On November 5, 1979, the blue sea was filled with scenery, and in the afterglow of the sunset, a huge oil tanker was advancing on the sea.

"Grandpa, look, the sea is so beautiful! We are moving forward on the sea. Look at how fast the seagulls fly, like arrows. I really want to have wings like them!"

"Child, don't run too fast. It's strong wind at sea. Be careful not to catch a cold!"

"Sakurako, slow down, you run too fast, grandpa can't keep up!"

"Haha...haha...grandfather, come and chase me...quick..."

The three words "Yokoda" are written on the bow of the tanker. This is a medium-sized oil tanker from Yokohama, Japan. In October, they set off from Japan across the Strait of Malacca to the Middle East and transported a large amount of oil. For island countries with extremely lack of resources, no matter how much energy is transported there, it is not enough. It is completely imagined that when this tanker arrives at Yokohama, it will be snatched away by various Japanese companies and will soon be cashed in a hundred banknotes.

"Sakurazi had such a great time. The weather today is really good. Finally, don't be tortured by the wind and rain anymore!"

"Yes, it makes Sakurako smile happily, and even my mood gets better. I will return to China in more than ten days. At this time, the cherry blossoms are blooming so beautifully. I really want to go to Mount Fuji to take a look!"

"But, I always feel that the road is too peaceful. Is there something wrong with it?"

"Qiyama-kun, I remember that when you went there, we have left the Strait of Malacca, which is the area of ​​the Lion City Government. Although it is the high seas, the Lion City Government has always been a good coast guard. Even at the most dangerous time, it is safer. Don't be too scared, I believe the road will be very safe."

The sea is sunny and the tanker is in harmony.

On the bow of the boat, Sakurako Yamashima was running happily in an orange autumn suit, behind her grandfather Yoko Yamashima was following closely with a kind smile. In the captain's room of the tanker, Captain Yamashima Ryuyun was chatting with his eldest mate Aihara Saiyama. When Ryuyun Yamashima's eyes fell on Sakurako Yamashima who was running happily, his face was even more gentle.

"Hara Ka must also miss Sakurako very much, after all, I haven't seen her for almost two months!"

Seeing the gaze of Yamashima Ryuyun, Aihara Saiyama said to him with understanding: "It's really not easy for us who stay at the sea every day. We not only have to separate from our families, but also have to be frightened and scared at the sea often!"

"For the motherland and for the future of our Yamato nation, we have to bear no matter how hard it is!"

He nodded and agreed to Aihara Saiyama's words, but Yamashima Yunlong still showed a firm look on his face: "Whenever he sees the prosperity of the motherland and thinks of the strength of our country and the fruits of our hard work, I think these are nothing!"

"Yes, it would be perfect if one day we can regain control of this route and no longer be economically disturbed by foreign countries!"

Hearing the words of Yamashima Ryuuyun, Aihara Saiyama couldn't help but feel awe. In Japan, they were all radical nationalists. Especially for living in small places, year-round earthquakes and volcanoes, they actually didn't want Japan to become stronger one day so that they could find a new place to survive. Why is it not their dream that Japanese soldiers who had galloped forty years ago in this sea area?

"Sakiyama-kun, let's work hard! I believe that one day we will reach this level!"

Yamashima Longyun nodded fiercely and said with confidence: "You know that with our efforts, our country's economy is developing rapidly. Once one day our economy surpasses the United States, it may not be restricted by Americans anymore. Maybe we will be free again. At that time, everything is possible!"

In fact, Yamashima's words are not a dream. You should know that in the early 1980s, Japan developed extremely fast after the war. Now its economic strength is developing rapidly. There is a great hope of becoming a second economy besides the United States, surpassing Britain, Germany and France to become a second economy. A large number of Japanese companies are rushing to invest in the United States. It is their realistic practice of using the strength of economic power to get rid of the constraints of the United States.

"Do you know? There is a real estate company in Tokyo that is about to build the tallest building in the world. It will become a symbol of our great Japan and also represents our Yamato nation's spirit of self-improvement. I am just thinking that as long as this company starts to pre-sale, I will prepare to go to Tokyo to buy a set. I really hope that one day I can stand in the clouds of Tokyo and see this beautiful sea area. I believe that we will be more confident at that time and no longer have to be afraid of pirates on this shipping line!"

