Chapter 272 History of Western Pirates

There are many countries along the Mediterranean Sea, with developed European countries to the north and impoverished African countries to the south. The polarization is serious.One side of the sea, separated by two worlds.

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the oldest seas in the world, with a history even older than the Atlantic Ocean.

Its coast is also one of the birthplaces of ancient civilizations. Here is the splendid culture of ancient Egypt, the prosperity of the ancient Babylonian Kingdom and the Persian Empire, and the birthplace of European civilizations - Aegean civilization, ancient Greek civilization and ancient Roman civilization.

"It's close to Libya, is it really okay?" Fang Xing couldn't help asking Liu Shijun.

He heard that the country has been in chaos in recent years.

In the past, the people of this country lived under the rule of Gaddafi, and they were instigated by countries such as Europe and the United States to overthrow Gaddafi's rule.

Well!Days are getting harder.

It can be seen that Europe, the United States and other countries have never had good intentions.Listening to what they say is basically complete.

Liu Shijun rented a salvage ship at a high price, as well as related employees.At present, it is already very close to the location of the treasure, just waiting to make a fortune.

"What can happen? The more chaotic the country, the easier it is to use money to deal with it." Liu Shijun didn't care at all.

He has already thrown money in and made some connections.It can be said that he can now run rampant in the territorial waters of this country without hindrance.

Besides, China is actually very popular in Africa, and there are relatively few forces to provoke.

have to!Fang Xing didn't say anything more.

"Brother, do you think this is a pirate's treasure?" Liu Shijun asked.

"Is it strange? In the past, the Mediterranean Sea was largely ruled by pirates." Fang Xing said.

What he said is not nonsense. Since the beginning of the 16th century, the Mediterranean Sea has been ruled by pirates, so the Mediterranean Sea can be called the "Sea of ​​Pirates".

That is to say, since the period of great voyages, the Mediterranean Sea has always been a paradise for pirates.

Sometimes even nations acted as pirates and went around looting.

So it's no secret that there are pirate treasures in the Mediterranean.A large number of ancient shipwrecks containing gold, silver and jewelry have always been the target of salvage companies.

"So serious?" Liu Shijun was taken aback.

Some people in the live broadcast room couldn't believe it.

In some people's opinion, Westerners are more civilized, and pirates are cruel, so it should not be so.

"Normal! Studying the history of Western civilization, especially the history of ancient civilizations in the Mediterranean countries, must involve the issue of pirates. In the eyes of many people, developed countries, such as Spain and other European countries, have played the role of pirates.

To be honest, the rise of Europe in modern times is largely due to plundering to make a fortune.Among the seven continents, except Antarctica, which continent has not been scraped by them? "Fang Xing commented unceremoniously.

The development of Europe is largely due to the plundering of the world during the period of great voyages.

It is a pity that China was not able to enter at that time.

In fact, it was not that China did not enter the market at that time, but gave up halfway.

China at that time was in the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng He's voyages to the West were also in this period.In addition, China's maritime trade activities are relatively moderate, just doing business, communicating and trading with other countries, not as ugly as Western food.

As soon as Zheng He died, China's sea activities stopped immediately and a sea ban was imposed.

At this time, the sea ban was simply to prevent Japanese pirates.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi abolished the sea ban.But who knew that the old boy Qianlong picked it up again, and he completely closed the country, which caused the decline of the Chinese nation and has been beaten up to this day.

"Attention, the front is coming soon."

Everyone immediately stop in-depth conversations on this topic.

The salvage ship stopped on the sea, and various instruments began to operate.This salvage ship has a high degree of automation, and Liu Shijun spent a lot of money to get it.

It wasn't long before they found the treasure.

"found it."

Liu Shijun and others were overjoyed, and quickly asked: "What?"

As you can see from the pictures taken underwater, the treasure is hidden in a cave on a coral reef.

However, when the lights of the underwater robot shone in, it reflected a golden light.

Everyone knows that is gold.

"There must be gold, I don't know anything else. First let the underwater robot go in to find out if there is any danger, and then we will send people down to carry it." The person in charge of the salvage ship is a reliable Chinese.

Gold has been a symbol of wealth since ancient times.

Especially in the land of Africa, the gold reserves are amazing.Therefore, in the pirate's treasure, gold naturally became the protagonist.

The underwater robot swam in, and the place where the light hit was almost all gold. Although some places had been covered by seaweed and other creatures, it still couldn't stop the light from the gold.

"No danger, all right, now get the divers ready."

The sea depth here is only 40 meters, which is not difficult for divers.

It's reasonable to think about it. In ancient times, without diving equipment, even if pirates were proficient in water, it was impossible for pirates to hide gold too deep. After all, they still wanted to use it.

"There are so many, how many tons must there be!" Liu Shijun was overjoyed.

There is nothing more exciting than a treasure hunt.

It seems that following Fang Xing to go abroad is a very correct decision.Leaving aside the benefits obtained earlier, just this treasure is enough to make a lot of money!

Roughly estimated, how come it looks like four or five tons?
According to the current gold price, one ton of gold is two to three billion yuan.

In other words, the value of this treasure is likely to exceed one billion yuan.In addition to the cost of salvage, etc., he can also divide more than [-] million.

The treasure information was provided by Fang Xing, so Fang Xing took half of it.

The other half was divided among Liu Shijun, Xu Qing, and Cui Mingzhu.Among the three, Liu Shijun contributed the most money and efforts, he got 5%, Cui Mingzhu got [-]%, and Xu Qing, who made soy sauce, got [-]%.

Don't underestimate the 5%. If there is a profit of one billion, Xu Qing can get 5000 million.

You know, she didn't do anything!Take so much for nothing.

If it is a different person, there is absolutely no such good thing.

As the divers went into the water, gold, silver and jewelry were brought up one after another soon.Among them, gold accounted for the vast majority.Some are gold vessels that have been made into vessels, others are gold coins, gold nuggets, etc.

The audience in the live broadcast room was hooked.

There's nothing quite like having a pile of gold right in front of you.

I usually look at Fang Xingjianbao, those antiques and artworks are indeed very valuable, but people don't know how to appreciate them!

Gold is different, you like and appreciate it when you look at it.

"Damn it! I made a lot of money."

"Leave quickly after salvaging, so as not to be a bunch of countries wrangling again."

"No way? In foreign countries, whoever finds the treasure belongs to him?"

"That's what I said, but when a lot of wealth is involved and the country is tempted, then it has to be contested. In the past, there were foreign salvage companies that salvaged an ancient sunken ship with a total value of billions of dollars. There are lawsuits in several countries!"

"In short, it's safer to salvage and transport it back as soon as possible."

"This time, Xu Qing will also get tens of millions. It won't be long before she will become a rich woman with a net worth of over [-] million, right?"

"A rich woman can be a housewife if she asks for a babysitter."

"Is it useful? They only fall in love with the other big boss."

"I really want to hang out with Mr. Fang! Do you still need some errands?"
