Before the 10s of the 21st century, the term Diaoyu Dao was only more common to some so-called patriotic youth. Most people don't know which of China's territories are outside of their de facto control, or are disputed. Under the national strategy of Taoguang and obscurity, these topics that may cause tensions are generally suppressed by the central government and are not easily raised.

It is located almost in the center of the East China Sea, and although it is not large, it can form a deterrent effect. Moreover, according to the law of land and sea, whoever controls this area will be able to control the exclusive economic zone within 200 nautical miles around it, and the oil and gas fields in the East China Sea have huge reserves, especially for energy-poor Japan, which is an important and convenient source of energy.

In this plane, because China's naval strength has grown by leaps and bounds, China's national strength is not the same, and the Tanaka faction, which advocated friendship with China during this period and agreed with the principle of "shelving disputes and joint development" put forward by the Great Elder, was powerful and had a monopoly on the political arena for a long time, so the issue of the Diaoyu Islands, except for some Japanese extreme right-wingers who provoked it, did not become an important link affecting Sino-Japanese relations. On the contrary, it is the competition between China and Japan due to the high degree of homogeneity in economic and commodity trade that is where the rift in Sino-Japanese relations lies.

The Tanaka faction continued to decline after the 90s, and the more Japanese prime ministers went on, the more negative the Japanese prime ministers, because of various factors, the right-leaning of society became more serious, and the two big right-wingers of Junichiro Koizumi and Shinzo Abe were in power, which made Sino-Japanese relations continue to be cold.

And Qi Yiming does things, he is not used to looking at Japan's face, but he is like an ingenious layoutman, constantly changing the situation in East Asia through standing, blowing, guiding, and rendering. He has already played extremely successfully in the Aum Shinrikyo rebellion, a former great enemy of China and an important lackey of the United States in the future, and he has been turned into a miasma.

And at a time when Japan has little time to take care of other affairs, it seems a bit unreasonable not to take advantage of the fire to rob. What's more, the establishment of actual control over Diaoyu Dao cannot be regarded as taking advantage of the fire to rob it, and Diaoyu Dao itself is China's inherent territory, sacred and indivisible, is there any?

In addition, the Diaoyu Islands have been uninhabited and guarded for a long time, and there will be no armed conflict in the process of control, which in itself is also a condition for reducing the heat of the matter.

Of course, China did not simply recklessly land and occupy the island, but still played a little trick. Japanese Prime Minister Hosokawa Gohei asked the outside world to increase support for Japan's fight against the Ebola virus and to assist Japan in encircling and suppressing Aum Shinrikyo. China, on the other hand, has become one of the few countries that has given Japan a positive response, and considering the historical grievances between China and Japan, many outsiders have praised China as "repaying grievances with virtue".

Of course, it remains to be seen whether it is really repaying grievances with virtue. China's assistance to Japan is multifaceted, first of all, China announced that it will give Japan a batch of humanitarian supplies free of charge to alleviate the increasingly obvious food crisis in Japan. In the past few months, Japan has been forced to buy a large amount of food from China and send it to Japan by airdrop by military and civilian transport aircraft, and the price of these foods is absolutely high, and China can be regarded as making a lot of money from it.

Second, China announced that it will increase the size of its research team and strengthen its fight against the Ebola virus, in order to help Japan emerge from the Ebola crisis as soon as possible. Finally, China has declared Aum Shinrikyo a cult and a terrorist organization, banned this terrorist organization from operating in its own country, and is considering providing limited military support and assistance to the Japanese Government. As for what this military assistance will be, it is not clear.

At this time, no country has come forward to call for international cooperation to jointly crack down on terrorist organizations such as the anti-humane Aum Shinrikyo, and China will not say that it will hold an international conference to solve this problem. The most troublesome thing is that Aum Shinrikyo, unlike ordinary terrorist organizations, is not separated from a national group, but is closely related to and even integrated into Japanese society.

There is no way to deal with Aum Shinrikyo, there is no way to use air raids or the like, they are in the city, and if the air raids cause a large number of casualties among Japanese civilians, the Japanese government will absolutely not agree to it.

Soon, the Chinese military came up with a way to help Japan, using drones with powerful intelligence reconnaissance capabilities to maintain round-the-clock patrols in Japan to provide guidance to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and detect enemy situations.

China's drones are powerful Japan has also coveted for a long time, from the formal and even disgraceful ways to want to obtain Chinese drones, this time China proposed to use drones to help the Japanese Self-Defense Forces encircle and suppress the Truth Army, although Japan also has various concerns, such as fear that important local intelligence will be known by China, but Japan's intelligence outflow is not less, there are definitely a lot of Japanese traitors, and the Americans know Japan well. Japan, on the other hand, hopes to take this opportunity to acquire Chinese drones in the future, and even take this opportunity to learn more details.

