Looking at the endless ocean in front of her, Wang Anyi couldn't help but curl her lips:
"It doesn't look any different from our place. Why do you feed a bunch of animals?"
Gui Zhaolin also came to him and looked ahead a few times, and said with a smile:
"Old Wang, seawater flows with ocean currents. The seawater you see just flowed out of our military port a few months ago. How can it make any difference?"
"But based on the little devil's urine, I'm afraid it won't be easy to tell in a few years."
"oh?"
Wang Anyi raised her eyebrows:
"what's going on?"
Gui Zhaolin raised his lips in a certain direction and explained:
"I heard that the Neon people established the Atomic Energy Commission a few years ago, and the Donghai Nuclear Power Plant they are currently tinkering with will be able to start generating electricity in a few years."
"Nuclear power plants will produce nuclear sewage. If we can't protect it, the devils will secretly discharge this stuff into the sea."
"Of course, let's just talk about these things in private. Don't talk about it when we meet the Neon people later - there are quite a few of them who can speak Chinese."
Say it.
Gui Zhaolin then looked meaningfully at the several warships that were cruising around a few kilometers away from the fleet.
Gui Zhaolin was not surprised by the appearance of these warships, and he did not take too drastic measures. After all, this was the neon high seas border.
national territory.
This concept is a well-deserved sensitive concept for any country at any time.
However, most people's impression of national territory usually remains at the land level, but in fact, maritime jurisdiction is also an important part of national territory.
As early as the medieval period.
Italian jurists Azzo and Bartolas advocated that any country has rights to sea areas within a certain range of coastal areas.
Gentilis, a Dutch jurist in the 16th century, further proposed a modification: coastal waters are the continuation of the territory of the country adjoining the coast.
This concept was defined by the Convention on the Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone signed in 1958. The Convention states that "a state's sovereignty extends to an area of sea beyond its land territory and internal waters adjacent to its coast, which is called the territorial sea."
However, each country has different methods of determining territorial waters. Some advocate three nautical miles, and some advocate six nautical miles.
On September 4, 1958.
China published the "Statement of the Republic of China on Territorial Seas", announcing that "the width of the territorial waters of the Republic of China is 12 nautical miles."
All foreign aircraft and military ships are not allowed to enter China's territorial waters and airspace without China's permission.
But on the other hand.
Territorial sea is not the limit of a country's sea area. There are adjacent zones, exclusive economic zones and other areas outside the territorial sea. Outside the exclusive economic zone is usually the high seas line.
Therefore, in later generations, there was a high seas line between Qionghai Province and XSQD (unless when the Zhongsha Islands came out of the water). This is one of the reasons why people on the other side of the sea often dare to sail boats to wander around the South China Sea - the word provocation
So it is different from starting a war. The essence is that provocation is usually an act of stepping on the line but not crossing it.
His eyes returned to reality.
Wang Anyi and Gui Zhaolin's fleet was currently located near the southern channel of Tsushima Strait, and the nearest continental shelf to Neon was about 200 nautical miles away.
Not long ago, after the fleet had just left the narrowest area of the South Channel, seven or eight ships appeared in front of them.
Two of the ships were flying neon flags, and Wang Anyi recognized them at a glance as the only Shiro-type destroyers of the Neon Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Of course, the Shiro-type destroyer is the only one with a tonnage of 1,600 tons...
The other few ships were flying the Stars and Stripes, and they were obviously formed by the Seventh Fleet on the other side of the sea. It was not clear which task force they were.
be honest.
Wang Anyi does not discriminate against the Neon people's approach of guarding against thieves. After all, it involves border and territorial issues. If it were him, he would have issued a warning the moment the other party appeared.
But understanding is understanding, he still felt unhappy seeing these Japanese...
I don't know if there are any "old friends" from the Songhu War on the ships on the other side. Wang Anyi's best friend Lin Shangjie... who was also Guo Rugui's deputy, died heroically on the Songhu Battlefield.
No, to be precise, 90% of their military sergeants of that period were sacrificed in that battle.
Just when Wang Anyi was deep in thought.
A Japanese voice suddenly sounded from a warship on the opposite side.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of Zhao Ming, the commander of the 101 ship's radio, came from Wang Anyi's intercom device:
"The captain, political commissar, and Neon Man's fleet sent messages through the pre-communicated wave frequency, asking if we are the escort fleet responsible for transporting crude oil."
Upon hearing this, Wang Anyi immediately brought her thoughts back to reality and showed the qualities a captain should have:
"Captain Zhao Qing, please reply to me in person. We are the escort fleet for the 9.3 crude oil trading project of the People's Republic of China, and reiterate our principle that we will not get involved in the neon sea."
