On this day, the sailors were either in a daze or continuing to tell the story that had been repeated countless times. Even Shuichi Minamino can't stand this kind of boring days. He kept telling himself that he was a few days away from his destination. When you get to your destination, you'll be able to keep yourself busy.

"The wind is blowing!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone noticed that the sea breeze was slowly getting stronger.

Looking at the distant sky, the entire horizon was covered with black and oppressive dark clouds.

"Yaga, the storm is coming!" Nanki Noguchi looked at the dark clouds that could not be seen in the dark, and his face showed a little fear. Although there are often storms in the sea, every time I encounter them, I feel panicked.

"I didn't expect to arrive at my destination in two or three days, and I would encounter a storm, which is really unlucky." Minamino Shuichi frowned tightly. Seeing that the clouds were almost on the surface of the sea, it seemed that this storm must be a big storm.

"Everyone should pay attention to safety when the time comes, and if the storm is too big, they would rather stop sailing." Shuichi Minamino was humane to everyone, and also asked Tanimura Ueno and others to notify the other three fishing boats.

An hour later, the entire fishing team entered the area of the storm.

The sea breeze was raging, and it had reached the height of seven or eight levels.

In the midst of the storm, in addition to the dozen or twenty fishing boats sailing, there were also petrels flying in the sky in the torrential rain. The petrel is a seabird with excellent flight ability, even in storms, and it is really a seabird that is not afraid of death.

At this time, everyone hid in the room, and did not dare to sleep, clutching tightly to the things that could prevent them from falling to the ground. The whole world was left with only the sound of lightning and thunder and violent storms, as if the end had come.

As soon as Minamino saw the young man Miyashita Otaro standing next to him, his face was pale, and his body was nervously bowed. He watched intently at the pouring rain outside the ship. It was as if I was worried that the fishing boat would capsize at any moment. He was with the boat last year, and he is just 15 years old this year, and he is still a trainee sailor. Every time the fishing boat staggered by the waves, he grabbed the handrails on the wall tightly with both hands. Maybe you can only feel a sense of security if you don't let yourself fall.

At present, the sea breeze is about seven or eight degrees, and the fleet can barely navigate. Shuichi Minamino plans to continue sailing, but when he can't sail, he will talk about it. It can sometimes be dangerous to stay in the center of the storm if you continue to do so. It's safer to be able to walk through!

At sea, the sound of the storm obscured everything, except for the lonely sound of diesel engines mixed with the howling sea breeze, and the waves crashed again and again on the deck, hull, and even the top of the ship. The sea water poured down and rushed into the room. The contents of the room staggered because the boat was shaking so much, and like an earthquake, the tables and chairs slid past this corner of the room and back again......

The sea water rushed into the room, and such a thing as Shuichi Minamino had long been accustomed to it. Anyway, the wet clothes will be taken out and dried when the time comes, and the sun on the sea is generally very strong. It dries in an hour!

Three hours later, the entire fleet had finally navigated through the entire storm area.

There was a storm in the back and a sunny day in front.

After the storm, everyone went out onto the deck to enjoy the warm sunshine.

"Whew...... It's finally here! Shuichi Minamino and Tanimura Ueno and the others looked at each other and smiled. People on land will never understand how happy and pleasant this feeling is for the aftermath of a catastrophe at sea.

Two days later, Minamino followed Elizabeth's 3rd Fishing Team to the agreed location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. When they got there, they saw that Elizabeth's First Detachment was already waiting for them.

Two 1,000-ton trawlers, five 800-ton combined fishing vessels, and the rest are 500-ton fishing vessels. The eyes of Shuichi Minamino and the others who watched it were straight.

"This Elizabeth First Detachment Fishing Fleet is strong! Those two 1,000-ton trawlers must have had an easy time catching fish, right? Tanimura Ueno exclaimed.

"That's for sure, this kind of 1,000-tonnage trawler, I estimate that the circumference of their trawl should be more than 800 meters, and not a single school of fish can escape under the net!" Shuichi Minamino said lightly.

"Such large fishing vessels can only be afforded and used by companies like the British Fisheries Company." Ishida smacked his lips with envy. This trawler is already the most advanced fishing vessel. It is highly resistant to winds and mechanized, making fishing much easier. It's just a simple and crude existence.

This time, the head of Elizabeth's ocean-going fishing was called Brandon, the leader of Elizabeth's first detachment was called Darcy, the captain of the third detachment was called Dennis, and the person in charge of logistics and transportation was called George.

