The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Mencius said: "Could it be fate, accept the righteousness, so the one who knows the fate does not stand under the rock wall. The one who does its best to die, the righteous fate is also right; the shackles of the dead are not the right fate." When Colombia had paid enough attention to its own salvage, it decided to leave first.

Since he has a value of at least several hundred billion, and can even reach trillions, it is not guilty of taking any risk. The person who is flashing will flash, and he will never do stupid things that stand under a dangerous wall.

Not only that, after a two-hour and 15-minute flight, the helicopter arrived in Cologne near the entrance to the Caribbean side of the Panama Canal, and landed directly on a US air force base. On the tarmac, more than 100 "joint forces" sent security guards. The staff has been waiting.

Zhang Nan took only part of the bodyguards when he left the "Searcher". He chose to go to Panama first because it was really an American territory: 3 years ago, the US military invaded Panama flagrantly because the Panamanian government wanted to take back the canal, and the result was straightforward. Changed someone's president.

The original Panamanian president was expelled from the Vatican embassy, ​​and the pope succumbed to the high pressure in Washington. This would make it absolutely safe for Zhang Nan to transit in Panama and leave.

He and Washington’s interests are deeply involved. Besides, the "joint force" has always had an excellent relationship with the U.S. military, and also has a good relationship with the upper echelons of the U.S. military in Panama. Everything is at stake.

The air base that Zhang Nan arrived at is said to be ready to be returned to the Panamanian government in a while, so there are no US Air Force combat aircraft, only a few small auxiliary aircraft.

In fact, it is just a gimmick, but because of this, it is very convenient for Zhang Nan to stay here temporarily, without the consent of the United States. The commander of the US Air Force in Panama can do it with a single call.

His own Boeing 767 was also waiting at the airport, but Zhang Nan was not in a hurry to return to New York. Instead, he was leaning against the city on one side and surrounded by jungle on the other three sides. The air force was not far from the Caribbean Sea. Lived in the base for two days.

Chatted with the local garrison chief, then went to Panama City on the Pacific side of the canal and wandered around before returning to New York.

Zhang Nan’s speed and accuracy in running the road were practiced. In fact, the crew of the "Searcher" also hoped that the boss would leave early: they all knew that as long as the boss returned to the United States, they would be able to do so as soon as the boss returned to the United States. Let go of your hands and feet outside.

As long as the boss leaves, it is impossible to be controlled and controlled by others. As long as the boss is not controlled by others, the super fierce Mr. Allen can make most countries in the world behave like crazy!

As soon as the boss took the people away, there were only a hundred people left on the ship. Thomas sent enough security personnel from his homeland to Panama. Among them, a platoon of fighters boarded the "Searcher" in batches by helicopter. The team is a retired US Navy colonel named Miles who has been stationed in Panama for many years.

There is a reason for asking him to board the ship. The military rank of Miles was not high when he retired, but his old superior who had a very good relationship is now the boss of the US military stationed in Panama, and other high-level officials are basically familiar with him. Can send combat aircraft to the Caribbean Sea in the name of training.

Training on the high seas, no one can say something is wrong!

Besides, in the Caribbean, apart from Cuba and the United States, other countries are almost a bunch of small sheep.

In the future, there will be a Venezuelan who can scream with Lao Mei, but now...

The 38-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Chavez’s "two-four" military coup failed for more than four months. Mr. Lieutenant Colonel will be thinking about life in prison, and it is far too early to be qualified to yell at Lao Mei.

To explain to the Pentagon and Washington, the U.S. Air Force in Panama came up with the name of this training, because the training will have some unexpected situations. Under the strong influence of the "joint force", many people in the U.S. military Don't mind doing something extraordinary in private for a friend's request.

"United Forces" has a good relationship with the Pentagon. It and its parent company also welcome retired US troops to join, and general officers can also get a good advisory position in each group under the Sunshine Star Group.

Getting a job in a large multinational company is a very good choice for US generals after retirement. Traditionally, multinational companies are also willing to join some retired generals with considerable energy.

Whether it's participating in company management or playing cards purely when needed, these old guys who have been in the army for many years are very useful, as long as they are paid a higher salary than in the army every year.

The military is in good contact, and that's not even counted. In order to occupy the position of public opinion, several United TV network staff who are bold enough to bring equipment on the "Searcher" number, ready to broadcast the world at any time.

Whether you want to get ahead in the company or because of your love of work, there will never be a shortage of reporters who are willing to take risks.

The boss has done everything he can for the guys, and the guys on the "Searcher" have worked hard enough to salvage and work overtime, 24 hours a day!

