Chapter 290 The Sunken Ironclad Ship
"Oh? What did it say?"

Qin Xu on the sofa asked casually, this special year obviously did not bring him any special associations.

After slightly raising his head to look at Mobeka on the opposite side, Qin Xu continued to lower his head and looked at the exquisite panoramic design in his hand.It seems that there is a peerless beauty hidden there, which makes people never get tired of it.

"That-that naval officer, named Anthony Kipling, is-is the captain of the ironclad ship Monit."

Mobeka on the opposite side lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at Qin Xu, and her voice seemed a little hesitant, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"What? The captain of the Ironclad Monitt? That's quite an officer? Why is he there?"

He raised his head in surprise, and looked at Mobeka on the opposite side. Qin Xu was a little curious. The iron-clad ship Monite, was it the strongest war weapon at that time?

However, Qin Xu scratched his head with some doubts. It stands to reason that the person who can become the captain of the ironclad ship Monit cannot be an unknown person, right?How come history has never heard of this incident?
"Yes, it's the captain of the USS Monit ironclad ship. However, when that ironclad ship was returning to the mainland of the United States, it encountered a strong typhoon in the Atlantic Ocean, and then unfortunately hit a rock and sank."

Recalling the slightly scribbled handwriting on the last two pages of the notebook, it is not difficult for Mobeka to imagine the despair that this ironclad captain named Anthony Kipling felt at that time.

"The ironclad ship Monit sank? How is it possible? Haven't heard of it?"

Now, Qin Xu can no longer continue to look at the exquisite panorama.He looked up at Mobeka in astonishment, are you sure you're not joking?

Ironclad Monit What's that?That was the ironclad ship that represented invincibility at the time!Just a strong typhoon can sink it?
As for hitting the rocks, what are you kidding, let’s not talk about what the sonar on the cruiser is for, even if it really hits the rocks, even that big guy with rough skin and thick flesh will not sink, right?

"This, this."

Mobeka was a little hesitant, and didn't know what to say. In fact, no one knew the sinking of the Monit ironclad ship was because of the embarrassing reason for the sinking.

Moreover, this ironclad ship Monite was ordered by the US Federation at that time and operated in secret, so it is still unknown to outsiders.

"What's wrong? Why did it sink?"

Mobeka's behavior aroused Qin Xu's curiosity again, so he couldn't wait to ask.

"This, because the ship was full of treasures plundered from China at that time, so, so it was a bit overweight, and it failed to avoid the hidden reef in time. It sank an hour after hitting the reef."

With her head down, Mobeka's voice was like a mosquito's. Indeed, in front of her lover, she was telling about her own country and the atrocities she had done to her lover's motherland, which really made her a little embarrassed.

"1860? Treasure looted from China? Are you not mistaken?"

Looking at Mobeka in astonishment, Qin Xu stood up suddenly, are you sure you are right?Why is it so strange what happened today.

Did the United States invade China in 1860?What are you kidding?
If I remember correctly, in 1860, it should be the time of the Second Opium War, right?

Isn't that a good thing done by the two bastards of Britain and France?How did it get involved with the United States?

"I, I don't know, it's just written in the diary!"

She glanced timidly at Qin Xu, Mobeka didn't know much about history, she just read what was said in the diary.

"Baby, what kind of treasures are there? Where did you get it? Did you mention it in the diary?"

Patting Mobeka on the shoulder as if comforting, Qin Xu signaled her to relax a bit, this kind of thing that happened a long time ago has nothing to do with her.

"It seems to be from some garden. They are all gold, jade, and emerald."

Recalling the translated content in his mind, he said with some uncertainty.

"What garden? 1860? Yuanzi? Yuanmingyuan?!!!"

Talking non-stop, Qin Xu's slightly confused eyes seemed to see the most incredible things in the world, and they opened wider and wider!

Almost subconsciously, Qin Xu stood up abruptly, his eyes full of incredulity, staring closely at Mobeka at the side, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of this matter from her beautiful face like a flower generally.

"Qin, Qin Xu, what's wrong with you? Are you all right?"

Stared at by Qin Xu's sharp eyes, Mobeka, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, stood up involuntarily and looked at him with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my mind is a little messy."

After waving his hand, Qin Xu sat back on the sofa again. From Mobeka's sincere eyes, he had already got the answer he wanted!

Just, how could this happen?

Qin Xu's mind is full of incredible and shocking!
How can these things be loaded on American battleships?
Weren't those two countries the only ones involved in the looting?
Is it?

They also participated in it?Are these benefits?
The more he thought about it, the more Qin Xu felt that it was possible. It must be so. It was not surprising. Back then, there were only two countries, and they dared to challenge the Kingdom of Heaven where Yu Wei was still alive. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.No one was behind to support them, and Liang and the others didn't dare to make a mistake.

Moreover, it's no wonder that they set fire to it afterwards, so how many rare jade objects were lost in the Old Summer Palace has not been counted until now.

It turns out that the root of the matter is all here!
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Xu felt that his head was getting bigger, so he stopped thinking about it so much. This kind of guesswork was what he hated the most.

"Baby, in that diary, is there any record of the place where the battleship sank? Also, how did he escape?"

Staring at Mobeka who sat down again, Qin Xu continued to ask. According to his observation, someone should have lived there for a while.

In other words, it means that this unlucky guy escaped by himself, rather than being washed in by the waves.

"I didn't write much about this. It seems that he was near here when he woke up. At that time, it was still a virgin forest. He tried to walk through it a few times, but he couldn't get out. In the end, he simply looked for it casually. I entered a cave and stayed here first, hoping that fishermen who go out to sea will meet him by chance.”

As she spoke, Mobeka took a sip of her coffee to moisten her thirsty throat due to talking too much.

"What about the location of the shipwreck? Has anyone brought it up? There are a lot of good guys on that ship, right? Hundreds of millions of dollars may not be able to buy these!"

At the end of the voice, Qin Xu specially emphasized his tone, but he knew what the most precious shipwreck treasure in the sea would be!
It is neither the tons of gold and silver coins, nor the arms business that holds its head, but the kind that breaks when touched, ancient Chinese porcelain,
"This, it seems that I only mentioned the approximate location, which is next to a small island near the Pacific Ocean."

Although he didn't know why Qin Xu asked this, Mobeka still told what he knew in detail.
