Chapter 324: The Ryukyu War (I)
In addition, although the Ryukyu Kingdom was established, it actually controlled only one square kilometer of the main island of the Ryukyus, and the 19 islands under the original jurisdiction of Okinawa Prefecture are still in the hands of the Japanese government.

The 19 islands are Iriomote Island, Ishigaki Island, Miyako Island, Kume Island, Minami Daito Island, Irabu Island, Yonaguni Island, Ie Island, Iheiya Island, Tarama Island, Tokashiki Island, Isina Island, Hateruma Island, Kitaoto Island, Kuroshima, Shimoji Island, Kohama Island, Yaga Jiji, and Aguni Island.
Among them, the largest Iriomote Island is 289.28 square kilometers, the smallest Awano Island is also 7.64 square kilometers, and the Gulangyu Island of the Celestial Empire is only 1.91 square kilometers, so each of these islands is not small and is an important territory.
In addition to these islands, there are also the Amami Islands, which are currently under the administration of Kagoshima Prefecture, and are part of the Ryukyu Islands.
However, at present, these islands cannot be occupied, and all of them are under fire blockade by the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, and even if they are captured by force, because of the small size and small population of the islands, it is difficult to be able to defend them under the fire of the ships of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, so no troops were sent to occupy them.
The news of the establishment of the Ryukyu Kingdom stunned the world, and Okinawa, Japan, was a US military base in the eyes of the world, and an armed coup d'Γ©tat was taken to establish a new country, and many people thought that there was a shadow of the United States behind it.
Moreover, the Ryukyu Kingdom actually preached its own restoration of the Ryukyu tradition and respected the Ming Emperor as the symbol of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which inevitably makes people even more confused, is it the Ming Kingdom that is behind the scenes? But this is just conjecture, the Ming Kingdom is just a small country that can not be smaller, although the economy is powerful, but the military is recognized as a spicy chicken.
In response to this, the Japanese Government openly declared that the Ryukyu State was a puppet regime and refused to recognize the Ryukyu State, and the Japanese side unilaterally rebuked the Ming State, which dared to recognize the power of the Ryukyu State, holding that the Ming State's practice was very dangerous, seriously undermined the friendly relations between the two sides, and was irresponsible. At the same time, it was also reported that the Japanese government was gathering troops and intended to retake Okinawa in one fell swoop.
Zhu Wei only glanced at this kind of report and didn't look at it, dealing with little Japan, I don't care what you are calling at all.
At this moment, he is holding a new e-magazine in his hand, reading it carefully. This e-magazine is just an iPad, but this is not an ordinary iPad, but an excellent tablet produced by Wise Technology.
Loaded with the latest Zilong operating system, it can read dozens of formats of electronic books, which is the standard configuration of Mingguo universities, primary and secondary schools.
In the past two years, the Ming Kingdom has had a strong atmosphere of reading and a strong cultural atmosphere, as if there is a feeling of a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming.
This is because of the enlightened cultural policy of the Ming State, and it is also the pillar of the cultural prosperity of the Ming State, and at the same time, the democratic rights granted by the Ming State to the citizens of the Ming State in law provide a good external environment for the prosperity of ideology and culture.
Talents from all over the world are concentrated in the Ming Kingdom, and there are various ideas and cultures colliding with each other in the cultural melting pot of the Ming Kingdom, in just two years, the Ming Kingdom has given birth to the Huaibing Society, the Nanfeng Society, the Xiaoqiu Society, the Sanjia Society, the Dalu Society, the Rose Society, the Guangjian Society, the Guangyi Society, the Guangya Society, the Silent Society, the Bailu Society, the Qixiang Society, and other hundred cultural publishing houses and the journals of universities, middle schools and primary schools.
There are also "Shishi", "Dao", "University Digest", "Kyoto Administrative Herald", "Daming Monthly", "Young Women", "Sacred Language Decomposition", "Qianqiu", "Gezhi", "Minming", "Chaobao", "Fuxing", "Imperial Gazette", "Zhongxing Monthly", "Enlightenment", "Minshi", "Mirror", "Minsheng", "Nanfeng", "Zhihai", "Empire", "Advice", "Xinmin", "Zhoulun", "People's Guide", "Jianye Guobao Monthly", "World View", "View of the World" , "Advocacy and Criticism", "Juvenile Xing", "Bailu Monthly", "Heluo Industrial Collection", "Daming Industrial Collection", "New Finance", "Imperial Decree Magazine", "Insider News", "Current Affairs Review", "Popular Film Review", "Great Times", "Daming Human Resources Monthly", "Qixiang", "Boyhood", "Novel Sea", "Novel Monthly", "Novel Sea", "Novel Collection", "Imperial Youth", "Daming Herald", "National Daily", "Literature", "Datong", "Wenlan", There are hundreds of periodicals such as East Asian Literature and Art, World Economics and Politics, Tianxia Economics and Politics, Zhengfeng, and Modern Bible Reading.
Most of these periodicals do not publish paper editions, but like mainstream novels and comics, they are available to the public in electronic form for free or a moderate amount of symbolic symbols for paid reading.
