Wang Desheng raised his flashlight, his eyes almost squinting into slits.
The words on the fish's belly were only the size of a bean, and it was late at night; he really couldn't see them unless he squinted.
Even now that he has seen these words clearly, Wang Desheng still finds it hard to believe.
"What is this? Sonar?!"
"Damn it, this is sonar!"
Wang Desheng immediately perked up. He had only been there a short time and hadn't expected to see such an exquisitely designed sonar so soon.
Zhao Gang, who was standing to the side, burst into laughter.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, I've finally figured it out! You're practically the nemesis of enemy agents!"
"This sonar is most likely from the United States again, haha, they definitely didn't expect that we would intercept it before it was even put into the water!"
Xu An was also very curious and eagerly grabbed a fake fish to examine it repeatedly.
He kept sighing.
"Tsk tsk, my goodness, we've really learned something new today."
You know what, this fish looks even better than the toys in state-run stores! If you didn't know anything about fish, you'd never guess it was a spy fish!
Xu An had long heard that fishermen had retrieved torpedoes and sonar devices dropped by enemy agents in this area, but he never expected to have the opportunity to experience it firsthand today.
As he was speaking, Xu An casually picked at the gills of the fish in his hand, and this action led him to discover something new.
There are three shallow marks under the fish's gills, which are easily recognizable as three letters. When put together, they form the abbreviation for "Beautiful Country"!
This confirms that it was indeed the work of the United States!
To be honest, Fu Wan still admired those people from the United States.
It took a lot of effort to gather information about our territorial waters. Last year, the torpedoes and sonar were still very crudely made. Some were as long as a handcart, and without a net-lifting machine, they couldn't be pulled up at all.
In less than a year, they have already developed such a lifelike fish-shaped sonar!
It seems that after those sonar and torpedoes were salvaged last year, the US intelligence agencies were reflecting on their actions, which is why they improved the manufacturing process of sonar.
The reason why it was written that the sonar had no copper and was useless to retrieve is because there are other fishermen in China besides Fu Wan who have retrieved sonar in the area where Fu Wan is located.
However, some fishermen believe that it was scrap metal that someone threw into the water, and it was eventually sent to a scrap metal recycling station.
This matter had made the newspapers a while ago. Wang Desheng had heard about it before he was transferred here, but he didn't expect the United States to take countermeasures so quickly.
However, they underestimated the Chinese. Even if they hadn't stopped Matsui Eiji from releasing these enemy fish into the sea today, if any fishermen had caught them in the future, they would have handed them over to the fisheries administration.
Since last year, Zhao Gang has been working with fishery administration bureaus in various regions to promote awareness of enemy sonar in every fishing village and to ensure maritime security.
Not only did the fishermen know that enemy agents were dropping iron lumps into the sea, but a reward was also set up. Now, many fishermen are looking forward to going out to sea to catch these enemy-supplied fish and exchange them for the reward!
Although the reward is only twenty or thirty yuan, in addition to the reward, there is also the opportunity to be featured in the newspaper, and the village will also give an award. Many people want such an honor.
Zhao Gang and his group held the fish-shaped sonar for quite a while, admiring it. To them, the value of these enemy special fish was higher than all the fish in the live water tank combined.
"Wow, I didn't even realize how late it is while I was busy! Let's hurry up and pack up so we can take Comrade Xiao Fu home first!"
Wang Desheng stood up, carrying the enemy's fish, and was suddenly surprised to find that the sky in the distance was already turning a pale white.
Time flies so fast; a night has almost passed in the blink of an eye.
Fu Wan also looked up at the gradually brightening sea surface. A sea breeze blew by, making her feel very comfortable.
Strangely enough, after fighting alongside these comrades all night, she didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, she felt quite excited.
All things considered, the night's harvest was quite substantial: two smuggling ships were intercepted, the cultural relics on board were preserved, sperm whales and marine iguanas were rescued, and... five fish-shaped sonars were caught.
Wow, Fu Wan couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up. She was really amazing!
Of course, he didn't say these words out loud, and Wang Desheng and the others hurried back.
Xu Ande needs to go back and find out where those Buddha heads were lost, and Wang Desheng and Zhao Gang also need to go back and deal with these fish-shaped sonars.
Matsui Hidene is clearly from an island nation, yet his ship has a fish-shaped sonar from the United States; this matter needs to be carefully investigated.
Of course, there must be a criminal gang behind the loss of the Buddha head. How did Xu Laobie get the Buddha head, how did he contact Matsui Hidekane, and how many similar smuggling gangs are there in Longhai City? These are all questions that need to be asked when we get back.
Although the project seemed massive, Wang Desheng, Zhao Gang, Xu An, and the others showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, they were all in high spirits.
What a joke! These are all easily obtained military medals, something others can only envy. As long as they do this well, who knows how much they'll be rewarded by their superiors!
Wang Desheng and Xu An carefully examined the fish they had retrieved from the live water tank and, after confirming that there were indeed only five fish-shaped sonars, they stopped and stood up.
Wang Desheng glanced at the sea fish in the fish basket, thought for a moment, and then whispered something to Xu An and Zhao Gang.
Fu Wan assumed they were discussing important matters and didn't listen carefully. Instead, she raised her hand to glance at her watch.
It's almost five o'clock; the sun should be rising soon.
"Comrade Xiao Fu!"
Fu Wan was thinking that she should go back and get a good night's sleep when she heard Zhao Gang's shouts from behind.
Seeing Fu Wan turn around, Zhao Gang pointed to the large bucket on the ground with a smile.
"Thank you for helping us all night. We just discussed it, and there aren't many fish left. You can take them back and eat them or sell them, it's up to you!"
"Oh, you're giving them all to me?"
Fu Wan was surprised. Although there weren't many fish in the bucket, only about twenty or thirty, they were all expensive and delicious sea fish. Why didn't Zhao Gang and the others take them back to the camp? Instead, they let her take them with her.
Seeing Fu Wan's confused expression, Wang Desheng smiled and took over the conversation.
"Yes, Comrade Xiao Fu, take them all back!"
I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I know these fish are priced quite well, but we all eat in the canteen. There are so many people in the camp, and if we take them back, each person won't get a piece of fish.
Comrade Xiao Fu, you stayed up all night with us today, so your reward from above certainly won't come down so quickly.
Consider these fish as payment from the camp. If you go back empty-handed, Commander Sun will definitely scold me when he returns!
Wang Desheng's decision was made after careful consideration. They had just checked with their comrades and found that the remaining twenty-three fish were all genuine fish, and the two large bags of scallops in the fish hold were also genuine scallops.