In order to achieve the highest work efficiency, the silver coins and the countless sea pearls that have been corroded by the seawater later discovered are temporarily ignored, and concentrated efforts to salvage the gold coins first.

The "Searcher" got rid of its arms, and the Colombian patrol boat tried to interfere when the signs were not right. The salvage ship was still big enough to occupy the site. How can you do it!

After a stalemate for two days, Andre, who stayed on the ship to command the combat personnel, simply asked some security personnel to bring MP5 submachine guns to the deck for the Colombians to watch.

Why is MP5?

There are more than just this kind of little guys with a short range on the boat, because Andre is confusing the other party, so that the Colombians think they are just like that.

Not only that, Andre has a back hand: many of his old men and former CIA people have already traveled in Colombia, not only in the capital Bogota, but also in the vicinity of several naval and air bases near the Caribbean Sea. .

This group of guys are drinking freshly squeezed tropical fruit juices, ready to wreak havoc on the already messy Colombia, and cover the salvage boats on the high seas.

Anyway, the number of various chaotic guerrillas and drug dealers in Colombia can be as large as the number of people in the vegetable market, and some firecrackers will take the initiative to jump out and take responsibility. Colombians have long been accustomed to explosions.

Everyone is very busy. As for Captain Jamie Bostwick, his job is to fight with the Colombians!

Zhang Nandao still didn't contact Washington and didn't let allies in Washington put pressure on the Colombian government. Why?

Because it's the San Jose under the water!

The gold salvaged from the shipwreck would be worth at least seven or eight billion U.S. dollars, or even more. If it was based on the price standard 20 years later, Zhang Nan had the final say, the treasure that was recovered this time could reach 20 billion U.S. dollars!

Such a sum of money is not a small amount of money to him. If you want to give a comparison, China’s foreign exchange reserves last year was 21.7 billion U.S. dollars, but according to the development trend in the next two years, China’s foreign exchange reserves will even go down a bit. .

More importantly: To put it bluntly, foreign exchange reserves are just a pile of paper, and more importantly, gold!

Nearly 200 tons of gold have been fished. The Spaniards not only loaded gold coins in the boat, but also a large amount of gold bricks of more than 10 kilograms in the bottom tank as ballast. This was discovered only the fourth day after the start of the salvage work. .

When Zhang Nan returned to the United States, it was estimated that there were still forty to fifty tons under the sea. This is truly incredible super wealth!

The San Jose has a full load and displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and the Spaniards stuffed almost 300 tons of cargo in it. It is a super treasure ship!

Don’t count the current value of these assets in US dollars. Just over 200 tons of gold can make a country without gold reserves rank among the top 20 gold reserves in the world. This would be like Belgium, Austria, and Spain with more than 200 tons of gold reserves. .

As for countries such as Turkey, Singapore, and even local tyrants like Saudi Arabia, their gold reserves are only more than 100 tons.

How many gold reserves does Colombia have?

A little over 6 tons!

If they knew the truth here, the Colombians would go crazy, and even dared to control the "Searcher" at the risk of not getting U.S. aid.

The U.S. dollar is paper at the critical moment, and gold in the treasury is hard-hearted!

The situation is getting more and more tense. Just 7 hours before Zhang Nan let Andre take command, the "Searcher" was still carrying out salvage operations from the sea.

Captain Jamie and diving captain Vita Bruno are thinking about fishing for a long time and then retreating, but the Colombian side should have determined that the shipwreck that the Searcher is salvaging is the San Jose, and the new patrol ship actually sent ordinary divers to think Interfere with the fishing operations here.

The salvage project is drawing to a close, and gold is basically no longer visible on the seabed. Even if there are leftovers, there are very few fish that slipped through the net.

Some of the silver coins were still scattered and not salvaged. There might be one or two tons, or seven or eight tons, plus twenty or thirty bronze cannons that had not been recovered in time.

The divers were about to come over and make trouble, and conflict broke out between the two sides. The "Searcher" fired a warning shot, and the divers on the seabed urgently floated up-Jamie and Andre both decided not to drag it anymore, and evacuate as soon as possible!

This was on the high seas. When the Colombians saw the "Searcher" ending their salvage operations, they shot a few shots into the sea indiscriminately according to the "peer-to-peer model". They didn't come up to make trouble again, and they blocked the "Searcher" far away. "'S bow direction.

Then...

Jamie Bostwick ordered the "Searcher" at full power, heading west, and not returning to the United States north, speeding up to a maximum speed of 17.9 knots and heading towards Panama.

