I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[In 1878, the British Empire promulgated the "Law on Territorial Waters Jurisdiction", which established the British Empire's 3-nautical-mile territorial waters system. ]

[Later, the Hans Leopard Kingdom and Japan also recognized the "3-nautical-mile principle". ]

[So far, the 3-nautical-mile principle has been recognized by the major maritime powers in the world at that time. ]

[However, with the development of military technology, the range of coastal defense artillery has become higher and higher, and it has soon been improved to a point far exceeding 3 nautical miles. ]

[According to the principle that the range of artillery is the scope of territorial waters, the scope of territorial waters should exceed 3 nautical miles. ]

[As a result, more and more countries have declared territorial waters exceeding 3 nautical miles, and the declared scope has a trend of becoming wider and wider, and the scope declared by each country is different. ].

[This extremely chaotic territorial waters width has caused great trouble. Many warships have inexplicably sailed into other people's territorial waters. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing this, Li Shimin found that the "range theory" that the range of the cannon is the range of the territorial waters will indeed have more problems as time goes on.

For example, after the appearance of missiles in later generations, each country has an ultra-long range, and a big country like Longguo can even strike across the ocean.

In this case, the "range theory" is definitely not applicable.

So, how will the countries in later generations solve this problem in the end?

How did the founding leader teacher of Longguo get involved?

With these questions, Li Shimin continued to look at the giant screen in the sky.

……

【In 1930, the first international law codification conference was held in The Hague, Tulip Country. 45 countries attended the meeting, and 33 countries put forward different views, but 12 maritime powers such as Britain, the United States, Japan and Germany advocated the use of 3 nautical miles as a unified standard. 】

【Finally, Britain, the United States, Japan and Germany used their strength to overwhelm other countries and signed the "Hague Agreement", which uniformly stipulated that the territorial waters of all countries in the world are 3 nautical miles. 】

【Territorial waters are within the range of artillery, but the range of coastal defense artillery has exceeded 3 nautical miles, so why is the territorial waters still stipulated to be 3 nautical miles? 】

【Because the powerful warships in the world are almost all concentrated in the hands of 12 maritime powers such as Britain, the United States, Japan and Germany, the entire ocean of the earth belongs to them. 】

【The wider the territorial waters, the less power these 12 countries have, and the more trouble they have when passing through many narrow straits, so these maritime powers firmly disagree with the expansion of territorial waters. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji asked in confusion:

"What's the difference?"

"They have such a strong navy, who dares to cause trouble?"

Zhu Di replied casually:

"We still have to follow the rules on the surface to avoid giving people a chance to criticize us."

...

[As for other weak countries, even if they have coastal defense guns, they dare not turn against these maritime powers and can only accept the 3 nautical miles. ]

[So, the 3 nautical mile territorial rights becameThe legal basis of international conventions is the 1930 Hague Agreement. 】

……

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che was not surprised by this result.

When countries fight, sometimes it is very simple. The one with the bigger fist is right.

……

[In 1958, my country launched an artillery battle, and the overwhelming artillery shells covered the gate of Beijing. The defenders were in urgent need of assistance. 】

[The Eagle Sauce Country announced that it would escort the Guo Party fleet to about 3 nautical miles from the mainland. 】

[Why did the Eagle Sauce people only escort to 3 nautical miles? The teacher asked several experts. 】

[General Tao, commander of the East China Sea Fleet, replied: "This is a common practice in international law. Generally, three nautical miles along the coast are considered territorial waters of a country, and beyond three international nautical miles, it is international waters!"]

[At that time, the great legal scholar Ni explained in detail the ins and outs and historical origins of the 3-nautical-mile principle to the teacher, and explained that many countries opposed the 3-nautical-mile principle at the 1930 International Law Conference, but had to agree to it under the threat of powerful countries such as Britain, the United States, Japan and Germany.]

[At the same time, Ni suggested to the teacher that the width of Longguo's territorial waters be changed to 12 nautical miles, because 12 nautical miles just completely block the entrance to the Bohai Sea, which can completely turn the Bohai Sea into Longguo's internal sea and protect the security of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.]

