Qin Chuan frowned when he heard this.
Fishermen from the Loulan Kingdom were actually arrested by the Penang patrol fleet?
"First Elder, tell me the details.”Qin Chuan said seriously.
The navy general Yuan Ye quickly explained,""Your Majesty, this is what happened: Just half an hour ago, our fishermen went out to fish. When the fishing boat docked, it was suddenly asked to be inspected by the Penang patrol boat. The Penang patrol boat falsely accused our fishermen of entering the territorial waters of the Penang Kingdom and arrested our fishermen indiscriminately and detained our fishing boat!”
Qin Chuan immediately stood up.
Penang was very close to the Loulan Kingdom, facing each other across the sea.
"How many fishermen have we been detained?”Qin Chuan immediately asked.
Vice Admiral Yuan Ye answered quickly,""Your Majesty, we've detained a total of 18 fishermen and a large fishing boat.”
18 citizens of the Loulan Kingdom were detained!
Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes. This was a provocation!
Qin Chuan had just become the king not long ago, and he had already encountered such a major incident. If he did not handle it well, his prestige and influence in the country would plummet.
If it was not handled properly, it would create an image of the Loulan Kingdom being weak, and the prestige of the country would suffer a huge blow.
"The crux of the matter is, did those fishermen enter the waters of Penang to fish?”Qin Chuan asked.
In fact, if these fishermen really broke into the waters of Penang to fish, Penang did have the power to detain them. After all, it was a dispute between countries and it was very complicated.
Yuan Ye gave the answer that Qin Chuan hoped for. Yuan Ye said,"No, our fishermen are fishing near Red Moon Island.”
"According to the United Nations Convention on the Seas, with Red Moon Island as the baseline, 12 nautical miles outside belongs to our country's territorial waters. The 200 nautical miles outside is our country's exclusive economic zone. It doesn't belong to our country's territory, but it enjoys the rights of resource exploitation and ocean space. Therefore, the fishermen's fishing behavior was completely legal. According to the situation at that time, the fishermen were fishing in our country's exclusive economic zone!”Yuan Ye replied.
Qin Chuan nodded. The United Nations Convention on the Seas did indeed have such a rule!
In other words, Penang had charged into the territory of the Loulan Kingdom. Not only had they detained the fishing boat, but they had also arrested 18 fishermen!
Even Yuan Ye's face was filled with anger."This incident is very bad. It can be said that Penang deliberately detained our fishing boats and fishermen. At present, the matter has fermented and aroused public anger in the country.”
Qin Chuan furrowed his brows. He had roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
In other words, this was all a provocation from Penang, and the Loulan Kingdom had done nothing wrong.
Since that was the case, it would be easy!
Qin Chuan realized that this was also an opportunity. If he could handle this matter well, his reputation in the country would definitely soar.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan had already made his decision. He still had 7000 reputation points, which was enough to exchange for military weapons. He wanted to teach Penang a lesson!
How dare he detain a citizen of the Loulan Kingdom!
This time, Penang actually provoked him directly. He was really courting death.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan already had a plan.
" Your Majesty, many fishermen have gathered in the city to cause trouble. They have requested the government to come forward to negotiate and solve this problem. Our administrative officer is under a lot of pressure." Qin Zhongxiao asked carefully.
"Bring me to the scene. I'll appease these fishermen." Qin Chuan made a prompt decision.”
"Yes, sir!" Qin Zhongxiao heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Majesty would calmly deal with the problem this time. Qin Zhongxiao was very pleased.
Qin Chuan's exclusive Rolls-Royce was immediately driven out by the chauffeur. Qin Chuan, Qin Zhongxiao, and Yuan Ye took the car and headed there.
On the way, Qin Chuan had already decided to exchange for military weapons from the system.
Moreover, he wanted to exchange for the navy!
Qin Chuan's current 7,000 reputation points were not enough to exchange for the ultimate weapon of the navy, the aircraft carrier.
However, 7,000 Reputation Points was not a small amount, and there were many things that could be exchanged.
" Frigate: 1000 points.”
" Destroyer: 2000 points.”
" Advanced Destroyer: 3000 points.”
"Advanced Destroyer Fleet: 7000 points.”
Qin Chuan's eyes lit up. His current points were just enough to exchange for an advanced destroyer fleet!
This was more in line with Qin Chuan's expectations.
Destroyers were one of the most important types of ships in the modern navy. They had been used until now. Many battleships and cruisers had been eliminated, but the destroyer had been continuously improved and used in the current war.
The modern destroyer was equipped with anti-air, anti-submarine, sea and other weapons. It had a variety of functions and strong overall strength.
"System, which warships are included in the Advanced Destroyer Fleet?”Qin Chuan immediately asked.
The system's pleasant voice sounded." Reporting to the host. The advanced destroyer fleet contains three of the most advanced 'Aegis Destroyers' equipped with six frigates and the necessary personnel. With the host's current points, exchanging for the destroyer fleet is the most cost-effective.”
Hearing the system's explanation, Qin Chuan's heart jolted.
Although he didn't know much about military affairs, the system mentioned that it was the most advanced destroyer in the current technology, so he didn't hesitate to exchange for it.
" Exchange for advanced destroyer fleet!" Qin Chuan immediately said.
"Yes!" Date:08 29 2019 6:00PM
