Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Eight I have found you, Nissin Maru.
After spending a few days and nights in the cabin, I came to the deck to look at the sea and then the sun above my head. Gao Yang felt refreshed all over. After hearing the good news from Uri Yangke, Gao Yang felt even more happy.
Gao Yang was greatly inspired and said in surprise: "It's great? Rishinmaru is there, when can we launch an attack?"
Uri Yangke smiled bitterly and said, "We just know the approximate location of Rishin Pills. Judging from the latest news we received, we have approached the Rishin Pills, but when will we find Rishin Pills, it depends on luck."
The ship can move, and the messages received will be lagging for at least a few hours. Unless an airplane searches in the air, it will be better if you still have to drive the ship around and search everywhere.
It's not that easy to find a boat to come out in the vast sea. Gao Yang, who knew this, smiled and said, "I thought the radar had discovered that there was a target, but in the end I just knew the approximate location of Rishinmaru."
Uri Yangke sighed, "It's not bad. It's already very fast to find Rishin Maru so quickly. Now I just hope there is no big wave."
Gao Yang sighed, "Although I know it's unlikely, I still hope to find it today. Well, do you know where we are now?"
"I don't know, no matter where he is. Now I don't have the time to think about this."
Although all Gao Yang and the others came, they only came for soy sauce. There was basically nothing they had to do. Apart from taking a look and being a witness, there was nothing to do.
Although Bruce was a member of the Navy, he actually served mainly in the Marine Corps. However, he did not know much about naval warfare than Gao Yang and others. Therefore, Bruce still couldn't help much. What he did now is still the role that a military doctor should play.
Just as Gao Yang and Uri Yangko were chatting, Bruce shouted: "Everyone goes to eat something, drink some water, and replenish the electrolytes. The seasickness and vomiting for several consecutive days have caused our bodies to be very weak. If you can eat without seasickness now, it is better to hurry up."
Uriyanko had no strength to walk. Gao Yang, Grolev and Bruce drove Uriyanko to the restaurant on the boat.
Although he had no appetite and no special chefs were arranged on the boat. All he had prepared was quick food, Gao Yang still forced himself to eat a lot of food.
With food in his stomach, and with the emergency food prepared by Bruce to quickly recover his strength, Gao Yang felt that he had some strength in his body.
The strong winds and waves of a few days left all the crew members with no appetite. Now that the winds and waves have passed, the crew members who have recovered some of their appetites have come to the restaurant to eat one after another.
The three or two crew members were having a meal and chatting. However, these crew members only knew Russian, and Gao Yang and the others couldn't understand what they were saying. That is, Uriyanko and Grolev could have a few words to talk to them.
I felt boring to eat in the restaurant. Gao Yang was about to continue back to the deck and ventilate when he suddenly heard the captain's radio from the speaker. After just a few short sentences, the three half-eat crew members suddenly stood up and ran away.
Grolev also stood up and said with excitement: "The captain said that the radar discovered the moving large target, and it was very fast, it should not be an iceberg. Now he ordered all crew members to return to their posts and move forward at full speed."
Gao Yang said anxiously: "How far have you said?"
Uriyangko was even more excited and shouted: "Hurry up, go to the cockpit, let's ask the captain ourselves."
A group of people came to the cockpit surrounded by people. After seeing Uri Yangke, the white-haired captain smiled and pointed to the radar screen, and then started talking to Uri Yangke.
The captain was a Ukrainian named Pavlovich. He was already in his sixties. He was a deputy captain on a frigate in the Black Sea Fleet in the Soviet era. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ship he served was retired soon due to lack of funds. Pavlovich also retired with his ship.
Although Pavlovic is a Ukrainian, he speaks Russian. The biggest characteristic of this old man is that he is addicted to alcohol. He will always smell like alcohol at any time. Fortunately, Pavlovic has a lot of alcohol. Although he always drinks vodka and takes a big mouthful from time to time, he never gets drunk and can always keep his person awake.
After saying a few words, Pavlovic laughed a few times, then grabbed the wine bottle and took a big mouthful of it, looking very happy.
Grolev had been translating the captain's words, and at this moment he said happily: "I discovered a suspicious target. The target was moving quickly just now, but now it has almost stopped completely. This cannot be an iceberg, it must be a ship, and it is a big ship. It is less than sixty nautical miles away from us. We are rushing over at full speed. If the target does not move, we will be able to find the target at most three hours."
