Super Island Tycoon

Unbeknownst to many, the military standoff between the Jade Island and Japan has entered its third day.

In just a few short days, both sides have deployed significant military force, with their warships spreading out across the reef-laden waters, creating an exceptionally impressive scene of maritime standoff.

During these days, the intense standoff incident can be said to have completely set the world ablaze, attracting the keen attention of global media and internet users.

In response, both Jade Island and Japan had to conduct their respective press conferences to issue official statements regarding this incident.

On Jade Island, as the Isle Master, Jiang Cheng personally took the stage and solemnly invited journalists from global media to an official press conference.

"Isle Master Jiang, may I ask why you have illegally engaged in land reclamation in the northern waters? Is it for territorial expansion?"

A BBC reporter directly asked a sharp question.

"I think this reporter has misunderstood the issue. Our actions do not violate any international law, and as for land reclamation, it is our legitimate right."

Jiang Cheng spoke with a solemn expression.

"Then, Isle Master Jiang, how do you plan to handle the military standoff with Japan next?"

"Japan's actions can be said to seriously infringe upon our sovereignty. Before this, we had already transformed an unclaimed reef into an island, and according to existing international law, this is the territory of our Jade Island. Therefore, Japan's current lingering in our waters is already an act of infringing upon Jade Island's territorial sovereignty, and we have the right to initiate any retaliatory actions," Jiang Cheng continued to answer.

"However, I would like to state that Jade Island is a place very willing to contribute to world peace. If it were not for the other side's active aggression, we would not want to escalate the dispute. Therefore, hereby, we also issue a warning to Japan to leave Jade Island's territorial waters as soon as possible within a set time, otherwise, they will have to bear any serious consequences and impacts."

"Isle Master Jiang, as everyone knows, in recent years, Jade Island's military power has seen a significant boost, even recently defeating the South Korean fleet. These matters have greatly stirred panic among neighboring countries, even compelling some countries to start military competitions. How do you view these matters, Master Isle?"

A BBC reporter led a discussion on the military development of Jade Island.

Upon hearing the question, Jiang Cheng continued with the same solemn expression, answering: "We have promised that Jade Island will forever adhere to a path of peaceful development and will never resort to military expansion. What we pursue is a defense strategy that never actively initiates challenges. In other words, even when Jade Island's military power further strengthens in the future, it is prepared for defense, so we call on all friendly neighboring countries to be at ease. Jade Island will join hands with all nations to make the greatest contribution to peace in East Asia, Asia, and even the world."

"Will Jade Island likely go to war with Japan in the future?"

"How does Isle Master Jiang view Japan's fleet movements?"

...

At the press conference, journalists from around the world posed sharp questions to Jiang Cheng.

Faced with these incisive questions, Jiang Cheng responded without panic, clearly articulating Jade Island's peace development concept to all the journalists.

In essence, Jade Island will not actively instigate disputes but will not submit to hostile forces' military aggression.

Hence, the signal he conveyed to the outside world was very clear, resolutely condemning Japan's act of mobilizing its fleet and gathering in Jade Island's territorial waters.

Furthermore, for this dispute initiated by the opposing side, Jade Island will resist to the end, refusing to yield.

At the press conference, Jiang Cheng crafted an image of Jade Island as a peaceful place disturbed by major surrounding powers, forced to respond due to the provocations of these powers.

Although the media journalists' statements were relatively sharp, under the preparations Jiang Cheng had made long ago, he easily handled them.

This covertly confrontational press conference quickly spread worldwide through various media outlets, acquainting the broad internet public with the whole process.

And evidently, after witnessing Jiang Cheng's composed response, internet users were full of admiration.

Online, supportive comments for Jiang Cheng emerged endlessly.

"Isle Master Jiang is right, Jade Island loves peace, strongly supporting the elimination of little Japan!"

"Isle Master Jiang is mighty, verbally sparring at the press conference, go Jade Island!"

"Support Isle Master Jiang!"

"Down with little Japan!"

"Rise, Jade Island!"

...

Such comments filled the entire internet!

Jiang Cheng's press conference successfully propagated Jade Island's peaceful stance, allowing internet users worldwide to understand Jiang Cheng's views.

Conversely, on the Japanese side, the domestic atmosphere seemed somewhat gloomy.

Upon learning that Jade Island had miraculously created an island at its doorstep, Japan's nation roared with intense protest.

Within this hawk-dominated government, the public opinion was unequivocally opposed to Jade Island.

Major domestic issues were successively publicized as so-called jade island infringement incidents, heavily promoted, igniting the entire domestic discourse.

However, given that international voices still predominantly support Jade Island, Japan's domestic resistance cannot spread outwards and only stirs waves within the country.

Across Japan's streets, hawkish elements can be seen protesting variously.

They protested Japan's failure to respond in time, allegedly letting others dump on their necks. Most aggravatingly, the military only dispatched a so-called fleet to standoff with Jade Island but took no substantive action, helplessly watching the artificially created island expand step-by-step.

Such protest voices permeated Japan, placing immense pressure on the government.

For several days now, representatives from the military's high command and the government's ruling party held countless meetings, deliberating how to respond to Jade Island's island creation incident.

However, despite numerous meetings, a unified opinion could not be reached due to significant differences between the government and the military.

Consequently, the opposing voices within the country grew even more vehement!
