Chapter 1502 Are they planning to declare war?
Xiao Peng had originally intended to wrap the rope around the black ship's propeller, but once he reached the sea, he abandoned the idea. The black ship had twin propellers and a protective hull, so wrapping the rope around the propellers was unrealistic. He could only abandon the rope and focus on rescuing the drowning victim.
There were also Faroese people on the sea who were driving small speedboats to avoid the black ships and rescue the drowning people, but their efficiency was too slow. Just when they were desperate, Xiao Peng appeared: he rescued the drowning people from the sea one by one and sent them to the Faroese boats!
But this is not only a temporary solution, it also does not address the root cause - who knows what kind of modifications the black ship has undergone, but such a large hull can actually reach a speed of nearly 25 knots!
The boats the Faroese used to chase the whales were mostly small fishing boats that could only go fifteen knots at best. With the exception of a few speedboats, they had no chance of escaping the black ship. New boats were constantly being wrecked and people were falling overboard.
Even if Xiao Peng was an invincible swimmer, he would be helpless in the face of so many people in need of rescue. He was currently swimming towards a speedboat, holding a young boy in one hand.
"Move over here!" Xiao Peng shouted to the people on the nearest small yacht while swimming.
The boatman on the small yacht turned the boat around and headed towards Xiao Peng. Now the several small yachts here all followed Xiao Peng's command to help rescue people.
They were astounded by Xiao Peng's swimming prowess: rescuing someone in the ocean is a highly dangerous endeavor. A drowning person in imminent danger can unleash incredible strength, easily dragging the rescuer into the ocean and killing both. Xiao Peng's single-handed rescue of a single person was practically unheard of! Furthermore, Xiao Peng's swimming speed and endurance were astonishing! So, naturally, they focused on Xiao Peng as the core of the rescue effort.
The speedboat just turned around and found that the black ship was rushing towards it. He could only turn the bow to avoid it!
"Fuck it!" Xiao Peng cursed and could only drag the two children back to avoid the water.
At this time, a small speedboat rushed over at high speed. When it was far away from Xiao Peng, it began to turn and slow down, and stopped not far from Xiao Peng: "Boss, I'm coming!"
It was Bruch who came and helped rescue the two children onto the speedboat.
"Where did this ship come from?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion.
Bruch said, "Those patrol officers on the shore were so frightened by that black boat that they didn't dare come over. I just grabbed it!"
"Well done!" Xiao Peng handed the second child to Bruch: "Be careful. Stay away from that black ship, they are crazy!"
Bruch said, "Boss, you should be more careful! This isn't a solution! It's a pity the Luna isn't here, otherwise we could have just bombed these bastards!"
Xiao Peng noticed that there was a bundle of rope on Bruch's boat. This bundle of rope was also used to hook pilot whales. There was also a large iron hook on the top, which seemed to have been unloaded from a small crane.
"This rope is long enough and the hook is great!" Xiao Peng's eyes lit up: "Give me the rope!"
Bruch was stunned: "Boss, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Peng said angrily, "At this rate, I can't rescue them as quickly as they can hit me! I'll see if I can throw the hook onto the boat and climb up. I'll take care of them all first!"
If he did this on another ship, he would have to be careful. If the ship was flying the flag of the country he belonged to, and according to the principle of territoriality, if he boarded the ship without permission, that would be an act of "aggression". In that case, if the people on the ship turned the tables, Xiao Peng would be labeled a "pirate" and it might even cause an international dispute - the supporters of "Sea Shepherd" are not to be trifled with!
But now this black ship is not flying the flag of its own country, which gives Xiao Peng a reason to take action, and there are no taboos!
Bruch said, "Boss, this is too dangerous! You must be careful!"
He knew he couldn't stop Xiao Peng, so he could only advise Xiao Peng to be careful.
"Well, give me the rope!" Xiao Peng said.
Just as Bruch handed the rope to Xiao Peng, he suddenly heard a whistle!
"Boss! The Danish warships are coming!" Bruch shouted.
Xiao Peng looked back and saw a warship in the distance! It was flying the Danish flag and the Royal Danish Navy's flag! Xiao Peng breathed a sigh of relief! The Danish warship had arrived to relieve the garrison!
"What are you standing there for! Fire!" Xiao Peng shouted, "Why sound the whistle to warn people? Just sink it!"
Bruch said: "Boss, there are so many people drowning here and ships from the Faroe Islands, how dare they fire?"
Xiao Peng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. He clung to the side of the ship to rest for a while and said, "It's okay even if they don't dare to fire. This is like closing the door to fight the dog! I want to see where this black ship runs!"
The place where they were located was a bay, and the Danish warship was located at the mouth of the bay, so the black ship had nowhere to escape.
At this time, the black ship turned its bow and headed towards the mouth of the bay.
"Are they planning to rush out?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "They're really brave!"
Bruch said, "It's not surprising. Their actions are too extreme. If they're caught, they'll all be sentenced to the electric chair! They need to fight. The Danish navy is using a 'Crud-Rasmussen-class' ship, which has a full load displacement of only 2,000 tons and a top speed of only 17 knots. Whether in terms of speed or tonnage, it's no match for that black ship."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized, "So if he just rushes out, he might actually be able to escape? This bay's mouth is about ten kilometers wide, right?"
Bruch shook his head. "How could it be that simple? Even a small Danish warship is still a warship, equipped with a 76mm cannon and two 12.7mm heavy machine guns. Even if that black ship was larger, it would still be riddled with bullets. And there's a helicopter on board. How could it be that easy to escape?"
"Never mind! That's the Danish Navy's business." Xiao Peng said, "Cooperate with me to rescue them!"
"Yes!" said Bruch.
As the black ships left, the other ships that had not been hit also spontaneously joined in the rescue of the drowning people, which greatly increased the efficiency of the rescue.
As for the black ship? Who cares? That's the Danish Navy's business!
Saving lives now is a matter of life and death!
Just as Xiao Peng was carrying out rescue work, a loud noise suddenly came from the sea not far away!
Xiao Peng was pushing a person who fell into the water onto the boat. He was startled when he heard it and quickly looked in the direction where the sound came from.
As a result, he just took a look and then stood there in a daze, forgetting to push the person he had just rescued onto the boat.
On the boat, Bruch stared blankly in the same direction as Xiao Peng. After a moment, he came to his senses and asked Xiao Peng, "Boss, is Sea Shepherd planning to declare war on a country?"
