Eight Hundred and Eighteenth. The Republic

Qin Shiou had no choice but to explain in embarrassment, saying that Billy was not kneeling, but a sitting posture that Americans are used to.

Qin's father suddenly realized that he nodded, put down the barbecue and let them continue to play, and left quickly, he was also embarrassed.

Billy was even more embarrassed, but it wasn't this matter that was embarrassing. He didn't know why Father Qin was so nervous. He was embarrassed: "You actually used luck to find the sunken ship?! God, please forgive me! I This partner has failed too much!"

Little Black was also speechless. He patted Qin Shiou on the shoulder and said, "I won't talk about it tonight. Let's drink and start tomorrow. Please ask Master Billy for more advice on how to find the sunken ship!"

Later, when the four of them drank a case of beer, Little Blake began to regret what he just said 'no talk about work'? This is really a stupid statement, it should be talking about work, otherwise it would be crazy to listen to Billy talking about his relationship history!

Holding a bottle of beer, Billy took Blake with the other hand, and said sadly: "...Dude, a playboy like you can't understand my feelings, I love that lovely girl! Unlike you, seeing a woman love one, and only love the feeling when you are with them..."

Little Blake's face is full of sadness, why is he a playboy? Yes, I have had sex with quite a few women, but can you beat Billy the Miami pervert? What face do you have to pretend to be pure in front of yourself?

Billy continued: "I went to China after the girl I loved, but she turned me down. She said she wanted to find an upright, positive young man to spend her life with, not a prodigal son! Oh God. Who Tell this girl my past? Qin, tell me, it's not you..."

After talking, Billy's voice was like howling a wolf. The little carrot head in the villa turned his head to listen, and came out curiously to look this way, vaguely familiar.

Qin Shiou hurriedly swore: "God knows. Billy, my good buddy. I never told Huang Jiajia about your bad love scene! Absolutely not!"

Billy pulled Blake's pathetic sobs, then raised the bottle and roared, "Dry it, guys, brother's drink!"

Little Blake's face changed a little. Billy's wine was just a little bit off the bottom of the bottle, and he had just opened a new bottle.

Billy came here tonight as if he was drunk, but he wanted to pull a backer when he was about to die, and successfully got little Blake drunk, so Qin Shiou had to ask Nelson to drive them to the hotel in the town.

After sobering up the next day, Billy returned to normal, but there was still a little melancholy in his eyes,

This made him more attractive, a handsome blond youth with melancholy eyes. This is a character that only exists in comics, the favorite of rotten girls.

Billy came to find Qin Shiou and said, "Looking for sunken ships. It's not like you, buddy, you have to know that among the tens of thousands of sunken ships on the seabed, there are only a very small number, less than one percent of which have circulating Wealth. Big items like gold and jewelry don’t just come across.”

Qin Shiou agreed with this point of view. He has a gold finger like the Seagod Consciousness, but he hasn't found a valuable sunken ship for a long time.

Billy continued: "Do you know how much time our Odyssey company spent preparing and searching before we found the first valuable sunken ship, the Socrates? Twelve years!"

Qin Shiou said, "You mean, I need to be more patient?"

Billy looked at him strangely, and said, "No, what I'm going to say later is the point. After we found the Socrates, we searched for the second shipwreck with treasure. Do you know how long it took? Only two year!"

"Your mother is blown up, don't be so devious, just say it!"

Billy took out a small book, opened it carefully, and said, "During the first twelve years of our company, we did not only search for a ship named Socrates, but also searched for the Socrates by various means. A lot of shipwreck information, understand, information!"

Of course Qin Shiou understood what he meant. Most sunken ships had an approximate location, and by searching around there, the ship could be found.

He knew this, but the location information he could find were all ordinary shipwrecks. The information on shipwrecks became more transparent after World War II, and the valuable shipwrecks were all before World War II. How could he find them?

Billy sighed: "I gave you a digital version of the shipwreck information record book."

Qin Shiou said awkwardly: "Maybe I deleted it by mistake..."

It doesn't matter, the booklet in Billy's hand, although there are few information about shipwrecks recorded, each one is more reliable.

The two discussed the information of these shipwrecks, and determined a goal: "The shipwreck of the Republic."

The Republic is a well-known shipwreck in modern American history. The accident happened just after the end of the American Civil War. At that time, the steamer was fully loaded with cargo and coins and set off from New York to New Orleans to support the post-war reconstruction of New Orleans.

Only two days after sailing out of New York, this 210-foot giant ship in the steam age was unfortunately targeted by the Barbary pirates, the deadly rivals of the U.S. Navy at the time. All goods and coins.

According to the reliable investigation of the Osside Company, the property stolen from the Republic was more than 400,000 US dollars in gold and silver coins.

Today, one and a half centuries later, the value of gold and silver coins has far exceeded the face value of the year. Just a 10-dollar Yingyang gold coin has a market price ranging from 3,000 US dollars to 500,000 US dollars!

The grievances between the U.S. Navy and the Barbary pirates have a long history and began after the end of the American Revolutionary War. It can be said that it was these pirates that led to the birth of the U.S. Navy.

In the early nineteenth century, the Barbary pirates once forced the US emperor into a state of embarrassment. Later, with great efforts, the US 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 again. It was in this situation that the Republic was captured.

But at that time, although the U.S. Navy was hurt, its foundation was still there. When it learned that the Republic was taken away, the angry navy sent elites to chase it all the way, and the two sides fought in the current high seas of the North Atlantic.

As a result of the battle, the Barbary pirates were wiped out. Although the navy rescued the Republic, the gold and silver coins on board were moved to the pirate ship, and the pirate ship sank several thousand meters deep on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

With the technology of the U.S. Navy at the time, it was naturally impossible to complete such deep salvage.

It happened that a hurricane happened at that time, and the navy ships had to return to the port. They left marking balloons on the battlefield. As a result, the balloons disappeared because of the hurricane. Later, the location of the battlefield became blurred. Let it go. (to be continued)
