Chapter 296 The gathering of fishing boats can’t stop
Suiyu 9528 is an iron-shell fishing boat of more than 300 tons. Compared with the 1,000-ton Qiongyu 588, it is a small one. However, among fishing boats, fishing boats with a 300-ton level are considered large fishing boats, and their length is generally more than Forty meters long, a large number are active in traditional fishing grounds such as the East China Sea, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea in my country.
You know, a 300-ton fishing boat with some technical content costs over one million yuan.
In fact, most of the Chinese fishing boats active in the eastern and southern parts of the Indian Ocean during this period were iron-shelled fishing boats of three to four hundred tons, usually with six to eight crew members, which was exactly one shift.
These fishing boats are usually self-employed and have a family-style production method. They rarely participate in fishing operations organized by various associations. Their fishing routes and operating areas are changeable. They do not have a strong organization behind them, and of course there are no supply ships accompanying them.
You can only rely on yourself for everything.
Suiyu 9528 is one of them.
Captain Zhang Jiahao is a young man who inherited his father's business. He has a short crew cut, dark complexion, and rough skin. He looks more than ten years older than his actual age. His crew members are all young people with close relatives, brothers and cousins.
, are all young men with short haircuts who regard home-brewed rice wine as a strategic commodity.
They had just harvested more than ten tons of fish, and the boat was already fully loaded. According to the previous plan, they would go back overnight and expected to arrive in Wuya in twelve days, where they would dock and sell their catch. At this time, it was Hainan Island
During the peak tourist season, tourists consume a large amount of seafood every day. With fishing banned in the South China Sea, a large amount of deep-water seafood from the ocean is needed to replenish it.
The price is very beautiful. Zhang Jiahao expects to earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan from this trip, and each person can get 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. However, there are not many times when things go as smoothly as this one.
There are too many fishing boats, not just Chinese ones.
At this moment, Zhang Jiahao heard someone calling for assembly on the VHF, saying that they wanted to cooperate with the navy to do something. He looked at the real-time position displayed on the Beidou navigation device and felt a little strange. Fishing boats were mobilized to work at this position.
It has never happened before.
Uncle Zhang Lijun said, "The ship is full, let's return as planned."
Zhang Jiahao frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "I'm lucky this time, I will get something when I get off the net, otherwise I would have to participate."
Suiyu 9528 is already fully loaded, and we cannot give up a catch worth millions of dollars.
"Let's go back." Zhang Jiahao said.
Someone on the VHF has been calling on the nearby Chinese fishing boats to join the assembly formation. Each time it is a different captain, which makes Zhang Jiahao uneasy. He and his boat are also basic militia ships at sea, forming a squad, and he is the captain
He is also the squad leader and is part of the comprehensive support support company.
When encountering this type of maritime mobilization, one should respond immediately, but it is so rare to go out there. It is a full five thousand kilometers of voyage from home to here, and the cost is extremely high. If you want to participate in the gathering, you will have to give up part of it.
Even if all the fish are caught, the efforts of the past ten days will be in vain.
In fact, the most important thing is that after Zhang Jiahao listened for a long time, the captains of other fishing boats were calling, and there was no voice from the navy. This made Zhang Jiahao think that it might not be an important matter, or that the troops did not need assistance.
He knows that there are a large number of large fishing boats active in this area, all of which are fleets organized by powerful fishing companies. The fleets are usually well prepared, and the supply ships even have medical rooms that can perform some simple operations. The safety of many small fishing boats is
Guaranteed.
Therefore, small fishing boats that work alone are more willing to follow the fishing fleet.
After turning the bow of the ship, Zhang Jiahao saw countless mast lights appearing in front through the windshield of the cockpit. Their courses were all opposite to that of Suiyu 9528.
"What's going on?" Zhang Jiahao was puzzled. He didn't know that the ongoing assembly operation had unknowingly reached a terrifying scale.
Zhang Lijun also wondered, "It looks like all the nearby fishing boats have been mobilized."
"No, I have to ask about the situation." Zhang Jiahao picked up the ship's intercom and called the fishing boats in the same village committee, "Lao Lie, what's the situation on channel 16? There are at least dozens of fishing boats here calling 277
Gather in the ten-degree direction.”
Lao Lie is his cousin, a forty-year-old bachelor with a large deposit of 1.8 million, but he can't find a wife because he is too handsome. Because of this, Lao Lie is famous for his sauna hobby.
He is a professional foot washer and a super VIP in major venues in the city.
Lao Lie, who has a primary school education, is unfamiliar with many Chinese characters, but he has an innate ability to read nautical charts. He can tell almost everything from the nautical charts: how the ship moves, how to move, hydrographic sea conditions, etc.
So this time, seven or eight fishing boats from the same village committee came to fish, and Lao Lie was the boss who gave the orders.
Lao Lie was heading towards the assembly area. Hearing this, he immediately replied, "I heard that a Yankee aircraft carrier was coming, so everyone spontaneously organized to block them."
"American aircraft carrier? Why are they blocking them?" Zhang Jiahao became more and more confused.
This is the northern part of the Indian Ocean, not the South China Sea. Why bother provoking US aircraft carriers?
Lao Lie said, "I don't know where the empty and half-empty boats are going. It's the Nanshui Company's fleet that is organizing and carrying out collective fishing operations."
Zhang Jiahao immediately understood that this was to occupy a place through large-scale collective fishing operations and force the US aircraft carrier to turn. This method has been tried and tested repeatedly.
To achieve the goal, the more fishing boats participating, the better. When spread out, there can be a wide front of dozens of nautical miles. If the number of fishing boats is small, it will be difficult to achieve the effect.
Zhang Jiahao said, "My ship is full and we will return as planned."
"You are so lucky to be so fast!" Lao Lie said with a smile.
The tonnage of Lao Lie's ship is 20 to 30 tons smaller, but they have only harvested one-third of the load so far. It will take another three or four days of fishing before they can return with a full load.
"I ran into a school of fish. Lao Lie, I'll go back then," Zhang Jiahao said.
Lao Lie said, "Go back and be careful on the road."
"I understand, you should hurry up, I will stay in Wuya for a few weeks and wait for your triumphant return." Zhang Jiahao said.
Lao Lie calculated it and said, "I hope it's too late, so I won't say more. You can go back first."
This journey is 5,000 kilometers, and requires two stops to replenish fuel. It is not easy to get here, and it is not easy to get back. Fortunately, we are all old fishermen and militiamen, so we are used to it.
After ending the call, Zhang Jiahao set the speed at the economic cruising speed, which is twelve knots. For a fully loaded fishing boat, this is a relatively high economic speed.
In addition to the necessary sea water, there are at least hundreds of tons of fish in the fish tank. This trip can be said to be full of rewards.
Suiyu 9528 drove northeast and saw more and more fishing boats running in the 270-degree direction. Zhang Jiahao asked several fishing boats and learned that they all came after hearing the mobilization call on channel 16. Some
They even came from hundreds of kilometers away.
The location information of the assembly area is public, and it happens to cover international waterways. Zhang Jiahao calculated the distance and found that his ship was more than thirty kilometers away from there and was moving away at a speed of twelve knots per hour.
In other words, the fishing boats he saw rushing to the assembly area had already responded to the call at least two hours ago.
"Hey, I always feel that I will miss something, and I feel bad." Zhang Jiahao scratched his head. He hadn't washed it in more than a week and it was a little itchy.
Zhang Lijun said, "There is nothing we can do. Our cabin is full. It would be a pity to lose it. We don't always have the chance to hit a school of fish."
