Chapter Twenty-Seven: Get Someone to Help
Iceland, Coast Guard Headquarters.
As the domestic organization responsible for both international coastal rescue missions and part of Iceland's national defense, the Icelandic Coast Guard is usually quite solemn.
But today, the entire Coast Guard headquarters is in shambles.
Icelandic President Andersenstrech almost squeezed the words out of his throat, "Mr. Brigadier General, please tell me that you and your guards can defeat that giant basilisk." β
Anderson Stragg was in a meeting when his Vice President, Mr. Jacob, broke in and told him that a giant basilisk had appeared in the North Sea fishing grounds.
Anderson Stredge's first reaction when he heard the basilisk was to look at the date to see if it was April Fool's Day on April 1, and his second reaction was that his vice president, Mr. Jacob, had a multitude of humor, so that he learned to joke even though he usually didn't smile.
But when Jacob put all kinds of evidence on the table, he felt that it was not his vice president Jacob's humor that had proliferated, but that he himself had been cursed by the three goddesses Nolan.
Is there really a sea monster in this world?
And this sea monster is still in the North Sea fishing grounds?
Now no one dares to go to sea?
Odin is on top, can you not play me like this?
The backbone of Iceland's industry is fishing, and the backbone of Iceland's fishing industry is the North Sea fisheries.
They harvest 1.17 million tonnes of fish from their North Sea fisheries every year, and their income accounts for 60 percent of their gross national product.
During the Blue Star financial tsunami, the reason why Icelanders were able to maintain a high quality of life after financial bankruptcy was not like the bankrupt people in the United States who were taken away by the bank and forced to sleep on the street on the overpass relied on the huge fishery resources of the North Sea fishing grounds.
If the North Sea fishing grounds were to be destroyed, the consequences would be ten times more terrible than a financial tsunami.
So he immediately rushed to the Coast Guard headquarters with dignitaries from various departments to discuss the killing of the basilisk.
Brigadier General David Arthur of the Coast Guard thought that the information said that the basilisk was only a few hundred meters high, and his face turned bad, "Mr. President, I think we should ask for help." β
It's not that the enemy has a Gundam.
It's because we're really not doing it.
The Icelandic Coast Guard has three ocean-going patrol vessels, one hydrographic survey vessel, one of which has been converted into a rescue vessel after being decommissioned.
The only weapons that can be called heavy weapons on these two ocean-going patrol ships are the Bufors L60MK3 rapid-fire guns.
Relying on rapid-fire cannons to fight the basilisk, DavidArthur felt that it would be more reliable to jump directly into the belly of the basilisk, and then find a way to find the basilisk in the heart and stab it.
Anderson Strachge's face twitched, although I know that the military budget is less in peacetime, and you can't even afford to buy missiles, but can you not be so straightforward.
How embarrassing it would be to get this out.
"Who is the best person to turn to?" asked Anderson Strach.
Losing face or losing the North Sea fishing grounds, he would rather lose face.
DavidArthur's first reaction was to ask for help from Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, which are also the five Nordic countries with Iceland, but after thinking about it carefully, he still said: "Ask for help from the woolly bear country, this basilisk is too huge, I estimate that it is difficult for ordinary light weapons to cause any damage to it, and the effect of some heavy weapons will not be ideal, to completely kill this troll, you have to rely on missiles or even nuclear weapons." β
Andersonstredge hesitated, the relationship between Iceland and the woolly bear country is not very good, and last year they were still boycotting each other, but this year they ran to ask for help......
It's not that he can't wipe his face, he is afraid that the other party will make a lot of harsh demands after asking for help, just like the last financial tsunami.
At this time, Jacob, who had not spoken since he came in, coughed lightly and said, "Maybe we can ask Dongying for help." β
Dongying?
Everyone present looked at each other, and the military power of that country seemed to be about as weak as their Iceland.
"Although Dongying is weak, they have the protection of the gods, half a month ago there was an incident codenamed 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walking' in their Pingcheng Jingdong, and even the entire city was almost destroyed, but in the end they summoned the main god of the Heavenly Palace that they believed in to solve this matter, I think we can let them summon their gods to solve this huge sea monster. β
Let them summon their gods?
The minds of those present moved.
What happened in Pingcheng Jingdong may be a joke to ordinary people, it is fake news made up by a group of media, the pictures are all ps, and the videos are edited, but they naturally have reliable channels to get accurate information.
It's hard to believe, it's hard to believe, but it's true.
The people of Dongying did summon the gods and solved the extraordinary events that happened in the Jingdong of Pingcheng.
After that incident, I don't know how many countries began to conduct covert investigations to investigate whether there was a hidden supernatural power in their own countries.
They did something like this in Iceland, but after checking it out, they finally found out.
Of the 300,000 people in Iceland, not a single one looks like a transcendent being.
"I think this is a good way, compared to the greedy Hairy Bear Country, Dongying's appetite is much smaller, but we can't be desperate, we should be prepared with both hands, contact Dongying and Maoxiong Country at the same time, whoever of them can help us solve this sea monster, we will find whomever we want. β
After someone spoke, the conference room immediately became lively, and everyone began to discuss it word by word.
"Actually, we can spread the news, this unbelievably big basilisk, I think there should be a lot of countries interested, and then we will not only be able to kill this basilisk without paying a price, but maybe we can also benefit from it. β
"Rodney is right, I also think this way, recently there has been a great increase in the interest of countries in the myths and legends of the supernatural powers, we can publicize this basilisk as the legendary earthly giant python Yarmungad, I believe it will arouse the interest of those who want to be transcendent but cannot. β
"JΓΆrmungandr? The one in myths and legends that can circle around the blue star? This shouldn't be it, this basilisk is big, but not big enough to circle the blue star. β
"Let's just say it's suspicious, it doesn't matter what the truth is, and the ancient people's understanding of the world is extremely superficial, in the eyes of many people who have never been out of the island, the world is as big as an island, and it is possible for them to call this huge basilisk a giant python around the world after seeing it. β
Just when everyone's discussion was in full swing, a voice suddenly interjected.
"When did we, the Norse, turn to other races for help when we were in trouble?"