But in fact, the Chinese are absolutely uneasy and kind, China obviously has a strategic level of UAVs, but deliberately came up with a medium-sized model whose range is not too sufficient, and the air stay time is not particularly long, and it has to run to the middle of the East China Sea to engage in a forward base for UAVs.

At this time, everyone guessed that China's selected drone advance base is the Diaoyu Islands!

On a day when the sea conditions were not high and the sea was sunny and the sea was beautiful, the Chinese Navy sent a task force from the Dinghai base in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, across the East China Sea to the Diaoyu Islands. The fleet mainly has two 052D Aegis destroyers, one 054B frigate, one 039C conventionally powered submarine as the main combat force, and two ACV riptide landing ships carrying soldiers and amphibious armored vehicles, as well as several large module sea fortresses.

Because the sea fortresses were slow, the navy also specially found tugboats to pull them. The Sea of Japan was in chaos at this time, and there was no effective response to the Chinese navy appearing on the surface. So even though the speed of the Chinese fleet was not fast, it still arrived at the Diaoyu Islands safely and spread out the sea fortress.

The sea fortress has the characteristics of multi-module and multi-task, and the different modules are quite different, but the interface is unified and can be connected in parallel. Although the area of Diaoyu Dao is not large, it is still much stronger than those shallow reefs in Nanhai Zhudao, so the sea fortress was selected to be deployed in a relatively shallow place to put the main mission modules into use.

Since it is claimed to be a drone forward base, there must be a simple runway in the sea fortress, because drones do not need a runway of several kilometers to take off like a fighter jet, so this runway is not long. In addition, because it needs to be on duty, there is also a fixed life module. In addition, the vicinity of the Diaoyu Islands is not peaceful, so there is also a set of weapon defense systems here, including close defense artillery, anti-aircraft missiles and even anti-ship missiles and 100mm artillery.

Of course, if you want to better manage the Diaoyu Islands, it is naturally impossible to rely solely on sea fortresses, and the follow-up civil engineering team is about to arrive. At that time, they will build a large number of permanent barracks, lighthouses, pillboxes, helicopter platforms and so on on on the Diaoyu Islands. They came with them some relatively small sea fortresses, and their destinations were several other islands in the Diaoyu Islands, such as Nanxiao Island, Beixiao Island, Chiwei Yu, Huangwei Yu and other places. The importance of these islands is slightly lower than that of the Diaoyu Islands, but since they are here, they can't be empty, and they are all occupied in case there are any moths in the future.

Under the pretext of helping Japan and sending drones to deal with Aum Shinrikyo, China has taken control of the disputed islands in the East China Sea, and even if Japan is now overwhelmed by the Ebola virus and Aum Shinrikyo, it is extremely shocking. Many Japanese politicians have also radically pointed out that it was Hosokawa Gohei who lured the wolf into the house, causing Japan to lose the Senkaku Islands, and that with the current situation in Japan, it is impossible to retake them at all, and that Japan will have to shout and protest like the four northern islands and Takeshima (called Dokdo in South Korea).

Hosokawa was also unaware of this situation, and he could only maintain a protest to China through diplomatic channels, and even came up with the proposal of Kakuei Tanaka and the Grand Elder to "put aside the dispute", believing that China and Japan have a dispute over the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands, so the status quo should not be undermined.

The so-called shelving of disputes is actually a choice made under the comparison of different strengths. On the other hand, when Japan's capabilities in the East China Sea were stronger than China's, it claimed that there was no dispute over the Senkaku Islands, and there was no dispute to put aside. On the plane, China's naval strength in the western Pacific is enough to completely defeat Japan and the U.S. Seventh Fleet, so Japan has to put aside the dispute and talk about it. And China is on the side of the advantage of strength, so there is no need to engage in any civility and politeness, because shelving the dispute is obviously a counterbalance to China's superior strength, and under the condition of having power, China does not need to shelve the dispute, just occupy it directly, and you can take it back if you have the ability.

Therefore, on the other hand, after China's strength has improved significantly, Japan is deeply worried that China will change the status quo, so on the one hand, it has drawn the United States to confront China, and on the other hand, it has painstakingly strengthened its ability to recapture the outlying islands, hoping that even if China takes a risk to retake the Diaoyu Islands, they will be able to counter them.

After China took control of the Diaoyu Dao, it declared through diplomatic channels that the Diaoyu Dao was undisputed Chinese territory, and listed a large number of historical and legal grounds. The United States does not want to see China seize such a strategically important archipelago, but it is also worried about provoking China too much, and only expresses concern about the situation and opposes changing the status quo, advocating that China should withdraw from the Diaoyu Islands.

But China does not need the United States to teach how to do it, and the uncle will not leave when he comes!
