Chapter eight hundred and fortieth generosity of others
These memories all came from the Griffin, so in the end, Chen Wenzhe didn't know how many ships of that golden fleet survived.
Anyway, this entire treasure ship has disappeared in the ocean for more than three hundred years, and it is still a mystery to this day.
Now Chen Wenzhe speculates that whether they are pirates or transport fleets, they should be buried in the sea.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened more than once in Spain in history.
The famous sinking of the gold fleet also occurred during this period, and also occurred after the Florida shipwreck broke out.
I'm afraid that was also a tentative attempt to transport treasure to the country, but unfortunately it failed again.
Perhaps it was that failure that prompted the move to transport the treasure back to Spain through the Pacific.
But no matter what, it failed this time.
The failure of the Gold Fleet was due to the Anglo-Dutch coalition dispatching more than 150 warships.
The enemies encountered by the Pacific Treasure Transport Fleet were no less generous.
After reading these memories, Chen Wenzhe was really a little emotional.
It doesn't matter if you don't discover it. Once you discover it, you actually discover the Spanish treasure fleet of the seventeenth century.
These fleets sank quite a few ships, many of which were regular navies issued privateering licenses by Britain and the Netherlands.
Although these are navy, they can also be considered pirates. Another characteristic of this kind of pirates is that they are extremely confident. The most important thing is that they do not have their own nest.
If they were real pirates, they would never be able to bring all their wealth on board.
These pseudo-pirates are different. They can return home, so every time they steal something, they take it away with the ship.
Although there may not be many treasures on such a pirate ship, as long as you encounter one of these pirate ships, you will definitely gain a lot.
Through the gold-covered jade pipe, Chen Wenzhe saw the nearest pirate ship to the South China Sea that sank to the bottom of the sea. He was sunk by the Griffin frigate.
Unfortunately, there were many pirate ships chasing after them. Those pirate ships disappeared into the ocean after the storm hit, and the owner of the pipe did not know their whereabouts.
Chen Wenzhe was only slightly distracted before he finished checking this important information.
In fact, it is not difficult to extract useful information in a targeted manner, and there is not much information to view in this way.
He only needs to set the information related to the treasure ship and the sinking location, and he can quickly see what he wants to know.
In this way, Chen Wenzhe quickly smoothed out the whole story.
Of course, four months of tracking and fighting must be thrilling, but unfortunately, Chen Wenzhe didn't want to see these scenes.
Almost in a blink of an eye, Chen Wenzhe returned to normal.
At this time, the officer on the ship was also distracted and thinking a lot.
His thoughts moved very quickly, and he discovered something unusual about Chen Wenzhe and others after almost thinking for a moment.
"Boss, do you want to..."
At this moment, the man who got on the boat first glanced at Chen Wenzhe and others.
His intention was very obvious, just to sweep them away.
Shaking his head, the officer said: "If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Besides, we don't have any evidence. Also, they reported it and turned in so many cultural relics. They are considered good citizens!"
"Haha, what this officer said is great. We are all good citizens, so everyone should be given a certificate, right?" Zheng Yu hit the snake again.
The officer was also aware of Zheng Yu's shamelessness.
However, he ignored Zheng Yu and looked at Chen Wenzhe.
Chen Wenzhe said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether they have these gems or not. The main thing is that they followed them out so hard that they can't work in vain, right?"
"Haha, you are still a good boss? You are generous to others!" the officer said with a smile.
"This is not generosity to others. You know, we didn't find the sunken ship, and the country can't fish these things!" Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
The officer nodded and said: "Let's return to sailing. It will rain at night, and there may be strong winds of level 6 or 7 in the surrounding sea area."
"Strong winds of level 6 or 7? Our small boat can't bear it, right?" Zheng Yu looked at Lao Zhao.
Seeing that the officer did not pursue the matter seriously, Old Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he smiled and said: "A five-hundred-ton fishing boat can only operate offshore, and it is a bit dangerous in the open sea."
"Is this offshore?" Zheng Yu asked again.
"Yes, it's offshore, but it's still a bit dangerous. Let's go back to Hong Kong!" Lao Zhao said accurately.
"Let's go, register as you go!" The officer did not return to the ship, but followed Chen Wenzhe and others as they quickly returned.
"Have a drink? We have abalone, lobster, and big crabs on the boat!"
Chen Wenzhe extended the invitation, and he did so for a purpose.
The officer hesitated a little, and he could tell that Chen Wenzhe might have lured them here with a purpose.
Even the blatant distribution of those gems was probably intentional.
"We still have a lot of conches here, and we have more general supplies. Those conchs were exchanged by local fishermen for us. One cigarette is exchanged for a barrel." Zhang Yijie said jokingly at this time.
"Okay!" the officer agreed.
People have made it very clear that these seafood are not valuable here.
So, Zhang Yijie is still smart and sophisticated!
After drinking a bottle of beer and chatting for more than ten minutes, everyone became familiar with each other.
After taking the last sip and putting down the bottle, the officer stopped taking action. He just looked at Chen Wenzhe.
Chen Wenzhe smiled and said: "I really have something to do. If possible, I would like to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation? Salvage the sunken ship?" the officer said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe nodded and said: "It's not in our country's waters, nor is it a shipwreck in our country."
"Is the information accurate?" Legion raised his eyebrows.
"It must be accurate!" Chen Wenzhe said with certainty.
It's not like he only knows the whereabouts of one sunken ship. Even if some of them are salvaged from the water, it will be fine. He can just salvage another ship.
The Spaniards were very particular about the battlefield they chose for the decisive battle, because the sea area was neither deep nor shallow, only twenty or thirty meters deep.
At this depth, it would be difficult for pirates to salvage it given the technological level at the time.
However, as long as they are given time, although it will not be easy for them to salvage it in the future, they will be able to fish it out after all.
In this way, it will be easier for Chen Wenzhe to salvage these treasure ships that were planned to self-sink.
However, once you leave your own waters and enter the high seas, it is a world where strength is king.
If you don't have any strength, if you go out, you won't be swallowed up by others, and not even a bit of scum will be left.
And they often disappear without a trace. Even if the country wants to support you, there will be no target for revenge.
The sea is so chaotic.
Don’t think that since we are in the 21st century, the sea is safe.
On these vast oceans, it has been the same from ancient times to the present, the weak eat the strong!