What about the patrol boat that blocks the channel and has a displacement of 1,000 tons?

Jamie Bostwick didn’t bother to bother with each other. The average cargo ship would choose to change course and avoid it because of this situation, but the Colombians forgot one thing: The Seeker looks like a salvage ship, but it is actually a B1 class icebreaker. !

The B1 class icebreaker can easily and continuously crush 1.2 meters thick ice. The slightly upward, thick and blunt-blade bow is made of special thick steel plate!

If the Colombian navy patrol ship is unreasonably blocked and does not allow its passage, Mr. Captain will not mind splitting it in two!

Just like driving a car, you can bully the big one, and kill you if you don't let it!

Seeing that a large ship with a displacement of more than 20 times the displacement of one of its own ships unexpectedly rushed forward, the panicked Colombians quickly evaded, and did not dare to use the only heavy fire on the ship-a 20mm Oerlikon cannon. The "Searcher" fired.

This is an American ship, flying the Stars and Stripes!

Now in 1992, it is really hard to find a navy that dared to open fire on an American ship on the high seas for no reason!

The "Searcher" has not violated any international law, and has not even entered the territorial waters of other people's homes. If the Colombians still open fire on it in this case, it is serious that it is equivalent to going to war on Washington.

The Colombians were obviously not prepared for this. The patrol ship had to turn around at sea and plan to follow, and at the same time notify the superior support.

Then I urged sadly. The patrol boats are more than 30 years old. When the new boat was new, it could run at a speed of 20 knots. As a result, the horsepower was driven to the maximum. The speed was 17 knots and it couldn't get up!

The "Searcher" is a new ship, and it is not fully loaded. The speed actually ran out 18.1 knots, which was 0.2 faster than the designed maximum speed. Slowly dumped the patrol ship that had fallen behind because of turning around and accelerating more and more. Far.

The "Searcher" also began to flash people, and the colonel Myers on the ship immediately informed his old friends in Panama that he was ready to respond. There are two F16 fighter jets at Howard Air Force Base and Rodman Naval Air Station that have completed the first level of combat readiness training. "Prepare, fully armed, ready to take off at any time.

The pilots have been given a very clear "hint": Once they receive the order to take off, their task is to protect a private American research ship that may be threatened by the Colombian navy and air force, and to disperse Colombian ships and aircraft.

If the Colombians are attacking the scientific research ship, then these pilots can attack the Colombian ship and the same aircraft, and the safety of the scientific research ship must be absolutely guaranteed!

As for whether this is legal or not, the upper-level will be held accountable, the "hint" received by the pilots made it very clear: when the sky is falling, there will naturally be a tall man against it!

The generals don't care about the stars on their shoulders. Washington and the Pentagon are a combination of interests. Everything is just a business. The stars on their shoulders are very stable.

And this time, it’s not just a problem that someone is carrying over—starting from the “combat readiness training” on duty, the pilots’ ground handling and the base’s related personnel have already benefited, and it will also be based on what the pilots and the gang of guys did in the end. What makes a difference.

If what the pilots do in the end can't end, the relevant personnel will get dollars that they can't spend their lives, and there is no need to worry about new jobs, because the ship belongs to the famous Mr. Allen!

Some people won't buckle for money, but some will, if there are more people, everyone has them—the pilots waiting by the plane even hope to get the emergency takeoff order as soon as possible.

Once the order is issued, it is all money, a lot of money!

...

The guys on the ship will not put all their hopes on the help of the US troops stationed in Panama. The "Searcher" is a scientific salvage ship, not a merchant ship. It can carry weapons and prevent piracy. This is also an international practice.

This trip to the high seas off the coast of Colombia has long considered the possibility of interference from the other party. Now the ship looks ordinary, but it is actually armed to the teeth!

Two hours later, the patrol ship had been left behind more than three nautical miles away. Two bizarre twin-propeller aircraft approached the "Searcher" from a low altitude, and the ship's radar had actually spotted them a long time ago.

Andre and others recognized that it was an OV-10 Mustang attack aircraft, but ignored the call to stop the ship using the universal frequency of international navigation.

Not only did he not listen, he was also sprayed directly into the intercom by Captain Jamie: "This is the high seas. We are an American ship. If you dare to attack, it is piracy!

Don't think you are awesome, when our air force comes, you are nothing..."

Although Jamie is a captain, he should have the captain's demeanor, but he is also an American, and his temper is bad enough to come up!

Americans are a group with a sense of superiority.

