After hugging the tail of the fish

Lao Wang's words sounded a little careless.

But Yu Guiyang was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"As early as 30 years ago, fishermen discovered the existence of mermaids. There was a lot of trouble at that time, but after the country sent search boats to search carefully, it was announced that no mermaids existed." Wang Yongjie looked into the distance, his voice flickering. Recently, "But at that time, the search ship saw the mermaid."

More than 30 years ago, he was not born yet, how could Pharaoh know this?

Yu Guiyang looked confused, but he didn't interrupt Wang Yongjie's words.

"The divers who searched the ship took photos of the mermaid and brought them back to experts for research. After identification, this is a newly discovered species. Because the upper body is the same as a human, but the lower body is a fish tail, so it is named Mermaid " Wang Yongjie looked at Yu Guiyang, "Just like you."

"Old Wang, are you drunk or..." Seriously?

Wang Yongjie smiled: "I will only tell you these words now. In the future, no matter what the occasion, I will never admit that I said these words."

Yu Guiyang's heart skipped a beat, he finally realized that what Lao Wang said was the truth.

But it shouldn't be, how could Pharaoh know this?

Wang Yongjie naturally knew what Yu Guiyang was thinking, he sighed: "Don't forget, I signed a non-disclosure agreement before going to the island."

As a guardian of the island, he must obey all the arrangements of the state and must not reveal state secrets.

"Before I came here, I was given a task. In addition to guarding the seahorse beach and guarding against illegal entry from other countries, once a new marine species is detected, I must report it in time. You should have guessed that new marine species naturally include The mermaid is included." He spoke slowly, as if he wanted Yu Guiyang to remember his words firmly.

Yu Guiyang understood that the old Wang guarded not only this island, but also all the marine life in the South China Sea.

Including mermaids, that is to say, there are other new species in this South China Sea, but for various reasons, he has no authority to know.

Wang Yongjie continued: "The appearance of the mermaid shocked the country's top officials. Because this creature is too similar to humans, once it is announced, it will face many moral and ethical issues. At that time, the country was in the period of reform and opening up. , the higher-ups don't want to cause extra problems, so they suppressed this news."

"Later they found out that this was the right choice, because not only China, but also some countries have also noticed the traces of mermaids, but they all chose to lure them away. way, using mermaids for profit."

"Wait, you said that other countries also know about the existence of mermaids..." Yu Guiyang's pupils trembled, "Which countries can you tell me?"

Wang Yongjie: "The mermaid's file is a top-secret file of the state. I can only know about it, and there is no way to know more. You should have seen a lot of specious news about the discovery of a mermaid on the Internet. In fact, some of them are not just speculation by the media. It’s about testing the public’s acceptance.”

Yu Guiyang swallowed, and said with difficulty: "Are they planning to make it public?"

"Now is the right time to make it public, isn't it?" Wang Yongjie said meaningfully.

Yes, if China chooses to be the first to disclose the existence of mermaids when all countries have not made it public, it will definitely cause an uproar.

The United Nations will definitely discuss the rights and interests of the mermaid species.

As the first country to discover the mermaid, China can take the initiative in this turmoil and win more benefits for the country.

What's more, today's China already has a certain right to speak. When the world's attention is focused, she can lead the discovery of new species and the formulation of subsequent rules, which is enough to add a lot of color to her rise.

But among them, there is no guarantee how much benefits the mermaid can get.

When the mermaid is moved to the bright side and is no longer covered with a veil of mystery, no one can say whether it is good or bad for this group.

Seeing Yu Guiyang's thoughtful look, Wang Yongjie knew that he understood what he meant.

Talking with smart people is like this, some things don't need to be said too thoroughly, you can stop when you know the other party understands.

Yu Guiyang was already dumbfounded by the amount of information revealed in Wang Yongjie's words.

He knew that Lao Wang's non-disclosure agreement was signed at the highest level, but he didn't expect that Lao Wang even knew about this.

State secrets are divided into three levels: top secret, top secret, and secret. Among them, top secret is the highest level, and thereafter it decreases gradually.

