Chapter 700: Diaoyu Islands

"Haiqi". (The update is the fastest and most stable, see, .k.)

The cruiser, which had performed great feats in the Northern Expedition and the Temple Street Incident, now looks a little old in the rapidly changing Chinese Navy.

However, for the captain of the "Haiqi", Van Olin was still full of feelings for this old cruiser.

In fact, he had the opportunity to transfer to the new cruiser as a captain, but he refused several times. Because in his opinion, the "Haiqi" is like his own child. No matter how ugly this child is, he is also his own treasure after all.

"Report to the captain, the Diaoyu Islands are ahead!" Lin Ransen, the first mate of the "Haiqi", came over and said: "Captain, the front is the patrol sea area of the Japanese Navy."

"Bastard!" Without hesitation, Fan Olin interrupted his assistant's words: "When did the Diaoyu Islands become Japanese?" What did the Manchu sign have to do with the government of the Republic of China? ”

The Diaoyu Islands have been China's territory since ancient times, and China has indisputable sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and their adjacent waters.

As early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Diaoyu Islands were clearly defined as Chinese territory, and the Ming and Qing dynasties both classified the Diaoyu Islands as within the jurisdiction of China's coastal defense, and were not "terra nullius".

Before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan did not dispute China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. In 1884, Koga, a resident of Naha, Japan, first landed on the Diaoyu Islands to collect feathers and catch the surrounding seafood. His subsequent petition to open up the Diaoyu Islands was rejected by the so-called governor of Okinawa Prefecture. After 1885, the governor of "Okinawa Prefecture" repeatedly wrote to the Japanese government requesting that the Diaoyu Dao, Huangwei Dao, and Chiwei Dao Dao be placed under his jurisdiction, but the Japanese authorities did not reply to the Qing Dynasty government's claim to sovereignty over these islands.

However, in 1895, after the Sino-Japanese War, Japan seized Taiwan and its affiliated islands by forcing the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The islands were stolen three months before the signing of the agreement and placed under the jurisdiction of "Okinawa Prefecture".

The incompetence of the Manchus was a matter for the Manchus, and in the eyes of the Republic of China and their great president, Wang Hengyue, Diaoyu Dao has always been China's territory, and Diaoyu Dao has never had a dime to do with Japan!

The same is true for Van Oling.

"The Diaoyu Islands have never had a dime to do with Japan!" The president's words still ring in his ears to this day.

It's rude, but that's the way it is, my territory is mine, and it has nothing to do with you. Even if it is temporarily occupied by you now, I will take it back sooner or later!

That's the mentality of the president, and so is the mentality of his officers

"I forgot to bring a fishing rod." Fan Elin suddenly muttered to himself.

Lin Ransen was stunned: "What? ”

Fan Erin glanced at his subordinates very strangely: "Diaoyu Island, Diaoyu Island, what do you do if you don't fish here?" ”

Lin Ransen laughed.

What is the relationship between Diaoyu Island and fishing? What's more, Diaoyu Dao is just a collective term, which is composed of Diaoyu Island, Huangwei Island, Chiwei Island, Minami Island, North Island, Great Nan Island, Great North Island, and Hirose Island.

Fan Olin said leisurely: "I guess the origin of this name may be that some of our Chinese celebrities have fished on it before, so we have such a name."

"Yes, yes," Lin Ransen didn't bother to explain to his captain.

Lin Ransen graduated from a regular naval academy, while Fan Olin is a special case in the Chinese navy.

From the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Chinese Navy had a habit. Army officers may be illiterate, but most of the naval officers are highly educated, and many of them have returned from overseas. Therefore, the cultural level of the Navy is very high. …,

Entering Wang Hengyue's China, the education level of naval officers has reached a peak. Without attending a naval academy, it is simply impossible to serve as a naval officer.

There are two exceptions, however.

One is Fan Erlin, and the other is Niu Liancheng, who doesn't know how to get liked by the president, and has some intellectual defects!

Under the special care of the president, Niu Liancheng actually became a trainee officer of a battleship, but I heard that he was on the ship, and he was crazy every day, and always caused some small troubles to the captain.

But every time Chen Shaokuan always comforted the captain, Niu Liancheng was a "genius" who had been specially cared for by the president, and some things that could be turned a blind eye should just be ignored.

Anyway, the captain didn't see where Niu Liancheng's "genius" was, but with the face of the president and the care of the chief of the navy, the captain could only be a "waste" on his own ship.

Van Olin is an exception.

This person has been eating the bowl of rice of the navy since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he doesn't recognize many words, and the reason why he can get to this position today is completely because he climbed up step by step.

Some people say that based on Fan Erlin's qualifications, he will be able to become a lieutenant general sooner or later in the future; But some people say that judging from Fan Erlin's education level, he is at most a major general.