The pilots of the two OV-10 Mustang attack aircraft estimated that they were so angry that they lit up the machine gun pods under the wings several times, but the Seeker still ignored them.

After hovering for a long time near the ship, he left, and made the last two postures to prepare for an attack. As a result, this posture was directly transmitted back to the United States by satellite by the staff of the United Television Network.

Zhang Nan was not afraid of big things, anyway, he would not travel to the place where the drug lord in Colombia was in trouble. After Henry Debosson asked if he wanted to broadcast live, he said: "Broadcast!"

It can only be said that the response of Columbians and Washington is really slow, just like the riots in Los Angeles three months ago. Don't expect Washington to respond quickly.

The old cloth in Washington is just a mess, the U.S. Embassy...not to mention that they can't control the high seas. Even in Colombia, the U.S. Embassy is not good!

Do it on your own.

More than two hours later, a light frigate flying the Colombian flag caught up with the "Searcher" at a high speed of 27 knots and approached the ship's port side less than 300 meters.

The frigate not only used the radio, but also used the tweeter to strictly order the "searcher" to stop for inspection, on the grounds that it entered the territorial waters of Colombia to steal the national machine-secret...

As a result, Captain Jamie replied: "200 nautical miles of your territorial waters? You are piracy!..."

In the end, Captain Jamie ignored the failure of the radio station.

Strategies are tactics. The frigate approached to a distance of about 200 meters in parallel and repeatedly called with a tweeter.

There was a stalemate for an hour, and the Colombian shot hard.

Audiences all over the United States are watching this chase at sea, worrying about their ships, and cursing the Colombian pirates at the same time!

The narrators of the TV network all added their enthusiasm, saying how much the Colombian goods accounted for in the drugs that flowed into the United States every year, directly portraying it as a country of heinous sins!

Worrying about the country’s ship, the “Searcher” is facing an Admiral Perdiyah-class frigate, a light frigate built by the Federal German Horvatz Shipbuilding Company for Colombia in the early 1980s.

The standard displacement is 1500 tons, the maximum speed is 27 knots, and the firepower is powerful: equipped with 2 quadruple French MM-40 "Flying Fish" anti-ship missiles, 1 single-tube 76mm "Otto-Melara" rapid-fire gun, 1 double-barreled 40mm "Brada" rapid-fire gun, 2 triple-mounted MK-32 torpedo tubes and 1 B0-105 anti-submarine helicopter.

If you really want to do it, although the displacement of the "Searcher" is more than ten times larger than it, it seems that there is no power to fight back!

On one side is a scientific research ship, on the other side is a warship equipped with anti-ship missiles!

All the bullets hit the driver's tower, which is considered a complete shame, and the "Searcher" has also received clear instructions from the boss-to Vasily's command.

Vasily is the Red Devil, and there is no word "surrender" in his dictionary!

...

Next, follow Andre’s instructions. Looking from the high 7-story pilot building, the 91-meter-long light frigate 200 meters away is very beautiful. Jamie, standing on the side of the driver’s cab, faces Andre’s Said: "Do you think it looks like the'Sydney'?"

As a result, Andre, who stood by the side, heard these words and replied: "It was too close. There were only two artillery pieces. There were no eight 152mm naval guns on top of the'Sydney', nor a group of secondary guns. Help silly.

It seems that our plan to lure the enemy is very successful.

By the way, Mr. Captain, we are not the Cormorant and we will not die together. "

At this time, Captain Miles shouted: "Four F16s are about to take off!"

Andre nodded and said loudly into the intercom: "I'm Andre, pay attention to each team, everyone has!

For freedom, fire! "

...

51 years ago, in 1941, the attack ship "Pelican" disguised as a cargo ship of the Third Reich navy encountered the Australian Navy cruiser, the "Sydney" equipped with four turrets and eight 6-inch heavy guns in the waters near Australia. An unbelievable battle broke out at a super close distance of less than one kilometer!

Although both sides eventually sank, most of the crew of the "Pelican" survived, and the "Sydney" was considered strangely missing by the Australian Navy afterwards, because it disappeared and none of the crew survived, and the Australians did not. Know what happened to it!

This is the "merchant ship sinking a cruiser" incident in modern history, which has been talked about at night. The German navy has created a miracle in the history of the world's navy.

And just now, at 3 pm on June 25, 1992, on the high seas of the Caribbean Sea 15 nautical miles west of Panama’s territorial waters, a sea battle similar to that unimaginable 51 years ago broke out.

A real civilian ship versus a guided missile frigate: An ordinary civilian ship with a little self-defense weapon, after being directly fired by the frigate, declared to the world: Lao Tzu is going to fight back!

