Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 523 The Big Three

As a seaside city, summer rainstorms are very common.

At this moment, there was a violent storm outside the car, splashes of rainwater hit the slanted window, and the wipers swung from side to side like an out-of-control metronome, scraping away layers of rainwater on the windshield.

Two policemen in raincoats stood on the side of the road, behind them was the closed commercial street, they seemed to be checking for something, and stopped passing vehicles again and again.

Heavy rain pattered on the roof.

Bi Fang said, "Mugalen, change places with me, hurry up."

"good."

Bi Fang shook the backrest, and the two quickly exchanged figures, and then he asked Mugalen to take off his mask and sunglasses.

"Not to say"

"You just do it. When they come to ask, you have to take the initiative to say that you are a tourist from a foreign country. No matter what he asks, you just say Americon, with a more aggressive tone, a little more irritable, understand ?"

"I have a good temper"

"Just imagine that your daughter has a puppy love, and the other party is still a gangster with tattoos, smoking and drinking, and has a criminal record in a labor camp. He is thinking about how to hook your daughter to a motel."

The veins on the back of Mugalen's hands swelled.

He's already getting angry.

Richard, who was driving, hunched over and pulled down the brim of his hat, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

"It's really troublesome to check the road conditions in rainy days."

"There is no way. I heard that the group of people is coming again. Let's lock the vehicle as soon as possible."

A policeman shrank his hands, the raindrops hit his skin, and it hurt a little.

He looked at the road, the visibility was extremely poor, it was gray, and occasionally there was a flash of light, and then thunder rolled, and the harsh sound of horns mixed with the sound of rain made people feel alive.

The speed of the car slowed down, one after another, the red light of the brake lights pierced the rain.

The police waved their sticks and just stopped the commercial vehicle when they saw a bearded foreigner leaning out from the passenger seat, shouting something, his face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead burst out. He went up extremely angry, yelling at American.

He was stunned on the spot, subconsciously bowed and apologized: "Sorry, sorry."

Another policeman also bowed, but still looked up at Mugalen, his beard was too conspicuous, and he shouted: "Are you the hunter who came to participate in the hunting season?"

Mugalen was stunned, and couldn't say anything about American. He belongs to Yang Gelan and belongs to the Nordic people.

It was recognized.

Mugalen simply stopped pretending: "I'm here to investigate the environment in Taiji Town, but you guys dare to stop me. If I lose, you will be fully responsible!"

"No, no." The two policemen hastily explained that they had no such intentions, and then looked at each other, wanting to look into the car.

"Hey!" Mu Jialun yelled loudly, "Do you have anything to do? If you don't have anything, let me go!"

Although he often dealt with foreign tourists, his English was not bad, but Mugalen's tone was rushed and fast, and the rain was too loud, so neither of them could hear clearly what they were shouting.

After confirming that they were hunters who came to hunt black bears, the horns of the car behind them rang again. They were nervous, fearing to annoy their friends, they stopped asking, and quickly waved the fluorescent batons in their hands to let the group leave.

Richard stepped on the accelerator, and everyone felt a strong push back. It is conceivable how nervous everyone was, and the commercial vehicle quickly left the street in the heavy rain.

When the figures of the two policemen were completely out of sight, Mu Jialun let out a long sigh of relief. It was so exciting, but when he looked back, he was startled, and saw Bi Fang staring at him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Interested in being my Harvey?"

"Stand-in? What do you mean?"

"Nothing, just a meme."

Bi Fang pinched his brows. It was just a sudden flash of inspiration just now. Batman has Harvey. In times of crisis, he created a scene with both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Could he also have one?

But think about it, the image gap between the two is too big, so I gave up this idea.

After avoiding the police's search, everyone continued the previous topic.

"Without dolphins, there would be no aquarium. In order to maintain the profit chain, Iki can only purchase dolphins from Taiji Town."

Richard recalled everything he had seen and known.

"I asked the fishermen in Taiji Town if they could subsidize their behavior. In other words, as long as you don't go out to catch dolphins, we will give you the same money as the dolphin killing, and let ops bear it."

Mugalen asked: "What is OPS?"

Bi Fang replied: "A marine protection association, the founder is Richard."

Richard nodded and continued: "As a result, the local fishermen said that it's not about money, but about preventing harmful fish."

To prevent harmful fish?

What's the meaning?

Everyone present was dumbfounded, dolphins are harmful fish?

This is also the first time Bi Fang has heard such a statement. He has only heard of pests, but never fish. It is strange.

"Yes." Richard confirmed that he was right, "That is to say, the government told them that dolphins eat too much fish in the sea, and there will be no fish to catch, so they are harmful fish, just like the ones that eat crops. Like locusts."

