Chapter 89: Don't Come Over Here

At the same time, a call with a heavy Funan accent rang out from the radio:

"Go-Fish 4410, Fu-Fish 8655, this is Fu-Fish 8101. Two boats without call signs are approaching!

Northwest direction, northwest direction! I see their lights!"

A few seconds later, the voice of the skipper of Fu-Fish 8655 cursing his ancestors echoed in the radio.

It was currently working hours; the purpose of the two fishing boats approaching was obvious: to disrupt their operations and force them out of these waters.

The view before Tang Wen automatically rose, allowing him to control the Fudong from a third-person perspective, while a combat interface UI also floated before him.

【Random Combat Triggered】

【Expel the enemy warships from the waters and win within 60 minutes】

At this moment, the captain of the Fudong was still Kimura Susumu. The latter immediately got into the state; the warship's engine, which had been idling in place, was immediately pushed to full power, and the rudder was turned hard to port to adjust the heading.

At this time, the voice of Fu-Fish 8101 rang out:

"Boss Tang, come help a brother out! I just dropped the trawl net!"

The Fudong had encountered the two Fu-Fish fishing boats at night; they had only vaguely seen the Fudong's massive shadow and learned that the Fudong was in a trial voyage state.

Therefore, the captains of both boats were very willing to keep the Fudong around, as it would neither steal resources nor provide a capable assistant.

Fu-Fish 8101 was closest to the two Japanese fishing boats; once surrounded, they would destroy its trawl net and wipe out the entire catch, and the trawl net itself was a huge sum of money!

Facing the plea for help, Tang Wen did not hesitate.

Let alone Fu-Fish 8101 actively requesting aid; even without them, Tang Wen would have stepped up.

Before transmigration, his own fishermen were bullied; after transmigration, they were still bullied. Wasn't that a wasted transmigration!

The radio was already filled with gibberish mixed with Chinese; one didn't need to think to know it was curses.

The Fudong, unscientifically, accelerated from a standstill to 20 knots in half a minute and sped rapidly toward the two Japanese fishing boats.

The two Japanese fishing boats had only about half the HP of the Fudong, and their tonnage was definitely only three or four hundred tons; the advantage was mine!

In the darkness of the sea, nothing could be seen clearly; the searchlights of the few fishing boats were like fireflies, flickering dimly and brightly.

But when the Fudong stopped hiding itself, the four super-high-power searchlights used on warships on both sides activated, instantly becoming the brightest thing in these waters.

The blinding light, even several nautical miles away, remained undiminished in power, like a glowing lightbulb.

"Damn, the lights of the Ge-Cheng folks are so bright!"

The skipper of Fu-Fish 8101 was also drawn by the light, and then heard the extremely penetrating sound of a ship's whistle.

"Toot————"

After abandoning steam engines, the whistles of modern diesel ships were produced by compressed air.

But the Fudong was a steam turbine ship burning boilers, capable of generating thousands of horsepower of steam to power the whistle; the sound was louder than that of old steam trains. (Steam whistles sound extremely exaggerated; standing nearby can literally shake one's lungs out.)

Not only did it have an overwhelming advantage in volume, but the steam boiler's air supply was also incredibly exaggerated; the Fudong kept the whistle blowing for a full minute!

For the other four fishing boats, it was as if a heavy-load steam train, puffing and chugging, were rushing straight at them from the roadside.

In fact, that was exactly the case; a speed of 20 knots far exceeded what fishing boats needed, and in less than ten minutes, the Fudong had closed in.

The two Japanese fishing boats simultaneously shone their lights on the Fudong, then were dumbfounded.

They saw a smokestack billowing thick smoke!

It was a smokestack, and it was emitting rolling thick smoke that only boilers could produce!

Moreover, the shape of this fishing boat was different; the bow was not rounded at all, but rather sharp like a warship, resembling an unopened dagger.

The bridge was also installed in the middle of the hull and looked very much like a warship's bridge!

If not for the blue-and-white two-tone paint job, they would absolutely have thought this was a warship!

The two Fu-Fish boats were also seeing the Fudong's true appearance under the lights for the first time, and both sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

Ge-Cheng didn't have any famous shipyards to begin with; yet when they built a fishing boat, they built one this wild.

And just looking at the shape, it seemed very unfriendly; not only did it look like a warship, but it was also steam-powered, which was far too rare!

