After half a month of arguing, Lin Youde and Charlotte finally reached a consensus that the US military would withdraw from the territory of the Ming Empire outside Yingzhou, but the Korean Peninsula would exist as a demilitarized zone, and neither the new Ming government army nor the Ming Empire government army could enter the Korean Peninsula, and the governance of the Korean Peninsula would belong to the Ming Empire government.

In fact, this was to bring the Korean Peninsula into the sphere of influence of the United States, and at the same time leave a place for the Ming Empire government to continue its life. Lin Youde is quite satisfied with this agreement, he is not a person from this time and space, and he also has another time and space of cognition of the "motherland", and the image of that big rooster is deep-rooted, so Lin Youde did not feel particularly unhappy when the Korean Peninsula was occupied. On the contrary, he felt that the new China of this time and space still at least had a complete Mongolia, and Central Asia had broken off a piece from Russia, and no matter how you looked at it, it was "earned".

But as soon as a consensus was reached, the fox reminded Lin Youde: "If you really want to sign like this, there will definitely be a bunch of people in the Ming Kingdom who will scold you, and the Korean Peninsula and Yingzhou here are regarded as the traditional territories of the Ming Empire." ”

"There is a saying in my 'hometown', "Lin Youde's hometown naturally refers to the 'hometown' of another time and space," and "poverty puts aside disputes, and up to it has been since ancient times." Any idea what that means? ”

"I don't know."

This means that when the country is poor and weak, it takes a stance on the territorial issue of shelving disputes and developing together, even if it is an established fact. When the country is strong, it will forcibly expel the enemy under the banner that 'this is our territory since ancient times'. ”

"Isn't this what King Goujian did back then?"

"That's right."

At this time, the meeting was adjourned, so Lin Youde was drinking tea and moistening his mouth while telling the fox a story, and Viola, who was sitting on the other side, also listened attentively with her ears pricked up.

"At that time, China had always asserted its sovereignty in the South China Sea, and drew a territorial sea line in the South China Sea called the nine-dash line, which has been very exaggerated to the Riau Islands......

"Isn't that all the way to the Gulf of Siam?" The fox's eyes widened, "This is too big to look at, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, according to this nine-dash line, fishermen from Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines will enter China's territorial waters not long after they set sail, and it is reasonable that the surrounding countries do not recognize this nine-dash line."

"I can't find legal support for this method, right?" The fox continued, and at this time Viola pulled out the map of Asia from the information in front of her and looked at it, and finally showed a sudden realization.

In fact, the greatest basis in international law for this nine-dash line is the agreement reached at the spoils conference in Cairo at the end of World War II. In other words, the nine-dash line is actually one of the many remedies that the Chinese military received after its bloody battles in World War II. It is precisely because of this that no one in the international community dares to completely deny this nine-dash line. "Of course, in order to gain the support of the international community, the Chinese government still needs to find some basis that conforms to the international law of the sea, so China issued a detailed declaration of sovereignty over islands and reefs in the South China Sea, listing all the islands and reefs it claims as the legal basis for the nine-dash line." And on various occasions it has been emphasized that the southernmost point of Chinese territory is a reef called Zengmu Dark Sands. But in fact, this great-mother dark sand is seventeen meters underwater. ”

As soon as Lin Youde's words fell, Sissi, who was sitting across a fox from him, squirted out the tea she had just drunk in her mouth.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth as she asked, "Take a dark sand seventeen meters underwater as a demarcation standard?" ”

"Yes, this is not the most excessive, as the basis for the demarcation of the 'reef' in the 'reef' there are a lot of deeper than this, and there are rumors in the market that the list of islands and reefs in the South China Sea released by the state is actually deleted, and many of the so-called reefs that have been deleted are located more than 100 meters underwater, and even the national government itself feels that this is too shameless and must be restrained, so it was deleted......"

Lin Youde paused: "All in all, this nine-dash line is a very nonsense line, so the country was also very weak at the beginning, and the country was too poor at that time to even guarantee regular patrols, and the performance of the ships used was not good, so he put forward the position of shelving the dispute and jointly developing." ”

"And then?" The fox asked.

"After China became stronger, it began to talk about 'since ancient times', and it quietly changed its tone, so much so that many military enthusiasts who paid attention to the situation in the South China Sea only found that their tone had quietly changed after many years. Later, China began to move towards hegemony, and directly did not mention it since ancient times, but began to rely on reef reclamation to build islands. Several artificial islands that can be used to build airfields have been filled in. ”

"Oh," lamented the fox, "that's exactly what the nineteenth-century powers did, and they don't reason with you at all." ”

"That's right. The most interesting thing is that China has a system of seasonal fishing moratorium, which is to protect marine fishery resources, setting aside a few months each year for fish to thrive. This is only China's domestic policy, and it is reasonable to say that it does not control foreign fishermen, but China claims that the nine-dash line is its territorial waters, so as soon as the fishing moratorium began, Chinese coast guard ships ran around the world with Vietnamese, Philippine and Malaysian fishing boats......

The fox laughed.

Lin Youde also smiled: "Imagine that a Vietnamese fisherman sails out to fish in the morning, and just an hour after leaving the port, he encounters a Chinese coast guard ship with a loudspeaker telling you that you are now in the summer season and wants you to go back......"

At this time, even Viola smiled, but soon Viola put away her smile, looked at Lin Youde and asked, "What do you say about this and you are going to be scolded for treason?" ”

"I was about to say that. Now, China is much weaker than the United States, and if it fights with the United States, it will occupy the coast, and it will not be able to drive the Americans into the sea after paying so many casualties. No matter how hard I try, as long as the premise that China itself cannot defeat the United States still exists, there is no way for me to get more concessions from the United States. But in the future, when China becomes stronger, it will naturally take back Yingzhou and North Korea step by step. Of course, it is not necessary to re-annex these two places to one's own territory, in fact, in modern society, there are many ways to squeeze out profits without annexing territory. In short, people of insight in China will surely realize that the current concessions are inevitable, and these people will not blame me. ”

Viola looked at Lin Youde and sighed softly.

"We in Germany are the same, if we work a little harder and let the United States suffer more losses, maybe we can win more concessions."

"No way, the conditions of the Americans are too good, if the country is personified, the United States will undoubtedly be the protagonist of the 20th century, with the halo of the protagonist." Lin Youde paused, "I was able to rely on my protagonist aura to force the Americans to the negotiating table, and I am already very satisfied." ”

At this time, Charlotte, who had left to take a break in the lounge next door, returned to the venue with her entourage, which meant that this morning's talks began again.
