Chapter 1704 Wandering
Everyone was in high spirits, wishing they could sprout wings and fly to the shore immediately.
They were all going all out, running at full speed.
Once they're on shore, they're in charge. The whole city will know they've captured a ship full of Japanese devils, hahaha...
Ye Yaopeng asked excitedly, "Dongzi, do you think their ships are far from here?"
"How would I know? But there must be a lot of boats that have come all this way to fish, so there must be some security personnel in the area. Anyway, let's hurry up."
Ye Yaohua: "Shall we go back and ask them how much of a thank-you fee they should ask for?"
"What do you think?"
Ah Zheng made an outrageous demand: "I don't think 5 for a boat is excessive!"
Ah Guang chimed in, "Yes, not at all. They came all that way, and we even went out of our way to bring their boat ashore to repair it! What if they got killed by the Taiwanese?"
Xiao Xiao also said, "That's right, we saved dozens of their lives. If we hadn't sent so many boats over, the Taiwanese wouldn't even know how to walk yet, and they might have lost both their people and their boats."
Ye Yaodong stroked his chin, "I feel like 5 yuan is still too little..."
Maybe that's just the monthly salary for those five workers? Come to think of it, that's really not much!
He was thinking of making do with 2 yuan a boat, but he's really too used to domestic prices. He should be more considerate of other countries' prices.
Ah Zheng was delighted to be agreed with, "Hahaha, you're even more ruthless than I am."
Ye Yaodong: "The premise of these ideas is that we have to run fast, and it would be best if we could destroy their communication equipment."
The captain next to him said, "Then we'll have to force them to board and go to their bridge..."
"Forget it, we're already on the move, and they've already notified everyone. Any more trouble will only waste time. You guys should assign shifts for the night watch; it'll be dark soon."
They should run away as soon as possible, the closer to the coast the better. What can the enemy do to them if they catch up with them?
"receive."
Ye Yaodong kept a close eye on the ship being towed. The other crew members remained vigilantly standing on the deck, while his own crew members also stood on the deck, watching the other side intently.
There weren't as many people as at the beginning, and they weren't all standing on the deck; they've probably started taking turns.
Their dozen or so boats surrounded the towed fishing boat, keeping watch on them from all sides to prevent them from causing trouble.
The nighttime is more unpredictable, so Ye Yaodong usually chooses to sail at night and oversee things while the others go to rest.
The other fishing boat can only wait for the warships to arrive as soon as possible; there's nothing else they can do but watch them anxiously, fearing they'll be devoured alive.
He believed that the other ship's captain was also urging the ship to come over as soon as possible, and he contacted the shore control again.
The shore command also responded, saying that they had helped to contact and notify the relevant parties, and were arranging to dispatch patrol boats from the near sea. Their deep-sea capabilities were already weak, and since no new training missions had been arranged after the Lunar New Year, their efficiency was not as good as last year.
He felt a little relieved that something was being arranged.
The night passed calmly and uneventfully. The workers on deck changed shifts again, but the fishermen on the other ship remained seated on deck, looking listless and somewhat like prisoners.
Ye Yaodong handed the boat over to the captain, saying, "Keep an eye on it, and move quickly. Call me anytime if anything happens, don't worry about waking me up."
"clear."
"There's no need to worry now. They can't do anything to us anymore. Even if they catch up with us, they'll be fearless. The official ships might be coming tonight. The shore command already responded last night."
"Anyway, I'll try to run as fast as I can; I'll definitely go all out."
He nodded and went to sleep.
Actually, he felt that there was a high chance that the other side's patrol ship would catch up with them during the day. After all, if the ship couldn't move, they would definitely notify the rescue team as soon as possible. In addition, with their appearance, almost a day and a night had passed since the incident.
When he woke up, he estimated that about 24 hours had passed since yesterday afternoon. The captain on the other side was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, he must have been urging them to come quickly. The patrol ship would definitely come looking for him as soon as possible, but he was certain that the other side would not dare to follow.
This is their territorial waters.
After a night had passed and they had sailed all the way here, he was no longer worried.
However, since it's just dawn, he needs to go to sleep now so that he'll be alert if anything happens and he needs to be called later.
After staying up all night, everyone still looked energetic, though not as excited as yesterday. They had already had their daydreams, and after he went to rest, the others also went to sleep one after another.
Ye Yaodong was knocked on the door around 1 or 2 p.m. The captain shouted anxiously from outside, "Dongzi, the radar just detected a large ship 20 nautical miles away, heading this way."
He sat up abruptly, instantly becoming alert. "Continue exploring, and also inform the other fishing boats."
"We've already informed them, in case that large ship really comes speeding towards us... it's one of their vessels..."
