Under the attention of the whole world, the door of the peace talks between the Emerald Island and Japan was finally opened after nearly a day.
When the door of the conference room opened, the eyes of media reporters from all over the world and the cameras of cameramen were all focused on the scene inside the door.
Amid the noise, Jiang Cheng, the owner of Emerald Island, and General Heijuro Togo, the Japanese representative, walked out of the gate at the same time, each holding a document.
However, the expressions of the two people were very different.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng still had that spring-breezy smile on his face. The confident smile on his face seemed to make anyone feel his unique personal charm, and Jiang Cheng had displayed this charm more than once on major occasions around the world.
But looking at the other side, it's worse.
As a famous war god in Japan, Heijiurō Togo now looked like a defeated deserter, with a gray face, dull eyes and a stiff expression.
With such a huge contrast, even without asking, the reporters and netizens who watched this scene through the live broadcast had vaguely guessed something.
The reporters who saw this scene were stunned for a moment, but they reacted immediately and swarmed over, surrounding the two people.
"Master Jiang Cheng, could you please tell us what the results of this meeting were?"
The reporter from ABC in the United States was the first to ask Jiang Cheng questions.
Obviously, this issue is also a concern of all netizens around the world.
"I think the result of today's peace talks will have a far-reaching impact on the stability of the entire Asian situation in the future. In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to thank General Heijiurō Togo for his contribution to this peace."
Jiang Cheng responded to the ABC reporter's question with a faint smile on his face.
On the other hand, after hearing these words, Togo Heijuro's face became even darker.
In the following time, many media reporters surrounded the two people with their cameras and asked a variety of questions.
However, in response to these questions, Jiang Cheng and Togo Heijiurō both gave a few simple answers in tacit understanding, without saying anything specific. They only solemnly announced to the world that both sides were willing to reach a peace agreement and announced that the warship confrontation had come to an end.
Such a result was obviously unexpected by everyone. It not only confused the reporters, but also made the netizens who were watching the live broadcast confused about the situation.
They could only see that a peaceful outcome was inevitable in this round of talks, but it was unclear how the two sides would make concessions.
Moreover, from the expressions on both sides' faces, it seems that Emerald Island should have won a great victory. As for Japan, it is very likely that it made great concessions. Of course, it had to do so.
Faced with the two people's answers, the reporters knew that they could not ask anything more questions, and the huge meeting came to an end.
Of course, after the announcement, Jiang Cheng and Togo Heijiurō still read out the results of the meeting in front of everyone.
First, there are three outcomes of the agreement.
First, from now on, the two sides will officially end the warship standoff. Both Japan and Emerald Island will withdraw their fleets and restore peace to the sea area where the incident occurred.
Second, in the days ahead, the two sides will strengthen communication on maritime boundary issues and prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Third, the Japanese side recognized that the sovereignty of the newly established islands belonged to Emerald Island.
…
After the result of this agreement was revealed, it quickly spread on the Internet and attracted the attention of many netizens.
"Haha! The result is clear. The Japanese must have given in."
"Hahaha, Japan recognizes the sovereignty of artificial islands? Wow, this is definitely big news! The island owner Jiang is awesome!"
"Oh my god, how much will Emerald Island's territorial waters expand this time!"
"The territorial waters may not be large, but the most important thing is that the strategic depth has been greatly enhanced. Just imagine that Emerald Island is nearly 100 nautical miles away from this artificial island. Although the waters in between still belong to international public waters, if Emerald Island insists on strengthening patrols in this area, I'm sure no ships would dare to operate here, right? So, this is still Emerald Island's sphere of influence!"
"The above answer is correct! Emerald Island made a very smart move! By building an artificial island, Emerald Island's sphere of influence has been extended by more than 100 nautical miles. This is definitely the first step towards the Pacific Ocean! Master Jiang is awesome!"
"However, I am more curious about what methods the island master Jiang used to make the arrogant Japanese admit defeat. You know, this time Japan agreed to withdraw its fleet, which is equivalent to tacitly approving the island-building plan of Emerald Island. What is lost is not just a piece of sea area, but a loss of nearly 100 nautical miles of strategic depth. This decision will prevent Japan from easily threatening the safety of Emerald Island in the future!"
"I agree. The Japanese have suffered a big loss this time. Judging from the agreement reached by both parties, they have basically acknowledged the established fact that Emerald Island has been built into an island."
"You are all wrong! International law is only used to constrain small countries. How can a truly great country be constrained by international law? This incident is also true. The Emerald Island and Japan are competing with each other in terms of comprehensive strength. Since Japan has made huge concessions in this meeting, it proves that it is slightly inferior in strength. Or it can be said that it does not dare to compete head-on with the Emerald Island, so this result is not surprising."
"The analysis makes sense! Japan has great ambitions. In recent years, it has been projecting power to the Pacific Ocean, and even wants to compete with the United States. In this incident, although Japan can use all its strength to fight the Emerald Island, the consequences are also very bleak. It may lose the ability to compete for Pacific hegemony. Under such critical conditions, it must be afraid to give it a try. What's more, the voices of the whole world are almost on the side of the Emerald Island, which makes it even more hesitant. It is also expected that it will make concessions this time."
In this way, netizens from all over the world are expressing their opinions on the Internet.
Although from the perspective of ordinary people, they may not see it so deeply, but they can still see some clues.
That is, the comprehensive strength of the Emerald Island has made it impossible for Japan to ignore it, and it has even reached the point of being wary of it. However, because it has greater ambitions, it has to make this compromise.