It is not a battleship, but a civilian ship. There is no way to declare war by raising the Third Reich naval flag suddenly like the Pelican did, but the Searcher does not want to declare war unannounced.

It has its own way!

A reporter from the United Television Network stood in the cockpit and shouted at the camera very excitedly: "We have just been attacked by the Colombian Navy, no, it is Colombian pirates!

We are now on the high seas, less than 15 nautical miles from Panama’s territorial waters. They brazenly fired at us, and the captain ordered a counterattack for the freedom of the United States!

We are civilian ships, but we are not afraid of any pirates..."

This buddy is definitely a good reporter and a good actor. Halfway through his roar, the American audience who watched live on satellite heard a violent explosion!

At least tens of millions of people's hearts are grabbed: Did the Colombians fire?

The cameraman carried the camera and rushed to the port side, and then audiences all over the world saw an unbelievable scene: the ship was equipped with multiple cameras, several sets of shots shot at the same time were switched in the New York studio, and the crew on the "Searcher" Fighting bravely for the high-flying Stars and Stripes on the mast, against almost invincible opponents!

They used all weapons they could use!

Scientific research ships, which are allowed by international law to be equipped with self-defense weapons, but even though they are live broadcasts, some of the images are still invisible to the audience.

The "Searcher" is a civilian ship, and there is no need to consider the issue of the ship's radar stealth. It has a ship block instead of a warship-style pole and chain.

Just when the Colombian sailors on the frigate fired at the control tower of the "Searcher" with an automatic rifle, more than 70 crew members and security personnel were already ambushing under the port side barrier of the "Searcher".

They all squatted, quietly waiting for orders from above.

And behind some cabin doors on the port side, and behind some shelters by canvas and boards, the Russian crew and security personnel, who were basically waiting in groups of two, were ready to make sure that they could shoot as soon as they opened the shelter.

Similarly, in the middle of the hull, there seem to be several containers stacked for investigation reasons. This is a normal situation on any scientific research ship.

These are containers that were loaded on ships in Ukraine, but they are not ordinary containers, but big boxes that can kill people!

Following Andre's order to "fire", six large gaps suddenly appeared on the long side panel of one of the containers, and then within a second, a steel waterfall appeared!

The captain of the Colombian frigate 200 meters away noticed this change in detail, but he didn't know anything before he could see what was going on!

It is a specially customized "security container" to protect important and high-value ships like the "Searcher" from pirate threats.

It can be controlled manually to deal with sea targets, and it can also use remote shooting to deal with low-altitude targets with lower speed: six sets of Soviet-made four-barreled Gatling Yak-B 12.7 mm machine guns lined up in the container, with a rate of fire per shot 4,500 rounds per minute, very combat national machine gun!

The United States has similar weapons, the three-barreled GAU-19 machine gun ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the one used in Zhang Nan's team, but the maximum rate of fire is only 2000 rounds per minute.

What's even more exaggerated is that the Gatling machine guns in these containers use electric two-way supply, which can be interchanged. Each supply has 6000 rounds, and one machine gun can prepare 12,000 rounds. It's crazy!

When the whistling sound of the barrel rotation just sounded, and then there was no interval of violent shooting sound at all. The six large-caliber Gatling guns were divided into three groups, and the front and the back were aimed at the two turrets of the frigate, and the two in the middle. Quite directed at the cockpit of the frigate!

The bullet shell fell on the deck like a waterfall, and the dense barrage covered the targeted impact point. Hundreds of bullet holes appeared in the beautiful 76mm rapid-fire round turret at the bow of the frigate. At the same time, it can be seen during the day. Arriving fireworks and dense sparks!

Two four-barreled Yak-B 12.7mm machine guns fired at this projectile at a distance of only 200 meters. The speed between the two ships is almost constant, and it is difficult to hit them!

Nearly 150 bullets and armor-piercing incendiary rounds will be hit in one second, and the steel plate of the turret cover that is less than one centimeter thick is no different from that of paper!

At the same time, the relatively high 40mm rapid-fire gun on the stern of the frigate was treated the same, and the turret was instantly turned into a hornet's nest!

Maozi's equipment is unreasonable, this distance is too close, so close that the frigate has reached the muzzle of the Gatling gun!

Before the machine gunners had fun, the turret of the Breda rapid-fire gun exploded with a "crackling" explosion. The size of the "firework" was much larger than the sparks produced by bullets.

The Colombians loaded the secondary artillery before, but now it is apparent that the artillery inside has exploded!