The men had a small meeting just after the fishing fleet had converged. They all belong to the same company. Now that we're going to be fishing, it's time to have a meeting to discuss the details.

Soon the men came up with a series of plans.

"Who are those four fishing boats docked on the edge over there? I don't think it's our Elizabeth fishing team, right? Chelsea asked, looking at the four fishing boats on Shuichi Minamino's side. Elizabeth had three detachments, and there was no second detachment over there.

"It's a local fishing boat at the island country Nene Muro Fishing Port, and the owner of the fleet seems to be called Shuichi Minamino. It was Manager Carole who recommended him to follow our fleet to the Pacific Ocean for distant-water fishing. Brandon said without being salty. To be honest, he kind of hated the decision from above. Their company's fishing team has always acted on its own, so why did they bring outsiders with them this time?

"Hehe, only four fishing boats dare to come to the Pacific Ocean to fish? I hope they don't lose money then! George pouted and scoffed. He saw that only two fishing boats on the other side were of 500 tons, and the other two were only more than 200 tons and 300 tons. It's really nothing compared to their fishing team. You must know that the cost of this kind of distant-water fishing of thousands of kilometers is not known how many times higher than that of inshore fishing. They only have four fishing boats, and if they catch a small number of fish, they will really lose money.

"What does it matter to us if they lose money or not? This time, the company has invested a lot of money, and we must work hard this time in the central and northern Pacific Ocean for half a year. Don't let those on the board down, or we'll all be out of work. Brandon said coldly. In his opinion, how many fish can be caught by four fishing boats? Together, four fishing boats are not enough for him to have a 1,000-tonnage fishing boat!

"Boss, please rest assured, we have several 1,000-ton fishing boats, as long as we encounter a sea area with dense fish, we can ensure that the catch will not be loaded until the transport ship is loaded!" Chelsea patted his chest and assured.

"Boss, do you want to call that guy over?"

"Tell him what to look out for and what to expect and what to do. Otherwise, he won't know the details and it will drag us down. Brandon Road.

"Third child, do you know how that Minamino Shuichi's fishing team is?" George asked Dennis. Because Dennis is currently working in Hokkaido, he also came with Shuichi Minamino when he came.

"I haven't had much contact, just had a few words on the way out. However, the manager of Carol said that he has a lot of experience in fishing and is a person with outstanding ability! Last time, it took him just two months to catch 5,000 tons of tuna, including hundreds of tons of yellowfin tuna. Dennis replied.

"Catch 5,000 tons in two months? Oh, my God! Is Carole joking or joking? No way, how many fishing boats did he use? Everyone was shocked. Even if they were to do so, they might not be able to catch 5,000 tons of tuna in two months.

"I heard that only four or five fishing boats were used! It seems to be fished near the equator of the Pacific Ocean in winter. Dennis Road.

"Four or five! Going to the sea near the equator of the Pacific Ocean in winter? Is there a lot of tuna in the waters near the equator in winter? Even Brandon was moved. In recent years, the migration routes of tuna have not been studied, but tuna is known to exist in several oceans. So he didn't know that many tuna would choose to spend the winter in the sea near the equator.

"Four or five ships caught 5,000 tons, and if you don't brag about it, there are unusually many tuna stocks in that area. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to catch so much tuna. Chelsea analysed.

"Manager Carole told us to try it near the equator in the Pacific Ocean this winter to see if there was more tuna." Dennis said in a deep voice.

"Well, you can give this a try." Brandon nodded.

"Hmph, maybe he's lucky." George was still a little unconvinced. Even if tuna is very dense in one area, you can't just catch it, right?

"Okay, let's call him over first to discuss our plan, and start fishing tomorrow, we can't waste any more time." Brandon stopped several people from continuing to discuss the matter.

…………

"Boss, the Elizabeth Fishing Team has asked you to come over for a meeting to discuss the fishing operation." Shuichi Minamino was squinting and napping at this time, when he heard Ishida Yu's fart running over.

"In the past?" Shuichi Minamino opened his eyes.

"Yes."

"Let's go." Shuichi Minamino knew that such a large-scale fishing operation, as well as logistical support, would definitely ask him to discuss it. Otherwise, it will not be good if there is chaos at that time.

At this time, the fishing boats are all concentrated in one place, and the distance between the boats and the boats is only a few tens of meters, so it does not take much time to paddle through with small kayaks.

Sitting in a small kayak, Ishida and the others rowed hard to the 1,000-ton trawler. (To be continued.) )
