Bai Yu and his group departed from Sanya. If they sailed from Sanya to Hawaii at a normal speed, it would take about ten days to reach Hawaii.
This time, Bai Yu and his group had sixteen days, which was quite a lot of time overall.
So the captain and his crew decided to take a detour, sailing along the Spratly Islands towards Hawaii while fishing.
This method is similar to what? It's like an ancient lord going out to inspect his territory.
Bai Yu and his group took a detour to patrol our own territorial waters and see if any petty thieves will come to the South China Sea to cause trouble after the New Year.
After all, although the overall environment in the South China Sea was relatively stable in 2022, frictions continued in some areas.
The atmosphere between the fishermen, especially, was extremely tense, with both sides practically wanting to ram their boats together.
In particular, both sides had some crew-cut fishermen, each with a terrible temper, easily provoked, and completely unable to tolerate the other's existence.
The previous year, Bai Yu's company had encountered Monkey's fishing boats many times, and the two sides had a very unpleasant experience.
This time, the uncle's boat had been modified, and they planned to try their luck in the Spratly Islands, fishing and hoping to encounter monkeys' fishing boats along the way.
"Uncle, will we encounter any of the monkeys' ships on this voyage? If we don't, then all our modifications will have been for nothing!"
After sailing for a day and a night, the fishing boat Yuxue arrived near the Nansha Islands. Bai Hao went to the captain's cabin and chatted with his uncle.
The reason Bai Yu wanted to take a boat to Hawaii this time was not only because he had never done it before and wanted to experience it, and also because he wanted to go out to sea to fish along the way, but more importantly, he wanted to teach the monkeys' fishing boat a lesson.
After all, Bai Yu's company's fishing boats mainly operate in the South China Sea, and when operating in the South China Sea, it is inevitable that they will encounter monkey boats.
And it's not just Filipino boats, there are also Vietnamese boats, and occasionally you can see Lao and Indonesian boats as well.
However, compared to the first two monkeys' fishing boats, the fishermen from the latter two households were slightly better to us. Although they would also fish outside the designated area, they would leave as long as we went over to drive them away.
But those two monkeys are different. Don't be fooled by their relatively weak strength and less developed shipping industry.
To us, their fishing boats looked like old, broken-down relics.
However, these things have absolutely no self-awareness. They clearly have no strength, yet they always jump around in front of us, which is incredibly annoying.
Before the Lunar New Year, my uncle and his crew encountered several Philippine fishing boats. Taking advantage of their small size and agile maneuvering, those boats kept harassing my uncle's fishing boat, Yuxue.
Faced with the provocation of the other party's fishing boats, my uncle really didn't have a good way to deal with them. Even when he got so annoyed that he was ready to ram them with his boat, my uncle still couldn't stand it anymore.
However, every time they were about to collide, the other ship would veer off course and avoid them. Even though the Yuxue was faster than the other ship, Uncle and his crew could never hit it.
That's why, when my uncle returned to Hong Kong at the end of last year to perform routine maintenance on the ship, he told the shipyard staff to modify the Yuxue ship.
Of course, the modification of the Yuxue fishing boat was reported to the authorities, and it wasn't just this one fishing boat that was modified, but all of their company's boats were modified.
First of all, the bow of the ship is different from before. My uncle asked the shipyard to add a ramming plate to the bow. This ramming plate has two functions: one is to ram the ship, and the other is to prevent collisions.
According to shipyard staff, the ramming plate they installed on the Yuxue is so powerful that it could be used for ramming other ships, or even for breaking ice in the Arctic or Antarctic.
In addition to the ramming plate, their fishing boats are also equipped with a means of attack: high-pressure water cannons.
As is well known, our country has very strict control over firearms. This applies not only to firearms but also to cold weapons.
Therefore, Bai Yu and his crew could forget about equipping themselves with other weapons; they could only install two high-pressure water guns on the fishing boat, one automatic and one manually aimed.
You've all seen this high-pressure water gun before; it's the kind of water gun that our coast guard ships are equipped with, and it's really powerful when it sprays people.
