Yan Fengzi was very tempted by this proposal, but he did not express his opinion immediately. This was not something he could decide on his own. Like Captain Zhou, this matter had to be reported.
"Okay, I will report your proposal to the military commander after the mission is completed. As for the results, we will discuss it later."
Just as the two finished their conversation, a sudden noise came from the other end of the deck.
Song Yun and Yan Feng ran over quickly and found that the exclamations were made by the Sichuan soldiers who had never been out to sea when they saw the big fish in the sea.
"This fish must weigh over a hundred pounds, right?"
"If we catch this fish and make smoked fish, how much will it take?"
"Is the meat of this fish delicious? The sea water is salty, so will the fish meat be salty too?"
Song Yun smiled and shook her head, then walked to the other side to enjoy the sea breeze.
After a while of excitement on the boat, everyone found a place to rest. They had tasks to complete in the evening, so they had to get enough rest.
The sea was smooth today and we were scheduled to arrive at our destination at nine o'clock. When we were only two hours away from our destination, Captain Zhou received an urgent telegram and immediately changed our route and destination temporarily.
At 11:40, two three-masted ships stopped near a huge island, and the people on the ships boarded the island in small boats.
Song Yun looked at the three-masted ship in the distance and thought that it would not be long before domestic warships would completely replace this kind of large ship. By then, the sailing speed, safety, and deterrence against criminals would be greatly improved.
I don't know whether the naval combat team will use warships to intercept smugglers this time.
Captain Zhou led the way and led them to the temporary camp.
Leading the group were Captains Zhou and Yan Feng. They were talking in low voices. Captain Zhou said, "Our plan has changed. According to intelligence, a merchant ship from Country Y that left Hong Kong has been temporarily diverted and will pass by our island in two days. There's an astonishing amount of illegally smuggled Chinese goods on board that merchant ship."
Our naval combat team will be deployed at sea in advance. Once the Country Y merchant ship enters the designated waters, our naval combat team will intercept and inspect it. Regardless of whether they cooperate or not, they will not be allowed to leave this area. No matter what kind of conflict occurs, it will most likely end in a landing on the island. All you need to do is deploy your forces in advance and act accordingly."
Yan Feng's face was serious, and he nodded solemnly, "Okay, tomorrow I will lead the team to survey the island's terrain, make plans, and deploy in advance."
Team leader Zhou said, "In addition to protecting against poisonous insects and ants, forest workers on islands must also be prepared for sudden severe weather. Don't underestimate the calm weather; storms can strike at any time, sometimes even typhoons of Category 12 or above. All of this requires advance plans."
Yan Feng had never experienced a typhoon above level 12, so he had no idea how to prepare such a plan. He simply asked, "How do we prepare for a typhoon above level 12? We have absolutely no experience in this area."
"The main thing is to prepare a campsite that can be sheltered from hurricanes and heavy rains in advance to ensure the soldiers' safety and to provide them with food and water for at least two days," said Captain Zhou.
Yan Feng frowned upon hearing this, "Why didn't you tell us when we boarded the ship? Now we don't have anything with us, how are we going to get two days' worth of food and water?"
Captain Zhou was also helpless. "This happened suddenly. The things we prepared for you are all on another island. A boat will deliver them tomorrow. At least we can solve the problem of drinking water. As for the typhoon shelter, we have prepared it on another island. Now the plan has changed at the last minute, so you are on your own. I will contact the regiment headquarters and try to send as many supplies as possible to the island."
Having said that, what else can Yan Feng say?
Captain Zhou took Yan Feng and the others to an open space where they had camped during their previous training on the island. It was just an empty space with nothing on it.
