Chapter 633
Zhou Shuwan stood on the deck of the cruise ship, looking at the sea in the distance, his thoughts rising and falling with the waves.
The news she just received from Xue Dong made her feel uneasy.
She didn't expect that the Japanese were still there and occupied a small island.
"What did Dongdong say?" Qi Mingyu came from behind. He was accompanying Grandma Pang just now and did not join in the conversation between Zhou Shuwan and the others. It was not until Xue Dong left and the family had dinner that he had time to ask.
Zhou Shuwan sneered, "Dongdong has found out everything. He said the Russians have confessed that the island is called Himaru Island and was occupied by the Japanese several years ago."
They thought that Japan had been destroyed by floods long ago, but they didn't expect there were still survivors.
Qi Mingyu also raised his eyebrows slightly, with a cold look in his eyes: "It turned out to be them! Japan is an island country, and it is indeed difficult to escape disasters during floods. But they have been able to drift on the sea for so many years and found such an island. It's really..."
He didn't say the rest.
Zhou Shuwan knew what he wanted to say, and she thought the same thing.
"How's that saying? Oh, yes, it's about a scourge that lasts a thousand years... Dongdong said that during the flood, Japan was completely destroyed by the sea, and their people were scattered. One group drifted on the sea on a warship. There were tens of thousands of people at the time, but over the years they have been fighting with other countries for land, and the sea has been turbulent, with frequent typhoons and tsunamis, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Now there are only a few thousand people left. Later, they discovered this small island and occupied it. Tens of thousands of people were reduced to only a few thousand. The Russians also tried to seize it, but they were no match."
Qi Mingyu narrowed his eyes. "If it's a fleet, it seems they have a strong armed force! What do the warships say?"
Zhou Shuwan pursed her lips, remembering the hidden excitement when Xue Dong told her the news, and smiled faintly: "Xue Dong said that the warships are already making plans and may start a war with Himaru Island."
Even if it weren't for the deep hatred between the two countries, the warships would not sit idly by just for the sake of allowing these thousands of people to live on land.
Qi Mingyu pondered for a moment and whispered, "How big is the island?"
Zhou Shuwan recalled Xue Dong's words: "The main island is about 7,000 to 8,000 square meters, and there are several smaller islands around it, each about a few hundred square meters."
Qi Mingyu nodded slightly, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes: "It's enough for living, but it will probably be very tight for planting and breeding."
Zhou Shuwan gave a wry smile. "It's better than living on the ship all the time. Besides, I don't think the civilians on the warship want to all go to the island. We had enough accommodation on shore before, but they were afraid of being squeezed out of space on the warship and didn't dare to disembark."
Qi Mingyu was silent for a moment, his eyes deep: "Since the warship has made a move, we must also be prepared."
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "Yes!"
No matter what others think, their family is willing to live on the ground.
So, you must take advantage of this opportunity and see if you can get a spot on the island.
In fact, she was not the only one who thought so. Most of the people on the warship who learned the news also had the same idea.
In their hearts, although Japan's warships and armed forces are powerful, the blood feud of an entire generation is integrated into it. When the two sides confront each other, they have never thought of failure, and it is impossible for them to fail!
In the next few days, an unusual solemnity permeated the warship.
On the deck, low conversations could be heard from time to time, and the content was all related to Himaru Island.
Because the sound of artillery fire during the encounter with the Russians was obviously detected by the Japanese.
So the reconnaissance ship sent out first found that Himaru Island was heavily guarded, with two destroyers patrolling day and night, and the fully armed Japanese on the island were on alert 24 hours a day, making it impossible to get close.
What is even more disturbing is that an incident of unidentified vessels spying on the waters near the warship occurred.
The warship's daily vigilance has never been relaxed, and the surrounding waters have been patrolled by the navy day and night.
So the navy quickly discovered the other party and opened fire, but the ship still escaped. However, looking at the figures on the ship, they were undoubtedly Japanese.
This is the other party's move to explore the strength of the warship.
The atmosphere in the captain's office was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
A huge nautical chart was spread out on the table, marking the location of Himaru Island and the conditions of the surrounding waters.
This was just drawn a few days ago.
This sea area is a new ocean that emerged after the collapse of the land, and everyone is very unfamiliar with it.
The nautical chart was drawn, but they had no idea of the situation on the island.
"They want to destroy us too!" The captain slammed the table, his deep voice echoing through the room. "It seems this isn't just a battle for territory!"
The generals nodded in agreement. This was a war of life and death.
"We must send people to the island to investigate the other side's situation." Deputy Captain Xiao stared at the nautical chart and said.
"The Japanese are heavily guarded on the island, and it will be very difficult to land on the island and complete the reconnaissance mission!" The captain frowned.
"Does our navy have anyone capable of taking on this task?" Deputy Captain Xiao looked around the office.
Everyone looked embarrassed.
Although the sailors have received very formal and rigorous training, most of their battles are at sea.
Going deep into the enemy camp to investigate the situation is what special forces do.
Although it is not difficult to select a few top-quality personnel from the navy, there is a lack of experience.
At the same time, on the Zhou family cruise ship, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also keenly noticed this unusual atmosphere.
They watched the warship's movements closely, wondering what would happen next.
Just as Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu were discussing how to find out the latest news, they saw from the deck a small boat rapidly approaching their cruise ship from the mother ship.
The person on the ship was none other than Deputy Captain Xiao.
"Xiao Qi, Wanwan!" Deputy Captain Xiao became more friendly towards Zhou Shuwan and the others, calling them by their names directly.
After greeting each other and chatting for a while, he got straight to the point amid the Zhou family's puzzled looks.
He turned to look at Qi Mingyu with a serious expression: "Xiao Qi, we have a very urgent and difficult task. After thinking about it, only you can complete it!"
The adjutant standing behind him also had a serious expression.
The Zhou family looked at each other, confused.
But Qi Mingyu already had a guess in his mind.
He asked calmly, "Vice Captain Xiao, what happened?"
Deputy Captain Xiao paused and looked at the other members of the Zhou family.
Zhou Jianghai, Mu Mu and Zhong Tiyun left immediately: "Let's go get some hot water!"
Zhou Shuwan stood there without moving, looking at Deputy Captain Xiao with some vigilance.
The latter was somewhat helpless and smiled bitterly: "Wanwan, this matter..."
