The Treasure at the Foot of the Mountain
Chapter 193 The Treasure at the Foot of the Mountain (2)
Among the many "treasures of World War II", the most eye-catching ones are the ** treasure, the mountain treasure and the Rommel treasure. However, only the ** treasure has been dug out, and Still a small portion.
During World War II, as the supreme commander sent by the Japanese army to Southeast Asia, Yamashita also made a lot of ground in Southeast Asian countries.The gold and silver treasures it plundered were all secretly hidden in the later period of the war.
Later, when the U.S. military returned to the Philippines, they also found some treasures buried by Fengwen Yamashita.But a batch of melted gold went out to sea with an unknown cargo ship and disappeared.Countless people have tried to find the whereabouts of this batch of gold earlier.
Xu Haibao, who joined many foreign salvage companies in his previous life, has naturally experienced the work of searching for the 'treasure under the mountain'.It is a pity that the salvage and search teams dispatched by many countries failed to find the whereabouts of these treasures.
As for the treasures buried before the defeat of Yamashita Fengwen, only the treasures buried on land were found.But even so, there are still many treasure hunters in the Philippines, trying to find more information about the 'treasure under the mountain'.
As the Solomon Islands, which was the key defense of the Japanese army during World War II, the Japanese and American armies also had many confrontations around the islands.Although in the latter part of the war, the US military has actually controlled the Solomon Islands.But the Japanese army undoubtedly knew the situation here very well.
According to some information learned in the previous life, it is possible that the escort ship is worth more than one billion US dollars, or even more.After all, many people in later generations have doubts about the valuation of this batch of gold, and it is more due to some speculations without evidence.
Xu Haibao, who decided to explore these treasures again this time, is more hoping to make up for the regrets of his previous life.If nothing else, the Solomon Islands will become more lively next year, and countless treasure hunters will gather here.
The most well-known of them, perhaps the old American billionaire, also participated in this treasure hunt.It is a pity that these treasure hunters failed to find the most expensive batch of 'treasures under the mountain'.
After listening to Xu Haibao's words, Tang Xingyou, the captain, was also very surprised and said: "Swordfish, after all these years, it may be very difficult to find the treasure that the old devil buried? Do you have any clues?"
"It's not too specific, but there are many suspicious clues. Salvage of sunken treasures often requires luck. Even if there are credible clues, it takes a little luck to find the treasure.
Considering that the Solomon Islands have not established diplomatic relations with our country, the scope of our search for treasures must be delineated outside their economic waters.Especially the sea area from the Philippine soldiers to Solomon is the most suspicious. "
"But this range is huge! We can't just search for them one by one, right?"
"Of course not! It's just that we can think about the problem from the standpoint of those little devils who escorted them back then, and speculate where those little devils might have buried the treasure. When they buried the treasure, they must have thought about digging it out.
That means, it is impossible for the little devil who escorted the treasure to throw the escorted gold in the open sea.Where they choose to bury their treasures, there must be some reference.Finding it based on this clue will be relatively simple.
Of course, looking for shipwreck treasure in the sea, maybe nine times out of ten you will fail.If the treasure of the sunken ship is so easy to find, I am afraid that many people will join this routine.Sometimes, don't have too much hope for treasure hunting, it's best to treat it with a normal heart! "
If you really want to find the known treasures of sunken ships, for Xu Haibao who participated in many treasure hunts in his previous life, maybe you can really find one.But looking for treasures in this way, in Xu Haibao's view, lost the fun and excitement of treasure hunting.
Having participated in the search for the 'treasure under the mountain' in his previous life, Xu Haibao still feels somewhat regretful that he could not find these treasures.It's rare to live a new life, but also possess the watery nature against the sky, what a pity if you don't try it?
Compared with going out to sea by yacht, the conditions of the salvage ship are undoubtedly better.It's just that the long sailing journey is somewhat boring.Fortunately, most members of the salvage team have experienced this kind of life.
In addition, Xu Haibao would let the salvage ship dock in neighboring countries for supplies from time to time, and even the members of the salvage team could occasionally get a chance to rest.This kind of traveling while sailing is also a kind of fun.
Entering the waters of the Philippine soldiers, Tang Xingyou also asked: "Swordfish, are you going to Manila for supplies?"
"Forget it! Our salvage ship is a little eye-catching. If possible, try not to go to such a large port for resupply. Find a medium-sized port that can berth and set off immediately after resupply."
"understand!"
As countries pay more and more attention to maritime rights and interests, the originally peaceful South China Sea has become increasingly complicated.As an island country in Southeast Asia, island disputes between the Philippines and China have intensified in recent years.In this case, Xu Haibao didn't want to cause too much trouble.
Finally, the supply ship was replenished in Medan Island in the Philippines. After replenishing fuel and some food, Xu Haibao immediately ordered the salvage ship to leave the port.Such a situation surprised the members of the salvage ship.
