Chapter 594: Pull the Navy into the water

Instead of going around the South China Sea, they returned to the territorial waters of their own country, that is, the East China Sea, from the nearest path!

On the way, several nets were cast, and several fishing boats were almost fully loaded. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As soon as he entered the territorial waters of his country, he was met by a warship.

All because through the Yun family, the news of the Awa Maru has reached the ears of the top government officials. The Vice Premier of the State Council attached great importance to this and gave instructions to dispatch the two warships.

In the event of a provocation by small countries such as Japan and South Korea, they will not hesitate to open fire, and must ensure that the gold on it and the skulls of the people of Beijing are safely returned to China.

Those gold, which is very important for the preservation of the value of the domestic renminbi, is the foundation of a country's currency, and cannot be lost.

In addition, the Peking Man skull on it was originally a Chinese cultural relic. This cultural relic has an indelible role and influence on the study of human history, and is also an important evidence of the origin of the Chinese nation.

The news of the Awa Maru was also blocked by the government, and for the time being, it was only circulated in a very small number of high-level positions. But as we all know, this news cannot be blocked for a long time, and other countries are not vegetarians.

"That young man Weihang has done a lot of great things recently!" Vice Premier Zhu said with a smile.

Just one sentence is enough to make the people below look at Wei Hang with admiration, and they will not dare to embarrass them in the future. The vice premier's remark is obviously a hint that this is a person who has contributed to the country, is a meritorious hero, and should be treated favorably! Who will eat the bear's heart and leopard gall to provoke the person who is supported by the vice premier?

Wei Hang didn't know about these things, and even if he knew, he commanded and laughed over. Because with his current ability, he doesn't need to borrow any momentum, and he doesn't need big people to support him.

Besides, he doesn't have any big dreams, he wants to be a high-ranking official or something. If you want to get rich, it's a trivial matter for him, what else do you want in life?

The so-called: no desire is rigid! There is no need to stammer anyone!

Therefore, even though he has made a lot of contributions, he still rarely asks the government and the country for anything.

It is precisely this situation that makes the country's top leaders pay more attention to Weihang's conduct, and feel that this young man is good, and officials must not make things difficult in the future, and even if they can, give more care, as well as policy convenience.

A few days ago, some people secretly reported that Weihang went out to sea to fish during the fishing ban period. Those who do this kind of thing must be peers, and when they saw Weihang salvaging and fishing, their hearts were red.

However, not only did the report not succeed, but it was found out, and the relevant departments were locked up for a period of time to educate them.

At this time, Wei Hang and the others were dealing with the rear admiral on the warship. Rear Admiral Yang also invited Wei Hang to visit the warship and return all the way to the coastal line.

In the military port, there are people from the country waiting, specially to receive the batch of gold in the hands of Weihang, as well as the skulls of the people of Beijing. Of course, the state will not be a robber, directly pull away, will be calculated on the spot, and the People's Bank of China will directly lend money when the time comes.

"Brother Wei, when will you go to sea again? Get more treasures from the sunken ship and come back, those ownerless things, if you don't take them yourself, won't you be cheaper for others in the future?"

In this world, there are countless shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea, from ancient times to modern times, no one can count them clearly. Even if it's a treasure ship, it's quite a lot, and that's a huge fortune.

For example, the San Jose, said to have been a merchant ship in the fleet of King Philip V of Spain, which was sunk by British forces in the Caribbean in 1708. The ship was allegedly loaded with gold, silver and jewels looted by the Spanish Empire from its American colonies, valued at least $2 billion.

In the Columbia Bay, there are at least ten shipwrecks with treasures, and one of those underwater treasure hunters has been on the lookout.

There is also the "Sussex", which is worth 2.4 billion pounds, that is, tens of billions of yuan. The ship had a secret mission, carrying a large amount of gold and silver treasures, which were intended to win the Italian Duke of Savoy into an alliance against France. However, no sooner had the fleet sailed to the Strait of Gibraltar than it encountered a storm at sea, and the "Sussex" unfortunately sank to the bottom of the sea.

Of course, there are also many ancient shipwrecks in domestic territorial waters, which are basically undeveloped, and the domestic salvage technology is not up to par, plus it is difficult to detect, which has always been a pity.

According to a preliminary estimate by the archaeological agency, there are about 2,000 to 3,000 shipwrecks in China's coastal waters and the South China Sea, most of which are Song, Yuan, and Ming ships, and there are also some foreign ships in the shipwrecks, such as the British East India Company and the Swedish shipwreck. Most of the treasures on these shipwrecks are fine porcelain from ancient China, and experts say that these shipwrecks constitute a "porcelain capital under the sea".

Wei Hang chuckled: "It's hard to say now, go back this time, rest for about a month before setting off." Finding shipwreck treasures is indeed an important side hustle for us. ”

He told Major General Yang that the next clue was the treasure of the Caribbean. However, that area is a bit far from China.

During the colonial era, the gold plundered by Spain and Portugal from Central and South America had to be shipped back to Europe through the Baltic Sea, so this area was also one of the busiest seas at that time, in addition to merchant ships and official ships, there were also a large number of pirate ships that plundered treasures. This makes the Caribbean region the most frequented area for man-made shipwrecks.

In many legends today, the largest collection of pirate treasures in this area has yet to be discovered, and experts speculate that many of them either sank to the bottom of the sea with pirate ships sunk by the navy, or were lost due to infighting among pirates.

"The treasure of the Pirates of the Caribbean? is quite famous, you have clues? Do you want the military to help? There are also our escort warships over there. Major General Yang immediately said.

"Then I'm going to trouble your navy. "Weihang did not refuse the help of the Navy.

In this case, it is inevitable that we will have to share a piece of the pie with the navy. However, is Wei Hang short of money now? He thinks it is quite interesting to be able to pull the navy into the water and play hooligans all over the world together.

The people at home are quite disappointed that the Chinese military has always tolerated it, after all, even a small country like the Philippines can make small moves and engage in war of words all day long.

However, it would be much more interesting to be able to pull the navy in, go to other seas to make trouble, grab treasures, and even accidentally fight.

Not to mention Weihang, I believe that many Chinese people also want to see their country play hooligan.

While returning, another fishing boat continued to tow a net, Weihang They rarely do activities in the East China Sea, so they try the quality of seafood here, and how the yield is!
