Big Islander 2

Chapter 126 Children of the Sea

Twisted Braid warmly invited everyone to watch a tennis match, and when they parted, they honored the bet that day.But seeing how happy she was talking with He Tiantian, Tang Jide didn't have the nerve to ask for money: Friends, talking about money hurts feelings.

"Okay, I'll go back to Peach Blossom Island in the future." Twist Braid didn't insist on this either. She was straightforward by nature and dared to think and do. Moreover, she was also full of curiosity about the magical place Peach Blossom Island.

A few days later, the captain returned to Hong Kong Island in a hurry and reported the salvage results to Tang Jade: "Salvage of sunken ships is indeed the most lucrative business, and the dividends have been nearly 1000 million US dollars in just over a month!"

Seeing the high-spirited appearance of Mr. Captain, Tang Jide felt that it was necessary to remind him to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, so he hummed twice in his nose: "It's barely passable, keep working hard, we salvage the Awa Maru, and we will earn a net profit of [-]." [-] million."

Mr. Captain jumped up in shock, his beard straightened up: "Oh, God, how is this possible!"

"Quack, of course it's true, otherwise, do you think Datou can sponsor my pheasant to award [-] million?" As Mr. Captain's former pet, others don't believe the nonsense of pheasants, but Mr. Captain believes it the most.Just when he was immersed in the incomparable shock, he heard the pheasant continue to say: "Do you also have to show your support for me, just refer to Datou's standard—"

Mr. Captain suddenly became depressed: I have been busy with wind and waves for more than a month, but it is not enough for you.The same is salvaging sunken ships, the gap seems to be a bit big.

Perhaps it was stimulated, and after a short rest, Mr. Captain threw himself into the salvage work in a hurry.Xiao Xiami also gave him a suggestion: must take care of public and private interests.When traveling in the ocean, you must send octopus soldiers to search and detect more, and independent salvage is the best.

However, Tang Jide still has a heart problem that has not been resolved, that is, a few fossils of BJ's skull. These things are placed in the treasure house, a bit like a time bomb, and the big brother is always thinking about it.

Anyway, this period of time was relatively free, so he took the initiative to attack and called the middleman Lao Leng, expressing his intention to continue to cooperate in salvage.

Very rare, Lao Leng made a joke: "Big head, you have tasted the sweetness—"

Tang Jide hecked twice, and said vaguely: "Isn't it just to pay off the debt?"

Old Leng is really mean: "If Peach Blossom Island's economy is relatively tight, the country can provide some assistance." Now that the two parties have reached an agreement, as the strong backing of Peach Blossom Island, they must act as their backing.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jide declined politely. Although Tang Datou has no great political wisdom, he has always believed in the principle of self-reliance, because the debts owed to others must be repaid after all.

Lao Leng was not reluctant, and after contacting the country, he gave Tang Jide a reply: Because he just successfully salvaged the Awa Maru, there is no major salvage plan for the time being, and the current focus is on detecting the sunken ship.

As far as shipwrecks are concerned, there are at least hundreds of ancient shipwrecks on the bottom of the South China Sea, most of which are made of porcelain.But Tang Jide also understood his intentions: obviously he didn't want to let you get a share of the pie.

Because with the continuous development of domestic salvage technology, these small and medium-sized ancient shipwrecks can be salvaged independently; unless it is a big guy like the Awa Maru, it is too difficult to seek cooperation.

"Uncle Datou, ask them if they want to salvage Lisbon pills?" Xiao Xiami wrote a note to Tang Jide on the sidelines.

Although Tang Jide didn't know where another Lisbon Maru appeared, but when he heard the word "Maru" behind it, he knew it was the boat of the little devil. Isn't there a saying: "Little Japan's boat-it's the end (Maru)" ).

After hearing Tang Jide mention the Lisbon Maru, Lao Leng was also taken aback: "Boss, this ship was mainly used to transport prisoners of war at that time, so there wasn't so much gold and silver treasure on board?" A famous sunken ship that was sunk, but unlike the huge wealth on the Awa Maru, this ship was mainly used to escort nearly [-] prisoners of war, most of whom were British prisoners of war.As a result, because there was no mark, it was sunk by a submarine of the US Pacific Fleet in the Zhoushan Islands, and most of the prisoners of war on board were buried at the bottom of the sea.

Tang Jide glanced at the note that Xiao Xiami handed him again, and then typed a haha: "Old Leng, you really think we are money fans, isn't it just to find the BJ man's skull. I didn't find it on Awawan , we always feel like we haven’t done our job.”

There have been many speculations about the missing BJ man's skull, and people generally agree that it is on the Awa Maru; of course, some people analyze that it may be on the Lisbon Maru.In fact, all shipwrecks that traveled between China and Japan during that period are objects of suspicion.

Datou is such a good comrade—Although Lao Leng has always been extremely calm, this time there are waves of waves in his heart: "Datou, I salute you on behalf of the party and the people. Don't worry, I will definitely ask my superiors for instructions and work hard to make this happen." Yes."

