"Spanish Treasure Fleet", "Golden Fleet", "Spanish Treasure Ship", no matter how many names it has, cannot describe the fact that it is about the most famous and desirable fleet in history. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test

Spain has been searching for all kinds of wealth in the New World, and then hoarded it up, waiting to be transported back to the European continent. This behavior lasted for centuries. Although LeBron became governor, this situation has improved, but he alone has no ability to reverse the whole atmosphere.

In the real history, at the end of the 17th century, the Spanish royal family was exhausted. King Carlos II ordered the transportation of all the gold and silver treasures looted by the New World to Havana, and then assembled a large fleet directly to Seville in Spain.

But in the end, this "gold fleet" carrying tens of billions of pesos of wealth was stopped by a total of 150 warships in the Atlantic Vigo Bay by the British and Dutch combined fleet. After a month of continuous siege, the commander-in-chief of the fleet ordered the burning of all treasure-carrying ships, and the gold of about 4,5,000 carriages will sink to the bottom of the sea forever!

This wealth is too amazing. Unless it is a maritime power that is directly hostile to Spain, no one will dare to fight this fleet. It was like kicking on the **** of the king of Spain, he was absolutely, absolutely crazy.

But now there is another kind of creature called contractor in the world, and they have no future, just run with ease is their code of conduct. So the unscrupulous team of contractors will definitely participate.

However, Lu Yuan is different. He lacks the indifference he should have as a contractor. Although he will leave after one month at the latest, the "Opera" will still exist for a long time. In the "Opera" there are his friends and his lovers. He couldn't let go directly, or even let them blame them.

So although he needed gold, he couldn't do it in his own name, and it didn't work.

For this he made a plan ...

*

October 4th. clear.

A huge fleet of ten heavy Galen galleons, four Galen frigates and eleven Galen merchant ships. Majestic sailing on the sea of ​​the southern Caribbean.

Fleet Commander Ferdinando drank black coffee and chewed a biscuit casually. But his mind was not at all early.

He carefully looked at the charts on the table. Around the route that the fleet was going to pass, he confirmed the positions that might be intercepted one by one, and marked the current position of each national fleet.

On the chart. Marked with two large red "x" patterns, that is where he predicted the interception of the Treasure Fleet-one at the junction of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, which happened to be where the actual interception occurred in history. The advantage of interception here is that the North and South Treasure Fleets have already met and are able to reap the greatest results. The second "x" is located on the route from Belize to Havana. This will be an ambush specifically for the Southern Route Treasure Fleet. This time it will happen in a day.

Historically, the Inca Empire was mainly located in Central and South America, so the Spanish colonies in the south looted more gold, and the gold collected by the Treasure Fleet of the South Line. Three quarters of the total. Walking along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, there are some future American Kuhaha farmers who can only fish for some special products. Although there are many gold and silver products, they cannot be compared with the southern fleet.

This makes the Southern Route Treasure Fleet of great value for being robbed, and has always been in the first place in the Caribbean taverns, "the fleet you most want to loot"! The reason is, "You can have so much gold, it's worth it if you die."

To his surprise, however, it was not the Northern Line Treasure Fleet that ranked second, but a ship called the Elona.

"The flagship of‘ Opera ’, the richest and most successful pirate group in history, the highest amount of reward in history, the bones of the losers they buried can be cut off the Yucatan Strait!"

...

But Ferdinando still underestimated the difficulty of this big move. Because of the Spanish colonies throughout the Caribbean, the accumulation of hundreds of years is beyond imagination.

Originally he planned to ship his wealth back to Spain in one go, but unexpectedly, only gold, silver and precious stones filled the cabins of dozens of large ships, those ivory, hawksbill turtles, Indian artifacts, coinage and precious wood spices Wait, can only continue to exist in the warehouse of the port. This led him to have to adjust the entire plan to multiple transportation.

Because the further back, the greater the risk of transportation, so he first loaded the most valuable goods, for which he took great political risks.

Queen Maria Anne, one of the most powerful women in Spain, is crazy about Indian antiques and culture. When the Treasure Fleet was formed this time, the woman strongly requested to return her beloved Indian cultural relics on the first ship!

"This is an inestimable asset in the history of human civilization!" She said so.

Ferdinand scoffed at this, but the problem was that the king did not.

But in the end, Ferdinando still made up his mind and adjusted the transportation order of the goods under pressure. He loaded all the real gold and silver on board. As for the silly Indian cultural relics, he continued to throw dust in the warehouse.

After going back this time, God knows how the girl in China will go crazy? Actually let him transport the Indians' antiques first ... Didn't she understand that, besides her, didn't anyone like it? ! What is popular and what is hot is all an illusion! If the woman died, no one would pick up the Indian things on the street. The reason why these Indian antiques are so popular is that no matter how expensive they are, they can always sell them to her in the end! Or give her in exchange for greater political benefits. This is why the royal family has no money! He thought about the excited coffee almost spilled on the drawings.

