Chapter 158 The Treasure is Missing
158
Originally, Mr. Oda wanted to use the US warships to sink the Chinese warships that had just provoked them, and teach China a lesson.
But I didn't expect the US warships to be so poor and their accuracy so low. What are their soldiers doing for a living? Are they just a makeshift team trained on the spur of the moment?
This technology is too poor. Albert was already furious. If just now he just wanted to teach China a lesson, and he didn't care much whether the warship sank or not, then now his goal must make this Chinese warship disappear from the world.
Without caring about anything else, Albert went to the control room himself.
"Move aside. If this shot hits you, you should give me a reasonable explanation."
After finishing his words, Albert personally controlled the direction of the cannon, adjusted the angle, and pressed the button to fire. With a "bang", he fired at the Chinese warship again.
A smile appeared on the corner of Albert's lips. He didn't believe that this shot would miss the target.
The expected explosion did not occur. Albert stood aside in disbelief and looked at the Chinese warship. As a result, he saw that the Chinese warship was still floating steadily on the sea.
“Shit!”
Albert slammed the door of the control room hard, then paced back and forth in the control room with his hands on his hips.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible! These warships were debugged and tested at sea before going out to sea, and their hit rate is extremely high. But now they have fired dozens of shots and can't even get close to the Chinese warships. This is unscientific."
Albert suddenly thought of Tang Yue's clear and fierce eyes, and then many miraculous stories about China came to his mind.
Albert was arrogant, but he wasn't stupid. He figured since he couldn't hit him, it was time to leave. Perhaps this was destined.
After figuring it out, Albert no longer cared about face. He wanted to leave the Chinese waters as quickly as possible. This land was a bit weird.
However, as luck would have it, on the fishing boat where Oda-kun and his companions had just been, the Japanese people were shouting loudly at Oda-kun and Fujino-kun.
After hearing the content, the two of them turned pale, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they wanted to go to the boat to see the situation in person.
Just as Albert was about to give the order to return, Oda-kun hurried into the control room.
Albert strode forward and blocked the two men at the door of the control room, "Gentlemen, I don't think you are welcome here.
Also, I think since we have received your fishing boat, we should return."
At this moment, Oda-kun no longer had time to laugh at the incompetence of the US warships. He spoke anxiously.
"Mr. Albert, please wait a moment. I need to return to the fishing boat to confirm something. If everything is OK, we will return immediately."
Oda-kun knew the seriousness of the situation and prayed that the treasures were still in the fishing boat and that the soldier who had just delivered the message was joking with him. Although the joke was not funny, he thought he would forgive that person.
Albert looked at the two of them and raised his eyebrows. "Oda-kun, Fujino-kun, I think I have the right to know what you are going to confirm."
Oda-kun and Fujino-kun's faces looked extremely bad, but if they wanted to return to the fishing boat now, they had to have Albert's help. Moreover, the subordinates' report just now was very loud, and many American soldiers on the US warship had heard it. This news could not be concealed at all.
"Mr. Albert, please stop the boat first. I need to go back to the fishing boat to check on the treasure."
"What happened to the treasure? Mr. Oda, please don't tell me the treasure is damaged. Your fishing boat is moving forward safely and there has been no collision."
"No, Mr. Albert, please stop the boat immediately."
Albert poked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue. Although he was very disgusted with Oda-kun's order, seeing that the two men did not seem to be lying, he still gave orders to the soldiers in the control room.
As soon as the warship stopped, the two men did not wait for others to come up to help pull the rope, but started to do it themselves.
When the fishing boat and the warship came close to each other, the two men jumped down without even waiting for the ladder.
Albert grabbed the two men's arms with both hands and said, "Oda-kun, Fujino-kun, I think your safety is also in my mission. Is it not a good idea for you to do this?"
After giving his deputy a wink, the American soldier immediately lowered the rope ladder on the warship.
Without time to explain, Oda-kun and Fujino-kun quickly climbed down the ladder to the fishing boat. Albert thought for a moment and followed closely behind.
At this moment, all the Japanese on the fishing boat were pale and trembling all over. They could not explain the current situation.
Oda-kun and Fujino-kun had already seen the expressions of these people. Without bothering to ask any questions, they hurried down to the cabin and went to the warehouse.
The red light on the bomb on the door was still flashing, and there was nothing unusual to see. Before the two of them could even begin to wonder, they noticed that a piece of wood was missing from the wall far away from the door.
The two men were horrified and ran over quickly. As a result, they saw the warehouse filled with most of the ship's stones through the gaps in the wooden boards.
"Baga! What the hell is going on? Can anyone tell me?"
Oda-kun was so angry that he pulled out the bayonet from his waist, as if he was going to cut someone's abdomen if he couldn't explain himself clearly.
Fujino-kun's face turned pale. Sure enough, it had finally come. The bad premonition in his heart had indeed come true, and he suddenly felt like the dust had settled.
Albert followed closely behind. When he saw the cabin full of stones, his face turned green, then blue to purple, and then purple to black. Then he laughed out of anger.
He sneered, "Is this the treasure that Japan said it brought back from China? You just reached an agreement with the US government with a few ships of stones?"
I never knew Japan had such courage."
Albert turned around and tried to leave, but before Oda could put down the bayonet in his hand, he immediately grabbed Albert's arm with his other hand.
"Mr. Albert, please listen to my explanation. This is a misunderstanding, really.
When we boarded the boat, we clearly loaded all our treasures onto it. But for some reason, the boat is now filled with only stones."
Albert didn't believe what Oda said at all. Subconsciously, he thought that Japan had deceived the United States.
Albert swung his arm to shake off Oda-kun's hand, "Oda-kun, I think you should explain these to the US government."
After saying that, he turned and left. Oda-kun didn't care about anything else and hurriedly chased after him.
"Mr. Albert, it's not what you think. There are treasures on the ship. Those treasures, yes! Those treasures must have been taken away by the Chinese warship.
Those treasures must be on that Chinese warship right now, yes! It must look like this."
Oda-kun's face flushed with excitement as if a sudden thought occurred to him. He remembered the kayak that had drifted beside the fishing boat for no apparent reason.
At this moment, Oda-kun burst out with unprecedented potential. He ran a few steps and stood in front of Albert.
"Mr. Albert, please believe me. Before the American warship arrived, our fishing boat was floating on the sea, and the Chinese warship sent a kayak over. There was no one on the kayak, yet it was able to accurately float from the sea to our fishing boat. That must be when the treasure on the fishing boat disappeared."
Albert felt that what Oda said was nonsense, and he didn't want to believe it. The moment he raised his foot, his mind flashed back to the cannons they had just fired, but none of them hit the target. He also felt that maybe what Oda said was not impossible.
Oda-kun was afraid that Albert didn't believe him, so he turned around and shouted at Fujino-kun.
"Fujino-kun, please testify for me. That kayak, that kayak, has it been under all three of our fishing boats?"
After they finished speaking, Oda-kun and Fujino-kun exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming even uglier. They needed to immediately confirm whether the treasures were on the other two fishing boats.
However, when the two men climbed onto the deck, the other two boats had already approached the fishing boat, and the Japanese on both sides looked pale.
Their hearts sank to the bottom, and they both took a few steps back and sat down on the deck.
It's over, it's all over! How did the Chinese soldiers get away with so many treasures?
When Albert came out of the cabin and saw the two of them, his doubts were reduced again, but he did not rule out the possibility that they were acting for him.
After all, the Japanese don’t have a very good reputation in the world.
"You two, I think I need a reason that sounds more real."
