As a coastal city, heavy rains are very common in summer.
At this moment, there was a violent storm outside the car, and a splash of rainwater hit the slanted window. The wipers swung from side to side like an out-of-control metronome, scraping away the layers of rainwater on the windshield.
Two policemen in raincoats stood on the roadside, with the closed commercial street behind them. They seemed to be checking something and stopped passing vehicles again and again.
The heavy rain pattered on the roof of the car.
Bi Fang said: "Mu Jialun, you and I change places, hurry up."
"good."
Bi Fang rolled down the backrest, and the two quickly exchanged figures. Then he asked Mu Galen to take off his mask and sunglasses.
"Not to say......"
"Just do as you are told. When they come to ask, you have to take the initiative and say that you are a tourist from abroad. No matter what they ask, just say Amerikan. Be a little more aggressive and irritable. Understand.
?"
"I have a good temper..."
"Just imagine that your daughter has fallen in love early, and the other person is a gangster with tattoos, a smoker and a drinker, and a criminal record in a labor camp. He is thinking about how to hook your daughter to a motel."
The veins on the back of Mu Jalun's hands swelled.
He was already starting to get angry.
Richard, who was driving, was hunched over and pulled down the brim of his hat to reduce his presence as much as possible.
“It’s really troublesome to check the road conditions on a rainy day.”
"There is no way. I heard that the group of people are here again, so we should lock the vehicle as soon as possible."
A policeman shrank his hand, and the raindrops hit his skin, which actually hurt a little.
He looked at the road. The visibility was extremely poor. It was completely gray. Occasionally, there would be a flash of light, followed by rolling thunder, and the piercing sound of trumpets mixed with the sound of rain.
The speed of the cars slowed down, one after another passing by, the red light of the brake lights piercing the rain curtain.
The police waved their batons and just stopped the commercial vehicle when they saw a bearded foreigner leaning out from the passenger seat and yelling something. His face was red and veins popped out on his forehead. Look.
He went up extremely angry, shouting "America".
He was shocked on the spot and subconsciously bowed and apologized: "Sorry, sorry."
Another policeman also bowed, but still looked up at Mu Galen. His beard was too conspicuous, and he shouted: "Are you the hunter who came to participate in the hunting season?"
Mu Jialun was stunned and couldn't say what Emerikon was about. He was from Yanglan and a Nordic...
He was actually recognized.
Mu Jialun simply stopped pretending: "I am here to inspect the environment of Taiji Town, but you dared to stop me. If I lose, you will bear full responsibility!"
"No, no." The two policemen hurriedly explained that they had no such intention, then looked at each other and tried to look inside the car.
"Hey!" Mu Jialun shouted loudly, "Do you have anything? If not, let me leave immediately!"
Although he often interacted with foreign tourists and his English was pretty good, Mu Jialen's voice was fast and furious, and the rain was so loud that neither of them heard what he was saying.
They were sure that they were hunters who came to participate in the black bear hunting, and the car horns blared from behind. They were nervous, for fear of annoying their friends, so they stopped asking and quickly waved the fluorescent batons in their hands to let the group leave.
Richard stepped on the accelerator, and everyone felt a strong push on their backs. You can imagine how nervous everyone was. The commercial vehicle quickly left the street in the heavy rain.
When the two policemen were completely out of sight, Mu Jialun breathed a sigh of relief. It was so exciting. When he looked back, he was shocked and saw Bifang staring straight at him.
"What are you looking at me doing?"
"Would you be interested in being my Harvey?"
"Substitute? What do you mean?"
"Nothing, just a joke."
Bi Fang pinched his eyebrows. Just now he had a sudden flash of inspiration. Batman has Harvey. In times of crisis, he can create a scene where both Batman and Bruce Wayne are present. Can he also have one?
But after thinking about it, the image difference between the two was too big, so I gave up this idea.
Evading the police search, everyone continued the previous topic.
"Without dolphins, there would be no aquarium. In order to maintain the profit chain, Iki can only purchase dolphins from Taiji Town."
Richard recalled everything he saw and knew.
"I asked the fishermen in Taiji Town if we can subsidize their behavior. In other words, as long as you don't go to sea to catch dolphins, we will give you the same amount of money as the income from killing dolphins, and let the ops bear it."
Mulgallen asked: "What is OPS?"
Bi Fang replied: "A marine conservation association was founded by Richard."
Richard nodded and continued: "It turns out that the local fishermen said that this is not a matter of money, but to prevent and control harmful fish."
Glutinous rice
Prevent harm to fish?
What's the meaning?
Everyone present was confused. Are dolphins harmful to fish?
This was also the first time Bi Fang heard such a statement. He had only heard of pests, never fish, so it was strange that they were fresh.
