Regarding the S project, Lanling is also planning to cooperate with other countries in research and development.
After all, there are some aspects of this project that would be difficult to succeed relying solely on Lan Ling's strength.
But other countries are not clear about this.
But even so, Lan Ling will not curry favor with other countries to cooperate. Not only that, they can also take advantage of it to gain some benefits.
Therefore, when several countries, led by China, the United States, and Russia, gave Lan Ling benefits, Lan Ling was still not satisfied, and the matter remained at a stalemate. After several months of talks, there was still no agreement.
This time, we can take advantage of this opportunity to finalize the S project.
"But in the United States..."
A senior diplomat tried to say.
"The United States is currently silent because it has not yet investigated the purpose of our occupation of the Sanyang Sea."
"Yes! The United States has always been wary of our Lanling's expansion."
"The Sanyang Sea area is not large, but it is not small either, with an area of 300,000 square kilometers. There are also many islands, including 6 large islands and 12 archipelagos. Therefore, the US will probably not easily agree before figuring out our purpose."
"Also, I'm afraid the Chi Nation will not give up the Sanyang Sea easily."
"Humph! This matter is no longer up to the Chi Kingdom to decide."
"Back then, the Chi Nation wanted the sovereignty of the Sanyang Sea, but was blocked by us, Lan Ling. They only obtained the exclusive economic rights of the Sanyang Sea and signed a contract that strictly prohibited the establishment of military bases in the Sanyang Sea. However, they have violated this treaty."
"Yes! They established a military base, which violated the treaty of that year, so we have the right to take back the Sanyang Sea by force. Over the years, Chi Nation has also gained a lot of benefits from the Sanyang Sea, and it is time to be content."
"I agree. Let's just use this incident to directly seize the sovereignty of Sanyang Sea."
"right."
“I agree.”
The high-ranking officials of Lanling Kingdom were discussing this.
Ling Wenbo sat behind the desk, silent.
After a long while, he said, "Our goal is to obtain the sovereignty of the six major islands, the 12 major archipelagos, and the 200 nautical miles around the islands. The rest of the waters will be included in Lanling's exclusive economic zone."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
Ling Zhou sat aside, not saying a word, just listening silently. There was no need for him to speak on such matters.
However, in this way, Lanling's territory would be larger.
None of the six major islands in the Sanyang Sea is much smaller than the main island of Lanling. The largest one is 3,500 square kilometers, but it is only 100 square kilometers smaller than the main island of Lanling with an area of 3,600 square kilometers.
The smaller islands are all around 3,000 square kilometers.
If the 12 archipelagos were added, Lanling's territory would at least increase several times.
Ling Zhou estimated that once this matter was finalized, Lanling's territory and territorial waters would reach at least 100,000 square kilometers. With the exclusive economic zone, it would reach 320,000 square kilometers.
Among them, the land area alone reaches 60,000 square kilometers.
It is precisely because of this that the United States has hesitated again and again.
After this incident, the United States became even more wary of Lan Ling's military background.
The only constraint on the Lanling Kingdom is that it has a small land area and a small population, so it cannot develop much.
This time, Lanling’s land area has increased several times, which is not good news for the United States.
However, even if it increased several times to 100,000 square kilometers, it was still not enough for the United States to achieve significant development in Lanling, so they hesitated, wondering whether to nod in support of Lanling.
If you don't support me, I will turn against Lan Ling.
But it doesn't seem worth it to turn against Lan Ling because of this.
If I support it, I may feel unwilling.
Of course, it’s okay to neither support nor oppose.
The United States, the world's largest country, is unwilling to be a bystander in this matter, and all the benefits are taken by China, Russia and other countries. After all, supporting Lan Ling is not in vain, and Lan Ling also needs to pay some price.
For a moment, the United States regretted provoking this incident.
Feeling the provocation from the Chi Kingdom aroused Lan Ling's ambition.
In the end, the United States chose to nod and support Lan Ling's decision.
But it wasn't in vain that I agreed.
Since we can't stop it, let's try to get more benefits.
Even the United States is jealous of some of Lanling's military technologies.
Subsequently, after a month-long negotiation and after reaching cooperation on several military projects, the United States officially announced its support for Lanling to resolve the dispute in the Sanyang waters.
…
With the United States voicing its support for Lan Ling, the matter has been defined.
For a moment, the world was in an uproar.
"Oh my god, is the Sanyang Sea really going to belong to the Lanling Kingdom?"
"Tsk tsk! This way, Lan Ling will be very rich."
"Yes! There are many islands in the Sanyang Sea that are suitable for planting. At least for crops, Lan Ling will not have to rely solely on imports in the future."
"In this way, Lan Ling will become more and more powerful in the future."
"I really don't know what the United States is thinking. Why would it agree to this?"
"It is said that the Chi Kingdom and the Lanling Kingdom have always had disputes in the Sanyang Sea."
"Yes, the first monarch of Lanling Kingdom was not very ambitious and did not force the Sanyang Sea to be included in Lanling's territory. But Chi Kingdom is very ambitious and wants to take over the Sanyang Sea. After all, the Sanyang Sea has tens of thousands of square kilometers of islands."
"That's true, but the Sanyang Sea is adjacent to Lanling after all. Although the Lanling Kingdom didn't have big ambitions at that time, it wouldn't allow it."
"So that's why! Later, with the interference of the United States, the Sanyang Sea became the exclusive economic zone of Chi Country. Chi Country only has the right to use the six major islands and 12 archipelagos in the Sanyang Sea, but not the sovereignty."
"Yes! I just didn't expect that a hundred years later, this small sea area would still be included in the map of Lanling Kingdom."
“It’s really quite sad.”
It is indeed as netizens have discussed. Because of the special geographical location of the Sanyang Sea, there has been intense dispute over the sovereignty of the Sanyang Sea since the founding of the Lanling Kingdom, especially after the death of the first generation of Lanling monarchs.
Chi Kingdom and Lanling Kingdom have been in this sea area for nearly a hundred years since the death of the first monarch of Lanling. After all, the first monarch of Lanling had no ambition, but it does not mean that the monarchs of the later generations have no ambition! They are also willing to watch a vicious wolf guarding the door!
So, conflicts arise.
However, as long as the Chi Kingdom did not go too far, it would not be targeted too much.
Even if we discover a world-class oil field, we would still want to acquire it using gentle means.
Until a month ago, Chi Kingdom and Fei Kingdom launched a second invasion provocation against Lanling after their first invasion ten years ago, which completely angered Ling Wenbo and Lanling's top management.
Therefore, it is better to go all out and drive the Chi Kingdom out of the Sanyang Waters completely and expand the territory of Lanling.
