Most of the guests present were politicians from various countries. They had some vision and insight. They certainly would not simply think that Hai Han’s purpose of sending troops to intervene in other countries’ civil wars was simply out of kindness to rescue the people caught up in the war.
The two "successful examples" mentioned by Yan Chujie, Annan and Korea, sounded like close allies of Hai Han, but everyone knew that they were actually vassal states that obeyed Hai Han's orders. The control that Hai Han exerted over them was achieved through military intervention in the country's internal disputes.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The so-called justice is just a self-proclaimed slogan of the victorious party after the battle is over. The loser certainly has no right to be the embodiment of justice. The actual situation is that in these civil wars, the party selected and supported by Hai Han will become the final winner.
Although no one knew which country Hai Han was referring to as the one where a civil war was about to break out, all the guests present thought of the same thing - the ruling group they represented must stand in the same camp as Hai Han.
Needless to say, the representatives of those countries with more intense internal disputes have already started sweating on their backs, and every word Yan Chujie said seemed to be referring to their names.
Even those countries with relatively stable domestic situations do not dare to ensure that they are not within this range. It should be noted that with Hai Han’s strength, it is not without precedent to ignite conflicts or even civil wars in other countries.
At that moment, officials from Champa, Cambodia and other countries attending the meeting expressed their willingness to unconditionally trust Hai Han’s judgment and position in handling such incidents.
These small countries in the South China Sea have good relations with Hai Han, so being the first to express their opinions can be considered a way to seek benefits and avoid harm. However, they also know that their country's international status is not high, so they did not even try to ask which country Yan Chujie was talking about.
The first people to raise the question were the Portuguese. When the unrest broke out in Kyushu last year, Portuguese shops in Nagasaki were also affected to a certain extent, and the news had already been reported back from the local area.
However, the fighting at that time was only within Kyushu, and Japan's policy of isolation meant that the outside world did not know much about it, so until now not many foreign countries know about the situation in Japan.
When Yan Chujie mentioned that a certain country might have a large-scale civil war in the near future, Simon and Thomas first thought of Japan. Simon then asked Yan Chujie if the country he mentioned was Japan.
From Portugal's perspective, Simao doesn't have to worry about Hai Han creating a civil war in his own country, so he won't have the same concerns as other countries.
Yan Chujie was waiting for the question that Ximang would raise, so that he could move on to the next discussion naturally.
"Master Ximang guessed correctly, it is Japan."
Yan Chujie said in a deep voice: "Although Japan is a very closed country and may not have established diplomatic relations with many countries here, we cannot ignore its existence. The dispute that occurred in Kyushu, Japan last year has affected the interests of some countries, including our country, in the region."
"Some people may have noticed that Japan did not appear in our conference hall. That's because we intentionally did not invite them to the conference. Otherwise, we might not be able to discuss issues related to them openly." After Yan Chujie pointed this out, many people remembered that they had not seen any Japanese with weird hairstyles in the conference hall in the past two days.
At this time, someone asked: "Master Yan, is the situation really as serious as you say? If your country invites them to Zhoushan, and then all countries come forward to mediate, will it be possible to resolve the dispute?"
After Yan Chujie finished listening, he briefly introduced the situation in Japan and the background of the confrontation between the two sides. Of course, he did not mention the role played by Hai Han in this.
Yan Chujie said: "Compared to resolving the dispute, what is more likely to happen to us is that they will directly treat Zhoushan as a battlefield and start a fight right in front of us."
Most of the people present did not know that Shi Diwen was the one who instigated the civil war in Japan. Now Hai Han was waiting for the right time for it to break out, so there was no intention of mediating or promoting talks.
If the two opposing parties were really brought to the forum to confront each other, it might lead to complications and make Shi Diwen's previous efforts go to waste. Such "risks" should naturally be avoided as much as possible.
Among the guests present, only the Portuguese were vaguely aware of Hai Han's intentions. After the turmoil in Kyushu last year, only a few powerful vassal states close to Hai Han remained in the area, and the Nagasaki Port, which was originally directly governed by the Tokugawa shogunate, had also been out of the shogunate's control.
It can be said that the entire Kyushu region has formed a de facto separatist state, but Kyushu may not be able to satisfy the ambitions of these daimyo, and the shogunate cannot sit idly by and watch the betrayal of local forces. The possibility of war breaking out next is indeed very high.
Ximang didn't know how much of a role Hai Han played in this, but he was sure that Hai Han would never consider the Japanese. What had happened in the past few years had fully proved that Hai Han had no good feelings towards this country at all, and its hatred was very obvious.
As for the view that the Japanese would regard Zhoushan as a battlefield, Ximang agrees. He has visited Japan many times and had many contacts with the locals, so he has some understanding of their unscrupulous style of doing things.
If the people from Kyushu and the shogunate met in Zhoushan, they would probably only have one thought - as long as they killed their opponents, they would naturally be able to temporarily cut off the channels for them to seek help from Hai Han.
But Ximang still didn't understand. Whether Hai Han wanted to sell arms to the Japanese or support Kyushu forces to deal with the shogunate, as long as they did it on their own, no one would be able to stop them. But why did they announce it in an international exchange venue like the Zhoushan Forum and also seek the opinions of various countries? What was the purpose of this?
Yan Chujie was not in a hurry to announce the answer, but patiently sought the opinions of several countries. It seems that he really cares about the views of various countries on this matter.
However, most countries have no friendship with Japan. After thinking about it, it seems that they can't get any practical benefits from it, and there is no need to offend Hai Han or other countries for this. Therefore, their statements are rather vague, and it is obvious that they intend to wait and see.
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I think we cannot easily make a judgment here about the real situation in Japan and which side represents justice. I think the most reasonable way is for each country to send a delegation to Japan as soon as possible to verify who is right and who is wrong, and then decide how to mediate."
Yan Chujie's words made everyone present even more confused - we don't have much to do with Japan, so is it necessary to travel so far to join in the fun?
Yan Chujie kept everyone in suspense until he finally revealed the answer: "In the past few years, both sides of the Japanese Civil War have purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment from our country. There must be a lot of people who want to see with their own eyes how effective these weapons and equipment are in actual combat. This is a great opportunity!"
