The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 420 - 246 Submarine Ah... (Subscription Request)_2
"I still can’t make it out."
"What model is this, after all?"
"Wait, if I’m not mistaken, it looks like a Tsunami-class Submarine from the Japs."
Basically, no one could identify what model of the submarine it was since it was quite an old model, and most people hadn’t studied them.
However, there were netizens interested in this field who, after careful scrutiny, realized it resembled a submarine they were familiar with.
That’s how they came to analyze and deduce it.
"It’s not a nuclear submarine," a viewer expressed in disappointment. They were more eager to land a nuclear submarine; that would have been thrilling.
But most people were furious.
"What? This is a Jap submarine?"
"Damn it, these Japs have crept into our waters again."
When everyone heard it was a Jap submarine, their anger was palpable.
After all, the grudges between us and them have been long-standing, and just mentioning it infuriated everyone.
A torrent of curses began.
It was an old-fashioned submarine, and no one knew when it had trespassed into our territory.
The mini unmanned submersible circled around this conventional old submarine. Although it was unclear why the submarine sank here or what accident had occurred,
by now, after such a long time, the bodies inside had long been reduced to skeletons.
Fang Hao hadn’t thought of that until a viewer brought it up...
"Um... could there be bodies inside the submarine?"
"Considering how long this submarine has been here, it’s likely been quite some time, and the bodies inside must have turned into skeletons... wait."
The viewer, who was speaking, quickly realized this and responded immediately.
"Does this mean... the streamer has caught bodies again?"
"More specifically, skeletons."
"The White Bone Great Saint has risen again!"
Instantly, everyone’s attention shifted back to Fang Hao.
After seeing this scene, Fang Hao could only twitch the corner of his mouth.
Shit, this too counts.
But he was helpless.
Catching a submarine like this meant there was no escape for those inside.
Deep-sea submarine accidents usually meant little chance of survival. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Clearly, the submarine they had caught had met with an accident, and no one had escaped.
However, considering the submarine’s intact exterior, it meant the accident hadn’t caused an explosion or impact with anything.
It was an internal submarine accident.
Such accidents would require further investigation to ascertain.
The submarine was still underwater, and whether it should be salvaged remained unknown.
Considering it was just a conventional submarine and decades old, there wasn’t much value, and it wasn’t likely we would spend a huge cost to salvage it.
Unless... the Japs were to pay for the salvage operation.
But those were concerns for later.
For now, everyone was focused on this submarine.
"I wonder what kind of accident caused the submarine to sink here."
"They got what they deserved. These Japs thought their submarines could infiltrate our waters, but the Dragon King is punishing them."
People remained curious about how the submarine ended up here and what had happened to it.
Such an incident had never been reported before.
But thinking about it, it was clear that the submarine’s presence here had a purpose other than mere chance since there had been no word from the Japs about it.
The unmanned submersible had scoured the sea bed for a long time, and everyone had gathered information about the submarine.
Although not 100% certain, at least... the basic information was clear.
The Japs lurking in the live stream reported the discovery immediately, and a dusty, secret report was uncovered.
This report contained the details of the submarine accident.
Additionally, all information about this submarine was recorded in a special file.
Despite decades passing, the Japs still needed to recover the submarine.
They had to salvage it and bring it back.
If it were in their own waters or international waters, they could operate freely.
But the submarine was in someone else’s territory now, complicating matters.
They couldn’t simply go and salvage it; they would need agreement from our side.
Their only option was to inquire and see if they could be allowed to send people over.
The secrets carried on this submarine, they needed to retrieve them.
But their ideas were also seen through by us.
We announced that the salvage operation had to be our responsibility, but the funding for the salvage was to be borne by the "Little Sun" side themselves.
Moreover, this wasn’t a negotiation, but a notification.
"Little Sun" had no choice but to pay those funds; they could only grit their teeth and swallow their pride.
Otherwise, the submarine might just have to continue lying at the bottom of the sea.
...
Who could have imagined that a mere fishing competition could reel in a submarine?
The people on the other fishing boats were all dumbstruck upon hearing the news.
That... was simply too incredible.
"A submarine??"
Everyone on the other boats was stunned when they heard the news,
Thinking they’d heard wrong.
Then they suddenly remembered that there was one more participant in this fishing competition, that is Fang Hao, and they immediately came to their senses.
Damn.
I almost forgot about this person’s special ability.
With him around, it seemed normal to catch just about anything.
But hearing that a submarine was caught this time felt a bit outrageous.
Even a submarine had been hooked.
This ability was just too terrifying.
"Where is their boat?"
"Can we see it?"
Many people stopped what they were doing, eager to see what a caught submarine looked like.
But the submarine was still underwater; how could they possibly see it.
As for those on the same boat as Fang Hao, a crowd was drawn over, all spectating from the sidelines.
Being closer, they had a better view of the situation.
One by one, they crowded around, looking at the undersea view displayed on the screen, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
It was their first time witnessing Fang Hao catch a submarine from such a close distance; the shock of it was truly indescribable.
"That’s just too strong..."
Indeed, they all admired Fang Hao greatly.
To be able to catch a submarine.
It was a pity that the only regret was that it was just an ordinary submarine, and also an older model at that.
If it were a nuclear submarine, particularly if it were an Ohio-class nuclear submarine from the "Eagles," or the "North Wind God" type from "Big Furry"... then perhaps it would have been a different story.
But the difficulty of that was too great.
It was not so easy to fish up such a thing.
Unless there was an accident with a nuclear submarine, then there would be a chance.
Otherwise, there would be no opportunity to catch one.
Everyone merely entertained the thought for a moment and quickly dismissed it from their minds.
It was better to focus on this submarine they had caught.
Before long, after raising the alarm, the Coast Guard Ship arrived again.
This time it was an acquaintance, Captain Han.
The arrival of the tens-of-thousands-ton Coast Guard Ship also astonished the crowd of anglers.
Such a big ship, and so close.
It truly was a shocking experience.
And this was only a Coast Guard Ship.
"Wouldn’t it mean that in a few years, the ’Liao Fishing 16’ will also become a Coast Guard Ship?"
The crowd muttered to themselves.
"We meet again."
In fact, when Captain Han heard the news of someone catching a submarine, he instinctively thought of Fang Hao.
Because the only person who could have this ability was Fang Hao.
Besides, Fang Hao’s identity was indeed special, and Captain Han knew that; he was aware that Fang Hao’s identity information had now been classified as top secret.
The previous status of the records was merely A-level, but recently it had been upgraded to absolute secrecy.
This meant that, apart from a few individuals, no one else could look up Fang Hao’s information anymore.
When Captain Han heard that someone had caught a submarine, he naturally assumed it was Fang Hao’s doing.
Once he arrived at the scene and saw Fang Hao, he became even more certain.
Apart from him, who else could have accomplished this?
