Chapter 46: Change of Plans
Until what happened, or any evidence was available, they did not have any authority to have the support of the UK's Information Security Service and the Maritime Administration, and it would be impossible for them to track down the whereabouts of the Ranger. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before meeting the Spanish police, Fernández insisted on not revealing any secrets, which brought the matter to a stalemate.
If he was just an ordinary person, the guards would not mind giving him some means, and the police would follow the army to extract confessions by torture.
In the past, the Coast Guard was part of the Navy, and later it was divided into the National Guard, which is a second-class combat unit, and it was not until five years ago that it was established as a separate weaving force, and now it is an independent unit of the Maritime Administration.
Therefore, there is also a strong military style here, and the cruelty is much more serious than that of the police station.
However, if Fernandez is really an inside line of the Spanish police, no matter how many means they have, it is impossible to use it against him, because this can easily cause diplomatic contradictions between Britain and Spain.
Therefore, Wilcom contacted the Spanish police as soon as possible to confirm Fernandez's identity, and now, they can only hope that the Spanish side can move faster.
It is precisely because of such a time lag that no one pays attention to the whereabouts of the Ranger for the time being. Nearly thirty-six hours later, the Ranger had reached the waters of northern Spain, and in less than an hour a plane had taken him to the nearest Coruña.
The Ranger will turn off all locators, turn on jammers, and disappear into the vast sea.
Zhou You originally wanted the Ranger to go directly to Singapore, but after more than a day, he changed his mind.
The most important thing now is not to go back to Asia, but to solve this matter. If this matter is not resolved, even if the Ranger returns to Asia, it may be seized by the British, and he does not believe that the Singapore government has the courage to oppose the British government.
The biggest problem now is that Zhou You's salvage did not apply for a salvage license with the Singapore court, and the Singapore court did not file the matter with the International Seabed Authority.
This also means that the salvage of Zhou You is illegal.
Therefore, the biggest problem now is to hide the Ranger and not let anyone find it, and only when this matter is resolved can the Ranger see the light of day again.
With Chuckle, Liang Hao, and his trusted crew on board, Zhou You didn't have much to worry about the safety of the Ranger.
All he had to do now was try to get everyone's attention and get the attention of others to pay attention to him.
The tour did not stop at A Coruña, and after the helicopter was refueled, he flew directly to Madrid on this plane.
This time, he's going to use Horti.
It's just that he hasn't made a decision on how to deal with all this, and he still has to discuss this matter with Old Volando and them before he can make the most correct choice.
He didn't know how to deal with government agencies, but Volando Sr. had a lifetime of working against the government, and he had a lot more experience in this area than he did.
When he arrived in Madrid, he was the fastest by helicopter, Volando Sr. had not yet come from Victoria, and Gracia had just boarded the plane back to Madrid.
In the villa in the northwest suburbs, the first thing Zhou You saw was Carneroga with an anxious face, and it seemed that something had happened to the Ranger, and he was even more worried than Zhou You.
looked at the window of the villa, who pretended to be calm, and wanted to send Caneroga away without thinking about it. "You go and investigate Fernandez now, I need all the details of this person. In addition, you immediately send people to England to spy on Fernandez secretly, and be careful that the people you send there must not be your own people. ”
Caneroga only knew that something had happened to the Ranger, but he didn't know what had happened, and when he heard that Zhou You was going to investigate Fernandez, he thought that the leak had appeared on him. Because these people were all arranged by him, and now that something has happened, he must also be responsible.
"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely handle this matter well, if Fernandez is really a traitor, I will definitely let him not see the sun tomorrow."
"Things will always be investigated, and I was negligent, because his injury alone exposed his purpose this time, which really outweighed the loss. If I had known this, I might as well have killed him in the first place. ”
Having said that, Zhou You also knew that he was talking angry. Because at that time, Fernandez was his subordinate, and in front of others, he was pretending to be hypocritical, and he couldn't let others chill.
If the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Caneroga himself poked the basket here, and he didn't dare to annoy him in front of Zhou You, so he immediately took someone to investigate all the information about Fernandez.
For the old members of such an organization, he still can't believe that Fernandez will be a traitor, but this matter must be investigated before he can give Zhou You an explanation.
Seeing Zhou You enter the house, Orti greeted him and asked, "What happened to require the unconditional cooperation of my side?" ”
Zhou You was not in a hurry at this time, and told her what had happened during this time, and also told her about the possible actions of the British side.
Orti asked with some incomprehension: "Even if it is proved that you are engaged in illegal salvage, but you are salvaging on the high seas, don't you say that according to the Law of the Sea Convention, you only need to pay at most ten percent of the income of the British side?" ”
Zhou You shook his head and said: "The performance of the contract requires the fairness and mutual restraint of both parties to the contract, otherwise, the contract is just a dead letter." I'm a human being, but Britain is a country, and if I can't get Britain to be the first to throw a mouse, do you think he'll give me a fair chance? ”
"Are they going to rob it?"
Zhou You shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course they won't grab it directly, and they don't need it." They just need to put a charge on the Ranger, just detain the Ranger, and then everything will be theirs. ”
Hearing Zhou You's concerns, Orti became interested, and said with a smile: "If it is to cooperate with you to do a good job in public opinion propaganda, I think our TV station will also be very willing, you must know that the relationship between our country and Britain has not been good." ”
Indeed, although the feud between England and Spain is not as high as that between France and Germany, the hatred value has always been high.
