A research ship is slowly moving on the sea, and on both sides of this ship, there is a pattern.

In the center of the pattern is a leaping whale, and on the periphery is a circle of English letters, which translates into Chinese as "Sea Shepherd Association".

Sea Shepherd is a non-profit organization founded by Paul Watson to combat whaling and maintain the balance of the ocean.

The Guardians Association was originally an observer organization affiliated with the International Whaling Commission.

However, Paul was annoyed by the inaction and compromise policies of the International Whaling Commission in the later years, and the two sides eventually broke up, and Sea Shepherd became its own family.

Unlike the Whaling Commission's "issuance ban", Sea Shepherd's crackdown is much more intense.

To put it simply, it is to forcibly expel the whaling fleet by throwing rotten eggs, stinky oil bottles, rotten food, and other disgusting items at the whaling ship.

To a certain extent, this drastic measure has dealt a blow to whaling activities in various countries, especially in Japan. But it has inevitably been controversial and even called an "environmental terrorist" by some.

In addition to this, Sea Shepherd's actions have also led to some legal disputes, and founder Paul Watson himself spent some time in prison.

But Paul always insisted that their tactics were the right and effective.

So to this day, Paul is leading the fleet of the Guardian Society, sparing no effort to combat whaling in Japan, and openly proclaiming that "Japan is the most terrifying country on earth"......

Inside a cabin.

"Damn the Japanese, they're starting their disgusting whaling again!" said an old man with a white beard, slamming his desk.

This white-bearded old man is none other than the founder and current president of Sea Shepherd, Paul Watson.

Paul was in his sixties, not very tall, but he seemed to want to be strong, and his face was red.

Aside from his white beard and white hair, he was in good spirits and didn't look like an old man in his sixties.

"President, according to the information sent by the Hakodate branch, the whaling base should be carried out within the territorial waters of Japan. ”

"If it's not on the high seas, I'm afraid there will be a lot of controversy if we stop it like this. A blonde young man with black-rimmed glasses said with some hesitation.

Paul sneered: "It seems that they also know that we are patrolling the neighborhood...... It is estimated that because of our actions in the south the day before yesterday, the timid Japanese people have been so frightened that they dare not go out into territorial waters. ”

"In that case, let's take the initiative...... As long as they dare to hunt whales, we will shoot!"

The blonde youth was embarrassed for a while: "This ...... Maybe we'll be taken to court again. ”

"Even if you are sued in court, it is my responsibility! Paul glanced at him.

"Besides, it's not like I haven't been in prison! I'm not afraid of an old man, so what do you have to worry about?"

The blond young man choked back, thought for a while and said, "Then shouldn't we notify the Japanese government first, after all, it is within the territorial waters of the other side......"

Paul waved his hand and said categorically, "No!"

"There is a right of innocent passage, there is no need to notify. Warriors, get ready for action!"

With that, he walked out of the room first, as if he were really a warrior preparing to go on battle.

The blonde young man sighed helplessly, and then followed out.

……

As the boss said, the small yacht rented by Lin Han was indeed not slow, and not long after setting off from the port, he could no longer see the scenery on the shore.

On the endless blue sea, you can still see some boats from time to time, including fishing boats, cargo ships, and of course, yachts and cruise ships.

There are many people who come to Hokkaido from all over the world every year, and the entire tertiary industry in Hokkaido is supported by tourism.

As it is stated in some articles, it is a "tourist destination that young people cannot miss".

After arriving at such a must-see tourist destination, people will find many "must-see attractions", "must-see hotels", "must-see food", and "must-see goods......

There are always a lot of things that can't be missed in this world until you're shy.

With a large number of tourists, Hokkaido often has a casual atmosphere.

Few people know that the whaling base here often regularly sends out whaling fleets to hunt whales in the nearby waters.

In addition to whales, dolphins are sometimes killed.

"Continue east. ”

Lin Han wore sunglasses, leaned his back against the railing, and said something to the driver while blowing the sea breeze.

As he was talking, he didn't forget to take a few photos of the sea scenery with his mobile phone, which looked similar to traveling.