"Not only did I say that to the fishermen, but even the representative of the IWC, Morishita Zuji, said that at the conference."

Morishita helper, a very handsome man, always in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he always smiles when he sees everyone, talks politely, and is very refined.

As an official, he is also very talented. After all, Japan's participation in the IWC and the World Whaling Association is quite embarrassing, but he can handle it with ease.

"His job is difficult. Every day when he gets up, he has to look in the mirror to convince himself, and then go out and explain Japan's whaling policy to the world."

Richard made a bad joke.

"Since 2003, Japan has cited 'scientific data' to blame dolphins and whales for the decline in international fishery production."

Mugalen yelled: "Shameless!"

Bi Fang was also very surprised, and always felt that the reduction of fish resources was blamed on dolphins and whales. This scene seemed familiar.

Oh, isn't this the saury?

"Japan is really hateful, and we in Northern Europe have never been like this." Mugalen was filled with righteous indignation.

But after Mugalen finished speaking, everyone present all turned their attention to him.

Mu Jialun looked at the crowd: "What are you doing? Am I wrong? We also have a lot of whales there. Didn't Bi Fang encounter them last time when he was drifting at sea? But we never sell whale meat."

Bi Fang patted Mugalen on the shoulder: "Norway catches more whales than Japan every year. In addition, there is Iceland. The three of them are called the 'Big Three of Whaling'. Norway is the boss, and Japan is the boss." Two, Iceland is the third."

Mugalen immediately changed his words: "I belong to Yanggran, and it has nothing to do with the two of them. I mean, strictly speaking, Yanggran belongs to Western Europe. Yes, that's right."

Japan is notorious for its whaling activities, but it is by no means the only country doing so.

Norway and Iceland, the two Nordic brothers, are also doing this business, together with Japan.

The title of the world's number one "whale killer" is Norway rather than Japan.

In the matter of whaling, Norway is even more jaw-dropping.

Norway and Japan have different styles of doing things. Commercial whaling has been banned by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) since 1982.

After that, the Japanese continued to take advantage of the loopholes to hunt whaling under the guise of "scientific research".

In contrast, the Norwegians seem to be more "upright", they are too lazy to take advantage of loopholes, and they are too lazy to find excuses, adhering to the style of Viking pirates, you say what you say, I catch mine.

Norway kills more whales each year than Japan and Iceland combined, making it the number one "whale killer" in the world.

The harpoon they made can weigh up to 45 kilograms, can penetrate the belly of a whale at a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour, trigger the mechanism within a few milliseconds, and quickly release 100 grams of explosives. After the explosion, the harpoon will open like an umbrella. A hook wrapped around the whale meat.

This kind of explosive can destroy the internal tissues of whales, and its lethality is far greater than that of black powder.

If a whale dies "too slowly," whalers will shoot it.

Not only that, Norwegian whalers prefer to follow female whales - and most of them are pregnant with whale babies. According to a Norwegian whaling documentary, 90 percent of all captured whales are pregnant females.

Because female whales usually swim slower, slower swimmers are more likely to be hit by grenades.

If it is said that there is only a dead end for whales falling into the hands of the Japanese, then being targeted by the Norwegians is like entering purgatory.

As for Iceland, compared with Japan and Norway, it looks like a younger brother following behind them.

These three places are the main areas where Richard is active.

Dolphins are cetaceans, whales, dolphins, these three giants are all caught, and wherever dolphins are oppressed, there is this old man, even the ugly country itself is no exception.

In Icelandic supermarkets, the price of whale meat is generally 2,400 Icelandic Krona per kilogram, which is about 150 Chinese yuan. Many tourists will try it out of curiosity.

But other than that, not many people like to eat cetacean meat, and most of the meat is exported to Japan.

After all, Japan seems to have become the target of public criticism again, like an unlucky guy. In addition, the ugly country suppresses sea power and promotes Japan even more, so few people know about the other two giants.

Both Iceland and Norway are very beautiful places. The trip of geese and birds starts from the northernmost part of Norway, but many beautiful things are not necessarily beautiful in all aspects.

"Compared to Japan, Norway and Iceland's crimes are more difficult to expose, because they don't gather dolphins together, but fishing boats go out to sea and spread them out."

In any case, when it comes to whaling, the three giants, Japan, Iceland and Norway, are completely a nest of snakes and rats.

Richard said in a deep voice: "The claws that stretch out to animals will eventually reach out to ourselves."

The helmeted shrew is only the size of a mouse, but its spine is so strong that an adult can stand on its back.
