Without the escort of Japanese warships, these whaling ships were no match for Sea Shepherd's anti-whaling fleet, so several whaling ships had to turn around and sail back unwillingly.
Sea Shepherd's anti-whaling ship followed them and "escorted" them out of the whaling waters before stopping.
Watching their retreating figures, the members of the Sea Shepherd Association on the anti-whaling boat couldn't help but burst into warm cheers.
This is the biggest success that Sea Shepherd has achieved since its establishment!
The six whaling ships caught nothing and returned home without killing a single whale. This was something they had never even dared to think about before.
However, the reason why they were able to achieve such great success was that, in addition to the new anti-whaling ship they equipped and the location information of the whaling ship provided by Gao Yuan, the most important thing was the missile that fell from the sky.
Not only were the Japanese soldiers confused, they were also confused as to where the missile came from.
Is it possible that the military of some country is also opposed to whaling as they are, and after discovering the situation here, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they launched missiles to help them kill the warship blocking the way?
It’s too willful!
Even they themselves didn't believe this speculation, but they really couldn't think of any other more reasonable possibility.
Could it be that the launch was wrong?
Seeing how the missile was aimed at the Japanese warship and pounced on it, there was no way it was launched by mistake.
But they soon discovered that sometimes things can be so dramatic!
The Japanese warship was sunk by a missile. Naturally, they would not let it go so easily. They quickly conducted an investigation based on the information they had and finally confirmed the origin of the missile.
Although the warship has completely sunk to the bottom of the sea and is difficult to salvage, the pictures taken on the warship and the information collected by the radar have been transmitted to the base. After comparison, it is easy to determine the model of the missile.
Tomahawk cruise missiles equipped by the United States!
And the direction it shot from was also the San Diego Naval Base in the United States!
The situation when the frigate undergoing maintenance at the San Diego Naval Base fired the Tomahawk missile could not be hidden from anyone. Many tourists and residents around saw the scene of the missile taking off, and some even took pictures of it.
Regardless of the time, missile type, or flight direction, they all match. The Tomahawk missile that sank the Japanese warship was launched from this frigate!
Although the culprit was found, the Japanese side was not happy at all, but was extremely troubled.
If the missiles were launched by any other country, they would directly stand up and severely accuse them, demanding an explanation from the other country.
However, now that it is the United States that is launching the missiles, they don't know what to do.
Although Japan also has its own Self-Defense Forces, they are far from comparable to the United States in terms of size and strength.
And these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that the United States has deployed more than 140 military bases of various sizes throughout Japan!
Although Japan is a sovereign country, it is actually completely controlled militarily by the United States and has completely become its little brother!
For a long time, the American troops stationed in Japan have been doing random things in Japan, but the Japanese authorities have dared to be angry and dare not speak out. Now that they learned that the person who sank their warship was actually their own boss, the Japanese government, which was originally aggressive in investigating the real culprit, suddenly withered.
I don't even dare to fart.
However, although the Japanese government was afraid of the United States and did not dare to say anything, the Japanese people did not have the government's concerns. Angry people spontaneously gathered and protested outside the U.S. Embassy in Japan and various military bases.
At the same time, while the Japanese authorities remained silent, many other countries came forward to express concern and condemnation of the United States' unprovoked bombing of Japanese warships!
Seeing other countries coming forward and issuing righteous statements of condemnation, and then comparing it with the silence of their own government, the hearts of the Japanese people are extremely complicated.
As Japanese citizens, they all couldn't help but feel extremely useless and aggrieved.
Originally, the American military was shocked after the Tomahawk missile was accidentally launched, but when they learned that it had only sunk a Japanese warship, they didn't take it to heart anymore.
As the boss of Japan, what’s so big about blowing up one of their warships? I’m sorry that the Japanese government doesn’t dare to say anything!
It's just that they didn't expect that although the Japanese government chose to compromise, the Japanese people and other countries stood up, and even the people of the United States protested against their actions.
The military had to stand up and explain this.
"This incident was just an accident! It was a friendly fire!"
The Pentagon spokesperson stood on the podium and said in a deep voice.
"This Tomahawk missile was originally installed on the frigate destroyed by Iron Man. It was accidentally launched while the missile was being disassembled for repairs, and it happened to hit the Japanese warship."
"According to the news we received from Japan, all crew members on the Japanese warship were rescued, and there were no casualties..."
The Pentagon gave a detailed explanation for the accidental launch of the missile and produced surveillance video from the shipyard at the time as evidence. Unfortunately, not many people believed their story.
The last battle between Iron Man and the US aircraft carrier fleet attracted countless people's attention, and the subsequent massive protests and demonstrations in the United States aroused people's continued attention.
The incident of a Japanese warship being sunk by an American missile has undoubtedly put the United States at the forefront of the storm again. Countless people are curious, what does the United States want to do?
Capturing Iron Man, murdering our own soldiers, bombing our own civilians, and now even Japanese warships, they have too much drama!
To show off how many missiles you have? Blow up Japan yourself!
Could it be that they want to start World War 3?
Thinking of Chris' current unfavorable situation, many people couldn't help but think of a possibility.
The U.S. Constitution stipulates that the president cannot be impeached during a war. If the United States really provokes World War III, or goes to war with a certain country, then Congress’s impeachment proposal for Chris will be postponed. What Chris faces
The crisis will also be temporarily lifted.
This speculation was quickly recognized by many people, and no one believed it. This was really an accident.
No, the Japanese government believes it!
The U.S. military is also very aggrieved by this.
Although before they arrested Iron Man, murdered their own soldiers, and bombed their own civilians, all of these were done deliberately, but this time, it was really an accident!
