Chapter 452: Lifting anchor and sailing(1/2)
Yuyu Island, Qiong106 fishing.
Zhan Hui watched the island country ships pick up more than a dozen island people on their ships, his face full of gloating expressions.
In fact, when he just heard the news of the volcanic eruption, he was also frightened. He had even planned to fight with the islanders on the ship and pull them into the water together. However, after seeing the expression of a loss on the other person's face, he immediately guessed the key to the problem.
These people probably wanted to play the fun, but didn't play well, but instead played themselves.
According to subsequent news announcements, the situation is as imagined. The erupting volcano will not affect China at all, and will instead cause significant losses to the island countries.
Isn’t this a pure cycle of cause and effect, isn’t it a bad retribution?
Zhan Hui didn't know how many times he said "Thank you Mazu" in his heart. He couldn't help but think that it seemed that the boss was right. Mazu's work was just one code and one code. It was one thing to save people, but after saving people, they blew up their homes, which was another thing.
This is probably the position of the Chinese gods?
With his low level of education, he could only think of such an explanation.
Otherwise, how should we explain it? It was obvious that the other party had planned it, but they had paid such a great price, and they even blew up a fishing boat, but the final result was to ask for trouble?
Of course, there may be some necessities in this. For example, if the 002 aircraft carrier formation had not entered the field strongly, the other party's plan would not have been so hasty; for example, if the 106 ship had not rescued them "messed in other people's business", their operating space might have been greater; for example, if the ugly people were not forced to retreat, they would not have to do this at all...
But in the final analysis, things happened in such an incredible way, and all the Chinese fishermen nearby also made unscrupulous contributions to ridicule because of this result.
"Sayanara!Sayanara!"
Zhan Hui stood by the side of the ship happily waved goodbye to the ships of the island country that were gradually moving away. He thought in his heart that the last time he said "Sayanara" the other party's ship exploded. This time, will the ship explode as well?
However, it was obvious that his practice of the law of cause and effect weapon had not reached the level of that man. The island ship safely left his sight and moved away in a direction that he did not know where the purpose was.
He looked away reluctantly, looked at Tan Min on the side and said:
"Boss, we should evacuate too, right? I heard the above meaning. The volcanic ash in the east is coming soon, and now our ships are retreating."
For him, he had already watched the biggest excitement of this voyage, and he also played a significant role in this excitement. According to the previous meaning, after returning this time, he would have to give some bonuses and subsidies to everyone who was 106 fishing. At that time, this would be the capital for him to brag about with his little lover.
So, he no longer had much nostalgia for this sea--the opponents had already left and the fish had already been beaten, so why are you still here for?
However, what he did not expect was that Tan Min, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said:
"No, we can't leave, we still have a task."
"Task? What mission?"
Looking at Tan Min's expression, Zhan Hui became interested in an instant. He knew that it was definitely not a simple thing to make such a cautious and steady captain say such a saying "I can't leave."
Tan Min smiled slightly, suppressed the same ups and downs in his heart, and pretended to say inadvertently:
"It's not a special task...it's just...have you seen that island? We'll go up later."
.........
Two hours later, a small boat docked in the shallows on the west side of Yuyu Island. Zhan Hui and Tan Min ended their more than a month of drifting at sea under the escort of a distant helicopter. They followed a staff member in casual clothes and set foot on solid land for the first time.
"I finally got here."
Zhan Hui's voice trembled a little. He held the things in his hand tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand swelled up.
"Yes, we didn't expect it to be so fast..."
The staff member named Lu Haifeng spoke with emotion.
"According to the plan, we would have to at least one or two months to truly get close to this island, and then we would have to land in half a year. Unexpectedly, these small moves they made this time turned out to help us."
"You have made great contributions this time. If you didn't control those people, things wouldn't go so smoothly."
"When you go up a while, you should pay attention to your image. We must have been taking photos this time. If you don't look good when the photos are taken, it will be embarrassing to put them in the newspaper for your family to see them."
Hearing his words, Zhan Hui smiled and replied:
"Leader, don't worry, although I am careless, I am absolutely reliable at critical moments, especially in such a big event, and there is absolutely no trouble!"
"If you have any trouble, can someone still ask you to come up? Take care of your mouth later and don't talk nonsense! I heard that there are islanders on this island!"
Tan Min, who was standing aside, stared at Zhan Hui and cursed a few words. The latter still looked generous in front of Lu Haifeng, but after hearing his lesson, he adjusted his standing posture in a regular manner, even holding his head up and chest out when walking.
Lu Haifeng was interesting to see, so he asked:
"What's the relationship between you? Why do I feel that it's not just a captain and crew?"
"......... Leader, this kid is half my son-in-law. Let's not talk about this anymore. What will we do later? I won't meet islanders again, right?"
Lu Haifeng shook his head and replied:
"If there are no islanders, although the airport and lighthouse are built on this island, no one has landed on the island since 12 years ago. Not only are they, but before last year, we actually didn't dare to do anything about this island."
"Its location is too sensitive, not only in geographical location, but also in the hearts of various countries."
"These are all public information, and you also know that at that time, our confrontation with the ugly people was still very fierce--of course it is also very fierce now, but it is not a life-and-death situation."