These magazines have a more or less large readership in the culturally rich Ming Kingdom.
And what Zhu Wei has in his hand is the just-founded magazine "Current Affairs Weekly", which was founded by a professor of the Ming Kingdom with several students, published articles on it, and also responded to the Japanese side: The Ryukyu Kingdom has been a vassal state of the Ming State since ancient times, and it is a vassal territory of the Ming State, even if it does not belong to the Ming State, it is an independent sovereignty, which is beyond doubt; In the 19th century, the Japanese forcibly killed the Ryukyu king, and the annexation of the Ryukyus was an act of aggression, and the Ryukyu people had the right to choose their own future, and the Ming government was willing to accept the loyalty of the other party, which was in accordance with international law.
Moving on, it turns out that Kazuhiko Taohara, an associate professor at Okinawa International University, has become the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the new government, Shinako Kikawa has become the Minister of Finance of the new government, and Yasukatsu Matsushima has become the Minister of Justice of the new government.
Before Zhu Wei finished reading the article, his eyes were suddenly blindfolded by a pair of plain hands.
Zhang Yanran wore a caterpillar-like pajamas and came behind Zhu Wei. "Yanran, don't make trouble."
"It's boring, you guessed it right at once"
"Who else but you are so boring." Zhu Wei said, pulling Zhang Yanran in his arms.
"You should say that who else is so bold as me, come to the emperor, and let the people flirt and flirt." Zhang Yanran said with a smile.
"Also, it's not just bold, it's also the most unruly, didn't I say it, even if it's in the harem, as long as you leave the room, you have to dress appropriately."
"Haha, don't mind, congratulations, I heard Lord Chen say that Japan has revolted in Okinawa, and he respects you as the emperor, your face is so big."
"I'm under a lot of pressure," Zhu Wei said with a smile: "When they do this, I've become a bad person." Relations with Japan are about to plummet again. β
At the White House in the United States, Okuhama put his feet on his desk, but his heart was full of suspicions, and intelligence agencies such as the CIA and the FBI did not find any evidence of a connection between Ming and Ryukyu terrorists.
And the Ming State did not have the strength to finance terrorism.
On the contrary, the weapons in the hands of the Ryukyu Youth Army are all American-made equipment, which is really incredible.
There was a knock on the door and a staff member walked in: "Mr. President, Vice President asks for a meeting"
"Let Him In"
"Your Excellency the President, the Japanese side has sent a note to our country, hoping that we will designate the Ryukyu Youth Army as a terrorist as soon as possible and provide information on the strongholds of the terrorists on the Ryukyu side, and that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces will soon bomb the hiding places of the Ryukyu terrorists, and at the same time will land and seize the island." As soon as the vice president came in, he said earnestly to Ohachi President Ma.
Ohachima shook his head, "What do you think?" β
"What the Ryukyu Youth Army did really cannot be characterized as terrorists, they did not carry out terrorist attacks against any country, and they did not oppose us, the United States. They were just Ryukyuan people who were pursuing independence, and we in the United States did make a mistake on the Ryukyu issue back then. β
"However, if the United States does not agree to Japan's request, the Japanese side will reduce the amount of US troops stationed in Japan." "As an ally, then provide them with satellite map coordinates." It is estimated that this time, they can eliminate the Ryukyu Youth Army."
The sky over the Ryukyu Islands was clouded with the clouds of war, and after successfully occupying the Ryukyus and defeating the first Japanese attack, the Ryukyu Youth Army was greatly strengthened and equipped with a number of advanced weapons.
The Japanese side could not negotiate with the Ryukyu Youth Army, and had to gather military forces again.
This time, the Japanese side drew 30 ships from each of the Self-Defense Fleet, Yokosuka District, Kure, Sasebo, Maizuru, and Ominato Squadron to form a task force.
The convoy fleet, the air group, the diving fleet, the sea-sweeping team were mobilized.
At the same time, 25,000 fighters from the land masturbation team and 150 fighters from the air masturbation team joined the war, so far the Japanese side has only about 200 fighters that have not been mobilized, and they dare not use them more in order to deal with the north and the Celestial Empire.
The Intelligence Headquarters and the U.S. side provided wartime information, and under the unified command of the Ministry of Defense's Unified Staff Supervision Department, they launched another all-out attack on the main island of the Ryukyus.
Therefore, Japan's actions have been unanimously condemned by Russia, the Celestial Empire, and other countries in the international community.
The Ryukyus in November are not destined to be calm.
The Ryukyus side is also ready for war, and almost a month has passed since the last battle, and the number of genetic warriors has increased to 8,500, while the weapons and ammunition have been updated.
There was also a personnel transfer at the top of the Ryukyu Youth Army, and Shang Kai was changed from the commander-in-chief of the Youth Army to the vanguard commander, and the real commander-in-chief was a strange woman wearing a mask with traditional Ryukyu patterns.
No one knew that this new commander was Qing Xuan, the imperial concubine of the Ming Kingdom. (To be continued.) )
