Chapter 472: Pulling down Marshal Mai (second update, please subscribe)
It turns out there is such enjoyment in life!
In the early morning, Wang Quanfu walked out of the bedroom. As soon as he went out, he saw his woman through the glass on the door.
The sun shone on Ayou's body, and he looked at her dimly, her fair face still beautiful.
Wang Quanfu felt like he had changed overnight.
Yesterday, he followed her into this transitional apartment with his luggage. Although it was only a small two-room apartment, here he felt the beauty that he had never experienced before in his life.
Feeling the man's gaze, Ayou, who was busy in the kitchen, turned to look at him and asked.
"Quanfu, what do you want to eat in the morning?"
"That's fine, you can eat anything. By the way, where's Ashin?"
"Ah Xin is reciting English on the balcony.”
The simple conversation made Wang Quanfu feel comfortable and warm. This was the life he wanted.
"Well, let Ashin learn English well. I heard that Dongning University also uses foreign languages."
"College? I never thought that Ashin would go to college."
Despite what he said, Ayou still looked at Wang Quanfu happily, opened the door and left.
After the woman left, Wang Quanfu stood in the living room enjoying everything. Looking at this small room, his eyes fell on their family portrait on the wall - him, Ayou and Axin He said softly.
"This is what home feels like..."
Home!
Wang Quanfu knew that he had a home of his own and a family!
At around seven o'clock, hundreds of thousands of people poured out of various communities in Dongning City, and the bustling people rushed towards their respective destinations. Like many people, Wang Quanfu also rushed to the public platform. While he was waiting for the bus, the cry of a newspaper seller came from the newsstand not far away.
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, look at the heroic character of the "Family Carnival" on the ocean, ramming and sinking three Japanese ships one after another!"
Wang Quanfu was startled by the newspaper seller's shout, and so were most of the others. Those who were interested even ran directly to the newsstand regardless of the cars that were about to enter the station.
When newspaper buyers crowded into the car, someone around them immediately asked.
"How to say it, how to say it? Where was Little Japan's ship hit and sunk?"
"Yes, that's right, what caused Little Japan to be hit? We suffered a loss Are you done?”
“Didn’t you hear it on the news?”
"Well done! Send all those little Japans into the sea to feed the Dragon King..."
For a time, the bus was full of voices of approval. Regarding the accident in the Pacific, people only cared about two things - It’s good if you don’t suffer a loss, but it’s even better if Little Japan suffers a loss.
It can only be said that people's mood is upright. Just as people in Dongning were talking about the impact incident, thousands of kilometers away in Nanyang, the news also appeared in major newspapers. For the press...this is a really big deal.
Three Japanese fishing boats were sunk, 57 Japanese fishermen were missing, and only 11 were rescued... This happened in the Caroline Islands!
Although it is a United Nations trusteeship, it was a Japanese trusteeship before the war... It is almost considered Japan's "traditional sea area".
This thing seems a bit... cool!
“Who said that was the traditional sea area of Little Japan!”
Li Yian raised his eyebrows and said to Li Guoren.
“The Caroline Islands are a United Nations Trusteeship, and the area where the collision occurred was on the high seas. The Family Portrait was acting in legitimate defense!”
Li Guoren was not surprised by this result. , as we all know, there is grudge between the president and the Japanese. "Sir, that's what I said, but that sea area is a fishing area granted to Japan by the Allied President, and the sea area where the conflict occurred is within the MacArthur Line."
The so-called "MacArthur Line" refers to the reconstruction of the Japanese economy after the war. The Alliance General Assembly has repeatedly ordered the "Recognized Area for Japanese Fishing and Whaling Fisheries" to allow them to fish within the area. Last year, Japan suffered from a serious food shortage. In order to alleviate the famine, the Allied General Assembly once again ordered the expansion of fishing areas, not only authorizing Japan to conduct mothership fishing in the southern equatorial areas, including the waters around the Caroline Islands, Mariana Islands and Marshall Islands. Japanese vessels are even allowed to fish within authorized areas beyond 3 miles from any landmass, up from 12 miles previously.
This move was naturally opposed by various countries. Due to the resistance of the Far East Council member states, the United States' actions to help Japan expand its fishing were somewhat restrained. But that is to say, it is a restraint to a certain extent.
“Have we admitted the “MacArthur Line”?”
Li Yian asked rhetorically.
"Don't forget, like Australia, we insist on limiting Japan's fishing areas to the areas specified in 47 years and oppose further expansion; South Korea and the Philippines also insist on rejecting Japanese fishing off their coasts. Therefore, the "MacArthur Line" does not exist , since they don’t exist, then you don’t have to pay attention to them!”
Thinking of MacArthur’s actions to help Japan, Li Yi’an felt helpless. The Tokyo Trial is also extremely unsatisfactory, even though there were more in history. The war criminals were sentenced to death, but under the protection of Marshal Mai, Hirohito still escaped.
"If that's the case, then let's take this as our official response that we only recognize the 1947 fishing zone delineation?"
Faced with Li Guoren's inquiry, Li Yi'an thought for a while, Slowly stood up from the desk and walked around the office. He stood in front of the window and stared out the window. The issue he was thinking about at this time was not the fishing boat collision incident in the Pacific Ocean, but how to use this incident to leverage a larger incident.
For example, use this matter to influence the situation in the Far East!
Not only the situation in the Far East, but it may even affect the situation on the peninsula next year. Who knows?
Take a puff of cigar, and when exhaling the smoke, Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth and said softly.
“It seems to be an opportunity!”
I thought for a moment, then turned around, then looked at Li Guoren, took a few puffs of cigarette, put half of the cigar on the ashtray, Then he sat down at the table and asked:
"Guoren, do you think we have a chance to use this matter to bring down Marshal Mai!"
"What?"
Li Guoren said in surprise.
“Bring Marshal Mai down?”
“Yes, that guy’s partiality towards Japan in recent years has been obvious to all, even though at the insistence of the Far East Committee, many War criminals have been punished appropriately, but many people still escaped, and that guy is deliberately trying to help Japan recover. This is undoubtedly not in our interests, so I plan to bring that guy down."
Although the relationship with Marshal Mai is not bad, it is only a personal relationship. They have fundamental differences on the issue of Japan. Marshal Mai is dreaming of "reshaping the father of Japan" there. .
In order to achieve this wish, he even let Hirohito go.
Thinking of this, Li Yian felt heartbroken. I took Hara Setsuko away, but I never thought that the Japanese would send other women away. Hey, it’s a beauty trap... It’s always a trap, and women are just supporting roles in the scheme. Without Hara Setsuko, there would still be There can be Bi Jiezi, Mei Jiezi...
"Use this matter to bring down Marshal Mai... This, this doesn't seem to be... easy!"
Li Guoren even wanted to To say "unrealistic", after all, Marshal Mai is the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Allied Forces, and the United States is still counting on him to hold up southern Japan, especially when the Russians control northern Japan.
“Now that the relationship between the United States and Russia is at stake, the United States must use Japan as a base to compete with Russia. Under such circumstances, it seems not easy for us to bring down Marshal Mai!”

"Indeed, it is indeed not easy."
After thinking about it, Li Yian said.
“But what if we make this matter a big deal! The kind of trouble that gets out of hand.”
