A resolute glint flashed in Tang Yue's eyes. "After this final attempt to persuade them to return fails, we will prepare to use non-lethal weapons to expel them."
Sun Jinan nodded and immediately gave the order. But non-lethal weapons? What are those? Do they have any on board?
Before Sun Jinan could even ask a question, the loudspeaker had already started broadcasting the message.
"This is Chinese waters. You have approached the border. Please return to port immediately! Otherwise, we will take necessary measures!" The loudspeaker sounded again, this time with a hint of warning.
The fishing boats opposite seemed to finally realize the seriousness of the situation; they slowed down slightly, but still showed no sign of stopping. They seemed hesitant, wondering whether to continue the risk.
"Company Commander, they've slowed down, but they haven't stopped." Sun Jinan's voice carried a hint of tension and excitement. If they could get those three ships back, the battalion commander should be able to offset their crimes, right?

"Company Commander, do you think those ships are carrying the stolen treasures?"
"Yes," Tang Yue agreed.
Sun Jinan swallowed hard. "Um, Company Commander, fishing boats aren't as sturdy as warships. They might sink with a single shot. And then, those treasures..."
Tang Yue...
How could she have overlooked this? It seems she was being too presumptuous. She always compared these things to magical artifacts. I really want to give myself a good slap.
So what should we do now?
