Just as the captain and sailors of the whaling ship looked at the blue whale approaching quickly under the sea, with horror and despair on their faces, the blue whale suddenly dived down, and its body rubbed against the bottom of their lifeboat.
However, they could even hear the sound of the blue whale's back rubbing against the bottom of the lifeboat!
It took them a while to swim across the 30-meter length. The long friction sound lingered in their ears, which was a huge torture for them!
The entire lifeboat was extremely silent, and the air was filled with the smell of urine, but no one said anything.
It wasn't until the sound of friction disappeared that everyone on the boat breathed a sigh of relief. However, thinking that the whale was under the water and might attack them at any time, the captain immediately shouted in panic to the anti-whaling boat next to him.
"Hurry up and save us! This monster is going to eat us!"
Everyone on the anti-whaling boat looked at each other, and finally all looked at a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard, Paul Watson, the founder of Sea Shepherd Association, who had previously ordered the throwing of lifebuoys to the whalers who fell into the water.
In the eyes of everyone at Sea Shepherd, Paul Watson looked at the blue whale swimming slowly under the sea and flatly refused with a stern face.
"That's a blue whale. He doesn't eat people! You are already safe and don't need our rescue!"
Throwing lifebuoys to them before was already the greatest humanitarian help. When they had already boarded the lifeboat and would not drown, Paul Watson would not provide them with more help, let alone
They may be allowed on board.
As for the reason, it is not only due to the contradiction between the two parties, but also due to a judgment a few years ago.
A New Zealand captain of an anti-whaling protest ship illegally boarded a Japanese whaling ship to block it. He was subdued by the sailors on the ship and escorted back to Japan. He was eventually sentenced to two years in prison with a five-year suspension by a Japanese court.
This was only after Sea Shepherd spent 44 million yen to hire a team of lawyers, which resulted in a lighter sentence. Otherwise, the captain might have faced up to 15 years in prison.
With such a precedent, people from the Sea Shepherd Association will naturally be extremely defensive and resistant to them, and it is impossible to let them board the ship, let alone send them back home.
Based on Paul Watson's understanding of these whalers, they are all profit-seeking guys. He knows very well that if they rescue these people on the whaling ship, they will most likely rob the ship while they are not paying attention.
control, took them all back to Japan and arrested them.
Some clues can be seen from Japan's consistent performance in history.
When they are weak, they will be very obedient and seek help from the strong, but once they find an opportunity, they will not hesitate to attack those who once helped them. Paul Watson does not want to be the one bitten by a snake.
farmer!
"Damn it, didn't you see he overturned our boat? Hurry and rescue us, otherwise he will overturn the lifeboat too!"
The captain of the whaler shouted angrily.
Paul Watson shook his head indifferently and said coldly.
"If that's the case, I will give you our lifeboat, and then help you ask the Japanese Navy for help! I know they are not far away! As for boarding our ship, you are not qualified!"
They had been fighting each other for more than ten years, and they had deep grudges and knew each other very well. Seeing that Paul Watson flatly refused them to board the ship, the captain of the whaling ship did not continue to waste his words. As an excellent Japanese captain,
He will not beg for mercy from his enemies!
In fact, he also knew that even if he begged for mercy, it would be useless.
Although these people from the Sea Shepherd Association will not watch them drown, that's all.
The captain of the whaling ship immediately had to give up the idea of boarding the anti-whaling ship, and shouted sullenly to the people behind the lifeboat.
"There's a radio behind the lifeboat, get it to me quickly!"
At this time, the cabin of the lifeboat was crowded with people and it was very difficult to move. He could only ask others to hand him the radio.
The sailor behind quickly found the radio from the emergency box and randomly passed it to the captain.
After taking over the radio, he quickly connected to the channel that followed them to escort the warship, and anxiously asked for help.
"P298 frigate! I am the captain of the whaler Yushin Maru! We were attacked by a blue whale and the whaler was overturned. The blue whale is now wandering around us. The lifeboat may be destroyed at any time! Come on!
Save us!"
On the warship sent by the military to escort the whaling ship, the captain of the whaling ship received a request for help. The people in the warship's command room couldn't help but look at each other.
"What did that guy just say?"
The captain of the frigate looked at his deputy beside him with a puzzled look.
He was originally very dissatisfied with being assigned to guard a whaling ship. He knew very well that this was an exchange of interests between upper-class figures.
But he couldn't get any benefits, so naturally he didn't care much. After arriving in this area, he did not follow the whaling ship. In his opinion, there would be any danger in catching a whale. As for those who opposed whaling,
environmentalists, it will not have much impact at all.
So after learning that an anti-whaling ship was obstructing their whaling, he was not in a hurry. He just ordered the warship to sail towards their location and let them fight for a while. He just happened to watch the excitement first.
, come out again at the critical moment to drive them away.
Although the deputy also looked puzzled, he repeated what he just heard.
"He said the whaling ship had been capsized by a blue whale and was now preparing to attack their lifeboats."
The captain of the frigate couldn't help but look disgusted when he heard this.
"Is that guy crazy? My son knows that blue whales are very docile animals and will not attack humans at all. He has gone crazy because he killed too many whales, or he has watched too many horror movies!"
The deputy couldn't help but nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and then asked the captain.
"What about us?..."
Although the captain was very impatient, he could not completely ignore the whaling ship because of the order from his superiors, so he said impatiently.
"Speed up and go over there to see what the heck they are doing?"
On the other side, on the lifeboat, they got the news that the frigate was coming. The captain of the whaling ship couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the warship arrived, no matter it was the desperate bastards on the anti-whaling ship or the damned one in the sea,
There will be no good end for the whales!
He must let the frigate kill the whale to satisfy his hatred!
