Chapter 1635 Honor
"Wait a minute before taking pictures, the flags aren't even planted yet."
"I need to find a good spot! This is the symbol of our fishing boat's glory!"
"Haha, after everyone plants their national flags, they can brag about it and say that this island is ours to protect, and we've planted our flags on it. That's proof!"
A large group of people were extremely excited, carrying flags and climbing up and down the reef without getting tired, each trying to find a good spot to plant their flag!
"Damn it, you're in the way, get out!"
Someone passing by saw a Japanese soldier lying on the ground, kicked him hard, and then stomped on him.
If you encounter someone who isn't one of your own, you'll get punched and kicked a few times.
The official ships were still negotiating with the other ships, and the official ships that followed to handle the situation had not yet docked. So the Japanese soldiers were still on the island; some were tied up, some were lying on the ground groaning, and some were hiding.
However, these people cannot leave without their permission; the cargo ship has long been under the control of their workers.
We tried to drive them away before, but they wouldn't leave. Now we're not letting them leave even if they want to.
"You all find a spot to plant your flags first. Once you've planted them, we'll gather on the rocks over here on the beach. When everyone's here, we'll take a group photo."
"immediately……"
"This flag needs to be planted higher so it can be seen from a distance..."
Some of the people who had finished planting the flags were bored, so they dealt with the Japanese soldiers by tying them up with ropes, so that the officials could take over when they arrived.
These Japanese soldiers were tied up but still kept talking in their own language.
"Ugh! Ptooey! I don't understand what you're saying, and you don't understand what I'm saying, but I spit, ptooey, ptooey, you definitely understand!"
"Nonsence……"
"That's right, they can't understand what I say, but they'll definitely understand what I mean when I spit, hahaha..."
"Not very harmful, but extremely insulting, hahaha..."
"It's alright, we fishermen are just rough people, we're not cultured or polite."
"Exactly, I'm just uncultured and have no manners. It's a favor that I didn't kill them, what's wrong with spitting on them? Pui..."
While waiting, everyone teased those people for a while. After everyone had planted their flags and come down, the officials arrived on the island, so they asked the officials to take a group photo for them.
There are quite a few of them.
With forty or fifty boats, and at least twenty or so people on each boat, everyone was eager to take photos during this momentous occasion.
"The best spot in front should be reserved for Captain Ye. Please don't push, make way..."
"Haha, yes, yes, yes, this spot should be our Captain Ye's. It was he who discovered the problem with this reef that was able to stop these Japanese devils."
Ye Yaodong, of course, didn't stand on ceremony. That was the center position. He said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite. I still have nine ships. Let my captains stand closer too. Everyone has worked hard."
"What! Nine ships!"
Nine ships?
Everyone looked surprised.
"You have nine boats? All by yourself?"
"Wow, you have nine boats? How many boats does a fishing company even have in this area?"
Everyone was astonished and asked a barrage of questions. It was something they had never heard of or seen before—that an individual could own so many boats. Everyone found it hard to believe.
The boatmen all chimed in, "It's true, he's our boss!"
“Our boss has more than nine boats, dozens! Some are in coastal waters, and some are returning to port to transport goods.”
"Our boss sold all the small boats before and has now replaced them with bigger ones..."
"Our boss has so many boats..."
Ye Yaodong humbly explained, "Seven boats here belong to me, and two other boats belong to my eldest and second eldest brothers. The two boats in front of me also discovered the situation of this reef island."
Everyone was somewhat incredulous, but the facts were undeniable. All the boat captains came over, and their accents were identical, leaving them no choice but to believe it.
In those glorious moments, no one would admit that they weren't the boss, but just an employee.
Everyone echoed the praise and exclaimed in admiration.
In the short time it took to speak, about two hundred people had taken their positions on a large reef, some squatting and some standing.
While they were taking photos, the officials also took the Japanese soldiers away.
After they finished taking photos, the officials asked for their contact information one by one, mainly to record the contact information of the captains of each fishing boat, as well as the names of the people on board.
This needs to be reported, and then we'll wait for the higher-ups to issue a reward. After all, they defended their own territory!
The officer in naval uniform saluted them solemnly, saying, "We really have to thank you all today. If it weren't for your timely discovery, our waters would have been illegally occupied by someone else who built a lighthouse there, and we might even have to mark their country's name on the map in the future."
"No need to thank me, this is what every Chinese person should do. It would be a disgrace if they actually built a lighthouse on this reef island."
"This is all we should do. Once they build the lighthouse and it's a fait accompli, we'll have nowhere to cry."
"Yes, we're willing to risk everything, even our ships and our lives, to prevent them from stealing our waters."
