Chapter 499: Responsibility
Lang Zhan thinks that he is not a good person, no, sometimes, he even wonders if he is a person now. Eight? A Chinese network? ?? (viii).? 8 (1) 1 Z ( ) .? οΌ£οΌ―οΌ
The next day, the government held a high-profile press conference, in which it sternly rebuked the Ryukyu authorities for their blatant declaration of independence as illegal, and said that the government was determined to maintain territorial integrity, and even said cruel words at the cost of burning jade. Less than five hours after the government released such news, the spokesman of the White Palace of the United States responded, saying that based on the all-weather alliance between the United States and Japan, the United States government would fully support the decision and determination of the government to safeguard territorial integrity. In addition, in order to deal with tensions in East Asia, the United States will speed up the process of negotiations with the South Korean government on the deployment of the THAAD missile system.
The next day, the Self-Defense Force and the Maritime Self-Defense Force conducted a joint military exercise in Nagasaki, in which a brigade-sized combat robot unit was showcased.
After the exercise, the government called out to the Ryukyu authorities, demanding that the Ryukyu authorities immediately abandon the confrontation. The posture of the central government and the rhetoric that the Ryukyu authorities would be able to talk about everything as long as they withdrew the Declaration of Independence and put an end to the so-called farce of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
On the same day, under the watchful eyes of the public, the Chinese government held a press conference in Yenching to clarify its position on the issue of Ryukyu independence....... In accordance with Article 8 of the Potsdam Proclamation, which states that 'the conditions of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out and Japan's sovereignty shall be limited to the islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and such other small islands as we may determine," it is debatable whether the Ichichi Government has sovereignty over the Ryukyus...... The Chinese government has not recognized its ownership of the Ryukyu Islands in the past, and it will certainly not recognize it in the future. My Government is of the view that the international community should be fully aware of the fact that the indigenous peoples of the Ryukyu Islands are seeking independence in the context of the Ryukyu influenza crisis and the zombie crisis, and that they are related to the serious inaction of certain countries in these two incidents. The Chinese government, in line with its long-standing diplomatic principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, calls on all parties concerned to remain calm and properly resolve the remaining issues of the Ryukyus' international status through consultation rather than violence......"
Lang Zhan, Takahashi Shinzo, and Ryu Uchida, along with a number of other key officials of the Ryukyu authorities, watched the video of these briefings. After reading the press briefing of the Chinese government, Uchida looked at Lang Zhan and said: "The Chinese government did not mention our diplomatic note, are they not ready to interfere?" β
Lang Zhan looked at him and said calmly, "I thought this was already quite an obvious signal. β
"I want to hear about it."
"The Chinese government says that it has never recognized the sovereignty of a country over the Ryukyus, and if we understand it in turn, is this not a recognition of the independence of the Ryukyus? And as far as I know, this should be the first time that the Chinese government has released such words in an official capacity, right? Isn't that enough? Gentlemen, what I want to know is that I have already said cruel words that I would rather burn jade, what about you? What is your attitude? β
Shinzo Takahashi and Ryu Uchida glanced at each other, stood up, bowed deeply to Lang Zhan, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not our attitude, it's your attitude. You are our meta. After them, the others stood up one after another and bowed deeply to Lang Zhan as well.
"You still insist that I be your king?"
"Your Majesty, the Ryukyus are independent, and we have elected you as our king, and now it is known to the whole world, this is already the water that has been spilled."
Lang Zhan: "How many people are there in Ryukyu now?" β
"There are about 1.5 million native residents and about 400,000 immigrants. Of these, 70 percent live on the island of Ryukyu Oshima. β
"The Ryukyus are so big, there is no strategic depth at all, and in the early stage, it is impossible for the Ryukyus to receive reinforcements - do you understand?"
In the past few days when the United States, Japan, and China have held press conferences one after another, Lang Zhan has not been idle. Things have come to this point, which he never expected. The zombie crisis ended in this way, and the Ryukyus authorities' angry declaration of independence and the election of him as king immediately led to dire consequences. Without the threat of the zombie virus, whether it is a country or a book, it will definitely send troops without hesitation. Not to mention the rice country, a single book is not something that the small Ryukyu can compete with. Is there a way out for Ryukyu independence? With the historical knowledge instilled in her by Nina as a reference, Lang Zhan combined the content of the press conference of the three governments, and the result of the analysis was that whether Ryukyu could truly become independent or become a vassal of Huaguo again, the key was not in Ryukyu, but in the game between Huaguo and Yiyi and Mei. Will the Chinese Congress send troops to intervene or even defend the Ryukyus? For Huaguo, this is indeed a godsend to break the blockade of the island chain. However, with the urine nature of the Chinese government, counting on them to send troops directly will only result in greater hope and greater disappointment. Combined with Ouyang Nan's words, Lang Zhan thought that even if Huaguo would send troops, he would definitely choose a more suitable time. For example, the outbreak of a humanitarian crisis. China is a regional power and has the obligation to maintain regional peace and stability, and in the event of a humanitarian crisis in the Ryukyus, China, as a regional big brother, has a reason to stand out for justice. Provided, of course, that a large number of Ryukyu civilians were sacrificed.
