……

In the early winter, the cold wind is cold, and in the east in the parallel world, the giant ship of war is still slowly moving forward on the route.

At seven o'clock in the morning, a round of morning sun slowly rose from the horizon, leaving the shade of the large coniferous forest and hanging into the sky; In the vast sea of Japan, the shimmering waves, the trawlers on the shore are like fallen leaves on the surface of the lake, blown by the breeze, dragging shallow ripples of water slowly.

On the night that had just passed, the two sides of the war, across the sea, had another high-intensity mid-air collision.

The situation of the war is constantly changing, and the confrontation between East and West that broke out in the Far East is naturally dominated by sea and air battles, and the US and Soviet armies, which have met each other in the battlefields of Europe and the Caucasus, can now only face each other across the sea, and tanks and artillery are not yet of any use for the time being. As far as the eye can see, from the Korean Peninsula to Sakhalin Island, in the Sea of Japan, where there are always rough seas, fighter planes are flying back and forth in the sky, warships are coming and going on the water, and submarines quietly lurking under the blue sea are also fighting wits and courage, surviving in the cracks between the detection of anti-submarine patrol planes of the two sides, and shooting the heavy sword of death that sleeps at the bottom of the sea at one warship after another.

As the sun rises and the day of war and gunpowder has just begun, Japanese fishermen who sail early in the morning are already fearful of sailing out of the harbor, and some of the earlier boats sail deeper into the northern part of the Sea of Japan in the hope of catching some valuable herring or Pacific sardines.

The western corner of Hokkaido, the Sea of Japan, is as rich as the entire area where the Korean Warm Current meets.

Unlike the deep waters in the middle of the ocean, the shallow waters of the northern seas are more plankton and have a lot of cruising fish, so many fishermen in Hokkaido are spared the pain of distant-water fishing. Get a slice of the Lucian at the doorstep and across the street.

And yet now. After all, a qiē is a thing of the past. Under the tense situation of the rice and Lu war, the government agencies persuaded the fishermen not to go to sea for the time being, and even if they had to go out, it was best to only hang around the shore, but the fishermen who relied on the sea to eat the sea and did not reap the harvest for several days could not care so much, even if the gray-blue ships with red star flags on a white background were haunted in the Japanese Sea, and from time to time fishermen were arrested and detained on charges of espionage (maybe they were really spies, who knows), there were still some daring fishing boats on the blue sea every day. Dragging a huge net bag and paddling around.

In the early morning in the northern part of the Sea of Japan, the bitter north wind that has been blowing for several days has temporarily stopped. On the deep blue water, the ripples of the water spread diagonally cut through the calm sea.

Driving a 350-horsepower fishing boat westward, staring nervously at the gray display screen and monitoring the surroundings with the navigation radar set up on the guò boat, Takeji Ohno, a middle-aged fisherman from Matsumae City, Hokkaido, raised his eyes from time to time with a cigarette roll in his mouth.

Seriously, although he spent a lot of money to get a radar and install it on his "Chiyo Maru", he never felt how useful this broken machine of Sanyo Co., Ltd. was, if it was in a calm situation. As a veteran captain who has been at sea for more than 20 years, he still trusts his eyes and ears more. In addition, most seafarers will think more or less like this, and the kind of intuition when encountering danger is the most reliable.

However, no matter how confident he was in his ears and eyes, the faint gusts of wind and clouds and dull thunder in the dawn sky made Takeji Ohno have no bottom in his heart.

Since the outbreak of the war, this is not the first time that you have been out to sea, and it may be okay to stay at home on the Matsumae Beach, but once you run to the depths of the unobstructed ocean, the sky is constantly filled with terrible rolling and thunder, and sometimes you can see planes dragging black smoke and flames in the sky, and presumably falling directly into the sea in the end.

He was not at all interested in the fighters or anything, whether the planes flying high in the sky belonged to Great Japan or the red Lucia on the opposite side, Captain Ohno could not tell at all, he could only learn about the current war situation from the TV and radio, and listened to the announcers who were full of words to cheer up all the people again and again, "Lucia's army has also suffered heavy losses today", "Midi is planning a new counteroffensive strategy".

The battle in the sky is not incomprehensible for the time being, so it sounds like the dignified Japan still has an advantage in the war, and even "it will be able to fight back with the allies in the near future and quell the red threat in the Far East"?

It would be difficult for an old captain to figure out a militaristic event such as a world war, but Takeji Ohno was still skeptical of the announcer's wording, probably from his intuition.

