Just when the captain and the sailors of the whaling ship were looking at the rapidly approaching blue whale, their faces filled with fear and despair, the blue whale suddenly dove downwards, its body brushing against the bottom of their lifeboat. They could even hear the sound of the blue whale's back rubbing against the bottom of the lifeboat!
It took a while to swim across the 30 meter distance, the long rubbing sound lingered in their ears, it was a huge torture for them!
The entire lifeboat was silent, the air was filled with the smell of urine, but no one said anything.
It wasn't until the sound of friction disappeared that the people on the ship breathed a sigh of relief. But when he remembered that the whale was underwater and could attack them at any time, the captain immediately shouted to the anti-whaling ship next to him in panic.
"Quickly save us! This monster is going to eat us! "
The people on the anti-whaling ship looked at each other, and finally all looked at a middle-aged man with white hair and beard, who was also the founder of Sea Shepherd, Paul Watson. He was the one who gave the order to throw lifebuoys to the whalers who fell into the water.
Under the gaze of the people of Sea Shepherd, Paul Watson looked at the blue whale slowly swimming under the sea, and flatly refused with a sullen face.
"That's a blue whale, it doesn't eat people! You are already safe, you don't need our rescue! "
Throwing lifebuoys to them was already the greatest humanitarian help. Under the situation that they were already on the lifeboat and wouldn't drown, Paul Watson wouldn't provide any more help to them, let alone allow them to board the ship.
As for the reason, it wasn't just because of the conflict between the two sides, but also because of a verdict a few years ago.
A New Zealand anti-whaling protest ship captain illegally boarded a whaling ship of the State of Sun to stop them, and was subdued by the sailors on the ship and detained back to the State of Sun. In the end, he was sentenced to 2 years in prison by the State of Sun court, with 5 years suspended.
This was also under the circumstance that Sea Shepherd spent 44 million yen to hire a legal team to get a lighter sentence, otherwise, the captain would have faced a maximum of 15 years in prison.
With this precedent, Sea Shepherd would naturally be extremely defensive and resistant to them, it was simply impossible to let them board the ship, let alone send them back to their country.
Paul Watson understood these whalers, they were all people who only cared about profit. He was very clear that if they rescued the people on the whaling ship, they would most likely seize control of the ship when they weren't paying attention, and bring them all back to the State of Sun to be arrested.
This could be seen from the consistent performance of the State of Sun throughout history.
When they were weak, they would be very obedient, and seek help from the strong, and once they found an opportunity, they would not hesitate to turn around and attack those who helped them. Paul Watson didn't want to be the farmer who was bitten by a snake!
"Damn it, didn't you see that he overturned our boat? Hurry up and get us out, or it will knock over the lifeboat! "
Cried the captain of the whaleboat, somewhat exasperated.
Paul Watson shook his head with a cold expression and said in a cold voice.
"If that's the case, I'll give you our lifeboat, and then help you call for help from the State of Sun Navy! I know they're not far away! As for boarding our ship, you don't have the qualifications! "
They had been fighting each other for more than a decade, and their grudges were deep, so they understood each other very well. Seeing that Paul Watson firmly refused to let them board the ship, the captain of the whaling ship didn't continue to waste his breath. As an excellent captain of the State of Sun, he wouldn't beg for mercy from the enemy!
In fact, he also knew that even if he begged, it would be useless.
These people from the Sea Shepherd Association, although they won't watch them drown, but that's it.
The captain of the whaling ship had no choice but to give up the idea of boarding the anti-whaling ship. With a gloomy face, he shouted to the people behind the lifeboat.
"There's a radio behind the lifeboat, hurry up and give it to me!"
At this time, the lifeboat's cabin was filled with people, and it was very difficult to move, so he could only ask someone to pass him the radio.
The sailor behind quickly found the radio from the emergency kit and passed it to the captain.
After taking the radio, he quickly connected to the channel of the escort warship and anxiously asked for help.
"P298 Frigate! I'm the captain of the whaling ship Yongxin Maru! We were attacked by a blue whale, and the whaling ship was overturned. The blue whale is now circling around us, and the lifeboat could be destroyed at any time! Hurry up and save us! "
The warship sent by the military to escort the whaling ship received the call for help from the captain of the whaling ship, and the people in the warship's command room couldn't help but look at each other.
"What did that guy just say?"
The captain of the escort warship looked at his deputy with a puzzled expression.
He was originally very dissatisfied with being sent by the higher-ups to escort a whaling ship. He knew very well that this was an exchange of benefits between the higher-ups.
However, he couldn't get any benefits, so he naturally didn't care. After arriving at this area, he didn't follow the whaling ship closely. In his opinion, there was no danger in whaling, and as for the anti-whaling environmentalists, they couldn't cause much of an impact at all.
Therefore, when he learned that an anti-whaling ship was obstructing their whaling, he was not in a hurry. He just ordered the warship to head towards their location and let them fight for a while. He just wanted to watch the show first. At the critical moment, he would appear and drive them away.
Although the deputy was also puzzled, he still repeated what he had just heard.
"He said that the whaling ship was overturned by a blue whale, and now it's about to attack their lifeboat."
The captain of the escort warship couldn't help but look disgusted when he heard that.
"Is that guy crazy? Even my son knows that blue whales are very docile animals, and they won't attack humans at all. Did he go crazy from killing too many whales, or did he watch too many horror movies?! "
The first mate nodded in agreement and asked the captain, "What's the matter?"
"What about us? … "
Although the captain was very impatient, he couldn't completely ignore the whaling ship because of the orders from the higher-ups, so he said impatiently.
"Speed up, let's go over and see what the hell they're up to."
On the other side, on the lifeboat, the captain of the whaling ship couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the escort warship was on its way. As long as the warship arrived, whether it was the bastards on the anti-whaling ship or the damned whale in the sea, none of them would have a good ending!
He must have the escort warship kill the whale to vent the hatred in his heart!
