Chapter 173: Fisheries (Part II)

e: Ask for tickets at the end of the month......

January 3, 26th year of the Republic (192 AD), Indian Ocean, the waters of the Andaman Islands.

Three giant ships with the military flag of "wheels running over blood everywhere" and the "local tyrant gold" livery are heading west at a cruising degree of 2 knots.

This is the Chinese representative fleet invited by Britain to participate in the coronation parade of King George V. The flagship was the battleship "Fuxi", and the other two were the large cruiser "Qinling" and the heavy cruiser "Qingcheng".

In the history of the original time and space, George V's coronation ceremony was held in June 1911, but George V's father Edward VII posted on this plane, but because of the new drug berberine produced in China, he lived for more than half a year, and it was not hung until October 1911. Therefore, the coronation ceremony of Qiao Wu's classmates was postponed to the end of October 192.

The first ship participating in this parade in the original time and space is the cruiser "Haiqi", but this warship in this plane is already outdated, and the representative sent by China is the latest and largest warship. Their mission this time is not only to participate in the coronation ceremony of Qiao Wu, but also to visit major countries in Europe and the Americas, which of course also means showing off their strength.

At this time, the two "Shuishen-1" and "Sea Duck" water reconnaissance planes that were reconnoitring in the front returned a piece of information.

"4o kilometers in front of our fleet, warships flying the flag of the Japanese Navy ... Preliminary identification was made of the Japanese Navy's armored cruisers Kurama and the protective cruisers Tone, as well as the Kawachi-class battleships...... Presumably, it was a fleet that went to Britain to participate in the parade. ”

"Isn't the Hanoi class still in official service?, why are you here?" Gao Yujie said suspiciously. Of course, he would not think that the reconnaissance plane was wrong, and the obvious six-turret characteristics of the Hanoi class would not be wrong as long as he was not stupid.

"Commander, I think it may be that they know that we are also going, so they are slapping the swollen face and filling the fat man, and pulling out the newly completed warship to support the scene," said Li Ang, assistant to ......the captain.

"Then leave them alone, I'll go back and rest for a while, you continue to stare at ......" Gao Yujie waved her hand and went back to the captain's room.

It didn't take long for the water reconnaissance plane to return a report: "...... About 6 kilometers to the left of the Japanese fleet, a whaling fleet of our country is currently operating...... A whaling mother ship, the board number Yue Zhanyu 21, and a whaling boat dinghy... ̈"

"What? Our whaling ship is coming here in the Indian Ocean? These fishermen are too good to run......" Leon couldn't help but freeze. This is also what Li Ang did not know, in the later generations of the original time and space, it is not uncommon for Chinese fishing boats to run to the Andaman Sea and to run to South America and the Atlantic.

The intelligence officer took out a large copy of the "Yearbook of Chinese Fishing Vessels" and flipped through it, and said: "Yuezhan Yu 21I This is the whaling mother ship of the Zhanjiang Fishery Joint Stock Company. With a standard displacement of 156o tons and a payload of 95uu tons, the manufacturer, Guangdong Lianyi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., was completed in October last year and registered in Zhanjiang City in July.

"Comrade Li Ang, this mother ship is still a product of your shipyard......" the intelligence officer said with a smile.

"It's not my family, the friendship is a joint-stock system, a joint-stock system...... I only have a share, and I don't care about it, I just ......pay dividends," Li Ang quickly corrected.

Another officer also said: "Lianyi is now the second largest shipyard after the four major state-owned shipyards, and has built more than a dozen liberation ships and oil tankers. I've heard that some gunboats and torpedo boats are also here......"

"The main project of Lianyi is still civilian ships, and there are very few warships," Li Ang said.

"Damn, it's the water plane of the Shina people" Shimamura Yu on the battleship Hanoi looked at the "Sea Duck" water reconnaissance plane hovering over his head in amazement, and put down the binoculars for a while.

"Your Excellency, since there is a seaplane, there must be a large warship in China nearby...... "A staff officer said.

"Hmph, of course I do. Shimamura said angrily: "Are those who are engaged in airplanes in China all waste? After so long, they can't even get a decent water plane."

The captain of the Hanoi, Tetsuzo Toyama, said: "Your Excellency, I heard that they are stuck in the motive, and they can't create the right motive. The people of China are already ahead of other countries in aviation motive technology, and now the aviation motives of the Omi powers are also purchased from China. Originally, we could have bought China, but it was vetoed. ”

"I think those guys are too loose...... "Shimamura said disapprovingly.

At this time, suddenly a message came from the watchtower: "3 kilometers ahead, there is a fleet of ships of more than 10,000 tons, which seems to be a merchant ship......"

"Well, a lot of 10,000-ton merchant ships have been launched in Shina lately, and their exhibition is going too fast...... "Shimamura said worriedly.

After more than half an hour, the Japanese fleet finally saw clearly that this so-called "merchant fleet" was not a "merchant fleet" at all.

"What? Such a big whaling ship? Are the people of China crazy?"

The officers and men of the Japanese fleet looked at the "Yuezhanyu No. 211" that was operating in front of them in amazement, and they all felt that they were dreaming. There is no way, this "fishing boat" is bigger than their Kurama, and this kind of thing is completely out of their common sense.

If they hadn't seen the "Yue Zhan Yu 211" dragging a humpback whale up the slope of the back deck to the boat, and a large whale was also being dismantled on the deck, they would never have believed that it was a fishing boat. Well, it's a whaling ship, but even if it's a whaling ship, isn't it a bit too exaggerated.