As a captain who has been carrying out energy transportation for Japan for many years, Yamashima Ryuyun is actually very clear about the importance of this shipping line to Japan. At the same time, although he is confident now, it is actually because he thinks that the sea area is safe now. But in fact, they have always been worried about this shipping line for so many years, and they can't get rid of the nightmare here at all.

Even Long Yun of Yamadao knew very well that although there seemed to be no pirate accidents in the seas of Southeast Asia in the past two months, after this period of calm, the pirates here will definitely become rampant. As long as their merchant ships do not have their own warships to escort, they will not be able to say they are truly safe in one day.

However, if they want to truly allow their country's warships to escort, how could they escape the various military constraints they suffered after their defeat? Although the Americans strongly support them economically, they will never let go easily. If Japan wants to become strong, it must also make the United States economically depend on it, or have enough strength to make the United States make concessions. This is what Yamashima Longyun thought.

Thinking of the world's tallest building that Tokyo is about to build, and thinking about the vigorous development of Japan's economy over the years, Yamashima Ryuuyun didn't even feel that his family had worked hard to travel on the sea after separation and hard work. His eyes were full of excitement. He believed that this day would definitely not be far away.

"Sakurako, it's getting dark, let's go back to the cabin as soon as possible!"

At this time, Sakurako, who seemed to be tired of playing on the boat, was holding grandpa Yokoichi Yamashima, had lost interest in the sea. Yokoichi Yamashima took back the memories of his speeding up the Japanese galloping in this sea forty years ago. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes and looked at Sakurako and said, "Your father has prepared a rich dinner for you in the cabin. There is your favorite chocolate cake. Don't you want to go back soon?"

"I think so, I want to go back to the cabin as soon as possible. I'm afraid it will be dark!"

Sakurako said tiredly, and heard that it was dark, and then she saw the dusk approaching, and a hint of horror suddenly appeared on her face.

"Sakurako? Why are you afraid of darkness?"

A hint of worry flashed across Yamashima Yoko's face, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly as he looked at the fear in Sakurako's eyes.

"I...I heard that it's dark...when it's dark, there will be pirates!"

A trace of confusion flashed in Sakurazi's clear eyes, but she asked seriously: "Grandpa, I heard that pirates like to rob our Japanese merchant ships the most. Why is that? And... Will they come today?"

"Sakurako, you are so stupid! Believe me, with our strong Japanese government as a backing, no one dares to rob our ships! The people of the inferior nation often envy our wealth, so they want to take a sinful hand on us, but they will never succeed. Our Yamato nation is always the strongest! They will never dare to come!"

Yamashima's face showed a bit of ferociousness, which made people vaguely see the charm of this old man wearing Japanese military uniforms throughout Southeast Asia. At this moment, he did not forget to promote the ideas of militarism to his descendants. They believed that as long as they continue to educate this generation after generation, their nation will one day reach the peak of victory.

"Is that true? I think it's the case, these people are really shameful. Don't they know how to work hard to get wealth?"

Sakurako's innocent voice came from the bow of the boat. The girl's mind moved away in a flash. Seeing Yamashima Ryuyun waved to her in the distance, she forgot the pirate's worries and jumped over happily and said, "Dad, tell me quickly, how long will it take for us to get to Yokohama? Do you know? Yesterday I dreamed of my mother again, I really miss her!"

"Sakurako, you will see your mother soon, I promise you..."

The night became darker and darker, and the sea surface was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the cabin also showed dazzling light. Everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful. Maybe it was like what Yamashima Ryuyun and Yamashima Yokochi said. No pirates would come to patrol their merchant ships, or even... Maybe they didn't dare to come to their "Big Japan" merchant ships at all. Besides, it seems that the pirates have become more honest in the past two months. There are coast guards patrolling in Lion City. Will that pirate gang come to pick them up in front of them?

However, unfortunately, when their merchant ship was late at night, most of the crew and passengers enjoyed a rich dinner. Except for leaving the staff to continue working, the Japanese crew members with strong disciplines gradually entered their dreams. When the lights on the merchant ship went out one by one, no one noticed that there was a speedboat that looked pitifully small in the sea appeared behind them.

In the night, the speedboat appears and disappears from time to time, occasionally flashing a few rays of light on the sea, as if sending a signal to someone, but no matter where the Japanese merchant ship moves, it can always follow behind. It is like an experienced hunter, following his prey tightly, as if waiting for an important moment of one blow to kill...!~!