Putting aside cost-performance and quality, just this appearance was very cool!

"NZN204, you go tie down that big ship; I'll go destroy the trawl net of that working fishing boat!"

"Hino-kun, you must be quick!"

The two boats still refused to give up, dividing tasks in the radio and changing course.

NZN003 turned toward Fu-Fish 8101, attempting to use tools on board to destroy the opponent's trawl net, while NZN204 plucked up the courage to block Fudong's mandatory channel, attempting to make Tang Wen turn.

"Ship ahead, this is our Exclusive Economic Zone! Turn away immediately, or we won't be polite!"

The captain of NVH204 screamed hoarsely, but it had no effect whatsoever.

"You are interfering with our normal operations; you should be asked to leave immediately!"

Tang Wen reached out to pick his ear, and gave the order with total indifference:

"Maintain speed, force them back!"

Anyway, he could repair the ship from the void; facing low-HP small boats, he just needed to rush straight at them.

Kimura Susumu faithfully executed the order, aiming straight at NZN204, the closest one to him, and charged forward.

The distance between the two sides was less than two nautical miles, literally within arm's reach.

NZN204, with a maximum speed of only 8 knots, was completely unable to contend; its captain immediately turned the rudder, presenting its rear to Tang Wen and attempting to flee.

Joke's on them; they weren't stupid. The two Fu-Fish boats had similar tonnage to them and were only daring to cause trouble because they were in the middle of operations.

The Fudong was a whole circle larger and exuded eeriness everywhere; only a fool would engage in a head-on collision.

The other one, NZN003, seen during the day, had even less loyalty; upon seeing the Fudong, it suddenly grew cowardly and abandoned its plan to harass Fu-Fish 8101.

They hadn't even approached Fu-Fish 8101 when they sneakily and suddenly changed course, clearly intending to abandon their teammates and flee.

"Baka, coward... Yamero, yamero!"

In the radio, the captain of NZN204 kept roaring, furiously scolding the teammate for fleeing halfway through.

However, it had no effect; the Fudong Hao caught up with it in five minutes.

Tang Wen finally saw clearly that NZN204 was a pure white fishing boat; the Fudong Hao's searchlight made the people on its deck unable to open their eyes, and he could already see someone standing outside the boat waving desperately.

The NZN204 was truly afraid; with such a high relative speed, if they really collided, both boats would suffer serious damage!

According to Tang Wen's expectation, the two boats should have come very close, with only a four or five-meter gap; since the NZN204's tonnage was less than half that of the Fudong Hao, it would naturally back down.

However, just at this moment, the captain of the NZN204, perhaps due to extreme tension, turned with an amplitude exceeding expectations:

Originally, the NZN204 should have turned to a direction nearly parallel to the Fudong Hao, then increased the distance, which would have achieved the goal of driving it away.

However, because the turning amplitude exceeded expectations, the NZN204 pointed its side toward the bow of the Fudong Hao.

Not far away, the captains of the two Fuyu boats were already dumbfounded.

The Eyu 4401 not only came to help, but acted like a reckless fool, determined to persist and clash head-on.

They only wanted the Fudong Hao to tie up the opponent for a while, so they could pull in the nets and join the battle; who knew this big brother was not only fierce, but actually followed through when there was trouble.

Good news: powerful reinforcements have arrived.

Bad news: the reinforcements are actually going to fight!

If they really collide, the cost of repairing the ship will be considerable!

From their perspective, the two boats, one large and one small, were already partially overlapping, making them involuntarily break out in a cold sweat.

And on the Fudong Hao, Tang Wen was also extremely surprised.

Is the captain on the other side that brave? He only wanted to scare them, but the other party actually turned to ram into him.

A ship collision is no joke; vessels are massive objects weighing hundreds of tons, and even a slight scrape is a serious accident, making repairs very troublesome.

Even though the Fudong Hao is harder, he still dared not be certain whether the steel could withstand such a huge impact.

If it hit below the waterline, there would still be a risk of flooding and capsizing.

But even the Fudong Hao could not slow down and evade in such a short time; even with the rudder turned frantically, it inevitably drew closer.

"Hold on tight!"

Seeing that evasion was impossible, the few people on the Fudong Hao could only grab solid places nearby, preparing to meet the impending impact, as the sharp bow rammed into it at a relative speed of at least fifteen knots.
