Chapter 311 Conflict between Fishermen of Two Countries
311
Tang Yue frowned a little. What Gu Yanxi said was not wrong, but...
Was she too naive? Tang Yue didn't know how to describe this feeling.
Gu Yanxi continued, "In fact, it's good enough that they are still alive. After all, nothing is more important than life, right?"
Tang Yue thought this made a lot of sense. Gu Yanxi continued, "I think we can ask them what they want to do. After all, they have to make their own way in the future."
Tang Yue felt that she was becoming increasingly confused by Gu Yanxi's words. "What do you mean?"
Gu Yanxi looked at Tang Yue with a more serious expression this time. "Comrade Tang, I think it's normal to sacrifice some of your own interests for the growth of China."
Tang Yue's eyes widened a little, "You want it?"
Gu Yanxi turned and went back into the house. Tang Yue didn't listen carefully. When the women came out, the sadness on their faces disappeared, replaced by a tenacity.
The nine women bowed solemnly to Tang Yue. "Thank you for saving our lives."
Tang Yue simply nodded without saying anything. Of the nine women, four were willing to remain on this pirate island, to become Gu Yanxi's intelligence agents. Three were willing to go to Japan as informants.
Tang Yue was a little surprised. She looked at the three women, then at Gu Yanxi, with a look of disapproval in her eyes. The woman who had cried first bowed to Tang Yue and spoke with difficulty.
"My benefactor, this is what we wanted. We can't go back home in our current state. We haven't contacted them for such a long time, they might have already thought we were dead.
It's actually a good thing that we don't bother each other. If we become rich one day, we will secretly support our family."
Tang Yue respected their choice, and in the end, the two chose to return home with Gu Yanxi. Tang Yue thought they were still reluctant to let go of their loved ones, so she didn't say anything. Gu Yanxi didn't say much either.
These people all returned from Japan. After China takes over, they will definitely not send these people back to their place of origin directly. They will definitely have to make sure that they are no longer a danger to China before they will be truly at ease.
Of course, Tang Yue didn't know all this, and she didn't want to know. This time, Tang Yue understood another truth: never get yourself into trouble.
Tang Yue didn't want to stay on the pirate island any longer, so she planned to take the Chinese people on board the ship back to China with Gu Yanxi.
They had just taken a few steps when someone called out to them from behind.
"etc."
Tang Yue and Gu Yanxi turned around and saw a gorgeously dressed woman calling out to them. Seeing them stop, the woman asked in a questioning tone, "We're all Chinese, too. Why are you asking them about their wishes and arranging a way out for them, but leaving us alone?"
"What's your name?" Tang Yue's voice was calm.
"My name is Li Xiaofang. Why? Does it have something to do with the name?"
Tang Yue chuckled, "No, it's just that I thought you didn't remember your name?"
"What do you mean? What does my name have to do with it? Aren't you here to rescue people? Why don't you save us? I want to go back too."
Li Xiaofang's tone was firm. Tang Yue didn't have much of an opinion on how these people lived on the island. After all, when faced with danger, it was human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. How they lived depended on their own abilities.
A woman stood next to Li Xiaofang. "My name is Zhang Lan. Are you trying to say that we've forgotten we're Chinese?"
As she spoke, she laughed at herself, "Is it wrong for us to want to live? Do we have to be like them to be loyal to China? Ask them, have they done less of what we have done?"
The results are all the same? Rather than suffering, when there's no solution, isn't adapting to life here a possible solution?"
Zhang Lan's voice was very cold. It was unclear whether she was born that way or if she had developed this ability. Tang Yue didn't want to delve into it, but she agreed with what she said.
No matter what, it is all for survival. When you cannot conquer the environment, it is right to choose an environment that is most beneficial to you.
Seeing Tang Yue nod, Zhang Lan continued, "So, can you take us with you?"
Tang Yue shook her head. Zhang Lan was puzzled. "Why?"
"Since you can live anywhere, why don't you stay here? You can do things for me."
Zhang Lan frowned, "What if I don't want to?"
Gu Yanxi was about to say something, but Tang Yue pulled him back. While Zhang Lan's words were true, Tang Yue still felt these people were unreliable. In other words, they were no different from the traitors of the time; they were indeed very good at seeking profit and avoiding harm.
It is precisely because of this that their resolve is weak, and returning home may not necessarily be a good thing for China. Instead of that, it is better to let them continue to shine on this island.
Tang Yue felt there was no need to reason with these people, as everyone had their own little thoughts. Tang Yue directly used a mind-enchanting spell on these women, including the ones Gu Yanxi had communicated with.
The content this time is very simple, there is only one thing, that is, to defend China to the death.
She thought that as long as she followed this one rule, other minor flaws were normal. After all, no one is perfect.
Tang Yue took these women out of the stronghold and handed them over to the pirates, asking them to properly settle them. From now on, these women no longer lived like women from the pirate group. They could have freedom and do what ordinary people did.
Under Tang Yue's orders, the pirates did not dare to slack off at all. They immediately arranged comfortable accommodation for the women and provided them with sufficient food and water without any "labor" from the women.
Seeing these women gradually regain their vitality, Tang Yue did not delay any longer and took the Chinese away directly. Gu Yanxi looked very happy. Tang Yue did not care what he did here. As long as it did not harm China, she would pretend not to see it.
The pirate leader, like the third in command Tang Yue, cast a spell of mind-enchantment. The pirate leader bowed and scraped, arranging several small boats and personally rowing them to Tang Yue and the others.
Watching the pirates drifting further and further away, Gu Yanxi sighed. Tang Yue tilted her head slightly, and Gu Yanxi smiled, "Life with you is still so exciting. You easily captured the most powerful bandits in the Erdu Strait. What else can stump you?"
Tang Yue was very happy to hear Gu Yanxi's praise.
However, this put a lot of trouble on the troops in Zhougang who were responsible for picking them up. After Commander Kang received the call, Chang Yin felt that it would be safer to go there in person.
After all, Chang Yin knew Tang Yue best. It was impossible for her to simply send some people back when she went out. She might bring back something else.
Commander Kang thought Chang Yin's proposal made sense. Tang Yue was a soldier from their South Island. How could her combat record not be as good as someone from their South Island who could go and pick her up? They hadn't caught up with her the last time she went out, so this time they had to go no matter what.
Commander Kang directly ordered Chang Yin and his men to sail directly from the sea with two warships, and it would be best if they could rendezvous with Tang Yue and her men at sea. Commander Kang contacted the troops here, and they also thought it was time to go to the sea to provide support.
After all, Tang Yue and her crew only had one boat, so it was still very dangerous to sail at sea, especially since the route they were taking happened to be in an area of constant conflict.
Tang Yue, who they were thinking about, actually encountered a problem at this moment. The reason was simple: their ship was from Japan, with obvious Japanese symbols on it. Moreover, Japanese ships looked more advanced than Chinese ships.
Fishermen from both countries cast nets and catch fish at sea, but the two countries' waters are not clearly defined, so Chinese fishermen go to the neighboring Japanese waters to fish, and Japanese fishermen cross the Chinese waters. These are all normal phenomena.
However, these often lead to conflicts between the fishermen of the two countries. Tang Yue and her crew quickly crossed the Erdu Strait and were very close to Japan. Their boat was moving very fast. In the waters between the two countries, Chinese and Japanese fishing boats were clashing.
