Chapter 295 Disaster

"pat"

In the dim cabin, after a slight crisp sound, Lu Feng looked at the pocket watch in his hand through the dim light of the porthole.

5:13 p.m.

It has been sailing for ten hours since the "Changshou Yamamaru" set sail from the port.

According to the information Lu Feng had inquired about before, the voyage from Dandong to Shanghai Beach takes about two and a half to three days. Lu Feng decided to take action on the second night.

At present, Lu Feng estimates that the ship is about to enter the waters around the Shandong Peninsula.

Compared with the last chimney pipe of the "Yayoi", the sailing experience of diving into the "Joushou Yamamaru" this time is much better.

Thanks to the relatively good sea conditions along the way and the "Choshou Yamamaru"'s pursuit of a smooth hull shape unlike that of a warship, Lu Feng didn't feel any bumps.

As for the cargo hold being too close to the engine room, the noise and high temperature generated by the operation of the engine are still within the tolerable range.

Especially the high temperature has become an advantage in this cold winter.

If there are any other shortcomings, the only remaining ones are dim lighting and poor ventilation. But fortunately, the smell in the cargo hold was not unpleasant. Instead, there was a strong aroma of oil.

Lu Feng had checked before and found that in addition to arms and smoke, there was also a large amount of soybean oil in the cargo hold.

Think about it, the "Changshou Shan Maru" has a carrying capacity of thousands of tons, and the total of these arms, smoke and soil is only two hundred tons. Naturally, the remaining transportation capacity cannot be said to be just empty.

You must know that soybeans and related soy products are in very short supply in the international market these days. There is a saying of "soybeans for dollars". In the past few years, soybeans once occupied the top list of the government's foreign trade exports.

However, with the occurrence of the "September 18th Incident" and the largest soybean producing area in Northeast China falling into the hands of the Japanese, the government's soybean export trade also plummeted.

Even so, in the past few years, the government still used millions of tons of soybeans to buy a new warship from the Japanese.

This shows how valuable soybeans are.

Arms, tobacco, and soybean oil, these three things seem to be a microcosm of the colonial plunder carried out by the Japanese after they invaded Northeast China.

Closing the watch cover, Lu Feng prepared to finish dinner while it was still daylight outside. Taking out the food and water he had prepared in advance, Lu Feng finished his dinner just like that.

As the sky outside gets darker and darker, when the moon begins to climb above the sea level, it means that Lu Feng's first day in the cargo hold has passed peacefully.

During this day, even if he was in the cargo hold, Lu Feng passively learned a lot about the "Changshou Yamamaru" from various conversations coming from all around.

For example, the captain of this ship is Shouichi Taniyama, a drunkard who likes to get drunk, and the chief engineer Kim Ho-hyun is a bad gambler with bad character.

Sure enough, as Liu San said, there are really no secrets between each other on the ship.

After dinner, Lu Feng lay down in the small corner he had arranged. Before the "Changshou Shanwan" arrived at the place of action, he was ready to stay still in the cargo hold to avoid being discovered.

"Baga Yalu, are you giving this food to others?"

"Kang Dang"

"Taijun, please spare my life."

"Stop fighting, stop fighting. If you hit him again, he will be killed."

Suddenly, a loud noise came over.

After Lu Feng listened for a moment, he clenched his fists.

He felt that he was afraid that he would have to change his plan of action.

Two brothers, Zhang Dahe and Zhang Erhe, are natives of Dandong. When their father was still alive when they were children, the family's life was pretty decent.

But a few years ago, the Japanese came.

Either by clever means or by plunder, they ransacked and occupied all the boatmen in Dandong Port, including the fathers of the two Zhang brothers.

The cargo ship they worked so hard to buy was snatched away by the Japanese. The father of the Zhang brothers was so angry that he became ill and passed away.

In order to support his family, Zhang Dahe had to invest in the Japanese name. Relying on his father's sailing skills since he was a child, he became a sailor on the "Changshou Yamamaru".

After his younger brother Zhang Erhe grew up, Zhang Dahe's pressure increased sharply. As the saying goes, I am a poor man who lives in poverty. Zhang Erhe is just growing up. It is really beyond his ability to rely on Zhang Dahe to feed him alone.