But Tang Xingyou and the team leaders also said in a timely manner: "Next, we will officially start the search work in the sea. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, you should also take care and prepare to complete the next search work!"
"understand!"
After leaving Medan, we entered the high seas again and watched the sky gradually darken.Xu Haibao, who had been staying in the cockpit, looked at the place shown on the chart, and quickly said: "Helm, let's camp and rest on this island tonight!"
"it is good!"
As the salvage ship arrived at the sea area designated by Xu Haibao, looking at the uninhabited islands floating out of the sea in the distance, there were still some on-duty personnel on board, and the rest of the crew took the speedboat carried by the salvage ship and set foot on this uninhabited island. island.
In order to facilitate salvage and patrol at sea, the salvage ship not only has one speedboat ready to escape, but also carries two speedboats.In this way, the salvage ship has three speedboats at its disposal at all times.
Considering the safety factor, the crew members who landed on the desert island first are still members of the safety team.On the high seas, all members of the security team are equipped with weapons and ammunition.You can enter the waters of various countries, but all weapons need to be handed over for safekeeping.
The purpose of doing this is also very simple, even if it encounters inspections by other countries, there will be no problems.The security team sent a signal to inform that there was nothing abnormal on the deserted island, and the follow-up team members also landed on the island one after another.
The crew members who had already slept on the deserted island many times also began to divide their labor and cooperate. Some set up tents and some started to cook.On the other hand, Xu Haibao, who is the boss, is responsible for going into the sea to catch ingredients.
"Swordfish, be careful!"
"It's okay! I'll go to the sea first, you guys have a rest first!"
Xu Haibao, who jumped into the sea, carried a metal detector as usual, and circled the nearby sea.Although the detector beeped from time to time, Xu Haibao didn't pay much attention to it, and caught edible seafood from time to time.
When Xu Haibao surfaced again, looking at the many seafood in his hands, all the team members also smiled and said: "Wow, good luck, it seems that we can eat sashimi tonight! The amount of tuna here is really huge." Less!"
As the main producing area of tuna, there are naturally many tuna schools near the Solomon Islands.It's just that this kind of fish is still relatively rare in China.But for salvage team members, such seafood tastes good.
In fact, apart from the tuna in his hand, Xu Haibao actually caught more tuna before.It's just that those tunas are all swimming in unnamed pearls at the moment, and they will also become fish cultured in cages after returning to China.
After breaking through the fourth level, Xu Haibao's cultivation base and realm both improved.By the way, the space of the nameless pearl has also expanded a lot compared to before.This also means that there are more fish that can be farmed in space.
After eating a homemade hot meal, Tang Xingyou and Zhao Ji also walked over and asked, "Nothing found around here?"
"No! Although this is also an area on the high seas, there are still a lot of boats coming and going. The islands we need to search for next will be more concentrated in relatively remote and inconspicuous deserted islands. The more inconspicuous they are, the more likely they will be treasures. .”
"But if you look for it like this, the workload is still very heavy!"
"It's okay! According to our previous division of labor, every time I arrive at an island, I will do the first investigation and search. If there are suspicious targets, the diving team will go into the water to cooperate with the search. There is no rush for this kind of thing!"
"it is good!"
It is naturally not an easy task to find the treasure buried in the sea half a century ago.To put it bluntly, this is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.But since it's here, no one will be reconciled if you don't look for it carefully!
In this way, the "Hailong" salvage ship that Xu Haibao and others were on board changed its route from time to time in the next few days to search for deserted islands in the high seas.There was no gain for several days in a row, which made many team members feel a little disappointed.
But for Xu Haibao, such things are very common.If you really want to find out, the sunken ship in the sea must have been salvaged long ago.Patience is also essential to find treasure in the sea!
Seeing that there was not much oil left on the salvage ship, Xu Haibao thought for a while and said, "Go to the nearest Palau port to take a rest! After drifting at sea for so long, I also relax a little for two days. It's just the discipline of confidentiality, you all emphasize again one time."
"understood!"
Under Xu Haibao's order, the salvage ship headed towards the nearest Palau port.As a port in the South Pacific, it is also one of the supply ports for many merchant ships.And the docking of the 'Hailong' will not appear too eye-catching.
From the appearance alone, Hailong is somewhat different from many foreign salvage ships.As long as people are not allowed to board the ship, I believe this salvage ship, which looks similar to a cruise ship, will not attract too many people's attention.
Most importantly, the members of the salvage team are honest and restrained every time they enter the port for rest.Nothing to do, most of them stay in the hotel at the port to rest.When I go out occasionally, I will find one or two people to accompany me.It is relatively rare to go out alone.
The purpose of doing this is also very simple, that is to avoid the occurrence of leaks.In terms of professional ethics, the official members who are qualified to join the salvage team still abide by it very well!
