"Your Majesty, we have detained a total of thirteen fishermen and a large fishing boat.”
Don't detain the eighteen subjects.
Hearing this, Qi Yang's expression turned even colder.
His eyes could not help but narrow slightly. Country F was simply provoking him.
It had not been long since Qi Yang became king.
Country F did such a thing to Penglai.
If Qi Yang did not handle it well, his influence and credibility in Penglai would drop sharply.
In addition, this matter might very well change the perception of the Penglai Kingdom by the various countries in the world.
Because Penglai was a monarchical country.
Qi Yang, the king, could represent the entire country.
If it was not handled well, Penglai would be labeled as weak internationally.
"Then let me ask you, did those fishermen enter Country F's waters to fish?”
? Qi Yang asked again," Tell me honestly so I can handle this matter better."”
If these fishermen really entered Country F's waters…
Then Country F did have the right to detain these fishermen.
If not, then it was Country F causing trouble.
The way to deal with it would be completely different.
Ye Xiong gave Qi Yang a firm answer.
"No, our fishermen are fishing near Penghu Island. According to the United Nations Convention on the Seas, with Penghu Island as the baseline, the waters beyond twelve nautical miles belong to our country's territorial waters. We can formulate laws and regulations to manage and use its resources.”
After a slight pause, Ye Xiong continued,""Even if it's doubled by 24 nautical miles, it's still our country's adjacent sea area. 200 nautical miles further out is our country's exclusive economic zone.”
When Qi Yang heard that, he nodded slightly. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea did have such a few provisions.
In other words, Country F had actually rushed to the innermost sea area of Penglai Kingdom and detained their fishing boats and fishermen!
Ye Xiong said to Qi Yang with an ugly expression,""Your Majesty, this matter is very bad. It is said that Country F deliberately detained our fishermen, and the matter has already begun to ferment.”
Qi Yang frowned. At this moment, he had roughly figured out the ins and outs of this matter.
It could be said that this was all Country F's fault.
Or rather, it must be Country F deliberately causing trouble.
Since that was the case, this matter was easy to handle.
Beat him up!
"Humph! Today, they can come in and detain our fishermen. Tomorrow, they can detain our oil and our gold. This is provocation!”
? Qi Yang said coldly," This is a provocation to me, the king. This is a provocation to the Penglai Kingdom!"”
At this moment, Qi Yang had already made up his mind to teach Country F a lesson.
How dare he detain a citizen of the Penglai Kingdom!
Detain his people!
"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?"
Ye Xiong asked curiously.
"Mobilize the warships."
Qi Yang said coldly.
"But…but, Your Majesty, will this cause an international dispute?”
Xiu-Er, who was behind Qi Yang, suddenly said.
"International dispute? From the moment those monkeys in Country F started causing trouble, this was already an international dispute!”
Qi Yang smiled disdainfully,"How did Father deal with this kind of thing?"”
"Diplomacy."
"Your Majesty, you…" Ye Xiong blurted out.
"Diplomacy? This matter was obviously caused by Country F's people, and it had been planned for a long time. If we use diplomacy, how long do you think it will take?”
Qi Yang smiled coldly and said,""We can't back down on this matter. I represent this country. If this is not handled well, it is likely to affect the international attitude towards Penglai during my reign.”
Ye Xiong and Xiu-Er fell silent when they heard Qi Yang's words.
"Those are my people. How can I not be angry when faced with Country F's provocation!”
After a slight pause, he continued,"As the captain of the royal guards, aren't you angry?？”
Ye Xiong clenched his fists when he heard Qi Yang's words.
Of course he was angry!
He was extremely furious.
However, he felt more like a coward.
Facing a small country like Country F, he was actually unable to protect the safety of his citizens.
"Your Majesty, tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Ye Xiong asked solemnly, as if he was at Qi Yang's disposal.
? Qi Yang smiled." Very good. I will give you a surprise. You will see the new navy of Penglai!"”
In fact, Qi Yang didn't blame Ye Xiong.
He could not be blamed for this.
As an oil country, although they had a lot of money, they had never been able to buy high-end combat weapons.
As for Country F, the American father who followed them might not have very advanced equipment.
But compared to Penglai, it was much stronger.
" A brand new navy?!"
Ye Xiong was shocked when he heard Qi Yang's words.""When did Penglai come?"
Previously, it could be said that the entire combat strength of Penglai was the Penglai Royal Police Force.
Now that Ye Xiong had heard about the army, he was naturally shocked.