Although Lao Leng was very active, he encountered great resistance in salvaging Lisbon Maru.Unexpectedly, this resistance did not come from the country, but from far away England.Because the shipwreck was mainly British prisoners of war, and according to the habits of Great Britain, those who were buried at the bottom of the sea generally would not disturb the peace of the dead.

Of course, Tang Jide scoffed at this statement: Apart from the United States, Great Britain's marine salvage industry is the most developed, and it is not because of interests.So I directly called Her Majesty the Queen over the ocean, and after a few greetings, I turned to the topic.

Her Majesty the Queen is still very face-saving, and she fully agreed.Her Majesty the Queen has personally experienced the unusualness of the owner of Peach Blossom Island and his little princess.As she grows older, the Queen's health is also deteriorating. In fact, the Queen has great ambitions. She wants to pass the throne to Prince Charles on her [-]th birthday.

But in order to achieve this great goal, her body needs the conditioning of the master of Datou Island and the little princess.Therefore, for Tang Jide's request, as long as it is not too excessive, Her Majesty the Queen will generally not refuse.Only in this way, Prince Charles will be tragic.

The influence of Her Majesty the Queen cannot be underestimated. Half a month later, Tang Jide received invitation letters from China and England almost at the same time: the three parties worked together to salvage the Lisbon Pill.

Although it was a tripartite cooperation, the British side did not participate in the salvage work. They mainly sent some rescue organizations and a group of priests to be responsible for salvaging the bones of the British army.

Therefore, Tang Jide led the octopus army and marched into the Zhoushan Islands.Under the water, Brother Octopus had a box wrapped around his wrists and feet, which contained the five BJ human skull fossils, ready to be replaced at any time.

The meeting place is a small island called Qingbang Island in the Zhoushan Archipelago, which is the closest to the sinking site of the Lisbon Maru.

From a distance, I saw several large ships parked on the sea a few nautical miles away from the small island. Because there was no deep-water port, the large ships could not dock.

On the big ship, the deputy minister who had cooperated with Tang Jide to salvage Awa Maru was holding up a telescope and watching the distant sea.Seeing Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami undulating on the sea, Mr. Vice Minister showed a smile on his face.For their way of going out to sea, I am somewhat envious: these are the people who really belong to the sea.

A ship next to it came from England. When they received the notice from Mr. Vice Minister that the salvage team from Peach Blossom Island had arrived, they also looked eagerly at the sea.They are also full of curiosity about the salvage team that is now in the limelight.But after looking for a long time, I didn't see any ships approaching on the sea.

"Oh, God, what did I see!" As Tang Jide and his party approached quickly, they could already be seen with the naked eye, so the British guys on the boat all exclaimed. They never thought that they "swimmed" over .

Seeing his old friend, Tang Jide waved his hand happily to Mr. Deputy Minister, and then he was thrown by the big octopus below, and he rose into the air like a trapeze person and flew towards the big ship, causing the people on board to exclaim .

"You can't put in more effort—" Halfway through the flight, Tang Jide was exhausted and fell headlong into the sea.He only had time to complain about the powerless giant octopus, and then plunged into the sea with a bang.

At this time, the benefits of having wings are revealed. I saw the pheasant gloating and flapping its wings as if showing off, and flew onto the big ship, complaining: "Don't fly like others if you don't have wings— —”

"Is Mr. Tang alright?" The deputy minister was a little worried. Falling into the water from a height of more than ten meters would definitely kill a person without training.

While speaking, Tang Jide had already reemerged from the sea. He probably lost face because of a fall, so he simply used Dengping's unique skill of crossing the water, stepping on the waves, and galloped towards the big ship.

The people on the nearby boats were dumbfounded, especially those high-spirited British guys, who thought it was a special effect shot in a movie.

Beside the deputy minister, an old man in his nineties suddenly jumped up from his seat.Given his advanced age, it was a bit unexpected that he could actually do this kind of action: "This, this must be the manifestation of Mazu—"

The old man's face was weathered, perhaps due to working at the seaside all year round, his skin was dark, and his eyes were slightly red and swollen.The reason why he appeared next to the deputy minister was not because of his high status, but because the old man had rowed his own small fishing boat and participated in the rescue of the British prisoners of war on board when the Lisbon Maru sank.As a witness to history, the old man Xie Ade was invited here.

Tang Jide boarded the ship along the hanging ladder. Just as he was about to say hello to the deputy minister, he saw an old man rushing in front of him, his hands full of calluses tightly grasping his arm: "Young man, you are good at water, this is the sea son!"

Tang Jide could feel the kindness from the rough hand of the other party, so he said twice: "Old man, you are old and strong, can you still go fishing in the sea now?" He can also see that the person in front of him is an old man fishermen.

"Old man, the sea is the world for you young people." Xie Ade patted Tang Jide's arm vigorously, "Walk around, come to my house for a while, and there is a jar of old wine that has been hidden for ten years."

The deputy minister next to him couldn't help but sigh in his heart: people are more angry than others, I am also a deputy ministerial official, but the old man has never looked at him directly; how can he see this big head right?

How did he know that the children of the sea will always only respect the strong who can fight the wind and waves.