Ferdinand patted his cheek. But gold is different, it is the most beautiful thing in the world. Ferdinando remembers when he walked into an Indian treasure trove. The ground, the house, the statue and the high chair, all inlaid with gold! That's really crazy wealth.

At this moment, the "beep" whistle and gunfire sounded again. He frowned and put down the chart, turning his eyes to the direction of the door.

"Report!" Sure enough. Within ten seconds, the guards shouted outside.

"Come in! Stop saluting, stand there, and say!" Ferdinando impatiently pointed at the guard.

"A pirate ship is firing at us. It's fast. It just rushed close and ran again! Slippery like a fish." The soldier reported.

"Let Elvin take care of it, you subpoena. Damn pirate!" Ferdinando waved in disgust and didn't want to bother. A small pirate ship will report to me, when I am a first officer?

Pirates, pirates are pirates. The lady must have spread the news! These pirates chased like mice. Knowing that this is a piece of cake that can choke him, he must run over and sniff greedily. No pirate can beat a fleet of twenty-five ships. This is purely disgusting me! Ferdinand cursed and began to study the map again.

To be honest, Maria Anne can display her majesty at most in the Spanish royal family, but Ferdinando still blames all her problems on her head.

"Report!" Only five minutes later, the guard ran back to disturb him.

"What's the matter?" Ferdinando asked, dropping the pen back into the pen holder.

"Then ... that pirate ship is back." The guard said tremblingly.

"Go to Elvin! Elvin! Damn. Get away! Let me be quiet for a while!" Ferdinand roared like a dragon and drove the guards out without even thinking about if Elvin really There is a way, why do you have to risk it to make him unhappy to report it?

"Ah! It was just too dangerous! The shell almost hit the shed." August said with a sweat.

He is now wearing a pirate captain's triangle hat. Standing on the tall "ship stern", holding a temporary wheel rudder pretending to be "driving" the "Elona", oh, it should be the suspected Barbados now. If the cannonball that passed the ship just hit the shelf, everything was exposed.

It was Li Huamei in the shed under his feet that was actually responsible for driving the boat. Due to the existence of false stern towers, Li Huamei's field of vision now has only two narrow directions. Therefore, in addition to impersonating the driver, August also made a cameo look, constantly standing on the high scaffold and yelling.

Such as,-"Ah, a two-star Galen frigate rushed from a place less than 220 meters west of the right side at a speed of about twelve knots! I really think I should turn right immediately and give him Come on! "

"Now entering the range, it is expected that I will fill the rudder with the left and then fire the gun ... I said the left with full rudder!"

...

Then the current Pirate Anonymous began to turn in a mess, fire one or two guns, and then began to run away. The order they received was to repeat this process continuously and continue to attract the attention of the Spanish Treasure Fleet until Lu Yuan stopped them.

As for, where is Lu Yuan? He is in the captain's room, about ...

Lu Yuan was lurking under the sea at this time. Like an invisible fish, he dodged from the bottom of the big ship one by one and moved forward flexibly. A powerful stealth technique can make him invisible for fifteen minutes, and a powerful item positioning technique can know that those ships are filled with gold-as for other belongings ... he really can't care about it, The money is too numb.

After crossing the frigate's alert circle, Lu Yuan approached the tail of a target. After the "Fake. Barbados" attracted the attention of the Treasure Fleet, Lu Yuan jumped out of the water and pressed the hull of a Galen ship with his hand, quickly crawling upward. Now many sailors are standing on the other side and watching the excitement. No one notices that something has climbed up from the water. Although Lu Yuan's body was invisible, after all, some water stains were left on the boat.

However, the sailors were talking heatedly about how long the pirate ship could last, and even started a wide range of open gambling. Every time the pirate ship goes back and forth, it will make some winners cheer loudly.

No one will believe that a pirate ship can rob the entire treasure fleet! The pirate ship was just like a clown, and they just had fun. Perhaps a pirate who is crazy about money and IQ can't even match a fish with an IQ.

Every time that ship approached, and did not wait to straighten the hull, it was hit by a row of volleys and fled. Then there was the laughter of all the crew. Everyone gathered on the deck like a festival and watched the joke of the pirate ship.

"Do you think that ship is like the British" Barbados "?" Someone said. Most of the sailors on board came from Spain. Even if he said the name of the ship, no one ignored it. The sailor could only shrug and gave up his efforts.

Pirate ships are still coming and going, more and more sailors are standing on the side of the ship to watch the bustle, and the game even spreads half the fleet. Those officers who wanted to crack down on the adjutant Elvin were still pushing privately.

