few others, there were seven or eight Russians squeezed into the cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the crew members who had to work in the engine room and couldn’t leave, everyone else was crammed in there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hooray, hooray, hooray!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Gao Yang’s announcement that their mission of revenge had been successfully completed, the loudest cheers were delayed for a short while because most of the people in the cockpit couldn’t understand English.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Pavlovich repeated the announcement in Russian, a bunch of old Russians immediately cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang was somewhat taken aback to see that the Russian crew seemed to be even more excited than he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Launching a torpedo only required the press of a button, but all the work leading up to that moment was completed by four individuals tasked with setting the torpedo’s attack parameters, and right then, they were the most excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gao Yang’s puzzled look, Uriyangko shrugged and said, “Are you wondering why they’re so excited?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s simple, by sinking the Nisshin Maru, each one of them gets fifty thousand US dollars, and for sinking the entire fleet, they get one hundred thousand dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pavlovich was also thrilled and swiftly issued several commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Avenger began to move forward at full speed, he pulled his captain’s hat down, grabbed a bottle of alcohol, took a big swig, and then shouted at Gao Yang, “Buddy, I’m very thankful for the job opportunity you provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I salute you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang smiled and said, “I should be the one thanking you, captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve done an outstanding job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, I never knew you could speak English.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pavlovich laughed and said, “Buddy, during my tenure as the executive officer, it was a time when the Soviet Union was always ready for war with NATO.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My daily job involved confronting NATO warships, making threats, intimidation, and talking tough with NATO captains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I not know English?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After laughing, Pavlovich pointed to the crew, whose expressions were filled with joy, and then said with a face full of emotion, “Do you know why they are so happy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because we’re all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless times of training, countless drills, but never once did we have a real fight with an enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, they’ve finally participated in a real combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not training, nor a drill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commanding a real battle for the first time in my life, even though the target is a civilian ship, isn’t too bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least I ordered the torpedoes fired at a real ship, I got to use what I learned, haha, so I must thank you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without you, there would be no operation, and without the operation, there would be no job opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, I’ve been in the navy all my life until I retired, and for an old guy whose pension wasn’t even enough to buy alcohol, your job opportunity is too important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will make a fortune this time, I can die from alcohol poisoning, and my old lady at home can finally shut up, haha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For professional soldiers, especially those in peacetime, the skills they’ve been learning and practicing their whole lives might be likened to a dragon-slaying technique—practiced for a lifetime, but possibly never used against an enemy because that would mean going to war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang understood Pavlovich’s feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To finally use one’s lifelong skills must feel great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, their target being a civilian ship rather than a warship was a bit of a letdown, but considering they were attacking the Japanese, a kind of trash species, the sailors wouldn’t feel guilty for slaughtering civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they felt a sense of achievement for ridding the world of pests, which made up for most of their regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glolov was shaking hands with the Russian crew members one by one, chatting happily with them in Russian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Glolov said to Gao Yang with a smile, “They’re asking me when there will be another action like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are very eager to participate again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pavlovich was nodding continuously, “That’s right, I want to join in again too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t you mention earlier that you’ve established a Green Terror Organization?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s another action like this, you must notify me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang forced a smile and said, “Please, that was just a diversionary statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really don’t have the luxury of dedication to fighting for the protection of precious animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This operation alone has drained my entire fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we do this again, I’ll truly be bankrupt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pavlovich expressed his regret, “Although I know you were speaking off the cuff, I still feel very regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be great if what you said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a pity, people like you are too rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve heard about your situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of a friend, you spent all your money on an event that shocked the whole world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many who are richer than you, but few who could be as determined as you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriyangko laughed heartily, “Ram here is a tough nut to crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be fooled by his young age and constant smiles; when he gets tough, he dares to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re lucky his girlfriend wasn’t in any serious trouble this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had really met with misfortune, I guess he would’ve gone to Japan’s main island with a nuclear bomb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang shrugged and said, “A nuclear bomb?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really wish I could, but unfortunately, I don’t have enough money to buy one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just sinking a few ships this time has wiped out my entire wealth, as well as Big Dog’s, and it also caused my brothers to lose a large sum of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I absolutely do not want to take another unilateral action.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glolov said very seriously, “Ram, for my daughter, I would do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I’m very grateful and satisfied with your initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, let’s not talk about money anymore because your loss is the biggest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo said earnestly, “Brother Yang, once I heard something happened, I knew you would make a big move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether we have money or not, you definitely wouldn’t just take things lying down because you are a man of swift justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And don’t mention money anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know we gave willingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the point of living if we’re always fretting over a little bit of money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opportunity to vent our anger and achieve swift justice is worth going broke for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang patted Gao Yang’s shoulder, his voice somber, “Brother Yang, no matter what happens, brothers stick together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning favors and taking revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just ask you not to take the brothers’ matters as your own and not to keep your own issues from your brothers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriyangko said with a grin, “The price you guys paid for this retribution is no small matter, but it’s all been worth it, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glolov also said in a deep voice, “Of course, it was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has released a grudge in my heart, and now I can sleep peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I hadn’t, there would’ve been a thorn in my side for the rest of my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang sighed, “It was worth it, really worth it; even going bankrupt is worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ‘swift justice’ is easier said than done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for all of you, how could this revenge have been so thorough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriyangko laughed loudly, “There’s a Russian proverb that a real man should not let his enemies live through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people like to tout this phrase, but few can truly live up to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You guys did it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the situation, the enemy, or the cost, all of you faced it together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, you all are true men.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(To be
