Chapter 520: The Big Three
As a seaside city, heavy rains are common in summer.
At this moment, there was a raging storm outside the car, a splash of rain hit the sloping window, and the wipers swayed from side to side like an out-of-control metronome, scraping the layers of rain on the windshield.
Two policemen in raincoats stood on the side of the road, with a closed shopping street behind them, as if checking for something, stopping passing cars again and again.
Heavy rain crackled on the roof of the car.
Bi Fang said: "Mu Jialun, you and I change positions, hurry up." ”
"Okay."
Bi Fang shook the backrest down, and the two quickly exchanged figures, after which he asked Mu Gallen to take off his mask and sunglasses.
"It's not ......"
"You just do it, and when they come and ask, you have to say that you're a foreign tourist, and whatever he asks, you just call Amriken, and you're a little more irritable, you know?"
"I'm good-tempered......"
"Just imagine that your daughter is in early love, and the other party is still a tattooed, smoking and drinking thug, and has a history in a labor camp, and is thinking about how to hook up with your daughter to go to a motel."
The green tendons on the back of Mugallen's hands skyrocketed.
He's already starting to get angry.
Richard, who was driving, hunched over and pulled down the brim of his hat to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible.
"It's really troublesome to check the road conditions on a rainy day."
"There's no way, I heard that the group of people is here again, so let's lock the vehicle as soon as possible."
A policeman shrank his hand, and the raindrops hit his skin, and it actually hurt a little.
He looked out into the road, and the visibility was terrible, gray and grey, with occasional flashes of light, and then thunder rolling, and the shrill sound of trumpets mixed with the sound of rain.
The car slowed down, and one followed the other, the red glow of the brake lights piercing the rain.
The policeman waved his baton and had just stopped the van when he saw a foreigner with a beard leaning out of the passenger seat, shouting something, his face was flushed, and the bruises on his forehead burst out, looking extremely angry, and shouting at Amy Ricken.
He was shocked on the spot, and subconsciously bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
The other policeman also bowed, but still looked up at Mugallen, whose beard was so conspicuous, that he shouted, "You're the hunter who came for the hunting season, right?" ”
Mugallen was stunned, and couldn't shout anything more about Emmericon, he was from Yanggran, and belonged to the Nordics......
It was actually recognized.
Mu Jiaren simply didn't pretend: "I'm here to inspect the environment of Taiji Town, but you actually dare to stop me, if I lose, you will be fully responsible!" ”
"No, no." The two policemen hurriedly explained that they had no such intention, and then looked at each other and tried to look into the car.
"Hey!" Mu Garun shouted, "Do you have anything to do, let me leave if you don't have anything!" ”
Although he often interacts with foreign tourists and his English is not bad, Mu Galen's tone is rushing and fast, and the rain is so loud that neither of them can hear what he is shouting.
It was determined that it was the hunter who came to participate in the black bear hunt, and the horn of the car behind them sounded again, and they were nervous in their hearts, for fear of annoying their friends, so they stopped asking, and quickly waved the fluorescent baton in their hands to let the group leave.
Richard kicked the accelerator, and everyone felt a strong feeling of pushing back, so you can imagine how nervous everyone was, and the business car quickly left the street in the heavy rain.
When the two policemen were completely out of sight, Mu Garun breathed a sigh of relief, it was really exciting, and when he looked back, he was frightened, only to see Bi Fang staring at himself.
"What do you see me doing?"
"Interested in being my Harvey?"
"Stand-in? What do you mean? ”
"Nothing, a meme."
Bi Fang pinched his eyebrows, just now it was just a sudden flash of inspiration, Batman has Harvey, and in times of crisis, he created a scene with both Batman and Bruce Wayne, can he also have one?
But thinking about it, the gap between the two images is too big, so I gave up this idea.
Evading the police, the group continued with the previous topic.
"Without dolphins, there would be no aquarium, and in order to maintain the chain of interests, Iki could only buy dolphins from Taiji Town."
Richard recalled everything he had seen and known.
"I asked the fishermen in Taiji if I could subsidize them for doing so. In other words, as long as you don't go out to sea to catch dolphins, we will give you the same amount of money as you get from killing dolphins, and let the OPS bear it. ”
Mugallen asked, "What is OPS?" ”
Bi Fang replied: "A marine conservation society, founded by Richard. ”
Richard nodded and continued: "As a result, the local fishermen said that it was not a matter of money, but to prevent and control the harmful fish. ”
Preventing pest fish?
What do you mean?
Everyone present was stunned, dolphins are pests?
Bi Fang also heard such a statement for the first time, he had only heard of pests, and had never heard of pests, strange and fresh.
