Chapter 48: The Expansion of the Ryukyu Kingdom

After the restoration of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the original Japanese citizens were expelled, and after the survey of the national population, there were still about 600,000 left, of which 10,000 elites under my control were placed in various important posts, and the Ryukyu script (actually Chinese) became the official language. Under my mandate, the kingdom sent envoys to various countries in Southeast Asia to establish diplomatic relations, and in particular, to secretly conclude many cooperation projects with China, including the joint development of continental shelf resources in the East China Sea.

In the diplomatic talks with South Korea, the sea areas of the two countries were re-demarcated and determined, and certain projects were also agreed upon, so that if a Japanese steamer wanted to go to any country in Asia, it would have to pass through the territorial waters of China, South Korea, and the Ryukyus, and the Ryukyu Kingdom would not allow the Japanese to step into the territory of the kingdom for a hundred years, so it could only be resolved through consultation with China and South Korea.

Due to the temporary disappearance of Japan's military power, many countries have canceled or delayed cooperation with Japanese companies under various pretexts, which has dealt a serious blow to the Japanese economy, and Japanese-funded enterprises in China have also been living like a year, especially in the automobile industry. European and American companies have also taken the opportunity to expand their investment in Southeast Asia to seize the market of Japanese companies, and by the way, they have resisted the expansion of Chinese companies.

At the end of August, a group of 100 junior high school Chinese teachers secretly arrived in the Ryukyu Kingdom and began to provide basic Chinese education to the citizens of the Kingdom. At the same time, on the desert islands of the Ryukyu Kingdom, some of the infrastructure of heavy industry began to work, and a large shipbuilding enterprise was established to manufacture various ships.

South Korea and Japan have rich oil and gas resources in the territorial dispute, and because South Korea's offshore exploitation technology has not yet matured, coupled with the tense relations between the two countries, it has been delayed in development, and now Japan has been hit hard, and South Korea has taken the opportunity to cooperate with the Kingdom of the Ryukyus to jointly develop its own oil and gas and other marine resources to alleviate the current situation of South Korea's oil shortage.

At this time, the North Korean government was still in a wait-and-see mode, burying its head in the development of nuclear weapons. The Taiwanese government and many private foundations have launched an offensive to cooperate with the Ryukyu Kingdom in many ways, but they have been told by the Kingdom to delay the cooperation indefinitely.

At this time, anti-American demonstrations broke out at the US military base in South Korea, and the US government had to consider the demand for the withdrawal of troops.

Due to the rise of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the cripple of Japan, the United States had to consider a new Asian policy, and at the same time, the fear of the power of the Ryukyu king, the United States reined in its military operations around the world and became a boudoir lady.

The situation in the Philippines is a bit chaotic, and there are more than 100 large and small political parties in the country, all of which control some local consortia and want to establish ties with the Ryukyu government in every possible way. In addition to the ruling Democratic Party, the Nationalist People's Alliance, the second largest party in the Philippines, hopes to enter into economic cooperation with the Kingdom of the Ryukyus, slowly infiltrate with financial resources, and finally reach the point of confronting the ruling party. The Moro National Liberation Front, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (), and the Philippines** are classified as terrorist organizations, and armed activities are carried out from time to time in the country to resist the siege of the ruling party.

Since Japan is the largest investor in the Philippines, with an annual amount of hundreds of millions of dollars, after the current war for the restoration of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Japan is temporarily unable to make overseas investments, which has caused the Philippine economy to show a downward trend, and the US Government has pretended to be deaf and dumb, causing a panic among the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, which has shown strong interest in the newly established Ryukyu Kingdom.

The navies of Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia were very weak, and seeing that the Ryukyu Kingdom had solved Japan's powerful naval fleet with only a hundred torpedo boats, the three ** sides showed a strong purchase**.

The Ryukyu Kingdom learned in its diplomatic channels with the Pacific island countries that due to climate warming, sea level rise, many islands are shrinking, and the governments of the island countries are vying to sell their islands and reefs, preparing to relocate the whole country after making a big profit, after hearing this news, the Ryukyu Kingdom secretly sent a large number of people to buy, and in more than a month, acquired 100 inhabited islands and 500 uninhabited islands, including islands and reefs around the islands, coral reefs and other sea areas, with a total area of more than 2 million square kilometers. And openly typed the information that these islands belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Pacific Ocean is an important area for the future development and control of the Ryukyu Kingdom!
