Chapter 287: The Sunken Ironclad Ship

"Oh, what does that say?"

Qin Xu on the sofa asked casually, this special year obviously didn't bring him any special associations. Huo Ran?Wen ??? ??? ļ¼Žļ½’ļ½ļ½Žļ½…ļ½Ž`ļ½ļ½’ļ½‡

After looking up slightly at Mobecca opposite, Qin Xu continued to look down and looked at the exquisite panoramic design in his hand. It's as if there's a peerless beauty hidden in it, and people never get tired of looking at it.

"Well, that naval officer, named Anthony Kiplin, is, the captain of an ironclad ship of the Monette. ā€

Mo Becca on the other side lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at Qin Xu, and her voice seemed a little slurred, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What? Captain of the Ironclad Monit? That's not a small officer, how did he end up there?"

Raising his head in some surprise and looking at the Mobeka on the other side, Qin Xu was a little curious, the Monit ironclad ship, that was the strongest war weapon at that time, right?

However, Qin Xu scratched his head with some doubts, it stands to reason that the person who can become the captain of the ironclad ship Monette can't be an unknown person?

"Yes, the captain of the USS Monit, but the ironclad was caught in a strong typhoon in the Atlantic Ocean on its way back to the continental United States, and then unfortunately sank on the rocks. ā€

Recalling the slightly scribbled handwriting on the last two pages of the notebook, it was not difficult for Mobecca to imagine the desperate mood of the captain of the ironclad named Anthony Kiplin.

"The ironclad Monit sank? How could it be? I haven't heard of it?"

At this time, Qin Xu couldn't continue to look at the exquisite panorama. Looking up at Mobecca in shock, are you sure you're not kidding?

What was the Monit? It was an invincible ironclad at the time! It could have sunk in a strong typhoon?

As for hitting the reef, what are you kidding, let's not talk about what the sonar on the cruiser is for, even if it really hits the reef, even that big guy with rough skin and thick flesh won't sink, right?

"This, this. ā€

Mobeka was a little stumbling, and didn't know what to say, in fact, the reason why the Monit ironclad ship sank was not known was because of the sinking was a bit embarrassing.

Moreover, this ironclad ship Monit was ordered by the American Federation at that time and operated secretly, so it is still unknown to outsiders.

"What's wrong, how did it sink?"

Mo Becca did this, but it aroused Qin Xu's curiosity again, so he couldn't wait to ask.

"Well, because the ship was full of treasures plundered from China at that time, it was a little overweight, and it was unable to avoid the reef in time, and sank an hour after hitting the reef. ā€

With her head down, Mobecca's voice was like a mosquito sound, indeed, in front of her lover, telling her country about the atrocities she had committed against her lover's motherland, it really embarrassed her.

"The looted treasure from China in 1860?

Looking at Mo Becca in amazement, Qin Xu stood up suddenly, are you sure you are not mistaken, why is what happened today so strange.

In 1860, the United States invaded China? What are you kidding?

If I'm not mistaken, 1860 was supposed to be the time of the Second Opium War, right?

Isn't that a good thing done by two bastards of Britain and France? How can it be related to the United States?

"I—I don't know, that's what it says in my diary!"

glanced at Qin Xu timidly, Mo Becca didn't know much about history, just read what was said in the diary.

"baby, what kind of treasure is in there? Where did you get it, did you say it in your diary?"

Comforting as if patting Mobecca on the shoulder, Qin Xu motioned for her to relax, this kind of thing that happened a long time ago has nothing to do with her.

"It seems to have come from some garden, all gold, jade, jade, and so on. ā€

Recalling the translated content in his mind, he said with some uncertainty.

"What Garden? 1860 Garden, Yuanmingyuan ?!!!"

kept chattering, Qin Xu's eyes were slightly confused, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world, and he opened his eyes wider and wider!

Almost subconsciously, Qin Xu stood up suddenly, his eyes full of incredulity, staring at Mobeka on the side, as if he wanted to confirm the truth of this matter from her flower-like face.

"Qin, Qin Xu, what's wrong with you?

Glared at by Qin Xu's sharp eyes, Mobeka, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, also stood up involuntarily and looked at him with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little messy in my head. ā€

With a wave of his hand, Qin Xu sat back on the sofa, and from Mobeka's sincere eyes, he had already got the answer he wanted!

Just, how could this be?

Qin Xu's mind now is full of incredulity and shock!

How could an American battleship be loaded with all this stuff?

Weren't those two countries the only ones involved in the raid?

Don't?

And they were involved in the beginning? These are the benefit fees?

The more he thought about it, the more Qin Xu felt that it was possible, it must be like this, and it was not surprising that there were only two countries at the beginning, and he dared to challenge the Heavenly Empire where Yu Wei was still there, after all, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. There is no one behind them, and they don't dare to make a mistake.

Moreover, it is no wonder that they set fire to it afterwards, resulting in the loss of how many rare jade artifacts in the Old Summer Palace have not been counted until now.

It turns out that the heels of the matter are all here!

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Xu felt that his head was a little big, so he simply didn't think about it so much, this kind of guessing and guessing thing was what he hated the most.

"Baby, in that diary, did you record where the battleship sank? Also, how did he escape?"

Staring at Mo Becca, who sat down again, Qin Xu began to continue to ask, according to his observation, there should be someone who lived there for a while.

In this way, it means that this unlucky guy escaped by himself, not by the waves.

"I didn't write much about it, it seemed that as soon as he woke up, he was in the vicinity, and it was still a primeval forest, and he tried to walk through it a few times, but he couldn't get out. In the end, he simply found a cave and stayed down first, hoping that fishermen who went to sea would meet him by chance. ā€

As she spoke, Mobecca took a sip of coffee and moistened her throat, which was a little thirsty because she had spoken too much.

"What about the location of the shipwreck? Has anyone been beaten up? That shipwright is a lot of good guys, right? Hundreds of millions of dollars may not be able to buy these!"

At the end of his words, Qin Xu specially accentuated his tone, but he knew what the most precious shipwreck treasure in the sea would be!

Neither the tons of gold and silver coins, nor the arms business with the head, but the kind that will break when touched, the porcelain of ancient China,

"Well, it seems like it's just an approximate location, it's a little next to a small island near the Pacific Ocean. ā€

Although he didn't know why Qin Xu asked this, Mo Becca still told what he knew.
