Chapter 170: The Trap (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass.
Bai Yi thought for a moment and said: "In principle, it is possible, the Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage is currently the only international agreement on underwater cultural relics in the world, and it is also a powerful measure for the international society to manage the disorderly shipwreck salvage market."
However, the convention has not yet entered into force, and some major shipwreck salvage countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom are still outside the convention, which means that people do not recognize your so-called protection treaty at all.
As long as it's on the high seas, as long as they find out, they can salvage it as they want, and you can't do anything about it. ”
"What about the domestic regulations?" Han Peacock asked again.
Bai Yi said: "The salvage of shipwrecks in the territorial sea is defined by the domestic laws of each country, while the salvage of shipwrecks in the waters outside the territorial sea is within the scope of international law, and these waters mainly include the exclusive economic zones of various countries and the high seas in international waters.
Many salvage companies claim that international waters are not owned by any country, so no country can control the salvage of wrecks in them, but this is not the case.
According to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 2001 Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, property in international waters should be in common or public ownership of all mankind, or it could be recognized as the "common heritage of all mankind", and only the international community or the States concerned should have the right to manage and dispose of the remnants of the seabed.
Therefore, the international community and all relevant countries have the right to manage illegal salvage activities, but at present, in these waters, the state of fragmentation of law enforcement by various countries and the weakness of international law enforcement have given illegal salvage players many opportunities to take advantage of. ”
Bai Yi did not say. In fact, Han Peacock is also one of the illegal salvageists.
Soon, the salvage ship encountered the three ships, and as Han Peacock and the others guessed, they were stopped by two maritime surveillance ships and asked to board the ship for inspection.
"What should I do?" Han Xing said.
Han Peacock said: "Cold salad, you go and deal with them in white clothes, anyway, we haven't found anything, so naturally we don't need to admit anything." ”
Han Peacock obviously didn't make it clear, although they didn't find anything, but they intentionally or unintentionally misunderstood. Otherwise, people won't be idle. Come here to trouble him.
The location of the two maritime surveillance ships is very good, this is the most important and dangerous area of this sea, similar to the terrain of the No. 1 sea area predicted by Han Peacock, and there are a large number of reefs underground.
Han Peacock their sailing route. It is the only shipping route through this reef group. Obviously. The two maritime surveillance ships are very familiar with this sea area, so they are waiting for them directly here, and they are waiting for one by one.
Piercing sirens. Shocked by everything that happened on board, everyone went to the deck.
Chen Jiayi looked at Han Peacock and said, "This is a domestic 600 gross tonnage, 806 type maritime surveillance ship. ”
"It doesn't look like much!" Han Peacock didn't care.
Chen Jiayi said: "The sea trial displacement is 500 tons, the speed is greater than 23 knots, the endurance can reach 1400 nautical miles, and the self-sustaining power is 15 days and nights, see?" There is a four-barreled 14.5 mm machine gun in the bow and a slipway retraction system in the stern, equipped with a high-speed workboat with self-righting function, water jet propulsion, and a speed of more than 40 knots. ”
"So we can't outrun them?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
Chen Jiayi also smiled: "Of course we can't outrun them, the equipment on this ship is very advanced, at least much more advanced than our broken ship."
This ship is equipped with an integrated cockpit, navigation radar, CSJI TV surveillance system, mobile satellite TV receiving system, electronic charts and other advanced equipment, we will never be able to run. ”
Han Peacock looked at the white clothes who were negotiating with the two maritime surveillance ships, and said, "The ship is still equipped with water cannons, right?" ”
"Water cannons? That thing is scary, is the water cannon useful in the face of a big ship like ours? However, the crew of the maritime surveillance ship is equipped with short assault rifles, pistols and other individual weapons, which are enough to deal with us. Chen Jiayi said.
"According to the provisions of the Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, the shipwreck in the exclusive economic zone and on the high seas belongs to the country of origin of the cultural relics, so we have sovereignty over the shipwreck of the Onichi Maru, and your salvage is illegal." An awkward tone came to mind.
This is a short officer, and you can tell by looking at your clothes that this is a Japanese coast guard.
On the other side, it must be the Chinese maritime surveillance personnel, and now both sides have all landed on the salvage ship of Han Peacock, but at this time, the two sides have broken out conflicts.
A Chinese maritime supervisor said: "You didn't say everything just now, according to the Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage, the underwater shipwreck also belongs to the country of cultural origin, the country of historical or archaeological origin, and the country of ownership of the identifiable owner, while the cargo on the Dainichi Maru cruise ship is all Chinese, so the ship can be yours, but the cargo inside belongs to the Chinese side." ”
"No, no, no, you should note that the Convention is concerned with urging States to effectively protect underwater cultural objects that they have found or control, but the law as a whole does not provide for the ownership of shipwrecks and the treasures on board.
