Golden Fishery
Vol 2 Chapter 818: .Republic
Qin Shiou had to explain embarrassingly, saying that Billy was not kneeling, it was a sitting posture that Americans are used to.
Father Qin nodded suddenly, put down the barbecue and let them continue to play, and left by himself, he was also embarrassed.
Billy is even more embarrassed, but this is not the embarrassment. He still doesn't know why Father Qin is so nervous. He is embarrassed: "You tried your luck to find the sunken ship?! God, forgive me! Me! This partner has failed too much!"
Little Blake was also speechless. He patted Qin Shiou’s shoulder and said, “I won’t talk about this tonight. We’ll have a drink. From tomorrow on, please ask Master Billy for more advice on how to find the sunken ship!”
Behind, after four people had their stomachs with a case of beer, Little Blake began to regret it. What did he just say, ‘don’t talk about work’? This is really a stupid thing, it's right to talk about work, or it would be crazy to listen to Billy about his relationship history!
Billy grabbed a bottle of beer and held little Black with his other hand, and said sadly: "...Man, you, such a **** can't understand how I feel, I love that lovely girl! Unlike you, seeing a woman loves one, and only loves the feeling of doing ai with them..."
With a face full of sadness like little Blake, why is his old man a playboy? Yes, I have had relationships with many women, but can you have more than a Miami pervert? What face do you have to pretend to be pure in front of yourself?
Billy continued: "I chased my beloved girl to China, but she refused me. She said that she hoped to find a righteous and active young man to spend her life with, not a prodigal son! Oh. God, who Tell this girl about my past? Qin, tell me, it's not you..."
The words come to the back. Billy's voice was the same as howling a wolf. The little turnip in the villa listened with his head to the side, and he came out curiously and looked here, with a vaguely familiar feeling.
Qin Shiou quickly swears: "God knows. Billy, my good buddy, I have never told Huang Jiajia about your sordid love scene! Absolutely not!"
Billy pulled the little Blake into a mournful sob, then raised the bottle and shouted: "Dry it, guys, it's the brothers, so I drank the wine in his hand!"
Little Blake's face changed a little, Billy's wine only had a little bottom, and he had just opened a new bottle of wine in his hand.
Billy got drunk tonight. However, he had to pull a pad before he died, and successfully drunk little Blake, so Qin Shiou had to ask Nelson to drive them to the hotel in town.
After waking up the next day, Billy returned to normal, but his eyes were still a little melancholy, which made him more attractive and a handsome blond young man with melancholy eyes. This is a character only found in comics, and a favorite of Fu-girls.
Billy came to find Qin Shiou and said, "Looking for shipwrecks is not like you, man, you must know that among the tens of thousands of shipwrecks on the seabed, there are only a handful of them, and less than one percent of the shipwrecks are available for circulation. Wealth, such as gold and jewellery. Such big projects are not something that you can come across casually."
Qin Shiou agreed with this view. He has a golden finger like Poseidon Consciousness, and he hasn't found a valuable shipwreck for a long time.
Billy continued: "Do you know how much time our Odyssey company spent preparing and searching before finding the first valuable shipwreck Socrates? Full 12 years!"
Qin Shiou said: "You mean, I need to be more patient?"
Billy looked at him strangely. "No, what I want to say later is the point. After finding Socrates. We searched for the second shipwreck with treasure. Do you know how long it took? Only two years!"
"Your mother exploded, don't let him go around, just say it!"
Billy took out a small notebook, opened it cautiously, and said: "In the first twelve years of our company, not only was it looking for a Socrates ship, but through various means, A lot of shipwreck information, understand, information!"
Qin Shiou certainly understood what he meant. Most shipwrecks have a rough location. Search around there to find the ship.
He knows this, but the location information he can find is for ordinary shipwrecks. The information on shipwrecks was more transparent after World War II, and valuable shipwrecks were before World War II. How did he find this?
Billy sighed: "I gave you an electronic version of the shipwreck information record manual."
Qin Shiou said awkwardly: "Maybe I deleted it by mistake..."
It’s okay. The booklet in Billy’s hand contains less information about the shipwreck, but each one is more reliable.
The two discussed the information about the shipwrecks and determined a goal: "The shipwreck of the Republic."
The Republic is a well-known shipwreck in modern American history. The accident happened at the end of the American Civil War. At that time, the steamer was loaded with cargo and coins and set off from New York, ready to go to New Orleans to support the post-war reconstruction of New Orleans.
This 210-foot-long ship in the steam age was only two days out of New York, but was unfortunately spotted by the then U.S. Navy rivals Barbary pirates. The pirates dispatched two Clippers to attack the USS Republic and **** it away. All goods and coins.
According to the reliable investigation of Osid Company, the property stolen from the Republic was gold and silver coins exceeding 400,000 U.S. dollars.
And today, a century and a half later, the value of gold and silver coins has far exceeded the face value of that year. Just a 10 US dollar Eagle Yang gold coin has a market price ranging from US$3,000 to US$500,000!
The grievances between the U.S. Navy and the Barbary pirates have a long history, starting after the end of the American Revolution. It can be said that it was these pirates that contributed to the birth of the U.S. Navy.
In the early nineteenth century, the Barbary pirates once forced the U.S. emperor into embarrassment. Later, after strenuous efforts, the U.S. Navy severely damaged these pirates in the two Barbary Wars in North Africa and successfully stationed troops in the Mediterranean.
Unfortunately, when the American Civil War broke out, the navy's strength declined, and the Barbary pirates revived. The Republic was captured in this situation.
But at that time, although the U.S. Navy was hurt, the foundation still existed. Knowing that the Republic was taken away, the angry navy sent elites to chase and kill it. The two sides fought on the high seas of the North Atlantic.
The result of the battle was that the Barbary pirates were annihilated. Although the Navy rescued the Republic, the gold and silver coins on the ship were moved to the pirate ship, and the pirate ship sank several kilometers deep into the Atlantic Ocean.
With the technology of the US Navy at the time, it was naturally impossible to complete this kind of deep salvage.
A hurricane happened at that time, and the navy ships had to return to the port. They left marked balloons on the battlefield. As a result, the balloon disappeared because of the hurricane. Later, the location of the battlefield became obscured. Then the sunken treasure was lost. Nothing more. (To be continued~^~)
