Just when the captain and sailors of the whaling ship looked at the blue whale approaching rapidly under the sea, and their faces were full of panic and despair, the blue whale suddenly dived down a section, swam across the bottom of their lifeboat, and they could even hear the sound of the back of the blue whale rubbing against the bottom of the lifeboat!
It took a long time for 30 meters to swim by, and the long sound of friction lingered in their ears, which was a great torture for them!
The whole lifeboat was silent. There was a smell of urine in the air, but no one said anything.
Until the sound of friction disappeared, all the people on the ship were a little relieved, but thinking that the whales were under the water and could attack them at any time, the captain immediately shouted to the anti whaling ship nearby with a face of panic.
"Help us up! This monster is going to eat us! "
People on the anti whaling ship looked at each other, and finally all looked at Paul Watson, a middle-aged man with white hair and founder of the Sea Shepherd Association, who had ordered the lifebuoy to be thrown at the fallen whaling crew.
In the eyes of all the sea guardians, Paul Watson looked at the blue whale swimming slowly under the sea, and calmly refused.
"That's a blue whale. He doesn't eat people! You're safe and don't need our help! "
Before throwing lifebuoys to them, it was out of the greatest humanitarian help. Paul Watson would not provide more help to them, let alone allow them to get on the ship, when they had boarded the lifeboat and would not be drowned.
As for the reason, it is not only because of the contradiction between the two sides, but also because of a judgment in the previous years.
A New Zealand anti whaling protest ship captain was arrested and taken back to Japan by sailors for illegally boarding a Japanese whaling ship. Finally, he was sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment and 5 years' suspension by the Japanese court.
It was only after the Sea Shepherd Association spent 44 million yen to hire a lawyer that the verdict was reduced, otherwise the captain was likely to face up to 15 years in prison.
In the case of such a precedent, the people of the Sea Shepherd Association will naturally be extremely defensive and resistant to them, and it is impossible for them to board the ship, let alone send them back home.
According to Paul Watson's understanding of these whalers, they are all mercenaries. He knows that if they rescue these people on the whaling ship, they are likely to take them back to Japan and arrest them when they do not pay attention to the control of the ship.
This can be seen from the consistent performance of Japan in history.
When they are weak, they will be very obedient and seek the help of the strong. Once they find the opportunity, they will not hesitate to attack the people who have helped them. Paul Watson doesn't want to be the farmer who was bitten by the snake!
"Damn, didn't you see him capsizing our boat? Hurry up and get us up, or it will crash the lifeboat too! "
Cried the captain of the whaling ship, a little angry.
Paul Watson shook his head coldly, and said coldly.
"In that case, I will send our lifeboat to you and help you to ask for help from the Japanese Navy! I know they are not far away! As for boarding our ship, you are not qualified! "
They have been fighting with each other for more than ten years. They have a deep grudge and know each other very well. Seeing Paul Watson's categorical refusal to board the ship, the captain of the whaling ship has not continued to waste words. As an excellent captain of Japan, he will not beg for mercy from the enemy!
As a matter of fact, he knew that even if he begged for mercy, it would be useless.
These Sea Shepherd people, though they won't watch them drown, are nothing more.
The captain of the whaling ship immediately had to give up the idea of getting on the anti whaling ship and yelled at the people behind the lifeboat with a gloomy face.
"There's a radio behind the lifeboat. Get it to me!"
At this time, the cabin of the lifeboat was full of people and it was very difficult to move. He could only ask others to pass him the radio.
The sailors at the back soon found the radio from the emergency box and randomly passed it to the captain.
After receiving the radio, he quickly connected to the channel that followed them to escort the warship, and asked for help anxiously.
"P298 frigate! I'm captain of the whaling ship Yongxin pill! We were attacked by a blue whale, the whaling ship was overturned, the blue whale is now hovering beside us, and the lifeboat may be destroyed at any time! Come and help us! "
On the warship sent by the military to escort the whaling ship, when the captain of the whaling ship asked for help, the people in the command room of the warship could not help but look at each other.
"What did the guy just say?"
The captain of the frigate looked doubtfully at his deputy.
He was very dissatisfied with being sent to guard a whaling ship. He knew that this was an exchange of interests between the upper class.
But he didn't get any benefits. Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to it. After arriving at this sea area, he didn't follow the whaling boat closely. In his opinion, whaling can encounter any danger. As for those anti whaling environmentalists, they can't make much impact at all.So when he heard that an anti whaling ship was obstructing their whaling, he didn't worry. He just ordered the warship to move towards their position and let them fight for a while. He just saw the excitement first and then came out to drive them away at the critical moment.
Although the deputy was also confused, he repeated what he had just heard.
"He said the whaling boat had been overturned by a blue whale and was now preparing to attack their lifeboat."
The captain of the frigate said with disgust on his face.
"Is that guy crazy? My son knows that blue whale is a kind of very docile animal. He won't attack humans at all. He killed many whales, went mad, or watched many horror movies! "
Hearing this, the Deputy nodded approvingly, then asked the captain.
"Then shall we..."
Although the captain was very impatient, he could not ignore the whaling ship completely because of the order from his superior, so he said impatiently.
"Speed up. Go and see what they're up to."
On the other side, on the lifeboat, I got the news that the frigate was coming. The captain of the whaling ship could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the warship arrived, no matter the scumbags on the anti whaling ship who were in danger of dying, or the damn whale in the sea would have a good ending!
He must let the frigate kill the whale to relieve his hatred!