Shinzo Takahashi: "Your Majesty, please make it clearβ"
Lang Zhan: "We should all know that it is simply unrealistic for Ryukyu to rely on its own strength to become independent. Therefore, if the Ryukyus wanted to ********, they could only rely on the intervention of other major powers. Looking at the whole world, who would do such a thing for the sake of the Ryukyus? Only Huaguo. But have you seriously thought about the consequences of Huaguo's invasion of the Ryukyus? Yiyi has released cruel words about the burning of jade, and the country of rice claims to support all the decisions of Yiyi. If that is the case, we have reason to believe that this will lead to a third world warβ"
"World War III? Your Majesty, is this, is this an exaggeration? Uchida said with a wink of small eyes.
Lang Zhan looked at him and said, "Exaggerated? Not an exaggeration at all. I'm from Huaguo, so I know the situation Huaguo is facing. What is China's top priority? South China Sea. How many problems are there left over from history in China and neighboring countries? Once Huaguo and Yiyi enter the mode of national war, these will become their weaknesses and become a tool for other countries to grab interests. β
Takahashi asked, "You mean political blackmail?" β
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, what if we ask to be incorporated into the territory of China?"
"The Chinese government will not be fooled. I thought about it, China sent troops to the Ryukyus only because of one thing, that is, the humanitarian crisis in the Ryukyus. Need I explain what a humanitarian crisis is? β
Takahashi, all the high-ranking officials of the Ryukyus stopped talking.
Lang Zhan took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, lit one, and was slowly inhaling it, when a woman in a professional suit stood up, bowed deeply to him first, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say." β
Lang Zhan looked at her.
The woman's name is Shin Fukuda, and she is the director of the Ryukyu Health and Epidemic Prevention Agency. "I thought that the Ryukyus had already experienced two humanitarian crises," she said. However, apart from the Chinese government, which has provided us with reinforcements, have we received de facto assistance from other countries?! Your Majesty, Ladies and Gentlemen, in the future, will we certainly not encounter such a flu crisis or a zombie crisis as the Ryukyus? If we give up this chance, when will we wait for a second chance?! Do we want our descendants to live forever in the gloom? β
After Fukuda Zhen finished speaking, everyone present, including Lang Zhan, was stunned. Takahashi Shinzo took a deep breath, stood up and bowed deeply to Lang Zhan, and said; "Your Majesty, Wechen is ashamed." Then, he bowed deeply to Fukuda and said, "Director Fukuda, thank you for waking up." If it weren't for you, we would still be in a dream. β
Shinzo Takahashi made such a gesture, and his attitude was already very clear.
After him, Uchida Ryu and the others stood up one by one, Qi Qi Chaolang Zhan bent his waist deeply, and Takahashi Shinzo said, "Your Majesty! You are a native of China, and there is a Buddhist saying in China that I don't go to hell who goes to hell, and the facts tell us that under the rule of one book, Ryukyu has no future. So, Your Majesty, if there must be sacrifices to bring a brilliant tomorrow to the Ryukyus, please lead us to death! β
"Your Majesty, please lead us to death!"
Because of this scene, Lang Zhan was a little heavy when he left. He didn't know if Takahashi Shinzo had a conspiracy to elect him as the king of the Ryukyus, but now, it didn't matter. Since Ichichi himself has already held a press conference, he will definitely send troops to the Ryukyus. But what is the current military strength of the Ryukyus? the 6th Army, a rabble of police officers and members of the Ryukyu Independence Party; In the Navy, there are only a few patrol boats of less than 100 tons; If the Air Force and civil aviation can still be regarded as a member of the Air Force, it seems that they have a certain long-distance projection capability.
"There is really no way but to ask Mathis for help, I don't know what harsh conditions the old man will propose," Lang Zhan took out his mobile phone after making this decision.
The phone was connected, and without waiting for Lang Zhan to speak, Mathis spoke first: "Gabriel." Selena died, died of bloodthirsty insects. The mercenaries who were with her were also dead. β
Lang Zhan heard the sound and knew what he meant, and hung up the phone directly. Then, he walked straight to the temporary barracks of the Huaguo mercenaries, and decided to find a way to find Ouyang Nan - since Ouyang Nan could bring three hundred special forces over before, then she should have a way to get another three thousand ordinary Chinese soldiers to come over. As long as there were 3,000 more Chinese soldiers, he believed that it would not be a problem to withstand the Japanese army's rotational attack. As for whether this will lead to a direct war between China and Japan. Or, forcing the Japanese to send out warplanes to bomb the Ryukyus indiscriminately, or even use strategic-grade weapons, was not on his radar.
In the temporary barracks of the Chinese mercenaries, two Chinese special forces were wrestling their wrists, and Ouyang Nan and other Chinese special forces were drinking beer and roaring at a sky-high price. Lang Zhan walked in, and the other special forces just glanced at him, then immediately looked away and continued to drink and roar. When Ouyang Nan saw him, he pouted and smiled slightly, jumped down from the table, and walked over to him.