After much deliberation, Zhang Dahe used his wife's wealth to bribe the captain Taniyama Shouichi, and arranged for Zhang Erhe to work in the ship's kitchen as a helper.

Although both brothers were working under the Japanese, my mother was quite embarrassed at home.

What might be done? You have to make ends meet!

After Zhang Erhe got on the boat, with Zhang Dahe's help, he didn't suffer much. At most, Taniyama Shouichi would beat him a few times when he was drunk.

But I was finally full. Besides, every one of the people on the boat had not been severely beaten by Gu Shan?

In this way, the two brothers worked on the "Changshou Shanwan" for three years, and Zhang Erhe grew into a standard young man.

Zhang Dahe plans to save some money this year to help his brother get married and start a family. He has fulfilled his brother's duties and will have the face to meet Jiuquanxia's father in the future.

With expectations for the future, the two brothers embarked on this voyage.

But soon, the well-informed Zhang Dahe noticed something was wrong.

He keenly noticed that something was not right with this group of "passengers". The captain, who used to have a bad temper, had a very correct attitude when facing these people.

Even Captain Taniyama never took out the wine bottle that he never left his hand in the past.

It was obvious that the identity of this group of people was unusual.

For this reason, Zhang Dahe specially found Zhang Erhe and gave him a nice warning, asking him to pay more attention when preparing meals for these people and not to make them angry.

Although Zhang Erhe is young, he is obedient and sensible. He knows that his brother will not tell him this for no reason, so he is very careful when preparing meals.

Originally, Zhang Dahe saw that there was nothing wrong with the lunch meal, and he felt a lot more relaxed, thinking that nothing would happen.

Unexpectedly, during dinner in the evening, one of the "passengers" suddenly got angry. He not only smashed the dinner plate, but also gave Zhang Erhe who was serving the food a severe beating.

Zhang Dahe, who had been worried about this place, hurried over when he heard the noise coming from the cafeteria.

When he entered the cafeteria, what he saw was his younger brother Zhang Erhe being held by two people and being beaten and kicked by the other person.

Zhang Dahe hurriedly ran to Captain Gushan who was eating nearby and begged:

"Taijun, please spare my life."

Captain Taniyama remained unmoved and continued to eat his dinner.

Seeing that Captain Gu Shan was unwilling to do anything, Zhang Dahe ran to the men who were beating them, knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Stop fighting, stop fighting. If you hit him again, he will be killed."

"Bagayalu, get out of my way."

The attacker kicked Zhang Dahe away, and then continued to punch and kick Zhang Erhe.

Zhang Erhe's breath became visibly weaker.

"How long will it take for Tsuda-kun to kill that Chinaman?"

"I don't think it took more than three minutes."

"I'll bet five minutes."

"This Chinese guy looks stronger. I think he can last ten minutes."

At the dining table in the cafeteria, a group of Japanese watched this scene with laughter, and even started gambling to see how long it would take for Zhang Erhe to be beaten to death.

As a sailor who has been working on the "Changshou Shanwan" for many years, Zhang Dahe naturally understands Japanese. From the words of this group of people, he understood that it was not Zhang Erhe who did anything wrong that led to the beating.

It's just that these people were bored on the boat. Without entertainment activities, they took the initiative to find trouble and wanted to kill someone to "relax".

And Zhang Erhe was the unlucky guy chosen by them.

Zhang Dahe looked at his brother whose breath was gradually weakening, and then at Captain Gu Shan who was sitting beside him.

Then, he looked around again.

As far as the eye can see, there are all smiling faces.

Zhang Dahe is a little confused, why? Why can they treat their own kind so cruelly even though they are still human beings?

He just wants to live in this world, wants to take good care of his family, and wants to support his family. For such a small request, the two brothers have put aside their father's hatred and given up the family's responsibility. face.

Why? Do these Japanese still treat them like this?

Looking at his brother who was about to die, Zhang Dahe felt that a fire was lit in his heart.

He drew out his short knife, and amidst the exclamations of a group of people, he flew towards the attacker.