Isn't it, although when he was born, the Second World War had ended for several years, but Captain Ohno did hear his father talk about the end of the frenzy of the whole country cheering for the expedition and the establishment of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere"; Against the backdrop of a slightly empty look, Jiro Ohno, who had seen through the Japanese bureaucrats and politicians, said many times that when the Midi bombers were visiting Honshu Island every day and turning Japanese cities full of wooden buildings into a sea of fire, the officers in the base camp with straight uniforms and shiny riding boots still put His Majesty the Emperor aside, and declared hoarsely on the radio that "luck will be fought here, and the jade of the people's peace will be shattered......

"National jade shattering", hum, such a cliché, he Ono Takeji has heard a lot; It has been peaceful and peaceful for decades, and now when something happens, there are still so many fanatics who jump out and wave their flags and shout!

These two hundred and five same guys, don't they have to wake up every day without clothes and food, the fish in the bowl may be the hard work of themselves and the crew, but now, they want to point to the faces of all living beings, and tell these people "Luck is fighting here, how will the Emperor of Mi be" and so on.

A country like Lucia did not make Japan suffer a lot back then, and now although it is fighting to the death with the Red Party under the rule of Emperor Mi, who can say clearly what happened on the battlefield?

As he drove the boat forward, he was meditating on the bridge with his hands on his hands, when the shouts of the crew were heard in his ears.

When he went out to sea early in the morning, someone was shouting on the boat, and Takeji Ohno, who was a little impatient, looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and the first thing he saw was a bright orange that appeared and disappeared for a while.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he was reminded by the crew that the color probably represented something like a life raft and a life jacket, and it may be the military victims who had recently posted notices and leaflets from the county office asking for the best efforts to rescue them.

“Yoshi，——hayaku！

Everyone cheered up, the course, south-west, if it was Lucia's army, immediately arrest it! ”

Just now, he was a little jealous of the red empire on the other side of the ocean, but now he saw a bright orange, and Takeji Ohno, who was not interested in war and politics, was still a Japanese citizen after all, and he naturally hoped that it was not a self-defense member who was soaking in the sea at this time, but a Lucia Shengfan who escaped by luck.

With the captain's order, the roar of the diesel engine suddenly increased, and the "Chiyomaru" fishing boat, which was speeding forward, soon approached the life raft floating on the sea. It's a soldier of the Self-Defense Forces.

Damn, what the hell is going on, a pilot who fell from the sky?

Because he frowned because he witnessed a wolf appearance of an imperial soldier, Takeji Ohno was not in a good mood, but he followed the "Chiyomaru" to approach the small raft in the vast sea, and saw that the guy who was struggling in the water with half of his body was still shouting and shouting, and the words he said were upside down, so he felt very tricky, and hurriedly commanded a few people to lean over the boat and rescue the soldier who fell into the soup chicken.

"What's wrong? - What unit are you a member of? ”

"Ah...... Kusoaaaa- bastards, all dead, ahhhhhhh ”

"W-what, everybody's dead?"

Confused by the frightened guy standing on the deck of the ship, who seemed to be a pilot, Takeji Ohno had no idea what was going on, but he remembered that when he approached the water, he seemed to have heard a dull "boom-boom-" sound or two.

Sounds like thunder, and like an explosion, isn't it ......?

Looking at the appearance of the soldier in front of him, most of them were flying planes to fight, but they were beaten down by the hateful Lucia, Captain Ohno was still standing there and didn't know what to do, after all, he was originally going to go fishing today, but the self-defense captain in front of him, can he wait on the ship to return to port with him?

The captain was still hesitating, but the Self-Defense Force pilot, who had just been rescued, was still in shock, shivering like chaff on the spot.

If it weren't for the Chiyo Maru, which happened to pass by here, by the time the Self-Defense Force rescue planes or ships followed the beacons to find him, he would have turned into a cold corpse.

Feeling fortunate for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, recalling the experience of a battle just now, or the terrifying scene of being slaughtered, Kosuke Okada, a third-class air lieutenant of the Self-Defense Forces, was still in chaos in his mind, and he could only vaguely remember the frenzied call in the headset and the terrible scene at the moment when the landline was hit by a bullet and caught fire; Just as the landline was hit by the Lucians and then spiraled out of control, an exclamation came out of the almost non-functional radio, and his mind turned into a disconnected kite.