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

A schematic diagram of the oceans surrounding my country appeared on the high-altitude giant screen.

On this map, the scope of Longguo's territorial waters with two different standards of 3 nautical miles and 12 nautical miles is clearly delineated.

The Great Ming Taizu plane.

After seeing the 12-nautical-mile standard for the territorial waters of the Dragon Kingdom, Zhu Yuanzhang praised:

"This is a good proposal."

Obviously, this 12-nautical-mile standard is very beneficial to the Dragon Kingdom.

Not only can the territorial waters be several times larger, but it can also protect the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang combined with the title of the video and roughly guessed that the leader of the Dragon Kingdom, the teacher, must have adopted this proposal.

However, this is inconsistent with the international rules set by the European and American powers at the time, and it is bound to be opposed by these countries.

How did the teacher replace the international rules of the 3-nautical-mile standard with the 12-nautical-mile standard?

Zhu Yuanzhang is very curious about this question now.

……

[If the Dragon Kingdom can increase its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles, it will be of great benefit to the Dragon Kingdom. 】

【But the downside is that it may lead to a violent conflict with Britain and the United States, and will not be recognized by the European and American powers. Several experts also pointed out this hidden danger to the instructor and suggested that the internationally recognized 3-nautical-mile principle should still be adopted. 】

【Afterwards, the instructor learned from General Huang, the Chief of the General Staff of our army who attended the meeting, that the effective range of our army's coastal defense artillery is now more than 12 nautical miles. 】

【So the instructor made a decision on the spot:

"It seems that for the sake of national security and prosperity, there should be a wider territorial sea. 々ˇ ."

"Coastal defense artillery canIf we shoot 12 nautical miles, the width of the territorial sea cannot be too stingy. The territorial sea of ​​the Dragon Kingdom is within the range of the cannon. ”】

……

Daqin plane.

Qin Shihuang’s eyes lit up.

“The territorial sea of ​​the Dragon Kingdom is within the range of the cannon.” This is too domineering!

He agrees with this style of doing things.

The country of China should be so domineering!

Rules set by foreigners are not the rules of China.

China should be the country that sets the rules.

Not only Qin Shihuang.

In many other In the dynasty plane, many emperors admired in their hearts:

This founding leader of the Dragon Kingdom in the future is so decisive!

He is really domineering!

……

[Regarding the suggestion of legal scholars Liu and Zhou to advocate a 3-nautical-mile territorial sea line based on the Hague Agreement to avoid international disputes, the teacher replied:

"The Hague Agreement is not an imperial decree, and it cannot be implemented according to the will of the United States, Britain and other countries. It is still beneficial for us to expand our territorial sea line.

Judging from all aspects, the war will not start for a while. We don't want to fight. Does the imperialism want to fight so much? I don't think so.

If we must fight, we are not afraid. We have already competed on the peninsula, but that's it."]

……

"Really domineering! ”

The ancient people of all dynasties praised again.

The leader of the Dragon Kingdom in later generations was really tough and domineering.

But it is true that the Dragon Kingdom has proved its strength through the founding war.

The Dragon Kingdom has the confidence and capital.

……

[On September 4, 1958, my country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the “Statement of the Dragon Government on Territorial Waters”, solemnly announcing to the world:

“The width of the Dragon Kingdom’s territorial waters is 12 nautical miles.”

“All foreign aircraft and military ships shall not enter the Dragon Kingdom’s territorial waters and its airspace without the permission of the Dragon Government. ”]

[After this news was announced, all European and American capitalist countries jumped out to oppose it, accusing Longguo of violating relevant provisions of international law and refusing to recognize Longguo’s declared 12-nautical-mile territorial rights.]

[On September 7, a mixed formation of the Guodang Fleet’s aid warships and US ships began to rush to Jingmen, deliberately entering within 12 nautical miles of Longguo’s mainland.]

[As soon as it entered 12 nautical miles, Longguo’s coastal defense artillery opened fire.]

…

“How dare you!”

The ancients of all dynasties were stunned for a moment, and then they all praised:

“Good! Well done!”