However, the high-pressure water guns that Bai Yu and his crew used were slightly inferior to those used by the coast guard. The coast guard's high-pressure water guns had a range of up to 100 meters, while the two on their ship had a range of 75 meters and 50 meters respectively, and the water spray volume was also slightly different.
In addition to these two items, my uncle and his comrades also installed a cutting knife at the stern of the fishing boat, specifically for cutting the monkeys' fishing nets.
This time, it wasn't just Bai Yu and his fishing boat that went out to sea. Everyone from their company, whether it was Uncle Wang's side or the later captains, was eager to have some fun with the monkeys.
What? You're saying Bai Yu and the others are stirring up trouble?
Please, you need to understand one thing, okay? Bai Yu and his crew are operating in the South China Sea. This is the South China Sea, our territory!
Any foreign fishing vessels that appear here are violating international maritime conventions by fishing outside their designated areas. They've broken the law, you understand?
You need to know that our territorial waters are only open to our own fishing boats; vessels from other countries are not allowed to come and fish.
If they hadn't come to the South China Sea, Bai Yu and his crew would naturally not have encountered each other. And if they hadn't encountered each other, what use would all the equipment they had on their ship have been?
So even if Bai Yu and his group do encounter Fei Houzi's fishing boat later, they really won't show any mercy and will treat them however they need to be.
After all, they're in the right, so why should they give in to the other party?
......
Moreover, after Bai Yu communicated with his uncle, he learned that although they were a fishing boat that set off alone, his uncle and Uncle Wang were in contact with each other.
Their company's boats are all patrolling the Spratly Islands, looking for any boats illegally fishing. If they find one, all of their boats will come over and teach it a lesson.
There was no other way; the equipment installed on Bai Yu's company's boats was specifically for them. Now that they had finally met on the high seas, they had to use the other party's fishing boats to test whether these things worked.
Even if it's difficult to experiment with impact plates, we can always try water guns and cutting knives.
Just as Bai Yu was chatting with his uncle, his uncle's satellite phone rang. He quickly picked it up, answered it, said "uh-huh" twice, and then hung up.
"Found them! Old Wang has finally found the Filipino monkey's boat. It's quite close to us, and we'll see them soon."
"Xiaoyu, you'll be in charge of the water gun later. You'll use the big one; there's a control panel here, just like playing a video game. You control the direction of the water gun, and it shoots in that direction. Want to try it out?"
After hanging up the phone, the eldest uncle adjusted the direction of the fishing boat while chatting with Bai Yu.
"Found the Filipino monkey's ship? Let's take it, let's take it, we have to take it! I'll fire the first shot, and I'll take responsibility for whatever happens!"
Upon hearing that they had found Fei the Monkey, Bai Yu was more excited than anyone else, and quickly patted his chest as he spoke.
"It's nothing serious, Xiaoyu, you don't have to take any responsibility. That was because the monkey broke the law first. We were just defending our national sovereignty. We're in the right this time!"
"Yes, we're in the right, let's take them down!"
With Bai Yu and his companions filled with excitement, the fishing boat Yu Xue was speeding forward toward the coordinates provided by Uncle Wang.
They drove for three hours straight, from 1 p.m. until after 4 p.m., when the sun was almost setting before a few black dots appeared in their field of vision.
That's right, what they saw was not one ship, but multiple ships.
When they drove up to the black dots, Bai Yu saw a scene that made him laugh.
There were six fishing boats in front of him, four large and two small. The four large ones were the same size as the Yuxue, which they were on, all 75 meters long, all red and blue in color, and all with the words "Yuxue" painted on their hulls, only the numbers after them were different.
Between these four large ships, there were two smaller vessels surrounded, which were only slightly larger than half the size of the Yuxue.
Those four boats with the words "Yu Xue" written on them belong to their company; Uncle Wang piloted the Yu Xue No. 1.
At this moment, Bai Yu's company's four fishing boats were surrounding the monkey's two fishing boats and spraying water on them. Eight water jets shot out from the four boats, continuously washing the monkey's boats.
How can this scene be described? If you asked Bai Hao, it would be "Well done!"