For these comments, Van Olin never cared.

In his opinion, whether it is a lieutenant general or a major general, as long as he can let himself cross the sea, he is already satisfied

As for Lin Ransen, who graduated from a regular naval academy, he didn't look down on this rude and uneducated captain in his heart.

The regularization, systematization, and intellectualization of the navy have long been the requirements for the construction of the Chinese navy at present, and it is really not suitable for such a big and coarse captain to control a cruiser with an excellent history.

The last time he conducted a joint naval military exercise with the United States, after he shouted the English of "hardport" and "left full rudder", Van Olin actually jumped like thunder, grabbed his collar and shouted:

"Damn, this is the Chinese Navy, not your fucking foreign navy, no one on the ship can understand what you said about these fucking foreign languages!"

Lin Ransen was a little aggrieved that day, his naval instructor was British, and he blurted out such a sentence of English without paying attention, who would have thought that the captain would be so angry.

originally thought that Fan Olin would catch this matter after the exercise, but who would have thought that Fan Olin would forget it all of a sudden, and he actually talked and laughed with Lin Ransen

This big old man who doesn't leave his mouth all day long, the current navy is really not suitable for him Lin Ransen thought quietly in his heart.

"Report, the discovery of the Japanese Navy's first-class coastal defense ship 'Kasuga'."

The sudden report made all the Chinese naval officers and men on the "Haiqi" nervous.

"The 'Kasuga' sent a flag, this is Japanese waters, and orders our ship to leave immediately!"

"Fuck it!" The irritable Fan Olin suddenly became furious: "Tell these little bitches that this is Chinese waters, and order them to leave immediately!" ”

"How did you pronounce the captain's 'son of a'?"

"What's the fuck wrong with your head?" Fan Elin was furious: "You don't need to send this sentence!" ”

Lin Ransen shook his head as he listened to it, and sure enough, what kind of commander led what kind of soldiers.

"Captain, the 'Kasuga' said that we are a provocative act of nakedness in an attempt to cause war, and all the consequences caused by this will be borne by us!"

"Damn, don't bird him!" Fan Olin suddenly became calm. …,

"Captain, the 'Kasuga' ship has ordered our ship to leave immediately, this is an ultimatum, an ultimatum!"

The eyes of all the officers on the "Haiqi" fell on Fan Olin.

"Captain" Lin Ransen said kindly: "According to the 'Treaty of Shimonoseki'"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Erlin: "Deputy Lin, I think you are a traitor!" ”

Lin Ransen's face turned red all at once, as if he had received the biggest grievance in his life: "Captain, you are insulting me, I, Lin Ransen, am an upright Chinese!" ”

"Chinese? Are you embarrassed to mention the 'Treaty of Shimonoseki'? Fan Olin snorted very disdainfully: "What does the 'Treaty of Shimonoseki' have to do with the government of the Republic of China?" Lao Tzu patrolled his own waters, did he still have to abide by those treaties left by the Manchus? The Manchu Qing Dynasty also had the 'Xinchou Treaty' and countless traitorous treaties, Deputy Lin, should we all abide by them? ”

Lin Ransen was stunned for a moment and was speechless.

"Captain, the Kasuga has asked to send officers to our ship for negotiations!"

"Accurate!" Fan Elin agreed without thinking about it

The person who appeared in front of Fan Olin was a Japanese naval lieutenant, and when he saw Fan Olin's face, he immediately said with a gloomy face: "Here"

Fan Olin didn't let him continue: "What's your name?" ”

The Japanese second lieutenant was stunned: "Asano Tadanobu." ”

"Officer."

"Second Lieutenant of the Imperial Japanese Navy!"

Fan Erin said unhurriedly; "I'm a lieutenant colonel of the Republic of China Navy, why don't you salute when you see me? Is that how you Japanese Navy teach? ”

Tadanobu Asano was stunned, stunned for a long time, and then saluted: "Your Excellency, Captain, please forgive me for my faux pas." ”

"That's right." Fan Erlin's expression looked much better: "Say, there is something to find me." ”

Asano's momentum was suppressed as soon as he came up, and at this time, the captain of the Chinese Navy in front of him felt awkward no matter what he said: "Your Excellency, according to the Sino-Japanese treaty, this is the waters of Japan, and the captain of our ship Yachihara asked your ship to leave immediately to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

"Asano, Second Lieutenant Asano, I don't have a good memory, what era is China in now? Qing Dynasty? Republic? Fan Erlin suddenly asked.

"Ah, it's the Republic of China now." Tadanobu Asano said in a daze.

Fan Elin said "oh": "It's already the Republic of China, so what does this have to do with the Qing Dynasty!" ”