"Yes." Richard confirmed that he was not wrong, "that is, the government told them that dolphins eat too much fish in the sea, and there will be no fish to catch, so they are harmful fish, like locusts that eat crops." ”
"This is not only true for fishermen, but also for the IWC delegate, Sukeji Morishita, at the conference."
Sukeji Morishita, a man who looks quite handsome, always wears a suit and leather shoes, and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he smiles when he sees everyone, talks politely, and is very elegant.
As an official, he is also very talented, after all, it is quite embarrassing for the World Whaling Association to participate in the IWC, but he can handle it with ease.
"His job is very difficult, and every day he gets up, he has to look in the mirror and convince himself, and then go out and explain to the world what he does about whaling."
Richard made a bad joke.
"Since 2003, 'scientific data' has been cited to blame dolphins and whales for the decline in international fisheries."
Mu Garun scolded: "What a shame! ”
Bi Fang is also very curious, and always feels that the reduction of fish resources is blamed on dolphins and whales, and this scene seems familiar.
Oh, isn't this a saury?
"It's really hateful, and we in Northern Europe never do that." Mugallen was indignant.
But after Mu Gallen said this, everyone present turned their eyes to him.
Mu Garun looked at everyone: "What for?" Am I not right? We also have a lot of whales there, didn't you encounter them last time Bifang drifted on the sea? But we never sell cetacean meat. ”
Bi Fang patted Mugallen on the shoulder: "Norway catches more cetaceans every year than Ben, in addition to Iceland, the three of them are called the 'Whaling Triumvirate', Norway is the boss, Ben is the second, and Iceland is the third." ”
Mugallen immediately changed his words: "I'm from Yanggran, and it has nothing to do with the two of them, I mean, strictly speaking, Yanggran actually belongs to Western Europe, yes, that's it." ”
Ben is notorious for its whaling activities, but it is by no means the only country to do so.
The two Nordic brothers, Norway and Iceland, also did this, together with him.
The world's number one "whale killer" is known as Norway rather than Ben.
In the matter of whaling, Norway is even more jaw-dropping.
Norway and Ben have a different way of doing things. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) has banned commercial whaling since 1982.
After that, he continued to take advantage of the loopholes in whaling, and continued to hunt whaling under the guise of "scientific research".
In contrast, the Norwegians seem to be more "upright", too lazy to exploit loopholes, too lazy to find excuses, adhering to the Viking style of acting, you say yours, I will arrest mine.
Norway kills more whales each year than Japan and Iceland combined, making it the world's number one whale killer.
The whaling fork they made can weigh up to 45 kilograms, can pierce the whale's belly at a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour, trigger the mechanism within milliseconds, quickly release 100 grams of explosives, and after the explosion, the whaling fork will open like an umbrella, and 4 hooks will wrap the whale meat.
This explosive can destroy the internal tissues of whales, and its lethality is far greater than that of black powder.
If the whale dies "too slowly", the whalers will shoot it with a gun.
Not only that, but Norwegian whalers prefer to follow their mothers – and most of them carry baby whales. According to the Norwegian whaling documentary, 90% of the whales caught were pregnant mothers.
Because female whales usually swim more slowly, they are more likely to be hit by grenades if they swim slowly.
If there is only one way for a whale to fall into the hands of himself, then being targeted by the Norwegians is like entering purgatory.
As for Iceland, compared to Ben and Norway, it's like a little brother who follows their butts.
These three places are the main areas where Richard is active.
Dolphins are cetaceans, whales, dolphins, these three giants are all caught, and where there are dolphins that are oppressed, there is the figure of this old man, even the ugly country itself is no exception.
In Icelandic supermarkets, the price of whale meat is generally 2,400 ISK a kilogram, which is about 150 Chinese yuan. Many tourists will try it with the mentality of curiosity.
But other than that, not many people like to eat cetacean meat, and most of the meat is exported to Yuben.
Speaking of which, it seems that Yuben has become the target of public criticism again, like an unlucky bastard, plus the suppression of sea power by the ugly country, and the propaganda of Yuben is even worse, so few people know anything about the other two giants.
Iceland and Norway are both very beautiful places, and the trip of geese and birds starts from the northernmost part of Norway, but many beautiful things are not necessarily beautiful in every aspect.
"The crimes in Norway and Iceland are more difficult to uncover than in Norway because they don't gather dolphins together, but instead go out to sea and scatter them."
In any case, when it comes to whaling, the triumvirate of Ben, Iceland and Norway is a nest of snakes and rats.
Richard said in a deep voice: "The claws that reach out to animals will eventually reach out to ourselves." ”