Of course, in his mind's eye, the silhouettes of several whaling ships had already appeared, cruising on the surface of the sea not far away, looking for whales.

Of course, the biological authority and life of a dead thing like a whaling ship cannot be directly perceived. But as a huge sea object carrying a large number of people and cruising slowly in groups, its characteristics are also easily recognizable.

While secretly observing these whaling ships, Lin Han began to wonder in his heart, how to take action to rectify them......

……

The sea area of eastern Hokkaido.

Several whaling ships are cruising on the surface of the sea, slowly moving eastward, calm and calm.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is nothing special about the appearance of whaling ships, and the overall styling style is between warships and ships, and the volume is large and small.

A few ships like this one, except for one of the extra large mother ships, are pretty much the same, and they're probably bigger than the big whales.

In the bow of each whaling ship, there is a whaling cannon.

The so-called whaling cannon is a sharp weapon used by whaling ships to hunt whales.

Of course, the whaling cannon, although it has the word "cannon", is not a veritable artillery, so it does not fire cannonballs, but giant harpoons.

After the giant harpoon is launched, as long as the whale is hit, no matter what kind of whale, even the largest blue whale, it can be hit in an instant.

No matter how powerful the whale is, when it is seriously injured and the blood is raging, it can only be reduced to fish meat on the chopping board, and at most it struggles for a moment, and it will be dragged away by the whale boat.

Next, the whale carcasses will be loaded into the mother ship and transported to the shore for processing and sales......

On a whaling ship, the captain of the ship, Nakagoro Tanaka, is standing at the bow of the ship, smoking a cigarette leisurely while looking out at the sea in all directions.

Since entering the whaling industry, Kogoro Tanakaro has also been working for more than ten years, until he has been mixed into the position of captain, which can be regarded as a small achievement.

In his opinion, the value of an animal in the sea is positively correlated with its size. The bigger the size, the higher the value.

Whales are the largest and most valuable.

As a high-quality meat, it is very easy to sell a large whale for tens of millions of yen.

What's more, whales are full of treasures, in addition to providing meat, whale skin, whale bones, whale oil, ambergris and other by-products are also very popular in the market, and there is no worry about sales.

Therefore, for the measures of international organizations to restrict whaling, Tanakagoro naturally has always scoffed.

The whale I caught with my ability, which onion is your International Whaling Commission?

In fact, the International Whaling Commission's ban on "total commercial whaling" was loosened just a few years after it was issued, and whaling for scientific research began to be allowed.

However, this definition of "for the purpose of scientific research" is very vague, and there is a lot of room for operation.

Catching one whale can be scientific research, and catching a thousand whales can also be scientific research.

After catching it back, regardless of whether there is scientific research in the end or not, it is said that the scientific research work has been completed, and so much whale meat must not be wasted, so it is necessary to start processing and selling it in a bright and bright manner......

The whaling commission's ban is a null and void.

Kogoro Tanaka put one hand on the whaling cannon and prepared to light another cigarette.

At this moment, a crew member ran over quickly and said, "Captain Tanaka, the sonar has detected three whales in front of you just now, do you want to go and kill them immediately?"

Kogoro Tanaka's eyes lit up, and he directly threw the cigarette he had just lit into the sea: "What kind of whale is it?"

"Judging from the information from the sonar feedback, it should be that the blue whale is good. Said the crew.

"Blue Whale...... Good. ”

Kogoro Tanaka rubbed his hands, then got off the bow of the boat, and commanded, "Go and arrange it immediately, and prepare to start hunting." ”

"Hey!"

Several whaling ships, one after another, detected the information of nearby whales, and began to adjust their directions, and at the same time turned on the water spray equipment on both sides of the ship.

"Tom tom tom...... Tom ......"

Water jets on both sides of the whaling ship spray the pumped seawater into the sea at high speed, causing waves on the surface of the sea to make the scene seem to boil.

In this way, whales can be effectively attracted to the surface, which is convenient for hunting.

After all, the resistance of the water is still very large, and if the whale, as a top diving master, does not float, the power of the whaling cannon is simply not enough to break the layers of sea water.

"Tom ......"