Gao Yang and the others were all excited. So far, things were going well. What we need to do now is to see if the goal they discovered was the Rishin Maru they were looking for, or a better result. The whaling fleet gathered together.
The operation of the whaling fleet is like this: three whaling ships with a 1,500-ton polarity search and hunt whales in the front, while the processing ship Rishin Maru follows behind. When the whaling ship hunts whales, it will be sent back to Rishin Maru.
The distance between Rishin Maru and the three sub-ships is not fixed. It may be more than ten nautical miles away when it is far away, and several nautical miles away when it is close. The specific location of the whales tracked by the whaling ship. Therefore, if that fleet is catching whales, the distance between them may be very far.
Of course, Gao Yang hopes that the ships will be together, so that they can be put in one go. If the whaling ships are scattered far away from each other, they will likely be the ship that runs away when they encounter a real attack.
Gao Yang's main goal is Rishinmaru, but he would rather take it in one go and not let go of any of the four whaling ships. Therefore, Gao Yang is mentally prepared to wait for an opportunity to start.
After knowing the direction of the target, all that is left is waiting. Although there are less than three hours left to get the answer, Gao Yang felt that these two hours were more difficult than the past few days.
Li Jinfang was called out of the bed and learned that he had discovered a suspicious target. Li Jinfang immediately jumped and followed Gao Yang and the others to the deck like someone who was fine.
Six people each carried a telescope to search visually. Finally, a large white ship appeared in the field of view. As the distance got closer, it was finally confirmed that it was not a ship, but at least three or four ships gathered together.
Although I saw that there were ships, I was still not sure whether those ships were the ones I was looking for. The Avenger kept the radio silent at the highest speed and rushed straight towards the target of discovery.
When the big ship he found was less than two kilometers away, Gao Yang still couldn't see the name of the hull clearly because the ships were facing his bow, but Gao Yang could basically confirm that those ships were the Rishin Maru he was looking for.
Gao Yang was sure because he saw at least five ships, and three of them were sprayed with huge water spurts. The other two ships were almost close to the attack. Except for those whaling ships and protesting anti-whaling ships, Gao Yang could not think of any other ships that would do so.
"Everyone left the fore deck, ram, come to the cockpit, leave the fore deck."
After hearing the words from Uri Yangke from the intercom, Gao Yang and the others ran back to the cockpit. After seeing Gao Yang, Uri Yangke waved excitedly and said, "It's impossible to be wrong. It must be Rishinmaru. The good news is that they are gathered together, but the bad news is that it seems that the Japanese are not short of witnesses."
Taking advantage of not getting too close, Gao Yang said anxiously: "I have seen it just now. There are other ships here. Should we wait for them to leave before starting?"
Gao Yang must ask Uri Yangko, because although he was the planner of this matter, the implementer was Uri Yangko or Big Ivan, and Big Ivan was also the one who took the risk. Therefore, he must ask Uri Yangko what he meant.
Uri Yangke waved his hand and said, "What are you waiting for? Who is there? If that ship is Rishinmaru, then we will kill Rishinmaru immediately and go home!"
The captain Pavlovic, who had never been serious, looked serious at this moment. After turning his head and saying a few words to Uriyangko, Uriyangko shrugged, walked to Gao Yang's side, and whispered: "We can stay here to watch, but it's best to keep quiet and not disturb the captain."
Gao Yang and the others stood in a corner that was not in trouble, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Pavlovic then gave two more orders, and then the helmsman repeated Pavlovic's words and immediately turned the steering wheel. The Avenger, who was driving at high speed, drew a large circle and began to turn to the side of the several Lun ships that were moving in parallel.
When the ship turned to the side, Gao Yang finally saw the name on the outermost ship, the second Aonan Maru.
Gao Yang's heart immediately jumped up, and he whispered excitedly: "It's them, that ship!"
The Avenger did not slow down at all. After quickly surrounding the five ships that were fighting together, after observing the positions of the ships, Pavlovicli gave several orders. The Avenger began to slow down and aimed the bow of the ship at the right side of the second Aonan Maru, which was about three kilometers apart.
After straightening the bow, the Avengers became slower and slower. At this time, Pavlovic said a few words to Uriyanko, Uriyanko waved his hand and then pointed Gao Yang.
Pavlovich looked at Gao Yang and said in English with a unique Russian accent: "You are the boss who pays, so it's up to you to decide whether to attack immediately, so, can we start attacking?"
Gao Yang waved his hand viciously and said loudly: "Boll fight now." (To be continued...)