“This sea area originally belonged to us. It’s one thing for those foreign fishing boats to sneak in and steal fish, but we can’t let them steal our sea area!”
The officer added, "Thank you very much. It's fortunate that we discovered it in time. If we had waited until it was completed before dealing with it, we would have been in a very passive position."
“I have recorded everyone’s contact information. This is a major achievement. The higher-ups will definitely hold an award ceremony and award everyone with certificates of honor. We will contact everyone in advance.”
"Hehe, that's great! I... no, I've never been this glorious in my life."
"Haha, taking home a certificate of honor, that'll be enough for my whole life."
The officials still had many follow-up matters to handle. After registering everyone's contact information, they gave a sincere thank you and then boarded the ship.
Some fishing boats arrived late, which was a bit of a disappointment. They slapped their thighs in regret, wishing they had been faster or reacted sooner.
Some individual fishing boats managed to catch up with the last few, just enough to make up the numbers.
Those who remained in the same spot exchanged names and contact information with each other, mainly asking the captain of the fishing boat for photos.
The captain of the Ping An fishing boat was also extremely excited, feeling that he had made a very wise decision to bring a camera on board. Now everyone was extremely polite to him.
However, to avoid trouble, he only said that he would go back and develop the photos, and bring them when he went to receive the honor. Everyone could then receive theirs individually. If no one came, he would keep the photos at the award ceremony.
No one objected. After all, they were all fishermen who usually spent most of their time at sea. It wasn't easy to meet up with everyone, and mailing things was expensive and troublesome, since they had to keep track of so many addresses.
Ye Yaodong also left the contact information of the captain of the Ping An fishing boat, as well as the captains of some other fishing boats.
Today's cooperation was pleasant, and we were united against external forces. We all developed a sense of camaraderie, and if anything happens in the future, we'll definitely take this camaraderie into account and be more willing to discuss and negotiate. It's also a valuable network of connections.
Moreover, after what happened today, everyone is fishing in the same sea area, so we can look out for each other and the sense of unfamiliarity has decreased. We've gone from being complete strangers to being like family.
Security in this sea area has been further enhanced.
"That's all for now. The sun is almost setting. We've been busy since early morning, and everyone is exhausted."
"Yes, I didn't even have time to eat all day, I rushed over here excitedly."
"The people on all nine of our boats hadn't even had breakfast yet. When we discovered them early in the morning, we all started to deal with them."
"You've all worked so hard. Thank you so much, Captain Ye, for today..."
Ye Yaodong said politely, "What are you thanking me for? Let's not be so polite. This is our own territory."
"If we encounter foreign fishing boats in this area in the future, let's all shout it out on the public channel and drive them away together. We won't even let them steal our fish anymore!"
"Yes, this sea area is ours!"
"Then we'll take our leave first. If you need anything in the future, just let us know. I fish in this area."
"Me too……"
Everyone said goodbye and then returned to their respective ships one after another. As for the national flags, they were all planted on this reef island as a memento and to assert sovereignty.
As for the lighthouse that's only half-built here, that will naturally be handled by the authorities.
Official vessels and the ghost ship involved in the incident are still docked nearby, negotiating. They left, but neither side has left.
Fortunately, several official warships arrived one after another and surrounded the enemy.
The old man was still in high spirits. "Dongzi, thanks to you for pulling us to the front to take pictures, we've really been honored."
"It's a pity we couldn't kill them. When we were surrounding the ghost ship, I really wanted to impulsively go and kill them."
The others were also excitedly chattering, never imagining they would have such a glorious moment.
"Boss, shouldn't everyone receive a certificate of honor?"
"That's right, isn't that what the officer just said? Everyone contributed, everyone got a share."
"Hehe, that's good..."
Ye Yaodong added, "We've been delayed for a day, so let's all go back to our ships. We're starving. Everyone should grab something to eat first, and then get back to what you were doing."
Just then, the Dongyu No. 1 arrived late, and several other boats also arrived at this time.
As the large group of people gradually returned to their respective ships, those who arrived late were bewildered.
"It's over? So soon?"
The Dongyu was also on the verge of tears.
One by one, everyone disembarked, and those who hadn't arrived yet couldn't be contacted at all.
The captain of the Lian Dong Yu shouted into the walkie-talkie for a long time, but no one responded.
Only when he returned to the ship did someone answer him.
"You're too late. We've already finished the battle, registered everyone, and are waiting to receive our certificates of honor!"
The fishing boats that arrived late were so frustrated they were practically beating their legs off.
P.S.: Time for bed. I'll add another chapter tomorrow.
