Tobe Island, which is almost the southernmost part of Palau. Compared with the Kite Village on the south side of the island, where the entire population of the island is gathered, the beach on the north side of the island is not only more delicate, but also quieter and more private, so you don’t have to worry about being blocked.
People disturb.
On the beach shrouded in bright sunshine and brackish sea breeze, sisters Suisui and Katenka, as well as Lola who helped run errands, plus Aniya who was called over to watch the fun, and even the guide and translator who had been responsible for these days.
It's late autumn, but now everyone has put on swimsuits of different styles, chasing waves on the beach to their heart's content.
The only person who had the opportunity to appreciate this beautiful scenery was Wei Ran, who was hiding under a sun umbrella and holding a telescope more than 20 meters away from the beach.
Of course, instead of saying that he was holding a telescope to appreciate the scenery of different sizes, it was more that he was guarding against Aniya, who had the same hobby as him.
Regardless of the actual situation, Xia Shushi, who was particularly envious of this, was destined to never have the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful scenery of sunshine, beach and bikini.
As early as the night when he sent Lola to Palau, he took another flight to Hawaii without stopping, met up with the young rich woman Kou Kou, and was invited to be the spokesperson and historical consultant hired by Tan Tu, the descendant of the person involved.
Wei Ran was even extra relieved to hand over the notes left by Hawks that he had unearthed in advance, and he would hand them over to Kou Kou, and disclose the entire contents at any time if necessary.
This job is not difficult, but it is an extremely precious opportunity for Xia Shushi. With the help of this experience, he may become a famous historian in the future. But the most important thing is to
Of course, the little devil-faced activities are only fun if good brothers come together.
On the other hand, after these days of fermentation, Shota Izakaya has become Palau's "Internet celebrity store" with the help of two Hella organizations, one explicit and one secret.
Nowadays, not only tourists traveling in Palau will come here to visit, but even some Japanese locals in Palau will go there to have a meal and look at those old photos. While reminiscing about the past, they will not hesitate to spend the high price of 10 US dollars each.
, buy a postcard with an old photo printed on it, stamp it, and send it to relatives and friends in faraway places.
Of course, for the two owners who increased the price of postcards tenfold, after accepting interviews with several domestic media, they were not only confident but prepared to clear out the second floor of the izakaya that is not open to the public for the reception.
customers, and is even preparing to open a branch in Nagasaki, the hometown of Zhaohe.
For this reason, Chinatsu Kano, the only one in her family studying in Nagasaki, had to leave Palau when the izakaya business was at its peak, end her vacation early and rush back to Nagasaki. With a small amount of working capital, she was looking for a suitable branch to open.
of venue.
As for whether her uncle and two brothers drove her away so as not to take away their interest in being interviewed, I am afraid only the person involved knows it.
After all, nowadays, the photo wall as a sign in their store and the stories in those old photos are understood by more and more people, and Monica and the Hela organization she leads are also holding people who do not know the truth
Netizens overwhelmingly praised the protagonist in the story and the thrilling battle the protagonist experienced.
Just when the Internet was about to praise Akira and his nephew Kano Jiro in the old photos to the sun, Hawks's son Tatanka also rented a house with the help of people arranged by Qin II.
A large enough yacht, with the Indian helpers he found and several media reporters that Carlos' lawyer helped him find, arrived at Helen Reef with completely legal procedures.
Witnessed by many cameras, the fine white sand was dug up by the Indian boys with their bare hands and piled up behind them bit by bit.
Gradually, they first discovered a conspicuous red sea anchor bag. After Tatanka opened it under the witness of reporters, he immediately pointed to the glass bottle filled with maple syrup and said with certainty, "This
It’s made by my family! This must be the maple syrup produced by my father!”
As soon as these words were spoken, a series of click-click sounds of the shutter were heard all around.
A moment later, Tatanka carefully opened the long Japanese lunch box, revealing gold bars, rings, cash and other items inside.
Still waiting for the reporters around him to finish taking photos, Tatanka waved to the Indian boys around him.