Probably the only pain now. It was the unlucky adjutant Elvin. He was so stunned now that he couldn't take the Elona again. Damn he didn't have a fast boat in his hand. What should he use to catch the mouse? !

Just now he proposed that the entire fleet advance in battle, but before he reported it, he was still dead. He was laughed at by the officers. In the eyes of the Spaniards, battle lines were placed in front of such a small boat. Wouldn't it be regarded as a comparable opponent? It's simply failure ...

At this moment of revelry across the fleet, no one noticed that someone had touched the cabin of Galen Merchant Marine.

Lu Yuan crawled hard in the warehouse with a pair of night eyes after the possession of "The Book of Sea Monsters". The entire Galen merchant ship with a deadweight of nearly two hundred tons was packed with several cargo decks underneath. And because gold, silver, and those beautiful stones are actually very heavy things, so they are placed in the bottom of the bottom abnormally.

On the contrary, it is worthless supplies such as potable water, which are now placed on the upper deck with grandeur. The goods are stacked very densely here. There is no way to the bottom warehouse. When Lu Yuan was "shrinking bones" and carrying it by tentacles, he tried his best to find the wooden door on the bottom warehouse only to find out ... the bottom deck was nailed! Go to your sister!

Lu Yuanyun struck about the hard work of Shaolin and was born in a warehouse full of goods. Squeeze out half of the space. Leave the broken wooden barrels and the rum flowing out. He took out the extremely sharp Hungarian saber ‘Madonna’, and inserted it firmly along the gap of the ship's board. Infused with a genuine saber, this 20-centimeter-thick wooden board was cut effortlessly. Lu Yuan cut a half-size cave on the ship's board, and then the saber shook, chopping the cut wood lid into pieces.

More than a hundred tons of gold, melted into gold nuggets of different sizes, finally showed up in front of Lu Yuan.

In the darkness, Lu Yuan's eyes shone with joy, and he reached out to pick up a golden brick weighing more than a dozen kilograms, trying to retract the space attached to the bronze book. Sure enough, there was no hindrance. The gold disappeared from the hand instantly, and then appeared in the attached space.

"Hahaha ..." He chuckled softly and was about to let go of the space and take away all the gold bricks piled up in the bottom silo, a "ding" sound came from his ear ...

[Congratulations to the contractor ’s successful infiltration into the Spanish Treasure Ship. You can take ten pieces of gold of any size in this operation (subject to the status quo), and the rest of the gold will be regarded as "mission items, unusable". The stealing behavior shall be limited to once per month per ship. 】

"Your sister!" Lu Yuan was stunned. He forgot that there was still this limitation. Since infiltrating LeBron ’s estate, he encountered the limit of “only ten pieces of each kind of goods”, and he never encountered a similar limit, making him ignore this when making plans.

Lu Yuan was only interested in missing the gold in his hand, one more and one less, it didn't matter to him now. He stared at his feet in a daze, the bricks piled up slowly, thinking quietly. Elizabeth did not encounter such restrictions when acquiring and transferring the wealth of the "Inca's gold". And Lu Yuan sneaked into the theft twice, but both encountered.

It seems that this kind of restriction should be mainly aimed at sneaking into theft. After all, contractors have many capabilities, and sneaking in is often the easiest way.

If there is any difference between stealing and stealing, it should focus on the ownership of items. The ownership of the gold in front of him has not been transferred. It is still owned by the Spanish government, so he cannot steal it all. The "Inca's gold" is unowned, or the Inca (soul) paid to Elizabeth, so she can control it at will.

To understand this, Lu Yuan could only sigh and hide the traces of the infiltration, then quietly left.

It was not that he had not thought of whoever cut through the bottom of the ship and then tried the gold falling into the sea. But gold filled every corner of the bottom warehouse, and he couldn't dig a passage to go straight to the bottom of the ship, and he couldn't help it.

...

"Wow" sound of water.

August turned around to www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and saw Lu Yuan leaping onto the ship with a sea of ​​water, and came to him.

Seeing August turn around, he gestured directly and said, "The mission failed. Greet everyone to retreat immediately!"

"Mission failed!" Auguste yelled, turning the fake rudder in his hand hard. "I now need to turn around with the right full rudder, and then lift the sails to withdraw from the battlefield!" Li Huamei in the shed said without a word. After a whole day of operation, the two now have some tacit understanding.

Lu Yuanjing took off his wet clothes and changed them on the stern shelf.

"Then what shall we do next?" Auguste looked at the Spanish treasure fleet with some regret. You know, the British fleet is waiting for a day away, and today may be their last chance.

"Of course it is continued!" Lu Yuan said firmly, "we implement plan_b!"

"We still have plan_b?"

"Of course, we always have plan_b." ()