"Yes." Richard confirmed that he was right. "In other words, the government told them that dolphins eat too many fish in the sea and there will be no fish to catch, so they are harmful to fish, just like eating crops. Like locusts."
"Not only did I say this to the fishermen, but even the representative attending the IWC, Morishita Suji, also said this at the conference."
Morishita Sukeji is a very handsome man who always wears suits and ties and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He smiles with everyone he meets, talks politely, and is very elegant.
As an official, he is also very talented. After all, Japan's participation in the IWC and World Whaling Association is a very embarrassing matter, but he can handle it with ease.
"His job is very difficult. Every day when he gets up, he has to look in the mirror to convince himself, and then go out to explain Japan's whaling policy to the world."
Richard made a cold joke.
"Since 2003, Japan has cited 'scientific data' to blame dolphins and whales for the decline in international fishery production."
Mu Jialun yelled: "How shameless!"
Bi Fang was also very puzzled. He always felt that dolphins and whales were blamed for the reduction of fish resources. This scene seemed familiar.
Oh, isn’t this the saury?
"Japan is really abominable. We in Northern Europe would never be like this." Mu Galen was filled with indignation.
But after Mu Galen said these words, everyone present unanimously turned their attention to him.
Mu Jialun looked at everyone: "What are you doing? Am I right? We also have a lot of whales there. Didn't we encounter them last time when Bifang was drifting on the sea? But we never sell whale meat."
Bi Fang patted Mu Galen on the shoulder: "Norway hunts more whales every year than Japan. In addition, there is Iceland. The three of them are called the 'Big Three' in whaling. Norway is the boss, and Japan is the boss." Second, Iceland is the third.”
Mu Jialun immediately changed his mind: "I am from Yanglan and have nothing to do with the two of them. I mean, strictly speaking, Yanglan actually belongs to Western Europe. Yes, that's true."
Japan is notorious for its whaling activities, but it is by no means the only country that does so.
The two Nordic brothers, Norway and Iceland, are also doing this, together with Japan.
The world's number one "whale killer" is called Norway, not Japan.
When it comes to whaling, Norway is even more jaw-dropping.
Norway and Japan have different approaches. Since 1982, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has banned commercial whaling.
Since then, the Japanese have continued to take advantage of loopholes and continue to hunt whales under the guise of "scientific research."
In comparison, the Norwegians appear to be more "upright". They are too lazy to take advantage of any loopholes or find excuses. They adhere to the Viking style of doing things. You say what you say, and I will catch mine.
The number of whales killed by Norway every year even exceeds the number of whales hunted by Japan and Iceland combined, making it the world's number one "whale killer".
The harpoon they made can weigh up to 45 kilograms and can penetrate the belly of a whale at a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour. It triggers the mechanism within a few milliseconds and quickly releases 100 grams of explosive. After the explosion, the harpoon will open like an umbrella. 4
A hook is wrapped around the whale meat.
This kind of explosive can destroy the internal tissues of whales and is much more lethal than black powder.
If a whale dies "too slowly," whalers will shoot it.
Not only that, Norwegian whalers prefer to follow mother whales - most of them are pregnant with baby whales. According to Norwegian whaling documentaries, 90% of captured whales are pregnant mothers.
Because female whales usually swim slower, they are more likely to be hit by grenades if they swim slowly.
If a whale falls into the hands of the Japanese and is destined to die, then being targeted by the Norwegians is like entering purgatory.
As for Iceland, compared with Japan and Norway, it looks like a little brother following them.
These three places are the main areas where Richard is active.
Dolphins are cetaceans, whales, and dolphins. These three giants catch them all, and wherever dolphins are oppressed, this old man can be found, even in the ugly country itself.
In Icelandic supermarkets, the price of whale meat is generally 2,400 Icelandic kronor per kilogram, which is about 150 Chinese dollars. Many tourists will try it out of curiosity.
But apart from that, not many people like to eat whale meat, and most of the meat is exported to Japan.
After all, Japan seems to be the target of public criticism again, like an unlucky guy. In addition, the ugly country suppresses sea power and publicizes Japan even more, so few people know anything about the other two giants.
Iceland and Norway are both very beautiful places. The bird's-eye tour starts from the northernmost part of Norway. However, many beautiful things are not necessarily beautiful in every aspect.
"Compared to Japan, the crimes of Norway and Iceland are more difficult to expose because they do not gather the dolphins together, but the fishing boats go out to catch the dolphins and spread them out."
In any case, when it comes to whaling, the three giants, Japan, Iceland and Norway, are a complete den of snakes and rats.
Richard said solemnly: "The claws that reach out to animals will eventually reach out to ourselves."