Unless otherwise specified, Top Secret shall not exceed 30 years.

The level of secrecy of the mermaid is still top secret after 30 years, which is enough to prove the importance attached to it by the higher authorities.

Once the news about the mermaid is made public, it may not have much impact on ordinary people, but the biggest impact will be on various countries.

Everyone wants to occupy this species resource, because the period when the rights and interests of mermaids have not yet been perfected is the period when it is easiest to take advantage of loopholes.Under the influence of national power, the living environment of mermaids will be further compressed, and what will happen to the already precarious group is unpredictable.

Who can speak for the mermaid?

In other words, which country is willing to stand in the perspective of mermaids and think about them?

Probably not.

It is not that he is too pessimistic, but that the country has a national standpoint, and only when the interests of the country are protected first can other considerations be considered.

Considering that whales are powerful enough, they have also been shown to be sentient sea animals.

But after so many years, aren't humans still hunting them?It was not until the number was endangered that regulations were introduced to prohibit whaling.

Even so, there are still some countries that try to take advantage of loopholes in different ways.

So what about mermaids, do mermaids have to use their blood and lives to defend their rights and interests for decades, or even hundreds of years?

No, it shouldn't be like this, there must be a better solution.

"Old Wang, do you know when the country will announce the news about the mermaid?" Yu Guiyang asked.

Wang Yongjie shook his head regretfully: "Sorry, I don't know. Even if I knew, I couldn't tell you. This is a state secret, and I must abide by it."

"I see."

"And," Wang Yongjie continued, "what you should worry about is not only when our country will announce it, but also think about whether other countries are planning to announce it. Maybe today, or maybe tomorrow, It could happen at any time."

It's like a sword of Damocles hanging over your head, you don't know when it will fall, but you know it will.

Just desperate.

"You should be thankful that this is a special period, and every country is struggling to deal with emergencies. Compared with people's lives, whether the mermaid species exists is not that important. So you still have a breather Time." Wang Yongjie said.

Not only the arrival of a special period, but also the international situation where countries check and balance each other, also brings the possibility for mermaids to survive in the cracks.

In this case, it is reasonable for the country not to announce the existence of mermaids.

But this does not make Yu Guiyang relax his vigilance, because the top-secret mermaid files that have not been changed in 30 years are enough to prove that the country attaches great importance to mermaids.

Of course he is willing to believe that his motherland will stand on a relatively fair stand.

But he couldn't believe that other countries were eyeing the tiger, and those organizations hiding in the dark, the filthy people who coveted the mermaid.

He found to his dismay that, at least if this situation continued, his country could not save him, nor could it save the mermaid group.

Mermaids will usher in a catastrophe.

"Actually, I should have reported it the first time I met you. This is my promise to the country and my duty." Wang Yongjie said softly, holding the wine bottle in his hand.

Yu Guiyang apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Wang, I made it difficult for you."

Wang Yongjie laughed loudly: "Difficult? No, I am not embarrassed. Until now, I have not regretted what I did for a second. I believe Hua'er thinks the same as me."

Facing Yu Guiyang's incomprehensible gaze, Wang Yongjie shrugged his shoulders: "I saved two guys with mermaid tails, but I'm short-sighted. How could I know that they are mermaids and not playing cosplay? I have lived with two mermaids for a long time, am I wrong? No, I am just being cautious, and risking my life for the sake of the country. I am still loyal, and my faith will never fade. "

Yu Guiyang: "..." Damn it, this is okay?

"Guiyang," he put away the smile on his face, "I'm not telling you this to make you feel hopeless, nor to make you panic all the time. I know you're very smart, so I'll tell you all of this. You, you must think of a way that is good for the mermaid and for you, right?"

"I only have one younger brother. I have already lost you once. Neither your sister-in-law nor I want to lose you again."

The author has something to say: Yangyang, you can always trust your motherland.

The premise is to let the motherland know more about this ethnic group.

The special period is actually the epidemic, which can be regarded as a small linkage with reality, but this article does not have any preliminaries and follow-up plots related to the epidemic, so I don’t plan to go into details, just treat it as a big background.
