Waltz was talking about the submarine cable from the South Ryukyu Islands to Fuzhou. The direct distance from Miyako Island to Fuzhou is nearly seven hundred kilometers, so this workload and consumption are enormous, making the task at Dar es Salaam's state-owned cable factory very demanding.
Mori: "Submarine cables are indeed not simple, and the quality requirements are higher because the situation in the sea is complex, and ordinary cables can't withstand it. However, can you give some parameters, some insights, so that our factory can be mentally prepared? Do you know the length of this Far East submarine cable?"
Waltz: "Ah, this is no secret. Not long ago, we East Africans had a conflict with Japan in the Far East over a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Our navy even fought there, claiming it as our territory. However, it's too far from East Africa, so we definitely need to solve the communication issue there."
