"President Bai, Brother Tang and I are chatting." In front of so many people, Qin Feng still addressed Bai Zhentian very formally.
"Hello, President!"
Seeing Bai Zhentian come in, some people who were sitting in the cabin also stood up, and even the unruly Bettina said hello politely.
Most of them are in their twenties and thirties. In the years when they were growing up, Bai Zhentian's prestige in Hongmen was at its peak, and he was definitely considered their idol.
"Sit down, everyone, sit down..."
Bai Zhentian's furrowed brows did not unfurl, but he looked at Tang Jun and asked, "Tang Jun, how are you? What clues have you figured out?"
As the brains of the Hongmen mercenary group, Tang Jun never made mistakes when formulating tactics, so Bai Zhentian wanted to hear Tang Jun's opinion and see his judgment on this matter.
"President, there are too few clues."
After hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Tang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "There was no news when the ship disappeared, and even the positioning system on the ship failed. If it was really man-made, then the other party's power would be no less than
Under Hongmen..."
Tang Jun knew that the ship's escorts were all from the American Raytheon Company, and many of them were special forces soldiers who had retired from the Marine Corps.
Although there are only a dozen of them, with their fighting prowess, even the pirates roaming the sea may not be able to get much from them.
But even under such circumstances, the ship escorting the arms disappeared silently from people's sight, which was really surprising.
Through its relationship with Raytheon, Hongmen once used military satellites to conduct a large-scale scan of the sea area where the incident occurred, but no trace of the ship was found, and it disappeared completely.
In Asia, apart from the military of various countries, the only people with such power in Asia are the Sankou Group. However, Tang Jun did not dare to make a rash guess, because this would lead to an all-out war between Hongmen and the Sankou Group.
"President, do you have any clues there?" Tang Jun raised his head and looked at Bai Zhentian. He hoped that Bai Zhentian could get some useful information and deduce who did this.
"No, the forces in the waters around Malacca have not found anything unusual..."
Bai Zhentian shook his head. The people he just met are the leaders of some organizations that are often active in the Strait of Malacca. They are involved in almost all businesses such as smuggling and smuggling in this sea area.
Although most of these people are fishermen, when they encounter a ship with enough oil and water, they can often turn into pirates. They are real local snakes. If a new force comes to the sea, they will never escape their eyes and ears.
However, compared to Hongmen, these forces are much weaker. Even if they are tied together, they cannot withstand Hongmen's wrath.
Therefore, under Bai Zhentian's invitation, the leaders of these maritime forces from various countries gathered together, but the result was that Bai Zhentian was disappointed. During this time, they did not find anything abnormal.
Even the day before the incident, several forces had seen the ship. There was nothing unusual about it at the time and it was sailing on its course normally.
"President, are there any other clues?"
Hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Tang Jun and others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even these local snakes didn't know what happened. It became even more difficult for them to trace it.
"There is some news, but I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter?"
Bai Zhentian hesitated for a moment and then said: "In a certain sea area in Malacca, ships have often disappeared in recent years. Our ship is not the first one..."
"What coordinates?" Tang Jun asked.
"Thirty degrees north latitude..." Bai Zhentian took a deep breath and said.
"What? Thirty degrees north latitude?" Before Bai Zhentian finished speaking, a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded in the cabin. A very strange expression appeared on the faces of Tang Jun and others.
"Hey, let me tell you, what's going on at 30 degrees north latitude?"
Seeing the indescribable expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Feng couldn't help but asked curiously. He didn't know why this maritime coordinate caused such a sensation.
"Qin Feng, you don't know the 30th degree north latitude?" Bai Zhentian looked at Qin Feng with some surprise. In his mind, there was almost nothing that Qin Feng didn't know.
"Should I ask you if I want to know?"
Qin Feng innocently spread his hands. He was not a know-it-all, nor had he systematically studied geography. How could he know what 30 degrees north latitude meant.
"President, Mr. Qin grew up in China." Tang Jun reminded Bai Zhentian.
"I forgot about this..."
Bai Zhentian nodded, saw Qin Feng's puzzled look, and said: "Brother Qin, what we talk about in China is materialism. In the early years, there was a lot of rejection of natural sciences. But here at 30 degrees north latitude, it is a kind of materialism."
A very strange natural phenomenon..."
Nature is full of mysterious mysteries. Near the 30th latitude and longitude of the earth, there are many mysterious and coincidental natural phenomena that have attracted people's attention.
Several famous rivers in the northern hemisphere, such as the Mississippi River in the United States, the Nile River in Egypt, the Euphrates River in Iraq, and the Yangtze River in China, all enter the sea at 30 degrees north latitude.
The world's highest Mount Everest on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the deepest Riana Trench in the Western Pacific are also near 30 degrees north latitude. Many of them are places that humans cannot reach.
Near 30 degrees north latitude, there are strange mountains and rivers, and wonders and scenes abound. The world-famous Qiantang River Spring Tide, Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province, Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province, and Mount Emei Mountain in Sichuan are all strange and deep mysterious realms.
The ancient Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx, the "Vulcan Fire" mural in the Sahara Desert of North Africa, the Dead Sea, the "hanging gardens" of Babylon, the terrifying "Bermuda Triangle", and the ancient Mayan civilization ruins are all located at 30 latitudes north.
near the degree.