"However, while we respect the jurisdiction of the Neon People's waters, we hope that the other party will also inform them of their specific identities and tasks. If necessary, I can personally contact the person in charge of the other party."
Zhao Ming suddenly looked serious:
"clear!"
A busy tone soon came from the intercom.
About three to five minutes passed.
Zhao Ming's voice rang again:
"Captain, the other party stated that they are from the 2nd Escort Group of the Neon Maritime Self-Defense Force and the 72nd Task Force of the 7th Fleet of the Pacific Fleet."
"The person in charge of the neon side calls himself Sugawara Keisuke, and the person in charge across the sea is named Sandor Hempry."
Wang Anyi and Gui Zhaolin looked at each other after hearing this, and they nodded in tacit understanding.
Simply speaking from the perspective of this trading situation, Neon People are quite well-behaved.
The predecessor of the Neon Maritime Self-Defense Force was the Neon Navy. Due to the defeat of the war, the navy was disbanded and the Self-Defense Force was established to maintain self-defense.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Neon Maritime Self-Defense Force was established eight years ago. At the beginning of its establishment, it borrowed eighteen 1,450-ton Tacoma-class frigates from across the sea.
Boat.
In addition, they also produced a spring breeze destroyer based on the Shiro-type destroyer, which is the destroyer not far away in front of the 101 ship.
Keisuke Sugawara is now the deputy central officer of the Neon Maritime Self-Defense Force, equivalent to the third-in-command of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
As for the official name of Task Force 72 across the sea, it is called the Seventh Fleet Patrol and Reconnaissance Command. Compared with Task Force 71 (First Naval Special Warfare Unit Command) and Task Force 70 (Seventh Fleet Combat Command)
Command), the main combat force, the function of Task Force 72 is more about reconnaissance.
Wang Anyi has also heard of Sandor Hamprey, and he is now the East Asia regional affairs advisor of the Seventh Fleet.
Compared to other hawkish managers, Sandor Hamprey's methods are relatively softer - not that he is friendly to China, but that he tends to use political means to resolve matters.
This kind of person is not easy to deal with. The so-called smiling tiger in ancient Chinese proverbs is this kind of person, but at least they will not handle things too stiffly on the surface.
This crude oil escort was a very simple one-time transaction, so from Wang Anyi's point of view, Sandor Hamprey was indeed a very suitable candidate to deal with.
After all, their main mission this time is not to cause trouble in Neon. There are actually two purposes for the rabbits to go around like this:
The first is to ask Neon people to reimburse the fuel costs, and the second is to find a suitable reason to let the fleet leave the port.
Otherwise, given China's current international attention, Wang Anyi and the others might be targeted by a bunch of monsters and monsters as soon as they leave Wusongkou.
True.
This detour around Neon will eventually expose the true intention, but at least it will give the fleet a one or two days of breathing space - the fleet will not react until it is at least close to the Ryukyu Islands or even Luzon Island.
The rabbits who came here are not the fleet dispatched for DYD.
There is no way, the situation of rabbits nowadays is to use tricks like this.
This is like when Liu Bei used an excuse to go to Xuzhou to intercept and kill Yuan Shu. Cao Cao only realized the problem after leaving Xudu, but by that time he was already in a better position.
Then a while passed.
Zhao Ming’s voice came from the communication device again:
"Captain, we just received news of a ghost...ahem, neon guided ship."
"Keisuke Sugawara and Sandor Hanprey want to board the ship to hand over the procedures with us, and they said that the number of people accompanying them will not exceed ten people."
Neon's request was already expected by the rabbits, so Wang Anyi quickly nodded:
"No problem, let them come over and we will put down the gangway."
"In addition, please notify the captains of the three OPEC oil tankers and ask them to come to Ship 101 for handover."
"clear."
After hanging up the communication.
Wang Anyi and Gui Zhaolin stood on the deck and waited quietly.
About ten minutes passed.
A few kilometers away on the sea, a small boat suddenly appeared.
The speed of the small boat was very fast, and a long white wave trail rolled out from behind, which was extremely clear in the field of vision.
Then the boat got closer and closer, and finally reached the side of the 101 ship smoothly.
ten minutes later.
Several special 'visitors' appeared on the deck.
There were eight people in this group, three yellow and five white, all wearing military uniforms that were different from the Chinese 60-style military uniforms.
Seeing these people appear, Wang Anyi also showed the magnanimity of the owner of Ship 101, and led Gui Zhaolin towards each other at a steady pace. In the end, the two sides happened to meet smoothly in the middle of the deck.
"Captain, political commissar, these are the handover personnel for Neon."