“Just like that! ”

The courage to act decisively truly demonstrates Longguo’s determination to redraw its territorial waters even at the cost of a fight.

Only in this way can there be a real deterrent effect!

…

[At the moment of firing, the Guodang fleet and the US warships separated, and the Eagle Sauce country warships immediately retreated beyond the range of Longguo’s coastal defense guns, that is, out of the 12-nautical-mile range. ]

[So the shells hit the Guodang fleet. In half a day, our army fired more than 20,000 shells, sinking 3 enemy ships and damaging several others. ]

[At that time, the Guodang warships were anxious and communicated directly in plain language. Our military radio station intercepted an interesting scene. ]

[Guodang warships: Where are our friends from the Eagle Sauce Country?

Xinyang: They ran away a long time ago.

Guodang warships: The Eagle Sauce Country guys are really nothing.

Xinyang: The Seventh Fleet is a bastard. ]

[The Eagle Sauce Country insists that the territorial waters of the mainland are only 3 nautical miles wide, while the Dragon Country claims that it has 12 nautical miles of territorial waters. ]

[As a result, when the gunfire sounded, the Eagle Sauce Country warships automatically withdrew beyond 12 nautical miles. 】

……

"Haha, you are really as cowardly as a mouse."

Many ancient people from all dynasties sneered.

……

[On September 10, the Congress of the Eagle Country passed a resolution authorizing the President of the Eagle Country to use armed forces to protect our opponents. Secretary of State Dulles made a lot of harsh words, saying that if the Dragon Country army dared to do this and that, the Eagle Country would do this and that, etc. 】

[On September 11, the Eagle Country sent another 4 warships to protect the 11-ship Guo Party fleet heading towards our territorial waters. 】

[Then, our army still ignored the warning of the Eagle Country and bombarded the Guo Party fleet again. 】

[The Eagle Country warships also turned around and ran away, once again withdrawing from the range of our coastal defense artillery. 】

……

The Great Ming Taizu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the huge screen in the sky and sneered:

"Looking fierce but weak, it only makes people laugh."

In his opinion, the series of actions of the Eagle Country did not have the momentum of a superpower at all.

He felt that perhaps the Eagle Country was defeated by the Dragon Country in the founding war, and the shadow left was too big.

……

[Whether the Eagle Country verbally recognizes the 12-nautical-mile territorial sovereignty of the Dragon Country, it has already recognized it in fact, and the warships have never dared to enter the 12-nautical-mile territorial sovereignty of the Dragon Country. ]

[From then on, all countries in the world tacitly acknowledged that the territorial sovereignty of the Dragon Country is 12 nautical miles, and no foreign warship dared to trespass into the Bohai Strait of the Dragon Country. ]

[Since the width of the Dragon Country's territorial waters has increased to 12 nautical miles, why is the width of our country's territorial waters only 3 nautical miles? ]

[Many countries quarreled over this matter. 】

[In 1973, the first meeting of the Third Conference on the Law of the Sea was held. Many countries demanded that the 3-nautical-mile territorial sea rights must be abolished, based on the 12-nautical-mile territorial sea of ​​Longguo. The United Kingdom, the United States and other countries still strongly opposed it, but they could no longer suppress the voices of doubt. 】

[In 1982, the United Nations promulgated the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which stipulates that "each country has the right to determine a territorial sea not exceeding 12 nautical miles." 】

……

"So that's it."

The ancients of all dynasties suddenly realized it.

In this way, Longguo did forcibly break the 3-nautical-mile territorial sea line rule set by Yingjiangguo and other countries, re-established new international territorial waters standards.

Without Longguo taking the lead in breaking this rule, other countries would not dare to fight against the Eagle Sauce Country and other countries.

……

[So, now the territorial waters of most countries are 12 nautical miles wide. ]

[Even countries such as the Eagle Sauce Country and the British Empire that insisted on 3 nautical miles have changed their territorial waters to 12 nautical miles. ]

[The core reason for this change in international law is the large-scale bombardment of Longguo artillery in 1958, which frightened the Eagle Sauce country's warships to retreat immediately to 12 nautical miles from the mainland twice in a row. ]

[In 1958, the Eagle Sauce country accused Longguo of violating international law. ]

[In 1982, Longguo changed international law and it was no longer illegal. 】

……

“¨． Nothing wrong.”