The most famous natural phenomenon that occurs near 30 degrees north latitude is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.
Bermuda is a strange place, where dozens of planes and more than 100 ships have crashed for no apparent reason.
Not only that, there are also many rumors about people in Bermuda who disappeared through time tunnels, then suddenly appeared, and "made people younger".
Across the world, when people mention Bermuda, they feel creepy. A scientific group believes that there may be a huge meteorite here.
According to research by this scientific group, about 1,500 years ago, a huge meteorite flew from space and fell into the Atlantic Ocean.
This large meteorite is like a large black hole, which has great attraction. Even light can be attracted into it, not to mention airplanes and ships.
Belize, on the Mexican peninsula, also had a meteorite fall down. It destroyed all living things on the earth, and its dust filled the sky above the earth for ten years.
It is not known whether meteorites caused the Bermuda Devil's Triangle, but it is certain that the coordinates of the Bermuda Triangle are 30 degrees north latitude.
"So there is actually a relationship between 30 degrees north latitude and Bermuda?"
After hearing Bai Zhentian's explanation, Qin Feng had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't know the 30 degrees north latitude, but he knew about the Devil's Triangle in Bermuda.
"I checked the route, and our ship actually passed through the Strait of Malacca near 30 degrees north latitude."
Bai Zhentian smiled bitterly. As a person who has never respected ghosts and gods, he felt that it was a bit ridiculous to define the disappearance of the ship as a mysterious event.
Moreover, if Thirty Degrees North Latitude is taken as the final conclusion of the incident, I am afraid that even within Hongmen will not be able to explain the past. After all, not everyone believes in this natural phenomenon.
"President Bai, I seem to have heard of something happening in Bermuda, but not elsewhere, right?"
Qin Feng shook his head when he heard this. Although he was not a staunch materialist, he had lived in China for so many years and had a lot of skills. He didn't really believe in those mythical things.
"Who said there isn't one?" Bai Zhentian said: "There are places like this in China, but the authorities don't report them. You just don't know."
"Oh? Where?"
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment. It was normal for him not to know about things abroad. However, since Youzai was such a master, there were not many strange things in China that he didn't know about.
"Do you know about Poyang Lake?" Bai Zhentian asked.
"I know."
Qin Feng nodded, and suddenly something flashed through his mind. His expression changed and he said, "Are you talking about the disappearance of the "Kobe Maru" back then? The coordinates there are also 30 degrees north latitude?"
"Eh? You actually know about this?" Bai Zhentian glanced at Qin Feng strangely and said, "As far as I know, there are no relevant reports in China. How did you know about it?"
"Master told me."
Qin Feng answered honestly: "After the Kobe Maru disappeared, Master wanted to go to the scene to investigate. But something happened and he was delayed, so he never made it. I don't know much..."
"Is that so? If your master really went there back then, maybe we could solve this mystery."
Bai Zhentian admired the life-seeking Yama very much. He shook his head and sighed, and said: "Let me tell you about the Kobe Maru. Some things were only declassified a few years ago, and many people don't know..."
It turns out that the so-called disappearance of the "Kobe Maru" happened on April 16, 1945, when a Japanese transport ship "Kobe 9" suddenly disappeared mysteriously while sailing to the waters near the Laoye Temple in the northwest of Panyang Lake.
.
At that time, none of the more than 200 people on board survived. Later, the Japanese Navy sent people to sneak into the bottom of the lake to conduct reconnaissance. Except for one diver named Yamashita Takaaki, the rest of the people who went into the water mysteriously disappeared!
The diver, Yamashita Ticaki, also looked frightened after taking off his diving suit. He lost consciousness and then went crazy. Until his death, Yamashita Ticaki could not tell the truth.
Since the Kobe Maru, with a displacement of up to 2,000 tons, carried countless gold and silver jewelry looted by the Japanese, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, various countries sent divers to explore it.
Around 1950, American diving expert Edward Ball and a group of people dived into the area again to search for the missing Japanese ship. As a result, except for Edward, who survived, all other divers were buried at the bottom of the lake!
Forty years later, Edward finally disclosed to the world for the first time his soul-crushing experience at the bottom of Panyang Lake.
According to Edward, during those days, he and several diving partners had been searching for Kobe 9 in waters several kilometers underwater, but this behemoth of more than 2,000 tons seemed to have evaporated from the bottom of the lake.
One day, when Edward and others were searching northwest, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed not far away and shot toward them quickly.
Suddenly, violent vibrations occurred at the calm bottom of the lake, and the roaring roaring in the ears rolled away. A powerful attraction attracted everyone tightly.
Edward, who was above the water, could only watch helplessly as several of his companions were instantly sucked away by the white light and entered a black hole-like object. Only Edward struggled to get out of the water.
In the past few decades, many professional diving teams in China have searched for the Kobe Maru, but there have been casualties in every search. So far, the mystery of the disappearance of the Kobe Maru has not been solved.
"Boss Bai, you wouldn't say that the missing ship in Hongmen is the same as the Kobe Maru, right?"
After listening to Bai Zhentian's story, Qin Feng showed a strange expression on his face. He now understood where the expressions on the faces of the Tang army came from after Bai Zhentian mentioned 30 degrees north latitude.