After the meeting, Zhao Ming, the head of the Qing Dynasty, pointed at the two people in charge and said:
"This is Mr. Sugawara Keisuke, and next to him is Mr. Sandor Hemprey."
"Keisuke Sugawara, these two are the leaders of our ship, Captain Wang Anyi and Political Commissar Gui Zhaolin."
Zhao Ming's last words were addressed to Keisuke Sugawara and Sandor Hamprey, and they were still in Chinese.
Zhao Ming just finished speaking.
The short Sugawara Keisuke bowed to Wang Anyi and others and spoke fluent Chinese:
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Gui, this is Sugawara Keisuke, please take care of me."
Wang Anyi raised her brows slightly, but quickly extended her hand towards the other party:
"Central Officer Sugawara, Consultant Hanpuri, I'm sorry, there were some problems on the road. It's about two hours later than expected, so I kept you two waiting for a long time."
Sugawara Keisuke's eyes flashed slightly, and then he laughed and said:
"Mr. Wang has come all the way, so we should serve him tea to welcome him. How can the host blame the guest?"
Sandor Hempry on the side saw this scene and said nothing.
On Wang Anyi's left side stood two men who were obviously translators. Sugawara Keisuke spoke fluent Chinese in an attempt to disrupt the Chinese people's rhythm. Wang Anyi responded by pointing out the positions of Sugawara Keisuke and Sandor Hempry.
This means that they have already mastered the information about the two of them.
As soon as the two parties met, they conducted a subtle test, which seemed to be a tie. However, as the initiator of the test, Sugawara Keisuke had to be more passive after all, so he could only use his identity as host and guest to force the battle.
However, Wang Anyi did not continue to criticize others, but said to Sugawara Keisuke after letting go:
"Mr. Sugawara Keisuke, our time is limited, so there is no need to be polite."
"I think it's better to get down to business and deliver the supplies as soon as possible."
Keisuke Sugawara failed to test Wang Anyi, so he gave up the idea of causing trouble:
"No problem, Mr. Wang, let's start the handover process now. This is the list of materials that you should hand over. Please take a look."
Say it.
Keisuke Sugawara took out two pre-arranged documents from his side and handed them to Wang Anyi and the three OPEC crude oil tanker leaders standing next to Wang Anyi.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The document is engraved with Chinese, neon and English characters, clearly marking the type, weight and price of crude oil that should be handed over, but the one in Wang Anyi’s hand
That one is thicker and has additional specific fuel information marked on it.
Wang Anyi did not greet Keisuke Sugawara politely, and immediately compared the list with Gui Zhaolin and three OPEC leaders.
More than ten minutes later.
Both the Chinese fleet and OPEC verified that there were no errors, and Keisuke Sugawara arranged for inspection personnel to go to the three oil tankers to conduct inspections accompanied by the fleet.
About five hours passed.
Neon's inspection personnel returned to the scene and brought back the test results:
There is no problem with crude oil.
Sugawara Keisuke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, there is still a lot of pressure on his shoulders this time. After all, this is the first time in modern times that the Chinese navy has arrived at Neon's homeland at close range. An accident may cause international disputes.
Fortunately, everything is going smoothly now, and China did not make any unexpected moves.
Once you get to this step, the rest of the process is very simple.
Keisuke Sugawara first inspected the six oil supply ships traveling with the Chinese ship. After confirming that there were no weapons on the supply ships, he guided these supply ships to the nearest Neon Maritime supply point to replenish fuel.
Another day passed.
The fully loaded oil supply ship returned to the fleet sequence, and the transaction between the two parties was officially completed.
"..."
Looking at the OPEC oil tanker that gradually began to sail towards Osaka, Sugawara Keisuke sincerely extended his hand to Wang Anyi for the first time:
"Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
Wang Anyi stretched out her hand to shake his hand, and said with a smile:
"No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Sugawara, now that the transaction is completed, how about we say goodbye?"
"no problem."
Keisuke Sugawara shook Wang Anyi's hand vigorously and said with emotion:
"Mr. Wang, I hope that one day you and I can meet again."
The last thing Keisuke Sugawara said was just a polite word. He thought that with the current international situation, there would be no possibility of dealing with the two sides for at least ten years.
Unexpectedly, Wang Anyi glanced at him meaningfully, and then looked at Sandor Hempry aside:
"Okay, Mr. Sugawara, Consultant Hanpri, we'll see you later."
Keisuke Sugawara had a question mark visible to the naked eye:
"?"

Recently, there have been a lot of accounts with AI illustrations in the book review area, and the quality of the illustrations is very poor... I even banned a few of them, but they still keep getting banned, which makes my head a little annoying. I have encountered similar problems with other books that I follow.