Therefore, not only do you and China and Japan have sovereignty over this ship, but we American people can also salvage it if we find it. "In the ranks of the Japanese, a tall white man, in Chinese.
The Japanese do not speak, and it seems that they are still afraid of the American masters, and of course it is more likely to be with the mud.
"Countries have the right to confiscate illegally salvaged underwater heritage, loot ancient shipwrecks, and underwater archaeological sites, and impose sanctions on offenders based on the extent of damage to cultural relics," the Chinese officer said. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Policeman, what you said is that countries have the right to impose sanctions on underwater heritage illegally salvaged in their territorial waters, in whose territorial waters are we illegally salvage?" Bai Yi interjected at this time.
"There is no doubt that the Dainichi Maru belongs to our Great Japanese Empire."
"The cargo on board belongs to China, and I want you to be investigated."
"We Americans don't care about this, and now we hope that you can open the way and let us pass." The white man looked at the boat beneath his feet, but his heart was on fire.
It is impossible for a 4,000-ton cruise ship to carry the goods that a 1,000-ton ship can carry away, and depending on the draft of this salvage ship, it can carry up to two or three hundred tons of cargo at most.
So the Americans don't care what exactly was caught on the salvage ship of the Han Peacock, and they are now more interested in the other cargo in the sunken ship.
The wreck on the high seas that Han Peacock is looking for is, in principle, owned by China and Japan, and American companies can also come to salvage it.
"The cargo on the ship belongs to China, and we don't want to cause conflict, so this area is now closed to any ships." The Chinese coast guard solemnly warned the Americans.
The little eyes of the Japanese kept turning around, and with the salvage ability of the Chinese, if the Dainichi Maru really loaded a large amount of silver, it must be in this cabin now, so the Japanese did not care too much about the Americans going to salvage the Dainichi Maru.
And the Americans came with the mentality of picking up garbage, a cruise ship with a displacement of 4,000 tons, silent at a depth of more than 100 meters underwater, for their crane ship, it is too pediatric, they can easily scoop it up.
Even if there is nothing left on the ship, they can make a lot of money just by selling scrap steel.
"Don't talk nonsense, go in and search, and if you resist, you can be arrested." Although the Japanese officer was not large, his voice was not small.
Han Peacock looked at them with a sneer, but didn't say anything, his current target is not these little Japan, but as long as someone falls into their trap, little Japan will definitely not have a good time in the future.
Han Peacock didn't have much plans to go to sea this time, and he didn't even have a security guard at all, so he really had nothing to fear.
China and Japan are incompatible with each other, and both sides rushed into the cabin, which made Han Peacock's eyes flicker, the Japanese don't care about themselves, and now there are people in the country who hit themselves so firmly.
Chen Jiayi naturally saw Han Peacock's expression: "Your plan to startle the snake this time is too timely, if we rashly implement the dragon plan, maybe it will be the same as now, you can rest assured, the cost of this operation is completely counted in the company, and you will not be borne alone." ”
"There's no need, I don't lose anything anyway." Han Peacock waved his hand.
Long Liang said: "We have opponents, and we have been in the limelight too much recently, so we are jealous." ”
Chen Jiayi said to the cabin: "Those people also underestimate us. ”
As the Chinese and Japanese personnel walked out of the cabin again, Chen Jiayi just sneered, these people didn't find anything, and naturally they couldn't rely on their ship.
Now they no longer have any reason to restrict the passage of Han Peacock's ships, and they have no choice but to get out of the way.
As the Sino-Japanese maritime surveillance ship moved, the steamer on the other side also began to move, and Chen Jiayi sneered: "Look, the Americans have made a move, and it seems that their intelligence capabilities are still beyond our expectations." ”
Han Peacock said: "This is to blame you, who made your fishing actions so deceptive, you must know that the eyes of the sky are always watching us, I don't understand, seeing your actions, I think I am salvaging a sunken ship!" ”
"Acting is a full set! If it weren't for that, how could these bull ghosts and snake gods pop out on their own? Chen Jiayi said.
The dragon scales said: "The first step to startle the grass and the snake can start to act, right?" ”
"It's okay, otherwise after our dragon plan begins, we will also have to face such a situation, if that sea area is exposed, there will really be nothing to do with us." Chen Jiayi said.
"Are you sure of your actions?" At this time, Han Peacock was a little worried.
He is not worried about the Chinese and Japanese maritime surveillance ships, but the American salvage ships are not under the control of Chen Jiayi and them, and it seems that it is not so easy to let them complete their ideas.
"Look at the Americans' ships starting to move." Dragon Scale Road.
Han Peacock looked at the Americans' salvage ship a little worriedly: "Song Min, those things you prepared work, right?" (To be continued......)