Every whaling ship began to spray water, stirring up waves in the nearby seas, which was very unsettled.

Seagulls are soaring and chirping, and fish in the water are churning from time to time.

Gradually, there was a faint whale roar, coming from the sea, like a dragon's roar.

"Moo-"

As the movement of the whales became louder and louder, the crews of the various whaling ships also became excited and engrossed, waiting for the whales to emerge.

"Moo-"

In one of the cabins, Kogoro Tanaka looked at the image on the monitor and couldn't help but say, "I'm coming up!

"Hi. ”

Beside him, a crew member sits with a handle in both hands, his thumb resting on the button at the top of the handle, looking intently at the monitor, ready to go.

"Bang dang!"

"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

At this moment, there was a cacophony of ping-pong sounds outside the cabin, accompanied by exclamations from some of the crew.

"What's going on!"

Kogoro Tanaka's face changed, and he immediately left the cabin, but as soon as he went out, he was greeted by an egg flying in front of him, hitting his forehead.

"Smack!"

The egg shattered, and a strong stench rushed to Kogoro Tanaka's mouth and nose along with the slimy slurry.

"Baba gag, vomit...... ...... vomit"

Tanakagoro didn't finish his sentence, he couldn't help but hold on to the handrail, and vomited violently.

"Captain Tanaka!" a crew member hurriedly ran over and helped Kogoro Tanaka up.

Kogoro Tanaka endured his nausea and wiped the rotten egg slurry off his face, only to almost throw up again.

"Hair ...... Vomit...... What happened?"

The crew also had a bitter face: "It's Sea Shepherd, Paul Watson brought someone over." ”

"The environmental terrorist?"

The corners of Tanakagoro's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly ran to the side of the boat, and when he looked up, he saw the Sea Shepherd Society's boat.

The ship's logo is so conspicuous that, in addition to the logo of the association on the side of the ship, an additional symbol resembling a "pirate flag" is planted on the ship, indicating its determination to violently combat whaling.

At this moment, on the Sea Shepherd research ship, a row of projectile devices is in non-stop operation.

Rotten eggs, bottles of rancid butter, rotten food, and all sorts of disgusting things were launched all over the world and smashed into the whaling ship.

While these things are not life-threatening, once hit, they are an experience that will never be forgotten.

Therefore, all the crew members of the whaling ship were afraid to avoid it, and fled in all directions to hide in the ship, causing chaos, and the whaling operation was naturally forced to be suspended.

A Coke bottle flew in and smashed into the cabin, and in no time at all, rancid butter poured down and poured right on Kogoro Tanaka's head.

"Vomit ......"

Kogoro Tanaka's stomach had already emptied, and although he was nauseous, he only vomited some sour water for a while.

"Damn, bastards......" he said, gritting his teeth as he held on to the armrest.

After such a toss by Sea Shepherd, the whale that had just been lured up must have sunk again.

If not, these whales might just run away.

If he could, Kogoro Tanaka would definitely be willing to fire a whaling cannon at Sea Shepherd.

But the lethality of this thing is still quite terrifying, and it will kill people if you don't do it. If someone is really going to die, it's a big deal.

So in the face of the other party's rotten egg attack, the whaling ship really has nothing to do.

"Captain, let's take shelter in the ship first. ”

"Well, go back first...... I don't believe it, their research ship, rotten eggs can be endless. ”

After a few moments, the people on several whaling ships had already cowered, and they just drove the boats and continued to move slowly on the sea.

Faced with a group of environmental terrorists, the whaling fleet made a wise decision.

Can't be provoked, can't we still hide......

Seeing that the other party was collectively shrinking, the Sea Shepherd Association immediately stopped its firepower.

Paul Watson took the binoculars and looked at them carefully for a moment, then said, "How is it in the water, are the whales still nearby?"

"The whales in the sea are still wandering around, and it is estimated that they will not stay away for a while and a half. The crew next to him said.

Paul Watson frowned slightly: "In that case, then continue to follow the whaling fleet and drive them out of this sea." ”

"But......" The crew hesitated.

Paul Watson frowned, turned his head and asked, "But what?"

"However, we are running out of projectiles. ”