After getting the signal, these North American aboriginal boys started digging with their bare hands again.
"found it!"
With an exclamation, an Indian boy who was Tatanka's nephew by blood excitedly dug out a red and white rubber pontoon bag tied tightly at both ends from the wet sand.
Looking at the surrounding cameras, Tatanka stabilized the pipe ax that belonged to Captain Evans on his waist, then tightened the rubber gloves he had just put on, then took out the ax and carefully scratched it.
Opening the paracord that could break at any time, he took out the 1911 pistol belonging to Vice Captain Sterling from the rubber float bag less than one meter long, and then took out a rusty pistol.
Southern Pistol.
Finally, he took out the Carter revolver that belonged to Captain Evans, and carefully placed it side by side with the two weapons on the canvas spread by his companions on the sand.
While the reporters were taking pictures, Tatanka took out a simple sextant made of a compass, umbrella cloth and wooden sticks from the floating bag, as well as a package tied tightly with umbrella rope and umbrella cloth.
.
After untying the parachute cord and untying the umbrella cloth, it looked like a box game inside, with an anchor bag also tied tightly with parachute cord.
Continuing to untie it, everyone present discovered that in addition to some black charcoal blocks, there was also a waterproof notepad and a relatively well-preserved pencil wrapped in an umbrella cloth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Suddenly, the clicking sound of the shutter accompanied by the dazzling flash completely filled the artificially enclosed annular space.
"Mr. Tatanka, please open it and let us take a look!" a male reporter holding a microphone couldn't help but said.
After looking at the surrounding cameras, Tatanka waved to his tribesmen. Immediately, two young men worked together to bring over an aluminum alloy outdoor table and spread a clean tablecloth on it.
Instructing the reporters around him to step back slightly, Tatanka slowly placed the waterproof notepad on it, slowly opened the first page, and carefully read the experiences recorded on it.
In his slightly hoarse voice, the sound of shutters around him almost never stopped, and the not-so-thick notepad was also flipping through the pages.
In the end, Tatanka was silent for a moment after reading the last page of the diary. He looked at the surrounding cameras and said seriously, "Now I can confirm that this is the cemetery where the last three crew members of the Johnston are buried. Everything here
, all consistent with what was recorded in the diary left by my father.
So ladies and gentlemen, next I will have to suspend the excavation work here to make a phone call. In addition, according to the confidentiality agreement we signed in advance, all the discoveries here cannot be disclosed for the time being. Otherwise, I
I believe that Lawyer Carlos will definitely go to the companies you work for and ask for a sky-high liquidated damages in accordance with the agreement."
Before he could finish his words, the ten Indians who had followed him immediately joined hands and surrounded the grave pit in the center, which was protected by them. The reporters also took a step back knowingly.
At the same time, Tatanka also called his daughter Tantu and described the findings in detail.
After Tantu hung up the hands-free satellite phone and translated what her father conveyed in English into French, Kou Kou immediately looked at Xia Shushi, who was sitting opposite.
Seeing this, Xia Shushi finally opened the backpack that he had been holding in his arms when sleeping these days, and pushed the copy of Hawkes' notes that Wei Ran had dug out in advance, along with the cans and bottles containing the notes, to the person sitting opposite.
Koko, at the same time, earnestly asked in English, "Wei... Victor asked me to tell you that this note left by Mr. Hawkes was written by Koko herself on the redwood tree at Sugar Maple Grove Farm.
Found, all of our current investigation results are based on this unexpected discovery of this notebook.
Miss Koko, and Miss Tantu, I have familiarized you with the history of the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Samar many times these days, so after reading this note, you can call downstairs.
Mr. Lawyer, ask him to help make appointments with media reporters to disclose what you found on your farm."
After listening to Tantu's translation, Koko immediately said, "Thank Victor and Aurora for me, and tell them for me that we will start the next step as planned right away."
"I will convey it truthfully"
Xia Shushi stood up as he spoke, took out his mobile phone, connected it to the authenticator that Weiran had given him, and sent an email.
