartite maritime security system of the coast guard, navy, and air force, in which coast guard vessels first carry out surveillance and inspection of the approach of fishing in the exclusive economic zone and control of Dokdo's waters, while naval vessels undertake vigilance and fire support tasks and are ready to join combat operations at any time.

In recent years, the ROK has paid more attention to the use of the navy and coast guard forces to jointly protect its marine resources, and the ROK Navy and the Coast Guard Agency have jointly decided to change the patrol area of coast guard ships from territorial waters to exclusive economic zones, focusing on blocking and blocking illegal fishing by fishermen from other countries, and building a special law enforcement system of naval cover and coast guard capture.

It is precisely because the domestic maritime garrison force is insufficient to deal with the forces of Japan and South Korea that Fan Wuxian will adopt the strategy of sowing discord and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and successfully provoke a maritime conflict between Japan and South Korea.

Compared with China, which is very weak at sea, the Japanese are very wary of the South Korean Navy, which is constantly improving in strength.

Therefore, when the news of the sinking of the maritime patrol boat was transmitted back to the base, the Japanese side immediately dispatched five helicopter gunships to the area where the accident occurred to rescue the Self-Defense Forces who had fallen into the water.

Although the Japanese who sank in the water were rather embarrassed, they were all professionally trained, and they were much better than ordinary people in this respect, and nothing serious happened, but two members of the maritime patrol boat were injured in the explosion, and the situation was very serious, and they were taken back by helicopter for treatment.

The rest of the people with the help of the helicopter, the rubber boat turned over, and then lay on it panting, except for the loss of equipment, the rubber boat can still be used, after a period of rest, there are people on the helicopter to help them drive the rubber boat back.

In front of them, patrol boats were already responding to them, and those who were about to arrive behind were supported by missile destroyers and other support forces of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

"It's a Koryo stick!" The captain of the patrol boat, who had climbed into the water and was sunk by a torpedo, complained indignantly to the commander who came to their rescue.

"It's a Koryo stick!" More members of the Self-Defense Forces who climbed up from the water complained.

"Is there any evidence?" The commander is still relatively calm.

"Thisβ€”" The captain immediately removed the lifebuoy he was wearing and handed it to the commander.

The commander frowned and took the ** lifebuoy, and when he saw the subtle Korean letters on the inside, he immediately jumped up, "This is a provocation!" It's war! This is a naked violation of the maritime rights and interests of Greater Japan! ”

However, the adjutants next to him were calmer, pulled him down, and then muttered in a low voice, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is just evidence, as for whether it is a war or not, it is not up to us to decide." ”

The commander also felt that his emotions were a little too aggressive, so he calmed down and asked, "Is there any other evidence?" ”

"Yes!" More than a dozen people who fell into the water took out the lifebuoys they had picked up and lifted them together.

"Uh, yo-hey!" The Commander nodded.

In fact, more than a dozen lifebuoys are not important evidence, the most important thing should be the sunken patrol boat, according to common sense, it can be inferred that there are so many countries that can produce torpedoes, especially those that can be exported to this side are even less, through the analysis of the fragments of torpedoes that attack patrol boats, you can generally find clues and know the true identity of the attacker.

Therefore, at this time, the commander was not in a hurry to put the hat of the attack patrol boat on the head of the South Koreans, and in his opinion, if there was a conflict in this sea area, and the other side of the conflict was Chinese, it would obviously be more beneficial to Japan's strategy in the East China Sea.

After all, in recent times, the dispute between China and Japan over the oil and gas fields in the East China Sea has become more and more serious, and the conflict has continued.

However, if today's matter is to be held on the head of the Chinese, it will obviously help the ongoing Sino-Japanese diplomatic talks, at least so that the Japanese can be aggressive in the negotiations, occupy the height of righteousness, and gain greater support in the media.

As for how to toss, it depends on what the politicians in Congress think.

At this time, Fan Wuxian had already returned to China, first collected his yacht, modified and sprayed the outside, and the internal weapons and equipment were dismantled and returned to the warehouse, and then Shi Shiran returned to Shanghai.

On the third day after Fan Wuzhi returned to Shanghai, the Japanese began to attack, pointing the finger at the Koreans across the sea, accusing the Koreans of sending modified armed yachts and using German-made torpedoes to sink their own maritime patrol boats.

As soon as this news was issued, it immediately shook the entire international community.

There are no pop-ups