Many ancient people in all dynasties smiled.

……

[Although the current international law stipulates that countries have the right to determine territorial waters not exceeding 12 nautical miles, not every country will declare such a wide territorial waters. 】

[Some countries still claim territorial waters of 3 nautical miles, but recognize the territorial waters of 12 nautical miles of other countries. 】

[Are there such stupid countries in the world? 】

[Don’t mention it, there are, and our neighboring Japan is one of them. 】

[The Territorial Waters and Contiguous Waters Law formulated by Japan itself stipulates 4 special sea areas, giving up the right to 12 nautical miles of territorial waters in 4 key straits of its own country, and shrinking its territorial waters to 3 nautical miles, so that foreign warships can enter and exit these 4 Japanese straits at will. 】

……

"Voluntarily give up the interests of one's own country to facilitate other countries?"

Seeing this, many ancient people from all dynasties were stunned.

Is the Japanese government mentally ill?

How could it do such an incredible thing?

Next.

Some ancient people felt that there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

With the bad character of Japan, it is absolutely impossible to do such a good thing out of thin air.

There must be another reason.

……

[The reason why Japan did this is of course not to facilitate the warships of other countries, but to facilitate the warships of the Eagle Sauce Country. 】

[With this law, it will be much more convenient for the warships of the Eagle Sauce Country to sail in the Japanese sea. 】

【As for what to do if foreign warships use these four straits to threaten Japan, Japan has never considered it, because the Eagle Sauce country is here, and the entire ocean on the earth belongs to the Eagle Sauce country. 】

……

"Bah! Despicable! (Li Li Zhao)"

After learning that Japan did such a stupid thing to please the Eagle Sauce country, many ancient people in the past dynasties could not help but speak with contempt.

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di's eyes were thoughtful.

He was thinking back to the video he had seen before that the Eagle Sauce country transformed Japan.

The fact that Japan was so servile in front of the Eagle Sauce country was enough to prove that the Eagle Sauce country was the real tyrant.Jiangguo's transformation of Waguo was relatively successful.

Zhu Di was thinking about the transformation methods of Yingjiangguo at this moment, wanting to see if there was anything he could learn from them, and whether he could use some similar methods to transform Jiaozhi, so as to completely conquer Jiaozhi and incorporate it into the Ming Dynasty.

……

[So, in 2023, the warships of Longguo and Maoxiongguo jointly crossed the Tsugaru Strait of Waguo and the Miyako Strait. The legal basis is here. ]

[Although no matter how you look at it, the warships are sailing in the most sensitive areas of Waguo, and the citizens of Waguo can even see the muzzles of the warships of the two countries with their naked eyes. ]

[But in fact, this behavior did not violate international law at all. ]

[After all, Waguo only has 3 nautical miles of territorial rights in these straits, which is what Waguo itself declared. ]

[From the root, this situation occurred because Waguo was a colony of Yingjiangguo, and all national interests must revolve around Yingjiangguo. 】

【That's why such a rule was made. 】

【And Japan couldn't afford to offend Longguo and Maoxiongguo, so it could only allow Longguo and Maoxiongguo's fleets to repeatedly cross sensitive waters, which was regarded as the best place for Longguo to counterattack the ocean provocation of Eagle Sauce. 】

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

The image of Longguo warships and Maoxiongguo warships crossing the Japanese strait very close to Japan appeared on the high-altitude giant screen.

Looking at this scene, many ancient people in all dynasties gloated:

"It's what they deserve! Haha!"

This can't be blamed on Longguo for sending a fleet to bully our country.

It's Japan itself that gave up the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters.

The Longguo fleet is completely operating in non-Japanese territorial waters, which is absolutely legal.

Many ancient people felt that this reasonable and legal act of bullying Japan was really pleasing to watch.