At the same time, when Koko and Tantu saw the photos and records contained in the notes left by Hawkes, they not surprisingly covered their mouths and let out uncontrollable retching.
Under a long stretch of parasols on the beach on the north shore of Tobe Island, the southernmost tip of Palau, Anfiya waved her satellite phone towards Wei Ran, who was sitting on a lounge chair across from her, "Boss, it's time to start.
"
"knew"
While Wei Ran was talking, he picked up a bottle of cold beer from the insulator and touched Suisui next to him, and said with a smile, "The fun is about to begin."
"Will Silly Me really send a ship here?"
After Suisui took a sip of beer, she picked up a pack of braised eggs and tore them open. She gave them to Wei Ran and asked, "They won't pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend they haven't seen the news, right?"
"It's impossible. They won't let go of such a coveted good thing."
Wei Ran took the stewed egg and took a bite, "But I don't know which ship I will send, but this is a rare good thing that shows the accuracy of the disease. Even if they bring the newly commissioned USS Ford aircraft carrier over, I will
It’s not surprising.”
"That's right," Suisui said, with a look of anticipation on her face.
Just two days later, Xia Shushi, who had already followed Kou Kou on a flight from Hawaii to Guam, called.
"The U.S. Navy decided to send an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to Helen Island to pick up Captain Evans and return home."
On the phone, Xia Shushi paused and saw that Wei Ran didn't respond, so he took the initiative and asked, "Guess which ship it is?"
"I don't even know how many destroyers the United States has. How do I know which ship it is?"
Wei Ran replied nonchalantly, but in fact he focused all his attention on the grave pit not far away guarded by Indian boys.
At this time, he had already arrived at Helen Island, and Suisui and others, led by the beautiful translator Wan Qiu, had already taken a sightseeing helicopter back to the main island of Palau yesterday morning. Even an hour ago, they had already landed.
Got on a flight to Philippines.
"It's the USS Halsey, DDG-97," Xia Shushi on the other end of the phone said and looked behind him with a strange expression.
"puff!"
Wei Ran, who almost choked, spat out all the hot cocoa he had poured into his mouth. He coughed and said, "What did you call that destroyer just now? The Halsey? Even Kuchazi couldn't catch up with that destroyer.
Halsey on?!”
"That's Hal... Hey! There's a destroyer named after him!"
After Xia Shushi finished speaking, he looked behind him again, "You won't believe it. Now I, Kou Kou, Tan Tu, and lawyer Carlos and some media reporters are on the deck of this ship now, and we are already
We have set off from Guam. According to the American soldiers, we will definitely be able to reach Helen Reef early tomorrow morning at the latest."
“The U.S. Navy is on drugs?”
Wei Ran muttered secretly. He really couldn't understand why the US Navy would send a destroyer named Halsey.
Of course, it would make sense if we insist on asking Halsey to take his soldiers home. But the question is, who made Captain Evans and the other three unable to return home? Didn’t the U.S. Navy have some AC numbers?
?
"I don't know if they are taking drugs or not."
Xia Shushi said with some gloating, "But it is obvious that they are not planning to hide the things recorded in that note this time, but are planning to make news directly on this ship after picking them up.
Press conference.”
After a pause, Xia Shushi continued, "Lawyer Carlos asked me to remind you to be prepared. When we arrive, the reporters on the ship will interview you. In short, Kou Kou puts all the trouble of speaking publicly to
You and Sister Tantu are together."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." After Wei Ran said that, he hung up the phone with a weird look on his face.
After pouring himself another cup of scalding hot cocoa, Wei Ran raised the cup toward the grave pit protected by the Indian boys in the distance and muttered a joke, "Gentlemen, you got lost.
Halsey has finally been found, and he will even be responsible for sending you home."
After saying that, he took a sip of hot cocoa, picked up a hermit crab with a beautiful shell on top, weighed it, rounded his arms, and threw it into the calm lagoon.