"The people of China are all losers, such a big boat, they actually use it as a fishing boat," the Japanese were so jealous that their eyes were red. Japan has been hunting whales since the 17th century, but they all operate along the coast and catch very small cetaceans. Even now, there are no decent ocean-going whaling ships. In the original time and space, Japan's whaling industry did not slowly develop until the third century.

If Mr. Wen knew about their comments, he would definitely scoff at them. A 10,000-ton fishing boat is a fart, there are 70,000 or 80,000 tons, which is really rare and strange.

In fact, these Japanese also misunderstood, "Yuezhanyu 211" is a whaling mother ship, which is responsible for monitoring the sea situation, decomposing and storing fish bodies, and preliminary processing of captured whales, but it is not responsible for whaling. The other three 6o-ton whaling ships were actually engaged in whaling.

Yue Zhanyu No. 211.

"Captain, the Japanese fleet is now ......," the lookout reported. This young man is a little nervous, although China and Japan have not yet turned their faces, but the relationship between the two countries is definitely not good, and it is not even as good as the French who just fought.

Although Yue Zhanyu 211 is also equipped with weapons, it is only used to deal with pirates, and the largest is an O mm cannon, and if it is an opponent of the navy, even the smallest gunboat cannot deal with it. So when he saw the Japanese fleet, he inevitably had some drumming in his heart.

"Well, we're not on the fairway, don't worry about them......" said the captain calmly, puffing on a smoke ring. The captain was not panicked at all, he still knew the Japanese Navy well, although there were more Japanese in the second rank, but the Navy was relatively much better, at least not as crazy as the 6th Army horse manure. At present, the Japanese navy still has one more point of discipline, as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke them, at least they will not dare to brazenly attack civilian ships.

Of course, that's what I said, but the captain was still a little nervous. It would be a lie to say that several civilian ships were not nervous in the face of two dreadnoughts and two cruisers of a hostile country.

But then the lookout reported: "...... In the skies over the Japanese fleet, it seems that there are seaplanes from our country......"

When the captain looked up, he saw a seaplane coming towards him. He hurriedly raised the binoculars, and when he saw the emblem of "Red Round Bottom White Gear White Five Stars" on the fuselage, he was completely relieved. If you see a seaplane here, it means that our warship is also nearby, and you are still afraid of it

Sure enough, after a while, the seaplane was talking to the whaling fleet on the Guò radio.

"We are the second whaling team of Zhanjiang Fishery Co., Ltd.......," the captain said quickly.

"Are you in any trouble and need our help?" the pilot asked.

"Not yet, thank you very much ......"

"That's good. This is not our waters, you must pay attention to safety......" The pilot turned around and left.

Among the primary sectors, fisheries are the most prone to intensification. Moreover, because the initial investment in modern fishery is large, new fishing boats and fishing gear are relatively expensive, and the investment in agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and aquaculture is not at the same level at all. Therefore, most of the fishery joint-stock companies in various localities are set up on the basis of townships, counties, and even cities, rather than in agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, and aquaculture, which are handled on a village-by-village basis.

In particular, the distant-water fishery has a huge investment, which is basically a public-private joint venture with the majority of government shares. Zhanjiang Fishery Co., Ltd. is this model, the former fishermen converted the original fishing boats, tools and other means of production into cash and then invested in shares, this part is actually not much, because those things are not worth a few dollars, and the ingredients taken care of here are stronger. Fishermen are still mainly in the form of workers, and their income from wages and bonuses is the mainstay.

The distribution model under the auspices of the CSOC government was very scientific and skewed towards the common people, so that their incomes were at least seven or eight times higher than before, and they did not have the exorbitant taxes of the past. The fishing tyrants and gangsters who used to oppress them have all gone in, and they have either been hung with branches or sent to labor reform, and even the daily extortion is gone. This is a day that I couldn't have imagined before.

As early as the period of the Southwest Autonomous Government, the Socialist Party began to vigorously develop deep-sea fishing and coastal aquaculture along the coast, and after the founding of New China, it was even more popularized in the coastal areas of the whole country.

This policy has multiple considerations, one is to solve the problem of fishermen's employment, and the other is to improve the food supply of the people and increase the proportion of animal protein. The third is to train more sailors, fishermen with experience in the ocean can save a lot of time in the future, whether they change jobs to become sailors in merchant ships or join the army.

The last point is to compete with foreign countries for fishery resources. During this period, most countries did not have a very good fishing industry, with fewer fishing vessels and even fewer capable of distant-water operations. Therefore, the deep-sea fishery resources in this era are very rich, and it would be too sorry for yourself not to take advantage of this gap period and take advantage of it

Whaling, in particular, is a lucrative thing, a whale can produce a few tons of meat at least, and dozens of tons at most. Moreover, according to Mr. Wen's requirements, China's whaling is different from that of the West, it is all required, and the whale meat, whale oil, whale brain oil, whale baleen, skin, bones, blood, and internal organs after a whale is decomposed are all required, and there will be no waste at all, so Mr. Wen will let things like whaling mother ships appear decades in advance.

As for protecting marine life, I'm sorry, but Mr. Wen is not the kind of extreme environmentalist who values animals more than people. Now the Chinese people are not doing well, there is very little meat, and when the future life is better, it is not too late to consider protecting animals.

As for the idea that it is better to let others go hungry than to protect animals first, or even to starve people to death to save animals. Mr. Wen said that this kind of person is too full and too good to survive the problem, and he can be cured by throwing him in the pit for a few years or starving for a few days. However, in this era, there are still very few small freshness of this kind of brain pumping, and the vast majority of the public supports the large-scale promotion of ocean fishing and whaling by Mr. Wen.