Spain was the first empire on which the sun never set, and it was only after Britain defeated them that Britain became the new world hegemon. Hundreds of years have passed, but the Spaniards still have no less hatred for the British.
Even within the EU, there has always been a stiffness between the UK and several major EU countries. Because Britain is so close to the United States, it is not like a European country, but more like an American country.
Especially after the Labor Party came to power, the Blair administration is more like Bush Jr.'s spokesman for Europe, and in terms of European affairs and NATO affairs, it has been digging into Europe's corners, which makes Germany, France, Italy, and Spain deeply hate.
In such a social environment, there is mainly the correct guidance of public opinion, and it is not very difficult for Zhou You to escape this catastrophe.
Because not only Spain, but also other European national media are happy to see the British government make a fool of themselves.
After listening to Orti's analysis of the complex relationship between European countries, Zhou You really felt that it was too complicated. He was fortunate to have old Volandor and their military presence here, otherwise, he really didn't know how to deal with the British government, relying on Ortie alone, Zhou You didn't think that she could deal with those cunning politicians as a woman.
Although I haven't seen each other for a long time, Zhou You and Orti don't have the intention of revisiting the mandarin dream, on the one hand, because there are important things in their hearts now, and they don't have the mentality of having fun, and the other reason is that old Volando and Gracia are also about to arrive.
And Orti is not a greedy woman, and she is not particularly keen on flesh and lust. Although she has a relationship with Zhou You, she prefers to establish a partnership relationship with Zhou You, not just a lover relationship.
In this regard, she is different from all women. Especially Paris, and her are two extremes, if Paris hasn't seen him for so long, first of all, she has to travel around and serve her in bed first, and if she can't get out of bed without tossing, she won't give up, and as for other things, she has to go to the back row.
Half an hour later, Volando Sr. and Rhodes were taken by the driver, and then Gracia and Demossa returned to Madrid from Mallorca, where they all gathered for a seminar.
The main purpose of the meeting was to actively establish a contingency mechanism to remain undefeated in the fight against the British government.
Zhou You didn't think of victory, because compared to a country, his strength is too weak, and he can remain undefeated and not hand over the wealth he has in hand, this is victory.
In order to keep this wealth, he preferred to tell the other party the coordinates of the Royal Merchant, and all the rest of the antiques could be handed over to the British.
However, after learning all about the situation, Rhodes did not have to worry about traveling. "Now, everything you have is your own imagination, and we have to wait until the British make a move before we can judge their next move. So, we can only strike backwards now, but we can't wait like this forever......"
Zhou You asked, "Then what should I do now?" ”
Rhodes smiled: "Since you didn't apply for search and salvage, you can make up this procedure now, no matter whether the time is right or not, at least we have to complete this set of procedures." Secondly, you can publicize your discovery in the major European media, which will become your disaster when everyone doesn't know about it, but if everyone knows, Britain will have to pay attention to the next problem if they want to get these antiques. They can act on their own, but they will never rob them openly. Therefore, not only does your Ranger not need to be hidden, on the contrary, it should be parked in a Spanish port generously, with the Spanish government as a guarantee, and no one will dare to rob you of what belongs to you. You know, in Europe, personal wealth is inviolable, and the UK can only fight you at most, and they may not necessarily win. ”
Zhou You felt that his head was a little too bent to turn, and let the Ranger stop in the port of Spain in a bright light, is it really possible? Can't the British government just make an excuse to seize his ship?
At this time, old Volando also spoke, nodded and said: "Let the Ranger hide in the vast sea, it's okay if it's short, but after a long time, don't you need to replenish living materials?" Stopping at a port in Spain can put an end to the small moves of the British, who just want to compete with you for these antiques, and you have to go through formal channels. Moreover, the place you salvaged is not in British waters, and even if they go to court, they may not be able to fight it. ”
Zhou You knew that there was no such good thing, and since the Spanish side helped him, he couldn't say anything if he didn't take a little out.
But when he asked his question, old Volando and Rhodes laughed. Volando Sr. said: "Have you forgotten the contradiction between us Basques and the Spanish government? As long as we Basques come out, the Spanish government will be tied to our chariot, and they won't be able to help us. But in the end, you just need to appease the Basques, and the Spanish government, on its part, completely ignore them. ”
Zhou You was silent for a while, still not knowing whether to take the risk, but in the end, he gave in. Because now, there is no other good way at all, and as they say, tying up the Basques first is equivalent to tying the Spanish government to the chariot, and with Spain stirring up in it, it is also very difficult for the British to make small moves.
So, later that afternoon, Zhou You called Chakel at the appointed time, told him about the new decision, and told them that the Ranger was swaggering to the docks of Bilbao.
At the same time, Orti also organized a film crew, and after an exclusive interview with Zhou You that night, he went to Bilbao early the next morning to prepare to board the Ranger for live shooting.
At this time, the Spanish police sent to the British arrived in London, and prepared to go to Plymouth early the next morning to meet with the British people.
However, that night, Spanish television had already broadcast a program, billionaire Evan Zhou from Singapore appeared on a financial talk show, in the course of the interview, he generously announced that he had made another major archaeological discovery on the southern coast of England, and found a shipwreck that was nearly 400 years old, because on the ship, all silver and gold coins from the 16th and 17th centuries were found, as well as hundreds of cultural relics.
The story immediately shocked all of Europe, with newspapers reprinting it the next day and countless reporters rushing to Bilbao to get first-hand information. (To be continued.) )
