Chapter 636: Chapter 280: White Mist Disperses_2 Chapter 636: Chapter 280: White Mist Disperses_2 When they realized that Misty Island was vast and had a decent environment, the Japanese Government was stunned; they never expected a previously insignificant island to undergo such tremendous change. They were eager to take Misty Island back, but awkwardly found that they had sealed their fate with the harsh measures they took initially because of Haruji Harada, cutting off every avenue to reclaim the island. Even if they wanted to retract now, there was no legal support for it. After all, Japan also prided itself on being a nation ruled by law, and weren't quite willing to blatantly violate their own laws. Compared to the shamelessness of The United States of America, Japan now seemed much purer.

Moreover, after acquiring Misty Island, Yan Fei made a big fuss about it, notifying all the countries and international organizations in the world, and received responses from those entities. Legally speaking, Yan Fei undoubtedly had complete ownership of Misty Island, and Japan would not receive positive support from other nations even if they wanted to backtrack. At the time, everyone thought Yan Fei was a fool for making such a commotion over an island that was about to sink, but now, they realized how prescient Yan Fei had been. If he hadn't made such a big deal then, Japan could have had an excuse to quietly take back the rights to Misty Island.

While Japan was contemplating how to reclaim Misty Island, they received a coalition request from the US Forces. Overjoyed, Japan hurriedly agreed to the US's military plan. Although this plan would not let them take back the whole of Misty Island, it would at least give them a foothold on it, effectively equating to a partial reclamation. However, the thought of a previously sole ownership turning into a joint one with four countries still filled the Japanese with dissatisfaction…

Beyond this reason, Japan had other considerations. Since their defeat in World War II, Japan had become an economic power but politically, they were always under the control of The United States of America, lacking complete sovereignty. They were rigorously limited by The United States of America in terms of military development and were not allowed to participate in any overseas military activities. This prevented Japan from demonstrating their military strength on an international stage, from becoming a normal country.

So when The United States of America suddenly allowed the Japanese government to send troops to Misty Island, they saw it as a chance to shatter the chain lock binding them. If these actions succeeded, could they then follow the US in other military operations abroad and become a normal country, reinstating their martial force?

The three countries all had hidden agendas, hoping to reap substantial benefits from the operation, completely oblivious to the dangers ahead. They brazenly mobilized their domestic warships and army, amassing them in the territorial waters surrounding Misty Island.

After the three countries began their formal maneuvers, The United States of America also started moving their fleet of aircraft carriers stationed in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. However, while the US Forces were deploying their aircraft carrier battle groups to East Asia, they instinctively stayed far from Misty Island, even avoiding entering within 2,000 kilometers of Misty Island's sea area, so as not to cause any misunderstanding with Yan Fei and Destroyer.

The actions of the US Forces were unusually cautious, but the other three countries were the complete opposite. They did not hide their movements at all, but instead announced with much fanfare that they would be conducting a large-scale military exercise in the North Pacific to test the army's combat capabilities and protect national security.

After Yan Fei's last disruption in Paris, France, he left a significant problem for France to deal with. This issue escalated and exploded this year, leading to masses of French citizens wearing green vests taking to the streets to demonstrate, looting and burning. This Green Vest Movement then spread worldwide. Whether it was Japan, Canada, or Australia, the economic situations within these countries weren't good, leading to sharp social conflicts, on the verge of sparking their own Green Vest Movements.

To escape this disadvantageous situation, these three countries thought of conducting a military operation. By finding an enemy for their own nation, they aimed to shift the internal conflicts and delay the outbreak of the Green Vest Movement. If they obtained huge benefits from this operation, domestic conflicts would subside, and they could snuff out the Green Vest Movement in its infancy, prolonging their rule.

Therefore, to uplift the national spirit, these three countries also sent professional Television Stations and Journalists to live broadcast their United Fleet's military exercise, letting their citizens witness the country's Strength. However, these countries weren't entirely foolish; they didn't disclose the exact location of the military exercise. When reporting, Television and media deliberately omitted the whereabouts of the United Fleet.

China, with its own Intelligence System, quickly realized something was amiss. While communicating these abnormal situations to Yan Fei on Misty Island, according to the agreement made with Yan Fei earlier, they actively supported Misty Island.

Not only did China reaffirm Yan Fei's indisputable ownership of Misty Island at international forums, but they also warned the three countries' United Fleet to keep their military exercises at a distance from Misty Island. Besides verbal warnings, China also took practical measures by dispatching their own Navy to approach Misty Island, providing substantial support to Yan Fei.