"Never mind them, we'll just keep going. We're operating in our own waters, it's none of their business. Besides, we're on a rescue mission! If they want to follow us, let them come ashore with us and see if they dare! I bet they won't dare to follow even if they see us!"
He said that, but he quickly got up and planned to go out and get a telescope to take a look.
"How's the weather today? Did you spot any ships with your binoculars?"
"The sky is overcast today, with a wind of force 5 to 6. The visibility is not as good as on a sunny day. It's too far away. Even with binoculars, I can only see the outline of a large ship. I can't see the flag clearly."
"You continue sailing your boat."
Ye Yaodong put on his hat and gloves, picked up his binoculars, and stood on the top of the control tower to look. However, the weather was gloomy today and the visibility was not high, so he could only look for a while longer.
The walkie-talkie at his waist kept ringing non-stop.
"There's a big ship over there, could it be their rescue ship?"
"I don't know. Never mind him. We're already this far. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to continue following us."
"Then run even faster."
"We have over a dozen boats and hundreds of people, what are we afraid of with just one of his boats?"
"Exactly, they definitely wouldn't dare to follow."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but not much was worried. They had the people and the boat under their control, and they had sailed all the way here, so what was there to be afraid of? They just still had to keep an eye on things and be vigilant.
A short while later, Ye Yaodong also got a clear look.
"It's a cargo ship..."
"Oh my god, it's a cargo ship. I guess it's also going to dock like us, so we're going the same way."
"Damn it, the other side is really slow. It's been a whole day and night, and they still haven't shown up. What are they doing?"
"Hahaha... Who's up ahead worried about being overtaken by the other ship?"
Everyone felt a bit more relaxed.
At the same time, inquiries from the cargo ship also came through the public channel, making it clear that they had already detected them.
The captain gave a brief response from inside, which shocked the other party. They immediately caught up and lagged behind, and then continued to chatter with them.
The captain also ran over to reply to him, saying that they were boarding their shipping company's cargo ship in Linji.
Ye Yaodong was stunned. "Huh? What a coincidence! Let them go with it."
Now, if you follow along, you can barely get a share of the pie, but he won't let others follow.
Half an hour later, the ship that everyone had been waiting for finally appeared, and everyone's spirits lifted.
"They're here, they're here! I can see their flag!"
"They've come, so they've come. Even if we give them a chance, they won't dare to follow. They're almost at the continental shelf, so they're even less likely to move now. It's already an invasion, and they're probably feeling incredibly uneasy."
Ye Yaodong was somewhat pleased, realizing that everyone's day of running around hadn't been in vain.
Sure enough, the other ship stopped moving after spotting them and remained hovering in place.
"Not going to continue?"
"Nonsense, this is our territorial waters. It's just that we have weak control over it. Otherwise, we would have warned them and driven them away in the DYD waters."
Ye Yaodong was smug, but now that they had stopped their boats to let them catch up, they didn't dare to go any further.
"These bastards, even if they catch up, they won't dare to follow."
“Let’s go, let’s go our own way. Once we’re ashore, we can file a complaint with the government, saying that their patrol boat has entered our territorial waters and crossed the line.”
"Yeah……"
The patrol boat behind them lingered, neither daring to approach nor willing to leave, and finally caught up to catch a glimpse of them.
Everyone was extremely pleased with themselves.
The fishing boats and people they seized were jumping up and down on the deck, their mouths moving incessantly; it was clear they were cursing.
"Should we send a few ships over to drive them away?"
"No need. Our priority now is to escort this ship back. They won't dare to go any further. They're probably already very nervous during the chase and have already given up."
"Hehe, let's show them and make them furious."
Everyone was extremely excited. They were now halfway to success and just waiting to reach the shore.
Ye Yaodong was also somewhat excited; he had pulled off another big heist.
"Let's go, full speed ahead and head back."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone was full of enthusiasm.
Before long, the fishing boats that had been lingering behind them were no longer visible, and everyone was happily popping champagne.
I slept well that night. If I had caught up with them last night and had been locked in a stalemate, there might have been some twists and turns. Now it's a done deal.
Even the fishermen who had been detained behind them stopped staying on the deck and obediently returned to the cabin to wait to be pulled back to shore.
At dawn, the continental shelf was already in sight, and in just a few hours they would be able to reach the shore.
Now, as they sail, they have begun to encounter some fishing boats near the coast. Some of them are shocked to see the national flags on several of their boats, with a touch of red mixed in, and immediately drop behind them to follow closely.
Those with communication equipment were already chattering away on the channel, and the news spread like wildfire among the near-shore fishing boats, with the number of fishing boats following them increasing visibly.
Actually, we had already encountered fishing boats one after another during the night, but the light was not good at that time, so we didn't see them clearly. We only knew that there was a fleet of boats.
Once daybreak, if a fishing boat spots them, things will get out of control.