"At that time, Yuyu Island, like the South Island, was the bargaining chip they used to check and balance us on the sea. What they wanted was to maintain the ambiguous state of the island and maintain the balance between us and the island countries in this sea area, thereby dragging our energy down and making it impossible for us to fight them with all our might."
"We have also wanted to land on the island many times, but we have not succeeded -- there are too many problems involved."
"We were so frustrated at that time. It was obviously one of our own islands, but we could only watch and couldn't get close to them!"
"Don't you see that at that time we always had all kinds of ships coming to cruise, and scientific research ships coming to survey and map, but in fact, as long as we break the boundaries a little bit, those ugly nationals will use their force to intimidate us."
"What's even more excessive is that not only ugly people, but even those islanders dare to clamor to organize 3,000 island-capturing troops to take back the island from us."
"What does 3,000 people mean to us? But they dare to shout like this."
"At that time, the news was all about these things. I don't know if you have seen it. Anyway, many people think that we have lost this island... Forget it, let's not talk about this."
Looking at Lu Haifeng who was silent, Tan Min and the others knew that there might be many stories that were inconvenient for them to know, so they did not ask, but followed him silently and climbed towards the highest point on the island step by step.
The island is not large in area, and its length is only more than 3,000 meters in north and south, but its altitude reaches hundreds of meters. Even if there are simple roads built by the islanders when they landed on the island, it would be quite laborious to climb.
Along the way, none of the three of them spoke, but as their positions gradually increased, the emotions in their hearts became more and more complicated.
What does this feel like?
It is difficult for Zhan Hui to describe his current state, perhaps it is the excitement of witnessing history, perhaps it is the tension of becoming a part of history, or it is the anxiety about joining the torrent, but no matter what, he knows better than anyone else that since he set foot on this island, there has been no turning back.
In fact, it was not just him, but since the three of them stepped onto the island, China also took this step that was about to shock the world.
If, before this, all the operations and efforts of China were to protect what they already had, then from now on, the goal of all Chinese people is to take back what they had lost.
And this island is just the first step.
It is like the anchor of a giant ship plunging into the deep sea. When it is pulled up, the giant ship will move to a wider deep sea.
The climb of more than an hour finally ended. The three of them stood at the top of the peak at the highest point of Yuyu Island. Looking at the blue sea water in the distance and the volcanic ash brought by the volcanic eruption floating in the sky, Lu Haifeng suddenly felt that his emotions were a little uncontrollable.
He had been in the army for fifteen years and had been wandering on the sea for fifteen years. He had been waiting for this moment for too long.
For him, this island is definitely not just an island. In many cases, it is a witness to the humiliating history of the entire navy and even the entire China.
On April 17, 1895, the defeated China was forced to sign an unequal jump. The treaty stipulated that China would ced the South Island and its affiliated islands to the island countries. From this day on, China lost this island that had served as a safe haven for fishermen hundreds of years ago.
What did the fishermen react at that time? They had been fishing here for generations, and their parents had taken them to make fires on this island, avoiding the wind, and watching the morning light and sunset on this island, but suddenly, this place no longer belongs to them.
There is no way to protest because in the era they were in, China's international power had fallen to the lowest level.
Who would care about the ownership of this island far away in the sky? The mainland has already been in war, and the people and the country are no longer in danger!
So, if you lose it, it will be lost. In any case, this place is just a fishing ground.
There are many fishing grounds in China, aren’t it?
So, after that, the island, together with the larger island, was ruled by a small country for a full 50 years.
That was 50 years when people were not as humiliated as dogs.
Until 1945, the island nation was defeated and the island nominally returned to China's embrace, but that was only "nominally".
The island countries at that time did not recognize their failure at all and refused to hand over the island. Instead, they handed it over to the ugly people on the grounds that the island was under the so-called Okinawa jurisdiction.
Compared to China, which was still in the war at that time, they were more willing to use this island to please that real power, even if the other party had never cherished it, even if they just regarded this island as a training range!
This sounds like a joke. What you regard as a treasure is just an irrelevant toy in the hands of the enemy, but he just doesn't want to return it to you, but you don't even have the right to protest.
This is not even the final outcome. What is even more infuriating is that twenty years later, this enemy actually handed over the island back to the former defeated country!
What an irony this is. A defeated country can only get back what does not belong to them by relying on such a humble attitude. However, the Chinese people who have an absolutely correct position in morality and law can only make their own weak voices through protests and "protection of the island" time and time again.
They are facing the most powerful country in the world, and their weapons are only the pen in their hands and the microphone at their mouths.
Is such a protest useful?
Perhaps it is useful, after all, it really aroused the public's attention to this island and also aroused everyone's feelings of hatred against the enemy.
However, it is useless.
In the opponent's strong ship and powerful cannon, in the opponent's giant aircraft carrier, in the opponent's supersonic fighter, the sound is like a drop of water thrown into the sea, and it cannot stir up a trace of waves.
Even those who organize such movements are mocked and pressured from all over the world because of their voices.
"What's the point of doing this? Can you get Yuyu Island back by calling alone?"
"It's so awesome, why don't you just drive a boat to the island?"
"Just sensational..."
People at that time were suffering because of such sounds, right? But no matter how painful they were, they could not stop speaking.
To be continued...
